I love it. It's really nice to care. All right, we're back. Circling back podcast. Yeah, we're doing it again. Got a full studio. People thought after yesterday that, like, nah. We just take a long weekend.

Yeah. I'm just going to lead it off. Will DeFree is alive and well. He's getting drained today. His thumb is getting drained. His thumb is getting drained. He's got an infected thumb. He does.

I'm Dave. I'm going to introduce Randy first. Is that okay with you guys? Yeah, sure. Regist Randy. Hi, Dave. Hi. I did something for dinner last night that I think you're gonna like.

Okay. Little fast food, a little fried chicken, a little something someone's been talking about on the podcast, hyping up. You did the wings? I did the Wendy's Chicken Tenders. They were fine, Dylan. They were fine. Why would you do that and not do the wings? What do you mean?

They're fine? So y'all are going to do a bit where you don't eat the house, man. They were, they were, they were. They were about, you know, they were just your typical fast food chicken tender. I'll do the wings eventually, Dave. But, yeah, I just thought it would be funny. It's a good bit if you guys just refuse to try the wings that I'm, like, forcing upon y'all. I thought that's exactly where that was going.

But now. Is that why you brought in a bag of broccoli for lunch today? That's to accompany my leftover Chinese food from two days ago. So don't worry. He brought in bonus broccoli? Wait, side broccoli? We had, yeah. Kelly, we're like, well, Kelly's coming in.

And we'll introduce Kelly in a second here. But Dave opened the fridge to like, you know, just rearrange something. He's like, who's bag of fucking broccoli is this? That's going to also smell terrible in the microwave. No, no, no. That's just raw with some ranch. Okay. I actually don't think I hate that.

I think that that's an okay, healthy snack. It's a little coup d'et. They'll get stuck in your teeth, though, huh? The heads? Yeah. You don't bother by that? No. He's got a girlfriend.

Yeah. Okay. She goes to another school, though. She lives in Hawaii. They always do. Totally real. I haven't met her. You've been dating here for how long?

September? Yeah. Wow. For sure, dude. For sure. Hey, look who's in the studio. Hey. It's none other than the magic bullet, Brett Merriman.

Man, thank you for having me. Brett looks handsome today. Yeah, what's going on? I got a lot of stuff going on. Kelly's here. I have an event. tonight that I'm sure you'll talk about. You go into the event?

Yeah, I'm going to stop by before. It's playoff hockey night in South Central Texas, Dave. Does Kelly know your, big matchup? Your hockey schedule? Well, he did say, I was like, oh, I got this event, blah, blah, and he's like, oh, I don't know. Maybe I'll be able to stop by, but I got hockey. And then I never asked him to elaborate.

And then I was, like, reminding him about this event. He said, hey, if you can stop by. He's like, yeah, maybe I can before. I've got hockey at like 10 o'clock. And I said, at night? PM? At night. It's insane.

And he said, well, it's the playoffs. And then I said, okay, now I'm checking out. 10 o'clock hockey. It's also not close. It's in Cedar Park. Yeah, it's about a 40-minute drive. Well, from downtown. That's Jeffty-Lowe's home to.

He'll get on the one year. It is. It is Jeffty-Lose. I can think of it was that song he sings. That's crazy. Why so late? You didn't really explain that. You just said, it's playoffs.

Like, I should know. Yeah, it's just the playoffs. No, that's the ice time spots we did. So there's like, you know, little kids play from four to six. and then like high school plays from seven to eight. Oh, yeah, okay. Then the old guys get the, and then it becomes the rec league.

Yes, the late time. Is that technically what it is? Like, what's the? I'd say it's a little bit, it's a, it's a men's league. It's not quite beer league because it's, there's refs and there's a scoreboard. Because you take it seriously. It's pretty, yeah, it's pretty serious. He gets home at like 2 a.m.

Well, that's because we do beers after, but. Some black, some. Are you good? Blues. Oh, I don't, I don't. I'm not good, good. There's guys who, there's guys who, played like professional hockey in our league. They're very good. Sure. And now we're just retired.

And there's, you know, levels below that guys played in college or high school. What level would you say you're at? I played in high school. Yeah. And I'm, I'm in the lead. I'll take that. Sounds like you're working hard. A lot of hard work in this. Yeah, but big night. You look good, Brett. Thank you. Harbs's team got upset. I didn't want to bring that up. I know. I don't want to bring it up. For front of the show. Friend of the show. Oh, no. But yeah, exciting, exciting stuff. If we win tonight, we go to the best of three playoffs starting next week. We'll be sure to track that.

Please. You can watch it live, actually, if you want to tune in. Hey, here's a guy. Can I introduce this guy? Yeah, hop in. A lot of you know him as Dylan. I know him as the hottest man in the world. Dylan Shivry.

It's on the planet, actually. Planet. But thank you. Thanks, Dave. Happy to be here, excited for today's show. Today is my baby boy's birthday. So, happy birthday to Parks. Parks Man.

Famously 7 at one point. Yeah, that's true. Going to break tradition. It's tradition to his mom and I always meet for lunch at his school on his birthday. But ever since we started this dumbass live show at 11, I have to miss it this year for the first time. Wow. We're going to go. No, it's okay.

Are you feeling like a deadbeat? No, no. He's got a big party plan for Saturday. So we're going to go big on Saturday. That's going to be great. What's the theme? Stranger Things. Oh, that's sick.

He's a big stranger things kid. Are you going to wish Millie Bobby Brown a happy birthday as well? It is her birthday as well, which he was very excited to learn. So, yeah, sure, happy birthday. And who else is? He's definitely listening right now. Who else is that we learned? I forgot.

What's the thing? Ex-Prince-A-Rourns-Andrew, who just got arrested today. His birthdays today? I didn't realize it was also his birthday. Wow. What a mess? Yeah, yesterday. I missed all this.

What happened? Arrested for Epstein. Yeah, for Epstein ties, some misconduct. Jeffrey Epstein? The financier. Oh, fine. Oh, yeah, that guy. Yeah, no, you know what?

That's crazy. Somebody got arrested, huh? We're doing that? That's possible? He seems to be the first one that they've arrested, right? But he's been, he first was, obviously he's like besties with him. And then there were photos of him with that poor woman, Virginia, Guthrie, Guffrey. And that's kind of how he got pulled into it.

And now all these new files coming out, there's pictures, there's this, there's that. There's pictures of like Jeffrey and Gislane at Balmoral Castle. It's like very bad. But they've already stripped Andrew of his titles. and stuff. Oh, yeah. So he's just regular like Mountbatten Windsor, nothing else. And so now he's gone to jail. And Prince Charles said justice must be served basically this morning. Prince Charles, or Prince Charles, yeah. His brother, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Or, uh, sorry, King Charles. I called him Prince Charles. He's King Charles. Oh, King Charles. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Did you see our girl Mary

Cutter's, she just dropped in Epstein song. No way. I saw your tweet, but I was a coming country artist, Mary Cutter and soon to be friend of the show. Got some back channels. She might be on the show one day. I wouldn't hate it. I want to know about the cornbread mafia. Cornbread, I've got a lot of questions for Mary, but she dropped an Epstein banger. Can't wait to listen to that.

I have to do it. How many? I mean streams. Yeah. I don't know, but I bet many. Okay. dozens? Dozens?

No, she's big now. Did you get like a copyright so you could play it? I don't know how that works. We could just play it. We get seven seconds. I don't know if that's accurate. It's also not enough. It's not enough.

I still think we can monetize on YouTube. That is true. Don't play it. Don't play it. For the future. For future. We'll do it. We'll do a dramatic reading of the lyrics.

We can have her in studio to perform live like Luke Combs back in the day. Perfect. True. Sneaky name drop. Hey, hold not. This is rude. I can't believe we waited seven minutes now. We haven't even introduced our guest.

Okay, here we go. Kelly Kiegs leads barstool in New York as its president, blending sharp sarcasm with commentary on travel frustrations. New York City living in pop culture staples like Taylor Swift and reality TV. She hosts Taylor Watch for Swift updates and Wine with Kelly for wine enthusiasts amassing over 100,000 followers through witty barstool contributions. Her feed mixes personal queries like seeking Manhattan apartment owners with celebratory nods to events such as the Year of the Horse. Ladies and gentlemen, Kelly Kiggs. Wow.

Wow. What an intro. Did you write that yourself? Yeah. You stayed up all night. I'll do the research. Yeah. I'm not a normal podcast.

I missed the election. I didn't know he became president. Oh, yeah, I was elected. I was elected president in the New York office. I beat Tommy smokes. He can choke on it. Nice. So suck at Tommy smokes. Sorry, Tom. I was evoked by a group of my peers. That's right. That was like, five years ago? Yeah, I think I certainly have like termed out, but we just actually know what was going to happen was we were going to do like another election. And then maybe I was going to act like I've aged a million years and it was like, I gotta get out of here or whatever. And then Tommy was probably going to come in and just like be president, like kind of Trumpy, whatever. But then like Kamala lost and the vibes were bad. It's like, this isn't maybe funny to do.

So he didn't do it. It got a little real. Yeah, got a little too real. So now I'm just president forever, I guess, until I'm impeached, which I've yet to be. There you don't. Well, welcome, Kelly. This is your first. Thank you. Are you, an Austin visitor much? I have only been here one other time. And I was here for a bachelor's party to know. Nobody's. surprise. But that was like, I think, probably close to 10 years ago now. Oh, wow. And all I really remember is being so drunk on a boat on Lake Travis. And that'll happen. Likely spot. And I remember a bar with a slide in it. And that's the only other thing I remember. It's Carlos and Charlies. Oh, I was thinking Lake Travis. It was like there was a bar up top.

You could like take shots, whatever. And then you go down the side and like a patio or something. Yeah. Unbar leaveable. Yeah. Canceled. Well, semi-cancled. Unbar leaveable. Yeah. They had some management issues. Last time I went there with Randy, he just kept doing the slide. Yeah. He wouldn't get off. That's true. It also leads out right to a claw machine too. So I took a break. It's pretty dangerous. Yeah. It hurt my back going down. But, you know, whatever.

What brings you to town? To town. I am here for a work thing with Barstool. We're doing a little event with Bumble, a little singles event. And yeah, we're just having some fun. Headed over there, have some drinks, meet some people. and they asked us to come through myself and my co-host Gia. We host Taylor Watch, the Taylor Swift-centric pop culture podcast. And so hopefully we'll have some drinks, have a good time. At legendary spot, Dirty Bills. It's it, dirty Bills?

Yes. I don't know. You missed, like, you did not mention that part. So I didn't know that that was such a, you know, that everybody was going to get excited about that. I think I've been there once. Were you really? You're swarming.

What's your deal with, what's it, Dirty Bills? Uh, we went to, we had a dinner and it's next door to dirty bills. And it was like, I'm, I'm, uh, I'm on the wrong side of 40, as you can probably tell. Yeah, I was thinking it. And, uh, you know, it was like, hey, dinner's over. Everybody's leaving. Brett's like, let's go to dirty bills for one. And I was like, yeah, I'll go over there to dirty bills for one. And we went over and we were like the only non-service industry people there. Yeah. But it was fun. It was good time. It was, I mean, great. It was Tuesday night. Got it. What? 1130 or so.

It's like a blackout bar. That's what I associated with. It sounds like it's primed for singles. Like you've been out for a couple hours and then you go turn it up. Dirty Bills. Blackout, go home. You won't find a better soundtrack at a bar in Austin. That's huge news.

They play, it's predominantly like early 2000s rap is like their kind of rules, mid to late 90s, hip hop and R&B. You will hear probably four to five Spice Girls songs. Incredible. It's all I needed to hear. Do they still do the pre-year? projector comes down and they play the music videos on the, yeah. Wow. Cigarette machine.

One of the old school. Cigarette machine. And I left my Cigs at home. Good to know. Dylan can probably get you. He smoked cigarettes. Okay. Yeah, I'm on and off.

I'm on right now. A social cigarette. I'm a social smoker. Well, lately I've been having a cigarette after Pilates every day, which is not great. I don't know how I had that. I started that habit. It's so near work with you. It kind of became like a joke.

I was like, yeah, I want a cigarette after Pilates. And then, you know, it's a slippery slope, nicotine. What are you going to do? But I left them at home. I was like, oh, I need to relax. Speaking of cigarettes. What? Whatever happened to deal cigs?

You know, Brett used to smoke a cigarette in the office every single time he closed a big deal? Because I got in trouble for smoking inside too much. By who? Who got in trouble? The group. Everyone was best. It was just smoking indoors. You could have stepped outside.

You weren't swaggy while doing it, too. Yeah, you don't look comfortable with the cigarette. He holds it super awkwardly. It's really funny. I've seen you smoke a cigarette. It is on the show. I don't actually inhale. I just drag it and I had nowhere to put it.

You just need a girl. Just smoked up the office. You just need to step outside and then start smoking it and then you knock on the window and we don't realize you're out there and then we can get all hyped up. Yeah, that's actually a great alternative. Yeah, I do. They're sitting right here a couple of, a couple spirits. Go spark one.

