All right, we're back.
This here's the circling back podcast.
I don't know what you thought you were listening to, but that's what this is.
So if you made a mistake, you can leave now.
My name is David.
Welcome.
Producing is Randall Trumbacki.
Hi, Dave.
Hi.
How are you?
Oh, I'm really good, man.
I'm just leveraging AI to see how hot I am.
So yeah, things are going pretty good.
Oh, is that why you guys are such a sour mood?
this morning. I'm actually, the results
may surprise. KJ. Elise is in a good mood.
I'll tell you that much.
No one's getting everyone
pumped up this morning and everyone's
telling me to shut up.
It was just your tone.
We don't like your tone. You don't like my tone.
You know, am I? Dave, you ready this morning?
We were doing our breathing, our box breathing.
God, you'd be a terrible camper, man.
We're doing our, you ever do the box breathing?
Not like a Houston pool party, but like
something different.
Dylan Shivery.
Wow, do you set up your own joke, dude?
Dylan Shivery.
I'm feeling really good, all right?
There's that energy.
That could be because I took Blueprint this morning for the first time.
More on that on a later episode.
Or it could be-
The Rock is in the building.
Every now and then we have a slate of topics that just get me really excited.
Every now and then.
And today's one of those days.
To everyone who found us through Slate, welcome.
I'm really excited about today's topics.
And we got KJ here to chime in.
Hold on.
That's a surprise.
Oh,
he already said KJ.
Oh,
don't blame me.
KJ.
Ellis,
live from Wisconsin.
Hello.
Hey, man.
Thanks,
that's the energy we need in here.
Hi, KJ.
Oh,
what's happening,
fellas?
Happy to be here.
Thrilled to be here.
That was a masterful,
like,
toss off the backboard.
To collect your own dunk,
self-assist.
there earlier, David.
But yeah, fellas, I have to say, it's only been like a week or two since I've done a
podcast and never have I felt more like, how the hell do I do this than like five minutes
before joining this, like every single time.
Like, all right.
All right.
Now, how do I be funny?
And then I talk to Randy and I'm like, okay.
You know, you can be funnier than this guy.
then your confidence goes way up randy's like the ultimate fluffer it's wonderful yeah i was his
nickname in college i was not no that wasn't my nickname in college what was your nickname in college
uh cool dude that that definitely was not no one's name they say hey there comes cool i'm example
okay um well welcome i don't know uh what's that weather looking like i notice you're wearing a
short sleeve polo oh bad i ain't funny enough my
self-consciousness in that five minutes of doubt. I like shed my little
Lulu, uh, little jacket because we're, we're looking about 50 to 60s this week.
It's storm season up here, bro. Yeah. I'm not getting hit as hard as like, uh, true blue
tornado alley. But, uh, we're continuing our streak of like one alert day a week. And I'm,
me for one, I'm not here for it. Yeah, I, I fully expected to see you jack it on.
I'm jacking off this morning
yesterday after school
Parks was supposed to call me
because sometimes he goes to the playground
and somebody needs to be picked up right away
he called me from his Apple Watch
he's at the playground
y'all need to stop and he goes
Are he sword on?
He goes, dad, you got to come pick me up
it's too hot out here, bray
it's too hot out here bray
all right man I'll be there in five
this morning was the
I believe the warmest
April morning on record for Austin or close to it.
Seriously?
Yeah.
Morning.
The warmest April morning.
Don't like how that's trending.
Like 76 degrees.
Nothing like getting up.
Dewpoint high.
Where are you going, big dog?
Oh, we lost Randy.
Oh, no.
Don't get lost and never come back.
KJ, you need to be on the Randy method where he has like,
if you ever get like the prepod jitters, just look down at your very, very specific checklist.
I appreciate Randy's commitment to, like, adding some structure into his day.
I think I told him about that.
I think back to looking at a room filled with him, T-Man and Adam,
in early lodge days.
And Randy being like, all right, you knuckleheads, like just sitting there going full boiler room, like boss mode.
And I'm like, man, this guy's really grown a little bit.
Yeah.
Settle down into his ways.
He runs a tight ship.
brosive or not brosive i get here with the bro and broskey sometimes from kai who's uh broskis 6 in
in july we had a brosky uh brosky a brosky phase for sure for sure brosky are you for real
is too hot i hear it's it's bedtime but if i hear brett it might be a step too far
i heard uh i heard parks walked in on you watching some netflix thing and asked you why you were
watching more unc slop we got to do we got to mix an unks
slap here and there.
Dude, you're the king.
KJ, did you hear the UFO videos are just unkslaw?
No, but I love it.
Yeah, it's good.
I love it.
It's good.
I've gotten hit with, uh, hey, Joe Biden is what Kyle will say to me.
And I'm like, I haven't searched it.
I haven't seen it in context.
I haven't seen it used elsewhere.
I don't know that one.
I don't even know what he could be referring to.
But that's what he tries to call me.
Is, is that not like the Joe, Joe Byron from the, you know,
Bing bong that episode
It might be
But I don't think my 5 and a half year old knows what you're referring to
Or his stupid friends
And so they probably butcher it
And he's just adapted for some reason to say Joe Biden
Who he also doesn't know
I don't know
What an all time video that was
Didn't Joe have a funny moment
Sleepy Joe like recently?
What did he do?
The Cowboys facility?
No, that was another ex-president
I'd love to see Joe, I'd love to see Joe and Jerry mix it up
Oh, God
Oh man
Oh, I know what it was he brought did he didn't bring up a kid to say he looked like Obama
And he made him walk up to the top of this like the front of the stage
It wasn't a kid, it was a grown man
The grown man, it was like, oh yeah dude
He was like yeah dude to be fair he looked a lot like Obama
It wasn't just like dementia Joe chiming in like
It's just a weird move to like that.
You know what?
This is crazy.
You got to come up.
Dude,
come up here.
Look at this.
Turns out it was just like secret service double who'd like served for Obama for years.
And he's like,
Joe,
I rode in the car with you here.
You see me every day.
Oh, man.
Well,
welcome KJ.
And welcome to everyone who has,
uh,
found us through other mediums.
Uh,
guess what?
Where?
Where KJ?
I'm sorry.
Oh,
I'm sorry.
I joined you guys from Jezebel.
I'm really happy to be here.
Okay.
Yeah.
Is Jezboe's still around?
I don't think so.
I hope so.
I think they went under with Gawker.
I mean, it was a Gawker brand.
Okay.
Hulk Hogan.
Duttspin, I mean, Detspin's not around, right?
Despen's around.
Is it really?
They're back.
Yeah, they're back.
Never mind.
They'll get dunked on like a couple times a year.
And you just feel bad for the people over there writing
because it's like they're just trying to make a buck.
It's hard.
Yeah.
Blogging.
And then people are like, oh, old Dudspin would
Never do this.
They were a force for a while.
They were.
Then they got Peter Tealed.
Anyway, we have a Patreon.
Yes, we do.
And when a wonderful episode today.
I'm still getting submission.
So it's going to be like, it could be a long episode.
Could it be a run-it-back situation if we have enough to do two?
I'm just saying, I have high expectations for today.
I've had a few that are like very fun.
It is dating.
Some that are, like, insane and some that are, it's dating out.
So it's just stories from dating app, good and bad. Some of them are like very cute. Like,
oh, that ended very cute. And some of them were like, dude, I cannot believe people are like this.
