all right we're back circling back podcast live from the early bird cbd studio in austin texas my name is will defreeze my right dave rough y'all see this uh tiger who cracked her tooth and now she has a gold fang. They replaced it with a gold fang. Yeah. It's the most gangster thing in the world. Gangster. This looks tight.

Is Mike Tyson just scrambling to buy this tiger right now? I don't think he should be allowed to own tigers anymore. It's hard to say. And there's a picture of this tiger growling, I guess. Yeah, it's a pretty motivated tiger. Like a pretty gnarly growl. Like she's legit about to attack something. And her gold tooth is just out there just flexing.

She's only 125 pounds. Why gold, though? Isn't that a really soft metal? Could you tell? This is a Bengal tiger. I think this thing would just... No, I'm not trying to mess with a tiger. I don't know the hardness of metals. That seems like thing that brett knows way too much about on the low for no reason definitely not gold one of the ways you can test to see

something is actual gold you can like bite it oh you can like it'll make a mark in it yeah that's fucked up how annoyed would be if somebody did that brett mansplaining metals to us metals wait are we saying it's fake gold? I'm saying gold is not a hard metal. So it would be a weird choice. Yeah, gold is pretty soft relatively to

like a titanium or a palladium or something like that. Or like a cobalt. That's radioactive. You don't want that in your mouth. Dude, this is tight.

My wedding band was made out of cobalt. Well, I think there's an isotope of cobalt that you don't want to fuck with. An isotope of cobalt that you don't want to fuck with. An isotope of cobalt that you don't want to fuck with. Okay.

Yeah, that makes sense. Total sense. Total sense. How'd I do there, Will? That's pretty good. This cat was six years old? And it's only 125 pounds? Huh.

Petite. You want to know why they use gold? Yeah. Tell us. It's suitable for dentistry because it's malleable, nearly immune to corrosion, and closely mimics the hardness of natural teeth, thereby causing no harm to natural teeth during chewing.

Oh, so if I chewed down too hard, it could crack another tooth or something. Yeah, titanium would really... This actually makes sense. That does make sense. This makes sense. If you're going to bite down with it, you don't want it to be super hard.

Didn't Tiger Woods lose a tooth or something when he got in like the car accident i think it was a skiing thing what if he had replaced with a gold tooth would he be the biggest villain of all time that'd be so tight 82 wins with gold teeth yeah what if he just started wearing like wearing like a grill or something i wish it was more socially acceptable to have just like gold a gold grill Like if we all just walked around, like if you got Kanye's bottom one that he always wears. Yeah. Or just like a couple of gold teeth up front.

Just like, yeah, I got, I have fuck you money. I have gold teeth money. Lead the way. I don't even think getting a gold tooth would cost that much. Uh,

maybe, I don't know. Maybe like gold plated. Yeah. I think it's more of a vibe. You'd get white gold teeth. No, Rose gold only. I'm not a big gold guy.

More of a silver platinum guy. I used to wear a gold chain. So did Dylan. Did it hang low? Did it wobble to and fro? No, it just had a little metal on it. A little St. Christopher one. That's what's up. I had a little metal on it little saint christopher one that's what's up i had a silver chain for a while is that what don't you have one in your twitter bio

or sorry in your twitter photo yeah i do you can check that out at d shivery by the way c-h-e-v-e-r-e check out his header photo too i haven't wanted him to change that for a month yeah yeah i just need a good can we just change the logo on it to like a different podcast maybe yeah i just don't know how to the best way to go just photoshop it dude okay yeah just hop in oh yeah i do have a chain on it hey do you have anything you want to say to alpha dylan uh yeah i don't think he's alpha dylan that's what i have to say i think. I think he's a more beta version of me. But he has the tats. He has the tats and a full beard.

His hair's thicker, no offense. His jawline protrudes a little bit more. And he looks younger. So he tweeted at me yesterday, and I quote tweeted him, at Will DeFreeze on Twitter. And I didn't even think about it. When I looked at the photo,

I thought, man, this is like, seems familiar or something. And then it didn't dawn on me. I'm not a super recognizer like Dylan is. So I don't see like common faces all that often.

Then Dave swooped in and I was like, oh my God, that's the spot on take. This guy gives me five, seven vibes though. I'll just put that out there. He's going to hit back and it turns out he's like 6'4".

Dude, I hope he sends a photo or he's standing next to somebody. He's just an absolute tank. He does have a tattoo of, looks like the Grim Reaper sipping a cup of coffee, which, got to say, is pretty alpha. He also has some boxing gloves. Oh, yeah, he can probably scrap. Oh, fuck. Okay.

I need more info on this guy. You can't get boxing glove tattoos if you can't throw hands. Now, that's like getting Olympic tattoos if you don't medal. That's exactly right. He's got the gray going on up top more than you do, though. He definitely does. Yeah, he's got the wings. You don't have a dog with a turtleneck.

You got to pose for the same photo with the homie wearing a turtleneck. Do I? Yeah. You should dress the homie as Drake for Halloween from the Hotline Bling video. Drake? Drake? I don't think his classmates will understand that one. It looks like there's also an animal tattoo up the sleeve with some maybe pine trees.

Something going on? Yeah. What's this guy's at? Where can they see this? You don't get a boxing glove tattoo unless you're box it right

you can see this on your twitter this guy's at is at Joshua Dreher unless like your dad was a boxer and you're doing it to honor him yeah that's a possibility that's also

that's a very good possibility yeah I was gonna say I could take this guy until I saw that boxing glove tattoo just look him up see if he's got a golden gloves background i don't want that smoke now i just tweeted it from at circling back pod that was very nice of you yeah so now people have a they have a reference for this it's always good to give give a reference i i told you guys this

yesterday but i taught the homie the phrase, you want the smoke? And he can't stop saying it. Dude, this is going to end poorly. I'm telling you. Why? Because he's going to say it to the wrong person? And the teacher's going to be like, yes, I do want that smoke, Parks. Go to your desk.

Put your head down. No, it's innocent. He comes up to me with his fist up. He's like, you want the smoke? I'm like, yeah, dude. Give me all the smoke. What if somebody gives him the smoke that he doesn't want the smoke from he won't say it to the wrong person i don't even think other kids in the class are you trying to make him treat like preschool like

it's like the jail like he's gonna end up getting in a fight with somebody in order to like no one is no one else in a pre his pre-k class knows what that phrase means is gonna actually give him the smoke. What if someone goes up to their alpha dad and is like, hey, Parks is running his fucking mouth. Joshua Dreher's kid is in that class. Yeah. He's going to give Parks the smoke?

Yep. Nah, he's all right. Yeah, Joshua's son is like four foot two. He's huge. He also has a boxing glove tattoo on his arm. Yeah. I remember the kid who everybody wanted in like the first round of the draft in like fifth grade basketball. It was 5'2". And it was such a big deal.

They're like, dude, he is 5'2". He's huge. And he stopped growing at about 5'9", 5'10". Dude, one kid that hits puberty early changes your entire team. He was, I swear to God, he had male pattern baldness in like ninth grade. He was one of those kids. I always felt bad for him. We won a soccer tournament when we were in eighth grade.