You know what? Bring one in your right now. Don't do that. I'll tell me. I'll have to smoke one and smell it. Like I will have to have one. If we all smoke a cigarette right now, tell I was like, well. I mean, yeah, put a cigarette in my hand.

It would, the studio would smell for, it would be a bad. It would get everywhere. And nobody wants that. But good to know that after this is done, we'll have one big cigarette outside. Yeah. Yes. The other thing about Dirty Bills, they do Mad Dog 2020. If you're familiar with diabetes in a bottle.

Sure. I am familiar with that. Not a fan of that. No. Maybe I'll sip one. Randy's. So Randy's the fruity drink guy of this crew. Okay.

Do you, you've done plenty of Mad Dog in your day, right? I've only had like one or two at Dirty Bills. That is one that I can't do. It just gives me bad, like, acid throat. It tastes like really. Acid throat. We've all been there. You know what I hate acid throat.

It just makes it feel like it's kind of like burning and it's just after you drink it. Dylan dated a girl named acid throat back in college. She was a nice gal though. How's you doing? Cool chick, man. How'd you recover after that? I'm still recovering from that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So it's like long term effects. I'm like dragging today from the Tuesday night thing. I told you all when I came in. What did you do? Not like, well, so we had that dinner and it's like a whole thing and then the dirty bills. Yesterday was like kind of like the fun group hangover where it's like everybody. Some of us were more down bad, but like it was kind of like a group thing. And then this morning I got up normal time.

I had to get the kids ready and stuff. I go to the gym. I was like, oh yeah, 41. Probably shouldn't do that on a Tuesday anymore. Do you think it's that you're 41 or just that your body can't handle it anymore? Like maybe you're just out of the game partying wise and you wouldn't be so down bad if you party more. You think if I like kept it up? Yeah.

Like and just got back to that baseline. Totally. I mean, we did issue a Bender watch for you. That's true. I don't think you could run a marathon right now, but give it a couple of months. You could probably run a marathon. Wife sat at town this weekend. And you have your mother-in-law is watching kids.

I mean, you have. I was thinking about going to the Bumble event tonight and just finding somebody to just come watch the kids all weekend. That sounds perfect. They have a BFF thing. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Be like, hey, like, just come like stay at my place.

You know, I got an extra room for you. And like, I'm going to go play golf and I'm going to go watch Brett's hockey game for some reason. We'd love to have you. Yeah, I'd love to go. There's a bar at the ring. People just bring sixers and sit in the stands. Oh, really? Are there fans in the stands?

Yeah. There are 10 p.m. It's more serious than it should be. Yeah. Okay. I mean, I kind of like that. I like that it's too serious. It's way too serious.

Yeah. There are significant others usually and some of their friends. The hockey wags. Yeah. Et cetera. There's dozens of people hanging out watching. That's more than nothing. It is at 10 o'clock in Cedar Park.

It's a huge ask. So the fact there's even dozens is shocking. It's very true. Very true. I won't be able to make it tonight. I'll be curled up under my Lola blanket. Oh, yes. You understand?

Everybody loves those. They're great. Do you have a Lola blanket yet? No, not yet, but I've touched one. They're lovely. Oh, they are, aren't they? Yeah. You know, it's the world's number one blanket crafted with ultra-soft luxury faux fur

and a signature four-way stretch that sets it apart? I had no idea. And now that I know, it's in my cart. It's also machine washable, double hemmed for durability and stays flawless. You got one too, huh? Yeah. You like it? I do.

Good. I got two of them. I told you about that dope nap I took with it. Tell Kelly about the nap. It showed up in the mail. An hour later, I was asleep curled up with my loa blanket on the couch. That's right. It was the best nap I've had in a very long time.

That sounds so nice. Was the sun coming in just right? I don't recall. Yes, it was. Okay, good. Yeah, yeah. He had his transitional lenses. Yeah, my transition.

He's on. It's very cute scene. Are they transitional lenses? They are, yeah. What brand are they? Warby Parker. Another sponsor. We're doing a read now for Lola Blankets.

Hey, he's judging the reads. How was that? Was it okay? I think it was fine. Were my interactions okay? I forgot we were doing an ad halfway through. Yeah. That's the beauty of it. That's right. That's what we do our secret sauce. We do. We're baked in. We tell our ad partners, we're like, hey, we don't, we don't do any pre-recorded stuff here. No. It's called integrated marketing. And you're absolutely genius with it. Randy, can you pull up the, uh, Kelly's tweet? Yes. Kelly, which tweet could this be? You had a tweet recently. Yeah, I don't know. That makes my, um, it gives me. It's, it's,

me a pit in my stomach. What is it? Oh, my God. I would love to talk about this. Of course it's let me explain the whole scenario because I have, you know, Frankie first year's in the reply being like, oh, blah, blah, blah. What do you mean? I'm on the plane. I'm in the first row. I was upgraded to first class. Thank you, Delta. And I, uh, they started boarding early. They were supposed to start boarding at 510. By the time we showed up at 512, they were boarding zone 7. So we were like, oh shit, okay, myself and G, my co-host. So we're getting on the plane, whatever. The The two overheads in our section, like in the first row, were completely packed already. So now I'm having to go down to some other poor first class person's space and put my bag there.

Gia's got to put her bag wherever because this guy has, it's taking up 75%. It's the biggest, the biggest, like, tennis racket bag I've ever seen. And I cannot believe they didn't make him check it. Is this not too big for a carry-on? It's massive. It's bigger than a regular carry-on. And because we're in the front row, like, you know how sometimes they're not. deep. They're not as deep as the others. Yeah. So it's really meant for like backpacks and stuff and

maybe like one carry-on, but it displaced the rest of us who needed to put our carry-ons in places. And it was just insane. And then getting off the plane, the guy had no shame. It was nuts. All right. Plain etiquette is a big recurring topic on this show. I've noticed recently that you know how you're supposed to carry-on, they're designed to fit like long ways in. So you can do, you can multiple across. People are going sideways with it. It's everyone's, I mean like 90 plus percent of people are doing it the wrong way and it irritates the crap out of me. Dylan, I think that society has a problem. Nobody cares about anybody but themselves anymore. And we all need a refresher. And I was saying this about the subway the other day. I'm now saying it about the plane again. Like people have just forgotten the rules of courtesy. And this was just a brazen example of the disregard for the rest of the people on the plane. I was so pissed off when I saw this and had to deal with this.

What's worse? This or laying with your feet over the aisle. like sticking out in the aisle. Oh, like Mincy? Are we talking about Mincy? You know I hate Manhattan. That was the most egregious. I can't stand his dumb ass. That was the most egregious thing I've ever seen in mine.

Dylan, I, first of all, I had muted the entire thing. And I was serious about that. I said, I was like, I can't look at it because I get so mad when I see it and I need to keep my cortisol levels low. And so I just can't even be bothered. That picture came out and it was posted so many times by so many people saying how egregious it was. It obviously came across my desk.

I've never seen anything like it. I almost like threw my phone across the room. I could not believe that someone can be so inconsiderate. I thought he looked locked in. Fully reclined. The whole thing. I think that's just a guy dialed. Like he knows, he knows like what it's all about and he's just maxing.

He knows, I mean, he knows what's best for him and that's literally all I ever cares about. But the problem with like, I know that people laugh at the mincy content, they love it, whatever. I just don't want to be mad all the time. Like that's not my favorite kind of content to consume. I just would like, you know, I like flowers. I like Harry Potter. I like Central Park. You know, I'm pretty basic in that way.

I don't like to be made angry watching somebody disrespect, like a bunch of people in another country. Like that actually, I can't handle it, you know? Okay. Very riled up about it. Hate his guts. What about like if you had somebody you worked with? And it's like, it's an office. It's not as big as like barstool, but it's five peopleish.

And like they're your ad guy. Sure. And they brought in like their giant hockey bag. They brought in their golf clubs. Pretty much every piece of sporting equipment they own. It's just been sitting at the office for like a month. Got rid of it literally this morning before you can. Got rid of it when-Keekeeps is in town.

Sure, sure. So basically it's treating this office as just as a storage closet. You should know we did clean the office for you. I mean, it's not super clean. I mean, I said it looked amazing. It's beautiful in here. We hit the bathroom. The kitchen is as clean as it gets. Why, you clean the bathroom for me?

That's actually huge. That's really, really thoughtful. Yes. Whose idea was that? We just, we try to clean. We do clean the bathroom. Okay. It was a group-thank effort.

It is regularly. I think we do a good job with it. Good. You do specifically. I mean, sometimes it gets a little. bad. But I like to every now and then I get like that that weird like I need to clean thing. And I'm sure. Yeah. And I just, I go in there and do it. Here's what happened with the sporting

hand up. I had a hockey bag in here. I had my golf clubs in here. You don't have to elaborate. In my apartment, there's not a whole lot of room as well for for storage. I don't have a garage. And in my laundry room where the storage usually happens, uh, I had a mattress bed frame. bedding. I redid Kelly my entire room. So I had I broke down, Randy helped me break down my previous bed frame. I went from a queen to a king. Oh, okay. Moving on up. And so I hired a lot, there were a lot of things in and out of my apartment going on that I needed, I just, I needed some space in the immediate term. Okay. Now we're, now we're back. And how long exactly were these, were this, all the sports equipment here? Probably, probably week, week and a half. Oh, it's

sounds so bad. You guys made it sound like it's months. Okay, but a hockey bag is, it's a larger bag. Typically doesn't smell great hockey equipment is kind of. Oh, is that the issue? It didn't, it didn't smell as bad as it should have. Okay. Which made me wonder about your hockey prowess. Well, I clean there. Yeah, are you even trying? I do, I do clean. I clean it a lot. You know, sweat much on the bench. Oh, come on. That's crazy word. That's crazy. That's crazy. I'm already going to murder Randy. Did you hear about the great scomph? Did you hear about the great, uh, cocking of 2026? You probably heard about it. Just whispers, but I'd love a few.

He got shrimp cut. He got shrimp cucked by Randy. I don't know if it's cut. I just got disrespect. With shrimp? He stole shrimp off his plate. He only had, how many shrimp were on the plate to begin with? Maybe eight. It was also market price. Randy, Randy stole shrimp off of ice. He took two and returned one, returned to half of one. It's disgusting.

What's your problem? Are you an animal? I wanted to try the shrimp. Did you ask? And I told me. It was free. It was free for us. I told Randy, he'd be going to kill him to sleep. Yeah.

And I still stand. He took it off your plate and didn't even ask? Over his shoulder. He walked behind him. Very nice day. Was there another place you could have gotten the shrimp other than his plate? No, because Brett was the only one that ordered his own thing. Because I'm on a little bit of a red meat pause.

That's all. Sure. And there was. Okay. We can break that down as well. I didn't know about you. You've changed so much since I've seen you last. What do you mean?

You're taking a break up. Unrecognizable. Yeah. Yeah. Someone would say. And so. And so. And so.

I feel Randy behind me. I'm like, what wacky shit is this going to be? And all of a sudden, there's a shrimp just moving over to my shoulder into his fucking house position. Randy, that's egregious. I don't know you well, but like, that's egregious. 95% of the other stuff on the table was family style. So I just thought it was family style.

Did you? I don't know. That sounds like a lie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Again, I don't know you well, but I just, I'm really judging you for this. And you're going to have to work your way up in my eyes. I'm just letting you know. He won't be able to because he's going to be dead.

We're still talking about it. Okay, that's fair. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're a New York City gal now. You're from Jersey, right? Mm-hmm. What's your favorite place to go get Italian specifically like a scompe? Oh, well, a scompi isn't normally something that I'm ordering.

I'm not a big fish or I'm sorry, yeah, fish or chicken and pasta person. I like meat, like meat sauce and stuff, but I don't like a fetuccine alfredo with chicken. And sometimes shrimp scampi does feel that way, too. Like something about it, it's a texture thing. I don't know. But if I'm getting good Italian food, rosemary's is still my favorite right now. Love rosemary's.

And then, oh my God, though, I'm lying. I recently got to go to Teresi, which is like it just got a Michelin Star, wonderful, wonderful restaurant, probably the best Italian food I've had in a long time. Really, really, really good. Therese. Sounds great.

Yep. Where is it? Downtown, like Mulberry Street, maybe. Like around there. I forget exactly. I'm losing my, I'm losing my New York sense of like, man. I'm like, do me, if it's not cross streets anymore, I lost it. We just realized outside.

I asked him how long he's lived here now. And you said, what, six and a half? Six and a half. And we determined that that's longer than he lived in Manhattan. So you're not. Doubally. Yeah, you're just not. He's actually more Texas than we are.

Like, I grew up here and he, like he owns land in West Texas. Yeah, I was forget about that. Outboarded. You're probably familiar with that place. Of course. Most people are. Yeah. Hey, just, beautiful.

Can you, can you go around the room and, like, I'd say what, what New York City area, like neighborhood we would all live in? Oh, that's good. Yeah, I would love to do that. Okay, okay. Brett's the West Village for sure. That's New Murray Hill, by the way. Tell us why, though.

