Ranchos, metal ranchos, Mattel Ranchos Oh, wow. Wow. That is just a truly crazy thing that happened right before this podcast started. My name is Dave,

welcome to the circling back podcast Thursday. And I'm feeling good. You look good. I got to wrap my squad. Slovenia. They didn't qualify. Before you asked. Who do our boys have out first?

Do we know? Who's our boys? Like you care. We mean our. You don't even support them. The United States men's national team. Guess. I want you to guess.

There's a lot of countries you could guess. Spain. I don't know how it works. Spain? Is it Australia? Paraguay. Paraguay. My next guest was going to be Paraguay.

Tomorrow night, a Friday night game, which is actually kind of dope. I'll be watching the College World Series probably. No offense to our boys. No, I'll tune back and forth. I'll just do double box. Don't make it too. Now you're first off. Do you have multi-view? Do you have that access, that tech?

I have the tech. You have YouTube TV? I do. Are they the only service offering that? Probably not, but I don't know. I can't speak to the other ones. I'll speak to the producer today, Randall Trumbacky. Hi, Dave.

His last show of the week before he goes out of town. True, true. I'll just someone in the chat says excited to hear some terrible Dylan World Cup takes today Well you didn't have to wait long I didn't issue a single take It was just the take

But you can extract from that Is that he's gonna watch it I'm gonna watch it He's gonna follow it Expectations are not high Because we just don't perform in this On this stage Generic obvious take

Our women do They ball out I'm excited to be here, Dave. Who are we throwing tomorrow? I'm talking about the Rangers. I'm trying to see where I'm my attention is going to be.

And I'll be falling in it. Well, good, Randall. Good. Yep, we do have, I'm going to say off the top of the episode this time because I keep on saying it at the end of the episode. Sunday, tune in to Retail Therapy podcast for Barrett and Dylan and Dave talking summer fashion.

That's right. Get a little more of the boys this weekend. Should be fun. I know you can't get in. enough of us. Well, there's more calling, buddy. Let me tell you. Don't let anybody tell you we don't do a lot of shows because we do a lot of shows. According this afternoon. I'm excited. Most of my questions are golf related and I don't, I'm trying to, I'm trying to diversify my question portfolio because like, I don't, I don't, I don't, bear doesn't play a ton of golf. I know he's,

he's aware of golf. He plays when he can. Yeah. But I just have a ton of questions. I just have a ton of questions related to Tommy Fleetwood, what he's trying to do out there. Maybe I'll stick to it. Maybe I'll, I'm going to holster these, keep him for the show so people tune in. But check that out. They've been talking a little golf fashion on retail therapy. So I think he's adequate. He has the proper tools to help you out there.

Not surprised. Dylan Shivery. Very excited to be here. The Florida Gators have released renderings of, they're going to renovate Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, a.k.a. the swamp. I got to say it looks dope. So props to them This is a

Florida is one of those programs I don't have any I'm just very indifferent to her I don't I don't hate them at all Don't like them don't anything I'm just like there's there what's their what's their big 12 comp Ooh that's a great question They're big 12 comp

Because they've been a their successful program Yeah Both sports Um Multiple sports I should say There's more than two Gosh What about their big 10

Would it like Michigan State be a good one? No, the better than that. I don't know why I did that. No offense. No, I don't think so, Randy, but actually, well, hold on. Penn State? Feels like they, they've been.

Oregon? Oregon. No, because Florida has won. No offense to Oregon. They never won an addy. I don't know. Okay. We'll get there. Big 12, maybe it was a little top heavy at times.

Yeah. Competitive, yeah, top heavy. Now they're run by Texas Tech. I mean, what are you going to do? The latest PR strategy from tech is interesting. Not a bad one, but interesting. In this rendering, they have double-decker luxury boxes around the entire stadium. Well, not the entire, except for one of the end zones.

How much is tuition going to go up? I don't know. I think this is government funded. Government funded. Yes. Also, the capacity is not increasing, by the way. It's a public school, right? It's a public school.

I don't know how the funds. I don't know how that funding works. Well, once you figure it out and then get back to us by the end of the show. Randy had a tie, a bow tie. Why don't you figure out how state funding works for public universities? I will look it up. Okay. Apparently it's a one point something billion dollar project.

Big, big changes. It was already cool. The swamp was dope. One if they ever, uh, one if they found a promo code for like the builder and used it. Use promo code, steam for 10% off steel. 10% off, yeah, all... One-time use code? All labor.

You gotta buy it in bulk. Yeah, all labor. You gotta load that card, hoss. One-time-ish, guys. Maybe it's lutes 20 for 20% off. Is it... Oh, no, that's rowback. Question.

No, this is dumb. Are they keeping... What are they going to do to the old stadium? Like, how my... Is this just a renovation or just a brand new thing? Do that college programs, they don't level and rebuild. They just add on. That would probably be very difficult to do.

I mean, like... DKR has gone through like numerous renovations. Yeah, they don't, they don't, they don't like level and start from new. That's just the NFL. Yeah. New stadium going up in, where is that? Northwest Indiana, I think. Still weird.

Not for sure, right? I don't know. Seems like it. I don't care. Shouts to the Gators, man. I do care. I do care. I just, I have a weird, uh, I have a weird dream.

Or my, my, I want all teams to play in like, the, the downtown portion of their, the town they have on their helmet. It's tough to find real estate. Even though I don't really, I mean, like Chicago, there's a great chance I never go to a pair's game. I just, I would like knowing that they're going to be in there. I don't know where Soldier Field was. It was right by the museums. Okay. Of course, the Gators come to Austin this year.

They gave Texas that L in Gainesville last year. Yeah. That's the one that held them out of the playoff. Dude, every time I go to the gym, everyone just calls it Gainesville because I'm just in there putting up big weight. I'm sorry. Has that ever happened? It's not, not once. Literally not once.

I just, you know. But the locker, I'm sorry, the weight room for Florida, it better say Gainesville, like, like spelled, you know. I'd have no problem with that. Without the E. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. It was cool.

They should get rid of all of the weights under 40 pounds, all the dumbbells. Yes. So if you go in there and you're looking to, I don't know, warm up with a lighter weight, nope. No, no, no, no, no. That ain't it. That ain't it. Say goodbye to that rotator cuff, buddy.

