all right we're back circling back podcast coming to you live from Wash Media Headquarters in Austin, Texas. My name's Will DeFries to my left. David, Mr. Chicago Dog Ruff. Doing a Gladiator 2, huh? Yeah. Do we need a Gladiator 2? We wouldn't need it if it was a bootleg cast, but we have a great cast for this movie. I mean, it's... Here, tell me if you know any of these names.

I'm not as familiar. Pedro Pascual. Den as familiar. Pedro Pascal. Denzel Washington. Good work. Connie Nielsen. When a movie is that highly regarded like by everyone, they know that they have to

really come through. So my hopes are high. I think they're going to do a good job because they can't afford not to. I think it's going to be good it's gotta be like redoing top gun for example that you know looking back on that not that not great but no that was a worthy that was a worthy sequel dude that was so good that was a great sequel speak up randy go back and rewatch it i mean is there is there any other cast members at all who's who am i missing what is sweeney's in it or something no paul mescal he's doing the baby i said pedro pascal that's a different person yeah there's two baby girls gonna be in that movie

yeah pedro's the rare old man uh baby girl ah you guys know what we're talking about right and you scott is uh on the watch list, though. He's pretty much in for me at this point. We'll talk more about that later. Gladiator 2 will be good. Denzel's not signing on unless it's a good script. At this point in his career, he didn't have to do this shit. I don't know much about Connie's work,

but I'm willing to learn about it just based on her inclusion in this movie alone. She's Danish, and she's 5'10". She's made out of pastries. I love a good Danish, man. I don't even know what a Danish is. If I walked up to a bakery right now and I had to pick out the Danish in the case,

I'm not getting there. I think it's got a little of the jelly stuff with it. Am I wrong? It looks like in the middle is a dollop of either cream or... Yeah, okay. So there's a dollop. It's not encased? I don don't think it's in case i never freaked with toaster strudels and i know that i was in the the rare minority of that no you were you were in good company i didn't think they were that great they were way better than pop tarts i would call me the dollop

llama i would legit go in there and just squeeze the frosting into the mouth and call it a day okay that's one way to enjoy it yeah yeah i didn't i didn't really mess with toaster strudels as wild as i got was a pop tart pop tarts go so hard man it's been a minute i almost bought some for the office the other day but they didn't have uh s'more so i was like nah do you go you go toasted or just room temp on the on them bitches it just depends how i'm feeling right don't worry about it right hey speaking of s'mores um there's a pretty famous sandlot scene i don't know if you guys notice in the bathroom of sluggers they're they're gonna have the cast of the sandlot there and they had a little poster up in the bathroom i saw it every time i peed which was frequently that's exciting

and um yeah they're gonna and they had like a then and now so it had their character and then like them now they're gonna get the redheaded guy that we saw a carve oh interesting speaking of s'mores there's a pretty popular blog post too on washback i still call them s'mores i i don't it just sounds like you're doing too much then why is there an apostrophe in the word i don't know if they're called s'mores supposed to you wouldn't need the apostrophe supposed to run together though you know but it's like give me some more no i get it it's one of the most iconic mashups in food history are we talking prison back shots at all can you intro me like dylan chivery geez man hey uh first of all happy to be here second of all, no mention of this super dope long sleeve rollback, whatever. Thirdly.

Don't say thirdly. Thirdly. Dave doesn't like that. I learned that very early on while editing at PGP that Dave was not a thirdly guy. Firstly. Fourthly. And I respected that about him. And I respected that sense.

It's just bad etiquette. You guys hear about these new COVID variants called the flirt? Yeah, I told you about it about 18 minutes ago. I'm trying to catch one, man. Dave legitimately told you. Well, I got good news for you. I'm trying to catch the COVID variant. I'm trying to get flirty with it. I either need to get a summer weight comforter or I need to stop sweating at night.

But your boy's throat situation is not great. I'm trying to get that flirt on. I might have it right now. I'm top candidate in the office for having the flirt. Can we make out after this? I want to. We can just shut ourselves in a small room and talk for hours. I might have it right now. I'm top candidate in the office for having the flirt. Can we make out after this? No. I want to.

We can just shut ourselves in a small room and talk for hours. Let's get flirty. It's fine. I mean, whatever. Anyway, very happy to be here, man. God, what a show this is. You know what? If they want us to take it seriously and fear it, you can't do flirt. Yeah, right?

It's like, ooh, that sounds like a fun one. Is it called that because people get is it like is it acquired just you know that easily just from flirting it's named after the technical names for their mutations it's a it's a group of variants called the flirt variants plural man do i need to start wearing a mask bro let's go out this week and there's a flirt variant happening yeah need to start wearing a mask bro let's go out this weekend there's a fluid variant happening yeah you should start wearing a mask i think i'm gonna start masking there's a lot of masks on the uh plane dude you couldn't pay me to wear a fucking face diaper you're so woke dude those fucking face diapers dude i hope you guys are fucking happy people call them that i've never heard that.

Oh, dude. That was the grossest time of COVID is when people came up with the term face diaper, and it was just like, okay. Just to make it sound. Yeah. And it was like, okay, dude. For P word. That's not cool.

I just wore a Jason mask. It was pretty twisted. Really? Yeah. It didn't even cover my mouth. It was weird. I just wore the ghost face mask from scream oh the mask from scream yeah it's epic it was it was pretty sick people are

scared it typically won't let you on planes with those but it's a different i fucking did it anyway i don't care unprecedented what are you gonna do stop me yeah they probably could you had pre-check you're good they checked you checked you out. Were you good? Did you pass that check? Yeah. How about you tell everyone what pre-check means, Dave? He informed me as we were getting on the plane to Chicago. He informed me 30 seconds before I informed you. He was really proud of that joke, wasn't he?

What? Dave's had the new pre-check. They take a black light and just hold it down by your crotch to see if you've pre-ed. I can't let you on the plane i don't know why that why that would be a thing i didn't how many people do they catch with it i don't know uh you have to ask them sir you clearly pre-ed you should uh foyer that see if you can get some some records some government records this is not true by the way yeah i didn't get any black light treatment at uh midway yesterday really no you must

have had clear dude the the clear situation going on at the austin airport right now it's the most dire it's ever been when dylan walked into the airport the other day dave and i were not in line together but we kept on crossing each other in the in the s line that was forming is that what's called i don't know we're going back and forth. Sure. Snake line, snake drafting. And Dylan walks in looking like he slept in the parking lot. Yeah. You looked so tired when you walked in for that flight. Did I really?

You were normal by the time I talked to you at the gate. But when you walked into the airport, it looked like you had literally been sleeping on the curb for the flight the next morning. Yeah. I felt fine. I guess I was tired. The clear line, Dave and I, we were chopping through the pre-check line pretty decently.

It was a huge pre-check line, but it moved quickly. The clear line was just standstill. No one moving, just watching the pre-check line go. I was like, how are these people still standing here? I thought about it, and I was like, I do still have clear. And then, thank God, I just committed to pre. Are we getting to a point where so many people have pre-check now that the regular line just moves faster? No, definitely doesn't move faster.

Okay. And I also think that even though those lines are getting very long, it still saves you to have those things. Yeah. Clear has saved me twice where I definitely would have missed my plane had I not had clear. Maybe not definitely. It took the pressure off.

