Welcome back to the Circling Back Podcast. Monday morning. My name is David. Joining
me in studio is Dylan Shivery.
Hey, very happy to be here.
Real quick, major shout out to our good friend,
Coach Carlisle, who showed up at the office on Thursday
to watch a little golf with us.
And I don't know the rules on YouTube,
so I'm gonna censor this real quick to show the mug.
Pervert alert.
To show the mug.
Oh my God. Great little mug here. Come on, dude. Thank you coach Carlisle for
that. It's a visual show. I'm not trying to thumbnail chase,
but there's a good chance I make it I believe on that also
brought us to describe what you just did. I tore up the nipples
on this this topless mug. tan line in topless. Right. It is a
it is a mug, a coffee mug.
It's a coffee mug.
That's acquired many throughout the years.
And, um, well, you do have the horniest office materials.
You had the, the mouse pad back in the day.
The Hooters mouse pad with.
Which was just a pair of, uh, rockin' honkers.
The wrist, the wrist thing that you rest on.
What do you call that?
Wrist, rest your thing.
Where it's just two very large. I think itist, rest thing, where just two very large breasts.
I think it's the rest with a W.
Two very large breasts.
Yeah.
Now you're over here sipping out of the,
as you were calling earlier, the ta-ta mug.
The ta-ta mug, yeah.
I'm not approving of that.
He brought many other gifts as well.
He brought us all meat.
He brought me salmon, which I cooked already, some of it.
He brought me a lot. Yes, he brought Some, some of it brought me a lot.
Yes. He brought a gift of a rib eye. We went home, cooked the
rib eye, didn't have any sides. We're out of bake. You know, we
didn't have him. We already had steak that week and made some
tacos, some rib eye tacos and they're delight. Wow. So shout
out to coach Carla. How a money tree plant for young Randy over
here. What'd you think of that plant, Randy?
Hi Dave.
Good.
Randy's back.
We had to let Dan go.
For the third time.
Didn't work out.
For the third time, we had to let Dan go.
No, I appreciate the money tree.
I have a money tree at home.
It's pretty bad shape.
So I'm trying to rehab it, but if not, I got the good one here
that I could just take home, but right now I'm going to keep it in the office.
You know, give us a little good fortune at washed media.
It's good for the air.
Yeah.
It's good for the air in here.
I don't really know, which is getting warmer by the minute.
Oh yeah.
It's a great point.
It does not.
And sadly the money tree doesn't have free on it.
It can't cool the air.
We're not going to dwell on it too much.
No, that would be the only time you hear us complain about that.
AC issues once we're not ones to complain about AC issues in an office.
That's that time of year again.
Hey guys, classic circling back podcast, right?
Go back on Dave's couch.
Classic wash media problems.
Oh yeah, we could do my place if we needed to.
Not today.
Alyssa's working from home.
I wouldn't want to show up with the boys.
I do have a recording.
Yeah, that's true.
We'd stop.
No, it's not that hot yet, but it's on its way.
Yeah, the the name you just heard, it's producer Randall Trimbacchi.
He's he's he's been rehired.
Actually, you were never formally let go.
No, no, I was just on a PTO.
Yeah.
More on that later.
Do you have any, do you have any questions?
Welcome back Randy.
Hey, we're going to talk sphere and shit.
Later, I guess more about Daniel and did he like, did he poop in my chair
or something like that?
It's kind of smelly.
I don't think we would know if I would get in your chair in your chair.
Um, what did you think as a, as a guy watching like that. It's kind of smells over here. I don't think we would know if you pooped in your chair. I would have pooped in your chair.
As an adult.
What did you think as a guy watching?
You were kind of watching from that random chair
in the hotel room.
I was, I was cuck chairing it.
I wasn't going to say that,
but that's kind of what you were doing.
You know, he's got good cameras.
If we were to replace this camera, we can get up to 4K.
Say that much right now.
What are we at now? Like 2K?
Or yeah, standard, high def, which is like 2K.
What if I meet you in the middle?
What if I get you at three?
What's it going to take to meet you in the middle?
What do I got to do to get you in this three today?
Write a number here on this piece of paper.
I don't even know if they can do is 3K.
They create stuff in 3K.
Figure it out.
Okay.
I'm going to leave this room until you tell me
what it's gonna take to get your business.
Find a way.
That was quite the video production.
Not to throw shade.
We bought you these cameras,
only so much you can do with them.
I understand that.
Dan has his own equipment.
It's just crazy.
I'll say that I like his cameras and all that stuff.
I'm not the biggest fan of the purple underglow.
That's it.
His tubing.
It looks good.
His Jeffrey tubing?
Yeah.
Softcore history, but I didn't like it in our studio.
My tubes.
Damn.
Dance tubing.
Wow, dude.
Wow.
But it was a, it was a crisp and clear.
Yeah.
I liked, um, I liked I wish I had.
I should have known, but I would have dressed differently. I would have dressed better. I would have looked so good.
I would have put some studio makeup on a little bit.
We should get an artist in here to do that for us.
That high def. It shows it shows all the.
Little wrinkles and the crevices, you know, they show how sunkissed you are.
It did show how sunkissed I am, which I'm losing a little bit.
It's been having out in the sun lately.
That's okay.
Um, yeah, I would have just worn Joker makeup again.
I'm thinking about how my Joker makeup would look.
I'm the Joker baby.
Oh, it's about time to rewatch that video.
Uh, what do people reach out to you?
Like, Hey man, just thinking of you.
All right. You're just getting, let's see what the YouTube comments are saying.
Did you feel like extra replaceable?
I'll be, I'll be honest, Randy.
There was not a single negative comment about what Dan did.
It oftentimes, I mean, sometimes Daniel come on.
People were like, eh, not this time.
We did miss you though, bud.
Hey.
Hopefully you had fun.
For sure, man.
You know, I did have fun.
More on that later.
Good, bud.
Good.
You quit, you're over-budding him.
I'm sorry.
I call Parks bud or buddy and it just, it's not just carries over.
He's younger than me.
You know how it goes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
By a decade.
Yeah, by a decade at goes. I know. Yeah. By a decade.
Yeah, by a decade at least.

It's Tuesday where the variety gets mixed in.
Tomorrow, we are scheduled to do a touching.
Circling circling back on touching base.
Yes, circling back on touching base.
That's a good that's a good jump off point.
That's a good history lesson.
If you're if you're new around here or if you just
I mean, look, most people, 99.9% of listeners don't go back and listen to old audio.
There's some people who do have that audio.
Maybe they go do a listen every now and then.
We take some of the more seminal moments
from our old podcast, Touching Base,

It's a lot of fun.

We have a good time.
We also drop a newsletter.
I dropped a pod, a playlist on there, getting a lot of hype.
It's on Substack, wash.substack.com. And this show,
as mentioned previously, Dylan revealed his, what were you calling them? His hog?
Tatama.
Bazunga mugs?
Bazungas.
I don't know what you're saying.
I'm gonna have that one for a minute.
That thing's a little sunkissed too.
It's very real.
Borderline burn.
The problem is that like the level of detail on these things.
The areola.
There's bumps on the nips.
The areola, yeah, which I covered up has little, the little bumps that you might find
on the areola.
Yeah.
I mean, I, we all got them, right?
The little bumpies.
