Since it's Friday, that means it's newsletter day. People got their

weekly this morning. They did. Will did not have a piece in and that's because he's still out on paternity leave. So he needs to put that piece in. Right. So you got a John's from Dave and myself. dave and myself my electric weekend is is mapped out for you guys hour by hour and then doing um what i do i don't know if i want to i'll let you describe it i i talked about a um an ai influencer a young lady who's not a real person who's um posing nude on Patreon for a fee. And it's just, it's bizarre what the world has allowed people to do. They warned us about the dangers of AI, but we had no idea that it would come to this. AI nudity behind a paywall.

So there you go. I wrote about it. Go check it out. What is it? What is it? Wash.substack.com? Wash.substack.com. That is correct. That is it wash.substack.com wash.substack.com that is correct that is the url yes cool subscribe subscribe do it um oh you know i just remembered looking at this rundown we forgot to do a five-star review of the week on wednesday oh no damn that would have been a fun one it's

okay well we'll we'll punt it for next week. What else? Oh, yeah, go to washmedia.shop, get some merch, check out our gear. Dylan, I think you teased something in the – or just straight up promoted it, the new hat. Yeah, we have a new hat that will be dropping probably next week. You've seen it on Dave. Have you been paying attention?

It's a rope hat. It says washed and cursive it's sharp it's simple it's bold it looks really good yeah

if you are a subscriber to the newsletter you get first access to it there will be a limited quantity so get to it fast who's going to get

first access newsletter patrons newsletter people newsletter well we'll do it we'll do it simultaneously

on both because we got to we have to, you know, the patrons, they're the realest ones of them all. Right on, good sirs. Yeah. You know, that hat's going to pair well with bird dogs. That's correct. Because they both make you look good.

Bird dogs are great. Bird dog stretch khaki shorts are designed to fit slimmer through the thigh and leg, giving you a truly sculpted look. I noticed you were wearing them recently, and I couldn't help but notice how sculpted you looked. If you can sculpt these bad boys, you're doing real work. We thank our friends at Bird Dogs for that. Bird Dog Shorts do the exact same thing as Lululemon, but fit way better. They fit way better than regular shorts that are made of a stiff, restricting cotton.

I don't like that. I have some shorts like that, and I'm like, oh, this is terrible. Bird Dogs fixed that issue by inventing cloud knit fabric. It looks just like khaki but stretches, so you get a way slimmer fit without having to sacrifice movement. I'm a big mobility guy. Best liners in the game. Great liners. I know you're talking about mobility, but I can't stop thinking about the liners.

They're the best in the game. They're not too I know you're talking about mobility, but I can't stop thinking about the liners. They're the best in the game. They're not too constricting. They're very comfortable, but yet supportive. It's wild. It's like a perfect balance there. They also use an anti-stink sweat-wicking fabric that keeps you cool and dry all day long.

I use that Yeti style Tumblr at the gym today and it's sitting out there on my desk. How about that?

How about that? We got to talk oyster date. If you're big on TikTok, which we are really not, then you've seen this. This is so big that it made its way over to Twitter, to Instagram, and it is sweeping the nation. TikTok dragged her for eating 48 oysters on a date. Restaurant manager says it's nothing new. So the gist of it is, and shout out to Rolling Stone for paywalling this, even though I read it an hour ago on there. The gist of it is, this is a young lady who I believe is some sort of content creator, but there's been a fella been trying to take her out. This is in Atlanta and she's been, you know, ignoring him, blowing him off. But then she said in her TikTok, she's got time. So why not? We'll go get drinks. That's going to be key.

He invited her to get drinks. So they go to an oyster spot in Atlanta, uh, Fontaine's oyster house, which is apparently very good we could play the tiktok but to spare dylan we won't yeah i was gonna say the the most uh egregious part of this video is the sounds that the young lady is making while eating the oysters and 48 of them if you've eaten an oyster before you probably can imagine what that sounds like they are very slippery and slimy and she is slurping them down little fact about me i have a little thing called misophonia what is misophonia you might be asking yourself david uh misophonia is when you miss a phone call it's not misophonia is when you can't tolerate the sound of people, certain sounds specifically, sounds people make with their mouth, like eating, chewing, slurping, smacking, anything mouth-related. It makes me extremely uncomfortable and oftentimes even a little bit nosh, believe it or not.

