all right we're back it's monday my name is will to freeze my right dave ruff did y'all see this tiger chasing down the guys on a motorcycle how could we miss it i sure did well that thing is fast it's a cool video but not nearly as cool as the tiger who jumped at that guy was on i think an elephant or something still don't know how that one ended yeah it cuts off right at the money at the money shot it's kind of what about that moose that was just chopping it up he was just chopping down that mountain good god that's what they do moose i think they might be one of my favorite animals to see run. Really?

If you had to rank the animals that I enjoy seeing run, I think moose is up there. You've never seen a cheetah just tear ass through an open field, though. Yeah, but, like, I feel like you know the motions that they're going through on it, where it's like seeing other animals run at, like, a fast pace is kind of crazy, like a giraffe. When you see a giraffe just like hauling it's crazy

looking have you seen two giraffe giraffes or giraffe giraffes get in a fight the thing is we it's impossible to even look it up you can't look that up but when they fight and they get in they get in squabbles yeah they whip their necks at each other it's violent they throw hell a neck they just throw neck man it's crazy yeah didn photojournalist die a couple years back? He had head-to-head contact with one. Yeah, like caved his head in. Holy shit. They got a very thick dome.

Yeah, they swing that thing around. I like watching the tiger run. The tiger's sneaky fast for being a thick boy. Oh, yeah. Tigers, I feel like, have a lot of extra skin or something. You know what? They have a lot of like extra skin or something. You know what like they like they have a lot on them. It's like their coat is weighing them down.

It's so tight though. I mean yeah it's not like it doesn't look like it's tightly affixed to their muscles. No. Like yeah I know what you're saying. You know what I mean? It's like when you see a dog that like is kind of just like a little like. They don't look lean. Yeah. Yeah I don't think they are. No I don't think just like a little... They don't look lean. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think they are. No, I don't think they are either.

Like a mountain lion is lean. Yeah. Tiger does a lot with what it is, like with that weight. Are there many out in the wild? Are they mostly in captivity? I think it depends on the species. Are they located in danger? Don't quote me on this, but there's more in Texas than there are in the rest of the world.

Don't tell me that. That's sad. In captivity, you're saying. Yeah, and I think that's straight from a Joe Rogan special. But are they also on the farms and ranches that have them? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why? It's like just one of those wild ass wildlife preserves.

Is that a depressing stat? Yeah, probably a little bit. We need to protect these things, man. I know, but I don't know if we're doing that in the correct way. It's super tight. I do love seeing the zebra farm or the zebras on that ranch on the way to Houston, though. Gets me pumped up every time.

Yeah. You know what got me pumped up today? When I was driving here and I saw a dude with a vanity license plate that said pipe it on the back he showed us just like dude yes yes dude monday didn't he have his iron sticking out of the bed of the truck yeah he just had a bunch of callaway golf clubs sticking out the back why doesn't callaway launch their next driver and just call it the pipe the pipe hey just if if you work for Callaway and you're listening,

circling back, thought of that idea, we get paid on that. I think we know a couple guys who do listen that work at Callaway. Yeah, we get paid on that. The pipe. Actually, AJ, major shouts, he just posted the mug that we sent him. If you want to get your own mug, go to washmedia.com slash shop.

Dude, he's pulling out the pipe. He's going for it. Dude, they have to call it the pipe, right? It's honestly not a bad name at all. Honestly, I don't care what they call it. I will be calling their next driver the pipe. Yeah. We're getting like athletic tape and just putting pipe on it.

Don't hate it. I am here for it. Go follow Wash media on Instagram also follow us at circlingbackpod I'm not sure if anyone has noticed this besides like me but circlingback has more followers on Instagram than a former

Again, 888-618-4422. If you're going to call, though, make sure you pipe it. Get in and get out, but make sure you pipe.

Full pipe. Full pipe. I got to post that thing, right? Yeah. Let's tweet. Post both of them, I think, yeah. That's tight. It's so tight. is piping it the new sending

it pipe it so pipe it there's a joke with my friends it's a joke for like three people there's this guy from our high school that i hate and he was a member at the country club a few of us joined after college y'all beat him with a pipe no but he pulled up in a cart i was on a t-box on the par five there's just like a creek and just shit to the left he pulled up and i'm like standing over the ball and he doesn't know that i don't like him and he like he just like he was trying to be encouraging he goes stripe it right before i hit and i just fucking came over the top and hit it so far left. And I just, so now like the joke is strap it. So pipe it is not that far off. No,

it's not rhymes. Even strap it. I was like, dude, just fucking go away. Pop it, Dave. Pop it.

I was telling the story the other night about the time that you, uh, got mad at me for reading your pot. I thought about that yesterday. I was zoned out and I was watching golf yesterdayt. I thought about that yesterday. I was zoned out. I was watching golf yesterday and I thought about that. Yeah.

We were talking about it with somebody because I was talking to somebody and he was talking about how it pisses him off when people move in his backswing and whatever. I started telling it and I was like, God, I got so aggressive on the course that day. Just to be clear, if I read someone's putt, I'm still not going to hit it in that spot.

I didn't care that you were going to get a line on mine. I was just like, is this the fact that I noticed you back there? I was caught off guard because I'd marched my ball and then I just walked back and I started zoning out. And then you were like, are you just going to watch my line the entire time? And I was like, what's going on right now?

And then I was like, okay, sorry. I have it in my head that you were behind me. And I know you weren't doing the putter bobber thing. But you were like squatted down. And now I remember it as like you back there with your hands over your bill. My feet were shoulder width apart. Yeah, I'm like, what's this guy doing? And there was money on the line.

We were on the same team. So that made it a little bit more aggressive. No, we weren't on the same team. I know. Oh, that made it a little bit more aggressive. No, we weren't on the same team. I know. It's not bad. Yeah, we weren't. Yeah. But it was teed up.

Should we talk? Should we talk? NBA free agency? I didn't realize that much talk about on my end. So yeah, what's the deal? Y'all didn't do anything, huh? Day? I guess I'm like, I really didn't either.

I'm nervously checking my phone. I'm I don't. I wanted to wake up this morning to some good news on Twitter. What are you looking for at this point? Well, last night I was looking for Pat Beverly. Okay. We thought we had Goran Dragic, which... That didn't work.

What the fuck? What happened there? So there's... Mavs are like the third team in this trade to get Jimmy Butler to Miami. They're going to take Dragic. And apparently there's a miscommunication. I don't know. One of the two teams is lying, saying,

no, no, he was not in the deal. It's these other players. So nobody really knows. And as of right now, the only thing the Mavs have done is sign Kristaps to a Max deal, which that was not a surprise. So yeah, I was hoping for Pat Beverly, maybe a little Danny Green action.

Neither of those things. Pat Beverly re-signed in L.A., which he got good money, but not crazy money. The Mavs could have done that. So, I don't know, man. I'm not really – I'm happy going into next season. We've got Luka and Kristaps, but, like, at the same time, it's like we've got to build a team around him,

so I'm kind of antsy. Danny Green, former Spurs great. You're well aware of him. He's won titles with two teams now. He has. Let's get him down here. I don't care. What have the Pistons done?

Derrick Rose, baby. The Knicks really took it on the chin, huh? Who? The Knickerbockers. Dude, yesterday. It's hilarious. I love seeing the ESPN tweet get brought up again by Old Takes Exposed where it's just Zion, Kyrie, and KD in Knicks jerseys.

It's like, dude, this is so bad. ESPN tweeted that? They tweeted it out a long time ago saying they could look a lot different come July or something like that. No. No, not at all. Who's the best player on that team now? No clue.

I don't either. No clue. Julius Randle, the one guy they signed. He's a good player. He's not the kind of guy you build a team around, though. No, I mean, he's a top three guy on a really good team. I mean, they traded Chris Stapps to the Mavs to make room to go get KD.

They got to stop doing this shit. It's so funny, man. On his way out, everybody in New York was like, oh, have fun with KP, man. Yeah, good riddance. And now they're like, we moved KP, and now we got Julius Randle. Are we reaching a point in the NBA where tanking and stuff

just is a bad look for the franchise overall, and people don't want to play for those people? Well, when it doesn't work out in your favor, it looks really, really bad, especially if you're a major market team like the Knicks, who have been bad for two decades and have just been a punchline forever in the biggest market in the world.