Yeah.
It's part of being human.
Yeah.
Mammals.
Just weird how he's been drinking out of it too.
I'm trying to get it through the nipple, but there's not a way to get it out of the nipple.
You gotta get, unfortunately, you gotta go to the top.
Like a real mug?
Yeah, like a real mug.
Yeah, that checks out.

Who would like to start?
Let's start with Dylan.
Oh, I'd love to start David. Thank you. I had a pretty wonderful weekend actually. Started
Friday, Chelsea Parks and I got, we played our Zaw cards for the week. We went to Pine
House Pizza. I got my order. They're just absolutely dialed in.
Which Pine House?
South of Mar.
Okay. Get it while you can.
You don't want to know my order?
Can I guess? You won't guess.
Aren't you a pig smiley guy?
Not pig smiley.
What's the one with the honey and arugula?
No, I don't do that shit.
Okay.
I do the pepperoni and basil, but I add sausage,
banana peppers, and what's the cheese?
It's your fucking order, dude.
Ricotta?
Ricotta.
There you go.
Actually, not a recent one. They invented it actually at Pine House. What's the cheese? It's your fucking order, dude. Ricotta? Ricotta. There you go.
Actually, not a recent one in the 20 years.
They invented it actually at Pine House.
Actually, it's been around since the dawn of time pretty much.
Saturday, Parks had a birthday party and he hung out with his buddies until late.
So, Chelsea and I, we got some errands done and we watched a show, a documentary about the
Karen re trial. We watched all five episodes in one day. We
couldn't we couldn't we couldn't stop. More on that
later. We could not stop watching it. And I'm really
excited to talk about it later. There will be spoilers in that
segment just to let you know. Yeah, Saturday. I mean, sorry,
Sunday. Obviously, it was Father's Day Day and Chelsea and Parks absolutely spoiled me.
Woke me up with a mug they had made
for me, a little Father's Day mug.
Is that the mug you got there?
It's not this mug.
This is from Coach Carlisle.
Yeah, the mug.
Can you imagine?
The mug they got me is much different
and much cooler, no offense, Coach.
Tell us about the mug.
It said, it says best dad ever
and then it has pictures of me and Parks all over it. Wow, Dave, hear that? You're not the best dad ever. And then it has pictures of me and parks all over it.
Wow. Dave, hear that.
You're not, you're not the best dad ever.
According to the party, extremely low flyover.
According to parks, you're at least number two.
Because I'm number one.
Speaking of number two, who did a brunch with the fam went
into the went to a BGB, which has wonderful food, by the way,
which I tried down the road here.
Yeah, we never go sneaky. A the way. Which I didn't realize. Right down the road here. Yeah. We never go.
It's sneaky, a cool place and the food is excellent.
Just saying.
They've got good looking pizza.
We got good beers.
Did you double down on pizza?
Didn't do pizza.
I, I stick to the Zoc, even though Sunday it reset, I didn't play it.
I got wings that were really good.
And then, uh, did some presents.
I got some great gifts.
I got a bike helmet, by the way.
Parks got me a bike.
Oh, thank God.
Yeah.
I tried it on, looked in the mirror and didn't feel great about how I looked, but
I will be wearing it when I ride the bike and it fit your head.
Believe it or not.
It fit my head barely.
It barely fit my head.
Then we made a homemade sushi, homemade sushi.
And there's a Japanese market in South
Austin that sells sushi grade fish.
And we got like the proper rice and she
got all the, all the stuff that goes with it.
Were you doing rolls?
We did nigiri.
Okay.
We didn't, we didn't do the, we didn't
do the bamboo rolling thing.
That's, that's, that's next.
Seems like a beating.
It was, it was fun. I mean, it took a while. Seems like a beating. It was fun.
It took a while.
But like people who make their own rolls
with like the seaweed and all,
it just seems like a lot.
Yeah.
No seaweed.
The photo you posted looked very, very appetizing.
It was truly excellent.
Did you go with wasabi?
I went with wasabi.
Yep.
It was really, really good.
Parks loves sushi maybe more than I do.
So he loved it and had a great time. Okay.
You snorted it like Steve-O?
I didn't, I didn't sort of saw me, Randy. I just ate the sushi, man.
I mixed it with my soy sauce. That's how I do it.
And then we, uh, he's always saying on Thursdays, he's like after the show,
he's like, I'm trying to get what sucky this weekend.
That is what I put the fuck is that.
days. He's like, after the show, he's like, I'm trying to get was sucky this weekend. That's what I say. What the fuck does that mean?
We shut it down by watching the documentary on Ocean Gate, the submarine that imploded
on its way to the Titanic. Seen a lot of critical tweets about the guy.
We didn't finish it yet. This guy is 100% to blame. The CEO, his name is Stockton Rush, maybe?
That's such a villain name. I know Stockton rush. He, um,
he is solely to blame for everything.
Do you think he kind of knew going in that this had a good
chance of failing? Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.
Seems like a real bad way to go. I want to talk about it,
but I'm already talking about one documentary today. So I
don't want to, plus I, plus I haven't finished it yet
because Chelsea fell asleep as she always does.
So we gotta finish it tonight.
Ooh, docking with Dylan.
Dude, it's, this guy's an idiot.
An idiot.
Yeah, it's, I mean, that seems to be the consensus
on the twit.
So the hole is made out of carbon fiber, which is like, he's like the first one
to do it out of carbon fiber instead of like titanium.
Probably a reason for that.
Yeah.
He says, as, as you're, um, submerging, you can hear the fibers in the carbon
fiber cracking just, oh, it's normal.
Don't worry about it.
Nah, nah, playboy.
This probably means you got to go back up to the surface.
Didn't it? Okay. But like, didn't it just instantaneously just flatten like
that? Yeah. Like a cartoon, but like there's stress, it's certain, you know,
there's stress on it, right? And you can, you can like feel the stress inside.
They said you can hear it. You can actually hear like the popping and then,
because he's gone down before
and come back up and it's like, yeah, that's, that's pretty normal.
And they had to, they found a crack in it and had to replace the entire hole.
So this is just so stupid. You're saying whole, right?
Whole. Okay. Whole H U L L. How big was this fucking thing?
About the size of a sedan.
You know it smell crazy in there.
Maybe a little bigger than that van. Maybe van size.
Yeah, you know, it's not crazy in there.
Anyway, fucking buffoon. This dude.
Video game controller guy actually, but a buffoon.
Reckless. Reckless.
Mm. Trusted his own instincts over over the science.
And now he's dead. Way to go, Randy. Along with four of them. Reckless. Trusted his own instincts over, over the science.
And now he's dead.
Way to go, Randy.
Along with four of their crack.
I didn't build it.
No, you have a way about you.
What an idiot.
That sounds like a delightful weekend.
There was this guy. Okay.
One more thing.
Keep going.
Keep going.
There was about a few months before the voyage that went really poorly, this guy from some, I forgot which
program he was with, but he went to take a ride on it to film like a puff piece.
Seen this like 60 minutes or something like that.
Yeah, he did like a puff piece on this voyage like in this submarine. And when he was down in it,
they went just like a few feet underwater.
While they're down there.
Everything went wrong like nothing was working inside the things that had to go immediately go back up and he he got on the horn with this producer or whoever funded the project and you're like look.