It's bleak out there, some might say. But check it out. That's only on Patreon. Go subscribe,
support the show. And check us out on Spotify. Specifically, you can watch us on Spotify.
How about that? Comments from yesterday, Electric. The comments in Spotify have been really good.
We've been enjoying them.
The Spotify commenter is better than the YouTube commenter at this point.
That's true.
Not the chat, but just the commenter.
The chat's great, but maybe that's a shot at you guys on YouTube.
Maybe you need to be commenting more.
Spotify is eating your lunch.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Like a pool party.
Okay.
Do point what it is.
It is a limited amount of time this year to eat my lunch, but go right ahead.
Do point.
It's no longer ass the rural eating seasons,
is what I'm announcing here.
Once that D-Point hits a certain level,
humidity's too high for playing around those games.
Hey, if you work for Vizzy,
we'd welcome you back.
We enjoy your product.
We really do.
I miss talking about it.
Other items with Acarola eating season.
I wonder if that's why they didn't renew.
Like,
you got a good bit.
Where should we cut the budget?
Oh,
how about the guys who keep talking about
aceroli eat in season?
It was a good bit.
It was a good bit.
It was a good product.
Like,
that was like legitimately,
my favorite, I don't drink a lot of hard celtars, but that was one I really enjoyed.
It was legitimately good, yeah.
They had the best flavors.
Best flavors says Randy.
Yeah.
And I'm a connoisseur.
He's a connoisseur of a fruity alcoholic drinks.
That's true.
That's true.
That's true.
I'm a connoisseur of great clothing.
That's why this show is brought to you by Fair Harbor.
Oh, yes.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
You think it's just swim trunks?
Yeah, it's a lot of comfortable and awesome swim trucks, but it's more than that.
They have a lined athletic shorts.
that I worked out in this morning.
How about that?
I worked out in mine, too.
Mine are a little navy blue ones.
We wore the same ones today, dude.
For real?
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Holy shit.
What did you hit today?
Our cycles are synced up, I think.
Okay.
I did chess and core today.
Nice.
Today was a big lunge day for me, and I did it in my Fair Harbor, the aforementioned Fair Harbor.
And then, you know what I did?
No.
I went home and I looked at my closet and said,
Man, I got a nice linen shirt part of their spring collection that I'm going to wear this week.
That's facts.
I love Fair Harbor.

We had to have the official spokesperson
for the Texas Tech University on today.
That's why KJ is here.
Of course, famously tore his hamstring
as a Texas Tech Red Raider.
He's out there patrolling the...
Just roaming that backfield.
Roaming it. Just rolling it. KJ.
I wouldn't say like my personal careers a lot to highlight about it, but I was, I wouldn't say the year that I was at Texas Tech.
Like, it was just the wildest confluence of names that are still relevant in football.
Sonny Dykes was on staff, Dana Holgerson, Danny Mandola was there.
Lincoln Riley.
I don't know. Lincoln Riley was there notably.
What did he say to you? Was he nice to you?
He was the offensive GA at the time.
So he was my position coach as a scout team player.
And he accurately described me as a female reproductive part that I won't say here on this program because I'm a professional.
Is this because you showed up eating nachos?
No.
It was because I was one cheeking in a drill.
And he just said, stop acting like a pussy and finish the drill.
You said it.
Okay, man.
Well, I was trying to quote him accurately.
So it was like my ex-wife.
Anyways.
I'm sorry.
We're not here to talk about me.
We're here to talk about the $5 million man, Brandon Sorsby, quarterback.
Brendan?
Brendan.
Brandon.
Brandon.
I think is Brendan.
Brendan.
Brendan.
B.
Sorsby.
That's the name of a guy who gambles on football, by the way.
Brendan Sorsby.
Like, you know that motherfucker's just gamble.
He also has the look of a Texas Tech quarterback.
Does he not?
Okay.
He does, but the guy who I think, so Will Hammond, he looks, he's got, he is,
everything that I think of when I think of like old Texas Tech quarterbacks just like a blonde
like just kind of gamer-esque yeah and his name's will Hammond for some reason that's
Texas Techie to me don't ask me why it's like he might like should still be in high school but
you know like he looks young yeah anyway Brendan Sorsby is in some hot water
yes the five million dollar transfer portal over from Cincinnati who I believe when six and
six last year
Cincinnati, not great.
He's good, though.
He's good.
He's got some talent for sure.
Highly coveted in the portal.
Absolutely.
It was like Sam Levitt, Sorsby, were like the two guys.
Lagway, of course, now a Baylor Bear.
People just clamor for.
Rayola was another one.
Went over to Oregon.
I was going to make an asserola.
It's stupid.
Yeah.
It was forced.
I shouldn't even brought it up.
Go ahead.
Yeah.
Well, the people who know what they're talking about talk.
It was announced yesterday that Brendan Sorsby has
checked into a gambling rehab facility.
He's got a bit of a gambling problem.
Only made worse by the fact that he gambled on college football while a college football
player.
Not only that, but his own team.
He was at Indiana in 2022 as a true freshman, I believe, true freshman or registered freshman,
one of the two.
And gambled for his team to cover the spread.
Indiana, that is.
Pete Rose.
According to some very quick research I did, this comes to us from team rankings.com.
Indiana was four and eight against the spread.
What website?
Team.
Team rankings.
Go ahead.
Team rankings.com.
Okay.
They went four and eight against a spread in 2022, which I believe was also the record in
2022, maybe five and seven.
I don't know.
What are you trying to say?
I just he he hitched his wagon to the wrong horse maybe I don't know
should have faded the boys if he was trying to make some money that would have been a
worse look if you faded the boys under percent yes has anybody found his Venmo I'm
sure people have looked I don't know um so the fact that he's in treatment does that
that makes this all go away right it doesn't look like it you know there is precedent here
Iowa State, there was a gambling story.
Iowa State football in 2023, I believe.
And a quarterback for Iowa State was given a permanent ban for betting on college football.
So there's precedent here.
It is like NCAA rule.
If you bet on college football as a college football player, you're done.
That's probably the right thing.
It doesn't look good.
Okay.
I got a hot take.
You're ready for this?
Hot take.
If you're betting for your team to win,
I don't think,
I don't give a shit.
If you're betting against your team,
then yeah,
of course,
if you have an influence of the game,
but if you're betting on your team to win,
get on you.
Yeah,
but you're also,
like,
thinking of it in a world
in which,
like,
this player then doesn't have the ability
to contact somebody on the other team,
that's in a position to affect the outcome,
be like,
hey,
bookies, whoever laying 250K on us to win or on us to cover.
All I'm doing is I'm calling the punter, who's not getting any NIL money,
who's the holder on field goals or whatever to do the slightest of hand movement to shank a
fucking field goal to secure that this, you know, to secure the cover, we're already winning,
whatever it might be.
So like you can influence it beyond just your own play, even if you're betting on your team to win.
Let's see that.
What if you're a, what if you're like a special operator and you've been tasked with
removing from power, the Venezuelan president, and you lay a little, little coin on
the boys to get it done?
I don't have a problem.
I don't have much of a problem with that one.
Yes, I'm on your own team.
Yeah, so you're betting on the, this was, okay, that would be tough if you bet against it
and you're on the mission and you're just like, you go.
Yeah.
You go in there, you fire off some warning shots like, oh, crap, this thing's discharging.
I get your point, KJ.
You're talking about Maduro backdoor covered?
So there's somebody hiding in the closet.