Dude, I always say clear eyes full hearts yeah friday night lights i like not having to take my shoes off or in my case on friday my boots baby there's been a lot of hullabaloo online about this lately have you seen it what a lot of chatter about um there's an article written i I think by the New York Times about. About Dave wearing boots at the airport? No, about just etiquette at parties. And somebody was like, don't ask me to take the shoes off. And that part of the column really started creating a dialogue.

At a party? Yeah. You can't do that. Like a house party? Yeah. You can't do that. These are New Yorkers, keep in mind. Keep in mind they're New Yorkers.

That's crazy. If you're a shoes off household you can't have a house party yeah yeah that's that's the rule that's out of the question honestly oh i i mean i take my shoes off when i enter the house anyway most of the time uh but if we have people over it never crosses my mind to even tell them to take their shoes off just because that seems like a nightmare to manage yeah like i don't want to be telling everybody like what if it's randy and he's got his toe issues especially when like like uh shoes are a big deal especially to women who like to put an outfit together oh hold on tell us more no it's true they're like shoes are like is dylan sexist because

he's saying that guys can't get a fit off too when we spent time around women to know enough time around women to know that enough time around women to know that the shoe part of their outfit is like what they think about the most. Some of us more than others. Randy doesn't. Also, I learned. He tried.

I learned. I learned that while in Chicago, very few people in Chicago wear boots. I got so many comments from, not just people at the meetup, but strangers on the street be like dude boots man are those ostrich like yeah dude no one hey dude no one wears boots in the midwest i got like 20 comments from strangers on the street someone went out of

their way to tell me like yeah nobody wears them up here i'm like yeah someone told me that too probably the same person chicago i mean i don't know like the it's not the wild west it's like it's like they like what randy it's like they've never seen don't know like the it's not the wild west it's like it's like they like what randy it's like they've never seen him before what no one wears boots up there at all and that's why randy can't move back to chicago because he owns like 12 pairs down is that why i was getting so many looks you get a couple hombres from texas up there you see what happens buddy damn we'll bring some boots out on you that's why when i was walking through the batting cages trying to get to the bathroom people were like just getting out of my way yeah all those gen z-ers that were standing there this

guy's probably packing heat they're like oh well this guy's not fucking around this guy's probably got a small bladder but he's got boots on i doubt they thought that he was going in a bar people use the restroom there's a thing yeah but i used it more than they did true what are you saying that's your restroom shot to the attendant yeah I zelled him some money. That was chill of you. I had to buy a pack of gum. Buying a pack of gum at a meetup is a really good purchase, if I'm being honest with you.

Because somebody didn't bring the nicotine gum. This guy didn't bring the Lucy. You didn't bring the Lucy. Why was I supposed to bring gum for you? I don't know. He's not supposed to bring gum for you. I don't do the gum. He's not your fucking pledge. I don't do the Lucy. Why was I supposed to bring gum for you? I don't know. He's not supposed to bring gum for you. I like your pledge. He's not your fucking pledge.

I don't do the gum, bitch. You're the guy who's always supposed to be holding. I don't know if that's, I'm not a pledge. You're Lucy pledge. Randy kept trying to shove cameras in my pockets so that I would take photos. And I was like, Randy,

I don't want to be the guy walking around putting flash photography in people's faces. Randy was on his goofiest at that. Randy over there shoving hands over people's pants. He was so giddy. We're lucky that Randy is relatively normal today. The thing about Randy in Chicago is that because he used to live there, he walks with a certain strut. He does.

And I don't know if you noticed this. When we're in a group walking together, he's always in the lead. He's like, you guys are following me. I do that always but because he lived there everything's a landmark to him in relation to us and so he will point out anything he's like oh yeah dude yeah that place serves hot dogs yeah nothing notable about him it's just i know i had a hot dog my dad used to work in that building right there yeah hey randy uh what neighborhood is this really cool uh architecture i don't know i don't know

we're driving down the highways like where are we right now. I don't know. I don't know. We're driving down the highway. He's like, where are we right now? I'm like, I don't know. Chicago. That seems like a reasonable question. Where are we right now? We're on the highway, Dave. You look over to the right. That's a really cool church.

What is that? It's like we were in his city, and he wanted to show us around, but he didn't know a ton. He knew a few things. He's like, man, this place has changed, bro. But like in his Randy way. Yeah. Can we officially talk about Chicago? Like officially, officially? Yeah. Bro, this place has changed, bro. But like in his Randy way. Yeah. Can we officially talk about Chicago? Like officially, officially?

Yeah. Bro, let's go out this weekend. There's a crazy event happening. I like to turn up. Bro, bro, bro. There's a crazy event happening. Let's just go have fun and let go a little bit. Let's go.

Recapping this weekend in Chicago, presented by our friends in Chicago, Muggsy. Muggsy makes damn comfortable clothing for guys everywhere. They started by reinventing the jeans game in 2015 and now they make the best jeans, chinos,

tops, and joggers ever. Spent a bunch of time in the Mugsy store the other day. A couple hours plus. Went around, felt pretty much damn near everything. Let me just say,

my Mugsy power rankings have changed since being in that. Yeah. They've added some dope shit i feel bad for the email they're gonna get from us with all the requests we have because that cat that little hint of cashmere in those uh sweatshirt things oh my god unreal so soft yeah i was like i want that i want that i want that it was kind of like i as much as i enjoyed

them saying don't buy anything we'll just send it to you, I also wanted the immediate gratification of being able to wear one of those things on the plane the next day and stuff. Did they say that? So I just stole the shit. Did they say that? Oh, that was you? Yeah, I just stole the shit.

Oh, they were trying to pat me down. I was like, no, man. I'm wearing boots. Did they ask which way you dress? They did. The way that I dress is with Mugsy. I told them tucked. Made from buttery soft padded stretch

materials that look stylish but are insanely comfortable never too baggy never too tight they got over 18 000 five-star reviews from dudes of every shape and size we love them first time customers get 20 back on their first order right now all you need to do is head to mugsy.com enter your email and the discount code is automatically added to your cart that's 20 back on the only jeans and pants you will ever wear again free shipping free returns on every single order so the only risk is never knowing how great they truly are again mugsy.com 20 back enter that email where shall we begin there's a lot to cover here boys there's a lot to cover oh should we hit should we how about like we each list our highlights like our best parts i'm just a high life living the low life okay um i think that's

a good idea i thought it was a decent idea i've got some well i'll finish with my my mvps and you guys can opine okay okay you're gonna You're going to finish with them or are you going to start with them? Are you going to start or finish? Go ahead, bitch. MVP number one. Okay. I've got, and these are all listeners, okay, whose names I may or may not remember. MVP number one is Grace.

Oh, yeah. Oh, wow. Good call. First of all, she is one of a handful of listeners that went back-to-back nights yes mugsy meetup or mugsy happy hour if you the proud um although i noticed she posted an instagram and you two are clearly visible in her slideshow not a great photo of me your boy however didn't quite make it, Grace. Maybe you shouldn't big time her. Yeah, you're allowed to look people in the eye and talk to them.

I had numerous backers come up to me and say, big text, more like big time, Dylan won't talk to me. That's bullshit. Why was that a headline? I was so kind to everyone, including Grace. She had ample opportunity to take a picture it shows up friday saturday to the actual meetup with uh wilmon's branded signs yeah the joy the joy that i felt when i saw the wilmon sign uh getting put up no one had told me it was there

no one told me anything about it but i was on the other side of the bar and i just saw someone struggling to put it on the wall it just made me so happy to see she also brought a wilmons uh like poster board well done it was like what do you call it when there's like a back it's like cut out there's like a whole back to it i don't know it was really well done you don't think that's a good descriptor i'll keep going and she set it out on the table there at the meetup with a with the pen no so it was just on the table there at the meetup with the pen? No. So it was just on the table. And a backer came up to me and said, Will, I have a pen. I think that we should all sign this.