I find it really repulsing. So she's slurping down these oysters oysters and that's the worst part for me. Shout out to Aquana B, E-Q-U-A-N-A-B on TikTok. I've often said that, honestly, raw oysters, one of my favorite foods on the planet. I absolutely love them. And I've even said, I think I can eat my weight in oysters. It's not entirely true. 48 is a lot of oysters. true. 48 is a lot of oysters. 48's a lot. And this is a first hangout, first date situation that was billed as drinks, pitched as drinks. She orders one round, okay, then another, then another. And all the while she's recording herself, she's doing content, and each oyster, she's just slurping it down on camera.

This is a first date? Yeah, I think, yeah, it was. Homegirl pulls out her phone on her first date and starts getting content off. I'm a little put off by that. I'm not going to lie. Well, the fella who invited her out was so put off that he went to the bathroom and never returned. Okay.

He bailed on the date he dipped he done he dipped so i've had enough of this i've seen enough oysters go down that uh did did he leave her with the bill uh he did but he did text and say he would pay he had a drink or two he said he would venmo her or cash app her for the drinks so he was so disgusted did he get so he didn't eat anything no oh my god uh okay i found a daily mail write-up the majority of the video shows the woman slurping the oysters for and after adding lemon and tabasco she does not show him on camera she admits that her date gave strange looks but that she didn't give a fuck i was like baby you invited me out i'm going to eat and she but that she didn't give a fuck. I was like, baby, you invited me out. I'm going to eat. And she did.

Her date didn't. Once she finished the 48 oysters, the woman ordered crab cakes and red skin potatoes, which she said were a 10 out of 10. Her date didn't think so after telling the woman he was going to the bathroom. He left and never came back. By the way, $15 for a dozen oysters.

You don't get that in Austin. They're like $3 or $4 per oyster. Yeah. It's absolutely absurd. So I'm jealous that they can get $12 for $15. How many oysters do you have to eat to get full? If you're only eating oysters? Yeah, and you're not putting them on a cracker.

I could easily house 30 i could i could easily house 35 plus i think easily three dozen like if that's my meal easily yeah but you don't want to you don't want to only eat oysters for your meal you know just a big sludge of slimy meat in your gut i know some people will say like oh oh, that place has great oysters. For me, all you really need is oysters that don't make me sick and horseradish and cocktail sauce, and I'm good. I'll tell you what, Dave. I'll take it a step further. People who turn their nose up to Gulf oysters, I'm a little put off by that.

Oh, I only eat them from the Northeast. I'm a Pacific Northwest guy. Okay. But I'll eat Gulf oysters. They do taste really good. But there's nothing wrong with the Gulf oysters. They're a little bit bigger. That might turn some people away. But they're fine.

I'll fuck up a Gulf oyster. The restaurant's manager, Kelsey Flanagan, told Rolling Stone, she was not surprised. This is nothing new for us. It was just quite funny. I've had two ladies order six dozen oysters each. That's not even with the cherry on top. They were drinking white Russians.

I will say it had been a minute since I had seen a single female eat that many. It's pretty impressive. Okay. Pairing a white Russian with oysters is a psycho move. That's revolting. It has milk in it. Correct. That's just gross. That's notting. It has milk in it. Correct. You can't.

That's just gross. That's not my drink of choice with oysters. And listen, I love a white Russian. I love oysters, but I will never have them together. Mark my words. I don't think I've had a white Russian since high school. I love them. It's been a minute, though.

Yeah. Yeah. Apparently, a white Russian will get you a Brittany Griner in a trade. Am I right, guys? You see that? Merchant of death. Oh, that's good, Dave. People forget about the merchant of death.