This will be a pop piece and I don't feel comfortable airing this cuz people I don't want to be responsible for anyone signing up for this. So they didn't air it. That's how bad it was.
Yeah. Little did he know from puff piece to poof piece.
That's good, dude. That's good.
It disappeared.
It's good. Basically.
And that's my weekend. It was excellent. It was a great father's day. It was honestly
just a great father's day.
Man, I do think back to that time when they had like the countdown clock on all the news
stations.
About how much oxygen was left.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was like the biggest news story.
They're like, well, the time has expired.
We still don't know where they are.
And they were just on the bottom of the ocean somewhere in a billion pieces.
Randy, you're a jolly lad.
How was your weekend?
My weekend was just fine.
I pretty much, since I was at the sphere more on that later,
took it pretty easy this weekend,
but continuing to move into my new place.
So I had a goal to no more boxes.
And I accomplished that goal, David.
And I did hurt my knee again.
So that's not great.
Again?
This was, I was just on my back underneath my computer desk
just like trying to organize the wires and everything,
which if I was wireless, David, you know,
I wouldn't have to deal with that.
And I think I might have just rolled on it weird.
And it's not as bad as the previous time I injured it,
but I was limping around pretty much all Sunday and today.
When do you find out about like the, you get the MRI coming up?
MRI is Friday. So, and then I guess the follow-up will be the next week. So.
You have to pop a damn pill to get in that MRI machine, get a little nervous, maybe pop a PIRT.
I mean, I've had two MRIs on this before, since I've already, you know, had two surgeries and they
don't like fully put you in.
They just put you like feet first.
So it's like only up to like your waist.
So I won't be like fully in it.
They should just put your whole body in
just in case like they notice anything else.
Yeah.
And they just, you know, while I'm here,
while we're doing it,
can I just get a little brain scan?
You know?
Exactly.
That's the problem with healthcare.
You know, but, so we'll see.
I mean, yeah, that was pretty much just my whole weekend was just
unpacking, got my new table and set a bunch of stuff up. So it's coming along. I get, you know,
it'll be by end of July, I'll be firing. That's not close at all.
End of July? Jesus. Maybe end of June. You moved across the parking lot.
end of July. Jesus. Oh, maybe at the June. Oh, no. He moved across the parking lot.
I need you firing before then. How about end of June? Let's, let's move that timeline. Fine. End of June. All right. Lofty, but doable.
You all, you guys are like, what did Dave do? Well, Dave, well, Dave, I was up in Duncanville.
I went up there. No, when did I go up up? I went up Friday morning. I brought my son with
me, Rhodes. We went up, dropped him off at his aunt, my sister's place out in Dallas. Shout out,
East Dallas. And he stayed out there with the cousins, did a bunch of stuff out that way.
And he stayed out there with the cousins did a bunch of stuff out that way
had a blast he stayed with them I
Stay with my parents in Duncanville I Saturday morning I had a memorial service to attend
Which was which was lovely very very classy tastefully done
Friday night I was supposed to meet a buddy and I did eventually meet him, but our plans got changed up.
He had to do something with his wife and I, I got all dressed up and
didn't have anywhere to go.
And I said, well, what am I going to do?
I bought this nice shirt on.
I got this nice pair of a Abercrombie and Fitch jeans on this. And I said, you know what? It's not keeping me down. I got this nice pair of Abercrombie and Fitch jeans on. And I said, you know what?
It's not keeping me down. I called an Uber. I Ubered out to Bob's Steak and Chop House.
Wow. I put out a thing on Twitter like, hey, where would y'all go? Where would y'all go belly up?
What's like a new, I was wanting people to hit me with like a new, I know the hot spots in Dallas,
but I was like, give me something new.
Where would you go solo dinner?
Not to name drop, shout out Shane Bacon,
who immediately, like immediately DM me.
Was like, bro, you gotta go Bob's steak and chop house.
And I go, dude, Shane, thank you for the message.
I was already leaning, leaning Bob's.
So I just went Bob's and belly it up to the bar.
It wasn't very crowded.
That's like the best time to,
obviously for a number of reasons,
that's the best time to go solo.
But if you go solo, you can build a rapport
with the bartenders and they'll hook you up.
They'll give you, they'll be like,
hey, look, we're not busy right now.
You want to try some different wines
and notice you're looking at the wine list. Try this one. So the next thing you know they'll be like, Hey, look, we're not busy right now. You want to try some different wines and notice you're looking at the wine list.
Try this one.
So the next thing you know, I'm like, I'm just drinking wine, ordered a fillet,
a baked potato, which yeah, I'm still in on a lot of people thought I was back
out.
Nope.
I'm back in.
Hold on.
Was there a salad in any certain shape?
I got a Caesar salad, Randy.
What the hell? What? The old you would have gotten a Caesar salad, Randy. What the hell?
When I got a Caesar salad.
The old you would have gotten a wedge salad.
You're right.
You've changed, dude.
The wedge salad is the bottle service of salads.
And I just was trying to keep a low profile in case any listeners were there.
I didn't, I just didn't want people to approach me.
It's just a different kind of salad.
But it's the way it's presented.
It's oftentimes a little showy.
A little, they don't do it. Tableside. Sometimes they do.
Tableside wedge.
But I want Caesar. It's a classic. And I did notice I had something weird. The guy brought
it to me. He asked if I wanted pepper. I'm like, of course, of course I want pepper.
Did a couple of craps and like cracks and then kind of started to walk off. I was like, Hey buddy. He's like, were you done? Is that, was that enough? And I was like, of course, of course I want pepper. Did a couple of crafts and like cracks and then kind of started to walk off. I was like, and he's like, he's like, were you done?
Is that, was that enough? And I was like, it was, but like, I'm typically accustomed to like stopping
you. That's what I'm used to. Most places it's just like keep on cracking till daddy's finished.
You know what I mean? Let me clip that. With the pepper. With the hand motions. You gotta have pepper on there.
Caesar.
It was delightful.
Got out of there and went and had a bottle of wine with my buddy.
I was back home at 11, went to bed.
Memorial service that morning.
Um, my sister brings my son to my parents place.
A little pool day.
It was a nice pool day.
Big, big update from the world of four-year-olds.
Oh, Rhodes is now just swimming.
Oh, yes.
So he's been wearing the floaty
that you put your arms through.
Like people call it the puddle jumper for whatever reason.
He had like a Forrest Gump moment
where his braces fell off
and he just kept running.
Dude, he just said, I want to take it off.
And I was like, okay, that's fine.
I'm in the pool.
He's just jumping off the side and swimming to me,
real basic, but like totally competent,
jumping off the diving board, swimming to the noodle,
just a whole new element unlocked. It was crazy. I was
very happy for him. Big moment. Yeah. Very, very prideful, but also terrifying because it's like,
it's like when your first kid starts walking, you're like, oh wow, this is going to be,
have to chase them around. Now it's like you're in the pool. They've got a little bit of irrational
confidence. You got to really watch them. But that was a lot of fun. Got a couple of stripes. It was good times.
Sunday came back Father's Day. Got in Sammy boy was taking a nap.
Opened my card, a nice card, tasteful dinosaur. Very cool card. Uh, we did jets. We did jets for father's
day. She's like, what do you want? I was like, I don't want to go to dinner. All I want to do is
watch golf. All I want to do. And I did. And then we picked up jets and it was delightful.