A backdoor Maduro cover.
So this, his gambling, his gambling began in 2022.
And I don't even, was this even NIL era or like the beginning of it?
Either way, he was, he was not a big name.
He wasn't bringing in NIL money at that point.
So these were probably fairly small wagers on his team at that point.
Apparently, he's addicted to gambling.
So this has been going on since then.
I assume his wagers have gone up since then.
Not trying to make light of gambling addiction,
clearly as I'm the guy who reads the disclaimer.
Called the Hopeline.
Or 1-800, my reset.
But, big butt there.
I'm just curious how you treat that,
like any other addiction.
But I'm just wondering because it's,
if you treat it like,
there's all these alternative treatments where it's like, you know, if you're addicted to substances
or something, you can go like do Ibogaine's the new one, right? I wonder like what all you can do
to treat a gambling. Or do you just refocus that that like need for action elsewhere? I don't know.
This is the problem because to a normal person like us, a lot of people I know that have
overcome addiction of whatever, they get really into, let's say, working out. Yeah. Or something.
this guy's an elite quarterback.
Yeah, you can't.
I'm just wondering like where are you.
Yeah.
And I, I really am curious.
I don't,
I don't have a lot of experience with that.
So I agree.
I think what you're looking for is like how do they treat the impulse if,
but I doubt that the gambling is related to the trigger of being around football.
I doubt.
I don't know,
but I doubt.
The timing of this,
you brought up Iowa State.
I think that's phenomenal.
Notably.
That story sat at like the bottom of the too much dip rundown for like months.
I was so like, hey, I'm going to go read up on this Iowa, Iowa State story because there was a quarterback and were like 20 other players on both teams.
And what they got tied into was these were daily fantasy sports bets.
And then when you see it written out like play 678 bets or wagers over a certain period of time, I think when they write it, even if they write those daily fantasy sports to people who don't understand, you think.
You're making a call.
You're reading a newspaper and you're picking, you're making a pick.
That's one.
Or you're going to a counter.
You're making a pick.
And that's one like action.
When in all reality, you could load up like 12 bets in daily fantasy sports app very quickly.
And in 2022, it's like when all that mobile stuff probably took off.
DFS.
Started to bubble.
I mean, it's probably earlier than that.
But I feel like that's when we started to see the stories.
So I'm not saying that.
to excuse this away because again he knows there's the red line of do that for women's water polo
and you're fine go find japanese professional football like real human beings yeah play the games at 2 a.m
and bet on that but just stay away from NCAA like he knows he knows the rule i mean that's like
you sit these guys down like freshman orientation it's like you can't do this it is very much
against the rules the consequences are extreme don't do it bet on baseball
man, bet on basketball.
Just stay away.
I just don't understand why.
That's like real addiction, man.
It has to be.
Word got out that he was going to Cincinnati Reds games and betting like balls and
strikes on like every single pitch, like $2 here and there just just to like really,
just to feel something.
Oh yeah.
That's that's that's a super addiction.
He's like he's seems like he's actually has a problem.
Yeah, this is tough.
Man, he must be really kicking himself like, hey, if that was around like nowadays like
Kalsi was around when he's, you know.
know, 2022 and he was at the heyday of just betting wild, like,
you got to think that he's already up on some of these, like,
futures bets.
What you hit on that hair dryer bet?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Airport hair dryer.
Oh, yeah.
That was insane.
I was going to say, what, what's more, like, what's worse,
betting just balls and strikes on, like, a Wednesday or, like,
betting, like, the straight of Hormoos, like, like, hey, how many, uh, how many you're getting
through today?
Like, if you're betting world of things, I don't know.
I don't know.
What do we think happens to?
Two is, okay, hypothetically speaking, he gets banned.
Like, he's suspended for the whole rest of his, you know, this is last year anyway.
Safe to assume, yeah.
Do we, the NIL money is, is Texas Tech getting that five mil back?
By the way, this also.
Like this didn't just save it all?
You don't think he's just sitting on it?
This also coincides with Cincinnati trying to get back the million dollars for breach of contract
for leaving early to go to tech.
So he could be, financially, he was flush.
you know, two days ago. Now it's like,
dude, this dude might be really hurting.
Claude,
Claude tells me,
I've leveraged Claude again.
He's facing a combined $6 million of potential legal liability
per the aforementioned.
Yeah.
I think they're just adding the five and the one,
but none of us know the payout terms of those,
of the five million one.
Like,
I don't know if it's all front loaded,
guaranteed. Like,
I doubt that that's how that works.
Or if it's like game checked.
He needs,
installments, whatever.
Yeah.
I'm guessing he's like, at this point,
he has to just go all in on rehab so he can just try to play at the next level.
I'm pretty sure he knows he's not playing college football again.
I would assume that.
And I think here's the thing that would be like the immediate action.
I agree.
Rehab is the best true solution and PR force field.
I don't know what this means for Texas Tech.
they've got the number one transfer portal roster in the history of ever they'll be okay right right sure
whatever i don't know you seen that schedule i honestly don't know pretty light is so soft pretty light little
schedule what did they know what did they know um but with with swords me though honestly i think
that there's a conversation to be had of okay great we saw that uh we'll get to in second
fable got out of his rehab and you know 47 hours or whatever let's say
sources he spends a week, you know, on the reservation, just drying out.
That's the wrong place to be for gambling, actually.
Wherever he might be.
Don't go to Choctaw.
There are those like supplemental drafts that happen for ineligible players in the summer.
There's like four players some years.
Sometimes there's two.
There's potential that he could probably navigate his way to a roster.
I don't know the ends and outs of that or the timeline.
But if it's not, hey, I'm going to work out for a year.
be rested and be healthy for next year's draft and eligible,
I wouldn't be shocked if there aren't like conversations happening like,
well,
could he be signed to a team?
You know,
is this a possibility?
I'd be all in on that if I'm him because then you get money
and then you get the hell out of this story too.
Man,
the old tech would have just like found some kid from like a frat intermurals or something.
Like Leach would have pulled some dude.
Yeah.
And made it work.
Now they're pretty,
they really don't have a lot of room here.
Let's talk about what tech does.
Okay, let's, again, hypothetically speaking,
Sorsby is out for the season.
They have Will Hammond on their roster,
who started a handful of games last season when Morton was out and was kind of okay.
ACL.
Towards ACL.
So he's recovering from an ACL.
He may or may not be ready for, you know, game one in the fall.
We don't know.
They brought in a transfer from Tulsa.
His last name is Francis, I think.
I forgot his first name.
Not great numbers.
I don't think they were expecting him to get much playing time at all.
Are you aware of the out-of-window transfer punishment scenario, KJ?
Yes, because locally it is a hot topic.
Yeah, okay.
This discussion was triggered two off-season ago, maybe last all-season.
A Wisconsin player, University of Wisconsin player, wanted to transfer after the portal closed.
Wisconsin was like, no, bra.
NCA says no, we say no.
It says like, all right, cool.
I'm going to withdraw from school.
Here's all your money or whatever.
You'll have a good time.
And then when school opens back up, I'm going to enroll at Miami.
And he went to Miami and was on the roster.
I don't think it was a big contributor or anything.
But he was at the, I don't know that he was under a current NIL deal at the time
because this was like in that December window.
they declined to let him transfer there's something weird about and he just withdrew because of that
they wanted to say like hey well what's to stop these players from just doing that they enacted these
like out-of-window transfer penalties and they wanted to narrow down when people could start moving so
so the penalties another school's an option the penalty is extreme so they could like
people are throwing out the like dylan raola who transferred from Nebraska to Oregon and he's
obviously the number two at Oregon because they have Dante Moore there.
