they're gonna want to get back damn that's gonna be tough you're burying like the best like new feature on the phone which is that you can see people leaving voicemails in real time that was pretty wild i saw it happened to me the other day with a fraud alert that i had on my credit card and being able to just see the the voicemail getting left in real time it helped my anxiety so much by not just being like oh god like what's going on right now wait that was in real time what you're showing us i thought you just pulled it up after the fact no that was real time that's sick bill maher on the bitch no no no no more stinks no speaking of fraud alert how about these rankings hey can we can we actually what are we gonna do can we actually circle back real quick

you want to touch base on something too while we're at it no no one at a time dylan what are your thoughts on rice cakes rice cakes yeah why are you asking me specifically because i feel like rice cakes are very dylan coded uh i have dabbled with rice cakes in the past i usually just put some peanut butter on that, John. Okay. But it's been a long time since I've had one, actually. I could see you being a big rice cake guy for some reason. I feel like it's a bodybuilder thing. It is.

It's a health play, isn't it? Is it? It's like just get immediate quick carbs. Yeah. If you're really looking to store some carbohydrates. Well, rice cakes exist in 20 years i just feel like i feel like they're gonna go away i haven't seen anyone eat these things in in so long i eat rice cakes how often do we rice cakes one a day do you get this really yeah i know

i get the like just straight up just like kind of lightly salted ones because if you get the like the apple cinnamon ones or chocolate ones they're not a health play it's just still a bunch of sugar you don't put anything on them no they're just they're they're mainly get home and i'm feeling snacky and i just have one just kind of it scratches that itch i've been trying to spike your uh insulin no just just mainly i i i'll have like a little beef stick and uh a rice cake and i like does enough for me hell yeah a little beef stick in this bitch. My just-get-home snack has become Triscuits with a little peanut butter on it. Stop, dude. That's the most boring cracker of all time.

Dave, tell them it's a palate play. You famously said that one time on video. I do enjoy a Triscuit cracker, but I won't say it's my go-to. But, like, Triscuit cracker plus peanut butter is, like, that could kill a dog. One of those kills a dog. Well, I eat like eight of them. Because it just gets stuck to the back of the throat? Yeah, like you can't swallow that if you're not a human.

It can be hard to swallow. But I've just trained my gullet just to take that shit down. Really? Okay. Dude, you're straight up throated. No, I'm not. I just enjoy a triscuit cracker. Because you're so good with it, you trained your gullet so well,

people are calling you the throat goat. Right. You famously have no gag reflex. I don't know that that's true. That's how you're able to take down so many Triscuit crackers. We don't need to get horny with this. It's just a Triscuit. They're the one who brought up Triscuit with peanut butter play.

Yeah. You know it's a pilot play? I think it's actually National Lemon Cream Pie Day. That's how it's pronounced, not creme. I was trying to sauce it up. I've never had a lemon cream pie. I'm looking at a photo of it on Dave's tablet slash laptop right now, and it looks like something I'd enjoy,

but I don't think I've ever actually had a lemon cream pie. I haven't either. That doesn't sound appealing to me. What? Your favorite pie is key lime pie. You're just so anti-lemon? Lime and lemon, they're different, man. Not enough citrus?

I don't like whipped cream. You know that about me. I didn't know that about you. That's crazy. I avoid whipped cream. Hey, you don't do whipped cream on pumpkin pie? No. You don't do it on your pecan pie?

I don't do it, period. That's insane. Yeah, I know. That's insane. It's so good. You got to do it it i'm a little weird like you're already indulging with the sugar with the pie you may as well just who cares it's not a sugar flop it up it's i don't like flop it up i don't like it play slop it up

cream it up i don't know i got i've got two notes from history and one applies to each of you okay will can you guess what happened on this day in 1899 1899 i'm going to say that in 1899 they lifted a ban on high proof liquor in the state of Missouri. November 29th. You were close. FC Barcelona was founded. Ah, yes. I'm surprised you didn't know that. I'm not a Barcelona guy.

If I'm going to go with La Liga, I have to go with my – everyone knows how much I like Luca from the Dallas Mavs. It's just kind of who I am, and, you know, he's a Madrid guy. And so I have to go with my guy. Dylan, you'll remember this. On this day in 1972, Atari releases Pong. I wasn't allowed. Where were you?

I didn't exist. Where were you when Pong dropped? Have you ever played an Atari before? Yeah, we had one. I haven't. Do you guys remember the ping pong song by enrique iglesias oh he's been getting flamed on uh on the social why what'd he do he had a very bad performance where his auto tune wasn't working and it's really bad you can't you can't blame a guy when the auto tune doesn't work he's relying on the auto tune that's that one

it's an all-time lineup though pitbull enrique and ricky martin going around right so this i'm going to that this has some latin flavor right there yeah it's coming to austin and i i'm not kidding when i say it sounds like one of the most fun shows you could ever go to i don't know why there's more people that don't want to go to this that does sound fun can you give me a ballpark of when it might be here no i'm a little worried that like it might have already passed. Fuck. I mean, I've never seen Ricky Martin in concert. I've never seen Enrique in concert.

I've only been to one kind of Latin pop show. Juanes? You guys familiar with him? He's Colombian? No. Went to high school and it was so much fun.

I've never been to a Pitbull show. I've been adjacent to Pitbull shows numerous times and he just always escaped me. Do you remember in the Livin' La Vida Loca video when the young lady, his love interest, pours candle wax on his shirtless body? Yeah, I do remember that. That always looked painful.

All right, it's February 9th. It's Friday. I think the boys got a link and go to Enrique, Pitbull, and Ricky. Can we, honestly, can we try to do that? I will go to that. How did Ricky Martin get last place in this billing? It goes Enrique, Pitbull, Ricky. He hadn't done something in a minute.

I would have gone Pitbull, Ricky, Enrique. Is Enrique still married to Anna Kournikova? Wait, who's the headliner? Enrique? Enrique. I would put Pitbull over Enrique. Enrique Iglesias has bangers. Pitbull has a massive audience, fan base.

Baby, I like it. Yeah, Pitbull should be headlining this. Yes. I would go Ricky, Enrique, Pitbull. Enrique's still married. So if you're going performance, like Ricky's opening, then Enrique, then Pitbull. Yeah, worst to best. Yeah, I can kind of flip-flop those.

No disrespect to Ricky. Yeah, you're kind of flip-flop those no disrespect to ricky yeah you're kind of disrespecting ricky a little bit ricky enrique and anna kornikov is still married really that see that shows you that true love does exist she let the rhythm take her over yeah i thought uh i thought i had a chance with her back in 2001 i saw her to red wings game one time uh federov yeah pretty cool experience. She was in the suite above our section. She got a standing ovation.

This is pre-selfie days. Yeah, this was pretty much pre-cell phone days, I think. This was a long time ago. I'm actually shocked they're still together. When did they even get together? I've been married since, I think like 2001. I mean mean an all-time pull for our man enrique hey did y'all come strapped today no mine's uh mine's actually i think mine's on my bedside table right now my friendship bracelet i had to make up for it because i missed yesterday we got

a lot of taylor swift stuff in the bank today though that's true i'm not too worried about it hey can we get some announcements out of the way? Yeah. Okay, first and foremost, Wilmont's polos are still available at roback.com. If you're interested in those,

So we did Randy's exactly – no, what was it? What's it called? Do You Know It. Do You Know It. Sorry. And Randy had been out of town, and I was a little worried. Like his first day in, he's got to do the game show. I was like, oh, we might have like gravel voice Randy.

