Coffee's for closers only. You think I'm fucking with you? I am not fucking with you. I am not fucking with you. Coffee's for closers only. Closers only. Coffee's for closers only. I'm gonna cut you out.

Oh, yeah. Be my... Welcome back. Coffee Friday. My name's Will DeFreeze. Today's Coffee Friday is actually presented by our good friends at Alfa Romeo. If you're not familiar with the Alfa Romeo Tonali, it's an all-new vehicle. It's loaded with tech.

It's got the large touchscreen, safety tech, automatic emergency braking. But more than anything, these things are fun to drive and zip around in. It makes running errands just feel different. Different. It's that Italian craftsmanship that really gets me. It's so va bene. Inside and out. It's got that plug-in hybrid technology, too.

Think I don't know that? I know you know that. If you're trying to scoop yourself a Tenale, head over to AlfaRomeoUSA.com. Again, learn more about the Alfa Romeo Tenale at alfaromeousa.com. Dylan Chivry, ladies and gentlemen. It's weird because I told y'all that the hat wasn't coming off, and I feel like no one believed me, yet here I am with the hat. I slept in it last night, by the way.

Really? Yeah. It bounced back remarkably. It did. Untouched. I slept sitting up as to not affect the hat. Oh, okay. Yeah. Don't you normally just sleep sitting up anyway? Yeah, it's pretty weird. People think it's quite strange.

Man, what a night we had last night. I'm happy to be here. I'm a little bit hungover, but we're cooking anyway. This is our first ever live stream of circling back in the studio, which kind of feels a little nerve-wracking, if I'm being honest. Why? Because we're live. You think Brett's going to say something that's going to get us canceled? Brett Merriman, the magic bullet. Do we have a mincey dump button available, just in case? Yes, we do. Randy has

built in a dump button, but I don't think we're going to say anything inappropriate. I was scouring. I'm way too hungover to be doing a live broadcast right now. Are you able to put the camera on yourself too? Oh, yeah. Hi, folks. No one wants to see you. Oh, hey, Jaybon's in the chat. We can interact

with the chat. This is a fun thing about doing a live stream. Yeah, who wants to man the chat? I'll man the chat. Brad's going to man the chat. We also have a special guest in studio that was not planned. He kind of walked into the studio about 30 seconds before we started recording, so we just told him to sit down. Let's welcome good friend of the pod, James, to the program.

I don't have the camera. It's just our buddy James. Yeah, we're just vibing with James. Get closer to the mic, James. There it is. You got to swallow that mic, James. We talk about you quite a bit, or we have lately. Yeah, Randy sent me uh

the patreon episode from yesterday and oh you're giving oh wow that's you're just giving out episodes for free to people randy here's the thing don't you and i have beef you said i would freeze up on a pod i wasn't sure because you're you're a funny guy. When you put someone in front of the bright lights, it's a whole different ballgame. It is. I used to freeze up when I first started doing this. Little bitch. Good camera work there, Randy. They used to call me Mr. De-Freeze Up.

James, man. Dude, what a time to be alive. So, James, you want to explain why you're actually here today? Yeah, I am picking up supplies to make jello shots. That's my guy right there. That's my dog. I have a lot to do tomorrow for the Merriman Cocktail Christmas. No, excuse me, the Merriman Christmas Cocktail Hour Plus.

And I asked James if he would make jello shots for me today because I don't have fridge space to let them sit. So I'm hoping James does. In all fairness, I don't know't have fridge space to to let them sit so i'm hoping james does in all fairness i don't know if i have free space to let them so we might be just doing uh liquid jello shots tomorrow sweet sign me up thank you for helping james i mean of course hey can you scoot this way a little bit more and yeah and square up a little bit better wow do you want to square up if you're gonna be on camera let's get you on camera all right there we go now we're talking i want to square up with you i like you yeah i think you to square up? If you're going to be on camera, let's get you on camera. All right. There we go. Now we're talking.

I want to square up with you. I like you. You would square up with him. Not with James. Do you guys want to reveal the name of your group chat? What is this? The James Randy Dillon group chat? Yeah.

Dave Randy. I know the name of this group chat. Will wants to be in Sobad. I do want to be in Sobad, but I don't play Fortnite. You got to hop on the sticks, man. Yeah, you can do it. I got to get my Fortnite grind on. When I set up my new TV situation when we move, I'll make sure to prioritize the PS4.

Or the PS5 I'm getting my son for Christmas that he definitely won't know what it is. Are you really? It might. I mean, I'm not going to let him open it. But there might be one acquired around the Christmas season in the DeVries household. Maybe I should tell Parks to ask for a PS5 for Christmas from Santa Claus. He would probably play it though, right? He's down.

He's on the sticks. He's on the sticks right now. No, I mean, not right now. Like right now? No, he's at school right now. He's alive? Yeah. Dude, he should just drop out and be a streamer.

Start early. He dropped in with James and Randy one night. Yeah, that's's cool i know a small media company that could use a streamer streamer yeah let's just set him up he might do like absolute numbers yeah what kind of cut does parts get of the youtube revenue let's see about it i don't know just a little 529 so he's a tough negotiator put the man through college he's a tough negotiator people forget that i live stream pokemon snap on valentine's day dude why would you do that because i don't know it was the day before the austin freeze too so like three hours later i lost power wow did you catch them all i i caught them all who which one of you jerks told me the other day that you wanted me to name five Pokemon,

and I absolutely drummed on you. Who would it be? It would be Randy. It would be Randy. Can you name five Pokemon? Can I name five Pokemon? Yeah. Charizard, Wartortle, Squirtle, Pikachu, and Charmander.

Okay. Damn. That's good. Dude, I'm different. I different i'm different dude that's why you got backwards i had one single i had one single pokemon game who just won yellow it was a blue version actually i like the color blue more than yellow i didn't with that nerd it's not nerd dude we all did it like you're the you're the only person that didn't do it nerd It's not nerd shit. We all did it. Like, you're the only person that didn't do it, nerd. I think I was too old for it. I think you were, too.

Dylan was just playing Pokemon Go still, though. Dylan, you did download Pokemon Go. You were walking around the Grand X offices trying to catch him. Everyone in the world downloaded Pokemon Go for, like, those two weeks. I didn't do it. It got really popular. Summer of 2016. You were walking around on, like, the top floor of the parking garage next door looking for

a pokemon i got hit by a car crossing the street chasing uh blastaways walking up and down 360 westlake boulevard man this is fun i'm glad we're doing this how's everybody feeling not great not great yeah it was it was a realization this morning i i did everything i could when we got home last night i drank a bunch of water i took too many Advil and I woke up and I was like, damn, like I thought, I thought I was going to get this. And so I took more Advil this morning, but like, and I started recounting everything. I had five different types of, I went, I went full Randy last night. I have five different types of liquor at the dinner alone. All frozen drinks though? No, no frozen drinks. Five had a an old-fashioned to

begin and then you and i ordered a crisp lager oh yeah and then we had red wine and then an espresso martini or i guess so i had four at dinner and then i had a margarita at the uh the mexican restaurant we went to after yeah i was on that same schedule i was aggressive for you to go marg at that the next yeah but i Yeah, but if I've never been to a Mexican restaurant, I need to see what their marg's all about. How was it? I think that's fair. It was good.

