Maddle Ranchos, Maddo Ranchos, Maddo Ranchos, Maddo Ranchos, and Mattel Ranchos. Yeah. Yeah. Welcome back. It's a circling back podcast. It's Thursday. Last one of the week. Unless you're a patron. and then you're going to get voicemails tomorrow, which, by the way, we recorded it yesterday was very good. I think you're going to like it.

It was very good. Great time to tap in. It was very good. Producing is always, unless he's on one of his many vacations, is Randall Trembachie. Hi, Dave. Hi. How are you doing? I'm great. Hey, that's a really cool shirt. Everyone was talking about it. What's, where's that from? You've been there? It was, uh, I don't know who to think. I know Brett gets a thank. In me. One thank to Brett, but we'll, No, the debate was you and Will. Will gave it to me and I gave it to you.

I directly gave it to. Will gave it to you first? Yes. He bought it for Will. Chain of custody. No, he bought it for himself. Okay, here's the story. Brett bought, they didn't have his size in the store or in the, whatever.

Was that a store or a restaurant or a bar? It's a bad. They didn't have it in, in the bar, so he ordered it from online. It arrived. It arrived, and it was too. small for him. So he gave it to Will. Will didn't like how it fit. Will gave it to me. It's too small for me as well. I gave it to you. It was passed down. But for causation, Will. Brett gets the most credit. He purchased it. I'm going to give two thanks. One thank to Brett, and I'm going to

let you and Will split a thanks. Yeah. He gave it to me. Had he never given it to you? It's true. You would have never been able to give it to me. By the way, it's weird to say he bought it for, What is it from online? Yeah, from online. You got it from online. Yeah. The brotherhood of the traveling shirt is what this is all about. I should get 70% of that second thanks and we'll let you guys find it out.

I've already given out the thanks. You guys figured out. If you're giving out thanks, can I get a little thank? No, you didn't do anything. I brought it up. We wouldn't be talking about it. You brought up the shirt. So you should be thanked for him owning it?

Yeah. I don't know if it works that way. Dave, you're the one giving out the thanks. ladies and gentlemen dylan shivery yeah happy to be here i'm happy to be here man that uh yeah it's gonna be a good a good day of content we got

we got ball to talk fucking shit like that kj just waiting in the green room man hadn't said a word yet well i was waiting the intro but you guys wanted to fight about thanks yeah whatever dude ladies and gentlemen from uh madison Wisconsin

KJ Ellis Hello welcome happy late of the new year great to see both of you it's wonderful we're already week out which both

he can do it no the first week of January we haven't had them on I don't know if I should have clarified but I don't know how you folks celebrate down in Texas but here in Madison Wisconsin we're

we're appreciative of celebrations from around the world. So it's really a happy early Chinese New Year. But I appreciate the clarification point. If you fellows would just indulge me for a brief moment, I'd like to catch you up to speed them where I've been, what I've been up to for the last few weeks, if you don't mind. Yeah, I just got to say the beard looks great. Thanks. Thanks, thanks, thanks.

It's winning the war. It's winning, you know, whatever. happening. But I don't know if either of you've gone through the process of renovating any rooms in your houses recently. Recently completed the process of renovating a primary bathroom. That's right. We say primary bathroom now. Well, that set you back. Thank you for saying that. A couple BTS speakers for sure. Renovation, new bathroom. Sure. And as you might imagine, I'm more of the ideas guy, more of the decisions guy, more of the inspo

guy, might even get my hands dirty when need be. None of this was DIY, to be clear. What I am not is the details guy. What I'm not is the final communication of the order guy. So, as you might imagine your first walk through into a bathroom. Wow, these vanities look great. I've lived here, so I've seen it happening. You walk into my bathroom, you get like one vanity this way, one that way. The tub, it's been replaced tile. You could have seen that in process. We didn't do the shower. It's a shame. It's a shame. Maybe next Christmas. Did you forget the toilet? Toilet was ordered. Okay. Not by me, though. So, Short of the toilet showing up,

looking like it's the toilet of somebody else's dad, you know, a different color or whatnot. What can you imagine would be the only thing that could be disappointing on a momentous day of which you just spent a small vehicle's worth in one room of your house? Hmm.

They forget to put down the caulk? Oh, buddy, we got plenty of cork here. Okay. Love me some cock. We know you do, Randy. Does the water not work? Water works. Everything was great.

However. Was it one of those squishy toilet seats? Close enough. Your boys got a primary bathroom with a round seat. And I'm just here to tell you at my dimensions, which are adult human man size. Sitting your backside down on like this. is a toilet seat, a round seat, not the oblong, normal, universal American seat. Okay.

Is a problem? It's a problem. I didn't, is that the new wave? The new wave is never to have us, no, it's. I don't think I've ever seen a round toilets. Oh, they got round ones. Oh, they got round ones. And they're usually in grandmother's houses or in, like, tiny, like, half baths where, like,

it saves you a little space. Dude, the cushion, the cushion toilet seat is the absolute. My grandpa had that one. Old people love them, man. They're so awful. Dylan, dude, how many of those have you blown off? Zero. Those are so uncomfortable.

Just the sensation of the vinyl, like, going with you as you're getting up off the throne. It feels like it harbors more germs and it's sticky. It's a sticky, a hot day. Yeah. Yeah, they're like warm and then, you know, I don't want my toilet seat to feel that way on me. No. KJ, dude, you got to do something about this seat, dude. Yeah, did you get this?

Buddy, it's not just the seat. It's the entire toilet's around one. What? And what it comes down to is, Or I'll look at it. Did you get the skeleton skull toilet? That's round. No.

If you look up elongated seat versus round toilet bowl, you'll understand what I'm saying here is like, this isn't me just being a little bit complaining about something I can switch. It would require replacing the entire toilet. Oh, no. Okay. This is popular in certain restaurants around Austin. there's a i think junes has june's has like a goaded bathroom and i think they've done these because i think i've experienced this yeah i don't i don't like this at all i think this puts you at risk all all all people at risk but mainly men who are you know larger big guys big guys

this is this is tough you got to be very careful yeah well if we're talking about details and toilets see the big guys have an advantage here uh sometimes you got to worry about the height of that at that toilet if it's too tall i mean i'm 510 a tall toilet just sometimes are you the lower it is the the easier it is to uh get your business done but tall toilet stinks i don't i don't care but either way you're taller the length of the bowl needs to just be american standard size let's let's just leave it there and uh somebody again who's not the details guy i was not involved in the order I can understand and appreciate that, like, if you say item number, 1,014 instead of 1,013, whatever, mistakes can happen.