And the only reason we won is because we scored two goals in the second half by just giving it to our biggest kid and letting him just toe ball it into the goal from distance. And we just knew he can kick the hardest, so let's just make it rain on him. There's nothing better than a well-placed toe punch. Everyone's just like, toe ball it! It just knuckles.

We call it the toe punch. Toe ball. I like toe ball. It's the worst thing you can do. Yeah, but... But when you're a kid... It's the hardest if you're a goalkeeper, and you know this because you're obviously a goalkeeper. Yeah. It kind of kn do. Yeah, but when you're a kid. It's the hardest if you're a goalkeeper, and you know this because you're obviously a goalkeeper.

It kind of knuckles. It can. And when you're that young, you have no control over it, so they tell you not to do it at all. But it's so hard when you're in middle school because it's the thing. It's the most fun. Yeah, it's the thing that you can do the hardest. Toeball.

Very true. Shouts to the Traverse City Tournament. Summer Solstice winners oh hell yeah i do dude it was gangster shit do we want to make an announcement right now i guess we shut up all these people are clamoring on reddit they're like do these guys have a plan do they have a plan for when spooky season is over they're putting it right now jeffrey epstein did not kill himself they're putting putting their own plans together. Are we doing a Jeffrey Epstein investigative podcast? Diff wrong announcement.

My bad. Oh, sorry. My bad. Are we doing this? Yeah, go for it, dog. All right. In place of spooky season. We got something.

Is there a drum roll thing? I don't think we have a drum roll. It starts the second. We've come thunder, however. It starts the second week of November, by the way. All right. Here's the drum roll thing? I don't think we have a drum roll thing. It starts the second... We've come thunder, however. It starts the second week of November, by the way. All right, here's the drum roll, please. Drum rolling thunder. We're replacing it with a series of podcasts called The Worst Of.

We used to do Worst Weekend Stories almost every Monday. We had a nice little run there. They were so fun. And so, after Spooky Season is over next week, we are going to start doing stories from every Monday. We had a nice little run there. They were so fun. And so, after Spooky Season is over next week, we are going to start doing stories from you guys. You will be sending them in, hopefully. We're going to kick off with some

worst weekends, but then we're going to make things a little more topical. The following Tuesday we're going to do the worst night before Thanksgiving stories. Which, as everyone knows, that's the most fun night to go out. You're still in that age demo. You're deep in that age demo.

God, I'm jealous. That was some of the most fun times. It's the line teetering between fun and just awful. Yeah, I'm right there. The night before Thanksgiving is the best night to go out. Did you know it's the number one drinking night 24 hours of the year? Yeah. More than 4th of July.

No shit. Yeah. It's the biggest bar night of the year in a lot of places. It's Wednesday. The night before, huh? Yeah, because everyone just gets hammered. Some of my worst hangovers come on Thanksgiving, and I will ride with the take that a Thanksgiving hangover is the best one to have

just because you have everything at your disposal to cure your hangover. This is getting me really hyped for Thanksgiving. Dude, Thanksgiving. I've puked two 5K turkey trots the morning after. I've never done a turkey trot. I did my first one last year. I don't think I'm ever going to do a turkey trot. With this plantar fasciitis I'm having, who knows if I can make it this year.

Stop it. It doesn't sound like plantar fasciitis. It really doesn't. Will, what else are we going to do? Week after, we're doing the worst of Thanksgiving. After that, once December hits, worst of holiday parties, worst of holiday travel. Then we're going to do some worst of Christmases and finishing out with the worst of New Year's Eve stories.

This is going to carry us all the way to 2020. Yeah. Yeah. Gotcha. Yep. This is, is let me see eight episodes in total that's what it looks like boom two months of content right there guys yeah um i've already got some stories backlogged if you want to send in your stories do so at worst of at washed media.com that's worst of at washedmedia.com because we're going to be getting a lot if you want to uh put in the subject line what story you're talking about so if you're doing a night before thanksgiving just put night before thanksgiving just for you know organizational purposes for your boys over here that'll help yeah i think i have like three

What are we leading off with today? You want to talk about this Delta Force dog? Let's talk about Conan the Delta Force dog. Let's talk about him do we have the the story on on his uh like what what did he do exactly to take this fella down um i think he essentially i think they sent the dogs in. Maybe it was just one dog. It could have been multiple ones,

but this is the one. Conan was the one that was injured to maybe smoke out al-Baghdadi. Maybe get him out of wherever he was hiding. He was captured, or not captured, I guess. He detonated a suicide vest in a tunnel. Hey. So maybe they were trying to send him down there

because they didn't want to go down first because they don't know what's down this tunnel. So a lot of times I'll do that Hey, here's some breaking news There's probably some people who are actually in the military who can probably tell me when you said that he was trying to smoke him Out I was like, oh so Conan was just carrying that loud. Yeah. Hey, guess what gonna blow a charge in his mouth Yeah, Conan is a female. Hell. Yeah, dude. Yes according to Wikipedia We stand a colony is a female military working dog in the United States Delta Force.

She is a Belegan Melanwa. No, according to this, it's not Belton. It's B-E-L-I-G-A-N. I feel like that's an error. It could be.

If it's a misspelling, this is not on me. Yeah, I'm seeing Belgian in Newsweek. I like Belegan. Belegan. So Belgian Melinois. Belegan. Okay.

Go off, Conan. That's tight. I didn't know Conan was a... We stay in a queen. These are those dogs that can jump out of the fucking gym. They're athletic as hell. They're the ones that when you see a dude's wearing the the bite suits and like they run and they just jump from like 30 feet away and hang on their arm oh it's

so tight um yeah no i i don't actually know how delta force utilizes dogs uh i never actually got a bid to delta force unfortunately it's unfortunate went through Rush, just didn't work out. I hurt my knee, blew my knee out, lost my scully. And you and the coach weren't getting along, right? Yeah, me and the leader, team lead, weren't getting along. But apparently the dog is slightly wounded but fully recovering, which is huge. This became a thing because our president did a tweet with a photo like so he declassified

the dog but he said he could not reveal the dog name so he didn't totally declassify it no but like normally they don't so they do that for um service members that are like uh active duty special special forces yeah they won't reveal the names. Yeah. It's classified. So Conan got the same treatment, which is, I kind of like that. Okay, according to Newsweek, Conan is a male. So I don't know what's going on here.

What was your original source? Because it's 0 for 2. Wikipedia. Yeah, Wikipedia. Dude, so do we stand a king or a queen, Dylan? We stand Conan. Wait, I feel like you can kind of see his tiny little dog penis. Let's check out the dick on this guy.

Did you just... Yeah, there's definitely a dog penis. Alexa, rewind. No, look. Hey, Alexa, go back 15 seconds. The moral of the story here is don't trust Wikipedia, folks. I feel like you can. Sometimes.

Largely. Sometimes. Here's the real thing, real issue. They need to, once everything's been declassified, and once you go through a vetting process, there needs to be a subscription-based Patreon-like program where I can pay money to watch video of these special ops raids. For some reason, I just feel like this isn't going to happen. No, it's not going to happen, but it should.

