Although I'm still fading here in the Early Bird CBD studios in Austin, Texas. You write that thing out much longer than Will does, by the way. You know, it's just hard not to. Yeah. It's so good.

It's a fire beat. It is a fire beat. Shout out Beat Geeks. I remind everybody this is coming to you from the Early Bird CBD studio here in Austin, Texas. Uh-huh. I said that. No, you didn't i did barrett did he he did he did oh how did i miss that yeah he dropped your heads up your ass

jeb that's that's fair fair to say hey who's uh we have another voice here who's very unique and hilarious laugh is that it sounds like barrett dudley dudley dj duds what's up barrett good morning you're filling in for will yeah yeah it's uh vacation will has this thing going on so it's just uh working man barrett here he's on one too he's doing content up there is he what kind of content is he doing photographic he's he's taking you know like artistic pictures of golf courses and food and people and people uh you know that's he's uh i've been noticing that and i i i was on my uh my fantasy football live draft weekend this past weekend oh how's your team looking man my it's you know i'm going to the ship this year no question uh but uh

i i thought to myself like what if i just started doing like artistic portrait photography of my bros here on this fantasy football weekend trip. Like how would they, how would they react or respond to that? He, uh, yeah, he's,

I've never seen anyone. He's good at it. He's really good. No, absolutely. Yeah. I, yeah.

I'm very jealous of the, uh, of the skill. Cause my photos never look like that. No, I go play golf and I just, uh, you know, I, I don't think like, how can I capture this and make it look like that. No, I go play golf and I just, you know,

I don't think like, how can I capture this and make it look like it's a postcard? I just play golf and have fun. He's good at capturing candid moments. Yeah. Like, I don't know, like a nice, a little laugh to yourself after you take a sip of your rosé cider.

Yeah. Or something. Exactly right. Like you thinking take a sip of your uh rose cider yeah or something exactly right like you thinking about a moment from your childhood and he just happens to get like the perfect moment in portrait mode he could probably start a side gig it's just like a candid wedding photo iphone wedding photographer then he'll snap like a like a dope relish tray and make it look like it's you know from yeah yeah from a magazine absolutely There's nothing doper than a relish tray. Yeah, he's big on that. Anyway.

Hey, speaking of that hot beat from Beat Geeks, it's got a succession tone to it. Have you all talked about that? I'll pull the curtain back. When I hit up my boy Norris for this beat, I kind of told him this is a year ago or so, and I was like, we're kind of looking for a little succession-y. Okay, it's got the vibe.

It's got the vibe. True. Those little tinkling keys. Yeah. Succession has the hardest beat in the game. Tinkling the ivory? It's pretty dope. We're going to talk about that.

We all watched this episode, right? Yeah. That'll be near the end of the show here. Okay. More middle. Dylan, you need to keep us on schedule and on point here, because you know me. I'll do this.

I mean, keep it moving, the little index fingers in a circular motion. That's what Micah used to do. Let's move on. It used to drive me up the wall. Yeah. When we would be in the middle of what I thought was comedy gold and he would wave us on, I'd be like, dude. Micah, shut the fuck up.

No, dude. We're doing content in here. Well, what really drove him crazy was when we'd go through the whole rundown and then the last five minutes we'd just bullshit for a little bit just to kill time yeah we started to do it just get under his his skin oh yeah he'd be like all right guys it's we're done here he's a very he tries to be efficient he tried to be efficient and we would just so part of that was just us fucking with him it was just us playing like keep away yeah like just tossing it over his head like what are you gonna do cut it on us cut the mics i guess he could have without i've been fucked up i watched uh i watched cage fights with him this weekend uh with micah also

with dan jack hammer he is how he's known to most right and then jay bone jared boris low we watched uh we watched the ufc car 241 at little woodrow's the most crowded i've ever seen that bar all dudes a few girlfriends few girlfriends who got dragged up there. It was the smelliest I've ever seen. Was this a pay-per-view event? UFC 241. And then also you had the combination of that with Cowboys preseason. But it wasn't pay-per-view?

It was pay-per-view. They show them up there. That's why it was so crowded then, I guess. And it was just testosterone and just body odor. It was amazing. There's man meat everywhere. Just man meat. Sweat.

Everybody had that glisten on their face. There was, I can't remember who McGregor was fighting but it was one of the big, big McGregor fights. Like,

early McGregor. Not after he got his, it was not after he got his ass beat by Nate Diaz. It was before that. It was a big fight. And we went to Fado Irish Pub to watch this fight.

Oh, boy. And I don't think I've ever been so nervous about getting in a fight in my entire life. Really? Because it was just packed with dudes who were just itching to body you up. The kind of guy you don't want to bump into at a bar on a regular day.

Yes, absolutely. And this is like he's extra want to bump into at a bar on a regular day. Yes. And this is like he's extra teed up when McGregor's on the screen. It's funny because Micah, I don't know, Micah runs in these circles now. You know, he did his little exhibition. So he's kind of a little bit dialed into the jujitsu community. Apparently there were multiple jujitsu clubs doing their watches, watch parties at Woodrow's. So there's just certified killers all over the place.

So me, like normally I try to walk around like I'm, you know, I blow myself up. And like I was like meek. I was like head down looking at the ground like, dude, just don't take any L's. It was fun though. Great card. Shout out Nate Diaz.

Anybody, you see any of that? No. Nate Diaz is so fucking sick. I love that dude. I just saw Nate Diaz's post-fight interview. Did he win a fight? He did. He did.

First fight since the second Conor fight. And he... Like three years or something? Yeah. He's just a perennial shit talker. Yeah. And just doesn't give a fuck. And he was...

It is, you know, his open workout they do where you go out there and hit pads and stuff. Instead of hitting pads or doing any type of physical activity, he just walked around and smoked what was apparently a CBD strain of a joint. But he just walked around smoking. So everybody's like, he just lit up a joint. He's just walking around looking at the cameras and looking at the crowd. Like, what the fuck is this?

It's great. Love that dude. Barry, what have you been up to, man? Oh, not too much. Still doing podcasting i'm working full-time for a company based out of austin called howler brothers which makes great yeah surfing and fishing very familiar lifestyle apparel uh and uh yeah pushing a new whip i see out there pushing a new whip yeah you're You're looking up for Barrett. Seriously. He's rocking that Hermanos hat. The year of Barrett.

It's a, I mean, I, I didn't realize that I had like a grind boy inside of me, but now it's my, my, my grind boy has, has really started to, uh,

to shine here in 2019. Yeah. I think a lot of former grandexians are, uh, grand, grandexials as we sometimes called ourselves are finding themselves in this, in this, like, wow, I have to actually, you know. Yeah, yeah. Get like a real.

Work hard. I've got to put hours in now. You know, if you don't work, you don't eat, you don't grind, you don't shine. That's true. That is what they say. No offense or buts. You've got to keep that in mind, Dylan. Yeah.

Just so you know. Do you want to announce where you're doing the Club Cool podcast? Because I think we have some breaking news here. It is breaking news. They're a partnership. We've joined hands, Club Cool and Washed Media. Hell yes. Do we have a clap track on that?