And it was just one of the more fun afternoons watching golf. And it was, it was delightful.
And then more on this later, I watched a documentary last night and I'll piggyback
off Dylan's Karen Reed conversation.
Oh, everyone's docking, huh?
The whole squad is docking, Randy.
Couldn't stop docking this weekend.
You know, I wouldn't have been a good transition into the next thing I want to do here.
Let me just stop.

all participated in therapy. We know there's a stigma there, but we've all benefited from it.

Dude, yes. Do you feel that?
Uh, yeah, a little bit. It definitely feels less stuffy.
It's good. Got it got cooler suddenly. And that's a major
development here at wash media.
But all these guys do is bitch about the AC, man. It's good. Got it got cooler suddenly. And that's a major development here at wash media. But all these guys do is bitch about the AC man.
It's all they did by him.
Who's that?
I don't know.
Is that one of our listeners?
It's a new character.
It's mad about the boys bitching about AC guy, which look, I'll be honest.
Last summer sucked.
Bucket song.
The tough summer.
It's probably a no egg here is bitch about it.
It's not our, we're kind of in a battle on who's responsible for it.
We'll more on that later.
Yeah.
Uh, Randy.
Yes.
You went to the sphere.
I did.
You took some time off vacation.
Randy struck again and went to the sphere.
I did a little Wednesday and Thursday.
I got this shirt.
Can you tell me at the sphere 2025 comfort colors, a lot of comfort colors on the Kenny Chesney at the Sphere 2025. Comfort colors. A lot of comfort
colors on the Kenny Chesney store. Interesting. First thoughts? The Sphere is cool. Yeah. The
visuals and everything are very, I would like to go back. Maybe not. I don't know. I'm not the
biggest Vegas guy. He'd go back. There it is. Vegas baby is your bit. You're not a big Vegas guy.
I'm not a big Vegas guy. Okay.
At all.
Did you do any drugs?
I did a little marijuana.
What?
I did.
I did go to a dispensary.
Did you bring some back?
Just go for it.
Are you trying, are you some sort of narc?
Are you narcing?
I noticed you were walking funny when you came into that.
I thought maybe you still had some up there.
That's because I rolled on my knee doing no labor at all and I'm injured and I'm just.
Well, so you're not a big Vegas guy.
I'm not a big Vegas guy.
I'm not a big Vegas guy.
I'm not a big Vegas guy.
I'm not a big Vegas guy.
I'm not a big Vegas guy.
I'm not a big Vegas guy. I'm not a big Vegas guy. I'm not a big I rolled on my knee doing no labor at all and I'm injured and I'm just-
Well said.
I hate this knee situation, it's really annoying.
I hate it for you.
No, so the Sphere, I would like to go see the Sphere on their like,
the movie that they made for it. The seats vibrate, I didn't know if you knew that.
I did not know that.
They vibrated like at the beginning.
Will's been very silent on that.
Yeah.
I feel like it only like vibrated every show. It wasn't like a main thing. It was only like
certain notes that like they would hit that it would vibrate. So maybe like Dead and Co.
doesn't even use that feature.
Sounds like a 40X movie watching experience. Like I took parks to see Sonic and it almost
threw me out of my chair.
Did they hit the notes where when it hits that note,
it's low enough to where everybody craps their pants?
Brown note, no.
But what I'm saying is like on non-show days at the Sphere,
they have like some type of a movie
or some type of like, I don't know, experience there
that I would like to go see that.
See something, the thing that's just specifically made to be at the sphere all the time.
Cause probably just sick visuals.
But overall Kenny Chesney, a lot different voice speaking than his singing voice.
That was, I did not know that about him.
He'd never heard him talk.
I never heard him talk.
I only really heard him sing.
So that was, that was interesting, but it was a good show.
Do your best impression of him talk. I only really heard him sing. So that was interesting, but it was a good show. Do your best impression of him speaking.
Honestly, he sounds kind of like me.
Not totally, but it is a lot more like a higher pitch
than his, I go back.
It's like, whoa, this is not,
expect him to sound like this.
Kenny Chesney.
They didn't do my track, they're sexy though.
Really? What? Yeah. So disappointed. There was some songs. They didn't do my track, they're sexy though. Really?
What?
Yeah.
So disappointed.
There was some songs that he didn't do that I would like to have heard.
Will and I peeped the set list before.
Did do keg in the closet only like the first verse and chorus though.
Was it a medley of hits?
Not really.
It was pretty much four songs.
I really don't like when artists, I get you got like a ton of songs if you're an artist
like that, but like I don don't want to hear Medley.
Yeah. I want to hear the whole thing.
Visuals were cool, especially the opening scene.
Like you start underwater
and you're just going through all the shipwrecks
and then like you come up and then there's like a ships
on the ocean and goes to like this little like party island
that has the sphere.
It was pretty, pretty cool visuals.
I'll say I'm sure dead and co has like amazing ones, but these were good.
You'd never been a party Island motherfucker.
Yeah.
Bitch.
You've never been born on party.
Never been.
This guy has never partied.
I was born unbelievable.
Uh, was there a pizza visual?
A pizza?
No, there wasn't.
I was thinking that there was going to be a little for keg in the closet.
There was going to be a little bit more like collegiate. Does he, does he, does he the kind
of guy who like intro the song, man, this next one is about my freaking college time, bro. I
fucking love college. Oh, some of the songs he did. Yeah. That's he was like this. I wrote this song.
This is the title song of this album. And like, and there was a lot of we're going on a journey
and we want you to be there. And like, with love, let's are you guys ready? And it's like, and there was a lot of, we're going on a journey and we want you to be there.
And like with love, let's, are you guys ready?
It's like, ah, that's classic.
Just, you know, musicians doing all this stuff.
Were you ready?
I was ready.
And I'll say for a Wednesday, that place was packed.
It was pretty much, I would say almost sold out.
Like, I don't think I saw any empty seats Wednesday and it was loud and people,
people were getting crazy. And I will say
Jason and I were probably in the like 1% like youngest people in there. Really?
Everyone else was pretty much in their 50s.
I feel like Kenny's like 35 and up, 35 to 55.
I guess that checks out.
It felt way more like 55 to 65 for sure.
Was he wearing a sleeveless shirt?
Oh yeah.
Hell yeah.
Oh yeah.
Got to man.
He has like, he doesn't have big arms.
He just has like toned arms.
He has very toned arms.
And he kind of looks like Dave.
He's small left.
Yeah, he's tiny.
Tiny boy.
I'd fuck his shit up.
Tiny boy season.
He ever stepped to me, I'd fuck him up.
I don't know if you would, David.
They would, they would fuck his shit up.
I would beat the fuck out of him.
I would never do that because I respect him and there are some songs of his I like.
And it's a love thing.
But if I ever had to defend myself, I'm absolutely wiping him.
Dude, you know, Dave's got twitchy hands.
You know, there's a different world, different time.
It's true that if he was born and raised in Philadelphia.
Yeah. If he grew up neighbors with, next door neighbors with Dan, he'd be,
he'd be golden gloves. I would be the biggest piece of shit if I was born in Delco.
That's so funny. I'd straight up body bag Kenny if I needed to never would though.