All right, if they were to go get Dylan Rayola, this is just as an example.
The penalty is that McGuire, the head coach would have to, he suspended for 50% of their games.
So that's a six game suspension.
Also, they have to pay 20% of the total, they get fined 20% of the total revenue on the season.
That is such a stiff penalty.
Is it worth exploring this option, though, if your tech?
Because you're set up, you mean, you have a team that's set up to make a run.
They're going to cruise to the Big 12.
Like the schedule is really soft, right?
Is this even worth a discussion if your Texas tech?
No.
No, I think that there are probably other players available that we're not aware of.
You still have opportunities for grad transfers at this point.
Who aren't going to be good?
I don't think this is going to be like a notable name that we're,
like chasing like a Dylan Reuola situation.
I don't see that happen. There's no reason
Oregon would want that to happen. Like they would
see Texas Tech as like
direct competition at this level
basically.
But you look at like TCU's
starting quarterback this year is going to be the guy
a guy who transferred in from Harvard.
Like that's not a name I would expect, but
TCU's like high on them. There's a lot
of buzz around them, whatever.
And I'm only saying that to say like that's a
big 12 program who's going into the season
knowing that our guy was the quarterback at
Harvard. So I don't think that you're finding somebody who's number two already on a big roster.
It's going to be somebody from a different tier, you know, D1A star or something like that, who we don't know.
Yeah, you have guys that entered the portal in the window who are just sitting there waiting for a team to give them a call.
Correct, who haven't signed. Correct. Yeah. So unsigned portal players or I think you go and look at like Cam Ward was at the D1A level or whatever they call it now.
incarnate word before Washington State.
Then what was the guy, Trinidad Chambleau was also the lower level, I think, right?
Yeah.
So, like, I think you're going to be looking for whoever that guy is and maybe taking that route.
But I don't think it screws their season.
I think, as we pointed out, their schedules are going to be favorable.
They've got a lot of talent.
But I don't, it's definitely going to, you know, we're not talking about.
Heismans and Natty's anymore.
Comes to playoff time.
You look at like a two law,
like if they mess around and lose like two,
two or three games with that quarterback
that no one, you know,
people are going to be like, oh,
yeah, we looked at your schedule
plus the fact that you like you're here
with that guy that you just pulled off of a random,
I don't know,
grad transfer,
yeah,
you're not getting in.
Because, I mean,
I don't even know what's their,
what's their non-conference?
It's not good.
It's the whole thing's week.
It's not good.
It's weak.
It's not their fault.
The conference is low,
but their non-conference is terrible.
There's is, Indiana's is,
and there's like two others that are, like,
relatively high, but have terrible schedules.
But to say the inverse, if I'm a tech fan,
like, let's say they win 10 games with whoever it is,
whether it's Will Hammond gets healthy or whoever it is,
the story is going to be so hot that they persevered through this.
Like, the PR is going to be just as strong in their favor,
if they're still 10 or 11.
By that point in time,
nobody's thinking about right now.
Like think about Jake Wright's left from BYU.
Got kicked out of BYU.
Going into the season was like a top three quarterback.
If you was returning at BYU,
clap some cheeks and then like ended up at Tulane last minute.
So maybe that's your approach.
Go honeypot some kid from BYU,
get him kicked out and there you have it.
Honey pot.
What I'm saying is like,
I don't know what the fuck I'm saying to be honest,
but no, what I'm saying is,
is uh we'll say is that like shit's gonna change the store by the end of the season none of us
were thinking about jake rights left not being at b yu when b yu is playing texas they were happy
about bear can't think of it's lasting number 47 their quarterback yeah all those yards he puts up
i'm sorry on the ground the 72 rushing uh passing yards and 98 rushing yards uh hey i have an error
that we regret uh we two uh two is on the falcons
Okay. I forgot about that.
Completely forgot about that.
So is Quinn the guy?
It's Malik.
At the moment, is he going to be QB1?
But yeah, I forgot that he is now on the Falcons roster, which actually kind of makes sense.
So anyway, all right, well, I don't really have, we'll continue to monitor if y'all are okay with it.
Can we want to track that?
Yeah, it's a great story.
Of course, if like either way this story goes, it's going to be interesting to see what happens to him, at least for a little.
bit.
But if he comes back, I think that that just adds a bigger target on Texas Tech's back.
We're like, hey, how the fuck does this get approved?
Like, NC is a joke?
Yeah, what is, what is Cody Campbell's?
I almost, every time I say his name, I almost say Cody Canada, by the way.
100% that's what I was hearing whenever I'm saying it.
Yeah, but what's, how much is he involved in?
Because, I mean, he's, isn't he like involved in like a commit, like some kind of,
congressional hearings on college sports.
I don't know.
Maybe that's not it.
But there's something.
Turns out the guy,
he's the billionaire oil guy is very well connected.
He's back channeling somewhere,
trying to get something going in their favor already.
We're going to get a true social tweet here pretty quick about Sorsby,
like in the next week.
Can I bet on that on Kalshi?
I am a Kalshi partner, these people know.
Gambling culture, I mean,
gambling culture is out of control.
You can, like we talked about with the old Kalshi's stuff.
you can you can gamble on anything it's like this this kid's a product of like what everything i mean
every media you consume like is promoting gambling including us like everyone's doing it's i don't know
it's just the punishment of this doesn't fit like the culture that we're building around it yeah
in a way right yeah i mean and this is going to continue to happen yeah it's just call it dude call it
College dudes love to gamble on ball.
Yeah.
That's,
you can gamble on,
you can gamble on like which schools these transfers eventually sign with.
Like that is so easily like manipulative,
sure.
Manipulative.
Anyway,
you can easily manipulate that and be like,
hey,
I'm going to Texas Tech if you want to get,
you know,
your beaks wet on this and give me a little kickback.
Like,
it's so easy to do.
It would be like if,
I don't know,
like a commander in chief,
like was about to announce like something,
saying a little something out there about like maybe a pending geopolitical conflict.
And then like an account on the aforementioned Kalshi was created and dropped like 100K
on whatever was about to happen.
Yeah.
It would be like that if something like that were to happen.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You got to think, I mean, we've caught a few of these here and there, but how many of them
are going on that just to stay under the radar?
I mean, it's got to be.
A busted roads.
I busted a roge.
He was gambling on some stuff.
Was he?
Yeah.
A roll block or something.
There's a tee ball.
Oh, really?
He's betting on his own team, though.
That's good.
He said,
not.
Okay.
I think that's fine.
I think it's fine.
Peter Lofloor did it on his dodgeball team when they were the underdogs.
And guess what?
He bought Global Gym.
You can't have the...
David, what were you saying?
I don't know.
I fucked it up.
And then I...
No, you didn't.
It's fine.
I just...
Not for today, but...
I don't know if I want a pod anymore.
future yeah
I know I find that
future discussion
I think
this pairs well with
a nice cap
but also
stories about players
who are like buying real estate
or houses that are like
well beyond their size and life
because somebody in wake
I don't know what player
was like posting about a big ass house
he bought and like the picture and caption
was put out there like this is what
and I know money is going towards this is what they're doing
I'm like wait what wait there was a bailer
was lag away i think it was no no no it wasn't lag it was a baler basketball player and it was fake yeah it was
okay good i'm glad it was like and like and like i was like that's like a madge people were real mad about
it like a four million dollar house in waco yeah like he's probably exists he's probably living with like
a couple of the boys yeah it was a neighborhood in waco's what you're talking yeah yeah i was like
where is that where did chip that's got to be 100% that was chip and jillana chip was just folded up as a
Yeti.