I need fanfare or hype horns. Hype horns would be ideal. You want me to just hit a miscellaneous one? You want me to just do something wild? Just go fucking local. What if you get a clown hawk? Good. Dude, just push a button. I said forget about it oh shit it's paul walker r.i.p perfect r.i.p man there's a big fast and furious guy huge fast and furious it works out well yeah dude yeah hey you know what i found out about fast and furious we'll get to the

club cool stuff in a minute so tyrese he doesn't he's beefing with The Rock yeah uh-huh and it is Vin Diesel beefing with The Rock too or they just don't like each other what's the story I I think that the I think the you know the the core of that beef is that all those guys kind of feel like The Rock swooped in and stole the franchise. He definitely did. Sort of. Because he's The Rock. And now he's the one getting these big spinoffs and everything like that.

And I think they're all a little bit salty about that. Okay. My take on that is that that's stupid because if what the franchise needed to stay alive and keep pumping out numbers 8, 9, 10, and beyond was a little energy boost from the rock. And those guys should be like kissing his feet because they still get paid Buku bucks rising tide for coming back on the, on all the sequels. Yeah.

Which they get to be a part of. I agree. I just, I was kind of bummed that I'm not into this franchise because now that I know that there's like infighting and there's beefs and stuff, I'm like, and you know, certain people can't film their their stuff on the same day as other people because you know they don't want to cross paths like i wish i was in on this more paul walker is spinning his grave man it's all this beef going on yeah it's like

they're forgetting that family it's the most important thing forget about it yeah forget about the beef huh drop the beef it's too bad yeah but but the club club cool i'm i'm excited we should probably go back to that huge huge news we're very excited for it it is very exciting club cool uh it had some had some ad deals booked on it through uh you know still through grand x for a little while and then we've kind of just been doing our own thing for, uh, for a month or two here. And I was, uh, I was,

I wanted to, I was hopeful that we could orchestrate exactly what happened and, and bring it under the umbrella and, and work and work together. And we got it done. So we need, we need everybody at home to do two things. Subscribe to club.

Cool. Where can they find this? Is that like the iTunes stuff? Is that right? Anywhere that you're listening to Circling Back, you can also find the Club Cool podcast. Just search for it, Club Cool. Mash that subscribe button.

You have to mash it. And then also five stars. Give it five stars. Give it five. And a couple nice words about it. Tell them Dave sent you. And if you haven't listened to it yet, start listening. Oh,

for sure. What's it about real quick for the people who don't, I think most people do. Yeah. I mean, our, our, my,

the elevator pitch is that we made it the intersection of style and pop culture. Yes. And that is that, that pretty much encompasses what we talk about. But just for an example, like last week, we talked about the Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth split.

That's a tough one. Celeb relationships in general hate to see it we I know you really do uh we talked about A$AP Rocky getting home from Sweden putting that to bed and then uh and then we touched on some style stuff too we talked about a couple fall trends that we're seeing we talked about um we talked about like a new converse drop so we we like to hit on both sides of that and occasionally we'll throw in other stuff like movies or tv or restaurants or just uh you know the finer things in life really back on our previous podcast that we used to do barrett before he was even you

know dicking around with club cool he would come on and just pretty much roast us like what do you guys you guys are dressing like trash and just kind of keep us up to date on all the fits those are some of the more fun episodes. People love them. Yeah, they did. Um, and they were very helpful for us.

I mean, Barry pretty much told me to my face that my gene game was trash. They changed my life. Honestly, pretty much all of us that, yeah, he's probably kindest to will, uh,

in that department and the whole apparel department. And that's probably deserving. We'll just wear pajamas for an athleisure for the most part so it's true i mean that original the very first episode that i ever appeared on on touching base was that was pre-man outfitters as well so i feel like i i feel like we really feel like all you guys and you know the grandexians in general just kind of like raised the bar a little bit for themselves as all of us got a little bit more of a taste of...

Sure. New brands. Of some of those new brands. Dude, that's where I first heard about your new employer, Howell Brothers. Yeah, yeah. I love that hat you've been rocking. It's a good hat.

It's a very good hat, yeah. And this is non-spawn. This is all's a very good hat yeah this is non-spawn this is all non-spawn non-spawn and while i'm here plugging their fall stuff actually drops tomorrow their fall line that's huge so i would go check that out because there's a lot of cool looking stuff okay yeah i love it fall can't come soon enough that was said multiple times on saturday um because you're with jackhammer because i was with the jackhammer yeah so hey if you guys like this fun and easy banter we do patreon patreon.com circling back podcast it's five dollars get a weekly listener voicemail episode every single week or you can get optimized we get a ten dollar

optimized here it gets you that episode it gets you bachelor content it gets you other stuff we're about to be doing some wild one-offs i'm very excited about it things are going to be looking really good for the optimized looking up really good yeah really up um okay y'all want to uh man i don't want to jump right into this song restore but we can't hear about the sad news from the weekend? We have to eulogize the great, the Texas legend, Cedric Benson. Yeah, former Texas running back Cedric Benson also played for, he was a first-round pick of the Bears, played for the Bengals as well. Midland Lee Rebel.

I think he played for the Packers for a minute too. He did. Yeah, he passed away in a motorcycle accident in Austin over the weekend. On 22-22, I believe, is where it happened. Yeah. Sad stuff, man. 36. cycle accident in austin over the weekend on 22 22 i believe is where it happened yeah uh sad stuff man 36 my first memory of him we're not we don't need to make this like a big like somber segment but i watched him play uh high school state championship in austin against west lake high school because he was like you know five star kid he was going to texas he was like the man he was the uh i would say he's the biggest like legend.

Like if you were in high school back then, like you always heard about this dude at Midland. So he won three state championships. Yeah. And those three state championship games, he had a total of 15 touchdowns. I'll just also say that he went to a high school, Midland Lee.

He brought them back to back to back state championships. Yep. Those are the only state championships in the school's history really so it's not like this is like a powerhouse high school football team that wins them on the reg like they won them because cedric benton was that good keep in mind midland is west texas yeah very west like this isn't like some suburb of dallas or houston or austin it's way the fuck out there. He's second on the all-time rushing list at UT behind Ricky Williams. He, I mean, crazy to think, like when I was just like looking back at, you know,

his tape basically, number four, number four overall. Yeah. That's where Zeke got drafted. Doak Walker, award winner. You know, like he was a huge, huge deal. He was a stud. Had his best years with the bangles yeah went to the playoffs a few times and then he was kind of a fixture around austin i was

just talking to dave off mike before we started the pod that i saw him out at our old office park a couple of times like hitting up one of those supplement or oh really doing deals or meeting up with uh with a couple of those supplement companies that were out there. Yeah, I spent a lot of time on Lake Travis and Lake Austin. Yeah. Yeah, my stepbrother actually was out on the lake one time on Lake Austin and said, rolls up on a jet ski. He's like, hey, I want to try wakeboarding. They're like, yeah, you're Cedric Benson.

Let's go. And they showed him how to get in the bindings and all that and how to get up. Yeah, too bad. Damn, that's a great story. Sucks to lose a legend. I want to try wakeboarding. Yeah, and of course, it's Cedric Benson.

Did he get up? Was he able to pop himself up? I don't know if he ever got up. I don't know if he did, actually. I don't think he did. Okay. Because they were like, man, this great athlete can't even get up on a wakeboard. But it's a learned skill.