I got to tell you, I don't, if I, I would allow the person who, the eldest person who lives with me to make a lot of the big decisions, I have to have, she's got to run toilet by me. Oh, yeah. I got to have some say in toilet. That's an important one. Not that I've got like one picked out, but I'm only there to like, be like, nope, not doing that one. I'm there to be the no man.

Yeah, you were saying she could handle all the kitchen decisions, right? Wait, go ahead. You were saying she could handle all the kitchen decisions, right? Because that's where she spends all over time. What was the joke here? Who is this? Your wife? Okay.

Yeah. Interesting. Wow. I did open up a jar yesterday. I opened a jar for my wife, and she said, thanks. And she's like, I don't know why I couldn't figure that out. And I mumbled the words, wrong chromosomes. I didn't speak to her again yesterday.

That's a doghouse. Straight up, KJ, man, I don't, I got to tell you, you are a true gem, but truly the hardest man to find on Twitter. does i for some reason when i just like when i go like at kj you think it would just pop up for me doesn't i have to do the e and then the two ones as ls and i'm like why why doesn't he just pop up he's the only kj i follow yeah search for kj ells with ones as the else that's where you can find me it may be because you know every time i post people are like hitting grok up to see if they can like do something more revealing with my you know quarter zips or something i don't know Grod.

Shit's getting wild. Okay, that's a funny bit. Hey, Grock, replaces a hoodie with a quarter zip. I'm such a gentleman. Just cover people up more. Yeah. I'm such a gentleman. I'm asking Grock to put clothes back on these young ladies.

Okay. It is layer season. Maybe that's it. How many collars can we add? Oh, man. Anyhow. Yeah, we'll need to do that bit where he quad collars. Yeah.

Peter, Peter. Barber. It's a good bit. No, the beard is looking good. It's, I, as someone who's, I mean, the gray is coming into my beard a little bit. I'm honestly, in a way, jealous. It's just, it's really popping, but it looks distinguished. Yeah, 2026 is the year of probably the strong decision of like, can we make this its own main character by the end of this year?

So that if I lose a different war, like it can just fully be like, oh, he's just beard guy. Black beard guy works. It looks good He does it ever KJ, it looks real good The gray is awesome You guys what I meant to say But yes, black beard is well fucking

I was doing Brett's job basically before we hired Brett avails is the industry term in media for availability like what are your avails on the podcast for ad spots correct and Randy just learned this today and it's it's upset him he's he's not thrilled about my problem is that brett shortens a lot of words that don't need to be shortened regardless so i didn't know this was an industry term like whenever he says like sigovs i i hate it i don't know why but he does that all the time it's a good example of like it saves you time with sigoths he does do it a lot of useful yeah you're saving a lot of syllables with that yeah a lot of sales dom vi i i rock with the abbreviations you're rocked

I got a couple things here, though. got a little quick seg just want to get it out of the way quick seg from dave is this dave's thing

yeah i added to it but yeah this is dave's thing i heard something i was told something and um i made a mistake first i heard something in the office this morning i heard rand we were talking about randy's like hobbies and like how he likes to you know do occasional woodwork things of that nature yeah randy said he wants to learn how to make jewelry. Yeah. I just thought that was... I just want to know more things.

You want to know more things. I want to know how to do everything. I too want to know more things. I want to know how I do everything in the world. There's just not enough time. But there's plenty enough resources. Yeah. I think it's pretty cute that you have a girlfriend now and now you want to make jewelry.

That's pretty cute. You get a cute point. Arup. His own homemade Prince Albert. KJ thoughts on the former I'm yeah more of a Jacob's ladder guy but I respect it yeah I don't I don't have thoughts on the jewelry making I agree ironic timing super hot GF by the way wow thank you KJ just me make it cool it though too KJ well did he out kick his coverage

I mean, this guy. But Randy is a man of many talents. We're aware of that. What was going through my head is like a Randy micro-esque show where like Randy tries some shit. I would love that. Yeah. And I think he'd be really good at that until they asked him to do some shit.

He like should be able to do. Like read? Communicate effectively. Randy interviews some people on the street. that might be that would not work out well that's not a bad idea it's teleprompter randy does stuff it's just like we like pick something all right you're going to go down to uh you got to go to the mall today you got to go interview some people you got to go interview people ask people if they know who les wexner is outside of Victoria's Secret speaking of the mall got subpoenaed did you know

that there's like an airsoft shooting gallery at the mall right now I think it's like it's like a target practice thing and like you can win stuffed animals I think it's like one of those ones we have to shoot out the star it's just at the mall it's just one of the stores in the mall dude we should go down to the court

get a little buysed up they go down there and get some stuffed animals yeah but yeah I want to make rugs I want to learn how to do jewelry I want to do all the stuff he wants to learn how to make rugs

rug making is very big right now people make really cool designs for rugs okay there might be content here yeah do you need a co-host or is it just you so you want to be my like my little psychic no no they every episode of day it's like i don't think he's going to learn how to do it i don't know man he's up against it dude i don't think he can do it what do you think dylan you're awfully quiet i was going to say maybe let's like learn one thing at a time yeah that'd be

each episode don't bite don't bite off too much her jack of all trades master of none Exactly. So that was your first thing? Something I was told recently at ThunderCloud Subs. The extremely Gen Z young lady asked me if I had ever been told I looked like a famous person. And I said, actually, yeah, I have a couple. A guy in high school told me I looked like Pee Wee Herman, and I wanted to fight him. Not, I didn't like, but I was whatever.

And then a girl I went to high school told me, look like Bear Grills. Okay. Pre moustache. I can see this. Later on, a young lady who works at my kids' daycare told me I look like Mac DeMarco, a singer I had to look up. I don't know who that is.

