metal ranches a metal ranchos all right we are back back in the mix coming to you live from the wash media studios in austin texas david is out david is in porter ranzas with the fam so i'll be running point today i'm not alone folks i got big de frees back in the mix name's viper i just said a promotional tweet for this episode. Vipers back. Yeah, Vipers. Vipers here.

What's up, big dog? That's call sign Viper. Yeah. That works. I'm excited to chop it up with Ryan. He and I have not had much exposure. And so, and his candles burning out long before the legend ever will. Today's his last day.

Let me tell you something about Ryan. The people seem to love Ryan. Why don't we put it to a vote? We've had Reddit threads. We've had Reddit threads popping up, just singing his praises. Listener voicemails. Listener voicemails. He got gassed up on listener voicemails.

Damn, dude, that must feel cool to get stand on the Reddit. Yeah. I didn't even know you guys have a Reddit, so I got to go check that now, I guess. Yeah. Oh, yeah. They like you, man. Anyway, let me introduce guest producer Ryan. Yeah.

Good to be back, boys. Last day with you guys. It's been a fun little week. And for all the listeners, Randy will be back tomorrow. So you guys will have your boy back. I don't think this is the last time Ryan's going to be in this studio. I think we're going to have to force him back in based on the, the public outpouring of support.

We can work something out. I don't see people begging to get Randy back in here, but I don't know. I'm sure there are a couple out there. I'm waiting out a text from Randy right now, but I'm worried he's absolutely thrown off the mead right now. Yeah, I texted him about an hour ago and he hasn't responded. It's happy hour over there. I said, never mind.

I figured it out. So he's been frolicking around the jolly old UK. Yes, yeah. He's making the castle circuit. Did you know Randy before this gig? I met Randy one time playing a board game with softcore history with him. Okay. Dunsons and Dragons? No, it wasn't D&D.

It was literally this like medieval board game that Danny Regs found and they were doing as like a soft core bit. We played for two and a half hours and Dan just decided to flip the table because no one was going to win. So yeah. That sounds pretty Dan. Yeah. Just meathead out. Little test rage a little bit. Okay.

Randy's just had a meathead. Randy's over in the UK just drinking mead and cider. I'm really proud of Randy's trip right now. um like brett's kind of aura farming throughout random european countries right now but randy's just going to churches and abbeys and castles and it's tight they're riding different waves brett's just trying to find the most like picturesque scenes he can in europe and and and italy and croatia i think he went to or is currently i don't really know and randy's just hitting the like you said the castle circuit so uh different waves but they're going to the same place i don't think they are going to the same place

I don't think they are going to the same place anymore. I think they were already at the same place. They went to the same wedding. Yeah. Randy, I don't know why he had a, you see his post. He's wearing my tucks or he wore my tucks. How'd that go for him? You guys are shaped differently.

We are. Of course, your wife had to show him how to tie a bow tie. He pulled it off. I don't know how to tie a bow tie. He pulled it off. It looked great. I don't know if he just, if he kept it tied after Sally did it and just brought it like that and somehow, I don't know if you can do that.

I don't know. With bow ties, it's a little harder. Yeah. That's one of the skills that like when I was like 20, I was like, I need to learn how to tie a bow tie. It's stupidly hard for no reason. Yeah. I don't know if you know this about me, Ryan, but I don't know my left and rights very well. Like it doesn't come naturally to me.

That's fair. And so watching the videos of doing it is just impossible. Once you have to do the foldover and the pull through, I just get, I'm completely lost. No, that's fair because usually they don't mirror the image. So you have to like reverse it in your head. Yeah, it's a whole thing. It's ugly. It's ugly.

But that's... They have some that connect in the back so you can disconnect it. Okay. But the one that you gave Randy, Sally noted, did not have that. So he couldn't just disconnect it in the back and then connect it later.

Yeah, it had the length adjuster in the back. Oh, maybe that's... Okay, so maybe it did. Yeah. I think they all... I think you have to have that. Yeah, a little bit to kind of get the right slack. But that's also how you know it's a real bow tie.

Yeah. If it's not perfect. Do you want a little bit of that kind of cluster in there? I brought it in. I brought it in. I think I like Ryan more than Randy. Brought it in untied and he was like, oh, it's one of those.

Or like a real, yeah, it's a real bowtie, dude. He thought it was going to be like the kind you get from Joseph A. Bank that you rent. That's not what real men wear. No, people like when it's a little, like a tiny bit. A little disheveled. A little bit.

Not perfect. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I like it floppy. Yeah. I don't know.

I don't think a lot of people do. I don't like wearing bow ties. most of the time. A tux is the only time I ever wear a bowtie. I just wear morning suits now. Dude, yeah. My morning suit was different. By the way,

do we have better pictures of that morning suit coming? Because you posted very little of it. Yeah, we didn't take that many photos of it, unfortunately. There's one good one that I have where it's like you could really tell. But like...

Tails. It had tails. It's kind of the same energy as a tux that you feel when you put on the tux. But I rented it. the morning suit from a place in London and went and picked it up. And they fit differently over there. I had to get a 36 waist. You're not a 36 waist. It didn't make me feel good when I upgraded to that. You're not a 36 waist. But dude, wearing tails feels pretty awesome. Is that something

you could just wear here to a black tie event? No. So I was mistaken. I thought the dress code was all morning suit. I thought every guy there was going to be wearing a morning suit. I apparently missed the line underneath the dress code that said, you know, suits are fine. Okay. So I was like the only dude that wasn't in the wedding that was American wearing a morning suit. But it's like, it's like if you get a wedding invitation that says, um, black tie optional, you opt for black tie. But every single person that I approached who was wearing a morning suit looked at me and said, you own a morning suit? Why? And I was like, no, I rented it. I thought everybody was wearing one. So I just, I just got one. I didn't even know they were called morning suits. Yeah, I didn't realize there was like a difference.