New Murray Hill? New Murray Hill is West Village. Well, now I don't like it as much. And I've been saying that for years, but still everybody moves there. And I'm like, you're out of your mind. Good restaurants, which I know you appreciate. Do. Very scenic, which you also appreciate.

And a lot of young professionals. Okay. And I think that you'd like that. That's why I'd put you there. But I also just think everybody there kind of is you. Like it's a lot of, a lot of copy paste of Brett. Which part of the, I point to it on the island. West Village would be, so the islands like this, right?

Yeah, yeah. Central Park's here. And you're looking at it in the right way. So West Village is down here. So it's on the west side. Is it kind of where we went to that cool restaurant bar? The morning of the meetup. Where'd you go?

I've heard you where we went. The open air, the brew house. Yeah. It was a German. We went to standards. Chelsea, whatever. Oh, standard hotel. Standard hotel.

Yeah. Oh, um, beer garden. Beer garden. Right next week? Yeah, yeah. Close. It's close to there. Yes.

Not. West Village is like, I'm not great at me. Your meat packing is like aspirational West villagers. Like you want to get to meat packing after West Village. Meatacking is like rich people. I would say meatpacking and Tribeca, especially if you're owning a property, any kind of property, it's like only rich people.

Like Taylor Swift lives in Tribeca, you know, so just to, just to, you. put in perspective. But got it. The West Village is also where they film the outside of Carrie Bradshaw's apartment and also the outside of the Friends building. But neither of those places are actually in the West Village, which is funny. That place we went to, I had to download an app to order chicken wings. And they weren't even good.

It was weird. I still have the app on my phone. At Santa Beer Garden. Yeah, it was like there was like some pop-up thing. It was like pop-up wings. I'm like, surely these will be great. Oh, it was because there was a pop-up there. somebody was doing like a and it was like download this app and you will get there was like an

nfts component too and i was like oh my god come on dude what year was this 22 it's just like two years ago yeah it was it was a bad deal brett's a nfts owner are you still is that still a thing no no it's an owner though i do have a sergey bachia or whatever no i didn't get a monkey i got a gift of a man dunking a basketball it's a sick shot NBA top shot i did it solely for the purpose to sell it immediately to somebody else and i ended up being the last fool in line who is holding the bag a disgusting amount. How much did you pay for it? Four figures.

No. You're kidding. It's worse than you. Immediately just to just to sell it because I was like this is I cannot watch this go by watching all this dog shit happen and not just throw my hat in the ring and I and it spit me back out. That's upsetting.

Well, what are you going to do I guess? Maybe one day. Somebody offered me $6 for it the other day. That's just a salt. You should have taken it. You just get it off your hands. I'm Dylan Diamond hands. I'm diamond hands. True, that's fair. What's the I do Dylan now?

Okay. So now I think you would live on the Upper West Side. That's where I live. It's also, it's very, it's close to the park, scenic, pretty, kind of a slower pace, good restaurants, good stuff, but also very family, like a lot of families and stuff. That's perfect. Cute dogs, etc. Dave, I kind of think you would also live on the Upper West Side, but I think you could sneaky

be an Upper East Side guy, not in the way that you think. I feel like people think of the Upper East Side and they think like, ooh, gossip girl, rich people, whatever, like snooty. Yeah. I think that most of the Upper East Side is actually also good restaurants, fun bars, but it has like a little bit of a younger feel to it. Like there's an energy about it. And I feel like I'm getting an energy from you that tells me you would like that. Well, it's very nice. I think you miss Red Dave a bit.

I'm going to give me. But there's still families and it's still not. It's like same. It's, I would say if I'm looking at Manhattan, Upper West Side is like Twilight. and the Upper East Side is like early morning. And I feel like that's your vibes, no? You're not wrong. I'm going to give Dave, I'm going to go off map a little bit here.

Sure. I'm going to give Dave. No, I was just like Brooklyn, like Park Slope, Dave. Oh, maybe. Maybe Parks. I wasn't thinking about Brooklyn. Dave, you can throw a beanie on sometimes and we're a little bag of you. Oh, yeah.

I know, I actually, I think you're, I think you hate Brooklyn. You know the little like the little visor piece on it? Yeah. Yeah, but like what in wintertime? So like a like a, like a. It doesn't sound right. Yeah, like Ryan Schectler posted. Sure.

Sure. Well, you know that that's not how, that's not really the vibe of Brooklyn anymore. I've been out of the game. You've been out of the game for too long. I am going to veto what he said and I don't think that you'd actually like Brooklyn at all. Maybe a Williamsburg. Williamsburg has now become like, that's like families, restaurants, chill vibe, walk along the water, whatever. But it's extremely overpriced right now.

We've moved past like the breweries in old warehouses to now it's like, yeah. Now it's like, whole foods every block. vibe. And if you're up for it, Randy would live directly on 34th Street somewhere, Murray Hill vibes in a high rise with like a bunch of other guys that look exactly like him. I really thought I gave a little more of Saratoga Springs vibe. That's what I've always been telling.

Especially not after that shrimp story? I'm sorry. I know. Get out of my city. You can't be trusted. No way. Am I right about that? Totally. Yeah. Randy's Murray Hill 1,000% Brother Jimmy's, which doesn't exist anymore. Right, Brojays is gone. Specifically with the four other guys doing all of the same. And the apartment would be like a new build. So everything is white and all the countertops are white and all the,

it's like the newest place is your own character whatsoever. A lot of Navy sheets. A lot of Navy. So many Navy sheets. It'll piss me off. And probably like a light blue couch. Oh, God, no. My place is very, I got a lot of good interior decorations.

Brett's seen it. What's your couch is like? I trust your judgment with that. Randy, his old apartment was a little bit more on the Murray Hill side. Like there was pictures of sausages on the wall. I think there was a Papa John's poster that was literally on the wall. You're thinking the same thing. That's the Jimmy John's poster.

That's in my office now. And I do love Jimmy John's. So he is now, I'll say he's upgraded. He lives by himself now. Congrats. That's big. He's a plant dad. Big plant guy.

Now you're talking. You should have said that earlier. Yeah. I didn't want to give him too much credit. Okay. Plant Dad. I'm still keeping you in Murray Hill, but maybe you could go to Chelsea as well. Oh, actually, that's a good one.

Chelsea might be a good. So Randy has an app that you would love, Ashley. Tell Kelly about your picture of this app. Is it? You're talking about my digital bird feeder? Yes. Yeah. Oh, my dad has one.

And he sends us pictures every day of the Cardinals that pop through. Have you had any cute birds come through today? What are names? I think I've had some house finches, house bearer. Oh, Tufted tit mouse was just recently. Yeah. Sam, some good ones. What's the Austin bird, or sorry, Texas bird?

Fucking grackle probably. No. They're all in the central part right now. Bird of Texas? I don't know. New Jersey's a goldfinch. I know that. I think a few states are goldfinches.

Oh, the mocking bird. The northern mockingbird. Really? That's exciting. How about that? I love a mocking bird. Wow. So you've got to see if you get them in your bird buddy?

Not yet. Most over 654 species. I'm waiting for the hummingbirds to come back. That's what I'm really excited for last. Love the hummingbirds. Do you have feeders for them with the sugar water? Hell yeah. Love that.

I keep those clean, bright. I keep them clean. Do you have the picture of this app for flowers? No. So you should get it because it will identify any plant you see and you can like save it to your own garden. It's like a yearly fee, but it's really worth it. Say less.

I'm like down there right now. I just go around Central Park like taking pictures and I add it all to my garden all day long. That's where I get my plant. It's like a roll in it. Are we in blue bonnet season yet? We didn't close. We're close.

Yeah. Oh, wow. I know. I know you're a big blossom. Yeah, I am. Is that a time here? I didn't know that. Yeah.

Should I return for that? Probably later this month, maybe early March. But it's when the blue lines, they all go crazy. I'm so upset that I'm here two weeks before that. Yeah. Well, cherry blossom season's on the horizon for me. So I'm excited. End of April.

Yeah, we don't get those down here. What? No blossoms? It must be too hot for them. Cherry blossoms? Yeah, cherry blossoms. Not here. I have a reef on my front door that there's birds that they're constantly trying to build

and nest in and I could hear them scratching around on it. And yesterday I had to take down, like, they haven't like put anything in there. They haven't like fully put eggs or anything. I don't set up shop, dude. No, we've had them in the house. And I'd chasing a bird out of the house is not fun. Oh, true. And they, if once there are eggs in there, they won't let you in your front door, you know?

They'll attack you if you try to get in there. And if you're not careful, like, I've gone, unlocked the door and a bird has just buzzed my head flying out. Wow. So, yeah, I had to like take out the nest. And I felt really bad because I could hear him chirping at me. And I was like, it's for your own good. but yeah, I did destroy a nest.

Did you have like a little shrubbery next door that you could have put it in? Did you re-home? You know, I didn't, I didn't re-home the nest yet. Wow. I got some time this weekend. It's on my agenda. Yes, you just have a nest like lying around somewhere?

I kind of... All that hard work? You threw it away. You threw it away. I didn't throw it away. I just kind of put it on the ground. Why don't you have Randy make you a birdhouse? Wow. I could do a birdhouse.

I've always wanted to dabble in birdhouse making. Make a birdhouse with roads. That'd be cute a shit. Oh, yeah. Your weekend, it's wide open. You could probably go to Home Depot and make one. Yeah, I would probably just buy one. That's what I would do.

I'm sorry. You should buy it. Well, will you buy it and then at least paint it your own? I could paint it, yeah. You could do that. I think that's a low-lip project. You could, yeah. Go to Michaels.

They would think they already have some. Definitely, yeah. I don't know. Whatever I do, I'll be doing it in rag and bone jeans. Ah, you mean like these? Love rag and bone. Oh, you might have noticed Dylan is. You probably noticed my rag and bone jeans.

I did notice them from all the way over here. Yes. I mean, what more can you say about them? Well, they're very comfortable. The quality is just impeccable on these things. I love them. I wear them all the time, Dave. I like their T-shirts as well.

Randy had one on a couple days ago, had the little face on it. Remember that? A little embroidered face. It's very comfortable, too. Good quality. I've got the sweat-pan jeans. I'm obsessed with them. Holy shit.

They're the best. I just sent you today to order. They're the best I've ever seen. They are not, you know, how typically you're like, oh, my God, there's, you know, sweatpants that look like jeans, no way. I swear to God, every girl knows. now that we've all discovered the secret, like the rag and bone, there's long ones that aren't tapered at the bottom, and then there are ones that are tapered. I have the tapered ones.

So they kind of look like joggers. They run on the plane a lot. They're the best. Do you that. Have any guests who watches? Sometimes we need a female voice in here, man. Sometimes. Take her word for it. Don't take ours. It's true. I also got a really cute brown corduroy hat from them recently. So cute. Well, check this out. With code steam, you can get 20% off sitewide. Hell yeah. at rag dash bone.com. 20% off at rag and bone.

That's going to like it. It's going to do a lot for you. You're going to like it. Upgrade your denim game with rag and bone, 20% off site wide with code steam at rag dash bone.com. Ragged bone. I love it.

You know, you know, these are these sponsors, by the way. I know. We really look up. Yeah. Sponsors. I'm jealous.

And zero deal sig smoked. Come on. Come on. You can tell them. You want you to retroactively smoked a bunch of deer. You hear about Dylan's joke. I had a great joke. No, again,

I heard whispers, but I love a couple weeks, no, a couple months ago, I had this killer joke and these two just, like, they didn't respond to it. I got nothing out of it. Why don't you try to recreate it? Yeah, I want to hear it. Yeah, recreate the atmosphere as well. Like, is this where everybody was saying? Is this the vibe? So we're doing a rag and bone read. Okay. Right. Dave's do it. He's leading it as he does. He's leading it as he's leading it as he says, ragging on as he says, ragging on them. And I got ragging bone on them. And I got, And they looked at me like, what are you doing? I'm like, what? I'm laughing at that. I'm laughing at that a lot. That's what I do around here. I get these guys gold and they just act like there's nothing.

And they don't know. I hate it. Sounds like you're unappreciated. I need new. You guys didn't laugh at a bone joke? Right. I'm actually shocked. They're gonna go.

Oh, all of a sudden we're immature. We don't do that. Hey, you didn't even get your, I got, oh, no. Did we just break the couch? He broke the couch again. Oh, no. The joke was too funny. We're good.

We're good. Jollon's dumps out. ass broke the couch man. It's like Brett's shoulder. Somebody just pops out. Really? Dylan, I get it. You got wrong.

I got wrong too. I got a whole Reddit post about how, you know, justice for Randy. Let's hear it. About what? I think someone was saying, okay, I think someone, these guys are over here talking about like the best year of their life, you know, back in like high school. It's like, well, no, they were. And they said, yeah, guys will have one good year in their life and like talk about it

for the rest of our lives. And then I said, I have four good years. Congrats. And nobody. Like tired. Just one under the radar. I wouldn't have gotten that at first. But I'm not in a car mindset.