And then at ThunderCloud, then when I asked her and she said, you look like Justin Gagey, noted UFC fighter. What? I'm glad you pointed out the Super Gen Z part of it because I'm like, wow. Is she aware of Justin Gagey? I would never been told that before. Justin G-A-E-G-A-E-T-H-J-E. I don't know.

What's his name, Justin? What's some cauliflower ear on Dave then maybe, but... Girl, I'm not really seeing it. I'm not really seeing it. Okay. He's got a cauliflower eye kind of, too. Like, it's a little bit like Appalachian face. Let me just say, I didn't walk out of there thinking, like, I wasn't, like, gassed up.

Like, oh, I still got... It was just like, what? no one's doing yeah this guy yeah i don't see it yeah you're so much better looking david oh my god it's not insulting though to like be like oh they thought you looked like and i'll say that like maybe you were just like an extra vascular that day i was wearing a new sweater my mom got me for christmas oh yeah i'm not seeing it uh and then a mistake i made last night uh i tried to do a short quick grill sesh, not like one of the ones that requires you to go in and out of the house like a lot instead of like, you know, just throw the ribs on, forget about them for a few. No, and that doesn't

work when you've got a two-year-old. I just want to point that out. I realize I was like, this is why I don't grill. This is why I don't do it. We were doing this Mediterranean chicken dish. I was like, oh, let's grill the chicken. I haven't grilled chicken in a long time. Just chicken rests. And, uh, you know, with chicken, you go in and out and you're always, I threw some zucchini on too. Every time I went out there, he wants to come out. And I don't want him to get near the grill. He's like trying to unplug the grill, trying to press buttons. And I was like, this is, I can't do this. This is, this is a mistake. So that was a mistake I made last night. So that's that been there, brother. Well, thanks for sharing, man. Okay. I was hoping to get

a little bit more interaction from the content I provided, but. I know where you're at, like I've said before, I think, I've not touched or seen my Blackstone or my grill slash smoker. Got like a Weber, Komodo style grill, smoker, whatever, in some time. And it's strictly because of like the whole immediate interest from the kids. Now, this summer I'll have four. four and a six year old so like we're getting to the age where like they get it they'll keep their distance but like yeah it's just it's a lot so even if you gave them an activity nothing's

going to keep them away from like holy shit that thing is making my dinner interested and there's fire interested the and dad's there the smoke element's big player i need to get back in the smoking game man my my smoker my big offset's been out at the ranch for years now because that thing i've seen that thing it's a large absolute beast and to move it, it requires a major effort. That's a serious tailgate guy, smoker. Yeah, except you can't pull it on a trailer. It has these big, like, iron spoke wheels.

So it's, it's very, it's pretty immobile. Yeah. Do you know how to weld, Randy? No, I'd love to learn. That's your next one. Let's figure it out. Can you smoke hard-boiled eggs? Would smoky eggs be good?

I don't know. It's actually, can you smoke? So boil them and then smoke them, you're saying? Yeah, I'm sure you could. It's good. I had a little smokeflave too. I don't know. Hey, you know who has good deviled eggs?

Tell me. I meant to mention this in the bullpen. Tumble 22. Facts? We just ran and we got, we ordered there recently, got chicken sandwich. And Alyssa's like, oh, let's try the deviled eggs. They do a little bacon in them. They're very good.

Okay. We'll try. And they traveled decently. You wouldn't make a devil egg would travel, but it. But it kind of did. I love a doubled egg. Yeah, dude. Yeah.

Okay. Fucking A. Um, and that is Dave's thing. The first and last time, Dave's thing is on the rundown. You got some things.

I just wanted to put that out there. Thanks for sharing me. I like to learn about your life a little bit. I just wanted to put it out there. I did, I just heard some things that heard Randy was trying to get into jewelry making. And I thought that was interesting. He was told something and then he made a mistake.

And, uh, and rug making. Rug making. If I, if I can make you a piece of jewelry, what would you like me and make you? You sent me something. slack rug

can you make me an ankle is you want me and make you an anklit yeah Dave yeah I heard you

just discovered kind of like us dude looking forward to trying it imagine your feet pick once you have

an ankle I know dude that's an investment will you make me will you go to Michaels and get like a hemp

market whole foods I think is it whole foods yeah like real crunchers uh I mean they sprouts is the Whole Foods started that way. Yeah, sprouts is the move right now if you're going to say like straight crunchy. Because Whole Foods got bought by Amazon. So everything after that sprouts is your brain. Whole Foods feels performative crunchy. Central markets for real eaters. Say what?

It's a good feeling. This is as cordials we're going to be because this weekend's going to be particularly contentious.

He doesn't realize on both fronts that I'm aggressively rooting against his teams, but we can start on either side if you like. Let's start a Brett's wearing an Ole Miss hoodie. Let's just let's just start with what the game, what we got tonight. We got Ole Miss, we got Miami. We do. We do. Where are you watching the game?

I'm going solo on my couch. I've turned big games. That's how you got to do it. I've turned down plans to go to a bar and watch, and I've turned down plans to go to Omar, shouts to the friend of the program, Omar's house and watch. It will be solo, solo mission on the couch at home. Okay.

All in there. How are you feeling? Okay. Point. Be honest. You're wildly confident. I'm more confident than I was against Georgia. I'll put it that way.

I, like, there's a world. I don't think it's a blowout by any means, but I think there's a world where, like, 41, 20, shows up, Ole Miss Rebs. Shoes! Whoa! I also think there's a world where Ruben Bain gets after that ass, and it's a 17-17 dog fight in the fourth quarter.

That dude's a monster, man. He said gets after that ass, Gata. Yeah. Shout to Coach Brewer, one of my seventh grade coaches, who I think got suspended for saying that on announcements. Was that your nickname? Because he was getting after all that ass out there? He said last night, the boys, the B-team went, he said they, they, they

got after that ass. And everybody's like, ooh, shit, I said that cool. Dave had nose tackles just plugging all the holes, dude. I thought that was your nickname in college because you were doing so many datertails. Stop, dude. Okay. He was ready to defend Dave. Come on, man.

KJ, you're pulling from the canes, ironically? 1,000 percent. I've got to fly my ACC flag. I've got to be the person that I hate so, so, so much. And not only because it's the ACC flag, that's part of it, I think we've made our point by getting to this point. Yeah, we. But SMU also, I feel like it was an overtime game.