So I think it was my junior year, Duncanville, who I talk about quite often, like one of our first playoff matchups was against Midland Lee. And this is in like 2000 or 2001. And I had a bunch of friends who played football. And they were like, yeah, this Cedric Benson guy's legit. And, you know, we'd heard about him.

You know, he was on the cover of Dave Campbell's. And you knew this guy was a beast. But to me, you know, me and my buddies who didn't play, we were just talking shit. We were being cocky. So we're walking through the halls of Texas Stadium in Irving. So that's where they played some of the playoff games back then. And we're yelling, like, Cedric who?

We're yelling all this shit. And then he proceeds to just absolutely run through Duncanville yeah like it was a man amongst boys and like Duncanville had a pretty good team and they also had Eric Winston on that team yeah I was gonna say who is a monster in his own right played at Miami I believe he was a tight end for the middle middle lead team because I was watching him like who the fuck is this guy that's six seven out here just towering over these little white kids from Westlake it was Eric Winston I had a good buddy who played on the line who was having a lineup against him yeah and he was getting just demolished by Eric Winston the entire game yeah but yeah Cedric Benson Eric Winston but yeah RIP Cedric

dude I mean he was I wasn't even a Texas fan and I was just like dude this guy's such a monster he was a monster Dave you didn't play football out there at Devo? No, I quit playing freshman year. Also, I just didn't have the size or the skill. Cedric Benson, also a great baseball player. A lot of people didn't know that about him. Yeah, that's right. That's right.

Really? Yeah. I believe he was actually drafted. Yeah, now that you say that, I feel like I remember this. Why do I feel like that's underreported. Could have been a two-way guy. Ricky Williams, that's what they had in common. They were both drafted by MLB teams.

I didn't know that about Ricky Williams. I don't think I did either. He was drafted by the Phillies, yeah. Interesting. Wow. Okay. Speaking of that, did you watch any Kyler the other night? No, but I heard he struggled.

Yeah, didn't look great. Yeah. Raiders. Something with his clap snap, it's not working? Yeah, there's... He's got to stop clapping is what they're saying. Why? Because that's college shit.

But it works, right? How's it different than saying hut? I don't think a single NFL... Because, like, I don't know. I didn't actually read the article that I saw. I just saw a headline that was like, Kyler has to stop clapping. I don't think a single NFL, because like, I don't know. I didn't actually read the article that I saw. I just saw a headline that was like, Kyler has to stop clapping. I don't know. I think it's more of a tip than the Hutts are.

I mean, I think a lot of teams will go to the silent snap just to throw him off. Maybe. I think he'll be fine. I did have this thought, like, what if he just falls on his face three years, NFL, then just says, I'm going to go play baseball. Like, that's pretty much in the realm of possibility. Oh, absolutely. Yeah.

That's a nice fallback plan. So, yeah. That's all we have to say about that. I think so, too. Is Antonio Brown just, just like completely losing his mind is he losing his cabeza i mean we we kind of saw this coming a little bit right like yeah i guess i underestimated his uh weirdness yeah he's just an absolute prima donna well because he yeah he he he had this reputation like on the early days when he was like awesome for the Steelers.

He was like one of the guys that like, he didn't say shit. He was a great teammate by all accounts. And then he reached superstar status. And then he reached superstar status and like just went full Terrell Owens basically. What is it with receivers that makes them so eccentric?

It's like T.O., Antonio Brown. Yeah. There's a million examples. Yeah, there's million examples yeah there's guys that are just uh oh des bryant odell beckham jr these guys that are just total hotheads when they and it's the receiver position yeah all the time yep every time the the hot air balloon into camp was a big red flag for me ocho cinco didn't make any sense. Just seemed unnecessary. Just a waste of capital. You could have just gone in like a vehicle like an Uber. This is like the third year in a row he's made some kind of crazy grand entrance like that.

I do respect his ability to do content though. He's creating a lot of content. I mean hell we're not even a sports pod and we're sitting here talking about it. The helmet thing's weird though and it might drag out. I don't know. It's like you do the Masked Singer one time and suddenly you're fucking Brad't know it's like you do the mask singer one time and suddenly you're fucking brad pitt over here did he do the masked singer yeah

what is the mask what is the mask singer that was like a uh a summer reality program where it's a singing competition but all and celebrities were the ones competing, but they all were in these massive Japanese mascot-style costumes with big heads on and stuff. Does he have pipes? And so now he went out in week three or four, I think. Not great. Okay.

Nothing to write home about. Right. And yeah, so he was on that competition. T-Pain won the first season. Which seems unfair. T-Pain can straight sing. T-Pain can sing. That dude's tight.

If you haven't watched his NPR performance, what is it? Tiny Desk. Tiny Desk? Yeah. They used to call me Tiny Desk. Go watch it. It's on YouTube. It's on the YouTube stuff.

circling back redeem that offer okay dave you got some kind of story that you were you were tweeting about apparently if you follow me on twitter at d carter rough on twitter and snap at dc rough on instagram um i was doing some golf shoe shopping recently d Dylan, I think we talked about this. We did. Golf shoes are tough to purchase. You have to think about how many rounds am I going to play in shorts? How many rounds am I going to play in pants? Colors clashing, comfort, spikes. I've been a soft spike guy for a while. I've leaned towards the Nike. I did go with the Foot Joy last time around around but this time i was going to go back to nike they got some good styles did you pull

yesterday i did oh i did but one thing i noticed if you saw uh on my twitter at d carter rough i did come across the golf sandal the foot joy golf sandal which uh i've got a golf trip coming up and i'm trying they do like a last place has to do some kind of crazy shit thing and like i'm trying to get them to do like they uh last place team has to wear these and actually buy them and wear them seriously but it reminded me of a time when i was in lubbock and i played a money game that i got kind of coerced into by a friend of ours, who you know, Dylan. He was actually the partner at the law firm I went out to Lubbock for.

And it was him and two other guys, and we went out to Lake Ridge Country Club, played a money game. It was more than I normally play for. I mean, you know, a few hundred bucks on the line per person. And one of the guys that was playing on the other team was wearing the golf sandals. Barrett, knee-jerk reaction on the golf sandal.

Oh, man, they are really, really bad. Do you go socks with these or no? I don't think you do. This guy did not. I think the intent is to, you're such a guy that needs to let your feet breathe at all moments, no matter what you're doing know for those who don't know what you're doing who don't know what these look like they are they look like sandals but they

have actual like the soft golf spikes on the bottom of yeah yeah they're they're truly trash they're they're like the most normcore looking sandals too like john duda would wear socks with these and just wear them to the bar yeah they're like a bad brown leather they look very like 1998 type thing it's not a good look no uh so i get to the first tee and i see this dude wearing them and he's like this guy he's an older guy and he doesn't give a fuck he's kind of kind of wild and he's just wearing them and he plays like a plays it short off the tee but hits every fairway he's that kind of guy but he's the dude who will drop like a 50 foot putt in like he's a guy you don't want to play in a money game he's just he's just like that well we're playing and they get down pretty big to me and my buddy who I worked for

at the time and he he starts getting desperate and you know I'd never met this guy and he starts giving me these faux compliments so like I would go to tee off and I would take a couple practice swings and he'd go he'd stop me he'd go you know I just gotta tell you man you got the prettiest short little backswing and he would say it like that and he could tell that it was kind of getting in my head because I'm self-conscious about my backswing yeah and so you know I'm then that, I'm trying to reach a little further back, and I'm losing my timing. He started to, like, chirp me.