And tanking when there's a lottery system for the pick order, it's just way too risky. No. Like in the NFL, you tanking, when there's a lottery system for the pick order, it's just way too risky. No. Like in the NFL, you tank, you know you're getting the number one pick. You get the guaranteed pick. It's not like that in the NBA. Do you know who's really tired of being asked about the Knicks?

Stephen A. Smith. Yeah. Let's play this clip from last night. Where does everybody stand on him? I'm in. I love him. I feel like I've been out on him for so long, but now I feel like he's become self-aware. In small doses, I can handle him.

Yeah. I mean, I don't watch any of the ESPN first takes, so I just like to sound clips from him. This last night was an all-timer for him. Here it is. What happened? Did it stop playing? What happened?

Doesn't that need to wait until July 2nd? Until July 3rd? You have to do that today? Today? I mean, listen, right? This is botching. Is it buffering? It's just buffering.

They clearly have no love for me or Knicks fans everywhere. They don't love Spike Lee. They don't love Ben Stiller. They don't love anybody. They don't love anybody to do this to us. They don't love Spike Lee. They don't love Ben Stiller. They don't love anybody. They don't love anybody to do this to us. They don't love anybody. Let me throw a couple more names at you that Ramona's reporting they're interested in.

Bobby Portis and Reggie Bullock. What? What? Rachel, what are you doing to me? What are you doing? Could you ask me something about Kawhi? Could you ask me about Jimmy Butler? Could you ask me about anything other than the Knicks right now?

How about that? Anything other than that? I'm so done right now. I'm just so done with them right now. Jimmy Butler is a organization. I just love him just being like, Michelle, stop doing that to me. Or Rachel. We're a sports podcast now.

Yeah, we just do sports. Yeah, he's become a top five meme out there, Stephen A. Yeah, he's perfect. When they started doing the baby filter on him for Snapchat, that's when I was like, yeah, this is good. He did his response from, I guess, his home. He recorded it, and he had a backwards cap, like a snapback cap on.

And I think it was Bar, and he had a backwards cap, like a snapback cap on. And I think it was Barstool that had a picture. They had it up on Twitter with the caption, Kyle A. Smith. They have the, you know... You've seen their Kyle jokes they do. Barstool. Okay. Is that like the new Chad?

Yes. It looked funny. I think they photoshopped like a monster logo in the background, too. The Kyle thing doesn't resonate with me. The Chad and Brad stuff, that's like, man, yeah, I get that. The Kyle stuff, that one doesn't hit the same. We don't need to pivot to Kyle. No.

I'm fine with Chad and Brad. And Tanner. They'll never take Tanner from us. Being a Pistons fan, signing Derrick Rose really does nothing. I kind of like having Derrick Rose on the squad just because he's tight. He'll have a couple good games. Overall, it's nothing to get excited about. But that being said, the Pistons are not a free agency team.

That's not where we get excited. Yeah, it sucks, man. I'm right there with you. The Mavs have never landed a big fish they've got all the cap room in the world right now and all of our big players that we've gotten have been through trades yeah ai sheed i mean we obviously drafted like grant hill and shit but like i'm just talking like the big like blake griff Griffin. NBA is a funny place, man. Did the Spurs do anything?

I didn't see their name come across my feet. This is going to really help you out. They did sign somebody. I don't remember. Thanks. I can't remember who it was. And Kawhi's going to the Lakers, right? That sucks, dude.

That seems to be the move. It doesn't suck. I love it. I don't want that. I love it. That'd be fun to watch him. You know what? I'll say he's going to stay in move. It doesn't suck. I love it. I don't want that. I love it. That'd be fun to watch him. You know what?

I'll say he's going to stay in Toronto. Nah. Nah. I don't want him to stay in Toronto. I don't really care. I just don't want him to go to the Lakers. Anywhere but there. I'd rather him go to the Lakers than the Clippers.

I kind of like having two good LA teams. I know that's weird. And like, I, I, I shouldn't care either way, but like, I would like it if they were, if they were able to be the dominant,

be the alpha LA team. I'm not combating you on this, but why, like, why are you combating? Do you not want them? Do you not want a super team? Do you not like LeBron?

Do you not want like all of it? No, I do like, I like LeBron. I don't like, I don't want those three guys on the same team because I don't think it's going to take the fun out of the NBA, but at the same time, it's like I'm ready for, I don't know, I want a little bit more parity in the West.

Okay. And I'm thinking of the Mavs window, they've got a window now. It's not going to be next year, but I think in the next two or three, they're going to be contending. They can never get somebody to sign with them. And I'm assuming they can field a whole roster.

And that would be a problem. But LeBron is old. Yeah. He is old, but he's still LeBron. I'm in on, I don't, super teams, I used to hate it. No, I don't give a fuck now. Yeah. Give me dope. They're fun to watch. Yeah. He is old, but he's still LeBron. I'm in on Super Teams. I used to hate it. Now I don't give a fuck now. Yeah.

Give me dope. They're fun to watch. Yeah. I really enjoy watching the Warriors play. But I want someone to be better than the Warriors at this point. So, yeah, sign me up for a Lakers Super Team. Think about the Warriors. When I think of Super Team, so they did go add KD.

But before then, I guess they weren't technically a super team. They were kind of a super team. They were homegrown, though. Yeah, they were homegrown. Which that made it cool. And the ball movement, the chemistry was all there. They added KD. Obviously, that was a big deal.

It's like adding Meryl Streep to the cast of Big Cool Lies. But then they added Cousins, too. Yeah, he was... Yeah, but he stunk. But still. It was a good addition. Still, yeah. I don't think they would have been in the games

they were in in the finals without him. Man, there were some games where I thought he was actually hurting them, just being out there. Like, put Bogut's fucking stilt-ass out there. Have him crush a couple Fosters in the back. How'd we get this far without mentioning Kevin Durant? I don't know.

He's not even going to play next year, right? Yeah. It's weird, man. It sucks. It's such a downer that he's not even going to play next year. It is. Nets fans have to wait a whole other year just to get good. They're not bad.

They'll be decent. They weren't bad this last year. He should rush back. Yeah, he should rush back. Yeah. For sure. That never goes wrong. What's up with his announcement?

That announcement kind of sucked. I didn't even see it. It didn't kind of suck. It was terrible. It was just an image with a Biggie song over the back. Yeah. Which, as Sally's brother pointed out, interesting choice for a song.

Why not do a Hova song? He's part owner of the Nets, right? Not anymore. Oh, is he not anymore? He's not? He had to sell because he came, he did the sports agency thing, right? Yeah.

Rock Nation. But even his share of the Nets was like minuscule. Yeah. But yeah, the song, I can't even say the name of the song because it's got a word I can't say. Does it start with N? Mm-hmm.

Okay. Mm-hmm. Gotcha. An underwhelming announcement though i i fully expected a notes app screenshot like thanking the people of uh san francisco i don't think he cares about them oh i don't i guess he doesn't did he not like i mean even the graphic they used sucked he did it on the boardroom's instagram account, which is, I guess, his venture. I feel like he needed to announce this

like two weeks in advance so that he could get more followers. I feel like this was a follower grab for the Instagram account. And he got like 200K. But if you would have announced like a week ago, like, yeah, we're going to announce it on this, he could have gotten like a million.

Well, not to mention it got leaked like an hour before. Like Woj had it. I was watching, I think I was watching golf. I don't remember what I was watching. Well, not to mention it got leaked like an hour before. Yeah. Woj had it. I was watching. I think I was watching golf. I don't remember what I was watching. I saw the Woj bomb go across the ticker.

Did you see? Did you see SVP? Congratulations to SVP, by the way, for accepting our offer. Did you see? We signed him when I was out of town. Yeah. It's big. Shit.

Do we have? I don't. Do we have the space? It really cut into our budget, though. I hate to tell you. Are we not collecting paychecks? We're not getting paychecks. Not for the next 10 years, no. We give him a Bobby Bonilla-style deal.

It takes money to make money. We're giving him a million dollars every June 30th. With points on top? Did you see his tweet of Woj just sitting in the cafeteria at ESPN just like smiling with all

his devices in front of him? Yeah, Woj creeps me out. I'll say it. I don't know what it is. How is dude so plugged in? It looks like he's like a part of an acapella group or something. We knew KD was going to the Nets before Woj did. That's true. We had to be tight-lipped about it. We should have leaked it.