That wasn't a grace initiative. And I looked at him and I was like, that's a really good idea. I was like, that being said, it does look like it's pretty nice. And I don't want to give you the clearance to do it without talking to someone. And he was like, well, I think we should do it. And I was like, yeah, I think we should too. And so he just started doing it. Okay. Yeah. Well, apparently she's going to mail it to us. Yes. None of us wanted to take it and take responsibility for it because I knew I was going to bend it on the flight home. So 10 o'clock rolls around and that's when the piano, there's dueling pianos in that room. That's when they start kicking off.

And by that time, people who weren't there for the meetup started to roll in and look for tables and i looked over and i saw some people i'm like fairly certain they weren't there for us signing it and i was like i can only imagine what's being written on this so hopefully there's some good stuff i signed it i signed it yeah that's a good mvp dave who else you got uh the canadian guy's dad. Oh, yeah, dude. Shout out to them both for coming into town. Nice guys. And just the pops, man.

Not only did he come out to the meetup, he made it to the afters. You lek trick. He's the rare Canadian that you get to talk to in the States who just drops A's all the time. Oh, yeah. What part were they from? Windsor, which is very close to Detroit. Okay. So if you go across the bridge in Detroit, you find yourself in Windsor, Canada.

Great. Great. Another MVP, Randy, for when it came time to hit the afters, not only did Randy drop a photo of the sign of Boss Bar where we'd be going, he dropped a detailed map, including traffic patterns. So he went back to back. He's making sure the folks get there. When I saw Randy after the meetup, he was not too drunk or anything, but you were drunker than I anticipated you being. And so I got a lot of enjoyment out of it because I was like, oh, Randy's kind of, he's

kind of having fun right now. Let's do this. I had two Red Bulls at a boss bar just to stay awake. Okay. That checks out. Really? Two? Yeah.

What time did you get to sleep? How'd you order them? Two Red Bulls, please. Two Red Bulls, please. Sugar free? No. Oh. All right.

I had a full sugar Red bull recently and it was so fucking good it's very like it's it it tasted like a high school subaru drive very tasty when we got to the hotel uh brett like they had the little like lobby um store brett got a sugar-free red bull immediately drank it and then an hour later, he was drinking a Celsius. When we actually went to the luxury thing. I was like, what is this? That's out of pocket. Shout out to him, man.

You guys ever steal from those stores on accident? In the hotels when they have the stuff up and you're like, I don't know who to ask. It's late at night and you just want a water and something to chew on and no one's around i did it in new york one time it's lived with me for the entire time like no one was there and i was like i don't know what to do and i like i don't really if they catch me on camera like i'll fully pay for it it's not that big a deal uh tall guy drinking budweiser clay yeah just yet another six three and above listener and i was like oh this guy's tall and then you look down he's just he's just pounding uh some red white dynamite well i'm gonna i'm gonna throw the uh the three brothers was their last abbott brothers the abbott

Sauce. We had a very limited Facebook group, and this backer was quick acting and brought some A1 Sauce, and he and Randy were initiated into the Daniel Boone Society live. A couple Delta Betas over here now. It was tight, dude. It was tight. Which, it was like on this most recent Listener Voicemails

episode, too. So it was like the most recent recent listener voicemails episode too so it was like the most recent episode what did you think of the shot a1 sauce and whiskey it was not that bad it's not that bad like the a1 sauce is so strong that it really takes away the sting of the whiskey and makes it somewhat palatable as long as you like a1 sauce he is also one of my mvps uh and you know that's i'll leave it there i'll keep it short i mean they're you know the backers in general who uh mainly mostly respected my my wishes on not doing shots we did the malort shot right when i got there sally documented it wasn't great and then um one other person was like come

on man just do a tequila shot and i'll say i'll do the fucking i did a rumpleman's hand up i did zero shots god damn it i did zero shots not only that you'll boon not no i'm already in the society i didn't need to do that you didn't even do one no no he was just a moderate i ordained it yeah it has to be witnessed yeah wow um no not only that i didn't even get offered shots i think people knew like i can't do it i did have i did have a backer walk up and grab my beer out of my hand to see how much was in it to see if i needed another one and i respected that move a lot i had a lot in it though it was a bad night to be a modelo can yeah they're they're pretty good about making sure we don't go thirsty for too long they're very generous group of people do

we have any non-meetup highlights yeah i. I really enjoyed on Saturday around 11 o'clock, I guess, we left the hotel. We walked from our hotel all the way through, what's the park called where the bean is and all that, Randy? Millennium. Millennium. Millennium Park. It was great. It was really humid and hot. But other than that, it was an excellent... The city was just popping.

It was alive. It's an incredibly well-done park. Chicago's a really good Saturday morning walk city. A lot of people out doing stuff. I really enjoyed that. We walked all the way to the lake and along the boardwalk there. We popped top. Some of us got some ice cream on the way.

No, no, no, no, no, no. I heard it was not ice cream. No, no, no. It was the ice cream of the future. We, no, no, no, no, no. I heard it was not ice cream. No, no, no. It was ice cream of the future. We popped Toppin' A Dippin' Dots. Yeah. And walked all the way to the Planetarium Museum, which was good. Dude, you love Toppin' Dots, dude.

AC was blowing cold in there. It felt nice. Yeah, that might have been the highlight of the Planetarium. I got this new hat. You got a hat, too. That's a great hat. Thank you. Did the planetarium

suck it didn't suck but like i was like oh aquarium would have been cooler yeah i will officially say now having been to all four of those museums at campus the planetarium is probably the worst of the four yeah we kind of chumped it we chunked it well i felt i i felt bad because we sally and i were like 45 minutes ahead of you guys like by the time you guys got to the bean we were there 45 minutes before we didn't actually go up to see the bean uh but there was a backer who's at the mugsy event um and he was a member at the art institute and had messaged sally being like uh if you guys want to get in early during member hours i know you said you wanted to go there i'll get you guys in so he scanned us in and i was like i have to go do this i wish we had gone there it was tight it was tight

um like it's just a cool museum yeah there's so much to see and there's so many famous artwork like like there's so much famous artwork in there that it's like you would just turn a corner and you're like oh shit i think i would have enjoyed that more or the aquarium we didn't stick around how long did you guys go to the aquarium for the planetarium or planetarium we were there for an hour and a half maybe okay that we planetarium we were there for an hour and a half maybe okay that we were yeah we were there for like an hour 15 we could have done more but we were starving but the walk there for me was more fun than actually being in yeah it was it was a nice walk it was popping top really cool city we might have gotten bodied by a tour guide

on a segway for no reason at all did he pump fake you no he just they rode by us and we're all we'd all pop top at this point and what did he he was like you no he just they rode by us and we're all we'd all pop top at this point and what did he he was like you guys are doing great you guys doing great guys keep going and all right as he as he rolled his tour by on a segue that's like watch your mouth the the view push him off the view of the city from where the planetary museum is because you like walk all the way out there you look look back across like the little bay there. Okay. Beautiful. Okay. The city's beautiful.