This guy's chirping me on, like, every tee box. You knew what he was doing, you're saying? I knew exactly what he was doing. He knew what he was doing? Oh, he knew what he was doing. Okay. And it worked for a couple holes, and then luckily, like, my playing partner picked me up.

So we ended up taking these, taking these guys for, for a decent amount of money and, still waiting to see that payout. Cause he never paid up and it's just, it's just, how much was it? Uh, I think I'm owed about,

it was like five 50, $5 and 50, $550, $550. He owed you five 50. Yeah. That's a hefty song. Yeah. What550. $550. He owed you $550. Yeah. That's a hefty sum. Yeah.

What were y'all playing? I don't even remember the format, dude. It was just two on two. I think it was honestly best ball. And it wasn't that big. It was like, okay, whatever. There might have been some business interests involved too. Like, just like, whatever.

It wasn't about me. I would have never have gone and played had, had, you know, our buddy, um, not drag me into it. I would have never gone.

Cause I don't play for that much money. Rarely. I mean, Lubbock was a great time. Oil, boom, everything. But like,

you figured a guy in sandals like that's going to pay his debts. He did not pay his debts. Yeah. Uh, but it's, it's just funny's just funny because I tweeted those out, and I posted them on my Instagram, and got a lot of feedback. A lot of people are calling me a coward

for not actually pulling trig on them, which I don't know. I feel like those people don't have my best interest at heart. They just want to see me do a bit, don't they? Well, but I got to say, I could see you doing this bit. Really? I could see you doing golf sandals bit. Does it not look like it would not have the support you need to sustain a golf swing?

No, it feels like it. Yeah. I feel like you'd be sliding around in those things. Yeah. What do you play golf in? What's your shoe of choice? So I've got a, it's like a Tiger Woods Nike from probably two years ago now. Okay.

But you also, one of the things you posted was those Air Max 1. And I really want a pair of those. You mentioned that you didn't think you could pull them off because of skinny ankles. Yeah. I think it's the opposite. I think skinny ankles works in that type of sneaker. Dylan, you've seen the Air Max, right? Yeah.

Explain the ankle thing to me i don't really follow why would why does that style expose your skinny ankles yeah the shoe okay when i look down at the shoe because i tried them on i hit balls in them and everything it looked too bulky to me around the foot and i already have like like I said, skinny ankles, skinny calves. It just, I felt like it was going to magnify and look silly. And me, I don't, you look good, play good. You got to feel good when you go step onto the tee. And while these are tight shoes, and if anybody else wants to buy them, I would absolutely say do it.

I mean, it was hard for me to turn these down. They're Mavs colors. They got the, you know, the Air Max makes the Rockets colors too. They're badass. I just couldn't do it, man. I would like to see them on you though. I feel like you and I probably have similar ankles, but I feel like you get away with more.

Maybe so. You could probably pull these off. But that's, I would like a pair of those. I probably need a new pair of golf shoes. Did you end up copping anything? I did. I got some of the Flywire. They're cheap.

They're like $80. So Nike ones still, though, right? Yeah, they've got the little tail on the back that helps you pull them on. They look clean. They're very light. I don't know how well they're going to hold up. I've got a golf trip to New York here in about a month, but we'll see how they are in the cold weather or in the chilly weather.

I'm excited. I'm in the market well i need to be i have i have pretty trash golf shoes every time i wear them and i'm photographed and i might get just shredded for it are you are you guys okay with like the shift from like your classic looking kind of spectator foot joy yes look to full-on sneaker look i don't care that but i still have a deep appreciation for the old school foot joy look with the white and brown. I was watching Justin Thomas yesterday, and he's rocking the all whites. He keeps it pretty classic. They look good on him. They do look good.

And then also, but- He's also a polo boy. He's a polo boy. Those pair well together. So they pair well together. Yeah. What do y'all think of the Nikes that Brooks Koepka is always wearing? They almost look like they have big straps on them.

Not really a fan. I'm not a big fan of any of Brooks' fits. He's a Nike guy. He's known to rock just the bottom of the line hat for some reason. They make him wear it. I don't really like what under armor is doing either the the speeds i don't look i don't know yeah they're a little off to me i think an underrated player on tour just as far as getting fits off goes as dj oh

yeah dustin johnson always looks clean and he wears the the kind of the tennis shoe looking um i don't know what you would call it it almost almost looks like a van, but it's not. But it looks really good on him. He pulls it off quite well. But, yeah, I almost thought, I thought about going back to like the old foot joy. But, I don't know, it made me think. One time I wore my foot joys in college in this dude Birdsong.

You remember, did you ever meet Birdsong? Yeah. You probably met Birdsong. He goes, he's like, oh, dude, you got a JPGA tournament coming up? this dude bird song you remember jeremy bird song yeah barry probably met bird song he goes he like he he's like oh dude you got a jpga tournament coming up and i was like and i didn't even know what that meant but he was he was making fun of my shoes and it's always stuck with me i let shit bother me if you can't uh tell bear here's the shoe i purchased okay yeah those look those look good yeah okay i see it's just a gray and white pretty simple it looks like a tennis shoe

i would wear them out more honestly um because there's nothing worse than having to like change shoes if you're gonna go get lunch after a round of golf you don't want to be the dude like who walks in twin peaks rocking his foot joys you can't do that we've all been there yeah they're not even gonna serve your ass uh any other golf talk anybody got anything else i don't think so okay did you watch any cornorn Ferry this weekend? I did not. Bo Hosler, I think, got his card back. I saw that.

Shout out to Bo. Did he lose his card? Yes. He lost it earlier, like a couple months ago. I hate to see it. Shouts to Hos. He got it back, though. For another program.

Dylan Fratelli, another UT guy? I had no idea he was a UT guy. Yeah. He's actually South African. Okay. Buti, another UT guy. I had no idea he was a UT guy. Yeah. He's actually South African. Okay. But, uh, played golf at UT,

you know, uh, you know, rocks the sleeve, you know, who was poised for, uh, for big things.

I think is that Victor Hovland. Dude, I love that kid. I think he's going to be really good. Good. He is good. I think he's going to really, really have a good career.

Hey, uh, dude who did win yesterday on the corn Fairy, Scotty Scheffler. He's a Longhorn guy, right? Scheffler, he was on those Bo Hosler teams, I think. I don't know. I think he was. Shout out to him.

We don't know much about you, clearly, but big shouts to you. You know what I do know a lot about? It's Succession. It's a great show. It's a good program. HBO's own. We're going to talk about it right now. There's going to be some spoilers,

so you can check the time cues in the bio or whatever it is and skip or just listen to it. Fuck it. I mean, it's Succession, dude. You're going to watch it either way even if it gets spoiled. I thought last night was a great follow-up episode. The season opener I thought was good but not great. Last night was fucking amazing for me.

Kendall got his balls back. He got his balls back, but did he? That's a good question. Did he? I'm not sure. He got his dad's balls back. Let me just say, well, two things. One, last night's episode had me thinking in my head afterwards

that this could be one of the best tv shows of all time if they can if they like continue on the trajectory okay that's that's the type of impression that the uh that the episode left me with yeah you got to see best of all time no no i'm just i'm not saying it is Like it has the potential to be? Yes. Yeah. You know Dylan said that Game of Thrones is the best TV show? He said everyone thinks that. I never said that. Pull the tape.