I don't have a car right now. So I'm not thinking about cars. New York state of mind. I know. No cars. Empire. So thank you, Mr. Reddit man that. That's good, Randy.

Thank you. Hey, good too. That is good. That is good. They just got it. Very funny. They finally got it. Weren't they mad at you on Reddit for smoking weed too or something like that?

That was one guy. He, uh, he, he kind of apologized. Oh, yeah. Or at least he explained. blind himself. Rainey does a lot of drugs. Oh, same. It's okay.

What? What I think you smoke weed? We don't test here. It was just that like my weekends are typically nowadays just like getting high and watching movies smoking smoking weed. Is that? Would somebody call you a square? They just said that it seemed bleak.

Oh. But he's retracted. It's winter time. What else is supposed to do? We've been used a lot. Leaks such a mean thing to say about someone's life. That is super mean. Reni does something tell her that you'd actually

like this, I think. He gets really high and then goes on nature walks. Oh, I love it. That's literally what I do. I guess I'm saying. Everything he's saying sounds like my weekends. Like I'm, like, yeah, I'll get up, I'll go do whatever. But then I come home and I smoke weed and I watch movies. Here's where it differs. He acts like he's in a fantasy movie. Sure. My playlist is, I have a playlist called Traversing the Realm and it's a lot of Celtic music and all that. I just, I just feel like. The Celtic women? I love the Celtic women. The Gothard. It's not a joke. Celtic woman is on there, but the Gothard sisters on there. Okay. And they're amazing as well. Listen to Friendship blossoming over here.

This is great. Well, again, you led off with that scampy store, the shrimp story, and I was like, you're not my vibe. And everything else you've said is exactly my vibe. You pitched me like I was mincy, but in reality, this was just more, uh-oh, Brett's? Get the friendship in now. And here's the thing, because, yeah, Brett will burst this bubble later behind your back. So don't worry about it.

Oh, I'm sure he will. Build it up now. And then, yeah. Because then you're dead. But the gotthred women, are they the, is that the gotth girl memes you've been sending me? No. No, with the girls at Starbucks, I'll spin in your coffee.

You've seen these? I've been thinking about that too. I'm laughing just to be I-I-G-H. Yeah. It's not good. It's not good. If I talk about my weekends. Are you into goth girls?

No. No. This is just a meeting. If I've talked about my weekends, I'm doing a hobby, you know, for like three months in a row, people are going to get mad at me building the tree shelf. So there's no win. There's no wins here. You should just be yourself, Randy.

Yeah. Oh, I will. You don't have to worry about that. Don't worry about the haters. Wait, can I ask you a serious question? So you guys are friendly with your Reditors. That's a. I have a.

Yeah, mostly. We're lucky on that. That's a world I'm unfamiliar with. I don't, because the barso-reda people are very mean. Yes. Yes. Because it's too mean and I don't need to know that much about myself. They can be pretty critical at times, but the way I look at it is like if they care

enough about like, if like listen to us every day. Yeah. Then yeah, I'll hear you out. Sure. Okay. If there's something, if the criticism is like warranted, you know, then I'm like, okay. Does they call you guys ugly all day or? No.

No. I will say our, that's nice. Our Reddit, compared to other Reddits, is pretty mild. Like, you know, there's people that would be mean, but, like, not as often as other edits, for sure. It's, like, 95% like positive feedback. That's wonderful. Wow.

How lovely. That's nice. Yeah, I wish I knew what that was like. Barstall is a wider net, you know. True, true, true, you get a lot of crazies. It's a whole other thing. Dylan's kind of on a run of bad taste. They're probably going to be bad takes all the time.

Your takes have just been terrible. I think my takes are great. Yeah. What's like the worst take you've had recently, according to. the masses. The antibiotics one. Uh-oh. What was it? I said that I don't always finish my, my antibiotics cycle when I'm sick. Oh, it's like the number one rule, but I've also done that. I legitimately didn't even know that. Oh, yeah. Like, no doctors ever said, it's really important that you finish this. I'm like, you know, I start feeling better. I'm like, I feel fine.

I'm going to, you know, I'm going to save these. You got to get the rest out of the, yeah. So you just have, you just have like hoarded, um, it's been a long time. It's a good one to antibiotic, but yeah. That was one of them. The funniest one was the cold weather football one. It's such a non-store. Okay, it was more of an, it was more of an observation. But I think everybody just assumed that you were to take, like the next step in that take is that they should, we should play all playoff games in like a dome.

I made very clear from the, from the jump of that take, that take that wasn't my opinion. I love cold weather football. You're right? Anyway, we don't even get into it. Was it because of like the, because of the drama it takes to like play in the snow and the ice and whatever? The observation I mean is that like as you get later into the season when games become more important, like the playoffs, you play in these like really harsh weather conditions in Boston or Philadelphia or Denver or whatever. And the game is just very different because there's snow and it's cold and it's just the game, it's harder to play football in that weather. For sure.

So as the games are more important, like it just limits abilities of the players. and for some reason everyone thought that was the dumbest thing to ever say. I think they just assumed they were like, they were waiting for you to like, you provided some facts like some observations and they're like, and what's your conclusion? What are you going with this? And it would just stop there. So everybody just made it for you. They're like, oh, this guy wants to this guy wants dome football.

Got it, got it, got it. I mean, that's a valid point. It's like if you're a, if you're a southern team and you're playing in the north and you're not used to playing. in the north, you're probably going to play worse. That's... Sports with TV. Yeah. And that's talking sports.

And I do work for farceal sports. And then like the other one that people really hopped on was he is really, really pro Central Park Horses. Right. Okay. And that is where we have a divide. So yeah. Do you have a take on that?

I have an extreme take on that. So currently in New York City, there are, you know, the Central Park Horses, Horse and Carriage. I know it's like a romantic movie thing. But unfortunately, those horses are horribly mistreated. They are, they live in a high rise on 11th Avenue, which is like maybe the worst part of New York City, possibly, like in terms of, it's just a lot of concrete buildings that they store, I don't know what they store over there, but it's close to the highway and it's just this big, tall brick building with stalls in it and they like

make the horses live there. It has no, it has like holes for windows, but nothing covering it. It's just bad conditions. And also, uh, they have. them working like nonstop, like working too often. They don't get breaks. And what lately has sparked this, I guess, resurgence or I don't know what exactly you'd call it, but suddenly everybody else is interested. I've been screaming about this for years. Now we've got the push going because Eric Adams, our previous mayor, on his way out, trying to gain some good favor, like every single mayor of New York has done in the last decade, says, we should really get rid of these horses when he literally ran on the platform to be mayor saying we're keeping the horses.

So he's full of shit. Number one, everybody's hearing about it now. We're talking about it. We're protesting in Central Park. They got the kids involved. We're happy about that. But there are only 63 licenses for these horses. So 63 people and they're all wrapped up in the union.

And those people, what they're trying to pass now is a new law that prevents people from applying to have a license to bring a horse. in and then slowly phase the horses out. And that's called Riders Law. And they're trying to pass it. They've already denied it like twice. And it's a whole thing. But I would say that the main catalyst why I want the horses out is because these horses get a little squirrely around all the cars and all the people.

And everybody, like I said earlier, society is forgotten how to act. People will run up on them. They're scaring the horses. Cortozo. And enough horses at this point have escaped either with still attached to their thing. with people in it, they're running into traffic. Like, it's dangerous for horses and for people. And the people that, like, I don't know what they're called,

the people that, like, work the horses. I'm not sure really what they would be called. They just aren't paying close enough attention and not thinking about these things. And so I would say five or six, I think. Horses have died in the last, like, five years because of either they were hit by a car or they ran into another car as it was coming.

And it's just, and Ryder, it was the name of a horse that died most, recently. And so that's why this law is called Riders Law. And I'll be writing an animated movie on this whole saga. And I look forward to you guys seeing it in the theaters one day. Wow. Yeah. Are you going to voice it too? No, probably not. I don't know where my voice would fit in because, listen, you can't get me started on the Central Park Horse movie because it'll go on for too long. But it does, you know, it has like a young horse who comes in and thinks that it's this like honor to be a Central Park horse. But then he discovers that it's actually bad. And there's

like an old horse. And all the horses are named after the horses who have died. And at the end of the movie, it's going to be like all these horses died because nobody. It's going to be a, it's going to pack a punch. Yeah. Spoiler alert. But it has to be animated so the horses can talk. Love it.

Yep. I'd watch it. And that's that. I'd sign that petition. Thanks. Who would be your ideal person to voice one of the horse, like the main horse? Well, it's hard because the main horse's name is Charlie and he'll be like a younger horse. So I'd want like fret, like a younger, like fresh voice. Honestly, maybe Jacob Tremblay is kind of

getting older now and he could possibly be a good voice. But the voice that I'm having trouble finding that I would love is for the older horse who will be named rider. He's going to be like the seasoned vet. Think Gil from finding Nemo, you know, with like the scar on his face where it's like he's seen some shit, but he's protective. Like that's how this rider horse will be. And originally I wanted Sam, what's his name? Sam Elliott. Sam Elliott. And I was like, and I was like, That vibe. I want that vibe. I want that.

iconic voice. Yeah. We're out there, partner. Yeah, yeah. Hold on, Bray. Exactly. Are you watching, do you watch any Taylor Sheridan and stuff?

Do you watch, uh, what's the one? Landman? Landman. No, I'm not watching it, but my dad is always telling me to watch it. I love Allie Larder, so I've got to get in there. Yeah. I don't know if you do. I, you know, you don't, you don't, you don't love Alley Lardter?

You don't think that. You were sorry about the varsity. Oh, her character. You don't know if you need her to watch. I would never tell anybody to watch Landman. I just like to, I say this is what it is. You can either choose to watch it or not watch it. I can't recommend it because it is, in fact, objectively bad,

but I do watch the show. I like a bad show every once in a while, but it seems kind of up my alley. Yeah, it's a lot. Sam Elliott, why I brought it up, he's in it now. Oh, that's fabulous. Well, now I should tune in. I'm not going to spoil it, but he does have a.

Right, Thornton as well? Yeah, Bob, Alley, Larder. Yeah, he also, what's her name? She'll, she's been linked with Glenn Powell, y'all. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they're dating. They're on the St. Bart's yacht together. Straight up.

That's got to be the hottest couple in-certified. For sure. In Hollywood, right? For sure. Do you ever get on Dumois and check out the tea? I'm extremely anti-Dumwa. They do not check their sources. Really?

They just say shit that they want to say. Dead serious. Everyone in the biz knows that. Because there's no shame. Everyone in the pop culture biz. I should say. You call him Dave Muaw because he's always on it. No.

Dumas is like the, Dumas is like looking up Wikipedia, like on Wikipedia. Really? You can maybe get some information, see a photo here and there, but it's never like the full truth. That girl, and everyone hates that girl too now. Like, it's... Really?

I mean, I could not be more anti-D-Mu-W. Do people know who she is? Yeah, they found out and they're like, they're pissed about it. They hate her guts, whatever. I don't know who she is. No, I think she's got like a team now. Okay. I mean, it's very lucrative, of course.

It makes a shit ton of money. That's why they keep doing it. Yeah. So many people, celebrities have been like, you are spreading a false narrative about me. And it's insane. Oh. They also pissed off Taylor Swift. There was, okay.

I hated them before that. There was. Yeah, okay. That was the nail in the coffin for me. Okay. Her publicist tweeted like stop publishing lies about Taylor. Yes. I do remember this now.

Yeah. And they have the worst podcast. Oh, God. I really don't like them all. I just, I don't like the dishonesty of that. Have you heard this one? And you're in on traders. Way in on traders.

So yeah, I told you before the show, this is my first season of traders. And you've watched traders in the past, right? I watched one episode of the, of the, of the, you know, episode of the season that you accidentally started watching. There's a whole thing. I was part of the wrong season. What, last season? Yeah, I like-

Which was also a good season. It seemed really good and then I found out it was the wrong one. I was like, oh. But this one I'm very in on and everybody loves Rob. Or they don't. Actually, no, my favorite thing about traders, after the episode, I like to go look at Twitter at the people who take traders and like the personalities and stuff way too seriously. And like they like give like a full psychological examination of the person.

of the person. And I'm like, wow, y'all are really in on it. It's mainly, it's a lot of the housewives are really mad at Rob, which makes sense. I actually think you're wrong. The housewives love Rob. Dorinda Medley herself said that she didn't care that she was murdered because Rob did it.

She was like, it's okay, he can murder me. Okay, the housewives are mad at Colton. They're about, okay, they're definitely mad at Colton. Yeah, they hate him and they should. Speaking of Michelle Randolph, Cassie Randolph is who won the Bachelor for Colby. And then he stalked her, put a tracking device on our car.

We know. And then just pretends like, oh, that's okay. We'll sort it all out. He's got to blow your mind with this fun fact. Oh, I'm ready. He was like the first guest on this podcast. He like helped us want the company like literally. Three weeks after the bachelor stopped filming.