You're right. But I'm not, it's not on me.

It's on you. I'm tapping the brakes. From what I saw after the pod on Randy's bow tie, I'm not worried, but I'm like trending worried. You're a little bearish on it. I couldn't tell that you had fit, you, the, I didn't feel what they called? There was only three folds and not four.

Did you figure it out? So you missed a crucial step? Yeah, yeah. Sally explained to me. She tied it on me and then she brought me in the mirror and said, this is how you do it. It was a little different than the guy did it. And like, that I went home and did it.

I think it looked good. So I think I'm ready to go. And I have, not to spoil this weekend of fun, I have put the clip on bow tie as a reserve in my duffel bags. Shaking my head. Dude, when Sally tied it, it was like the best bow tie I've ever seen. She was perfect. It was really good.

She must have been in a sorority. She knows what the hell she's doing. I wonder if she, ooh, I wonder if Will, she ties wills. She does.

This is, of course, about the Spurs next game last night. Dude, watching basketball is a miserable experience for me, and it has been for a long time.

That's why I don't typically, college of basketball is worse than NBA when it comes to the streaks, the runs that teams go on. it's a weird feeling because the spurs were literally up 29 points with under 10 minutes to go in the third quarter and I didn't feel comfortable about it like why is that why is that inside what's going on inside me that tells me don't start celebrating yet this is a massive massive lead in the final you were right you had a good intuition there's never come back from a from a lead this big in the finals ever why why was I feeling like unsure about it it's it's a miserable context clues The Spurs have had double-digit leads in every single game of the finals so far. That's one reason why you didn't feel good last night. Right. Another reason is they're very young.

We mentioned that they can't close out these games. Correct. They are very young. They're very inexperienced. However, their most experienced starter last night, Deeran Fox played the worst among the five guys on the court for the Spurs. He was a turnover machine. Hit a big shot during the run. and you're like, okay.

Oh, God. It was. Yeah, I, to the generic statement, to say, I've never seen anything like it, it would be true. But you've seen leads get blown before, but that, so when you watch a team, like, go up in the first half big because they're just hitting everything or they're shooting lights out from three, you're like, okay, you know, it's not sustainable. Not sustainable. You see it all the time. But, like, okay, if they just play a smart half and continue to play. great defense, which they did the entire first half, incredible defense. You can see, you know the

Knicks are going to make a run. It's a finals. Team's going to make a run. A couple runs, probably. But just the low IQ basketball that was played in the last 10 minutes at fourth quarters, it was incredible. You're watching like, okay, the spurs getting the penalty pretty early in the fourth, if I'm not mistaken. And in the middle of that run, you know, it's like an eight-point game. And you're like, all right, well, you're in the penalty. Just go to the rack, get a foul, go to the line, winning it at the line that's how you're gonna whatever and they're just they're just continue to shoot threes early in the shot clock threes there's two or three possessions and like what i feel like was like a two or three minute stretch where they just went down there and like

everybody was going for a kill shot and it's like dude i just what are you doing the the the heavy reliance on the three is i can't stand it when my team when you have a guy who's eight feet tall i can't stand the the three the constant threes in the first half obviously it was working They were shooting lights out, like you said. And so hence the big lead. Yeah. But man, when you're up by almost 30 points in the second half, why you keep chucking these threes up?

Like, do something different. I mean, go to the pain. It feels like everybody wants that moment where it's like, I hit the big shot, stop the run. I'm the one who, you know, won the game for us. The only points they get in the paint is off of a putback or a lob pass to Wimby. They don't have, they don't have like a traditional. post game it does not exist for the spurs no they don't have that player i mean they have the guy who's capable of doing it but he's he's not developed that part of part of his game yet he will i also think

it's his his linkiness like a big body like cat or they have that some other they have some other backups who are big body centers too and they just i don't know like wimby can't he can't back them down um yeah so yeah that was that was tough i was watching it as like a neutral party, although it was pulling for the spurs. I was like, it's weird. I have this weird relationship with that Knicks team where their ratio is off. And I just devise this ratio. I don't have a name for you.

It's the team to fan ratio, meaning like how cool, like how much I enjoy the team, the actual players on the team versus how much I enjoy the fan base, which is a weird way to like look at games like this. But when your team's not in it and your team's like in rebuilding mode, it's, it's, It's like, okay, I got to figure out a rooting interest. There's not like an ex-Mav on either of those teams outside of Brunson. And the Brunson stuff, that's just a reminder of like terrible, terrible GMing and ineptitude there. But whatever.

That being said, the team itself on the Knicks, I love. Just those guys, they don't have anybody who really bothers me. They have, they made a, their GM is great. They went and got, what's his name, Alvarado from the Pelicans, like a few months ago. great pickup. He's a dog. He's the kind of guy you need to win a series like this. But then social media and just the fandom and like seeing some of the worst people on the planet in the first three rows. Yeah, I did. They threw eggs at Wembe last night. Yeah, it's horrible. And you don't want those people to be happy. Even though that's not, you know, I know it's not indicative of the entire. I know not every Nick fan would have thrown an egg at Wemby. I understand that.

When you see that, you're like, damn, dude, there's really not another fan base that acts like this. Philly fans get the bad rap because it's, you know, they had the moment with Santa Claus or whatever. And they're, they're just generally obnoxious. But like, at least Philly fans are kind of fun. Like, I've never seen Philly fans, like, trying to jump opposing players outside the stadium. I know, I know there's other fan bases that will do shitty things. And this isn't like my entire way of looking at it. But it's just like when you open Twitter and like after a game and all you're seeing is like,

like some dude trying to like go to his car like you know probably go to the subway he didn't drive to the game and his spur and it's like David Robinson jersey and he's just getting he's surrounded by like the cast from the movie kids and they're just like you know and harassing him and like assaulting it's like okay I don't want this group of guys to be happy it's but the team itself is is fun and like I love Jalen Brunson as a dude um an Annobe was awesome like sick that dude's been an absolute killer man he's i mean probably is he not your MVP like oh he has to be even if you take away that that put back with you know at the end he's a two way player which was a phenomenal play he is i think he only missed two threes last night he was like six of eight something like that yeah he's just been

an absolute killer he's so so that being said like that ratio you're like oh man fan bay is real annoying and like also like hey there's a there's a there's a there's a guy who's accused of uh there's guy who's in the Epstein files. There's another guy. Oh, there's another guy in the Epstein files. Right there, right there. That guy sucks. That guy probably defrauded his investors. Oh, he did. Okay, cool. You got some cool young. I know that. You got, like, you got Shalames out there. He's, he's a very likable guy. I love Ben Stiller. They've got, they've got, Sandler was down there. Larry David was sitting there. They've got some, some, some, some fans that I do love. Yeah. But yeah. So you're like,