This could be tough. He did great. Good for you, man. I'm a constant professional. Okay. You are a constant professional. Okay. You're a constant professional. Constant professional. Constantly.

That's what they say. Always professional. That's how that phrase is used. Hello, colleges. Spoiler alert. I got last place. Wow. Come on.

See how it happened, but I did. You crushed the music, Zag. I got one, right? That's my weak spot. My blind spot, man. Everybody knows that. Colorblind? Yeah. I'm colorblind weak spot. My blind spot, man. Everybody knows that. Colorblind? Yeah.

I'm colorblind. I'm music blinded, apparently, too. It's time for Will's five-star review of the week. This one's a pretty straightforward one, boys. We got an emoji. That's right. It's from KG1904. I think that is Kevin Garnett, big listener.

It's the skull and crossbones emoji as the subject line. Five stars obviously because it's Will's five star review of the week. I look like a psycho smiling and laughing in my car by myself while listening. And I'm okay with that. Thank you, Kevin Garnett.

I didn't realize that today was going to be Spotify wrap day until I walked in the office and Brett started talking about it. Our listeners, our faithful listeners who we love, they let us know pretty quickly when it's Spotify wrap day.

They just start hitting us up, tagging us and shit. It's great. Crazy. I saw a noted backer. She sent me her wrapped and she had listened listened to over 9 000 minutes of circling back and she was only in the top two percent of listeners of circling back which means that we have some absolute real ones out there can you imagine listening to 9 000 minutes of anything and being in the top not not being in the top one percent of people especially us idiots yeah dude

we're losers we're like we're straight up losers dog i don't is that a lot i don't even know if that's a lot i don't know i mean if you take 60 minutes per episode wait what was the total again 9 000 wow take 60 minutes per episode that's i mean that's you're doing numbers we're looking at 150 epis yeah oh thereabouts it's pretty good yeah it's pretty good uh were you guys pleasantly surprised to see your spotify wrapped were you upset to see certain things how did it go for you mine's pretty chalk i it went there was only one surprise i had several surprises mainly because i truly thought that my entire spotify wrapped was going to be not entire i thought that the top dogs would be all children's music and somehow it wasn't my top five artists have no children's music in there my top songs are definitely children music heavy okay uh yeah my my my main takeaway from looking at my spotify

raft is that i'm a very i'm a basic bitch okay so your number one artist is drake he's number two okay i'm a basic okay okay okay your number Okay. Who did his number one artist be? I'll give you a hint. I'm going to say. It can't be Snoop Dogg because he didn't get the next episode yesterday during. Fair. You want a hint? Stapleton.

He's on there, but he's not number one. Kind of, to me, he's new on the scene. Zach Bryan? Yeah. Number one. I'm not necessarily proud of it. He released an album that I think is really good and I listened to it a bunch on my walks with Stella and it shot up the rankings. I'm not anti proud of it. He released an album that I think is really good, and I listened to it a bunch on my walks with Stella, and it shot up the rankings. I'm not anti-Zach Bryan. Okay.

If anything, I think that the album cover that he has is an all-timer. It's a great album cover. He is one of those artists that I would love to start listening to because people that I respect listen to him, but I haven't even entertained one song yet from him. That genre has been just kind of scratching an itch i've had i don't know it's it's been it's been hitting for me what is it i don't know uh sad boy shit i don't really know what is he a sad boy is he on that sad boy zach bryan genre let me look at my top genres maybe that'll give us a little hint how about that it's like uh

little americana it's amer it's it's americana do you guys have any guesses on what my top How about that? It's like a little Americana. It's Americana. Do you guys have any guesses on what my top genre was? It's on the softer side. It's a little red dirty. He's an Oklahoma guy. My top genre was simply country. That rocks. It makes no sense to me.

Wait, really? Yeah, it makes no sense to me. I don't think I listened to any artists that would be considered traditional country all year. to any artist that would be considered traditional country all year. This might be the first year I had zero country artists make it into my top five. How do you guys want to do this?

I'm going to guess yours. Are you guys some kind of artists? Well, also, here's the thing. I might guess Grateful Dead or something, but you're probably not listening to that on Spotify. You're probably listening to that only on your record player. I use Nugs.

Nugs is an app that is used by a lot of people that listen to jam bands. They put up live shows. They also do archive shows a lot. But I listen to a lot of stuff on Nugs because it's all the live stuff. And it's not to dunk on Spotify, but it's better sound quality coming from Nugs. So if I'm listening to something, I'm more likely to listen to it there. Okay.

I pulled up my top genres. I don't know if you want to start. Hit us with your genres. I was curious. I only have my top genre. I don't know my other ones. Okay. One is rap.

Makes sense. Two is pop. Three is contemporary country, new Americana, and modern southern rock. I didn't even know those were things, really. Yeah, these things are thangin' a little too hard. I feel like there's a lot of those artists that could be two of those.

It's gettin' real specif. Who's y'all's number five artist of the year? Number five, this is my big surprise, Lil Wayne. Really? Damn, let's go we see a baby the block is hot i did not know that you were like that yeah i mean i i do enjoy a lot of uh his catalog but i didn't think i didn't think well i don't enjoy lollipop you're a big lollipop

guy i didn't think it would crack the top five my number five is leon bridges that's a good one who i freaking that's a good one fort worth zone leon bridges just beautiful voice texas sun probably my favorite but top five song of the year for me when i walked out from uh taking you know when you have to like take photos after the wedding near the groom and you're like just getting your photo taken and everyone's having fun together and you're like man i'd love to go have fun with everybody yep when i walked out from the wedding photos and everything was done the sun was just setting over the pacific ocean and texas sun was absolutely blasting through the speakers and for that reason alone i always absolutely love that song it is a fantastic song yeah i mentioned that yeah funky

town yeah my number five artist is an artist that's actually been in Austin a lot lately. And this is an artist that I don't remember listening to hardly at all this year, but they've been on my Spotify rap the last like five years. DJ named Poolside. Okay. It's like chill vibes. I don't know. Like, I truly don't know how this guy finds his way onto my Spotify rap every single year.

Is that your Tropical House stuff? It's not like house music though. Because you were going hard on that for a minute. That's the thing. But when I do that, all I do is just go to, this is Kygo and press radio. Call it a day. Okay. Kygo, he's the main one in that.

Poolside more just kind of easygoing kind of electronic music. But I truly don't understand how he's just getting a lot of real estate on my rap. You did spend a lot of time poolside. Golf cart. I can see golf maybe. It said I listened to a lot in March. And so I would say that maybe March was a time where I was playing more golf and stuff. Okay.

Number four. This lines up with my July. This is three fellas who are back together, reunited. It's Blink-182. I thought you said Turnpike or something. That checks out. Yeah. Did a lot of Blink following, leading up to, but also following the concert.