He hadn't transformed into his human self here.
I did see him on the front porch with refreshments for the Amazon driver.
My bad.
Man,
I don't know.
Catch me.
What, Randy?
I didn't know what was happening with the hairdryer situation.
Do you guys not talk about someone in the chat explained it?
That's hilarious.
Yeah, it's pretty great.
There was a, yeah, like a weather sensor that he was just blow drying to like make it,
the temperature read warmer than it was supposed to be.
And he was, he made like 30 something thousand dollars on.
on him. So, yeah, embarrassing hand-up moment. I read it, but I read the story really quickly on my phone, and it said blow drying. I read it as something else. So when I tried it, I was doing something else to the sensor and didn't. Yeah, for the folks at home. I love FitBod. Okay. I was just going to explain it more, but whatever. Here's the deal with FitBod. You want to look like this guy? FitBod. What is that exactly? It's an app, and it's a workout app, and you say, I got a, look.
Let's just say I got like a 20-pound bag of cement or I got like a two,
two 20-pound dumbbells in my garage.
I need a workout.
I'm trying to shred, trying to gain a little muscle, ride me up something.
And it does.
It'll tailor your workouts, like Dave said, for exactly what equipment you have available
to you.
Maybe you've got a full gym to work with or maybe you got bands.
Maybe you're in a little motel, you know, workout center there.
You've got to have much going on.
It'll tailor your workouts for what you have available to you and for your desired results.
It's fantastic.
Maybe you're trying to look good for a pool party in Houston.
Whatever it is, they can help you out.
FitBod creates a personalized workout routine based on your goals, fitness level,
and available equipment.
And here's the thing, Dylan, these workouts adapt to your growth.
So each workout is challenging enough to push you to make progress.
True story, I use FitBot every time I go back to my parents because my dad legit has
two 20-pound dumbbells and some bands.
Yeah.
I just like, all right, let's mix it up.

Fun? What's up with the chat?
No, they're just talking about that story. I had no clue what that story was.
I fully support people gaming the system like that person did.
So for the people that don't know at home, it's some dude in France who bet on the weather with Kalshi
broke the system by taking a hair dryer to a sensor that controlled the weather readings
for the entire region. Yes. So that's the story. Pretty great.
The video of him doing it is so great because he immediately like pops his phone up to check.
That's great. Anyways.
The weather sensor shouldn't be accessible or accessible.
I don't think it was.
He like broke into a gate.
It was gated.
It was near an airport.
It was supposed to be secure.
He got back there.
Anyway, on the latest edition of, were you trying to get caught?
Diana Rossini had a playlist that a public playlist on Spotify that she shared with one other person.
This person's name is Mike.
And the playlist.
Mike.
Mike.
The playlist is called
Turn in the page in all caps.
And apparently this was right after
a Titans losing streak
that she created this playlist
and shared it with Mike.
Don't know who that could be.
And I don't know if you guys wanted to go through
these songs real quick, but
this is Diana Faves.
This is Diana Faves.
Actually, no, this is turning the page.
So it's just loaded with Seeger.
Gotta be.
missed opportunity.
That's what I was looking for immediately.
She zigs when you zag.
Pull up the songs, Randy.
Go to the next.
There you go.
Can you zoom on that bad boy?
How you know, I can't.
Okay, he can't.
I can read some of them.
It's okay.
The text's not there.
All right.
Starts off strong, a little Beyonce.
Two Beyonce Johns in the first three songs.
Hey, no, no pushback from me.
Is that both off Cowboy Carter, I'm assuming?
If you say,
Hey, how about we zoom in just to one letter?
And we'll do this a letter at a time.
Thank you.
If you send me a playlist with Sam on it,
I'm immediately just going to exit out of whatever you sent me.
Now, if it's got his brother Mike on it, that's different.
If it's a mic,
if it's a mic on John, yeah, that's totally different.
Okay.
So as I read through this, we got Cuffet by Beyonce,
big energy by Lotto,
break my soul, Beyonce.
Go back to Pink.
I said that.
Raise your glass.
And then before that, really quick, David, I just wanted to see, like, my brain pivoted right at the My Love Line.
And then after that, I'm like, wait a minute.
Was this whole thing like a sex playlist?
Pump it louder.
I guess this is a sequel to Pump it by the Black Eye P's.
Pump it louder.
T.S.
I'm sure it's a really good song.
Black IP has never heard of it.
I'm sure it's a really good song.
Many people.
Ace down low.
Can't stop.
Got last resort on there from Popper.
This is Shirley Peppers.
The last third is where it really takes a turn.
And there's also a report that during practices, he likes to listen to a lot of these artists,
he being Mike Vrable.
And so stuff just lines up pretty incriminatingly.
Can I say like 11 through 15, this is what a college kid thinks a good 80s playlist is.
And it's just all chalk.
Welcome to the jungle
photograph, deaf leopard,
renegade sticks.
Look, I'm not saying these are bad songs.
They're not.
I'd say renegade's a great song.
One time I was living at home
with my billionaire hotel magnet father,
and he was like,
you can't take over the company
until you go back through
because you cheated your way through school
via me.
I was paying your teachers.
It's like, you've got to go back through school.
I was like, God, all right.
My life was just a big party.
And one time, like, it went awry, and I was living in this big tent in my backyard, his backyard, really.
I didn't pay anything.
And I had this moment where I was listening to sticks real loud and I walked out with an empty keg and I just kind of threw it and fell.
That sticks?
That's sticks?
I didn't know your dad was a billionaire.
What was the thing we learned on, do you know it?
That sticks was like something?
The river sticks is what you cross in the underworld in Greek mythology.
There you go.
You have a touch the water, you die.
Yeah, don't drink it.
Yeah, I pay a fee.
What's the fee?
I mean.
A coin or something.
The fee is if there's someone twerking off to the side, you have to swim up and.
That video is so much real estate.
Hey, I noticed she didn't have any, I noticed that playlist doesn't have any, like,
like piano songs with, like a guy who's, like, somehow stuck in the piano.
and a lady playing it.
No one knows that reference,
Dave.
Just the people in this room.
You're just referencing stuff
that's been in the group chat.
My 4 U-Tab has been bad lately.
It's not good.
Don't watch any torture viz.
So when did she send this?
Was it coinciding with like a...
December 19th, 20202.
And it's like a big loss period for the song after he just lost.
The heels of a losing streak for the Titans.
You got December...
So...
Yeah.
Four losses in a row.
she creates the song on Monday, December 19.
Was this his last season as a coach of the Titans?
Took a year off.
No,
it might have been one more year,
I think.
He did not deserve to be fired,
right?
Like,
people widely repanned them firing him.
I mean,
there were seven and three through week 11.
That's a strong start.
And then it just went south,
man.
Okay.
I'd have to see what injuries were.
Like Derek Henry might have been injured or something for the rest of the season.
I don't know.
I don't know.
So have we had any comments or,
statements from any of the family members of either side?
I don't believe so.
I don't think so.
I went and looked up to see what her.