It was good. They did the big flaky salt. It was real lime juice, too, at La Popular. I hope it's real lime juice. I mean, it's very real. It's like a $17 margarita. There are some eaters at the bar with us, too. James, what's your stock margarita order?

Basic marg, honestly. Everybody knows James. House marg? He's knows House Marg. Sir, would you like salt on that? Yeah, no, just give me a margarita mix, honestly. Ooh. Oh, James. Just kidding. Wow. Dollaritas for James. Yeah, Dollaritas. No, I think if we're talking about

local Austin Margs, right now the De Nata Marg has me in a vice grip, dude. I still have never been there. That thing will throw you after a while. They got that Tahin rim too, dog. Oh, yeah. We were there last week. Right before the Boiler Room hot set.

It was a crazy event. I need an invite to the next Boiler Room set that y'all hit. It looks like my worst nightmare. No. Dude, we don't have room, Dave! What? I can give up my mind. It looks like my worst nightmare. No. It was. Dude, we don't have room, Dave. Oh, what? Damn. I can give up on you.

Oh, man. Dave, that boy just rolled in. We're going to have to kick James off. James, get up. James, get up. I want to hear about his margarita. Wow. What a surprise.

Dude. I'm going to take my seat. No, no, no. Bye. I just need to use the bathroom and leave. Hey, man. Dude, you look great, Dave. It's this thing on?

Yeah. Hey. Dave's nervous. It's been so long. Yeah, Dave. How you doing, Dave? Someone in the chat just said, I have new baby eyes, which means I think like just tired. I think I look worse than Dave right now.

Dave has been i borrowed some of the lists uh she's got these eye drops and uh what they do is they are vasodilators i believe and they get the redness out also some under eye stuff that i've been using i had to put that on before i took my son to school this morning because i didn't want the teachers to know that i drank uh probably six different types of alcohol last night. How are your eyelids doing? The eyelids? Oh, you're talking about because of my...

Your... Eyelidoplasty? Yeah. And my ball sacoplasty? Your goochoplasty. And you had a... It was a double whammy. The opposite of what a BBL is, too, you had.

What's the opposite of what a BBL is? Because, well, you were too thick, so they had to take it down a little bit. Yeah, they took... Yeah. They took that. What they did was... took the collagen out of my buttocks, and they turned it into peptide pills that I've been taking. And that's why I look like I've lost five years in age.

Wow. It's kind of interesting. It's a new, it's cutting-edge, state-of-the-art stuff. I'd like to congratulate you on your acquisition of a second blood boy. Yeah, dude. I can't wait. So they don't let you start getting the blood till they're three months apparently so we're just waiting okay that's sick dude hey

that's a cool hat james thanks dave look at james man james on the mic were you expecting james in here um i none of us were honestly no and then i i was driving up lamar and i had the show on i was uh watching or listening because you know i don't text and drive sure i was driving up lamar and i had the show on i was uh watching or listening because you know i don't text and drive sure i don't i you i don't youtube and drive either and then i heard james i was like oh that's cool hey will can you hit the record button on the broadcaster yo can you hit the record button they have a dumb yeah i can hit the record button maybe i think i'll just end the stream what's on the delay so don't say no don't don't i'm not no i'm not i just test the delay david don't say the things that you usually say yeah okay we did our private room was was pretty pg last night i feel

like weirdly it was well it did become the most extremely hot private room of all time i didn't realize we had five cowboys in there but because it was just blistering in there i've never had a bad waiter or waitress experience at Carve. What's cool about – You guys went to Carve. Yeah. We live at Carve. It's cool about where that private room is located.

It's like – it's right by the kitchen and like the wait staff is just constantly just walking right by. It sets up nice for some engagement with the staff. Staff was digging us. Some of us more than others. Yeah. Some of us, I mean – We're going to – yeah. Should we just start talking about the highlights of the night?

Let's hear from our friends over at Early Bird CBD. Before we do, Early Bird gummies are a recreational hemp product that contain around 2.5 milligrams of natural THC and 12.5 milligrams of CBD in each gummy. These things are formulated for fun and to make you feel good. Randy takes one before he does his game show every time, so you know it makes him a little creative. But there's so many use cases for this stuff.

Took one before the dinner last night, too. Yeah, we know. We know. Really? In the boiler room. Told us all about it. Yeah, Randy took some before the boiler room as well. I know you had it like that.

If you just want a little buzz, I don't care if you're heading out, maybe just going on a little sleigh ride, or if you're maybe going out to have some Christmas cocktails and you want to get a little more lit, Early Bird CBD is the way to go. These guys are from Austin. They've supported us from the beginning. We absolutely love them.

But I'm going to do something right now that was pre-planned. And I don't know if it's actually going to work and so if you will hold on for one moment while I set this up we are going to call someone

who was on this podcast earlier this week you guys familiar with Michael Weiner? extremely yeah he's not going to pick up. He told me to call him. Let's just call other people. Hello, Will.

Oh, hello, Micah. Hello. Hello. Are you playing in a band made out of just pots and pans in your kitchen? No, I'm currently at the office. But it's great to hear your voice. Good to be with the fellas. Good morning.

You got the whole squad here, Micah. How you doing, buddy? Wow. I mean, I wish I was mildly hungover and with an upset stomach because I ate too much red meat and drank too much bourbon last night, but that did not happen. That's an extreme little sass reaction. Is he aware that we're live and anything he says is going to be broadcast to millions of people?

Micah, don't say anything xenophobic. Oh, hi, Dave. Congratulations to you. Let me be the first to congratulate you. Thank you, Micah. You are the first. On the part of your child. I appreciate that.

Tremendous. And to your wife. It's great. I'm happy for you. Thank you, Micah. You are the first child. I appreciate that. Tremendous. And to your wife, it's, it's great. Fred Angus, sir. It was great. Micah,

you said that you had some questions for us. Would you like to, would you like to lead off our discussion regarding last night's washed holiday party? What's with your first question? I would, but before we get to that, I do need to mention something that I forgot the other day.

When I was on the podcast, I shouted out the backers in my office, which included T-Bone, D-Man, and Will, a.k.a. The Beard. But I forgot about the number one backer. His name is Christian. So I shouted it on the podcast, but I forgot his nickname, which is C-Murda. C-Murda. So shout out to C-Murda. That's his nickname, which is C-Murda. C-Murda. So shout to C-Murda. Yeah.

That's good. Shout to C-Murda. Major shouts to C-Murda. Thanks for being a backer, C-Murda. And the other D-man said that he will still take Dave's back. But that's a whole other discussion. Dave threatened him once on the podcast about six months ago. He's back.