Okay. Okay. My number four is a man who's been controversial. He's kind of out there. But none of his new-ish, by the way. I want to make that clear. It's Kanye. Just old Johns.

Old Kanye Johns. Thank you for clarifying this. None of his new-ish. It's none of his new-ish. I don't like his new-ish. You're not listening to God is King? No. Is that what it's called? That feels like one of them. Yeah. ish you're not doing i don't like his new ish you know listening to god is king no that was called that feels like one of them yeah probably yeah yeah i didn't listen to his gospel stuff

he released that album that just straight up no one ever heard because he had a new he put it on that little tiny like tamagotchi honestly i'm still spinning tilap a little bit tilap is tilap's hell of spinnable yeah yeah i'm a little surprised he didn't end up in mine. He's on mine every year. It's interesting. I thought my number four would actually be top three for me. It was goose. That's my,

that's my goose honk. That's another one that you listen to outside of Spotify. Yeah. But they have one album from Chicago. They have like a live album from Chicago. That was getting a lot of playtime. Never miss a Chicago show. If Watch Media HQ had a Spotify

wrapped, Goose would be on it. I don't know why I put... I don't know why in the bullpen I put Goose on on YouTube. I think it's because they do two things that I really enjoy. They put full concerts on YouTube and they don't monetize

their full concerts. So you never have to worry about changing it for commercial purposes or fast forwarding. It's not about the money, man. Love that for them. They need, I think they need people listening to them. You know, I think, I think it benefits them to do stuff like that. I typically enjoy when they're on out there, you're going to get, you're going to get a mix of keys. You're going to get some shredding. Sometimes a little too much shredding. If I'm being honest, you think a little too much on the shred. Well, you famously said that they're pretty basic for a jam band so that's why you don't like yeah you know me i mean they're not my cup of tea it's kind of like entry level i don't know why but i

love i love the controversy surrounding uh goose and how some people just absolutely hate them mainly fish fans i love uh jam band fans who gatekeep yeah yeah no i read i read something recently that was just like dude dude, my favorite band is so much better than your favorite band. Is that the most gatekept genre of music? It's definitely one of them. They're like the hardcore fans of just one band. You'd think everyone would be chill, but I'm scared shitless of

Phish fans. Are they hardcore? Yeah. Like super judgmental? I don't know. Phish people, they're just a little intimidating, man. They're not as nice. With their gills? Like, Bro Bible Brandon is a Ph fish guy, and he's like the nicest guy of all time. He's more of a dead guy, though, isn't he? I don't know. I think he...

I don't know. I don't know. Did you see that he... I sent this to the group last night, but I completely forgot about bro tips. I did, too. I did, too. I had not thought about bro tips in a decade. I did, too.

Yeah, that took me back. There are several things on the internet that I just completely forgot about. Gent tips, of course. Was that a rowdy gentleman thing? No, that was just a thing that we made fun of quite a bit back in the day. What was gent tips? Was that an actual site? It was bow tie avis on Twitter just telling you how to treat a lady.

So bro tips was an actual website, similar to TFM. Instead of a TFM, you would get a tip from a bro's tip. Like give us an example of a bro tip. Oh, man, I threw a hook. Fuck, I don't know. I kept my elbow. I snuck my elbow over the line in beer pong. That's a bro move.

And then I did a line of wheezing cocks off my boy's piece. That's a bro move. Here's bro tip number 1749. Yes. Every minute you spend being angry, you lose 60 seconds of being awesome. Don't be wasteful. That's just good advice. Hey, bro tip 1373.

People care a lot less about how good you are at something when you're a dick about it. I don't know what that means. Something to think about, y'all. It's true. Yeah. Be humble. Yeah. Let's go to number three.

Who you got for us, Davey? I'm kind of embarrassed to say it because she sent me a personalized message since I was in her top 20% or whatever. But it's Taylor Swift. Just number three, huh? Just number three three my personalized message was from leon bridges oh that's cool yeah did you get one i too got a personalized message and it was also from my number three artist this year who was much like david it was taylor swift this is i think this is the first year in the last couple years she hasn't been my number one i wish i wish you liked some band and Bro Bible Brandon was your personalized message. That'd be so sick.

It would be. If Goose was my number one band and Bro Bible Brandon came up, I'd be pumped. My number three is Chris Stapleton. Just love his voice, man. Oh, yeah, man. Stapleton. He's got a fantastic voice. I like his vibe.

Very talented. I don't listen to Stapleton alone, but when Stapleton comes on in someone's car when I'm driving with them, I'm like, okay, let's do it. I Think You Should Leave is probably my top Stapleton song of the year. Is this a Netflix rap? You sure about that?

Dude, his stuff with the steel drivers is better, but he's still pretty good. Yeah. Yeah, dude. I mean, totally know that. Obviously. Obviously. Right, right, right. My number two artist of the year is uh a british lad from newcastle sam fender i thought he would be my number one this year

because i really i sally and i use the phrase ground hogging do you know that does this make any sense to you where you just do the same thing over and over again okay like i remember one time we were doing a diet and we got like addicted to one meal and we're like all right we're just gonna groundhog this meal and just like lose weight right now but i i groundhogged uh sam fender he's the man before people dunk on me the netflix show was in my head you should probably leave is the name of that song no no yeah you sure about that i don't want people dunking on me over that so you sure about that so there it is i made a mistake hold on hold on over that so you sure about that so there it is i made a mistake hold on are you sure about that okay what's going on out there i don't know

oh man um this is where my this is my my one uh controversy might come into play. Number two, the 1975. Really? I've tried so hard to get into them because I know how many people love them. I just can't do it. Can I be completely frank with you? It's about the same six songs. Yeah. I don't like a lot of their stuff.

They're such a weird band to me that if you don't – if you like the 1975, how can I say this? I can't really go all in on them because I only like a fraction of their songs. They don't have a consistent enough sound to me to fall in love with them, but they've got a few songs that I will listen to a lot. It's pretty much their upbeat stuff only. And I was surprised to see them at number two, but I did go very hard on four or five songs. They're a band that I'm really shocked has such a loyal following for some reason. They just don't get there. They don't get me there. Yeah. I want to like them so bad. Like

I said, it's not hitting enough. I got to give credit to a few people for that. Our friends at the Brunch Podcast, Pete Blackburn and DJ Bean. They're big 1975 guys. Yeah. And Duda's wife. I want to be cool like that. She's obsessed with the band. Okay. Checks out.

Yeah. And I was like, all right, I'm going to give him a shot. And I did like five songs. Very much so, apparently. Number one. Did we skip two five songs. Very much so, apparently. Number one. Did we skip two? No. You do two.

Who was your two? Drake, Drizzy. Oh, I thought Drake would be your number one. Yeah. Did you already say your number one? Zach Bryan. Yeah. Can I guess yours?

Yeah, you can go ahead and guess yours. I think it's Luke Bryan. Luke Bryan. I actually have a different account that I use for Luke Bryan. Who is the Luke Bryan-esque guy that was big on your workout playlist like 15 years ago? It was Florida Georgia. And Luke Bryan. And Luke Bryan.