Yeah, I think before we knew who won. Yeah, we didn't even know who won yet. Oh, wow. He was in a golf thing in California and him and Chris Harrison were both on the show. Love Chris Harrison. He was really nice to us and Colton was nice too, terrible golfer. Very embarrassed to swing a golf. I'm sure Colton is nice.

Like here's the thing about it. It's like if you fuck up, it sticks with you forever, blah, blah, blah, whatever. I don't love how he just pretends like he wasn't a total fucking monster to this girl. And then came out as gay at the same time that he apologized about that behavior because then it was like, well, literally like in the same breath. The old Kevin Space. Sorry to my ex-girlfriend and also I'm gay. And it was just like, it feels really cheap. It doesn't work with your wife.

just for the record. I've been trying that at home. Sure. She's like, shut up. But yeah, so I don't, I didn't love that they even had them on traders at all. I was like, why are we platforming this man? He sucks. And then he turns out he was like a total douchebag anyway.

And he poked the bear of Lisa Rina, which I was thrilled that that was the bear he poked because she's the one that's going to bite back. And she has since posted that she, she's like, listen, everything that needed to be done at the reunion was done at the reunion. Whether they show it or not, who knows. And then she goes, you wanted a housewife, you got a housewife. Oh, shit. So I can't wait for the reunion.

He needs to just stay off TV. He really does. He also unfollowed Lisa Rinne on Instagram. So clearly there's a, yeah, clearly there's. What are your thoughts on Rob and his performance does fall? I like the nation. I'm captivated by Rob. I'm so charmed by him.

But I didn't watch his Love Island season. So I don't know all of his fuckboy tendencies. R-A-U-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-S-C-H. R-A-U-S. All right. Yeah. He's, he's got some questionable tattoos,

but like they work for him because he's just a really handsome. I think he's from like Alabama or something. Snake Wrangler. Yeah. He's, he seems very cool. That's like,

they called you that in college. Totally. It was a tough time for me. His gameplay is excellent. I, as a lover of that game, I think he's playing it better than anyone I've ever seen. So I have,

obviously, I don't have like context. I don't have anything to like compare it to. But as I'm watching, I'm like he seems like a total master at this. Yeah, he really is doing well. Everything he's doing.

Everything he's doing is like I'm loving. And then like I get on Twitter, like I said, which is, you know, a problem. Yeah. And I just go see and they're like, actually no, he's not that great. It just turns out like the faithful. They're just like the worst. They're just total dumb asses. I think two things can be true.

The faithfuls have no idea how to play this game, especially the ones left. But that is, I think, a direct result of Rob being smart and getting out the other people who would have who would have sussed him out. I think that the people that are left that are smart enough to figure out it's him are too enamored by him. like Natalie, Natalie could have figured his ass out week two. She's a very smart gamer, but for some reason she's in love with him. So she hasn't even considered it could be Rob. He's like one of like three straight dudes that was on the show.

Yeah. The other being Stephen Coletti. Caletti, yeah, from Laguna Beach. Yeah, I remember now. Kelly knows. Sorry. And like he's gone. Fast life.

You know me. He didn't get like, I felt like he was barely on the show. Agreed. And I was like, what's going on? He has no juice. But Rob has all the juice and everybody just loves him. Are you allowed to say what you told us before? I was recording about your...

Oh, yes. So, yeah, because why not? I applied for traders. They did a... They're doing like a normie season with like non-celebrities or whatever. So I applied literally yesterday or two days ago. And then I messaged one of the like casting people like, hey, just telling you I applied,

like blah, blah, blah. Try to get some... Inside track. Yeah. But who knows, I probably wouldn't be chosen. But I've never applied to a reality show before like a real one. Obviously, we do fake... spoofs for Barstool.

The Barstall one is one of the best produced pieces of content. But people don't think. Like, you know what I mean? Like the world isn't totally clued into the fact that like they are just as legit as the others. So I do feel a little prepared for a real version. But Trader specifically is the type of gameplay that I would be best at. And I very much would love to play a game where I'm in it with people I don't really know

personally and wouldn't then be later burdened by the idea. of losing a relationship based on my gameplay, which is constantly happening with the barstle shows because you've got to play with your coworkers and that's part of the allure of the whole thing. But once it gets to the end, I start feeling nervous that people are going to be mad at me in real life when the game is over. And to me, keeping my friendships is more important than winning. But now I really want to win. Like, I've lost four times.

So it's like I'm trying to fucking win. And if they put me on traders, that would be great. Maybe I could sweep those people. And then I can come back and host a barstle traders. Who knows? That's my, that's my, uh, manifestation. We'll see. That would be incredible.

We'll see. Oh, but the reason I brought it up before you guys, or you had brought up plane breakup, um, which is a thing I did years ago. I live tweeted a couple breaking up on a plane in like, what, 2014, I think. Blue my mind when I found out. Yeah. Yeah. It was like the most, the most viral thing that's ever happened to me, obviously.

And I think still since probably, but, um, one of the questions on the trader's application was like, what was the most. pivotal moment in your life and like, what did you learn? And I talked about plane breakup and because I had pushed a flight so I could hang out with my friends a little bit longer. And on the second flight that I, or the flight that I ended up taking is where all of that happened. And if not for all that, I wouldn't work in media. And I also wouldn't have learned the lesson of like online hate and how like hive mind the internet can be. Because at first, everybody was like, ha ha, this is so funny.

Oh my God. And we didn't know who these people were. Like I never put their faces. I never, you know. So everyone was just like, oh, this is such a crazy story. Wow. They're drunk. And then it just became this huge online discourse.

Again, probably the plain thing, plain etiquette, et cetera. But then the tides shifted and everybody was saying it's an invasion of privacy. You're a bitch, this, that, whatever. And that was like a good lesson in having to or learning to control the narrative before someone else controls it for you. And it was just a good thing to learn at like 24. It doesn't matter what you post. If something goes viral, like if you post something goes, you could be positive, negative, whatever, you're going to get so much hate.

Totally. The discourse is crazy every time. There's this football player for Texas Tech. And he had a cowboy hat on. Yeah. And this, I put, it looked like it was bombed backwards. It wasn't. It looked like it was.

So I tweeted about it. I got called gay like 200 times by people. Why? Because I said a cowboy hat was on backwards. People got really, that's the extent of it. They love that. I guess the cowboy hat wearers love to call people gay. Oh my God.

It's a very intense fan battles from Austin, which is, you know, famously not like not a very country part of the state of Texas. Sure. They lean into like, oh, liberal fucking pussy for Austin. Of course, course, course. Yeah. People were pretty mad. So mad.

We had to hire security for them. Yeah. I believe that. We thought the, what is it, the coyote mafia or what do they call themselves? Cactus mafia. Cactus mafia. Oh, is that real? We thought they were going to pull up in their lifting truck.

Who are these people? Is this a gang? Texas tech fans that have a little cactus emoji next to their name on Twitter. That's so you identify them. Interesting. Okay. Okay. And this is a community that they've created on their own.

Yeah. Yeah. It's a good fan base. Like, they're good fans. They don't want smoke. No, no, no. They're good in that they ride for their team. They're very passionate.

But. But if you see a bronch crease, which we'll get to it, leave it alone. Just don't comment on it. Because you will question your, you're, uh, so it's a new style of cowboy hat that you've never seen. It's just a very wider bend in the front. Yeah. Got it.

Okay, okay. Are you an expert in cowboy hats? I'm not, I do own a cowboy hat. I grew up in Texas. I own a cowboy hat, but I'm definitely not a cowboy. Like, I'm from this, I'm from Austin. Sure, yeah. I didn't, you're not giving cowboy.

Yeah, no offense. And I don't, I don't know if you're wanting to. And I'm not a poser. I'm not a poser. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's fine. Yeah.

Okay. Cool. Um, I had something about, uh, Oh, the plane breakup. Oh, yeah. Did you ever hear from them or, like, find out like... So I got a DM from a guy years later being like, that's me and my sister.

And I was like, no, it wasn't. And then I looked at them and he had like similar hair, but I was like, mm. And then I looked more into it and it was not them. He's like, that was me and my sister and we were speaking French. I was like, I was literally next to you and you were speaking English. He was speaking English. And also everyone around me, too. Like, that was one of the most validating things that's ever happened.

to me is when all that happened. People work using me of like making it all up. And the guy was sitting behind me when I stood up on the plane, like after we were all getting off, he was like, wow, that was crazy. And I was like had just turned on my phone and had all a sudden had 30,000 followers at the time that was massive. Everybody's texting me. And I was like, looking at my phone. I looked at the stranger. I was like, I live tweeted it. And now everybody's talking about it. And he was like, wow. And the week later, that guy like quote tweeted it and was like, I sat behind the girl that was tweeting this. This was a crazy thing to witness.

And I was like, thank God. Because I swear, people really like, people just didn't believe that it had happened. How far into the flight and how long was the flight, like, was the breakup? So we were, it happened all on the tarmac before we even took off. That was why we were able, like, why everybody was so involved because we were all pissed off, waiting on the tarmac. It was actually in D.C. I was coming home from Raleigh.

And I had a layover, or sorry, not a layover. What is it? Flight Switch? Layover. Layover? Yeah, yeah. I don't know why. I feel like some pieces are missing in my brain today. But so we're waiting on the tarmac from D.C. to get back to New York. And we were on there for like 45 minutes, I think, just waiting around. And for some reason, the beverage cart ladies were still like giving them Bloody Mary mix and stuff. And so they were just getting after it. Like they were hammered. And that's why this was like so loud and so, you know, involving everyone else on the plane who just wanted to get the hell home. So it became. this like big scene on the plane, you know. Who is the first big like account to like notice it and retweet it? Like how?

Um, the only one I can really remember is The Rock. The Rock had quote tweeted it. Anybody else failed a comparison to The Rock. So if another celebrity talked about it, I don't remember. Because he quote tweeted him was like, ha ha, wow, crazy story, Kelly. Like so funny. It's still, I think this tweet is still there. He tagged your name.

Yeah. He was like, Kelly, so cool. I was like, wow. Very cool. Did you all like blog it at TFM at the time or? I think so. 2014. Yeah.

Oh, really? It feels older than that. I'm sure we did. Yeah, yeah. I'm sure we did. It was my dad gave me, I was getting called. It was again, the first time that I ever like, I wasn't even working in media at the time. I had just taken a new job at some random ass place just like moved to New York, like because

it paid me enough money. And so this is like before I worked for Condi Nast and all I ever wanted to do was like get into that business. And so it was really exciting that it happened. But it was a lot at once. And I didn't really know how to handle it or what to do. And so I was getting phone calls from like the New York Post and whatever. And then they wrote, they like put it in print in like, you know, because the post makes a print newspaper as well.

And my dad got it and saved it and framed it for me. So I have like a framed picture of it in my house. And like the cover of the New York Post that day is like the stock market crashed. And then there's like a separate thing of like me and live tweeting a girl on a plane breakup with like all my tweets. It's funny. I'll send you a picture when I get home. I don't think I have a picture on my phone. I love that.

Yeah, it's like a silly, it was a crazy thing. It was so nuts. Man. It wouldn't happen now. Nobody would care. Like the amount of interaction that it got at the time, I would say, is the amount of interaction that a lot of, like, viral tweets get now. It just never happened then, so it seemed a lot bigger than, and it was, I guess.

It launched the Kelly Cage career. And now here I am. A monster was born. That's right. Now you're on circling back. Finally. It's been a long time coming. I know right.

Come on here. Did you never do a lot? Did you do a happy hour live? Like when we were doing the COVID live streams? Yeah. I think so. Did I chat? Yeah.

You remember. My sign off was when I was the headless horseman. I don't recall. I'm so sorry. Wish I did, but I don't. I remember us, yeah. Yeah, I'm sure. I think so.

I don't know if everybody was there though. Dave, I think you were there. This is jogging in my memory. Dylan, I don't know if you were there. I don't recall either. You'd remember if Dylan was there. I got to. I'm sure. Was I drinking? Was I drinking on the pot?

We all. We all like that whole thing. Because I, yeah, that's since I started drinking. We called it happy hour. So yeah. Sure. I would be hammered in my ex-girlfriend's living room. Right. Drinking. Sometimes shirtless. Well, we took our shirt. That was in Conor. Oh, I remember that. Yeah. We did the different. Yeah. Remember that still? Somehow Randy like knew Connor from something. Yeah. One of my Pledge brothers became friends with some of his friends in Dallas. Connor. Connor S. Bachelor Connor.

from Hannah Brown season. Hot Connor. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we all went shirtless. Right, right, I remember this. Snowway, what's his last name? Saley, right?

He's, uh, I still follow him on Instagram for some reason. He's an Austin, and he's like scaling, uh, he's doing like a mountain. No way. Oh yeah. Good for him. He's fit, he's good, he was a nice guy. Great. Yeah. Yeah, took a shirt off.