He didn't get it. So let's start with this. What is the minimum for a six-person dinner or five-person dinner in this case? Are you asking us to discuss our finances publicly? The minimum. I mean, yes. the minimum i mean yes i don't know if it's like a per it's it's probably a per person thing but it's it was one thousand dollars for the room okay a bad did you guys comfortably get to the minimum we we got there pretty comfortably yes thanks randy yeah you're welcome randy yeah randy

takes care of about a third of that himself usually so uh yeah we got was that was that wine or is randy just going rogue randy's a cocktail guy doesn't drink wine doesn't drink beer so he takes he takes advantage of the opportunity to order uh pretty much whatever he wants he goes straight to the signature cocktail list randy will you just tell everyone the list of drinks that you had last night just the the names of them. We don't need to know what's in them. We can tell by the name. So I started off with the Daiquiri Down Under. Then I did the Texas Tiki Dream.

And then I went to the Orange Mule. And then the Blueberry Fields Forever. Actually, no. Espresso Martini. Then Blueberry Fields Forever. And I also had half of Dylan's Espresso Martini. Randy had 380 grams of sugar last night. The first drink that Randy got, the daiquiri down under,

I expected to come in a giant glass with an umbrella straw in it, maybe a foster sticking out of the top. Instead, it came in a very small glass, and it looked like a very enjoyable cocktail. Randy pretty much slugged it down before the waitress was done passing out everyone else's cocktails and dave asked hey how was that and randy just slumped down in his chair looked at dave and said i hated it and it was like what's your problem dude yeah did it come surrounded by

a blooming onion no that's a different establishment that does that you had to pay extra i don't understand why it't understand why it was down under. He sucked that drink down in like one minute. Yeah, it wasn't a mind eraser, Randy. It was a daiquiri. I was ready to get loose, get lit with the boys. Sorry. Early bird and daiquiri just coursing through your veins, man.

Wow. I'd love to see it. What other questions do you have for us, Micah? I mean, the obvious question is, who made the most audacious steak order? Also, probably Randy, I think. I mean, Will and I pretty much had the same thing. I had the 14-ounce New York strip with shrimp on top, and you had, what, the filet with shrimp on top? I had a 10-ounce hand-cut filet with two grilled shrimp on the side.

They threw some shrimp on the barbie for me. I meant to ask. I was very surprised that a hand cut that filet. Yeah. Yeah. They have Jackie Chan back there just slicing. Is Jackie Chan the one that I said I could beat up? Yeah.

Old Jackie. Okay. Uh-oh. Brett clearly has something he needs to talk about. Well, I did at one point. This is, I think you were with me on this. I did try to order an old fashioned cherry smoked instead of cedar smoked. Okay. Yeah. So I have some notes regarding this. Micah, you've been to Carve before. You know, they have an old

fashioned that they smoke at the table for you. Yeah, of course. Brett requested a different wood for his drink to the waitress. And she looked at him like, I guess I can go see if we have cherry wood in the back. It's a fair request. I just prefer cherry wood smoked things to cedar smoked things, unless it's a salmon, of course, obviously. But I'm like, well, if you can cherry smoke a filet, which they do constantly,

maybe you can cherry smoke just a glass in the back. No one's requesting their own unique wood for their drink like you. Well, I did. I also tried to get the kimchi fried rice apparently that's the only only order of that in the last like six months also the nachos also on you went uh oh for two on off-menu items so yeah remember that remember the the exhale of happiness that we all had when she said they no longer made the kimchi fried rice we were like

okay we don't have to we don't have to waste one of the side orders on that. It's so good. I just realized five seconds ago that I left my leftovers in the Uber. Okay, Dylan also left his credit card at the bar after, didn't sign the tab, and just left the card sitting in the envelope. How Fred is that? I got you beat. I left my phone in the Uber, and Alyssa called it, and the guy brought it back. Oh, my God.

I don't know, dude. The funny thing is it wasn't like I passed out in the Uber. and Alyssa called it and the guy brought it back. Oh, my God. What's for sure? I don't know, dude. And the funny thing is it wasn't like I passed out in the Uber. The guy, he was telling me, he gave me his card. He's like, I do Premier Ubers and then I do some side driving for people. And he gave me his card. I was like, oh, for sure, man. I'm going to have to make this happen one day. Just left my phone in the vehicle.

Nice. Five stars. Did you tip him when he came back and dropped it off? Alyssa answered the door. She was like, just go to the couch. Lie down. And I did. Damn, dude.

That's where I slept. Just disarray. Yeah. Whole squad. Micah, what else you got for us? Did you guys order dessert? We didn't. Talked about it, but we didn't make it happen.

Espresso martini. Yeah, a round of espresso martini has covered the dessert for us. Which we did not need. Can I just be clear? Brett stared at his for like 10 minutes. I was in a bad... I was very full. I really wasn't feeling great. It doesn't pair well with prime rib, as Dylan and I learned.

The prime rib was gas good. None of you guys are going to get the espresso martini, well, expresso martinis. And then I ordered one, and then it got the ball going. But you guys weren't going to do it, and I was very disappointed. Well, our waitress bullied us into ordering one. Yeah, she wanted that. Oh, yeah.

That probably was like a 10% increase in her gratuity. The easiest sell for a waitress is tacking on more espresso martinis for everybody. Because once one person's like, all right, I'll do it, then it's like, well, I'm not going to sit here and watch everyone drink espresso martinis. She's like, one for everyone then, right? Yeah. We're like, I guess. I don't know.

I had half a Dillon's. Oh, yeah, you did. I didn't drink much of mine. Did you go out after this, Randy? Did anyone go to another location after the dinner? We went around. We didn't even leave the parking lot, basically. We drank beers in the parking lot. Yeah, we went to a place in the same strip center.

La Popular? La Popular. For one drink. La Popular? La Popular. For one drink. Okay, yeah. If you're just going to go have one more drink,

there's no reason to have an espresso martini post-dinner. I know. Yeah, like I said, it was probably... If you were going to Dirty Bills or something, that's a whole other discussion. I just have one last question. Did any backers show up at Car carve knowing you were there last night no the majority of uh people that looked into the private room were people sitting at the bar wondering why there were five dudes wearing cowboy hats sitting in the private room at carve yeah to be expected

i suppose when i walked in and sat down a woman at the bar looked at me, and she said, another one. I just looked at her like, how am I supposed to respond to you right now? Ma'am. Yep. Pleasure meeting you, ma'am. We may have gained some backers last night, or one in particular. Shout out to Brooke.

Yeah, Brooke. Major shouts to Brooke. Yeah, we got a We got a number last night No, it's not a we It's not a we, dude You know who got that number I mean, they Didn't specify

Randy tried to take the bill From the waitress As a joke She shut me down She swatted Randy out of the gym I missed that part And at first I thought Just because she could tell

That Randy was hammered So she was like Alright, I'm not going to Give this guy the bill. But then I realized that there might have been a little note for somebody in that bill. Yeah. Oh. Brooke, one of the lovely waitresses there, left, I guess it was me, phone number and Instagram handle.