I had two different running playlists. One was hip-hop. One was country. And the country one was one that I did mostly. And it was almost exclusively luke bryan and florida georgia line lost 20 pounds that winter just grinding on the treadmill didn't they break up fgl they did uh yeah so yeah it's a tough day they're going solo or they just don't i'm riding with georg. I think one has a show on OAN now.

I'm riding with The Line. We know you are. We know you are. We know you are. Just give that to y'all. My number one was The Grateful Dead. Yeah. You guys heard of these guys?

It checks out. You guys should start listening to these guys. They're good. I like some of their older stuff. Yeah. I'm a big fan of the older stuff. Yup, yup, yup. Yup.

I'm actually shocked that they were my number one on Spotify because I don't think I listen to that much of them on Spotify. Uh, number one for me, not a big shocker turnstile turnstile. Uh, when I did a thing yesterday where you can look up how much you listen to people in the last, like you can do it in the last month, in the last six months on the website that I was using turnstile was number four in my last six months. And I was really hoping that I could have them crack my top five for you, Dave. They did not do that. That's okay. I think the majority of my Turnstile play is gym playlists,

but that checks out. What are your total minutes listened? 18,265. Dylan? Give me a sec to get there. That's not one of the ones I screenshot. I'm coming in at 23,152 minutes listened. I'm not surprised by my top songs because, like I said, I was going so hard on Sam Fender in the beginning that it makes sense. My number one song is his number one song, 17 Going Under. My number two song is You're Welcome by The Rock

on the Moana soundtrack. Okay. You're welcome. Banger. I mean, here's the thing. It's a certified banger. Number three is All Is On My Side by Sam Fender. Number four is also Sam Fender getting started.

And number five, Dizzy Gillespie, Bang Bang. Okay. Bang Bang. That's a Fritz favorite Cruel Summer Cracked my top five It's number three actually Cruel Summer was

Easily the most Overplayed Taylor Swift song Of the year for me I listened for over 23,000 minutes So you got the top You're a top listener

I'm a big When I work out Music the whole time When I walk Stella I've been walking Stella A lot I'm just spinning The whole time You dig? Hey want to thank spotify for sponsoring this segment my number

Guess I like music more than you guys.

You can't see it, but he had cocky head lean back. Can we call Timo and see what his looks like? I would love to see intern Timo's Spotify wrapped. Mongolian death metal? No, it's Mongolian throat music. Yeah. You want my artist? Yeah. Not really, but. Number five, Galantis,ian throat music. Yeah. You want my artists? Yeah.

Yeah. Not really, but. Number five, Galantis, which is like EDM. Number four, Kenny Chesney, making it three times in a row. Fuck yeah. Number three, Daft Punk. Number two, A Day to Remember. And number one, Magnolia Park, which is a new pop punk band.

Listen to you, Randy. Listen to me. I love that your dedication to pop punk, you're willing to listen to new bands. Kenny Chesney? They're really good. Oh, yeah. I did not see that coming. Kenny Chesney, my favorite artist.

He loves Chesney, dude. Did not know. I'm surprised you didn't know that. My parents stayed at a house in the Virgin Islands one time that he apparently had rented, and all the people that stay there, the thing about the house is that you're supposed to leave a recipe behind.

And Kenny Chesney had stayed at the house, and he left behind a handwritten recipe for his painkillers oh that's good kind of amazed that no one's stolen that page out of the book i mean it's probably gone now this is 20 years ago but my parents took a photo it was pretty cool chesney i like you know what hey there's no shame in that i'm not i'm not embarrassed he's not feeling shameful to be pretty'm not embarrassed. He's not feeling shameful. He seems to be pretty proud. He's not shameful.

As long as it's his old stuff. Right. I like some of his newer stuff, too. There's nothing like a pina colada on your balcony. Just listen to Kenny Chesney. Dude, that's so facts. Damn, that's sick. That's so facts.

Did you ever want a tractor just so she could think you were sexy? See, that's the old, old stuff. Yeah, it's the past. More of like pirate flag, you know? I don't know what that means. Pirate ship, dude. Summertime. He was a problem on that Lambda Chi porch.

He was. Yep. He's a tiny feller. Is he? Looks tiny. He is. Little guy. He's like 5'6", I want to say.

He's probably going up and helping Santa in the workshop. That's mean. Oh, that's mean. Come on, man. Have you not been seeing those memes? No. There's a bunch of memes that was like saying bye to your boy that's like 5'6", because you know he's going to go to the workshop.

There's a whole thing like anyone that's short during the wintertime has to go up to North Pole and hug Santa. They're pretty funny. Aw, don't do that to me. I support the short games. I didn't know Chesney married Renee Zellweger in 2005. Yeah, for about six weeks. Yeah, why'd they end so quickly? I don't know. There's a lot of rumors. i didn't know chesney married renee zellweger in 2005 yeah for about six weeks yeah why'd they end so quickly i don't know there's a lot of rumors i don't know okay we did see her on new year's eve that one time she is the tiniest she's a tiny tiny gal i believe it

i believe it shout out to renee zellweger all-time last name kenny chesney just doesn't like sleeves much no he looks like he just does arms. Why would you? I don't know. Kenny Chesney. Yeah, good point. Probably doesn't like socks either. Ooh, it's time you listen to this Christmas stuff. All I want for Christmas is white sand or something like that. Okay, okay.

Dylan, can you go get someone in here real quick for a player? I told him. He's probably listening to Morgan Wallen and just absolutely zoned out. Yeah, Brett's Spotify rap is just Morgan Wallen

and then sleepy jazz music. I don't even want to know. He only had two top artists. We've got some controversy within the squad that I think we need to sort out. As you guys know, we had a long holiday weekend. And when people are on a holiday weekend, we had a long holiday weekend. When people are on a holiday weekend,

everyone's on a different page. This past holiday weekend, Brett was all over the map. He was at Thanksgiving with me. He was at Klein's Ranch. He was in El Tiempo. Just absolutely thriving. Randy was up in Indiana. Just living his best. But somehow, things became disconnected. Yeah. just get that mic up on the

brett man it's uh it got weird it got honestly kind of took away from what should have been like a great thanksgiving break for everybody couldn't agree more it's nice to nice to you know like touch base with the fellas when you're away for too long like see check in see how guys are doing it was clear to me that brett was thinking about randy it's kind of yeah exactly right it's a hey i'm just i'm putting this out here like you're on you're in my mind somewhere right um but it's been awkward ever since randy got back yesterday and i'm a little tense in the office i didn't see randy talk to brett the entire time i didn't see Randy talk to Brett the entire time. I didn't even see him make eye contact with Brett the entire time.