We should have. I tried to leak it. No one wanted to listen. Okay, Dave. We had to be tight-lipped about it. We should have leaked it. We should have. I tried to leak it. No one wanted to listen. Okay, Dave. We both watched the media with the huge breaking news here. You're the guy who does the ZJ memes, right? Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, we're going to wait for someone else to announce this, but thank you, David. God, man. There's nothing worse, though, when it's date night and the lads are all going out. That's the worst. It's like, damn, I want to be out with the lads. What else we doing?

Let's move on. I've got bruises all over my back. What? Cupping? I crushed water slides this weekend. Why isn't there any video? It's very hard to do a water slide. It's very hard to have video.

Dude, your phone's waterproof. You can do a selfie the entire way down. I don't believe that, though. I saw a dude doing it, and I was like, I'm not about to be that guy. I believe it. I don't trust it. But yeah, I was hitting the big boy one. They've got one that's like 40 feet.

Dude, how do you not have video of you just shooting out the bottom it wouldn't be that exciting but that's out the back dude i would have liked to have seen it yeah so yeah shout out to uh my good friends at the marriott down in san antonio um i was trying to keep up with my niece and nephew it's so funny how in shape kids are because you get on the slide, get out, and they're already sprinting up the stairs. They don't get tired. And you're trying to keep up with them, and you're just like,

they're in way better shape than I am. I can't just do this. They go down, want to run back up. And it's a lot of stairs, too. They have a lot of energy. The fastest mile I ever ran was in, like, seventh grade. Like, I was just trucking. Yeah.

You were chopping. Yeah. And they were even doing the thing. So it's one of those slides where you launch in on your back. You got to cross your legs, cross your arms. It's, like, three, four feet flat, and then it just drops straight down. And they figured out some trick where you can grab onto the bar and like propel yourself oh yeah back will fly off the the slide oh yeah and like the lifeguards like yeah it's a little trick some people do to get

get a lot more speed and i was like you know that would have been me like two decades ago but now that i'm if you like uh you got to get up on your shoulder blades too not your blades but like that you got it minimizes the friction. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Well, dude, I'm beat the fuck up. Don't let your back drag.

It'll slow your ass down. I woke up Saturday morning, and I thought, like, my ass feels like it got shot with a paintball gun. It's just got, like, these little bruises on them. It's from the slide. Do you get nervous about barreling into, like, little kids when you're shooting out the slide into the pool i thought about that because there's another one that's one of those covered ones where you go down in a tube and it's all dark you can't see i like those

and if you're a real one you go backward yeah what the fuck's about to happen and i was thinking that yeah yeah i missed that shit let's do dangerous man don't do that no you can go backwards not dangerous if i was if it was me at 14, I would have held my hands out to stop and then waited until my buddy comes down, and then we would have waited for the other dude, and we would have gone down as a train and really pissed off those lifeguards. You would have plugged it, yeah.

We get down there, they're like, what the fuck? I kind of forgot about all these little intricacies of crushing a water slide. These three 30-year-old men, they went in this slide, but none of them came out. Yeah, what are they doing there? I don't know what's going on. It's the deal.

Oh, there they are. I mean, do we need to go get some water slides off real quick? Yeah, let's go to Schlitterbahn. Dude, I'm going to Schlitterbahn soon. I'm going. I'll go. I'm going. I'm taking the homie.

Can Barch go on the slides? That's the thing. No, he's too little. Another year, he'll be fine. Yeah. But once he's tall enough, once he reaches that minimum height, we're. Should we do that one thing? Where is that thing?

It's outside of town. That's just the one that launches you in the air. Oh, it's in Waco. It's just that. One of those enormous slides. Yeah. There's one in Central Texas. Yeah.

Did not know that. Yeah, we got to go. Dude, those are so, those are badass. Yeah. I've never done one. We enormous slides. Yeah. There's one in central Texas. Yeah. Did not know that. Yeah. We got to go. Dude. Those are so, those are bad-ass. Yeah. I've never done one.

We have to do it. I think we could, I think we get parks on if we just go in like, okay, I'll wear like a giant trench coat and he can sit on my shoulders and we'll close it and it'll just look like a really tall person. And then we get in there. We pop it off.

We can't put him at the top though. Cause I don't think he's going to be that convincing. Parks. Yeah. He's ahead of before you're like this guy's got a tiny ass we'll put dave on parks his shoulders okay that'll work and dave will talk through it hello i'm here for the slide that's so stupid yeah we should go to slitter bond though i don't i don't want to go to hit that big slide we go to slitter bond your boy i don't want to go hit that big slide. If we go to Schlitterbahn, I don't want to go on a peak day. No, no, no. We got to go on a Tuesday morning. There's no lines.

We'll get Dippin' Dots. We'll get Turkey Legs. Yeah, Turkey Legs and Dippin' Dots. I have a memory of the first time and only time I went to Schlitterbahn as a kid, and I had a turkey leg, and it was really crowded. This woman walked by me with a wet tube, turned and scraped her entire tube against my turkey leg and it was really crowded and this this woman walked by me with a wet tube like turned

and scraped her entire tube against my turkey leg. I was just looking at it. I had to throw that shit away. I was like, I'm not eating this tube pool water turkey leg. Dude, Will and I

are going to eat the rest of that turkey leg. We don't care. Fuck that. Give me that turkey leg. No, if you would have seen this chick. I'm going to count on it.

If you would have seen this chick. Dave, are the rumors true that you like can't even have a fly get near your food? What does that mean? Like you don't like if a fly lands on something. No, I don't. Why would anybody like that? But is it true? Alyssa told me that you threw away a bunch of smoked chicken that you made because a fly was on it.

Yeah. Oh, absolutely. If a fly lands on my food i'm not eating that food i feel like i feel like that's overkill i feel like you can get past that no i clearly can't i will i threw it away i will identify the the flies landing zone and i'll clear that off and i'll exactly right but if i don't know exactly where he landed i'm probably still going to go ahead with my meal yeah it was leftover well to be clear um assuming this is what you're referring to because i have no context for this um the time that you threw out food it was fly on it yeah that's that's only happened once um no what day it was leftover chicken thighs it was leftover chicken thighs and i was like these didn't look that appetizing anyway.

Cause you know, chicken doesn't even chicken thighs. They're not that great leftover. But yeah, I threw, I ended up throwing like half of them away. Cause we get a fly problem or we had a fly problem. There's like these two house flies that we couldn't get. Really annoying. Randy would try, try his best. He would notice them and he would like open his mouth and shut it real quick,

but he was nowhere near the thing. He tried to be all stealth. He was like, dude, Randy, you're not going to get this fly. He was trying that. Good try. Yeah, no, I don't like it when flies land on my food. Hey, since we're talking about- I mean, I don't like it, but at the same time-

It's gross, man. Since we're talking about water parking and shit. They're always on doo-doo and shit. Should I tell the quick story of the little girl in in the pool yesterday or is it not worth it i don't this okay i'll just real quick i was at lifetime gym this little girl oh like two or three was walking with her family and just like steps off the side of the pool and into the deep end i was like oh shit someone's better get that girl out real quick she can't't swim. How deep is the deep end there? Okay, I say deep end.

This was like the lap pool. Okay, definitely it's like four or five feet for a three-year-old or whatever. Yeah, she was fully submerged when she went in, obviously. And her dad was sitting there in a bathing suit, just kind of standing there, not doing anything. And I was probably 30 feet from the edge of the pool when this happened. I was just kind of waiting for him to make a move, and he wasn't really doing it. Was he at least, did he notice what was happening?

Yeah. You just kind of turn around, and I was like, oh, shit, I better do something since he's not. So I start to make a move toward this little girl. Her mom, out of nowhere, comes flying in, like, wearing clothes, not a bathing suit. She had, like, clothes on over her bathing suit wearing a backpack frantically trying to get this little girl out meanwhile her useless fucking dad was just standing there watching the whole thing go down and she the mom like the look she gave her husband was like are you fucking kidding what was he what was his excuse i think he just froze

i was so weird and then she she gets out and the dad said, I bet that scared you, huh? Like, yeah, dude. She was five seconds from inhaling water and going unconscious, you idiot. Sorry. Dude, that's... It was quite the little scene yesterday. Yeah, don't bring your kid to the fucking pool

if you are not willing to save their life when they fall in. Yeah, that should be a... We're a pro save your kid from drowning podcast. all in yeah that should be a we're a pro save your kid from drowning podcast man you you heard the you heard the opening notes taylor hawkins beating on the drums little foo fighters hero and you thought you were going to go into action hero dorn almost came back out you know i'm glad it was the mom and not me that jumped in and got the little girl out but i mean yeah i would have i would have jumped in if i had to okay if you jumped in and got the little girl out. But, I mean, yeah, I would have jumped in if I had to. Okay, if you jumped in, and then you noticed the little girl

just starts swimming laps and she's fine, would you have just played it off, gone into a backstroke or some shit? This poor little girl, she was absolutely mortified. Was she crying and shit? She was hysterically crying. It was sad. Do they have lifeguards outside?