Let's call her right now after we get off of Micah. I do have the – What's her at? I brought the piece of paper out here. I'm not going to share the ad. Send it. I mean, not for me, just for the listeners. I don have the, I brought the piece of paper out here. I'm not going to share the, we'll send it. I mean, not for me,

just for the listeners. I don't need to see the waitress of that, but probably not going to, probably not going to share her at live on Instagram or YouTube like this. I feel like she actually, I mean, I don't want you to, but I do feel like,

like in the long run, she would have appreciated it. Yeah. I don't want you to only increase her. Yeah. Dr. Waitress. Yeah. I got appreciated it. Yeah. I don't want you to know. This will only increase her followers. You can't dock her waitress. Yeah. Micah, I have respect. I hear you.

Thanks, David. Do you think that this waitress will go down in history like Sad Vanna did? Oh, like, dude, that's the Hooters live blog. The original. We're still talking about eight years later. Man, that was a great day we did live vlog at Carve Night

that's the most hungover I've ever been uh at a Hooters famously also after the Christmas party the Grand X one right mm-hmm

yeah I don't know why but I always commit to content uh especially live content after Christmas parties which is not something I should be doing

it's really not a very will to freeze thing no no just really mainline your anxiety and adrenaline mm-hmm should be we should be doing. It's really not a very will to freeze thing. No, no. Just really mainline your anxiety and adrenaline should be, we should be doing the opposite of that. Man. Cool.

What else you got for us? Well, I'm going to get back to work here at least point funding group. So if anybody needs some equipment financing, you know where to find me and y'all have fun. Sorry. I couldn't make it last night. Fellas. Bye-bye Micah. And y'all have fun. Sorry I couldn't make it last night, fellas.

Bye-bye, Micah. Micah, we love you. Shout out to Sea Murder. Yeah. Shout out to Sea Murder and bye-bye. Bye. James wants to know. We're fielding texts from the studio here. Our live studio audience, James.

Is she an eater, though? Oh, that's a good question. Hard to say. Probably. Probably an eater. I do have a couple notes here from last night that need to get brought up. First and foremost, Randy's outfit.

Yeah. Do you have any thoughts on Randy's outfit that he wore? Yeah, never been done before. Yeah. Never been done before. Full cowboy outfit. Randy, can you you put us the photo on twitter from the circling back feed up on the screen real quick so uh we have some reference

here he had the hat and the boots and then he hit us with a christmas like a corny christmas vest sweater vest over the over the plaid cowboy shirt and a belt buckle sticking through the bottom of like the little opening. But then he also had, he also had like almost tinsel on the shirt. Yeah. So it kind of looked like a Christmas tree. And then his cowboy hat was so large on his head that it was pushing his ears down. It was just resting on his ears the entire time. Look at Dave's pose in this picture.

He crushed it. I know. i absolutely bricked the pose here i should have been standing like you guys with my hands in my pockets showing off my belt buckle the lighting was a little hot yeah yeah i think dave understood the assignment um another note that i had was uh dylan dylan you requested a martini at one point and it went from being dirty to absolutely filthy do you want to discuss i don't know what happened there what i think i 12 ounce martini it looked like the trinity river and i can i might be able to take some credit for that because when he ordered i go oh he wants it filthy and just kind of like out of your shot but i think she picked it up she definitely did she thought does she think i said that i think that must have

been what happened because it was the filthiest martini I've ever seen in my life. That thing was brackish as hell. The guy who brought it to us, the guy who brought it to Dylan said, here's your filthy martini. And I said, okay. I just wanted it dirty. But I drank it. Yeah, it didn't look great.

Because I was on a frat. Yeah. I didn't drink anything. It looked like, you ever see those videos? I don't know why you would, but like when a farmer's water gets screwed up because they're fracking nearby. It looked like frack ever see those videos? I don't know why you would, but like when like a farmer's water gets screwed up because they're fracking like nearby. It looked like frack water. It did. So.

Should we sell that? It tasted like frack water. Dude, yeah, frack water sounds good. Yeah. That's like a new like energy drink. Yeah, dude, let's do it. Okay. I don't hate it.

Okay. Why don't we just do, why don't we make like really strong coffee, call it frack water, and you're sipping that midnight oil. Dump this so we can do this.ack water and it's you're sipping that midnight oil dump this so we can do this it's already live oh yeah we got it we got like a 12 second delay we do somebody's commented on this photo and said this was telling my kids this is the gop of yesteryear it does go well in front of that that uh cow it's a highland cow dylan highland cow it looks like brett that's brett's spirit animal i do i do go back to that picture of last year every once in a while where i had the same haircut

yeah we've been in that room a lot of times now man what else you got will uh let me see uh i have uh uh brett just volume shooting hyper niche menu questions to the waitress to prove that he's a regular yeah it was just kind of obnoxious it was just two off menu questions to the waitress to prove that he's a regular? It was just two off-menu questions. That's all. I wanted the nachos. I'll talk to Mike at the bar. You did name drop Mike. You frequent car.

They swatted your shit to the second row. What was the other one? I know they have cherry wood here. The cherry wood, the nachos, and the kimchi rice. All three things. Did you not have the kimchi rice anymore? That it's a perfectly reasonable question it was very good he he commented on the wine list about oh i'm a big dow guy it was like okay that's just a perfectly normal no no no you you've been studying this you guys are over you're overplaying the hand

no i get it dude you wanted to feel important playing the hand. It's okay. We've been there. So I won best dress. What, dude? Nothing, man. I got your self-sacrifice. Ray, I don't know that you won best dress. I mean. You definitely made it clear that this was a bit.

Yeah. People were like, when we walked in, people were like, oh, these guys must be some serious hombres. They thought we were real oil and gas guys from west texas until you showed up so randy was like laying out i was like what what's the fit and he goes yeah i got this shirt yada yada yada just completely left out the fact that he's wearing that obnoxious vest yeah i just left it out yeah redacted goodwill find the problem with this photo here is a goodwill well it's a great goodwill find you can't see my belt buckle poking out through the sweater because my hands are in front of it

it's very much like your uh you're like fifth grade teacher during the holidays would wear that oh yeah yeah it's it's scholastic book fair during the holidays and that that flower was a mid uh mid-dinner edition because it was on the texas tiki dream and i put it in the hat oh yeah i forgot about that i'm surprised you didn't make it out of paper dude don't be why are you so jealous of my working on origami skills hey i just remembered a fun fact about me i've got uh rhodes um his christmas party at 3 30 at the school just just want to put that out there that um i got to figure something out i might have to get a beer you going to trip and fall in front of these kids, these toddlers.

You're going to get roasted. Are you feeling like so poorly that you might not get through it? No, I just know this is probably the best I'm going to feel today because like I'm kind of peaking and I know like 3.30, then that rolls around,

I'm going to be like tired and even more anxious. So it's not looking good. I'm surprised no one's cracked a beer. What's up that brett considered doing a guinness extra stout yeah if if there was more than one participant i would i would crack a beer let's do a beer all right i'll do a beer dave dave would you mind would you mind grabbing it dave you need to you need to crack the you need to crack the beer though i got you is there a lager in there no there's no lagers in there dude i want something light, cool. Can you actually smoke these beers with cherry wood instead of just cracking them open, please?

I mean, I would take one as well. I can't be the only one not doing it. That's okay. Oh, gosh. We're done hinged, man. Is it going to help? Is it going to help? Is the door open?