Should we set the scene? Yeah, can you explain what you were doing, Brett? Yeah, so I'm at Klein's Ranch celebrating his grandmother's 90th birthday. Wow. As one does. As is tradition in the Polish tradition, they have a large gathering. They play Polish drinking songs and a lot of music a lot of dancing a very light atmosphere yeah and i said oh you know you know

who would love this my friend randy who famously is polish as his heritage and talks about it and enjoys celebrating his polish heritage so i said randy i'm listening to a polish drinking band right now it's a blast here's a video of it that's if someone if if my friend reached out to me in that manner i would be touched man thank you that's thinking of me during a time when you know you could be thinking about the the 99 other people around you right now you thought of me you know that's that's a special moment in anyone's life. And that's where I was at. Nostrovia, famously, is Polish for cheers. That is true, yeah. So I sent this video, which I believe we have up

thanks to the power of technology. Can we play it? He's got to top my Spotify rap next year this is lit dude this is a scene i wish you would have thought of me so bad during this absolute scene can you imagine it was a boy's just singing polish jams only on the range he only thought about one lucky person and that was so i thought about randy and i said randy uh i believe i said if i pull up the the text thread i said hey randy you like what you see how did so he surely he was elated that

you thought of him and he was you know gave you a big time response what what did it say you might think so uh i wanted to respond but i was like i'm gonna give randy the chance to really respond first it's his it's his day this This is about him. Randy said, sure. Really? I don't even remember it being that cold. I thought it was like, okay, man, or something like that. Is sure the most like, sure is the most like brush off like confirmation text that you can send someone.

It's a minimal effort. If I send the word sure to Sally, that's like, yeah, I'll do it. But why the hell are you asking me to do this? It's on site. Yeah, sure. In the touching base days, I got criticized for responding to a text about plans with sure. Yeah. And honestly, I've changed my behavior.

I was like, you know what? That is a little vague. Yeah. I know what I was doing. It's about a half step nicer than just a regular little K. Yeah, it is. It's in the same ballpark. Yeah. Yeah, it is. It's in the same ballpark. It's K adjacent.

They're friends. Yeah. Adjacent. Only could have been below that if you put like a period at the end of sure. Like sure period. So Will tries to lighten the mood

sensing an immediate vibe shift. He goes, is that Kendrick Lamar? It's obviously not. It's a Polish drinking band. Right. They sound very different. So I said,

you know, I'm like feeling Randy's disappointment a little bit. Oh, sorry, man. right they sound very different so i said you know i'm like feeling feeling randy's disappointment a little bit like oh sorry man there's a polish drinking song i thought you'd like it with a like a sad defeated emoji and he uh responds i'm american it's true okay and so at this point why are you forgetting your roots randy yeah it's kind of your whole brand. I almost got to the point where I texted Randy on the side. I'm like, hey, did I do something? Are we good, fam?

Yeah. And then you guys came in, or when I came in, and I was like, hey, did you guys think that was a weird text? Were you having a bad day? No, I just woke up on the case of the fuckarounds. It was 7 o'clock at night. He woke up with a case of the fuckarounds. A case of the fuckarounds.

At your friend's expense, mind you. Yeah. Yeah. And so I was like, maybe this goes back to the mac and cheese fest that didn't work out, that we didn't attend. Like, are you mad at me for that? He was horny for some mac and cheese. Dude, so we theorized this yesterday.

We did. That the lack of tickets that you acquired to the mac and cheese festival have now led Randy to absolutely hating you. So I'm laying my heart out on my sleeve. Oh, that's beautiful. And I don't, I don't know.

Are we good? Maybe you should get some mac and cheese tickets next time. No, I'm serious. Like, are we good? You could have gone by yourself. Yeah, I didn't even know

it was a Polish drinking song, so I was very confused. Wait a minute. Are you a poser? I said, that was obviously Polish music. It did not sound Polish.

He even said it. I said, it was a Polish music. It did not sound Polish. He even said it. I said it was a Polish drinking song. I thought you'd like it. And then you doubled down on the- I'm American. I'm American. Not like, hey, thanks for thinking of me. That's a cool song, cool party that you're at.

Like if I'm out- It's a big fuck you. Let's say I'm at 7-Eleven and I see the little station with like the food and there's like a thing of hot dogs. I'll take a photo and I'll send it to Dylan and be like, hey, man. Dylan knows exactly why I'm sending it. If I see a fence that's like, I don't know,

315 down the left field line, I send it to Dylan. I'm like, hey, you know what? You got this, dog. He's going to yank one down the line. This is his thing. Yeah. Sure.

And if I see a cable net sweater with an ample-sized oatmeal turtleneck, I send it to Will. I'm like, hey, dog, you want me to cop for you? That's his thing. I'm American. I'm American. It's almost like when you send texts like that too, it's almost like my phone starts glowing a little bit, like it's an angel. It's just like this beautiful thing. Because I'm like, oh my God, like male friendship is hard to come by as you get older, especially like as you get into your late 30s and early 40s, there's a huge percentage of drop offoff in male friendship.

And so you really have to covet that while you do have it. Every time I see a solar panel out on a barren piece of land, I snap a pic, send it to Brett. Hey, man. I'll be like, hope you're good. Maybe I can add it to the portfolio. Hope you're good. When I see people hanging out by a dumpster,

I immediately just go to Dylan. And I'm like, dude, these are your people. Exactly. Dumpster diving. When I see somebody wearing a graphic t-shirt that they get kicked out of fourth grade for, I think these are your people. Exactly. Dumpster diving. When I see somebody wearing a graphic t-shirt that they'd get kicked out of like fourth grade for, I think of date. Ninth grade.

So I don't know. Yeah, it's weird, man. Hey, thanks for thinking about me. You still haven't addressed. I'm totally for that. Why were you so short? Felt a little empty. Felt a little empty.

My only idea is that you were at some mid to upper level market chain restaurant and you just wanted nothing to do with us in Gary, India. I was at my friend's house and we were playing board games and stuff, having fun. I didn't know it was Polish.

Playing Cellars of Catan? What were you playing? No, no, no. We played some Doomlings and some Quiplash. Then we played a little Mafia. I just don't know these games. Ilings and some Quiplash. Then we played a little Mafia. I just don't know these games. I know. I've heard of Quiplash.

I've heard of Quiplash. That's the one we enjoyed at Breckenridge when – or no, that was Charades. That was Charades. Didn't we – do we play Quiplash there too? I feel like we might have played Quiplash. You type in it. Like there's a TV and it says like – it's like a Mad Lib. And the funniest Mad Lib gets points.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay. And you usually put in something very vul points. Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay. And you usually put in something very vulgar. Got it. Or Dave's case. What's the game where everyone puts a phone on their forehead? That's a fun one. Go what it's called.

There are many versions of it. Rainey probably hates that one too. You try to give him a guess. That was big back in the old W.R. Bowen days. Rest in peace, Ross. He's still around, to be clear. Back when we were all... He's with us.

Pre-kids era. Brett, just to put a bow on this, do you think that there's any way that you'll ever reach out to Randy again on a personal level? Is there a way back from this? I mean, I guarantee you I'm not thinking of Randy when it comes to anything adjacent to his Polish heritage that I see in the wild ever again.

If you see something in American, send it to me. But it was obvious why he sent that. And I'm not Polish at all. And I was like, oh, I know for one, our friend who plays for Utena, very Polish. Sure. And the style of music, the context clues. It's like, oh, he's sending this. And you are the only Polish guy here.

So I just, I feel like you could have given him at least a heart and been like, that's lit. And then it would have been fine. Brett wouldn't have had his weekend run, but now our company is just completely fragmented. I went to El Tiempo at noon the next day to have a lunch mart because I was just simmering.