This was inside. This was right by the locker room entrance. And there are no lifeguards over there. Oh, that's awkward. Because that's like the adult swimming area. Okay. Yeah, that's really weird. Really weird.

It's really weird to just watch your kid not swim. Yeah. Anyway. Let's talk about quip real quick as you know packing your toiletries somehow always involves a delicate game of stacking and space hacking and you never know what's going to explode in your fucking dop kit it might be like some some lotion you have some some like sun sun spray like whatever it is it gets everywhere that's why you need a quip electric toothbrush that works well at home as well as on the go.

They're compact, and they're wireless design that tucks easily into the corner of your carry-on or back pocket if you're just spending the night. Plus, they have a travel-ready cover that protects your brush from sandy swimsuits and luggage slip-ups. They also have a three-month battery life that will last you through seasons filled with weekends away. It's really impressive stuff.

They also send you a refill pack, which we'll get to in a second because you can get your first for free. If you sign up, they even have the travel, uh, travel size toothpaste. Like you don't want to, you don't want to go to the store and get travel size toothpaste.

Every single time you leave this little thing, a toothpaste you'll ever see. She's a cute little guy. It's cute. If you're not familiar with Quip, it's the hottest thing in electric toothbrushes right now. Sensitive sonic vibrations. They've got a built-in two-minute timer

that pulses every 30 seconds so you know when to switch it up. They even have the multi-use cover that we just mentioned that works as a stand. You can just put it straight on the mirror. Keeps it off your counter. That probably has bacteria all over it. Plus, there's no wires.

There's no clunky charger and it runs for three months on a single charge. We love Quip. You should too. And that's why we're taking it everywhere with us this summer.

I mean, shit, we got... Dave and I are leaving town just on Wednesday. I've got mine on me right now. Quip starts at just $25. You can go to getquip.com slash circling back right now, you can get your first refill pack for free.

That's your first refill pack free at getquip.com slash circling back. Do it up. You guys seen this bottle cap challenge that's just taking the internet by storm? I have seen it. Truth be told,

I hadn't seen it until John Mayer posted it. I saw some MMA guy do it. Max Holloway. He spun the thing and it stayed on the bottle the whole time. Oh, that's time. It was wild. That's when you know you did it big. I've seen a lot of MMA bros trying to replicate.

When are you going to do it? Here's the thing. It looks painful for an unflexible guy like here's the thing okay obviously these we assume that they have several takes at this right it's not just a one take yeah it doesn't seem like it's that difficult you need to post your outtakes when you do this um here's here's a question i have though i'm imagining you just in your apartment and the homie's got a 2 liter Sprite and you try to do it and you just accidentally

like roundhouse kick the homie and he's like what the fuck dad here's a very important question obey your thirst fuck you Dorian is the bottle okay I'm assuming it's full of liquid it has to be some weight to it because if it was super light then there's no way it would work you would just kick the thing off the table

is it like attached to the table no I think. I thought somebody's holding it. Someone's got to hold it. Okay. So there's. Okay. That was going to be my question.

Is someone holding it down? Or what's the situation? The person that's taping it is also holding it. Yeah. Okay. Then yes, this is not a very difficult thing to do. All this is, if you're not familiar with it, is people kicking a bottle cap that has been screwed off a little bit.

Yeah. They're doing like a roundhouse kick. And they're spinning it and it's floating in the air. Just keeps on spinning and you have to get it perfectly. John Mayer was the first person I saw do it. He challenged Jason Statham, which I feel like Statham should be able to absolutely crush that. I forgot about Statham. He's married to a supermodel,

Rosie Whiteley. Did well for himself. But this is no, this is harder, this is more difficult than like the bottle flip. Which my nephew still was trying to do. Like I watched him,

you know, where you just flip it and it lands and everybody goes nuts. Right, right. I think that was almost intentionally easy. But I feel like this is not as easy as you think.

Maybe. It looks like I could do it in, give me like 30 or 40 tries, and I could pull it off. You're going to be sore, though. Oh, yeah. I'm not a very flexible person. That kick just looks like you're going to pull a groin or a hammy or something. Yeah, yeah.

It's not going to be easy for me to do. You've got to figure out your – you can't just go in blind. You have to figure out how to do your kick before you even start doing it. Yeah, this may be a surprise to some, but I don't have any formal training. I don't think you even – do you have to do it backwards? Do you have to do the roundhouse kick to the back, or can you do it frontward? I don't know. I don't know. I think you've got to do back i think we need to try this i think we all need to individually try it between now and when we get back next monday another being another

very important question is the bottle cap is it screwed firmly on no fuck no there's no way there's no way that any of the people that i've seen do it have it screwed they probably they probably just lightly turn it until it starts to slow down and they let it go. Yeah. No, you couldn't do it if it was tightly put on. There's no way in hell you could do it. The only person that could probably do that is Bruce Lee

after he gets done inside Dave's shirt. The real takeaway here, Bruce Lee or whatever his name is. Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan. Now, Bruce Lee whips my ass. Jackie Chan as a mid sixties, elderly man. He's still whipping your ass.

He's still, he's still, he's still inside. Jackie Chan. It's definitely not inside me. He's all the way inside. He's in you. He's also like five,

four, isn't he? Come on. That's, I feel like that's more of a threat. No way. Yeah. And you know,

he's shrinking cause he's old. Uh, more, more of a threat. Keep John at Jackie. He might fucking run you. The time you're the man. Uh, yeah. Don't fuck with Jackie. He might fucking run you. The tinier the man. Don't fuck with him. He's like 5'4", dude.

Dude, that needs to be the narrative going forward for sure, guys. So Luke P is just an absolute savage killer. Dude, still not fucking with Luke P? People were mad that we didn't talk about Tyler C. Throne shade at his 5'8 height. Oh yeah, we probably should have mentioned that. Did we not? No, I'm not either. People were mad that we didn't talk about Tyler C. throwing shade at his 5'8 height. Oh, yeah.

We probably should have mentioned that. Did we not? No, I don't think we did. No, we didn't talk about it. Hey, dude, I think the real takeaway is just stuff spinning in slow motion is tight. Yeah, that's cool.

Yeah, there are cool videos for sure. I feel... We can do this. Now that I'm thinking about it, is it kind of fucked up Tyler C. called him out for his height? To make fun of someone's height is...

That's like so low. It's a low blow. I don't think I could ever do that no matter how like villainous I felt at the time. You can't help it. It's like calling someone like ugly.

Yeah. It's like, come on. They can't help how their face looks. But when you're acting like... When you have little man syndrome though. Yeah.

Does he have little... I think it's way more than that. I think that might be part of be part of it i don't know man i feel like he had a scout telling me just didn't have the height height there's way to day i'm proud of you man and then and then that's like stuck with him that's part of the issue i don't know luke p's got a lot going on this is free bachelor talk normally we charge for this shit if we were to charge someone for this stuff where where could they find it patreon.com circling back podcast okay it's not that hard to figure out okay are you going to tell people what you stumbled upon on accident i have no clue what you're talking about i don't want to say too much because i

don't want to in case you don't but what you accidentally saw when you were doing some internet surfing on a certain forum website. Did Dorn bring back the forums? That may have to do with the show that we do a podcast on. Oh, yeah. I saw spoilers. Reddit.

Someone posted something in Reddit, did not mark it as a spoiler. I didn't think twice about it, because when someone marks it as a spoiler, it blurs out the screenshot or because when people, when they, when someone marks it as a spoiler, it blurs out the screenshot or the photo of whatever they post.

The person did not do this and I got all the spoilers. It was such a spoiler that it like jumped ahead like four steps where I was like, so even if this spoiler isn't true, the things leading up to it

are definitely true. And it was just, yep, this is a downer. Did you start it and just realize what you were doing and was like,

ah, I better just continue? I had seen what I needed to see. Not what I needed to see. I had seen what I didn't want to see. And by that time, it was like, well. I asked Will to tell me. My bet's made.