I felt bad doing it,
but I went down and was like,
I got to see what her husband looks like.
Good looking dude.
Nothing wrong with him.
He's just sitting in the chair in the corner of the room.
It looks like a younger Mike Drable.
I don't know what his Claude score would be,
but it's,
yeah.
All I'm saying is like until I don't think they need to come out and put out
a statement.
I think it's kind of weird and tacky when they do.
I think like the cold play situation.
Like we immediately got statements or like reports or somebody got in touch with the
scorned wife on either side or whatever.
And here without that like are we, the collective we all interested in this and only to know
like this was really just kind of an open relationship.
Both sides were okay with it.
But they didn't want to ruin things for his kids.
I don't know.
like was there some sort of a known agreement here and everybody else is making a big deal his
apology leads me to say no um but it just seems so long term and involved that like dude
what'd you think was going to happen yeah we were wondering if they had some kind of agreement
privately yeah that's my thought but her statement would indicate i mean she she pretty much
denied that they were up to anything nefarious at all so and of course that he said my previous
actions like let down people's
She made her statement before the New York City pictures were released from years ago,
indicating this has been going on for like six years.
And so I don't think we've heard from her since that was released.
I don't know, man.
It's bad.
And obviously he's somewhat acknowledging it now and going to rehab or whatever he was.
Counseling.
Day three, though.
It was just day three.
Yeah.
I don't know if we talked about it.
that like people have too much time in their hands.
Like,
because you said like people on Twitter
were pulling up old clips of her saying stuff.
To think that like,
I'm going to go check when her Spotify playlist were created is insane.
All the,
all the easter eggs she's left along the way
have been hilarious,
the people that have found them.
It's just so funny.
He's not sluice, man.
The,
I mean,
there's somebody going back and watching like every interview she did with Simmons.
And they're just finding like,
and that clip's going to go around.
it's going to get all the action.
Like trashing your husband on these shows.
Yeah,
he's,
he's just a white furry guy meme.
Yeah.
I don't know.
They have kids.
It's sad.
I hate it.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I'm like you put this next,
uh,
Sharon Moore situation.
I'm like,
I don't care about this.
I had the Sharon Moore one looks so much grosser and so much worse.
So much more acceptable given,
you know,
all the important.
factors, but like that makes this look really, really pedestrian.
Like it sucks. It's a weird story. But I do love the fact that this exists. Like I do love that like
Dave's judging all these sleuths out there, but he did call out go check the Venmo history.
Uh, to see if there's like a baguette and a football helmet or something like who did they get?
Who did they get with the Venmo recently? Matur, it's here. Which I, it's surprising to me.
me that nothing came of that because the timestamp of those Venmos were right after the college
football games that he was referencing in the Venmos. It looked pretty bad. Come on. It's just kid stuff.
It wasn't on his own team. But I'm fun. It was still, no, I'm not saying there's anything wrong
to it. I'm just saying it's squarely against the rules. Yeah, it's nothing. To me, it felt like the
Iowa State thing, obviously there was like consequences, but I feel like the story wasn't, I guess
because it's Iowa State. No offense to Iowa State. No offense to Matt Campbell formerly.
But as I would say in Iowa, both programs had people involved. It felt like nothing over two dozen
people. It felt like it wasn't like this big bombshell story that we kind of thought it was.
Because it was Iowa State. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I guess if it's I would say there's there's probably
an element of this Soresby story's huge because we know of as an IL money.
Pretty much because of that, I think. And like the projections on him.
had he been at Cincinnati not transferred and this happened,
do we care as much?
And it's not like we care because it's Texas Tech.
I think it's just because that NIL number,
I don't know that he would have had like so much attention going into season
that like everybody would care about Brendan Sorsby
if he was still at Cincinnati this year going to be.
Even if there's like a top projected pick, like I think this would have blown over.
It's just that dollar amount is key.
It's a bigger deal because of NIL and Cody K.
Campbell is like becoming one of the faces of coach football now and he's throwing so much money around in tech got really good so suddenly and they're made the playoff on the big 12 and and they're like they're like a force now. I mean they're you can't you can't take them lightly. It's they're they become they've become a headline. That's why I think. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The $5 million NIO price tag is is insane. It's tough. It is very tough. It's crazy, man. It's crazy.
crazy, man. I'll tell you what else is crazy. These times that we're living in.

well the computer said I was ugly
I'm sorry man
fuck me
you guys want to just do the show
I'll walk out right now
all right so who found this
some some yahoo on fucking Twitter
decided to type a prompt into chat
BT chat gpt
those are the right
GPT
yes
to basically just give them a
give him a facial score with notes and comments and we decided to do it ourselves we used using the exact prompt that he shared it on twitter
i got better scores on claude than i did on chat gpt i am um i claw first i went i leveraged claude first
because that's usually my move and then i leverage chat gptt and i got the same score on both i've
locking it in.
I'm done Claude.
I did chat, GPT, and I got like three different scores because I had to run it back.
Well, Dylan got a low score, and then he's like, this can't be right.
So he just kept taking different photos.
That's not true.
He's like, God, this is broken, dude.
We took a selfie in the steel, and it was not flattering.
They're going to have to build a data center just for Dylan to upload this photos.
Then I just uploaded a picture that I had from Instagram, and it was a little bit kinder to me.
but it gave me a 7.6.
Are you staying?
Are you locking in at 7.6?
I mean, I'll accept the 7.6.
It's very critical of my skin quality.
Ready, pull up the graphics.
All right.
So I'll start with mine because it was a little mean to me with a 6.7.
But Claude gave me a 7.4.
And then I did my selfie.
So I want to see.
I re-uploaded on chat GPT with a nicer photo.
Re-uploaded time.
But so this is kind of.
know what it looks like. So you can see here. Uh, just, it just facial beauty report.
And I, and it says I'm above average, which is nice, but then it gives you like your,
your symmetry, proportions, bones, bone structure. But I feel like if I reuploaded this,
reupload, uh, it would just give me something completely different. So does I have nice cheeks.
Go to the areas of improvement box. Uh, slight asymmetry in brow height, mild under eye darkness,
which is true. I have, uh, I've been staying up a little too late. Nose prominence in
profile. I'm sorry. I'm not going to end up his job.
That's not, I got a big old nose.
To improve that, yeah, you got to get surgery.
Skin texture and hydration, midface could
appear more to find.
So.
My areas of improvement.
Slight asymmetry in brows and smile.
Skin texture and poor
visibility, poor as in P-O-R-E
visibility. Okay.
Lower third could be leaner, tighter.
Fuck you.
Sun exposure, fine lines prevention,
and neck definition.
fine lines prevention
yes interesting
it also guesses it guesses your age
and it said
I was between 35 and 47 I believe
is what it said okay
mine said 30 to 35
so that's not that's not giving me hope
in the the AI propping up the stock
market it's like yeah dude
you could be anywhere within these 12 years
yeah of course yeah my lowest scores on skin quality
I got a 6.8 out of 10
Mine,
Mine, uh...
Well, that's a 7.1 on this one.
I was accused of having a soul patch, which is not...
A sole patch to me is a standalone.
Maybe mine's more pronounced than I realized.
I need to be doing more when I got my scruff going.
Like, is this putting off a vibe that I don't like?
Is it like Torinawa does not like this?
Is that what's happening?
What are we thinking here?
7-1 on both.
I'm taking, I'm locking in, and I'll take my 7-1, and I'll go home.