Not me. Not me. This guy, it's fucked up to just ghost the day, but it's also very funny. Is she getting dragged for this? Or are people just like, oh my gosh, that's really impressive? I think it's a little bit of both. I think people are very grossed out by the the audio audible slurp i think a lot of people suffer from your condition i don't think it's that common well people are maybe it's just i mean slurping should bother everybody it bothers people like me

more so but the sound of a slurp is disgusting. They did point out that her tip, because she posted her putting cash down and the money she'd put on her card, did amount to 14%. Which is low. It's a little bit low. It's low. Now, she was, I don't know her situation, but she was left with the entire bill unexpectedly. But she did go very, very hard. 48 oysters. She certainly set the tone for the rest of the would-be relationship had they stuck together.

Like, look, you take me out, like, no holds barred. I'm going off if I want to. Watching the video makes me wonder if they even talked like she doesn't show him in the video which was nice i kind of wish she did because i want to see what this dude looks like she films it from a pov perspective right explain to people what pov means uh pod was a new metal band in the early 2000s that had a couple hits, School of Hard Knocks. Youth of a Nation. Youth of a Nation.

So POV is point of view. Point of view. Yeah, it's a genre. Which means she's like, this is what I see as I'm eating these oysters. Had the phone been on the other side of the table, we wouldn't get the slurping. It wouldn't be as egregious.

She was tricking up the slurping. That mic was right by her mouth, which is gross. She was playing to the slurpers out there. Yeah. Slurping up ramen is considered courteous to the chef in Japanese culture. Is that right? Wow.

Learn something new every day, Randy. So you're saying we go to ramen, we need to start slurping it up? I can't. I'm not gonna. I can't be around that. I just can't. Let's slurp them up, boys.

Like the show. I wonder if she was doing this expecting him to pay for everything. Yes. Of course. Yeah. I think that's pretty common. Hell yeah. He just left.

That's a real kid. He left. He's a real guy. Real guy. I want to go to Fontaine's and get down with some oisties, though. I'm getting hungry. I was thinking about going to Bill's. Hungry.

They got good happy hour deal. But it's Friday. We can do Perry's. It's only $19 for that pork chop. Damn, you're trying to go hard. Bill's is good. Wait, Bill's the one down. Oh, no.

I'm thinking of Tlc the one down here there's a walkable oyster place from us you know that right oh oh yeah no i do know that it's called tlc but bills is the new one yeah yeah like second street or whatever i've never been to that there once nice yeah we went uh a couple months ago and it was a very cool spot very it feels very there's a there's a a place in San Francisco that I had the feel of, Leo's Oyster Bar, which is – I don't know if it's even still there, but it's a good spot. Randy, can you hit us with the article I sent you, the best –

per the New York Post, the best couples costumes this season. It is a spooky season, of course. So I wanted to look at these. Oh, my God. Okay. That T-shirt is the worst. If you show up in that, you're not getting into my spooky Halloween bash. So there's going to be a number of couples that are forced to go Taylor Swift, Travis Kelsey.

A number of, you know, I would say it's the gals making the guys do it, but there's a number of guys who want to do Travis Kelsey's costume. They can really go hard. However, I have to say that the image that they have used on the New York Post, it appears to be a very good Taylor Swift costume. It's her little dress from- That's just a picture of Taylor. They cut her face off, right? That's a picture of Taylor Swift.

It looks like it might be like her wax dummy, but whatever. It's her shake it off dress, I think. And then there's some guy, just some spare rocking a T-shirt, a Red Chiefs T-shirt that just says Kelsey with the laces of a football going atop of it and his number, 87. That's almost as bad as just having a name tag on your costume because you couldn't portray the costume well enough for people to guess it on their own.