I told Dylan. I know the spoiler, too. Nice. I'm going to try to keep it pure over here. We'll see. It doesn't ruin the season for me because based on the spoiler, there's a shit ton that happens that has to lead up to this and I can't wait. Here's the thing though.

Knowing the spoiler, I'm actually more excited for the rest of the show. Yeah, me too. Because of how it ends. I think there's some ridiculous stuff that has to pan out and I don't know what it is. There's not that many episodes. And it's going to be time. Isn't there only three? I don't know.

I have no clue. Well, all I know is it does kind of ruin the pod for me because now I'm going to look into everything y'all are saying you need to be worried about Dylan did this all last season after he figured it out yeah this was all like you were you were just spoiling stuff for everybody I was it was accidental I didn't mean to and I'm sorry if I did actually since we're talking spoilers should we just go ahead right now and uh give quick takes on Big Little Lies last night? Yeah. Okay.

So just so the people complaining about spoilers. Blur it out. First of all, I don't know what you were doing last night. Literally nothing was on. So just like watch it on Sunday night since we're probably going to talk briefly about it every Monday. They were looking for Woj bombs. Yeah. Mash that fast forward button while we're talking about Big Little Lies.

Dave, you said you had some takes. Start us off. Yeah. Okay. talk about the um the birthday party you know the 70 000 birthday party yeah that was uh stupid my biggest issue with that they got 100 participation from all like costume participation yeah you don't see that from every person at the party that doesn't happen i don't care where you are there's always going to be some dad that shows up wearing like a travis matthew golf polo and some like some baggies or something who's just there like he's just like here for the it's the kids party i'm not going to go all out i don't need to go rent a costume it was a shit theme but not in yeah that theme stinks look like they're having fun it did look

borderline lit. Looked like they had a band there. The real band, the original singer at least. I don't know. But like, come on. Somebody's showing up to that thing out of costume. If you're currently going through a bankruptcy hearing, there's no way, there's absolutely no way

that you can even think about affording to do that. Like, I don't even know if you have the financial width to even try to make any of that even remotely happen. That's just a gap for them. Yeah. That would have been hard to pull off. That trustee didn't look like he was about fun and games. I don't think it would have been hard to pull off.

I think it would be literally impossible to pull off. There's no way. Maybe they had some petty cash slash fund. So man, everyone's life is just pretty much falling apart, right? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Everyone, everyone on the show. It's really a hate to see it. Well, Reese brought it upon herself. I'm having trouble finding any sympathy for her, for her at this point.

And I think Adam Scott is completely in the right of how he's acting and I think that he's actually acting quite nice by not leaving her already he's been kind of he's always been kind of a fun sponge on the show yeah I guess it's just because he had to be married to such an obnoxious person. Reese? Yeah. She's like the least obnoxious out of all of them though. Oh, I disagree. Laura Dern is obnoxious. Laura Dern's turned it up to 11. Is that her name on the show?

Yeah. Laura Dern has gotten way worse. But she is the worst. She didn't have this streak of her little chip on her shoulder as she's self-made and she will not be poor. That wasn't in it last season like this season she's just all of a sudden gone hard on it imagine being married to her and then you lose her money you gotta face that wrath the rest of your life i feel like she's still bringing in good money she's got a good job yeah but it's getting it's all getting seized or whatever shut down yeah yeah they take like x percent of whatever you're making she's a broke boy now well i think um i think i i i have this thought and it's kind of dark but i'm kind of worried

what might happen to her husband why i think some of them he might he might do something that's really really sad and i don't know maybe they don't have enough episodes left but like he just I mean you know I feel like he's not enough of a character for me to care about him like he last season he really

did nothing he was just there and he was just in some pretty graphic sex scenes yeah like he but he does really nothing for me

no he's gotten better I kind of like when we got to know him a little bit more and he's got like the man cave or I think he had

like a train set and shit. I was like, okay, this dude seems like he's chill. And then he just defrauded investors and whatnot. SEC investigations, TFM, I get it. Can we agree that they're 100% going to give the Emmy to Meryl Streep? She's really good. Yeah. Really good.

I mean, she's kind of taken over the season and yeah i hate i hate her character it's a great addition to the show though they they nailed that but her character is trash this is them intentionally trash this is the yeah like you said it's the warriors that in kd like they didn't need her and now she's just putting over the top did you did you know that laura der Laura Dern and that kooky lady from the Democratic debates were roommates in college? Which kooky lady? Marianne Williamson.

Really? Oprah's friend. Did not know. They were college roommates. I don't know to the extent. I haven't read up too hard on it. But it kind of makes sense. What school?

I don't know. I bet it's Ivy. probably some like uc school uc like santa barbara why did i think ivy the banana slugs get a slug off um i don't how do i i don't know where the season ends i don't want these kids to go with her obviously i don't want Ziggy to even like be a part of Meryl Streep's life. Yeah. That's just really gross. Um, and it's just really,

really okay. Look, I'm breaking my lease. If she moves in next to me, that's so weird. I'm breaking my lease. I don't know. I don't know how it works in California,

but she's not getting custody of those kids. That's a pretty high standard you have to meet. The lawyer, her lawyer was a real one. He was trying to plant the seed. Just be like, hey, they're going to resent you. Are you sure you want to do this? He was a real one. I feel like half of doing family law is telling the client,

like, are you sure you want to do this? Yeah, are you sure? Because people just operate purely on emotion and that shit and do some really stupid things that's why family law is miserable shout out to everybody out there who's doing it good show it's been a good season

these last couple episodes have been really good yeah you didn't like the beginning ones, didn't you? Was that you? No, that's not true. When I made the comment, I hadn't even started the second season yet. I just thought the season one ended with a little bit to be desired.

Okay. That's all. Can I say this? Another situation that would never happen, the bartender that Nicole Kidman took home, he's not going to just walk in there. He's not going to walk in there he's gonna he's not gonna walk out his shirt off he's gonna hide like if you're that dude oh i know what's happening i

hear kids in the kitchen let me go walk through shirtless hey oh hey what's up dude no one's doing that why she's still taking ambient chill i'm in the closet like hey are they gone yet like that's me it would take me all of one bad ambient experience to like not take it anymore yeah she needs to chill with the ambient. Have you ever taken it? I've never taken it. No. Is it wild?

Yeah. I mean, you legitimately like... You trip? You trip. That's only if you force yourself to stay awake, correct? Well, you don't have to force yourself. Sometimes you just don't fall asleep. Oh, really? Like, I've taken it a handful of times to sleep.

And sometimes I would just take it, turn on the tv and be like oh it'll put me to sleep with the tv on and then like an hour and a half passes and i'm like oh whoa isn't that the idea behind quaaludes too isn't it a sleep aid that if you stay awake on it that's when you start to to quaaludes like a sleep aid or were they like like uh just an anxiety depressor like okay i don't know i'm not sure okay but either way like i mean yeah like people have really bad experiences on it which if she takes it like she shouldn't be having those like the next day but getting in your car like that's something that people actually do like the night of you taking it it shouldn't last like eight hours, though. Meryl Streep made a really good point about her driving around all pilled out and shit.

Oh, about Ziggy or Iggy? What's that kid's fucking name? What a shitty name. No, no. Iggy's our friend from... It means Ziggy's not much better. No. As a name.

What about Diggy? Wasn't he one of the guys too? What about Biggie? I mean, no, there really was a season with an Iggy and a Diggy on The Bachelorette. They went to UCLA, by the way. Was it Diggy? Yeah, there was a Diggy, I swear. Huh.

I'm pleasantly surprised by the season. I kind of went in a little skeptical. Very skeptical, actually. Just because no source material. But here we are. I think you had the mentality of someone that's watched season two of True Detective. You just get nervous. I thought you were going to say Game of Thrones.

But yeah, that too. No. Man, my Twitter feed is so going to say Game of Thrones, but yeah, that too. No. Man, my Twitter feed is so lit now that Game of Thrones is done. My dad started Breaking Bad. That's big. He's in season one. Pretty excited about it for him.

Good for him. Yeah. Excited for him too, man. Yeah. Wow. Do you see I beefed with Alexi Lalas this weekend? Is that how you say it? How did you think you said it?