Did you see the cord situation in the situation room that they had? Yeah, what was going on there? Oh my God. The what situation? The cord. They released a photo of everyone in the situation room watching this happen uh-huh the amount of cords on the table is worse than our studio what what was hooked up what were all the cords i don't know i assume like secret ethernet cords and stuff like yeah hdmi cords and shit just chargers probably ip Probably iPhone chargers. I don't know. I hear

Pence is a real bitch if his phone gets below 50%. Like someone had the aux cord? Dude, Pence does not have an iPhone. Pence definitely has an Android. Trump wanted to watch the World Series on one too, so they had to bring that in. It's tough. Maybe so. Maybe so, Brett.

It's a Belgian, dude. A Beliege? Yeah. Look, it was It's a Belgian, dude. A Beleg? Yeah. Look, it was a misspelling on Wikipedia. Go ahead and Google it yourself. It's right there. Beleg. It's from Beleg area.

In Spooky Season, I didn't know the word. What was the word? Sconce? I didn't know what a sconce was. Well, I do know the word Belgian. It's just that it was misspelled. You want to go to Waffle House after this? Maybe get some...

Belegan Waffles? Belegan Waffles? It's not that funny. I'm sorry. Ah, not really. So the U.S. military launched the War Dog Program in 1943 to train dogs to serve in the military. Dogs have been helping the real ones for a long time.

So we have a listener. I think he may have dm'd y'all before he lives in louisiana okay he trains dogs military dogs and i think specifically for uh navy seals okay so he could probably give us i mean he'll probably shoot me an email uh i don't want to say your name you might be classified as well but you know who you are DM or email Dave at Washmedia.com let me know what's up if you know anything about Conan if you know if that is a tiny little dog penis

or what's going on there I'm going to start classifying things in my life no sorry Sally that's classified you know democracy dies in darkness that's what they say you got to think this is one of trump's only like overwhelmingly liked tweets right because people just shit on him every every time i don't know i haven't i haven't dipped into the responses to that and i

assume that there are several everywhere there were who. Who's the surgeon? There's like an Asian guy who's like a surgeon. He's like, he's another Krasenstein. Like, he clearly has Twitter alerts set up and like tweet drafts ready to go for whenever Trump tweets. I hate that entire like squadron of human beings that just replies to his tweets. They canceled the Kass bros though twitter did right yeah they they came back they've got a new account but it has like one ten thousandth of the following oh poor guys it's tough man you feel for him it's a big

win for the cheeto man we need dude to call in and talk about uh the krasenstein's is that how you say it i don't even know how to say it. I don't even want to justify them. They're saying that this dog chased the ISIS leader Baghdadi down a tunnel, leading him to blow himself up. Him and three kids fucked up. Oh, man. Baghdadi brought three kids?

Yeah. I hate to see that. That's unfortunate. The dog was injured in the blast but is now recovered and returned really it's saying it's returned to the line of duty with this handler i don't know about that i think i feel like he got a retired conan i mean conan might love what he does if trump is smart big if i'm not saying one way or the other but he needs to have this dog to the white house with its handler he needs

to award it the collar of honor the collar is that what they i don't know the kibble of honor kibble of honor what dude give it the give it like the the full treatment of a purple heart can we go through some uh some training exercise with it first and i want to just see this dog do work like take down you down someone in an open field and just do what it's trained to do. I would love to know all of the things that these dogs have heightened awareness of. What they can actually do

day in and day out. I bet it's mind-blowing. Dude, yeah. I would love to know more. So again, guy who I referenced a few minutes ago please let us know please hey do you think the uh oh my god are you what we might need to go here retired military working dogs are available for adoption through a program at joint base san antonio lackland

let's fucking go is that how you say it lack Lackland? Sure. I don't know. Preference is given to civilian law enforcement agencies, followed by previous handlers, and then the general public. What about people who have a dog named Randy? Yeah, your dad is in the armed services. Formerly. Can we just use him? He got me into USAA. I've got the USAA insurance, so I feel like that could translate to this.

They don't have ATM fees. It's true. That's like the greatest thing in the world. It is nice. It's not the greatest thing in the world. It's close.

It's nice to save a buck. When you don't have to incur an ATM fee, it's the best. You think all the other canines, like the ones that were on the Bin Laden raid

and stuff, are kind of watching from back home with their little dog arms crossed, like, huh, okay back home with their little dog arms crossed. Like, huh. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Okay. They have a side text going without Conan in it, and they're just like, oh, cool, dude. Yeah, Conan just super famous now. Dude, you know Conan just wants to get back to work. Yeah. He wants to get out there again.

Conan's like, dude, seriously, the spotlight's not for me. He got a taste of it, and he's just like, I got to get back in there. Fun fact not named after conan the barbarian named after conan o'brien huh you would think i mean you know all all signs point to the uh the hardcore conan of a barbarian but no conan o'brien noted late night comedian yeah former writer on the simpsons you conan guy where does he fall in your rankings of late night i used to be i'm not not going to be like super hipster and say i was really into him before he got like the big show but i did late 90s i was watching his late night like the original late night with conan o'brien yeah yeah i watched that

i haven't watched him in five years though no i don't watch any late night shows though if if there is one i'm gonna watch it's him but why would i why would i stay up late to watch those when i can just see the highlights the highlights the next day on youtube i don't understand why that yeah people even do late night shows anymore has there not been a female late night host yet? God, has there not been? Not really. On Comedy Central? But like, I'm talking about like a big network.

It seems like they would have given a big, like late night. They apparently offered a big late night show to Chrissy Teigen and she turned it down, which is not the worst thing in the world. I would not have watched, but. No. She's not a comedian. So like, I don't know how well that could have worked.

A lot of people were funny on Twitter, but not in real life. Yeah, like she... Look at me for example. You need stand-up comedian moxie when you go on... Give me Amy Poehler. Yeah, she could do it.

I don't think she wants that grind, though. Ellen kind of has one, but it's not a late-night show. True. You had Ellen and Oprah. Yeah. It's like they give the daytime shows to women and the prime time to men i believe it's called the patriarchy will yep

dylan what do you think about that i think we should flip it on its damn head yes yeah you sound really positive about this dylan i don't want to talk about the patriarchy yeah dude yeah you're a big patriot i'm not a big patriarchy guy got any more Conan takes O'Brien or the the dog both um Conan O'Brien no not really that doesn't shock me he was all right he was all right I was never a big Conan guy but I caught it every now and then he used to do some of the best bits like uh he did a robot pimp back in the day i don't remember robot pimp um yes really good is history gonna look fondly on robot no uh no no no no no i believe one line was i've got some

hoes in the trunk okay but it was in a robot voice that was funny at the time it's a different time the trunk hey how much would you pay to watch video of this raid? Like if they're like, dude, I'll send you the file. Via body camera? Like body cam? Yes. No. CCTV.

Well, I'm just wondering about the production value of this, is all I'm saying. I'd pay a good amount. Is it an HD? Shut up, Dylan um i'd pay a good amount is it an hd shut up dylan i'd pay a good amount dave well fuck off dude yeah i would pay 200 yeah okay i would pay double what i pay for like a pay-per-view i was gonna say what's the most you've paid on pay-per-view for like a fight i paid way it was the mayweather fight i paid way too much for mayweather canelo it was the only time I bought pay-per-view without somebody else going in on it with me. Why did you buy that?