So it can be like, oh, they beat the hell out of Miami. But they were in control of the Miami game for 90% of the game. There was a very brief moment where it was a little bit close. And from there on, SMU won that game comfortably. So again, to make it all about me and to make it all about the conference, we, which are both insufferable things to do as a sports fan, that's who I've got to be tonight. weirdly when the Pete Golding thing was announced

I felt it was very convenient for him to be in that position I felt like it was a rush to make a decision given like the timing of the playoffs and potential players leaving and all of these things and where Kiffin had got was going so I was a little concerned with the decision I was so excited to see them win the game last week was very happy to see that go down

and it looks like everything that's happened since Golding's like unfortunate DUI like five years ago. The dudes put his like he's a much different person now. And I'm not trying to just throw a stray out there, but like you look at the photo from him getting arrested then to the person who's like on the podium now, either they've just got better tanning beds in Oxford or the dudes like definitely been in ketosis

and definitely gotten some shit straight, which I think that's respectful. The anti-Josh Hypole, you're saying. I can't just let the bad live. That's a stray. But yes, definitely on the anti-hypo campaign. To be fair, he puts off DWI vibes. Josh Hypo?

No. He does, too. Golding. But like back in the day, not like modern. Like, you look at him, you're like, okay, that was in play. But that applies to a lot of people. He looks top-tier Ole Miss Frat. That's how he looks.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah. He's got some salt and peppery. I, I, to be fair, Keisha, you're absolutely right. I was hesitant myself. I mean, it was, it was sort of a rush and, and I think they wanted some roll and and he had moved on to Florida and it was kind of like, all right, well, we got a guy in the building who knows these players extremely well and they said, shoot, and then since

that day, Pete has been unbelievably impressive and he's done well at press conferences. He needs to clean up a little thing like he loves to just cuss a bunch on the mic. I'll tell you what he's not good at Clock management You should have had another field goal At the end of the first half And at the end They almost lost it at the end

I was watching him like Where's he about to jump in here There was two big parts of that game last Last time That they could have For Randy to have this wrong of opinion About college management A guy who doesn't speak up about football ever

They should have had a field goal At the end of the first half And then they almost lost it Because they didn't even go for the ball I think that the end of the half, that was more on the player. That was true, but you got to get out of bounds there. You got to get out of bounds.

You're right. You have to hammer that into his head. But I don't think that's like, I don't think that's like, you got to hammer that in his head. You got to get out of bounds. You got to get out of that. You should never been that close up there. It should have been a feeling of it.

Yeah. Right. But anyways, yeah. It was interesting. The end of that game. You want to talk, you want to talk bad clock management. How about, Christabal might be. We've seen it before with an public enemy number one.

It's true. Yeah. First of all, as in certainly, uh, Oh, Hanks. It's,

it's going to be an interesting matchup because Ole Miss has the talent to keep up with Malachi Tony. But Malachi Tony is proven outside of the SMU game and what you didn't do a lot of damage, not specifically making about us, but that's like one of his few bad games, quote, unquote.

The guy makes plays when they need them. It's weird to be that leveraged on one person because they weren't leveraged only. on him in the A&M game, except for the touchdown, they ran the ball and controlled the game with somebody else. So I don't know. I just hope both teams have fun. What I don't want more than anything is that Ole Miss wins and Natty, and we have to continue hearing about the SEC.

Like, selfishly, that's what I don't want. You put Ole Miss in the Big Ten, and I'd be happy with them having success. And it's not because I hate the SEC. The last two weren't SEC. Yeah. I agree. The last two were Big Ten. Still rolled into this season talking shit about fucking Missouri being good.

Speaking of over cussing, I'm sorry. We're talking about Missouri being good. Talking about like Arkansas losses being meaningful. Talking about like all of these SEC like teams being worth our attention. LSU value valuable losses for these teams. Until we step back from that ledge, like treat it more like the Big Ten is, people recognize the Big Ten has like a strong core at the top. Yeah.

People didn't even respect like a win over USC for Notre Dame. And they should have been one of those top teams in the Big Ten, like, section. Until people treat them like that, like I'm just going to always be on a soapbox of like, these preseason rankings are to blame for all of the CFPA chaos. Like, it's the rankings problem. That's where the issue lies. So you were saying that Notre Dame, you were saying the Notre Dame should join the ACC in football. Because they're already ACC everywhere else.

I think Notre Dame can get fucked, but yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. No, I'm excited. I think I'm very nervous about Ruben Bain. I'm very nervous about Fletcher, the running back. I'm very nervous about Tony. I think those, you have three studs.

I'm not, as I knocked on all of the wood, Carson Beck doesn't scare me as much as Fernando Mendoza would or a Dante Moore would. He'll throw it in the traffic. He'll throw in the traffic. You watched the Ole Miss Georgia game last year when, the Ole Miss defense had Carson Beck in hell. I'm just saying. He's seasoned, though.

He's played a lot of big games. A lot of big games. I just think if Ole Miss is like, we're going to stop Fletcher, make Carson Beck beat us, then here we go. What do we got? If Fletcher can run the ball down Ole Miss's throat, then we're looking at a 17-17 game and who knows what happens. I'm hoping it's a shootout.

I think a shootout plays in Ole Miss's favor. How are we feeling about the other game? Oh, go ahead, KJ, go ahead. I was going to rest really quickly. Can I ask your opinion, Brett, since like again, you mentioned you're watching this at home. Mm-hmm. Do you have strong opinions about CFP putting this on a Thursday night to stay far away from an NFL playoffs? Like, there is a situation where they could have put these games on like during a day on Saturday.