It's a big moment for us. Yeah, yeah. That's kind of our similar moment. I was a good bachelor season he was on. Yes, yeah. He was Hannah B's, wasn't it? We're going to do the next Bachelor. We're going to do the next Bachelor. Bachelorette.

Oh, us. I think we might be too. Utah, the Mormon lady. Taylor Frankie Paul. Are you guys Mormon, Secret Lives and Mormon Lives Fans? No, but we covered it. That whole drama from that, we definitely talked about it on the show at one point. And then, like, people were reaching out before, like, a couple weeks ago, like, y'all need to bring back the Bachelor stuff,

bachelor stuff for this because it's going to be a good season. I would be more than willing to come chat at any. point with you guys. Let's go. Here's my request to you then. You have to at least watch one season of Secret Lives and Mormon Wives because you got to get the vibe for Taylor before you go into it. That's a good idea. This is going to be unlike any other Bachelorette season we've seen before. And I know it's how I sound like an ABC ad right now. But like I've seen that show and I've seen how she is and what her life is and how like she's like a magnet for unfortunate things. And like she's got this deadbeat baby daddy who comes in and out of her life. Sometimes

he's on drugs, sometimes he's not, he's always cheating on her. It's like this whole thing. But she has a couple kids with them or at least one. And so that drama is certain. He's in love with her. Like, he's always trying to get back with her. So his name's Dakota. So he's 100% going to show up. Like there's going to be drama for sure. Is everyone on the show Mormon? They're all Mormon, but there are different degrees of being Mormon. And that's actually something I've learned from watching the show. Like they're all very, you know, they're very current. They're, you know, they love pop culture. They love like the lifestyle. that they're living.

The only thing that a lot of them don't do is drink, but some of them do. And they have, you know, they all just got married really young and have a bunch of kids. Like that's, I think, the most Mormon thing about them. But otherwise, they're pretty,

I'm trying to think of the right word. Like, modern, modern Mormon people. And they also, the women on that show are like trying to rebrand the Mormons. They're like, listen, we're just faithful people. We're not trying to like force you into having, you know, whatever. the, you know, fake conversations around Mormonism are.

I don't know. Feels different. It's interesting. What was that guy, like the sister wives or something like that? It's way different than that. And I think everybody thinks that's what being a Mormon is like, and they are trying to dispel that. De-stigmatize me.

Yes. Yes. That's a much better word. Thank you. The most dramatic season ever coming. It really, I really think it's going to be. I'm excited. I think we're finally getting a good season after years.

Yeah. We need to do this. We will. You got to watch a show, though. We will. Okay. I can commit to it. Yeah.

It's only three seasons, I think, right now. I'll commit to it if Dylan can commit to showing the folks at home is Ridge Wallet. That's why I brought it in here, man. Wow. Let's see. Yeah. Oh, look at that. Wow.

Gorgeous. I actually went to the bank and got this $100 bill so people think I have it like that. He has it like that. Gorgeous. Wow. Okay. Rich. Did you put that there before I got here or what?

Yeah. Good. Okay. And I do think you're rich now. I want to make sure you saw it. Of course. I thought you were rich, though, just based on the wallet, not the $100 bill. Exactly.

I used to be a big old. She's a pro. I had a big wallet, like a big wallet. like a big leather wallet back in the day. Yeah. And it was just, there's a problem. I really think, like keeping a wallet and sitting on it, gave me back problems for a time.

Yeah, that definitely happens. I've switched over there. I'm a ridge wallet believer. I'm a front pocket guy now. You go on front pocket? Yeah. And yeah, it's small enough to do it with that big, that big old leather one you could never.

No. Nothing's more embarrassing than the guy walking down the street, khaki pants, fat, gross, ugly old wallet in the back. Yeah. Dylan's just got, Dylan's got like the Zen outline in one pocket. It's right. You can't even tell. He's got that sleek,

Ridge. It's actually the Ridge 2.0, the most refined version of the Ridge Walla. That's the thing about that. And everything's bigger on the Ridge 2.0. 10% lighter. It's also better. Every gram matters in the Ridge Wall at 2.0. They found the perfect balance. And Dylan, did you know it has cash straps that are improved money clips and an air tag attachment? Did you know that? Oh, an air tag attachment. That's very safe. That's cool, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. I do know that. You got to watch out. You got to watch out. New York City. I'm telling you. Watch out. New York is. New York It's not as scary as the rest of the world is. I'll tell you what.

Put an air tag on that. Also, lifetime warranty, built for life warranty, just in case. But yours is in great shape. Thank you. Is that the one they just sent you? Yeah. Okay. It really does look great.

I got a other one this time, and I freaking love it. Over 100,000 five-star reviews. Proof that Ridge is a gift that people love to receive. And they're not just about wallets. They've got premium everyday carry essentials like key cases, suitcases. and their game-changing power banks all built with the same sleek, durable design. You'll find the perfect gift for every wish list. It's a good gift.

You should get your brother-in-law one. I should. Shout out to Kendall. Oh, that'd be nice. He watches too. You can't give it to him now. He's totally spoiled. That's all me, Kendall.

That's all me, Kendall. Sorry. Oh, no. Is he watching live? He's watching. Well, just forget that you heard that. For a limited time, our listeners get 10% off at Ridge by using code steam at checkout. Just head to ridge.com.

Yeah, where'd you go? I was going to ask. We're doing a rodeo name. Can we do rodeo names? It was like you were going to come back with some kind of surprise. And I actually had anxiety the whole time you were gone. I was like, what is he about to come back with? I should have.

No, he's the surprise guy, Randy. He's wacky like that. I want to do the same thing. I'm going to do. Hey, go take you, Dave. You just keep up the rodeo names? Yeah. Brett, I'm putting it on you.

Are we doing a draft? Is that we're doing it just talking about it? I think it's just. I would do it. Okay. Unless you want to save it. We have some fun rodeo names. So what, what rodeo is this?

The San Antonio rodeo came out. Jesus, Randy. Oh, my gosh. With barrel. Oh, we got ladies in the middle. Do you guys know who these people are? No, no, no, no. Okay.

I was like, wow, I've really missed a corner of the world. We love, we love fun names. Okay, great. These arguably, you know, You're in Texas now, Kelly. People get, I'd say, well, I'll just say creative, fairly uncreative with naming their children, especially when they live on ranches and whatnot. So these are, this is the current entries for the San Antonio Rodeo,

bareback riding and barrel racing. And we have some Alzheimer's. Doing. Barrel racing. Barrel racing, that's the only thing. I don't know what that is. They set up barrels, two barrels on either end of the big ring. What do you call?

The arena, the dirt, the floor. On a horse, as fast as you can, you just, you just turn around the, yeah, turn around the barrel. Yeah, run around the barrels. I see, I see. So there are like benchmarks that you have to. Yeah, I think you have to. Figureate it. Like cones, like barrels.

Yeah, got it, got it, got it. And then you come through the finish line. Oh, that's hard probably for the horse's legs a little, you know, you gotta be, you gotta have strong legs. You don't wanna tear an ACL or whatever. So I think, the idea is, are we gonna, we each get, well, We get three or four names. We'll go around snake draft. Let's do a quick snake draft.

We'll give Kelly the first pick here. You get to pick your favorite rodeo name up on the board. All right. There are a lot of really good ones on here, if I'm being honest. They all sound like rodeo names, which is probably the most important thing that I'm looking for. But I'm loving Sage Allen. I like the name Sage. And so I'm going to go Sage Allen first.

Okay. We get second pick. We'll do, Dave. We'll go. We'll go in this order. counterclockwise. I know where you're going. Wow.

Wow. Oh, bro, I didn't know. Back with 10 days. What's up, dude? I'm not the guy who peas a lot. I'm the guy who switches the hat. Is that Travis Scott?

Are you late to a chapter meeting or what? I'm just doing something a little different today. Got to do. Yeah. We got kicked off campus in Iowa. Everybody's acting so crazy today, huh? I'm rocking with Steely Steiner. Damn it.

That's a good one. Steely Steiner is my favorite barrel racer. I'm going Colt Eck. Oh, you guys saved. You guys saved my name. Colt Eck. Colt Eck. I take, I take, I can't believe he's on the board.

Branc Mariah. Yeah, that's, oh, wow, yeah. Bronc, Mary, that's your, that's your, like, bizarreo universe, Brett Mariner. It's like your wario. That's, that's, Pracus Brett. I should see. Braun's been to Pages. I actually look some of these people up on Instagram, Jaco Roper specifically.

There it is. Jaco Roper, didn't they call you? Never mind. Rady, you're up. Man, because I've never heard this name before. I'm going with Dexton Field. Yeah. That's a good one.

D-A-X-T-Y-N, Daxton. Has anybody taken Brazy yet? Brazy's on the board. Brazy's on the board, but I'm looking at Reese Redder. Was that chosen already? No. I already have lost track, by the way, but everybody's chosen.

That's a solid one. Reese Redder, I choose. I like a double, because that's my name. Alliteration. By the way, about 100% chance that all these people are Texas Tech fans. They're watching. They're hate watching right now. I like, I'm a big fan of like,

just like the understated Bradley Miller because it spelled Brad with L-E-E-E-E. I think that's just a nice West Texas touch. Maybe actually like an eastern New Mexico. I'm rocking with Wacey Shala. Yes. Okay. Okay. I like where you're going there.

I mean, is it too, can I just have Austin Toby? You guys are going to leave Austin Toby out there for me? Dude, the Tobs is yours. I'll take Austin Toby. Austin with a Y, by the way. You know I had a friend named Lentz. A lot of WISE. Huh?

Yeah. Eyes are out. Welcome down here to Texas. It's like Lakin, Bracton. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's trying to name her child. Emily. Yeah, with two E's, yeah.

My buddy Lance, I'll shout him out. Lance McElvane, a former. What name? Nice name. Roeo clown. And we would like, we would go hang out and we'd go bowling or something. He's like, I actually can't bowl with my right hand because I broke two ribs here like two weeks ago. And we're like, okay?

And you're just doing this? Yeah, he was just getting destroyed. There was a real rodeo clown. I like, I like forgot for a second what a rodeo clown was. That's a horrible job. Yeah, he was good at it. He was like a, he was like a, he was. There's like a known rodeo clown.

Damn. And they just antagonize the bull, no? That's basically their whole thing. They distract the bull away from the rodeo guys so they don't get hit. So we have a very well-placed connection with the Austin gamblers, our local rodeo team. Of course. Bull riding. Wow.

I think there's a world where we can get Dave on the dirt. I don't know if you want to do it. Would you get on the dirt? Here's the thing. I've got, you know, everybody's algorithm has like one thing that. you wish you didn't get served a ton of. Totally. Mine is, I believe Mexican rodeos where it's just a lot of people out on the dirt getting destroyed.

It's like they invite people from the stands down. Yeah, and it's just like, they're just hanging out. They just get rocked. They antagonize the bull. Why do you like that? What are they drinking? Huh? What are they drinking?

I don't know. But whatever it is. They're getting smoked. And I will say, I stop and this is how it. I stop and I'll watch the whole thing. Yeah. And I send it to everybody, which is why I'm in that vicious cycle of getting served. nothing but horrible injuries in the bullring.

But I'm not going to get me on it. I'm a little scared of a rodeo. I would rather ride a bronch. I'm like, I'm not saying, Brock over bowl. I don't want to get you on a bowl. I'm saying we can get you on the dirt while things are happy.

Either way you're getting tossed though. You're going to get thrown up. Yeah. I'm not a man of size. It doesn't take much to get me flipped up there. I've seen those videos of people getting a, getting a horn through their stomach. Oh, that's what I worry about.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't have that. No, you don't. Like the thing, the running of the bowl of, in Spain, right? That's not always like a fun thing people go to, but people always die as well.

Oh my God. What happened? Sorry, Will DeFries has sent a picture of his now drained thumb. I want to see it. Oh, they put stuff on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like iodine or something here. Just throw that around.

Let's pass it around. Live reaction. Oh, my God. Oh. You can see. Yeah. Damn, he's not playing golf tomorrow. Did he get like an infected.

You got an infected girl and it goes down? to have to my nana once and she had to do the same thing. It was a whole thing. It was cartoonishly like red and large. Oh, no. Did he try to squeeze it out himself? Got more infected? Yeah, he was messing with it.

Plus he was violently hung over yesterday. He was very hung over because of Tuesday night. And it was a whole thing yesterday. Wow. He'd been taking antibiotics and then stop taking them on Dylan's advice. True. And you're not supposed to drink and antibiotics. That's what I believe.

That's a real rule. I also don't follow. But you have to like, it won't work. Yeah. He kept it on the rails. And Will, Will is a great. dinner, dinner party guest. He does well.

He could be a middle, honestly, in certain situations. Of the table? No, yeah, yeah. You know, like, say you have a long table. Yeah. And you have, like, Dave's a middle. You want Dave at the middle. Put your biggest personalities in the middle.

Sure. So you connect both sides. I love to talk to everybody. Yeah. You've got, you're a natural. Obviously. Thanks, thanks. Will, he can hold his own, I think.