It's the casuals who are they seem to be I don't know man It's gotten ugly on the streets That game was weird That first half it felt very contentious Like not only between the teams Between the fans and the refs Because there were some

First of all the first quarter took an hour and a half It was the longest first quarter you'll ever see And there's some calls Everything was getting reviewed There's some bad calls Definitely going against the Knicks And you're like Is this about the turn like ugly

And then you're like well wait Everybody got paid like 20 grand to get in here. So like there was, you know what I'm saying? Like no one's going to fuck up too bad, right? And luckily it didn't come to that. But you always want, I have to wonder if like the spurs run off three in a row, what happens to what happens to Manhattan?

What are they going to react? I don't think that's going to happen. I think the collapse of last night's game is almost impossible as a player to like come back from or as a team to come back from. It's such a gut punch. It's like, man, we had that won the entire time until the last minute. Yeah. And even like, Fox had that breakaway steel.

There's like 12 seconds left. Dribble it out, man. He was running from the grind. You're up one. He's running from the free throw line. He was scared. He didn't want that to. So he said, I'm just going to go for it here.

He dribbles that out. First of all, he's the fastest player on the court. Yes. He could at least get that down to like five, six, seven seconds and go to the line. I don't know. He just was in his head. He just, he wanted to put it away. Insane turnover.

like we mentioned earlier. And crazy. Crazy. That was a tough watch. Very, very just poorly coached and young team. And here's the thing. The Spurs, the obvious thing to say is like they're not ready. Every team has to take their lumps.

This is their first run. So they're going to be back on a run. But getting back to the finals, man, I don't know. It's not a given. If they find a way to close that game out, it's 2-2, and they have home court advantage to look forward to. You've got two games left in San Antonio. Yeah.

Like you're in a great spot. The vibe at the gym this morning, because it's Spurs Nation at the gym, was tough. There's a lot of, there's a lot of empty spots in that lot. And I was like, in my head, I was like, are people just fucking depressed? Not getting out of bed? Because I would be. If I had been a Mavs, I'd be. I was pissed off until I went to bed.

You should have been. It sucked, man. What else? I wonder, I need to know if Taylor Swift was there during Wutang, if she stayed in her seat during Wutang at halftime. Dude, I saw some people giving Taylor Swift shit because she's not from New York and like, you're not a fan. Apparently she is like an actual fan. There are pictures of her like throughout her life wearing Nick shit. So how many people there are actually from New York?

Yeah, I don't know. It was, I don't think I've ever seen a celebrity contingent quite like that. Jalo said in an interview recently you had to be born in one of the five burrows to be a New Yorker. Yeah. Okay. I don't really care. It doesn't really matter to me. I like to visit sometimes.

I don't know what her connection is. Sorry, not J-Lo, but Taylor's flip to the next. She was in New York when Hollywood hated her. Okay. Is that a lyric? It's a lyric, yeah. What song? Be my New York when Hollywood hates me.

Oh. I don't know what the actual song is called. Scooter Braun and Sweens were there, but they were about 12 rows back. Yeah. Still expensive seats, of course. Yeah, I guess. I'm supposed to not like Scooter Braun. I don't really know the deal there.

He was sitting behind Swift, which, you know, there's a big beef there. Yeah, I heard him talking about it. It was the beef, like, on an interview. And I was like, all right, I really don't have context here. Something about the publishing rights on a record. Exactly. He bought, like, a label. I don't know.

Elizabeth Taylor was the song. Oh, there you go, Randy, good pull. Mm-hmm. The funny, the best thing the Spurs can do for America and for society is just, just lay down, let the Knicks win it in San Antonio, save Manhattan, because that place is going to get torn down if they win it at the garden.

Yeah. So just don't put up a fight. Let them win it in San Antonio. It's... The Spurs are definitely... They're good enough to win this series. Like, they can match up with the Knicks. They just can't fucking close.

They're playing stupid basketball down the stretch. It's so frustrating. This is on the coach, man. They need Kyrie. Any more veteran presence. Then you put Harrison Barnes out there in the last five minutes. He can post

He's not a center But he's a he's Heirs and Barnes A very adequate At least be smart You know he won't like He won't make the dumb ass mistakes Former Maverick

I should say yeah There is a former Maverick On that Spurs game Uh yeah man What else It's just It's a very odd thing Because before the game

We're talking about The Watch parties And the mayor versus NYPD Who can beware Who's lying It's just like Damn

This is a lot There's a lot of shit going on. And shout out for that, shout out to the Knicks for not falling into all the distractions. Wemby, one flagrant foul away from getting suspended. That's a storyline. Yeah. He needs to chill out. The one last night didn't look like it was intentional at all, though.

I guess anytime you make contact with a face, they have to call it. Is that the deal? That happened to the third, right? I didn't see it because I'd switched over to watch Neil from Nolan, you know, play Shinnacle. He was kind of bringing his arm over to clear out from Cat and just caught his jaw. He immediately apologized. It was not intentional. But, yeah, you don't want that guy getting suspended for a game in the finals.