I look at it the same way. Oh, look, it's Jake from State Farm. To me, that's the functional equivalent of a name tag. Yeah. You are no better than a name tag costume sir you may as well just go put on like a peter millar and throw a travis kelsey name tag on we talk about this every year if your costume needs a name tag in order to get the point across you don't deserve halloween and i hope no one invites you to their parties because you're a

lame you stink and you need to figure out a better way to get your costume across. I'm going to ironically go as name tag guy this year. I think that's what I'm going to do. Yeah, this is bad. Just buy the jersey. You got to go. Look, some costumes cost more than others. Some you have to pay. If you want to really be-

Work. Do it well, go do it. You could probably find a costume version of a football uniform with some cheap little shoulder pads and a helmet. like a uh like a costume version of a football uniform with like some some cheap little shoulder pads and a helmet you know you definitely can because i went as emmett smith and uh like first grade yeah so if you really want to be kelsey then be kelsey don't wear a t-shirt that says kelsey and then an 87 on it it's 19 it says so right here that's some lame-o shit dave that's so bad scroll down

okay i wrote about this in a newsletter a couple weeks ago this is another one that's so bad scroll down okay i wrote about this in the newsletter a couple weeks ago this is another one that's the barbie and ken this is going to be a major player and i don't have any issue with this as long as you go hard um i have not seen the barbie movie i don't think anybody here has randy nope i know dylan hasn't no. This is going to be big. The couple's costume, I think it's going to be 1A, 1B, Travis and Taylor, Barbie and Ken. It's hot right now. Yeah, that's going to be a major player for sure.

It could be done well. Scroll down. This is where we get into the novelty stuff. I'm a big fan of this, but I have to ask, what's going on with these meatballs? This is a spaghetti and meatballs costume set why are the meatballs why is that the most revolting thing i've ever seen those look like dinosaur eggs it's revolting they're they're massive they're massive meatballs

and she is uh uncooked spaghetti still in the in the package how would you do cooked spaghetti i don't know i don't know either maybe you just drape it drape the noodles over your shoulders or something the meatballs are also wrapped around his waist his crotch area so it just looks like two bulbous balls and there are two of them there's two of them so yeah looks like the south park episode when they get testicular cancer yes yes the intentionally yes uh luffa soap costume set fine squid game garden player i think i don't think you can do this i think the squid game thing that was such a flash in the pan oh yeah this is when was it two years last year like that was last year right or two years i want to say two this is two years ago yeah two Yeah. You had maybe, you could maybe pull off Squid Game last year, maybe. Just because.

It was still fresh in the mind, I guess. It's been too long. But no, you can't do it two years later, I'm sorry. Good show. Maybe when season two comes out, but yeah, this is. Scroll down to Fred and Wilma Flintstone. Didn't you have a friend get punched in the face by a guy in a Fred costume costume yes this was oh gosh um at this point maybe 15 years ago but my buddy i won't say his name yeah he was on six street with um my other friend with mikey you know mike michael yeah

not much of a fighter michael no i can't, but. And so, yeah, they were on 6th Street one night, and to be clear, it was not Halloween. It was probably like April. Okay. And they're on 6th Street. Late at night, bars are closing. They're looking for a cab. This is before Ubers, I think, a long time ago. Sees a guy dressed as Fred Flintstone. He goes up to him and say, hey, man, why are you dressed as Fred Flintstone like or something like that like nothing aggressive yeah and the guy just cold cocks him oh my god and it bounces his head off the pavement and he's concussed his two front teeth are like split in half like it was a really bad situation god um and michael's sitting there like oh oh, shit, what do I do? And he didn't try to fight back or defend him because I think this guy was rather large. And, yeah, they had an ambulance ride that night.

It was a pretty bad situation. Never caught the guy? There is an element of humor to it because the guy was dressed, again, as Fred Flintstone. Damn. Yeah. That's scary. Tough scene. Go down to the Bob Ross costume is this is a really good one

that i have to give them credit i did not expect this you got uh you have the lady the lady friend wearing the uh the art the nice landscape portrait and legend bob ross the legend bob ross zoom in on the face of that guy it's it's quite terrifying i just want to point out that the model they have for this. Oh, hey. There you go. Yeah, yeah. That's not a bad costume. I like it.

I still think that the Chips and Salsa that we rocked you and Will's spooky season episode one was pretty iconic. The which one? Chips and salt.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was great. I don't think I've ever participated in a couple's costume. That's a fun fact about me. What about the avocado toast? So millennial? No, dude, that's why. That's why millennials can't afford home.