Yeah. And like on head to head for one of the games. And I think people would be watching CFP semi over the Saturday night wild card games. I don't disagree. I wish it was on Saturday. I think it kind of felt rushed to go Thursday to Thursday. It just felt, it feels weird. I obviously get the TV ramifications of it. You'd rather have your own slot than split it with somebody like Randy was saying. But no, I think it shouldn't, you know, in a perfect world, we fixed the calendar and it goes Saturday after the, you know, after rival for your week, you get the 16 verse 1 or whatever. And you just do Saturday, Saturday, Saturday all the way through. That's perfect world. Yeah. So I don't have a strong opinion. Do I wish it was on Saturday afternoon? Yes. Am I okay with a Thursday night? Sure. I really don't like the Monday night, Natty. That, that one can. It's always. Are we keeping Monday? I thought it was. I don't know for sure if it's Tuesday or I swear. I thought the date was the 20th and not the 19th, but I could be way off. Notably, I'm wrong when I'm just grabbing shit from memory. So I don't know. But anyway, no, I let's talk about the other game. Yeah. Oregon, Indiana, the Mendoza, you know, the, he loves trains for sure. What does that mean, though?

I don't understand. He's just got, he's got some unique interests, Dave. Like, run it. Like, what do you mean? Randy is sitting right here, chill. Randy's looking up a jewelry making course. I actually was at Home Goods the other day, and there was a train bar set, and I kind of wanted it. Oh, boy.

It was cool. The steam engines were like an ice bucket and a shaker. It didn't run on drops of Jupiter. Dude, I'm finished discounting Indiana and expecting them to... I know. I keep expecting

like the talent disparity to catch up to them and they just keep proving me otherwise. They beat Oregon. I think they do. Even though they probably overall a less talented

football team, they're just fucking cruising right now. They look too good. Fuck them. I think Cignetti is the best coach in the college football.

Dude, he's great. He's unbelievable. And they're a talented team. So is Oregon. like the organ can run it up on you but the way indiana what they did to alabama changed like that's where my perception changed i because i was like you i was kind of like well you know they they're at indiana still and they struggled with penn state i mean they beating ohio state and and did it convincingly beat the fuck out of alabama part of like to french

they went to oregon and beat oregon yeah a 10 yep and so they're good man they're good i think I like, I like Dan Lanning as well. I think Oregon, you know, it's tough to beat somebody twice, as they say, KJ. You know, and so I, again, that's a three, three and a half point spread, whatever that is. And I think it's a good game. I'm kind of trying to figure out what to make of the Oregon Tech game. Because like, obviously Tech Morton played awful, like his worst game ever. But like how much of that was, like, did Oregon just really like because they were really good in the trenches, right?

Their line, like O line, D line. how much of that is like tech hadn't played a game in like a month right versus like no they've kind of stepped up and now they look like I because I want to say this is like a field goal game is that the right line for four points I saw three or three and a half four four four is favored by Indiana is favored by four okay that's the game like I take the points but I don't feel confident about it I mean what are you going to get out of like Oregon skill guys like decorian more is he playing he Played last game. Okay. Yeah. So everybody, but Oregon's got, oh, their freshman stud running back is out, right? Well, I don't even know. They had one guy hit the portal.

Yeah. Right. Like, okay. Before the semi-final round, like, that's tough. And then, you know, Oregon may have the advantage with their, um, their running back coach and their assistant head coach, Reginald samples. By the way, Oregon's just all, vault, shooting out bids to Duncanville guys, according to the retweets I've been seen. Yeah, their whole. freshman football team. The freshman football team is getting Oregon offers. What's going on? Yeah,

that, I'm excited. This is, this is good fun. But can we pivot? We're down there. Can we pivot NFL real quick? We can. Let's go ducks. That's all I have to say. Hopefully they have fun. I would like Indiana to win. Like, I think an Indiana Ole Miss championship game would be really cool. Like, it's a new, it's a new generation of college football at that point. It'd be the least obnoxious coaching interviews. I don't want to watch in landing for another week being oh you can only give me crazy eyes and me feel like oh gosh this guy's so intense so many times like i love the content they put out i can't keep seeing i'm mr intense guy he's just got he's got like i smoked to pack a sage last night voice perpetually who

okay more annoying alum michael irvin mark cuban irvin irvin yeah mark cuban not on the sidelines but mark Cuban. If he were in the stands and they cut to him, like, let's just interspice like him in the Mavs corner with Irvin. There is a conversation to be had, especially like me and early career Cuban. There's a conversation to be had.

But Irvin's so bad that like Ray Lewis was on the sidelines for the last game. And there were times where like Ray Lewis would be off somewhere else not to be seen by him. And then you'd see Michael Irvin like walking behind the bench and then doing his thing. and like if you are like shaming ray lewis and like i can't fucking hang with michael this whole game like you're probably doing too much didn't michael irvin big time of you dillan michael irvin was emitt smith that's right yeah that's right yeah i hate him like me yeah cuban's at the game i want him in a full suit sitting like he does at shark tank the whole time you're not he doesn't wear a full suit he won't i know he'll be wearing like the $5 t-shirt

you've ever seen but that's what i want my mark cuban that he probably designed and it's the tacky thing because the guy has no taste um sorry doesn't he do the orlovsky too does he does the coat jacket t-shirt sneakers yeah yeah probably he wants famously it's out by southwest wore a rowdy gentleman shirt um as uh helping us out because we helped him with cyber dust or something oh that's right cyber dust it's a true story oh my gosh i forgot about that's true that's a 100% real thing that happened I remember he shot Madison or Rhino, somebody a text or an email, I told you I'd get you back for her. Or I told you I'd help you out. It's like, I don't think we sold a bunch of rowdy gentleman T-shirts because you were rocking on it.

Cyberdust never really took off, did it? Real quick before we pivot, shouts to chat, M.H. Sullivan 100 gave me this tip as of 15 minutes ago. Legacy, Baylor Bear, DJ Lagway is committed. to spending a year in Waco next year. Oh, wow. All right, Dave. Hey, Dave. That's great.

That's good. That's what he asks. That dude's crazy. Dude, so they went to the, their, Aranda took him to, uh, the game last night, the basketball game. And it just like all the, like everything looked like, oh, this guy's not. This guy's going to someone else. You know what?

They let Arnda run point. You're like, oh, no. Yeah. I'm like, dude, you're sitting next to Dave Miranda at a college basketball game. Were they sitting on the floor, Chris Gruss? they weren't even on the floor and it was just like the seats kind of looks spare

it just looks like midway up like on the aisle not in a box okay but hey it got done it's interesting it's I mean look they've still got about

18 other holes to fill we've all been there um hey hold on speaking of chat real quick Randy didn't answer my question in the chat I said I asked a couple minutes ago why were you at Michael's at 7 p.m. last night.