It's a cool city. Yeah. That interaction was very much Southerners not understanding Midwesterners when the guy was just like being nice to them. Those two and like KJ

were like, what the fuck is that guy's problem? Yeah, what's this guy's problem? Okay, Southerners are known for being very kind people too. It's same condescending. Hospitality, not kind. Southern hospitality is like a-

Hospitality, not kind. I completely disagree with that. No, no. No, you're wrong. There's something- They're less neighborly. The minor exchanges that Midwesterners have are totally different than the exchanges in Texas.

But what is, you guys are doing great. We were just walking shirtless. It seemed backhanded. It seemed like, maybe it's because we looked so good. And he's like, I got to knock these guys down a peg. That's how I got there. That's got to be it. I was like, all right.

It's got to be it. And he was on a segue, and I was like, you know what? Fair play to you. Fair play. You're thinking of like Northeast. I think my point just got proved right. The Midwest. No, you guys don't do the gas station exchanges that Midwesterners have.

You just don't. What is that? Just the hellos, the goodbyes, the thank yous, the excuse mes. Everyone in Austin just puts their head down and doesn't talk to each other. If you go to a Midwestern gas station, you're going to be saying, all right, I'll be seeing you. Little comments like that, you just don't have those here it's just different the guy looked too dorky to be uh mean like you're right well he was just a nice dork with a helmet on maybe he was being nice but i was like we're not really like

it's we're not struggling we're just kind of walking yeah we're eating ice cream yeah we're eating ice from the future actually it was funny so i've never had dipping dots it's delightful what are you what are you waiting for dog um i don't know i to be honest i haven't been in a situation where they've been like like perfect for me um and i just i would like to do it at some point well i did i got that tour guides uh the company he works for, and I already filed a complaint. Okay. So good luck. Good.

Good luck, buddy. No, man, there's nothing better than having your shirt off eating Dippin' Dots in the sun. And it melts real quick, so you get kind of that, you get that melty dot. You know what I'm talking about. So delightful. Does the melty dot interact with the dots that haven't melted yet in any way?

Oh, my God. When it starts to melt, that's prime dipping dots eating right there. The edges. It starts on the edges. You eat from the edge in. Oh, my God. I had two things. I had two things on Saturday that were just absolutely amazing.

I had the Au Cheval burger for lunch, the burger that everyone talks about. I'm really jealous. Whatever. I've talked shit about it on PGP like a million times. And it was honestly incredible. I was very happy with it best burger you ever had it's in the it's in the debate it's in it's in the debate i i'm very comfortable saying that i can i could make a case for it being the best what's the price point on that bad boy 16 bucks oh and then i added bacon because i'm a savage i I was going to guess $35. I didn't add the egg, but it was really good. I mean, for two of us, we got two burgers.

I added bacon. She did not. We got some bread and butter pickles, two beers, and some fries, and we spent $100 total. Is it like counter service or is it upscale? No. Okay. So here's what I did, and I think this is valuable information for anyone going out there because all the Chicago backers were amazed that I got in so quickly. We were hungry early because I think we just woke up early, walked around all morning, didn't eat breakfast. We went at like 11.30.

You go up to the guy, you put your name on the list. He says, all right, give me your number. You have 10 minutes to get here after we text you. We went and shopped for a little bit. He said it was going to be between 10 and 30 minutes. And so we were like, all right, let's go to a couple of shops. And 10 minutes later, got the text, walked right in, sat at the bar and we had a waiter at the bar. Okay. It wasn't the bartender. It was a guy that was just walking around. And so I wish we could have done that. It was fun. By the time that I, like we had sat down and everything, I think you guys would have been waiting forever to do it yeah and and but i'm

glad that i did it one time it was good but my favorite thing that i ate all weekend was the wiener circle hot dog that we had after the meetup let me before we get to that uh baba reba little baba reba little baba reba excellent favorite meal reasonably priced food was incredible very hot vibes were on point it was a great that's my favorite meal in chicago easily wiener circle was an absolute scene it looked like a blast it was so cool being there with dylan we walk in there right right before us where there are two ground zero right before us there were two older couples uh white oh that white older couple two them. They walk in and they say, the guy goes, what's up you fucking bitches? To the women working at Wiener Circle.

And they didn't miss a beat. They're like, oh, fuck you, pussy. It was so fucking funny. It was so egregious. I was just like, why are people interacting like this? I look at Will. I'm like, we're about to have fun at this place. And it did not disappoint.

We were all playing so scared. No one wanted to go order. No one wanted to be the person to get yelled at so we sally and i fed dylan to the uh the wolves after after it had to be him after these couples placed their order they said well what do you want on your what do you want on your fucking burger or something like that and uh one of the women goes i want extra pussy juice online it was the wife of the guy we were like this is so out of pocket they were like i will put pussy juice on it for you like oh my god i don't know i'm scared like i don't know what to do here

and uh i i even asked before they ordered i said what i said i whispered to him so what should i get here and they're like you can't remember the fuck they you know they were like just it's like they were it's like they were working there too like they're everyone's like in on the oh yeah that guy's that guy has spent six figures of their lifetime. There was this black couple sitting next to us. They had ordered and then I guess their order was ready. And one of them walks out and they said, hey, black people, is this for years to go? And the whole place just fucking erupted.

It was hysterical. You can't do that. Absolutely hysterical. I need like a doc on this they were calling all the men pussies and all the women bitches it was so fucking fun it looked good how was the actual dog it was really good it was really good it was the first time i had had like an official chicago hot dog and i was very very happy with it and i i definitely will be ordering them on menus when i crave it in the future i don't know why i just

wasn't hungry. Probably all the Coke you were doing. It might have been the mushroom. Were you doing the regular cocaine or the pink cocaine? I was doing the pink, the flirty Coke. So someone ordered the chocolate shake, which is, I don't think they sell shakes there, milkshakes. What could it be then?

Which is code for one of the women behind, working at the counter will show their titties. So they flash the lights on and off for about a minute. And they're like, all right, cameras away. This place passes inspection. Cameras away. And then this woman walks out and just pulls her shirt up and just starts bouncing her tits.

Okay. It's so funny, man. Okay. So I had left by this point, I assume. Oh, you did. I did not see any chocolate shake. You missed the chocolate shake, yeah. Wow. They did it. And it was really man. Okay. So I had left by this point, I assume? Oh, you did. Oh, yeah. I did not see any chocolate shake. You missed the chocolate shake. Yeah.

Wow. Okay. They did it. And it was really funny. Okay. I was not aware that that actually went down. By this point, there were probably 30, 40 people. Oh, it got...

We walked in at a great time because we walked in and got immediate service. And then when we sat down, it was busy. But I'm really glad we went there. I got out unscathed. No one called me a pussy the whole time. Yeah, you got out way too easy. I her to say something really really bad to you and just let it rattle you it was really it was fun but we were pretty giggly at that point i don't think anything would have put you in a bad mood no i was no it was all fun uh yeah babariba was

fun that was just a fun flirty gets a good late night meal not late but like 9 9 p.m dinner something like that it was a good spot um randy at the airport i heard uh i heard randy was a little tight at the airport i don't know tired it was more just brain fried well i, I did. I mean, you were drinking before noon yesterday per the Bloody Mary on your Instagram story. But I heard a little rumor that Randy not only sat in the incorrect row, but the incorrect like side of the plane. He just he got on the plane and sat behind Dave. Yeah.