What about the Bin Laden raid, though, Dave? I was bored on a Saturday night, and so I bought it. There weren't a lot of places in northern Michigan at the time to watch fights. No, that was a great fight to buy. I got really into it because of the lead-up, like the Showtime show that led up to the... Those shows are great. It got me into it, and I ended up spending it because of the lead up, like the Showtime show that led up to the... Those shows are great.

It got me into it, and I ended up spending money because of that. Canelo fights the crusher, Kovalev, this weekend. Let's go. Moving up in weight. Kovalev's kind of washed, and I think Canelo will take him out. The Bin Laden raid. I'm paying... You know what?

For both of these, I will go as high as $300. I'm paying more for the Bin Laden raid. Oh, yeah. Way more. Y'all seen Bin Laden raid. Oh, yeah. Way more. Y'all seen Zero Dark Thirty? Oh, yeah. Especially because they were up in there. Shouts to my girl Jessica Chastain.

Dude, she's great. This raid was a little different. I love her. This guy blew himself up and down a tunnel, it sounds like. Yeah, but there was a little bit of a gunfight. Oh, yeah? Yeah. This was a joint op between Delta Force and Army Rangers.

There was a firefight! Apparently like six helicopters involved, at least. Did anyone on our side... Doesn't sound like it. ...catch a bullet or anything? It doesn't sound like it. Huh. Love that.

Which, that's always crazy to me. When you're raiding a compound with like the most dangerous men in the world. These guys know what they're doing, man. God, it's so tight. U.S. military, dog. Just fucking double tapping. Nothing dog just fucking nothing like it nothing like it yeah fuck yeah you should try to go delta force i think it's a little too late for that get a waiver oh delta force was something that like i didn't like you used to talk about

it when you're a little kid and i didn't think it was even real and it's like oh yeah it's real it's like just i guess like the best of the best. They're the top of the top. So tight. Just primo badasses. Dude, so tight. Just alphas. So tight.

Guys like Josh Dreher. Alpha Dylan. Dude, they're alphas with beards. And probably tattoos. Oh yeah. If you're in, if you're like Delta Force, are you allowed to have like, like normal, like not normal, but like just like facial force, are you allowed to have like, like normal, like not normal, but like just like facial hair,

like longer hair or anything like that. The general sense I've had people tell me who are in the military is I know at least in the seal community. Yeah. They get away. They're a lot more lax. Like there's a breed of like Navy seal that like they kind of do what they want.

That's why when you always see those, those photos all have like the badass beards and i think a lot of that is just to blend in with the with the locals okay you know in the middle east but yeah they kind of get a little lax i don't think they have to keep it high and tight like other branches okay feel free to tell me i'm wrong i might be they're just bad boys hey and you know what if you're uh if you're in delta force and you're listening to this or even if you're in a seal team and you want to come on the pod and you're in austin we'll have you on oh yeah we will we'll keep your identity a fucking podcast i'll send you a mug i love talking about that shit no we can do better than a mug a mouse pad yeah oh wow a signed natty can from micah's drawer we'll'll give you a signed t-shirt from Micah's bedroom.

On the biggest stage possible. I missed it. I was watching Great British Bake Off. My plan was to watch, finish the episode, and then turn the game on to see the end of it. And then Twitter just started going crazy. And I was like, ooh. Maybe I should have been watching.

I was watching Mavs Nuggets. The Nuggets who are projected by most to be a top four team in the West. Mavs went in there. Luka and KP. Luka had his worst game as a pro. KP was okay. And they still won. Boom.

This Mavs team's good. But yeah, I saw the... Huh? 3-1? 3-1. I saw the controversy popping off on Twitter. Because you know I can't do sports without Twitter. I love when a good controversy pops up on Twitter.

And this one was juicy. This was juicy. It was a huge swing in the game. Ultimately did not end up affecting the outcome. Thankfully. But yeah, you're talking second and third with no outs to a runner on first with one out. That was the difference there. And it was a one-run game at this point. You're talking second and third with no outs to a runner on first with one out. That was the difference there.

And it was a one-run game at this point. So a huge, huge controversy, as you said. Well, let me tell you this. What is your take on the call? It was a really bad call. Because apparently that is the correct call. Well, here's the thing. Per Major League Baseball umpires. The thing is that is never called.

Right. It's never called because runner, you run straight to the bag. Yes, there is a lane that you are supposed to run in. But it's never called. Ever. In that, okay. If they called it the other way and he's like running around avoiding somebody, like that's much different than what he did, in my opinion.

It's so normal to do what he did. It is called, however, if the runner, if you can tell he's kind of like bowing in his line just to get in the way of the throw. That's the thing that runners do. And it's illegal, of course. Yeah. And you get called out for that.

But this guy, he ran straight to first base base like he's probably done his entire baseball wouldn't have been an issue had it been a good throw yeah it was a bad throw yeah bad throw is what made it into an issue and that's where i have like that's where it just sucks we're talking about the fucking umps again for the millionth time or just any ref yeah if the ball had been thrown safe or out that's not where they teach you to throw it yeah safe or out if the ball was thrown thrown, safe or out. That's not where they teach you to throw it. Yeah, safe or out. If the ball was thrown more inside so the first baseman would have caught it, they wouldn't have called this.

They wouldn't have called the interference on the runner, which is stupid. Were you just sitting on your couch just grabbing your Easton, just fucking grinding away at that thing? It was irritating, man. It was really irritating. How do you feel about it? Everyone's saying ball don't lie. i guess but like literally everyone tweeted that like it at the same time like there was still an out like it wasn't like that like it wasn't like he got to go back to the plate and like have his plate appearance it's not like that blew the game

completely open because that only to my knowledge put the nats up by three yeah so go and i know they put on some insurance runs, but say you go in at the bottom of the ninth in Houston against the Astros lineup up three. Dude, we've seen that before. Oh, we know how that is. So, yeah, that definitely slammed the brakes on a big inning potentially. But the controversy that I want to hear you talk about,

what do you think about Bregman going back carry all the way down the line? Yeah. Well, he's a very cocky guy. How big is he? That was a very cocky move. He's probably 5'10", 5'9". He's pretty stout.

That's a very cocky move. It's not as e99 he's pretty he's pretty stout uh that's a very cocky move it's not as egregious as the uh listed at six so he's probably 510 as the you know the the batista bat flip it wasn't that bad but that's still a very cocky move to carry your bat all the way to first base so one so to get dangerous one soto getting a chance to uh mimic him with his bomb by the way that was a fucking bomb. How do you come up with doing that? Like, how does your brain react so quickly to the situation you're in on that stage that you think to yourself, I'm going to get back at this guy and carry my fucking bat? I just don't understand how you can like...

Because when you hit a no-doubter like that, and that was a deep shot. But he had to have thought about this beforehand in the dugout. Like, all right, say I absolutely tee off on one. I'm going to carry my bat. Yeah, but the point I'm trying to make is if you hit one that barely clears the fence, you're running out of the box. You don't have time to think about shit. But his was such a shot, moonshot, that he was like, oh, what are we going to do now?