Yeah, it's going to be just fine, dude. Why'd they leave the door open? This is so bad. Here, while they're gone, can we hear from our friends over at Squarespace?

Thank you. You found me a lager. It's actually a Pilsner. I mean, it was the lightest thing we had. No, I preach. Last night, I was drinking whiskey. Mouth of fire. And then I had some beer for my horses.

Really? Yes. Yes, sir. Wow. You and I were the only ones that had the stones to order a Pilsner last night. Dude, I played by my own rules. Probably the most ones that had the stones to order a Pilsner last night. Dude, that was unexpected. I played by my own rules. Probably the most wild move of the night, honestly,

other than Brett doubling down on off-menu. It hit perfectly. Requests. No regrets. Man, I really wanted that fried rice. I was looking forward to it. You look very disappointed. Sneaky MVP of the night, uh cauliflower cheese sticks they were fine

oh calm down you know at one point they were sitting there next to the popovers and for me it was the juxtaposition between the two because here you have these these cauliflower cheese sticks that are, some say guiltless because it's cauliflower. Juxtaposed next to this popover, right? Look at him, Dylan, when he's talking to you. Do you understand what I'm saying here? I sat next to Dave last night for dinner. All the guilt in the world. This is the second time I've heard this exact spiel.

I didn't even talk to you last night. You said this exact same thing to me last because you have guilt and then you have right guilt less it was the yin and the yang it was just like the perfect um you dabble in both i did good for you i did yeah i'm a balanced man yeah so that's the end of my story they were fine they were fine they were fine it was the sauce it was the san marzano red fucking fucking sauce. It's so good. It's my favorite red sauce out there. Is Cars like secretly paying you to like just endorse them?

No, I just – I go there way too often. Get a Carvtat. No, I would though. Okay. That's not really – No, you wouldn't. You said no, but you would. Come to Carv.

I do not. I do not have a car i just i it's it is obviously too convenient for where i live to not to not go you're kind of moving the goalposts we're talking tats you want to get a tat or not a car you're the you're the only one of the stew that doesn't have one outside of will go today he's like do you have a do you have a tattoo today what's that do you have a person you use? He does. I got that for him.

James has a tat. I'm ready to get tatted. There's a few artists here in town. I said on the Watched Weekly today that the whole squad will be tatted by the end of 2024. Only two of you are missing one. I need to get a gram off today. It's up to me and Dave.

You think I'm not getting a gram off today? You should do a collab gram you guys should do a collab dude no that's the new heat collabing with your boys dude that's that's what that's the new trend you reach new audiences dude i've got a friend he's like a friend of a friend but we follow each other on instagram and he just got married he does exclusive joint posts with his new wife and i mean they're like he's like wife guy which mad love to the wife guys out there dude i love my wife you gotta just call him yeah imagine loving your wife what's this guy's deal but that's all he posts he doesn't do anything other than collab posts that's awesome lame shit i hope he's not watching dylan but it stinks baby dylan do you

think that you would have gotten more waitresses' numbers last night if your pants were absolutely sopping wet with beer? Yeah, big missed oppo not doing a pants beer last night. I just didn't want our waitress to have to deal with the cleanup of the pants beers, even though I would aim to get it all soaked into my pants. Right. Well, the good news is we have Brett Merriman's, what's it called again? Oh, the Merriman Christmas Cocktail Hour Plus. Yeah, that. We have that tomorrow.

So beers will be poured down my pants tomorrow for sure. Do we have any? What can we expect from the, what's it called? The Merriman Christmas Cocktail Hour Plus. Right. What's the plus intent? Yeah, why plus? It's more than one hour.

Is it team nitro? Oh, okay. Is there some off-menu items we can get? Yeah. No, it's very much what you see is what you get. What if I showed up with kimchi, what is it? Kimchi french fries? Fried rice.

Are we getting the cherry wood smoked old fashions? No, well, actually. I'll bring my tray. I do have a cocktail. It's an individual cocktail smoker. I do have cherry wood. So if you want a cherry wood smoked old-fashioned, you can actually make one, Randy. Okay.

As the host, I think you should make one. Aside from the 30 rack of natties that I'm bringing for pants beers, what else do I need to bring? I mean, I'm going to have an assortment of beer and then two batch cocktails. If you want anything outside of that, it's on your own. Okay. B-Y-O-B. But it'll be a cooler, a beer, and some batch cocktails. I'm going to bring a change of pants, too, by the way.

You should. We should do a pants beer. Yeah. You might need to. You've seen this guest list. Is it hot? It's a very good-looking group. Hey, you need to invite a carve lady.

Brooke? Brooke? Yeah, I don't want to. Yeah, B-Rock. Hey, I don't think I'm going to invite Brooke. Are you guys aware of Brett's really hoity-toity guidelines for dressing for this party? It's just cashmere encouraged. There's no guidelines outside of brand.

No cheesy Christmas sweaters. Only cashmere. Mostly for one person. Well, I was thinking about bringing the vest because he said no sweaters, but no sweater vest, but I decided to wear it last night instead. Just for you. Are we getting former club cool host and retail therapy co-host Barrett Dudley? The Dudleys will be there.

Okay. All I needed to know. Yeah. The Dudleys are going to be there. i needed to know yeah the dudleys are gonna be i gotta step something up you think i'm not wearing my hat i i i know you're wearing your hat you think i'm not gonna wear it you haven't taken it off dave he slept he slept sitting up last night my hat last night really yeah i'm not taking it off you think i am it's good i told you yeah do you have your your initials on it? No, I didn't do that.

You've been depressed. I could always do that. If I get branded instead of a tattoo, does that count? Ooh, let's get branded. Ooh. That's frat. Will, that was a nice hat you had on last night. Thank you.

It was my wife's. It was branded. Yeah, there were some comments about the size of my hat, and I will admit that I did wear my wife's cowboy hat because I wanted to go cowboy and not skew just Western dude. Hipster. comments about the size of my hat and uh i will admit that i did wear my wife's cowboy hat because i wanted to go cowboy and not skew like just western dude western dude walking through aspen trying to look like he's not from texas right i did see the comment on the size of your hat i thought that was funny it's just it's a it's a your wife's hat i need to get it i need to get

a real cowboy hat for real eaters. Real cowboy hours? Mm-hmm. Real cowboy hours. What does real cowboy hours entail? You know, you just get up at the, before the break of dawn, really. Oh, yeah. You get a full workday in outside. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

And then you hit the saloon. Brother, hearing you say that's like therapy to me. Then you hit the saloon at dusk. That's right. And you just drink until the next morning. Mm-hmm. Fall asleep on the ground with a log behind my head. That's right, partner.

My flask of whiskey and my horse next to me. That's right, brother. You're speaking my language now, hombre. That sounded real nice. What bar do you like to go to after? The Dick's Saloon. That's where you'll find me.

I'll be bellied up to the bar there. Whiskey shot and a hand-rolled cigarette. I've got a brand new concept coming your way, cowboy. Really? What's that about? It's called the kimchi casa. It's our hybrid restaurant. Everything's off-menu. We ain't got no menu.