The store. The store, yeah. Because I was getting, I was, I was looking for stuff. Oh. I was looking. You want to know, Brett. I was looking for stationary. Oh.

All right. I was looking for station. Is that your next project? Yeah. You got a project on the horizon. The girlfriend and I go a long distance for a couple of months. The last 65 days. Maybe I'm being a little romantic.

How about that? He got stationary. That's fucking cute, dude. God. He keeps doing cute shit with the girlfriend. God. Should we get it wild hard? The weirdest meg.

Pretty much. That's what we're going to be doing. Times are tough in the pod game. For Christmas, I made us custom wax seals for each of us. Oh, that's cute. Art, art, art. Okay. So there you go, Brett.

Mystery solved. That's what I was at Michaels. It is cute. How do you make a custom wax seal? You don't want to know. You don't want to know. It's just an image. You ever seen the Live in LaVita Loca video?

Ricky Martin? I haven't. My kids sing that shit all the time because it's on like kids' bop one. And so they plug into their little yodo player. And they sing nonstop, living with Vita Loka and fucking whatever the other one is. So bye, bye, bye. On repeat. Banger.

Banger in its own right, Dylan. Teach them early. Bill's Jags. Oh, man. We're at it again. Oh, these two, man. I didn't realize they were going to be so fit. Well, you know, a couple of real headbutt here.

found out KJ, do you know what Trevor Lawrence's playoff record is? Let me think of, I can probably guess two and three. No, son. We thought it was zero and zero. Yeah. But it's one and one. One and one. No, oh, because that wasn't with him. Yeah, he beat what you call it, after throwing five picks, they beat the chargers and then they lost the second round. Yes, against the cheese. The last time

they went to the playoffs, it was Bordal's time. Not Treve dog. So yeah, yeah, yeah, one and one. So, I'll say this, Kaja, I, I'm excited. I'm glad. I think we are both glad that there's no Lamar Jackson, no Patrick Mahomes in the AFC bracket this year. Oh, Kajy gave a shrug there. Oh, I'm not saying, no, no, no, no, I'm not dismissing them.

But as a Jags fan, it is like the very, the concept of looking at the full bracket makes no sense to a Jags fan. And I will maintain this, that Jags fans. have won the minute you have to start talking about the Jags. That's all that I've ever aimed. I've communicated this many times. As a Jacks fan, I don't care. Well, I should say I don't care about the success.

I want the hype almost as much as the success because Cowboys fans around smelling their own dicks 365 days a year because of the hype, because of the circus, because of the talk. Are we smelling her own dicks? I don't know what that mean. You know that it doesn't smell good right now, but it's still. something that's worthwhile for us cowboys fans smelling our own dicks so that's you know what you're no longer you no longer hold the grossest things said on this show this week is now kj our guess that's a new one for your boy i do so it's it's i do feel so as a bill's fan over the

last five years you do tend to look at the the bracket atal because you're like all right what's our path look like um and but we were talking about this yesterday david and i said for the Jags to go on like a generational eight game run where they have the like the highest point differential of the season or something like that and then rewarded with Josh Allen and co coming to town is like oh well that's a bummer but i i again i am not confident i'm nervous i think the bill's run defense is horrendous and and has been horrendous and that's their their fatal flaw and if ATN and co run it down their throats much like old miss is It's like, oh, fuck, Josh can only do so much. Now he is Superman, but if you get like a 21 point hole, again for like the third time this season, how many miracle comebacks to the bills have? And I don't know that answer. I hope they have another one, but I don't know.

I'm excited. I think the bills tend to bring a lot of people to Florida. Like people love to get out of Western New York this time of year. I've got family who relocated from. Buffalo area to Florida sure and so it's uh I think there'll be a lot of blue in that stadium right back I think I like Josh and some what's what's what's put that and run it back it's a it's a interesting family people people people is Josh 100% healthy no not not even close health wise yeah so that's the I think that's the big thing here he's got both these

quarterbacks he's got an x-ray on his foot like the last three weeks after each game whoever scores first wins bills have to get out to a lead those can't play from behind the bills also like don't have a kicker so that's that could be an issue it's a problem we got one of those yeah um i would say i haven't checked the weather it is jacksonville is outside at the bank um first turnover probably is is where you want to look for the indicator of a win because the jags have those days and they have these days where they'll drive the field and they won't do shit in the red zone the bills aren't that team the bills like if they don't go three and out or five and out, they're going to get in the end zone or, you know, go down and try to get points.

Like, they're going to be a threat to score if they get those first two first downs each drive. Or, again, it'll be three and out. So either way, if I was looking ahead, I'm more fearful of going to play Drake May. You know, going to play the Pats is as big of a threat as I would say playing Lamar Jackson. The Broncos not as much, but you can't overlook great coaching and, like, experienced quality teams who have wide receivers like Cortland Sutton on them. Like you've got to respect that. Just now.

SEMU don't. Come on. What, speaking of SMU receivers. We're not talking about other AFC West teams that are not in the playoffs. What about the, who's the other receiver from SMU that's? Manuel Sanders?

No. Was she? Were she right? Legend. It's breaking up over here. Anyways, let's go to the NFC real quick. We don't have to do every day.

I just, I wanted to get somebody. That's the game we're excited for. I kind of had to do. Jags on, not fraud watch, but like, come back a little bit to Earth. You got them on Wagon Watch now. I'm fucking, yeah, I got them on Randy Watch. Let me get you these two questions or these two games really quick if we can include them

for discussion points. Eagles, Niners. If there's a team that's been on Fraud Watch all year, it's been like the Eagles, but they are the three seats still. They did win the division. They're there for a reason. And they're the experienced team. But they're playing at the Niners, who depending on health are the biggest threat or, you

have biggest disappointment in the playoffs. Any strong feelings about that? That's Fritz de freezes, Eagles to you. That's true. He's a ride or die. Quickly becoming the most insufferable household of fandoms. Did anybody read the, KJ, you received the text from Landry. The guy who does investigative journalism and it's about the stadium.