Still love the guy. Yeah. But Vegas overall, you know, Vegas, baby, it's just so expensive.
Like every breakfast we had was like $50.
And I was like, this is you go buffet.
Do you go wait in line for a buffet?
I know.
Got, but I got some good food, but it's,
Vegas is crazy.
It's I used to, I used to be obsessed with Vegas.
Now it's just, if I go once every few years, that's totally okay with me.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's just.
I haven't thought about it.
I haven't like had the desire now.
I would like to go to the sphere, but outside of that, like, I just I don't know.
I love I love to gamble.
Like, I love I love to play blackjack poker craps.
But if I'm not at least breaking even, I don't gamble. Like I love, I love to play blackjack poker craps, but if I'm not at least
breaking even, I don't have any fun at all.
And the last few times I played, I've just gotten wiped out.
I do have a desire to go back to Paiute and play just because it was the most
unique day of golf I've ever had.
More on Paiute later.
Exactly.
I will never, yeah, that was climate, just location.
It was just, just felt like we were in dropped in the
middle of the desert.
It was great.
It was a great day.
So overall with the sphere, I do recommend if you
have like a, someone you want to go see, you go see it.
It's a, it's a cool experience.
The, the screen's crazy and like even the outdoor
area of like non the actual amphitheater was pretty
like the architecture and the outdoor like bars and
stuff were nice.
Like you don't really think about that when you think of Sphere. So it's new. It's nice.
Go to the Sphere, Vegas, 36 hours. That's all you need. Cosmo bartender wasn't there. I did go check.
I did hit black three times on a hundred dollar bets. So that was nice.
You want 300 bucks. Did you lose any?
I, yeah, I got down to 265.
Oh, there you go.
So I walked away with 265.
Was it paid for your breakfast?
Yeah.
Pretty much paid for the Kenny Ticknit.
Did it pay for the companion?
For Jason?
No.
Oh, for the prostitute you're saying that I got.
I wouldn't, because- What was her name?
Disrespectful to call her that.
Desiree. Desire that. Desiree.
Desiree.
Desiree.
Good for you, man.
No, I did not get a prostitute.
Why'd you say like Christopher Walken was saying?
Desiree.
The Flamingo recently redid their pool
and that was really confusing for a while being high there
because I had been there three years prior
doing a pool party and I was like,
this is not the same pool that was here.
And then I asked the bartender,
they said that just remodeled everything.
Did you talk to any babes?
You know, all of the babes.
Nice.
Very cool.
Fat Tuesday's great.
Hell yeah.
Randy plays the hits when he goes to Vegas.
We get, we landed.
Fountains, you go see the fountains too, huh?
Did, we walked a lot, like way too much.
And I did a sandbox VR.
Actually go check my Instagram right now.
I posted everything.
Now we're good, man.
Now you can go check it.
But they have a sandbox VR up in the domain
and it's pretty fun.
We might want to, we might want to go do it sometime.
You know what I'm talking about?
I believe it's something that Rogan has hyped up.
It's so you pretty much, you have like a haptic feedback vest,
gone and like they're on your wrists and ankles
and you wear like a VR thing and it's just like a room
and you pretty much can shoot zombies.
Shoot each other, all that stuff.
It was pretty fun.
I've been wanting to do it for a while
and Jason and I had time to kill before
because our flight got pushed back.
Did you walk in?
Three hours.
Or did you have to make an appointment?
You usually wanna make an appointment,
but this was like on the middle of the day on a Thursday,
so in like the mall area, so we could just walk in.
I was on a game show once with my son,
and it was a VR thing, and I was supposed to go to a grocery
shop, and I totally flipped out.
Like I panicked and I couldn't move.
Did you not know how the body worked? No. Did you not know how to, the body worked? You know,
it didn't know. I think that might be my favorite. I think it's under the faces he makes.
So he's got screaming. Will you pull up a, speaking of Instagram,
we pull up the circling back or if you just have the raw video, yes, but I'll let Dylan set the stage.
The pot.
All right.
So we were in Vegas for my bachelor party.
This is by you, by the way, what is this?
2022 2022.
Yeah.
About three years ago and we had a, uh, 12 people there.
So we had three, four man scramble teams and Dave was on my team.
Yeah.
They were on my team.
Me, you and KJ.
One other person.
Right.
No, KJ had to go.
No, we had, we had, we had four.
I forgot who else was on our team.
Didn't really matter all that much.
Um, we were dead.
We, we had to make up a stroke.
We were tight.
We were one back of the first place team going into the 18th.
And we had to make this long birdie putt to tie it.
And I was the first of, I'm usually the first one to putt in a
Scrammer group because I'm not a very good putter.
So I try to give a read for everybody.
Wide stance, this guy.
I don't do that anymore.
No, but you used to, I used to have a wide putting stance.
That's true.
And so I step up to this, I don't know, 70, 80 footer right here. No, it's about, I don't do that anymore. No, but he used to. I used to have a wide putting stance. That's true.
And so I step up to this, I don't know, 70, 80 footer right here.
No, it's about, it's about a 35, 40 feet.
It's a long putt.
It's a long putt.
It's JJ spawn distance.
And it was a slight breaker right to left and I get up and I just drain it but brett's filming this alright
He's showing it from behind me and he cuts away
right before the ball goes in because he wanted to get my reaction to making it which I gave a pretty dope little fist pump and
Then he shows some celebrating and then I walk up to the pen and heat the camera doesn't go back to the cup
Until right after I pull the ball out so at no point in this video, do you see the ball actually make like going
in the cup or me pulling out of the cup?
So there's no proof that was actually in the cup.
So there's this theory that this whole thing's an elaborate setup.
And I didn't actually make the putt.
And I championed this theory.
I think I'm pretty sure like I was in the group text, like the
day as it was happening, right.
I have to have it.
I'm like, I don't know, it did look like it went in.
Can you play it?
Yeah, you're in the wrong house.
Hold on, the other part of this is that
the two groups ahead, we were the last group to go.
So the two groups ahead of us were on the green with us
while this was going on.
So I would have to convince 11 other people,
including eight that weren't on my team
to get behind this fraud of a video.
So it would take a lot you be the judge I
play I'll play it
Dave is the Dave is a real star of this video by the way
That's it In no point you can see it tracking though. Can you not?
Someone just screenshot this one time and I never saw just the still
Such a funny what I did Dave. So we're on the green. I'm like, I start, I'm wearing golf
shoes. I start hitting, like, I'm like, I'm going to gritty.
And then I realized, dude, that's going to fuck up this
green. If I actually tried a gritty. And then I, so I just
like soft stepped. I don't know what I did.
Look at, and founders, look at a flounder.
Just moving.
Flauner's tip tip toeing across the, across the green. Oh,
Flounder was the other one on our team.
That's right.
Yeah. What a team by the way, me, Dave was the other one on our team. That's right. Yeah.
What a team, by the way, me, Dave Flannery and KJ.
And then we went to the playoff hole and we won in the playoff.
Yeah, so that was a very crucial, very crucial make. That was fun.
I don't remember what we won for that.
I think we think we won a little bit of a little bit.
Get that freaking backdrop. So great.
Yeah, that was a fun day.
Yeah, I can confirm. Yes, Dylan was using a yellow golf ball.
It was a yellow golf ball and it went in the, it went in the hole.