Yeah. But he'll get off the rails sometimes. Maybe appendants involved, perhaps. Sure, of course. I feel like I've heard stories or seen videos. But he kept it on the rails. He'd probably seen it over the years. And then he came in the next day.

It's just the most hundred over person in Austin, Texas. Damn. And he shouldn't have been. Sometimes it hits you like that. We said if you're doing antibiotics, while you're drinking, you're introducing a different level. His gut floor is, you know, the microbiome? Of course. It's important.

And you got to keep thinking about your gut microbiome. If I've learned anything about the world, that's what we're like. Kelly knows. You know what I learned about? or I had, I've been really hitting, you guys don't have any, any prebiotic soda sponsors, do you? No. Okay. I've been hitting Poppy pretty hard lately and not with the, or under the guise of thinking it was like healthy.

So I was like, oh, we're drinking juice and it's good for my gut. And this is great. And I love soda, but I had to cut soda out a while ago because acid reflux, etc. Dr. Pepper's my favorite. So Doc Pop, I've just been crushing it. And turns out it's just as much sugar. a soda. So it's really not a better alternative. I'm glad you brought this up. It's still delish

but it's tough. So Randy tell her, just Randy take it from here. Okay. I'm going through my list. If you can see here. I have gone through every single flavor. Oh, you've tried them all. Pretty much of all these different ones. I think I'm up to like 60 different dog flavors. I don't like olipop. So alipop, poppy, slice, bloom pop. Did you know slice has a

has a prebiotic version. I know Pepsi's come out with a bunch now. I think in 2024, they got re-released. They got it picked up by Target as now the prebiotic. In general, they are the really good flavors. They taste the best.

Doc Pop, I do think is the best Dr. Pepper. Like dollypop, Dr. Goodwin, I think it is. It's terrible. Absolutely awful. Just black licorish. Yep. Tastes like Robitussin.

It's terrible. But the doc pop is really good for Pop. It's pretty spot on. And I, you know, Dr. Pepper cannot be replicated 27. flavors, et cetera, whatever's in there. But it comes pretty close. Yeah.

Okay. That's so, like, the first time Randy told me he was like keeping the list, I was like, yeah, okay. And then, and he showed me the list. I was like, this is. It's everywhere. Most major brands are coming out with prebiotic versions. Oh, don't tell me that.

They are. Pepsi just did. Pepsi's like in the middle of it. You got some more. Some more list. To me personally, he's like no more probiotic soda. My gut is fine. Nothing to me has beat the alley pop cream soda, but that's, I mean, that's,

oh, true. That is pretty. good. That's the only, maybe the only eye pop all. That goes, I'll, I'll be crazy and go Stuarts for that, though. That's cream soda. You got to go back to the O.J. Upstate New York. Yeah, Stewart's is one and only. They've made it down in the city, huh?

Well, they have, Stewart's is just like famous, no? I didn't think so. You can buy the bottles in stores. Yeah, I mean, yes. Never heard of it. Stewart's a, yeah. Oh, I thought that once they put them in bottles, I thought everybody knew Stuarts. No, it's, it's born in, in upstate.

New York. It's our, it's our Buckeys. What? No. It's certainly not as big as Buckees. Stewart's is a, are you thinking about the right thing? S-T-E-W. Are you thinking about Stu Leonard's? No, no, no, no, no. Stewart's is like a restaurant, like, like burgers and fries spot that has good root beer and cream set up. Oh, yeah. Is this, okay, this is the brand we're talking about here? That's the brand we're talking about, yeah. Okay. Then just now Google Stewart's Upstate New York

and you'll see it's a very, I don't think it's the same. It can't be the same. It can't be the same. It can't be the same because the Stuarts, because we also had them in New Jersey and my dad and I would go for like a cream soda. Yeah, look. Here's our stew. This is this is Stewies and they sell their own soda brand. Oh, that's Stewart's shops, Brett. But usually, I mean, I don't even know if it's like, man. Well, I was like, hold on a second. Like, don't get me get my dad on the phone and be like. It's the same fun. Is it not random? They're similar. I mean, they're both like script. Type in Stewart's restaurant and see what comes up because I now need to make sure. Yeah. It's like a. Okay.

That's. Yes. They all have very similar logos. I will admit. I understand the confusion. Yeah. Yeah. That's on me.

So it's a different Stewart's. It's a different stewards. Okay. I was going to say, I don't remember it being found in upstate New York, but I wasn't about to argue. And I was also like not about to ride for their cream soda. It's fine. Not, not your, no.

I was like, I didn't realize it had the, it had the, it had the following. I didn't know I had to come all about to Texas to have a Stewart confusion with you. Just, there you go, old upstate New York, just getting shoved down again. For sure. Well, real ones know that Stewart's Rubeer slash cream soda is the goat, like the best of all time. And I have yet to try something better than that. They do like ice cream floats.

You need to have a Sarenach root beer. Oh, yeah? Which is better. Well, you don't even know it sounds. Well, I'm just going to, I'm going to harbor that take. You can ride for your team, but. When's the last time you've had a root beer float, right? I don't know if I ever.

Maybe when I was six. You never had a rupee Oh my God. I'm not a sweet guy. What's? What do you want up? Sort of. Dude, they're elite.

I don't, I don't disagree. I'm just not a sweet guy. Especially at the end. When you got your butter cream, creamy soup, whatever, would you get the apple crisp cream soup? Oh, yeah. Whatever it is. It sounds good.

What did you get? I'm a sweetest. I'm a dessert. Oh, I got bananas foster bread pudding. Yeah. No, I didn't have a, didn't have a bite. Where was that? Here?

On, on, again, Tuesday night or dinner. Right, right, right. Oh my God, but wait, I think that I might be, maybe I'm going there for dinner. I mean, it's next to dirty bills. It is next door to dirty bills. So that would make a lot of sense. Could it be a three minute walk perhaps? It's a three second walk, yeah.

Ranch 616. 616. 616. Their pork job is really good. Good to know. Really good. Also the quail at Ranch 61. It's very good.

They've got a, yeah, they've got a game, a little, a gamey menu. They do. They've got some good stuff. Okay, okay. What's this? What's the shot with the, oh, the pickle, the, no, the pepper. What's the pepper? The jalpena.

Don't, it's disgusting. It's dangerous. You'll like the vibe in the place, though. It's a, it's a good atmosphere. Is there perhaps, you said quail egg? Is there like a, like a steak tartar egg on top? No, I think it's more of like a, like a bacon wrapped quails where I was going with that or grilled quail. Okay.

I do like quail. They might have like a little leg. Machu-cru-a-oh. Oh, that is the, they claim to have started the ranch water. Do you know what a ranch water is? Yes, I do. We have ranch water in the office for a while. Get a ranch water.

Yeah, yeah, okay. Get a true ranch water from there. Okay. They'll like the way of a bottle of a Topo Chico along with it. Fun, okay. I like that too. I love a bubble. Cool.

It's a good segue right into this weekend and Fawn. Bro, let's go out this weekend. There's a crazy event happening. I like to turn up. Brod, there's a crazy event happening. We have a party and it was lit. I got yelled out by a prostitute. Let's just go.

Have fun. And they go with him. Let's go. Let's go. Of course, this weekend in Fawn is brought you by to Kobe's booze. They've got them all. Oh, these old things? Oh, shit.

Are you even pointed West, though? You know, hard to say. But, Toccova's, I mean, look, these are relatively new. They feel like boots I've had for like 20 years. I'm a generational rancher, though. That's the thing about me. The black cart rights recently. I saw you wearing them Tuesday.

I wore him Tuesday to the aforementioned outing. And, man, the store's great. They're head turners. They are. They're head turners. They're great. Already broken in. Handcrafted.

200 meticulous steps. I don't even need to look at the copy anymore. I just know. Yeah. Yeah. We love to COVID. You should go by, I'm telling you what to do. You don't have time to this. But they've got a location in South Congress. It's great. Just a good, you go in there. You get the leather smell. You got boots everywhere. His and hers. Give you a beverage. Wallets. Yeah. It's great. In-store experience is unrivaled. And listen, one thing about me, I love the shop. So don't tempt me. Don't have Kelly Kigs. Get you some boots. Or do. Get you some boots. And I don't have any cowboys. And I don't have any. boots right now. That's a, that's a thing I'm, I am severely lacking our cowboy boots.

Uh, well, we can make it happen. Okay. We can make, Brett can make it happen. Talk to them after the show. Perfect. Yeah, yeah. Bring me by. Yeah, we'll have lunch. We got a guy. We'll have lunch at at Toccovis. Yeah. Perfect. Right now, get 10% off at T-C-L-B-K. Right now get 10% off at T-C-O-V-A-S.com slash C-R-C-L-L-C. C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-O-V-O-V-O-V-V-O-V-P, point your toes, point your toes west. Ooh, I love that. Wow. It's just something they say, something we say. We've adopted it.

I love that. You put him that way. That's right. Yeah. West-ish. Bray, why don't you tell us what's up? Had on west. Follow the sun.

Man, you know what? I tell you what, it's going to be a big start to the weekend here with the aforementioned event with Kelly Teagues. And then some playoff hockey after that. Depends on if we win or lose, you know, that plays into what happens tomorrow. Who do you got tonight? What's the outlook? Well, you know, it's interesting, Dave, is the team that was supposed to, there was basically four good teams and two poor performing teams. Both of the poor performing teams won last week, beating the aforementioned Harbs' team in an upset.

I like how you didn't just say bad teams. You said poor performing like your HR. Yeah, you're just pretty good. You're trying to be nice. You're going to have to put them on a plan. So I'd put us, we're the favorites tonight, but anything can happen in men's league hockey. You know, that's true. That's the thing about it, Kelly. Are you worried about the narrative that if you do win, it may not count as much because

you didn't play the best teams? No, you know, that could be thrown around in the group text. I don't want to say it, but they were saying about the Patriots, they might say it about you guys. Right. That could be thrown around in the email chains. But all that matters is tonight. And then from there, it's the top team in the league is incredibly good. So we'll see.

You didn't make the schedule. I didn't make it. No, you play the teams. Exactly. You play the teams in front of you, Kelly. Are you the Drake May of your hockey team? No, I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say that.

I wouldn't say that. Like the Robert Spillane. Okay. Like a rotational defender. Probably is the best way to look at it. But yeah, after. Thank you. After tonight, not a ton going on.

I do have a bachelor party next week, two weeks after that and a wedding two weeks after that. Oh, God. And with a Dallas meetup in between. So this might be a week and I should throttle down. True. You got to rest up for this. No one goes to more weddings. It's unbelievable.

It's so true. He's like too good of a friend. I know. Say no, you know, be a dick one time. Don't you have one important? You got two in Europe, right? I do. I have weddings back to back weekends.

I didn't tell me this. We have a lot to catch up on. True, we really do. And we didn't get to catch up before this. So I feel like I'm missing a lot of information. I have a wedding in Portugal on a Thursday. And then front of the program, Matt Brown's wedding in Croatia, the following Saturday. Wow.

So are you going to do a whole trip in between? I am. Oh my God. I can't wait to talk. about this. I must have missed that on the PTO. No, it's on the PTO. He said the wedding's on the Thursday and then it's like, yeah.

You may as well. He's getting us. If there's a weekend in between, I would have to skip one. I wouldn't go to Europe. Sure. Back twice. Of course, yeah, that'd be crazy. But because they're back-to-back weekends.

That sounds so fun. Where are the bachelor parties? The bachelor parties are in Puerto Ranzas. Some are strongly at the Texas Coast. Yeah. Got it. Got it. They're calling a beautiful Texas coast.

Sure. Seaside of the south, I think, is what they said about Port A, right? And this is on the Gulf. Port A, Porey is nicer than people think. Porey is coming up. A lot of rattlesnakes, apparently. In the dunes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, yeah, yeah. That's, I never even, I didn't even consider. It's weird. Oh, get you. So we have a Porey and Austin and a Charleston. Oh, Charleston's lovely. Yeah. Ever been?

Charleston, Fox, yeah. Yeah, that'll be nice. Hopefully the weather holds out. because it's been pretty cold down there too. That's the plan. We'll see. So I'm looking forward to that. But that's, I mean, enough about me.

Dylan, what are you off to? Oh, thanks for asking. Well, Chelsea's out of town. Which means I got the house to myself this weekend, Dave. But I do have a Parks's birthday party on Saturday afternoon, which I'm very much looking forward to. Weird, we didn't catch the. Yeah, it's going to say, man. Yeah.

Is there a part of all that I miss? You know, I watch Stranger Things. It's like 14, 10-year-olds. Randy watches. It is at Penn's Mechanical, though, which. is a great spot. Fun place. Is there going to be a vignana?

Pinata? Yeah, we're going to have Dave and I on the corner and drinking out of brown bags. Our kid. A what pinion? Yeah. Do they sell booze at this party? No, yeah. Oh, yeah.