I get to walk to first base. I have all the time to think about what I want to do with my bat. He's like, fuck it, I'm going to do now? I get to walk to first base. I have all the time to think about what I want to do with my bat. He's like, fuck it, I'm going to carry it all the way. It was tight. Bregman apologized. Did he?

Yeah. That's surprising. Dude never apologized before game seven. Why did he apologize? What did he say? I don't know. Especially after losing. Yeah.

Maybe he thinks... Imagine apologizing after losing not me dude that's by a million tonight man i don't know you got grinky scherzer tonight i don't know about scherzer he got the he got the cortisone injection i just i don't know i don't grinky game seven all hands on deck he's the only person who can't throw i don't know if cole would be available but i'm assuming verlander would not be by the way verlander as many of you've seen oh and six in the world series not great that's our group text last night was like man that's surprising i'm like is it surprising it's like if you guys remember the world series we were in uh we didn't win that many games. I think we only won one World Series game

the entire time the Tigers were good. I was a little surprised that he didn't win any with the Astros last time around. I completely forgot about that. That's what surprised me, but that went to Game 7 too. Yeah, that's tough. What did you guys think about Kate U upton jumping into the uh first base play uh for a she got a million responses of people just saying

oh and six of course referring they're married they're married right her husband's world series record if you're verlander like aren't you kind of hoping she's not tweeting during the game yeah i just i mean it's kind of like i i don't like i didn't like it when i was in even like high school which obviously a different stage like hearing my mom like yelling in the crowd because it just kind of distracted me and it was an unnecessary thing i just didn't like it like you don't need your insanely a-list famous wife tweeting out ump takes she's's a ride or die, man. That's just going to make things worse for you. I do like that she included a photo

from her point of view. From her bomb-ass seats. And that was like, first thing that stuck out was like, huh, you can get a little closer. Yeah, I thought that too. Brothers and family?

Oh, I mean. She took a picture of the base path from like the upper deck. They weren't bad seats, but like, they weren't as good as I would have imagined. And also, it's like, what did that photo... That photo didn't show some vantage point that no one else had seen.

No. You were 150 yards away from first base. Yeah. I don't know. It wasn't exactly the Zapruder film. Yeah. Dylan, your response the Zapruder film. Yeah. Dylan, your response to her did numbies. Yeah, that was an easy one.

Yeah, I mean, that was kind of a layoff. Another thing that's kind of inherently wrong or weird about this rule is that the first base is inside the field of play. Like, the base path that's marked, the base, first base, is not actually in that zone. It's on the other side of the line. So you have, at some point, to hit the bag with your foot, you have to go back into field of play in order to do that.

Are you saying it's inherently flawed? It is. It is. And that's why it's never called. If the base was on the other side, it would make much more sense to call that. But you have to go in to fill a play at some point as a runner to step on the back. It's just weird. So it's never called. Baseball is kind of stupid.

Don't say that. Baseball is so tough. Why are the bases not flat? They should all be like home plate. I feel like it's too easy to roll your it's too easy to roll your ankle I never thought about that why are they different

just make them all the fucking same I know it's a base and not a plate why does home plate have the point why isn't it just a fucking plate I don't know defend your sport Dylan I don't know I don't know Defend your sport Dylan I don't know Cause I think it's because

That's the shape of the The diamond And that That corner is like In play Yeah It's like the very tip of the In fair ground

In Little League Sometimes they'll have a A double first base So like the First baseball will have his foot On one of the bags and then you run as a runner, you run the other one so it's a safety thing.

That's soft. Yeah. That's participation. I'm going to lobby for that in majors. The double first base? Yeah, I got to protect some ankles. I mean, they probably would have gotten Armando Galarraga's perfect game call right if that was the case.

That's fair. I forgot about that. Not me. It's etched in my memory. Oh, dude. And then they ejected Martinez. Oh, yeah. Nat's manager.

By the way, he has a bad heart, that guy. Bad heart and fiery temper. Hey, so... I would have lost my shit. I loved it. What I really liked about it is how when he when he was like, when he was being restrained and then finally they had to let him go because they couldn't hold him back anymore. And he just got up in the ump's face.

It's like, stop getting restrained. Who was that bench coach that was trying to like, because he was getting bullied, straight up manhandled. Yeah, I don't know. I'm not trying to say that he should have fought the umpire. That's not what I'm saying. But like, if you're going to get restrained, like you can't just go like yell in the guy's face again.

Like you have to be restrained for a reason. Not a big deal if you're just yelling at the dude. You're going to get ejected anyway. He was already on that route. What are you saying? He should have thrown hands or something? I don't really know what I'm saying. It's just like, I just hate when guys get restrained

and then they don't do anything once they're not restrained. Put your money where your mouth is oh I think he just wanted to get like up in his face I know yeah I like it when they kick dirt on the um shoes

or cover for do they not know how stupid that looks do they forget how dumb that looks when they start doing shit like that yeah it's just such a little kid thing for like an old man in a baseball uniform to do

yeah it's just like a tradition at thing for like an old man in a baseball uniform to do. Yeah, it's just like a tradition at this point. Dude, let these guys dress normally. Don't put them in fucking baseball pants. Why is that? When they're 80 years old. Like Bobby Cox,

at the end of his career, it's like, dude, how bad does he not want to wear this right now? No other sport does that. Yeah. Like imagine Belichick just,

you know, dressed in, you know, he has shoulder pads and a jersey on and a helmet. I can confirm. I don't think Belichick's caked up enough to wear those pants.

No. What? Nothing. You don't have any comments on his cake? I don't. Or coaches baseball dressing like the players? It's a little bit... It's a little juvenile.

Juvenile. Brett, what are your NCAA tags? Oh, Brett's steaming. I'm not steaming. You're steaming right now. I'm happy for the athletes. It's a big day that they can finally make money based off what they're doing that has been traditionally just completely

unpaid labor what does this mean for Jersey sales is it are they gonna get I think you there a merchandise play here too absolutely there okay so they can now put last names on these sure can you guys plates yeah if you go to those like those Chinese websites you can just buy the ones with like name plates on the back to you you do that too but yeah this is... It'll be interesting to see how schools are splitting likeness revenue with the players. Just because they can be paid,

I don't know if it's like you get 100% of your... Well, yeah. Think about like... The deal? Is Oregon going to have the same rules as... Texas? Texas. Hard to say.

Because that could be a recruiting tool. Can Sam Allinger get a liquid IV deal? I don't know. Because his likeness can be used as a brand at this point. Can he go out and get outside sponsorship? And not forfeit your amateur status? Yeah.

I don't think you can. I have not looked at the legislation. I don't know the rule change. So I'm talking out of my ass here, which I pretty much do on every podcast. Just Jim Carrey-ing it. Just freestyling. So universities that move a lot of merchandise,

like, for example, Tech. What? Dylan's all in on the merchandise. I know that was a long introductory pause. Dave had a long pause and Dylan swooped in. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. I thought you had lost the moment there. I kind of did now.

Dave gave me the same look as he... I thought I was rescuing you. Dave gave me the same look as you gave. There's some reaction video. Oh, when I'm falling asleep at the table at Matt's El Rancho and you just look at the camera like, we need that video. Sorry, Dave, go ahead.