Did it though. It went in the, it hit square in the middle of the pen.
Like it couldn't have been a more perfect putt.
It's so funny.
Even when that got posted the other day on circling back, by the way, go follow
that on Instagram
Like the top comments were like
Yeah, people won't let it go
There's no proof And so I guess the the legend lives on I mean the blame is solely on Brett for that. Yeah
Yeah, you got it. He had to get the celly. I
Get I get that if it were me if it was me video me, Video Guy Randy, Video Guy Randy Savage over here,
I probably would have done a different angle so that you could see. So I could get you
and the putt at the same time. Maybe on the other side of the pin.
He was also live. This is not like you took this from his phone and it was not, it didn't
make a camera roll. This was a live, this is a recording, a screen recording of a live
video.
Oh, I forgot about that.
So I only had time to release. Plus it worked out better that he wasn't expecting me to make the putt because I make this about 1% of the time.
Hey, congrats if you did make it.
Thank you.
I'll remind you if this is fake news and you guys are just. You're faking it. A little viral farming, little cloud farming.
No, no, it's legit, I promise you.
It's legit.
As is Squarespace.
He's gonna say almost as legit as Squarespace.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.

Now let's talk Karen Reed.
Let me just say,
this is something that should be up my alley.
When I first, I felt like it was very regional. When I first started
seeing people like tweet about it, I felt like it was so far
down the road in the trial that I was like, man, I'm not going
to fully appreciate it. So I've kind of avoided it, but I have a
topical knowledge of what happened. Yeah, break it down. I
am a person that has no idea what this is. I could assume
this is maybe Patrick Reed's sister.
I have no idea.
Okay, it's not Patrick Reed's sister, sadly.
People that don't know anything about it.
This is from the Boston area.
Canton, Massachusetts, I believe,
is where these people live.
Karen Reed is currently on trial for second degree murder
as well as vehicular manslaughter
and leaving the scene of a crime. Those are the three charges she's facing.
Um, yeah. So like I said, Chelsea and I started watching this on Saturday and it was,
it was so good that we just couldn't stop.
And we just went all the way through and watched all of them.
And here's the story.
So Karen Reed and her boyfriend, John O'Keefe, who is a police officer And here's the story.
So Karen Reed and her boyfriend, John O'Keefe, who is a police officer, went out drinking with some of their other police officer buddies and their wives.
Okay.
Okay.
They're out of bar and they go to another bar.
They're all, they've been hammering drinks.
They're all drunk.
I'm imagining an Irish pub.
Cops, Massachusetts, it gives, it gives small town like hotspot bar.
Okay.
Yeah.
Again, we're in Canton, not Boston.
And one of the wives is like, Hey, and this is it like one in the morning.
No, sorry.
It's about midnight.
And they're like, Hey, let's go back.
Let's go keep drinking.
So they want to go back to the house.
So they invite them back to the house.
Jen and I'm sorry, not Jen, um, Karen and her boyfriend, John are the last ones to
show up according to her, they pull up to the house.
It looks quiet inside lights are off.
Like, can you go inside and make sure that we're welcome here?
It looks like it's quiet and people are going to sleep. According to her,
he goes inside and just doesn't come out. She's like, what the fuck, dude?
Like I'm waiting for you to tell me if we can go inside or not.
Doesn't come out. So she gets pissed off.
10 minutes later waiting for him to come out of the house.
So she just leaves and drives home. Okay.
She goes home and she's like on the, by the way, spoilers galore. If you don't want to know what happens here, just move, move on, skip head.
I don't know.
10 minutes or so.
She's calling his phone like, fuck you, dude.
You know why you do that?
All pissed off.
And then, uh, she falls asleep, wakes up at like 4 AM in the morning.
He's not there.
And she starts calling her friend.
She's like, where's John? Where's not there. And she starts calling her friend.
She's like, where's John, where's John, where's
John, John's dead.
Okay.
John is laying in the front yard of the house and
he's got, he's banged up.
He's got these weird marks on his arm that don't
look like road rash or anything like that, but
he's got weird marks on his arm and he's dead.
They get, they get to the scene, they call, you know, they call 911 or whatever, show up and
they take him to the hospital and he's pronounced dead there and he's outside. Oh, by the way,
it's cold outside. It's, they're having a blizzard. Like he freezes, he freezes to death. Basically.
Cause of death was exposure?
Yeah. Yeah. I think it's head trauma and freezing basically.
Did she ever answer why she didn't go inside to look like when he never came out?
Cause it seems like I would go inside.
Yeah.
I think she, she felt, I don't know if she have some kind of like tiff with somebody,
but she kind of felt unwelcome.
So she's like, that's why she's like, you go inside and see if we're allowed to go in.
Okay.
Goes home.
Um, and so the first, it's five episodes long, the first episode, there's kind of
setting the scene and talking about how he died and who's at the house and at the
house, there were, I think three couples plus one friend and all the men are in
law enforcement, the cliffhanger they leave at the end of episode one is that Jen McCabe, who is
the wife of the guy, she's one of the homeowners.
She Googles, she gets, she's on her phone at 2 27 in the morning and Googles, how
long does it take for someone to die out in the cold at 2 27 a.m.
So Karen's at home asleep.
John O'Keefe is dead in the front yard.
She Googles.
You know how long to take someone to die in the cold.
That's a cliffhanger.
It's like, oh shit, this is there's much more going on here.
Each episode there, they introduce more information that's like, holy fuck.
You, you have these swings like, Oh, Karen definitely did it to Karen. There's no way
she could have done it back and forth. Was Jen McCabe ever a person of interest?
No. Okay. So I think it's not until like episode four, did they address, they have like, everything's the court, everything in court is recorded.
And so they asked her about it.
And she said that she got home at like two in the morning.
Okay.
I guess Jen wasn't the wife.
She didn't, that wasn't her house.
Sorry.
I don't want to give bad information.
She went back to her house and she was drunk in bed and she pulled up her phone to Google something on the
internet about her daughter's like dance camp or something
like that. So she opened a Safari tab at 227am. She claims
that when she so Karen, when she woke up at 4am, she. she got, she started frantically calling all her friends
and they went to go look for John.
And they, they then they later found him in the yard.
And Karen, according to Jen said, Hey, can you look up how long it takes someone to die?
Like out when they're, you know, when it's freezing outside, she claims it's the tab
that she opened at 2 27 was the same tab that she used at like
four 30 in the morning.
Oh, okay.
Look this up.
I don't know if that's true.
They had two experts that they brought into court and they had conflicting opinions on
this.
That's reasonable.
I could see that.
It's like when the time is open or when this search is actually conducted.
Yes. Interesting.
Um, another layer to this is that the marks on his arm look like dog bite marks.
Okay.
On John's arm, who's dead.
Nothing, nothing about his injuries says he got hit by a car. The claim is that she hit him with her car.
Okay.
The bite marks on his arm.
Looked like they're from a dog bite. The owner of the house that they were at had a German shepherd who was known to be very aggressive.
And so they had like an expert, like, um, bite analyst to look at the,
look at the bite marks and like, yeah, this is definitely from a dog.
And the guy who owned the dog, the homeowner who's also a cop,
he's like, yeah, the dog's aggressive.
And that's why we got rid of the dog two months after the murder.
Because the dog's aggressive and it's like, why?