They definitely do. They do. It's a good spot. It's a good. It's a fun spot. Okay. That's a question, actually. I don't have children, so I'm not sure.

And all my friends with kids, they're a little too. I'm going to be throwing parties. At least, how parts are eight? 11. Eleven? Yeah. Because you would say, his viral tweets. His part's why I've changed.

Apologies. he's gotten older and kids, his age get older, do these birthday parties, like have booze? Because right now my friends are doing like one hour parties where they all show up in their sweats and the kids kind of playing a circle and then they all go home. That's actually, it looks awful.

You know, the booze, like, pretty much starting, like, at one. Okay. When Parks turned one, we supplied alcohol. People were booze in. Okay. That gives me faith. I think maybe the people that I'm talking to are just... It's almost to be expected, I think, at this point.

It's always expected. Like a Texas, like moving down. Maybe it is. Maybe it's just a regional thing. But it's because like we kids get parents drink at the end. Up north, her boozers up there too. Yeah, I guess so. But I don't know.

Because we're the ones who plan it, you know. That is true. So it's like, yeah, we're going to have it at this place and there's going to be alcohol. Because who wants to be there. And right, it's like you got to do something. I don't know. I just feel. We went all out for my son's first birthday.

Oh, yeah. It was opera ski themed. That is so fun. Large batch hot tauties. Yeah. That sounds like a really good time. We were going to. to do a rave birthday party for my friend's daughter and it never happened and I still am kind of

pissed so I want that to maybe for her second. Yeah, love it. Because we were like, everybody's just going to show up and get hammered and wear like neon and whatever. That's fun. Yeah. Yeah. The kids love to rave. Yeah. They do. I said that's great for the kids. We'll jump around and then they'll fall asleep. That's part of it. That's pretty much my weekend, take him out to a birthday dinner on Sunday with Chels and then parks his mother and stepdad. So we've got a whole crew. Do I need to ask? Isn't that great? Oh, I love that. Are you guys going to a favorite of his? He hasn't chosen yet.

Okay. He's probably going to pick a sushi place because the kid loves sushi. He loves sushi. Oh, my God. What an expanded palate? I love that. He's out of control. When was the first time he had sushi?

Probably late. My parents hate or my dad likes fish, but my mom hates it. So, like, it was never in the house. My dad would, like, if my mom was out of town, he'd like make himself salmon vibes, you know? Okay. Probably high school. I think high school, once we got our licenses, it was. like the sushi place was kind of by the school and you know you get the girls together and go

have some sushi. Okay. And then college it was big. We're always going to sushi in college. Like almost exclusively we're going to sushi. Be like college was a lot of sushi spots because you could eat your heart out for like $24. Right. It was also really cheap.

And it was pretty good. There was this place called U.S. sushi in High Point, which seems like it would be trash, but it was actually delicious. And they had a roll. They had a deep fried or sorry, a tempura, California. roll with spicy mayo and some other, it was like that white sauce. I think it's called shrimp sauce. I've only ever seen it in North Carolina.

But I'm sure they have it around here too. Like, I think it's a southern sauce. And they would do both of those sauces on top. It tastes like a Big Mac. It was insane. I think about it all time. Alabama white sauce. I think that I kind of, that's it.

There is an Alabama white sauce. Do you guys know about Tokyo Express? Is that a worldwide thing? Or is that also just High Point North Carolina? I'm familiar. They would give you like tariaki chicken. they'd give you a side of this sauce and you would just, and you'd have rice, the chicken, and the sauce, and you just mixed it all up and basically eat this sauce with a side of rice.

Yeah. It was great. Brett shrimp could have used a little bit of that shrimp sauce. Just let you know. Okay. Oh, did it? We had moved on. It was a...

Randy, don't remind me about that. I had already forgotten. She started to like you, dude. Don't ruin it. And now I'm pissed. The lovely burblank was plenty for me, Randy. Randy, what do you got? I got, not too much, you know, probably pretty bleak.

The people are saying the streets are saying it's going to be bleak. Dan and I are going golfing or playing golf on Friday. We got a 340 T time so probably won't even get the full 18 in. That's late. That was all that was available. Last minute booking. Jimmy Clay. Okay.

So going to go do that and then I guess the rest of the weekend is just kind of same old, same on just chilling. I'm going to try to get some sun because as you know, I'm going to Hawaii soon in like a month. Are you really? Congrats. That's so exciting. I've never been either. His girlfriend lives there. Right, of course.

To visit his, yeah. Yeah, so I need to get a pair. Sure. And so it's going to be a pretty sunny day on Saturday. So I'm going to try to get out and get some sun. Either lay out by the pool or go on a nice shirtless hike. But that's pretty much about it. Ooh, a shirtless hike.

Was that one for the ladies? It's going to be hot, dude. That's for the sun. Sexy. For the sunshine. Got it. Got it. Got it.

Vitamin D. All right, we're going to close it out with you. What do you got? I have a, my co-host's birthday party is. Tomorrow night? Oh, no, Randy, I'm sorry. No, this is two weeks in a row where you just have forgot that Dave has a weekend too. Well, we kind of know what he's up to.

He's finding a babysitter at the Bumble event. Yeah, I'll be going crazy. Check it out. I'll put some pics with the people. And that's it. Stoys love me. We know that. I'm all used to having five people do weekends in fun.

No, no. Kelly, you're the guest of honor. I've got, I've got my co-host birthday party tomorrow night right after we land. It's actually kind of late. I think it starts at like 11 p.m. which I'm starting to get to the point where 11 p.m. is almost a little too late for me to start the night. So I'm going to have to squeeze in a dinner before that or something probably.

And then the rest of the weekend, I really don't have any plans. It all depends on the weather. We're supposed to get hit with another, quote unquote, bomb cyclone in New York. And if it's too cold and people aren't, you know, it's a free for all in New York right now. We're just waiting for the snow to melt. Finally, the Hudson unfroze. You know, it's like crazy things happening. And nobody wants to do anything.

But this week has been. like 40, like I was saying, so people are kind of out and about. So I imagine they might push against any sort of cold front that would keep them inside and still go out. So I'd maybe like to take a walk or perhaps find a nice restaurant to go to something, you know. I hibernate a lot in this time. It's not a very exciting time.

Seasonal depression gets me down bad. So a lot of smoking weed and watching movies, Randy, you know? Hey. I know, you know how it is. I don't think that's bleak at all. I think that's better. I have to watch that movie still. If I had legs, I'd kick you, the Roseburn.

She's nominated for an Oscar for it, but I heard it's super depressing, so I've just thought been putting it off. My hairdresser recently, she recommended it. And then she's like, but it's really depressing. I was like, yeah, I'm probably not going to tune into that. You should do that and like Wuthering Heights back to back. Oh, I saw Wuthering Heights last week. It was so good.

But, you know, I would love to, are you guys going to see it? Are any of you guys going to see it? I read the Spark Notes in high school. Well, it's not really like the book, but I mean, it is, but it's not. Like, it's, you're going for the visuals and for hot, Marga Robbie and hot Jacob Allorty. Like that would that should put your ass in the seat. They're hot. I would say that like the deeper meaning behind it all is for, you know, for like the

whimsical girls who like yearn for love. And if you're not that person, you might be like, oh, it was fine, but I don't know, I don't get a hike. That's so us. It is us. Yeah, whimsical. You work out of wittling. Hey, Dave, what are you up to this weekend, man? I'm just hang out. I'll probably watch traders tonight. Yeah. I will watch traders. Yeah, we will watch. Oh, no, I'm not going to be able to watch it in real time. Ah, yeah. Shoot.

I'll keep my takes off to T.L. Yeah. I'm actually, I'm scared to tweet about it. I don't want that. I never do. It's like, there's people way invested in this. No, Traders Tonight. My wife's on a really cool trip without me.

Oh, wow. Which is great. South Carolina, actually. Fun. And so I'll be home with the boys. Got a birthday party Saturday, not one of my friends, one of my five-year-old's friends. Of course. And got tea ball, tea ball practice Sunday, the Cubbies, the Cubs.

Wow. Yeah. Coming together nicely. Okay. Yeah. That's it. Aren't you glad I got that in there? Is there not going to be like a, you're not going to go to the carve bar and.

I might. I might. My mother-in-law. Me? No, well, they have, they have meat there. It's the carve is the place by my house. That's a regular. That I go to.

In every sense of the word. Oh, is this like you always are going with like your laptop? Yes. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

Yes. I go there often. It's my spot. I go off menu. They don't have the kimchi fried rice anymore. I don't want to talk about it. You've told me about this place. But yeah.

And it's a good spot to just post up for a while. It's a really cute spot. I've seen those pictures. It's like a cute bar set up. It's very southwestern. Yeah. Fusion vibes. It's a good spot.

Steakhouse kind of. Swinger's vibes. I might. Yeah. Yeah. If you're in life swap, you can go there. Older clientele. It's a bit of an old neighborhood.

Your demo. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Barton Creek, wife swap vibes. Very much so. Yeah.

Which, whatever they choose to do behind closed doors. Might have saw one last night, to be honest with you. Really? I want to name names, but the group next to me was talking about in that territory. I bowed out of the conversation. Really? A wife swap. Wait, so you said you bowed out of the conversation.

Husband swap, too. It was what you're saying. It was a husband in town on a business trip. Oh. Who was talking to the couple ladies' names. nice to me about how him and his wife are, they dabble in that, in that cuisine. Interesting. And I think, is it David Harbor?

Oh, yeah. It was not. Dude, what's going on? Because he's a liar. What a mess. What a mess. What's his ex is, Lily Allen, which one of the best albums I've heard in a while, West End Girl.

Yeah, apparently it's a great album. I got in a week ago today, my wife picked me up to go to lunch and she's listening to it. She's like, I love this album. I actually want to travel to go see her in concert. Oh, yeah. I'm definitely seeing her in concert. I'm like, sure. Yeah, go do that.

I'm like, all right, yeah. And then I started listening to it. And it's very specifically about him. Yes. The one song, I'm just like, pussy pals. That's the one. And it's just like, dude, it's most, he's getting aired out.

He's getting smoked hard on this deal. She says one of the lines in that song is she's basically like, I come home and there's a Dwayne reed bag with the handles tied. It's like sex toys, butt plugs, lube inside is what the words are. Oh, my God. And so she's talking about how David Harbor, they were, he was like trying to sell her on this open relationship thing, but they had boundaries and he crossed the boundaries. And so that's now why this album exists.

But not have I seen an album airing out some man's indiscretions since lemonade. And so I, that's, it's high praise, if you know me. I'm a major lemonade stand. It's the only album that I would put ahead of like other Taylor Swift albums. Like I love lemonade, Beyonce, of course. but this is very lemonade-esque in terms of storytelling. I don't know who these people are. What?

They're a harry. Stranger Things. Stranger Things. Stranger Things. Stranger Things. Hopper. Oh. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah, he's a freak, apparently. Yeah, he's got a lot going on. Would not have guessed that. Yeah. Okay. Big time. You got to watch the Ark Digest of him and Lily Allen touring their townhouse in New York City.

When I watched it the first time, I always thought, like, maybe Lily Allen is like a kind of reserved person because in the video it's like she'll start to explain something and he'll be like babe babe babe I've got it and like he just taught you really just like totally stomps on everything she says and tries to say so to the point where she's like you do it babe like that's basically and so I remember watching the first time being like interesting maybe that's just their fun relationship but now in retrospect it's like oh he has no respect for her like that's very clear so butt plugs things of that nature sucks of way and read about that lube inside hundreds of trojans you're so fucking broken that's the next line

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Safe sex, at least. How do I get caught up in your double life? It's also the next. I really like it a lot. Randy points out the safe sex.

I know. We all know about this. Yeah. It's part of growing up. Yeah. Well, Kelly Kiggs, what a treat. You've been great. Thank you so much.

Thanks. Thank you guys so much for having me. Again, I didn't know this was going to be a live thing until 30 seconds before. So I hope that I didn't say anything offensive. I think we're good. You're welcome back any time. You're welcome back any time. Thank you so much.

I appreciate it. You guys are great. Where can we follow you? I, on all social media, I'm at Kelly Keeggs, pretty much everywhere. Sometimes it's Kelly.com. I think that's only Instagram. But follow that. Follow Taylor Watch if you like Taylor Swift.

And also follow the same page book club. I don't know if I told you this, Brett, me, Ria, Fran, and Gia started a book club. Love it. And it's been really fun. And we're reading the last letter by Rebecca Yaros right now. Good stuff. Love it. Do you do a crown of the horns?

What's the one? Oh, Akitar. Yeah. That's old news. My wife was really into that one. Yeah. Is she doing throne of glass? know? Almost certainly. That's on my list. I've been, I've been, I think of glass is good.

Randy's a big smut guy. I'm not a big smug guy. Thrown of glass is less smut, more war, so don't get too excited. But I would recommend thrown up glass to guys. I would not recommend Akitar series to guys, if that makes sense. You heard it here first? There it is. Kelly Kiggs, ladies and gentlemen. We'll see you Monday. Bye.