By himself. Solo. You would have done that anyway. I sure would. Yeah. I missed it. Yeah. I just, I want you would have done that anyway. I sure would. I missed it. I want you guys to work this out. Probably off mic,

probably a conversation to be had. If you guys kiss and make up right now on camera, I think we can all move on from this. Is there a reason you were so sure? Was it me? No, there's no reason. Okay.

Are you even Polish? Yeah. I mean, I'm like fifth generation Polish. I like pierogies. He's a fifth gen. And that's like it. But you still celebrate your heritage, right? A little bit, yeah. Okay.

I guess when I go see the new Wonka movie and he walks out and does his little somersault Wonka roll, I won't take a photo and send it to you, Randy. Because that is famously how you approach women. Well, I can see that and next time i there was even a renaissance fair happening out magnolia way i thought i was gonna text you about it and i i can't i did not text you yeah you're like i don't want to bug my boy too much you would have sent me that i've been like that's lit the older you get the more nervous you get to double text your boys it's like am i being the annoying friend right now just hitting up my squad too much you send that to randy he's just gonna go duh i live in the present yeah cool he's trying to nurture this

friendship randy yeah oh cool it's too far away can't go thanks for sending dickhead that's what that's what you would have said all right disgusting okay thanks for uh giving us the platform guys sorry you guys sold go as well as you thought. Thank you for joining us. I just don't think it's settled yet. I know. But it's okay. We'll see.

What's happening? Has this always done this? No, that's loud. It probably won't be able to hear it. You can feel the spirits in the office being like, resolve this. Please resolve this. You've awakened the spirits. Whenever I see a broken air conditioner ever again,

I'm not going to touch Dave. Yeah, I think that's probably appropriate. We're going to get that guy to come out and do it all himself again? That guy's a dog. That guy's an animal. I kind of liked recording on your couch, though. All right, y'all.

I don't know if we've gotten very far, but we'll update everybody as the day transpires here at wash media hq can you go make sure something's not bad yeah maybe turn off the like heat or something is that what it is is that is that the heater firing you know when you turn on your heater for the first time all like after the summer it smells like you're wearing your house is burning down you're like oh sick sick sick yeah carcinogenic for sure facts all right good stuff man i guess we'll see all right bye brett thanks big sky i like that one i've also been there shut up brett

This comes to us from our good friends at Church Pop.

Church Pop, of course, is Catholic culture that's fun, informative, and inspirational, which I think the modern day Catholic church needs all those things, right? Come on, man. Let's have fun. Anyway, they put up a question and a video, and I'll give a brief summary, and then I'll let Randy play the video, which I did send to him, and he did not respond to with a sure or anything for that matter, but I'm assuming you did get it via Slack. Yeah, sure, Dave. Sure. Okay, thanks.

It says here in bold, is Taylor Swift summoning demons on the Heiress Tour? Exorcist issues warning. Okay. It says, as Swift performs the song Willow from her Evermore album, the singer and her dancers dress in black capes and dance with orbs. Elements of earth and fire are also a central part of the performance. Let's hear what our guy has to say here. I believe this is from

a priest who dabbles in the demonic, mainly on the good side of it. Why does this guy look like Al Borland? The goatee is, this isn't doing much for the modern church, I will say. Let's hear it. Hey, Randy, can we get some audio, my dude? Sure. growing religion and what do they do? They're trying to harness energy and they look at the earth with the elements of water, fire, earth, and sky. They believe that they can harness this energy

in some ways to do good and in some ways to do evil. The problem with the concert is that whether Taylor knew she was trying to imitate witches or in fact was doing some kind of occult ceremony during the show is sort of irrelevant to the demons. She is an incredibly talented and influential artist, so the demons will take deep note of what she's doing and how she's doing it and who she's influencing. When they imitate these rituals with these orbs and these black capes that looks like something you'd find in the woods, even if her intent was not

to practice any witchcraft or do any of the incantations she is probably attracting a lot of demons to her concerts that's where the problem can lie because then you have these little girls who you know literally sort of worship her who are now putting themselves in a position where they could be attacked by demonic forces not saying that's going to happen to everybody but you're definitely putting yourself in a very dangerous situation if you're going to a concert with somebody who's imitating or even practicing the art of witchcraft. I would say don't do it. Skip the concert. I got to say, my biggest issue with this, and I can make this point as a Catholic, the assumption that it's only little girls going to the show.

I mean, if they're worried about Taylor Swift, if they're worried about like cults and stuff at Taylor Swift concerts, I got bad news for you. It's the largest cult there is right now. He says you're definitely putting yourself in harm's way there. I agree. Like there's no doubt about it. You're definitely going to be around demonic forces. There's going to be some demons in that bit.

Has this guy ever like thought of concerts that aren't taylor swift concerts that might be like a little more inappropriate in terms of i don't know summoning demons such as like guar like he went to a guar show no one's going to guar would his head explode yes he's speaking up about guar or that i feel like that i think the issue here is that taylor swift like you wouldn't think of it but like you go to a guar show you know you're fucking with some demons what was that one band we were talking about slipknot no no cannibal corpse i can't cannibal corpse i come blood is he aware of cannibal course have you seen the video goes around it's it's them on stage and the guy intro and that particular song that randy referenced and the two security guards

like look at each other because he he intros a song before the music starts and and screams that and they're like what the fuck it's really good you're andy's seen it i've seen it he's very online i have to say and will you were at the show also honestly you might have been more exposed you went to the show in vegas right yeah that seems That seems a little bit. There's a lot of demons in Vegas. Hella demons. Yeah, yeah. A lot of skeletons and a lot of closets there.

You know, going to the Vegas show is interesting because it was so early on in the tour. It was like stop number two or three that I don't feel like we had. I don't know if she had fully fledged out like everything with the tour. So I don't know if she had properly summoned the demons at that point. I don't know if the demons travel either. I'm not really sure how demons get from point a to point b but you would think that kind of like deadheads and stuff maybe the demons would kind of follow her from location to location so they only get larger and larger as you go yeah so you got to think you're trying to say i got larger

demon action yeah my show yeah yeah you're you are the demon the The original demon. That's ridiculous. Oh, man. This stuff is so loony. So are you just feeling like you're just like some just like clean angel over there, Dylan? You know what? Yeah. I feel very non-demonic at the moment because I haven't been to any of these concerts. Hey, sorry to all the Christians out there.

Dylan thinks you're loony. I guess that's not what I take away from the segment, Randy. I don't know. I think that video Brett sent me was summoning demons, too. The Polish jam band was not summoning demons. I don't know what they were singing about.

American. You think the Kubiak family was up to some demonic shit? That's what you're trying to say? I don't know, man. I heard that song. I wanted to summon some different kind of spirits. Might be a little dust on the bottle. I think he's talking about drinking liquor. Fuck yeah. Don't let it fool you about what's inside. Does this sound

song demonic to you? Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind. Yeah. They count me out time and time again. Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind yeah they count me out time and time again life was a willow and it bent right to your wind but i come back stronger than a 90s trend i don't know about you guys but i want to drink blood and eat skin right now i've been saying we should eat some skin sure have y'all ever seen the movie willow randy no my boys always had a joke about willow when we

were younger and i always i never i never actually watched it why was that like a running bit that people like made fun of will i think it's just it's just a little absurd i'm unfamiliar but whip your hair back and forth as it is a bop willow smith randy knows i whip my hair back and forth yeah we know the exact song you're referencing. Sure. Whip my hair back and forth. That's not good. It's not.