Lalas? Lalas. Alexi Lalas. I don't know. Huh. I thought you were trying to... I've never overthought it. You're the soccer guy,

so I'm going to defer to... I've never overthought it. I've never... I don't know. I thought you were demeaning him, which I would have been like, yeah. Alexi Lalas?

I don't know how... I mean... No one's ever corrected me. I don't know, though. I'm well aware that I pronounce things know how. I mean, no one's ever corrected me. I don't know, though. I'm well aware that I pronounce things weird sometimes. Interesting. But I'm not aware of when I actually do it. Well, you should make up a funny nickname for him.

So he did what people in media do that I hate. Like, thanks for the click. Oh. Yeah. So Fox, who he works for, put out a video saying that he said that France was going to beat the United States in the quarterfinals of the Women's World Cup.

They mentioned him in the tweet. And his take on it was that historically, France have really been the type of team that does not rise to the pressure. They're choke artists. And his argument against the U.S. winning was that France isn't going to be a choke artist anymore. They're actually going to win.

It was like, okay, so they're just like, what's going to change? It's not like they have like a new player that's like a game changer or anything like that. You're just banking on the idea that they're going to not choke. Is it normal for him to chirp back at people on social media? I don't think so. I feel like he might get shit on a lot, so probably every now and then. It's surprising to me that someone who's been doing it for as long as he has

and has been in the public eye for a long time, been in media for years and years, is still susceptible to going at people on Twitter. He, now that I look at it, he kind of does clap back. Well, it's his claim to fame.

He was on the nineties cup teams. Yeah. Well, his claim to fame wasn't like being like the greatest defender in us history or anything like that. Like it was literally just being a red haired guy on our national team. So he was just a guy people recognize. He had a wild ass hair.

Yes. Who was the other dude on that team? Was it Kobe? Kobe Jones. I remember him. Cause he had ass hair. Yes. Who was the other dude on that team? Was it Kobe? Kobe Jones. I remember him. Kobe. Because he had wild hair. Yeah.

That's why. But Alexei Lalas was a good person. He was a good player. But the reason people know him is because of his fucking hair. Right. People don't remember Eric Winalda. You might know the name. Oh, yeah.

But you couldn't pick him out of a lineup. So I responded to the tweet from fox saying dude shut up because it was a trash take but wait so you responded to the fox tweet yes okay i don't follow him there's no way i'm following him he stinks he's he's a troll like he just quote tweeted somebody yesterday and someone said, imagine having a job with takes as consistently bad as Alexi's. And he quote tweeted them and said, I don't,

he said, I don't have to, which is just like, cool dude. You're admitting that you have a job with your bad takes like good, good clap back. My guy. Who's the comparison in the NBA is like Chris Broussard or something.

I'm trying to think like Like, who has consistent... Oh, Paul Pierce, maybe. Who has consistently terrible takes. I don't know, man. I equate it to like... It's like when Herbstreet picks Michigan over Ohio State. Like, you're just doing this to like make yourself look better. Whatever.

But then he responds back and says, like, you the or like you don't have to click i wanted to be like well i didn't click i follow fox sports soccer or whatever on on twitter and that tweet came across my feed like i wasn't actively seeking out this content from you so if you responded to a fox tweet he had to just go through he was tagged he was yeah he was tagged in it this is like a similar thing happened to me when so So how can I explain this? You guys don't know who these players are. But there was another tweet a while back that was like the BBC. And they said like something about how it would change a team

if they added a Kevin De Bruyne. And he is a very good player, midfielder, like one of the best in the world. And I was like, how would it change the team? Like by adding one of the best players in the world, I think it would improve the team guys. The guy who wrote the column is a famous Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher. And he clapped back at me and I didn't even realize he wrote the column. So he was clearly just going through and just clapping back at people. And I was like, dude, you have millions of followers. Like don't,

don't hone in on me. It's weird. he didn't do the quote tweet of you to make you look stupid he might have he might have done it that's the that's the ultimate but it was just like shut up like yeah adding kevin to bruno like oh yeah that's probably a good move he was like the best player in the premier league last season shut up it's just weird to me that guys like that will just go through mentions and they probably get hundreds of people just like chirping at them yeah just pick out like i'm gonna go at you the unfortunate part was that i asked him i was like do you want to settle this over some white claws like men and he said he said he didn't want he didn't pursue it any further oh alexi yeah he did say spiked seltzers with a great equalizer well i don't think that's wrong on on very many

levels it's fair yeah they'll keep you honest we've learned that yikes nothing better though just a good back and forth a couple of lads having a little disagreement over soccer i didn't even know i let over some claws i didn't even realize what had happened because i was actually uh i was playing a game of fifa when he clapped back at me. So I picked up my phone and checked it after, and I was like, oh, shit, Alexi is not happy with me. USA sort of, they won that game, though. Did you see that?

Yeah, they didn't look good, though. He had a bad prediction there. Fucking fool. Yeah, USA didn't look good. They didn't? Mm-mm. France looked real good in the second half. They probably should have won it.

Did you all see, Deadspin had an interesting headline after that game. They didn't? Mm-mm. France looked real good in the second half. They probably should have won it. Did y'all see? Deadspin had an interesting headline after that game. What's the purple-haired girl's name? Megan Rapinoe. Yeah. The headline was something like, purple-headed lesbian takes down France or something like that. Yeah, she scored two goals.

Yeah. Did they get fried for that? Interesting way of... I don't know. I didn't really look too deep into it, but scored two goals. Yeah, I was just like... Did they get fried for that? Interesting way of... I don't know. I didn't really look too deep into it, but it was interesting. I did enjoy the Megan Rapinoe memes of her doing like the...

You guys can't see it right now, but I'm doing a thing. Oh. Where I lean forward and hold my arms out. That was cool. That was real cool. I feel like you do it once. I feel like you don't do it twice.

She did it twice? She did it twice. Oh, yeah, you got to have a backup. Yep. I'm trying to find out. She's kind of a... I like to pull the shirt over the head and slide on your knees look. I respect her, but she's kind of a attention seeker, I think.

Ooh. She knows what she's doing with everything she does. She knows she's got the crazy hair. Wait, why do I not remember it being crazy? I guess I don't watch enough. I thought it was just bleach blonde. I guess that's purple, though. Okay, here's the headline.

Dude, that's genius, though, because we're still talking about Alexi Lawless, the crazy-haired guy. And he wasn't half the player she was, right? That's been his headline after the game. It says, Purple-haired lesbian goddess flattens France like a crepe. Ooh, got him.

Got him. She didn't really. France looked real good at the end. She scored two goals, though. Yeah, but had that game gone to... Had France scored again, that game gone to extra time, I think France was taking it.

They looked good. So where are we now? When's this thing going to be over? Saturday. Who do we play? Saturday's the Women's World Cup final, I think. We're not in the final yet. There's a game tomorrow? England? I think we thing going to be over? Saturday. Who do we play? Saturday's the Women's World Cup final, I think. We're not in the final yet. Is the game tomorrow?

England? I think we're going to play England. I forget. I don't even know. It is England. I mean... We're going to flatten them like a... I've had a lot of trouble getting into...

Like a meat pie. I've had a lot of trouble getting into this Women's World Cup stuff. I've watched a few games, but... I just looked it up. I've had a lot of trouble getting into this Women's World Cup stuff. I've watched a few games, but... I just looked it up. Alexi Lalas, ranked by Fox Sports,

who is his employer, he's ranked the number 23 player in U.S. men's national team history. Okay. Sure. Who's the greatest women's player of all time? it rapinoe because i've always said alex morgan because she's the most attractive no it's not at all she's actually really good for she's she's also smoking hot but she's good yeah i know she's good i'm a big mia ham guy yeah mia ham's probably the best i'd say who's the best men's player of all time? It's got to be Freddie Adu.

For the U.S. men's national team? Yeah. Yeah, I mean, Freddie Adu, right? No. I don't really know if you're joking. I don't really know. To be fair, I don't really watch a lot of U.S. men's national team. Is it Landon Donovan? I would say Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey.

Dude, didn't Landon Donovan turn out to be kind of a boner? Yeah. Didn't we have a badass goalie recently? Tim Howard. Yeah, that guy. But he was consistently really good for us, but at the same time, he really made his nut in that Netherlands game where he just saved everything.

Oh, yeah, he's a man possessed. People are going to remember him as being incredible just because of that. Wait, who's the dude from Stephen of Austin? The Knack. There's a dude from Texas from Nacogdoches that's really good. You might have just named him.