Like it has, it's got all of the right elements. Like the story is well constructed. The characters are extremely like fleshed out and like all very three dimensional. And they all like have, you know, they've all got like something that you're interested in you can't it's hard to put a pin in any of these people because it's like they have humanity but they're also kind of terrible it's funny it's just it's paced well like and then for me like i just i love the i like the the the business aspect of it too. I like thinking about the bear hugs and the takeovers and the gutting of the companies

and all that type of corporate espionage. When they started talking media metric stuff, did it bring you back to... When he asked for KPIs? Yeah. There's a lot of stuff in that that might have triggered me. The Facebook algorithm stuff. Yes. There's a lot of stuff in there that might have triggered me. The Facebook algorithm stuff. Yes.

There's never been a conversation at Grand X. Oh, my God. We never called it face fucked like they did, which I thought was really funny. Yeah. Wait, what were they saying? Face fucked? He's talking about how their traffic had dipped. He goes, yeah, the Facebook algorithm changed.

He goes, yeah, we got face fucked. That's pretty good. Pretty shit. Damn, I'd like to use that. They're clearly like pulling a lot from that's another thing that the show is doing doing well is that the topics the business topics are like pretty relevant as well um the unionizing the unionizing with the writing staff that could not have worked out better seriously and then like a month or two ago i don't know

if you guys saw like there but there were big profiles written about the collapse of uh of what babe.com babe.net uh that's dylan's thing or what i don't know that shit what was it called it was like it was a it was uh ebombs world it was a it was another new media company that like basically soared way too close to the sun and then collapsed in a ball of flames and i mean the you you read about the stuff and it's just like we the three of us all obviously have like very real world experience with with how that type of thing can go yeah and so it was just to watch them do this vaulter new media company like and kind of thrash it was was just interesting get gutted yeah yeah yeah it was uh you know like when you're watching um silicon valley and you know like the the companies

they're alluding to you know there's like there's somebody that they're parodying there's a basis of yeah exactly you get that same feel from this. Like, Volter, I'm like, in my head, I'm like, okay, who are they talking about? Who are they talking about? You know, is this, you know, Bustle or something? Is this Gawker? Is this Gawker?

Yeah, it was so funny. And then when Roman and Kendall are walking in to, like, go meet with the Asian dude, who's also, I hope we don't see the last of him, because him and Kendall have a great dynamic. He's a great character. But when they're walking in dude who's also, I hope we don't see the last of him because he's, him and Kendall have a great dynamic. He's a great character. But when they're walking in, Roman's like,

oh, all the journalists. Like, he's just so dismissive of them. It's so, it's so shitty. Roman's on one, dude. Like, last season, everybody,

I think most people were like, man, Roman's a dickhead, but he's like a cool dickhead. He is such a prick. This season, like, he's becoming like a full-on socio. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, his disregard and disrespect for... Literally everybody. Anything that is not in his world of like super high-powered, you know, just business bullshit. Yeah. Someone who's not his dad. Yes. It's really, really... I mean, it's fun to watch, but it's... Yeah, he's a huge prick. Yeah. Who's not his dad. Yes. Is really, really, uh, I mean,

it's fun to watch, but it's, yeah, he's, he's a huge prick. Yeah. And I thought that scene at the dinner party with him and Shiv sitting across from each other,

uh, it's real. That was really interesting. It's like, cause you know, I think, I think most people like Shiv and they're like, okay,

but she's a lot like Roman. Like they're just all this, this whole family are just, they're all just okay, but she's a lot like Roman. Like they're just all, this whole family are just, they're all just socios, man. It's fucking, it makes such good television. It's so weird that the only redeeming characters, like Greg, who hasn't even played a big role in this season other than like being like the coke guy. Greg is too pure to be involved with this family.

I gotta give a shout out. I might have brought this up last week. I give shouts to uh the producers and the writers for not forcing more greg in because you know he was such a uh a character that everybody loved last season that you could see them like maybe almost overdoing it with greg but like they're being very smart about how they're putting him into the storylines yeah we had this exact we basically had that exact conversation last week on uh other podcasts oysters clams and cockles which quick plug if you love hearing about tv and want to talk about other shows as well you can go check that out we uh we're talking about mindhunter and succession and uh dark and fleabag. How happy are you that Euphoria is over? So I actually, I'm glad it's over.

But by the end of season one, Euphoria, I really, really liked Euphoria. A lot of people are saying that. Yeah. I might have to give it a shot. Yeah. But anyways, we had that exact conversation. Like sometimes when a show reacts to what the audience liked, they get too fan servicey.

They're like, oh, people fucking loved Greg. We need more Greg, more Greg. And that they used him so sparingly in episode one was very smart. Because you need him as like, you just want him, we got more of him in episode two. And it was a nice little kind of, some moments of brevity.

Like him, Kendall giving him that apartment was awesome. So that's like a two million dollar apartment, right? At least. Probably more, yeah. That is so sick. Yeah. It reminded me of the did you ever see the movie Big with Tom Hanks? Yeah. You know when he goes back to her place? Or I think she

goes back to his place and he's got like the trampoline in his big high rise apartment it reminded me of that one. Shout out to Big, one of my and his, in his big high rise apartment. It reminded me of the, of that one. Shout out to big, one of my all time favorite movies. Uh, it's a classic. It is a classic.

Uh, yeah, dude. Like, so is that just going to be Kendall's crash pad to like, just go and creepy. Kendall's such a bad look when Kendall's out trying to like talk to chicks. It's so sad.

Well, man, one of the things about Kendall, i think that it's a really interesting decision that they made is to like he wants to be on the bike so bad that even though his dad was like now you can't ride the bike by yourself he's just he wasn't like okay just give me let me ride in the backseat of the maybach he's like okay i'll i'll ride on the back of the bike with this other two driving it okay what Okay, what's the story there? Why is his dad doing that?

Why is he riding a motorcycle? Because he doesn't, well, he's not allowed to drive the motorcycle. Okay. So he's got his chaperone basically driving the motorcycle. But why a motorcycle? Is it to get in and out of New York traffic? We were talking about this last week. We weren't sure.

Why isn't he just in a limo? Yeah, because it's like a character quirk. Because he wants to be, he wants to feel like the badassery or the freedom or the living on the edge or whatever you want to read into it. Damn.

He just wants to be on the bike instead of... Why isn't he allowed to drive the bike? Because he's a cokehead. He's a parental fuck-up. Yeah, and likes to get shit-faced Because he's a cokehead. He's a parental fuck-up. Yeah, and likes to get shit-faced and make terrible decisions. Okay.

Yeah. Dude, see, that's the kind of analysis that we just don't have. We can't go down to that deep level. I thought it was, I mean, that's kind of what we were saying. After episode one, it was like, dude, just get in the back of the Benzo or whatever, man. Don't ride the bike with this guy. But then I thought they kind of drove that point home when he pulls over and stops at the end of the episode to get cigarettes. And it's like,

just so fucking like mad at himself and the whole world and pissed off that he steals the batteries and chunks them and then gets on the bike. And it's like, this is a very clear choice that he just wants to feel riding on the bike like that's what he yeah he needs that that that feeling of like the thrill or something okay did he get his swag back when he went and uh shut down volter like because i couldn't tell if how he felt about that like Like, was that making him happy, like feel alive again? Because afterward, it sure seemed like he was dead.