No, no, no. Ah, damn it. I don't know. I don't know where i was going with that i had something oh no brett to your point i think that they will forfeit you can't you can't go get an endorsement deal but like if they're gonna make money on your face or your image it's like the same as like why we can't just start selling shirts for like clayton kershaw t-shirts we're using his image so he has a right to publicity um right to make money off that

and control who does right so but so i think it's just that's basically how it applies to the athletes so but just going back to ellen you're just because it's a an example uh can he make a t-shirt with his face on it now in college like that's the is that like he's he's his own brand at this point it hard to say if you're a high school athlete you better be buying your domain name for your fucking name right now dude you should just buy up every name out there should we just start buying up like names of like high recruits and sell them back to the kids at like a 200 markup yeah that's not scummy at all no more than 200 okay these things are only going to cost like 20 bucks each.

I'm not going to sell it to this kid for 40. Why not? Because I could sell it to him for 100. Okay. This is going to benefit the really big programs. 100%. Right? That was the whole argument against it for so many years.

It's the big program. It's just the rich are going to get richer. Yeah, for sure. This is the floodgate, which people have always fought for which is fine and i'm for the kids getting paid or being able to profit off their likeness but like the exposure is going to be a rich yeah the exposure you get going to usc alabama is much greater than going to kansas state right you have a much better chance to profit off of your likeness going to the big time program.

And it's also going to open up like the middlemen here. The recruiters that are like the AAU. Oh, dude. Oh, leeches are about to be just coming out of nowhere. I'm so tired of middlemen. Not Mike Leach.

They're doing the Birdman gif right now. I'm going to cut them out if I ever get the chance. God, you hate middlemen. Fuck. Can I be the homie's agent? Yeah, sure.

For when he's a golfer at Texas? Sure. He told me he didn't want to go to Texas. Don't fucking say that.

He did not tell you that. So you want to go to A&M? He didn't say that. Stop, Dave. He said the rings are cool.

He wants one of the rings. He wants to go to Yale practice. He wants to go to fish camp ph i that'd be way tighter why are you a low-key fish guy no that's what they do in boulder so a part of their freshman orientation they they get these buses and they go out and they can't they just camp for a couple days a and m kids and they come back brainwashed yeah it's a cult dude dude.

Dude, I wonder if we'll hear about this. I'm not even kidding. That's what they do. Ask them. I know a few A&M people, and they're all very high on A&M. A&M people scare me because I'm scared that if I say anything not complimentary of A&M, I'm just going to get reamed out. I do want to go to A&M.

I want to go to College Station. I want to go to a a game i think it'd be fun to go to a game if texas plays there like anytime i'll go but i think it would be a lot of i've never been to a game that's not gonna happen for a while apparently it's a wild environment yeah it's a little weird how they're all just there for like practice game i just want to stay away from the yell the yell leaders in the in the core they weird me out big time dylan weren't you saying that you want to talk about, you want to talk about like how you were saying earlier in the group text. Like, I think that if these athletes do decide to cash in,

use quotes, then their scholarship should be taxable. Like taxes income. I did not say that. You had some take on that. And if you want to, but someone did, someone did say that it wasn't,

it was definitely not me. It's the, it's me It's an all time ratio No you sent the tweet and you said I actually love this take I agree with it but I'm too afraid to say something publicly You said you actually love the take It's such a shitty take What an asshole this guy is

Imagine being this guy's grandchildren and being like Are you fucking serious grandpa You're going to tax my like Zero dollars of income At you know what 50k a year as if kids aren't getting like killed enough by tuition you're gonna tax a bunch of kids that are working their ass off to get a scholarship it's not easy to get a scholarship in the sport let's play a game let's play it's bad because he's not even talking about tax taxing the income they would

make from their likeness he's talking about their tuition it's total bullshit let's play a game called um ratio okay which number is retweets which one is likes and which one is responses 2.8k 9.3k 30,000 i think we know what's what 30,000 is uh the replies. Correct. And the retweets are just people being like, look at this dumbass. Look at this idiot. Yeah, it's not... Does retweets count quote tweets? I've always wondered this.

No. I've always wondered that too. I don't think so. Because it says retweet with comments, so I think it should count. Do you get a notification if someone quote tweets your tweet? Mm-hmm.

Okay. But you don't get any notifications if people interact with that person's quote tweet. Which is probably for the best. I think it's for the best if you're a really big person on twitter but for us i think i want some of those notifications from those if someone responds like i don't want i think i deserve that response too because i i feel like there's been a lot of people probably this probably happened to all of us like someone's shitting on us and we're never gonna see it like we can't even cloud back i've never had i've never had a tweet of mine go viral like viral quote unquote i've never gotten quote've never had a tweet of mine go viral.

I've never gotten quote tweeted and had that tweet go off for the wrong reasons, which is good. It is a fear of mine. Like if you had a tweet about the Amari Cooper trade when it dropped. Exactly. And you weren't a big fan of it. And then someone was like, hey, old takes exposed. That would be a scenario when... That would suck for that person.

Is there a Twitter account that has all-time ratios that keeps track of that kind of thing? Dude, you should maybe start one. Dude, we should launch a new vertical. I'm too busy buying

domain names of these kids. Call it ratioed. It's a good idea. No, it's not bad. I would like to know the most ratioed tweets of all time. It'd be kind of fun

to have a bot that showed you. How much fun is Twitter, man? It's the best. I had a Twitter idea back in the day that i wanted to set like every moment in history to the titanic theme music and then somebody did it so now there's an account that has every sports moment like every historical moment just set to does it do numbers yeah it does fucking numbers dylan that's too bad man yeah that was my idea is that your best idea that never panned out that someone's doing now

no because I had a few really good ideas that did pan out okay my friend thought of doing the big game

my friend thought of having a Swiss Army knife phone case and then someone filed for a patent for it after we talked about it for about four years that was actually me

I was the attorney of record I didn't even know it at the time Dave swooped in Dylan was uh predatory micro lending i kind of like that idea yeah i'll end on predatory things don't say that cats yeah okay that it gives up what are you talking about sir loves the nashville preds it can be interpreted in a very negative way. Who's the Preds fan? Was that Ross? Yeah. I fucking hate the Preds. Ross is going to Game 7, by the way. Off topic.

He is? Yeah. Good for him. He does not need to go. No, that's bad for him. I mean, he's one of the more anxious people I know. He's going to be a fucking mess at that game. He didn't even want to go to a potential ALCS Game 7,

and he had the opportunity. Luckily for him, it didn't happen. They didn't need to go to the a a potential alcs game seven and he had the opportunity it luckily for him it didn't happen they didn't need to go to seven but like for i can't imagine going to a world series game seven if it works out in your favor you know best sports day of your life if it doesn't i'm like grinky just gets rocked which i don't know what's gonna happen but well grinky has always had a he's always had kind of uh i don't know how to say this in a nice way. He's not big game Brett? So I don't know if anything's changed with him. I know he was trying to improve.

He had anxiety issues. He had really bad anxiety issues when he was pitching for KC. And that's part of the reason why he wanted to be in a smaller market is because he didn't want to deal with big media. So he went to a bigger market. Yeah. So then he went to... Where'd he go?

Diamondbacks. Did he go anywhere between Diamondbacks and Astros? They got him from the Astros... Or from the Diamondbacks, right? Wasn't he in Milwaukee for a minute? Yes. Yeah. Oh, maybe that was the middleman.