Clint Dempsey? It's Clint Dempsey. Yeah, he did a rap video. Yeah, it's him. Clint Dempsey has the most swagger of any U.S. Men's National Team player ever.

Love that. He also played for Fulham in the Premier League, which I'm a big fan of. They've got a tight stadium. How'd he do? Good. He was one of their best players

for a good amount of time. So funny, man. People don't think we have players over here. Come on. We got shooters everywhere. Yeah. What else? Actually, yeah.

If you guys start getting into soccer, you should. I mean, Fulham stinks. And I think that they got relegated last season. But they've got a good history with the U.S. players. I'm not going to get into a team that's been relegated. Yeah, you are. Come on. That's the time to get in.

That's when you get in. By low. That's when you get in. Okay. What's the name of the team? Fulham. Fulham? They play Craven Cottage.

Craven Cottage. Should Sally and I go to London over Christmas, which we're thinking about, I think that's one place I really, really have to go to. Okay. It's going to be a lituation. Craven Cottage. Craven.

Be more Game of Thrones sounding. You can't. They didn't have colleges, though. Is it cottage or college? Cottage. Oh. Fucking fool. Doesn't college mean something else over there?

It's all new words to me, man. I'm sorry. You don't know what a cottage is? A cottage is tight. I know what a cottage is a cottage is tight i know what a cottage is yeah don't you have a little cottage in vale yeah do they have cottage i think they'd be called cabins there sure i feel like i feel like cottages and cabins i don't actually own property i feel like those are two i feel like that's like ranch versus like farm cottageage I think of more like old school European. A cottage is like in a forest, right? Cabins in the mountains.

You can have a cabin in the forest. I think of like a log cabin. That's usually in a mountainous region. Where was Abraham Lincoln born? He gets cold where cabins are. Not necessarily where a cottage is. Are you ready for the explanation of this up with it the difference between cabin and cottage is that cabin is a small living place that is made of only

wood whereas a cottage is a small living place that can be made of any other material wow that's crazy i swung and missed on that one it made me really happy when i nailed the answer for farm versus range yeah you did a good job. I was happy about that. Usually our Texas backers, they don't like what I say in general. And I had numerous people reach out and be like, yeah, you actually did a good job on that. Shouts.

So, yeah, in closing, my tweets perform better than Alexi Lalas and Fox sports. So I think we know who's in the right here. Damn. Also, if I clap back at somebody for like in support of the U S like, uh, that's not something I should feel guilty about Alexi.

He should feel like a dickhead for what he, for what he said. Yeah. Was he just trying to go out of his way to be objective and not look like a Homer? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, that iser? Yeah. Absolutely. That is...

Yeah. Because there's no reason for him to have that take based on the performance of the women's team. I don't know. He's trolls, man. Professional trolls. Yeah. I don't know much about him other than I do...

The few people I follow who do soccer takes. I feel like once a year they'll take a shot at Lawless. He's very smug. He's very smarmy. I don't like him. There, I said it. He's welcome on the podcast to talk this out, but yeah. Only in person, not via phone.

Go mono-y mono. He's got the zany wild bio for Twitter too. Like what he actually does than a quirky fact which is my least favorite thing in the world. It says soccer analyst, slurpee lover and proud ginger.

Slurpee lover. Cool dude. I haven't had a Slurpee In a minute Too much sugar Dave Back in the day though Yeah there's a lot of sugar But I can get one Slurpee

Off a year What's the one day a year That 7-Eleven Will allow you to bring in 7-Eleven I think it's 7-Eleven Isn't it 7-Eleven There's

No I said What's the one day of year Like that is the day July 11th maybe Oh is it Maybe I think It would make sense It would make sense In the middle of the summer you can bring in any kind of uh container you want and fill it with slurpee for like a buck or whatever uh true story i

actually brought in my uh coffin size yeti cooler and filled it you just clean them right out you just cleaned them out they just cleaned them out man they were pissed but it was like rules are rules yeah people don't write a check with your butt that your mouth can't cash but then again like i was saying it's just it's all that sugar you know i just don't need all that sugar yeah i had to have my stomach pumped yeah wow i had a lot to drink that day yeah i was remember that i was out for a couple weeks because you had too much slurpy yeah y'all did y'all had like mica filling for me or something i didn't know that's what happened yeahpee? Yeah. Y'all had like Mycophenol for me or something. I didn't know that's what happened.

Yeah, I think I told y'all I had like a stomach bug, but it was actually just a Slurpee bug. Yeah. It was a sugar overdose. It was a hell of a suicide in the Big Yeti. Oh, man. Yeah. Just all the flavors.

Oh, you can't suicide Slurpees. That's not the same. It's not. It's not good. It's not the same. It's definitely not good. Don't do it. No, good. It's not the same. It's definitely not good. Don't do it. No, I used to get really geeked out over the Coca-Cola Slurpee. It's the best. It was just pure.

Yeah. Yeah. Lil Nas X came out of the closet. He's gay. Hell yeah.

Dude, his legend just keeps building. What the hell, dude? I've missed all this. Really? He tweeted out a video, and I'll be honest, I didn't understand the video when he tweeted it. I was like, why is he tweeting this?

And then apparently, if you listen closely, yeah, it's a song on, the song was called closure but closure spelled with a seven instead of an l and it's about him being gay oh yeah he did he did quote tweet someone it's true i am a guy oh okay no that was they just misspelled that's funny it's true i am a guy i gotta hit him with that line someone uh that's a good tweet. Someone named Young Chiz said, so you cheated, when you cheated on your baby,

it was with a N-word. And Lil Nas quote tweeted that with LMFAOOO. That's pretty funny. Because, you know, that line, you would just assume it's with a female,

but no. What was the line again? Something about he cheated on his baby. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, good for him. It kind of makes me like him more for some reason. I don't really have an explanation as to why.

He did have a song called Panini. I don't think we discussed it here. We don't like it. In his coming out tweet which has 80,000 retweets at this point that's macro said some of y'all

already know some of y'all don't care some of y'all not going fuck with me no more sad that that's probably true yeah you know

it's unfortunate yeah but looks like this is being received quite well which is something you love to see

do you see he's going diamond for Old Town Road? Diamond means what? X amount of... I'm not sure. I think it has a different meaning now that they involve streams and stuff. Yeah. But he's going diamond,

and he's the first person to... I think if I might... There might be something else in here, but if I wasn't mistaken when I read it, he's the first person to do it with his song still at number one. Wow.

Which is insane. Usually it's an after the fact thing. So he's just fucking killing it. He's done over a billion streams. I was just thinking about how I could go without ever hearing that song again just because it's just

it's a lot in a short amount of time. Right. Not that I'm hating on the song or anything, but I don't really need to hear it anymore. But do you remember when TRL used to do that thing where they would retire a video forever?

They had to. It was just a bunch of people requesting like NSYNC and Backstreet Boys. According to Wikipedia, as music sales increased with the production of Compact Discs, this might be a little bit outdated, but I think 10 million is the number is what i'm gathering here so 10 million streams probably what that means what's platinum a million no it's more than it's you think 10

million doesn't mean streams it means purchases correct yes yeah so that doesn't that doesn't involve the streams i think he has sold 10 million singles, though, for it. Let me dig a little bit deeper here. Dig, dude. Dig deeper. Yeah, it just says Diamond means sales of more than 10 million units for a single title. And that's all it's really giving me.

So, sorry. That's good information, though. Thank you for providing that on the fly. So, basically, we still don't know. Yeah, it's hard to say. It's hard. Did you see his tweet about Ellie Goulding? He had some really good tweets that he got off.

He's good on Twitter, man. That's part of the reason that he's so popular. Yeah. It's because he knows how to promote his shit. He's gained a lot of followers too. I've been tracking it. He gains about 100,000 a week. That's more than us.

At Watch Media? Yeah. Damn. I'd like to do that. Those are straight numbies, Dave. I'd like to do those numbers for one week exactly. Do you think he lost any when he came out? Or do you think he was a net gain?

Probably a few dickheads unfollowed him. Yeah. I'd piss his Taylor Swift that now he's got the coming out anthem and hers is just getting cocked? What is hers? I'm unfamiliar with it. See, exactly. She came out?