Did y'all watch the breakdown on the inside of the episode after the show? No, I did not. Okay, so Jesse Armstrong, the showrunner, talked about how when you basically, like there's a freedom in basically releasing any responsibility that you have for doing shitty things. So his, like, basically, like, his mindset is that because he is in this, like, extremely submissive relationship with his father now, where he basically can't say no to his dad. It kind of gives him, like, well, i just do whatever he says because i don't have another choice so anything that i do i don't really bear like ultimate responsibility for

so he's just like i think he's just a shell right now and he obviously like hates himself hates who he is like hates the situation that he's in, feels immense guilt for what happened, is losing his family, can't even hug his kids. This dude, like you said, is dead inside. But at the same time, he's able to do something, just viciously gut Walter

under the guise of trying to save it even because he doesn't feel like, who cares? It's not his fault. It makes sense. It did feel to me like he got his mojo back even if it was just part of his mojo uh by by gutting it in the way he did it so ruthlessly and told that guy called that guy a cunt yeah and all that i think what i think kind of what we're seeing is that despite all of his flaws this dude is actually good at this shit.

Yeah. Like he is a good, he's good at this type of business. Yeah, he's built for it. If he ever gets his confidence back, that'll be, that's what we were talking about last episode. We're like, dude, is he ever gonna get it back?

Because I don't know, I was like, I don't know if I can do an entire season of him moping around. I think that halfway through the season, probably episode five or so, maybe six, I think that there will be an opportunity for him. There's going to be something big on the table for him again. Yeah. No, I don't think it's good, but I don't think it's going to be at Waystar.

Yeah. Like, I basically think he'll get another chance to possibly stick it to his dad and he's he's so beaten down like yeah like just you can't he can't get any worse for him like right he's almost like like impervious to insults or anything yeah roman just gives it to him non-stop and he just doesn't need to acknowledge the the insults dude spits in his face when he got fired. He's like, is that all you got? He's just, there's nothing left of him. He's just soulless at this point, kind of.

You think they're ever going to give us more on Conor? Like the presidential run? I feel like that's a thing that he's just been saying, and we don't know anything. Is he serious, or is this just a thing he's saying? It's so funny. That's a thing that he's just been saying and we don't really, we don't know anything. Like, is he serious or is this just like a thing he's saying? It's so funny. That's a good question. Like,

is it something that they're actually going to run with or is it just like a, the C storyline that's kind of like an ongoing joke? I'm not sure. I almost feel like it might be like, uh, it's like your buddy who's like, yeah, I'm going to start this.

Uh, I'm going to start like a vodka company or something, you know? And like, he never really does it. He just says that like, you know, your buddy who's like a trust'm gonna start this uh i'm gonna start like a vodka company or something you know and like he never really does he just says that like you know your buddy who's like a trust fund hippie or something and he's always like yeah i got this business i've been working on like okay and it just never goes anywhere like i'm wondering if that's like what this storyline is i did like roman's burn at the hotel where he's like oh i love what you didn't do with the place

i wonder how many of those are written and how much of that's like ad lib. Cause he's, he seems like a sharp enough guy to where he, he probably throws the way he delivers them in a way that it's like, wow, that's, that sounded really real. Like that just came off your dome.

Yeah. He embodies the character very well. So there's definitely a chance that he kind of throws in some of his own barbs. One more thing. Do you notice Tom in one of the opening scenes? Like he was rocking the, the michael douglas wall street you have the suspenders like the old school dude it's so funny to me like his that's a great god there's so many good

characters like i want to just be like oh what a great character but like i keep saying it over and over because yeah dude there's so many of them i thought it was interesting i remember when this show came out there was pretty much pretty wide acceptance or knowledge that the roy family and atn was like loosely based on rupert murdoch and fox news among other people but i thought it was interesting that this episode essentially confirmed that ATN is Fox News-esque. I had the exact same thought. I don't think the choice to kind of reveal that one way or another makes a huge difference. I kind of liked that it was vague.

Almost like in, remember how in Veep, how they never, ever, ever let you in on what party Selina Meyer is a part of, whether she's a Democrat or a Republican? Yeah. And in fact, there's mixed signals because they pull from both for her policies even and just thought process. So I thought it was kind of interesting to kind of let that hang, even if it was pretty clear that somebody like Logan Roy and his family would be on that side of things. I'm just kind of curious to see where they push that storyline now that we know it's conservative news, basically. There's got to be a chance that either Roman or Kendall shows up on like

Jeff Epstein's flight logs. Right. Like he, like one of those two guys is in the black book, right? It would have to be Roman. You'd have to be Roman. Uh,

yeah, dude, they, they gave Greg that nod where he was like, you know, this is against my principles. Like they're great. I mean,

he's the only likable character. Like, I mean, really the only good person on the show yeah or the uh what else is trash what's the the older lady who's like the the legal officer like she's like they're in-house oh jerry she's she seems okay yeah she seems like she's just like fuck it you know i made it this far yeah um keep collecting those checks girl keep collecting them well good stuff uh i don't know how we're gonna do this without barrett going forward like because i feel like yeah i might have to call in every every uh every succession you don't mind getting up early with us every uh monday morning um hey let's talk about honey real quick you ever buy something online only to find

out later you missed a discount i think i just did that with golf shoes. I didn't buy those online. Probably should have. I don't overspend anymore, and that's thanks to Honey. I just found out about Honey like a few months ago. I did too. And I felt like an idiot, like I'd been wasting money. Well, what I usually do is when I buy something online, I spend, like I'll put something in, you know, in the cart.

Then I'll just go scour the internet for, you know, 20 minutes looking for a promo code. Sometimes I find one, sometimes I don't. Total waste of time, and I'm probably missing out on some good ones. Honey takes care of that. It's a free browser plug-in. It's an add-on. It finds the best deals online.

It magically auto-applies the best deal to the cart at checkout. Takes all the work. So Dylan's spending like 20 minutes surfing the web. He loves surfing. But he could have just had Honey, and it would have just been way more efficient. Discounts and coupons across more than 37,000 sites. That's crazy.

Amazon, Sephora, Best Buy, Nordstrom, anybody ever heard of it? And more. It's fantastic with honey. I don't worry about missing a deal. I just shop like normal. They handle the rest. I love it. It saved 10 million members an average of $28.61.

That's really good. Time Magazine calls Honey basically free money. Check it out. Go to honey.com slash circling back. Honey.com slash circling back. That's a thing we're doing, man. I'm all in on Honey. Everybody is.

Over 100,000 five-star reviews. That's more than Club Cool and Circling Back combined. Check it out. So Hot Girl Summer's coming to an end. Yes. But don't worry. Football season can't get here soon enough. The next season is rapidly approaching.