I see the s'mores one. If you guys want to know more about s'mores, you should go check out my blog on Washington.com. I rank some i see the s'mores one if you guys want to know more about s'mores you should go check out my blog on washington.com i i ranked some different types of s'mores you could do it's it's actually it went viral that's exciting randy have you ever done a couple's costume yeah um i mentioned i won a couple's costume contest in san marcos with my buddy eugene also i guess that was a uh dallas and i once upon a time we were uh she was a deer and i was a hunter okay scroll up and we kind of actually we kind of crushed it would you rock i was i was i had like a fu man shoe and i had like a camo hat on okay and then like a bright

orange vest and i was carrying a toy rifle i kind of crushed it was it this it looked a lot like that yeah i i gotta say be careful with the novelty firearm make sure it's clearly uh not real that doesn't have an orange tip you need to have an orange tip you gotta tip my guy it's also very tiny but that's fine it could be a 22 i guess it could be a 22 you don't hunt deer with a 22 randy one guy in Into the Wild killed a moose with a 22 anyone knows that book that seems very unlikely yeah it does yes it does

oh that's a good costume that would be a fun one to dress up as if you're doing couples costumes just stay away from the name tags that's all we ask do you like the deer and headlights one where the guy is a deer and the woman has headlights? You're going to have to. I can't picture what this might look like.

Right there, yeah. Okay. The headlights, like from Dumb and Dumber. Remember that scene? Yeah. Did the headlights light up? Probably not. You have a whole battery pack situation not you know it's a it's a whole thing all right all right not a bad costume not bad at all i don't

know why the the deer is wearing uh flannel but it is and jeans as well and shoes gotta wear something you just don't see that very often all right good stuff be careful out there All right, good stuff. Be careful out there. Is Brett doing a party? What's the deal? No. He's not.

Why the heck not? Because we will be doing a party at another friend's house. It's his housewarming party. Is Brett upset? I think he's a little let down because he wants to do it, but he's pivoting to Christmas. As I know, Brett is more of a Christmas guy. Brett, he wants to corner the market on these holiday parties but like other people are allowed to have them too

you know what i mean like i get why he'd be a little uh annoyed but you know is he gonna go begrudgingly yeah i think he's gonna try to invite some friends too i mean we're gonna have a good time still it'd be funny if he just did it and mailed in his costume, did like a name tag. He told me he has a costume, but he did not tell me. He gave me hints, but not what it was. I heard. I heard. I'm working on it. I'm going through the Rolodex.

It involves Tim's. Timberland shoes. Timberland boots. That's all I know. Love it. This podcast is sponsored by our good friends at Squarespace.

We're going to do about this eclipse. Ooh, it's tomorrow. We're right on the cusp of like the zone of. We're on the edge of like the the i'm about i was about to say something was going to give you you know uh an alley for a horny joke i'm not going to do it we're right on the edge where it's like really really good viewing okay if we were a little bit further west south southwest okay and it would be even better our friends in san antonio i think are going to be in a pretty prime spot.

Were you going to say we're on the edge of the annular solar eclipse? No. Oh, okay, because we are. I was going to say the edge of the money zone. I thought you'd make a money shot play there, and I didn't want to give it to you because I know how you are. The money zone. But, yeah, we're out on the edge. So we're going to get a pretty good view much better than a lot of our our friends to the uh the north

and the east of us sorry so i'm kind of excited around just before noon here dave just before noon in austin head outside don't look directly at it dave don't don't trump it and look directly at the sun as it will burn your eyes okay okay it's gonna get a little dim for a for a minute i'm excited it's gonna dim um we're yeah like you said we're right there on the edge south austin do you know why this is an annular solar eclipse oh um because it happens annually that is's a good guess, but no. See, currently the moon, its orbit is about as far away from Earth as it gets. Therefore, it appears pretty small in the sky.