Yeah. Even like did like a funny like grab Dave on the head thing. Let me know. I was sitting behind him. 30 seconds later. Yeah. Yeah. Even like did like a funny, like grab Dave on the head thing to let me know I was sitting behind him. 30 seconds later. Yeah. A mother and her daughter is like, that's I sat in 24 B and my seat was 23.

Before this, before this. So Randy's wearing the Sunday scaries crew neck, like in the airport. And like, I'm sitting next to him. We're waiting for the plane to board. And he's like,

I'm going to be hot. So he pulled out like, he pulls out a row back workout tee. I'm like, I'm sitting next to him. We're waiting for the plane to board. And he's like, I'm going to be hot. So he pulls out like a, he pulls out a row back workout tee. I'm like, oh, he's going to put that on. It makes sense. He puts it on over the crew neck and decides to take off the crew neck by like pulling it through under the sleeve. When there's a bathroom about 50 yards away. Honestly, no one's going to care if you just take off your sweatshirt and put on a different shirt in the airport and like the the scene that

it attracted people were just like uh you look like you're trying to get out of a straight jacket like houdini a houdini magic trick and i did it you did it in about 45 seconds it's because right now we're just like right now we're just looking at you like dude what is this guy doing preposterous when you guys are changing at the gym like say you get out of the shower do you leave the towel on to put your boxers on or do you drop towel and let the ass i drop real quick i drop it i try not to spend too much time hanging but i only confront this when i go to like resorts and you're changing in like the locker room or something because i don't work out famously not yet and yeah i've just become a i've embraced the uh the old man in me and i've just been

dropping that's fine putting that fanny out there for the boys oh fanny the older you get the less you care yeah judging by all the very naked old men i think it's a right i think it's like almost a right that you get yeah like no i'm older now no, I'm older now. Unless you're a Targaryen. Some of the guys will just completely naked and walk up to the sink and start shaving butt-ass naked. It's like, what are you doing, man? I've got a hygiene low point from the trip, and I want to just put this out there. This isn't that big of a deal. Wait, was there a thumbprint in your Chicago-style pizza?

No, Dylan was a good roommate. He was fine. Thank you. No issues at all. good roommate he was fine thank you no issues at all um so you know hotel lobbies will often have like the big jug of water that has like cucumber in it or something and they've got the cups there it's a nice touch it has the little spout it's the thin spout i watched a young lady walk up to it with her water bottle and filled up the water bottle by putting the spout all the way into it and then just flipping

it down to like and it wasn't um it's clearly one that she'd been drinking out of so she just contaminated the entire thing by just sticking all the way in there even touching the water that she and i was like dude you are such a fucking just beast for this and then i watched dylan fill up and drink out of it oh god it bothered me okay it bothered me you're gonna get flirty i'm trying to get the flirt what kind of water bottle was it it was like a stanley or was it like a nalgene no no it was it was like a um whatever the chicago grocery store of choice is okay it was like their store brand okay it didn't look good okay had it been ev, it might have changed the game. A final note for me, I love Chicago. I think it's a wonderful city. It's very pretty. It's popping. People are out doing their thing. The park was just absolutely alive. It's just a great

city, man. I have a weird relationship with the city because I respect it. I think it's an awesome city. I think Chicago, people like Chicagoans themselves are great people. But so much of my Chicago history was just me visiting my friends when I was in my like early twenties and partying and then feeling like shit all day there and hating the city and then doing it again that night and then waking up and going home. And so I just have this like weird anxiety whenever I go to Chicago that like, oh man, like this city's treated me terribly in the past. It wouldn't be nice to go without an itinerary that's like bar stop after bar stop and just kind of enjoy it.

It's such a drinking city. It's such a drinking city that it's hard to avoid going to bars. Hey, at Boss Bar, I was in the bathroom. First of all, a lot of bars in Chicago, the bathrooms are downstairs learn that or at least the ones we went to but a boss bar i went down to p and uh there was a group of like early 20s like irish guys irish kids that were like look real cool hello david one of them got bad one of them was in a stall and the bouncer came and uh grabbed him and pulled him out of there because he was doing coke yeah he kicked him out i've seen multiple people do coke in that bathroom a lot is that why is that why you chose it for the uh after party no because it was one block away and

i didn't go to boss bar did he no i didn't go to i was gonna say i didn't i didn't get the vibe dylan was gonna get make it to boss bar i was in bed by like 11 15 each night it was awesome yeah i was pretty hit man i was pretty hit these guys were like all like five nine and under so they were big guys and the bouncer was huge he's a big guy and they were like so they huge guys they kicked him out and the guy was kind of putting up a little fight like dude you know like oh i didn't do that and then guys like nope gotta go gotta go kicked him out and then i watched his boys like contemplating like oh he could have hit butter them oh he should have done and i was just like dude you like, oh, he could have hit better than me. He should have done it all.

And I was just like, dude, you guys, there's like, it would have been like the funniest little fight because he just got these tiny little Irish guys versus this giant bouncer dude. Would you have joined the Irish guys since you know your brothers with them? No. Okay. No. Okay. It would have been over quick.

It would have been a pretty funny. Okay. Shout out Cork County. Major shout out Cork County.

Nashville. okay tennessee zach bryan pretty popular soups pops right now it might be the biggest is he the biggest male artist in the world right now i think in i think in like united states in the united states right now i would say that like he

is if he's not like from a popularity standpoint, from like a number standpoint, streams, whatever, I don't really know. But the amount of people that like him that don't normally listen to radio country, or I mean, I don't know if I wouldn't classify him necessarily as like pure radio country, but it shocks me when people start bringing it up. I'll say this the bar that randy and brett and those guys i know maybe randy didn't go the bar that brett went to that's where we like got uh lunch yeah yeah yeah next to a little baba reba when we were outside the cover band played like i heard three different zach bryan songs well well when you said you listened to his new album

and you actually really liked it i was like okay this guy appeals to a lot of different types of... Because that's not your... I don't normally listen to... Honestly, I like him and I respect him a lot. I don't listen to him that often because it's pretty heavy stuff most of the time, and I don't really feel like going through it on my drive to work. I kind of just want to turn my brain off a little bit. But I have the utmost respect for his music.

I love it. He's good. I think it's really good. He's really good. Okay. Well, he brought two people out on stage. I think he played consecutive nights, so. I love it. He's good. I think it's really good. He's really good. Okay, well, he brought two people out on stage. I think he played consecutive nights, so this was not all on the same night. Which one would you say is a bigger pull?

Kacey Musgraves, who was on one of his singles? Very popular song? Or the Hawk Tua girl? Hawk Tua girl's rise to fame has been unbelievable. I just saw a picture. Shaq just posted a picture with her so like she's shaquille o'neal yeah from shazam the same guy i wish it was shack from love island it's shaquille o'neal i'm deep into two different seasons of love island right now

just living in multiple villas dude brought her on stage and let her uh sing a couple lines did she not know the song? She struggled through part of it. Not super well. She got emboldened at one point. That's kind of his bit. I mean, it is his bit. He brings people out to do revival at the end.