No, you don't. Yeah, watching this as a Madd's fan. I'm like, damn, there was a time where I would have been, like, laughing at my Nick or my Spurs fans, friends. But, like, since I was kind of pulling for this, but I'm like, I just, I genuinely, just kind of feel bad. Even though like the Spurs, like everybody I know that's a Spurs fan

has seen a ton of a ton of great basketball on their day. But it's tough. You never want to be like the, on the wrong end of the worst comeback or the biggest comeback

in NBA history. That being said, opportunity to come back when three in a row. A little opportunity here. It would be. I haven't won one in San Antonio yet, but you go back,

you win game five, go back to the garden. maybe maybe they're throwing the parade a little early steal one there got a game seven he's one game at a time Dylan yeah

you sound really confident no I'm not this series is over this series is over you shouldn't be sorry I got distracted because Texas AG Ken Paxson sent a formal letter to the Big 12

threatening legal action if they were to sanction Texas Tech sanction them threatening legal action against the Big 12 if they were to sanction Texas Tech over its support of this is from On3 so I don't know if it's worded in the correct way but that's what they said yeah it could get really ugly if they try to if Big 12 teams try to boycott games with Tech which I don't think they would I don't think they would actually do that but if they did tech tech would absolutely have the right to sue them and like this would be like an ugly drawn out it would be in Junction City which would be kind of fun. I don't know. Junction. Junction. What's your function?

Yeah. You understand? Sure. Yeah. Another sick pull from Randall. Anything else on the Spurs? No. Good season, guys. Go get them next year. Wow. He's already counting them out, man. That's crazy. Oh, like you're not. I don't even think that. Yeah, I don't know, man.

Have you watched the same? slowmo of the final play of the game. Cat tips the inbound play. Otherwise, there's like contested, but there is a lob play to Castle at the basket. It would take a great inbound pass, but like, there's a chance there. There's a chance. So there you go. It's a great chance I pull out my Meridian putter this weekend. Weather permitting. This episode's brought to you by our good friends. There it is. Meridian putter. I'll go get it. I'll get it. You. You tell them about the Meridian Putter. The Mother's Day's coming up, dude.

No, pointer. Pointer. That's the index finger, right? Is it? Yeah. Yeah. What's this finger? Ring finger?

Yeah, come all, man. Whatever. Come on, man. Doesn't matter. You have the NASSaw. The NASSaw. Went out to the, my, the course closest to my home a couple days ago and just rolled it a little bit. Rolled it.

Rolled it. Somebody asked, because I threw the head cover down and they'd never seen the head cover. And I told them, that's a meridian. Like, I hadn't seen it before. So I told them about it. It was an older fella. Telling us that new is. Yeah.

I didn't let him put with it because I just, I don't, I'm not going to let you do that. You got to go check it out. But maybe he's listening. Maybe I did give him the promo code.

I was kind of disappointed to when I figured that out. I will be quite honest. I don't know how they

would sell a massive beer like that because most like gas station coolers. You know what I'm saying? You know the front cooler with the ice in it you pull out the big dogs from, the magnums. That's where they would keep this. You've seen that. Yeah. That's for the real drink.

This is kind of sick. That ice chest is for the real drink. I kind of want one of these. I don't really. I drink, course. lights um it's a top three golf course beer for me if i'm going to drink beer on the course it cures lights in the mix i assume that's also made from like a coozy type of material so it's going to keep it cold yeah okay that's cool this probably fits four beers in it i think three you could just you could just fill it with beer you know there's no you don't have to actually put the cans in they can't stop you from just opening beers up or just getting a tap and just filling it with beer can they

Let's see if this is actually available. I don't know how practical this is. I mean, it's dope, but is it practical? It better keep, when I get to that third beer, it better be as cold as when I put it in. It better be a high-quality item or else I don't see the point of it. Imagine me pulling up to a T-ball game with that thing.

Picture me at the T-ball game, just behind the dugout, just yelling at the boys for not running out through first base. Yeah, with your taller boy. My taller boy, they're like, God damn, how many of you had? Well, I've had three. and somebody fits in this taller boy.

Are they going to do a tallest boy? They're calling it a canister. Is it, it better, it better be like, Yeti quality cooling in there. Not a Yeti quality. I want bison cooler quality. Former sponsor. You haven't been a sponsor in a very long time.

You still use their cooler, though. A core has been used for a number of things. They're welcome back whenever they would like. including clams and their their coosies whereas are very good they keep my drink very very cold yeah i have a a what's a skinny one for the uh for like the seltzers yeah the seltzers shape one i have one of those and it works really well um have you seen where the uh ufc 250 uh octagon is at as far as assembly do you have you seen the video i have you seen the video i have I saw a video of it was lit up.

It was lit up. This is, I have not seen this one. I don't know if I've been, I'm like I say, I've been blocking this out, but I've definitely not been giving to see attention that it deserves. So it's like right in the backyard of the,

oh yeah, is right, like Trump could probably just watch it from the balcony. It's a nine iron from the back door of the White House. Yeah. I feel like it might, I mean, that's,

or even closer. It might be a little sandwich. Back in the stands. Yeah, I think he's going to be sitting right up. A little 56 degree. Right up here and watching this fight, isn't he? Is that where he's going to be watching from? I got that.

He'll be in the next, dude. He'll be in the next. Apparently, there's some rain headed that way for the week of this event. Well, looks like this has a roof. There's definitely a roof. There's a lot of worry about the bugs. D.C. is a buggy town. A little bit soupy at times, humidity.

A lot of Nats. A lot of the fighters have not, I don't know. You don't fight outside a lot. I'm sure coming up, I know some of them like coming up in other organizations fought outside. Well, remember the, what was it, the Jake Paul fight where it was outside and like people were slipping around the ring?

Really? Yeah, there's something too. There was like Jake Paul and Logan Paul or something like that. I remember that. Okay. Yeah, I don't, it really is like, it's not talked about enough on this show, like how preposterous this is going to be.

Yeah. Yeah. A UFC fight. Are you going to be watching it? Yeah. It's a good card. It is? Yeah.

I mean, it is a great card. Like, just objectively take away. That's what's also kind of crazy is they're going to, they're going to decide like these, they're going to decide belts outside. How did UFC become the official sport of the tributt? off administration. Is it the Joe Rogan connection or Dana White? He and Dana White Trump's always been involved in the fight game. He's been, he's first, second, third row at Mike Tyson fights, you know, all the way back to the 80s. He's probably back there for like,

a, you name it. He's part owner of WWE, wasn't he? I don't know. I mean, at least I know that he was featured in WWE. Like, did he go in the ring once? He is a combat sports. I'm not going to like connoisseur, but he's definitely been a fan. So yeah, I mean, like he's connected to the fighting world, Don King, all that. The Fertitas, uh, who own the UFC or owned, I don't really know what their involvement is anymore. Um, Dana and him are buddies, as you know. Yeah, it's just, it's, uh, it's kind of absurd. And the fact that I'm probably going to be watching this with like either my family or Alyssa's family. It's just funny. I mean, I am interested to see all the stuff that's going to be going on in Washington, D.C. for the 250.