Sure. Dylan, would you like to take us to the space bar real quick? I would. I kind of forgot that we were going to the space bar today. Yeah, I kind of forgot about it too. All right, listen, Randy, I'm going to send you an image that I would like for you to display for the people, if you don't mind. There is a new aircraft dropped, and its first flight is set for uh sometime in 2024 it's been a long time coming the lockheed martin x59 it's a it's a nasa collab

thank you it's a it's a nasa and lockheed you, they work together. They made this – you got it, man? Is this the hottest new collab? The X-59 is an aircraft that flies at supersonic speed, but a quiet supersonic speed. Somehow they've engineered this thing to quiet the sonic boom effect. Anyway – Wow, that's like the most dope part. I know, right? But if you're – like the Concorde concord for example was a very fast aircraft

it's no longer in production or in use very loud aircraft this one apparently is much quieter now obviously you can see the design of it it's not yet you know built to transport numerous people but it flies from new york to london 90 minutes, an hour and a half. Okay, question. If there's no boom, how do you know the boys from the south are coming? Yeah, I don't know how to answer that question. Okay. There is, I mean, there is a boom effect, but they've found a way to muffle it, I guess.

I don't really know. I watched a video about this. The boom effect is all directed towards the top and not the bottom. So that's like a really loud boom, like into the sky, but the noise doesn't really travel down below. Dylan, didn't you say when things are top-centric for you that you sonic boom? I did. I did say that. Yeah.

So that was meant to be just a private conversation. You don't have to worry about getting on this. I just read they don't allow boomers on it. I'm a millennial just like you, dog. Anyway, look at the design of this thing. It looks fast. So this thing is supposed to carry passengers and not military.

This is an experimental flight. This thing doesn't look very much fun to fly in. From what I've read is that after this flight, it's a community okay used to collect community response they want to see how people handle all this basically and then they'll obviously the next design will be made for you know passenger transport because this carries like like two pilots i think what do you mean how people handle it i don't know that's

what okay the x-59 will be used to collect community response data on the acceptability of a quiet sonic boom generated by the unique design of the aircraft probably people on board how they handle someone's gonna crap their pants straight up it's a it's a fast sob you better wear a diaper in this thing make messy and your nappy anyway it's kind of it's kind of sick man i really don't want i really don't want messy nappy to make bit madness would you hop on this john i'm going if i'm going across the pond again i kind of like to enjoy the flight i don't need 90 minutes don't disagree with glaring lack of boom like if there's a boom yeah i want to be a part of that boom normally being on a flight for you know six seven eight hours is not very fun but when you go into

a dope location it's kind of fun i almost coming back if you're flying from new york it's almost easier to go to new york than it is to go like or from new york to london than it is to go or new york to like other places i think getting from new york to cabo actually takes longer than it would just to get a direct flight from new york to. People in New York just don't go to Cabo, I think. I think it's just an absolute bitch to get to those places. Moving to Austin has made me realize how nice it is to live in Texas that has pretty decent flights pretty much everywhere. Two hours in a plane. That's all it takes. The longest flight we take from Austin... The longest flight I take from Austin is to New York,

and it's like four hours, and it feels like forever. Yeah. What is the main source of fuel um that i don't know dude hate that i don't know this thing just runs on the odds don't we have a lockheed plug or i'm not supposed to share that do we have a lockheed plug so i don't think we outed anybody okay i think we're yeah we think we can go to hop on yeah his name is martin dude my in anyway kind of exciting news it makes you to see what happens here so does this touch space just reach out and touch space no i think i don't think this is for space travel i mean it looks like it could fuck with space though doesn't it looks if you if you point that nose up and you probably get get somewhere, you know what I mean? Okay.

Anyway, we'll keep an eye on it. Okay, keep an eye on it. Keep an eye on it. Keep your eye to the sky. It's time for This Weekend in Fun, presented by our friends over at Alpha Romeo. We're talking about that new Tenale, baby. It's an all-new whip. You gotta go check it out.

It's loaded with all the tech. Large touchscreen. It's got that safety tech. The automatic emergency braking. That's just big for the entire squad, even the people in front of you. But more than anything, these Alfa Romeo Tenales are just fun to drive. We got to have one in the studio, or I guess parked outside of the studio for a little bit, and we got to whip around in this thing. It's just so much fun. It's got the plug-in hybrid technology, the freedom to choose between gas and electric, 32 miles all electric, 360 miles total range. But more than anything, it's got that beautiful Italian exterior and interior design. Go check these out. Learn more about the Alfa Romeo Tonale at alfaromeousa.com. Again, learn more about the Alfa Romeo

Tonale at alfaromeousa.com. Dylan, what are you getting into this weekend? Thanks for asking. We all keep mine short, as I have very little planned. Friday, Saturday, you're pretty much wide open. I will be watching a lot of football on Saturday, though. A lot of important football games going on. Big 12 championship game. What time is that game going on?

I think 11. I think 11. I'm not exactly sure. I probably should know that by now. Texas loses. then what happens? That's going to be... They'll get a bowl. They'll get Missouri, right? They'll probably have a bunch of guys

skip out on the bowl game and that kind of thing will happen. Portal. Open for a win, and then if some things fall their way, fingers crossed, maybe a college football playoff berth. What's it going to take to keep Arch out of the portal? He's not going anywhere, Davey.

I've heard that – I heard Mizzou has already offered him naming rights for the St. Louis Arch. Really? Mm-hmm. That's a good play. If any state is going to do something like that, it would be Missouri right now. Sunday I get Parks and –

What? What? Nothing. They've got an aggressive NIL system going. Mike has told me all about it numerous times might take parks and his buddies to this um it's like an arcade slash like um laser tag situation is that it's not blazer tag it's not a laser tag but he's been there a couple times recently you should take him to a gwar concert yeah probably won't okay dude there's

no way guar is still performing that's all i got i don't know guar might still be performing dude i mean their their wikipedia page talks about them in the present randy definitely listened to guar at some point mock 1.4 is at the speed that plane travels i forgot to mention that 925 miles i'm more of a mock three guy got three blades check it out yeah i thought when when razor company started going from three blades to four blades i was like all right we're going a little too far here you don't need that all those blades i think gillette at one point tried to go five and it was like dude three's just fine a lot of blades yeah for most people

one's just fine yeah did you ever see blade i think i saw blade 2 in theaters wesley snipes it always looked sick i never actually watched one all the way through it just looked like badass vampire shit is that what that pic that means from he's i don't know he point that click clack at somebody i don't think that's right okay because looks very futuristic. He didn't take any gun safety lessons, I see. No. Unless he was intending on shooting. He got that click clack out on him. A blicky.