And, you know, whatever. That's fine. That's your thing. But, yeah, she looked a little uncomfortable there. And that is a very awkward position to be for a civilian well you don't have like the headpiece in to like know like your volume you don't know how far you should have your mouth from the microphone like i barrett and i didn't do a sound check before we did our retail therapy event at nordstrom we did it like earlier that afternoon but by the time we sat down and had the microphones in front of us i was like oh i don't know where to put this right now and i i my first note was

like really high because i was just like it might i had the microphone too close well um casey had a weekend too i don't know if you guys are following her on instagram um no out of respect for my wife i don't follow her on instagram a lot of denim she hit him with that mario fit a lot of denim big denim weekend for her big denim so good for her i gotta think i mean i think casey's the bigger get you know probably um but is hoktua in more demand right now how long does this last hawk tua yeah what's hawk two is i don't know is she gonna last longer than uh nft nick hawk tua if i'm hawk tua right now i'm trying to do every podcast i can possibly do like i'm trying

to get all the way up to alex cooper and i feel like with the gluck luck stuff like you could easily find a way to get that get that done um i don't think alex cooper is doing that much gluck luck content how much new material can you uh can you get from hawk to if you're having her on the show what can you ask her that she hasn't already answered this girl's voice and her demeanor is so like country and great that like i think that she could do some interviews and actually build a little bit of a following she just did a barstool one i think is she gonna have a longer shelf life than tiffany gomas uh maybe gomas gomas had the air of mystery about what happened whereas we know that she this girl just spits on that she has ascended quicker than

gomas i think no not i think definitely i've seen a lot of tweets that just say i'm assembling a This girl just spits on that. She has ascended quicker than Gomas, I think. No, not I think. Definitely. I've seen a lot of tweets that just say, I'm assembling a team. And it's just those two and two other very online people. Edmonton. Edmonton girl. Yep.

Yep. Yep. Doing Playboy. From what I've heard, haven't seen. Out of respect. Yeah. I think she's adorable. Hug to a girl. Have you DM'd?

No. No. Hit it with the Mario. You dropped this quick. I mean mean i just think she's cute like not in like a oh she's fine but like a her person she's quirky and cute you know i like her cute accent well i'm gonna i'm gonna segue this into our next segment by asking a question uh how fast would we have had a hawk to a 24 shirt up if we were at grand x oh my god yeah it would have happened like i already saw them out there like uh how fast would we have had a hawk to a 24 shirt up if we were at grand x

oh my god yeah it would have happened like i already saw them out there like you know seconds after she did it but like we would have definitely had hawk to a merch going like crazy i wonder who determined like who the first was to put that out there in that like because you got to be right on the spelling like i don't know if i would have done hawk tua and spelt it like that it's a very it's not an easy thing to like phonetically put out it's like that sound because it's not you know it's not a prototypical if aj hawk and tua were teammates yeah like their social media team would have had the easiest road to virality. I would have spelled it H-O-C-K, like hawking a loogie. I like that. I like that.

Hawk to a. Yeah. I like that. Other one is famously a bird. Bird of prey. I'm sorry, a predator. She's a little bird. She is a little bird.

That's true. If she was on the debate stage with these two would it have been more watchable did you guys watch the debate some of it i had made it about 15 minutes and i realized what was happening and i just i felt uncomfortable and kind of sad it was 95 just like this is really sad and uncomfortable and five percent hilarious it was jarringly it was jarringly uh just evident of everything that was happening in front of you. It was like, oh, okay. So we have Biden just being older than we all realized he was.

We all realized he was old as hell. But did we know that he was borderline incapable? He trailed off numerous times. Man, someone posted a side-by-side video of Bideniden debating last time around four years ago and then the one from the other night and it's shocking well you remember like they did this with w and they did with obama but it would be like they'd show them like a picture of them when they entered office and then like them late in like their second term or whatever and it was always just like oh yeah look how they've aged and their hair is gray now yeah it's like man what you think was gonna happen

biden didn't like physically look that different from four years ago, but the way he talks is it's night and day. It's really sad. Well, it's not a good endorsement for either candidate when the most life that they show the entire debate is when they start talking about their handicaps, like their golf handicaps. It was just like, okay. I had just turned it off,

like just turned it off because I didn't really want to spend my entire night watching just these two old men argue. And so I turned on Love Island and checked my phone and immediately saw that they had been talking golf. And I was like, okay, well, I'm going back in. I went back in for that too. Both – okay, just to be clear, both of them lie about their handicap, right? I don't think either of them has recorded a score in a very long time i don't think that i don't think they've recorded a genuine score in over a decade okay here's a question that's that's been on my mind for so long is trump actually a good golfer i

think he's probably actually good but i don't think he's like if he his swing is atrocious yeah like it's he's still an old man and he's like, as he said, Dylan, he's won numerous club championships. Not senior club championships, Dylan. Regular club championships. But did he actually – that's the thing. He takes it backward, but like he gets it into position and hits the ball. Like it's not bad. It's a good old man swing.

I just don't believe that he's winning every club championship. There's no way. It's such a Kim Jong-un thing to do. But for Biden to say he got down to a six handicap – When he was VP. that he's winning every club championship there's no way it's such a kim jong-un thing to do but for biden to say he got down to a six handicap when he was vp there's but he's very he said when he was vp got down to a six but again why should i like our vice president should not be peaking their handicap at you think that during their vice presidency there's a reason why like after my second kid i i jumped up like to a 12. Yeah. Like I've gotten, yeah.

You know, I feel like once you get into the White House in any capacity, like you shouldn't play better. But do you get more vacation because you're in a more high pressure job? It's fair. Is that how you justify it? Yeah. I need this, honey. Dr. Jill. My buddy immediately made the point.

He goes, that's the biggest reaction that Trump has given him all night when Biden said that he got down to a six point set. He was he was like are you kidding me he was absolutely disgusted it was something that he wanted to talk about it it just shows that no matter what if you put two guys in a room and they decide to argue with each other it's all going to come down to a pissing contest about like who can hit the ball further whose handicap is lower he said he can't hit the ball 50 yards and like he probably can't he's very old man but now there's been a bunch of videos coming out of biden on the course and like there's to be fair there's been a lot of trump videos of him on the course too playing like shit but like

no the my just the only thing i really i really enjoyed was him him not only saying like i've seen your swing it was i've seen your swing I know your swing. I know your swing. I know it. I've studied your swing and it is not good. No, I don't believe it. Like that is such a – that's something that gets tossed and like it's group text argument over like somebody who's maybe like fudging their handicap. Like sandbagging? My father-in-law went on a bad run of playing. If he heard this, he might kill me.

But he was on a bad run. He just wasn't playing well. And he got an email from Jin saying that it was getting to be a member guest season and they thought he was tanking his handicap. And so they stopped his handicap from moving up. No. Yes. Shut up. He was like, it was such a defeating email to get.

I didn't know they did that. I didn't know they did that either. He was like, I really had to reassess what was going on wow i'd be pretty upset if i got an email from jen saying that uh we think you're tanking i'd probably pull a dylan and just maybe abandon the game of golf altogether just go for virtual golf it's a tough one so did they not have golden tea and sluggers did we they did have one did you play um how'd the batting cage go it was fine i don't feel like i embarrassed myself i didn't exactly you know tee off on these pitches he tried to have that griffey swag he did he knew he was on camera i was i was

wearing boots too which is not great it was you gotta have that built-in excuse that's why i was a slick surface if you're wearing like leather bottom shoes what uh they don't wear boots in the midwest i know what uh what was the speed oh it wasn't fast it was probably 60 probably 60 65 something like that yeah okay there's it was don't meet up there but it was very inconsistent too some of them are really high if i've been in there would have gone down different yeah why didn't you get in there nobody invited me they were like dude we we don't have any approved email there, it would have gone down different. Yeah. Why didn't you get in there? Nobody invited me. They were like, dude, we don't have any approved email. I threw down like 10 straight bunts.