Okay.
You got rid of the dog who is probably is evidence in this, in this case.
So that's another layer to it.
She had a busted tail light.
So the theory is that she like hit him with her car or like threw it in reverse,
slammed it reverse, punched it.
And he was back in the driveway or something, killed him.
She drove off.
She has a busted tail light.
Okay.
The initial investigation, they found no remnants of the busted
tail light at the scene.
Okay. The initial investigation, they found no remnants of the busted taillight at the scene.
They take the car into the police impound and hours later they go back out to like,
re-investigate the scene of the crime.
And then they, this time they found little remnants of the taillight next to the body.
But at the police impound, there's video of
someone standing over by, so these are all cops,
right?
Guy who died's a cop.
The guy who owns the house is a cop.
Everyone there are cops.
So like there's this, the theory of the defense
is this is all they're off.
They framed her so that it looks like someone is
standing over by the busted taillight in the
police impound.
There's video footage of it.
And then later on the remnants of the taillight
were found by the body.
So it's like, okay, you planted this there.
Okay.
So there are so many different layers to this thing.
One of the, one of the lead investigators, his name
is trooper Michael Proctor.
And this guy was one of the investigators, like I said, um, because of how the
investigation was handled, they brought feds in to investigate the investigation
basically, because the local department is the one who is leading the investigation.
And they're like, we got to see what's going on.
Cause this seems a little, a little sketchy.
This Michael Proctor guy, total scumbag.
department is the one who was leading the investigation.
And they're like, we got to see what's going on. Cause this seems a little, a little sketchy.
This Michael Proctor guy, total scumbag.
They pulled his phone records and he was, he was
just calling Karen like a C word.
And he was, he was texting with his buddies about
going through her phone and not finding nudes and
stuff.
And this is all like unveiled in court.
After the fact.
Yeah, this is all unveiled in court and this dude gets fired.
So there's so many, just the whole thing just
fucking stinks.
Um, there's a lot to it.
You need to watch the show.
It's, it's super entertaining.
First trial ends in a mistrial trial because yeah, obviously Jerry, they can't,
they can't agree on whether she's guilty or not. So it's a mistrial. They try it for like four days, I think. And
we're not changing our, we're not changing our minds mistrial. So the second trial is
currently ongoing. Not only that, but the jury is currently deliberating. They might reach it,
reach a verdict like while we're recording the show. I don't know.
That would be classic.
Yeah.
Um, there's also like people in the house were deleting text messages.
And at one point, uh, Jen McCabe calls John's phone, like four different times
at like three in the morning or like two in the morning, something like that,
which the defense, their theory is like, Oh, they couldn't, he was dead and they
couldn't find his phone.
So she was trying to call it and see where the phone was so they could get rid of it.
Uh, another, another guy that was at the house, another cop, he actually is an ATF
agent, um, this guy and Karen had like a little flirtation.
They pulled phone records from both of them.
They, before, before John had died, they were like flirting with each other
and like, this feels wrong.
Should we be doing this kind of thing?
This dude destroyed his phone.
Okay.
He dumped, he, he threw it in a dumpster on a military base
that I guess is nearby.
So he like, he got rid of his phone and his reasoning for that is like, Oh, I had stuff on there from a previous investigation and it was
kind of sketchy.
So the people at the house that were there when
John died, they all have a lot of sketchy stuff
going on, like deleting text messages and
destroying phones and getting rid of the dog,
all kinds of stuff like that's going on, like deleting text messages and destroying phones
and getting rid of the dog,
all kinds of stuff like that's going on.
So it's really hard to form an opinion.
If you look, if you like get on Twitter and look,
and they just search Karen Reed,
half people are like, she's guilty,
half of them are like, there's no way she's guilty.
With the dog bite, isn't there a way to tell like,
oh yeah, this is like definitely a dog bite?
Yes.
Like not just by looking at it.
They pulled, they pulled DNA off his arm from
the dog bites.
Yeah.
They found no, no DNA from a dog.
They found DNA from a pig.
Okay.
Well, and the defense is the, the defense is
like, okay, well, what, what kind of chew toys
did the dog, like a pig's ear is like a
popular chew toy for a dog.
And so the dog had like pig DNA in his mouth
and there's this whole fuck.
It's just weird.
Yeah, that's fucking weird.
It's all sketchy.
Um, Oh, there's ring camera footage from
John's house when, um, when Karen wakes up
at 4am to go look for John.
And she's still probably drunk.
She had like nine cocktails.
She backs out of the driveway and there's
video footage of her backing into John's car
with the taillight before she leaves the driveway.
So it looks like she busted her taillight
there and not at the scene of the crime, but
there was no, um,
remnants of the teller anywhere on the ground there. So it's, she's like,
well, that's where I busted the teller, not at the scene of the crime.
It's crazy, dude. All right. Yeah. I'll watch. I have an opinion.
I don't think she did it.
It sounds like there's like multiple bad actors in the documentary. She's,
I mean, she is featured throughout the doc.
She does all these, you know, one-on-one interviews with the filmmakers.
And she, and she looks, she doesn't seem like the best person in the world granted,
but she looks, she seems extremely confident in what she's saying.
Like she's like, she's very open about everything.
She, she delivers every, I mean, she looks like she is, knows what she's talking about. And
she's really confident that she didn't kill this guy. Oh, I just got a slack from Randy. He said,
I don't know if she did it or not, but FYI totally would. What does that mean?
I don't even know what she looks like. I guess I'll go. I looked up what or can't,
we're trying to talk about like a crime that was committed. Someone died near over
this Canton close to Boston. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
So fucking close, bro.
All right there.
Okay.
Big, big poppy hit one out that way one time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, it's wild, man.
Like you hate to see what happens.
Damn.
Yeah, it is wild.
Um, okay.
Okay.
I kind of like having that base knowledge going in and watching this.
I'm gonna watch that thing tonight.
Yeah.
I don't really have much.
I watched the Joplin doc about the Joplin tornado from back in like 2011 or whatever.
And I will say if you want a way to absolutely.
Hmm.
What's the word?
You're like if you are a weather obsessed person, you will.
You will like this.
You will be like blown away by some of the footage,
some of the firsthand accounts.
I talked to like four or five different people that were.
In Joplin and like this tornado, it's just.
Fucking mile wide just decimated the town.
Like, I mean, like real like war zone bomb on off type stuff.
Then you will like this.
So don't watch it on Sunday night.
I don't know what I did.
I've been wanting to watch it.
And like I was I had like Netflix was up because my son was watching
something on there earlier and I was like, Oh yeah. May as well watch this.
Woof.
That's a tough one, dude.
That is a true power of mother nature.
I thought it was pretty intense watch.
Yeah.
I mean, you're like, you're hearing these accounts from people that were like,
there's one group that like they were young and they're pretty dumb.
They were like trying to go chase this thing and they were amateur, amateur,
amateur storm chasers.
They, they, you know, I don't think they had a radar or anything and they're
just like, Oh fuck, it's coming right for us.
It's behind us.
They have to go take cover in this like liquor store and they're getting in.
They're like telling everybody, come on, we gotta go.
We gotta go.
We gotta go.
It's about to get really bad.
And like the people of Joplin, Joplin's in Tornado Alley and they get tornado sirens
all the time.