I haven't read the details yet, but the Niners practice facility is, facility is like directly next to a power facility like and there's like some I've not gone back and looked at the studies and sources but there's some stuff saying like being this close to this directly impacts fascia tendons ligaments and the Niners are the most literally the most injured team in football so this guy of course he is making the jump that this is causation potentially that this being next to the Niners practice facility is making them more susceptible to injury. It's interesting again.

I feel like it only, that only works though if they got the jab, so it activates the nano. We already did the Jags game. The nano partigilis. Right. Fair. Yeah.

And then lastly, Dementatize. Bears Packers are also playing this weekend for the third time this year. I know. Exciting stuff. Are we believers in the bears? Yes.

And the Packers are so beat up that it's going to be ugly. Here's the deal. But are we believers in the Bears? Yes. But I have to reserve the right to say, I'm not anti- Bears at all. I love the City of Chicago. I love my time visiting there. I am rooting against the Packers just because I don't really, I don't care for the Packers.

Diggs, Parsons, whatever It would be kind of funny if that busted-ass Packers team beat the Bears just because of the... It would be, it would be. We've got that deal with it so much. They won't.

The Bears are a superior team and they're playing good and I'm happy for Caleb Williams because he's dealt with a lot. And it's in Chicago, correct? Yeah, there's no way. But if that happened, it would be like, ooh, that's yikes.

The Bears are just a different team in the fourth quarter. It's crazy. It's crazy. How many fourth quarter comebacks do they have this year? They almost had two more. They gave to the kids.

I don't know how many, but I just know. Whatever number it is actually. Could have been too much. I'm just saying, the 49ers in Detroit game were also very close. Fact, Randy.

But like, it's just, it's crazy what they're like in the fourth quarter. But bear down. The bears, they kind of have that, like, I'm not going to, they were, weren't they the worst

eight and three team of all time metrics wise at some point this season they were point differential people love looking at that but it's like i don't know they can't the jordan let no no they're they're banged up packers no yeah i think paters go to chicago flick the bean and get out of there with a dub that's not go unnecessary brats you did that when you were there for the meetup i did it tastefully you got did you guys even go to the bean oh yeah we did we did we did just we just we touched we just we just we got shirtless to the bean and then we got different We had shirts all.

What are you talking about? We were on the Navy, the Navy pier. Yeah, right after the Bean, we walked in hip and dots. We did peel tarps after that, yeah. Yeah. It was fucking hot. It had to happen. It was.

I learned the tough lesson that planetarium does not mean you just walk in and see cool shit. Yeah. Unless like you buy a fucking ticket. That was a miss. It was a big miss. Of the four things you can go to the Museum of Science Industry, the Field Museum, Shed Aquarium and Planetarium. don't go planetary yeah it kind of it was kind unless you're going into the fucking dome like i only wanted to see some get some dome action and that was not on the minute we would have

to sit around you don't have to say it like that kaj are the houston tensions for real no oh okay okay no okay they're i think they're a fun team they've they've got streaky they've got really really good skill players and a really sound defense so they will beat the Steelers probably. I can also see them being the team that fucks around and gives Steelers hope

but they'll beat the Steelers probably they will lose to anybody they play in the second round. You're not competitive for these playoffs. Look, I know he's

41 speaking of a jab. You really want to see Aaron Rogers in the playoffs? I don't. I granted, this is coming from a cowboy fan, but I don't.

And I will say my Texans friends, Texans fans friends, they were all like deathly scared of Lamar. And I was like, dude, careful what you

wish for. I know they hasn't looked Green Bay, Aaron Rogers, but got to go play him up there. Still Aaron Rogers. The only thing that I would say, it's true.

The only thing that I would say is going to handicap him besides, you know, everything else you've already mentioned, is that they're the four seed. Oh, well,

shit, do they could tell us this. This is in Pittsburgh. So I take home back. The way that Yosbean has this listed is like they've got them sequentially and it's not correct. So never mind.

I thought he had to play in Houston. And so it's like, no, no, no, that would be. Of like his experience outdoors, I think is a, is a serious advantage in these games. But. Well, I think right now I take him over C.J. Stroud like in one game. Stroud has been kind of like Stroud wasn't good. And then he had a couple good games. Their defense is obviously elite, but, uh, Texans can't do they run the ball well?

They're going to be able to run the ball? They hadn't fucking makes a job up there. That's a me problem. A defense game. It's a Will Anderson game. I mean, they sure. Should. On paper, it's like Aaron Rogers doesn't, he doesn't clear 200 yards passing. On paper. On paper. My paper. I'm excited.

Any other ball? Do you want to talk? No, I'm just, I'm excited. I'm nervous. I'm looking forward to, I hope, our good games against the Miami Hurricanes and the Jacksonville Jaguars at M&T Bank Stadium. I don't know. It could be a great football weekend for me. It could be crushing. gosh there's really i really like i'm such a puss that like i don't i don't want both the teams i'm rooting for to win because i'll feel bad for how brett's going to feel on monday because i know even if both the teams i'm rooting for lose i'll be okay on monday i don't i won't feel good sunday night or monday if i've got to be like damn brett if i go owing to i come in on monday with like i have nine months of no hope it's just it's it's it's going to be brutal

Then you can go back to debating whether or not Wyatt Robinson should be on the Olympic roster or not. Jason Roberts. You should be. Whatever. Jason. Oh, Robo? I'm mixing up my stars here.

Brett, if that happens, I'll be sure to check in on you, which is important. Please don't. This time of year because, you know, it's good to have our good friends that better help on board. It is.

at betterhelp.com slash circling that's better help H-E-L-P-com slash circling Bo-N-E-R-N-A-N-N-A-N-N-N-N-A-N-N-N-A-N-J Jackass. That's a new movie.

It was actually was quite quite good. Dylan doesn't like it when I do music. No, I love it when you do music. He was just trying to spell the chords really quick. Do we need this? I don't mean, oh, do we need Jackass 5 has been announced. June 26 release, 2026.