The blicky blicky? I don't know what you guys are talking about. You're looking at me right now like, hey Dave, what wild, what crazy event are you attending? You might be attending a crazy event this weekend. Well, I can't go out this weekend. Why? Are you too too

busy staying at home building a relationship with your business i'm building a relationship with my son um yeah we're just kind of kind of waiting kind of waiting on this old uh on this old boy do you think do you think if you have a baby this weekend and you text the squad about it how do you think randy's going to respond to it he probably won't he'll probably leave the conversation thumbs down it you're like all right well you already have one why do you need more that was from new jack city that meme that you were thinking of oh thank you for that i used to call you old jack city did not know i don't respond it's because you're old yeah i know i get it that's the joke i am quite old dave's right behind me though don't you fucking call to remind people of that don't you chill

um just just kind of waiting i mean i don't know i don't know if this means like if like somebody hits me up with like a nice lunch invite like hey i'm gonna go have a drink and get lunch okay i don't know if this precludes me from going i don't know if i'm a bad guy you can't get annihilated though no i can't get annihilated can't get faded you're a selfish teammate i do have to maintain my hydration properly how are the nerves going in number two versus number one uh it's funny you say that because my answer a week ago would have been, I don't have any nerves, not really, you know, I'm obviously not doing the heavy lifting.

Um, but I have not slept well this week and I find myself waking up randomly just with minor bouts of just like, I don't know. Get used to it, brother. I know. Get used to it, brother. It falls under the normal but i'm not like sitting here like oh no like we've we're we're very prepared and you know been through the process i'm not worried about you and we're not dealing with

covid protocol like we were last time which is nice you're also not like a shithead in general so i think you'll be a good dad too like generally you're a pretty good guy you're fine thank you yeah yeah you're okay sure sure sure sure can you beat that no no no no as a as a father of two um and uh you know no i can't beat that david um i had big i had big big ideas for this weekend huge ideas really last weekend i had to cancel several plans because of a sick child. Not a great way to spend your long weekend at home. While relaxing, it was just a little tense. And so this weekend, I was like, oh, I'm going to run this weekend.

I'm going to get out there. I'm going to do stuff. And guess what? I've made zero plans to do so. Hey, Daddy's free, man. I'm just going to throw that out there. I would like to hang out with my friend Will DeFries. Luckily, luckily for me, I get to spend Saturday night watching the Big Ten Championship game alone at my place while my children sleep because my wife is going out with her friends.

And so I get to really have fun during that game. Really looking forward to that. You might be sleeping too the way Iowa plays offense, right? Over under.5 touchdowns for Iowa in that game. I don't know. I don't really care. Probably a lot.

No, over-under is.5. It doesn't look good for them. It's over. They're going to get smoked. So, okay, I have a question for you guys, okay? So the crew that's going out is partially Sally's sisters

and partially some friends, okay? So my brother-in-law, Drew, he's got two kids. He's going to be at home alone, not babysitting, being a dad to his children. And so he's going to want... And then we have another brother-in-law, Ryan, who I'd like to invite over to my place for the game to hang out. But Ryan has two invites out there right now, one from me and one from Drew swing how do i get the swing here because i don't know what to do like i don't want to totally like screw over drew's night and have him sit alone i will say that last time they went out ryan went over to drew's place so i feel like

i should be able to acquire the brother-in-law for this you just have uh have a few beers ready to go and then also just a big tray of chicken flautas if i i did go flautas at taco flats recently david they were pretty freaking good as he as he put the word out that he's on the fence he's got these two invites staring at no no so a group text made things icy and he's never he hasn't responded to it yet yeah he's randying the situation no he's doing what i would do in this situation which is be non-committal until the last minute. And so I just don't want to mentally set myself up to have a compatriot on Saturday night at my crib only to have him bow out at the last minute and go to my other brother-in-law's house. So I'm really trying to win this battle, but I don't want to play dirty yet. I kind of hope he bails on both of y'all and does something real baller.

That's the thing. He should just bail on both of us because he's doing us way more of a favor than we're doing him. Drew's got that 95-inch flatty on the wall. Yeah, I know. He does. It's the biggest TV I've ever seen. But you can't match my cozy vibes during a Big Ten championship game. You've got a lot to offer, too. I'm not saying that. I've got the wood fireplace,

not gas. Sorry, Drew. I've got a liquor cabinet full of high-end alcohol that I just don't drink. So that's all UFG up for grabs. Take a page from Dylan's Super Bowl party book. Have a big thing of hummus. Peppers.

Yeah. I could get a big thing of hummus, a big vat of hummus. There you go. You know what? This thing's trending well. Keep us updated, man. I will keep you guys updated. It's my biggest stressor going into the weekend.

Dude, just honestly be like, hey, I'm going to get a bunch of fucking wings over here. I got a bunch of red stripes. I don't know if the Red Wings have a game that night. All right. That'd be sick if the Red Wings just came over and watched the Michigan game. You could quad box it or dual box it.

Dual box it or dual box it dual box it no comment sorry that was a lipa that's pretty good dude you're cooking it's the same we got to close this thing out it is a shame it is a shame it is a shame so yeah you know i'll i will keep you guys updated on on my my acquisition of brother-in-laws over in my crib because it's a lot riding on this. What if there's a dark horse? What if I somehow get him off? Dude, that'd be great. I know it'd be less upsetting knowing that like I'm not the odd man out in the brother-in-law. I might invite him to Kelly's or something.

You should. You should, honestly. Like that sounds great. I want to send a group text pic of just it's just me and just like – just sitting next to each other on the couch just watching football. Yeah. I mean, Kelly's is in play this weekend. They have a new Sunday roast that I'm very interested in. I heard you talking about that.

I don't know how good it is. They didn't put the roast beef up on the Instagram. They just put like the other stuff, and it didn't look as good. So we need the beef to really bring it here for the Kelly's Sunday roast. They need to lower their prices on Guinness. What's a Guinness go for? Any guesses? $9.

Really? $9. Oh, my God. They know how good they have it there. Ever since they saw that people were sticking their finger in the head. Why are people doing that? That's crazy. I really wish you would tell me because you're the one who sent it.

I have a big gripe. You guys know Guinness is my number one beer, right? I think I know that. I have a huge gripe with them that their cans underfill the official Guinness pint glasses. That is a problem. Why not just make it perfect?

Why not just make it so it perfectly has a good pour? You can't play the guinness game at home with it especially since like not many beers have like their own pint glass like that i know that makes sense like what just give me two extra ounces i'll pay extra money for it honestly that's facts hang on dylan sent me something on slack perfect cans dot mov is this i saw my hands i didn't do listen to dave with the file types is this i saw my hands i didn't do listen to dave with the file types dot what mov it's a quick time huh yeah i'm old school like that y'all sure let's go all right sure well maybe we'll link this weekend maybe we won't i could i could swing kelly's okay okay

i'll be in touch let's rock it uh to anyone out there who has uh you know posted uh your spotify wrapped was circling back on it i want to give you guys a very heartfelt thank you it's pretty i know spotify wrapped can be a little annoying on on social media feeds because so many people are reposting and posting things that only they care about but it is cool to see how many people listen to us and uh taking our content week after week. It is awesome. Should we post ours? Yeah. We'll post our Individu on the main feed. Okay. But I'll be reposting everyone. If you post us, I'll be reposting you from the circling back feed.

Just know that. That's facts. Anything else, guys? I don't believe so. All right. It's been fun. It's been real. I'm American.

Bye. Sure.