So it's one of those things where people are like, heard this before, whatever.
And they're like, no, this is bad.
So they all go in the back and get in like one of the coolers.
And you just hear like, yeah, then next thing you know, like the place just explodes, we're
exposed.
We're watching shit fly around, watching tree, like full grown trees just flying sideways.
And then they get in like the eye, like this tornado is big enough to where there's like
a calm and you can look up and see the sky.
Wow.
And it's like calm and everything calms down and then they get the backend of it.
It's interesting.
Like there's a lot of it. There's
some more stuff I would have liked to have heard about. It absolutely decimated the high school.
It happened the night of graduation, so it caught people leaving graduation. It was fucking terrifying,
dude. I've always had a real fascination with them. I think that's one that's worth watching.
And I've always had a real fascination with them. And I think that's one that's worth watching.
But I don't have too much on it.
I do want to jump right into this week in Florida, man.
This week we have a Florida man who is,
he's noteworthy because he did something kind of tight.
Yes, was it a crime if allegedly?
Yeah, it was.
In fact, he was convicted of it.
But a Florida man booked 120 free flights
posing as a flight attendant.
Yeah.
Look, this kind of rules.
120 free flights kind of rules.
Hopefully he gets a slap on the wrist.
I don't know how much jail time he's doing or what.
He's facing 30 years.
30 years?
30 years?
Wire fraud is one of them.
Wire fraud, which can get you 20 and then 10 years for, uh,
entering secure airport areas under false pretenses.
That seems like a big no-no.
That is a big no-no.
And like, how easy is it to, to fabricate these credentials to get
through as a flight attendant?
Jeez.
Apparently he, um, if okay, 34 flights on one airline by pretending to be a flight attendant using
30 different badge numbers and dates of hire to book his no cost flights.
So there's like a portal that he somehow accessed and went in and did all this.
And seemingly it was like, I, he had to, if he was entering these secure areas
was probably having to engage in small talk.
Yeah.
120 flights for free.
That's so much free travel.
My God.
Is he, did he dress up too?
Did he have to actually work on the planes?
He would have to, right?
I would think so.
I don't think he ever.
No, we didn't.
I know he didn't have to work as a flight attendant.
They get, they get free travel.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
That would actually be more funny.
He would have to be in uniform.
So I think it's like, Hey, we need you in this city.
Can you fly here or something like that? You know,
I don't know if it's just, you can fly for fun for free whenever you want.
Maybe you can. I don't know.
Maybe you'd talk to a flight attendant about that.
Cause I know like spouses get certain amount of miles too, or something like
that.
Yeah. I think you do get a lot of free flights if you're a flight attendant and
not just, and you know, I think some of it may be like you're flying to, we're going to hear from flight
attendants, which that's somebody we've not really heard from. Yeah. But I feel like you'd fly to
Denver, but you're not actually working that flight, but you're flying there for your next.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I think that's probably a big part of it.
And you know, if you're a flight attendant, go ahead and fill out that cold call.
I would love to cold call a flight attendant. Yeah.
Cause from what I understand from my friends that were in that industry,
they do a lot of partying. The crew, the flight crew and the flight.
Hooking up.
There's some, some of that. They hook up.
They hook up. Some of them.
Very interesting. Why not?
Yeah. I think this exposes TSA a little bit, you know?
Yeah. They need to lock that shit down.
Yeah. I mean, I'm really hoping my guy doesn't get 30 years.
That's too much for this.
Yeah. Come on, man.
He didn't really hurt anybody.
I'd love to know where he went and like what he did, how he spent his time, if it was worth it.
And if he was only traveling alone, I wonder it appears he was and then also like can you imagine every flight?
You're just wondering if you're gonna get a tap on the shoulder
Yeah, I mean that's every flight. It's like
Catch me if you can touch real catch me if you can't or if it's like hey, we're short
Someone called in safety mind filling in he's got he got to throw peanuts at people for a couple hours.
You know, why not? Yeah.
Are you speaking of peanuts?
Did you all grow up ever doing the bag of peanuts in a Coca Cola bottle?
No thing. What?
That somehow made its way into my timeline.
Is that a thing that you guys you guys have never heard of?
I've never heard of this. No idea.
I know putting I know putting a Ment Coke. This feels a little different.
No, not to like explode, but to like enjoy the saltiness,
the juxtaposition, if you will, Dylan.
Oh, it's like putting Skittles inside vodka
to make Skittle Vodka?
Yeah, I think it's a Southern thing,
but I saw somebody post about it and like everybody's like,
dude, no one's doing this.
And then now I'm getting fed it through my algorithm.
Are people eating the peanuts that are soaked
in the Coca-Cola or are they drinking the salty Coca-Cola? I now it's, I'm getting fed it through my algorithm. Are people eating the peanuts that are, that are soaked in the Coca-Cola?
Or are they drinking the salty Coca-Cola?
I think it's both.
Okay.
See here, according to AI overview, the taste, the sweet and salty
combination is a flavor, a popular flavor pairing.
By the way, it's ridiculous that I have to, I have to say Coca-Cola
because if I say Coke, you guys are just going to make a joke.
What do you mean?
Come in.
Because you are immature little brats.
It's called a miner's Coke or a farmer's Coke.
It's a snack originating in the coal mining regions of the United States.
You don't know shit about that.
I'm just so proud of this AC for what it just shut off because it caught up to
the temperature we wanted it at.
It's doing great things right now.
People put peanuts in Coke for a few reasons.
The combination of sweet and salty tastes well together. The peanuts provide a protein boost.
No one's doing it for the protein. And the tradition is deeply rooted in southern culture,
especially among manual laborers. Laborers. Laborers. Indeed. Yeah, I've never heard of it.
I want to try it. It kind of sounds dope. I'm not drinking that much Coca-Cola though.
How much coke are you doing though?
See, that's the joke that Dylan didn't want to be made.
I get it.
He tried to make it at my expense and I didn't play along.
See, it doesn't work.
It doesn't work.
It doesn't work when I try to do it to Dave.
It's only it works with you.
I'm a little salty about it.
Hey, put me in some Coca-Cola.
Put me in some Coca-Cola.
You guys want to run it back, get the hell out of here?
Yeah.
Let's run it back.
The segment during what you talk about, we already talked about.
Do you understand though?
It's the juxtaposition.
The peanuts and the Coca-Cola.
Is it a juxtaposition?
I don't want to leave the segment because I feel like you're not grasping why people
would do this.
I kind of don't.
Peanuts and Coke.
It's.
Anyway.
That's nuts.
The juxtaposition. Thanks to Coach Carlisle for the ta-ta moment. Oh, peanuts and Coke. It's
anyway, that's the juxtaposition.
Thanks to coach Carlisle for the Tata mug.
Well, I don't like you calling it that ocean gate. You, you'd said it first.
You said it's got, we got some, you said some rocking perks.
You call them some, they are perking.
These things, these things look like they, um, they, I mean, they just,
there's no, no drop in the,
what you call it, your jugs mug.
Anyway, ocean gate from puff piece to poof piece.
Dave is still in on baked potatoes.
Hungry.
Keep on cracking until daddy's finished.
What?
And finally, Dave would fuck Kenny Chesney shit up.
Thank you for running back.
Continuing the emphasis there.
Oh, we'll see you tomorrow.