I want to see what chat GPT said for my nicer photo of me.
It was critical of my early.
You're showing early signs of hairline recession.
And I was like, buddy?
Early signs.
Yeah, dude, you're right.
I am, man.
That's crazy.
I better do something about that.
Thanks for pointing that one out.
And like the things you can do, it's like, man, you should just get on some finasteride.
You got to do some pills, awesome.
It's interesting that all of our reports look similar, but they're all different.
like we didn't have this
yeah i know that it is i found that interesting too
so it's just kind of in the big face picture like he got i don't have
i'm cooked i'm chopped is all it said mine just
it's like nah bra onk status okay okay kj i didn't see that you said
claud uh
clod did do me a little better than what you're about to see from chat chp t claude
gave me a full point higher but i got fucking smoked 6.1 for kj
brrah damn dude
questionable. It said facial darkness mostly.
I don't know. I haven't read the area. I'm not lying.
Areas for improvement. Under eye darkness, which yeah, you can see some shade there.
Skin texture and poor visibility. Cool.
Beard lines could be more defined. Brian, shave that day. I'll never shave.
Brow shaping. Fuck out here. More contrast in hairstyle shape. What?
Seems problematic. But hey. On the other side,
Claude did say strong, well-projected
cheekbones and stand-out
structural feature, or
are the stand-out structural feature.
Genuinely above average.
Thanks, Claude. Love you.
Bone structure overall,
8.2 bilateral symmetry at 8.1.
The main drag.
Drawline softness.
Come on.
We got a guy.
We'll send you soon.
We got a guy who can help you with that.
A couple tools here and there.
You can just hammer away out.
Yeah.
He's going to be a dad soon.
Have you heard of bone smashing?
Wait, we got two different directions there.
More of a bone crusher guy.
Facial looks maxing, very aware.
But yeah, clavaker, the clavicle.
Clavicular.
Yes, the dead, clavicular, the dad is definitely going to be a sight to see.
Are people going to like see this and be like, oh, I can do, I could have it break down other parts of me.
Like I could do like a shirtless one be like,
Hey,
where could I improve here on my body composition?
Yeah, sure.
Or maybe.
Or maybe your wiener.
Hey, what's up?
What's going on here?
Like, what do you think?
Like what you see,
Claude?
You got to think that that's been done a million times.
It's got to be done.
I mean,
half of only fans is run by like AI chat bots anyway.
And like half of the services that people do is like,
they will advertise.
We'll do dick ratings.
So I guarantee people are out there sending their dick to the AI 100%.
That's like a moment where you need to like, that's intervention.
Like Gary Patterson song, take a step back.
Nobody remembers that he created music but you and me.
Take a step back.
It's a great song.
Defense coordinator for USC.
That's right.
Big things coming this year.
Gary Pee.
Yeah, well, I feel, I'm fine with it.
Cool.
Randy AI says that you're scrumdileumptious.
How about that?
I'm going to,
I'll be leveraging Randy going forward.
Thank you.
These are,
this is fun,
man.
It was fun this morning,
us doing it all,
like taking the selfies,
trying to get better lighting and everything and just,
it just wasn't.
We're getting,
getting smoked.
I think let's,
uh,
let's throw those back in.
to chat GPT or Claude or whatever, but then also serve it a sample of one of the
flash media newsletters of your writing and say, okay, now feed me the report back in the tone
of David Rough or Will to Freeze or Shivery.
And then let me see the report in your own words.
How about that?
I think my favorite criticism of the morning was that it criticized that Brett was
wearing a tie-dye shirt.
He didn't ask anything about the fit.
And it just went to have it to be like, dude, by the way.
Like, don't wear that.
By the way, dude.
By the way, you brick this fit, dude.
Now, now what, no, man.
That ain't it.
That ain't it.
This is a facial, uh, facial eval, but while you're here.
Hey, man, I know this a little outside the scope.
I normally don't do this.
So you got you here.
I felt compelled.
I couldn't let you walk out of here like that.
I need you have a seat.
Oh, that's so funny.
Okay.
I'll tell you what, man.
I don't know where I would be without Rocket Money.

This last one's kind of a just a funny thing we were talking about at the office.
We've seen, we've talked about this guy a few weeks ago.
I can't remember his name.
Randy, you can pull him up.
Like big, big something.
He's really blowing up my algo.
And I had an idea and I hate the idea.
I hate him.
I'm even putting this into the world.
Yeah, play it, Randy.
I don't even know if you need sound, although sound is part of it.
Yeah, you need.
What's his name on Instagram?
He does these dance, just dancing without any music.
Yeah, which makes it more awkward.
Okay.
He's got a big pizza.
He's not eating all that.
It's a visual show, everyone.
You just put a monster chicken center on a on a burger or a chicken sandwich.
Yeah, you're doing too much.
It looks delicious.
It does.
Here we go.
There's so much food.
Okay, pause it.
Okay.
No, not.
This is the part that...
All right, all right.
It's good.
You gotta get to the...
You gotta watch all of it, then.
I've never made it to that.
Not line.
It's gonna...
Okay.
Damn it.
What if this is your last place, fantasy punishment?
It's a great one, but it's also like a really extreme one, I think.
I mean, imagine doing this.
I cannot.
I can't...
Okay, here's a thing.
The second-hand embarrassment I get just from watching it.
I want to go.
Maybe I need to do this.
I want to go find his first one of these videos because he had this idea.
What, KJ?
If you are looking for previous videos, you would have to search under his former name,
which was the grooving gorilla, just wanting to make sure those who don't recognize him as big groove.
Okay.
Previously known as the grooving gorilla.
Yeah, I don't know how I feel about that.
Agreed.
I've just, I just say like at some point he was like, all right, this is, I'm going to do this.
And he went into a place and did this for a first time.
I would just, I would pay, honestly, I would pay probably $40, US dollars to, to watch.
If I had like the security camera footage or somebody was recording it, like the reaction,
the first time he tried this, maybe the first few times, right, the first 20, when people
are like, uh, the fuck's going on here.
Wait.
So he buys all this food and like, what happens to all the food?
Yeah, what's going on?
Does he donate it?
That would be a nice story.
I got breaking news, followed by one, Micah Weiner.
okay it's pronounced
a
nobody
it's like no
myca follows a lot
on instagram
and that's one thing
I've learned
big group
you cannot scroll
through your discover feed
or your 4U tab
and be like man
this is a good video
I mean I'll take back
to the Lats
and you look down
you see 40% chance
like by Michael Wiener's
already going to be there
do you share with
group chat no
is he out there liking it
absolutely
Mike is very very very active
on Instagram
yes he is
uh
So let me give you a counter.
I don't have the video since it is visual show,
but I was thinking about the same concept as far as worse,
but pay off.
As my 4-U feed right now is like very,
I don't know if it's Nicky Glass or one of the random female comics
is all over my feed.
But they were doing the Jennifer Hudson walk to the stage.
Are you familiar with this?
No.
Jennifer Hudson walked to the stage.
Maybe, yeah, I believe it's the Jennifer Hudson show.
She hosts a like Kelly.
Oh, whatever.
Yes.
And they walk from their green room to the stage.
And it's shot down that hallway with the actor turns the corner.
Then bam, not only is there a camera, but both sides of the hallway are lined with what I assume to be members of the staff of the show, producers, other people.
and they coordinate and sing and clap like a hype song specifically for this person.
David Ruff is on the show.