Good call. Yeah, I might have mixed up the order. But yeah, I don't know if he's worked through it or anything. But I don't know. Game seven is the peak of nerves. Don't forget KC. I don't know game seven is uh the peak of nerves but don't forget kc i don't know if you said that's that was that's where i originally like started following granky because he was lights out and we'd had to face him all the time well isn't it more social anxiety like he's if

he's on the mound and locked in i think he's fine i would i'd probably assume that and he's he's a veteran at this point like a certified fucking veteran he's been through it yeah he's been through has he ever been in a World Series before this? I don't know. I don't know. I'm a big Granke fan. Did he pitch for LA or am I crazy? He was a Dodger.

He did. He's been to a lot of teams lately. Yeah. He's bounced around, man. For that good of a pitcher. Did he pitch for LA in the World Series when they were against the Astros? I don't think so. I don't think so either.

Sorry. There's people screaming at their mics right now. Baseball is tough. Greinke's been in a million places. It's like the Stars and Mavs every year. They just rent their players out who are on expiring contracts to contenders. It's tough. It's like what Greinke's been doing.

Yeah. Journeyman. Sorry, Dave. That's not a journeyman. Wait, what did we do i just i just chirped dallas sports what do we do i don't i didn't hear i didn't understand what you're i'm saying that like if you have an unrestricted free agent coming up uh-huh you always just trade them away because you're never a contender is that something we do a lot of i don't think so i was

just oh just taking shots i just have i have Dallas breaking news coming up, and it's kind of on my brain. I'm so pissed off right now. I'm thinking, you're probably right. And I'm like, wow, what the fuck? No, I think they've been buyers at the deadline. Yeah. Hasn't worked out. It's been a while.

2011, though. Always have that. Game seven last year. Stars? Stars, yeah. That's pretty good. About an inch away jamie ben one last night big win put up five in the third big time big time huge congrats thank you hey can we talk chili's uh versus smash mouth real quick why don't you talk about why you were up at 445 sending that text okay i can do that so this morning i woke up at uh what appeared to be 445 and uh rosie was barking really really badly uh she sprinted out of the

room ran into uh our living room and kept barking made her way toward the door and i didn't know why she was barking sally went and grabbed her and brought her back into our bedroom where she sleeps and all i could think to myself was please don't be 4 45 right now that's when ghost dog struck the golf clubs leaned over tapped my phone 4 45 on the dot't sleep. Couldn't sleep after that. Ghost Dog returned. And so I just hopped on Twitter and I started just going. I did a deep dive into Chili's versus Smash Mouth. Can you explain for the people who are totally lost like me?

Yes, I can. What's going on here? Well, Smash Mouth is known on Twitter for kind of, I don't want to say they troll, but they definitely have a social strategy where they know they can get retweets. If something pops off, they'll jump in the mix. They'll get a lot of courtesy likes. Yeah, and so Smash Mouth, sorry, someone said they're playing All-Star

in a Target bathroom. So Smash Mouth quote tweeted them. And then a guy responded and said chili chili's plays all-star now which really gets me through the shift and then smash mouth responded to this guy who's a chili's employee and said chili's needs a new investor to go in and revamp that brand it was very strong at one point chili's at chili, just saying. To which Chili's responded in quote tweet fashion, all caps, you guys, dot, dot, dot, dot. At Smash Mouth is still together?

Four question marks? That's tough. That's just mean. I mean, Smash Mouth didn't have to go after Chili's like that. But Smash Mouth is essentially the Chili's of bands. Don't you dare. No, they're like the furs of bands dude like i'm sorry chilis isn't allowed to like throw shade at smash mouth chilis is like i'm not gonna say the i'm gonna say the

nickelback of bands they've had big time hits they're often a punch line but you can't doubt you can't deny their greatness also smashouth was replying to someone with the original shot they took to just a small account. They weren't trying to expose Chili's in any way. No. And Chili's just had to come over the top and just landed a right hook, basically. Yeah, it was an overreaction. It was an overreaction. It's like somebody bumps into you on the subway and you throw a bow into their mouth.

They body bagged them. What if they collabed? They really did. I don't want any part of that collab. We had the walking on the sun, Queso Fundido. Tell me that's not a good idea. They should do a Smashburger.

Yeah. And call it Smashburger. Yeah. That can't be copyrighted, right? I probably copyrighted it back in the day. Yeah, you probably did. You probably did. There's a Smashburger in Saratoga.

Really? Yeah. Is it good? I've never had it. Fine. Okay. It's not going to do numbers. Have you had any burgers in Austin, Texas yet?

Yeah, I had Whataburger. How'd you like it? I loved it. Oh, and I had In-N-Out by your place. Have you done P Pete Terry's yet? no I haven't done Pete Terry's

do Pete Terry's dog I also haven't done I haven't done like a gourmet burger anywhere from like a nice place you should do an Austin burger review

where you just like get a burger and walk outside a burger challenge yeah and then you tape it and then you give it a ranking what's the scale? that's an idea

I don't know you just take one big bite though there's been too many jokes that no one's gonna get on this podcast. Dude, I throw out we need to go to Chili's every now and then, and I'm not kidding. I would love to go to Chili's.

You tried to get me to go to Chili's for my birthday dinner. Yeah, I did. With all of you. Correct, I did. Yeah. I thought it would have been fun. Well, they're doing their Halloween thing, the Fangtastic Margarita. Yeah, it's Fangtastic. That's the thing about it. have been fun. Well, they're doing their Halloween thing, the Fangtastic Margarita. Yeah, it's Fangtastic.

That's the thing about it. Sounds spooky. It is spooky. They got underrated salsa chilies. Some of the best in the game. Oh, they got rid of it. They got rid of their salsa? Dave, their salsa is garbage.

No, they got rid of the Fangtastic Rita. Dude, unless I'm thinking of another place. They've got watery salsa. And thin-ass chips. And they're thin-ass of another place. They've got watery salsa. Yeah. Thin ass chips. Thin ass chips. Their chips are trash. You can't like eating

the queso with their chips is almost impossible. I think their skillet queso is worse than their salsa. You have to triple up on the chip to make

it. Is skillet queso the same thing as queso fundido? I put the fun in fundido. That doesn't answer my question.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I feel like they're very similar. Brett, have you ever eaten Chili's? No, I haven't. I was going to actually ask, what is Chili's 2 is my main question. It's airport Chili's. Yeah.

It's like a condensed version. Okay. What do you get at Chili's? Chicken crispers, big mouth burgers, triple dippers. I call it the triple D. Southwestern Egg Rolls. They don't have Chili's up in New York? You put out Applebee's vibes.

Speaking of, it's 25 cent wins at Applebee's today. Case in point. They had an Applebee's for a while. And a Ruby Tuesday. I don't know if you guys remember that. But Saratoga was not a casual chain dining city.