Entire thing. You asked for it, cowboy. We might have the ingredients. Keep on guessing. Depends on the day, cowboy. You're known. We might have the ingredients. Keep on guessing. Depends on the day, cowboy. Keep on asking for stuff. Maybe we got it. We probably don't.

Figure something out. We don't have a very big budget. So quit asking. Quit asking. I'm so scared to take my first sip of this extra stout. Take it, dude. It's delightful, Will. Is it?

Yeah, it's pairing well with the... Celsius? Well, never mind. Randy and I got conned into ordering a beer at lunch yesterday. So this is my second day in a row where I've cracked an 1145-er. Also shared that he asked them if they had mead. Yeah, Randy and I have a regular Thursday lunch that we miss most Thursdays, but we did did it yesterday and we walk up to the bar and this place brews their own beer like that's what they do pine house pizza we could say yeah pine house and uh randy walks up and he's scanning the beer menu

and the guy's like what kind of beer do you like and i was like he doesn't like beer and then randy he's like yeah i'm probably gonna do a cider then there's a pause and randy just goes he he looks at me and goes watch this he goes do you guys have any mead and i was just like oh my god he's asking for mead at the the brewery and i did not expect this the dude behind the counter lit up he was the happiest person of all time to start talking mead with randy he was like i wish we had mead man and i started telling that i brew my own it was great are you bringing any mead to the uh yes he is he's bringing some clove mead i'm gonna bring my apple apple cinnamon uh mead that ain't way too clovey but he likes close so i'm gonna bring a little

i want to try it all right randy's always on his wacko shit he is he is really wacky trim back yeah dude i heard people let him hit because he's goofy oh that's right that's such a stupid reference it's a good one that's a good reference he's on his goofy shit you're just so goofy dude dude you know it uh brett dude what's the spread looking like at your place like uh texas i think is minus one and a half right now oh hey making your buffalo chicken dip for your party we're going buff chick dip that's not christmasy to me dude that's like for the july i mean i haven't made it this year yet because we famously didn't have a halloween party, are you going to make your seven-layer dip but withhold the two layers for yourself?

It's the five layers, much like the Feast of the Five Fishes. Shout out to Ryan. It's a joke for three. Yeah, I just thought of something. I meant to text Dylan. I opened Instagram this morning. I don't know if it was Twitter. You know the first video I saw?

I'm on my Dylan shit now. Some video of some guy and like uh and i think it's in ukraine or somewhere and he's uh the gore yeah he just walks into this meeting it looks like a city council meeting and he just starts he just pulls out some grenades and just starts pulling the pins and then just drops them what and i was like why did why is that the first thing i saw when i quit right no one's asking for this shit. I love the clank of grenades in the morning. God, that is like disturbing. I thought so too.

It immediately thought of you. Didn't you say you woke up with grenades this morning? Come on, man. You gotta jump on the grenade. That's not a character from Jersey Shore. Dude, who is that? I don't know, man.

I'm talking to't know, man. You're his cousin, man. That is fucked up. Pretty fucked up, yo. Yeah, I was messed up. Can I expose Dave? Expose him. No wedge salad?

Yeah, what? You're the wedge guy. I've been trending Caesar. They make a really good wedge, though. They do. And I have to say, the presentation of the wedge salad and the Caesar salad, it's very similar. It's lovely. But the wedge comes with that piece of- I'm probably going to drop the J word on us.

What's that? Jumpman? Juxto. No. They're actually very similar. You saw how, like, the- Don't try to shoot one in juxto. No, they're actually very similar. You saw how like the – Don't try to shoot in juxtaposition stuff, dude. It's weird.

Yeah, you're kind of doing a little bit much. I'm sorry. I don't mean to call you out on the live stream. You're laying this out real thick. I'm sorry. You got the hat thing going, which I love for you. I got Brooks digits last time, which is kind of riding high at the moment. You know how it is.

For those probably wondering, like, Dave, you've got like a nine-day old baby at home you know you shouldn't be here hung over drinking against that mother-in-law is in town so oh so you got reinforcements got a little bit of a leash that one's judging you no i'm just imagining you know yeah the chat's actually like dave why don't you just go home yeah well for me it's kind of the juxtaposition between what's going down here at the office and what's going down at my home. Right. You know what I mean? No, I have no idea. Very different vibes.

Okay. Sure. You used it kind of correctly that time. That's good. Anybody have any appetizer requests? I'm still taking them, honestly. Any lettuce wraps? Any treats?

Any dessert? Yeah, there'll be treats. What? Don't do lettuce wraps. They won't be homemade treats. You know why I can't eat lettuce wraps any treats any dessert yeah there'll be treats what don't do lettuce there won't be homemade treats you know why i can't eat lettuce wrap yes we can't make lettuce wraps for dave it's it's within three minutes i'm not kidding my first day with my college girlfriend i was in the bathroom five minutes later i don't think you can make like finger food lettuce wraps you know like you kind of need a big leaf of lettuce. I could try.

You just need a head of lettuce, Brett. Yeah, but each one is different. You already got a nice one, dude. Oh! I do. I think they're like that big. I guess I could. You want to do some wings? No.

Ants on a log? Why would I do ants on a log? I'm not doing that. Randy, will you tell everyone you had for dinner the other night? He had the Fritz special. It was leftover chicken, a handful of blueberries, and then celery and peanut butter. That was my dinner.

He's on that game grind, dude. Is it a boy dinner? It's a wacky dinner. It was what was available, and I had James barking down my throat to get on Fortnite. James does bark a lot. I need to get on Fortnite.

James is always barking in public. He wanted to cook on the sticks. Yeah. Yeah, I did want to cook on the sticks. Dude, my favorite moment last night was Dylan barking at Brooke. I couldn't help it. I've never seen somebody shoehorn in more hearts into her name that doesn't have an I. Dude, at one point, he was on all fours in front of the entrance

of the private room, pawing at the window. He ran into the door one time because he was looking around. The manager, they thought we had a dog in there. Like, you can't have dogs in here. We're like, no, it's, yeah. I started scratching your bag

and your legs. Hit that tickle spot, dude. Oh my goodness. Great dinner tickle spot, dude. Oh, my goodness. Great dinner. We're having fun. It was fun, man. It was a good time. Can we hear from our friends at PrizePix,

the largest daily fantasy sports platform in North America? DFS? You mean the most exciting way to play DFS? It's just you against the numbers instead of battling thousands of other players, including pros and sharks. You pick more than or less than on two to six players' stat projections and watch the winnings roll in. This is actually more fun for me than actually doing like actual sports betting.

Or not actual sports betting. But it's more fun to do like these kind of like player-centric things than it is the spread. Players. Players. With basketball season here, you know Wemby's on his grind right now. Pistons lost 20 straight. It's not looking great.

Are you celebrating that? I think it might be time for the Pistons to start selling. Relegation battle. But you can now pick combo projections across football and basketball from the Specials League, a league created specifically for combo projections that includes two or more players from different sports or leagues. For example, you can do LeBron James and Travis Kelsey

at a 10.5 combo of three-pointers made and receptions. Ooh. I like that. I like that. Yeah. But you can even play alongside some of PrizePix's favorite players, like rapper Meek Mill. Ever heard of him? Championships.