David Ruff is on the show.
And they'll throw in a random fact,
but like they'll have some sort of consistent rhythm.
And the reactions are never good.
Whether they're talented and have rhythm or they don't,
it's always the most.
It's cringe.
Like I watch it every single time.
That's why it's the feed.
but is this a uh was that a reaction to uh the demise of ellen and it's like hey look they love
working here i'm not mean to them at all the support staff is great look i got them in the
best bit on the show i'm not going to have to move to europe treating your employees like they
work at i don't know chilies at a birthday routine or a fucking uh chucky cheese every quarter
of the hour and like that's your perk to your employees like bless your heart but damn i don't know
I would probably do the big groove jello gorilla moves over walking down a hallway of people clapping
and chanting my name and like trying to implore me to do a dance.
Like the soul train line terrified me as a kid, traumatized music.
And I don't think I could ever perform in that moment.
Just ain't happening.
Did you ever attend a wedding where like, you know, at the end of the night, dance floor is a circle
and like one of your buddies kind of pushes you out there and you're like, oh, no.
And you got to like, you kind of got to do.
you're like, do I want to be the guy who just like walks back and everybody's like, oh, boo?
Or do you want to be the guy like, you know what I mean?
Try to like, like spent like the last two months trying to learn some dance and then does it.
But then like makes somebody fall out of a chair.
Like not to make too many assumptions.
Separate situation.
The juby slide had nothing to do with that lady falling.
Not to make too many assumptions.
But I feel like if you grow up in Duncanville or in, you know, random parts of Arlington, like,
you're at random events like that where you're expected to have rhythm and if you don't you'll hear
about it. And again, going back to the big groove element of this, you pull that bullshit and I'm
like sitting there eating my food or you know, you implore me to do this. A, not only not going to
do it, but like if I had to absolutely do it, I honestly can't think of many things other than checking
out early. That would be worse.
like of the restaurant or life
you know
what if uh what if they got big
wait what is it big groove big groove
what if they got big groove at the correspondence did
bang
a lot of food
shark bite
a tremendous amount of shark bite
he's fucking dipping and dodging he's got a mouthful
and he's fucking matrixing
I need to know, like, if he's like, if afterwards, it's like, all right, I'm not really going to eat all this.
Like, have you seen the movement to cancel the restaurants?
Yeah.
They're paying him to go there in like review and like, not review food, but like showcase their food.
It doesn't tell me anything about the food.
It just shows me their food.
There's a guy who he has a list going on Twitter of all the restaurants he's going to.
He's like, all right, we're banning this one now.
We're not, I don't want nobody going to go.
You know what?
The hell yeah.
That's, I have to believe, like, that the other patrons are,
fully aware and prepared and understand or maybe their food's comp.
Like that's always the problem for me is like the innocent
NPC in these videos.
And far too often in like the man on the street are just jackass in a Walmart.
The NPCs have no idea they're not in on it.
But I think with these restaurants,
there's so much prep that goes into it that like you've got to think the guy at the bar
behind him is aware, right?
Yeah, I was I was wondering that too because like,
Oh, Jesus.
I'll make sure that it's not a playing.
Did we just add the White House correspondent dinner to the board or something?
Everyone there knows what's about to happen.
I would love to know what this looks like.
For me,
the smack of the pizza.
You can't smack of the pizza.
He's smack to the pizza.
Respect the Zah, man.
Because the clientele at this bar looks like they wouldn't be, you know,
you know, appreciative of this.
So I guess I want to know what it looks like beforehand.
Like he's like, hey, everyone, I'm going to do something.
going to be loud.
You can open his mouth so freaking wide.
I think they're employees.
I think this is like the place is closed.
The other waiters and kitchen staff are like being told like, hey, just look down, act like nothing's going on.
I've watched enough bang bros to like suss out who's in on it and who's not.
Please stop playing this video.
Those dudes are in on it.
Okay.
Wait, who's not in on it?
I don't know, man.
That's the question.
That dancing bear video that KJ sent me.
that's where I should have gone yeah that's true there's there's there's more buy-in when there's a
room full of a batch as if I know as if I know what am I saying I don't know the plot lines of
dancing bear we talked about the dude who goes to the mall or like the gym and just
does like his little shuffle his little like edm shuffle and like those it's like okay
well he's at the mall food court they didn't shut this guy doesn't have the clock to shut down
the food court and it's really just some guy some guy on his
his lunch break. He's been selling cell phones at a kiosk. And he's like, God damn it. I got to go get some
bamboo bistro or whatever. And he's just in line. Then all of a sudden, like this dude's like
in his workout gear, takes his shirt off in his tiny shorts. And he's like, oh, this is in the video.
I didn't consent to this. Come on. Goes back to the cell phone kiosk. Thinks about the time when
Dylan used to work with him, the singular store. And I was just a better, better era. Just sad, bleak, really.
I mean
Oh my God
There's some punk kid
Go back for samples
Me
I'm not
I'm not cancel in the restaurants
Let me at least comment on that
Like I'm not out on the restaurant
Do what you got to do to survive
In this economy
Whatever the food looked all right
Like if the food looked like trash
I think would be like
Kind of happy is punishing himself
The food usually looks good
And people are like upset that it's good
I can't imagine slap it
pizza like that. Like, does that sound?
It's just off-putting. He did another one
in a pizza shop and he covered it with
like Parmesan or whatever and just wipes it with his
hand. That's the part
where I'm out. You don't need to add that to the,
you don't need to add that to the mix.
No. I feel like you don't.
But like 2.2 mil on
Instagram, I think he's like almost a 7 mil
on TikTok. He's doing all right for him.
So 6 on YouTube. Yeah, I think.
Jello gorilla sells. So fuck us, I guess.
All right.
Dave, go do.
this.
Honestly.
Let's go to
Sammies and you'll go do it.
The thought of doing this amongst my peers
it's just
I had
I said to be funny to do this with like a Guinness
poor.
You go to like the Irish pub.
It's all kind of quiet
midday and you just do this and they're like
looking around like what the
what's he doing?
What is he thinking?
Go on get out.
You can't do it here.
this one go to the house just leave you go you know you call the your kids school and you're like hey
just had a really great week I wanted to do lunch with my son okay but you're performing at the
school cafeteria you slap the square pizza I could think of no audience less forgiving
just bear your face in a room full of kids bear your face in Texas goulash
meat bean nachos like it's a pool party in Houston.
You can eat that cosmic brownie?
Oh.
The food now is good, dude.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What was that reaction to cosmic brownies, David?
Cosmic brownies are delicious.
Everything now, the kids now, they just like, they get sun butter, sun butter and jelly
sandwiches, you know, allergies.
Some butter.
I don't.
Sun butter.
Yeah.
What is that?
Is that just a peanut butter substitute?
Sunflower oil based.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, interesting.
All the schools do it.
Yeah.
I bought crunchy peanut butter home on purpose of there because, you know, if it's just me, I'll choose to.
And I thought my kid told him I was putting him up for adoption.
He was never more offended and upset about like a product being different than what he expected.
It's like, what is, what did you put?
Why did you do this?
Like, no, it's just crunchy.
It's got more peanuts in it.
You know, whatever.
Move on.
No.
And he usually had no tantrums about food.
daughter does but he won't but he was
livid I get it man
I don't mind crunchy
I don't go out of my way to get it but if somebody
snuck it in on me I would I would handle
oh I order a crunchy he did I buy