Like, they seem to be going all out for it. I might watch. I don't usually watch M.M.A. It doesn't do a lot for me, but I might watch this, just because the whole spectacle of it. When is this, Randall? I don't know. It's around the fourth, right? Because that's what they're celebrating the 250? Apparently, I remember the original, like, plan for the 250. They were supposed to have, like, a bunch of, like, a kind of world's fair sort of thing.

but it was like all the different states. June 14th. So I don't know exactly when that's happening. So really soon. This is Sunday. Oh, this is Sunday. Yeah. I had no idea it was that soon.

I'm going to be honest. I definitely thought this was going to be like a Fourth of July. Yeah, me too. Which is why when you were talking about the forecast, I was like, they're already doing like they've got like a 40-day forecast or whatever. The former's all. 30-day. I mean, you know, I can.

Okay. what were you saying? I was just talking about that they're supposed to have like a kind of Americans Fair at Washington City. I haven't heard more about it since the beginning of the year. And when are the Patriot game's going to happen if that's still going to be a thing? What's that? It was supposed to be like two representatives of high school athletes,

boy and a girl from each state, and they were going to do some type of like athletic event. Oh, we talked about this. Maybe like a decathlon or something. have no clue. It was just more just that the name was Patriot games and it was high school athletes. Okay. Sunday in Washington, D.C., high of 94, the feel-like temperature will be 100 degrees because of the humidity and a 55% chance of rain. Okay. There you go. It's going to be soupy. That's going to suck. It's going to suck for the fighters.

I'm not like at least once every two days I have the thought that like and this might be a sign of some kind of illness but I wonder if like because the way how absurd things I've got like we're just like we're doing a UFC fight on the White House lawn and I'm just like am I real and like you got you two guys and everybody else but me is like I'm living this life of like and you guys are just like part of a simulation for me and it's just like part of a simulation for me and it's just. It's just day after day. It just gets a little bit more absurd incrementally until finally, like, I don't know how it culminates. The absurdity has been normalized. Sometimes I wonder. I become numb to the absurdity of everything that's happening. Are you, are you sure it's not illness and maybe not a syndrome that you have? Derangement?

Yeah. From who? From Mr. Donald Trump? It's not just going. You're giving him too much credit. It's not just him. He's not the, he's a, look. It's a lot of it.

It's a big part of it. The UFC fight at the White House is a big part of it, but it's other things too. He had a giant poster board printed of the size of the pool as it relates to skyscrapers. By the way, the pool has been there for decades. Yeah, I don't, I think it was, it was not even a blip on the radar. It was like, this is, this makes no sense. This is so weird. I mean, it was interesting to see that.

Just seeing like how big, I never knew the pool was that thing. They fired a cabinet official. And then like two weeks later, you find out her husband, uh, uh, was wearing a body suit with big fake knockers. Yeah. Huge, huge, huge ones. And like that guy, that was under the rug two days later. Massive sloppers, dude.

Yeah. Like, not even tasteful ones. Like, ones that you're like, come on. It's a weird time, Dave. You doing it. I know, but we've been saying that for a long time. Right. It's become normal.

So I'm like, okay, wait. I don't know. Basically what I'm saying is I question my reality every couple of days. I think a lot of people do. The nature of. If you're scared, go to church, though. Randy. Wow.

Look at that. Ice Cube said that. Did he? I think so. I don't know, but here's the deal. I'm not, I'm not on a high horse and I'm not, I'm going to watch, I'm going to watch Justin Gagee potentially just get absolutely mulled. Do you think that Brett's punching air, seeing that the blue dry tone actually dark blue and not that bright blue? See?

And the reflecting pool? What about it? Brett is so against that that reflecting pool stuff and he thought it was going to be stay that bright blue when they were like pouring the stuff. It's a nice navy.

It looks like the American. I have no, I have no pool takes. Do they, what do they have, are they running salt in there? Are they doing chlorine? I don't know.

I am interested to see when it's all done. They're filling it back up now. Oh, man. They have to, I mean, they got, they get a lot of rain. there. Maybe a shock in it. Maybe 50% on Sunday. God, damn. Imagine how much shock you got to dump in that thing to get it swammable. It's a beating. I don't think it's like deep enough to

like swim in. Okay, you could wade. Yeah. Could float. You want to go to D.C. and how deep is it? Three inches. Forest Gunn ran through it. Yeah. I'd say it's probably like shin, chin deep. No, it was Jenny, not for us. Maybe knee deep. They both did. They ran to each other. They ran to each other. This, of course, after Forrest let the cat out of the bag on what he saw on the war in Vietnam. But they, like, unplugged his microphone and the speakers. Yeah. Tell us about the war, man. It's a good scene.

Wavy gravy. Good scene. You ever seen that movie, Randy? Forrest Gump? Yes, I've seen Forrest Gump. I don't know, dude. I don't know, dude. I'm not Brett.

I see movies. Great question. Has Brett ever seen it? Ooh, that is a great question. Dude, my friend Mikey doesn't watch movies. Like, he's seen like four movies in his life. Should I go ask him? It's insane.

What's Mikey doing? I don't know, man. Well, Mikey do the show. We need to get it. He's so interesting, isn't he? I just, yeah. Like, I just feel like I want to talk to him more. I was on the, I know Mikey.

I want to talk. I just, I want to, like, sit down. I want to have a conversation. I'm going to text him right now. Maybe we'll have them on a Patreon. Oh, okay. Special guest, Mikey. Thank you, Brooks, in the chat, who points out that June 14th is Trump's birthday.

If you had the chance to have a UFC card on your birthday and you're honored, would you? I mean, you have to say, yeah, objectively sick. Damn. Okay. What do I have this weekend? I guess we'll find out in this weekend. Maybe it's just fine. I texted Mikey.

Is there anything else in the chat that we're getting wrong about this? I really have not intentionally blocked it out, but I'm just like, I don't need to be stressed out or I don't need to put too much energy into this. And now I'm just finding out it's in three days. Shout out, Pat Green. It's been three. How's it go? I got three days.