The Golden Tee was an older machine. Well, it was just slapping singles. I couldn't check in. Someone left a game open, so I played one hole in someone else's game. They were like 25 over or something. I was like, oh, I'm going to play. What a fucking dumbass. Was that Randy's game? Probably.

Did you get him back down? I birdied a hole and that was and that was that were the listeners watching you it's like kj and one other person okay yeah hey shout out to kj and ricky yeah i want to give a special shout out to both those as well like i i don't get to see those two nearly enough we had actually never met ricky in person ricky was great uh hey ricky uh congrats on passing the vibe check what a chill dude that's a cool dude man yeah you know it's it's tough to like meet it's tough to meet us and then like go to dinner with us um because it's a lot and he uh is we're idiots you did the baba reba dinner and you know it could that didn't get out of control but it could have like it was on the cusp of like being an out of control thing and and they they handled themselves by quite well and kj you know

kj was great to say about kj that hasn't been said he was great kj ordered a uh he had the clutch move of ordering a pizza at happy hour, of which I ate a lot of. That pizza at that random fucking restaurant down the street from Muggsy was delightful. Did you snag a piece of that? No, it looked good. You got pepperoni and pepperoncinis. Oh, what was that place, Tarantino? I don't know.

We just walked up to it and sat down on wet chairs. Then Randy disappeared. He's going out with his real friends. Yeah, Randy's like, I'm going out. I go i'm gonna go meet up that's when randy really does his work going out to my serbian friends serbians as he put it his work's not mine serbian friends who are from indiana and speak perfect you know no i don't think they've ever been to serbia i love that can you verify that claim have they been to ser You can't call them Serbian friends when they're just from the Midwest All their parents are from Serbia

And have thick accents They're just the first generation Serbians And they're like very very culturally do like Summer cast in Serbian Give me a Serbian accent Yo Mr. David come come come here Fuck yeah They enlightened me that the lambs that they roast

are not old. They're quite young. Oh. Yeah. Little lambs. Two, maybe three months. Mary had a little lamb, huh? Yep, and we spit-roasted that bitch.

Damn. Not Mary. They were really nice guys. I don't mean to take anything away from them, but presenting them as my Serbian friends is just a little misleading. We had just started. We just talked about them being Serbians.

Yeah. Let's talk about BetterHelp. Today's show is sponsored by our friends over at BetterHelp. We've been pretty upfront and honest about our relationship with therapy. I enjoy therapy so much. I kind of use it as a touch and go kind of thing. I haven't actually had a session in a little bit. That's because I haven't needed it lately.

But therapy is always something that I'm willing to turn to and it's always an option that I think about. Because sometimes in life you're just faced with tough choices and the path forward is not always clear, whether it's work, whether it's personal life, combination of the two. Whatever it could be, it's just a lot easier to get things off your chest and to talk to someone about it. And that's why we've partnered up with BetterHelp. I mean, I've benefited from therapy in the past. And if you're thinking of starting therapy, it's time to give BetterHelp a try. It's entirely online. It's designed to be convenient, flexible, and suited to your schedule. All you have to do is fill out a brief questionnaire to get matched with a licensed therapist, and you can switch anytime for no additional charge. Let therapy be your map with BetterHelp.

I didn't preface Dylan with this because I found it right before we started recording um but anytime you see radioactive rhinos on the tl you kind of got to dip in a little bit is that why that one was carried off by the helicopter whatever it was dude that's a straight up movie you see that yeah dude that thing was just chilling it was fun like how nice would it be to just get like someone to attach that to you and just whisk you away how confused was that rhino when he's getting carried away by a chopper like what does it sound what does he sound like as he starts getting lifted up had to be unconscious what do rhinos sound like

they just grunt and shit hey dylan they speak english no i was thinking of rhino our friend rhino that's good that's good i like south african scientists on tuesday injected radioactive material into live rhino horns to make them easier to detect at border posts in a pioneering project aimed at curbing poaching um so this is just for like identification purposes oh i kind of want them to grow like horns out of their back and stuff i kind of want them to look like that's a scary creature i want them to look like a brontosaurus uh it's already pretty dino like you know dylan do you have any takes about how you could like wrestle a rhino or wrangle one um here we go they're pretty uh gentle giants aren't they they don't think they're not aggressive

are they well hippos are sneaky aggressive as hell i don't even think it's sneaky i think they'll just straight fuck you up no but like people look at hippos and they're like oh they're all round and fat they're cute no rhino is crush your skull in two seconds i think a rhino is a friendly version of the sometimes i'll just vibe out and watch uh hippos eat watermelons for like an hour yeah it's pretty cool they crush those things it's kind of that's my mental health that's my uh therapy they swim very fast turns out too yeah can i read you guys some facts about rhinos that you might not have known yes there are five species of rhinoceros you guys want to take a stab at any of these species and what they are white rhino is one of them got it black rhino got it uh That's all I know. They have the Indian rhino.

Okay. They have the Havan rhino. I don't know. And the Sumatran rhino. Which is the one that there are like three left of? I don't know. Most. And like they're protected like around the clock by like armed security.

That's that northern white. Oh, for real? Mm-hmm. Okay. You like that south of the border white though, right? I don't know what that means. They can range from 1,000 to 5,000 pounds. That's that northern white. Oh, for real? Mm-hmm. Okay. You like that south of the border white, though, right? I don't know what that means. They can range from 1,000 to 5,000 pounds. That's pretty big.

That's pretty large. That's a big range. They have two horns on their snouts, except the Indian rhino, which typically only has one horn, and rhino's horns are made of keratin, the same material as human hair and nails. How about that? So do they trim them? I don't think so. Do they get it like done

do they have like a little like the rhino salon yeah do they have like a little rhino that walks around with a little kit and like does their i don't know for sure but i would guess that no they yeah okay they've got bigger issues like what extinction people who just cut off their horns to sell them for wellness yeah yeah everyone's trying to fuck with rhinos all the time leave them alone man why do they want why do they fuck why are they fucking with rhinos though i think it's the horn it's the horn but like what do they do with the horn sell them on the black market they have unproven powerful medicinal properties at one point they were more expensive than cocaine in vietnam it's kind of a little fun

fact that i just knew i don't read i don't really get the feeling that cocaine is that expensive in vietnam don't get caught with cocaine in vietnam why i feel like it's not a good punishment i mean it's a felony here you can imagine vietnam probably yeah i get i'm not familiar with their laws there yeah Well, he's talking directly to you. I am. This is more of like a me and you thing. I'm not going to Vietnam nor am I going to do coke.

Imagine if they injected the rhino with like a bunch of radioactive shit in his nose and he just saw a pile of cocaine. He's doing that cocaine. They're just dusting it.