I'm going to stay firmly yes. I don't know why, but if you've seen TV, you've seen the same commercial the fear factor house of whatever house of fear commercials have been running and one johnny knoxville's the current host of that and every time i see the commercial i think the same thing not since like keenan insert keenan's last name um going from all that sure rebound going from all that to s and l has like a career going in this direction made more sense and i'm like shit i can't wait for more johnny knoxville maybe i'll watch this and i'm not a fear factor guy so to hear jackass coming back too i'm like fuck is this the year of the knox

i might be in when the last one came out um i was trying to tell parks about jackass a little bit and how is you know a big thing when we were younger and i put it on for him and that was a big mistake because the first the first scene is he's got these he's got the weiner uh godzilla just tearing through the little town, you know, like, well, we're not watching this. So if I do watch this next one, I'm sure I will, it will be without parks. It wasn't a party boy tying a Roman, or a, like a fire rocket to his, yeah, bottle rocket to his penis. That's what I'm, much more revealing. That's what I was wondering.

Are they just going to, like, part of this fear factor, just be like, all right, got to do this jackass time? They should. They should. You have to tie this firework to your piece. Okay. Compare and contrast. This is your homework. Randy, this is something else you can do.

Compare and contrast the careers of Dude Perfect with the careers of Jackass. Who has more, who will hang it up first? Because both of their livelihoods, it's something that they'll age out of eventually, right? Like at some point, Dude Perfect can't do trick shots. They need to bring up some young bucks to be doing the trick shots. They need to find money. They're pivoting, though. They are.

You're right. They're doing more content. but the jackass guys like you think at some point they got to stop doing this yeah this has to be the last one they're they're old yeah like knoxville's full gray yeah he's got yeah he's probably 55 yeah it's hard on those guys how old johnny knoxville is i'm gonna guess 52 yeah he's in his 50s for sure right yeah um i think the ironic part about those career trajectories now putting retail sales of like nerf guns and all of that aside because I don't know what the jackass equivalent of that could have been.

If Spencer's would have had like the foresight to be like, could we just brand shopping cards or brand collab with jacks jackass like to sell their shit? Here's some croak. Here's a two ball croquet set along with a, what the fuck you call it? Masami. A cup. Uh, no, the jockstrap and cup. Ah.

To just throw across and, you know, wait. Here's an air pump, like a air pump tied to a, giant boxing glove that'll like pop through a wall here's a here's a taser that's that's exactly straight up taser boxing glove he is so fun he is 54 years old okay phone book of diminutive adults in your neighborhood that you can see if they can jump out of a casket for you um all right where is going with this is the trajectory of both brands if you will ironically kind of meets at the church although one like went directly there.

The other kind of would have to take like the rehab route to land there. So I think both careers have staying power. And somehow it ends in like a 2028 version of the power team. So if we can bring that back under dude perfect slash jackass, like I want to see phone books being ripped. I want to see rebar being curved. All the name of God. And I feel like that's that's like the mesh.

Like there's some self harm risk, but also just wow tricks. Yeah, dude. under the big GOD's house that's where that's where this needs to go okay that's a better answer than I expected pretty good

none of the jackass guys have been in space as far as I know they should send the wild boys to space nobody was wilder than the wild boys that's facts like the IM second campaign with Bay and Margera is gonna it's gonna slap it can bring that brand back single-handed

are they still doing that I that's what I'm saying both can make a comeback is goodbye ban being was he not a part of the last one I don't remember no there's like a rift but that was 2022 I don't know if I think because of his non-involvement in that like it was a decision not to involve him or to cut him from that and that's what created the riff because this was 2022 when the last one came out and I think that's around the time that they had their falling out like he was a problem on set and they just didn't include him going forward and I think that he's started he's been like he's been like he's like doing well getting sober. I know he's like talked about like stevo has helped him with that. So I think maybe there's some mending there. We'll see. I know they brought some new guys up in that last one. Do you remember when Bam just bought like a castle in the middle of like Pennsylvania and that's where he lived? I do not remember. I think it was just like a castle. Yeah. Okay. That has banned him's logo on the front. Yeah. Like the like heart star logo. I don't know. I'm clearly more invested in this than I thought when you when you mentioned it this morning. I was like,

Dude, now I want to go back and watch. I'm saying it. I'm kind of interested. All it took was Dylan talking about the Godzilla penis. And I'm like, yeah, I'm going to go back and watch that. I might watch that this weekend, honestly. I'm not going to, I'm not here going to play figures, but I don't know where I would start if I was a show of my son, uh, jackass. But I think it would have probably been like something with we man and, uh, the big dude.

It probably would be there. You know, I don't know, chasing them through. They did. Yeah. I'm telling you wearing underwear my dad is I've never seen my dad laugh as hard as the uh we man in the bar dude sketch when the little when the little people keep walking in and out as like cops and that's the hardest I think I've never missed my life I'm serious dude we we were dying I was killing everyone was so confused I might stop short of showing I'm like

oh you love hot wheels let me show you what they did with a hot wheel real quick Put it in the late great, just the piece, Ryan Dunn. Oh, my God. Do the bars. Oh, my God. Unbelievable content. Didn't they?

It's just, like every, every dumb thing you thought about with your friends, like, dude, what if you had a mascot and like somebody forded in a tube? They did it.

It's so dumb. Well, you took a shit in that display toilet right there. Yeah. Oh, God. If nothing else, it should make me more understanding when I watch, like, cringe talk stuff. When you watch, like, the creators who just go too far who are involving people in a

Walmart who are not signed up to be involved or they're doing a good job or, like, acting like they didn't know. And I watch them like, gosh, they're kids. Fuck it. It's bullshit. And then I should be forced to watch, like, two jackass clips before ever cementing any opinions on like current TikTok trends yeah yeah you should watch Pontius like party boy on somebody and like that clearly doesn't want that yeah it's like an unknowing Asian man on the street

and there's Pontius like assaulting him like if I show that's my kid there's zero doubt I would get an email within 48 hours from a school that he tried one thousand person because that's who my son is your son see something you'll go try it 100%. We did the, we, we definitely did some shopping cart stuff. We had sushi, uh, sushi day at the school and he decided to snort the wasabi. Snorted the wass. Yeah, dude. Oh, man. Well, I, uh, not to spoil it, but I know what I'm doing this weekend. Which reminds me. Let's talk about our weekend and fun.