We don't know the next long. You should know. You've seen them more than anybody. Yeah, but it's been a very long time. Dude, he sold out, bro. He went Nashville on us, dude. It's the classic. He sold out, bro.

I mean, yeah. I saw him at, uh, I saw him at Kafri at tech when, uh, Flander and my buddies were all in fraternity there. And Clay, Flounder was just running around yelling, play wave on wave. Play wave on wave. Oh my God. And when he played it, like he went, he was in like 2000. He had to be there.

2000 was like peak pet green. Like everyone in my school was just super. at green mode. Southbound 35. Come on, man. I was more of a Cory Morrow guy. He was also good. I enjoyed Corey Moore.

Lights on the stage was my favorite song for a minute. Cory Morrow was, he kind of always, he felt like he didn't sell, maybe he didn't have the opportunity, but he'd ever really went Nashville, right? No. He was not near a big back.

He famously fought the Nashville blues. He did. Famously. Tell you what I'm doing. Checking out this aura frame and looking at Brett just stonting in a bolow, right now.

A real went live yesterday on Circling Back. What record needs to be set straight? I feel like I do is pretty clear. Let me finish, son. A reel went live on circling back yesterday regarding something that happened on Tuesday's Patreon, a story you told or some insight you gave us into your habits. The question prompted, we could, I should have had you pull the audio, Randy, but I'll give a TLDR.

Said, what is your go-to piece of shitmeal? That means like when you're either you're lazy, you're tired, hungover, all the above. Strong out, Randy. Bleak. Piece of shit meal. You know, mine's, fuck,

I'm going to go eat hot chicken and feel like shit. Yeah, mine's Taco Bell or Panda Express Orange Chicken, you know. Dillon's was a cheeseburger. A cheeseburger that he takes one of the buns off of as so to limit the carbs.

That was his best response to his piece of shit meal. And we had to really dig in to finally get that one. We had to really, really dig. So I want you to set the record straight. great, what bun is it? And for the folks at home, what are you doing? I don't know who captioned the real.

It was me. Yeah, you got it wrong. Don't care. I was clear in the episode. I even clarified in the comments. I think evasive at best, honestly. I'll leave the bottom one. And the thought behind that is,

I feel like the bottom bun is a little less voluminous than the top one. I feel like the top bun is, it's, you know, and there's probably not, I'm probably not even right. But it feels to me like it's bigger than the bottom bun, is what I'm saying. I don't think this helps, though. I don't feel like this, this like adjudicates what you do.

So there's like a few extra carbs I'm tossing aside. Okay. I go like this. I take the top bun and I just toss it like that. Like legit maybe, when you say a few extra carbs, like, I mean, legit maybe. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I know. But you're also, depending on if you're doing like a sesame seed bun, you're disposing them a couple of, well, not a couple of 25 sesame seeds.

Here's another thing that I do, and I promise you there are a lot of people who are going to relate to this. Say you're eating a sub from somewhere. I will tear off parts of the bun as I'm eating it and toss it to limit the carb. Okay, I thought you were going to say, like if, because I will do this, and I really thought, and I was hoping this is where you're going, if I'm eating a Thundercloud sub and I take a bite and that bite had the last, you know, I ate all the meat. And there's like two inches left of bread. I'll typically not eat that last bite. Same, same concept here. But I'm not, I'm not, I'm not doing a peel and eat as I go.

You lift the hood like, oh, this bite has no meat left. You're not going to eat just bread and bread manis. Unless I'm very hungry. But I'm not, I'm not as I go like debunning it. I know the people do this though. Man, I don't know. Yes. Oh, no, man.

You know what this is giving, Dave? It is very similar vibe to the type of person that takes a paper towel and takes the grease off the top of the pizza. That's exactly what this is like. You are patting down the pizza by removing the top bun. This is worse than that. I don't really do that, but there's nothing wrong with doing it. If there's a little grease in your pepperoni, you can dab it. I don't think that's as bad. And I'm telling on myself a little bit here, because I have dabbed a pizza. You ever go to Sabro, dude? It's a greasy pizza. There's nothing wrong with dabbing your pizza. I like greasy Italian food.

See? I mean, I like it. That's not the point here. Time out. But okay, okay, so it is the top bun. So the top bun is out of here. So time out. I've said this a lot in the last week.

Your top, your fingers are on top of the topping. So what are you putting on? You don't do tomato, right? He's doing Kelsey Palm. Fuck tomatoes, dude. So what is your, what are your fingers on? The lettuce? You don't do lettuce.

Usually I want to go to Pete Terry's. I don't do lettuce either. Usually I want to go to Pete Terry's. I get bacon on my double cheeseburger. So it goes, it goes bun, meat cheese, meat cheese, bacon. No chopped up onion, no pickles. Every now and then I'll do grilled onion, but not typically. Just an elite comment here from Elisa in the chat.

Dylan giving major, can I get my bagel scooped energy? Yeah, that's fair. I'm not scooping your bag. A bagel is different, though, because it's all carb. Like, if I'm eating a bagel, I know that I'm signing up to just eat carbs with cream cheese and it's going to be delicious. You know, I'm not, I'm not scoop. I've never scooped a bagel.

Can you say, can you look into that camera, which one? Yeah, this one right here. Look into it right there and say you've never on God. I, Dylan shivery. Say on the orange man. On the orange man, have never scooped a bagel. Say you as a. Little leager.

Yeah, yeah. As your hand is up. You have to say, under God, I love my country and respect it's bagel scooping. And you'll respect the other team. And I'll respect the other team. And I have never scooped a bagel. I hope you get smited. I mean, people go to.

All right. People go to Jimmy Johns, which stinks, by the way. People go there and they scoop, they scoop their, they scoop their bread. A standard practice now. See? Dude, is it really? It's the same thing. It's not the same thing.

A standard practice is by the thing. It is the same thing. We talk about. This is a burger, buddy. It's getting rid of some of the car. Look, if I can take my carb intake down a little bit, I know. I just, without sacrificing too much enjoyment, I'm going to do it. I just don't like you being one foot in, one foot out.