It's like, what does it matter at this point? I have radioactive shit in my snout. He's just downstairs at Boss Bar just going crazy. Just going nuts

with a bunch of Irish dudes. There's nothing that bouncer can do. How pissed would it be if you're in the stall with your like three boys and this rhino comes up he's like dude can i get in that bag oh you're not seeing that bag again that bag's gone you're like dude you can't even fit in the stall you're being mega fucking sus right now too big for those stalls they're right like the rhino's like like every 25 minutes like hey you got that bag got that bag yeah dude you took the fucking bag where's the bag you did it all where's the bag can i hit your pendulum in bro he said hey let's run back to the hotel real quick

let's just go real quick this is a rhino doing cocaine that we're talking about here hey we gotta go let's go back let's just go back uh let's go back i got my bluetooth speaker we'll hook it up i'll get up to my phone listen to zach brian i won't talk to you about this business idea i got this rhino's doing a lot. Radioactive rhino horns. An annoying rhino. No, it's pretty good. It's pretty good.

Dude, I'll cut my own rhino horn off. Let's get the fuck out of here. This boy's dead anyway. Dude, what if we sold my rhino horn right now for another bag? That's so stupid. Dylan, I'd like you to answer for something. Oh, what'd I do? Why did Texas join the SEC with a pit bull concert?

I'd be confused about that myself i don't know i know he's a big draw for a lot of people but it seems weird for a for texas yeah he doesn't scream sec this isn't miami yeah like just trying to put on a show again i have no problem with it i just don't quite understand oh i'm not one to like rain on a on a pitbull concert who's the who's the ideal university of texas musician to get pat green you think they would get some kind of country artist pat green's not big enough i mean after a and m just just did george straight that would have been perfect for a free campus performance what's george straight really gonna stop playing shows not saying he needs to but he's he's been every five years my last show this is it and it's never his last show

he's doing bigger shows does he get radio play these days like his new songs i don't know i don't think so i saw him complaining that he wouldn't get played on the radio it's like my brother you're doing okay hold on you've got many number one 50 over 50 like an old an old man talking about how they're not how they're being deplatformed kind of yeah i don't know why why they got oh well uh well apparently it was a nightmare really apparently it was real busy on that campus you don't you don't just have pitbull out there not expected to get out of control the the crowd shots that i saw it was an impressive turnout they sent they sent like a notification on the citizen app being like there's a possible stampede situation of people it was rhinos never yeah it's a bunch of rhinos that had just been injected with pink cocaine and will was popping out of their butt

I feel like I feel like the those things didn't happen no I was at home with my kids I didn't actually go to the pitbull concert really hot on a really hot day too the rhino snorted me just will got sucked up with the nostril yeah he snorted me and pooped me out bro you got that bag of will where's that will bag in this joke will's the cocaine right we're still doing that okay here we are this is me getting snorted up okay dude just straight to the, right into that little rhino septum. Wow. Right into that little sinus cavity. Hey, was it during the day?

It was all day long. That's a terrible idea. You can't do that. I hope it's free water. Crap. Hey, people are excited, man. Knowing Texas, they were probably selling for like $8 a bottle. Dude, I watched some of the Schlossnagel interview.

Which one? He was just glazing Chris Del Conte. Oh, I saw some of that too. Glazing our man up. Hey, shout out to Chris Del Conte. Who was it? Yeah. Noted caller.

Dude, there's too many backers to name. I'm trying to think who they should have gotten instead of Pitbull. It should have been country music. You're right. Yeah. But who? I mean, you can't get George Strait. Travis Tritt.

Yeah, figuring out Travis Tritt. I'm kind of surprised that there aren't any major country acts that went to UT and got super famous. Unless there's someone I'm just totally blanking on. Went to UT? Yeah. They should have got Glenn Powell up there just to like- Take his shirt off?

Just be like, hey, what's up, man? We're going to the SEC. And they're like, all right, what else you got, Glenn? He'senn he's like i'm not you got three hours to fill here glenn what else you guys seen my latest movie hit man you should check out this other one i did like five or six years ago maybe eight it's about baseball but not really but it's not it's a baseball movie but it's about the team it's not really a not really a baseball movie per se. You're such a bitch for not liking that movie. He's Mr. World War I. You really are, man. You just don't, that's your thing.

You don't like the camaraderie of the team. You're a selfish player. You're not a locker room guy. There wasn't much camaraderie. You're A-Rod. You're the A-Rod of this thing. I heard Dylan requested to be DH in high school because he didn't want to work out with the rest of the team and stuff.

He just wanted to hit dingers and not talk to anybody i was moved to dh after i dropped a crucial fly ball on the outfield which i lost in the light was part of you was part of you like kind of relieved that you only had to worry about hitting it was fun but i i felt like i was not being utilized like man all right but if you were like big poppy and you were just dh for like years on end that would be great no it's it's a good job if you can get it. You don't have to worry about anything in the field. You're just hitting. That's it, man.

Dude, I'm more of a designated drinker. First team all district. I'm first team all fucking drinking. First team all district. You hear this fucker is drinking. First team. No Vortex bottles in Chicago. Didn't see a single one.

Oh, did talk to somebody about that. Did you talk to that listener? Nah. He said he thought he might be able to find you one. He procured me one? I don't know his name. I would like to get more than one so I can drink one and have one that I can keep forever. I also think that there's a way that I could figure out like a funnel situation where I

could just start pouring beers into my vortex bottle what if they what if uh the rhino trade they had to replace you could take the horn of the rhino but you had to replace it with a vortex bottle okay so you have vortex rhino do you have to replace it like your indiana jones like like he's putting the thing back on um yeah, yeah, you do. Have you seen the video of Katie Ledecky swimming in the pool with a glass of water on her head? No. It's one of the most amazing physical feats I've ever seen in my entire life.

She gets in the pool, puts a glass of water on top of her head, and then just does freestyle to the end of the pool and the glass never moves. She wins her races by like 30 seconds. She's unbelievable. One of the goats of all time. Absolutely.

One of the goats of all time. You hear what I'm saying? one of the goats of all time absolutely a goat of all one of the goats of all time you're saying one of the goats of all time where do i find this video the water and hard to say probably internet dude she's a goaded all-time swimmer yeah i mean where does swimming rank for you guys in the olympics you know what if you have a name like phelps or ledecky i'm in it's up there i'm not gonna watch a bunch of no names i like that the relay teams actively talk shit to each other like i like that they hate each other it makes it so much better to watch it helps that us is usually really good at the swimming it does it does yeah yeah oh dave's dave's watching live right a lot of longhorns on

penjamin no a penjamin randy will you explain this to the olds in the room? A penjamin is just simply just a vape pen. Usually a weed one. You just call it the penjamin. Okay. People have been calling it the penjamin. Hey, people in Chicago, downtown specifically, a lot of just outdoor weed smoking. Hey, you really...

Smoking so much weed. Dave, it's not just that, though. The dispensaries reeked on the streets. Like, if you stood in front of one, it was like you got a contact high. It was amazing. I was very impressed. I didn't know weed was legal in Illinois.

Very much so, apparently. Were you bummed we didn't see Michael Jordan? I really didn't have any plans on seeing Michael Jordan. I thought we were going to see Mike. No, I'd rather see Urlacher at this point. He was on every billboard. He was. Shout out to his hairline.

Well, this is an impressive video. I recommend. You're welcome. This video from 2020. Yeah, that's all. All right. That's all she wrote. What a time.

Thank you to everyone who came out to Chicago. You guys are awesome. We love you and we appreciate you. Can I make a bold claim? I think this was the most enjoyable meetup we've ever had. Solid group of people. It was the appropriate amount of people. The vibe was right.

Air conditioning. It was just a great time. Can't wait to do it again. New York, you're in our crosshairs. We'll be in touch about that soon. Yes, we will. Bye. Thank you.