Dreams and nightmares. It's a juxtaposition. You can even do it with comedian Andrew Schultz. Oh. That's a good one. That's a good one. That's a good one. You can now find community plays under the promos tab in the app

and to view entries from some of the biggest names in PrizePix community each week. And PrizePix offers a reboot policy so that your entries can stay in play even if one of your players gets injured. For football and basketball games, if you have a player who exits the game in the first half and does not return in the second, that player is rebooted! PrizePix is the only daily fantasy

sports platform with an injury insurance policy. That's a beautiful thing. Go to prizepix.com slash steam. Use code STEAM for a first deposit match up to $100. Again, go to prizepix.com slash steam.

You don't remember. I'd seen it before, but I don't remember what happened. Return of the King is what we're calling it when you step back in the stew. Damn. Oh, that's very nice. Hey, that's a nice comment. Hey, you're welcome. I'd like to shout out the person

Number three, Dean Martin. Dude, you're hitting the big ones. I think that's a... If you're going to start with the basics for Classic Christmas, and I didn't want to do

a compilation of it, that was the way to go. Why did you say it like that? A compilation. You definitely said compilation. You said compilation. Stop saying it like that. Do you play these compilations in your Discman? Compilations.

It's a compilation where you can get like the best of Christmas, whatever. It's good. Yeah. So that's what we're spending tomorrow night. You have speakers? I do. I might, barring the availability at a local record store, I might be giving the gift of vinyl to you at your christmas party a little

Flip the Vinyl Duty. Okay. Flip the 33. I'll bring the Limp Bizkit record I got. The quality is not that great, Will. I don't know if you know about that. You got to be careful with that, dude.

It sounds like it was from a digital recording and not the soundboards. I was a little upset by that. Good pressing, though. Pressing is solid. How much sighted for it? Are we going to do predictions? Oh, it's on here. Yeah, for what?

For Brett's party? Yeah. Oh. I don't know. I mean, here's the thing. How big is the guest list? We're looking between 35 to 45 in my house tomorrow night. That's big.

You can turn into the stack cup. I don't know what you guys call it down here. Is it too late to exchange the table for a tiny desk? Yeah, probably. Probably. I don't know where I'd pick one up. Did you have to hit up your keg guy? No, but it famously only takes four delts to finish a keg.

So Randy, that's a Randy John. I finished myself. I'm just so proud. No kegs. They'll just be a cooler with beers. Sick. In it. Unfortunately, no Christmas ales from Anchor Steam because they don't fucking make them anymore.

No. See, that's the thing, man. It would have been a total game changer. So the squad's absolutely buzzing today, not just because of the holiday party last night, but we had the absolute pleasure of welcoming a new food truck to the food truck lot. Bagel and coffee. This thing pulled up yesterday. It's like a pink 50s style trailer and my first concern

Bagel. Stop. They won't scoop it, bro. The menu looks incredible. And bagels, like signature Sandy's, too. I know. They look delightful. And an extensive coffee offering as well.

They got jalapeno bacon cream cheese. That's cowboy shit, dog.

it let's do a washed fest ski trip we'll get dj and pete we did klein you do a meetup and break i read the newsletter today subscribe sub stack and will will was pretty adamant that this thing's happening 2024 what out of state meetup out of state yeah we're doing an out-of-state meetup we're doing chicago is the betting favorite i think. We're doing it. I mean, Chicago is the betting favorite. I think we need to do the charity thing, bro. Dude, I have a wild boy. Share it. You shared it with me yesterday.

I have a wild boy idea. All right. I want to do Vegas. I think we announced it like two months before. Everyone gets together, and we can just all convene in Vegas, and we just have a bunch of backers rolling around the casino. That would be really fun. Can you imagine rolling by a bunch of blackjack tables with just filled with backers? It'd be really fun. Can you imagine rolling by like a bunch of blackjack tables with like just filled with backers?

It'd be so fun. Vegas, baby! We could all, dude, we could do a meetup at the bartender's place. No! Wow! Cosmo?

Okay. Yeah, we can go and see the Cosmo bartender. Okay. Who are the most, I want to be at a blackjack table with like Raptor and Fulton Oil and Gas.

We're not even sure Raptor's still with us. Maybe Dylan. Yeah, he went to Columbia like six years ago. I haven't heard from Fulton in a long time either. He'll be there Saturday. He's been working the rig from six till midnight. He's been on its grind.

Really? Yeah. Yeah. Can we gamble with company money? No. That's what we do every day, Dave. I'm serious, though. Vegas is an easy place to fly to.

Vegas, baby. Can we go play Paiute? I'm serious though Vegas is an easy place to fly to Vegas baby can we go play Paiute this has nothing to do with Deading Company announcing the not announcing but the possible

residency I told you I would go to that anyway yeah I'll be there just FYI when that drops I'll be recording from Vegas for a week

hey Dylan I would go to that irregardless of I'm not taking this bait Dave us doing a meet up there okay that sounds cool man okay regardless of... I'm not taking this bait, Dave. Us doing a meetup there. Okay, that sounds cool, man. Okay.

Compilations. Where do you want to go for a meetup, dog? Vegas would be fun, but I think Chicago is still the place. That's the chalk answer. Where's your one-off? Somewhere in the mountains. It's close to Denver.

We have a pretty large contingent. We do. Shouts to Fly Fish and Charlie and Bad Country Jack. We have a big turnout, though. You know that video of those dudes having the punk concert in the subway? What if we did that at the guys' Firehouse Subs?

What if we got Turnstile to play at Firehouse Subs for the boys? What the fuck's up, Firehouse? Do you think they'd take our credit card points as payment? Oh, we have so many points. Yeah, we got a lot of points, dude. We could probably spread them across the back using point.me. Is it a read? No.

Wow. We're doing no reads, just vibes now. We could all fly on points, probably. Dude, Vegas. I can't believe we're doing no reads, just vibes now. We could all fly on points probably. Dude, Vegas. I can't believe we're doing Vegas, dude. Vegas, baby. Let's do Reno. Okay.

Tahoe? Why? Because the bunny ranch is closer? How do you know that? Sick pervert. What's a bunny ranch? I've never heard of that. What is that?

They just ranch bunnies there. Let's go buy bunnies. It's a pet ranch. That must be a really successful breeder. They pump them out, man. I saw a video just a second ago of a bobcat taking down a little rabbit on a golf course. Jesus, dude. Damn.

Dylan said back in college he was a bobcat who was taking down bunnies. Oh. That's right. I was in a fret. Okay. Shout out to Luke because he just goes, please not Vegas. That'd be fun 24 hours alright fine

we're not doing Vegas Vegas is over I like the idea of the charity aspect yeah but we have to so the idea here is we do a predetermined list of like 10 cities

and then you donate to your city and then we donate all the money to charity but whoever whatever city gets the most donations

we choose their city we choose their city yeah but like what if like College Station wins and then we donate all the money to charity. But whatever city gets the most donations, we choose their city. Yeah, but what if College Station wins? No, that's why we... We choose the list. Just to prevent ourselves from having some random dude from wherever just go to this small town. I think that would be funny. It would be really funny to have a meetup in a small town.