Like, just either embrace the, I'm going just straight up meat and other items. I'm going, what do they call that? I'm doing the keto burger or whatever. Yeah. Or I'm fucking enjoying the hamburger, man, the way God intended. I mean, look, if it's my death, Romeo, I'm not taking the bun off, you know. I'm just saying, like, I would. I would prefer the double bond.

Stay true to the game, dude. It's your death row meal. You're eating chicken fried steak. Is it the big Mac that has the bun in the middle? Yeah. Yeah. Why would anyone ever eat that? Do you believe in an afterlife?

Why would anyone ever have a triple bun burger? It's just so much bread. I don't know, dude, but they've sold more burgers than you. I'm taking that middle bun out minimum. Don't because then you're going to see the McDonald's patty, and it's just not good. The patty looks like the face of the moon. It's not good.

I think more than taking the bottle, it's the meat, it's the fingers on the meat is what really, really bugs me. Yeah, I mean, I have clean hands. I wash my hands.

I eat and then they're obviously going to get greasy. I wash them again after I eat. Then we're back to square one. Got whole cheese under your nails. Sometimes I told you all, sometimes I remove both buns and just fork it. That's, that's what I'm saying.

I'm saying I respect that more than the half bond, the one, foot in one foot out. That's just a hamburg steak from Germany. That's no longer the hamburger or the cheeseburger. That's what originally I've done the lettuce for whatever you want to call it. I was in ketosis for a few weeks back in 2018. Dude, I've tried that. I hate,

it stinks. I'd rather just hand, like put my hands on. I feel like you're in no position to say anything stinks right now, buddy. Lett us for out burgers stink. All right. I just wanted you to I wanted to give you a platform. Yeah. I'm sorry, man. This is who I am. I know. I'm carbo-ware.

I know. Sheesh. I'm just trying to feel good, man. Try to feel good, look good. Play good. Just feel like you've disappointed some listeners. I may have, but I also, I know I'm touching the souls of a few listeners out there who are like, you know what? I do it too.

And I'm glad he's speaking out on it. No. If I ever catch you, like, if I'm in, if I'm in, if we're in Philly and you're eating a cheese steak and I catch you like debunning it as you go, just peeling it off and feeling. I do it I'm gonna leave I do it all the time what is going why why is that why can't you just live in the moment and enjoy the the food that God has given you less less God has given you food less eaters remorse afterwards we've all been we all know what eater's remorse feels like and it's not good feeling brother just it's just I'm just scaling it back just a bit I still enjoy what I'm eating somebody said in the comments this is typical it's just how a what do the guys say

said not surprised he said most 42 year old gay man yeah like yourself which is what i am yeah of course a reference to the guy who got really mad about your banana ball take and based on only your take said that he made that judgment about you i'm a 42 year old he didn't really comment on it he just pointed that out and i was like man what in that video told you we don't understand i don't know yeah i don't get it either i wasn't like nothing in that video like set me one way or the other like oh this guy really likes women or this guy really likes men no i just think this guy doesn't like uh the pageantry of banana ball some random guy thinks i am gay it's it doesn't change it doesn't affect no it doesn't and honestly in in my opinion maybe yours that's a compliment

yeah yeah i think so too well groomed well dressed yeah take care of myself so i don't like banana ball you got a problem with that see you later dude that guy never he didn't follow he just commented he didn't like that the reel, though. My favorite part. Why'd you like it? I figured a comment negatively toward it. Shouldn't have done that. Sorry to disappoint. And a lot of these people are forgetting that you were in the rookie. I know. It's, I had to remind one guy in the comments. Yes. You don't understand. Was that you, Dave, that long, that one, I know you posted the clip, but then did you go ahead and log into Wash Media? The comment, is this the guy from the

rookie and then back into circling back to confirm it. Yes. That was me. Yeah, that's good. That's good work. That was what I did last night. Yeah. I'm trying to, I'm trying to get some interaction between the accounts, drive some engagement. All right. I'm glad we got that squared away. Boy, the next time I go eat a burger somewhere and you're there, it's going to be strict, the strictest of scrutiny. I mean, if I'm out with the boys, I'm not going to do that. No, you will. This is a home play. It's a privacy play. Did Charles know this about you before? y'all got married uh i think so she's seen me do it okay definitely has seen me do it okay yeah meanwhile she's just over there eating the eating the burger the way it was supposed to be

the way god intended she's about 50 50 on lettuce wrap versus traditional double bun look i look while i i don't choose to do the lettuce wrap i respect it yeah i respect it more than delin the burger but that's okay we're down we're sorry put it the the bad. Let's talk about our weekend at Fawn. Someone said in the comments that Dylan's 0 for two on Burger Takes. I don't know who said that. You said that. I'm not, I'm not agreeing with that. There's a crazy event

happening. I like to turn off. There's a crazy event happening. We had the party and it was lit. I got yelled out by a prostitute. Let's just go have fun and they'd go a little. Little more trials. Let's go. This weekend of Fawn presented by our good friends at Early Bird CBD. That name should ring a bell. They were literally our first sponsor when we started

the show back in 2019. Yeah, they got gummies, but now they got the drops too. The drops are hemp derived, water soluble, tincture formulated with feel-good balance of THC and CBD. Each serving of drops contains roughly 2.5 milligrams of THC and 12.5 milligrams of CBD. They're water-soluble. You can mix it with any beverage. Zero calories, zero sugar. I know you like that.

The dropper format allows you to fine-tune the right dose for the right moment. I'm a big fan of that. And the drops are unflavored, and they've got a lot. slight tart and earthy taste just like the plant they're made from. And the gummy formulation has not changed. Still got the gummies. I love the watermelon. I have not tried the lemon somehow, but the strawberry are great too.

But the gummy formulation has not changed. The gummies rock as well. It's got the same roughly two and a half milligrams of THC, 12.5 milligrams of CBD in each gummy.

Right on, just right on the table. Oh, endless shrimp is back at Red Lobster. Definitely going to do that soon. I never got to eat a shrimp burger, so it's okay. I know it was back.

There's a Red Lobster right down the street. I will probably go to it at some point. For the rest of time. But yeah, so that's about it. We'll be back here Tuesday. Not this upcoming Tuesday, but next Tuesday. Ryan will be the guest producer all of next week and Monday. So I'll be nice to him.