What's the next season? It is Christian Girl Fall. Okay. You see this thing online, Dave, on the internet? This is something that I can proudly say we are perfectly late on, and I'm excited about it. Yes. Because I feel like lately circling back has been kind of relevant

and timely with some of our stuff. This is one that's at least two weeks old. We're a little bit late. Which is very on brand for us. Yeah, I'm happy. I'm happy we're getting back to our stuff. This is one that's like at least two weeks old. We're a little bit late. Which is very on brand for us. Yeah, I'm happy. I'm happy we're getting back to our roots. So Christian Girl Fall is, apparently Christian girls love the fall.

They like to dress for it. They like to get their pumpkin spice lattes going. It started with this girl, Caitlin Covington. Like someone found a photo of her. I think she's like a lifestyle blogger. She's on Instagram. I'll shout her out. At CM Coving. C-O- photo of her. I think she's a lifestyle blogger. She's on Instagram.

I'll shout her out. C-O-V-I-N-G She posted some photos. Honestly, this is all the women I know. This chick has a million followers? Really? How so? I think she's blown up.

She probably just blew up from christian girl autumn yeah i i just i gotta weigh in here quickly that this is like when you see these photos that you know epitomize you know the ethos of christian girl autumn you you know the look you immediately know exactly what they're talking about and there's never been a better description of what like of what this is of who this person is and like what their deal is but this is kind of like this this is like the original mom blogger like look basically yeah oh it absolutely is you know what i mean she graduated from uh georgia or alabama somewhere in the southeast old mess probably um and yeah she she lives in uptown now she got wifed up and she blogs and probably owns a boutique um man her if you just just scanning her her instagram page she's pretty obnoxious she's

she's very attractive but she's pretty obnoxious man oh my, she's very attractive, but she's pretty obnoxious, man. Oh my God. Yeah. Um, every, every post she does is seemingly taken. Sorry. I accidentally clicked on a video of that Christian girl. Autumn seemingly is,

is taken by a professional photographer. She doesn't have a single, like, like her friend snaps a shot when they're, you know, at a tailgate or whatever. Like they're all professional shots. Some of the tweets about...

I guess one dude on Twitter kind of started the meme, and then some of the responses. This picture left pumpkin spice residue on the inside of my screen. This picture thinks Africa is a country and is going on a mission trip there in 2020. This picture goes to brunch and gets overly excited to annoyingly pronounce huevos rancheros. Yeah, this is pretty funny. This is basically just mocking white girls in their 20s.

Can you not just take one normal picture with your friends or with your family? Let's see. Oh, my gosh. She posts a lot. Like I'm, let's see. Oh my gosh. She posts a lot. I feel bad for her because people are just like making assumptions about like her beliefs and whatnot. Like this one from spooky man.

One, two, three. This picture asked me not to kiss another man in public. And if I could please leave the restaurant, we're going to tweet. All right. I'm going to tweet the photo from circling back if you don't know what we're talking about. But dude, my wife has like all of these fits. I hate to out her like that. This is for the girls that never met a booty that they didn't like.

Okay. Is that what the shoe is called? What's the shoe called? There's two options here to get your Christian Girl Autumn fit off, but they're both boots. Okay. You can do the low cut ones, which usually have some type of block heel. Yeah. That's a booty.

Okay, got it. Yeah. And then the other option is the leather boots that come up almost to the knees. Oh, that's the one. Is that the horse riding boot? That's a riding boot. Riding boot, yeah. Those are your two options. Hard.

So I did find one picture of, okay, she's now married, but back in December of 2018, she posted she's in Hawaii and she's kissing her husband and he has a very professional camera slung around his neck so yeah like this is like this is that he's a camera cuck yeah oh come on they go on a vacation and uh it's it's not to

you know priority one is just getting dope grams off they do look like the type of couple that would have been in on the uh what's the like the gopro thing where she's leading him by oh my god and you can only see you see like the hand and thing where she's leading him by oh my god and you can only see you see like the hand and her like walking in tulum or something noxious thing ever dude what's okay what's uh what's christian guy autumn looking like i mean it's got to be just like a vineyard vines vest thrown over like a flannel right with like jeans and maybe some like either i don't know if you're in texas it's got to be some like some boots i mean this is i'm basically describing myself here i'm sorry i'm just i'm just i'm in a wormhole here i think you know i think you nailed it yeah god dang i have a plaid shirt

plaid of some sort tucked in tucked in have you all Fleece vest over it. Have y'all seen the URL for her blog? No. Just take a guess of what you think it could be. Hotgirljesus.com? Southerncurlsandpearls.com. No. She used to write for TSM. Southerncurlsandpearls.com.

Oh, my God. Dude, no. I can't stand this girl. She 100%. She knows who you are. I will say that. She's aware of Dylan. She's aware of Dorn.

Dude, this girl's probably drunkenly DM'd you like six years ago. I don't think she did. Is she on Twitter? I don't know. I'm sure. You know who she reminds me of? Like her style. And this is not an insult.

It's someone we used to work with. Spencer. Spencer. Our old friend Spencer would kill Christian Girl Autumn. She's probably going to. She's probably going to. Yeah. I don't doubt it.

Dude, look. My wife's going to kill Christian Girl Autumn. I think the piece de resistance, that doesn't make any sense here. I don't think I'm using that correctly. The ultimate, the accessory that I feel like takes the regular Autumn Girl fit

and turns it into full-blown Christian Girl Autumn fit is the scarf. Scarf changes everything. Because lots of women like the big cozy sweaters and the blue denim, maybe with some light distressing on it. Booties are obviously like a big fall choice for girls. But then when you wrap around like a big plaid,

fuzzy scarf around the whole thing, that's when you really take it into Christian girl autumn territory, I think. Especially when it's probably like 65 degrees yeah yeah yeah it's kind of the kind of the equivalent of of when you're in college and it's like it dips below 65 for the first time all year and you immediately grab your patagonia your north face i am on southern curls and pearls.com currently what's the first blog time there's there's nothing for me here folks uh we'll see so he has many tabs. What do you call them?

The things at the top? Categories? Whatever. It's not like a typical blog. Well, actually, I take that back. Let's see. My three-step self-care routine is the first blog. Okay.

Oh, no. Okay, actually not even step one turn off your phone okay step two scrub in the tub step three pamper your pout i don't even okay your what your pout i was using piece de resistance properly that's pretty good yeah yeah the most important or it's the definition is the most important or remarkable feature When's the last time you pampered your pal? Oh, boy. It's been a while. Imagine how obnoxious it would be if this was your significant other. Like, just imagine.

Dude, these... I have to stop. You can't take a good photo. We should get her on the pod. Get her on the pod. I don't want her on the pod. I kind of do. Unless you post about it on her Instagram account with a million followers.

Can I compliment her? Dude, she's got great hair. She does have great hair. She's very attractive. Objectively, she's a hot woman, but nah. Nah, fam. Dude, she 100% has a golden doodle, right? She definitely has to.

Not the mini one, but the mid-sized one. She has a dog mom. Okay, does it say that? It says it in her bio, yeah. I would like it if you walked over here right now and just beat me to death, Dylan. What was that? Did y'all hear that? Is that your computer?