We could have fun in College Station. Everybody knows. I'm that small town kid. I'm scared I'm going You could have fun in College Station. I was, that was a, everybody knows. I'm that small town kid. I'm scared that I'm going to get beat up in College Station. I'm a real cowboy. I love College Station. I got COVID at College Station, but I loved it. It was fun.

I want to go to a game there too. Kyle Field. Kyle Field. I've only been to a wedding there, famously. Who's Kyle and how do you get this field? Did his dad like buy it for him? Yeah, good question yeah yeah it's frat they buy players over there all the time you know what i'm saying that's frat

do they have a coach yeah mike elko yeah former duke coach see one of the elko boys who are they they're like the rival of the nelk boys oh remember who was uh like that one who's the baseball player is it tim elko Who are they? They're like the rival of the Nelk Boys. Remember, who was the baseball player? Is it Tim Elko? Tim Salmon. Tim Wakefield. Anaheim Angel.

California Angel. Yeah. Back then? I kind of like that name. Dylan, you're the only person that has the name of a baseball player. His name's Tim. Tim Anderson. Did you see the Angels posted their opening day?

Oh, you're up. You're up, dude. You're up. Ooh. Grand X lawyer Tim Cleveland. Go support him in Austin. No, we shot at Tim. Big ups to Tim. Yeah.

The Angels posted their opening day. Like, what do y'all think of this opening day lineup or whatever? And everybody's like, it's fucking terrible. It's not good at all. It sucks. They'll suck last year. You lost your best player are you angels fan james no you're giant he's whoa dude you're in hell but bocce got one brett told me this morning another one brett told me this morning that he's actually um gonna defer 98 of his salary for the rest of uh his career here so that we can get more talent nice

no i mean i still did the two percent and then it's like the deferred but yeah it all comes live at some point so he's got a budget for that it was a failed talent joke that i made i stopped it i know and i tapped you like i made the reference and i didn't so Okay. Full transparency. I wish you landed it. I didn't even try. Okay. Yeah, damn. Shouts to RIP Tim Wakefield. I wanted to make sure we put that out there. Yeah, he gone.

Famous Tim. He died today? He died like a month ago. No, but I named Tim Wakefield as my Tim baseball player. Dave was going for Tim. Tim Lincecum. Tim, that was mine, dog.

How'd you pronounce it? Dude, I love Lincecum. Tim Clark. Another good one. Yeah, there's some Tims. Good name. Should we just name baseball players? Let's just sit around naming baseball players.

Remember there was Ed Bream. Milton Bradley. Well, hit the button. Paul Ranger. Coco Crisp. I don't know what you're talking about. Home Improvement Button. Rusty Greer.

Was Tim Allen canceled? Did he get? He's always got something he's got gone he's always snitched this is the hottest sound drop we got going right now he moved coke i don't think so tim that's one dude what a sound drop people love it that's good yeah i put that on the board and haven't used it it's a good one i don't really know what to do with it if i finally paid off i'm gonna i'm gonna replace that with just tim allen grunts that's what no that was the original like soundboard for yeah we need more home improvement i don't know that we do why let's do a stream room podcast where we just break down every home improvement i don't i don't think that's good

You didn't want to see it? Okay. I just weren't ready for that. I didn't want to know. Macy Perry said, planning a fictitious trip is a total hungover move. That's what I laughed at earlier.

It's true. It's not wrong. It's very true. It's not wrong. It's not fictitious, though. We've promised an out-of-state meetup for like three years. We got to deliver this year. Who wants to be it?

All right. Who wants to be their rock? Who's the meetup czar? Dave's the meetup czar. No. Okay. Actually. Should we just have a 2024 planning meeting right now?

That's my rock. Okay. And I won't let your shiny objects interfere with this. Okay. Thank you. Let's just run back to douchebag bar crawl. Can we just make it? Can we North Star it by any chance?

Ooh. You want to. Oh, it's a North Star, huh? Yeah. We do have goals written. I don't know if you saw the whiteboard, Dave. Will wrote 2024 goals on it. Yeah. It's a free for all. One of them is Star, huh? Yeah. We do have goals written. I don't know if you saw the whiteboard, Dave. Will wrote 2024 goals on it. Yeah.

It's a free-for-all. One of them is bullshit on there. Yeah. Oh, wow. Brett said we're not allowed to Naruto run in the office anymore. We can't. There's no more Naruto running in the office. I feel like that applies to one person.

It does. Actually, you would think so, but it applies to two. Because Will Naruto run to the bathroom the other day. I had to go potty, dude. You did do that. You were really aerodynamic on the way there. Well, I saw Randy making a line toward the bathroom, and I was like other day. I had to go potty, dude. You did do that. You didn't get really aerodynamic on the way there. Well, I saw Randy making a line

toward the bathroom and I was like, no, I got to beat him out. So you almost did Messi in your nappy? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. You know, James knows what's up.

Yeah. But that's 2024, so I got all of 2023 to just as much Naruto running as I want. I was afraid of that. Okay. Anyway. Hey, I was afraid of that. Okay. Anyway.

Hey, I will put this together. I'm going to need some help with the charitable thing. We'll put together the list of cities. I have ideas of how to collect the money. Cash? Squarespace. PayPay? Actually, it is on Squarespace, yeah.

Very cool. Is this a joke you're lining up okay you think we would joke about squarespace.com slash steam though you would joke about collecting money let's name the cities right now no birmingham alabama should we do our like top 10 or we want to mix it up we'll do 10 what's our top 10 markets or do we want to like say hey we don't we don't have that we don't do big numbers in Oregon, West Coast. Unfortunately, we don't. So it's a destination.

We could force them to. We're probably going to cheat the system and only list cities that we would want to. Are we keeping it in our top 10s? That's not bad. DFO, dude. Top 10 media markets? You want to keep it to that? Yeah.

Okay. Media markets that are also good golf weather. Okay, so you have to take out the three. I think the Texas meetup is in the cards, regardless of... Irregardless. Right. We just did... The last one was Houston.

I think we run back Dallas. It's been four years now. It's pre-me. Okay. And then our other options. So we take take out those three which are all in the top 10 we're looking at atlanta we're gonna take austin that's where the players play though chicago we promise an out-of-state one that's what i'm going through our options right now so i'm saying maybe we'd take the texans ones off the board i did you did you did yeah they're no longer on the board, dude. If we do Chicago, let's do Summertime Shy.

Atlanta, Chicago, D.C., New York. What's that? Four? Then there's three. Denver. KC. Will JoJo be there? Nashville. Did you say Atlanta?

Brutal. Did y'all get smoked by storms? No. Because the other side of the state was getting like some big dogs. We were just vibing in folklore weather. Okay. You know what it means, dude. That was folklore weather.

It was folklore weather, dude. Gray was the color of the sky that I used to look up on vacation. We watched the Era's concert video. Is it good? Yeah. Brett said he's going to watch it next weekend.