I've left him a lot of instructions. Will he be able to look at, like, watch the chat? Yeah. I have, I have spent a lot of time making sure that his job is as easy as possible next week. But not too easy. You set some traps in there for him. You want them to make a couple of areas.

I've made it very easy. I've made a lot of drafts and depth descriptions. And, yeah. Your boys around all weekend Friday night, USA, watching some footy. Watch it. When is the, when's game five? Is that Friday? Or do they build in a travel day there, an extra?

They haven't done any travel days so far, have they? Yeah, because there was a no Sunday night game. That might have been Stanley. No, that was. It goes, it goes one, one now. They can't do a travel day for each one of those, right? No. No, they can't.

Watch Spurs give it hell, man. I want to see this. I do want to see it go seven just from a neutral fan. Saturday, Alyssa's got like an all-day birthday. spa thing at some historical spa outside of town that she didn't really know she was going to until five days ago and she's like

it's okay if I'm gone from like this time to this time which is basically all day and I'm like yeah but you know you know what that means right you're getting this the steak rack is coming out you know you're going to get home late walk inside and smell

that old cast iron skillet little garlic maybe just a little bit of rosemary Um, yeah, I don't know. She's like, if you end up needing, like, wanting to go do something, like, I'll get a sitter. I was like, I don't really have anything going on. I was like, I was like, maybe I'll have you go get a sitter or you can get a sitter and I'll just go, uh, I'll go sit at the carve bar and just eat a steak and a salad and just sit up there. Sounds so dope.

It does sound dope. That would be really sad if I got a sitter just to do that. It's like six minutes from my house. Um, but yeah, I'm going to be. Keep it a little bit low key this weekend unless something pops up. So there you go. I can't wait to see this steak

that you make on a wire rack. Got that wire rack en route. Very excited about it. You get comments of the week ready? I do. I have Randy's comments of the week. I guess I was done. Are you done?

Yeah, I am now. I mean, you were stalling out. It seemed like you were done. It's like a natural, a natural finish there. No, that's for sure, man. All right. Randy's comments of the week.

Where are they? All right, let's do these. This is, I believe, from Thursday's episode, from Half a Newer? Not sure. Anyone else thinking that Dave is funny and better looking than he used to be? Oh, that's very nice.

You probably wrote that one. Interesting. Thank you. Halfa Newer. Yeah. I probably pictured that name. This one comes from YouTube from Dylan Francis, not the famous DJ, spelled differently.

That Big Rock in Atlanta is. the fame stone mountain largest exposed piece of granite in the world at one point and the pride of the metro alana area as long as you don't know it's very racist past so there you go that's okay yeah yeah um pirate from the chat today i i want dylan get off the everything app you just liked my tweet live probably did yeah um going back to some youtube here this one this one was I kind of tease this one. This was from a YouTube short of us making pineapples. I don't think this guy is maybe a fan of ours.

Professor Squatch is the name. Do you guys find that the mustaches act like as a Velcro locking your lips together when you kiss? I've never had that experience. I'll let you know. I'll let you know. We'll do some experiments, Professor Squash for you and we'll get back to you. We won't. Well, thank you.

From that same short, perfect closeout says, when life gives you lemons, make you a booze during calls. There you go. That's a listener. All right. Let's get back to the Spotify. Jeff says, Dorn is starting fights with everyone.

Square toe mafia, banana ball, and now Real Madrid. He matched that international beef button. Damn, you did certify with a real Madrid. Dude, that's the realest Madrid there is. Real Madrid. Is that how you're supposed to pronounce it? No.

You need to know you did it right. You're going over there, dude. Real Madrid. You're going over there. Cozy says, first glimpse of Randy wearing a bow tie and a skin-toned shirt, I thought, had me thinking Chris Pontius was producing the pod. Party Boy.

Mm-hmm. People forget that Dave got a, uh, a cameo for me from Party Boy. I did. He was very high. He's the real, no one's wilder than the Wild Boys. Nope. Oh, and then this, these are two quick ones here from Spotify, uh, Dino. Dylan has voted athleticism takes Matthew. Dylan needs to go to an Austin game and sit in the first 10 rows, then Judge

athleticism. Austin FC? Yeah. I have sat in the first 10 rows. Oh, stunt. Oh, wow. It's a fun environment. It's just, you know, you got to.

If they're, if they ever get good, it's gonna be real fun. Not real fun. I would, yeah. They were in the playoffs a couple years ago, right? I don't know. The first year, they were fine.

I went to one. It was fun. I have a short run back today. Oh, whoa, whoa. I guess I'm done? How many comments you got? This is my last one. You got to shorten it up, I think.

This is my last one. and is the best one of the week. Eric says, Dave trading his neighbor a $300 bat for the gift of fried chicken is an all-time fleece. On whose behalf? Dude, you got to try tumble, dude. You think it's worth a $300 bat? Here's the deal.

Yeah, the chicken was goaded. I gave him the gift of a chicken breast, hot chicken breast wrapped in foil. I just handed it to him. Sick. Well, congrass to Eric. Now I'm done. Run a back. So you got a short one this week.

Of course, it's a segment during which we talk about what we talked about all week long. In high school, when Dave was a starting quarterback, he refused to sign the pledge that said he wouldn't drink or smoke weed. He might play,

but he'll do it on his terms. Look, man, I don't like to talk about that very awesome. It's a summer of shoalties. Oh, that's what that means. Randy is bringing a backup clip-on bowtie to his Euro wedding. Ready packed.

And finally, new hotline number, 877 352 Haas. It's the Haas line. Hit the Haas line. That concludes run it back. Great week. Well, we'll see in eight days, Randy.

Check us out on retail therapy later today. Retail therapy. Check it out. With duds. We'll see if Dave and Dillon can equal one will to freeze. Bye. Bye-bye. One of those media strategy people clicking through slides, scrolling spreadsheets. Yes?

Good. This is for you. Because on Spotify, there's an audience that's different, locked in, loyal, invested. They're called fans. Fans don't just listen to music. They feel seen by it, like it belongs to them. So when your brand shows up on Spotify, that's who you're talking to. And you're right next to artists like me, Lizzo. So, are you ready to talk to fans?

Spotify Advertising. You're among fans.