No. It's outside. Oh. Did somebody just set up like an amp and just hit like a bar chord? That was weird. It kind of sounded like they went down a zip line. That was really... It sounded like they went down a zipline that was really sounding like people were were fighting with lightsabers yeah also that exactly right yeah

dude part of hot girl summer is ziplining in costa rica yeah like oh you have to that's that's that that's the transition that's when you know hot girl summer's coming to an end and christian girl autumn's about to like fire up we make fun but this girl probably just makes so much money from her her blogging and oh yeah and instagram shit yeah like so much i bet she has a patreon and she's got like 20 000 patrons i mean the you know the the biggest issue here is that this is just this is so saturated now like these like these bloggers are a diamond dozen yes so i when i was doing the pgp thing i would get once a month someone who has comes from this um you know these kind of bloggers they would hit me up wanting to write on the site yeah not her but like and i would always look i'd always give them consideration because like we were always trying to mix in like we need more you know uh female writers and like a lot of it

was just it was just it was like stuff like this they didn't really have anything that fit our brand yeah it was a lot of like writing about self-care and shit i'm like yeah that's fine but you gotta it's hard to be funny and like entertaining writing about self-care yeah although pampering your pouts a new one as far as i can tell she does not have Patreon. Man, the other thing is, as a few dudes sitting around a table that are all savvy micro-influencers, in my case, maybe a micro-micro-influencer. For now. For now.

A million followers doesn't mean anything. I don't know if you guys covered that story of the girl that has like 2 million followers and tried to launch some t-shirts and she couldn't sell 36 of them. Yeah. But I, I think that the ads they do like the, the product plugs, I think they pay pretty decently.

If you have a Millie, I, I'm not saying that they don't, but I'm saying that I don't know if like how many of those, sometimes those don't really convert all that well. That's all I'm saying. They're not good followers. They're not engaged.

I would be shocked if she's bringing in less than 200K a year. Shocked. What do you think her KPS are? That would be surprising to me. Really? I don't think she's bringing in that much. Man. What's she advertising?

What's her spawn count? One of them is vital protein collagen water I just clicked on. Oh, that's a big one. Call any collagen. That's huge right now. Um, here's one that's a, it looks like some kind of skin scrub.

See, I just, these companies, the skin scrubs and the tummy teas and the collagen waters, they don't have like, they're not walking around with million dollar ad budgets. Yeah. She might,

you might get one or two ads, but like, it's not going to be a sustained deal. But she, does them all the time like she's doing them daily she does a lot of posts by the way lots well she's blown up we're helping blow her up by talking about it but so yeah she was she got memed and now she's flipping that meme and making money tree for her uh yeah these are all sponsored posts, man. This is crazy. Does she vlog?

I mean, she needs to get into vlogging. That's where it's at. Everybody's pivoting to video. I don't know if she vlogs. What do you think her accent sounds like? Hey, guys. Hey, guys. One of my favorite things is just going to a Georgia football game.

I love Athens. I love going back. I love my dogs. You guys have a pretty dope hat, though. Flat brim. Dude, last night in succession when they did talk about pivoting to video, I was like, God, dude, they're nailing this. Yeah, oh, they did some research.

Yeah. They talked to people in the business. So funny. Her husband is just okay looking. Just okay. What's he like? He like walked onto the Auburn or something. He was like a third string.

That seems like somebody she would marry. I don't know. His bio on Instagram just says, married to an amazing woman at CM Coving. Father to destructive pets. This guy stinks. I mean, this guy stinks. He has 5,700 followers.

Pretty good for a civilian. They're all just following her account over to his. They definitely go to a mega church, right? They go into church, and it's walking into like a damn cowboy game like they got cops out there directing traffic okay that's don't show me that from a post from may he has a puka shell necklace on all right a uh a chest tattoo it looks like a like a cancer ribbon of some sort, okay. And then is that some kind of doodle? That's definitely a doodle. A doodle on his lap.

So good job, Dave. I'm not going to hate on the doodle. I love the doodle. But you can just tell when you see a doodle person. And people might think that when they look at me. This guy doesn't even lift. You don't think he lifts? Yeah, he does.

Wow. Well, I'm glad we covered that. It's one of the funnier things. I don't know how we missed it when it was really going off, but here we are. You guys got anything else you want to discuss? Man, no. This was a fun pod.

We've continued into new territory.

We're just covering a TV and film at large and talking about other shows. And, and that's, that's going swimmingly as well. We're having a good time doing that. So, um, club cool, which is claims and cockles. Check them out. Let me ask you a question. We've had a couple months to let it simmer. Yeah.

Think about it it set in there yes where do you stand on game of thrones final season the final season was not great over i think that's i don't think there's any getting around that but when i look at the show as a whole it was six seasons of probably the best television ever one season that was okay and then one season that was like subpar what was the okay season seven okay yeah one through six phenomenal television probably the best that's ever been done for my money and eight was the not seven was okay eight not not good. Seven was okay. Eight,

not that good. But when you take that body of work, like, and just look at it as, as a whole, I mean, it was, it's still,

it's unprecedented. The stuff that they did from like, just like a filmmaking perspective will, you know, we likely won't see anything like that anytime soon. you know, I, I, I loved it no matter what. The stuff that I still...

If there's anything that still irks me, it's the type of poor writing decisions that seemed like they so easily could have been fixed. I will never forget Benioff on screen saying that Daenerys kind of forgot about the Iron Fleet. Like that's kind of unforgivable.

That's tough. That's tough. Like just don't say that. Like that is just, that just makes it sound like nobody in the writer's room was even paying attention. It's just laziness. Yeah, laziness. Okay, does somebody like break their NDA and like do like a tell-all book like one of the showrunners or like somebody that was in the room be like this is what happened everybody fucking hated each

other or like i want to know i need the dirt because it doesn't seem like uh people that are that good at their craft can can do can churn out what they churned out, churned out in that final season. It doesn't make sense. I think that Benioff and Weiss were in charge of that writer's room until the last day. And I think they had their heads in other places and they were focused on finishing rather than like making it good. And they got their star Wars trilogy to worry about.

They got their new Netflix deal that they're focusing on. Like, and they just, they, I just don't think that they, that they were giving it the attention that they had given the previous seven seasons. Yeah, I think that's fair. And maybe I could be completely wrong because obviously like a ton of money and time went

into that final season. It just feels like they like were focusing big picture and they stopped paying attention to like the details, which that's where the devil is. That's what made the show great, those first six seasons, five or six seasons. Just the little details and the dialogue and the detail to writing.

It's just, oh well. Still all in all, enjoy it. Still all in all, incredible show that will always, always be like in the pantheon you know dylan just started sopranos i'm i'm trying to talk the lady into starting sopranos currently she has zero interest in like mob like mob stuff in general and i'm trying to pitch it as like no it's like a family dynamic show like it's like very like you know it's about stuff it's not just about mobsters killing each

other so i'm working on it i'd like because i i i need to watch the sopranos obviously i i lose credibility as a oh you've never seen it as a television critic without without ever having seen it see i just seen uh episodes here and there i just caught it on hpo whenever like i caught it live right and i'd watch you know but um never all the way through yeah i probably i've probably only seen 20 of the episodes yeah so here i am well i'm excited i dared i hope you hop into it yeah i'd love to hear your takes because it's i've watched it twice and it's my all-time favorite for me yeah game of thrones is close but um yeah i like talking it, especially when people are going back and watching it for the first time.

Okay. Hey, check it out. Washedmedia.com slash shop. We got mugs. We got shirts. We got all sorts of stuff. The Party Wave shirt, which is like the dopest thing we've ever done. Get that now.