No, she released a song about gay pride. Oh. Did he release a song about gay pride? The tweet that he did was a song that he wrote about coming out. Oh, I didn't know it was a song. Yeah. Yeah. that he did was a song that he wrote about coming out oh i didn't know it was a song yeah yeah but taylor swift did one it was called what was it called i don't know you need to calm down it was kind of pandering it was gay pride month no i know but i like i feel like i feel feel like people didn't really take her song and be like,

this is our anthem now. They're just like, oh, cool. She's got bigger fish to fry now. She's very upset about the guy who purchased her label and now owns all her songs. How is she always involved with some kind of drama? Do people come at her or is she seeking this drama out? Apparently she's been beefing with this guy for a while.

I don't know all the ins and outs. I tried to catch up on it. Then I realized there were so many players who I was unfamiliar with that it was just pointless. And it would have taken me two hours to really draw it all out on the whiteboard. I wish she would just drop heat and not get involved in all this stuff. Her music sucks now. Why does it suck now?

I don't think it sucks i think it does her new stuff i can't get on board hey do we start watching the australian bachelor the reputation album was good was it many people overlooked it maybe i didn't give it a fair chance i mean i think it probably went diamond or something i was gonna say i think i think people on twitter kind of panned it i remember people were like oh no one's talking about her anymore it's's like, oh, well, she's selling like 100 million albums. So I feel like she's doing okay. We do need to start watching The Australian Bachelor.

It looks electric from this one little clip I've seen. If there's a way to stream that for free, I'm 100% down. Have you seen this, Will? Yeah. I thought it was funny. It didn't, it didn't,

I didn't think it needed to go viral. I thought it had, it was worthy of a macro. Should we play it? Sure. Um, so this is the Australian bachelor and this is during like the opening, like what would,

what would be the American version of the limo scene? Yeah. Okay. She pulls up in like a mad max truck. Ready? Yeah. let's hear it hey guys i'm abby lovely to meet you what do you do uh i'm a astrophysicist okay i'm a leo all the boxes ticked can't believe it is he really an astrophysicist i guess why he'd make that up that's some shit i would make up i think he's the bachelor right yeah okay that's telling she clearly thought he meant astrologist yeah i mean yeah not a good look.

What? How many countries have this show? A lot. A lot. Really? Yes. Who's the Australian Chris Harrison? That's the question.

It's Liam Hemsworth. It's just Andrew Bogut? Yeah. There's like three Australians we know. Jason Day. I didn't know Boga was Australian. Yeah. Good for him.

I started watching, I told Dylan this, I started watching some of the most trash TV in my life. I wanted something I could turn on on Friday night as I fell asleep and I was on Hulu

and I just didn't feel like going far. So I turned on Love Island, which is essentially the British version of Bachelor in Paradise. Wait, didn't Klein get asked to go on that? Was that the one? Maybe not. This is British, so it would have go on that? Was that the one? Maybe not. This is British, so it would have to be a spinoff or something.

Even better. It's literally the worst show I've ever seen. But I've now watched five episodes of it, which is not something I'm proud of. Damn, so you're hooked. Yeah, I mean, it's such trash TV. It's so much more trash than the Bachelor franchise. But for some reason, it's more entertaining.

Well, I think I'm going to stop watching, though, because I looked to see how many episodes there were. There were like 37 episodes. You stumbled upon some Reddit spoilers? No, there's no spoilers. But like 37 episodes? That's too many episodes. They're an hour long, too.

If they could cut down The Bachelor into one hour, it would be a lot more consumable for people. I would be down with that. That's why I never understand how people watch it live. It sucks. When 7 o'clock rolls around, I take Randy to the park, and in my head I'm thinking, this is just more time you can fast forward through commercials.

There's more time starting at 7 with everybody. There are, what, like 40 minutes of commercials in a two-hour program? Something. No, not that many. There isn't? Yeah. Something like that. They burn like the first two minutes with the recap.

And then there's a lot that I do fast forward. They go overshot. It's not that many, but it's a lot. It's okay. Man. I don't think you're overshooting about that much, though. Yeah. 30-something, maybe.

Not to mention the ad placements they put in the show. Because when you think about it, a normal TV program is about 22 minutes, 23 minutes. And so that's seven half hour,

14, I guess a half hour is probably closer than 40. Yeah. Well, this has been a fun one, guys.

You got to take off. You know, I don't think you got intro today. I don't think you did you want to intro dad go ahead yeah dude shot major shots still in chivalry in the studio what's up man glad to be here uh it's gonna be a good episode i feel good about it uh i'm just you know i'm ready to go what are we getting into today how about that tiger man if you would have got

that dude i'm just i can't get past that video. He's on a motorcycle. He's probably going like 50 miles an hour. You know, that's my favorite big cat, Dave, is a tiger. They're just badass, man. People keep tagging us in that really swole-ass mountain lion photo. I don't know if that's real. I mean, that thing is an absolute specimen.

What the fuck? Yeah, how do you get that big? I feel like there's like a circle or like a, I don't even know what I'm looking for. But I feel like these things get recirculated, these big cat photos. Because I swear, some of this shit I've seen like three years ago. Yeah. And then people are just now rediscovering them. Have you seen the viral tweet of the little black kid? He's probably like two

and he's just absolutely yoked for some reason. He has these traps. Anyway, he's like weirdly muscular. Jacked little kids creep me out. And the caption is, homie just did three years in time out. That got me pretty good. Such a dad joke. Come on,'s good such a dad joke you know

because like you work out in prison it's like the two-year-old equivalent sure yeah it's part which part when's parks gonna get on that regimen i don't know man yeah those jockeys get jacked i feel like they are in good shape for some unknown reason they're cut dude i guess because they're tiny and they have no body have you ever tried maintaining a position like that for two minutes like on a horse maybe not on a horse i'll make i'll have you uh that's gross if you do a ski tuck like i'd be interested to see how long you could last how long are you supposed to last as long as you can it's hard it's hard to be in that crouch position so low though. Oh yeah, dude. Pledge ship. Oh, that was the worst.

Pledge ship was just one big ski talk apparently. Tune the TV. Stupid. Dude, I've got a feeling I'm going to give both of y'all a run for your money on the skis because I've been hitting that little ski machine at the gym. It's just arms, dude. I could do a little lower body too. Core. Crunching down. Maybe if you do it with just your arms like a dumb ass i've seen you i haven't seen you that's a tight

little machine i love that machine yeah i feel like i'm ready to hit the slopes let's go bitch i don't really want to do no have you have you skied no i've wondered about this like if we do if we did a ski thing I snowboarded how many times can you get around the mountain? here's the thing that's a no yeah it is a no and here's why

I've learned this because of skateboarding and other things anything that I was capable of doing and I could do in my teenage years if I took off my entire 20s and early 30s and tried to get back into it now, I can't just jump back into it. There's one exception and it's boat sports.

So like wake surfing, wakeboarding, I can get up on that with no problem. But skiing and snowboarding would probably be an issue. Because you know, you can't be tepid. You have to trust it. But skiing and snowboarding would probably be an issue. Okay. Because, you know, you can't be tepid. You have to trust it. Otherwise, you'll catch an edge or something on a board. I could see me catching a lot of edges.

You know me. I'm always edging. Big edge guy. Yeah. I don't think it's going to happen. In fact, I would just slow you all down. So I'll be the dude who... I don't fuck with people that slow me down on the slopes the slopes this guy i'll be the dude flying the drone me and hashtag chat i'll fly a drone video i just invited him yeah i guess in this weird competition that has no i don't know how

we judge it i don't know we get like it's just based on style, man. I know. It's like very subjective. It sounds very subjective. Oh, it is. It is. Who are y'all getting to judge? Get Alexi Lawless or something? Yeah, we'll get Alexi. Kobe Jones or what's his name? Dude, my buddy even told you.

He's like, that he thinks that there's no way that you'll... Oh, your friend is on your side. Big, big surprise there. State champion. Which buddy? Which busking state champion? Yeah, he is.

Yeah. The fact that I can hang with them. You champion. Which buddy? Which buddy? Skiing state champion. Yeah, he is. Yeah. The fact that I can hang with them. You think I can't? Whatever happens, a video needs to... We need playing with the boys from Top Gun as y'all are skiing

and just playfully talking shit. Oh. Look, I'm down. I'm down. I'm not running over here. Skiing. Skiing with the boys. It's the remix.

It's the remix. Okay. Let's get out of here. Yeah, it's time. See you next week. As always, go to washmedia.com slash shop. Get all the new merch, mugs, t-shirts, whatever you may need. Also, patreon.com slash tricklingbackpodcast.