Like 10 miles south of Saratoga is where you run into the strip mall casual dining. With Chili's. Have you ever been to P.F. Chang's? Yes. China Bistro. Yes, I have. Hell yeah. That's good. There's one in austin we should go

this tweet from chili's sucks it's a it's a tweet of a guy sitting at his desk yawning with a rib photoshopped over his mouth can you see this that's not a good tweet it's just a really bad photoshop i think they thought this was going to do numbers because it was a bad Photoshop. And their caption was, Barbecue sauce on your collar after a Friday night working out, or after a Friday night workouting, is much less conspicuous than lipstick. Just saying.

Hashtag work vibes turned hashtag weekend vibes. Did six retweets and 28 likes, which for an account that has 400 000 followers which congratulations them they must have just hit that ain't that good that's not good those numbies are not what you're looking for one might say their engagement on that tweet is poor engagement brutal uh did you guys see it isief Night, and this scary story that's going around on Twitter. Have you seen this, Dave? You're going to have to explain to people what Mischief Night is.

Mischief Night is, what do you call it, Devil's Threesome or something? No, we just call it Devil's Night. So it's the night before Halloween is where you get into the TPing and egg throwing. It's like when you're too old to trick or treat, Mischief Night becomes your thing. I never actually did it. I was just... You were too much of a bitch? No, our neighborhood was too nice.

So I should park in a garage tonight. Humble brag. Yeah, you should. Okay. So the New York Times did a map of this to see what people called it where the night before Halloween. It was essentially just saying,

what do you call the night before Halloween? And the entire country, the entire country except upstate new york okay um i guess new jersey area and michigan and then the accompanying areas the majority united states said they don't call it anything you guys call it mischief night yep that's what they call it in jersey uh there's another one that people call it i guess that's kind of out States said they don't call it anything. You guys call it Mischief Night. That's what they call it in Jersey. There's another one that people call it, I guess, that's kind of out there that they don't specify. And then Michigan is all Devil's Night. I don't know why Michigan chose Devil's Night.

Can I tell you this? I don't know what Texas says on the map. Nothing. It's all red. We didn't have a name for it. We never partied. Most of the country agrees with you. I can't believe that, Dave, that you did not smash pumpkins on devil's night ever we just did it

on halloween we did it on halloween yeah yeah oh yeah it's more fun to ruin people's halloween before they begin you know yeah it's so fucked up yeah yeah i'm gonna tell the homie about this he's gonna be walking up to people's houses being like you want this smoke just holding a big ass like 40 pound pumpkin over his head oh and there's a four-year-old on the patio talking about smoke yeah he's not gonna get into that kind of stuff he probably was wearing a supreme shirt means business but this this is we've been doing the spooky season podcast for six weeks now uh this is the spookiest story I have ever heard. Is this from Grady Hendrix?

This is Grady Hendrix. I was tagged in this earlier. Have you read this story? Yeah. I almost want to... Should we save it for spooky season? No, but... I would go check out at Grady underscore Hendrix.

This is true, right? This isn't like a fictional thing. Yeah, this seems to be like police involved true, so. Can I just spoil it? Just go right to the end? Yeah, I think we just go. Is it worth,

so it's worth reading? Yeah. It's doing numbers. Essentially, essentially, they had a guy living in their vent system and he died in the vent system they

never identified who he was or anything and like as a kid he like saw this guy looking at him through the vent what the fuck all right here's the thing about this story it is insane when you read the when he uh i'm out i'm head out that's a meme dude he'd been living there for months and the kid used to sneak down to like the kitchen to get snacks and the guy would be sitting on the kitchen counter eating their food out of the fridge and then he'd go tell his parents and when they came down he was gone

so he thought he was just seeing ghosts and shit I have chills right now kids see ghosts sometimes kids, quarterbacks double so the guy died Kids see ghosts sometimes. Kids, quarterbacks. Double. So the guy died, and then he started decomposing, and maggots fell out of the vent onto this kid's bed while he was sleeping.

And then that's how they were like, oh, shit. Police said he'd made a lot of drawings of the kid. Over how long a period did all this happen does he go into that he moved in in the guy said he'd been living there since may and i don't know when the oh one night in may 1981 okay and says he's been living in them since may so seems to be a one month situation or a one year situation but yeah it's it's creepy one time when i was living at the uh fraternity house something died in the walls and they couldn't do anything about it we had a guy come out he's like nothing i can do i have to tear down the wall so i just had to not live in my room as the like rat or possum or whatever it was decomposed for like three days.

It's frat. It was not great. I told you about the guy who at the Perry Steakhouse in Austin, which used to be a bank. There was actually a bank vault in the back of the restaurant. Someone was trying to rob the bank and got stuck in an air duct or something and died right there in the restaurant. Or in the ceiling of the restaurant anyway. But the bank at the time. It was the bank at the time.

Yeah. Yeah, that's terrifying. They rebranded. But that bank vault is cool back there. Is that our Christmas party? I've eaten in the bank vault. Oh, look at you, dog. Yeah, I'm surprised you haven't.

We're actually doing our Christmas party at B-Dubs. Dave got us a resi when he was there. We got the little bank vault at B-Dubs. Instead of doing the tower of beer, I'm doing a tower

of just Asian zing sauce that I'm going to put on my bonus slings all night. Just ratchet that thing down and just drizzle it. They're going to have a special menu for us. This is going to be lit.

Is it prefix? Yeah. Tight. Just wait. Should be lit. Is it prefix? Yeah. Tight. Just wait. Should we do this weekend of fun? Yes. Let's do it. Yeah, we should.

I mean, it's not presented by Roback, but I think we'd be remiss if we didn't just talk about Roback since we're going to be strapped at it all weekend. Don't we have a promo code for the homies at home? We do. It's Randy20.

Randy20 will get you 20% off at rollback.com. R-H-O-B-A-C-K. It's quarter zip season, as we all know. Should people keep an eye out for, like, I don't know, some tight shit coming from the rollback? Keep an eye out. Okay. Yeah.

What are you doing this weekend? I'm still shook by this Grady Hendrix story, but I'll try to talk about my weekend and fun. So tomorrow is not technically the weekend, but it is Halloween. And the homie, taking him trick-or-treating, can't wait. It's going to be fun.

His mom will join us as well. We'll meet up with some friends. We have a bunch of kids. Just roll through the neighborhood as a big group. Should be a lot of fun. His mom will join us as well. We'll meet up with some friends. We have a bunch of kids. Just roll through the neighborhood as a big group. Should be a lot of fun. Take a roadie or what? Are you like a cool dad who they have beers on and they're like walking around doing this? Maybe.

Why didn't you? Because it was $75. And it

didn't fit me. I would have just had to put it up somewhere. That's why I didn't buy it. That's fair. I'll probably just get a jersey off. Really? That's a mail-in, but that's fine.

You don't see nipple, but there's side boob. That does not count. Sexual references, like when the girl gets goosed by the pool cue. That does not count. That's seeing boobs for the first time nipple nipple has to be there for it to be a boob i'm not saying i'm not saying it counts i'm saying with will that is more than pg i know but the way that the guy in the tweet represented this it's much different than what actually happens they're not going to put boob in a 1990s it might even be 1980s pg rated movie and i have seen that i've seen that movie a million times and like i i trust me i would

remember if there was a nipple in it okay that puts that debate to bed i was so young when i saw it like it would be etched in my memory in a good way where do you guys want to go next dallas real estate dallas real estate glad Estate.