Okay. And so it's not going to completely cover up the sun when it's over the sun because the sun will be bigger. That's why it's also called like ring of fire you'll see the sun surrounding the moon when it's directly over it covering it the sun famously is a star if the moon were in an orbit that's closer into earth it would completely cover the sun but that's not going to happen that's my favorite i think we'll get a better one next year, by the way. I'm going to go do my shoebox thing.

Or I'm going to go just get some welding goggles. I think I'm just going to go outside and just catch the vibes that come with it. Just go look at it. I'm just going to catch the vibes. How long do you have to look at it for it to hurt your eyes? I don't know. Like if I just, you go. Because as a kid, I feel like that was a thing on the playground.

You just look up real fast and look down like, oh, dude. How long can I stare at the sun? Kids are stupid. 100 seconds. That was a quick search. While recovery does occur for some people, it is possible to experience permanent visual acuity deficits. Permanent retinal damage can occur when someone looks at the sun for 100 seconds or less. This is under two minutes.

That's longer than I expected. It says or less this is under two minutes that's longer than i expected it says or less i think they're covering their ass here this is from envisionicenters.com so um another website says there's a question was asked is it okay to look at the sun for a few seconds there is no specific research to support the practice of sun gazing. However, there's evidence that the practice can be harmful. Experts agree that staring at the sun even for a few seconds can cause vision problems and even blindness. Look, don't risk it, folks. No, not worth it.

Don't do it. Especially if you're not in the zone of annular or whatever they're calling it. When you drive past a construction site and you see someone welding. Oh, yeah. Are you curious just to glance at it real quick? You're not supposed to look at that either. No. I mean, I've done it because it is shockingly bright.

Yeah. It's very bright. Plus, it draws your eye line eye line you're like oh i want to what are they welding i want to know are they making something dope well things are really cool skilled to know it is i wish i was a welder the welders who are are hard they don't even use a welder's mask they just close their eyes when they're doing the actual like welding part you've seen these guys no they look at it and they they line up their weld and they close their eyes for a couple seconds they do it and they open them and they go on to the next one it's fucking hard that's see this shit randy i have not seen that that's

that's hard that's next level welding dave you couldn't do that shit no i have no training you could also just wear a welder's mask that's what would do. Which also works if you don't look at the sun. Be safe, guys. Hey, before we go, so that Sasquatch thing was a hoax. It was a brand activation, a brand play. And I'm not even going to give them pub. I have to say this is devastating news. Pretty pissed off. I got to say, pretty good prank.

Pretty good costume. But we were had. Did you say what it was a prank for? I said it was for a brand. I didn't want to give them the free ad. Honestly, I think he might deserve a little cred for pulling this off and getting the attention of a lot of people. It's a Colorado-based camper company.

Sasquatch is in the name name so it's a whole play here and there's a pit on the website there's a picture of the the guy in costume and it's a it's a pretty legit bigfoot like he it's a great big pulled out of all the stops so he did great fooled us i was ready to believe well played here i was thinking that we had finally had a bigfoot and also uh that landry our know-it-all social guy, was roasting me. He said that the Spirit Halloween co-op thing was fake.

I'm like, why would they post that? He was zooming in, and I guess the implication was, look, it's photoshopped on there. Really? Why? I don't know. Was that a joke that the co-op did on their social that we just did not get? Maybe.

Whatever. That's interesting. I thought so too. Yeah, it fooled me too, Randy. Or not Randy, Landry. It should be done somewhere. Somebody needs to – because those spirit Halloween signs are very stealable if you have the repelling equipment. If you have, uh, you know,

the repelling equipment, but you just get up there on the roof. The implication there is that we've gone out of business. And why, why would a, why would a store do that? Like, why would they self own like that?

I don't, it's that, that's what I don't get. So maybe, maybe the joke's on you, Landry. How about that? Yeah.

Yeah. Dumb idiot. I didn't mean that. All right. I'm going to go have some more coffee. I think you should. I didn't drink coffee during this Coffee Friday. I drank it right before.

You're an idiot. I pounded that coffee. Now I have to pee-pee. Thanks for sticking around for content, all of content week. Content week is ending, bud. For those who enjoyed Coffee Friday. Next week, we got a full slate. Spooky season three.