I didn't either. I had to Google. I googled when I saw the dress code. And I was like, oh, okay, I guess I got to get this. Yeah. So shout out Oliver Brown for hooking me up with a shout Oliver Brown. My tails. Hey, by the way, if you missed last week's Patreon episodes, you missed some tier 1A plus content. We did cold call, which is maybe the, I think I said last week was my favorite cold call we've ever done. Listener voicemails also hit real hard. It was two fantastic episodes. Hop into the Patreon. it out if you haven't already. I concur with that take. It's a seven-day free trial. Can I give a thank you? Yeah, for you hopping on retail therapy? Yeah. Do we get a good time? I was kind of hoping that Bear was just going to shop for you guys the entire time, but I don't mind that you guys went the route you did. Yeah, he kind of, he gave us some good tips as Barrett will do. It was a fun episode, man. I think people, people seem to enjoy it. I saw, again, with the Reddit, I saw some praise being lobbed our way, which I'm always willing to accept.

So thank you for that. Yeah, it was a good time, dude. Thank you. Yeah, thank you. You're very, very welcome. What do we have tomorrow? I don't even know what we have tomorrow. I don't know.

Is Dave back tomorrow? Dave's back tomorrow. We got the full crew back, except for Brett. Brett won't be here, but he's not on the podcast anyway, so it doesn't matter for you. No offense to Brett.

I'm kind of looking forward to no Brett this week. Okay. I just have less on my plate. It's kind of nice. after being gone for so long, I need this time to play a little catch-up. And so I don't need Brett just peppering me with to-does all the time. It's going to be nice. Yeah.

Good for you, man. Hey. You're still going to probably have to do some stuff. Probably. Yeah. Probably still going to have to work. He's a two-week trip for Brett, right? Two weeks?

Yeah. I mean, he had two weddings, two weeks. He had two European weddings. Oh, that's right. Do you know anyone who goes to as many weddings as Brett? I swear, I swear he goes to 30 a year. I mean, when I first moved to Texas and all Sally's friends were getting married, I was going to so many weddings, knowing nobody at these weddings.

But he, and I'm so glad I'm out of that part of my life. Yeah, I'm going to my boy, uh, Chandler's wedding. I'm like, I don't, who are these people? He's just, he has so many friends. I feel like I don't, I feel like I need to make more friends. Maybe he's just a spark plug at these things. He's just known as a guy you want to want there. He will not say no to a wedding invitation.

He's really honing in on the flip-flops look and, uh, in Europe. And I don't know how it's going. Well, Barrett told us that they're back. They are kind of back. I don't know. I think I've been living in Texas too long that now I'm anti that. Because I used to be pro.

I don't know about jeans and flip-flops, though. I told Barrett that when he told us years and years ago, that you never pair sandals with pants, which I kind of knew already. And also, like, you never go, you never, like, go out. out in flip-flops. I filed it away and since that day, I haven't done it one time. I wore- Only to the pool. I wore, uh, Adida slides to mats with pants one time after day drinking. Okay. And, uh, noted touching base, uh, sit-in person, Kayla, um, she got to it. Was at mats and was disgusted by me. Yeah, she is the, the number one hater of sandals or slides with pants.

Yeah. When, when we saw her there, she saw it, I was wearing, she, like, ran away. Yeah, Brett one time we were in South Carolina, we were in Greenville, and Brett wore that look out to dinner with the people who were hosting us that we were trying to earn their business. Oh, no, you can't show tow in that situation. And I was like, I can't believe our biz dev guy is dressed like this. First of all, secondly, I have to show Kayla. So I took a picture of him and I texted her and she was, I think she just gave me like the vomit emoji or something. You guys should have sent him back to his room. I was a little surprised that he pulled that move, but he did. We did not. earn their business. Maybe it was a flip-flops. But we got a free trip out of it, so that was fun.

I was jealous. I think often about how I would have done on the time trials that you guys did in the cars. Do you think you would have done well? No idea, to be honest. It was fun, dude. I think I would have been willing to crash to beat one of you, though. I know where I lost fractions of a second. And if I could do it again, I would have been up there on the podium.

You got to, you got to break real hard. You gas it until it's time of a brake. When you break, you mash the brake. Then you fully gas it. You can't just coast into a break, which is where I fucked up the first time. The first turn, I didn't take hard enough. Anyway, let's neither hear nor... Gotta trust the car.

Yeah. They said mash the brakes. I think I would have come in second. What, Brett got first? No. I think Brett was just off the podium. Then he got fourth. Or maybe third.

Third or four, something like that. Out of like 40 people. Anyway. Let's recap this weekend in fun. Bro, let's go out this weekend. There's a crazy event happening. I like to turn up. Bro, there's a crazy event happening.

We had the party and it was lit. I got yelled out by a prostitute. Let's just go have fun and let go with it. Little more, girls, let's go. This weekend in fun is brought to us by our good friends at Early Bird. Early Bird CBD. We love Early Bird. They've been a sponsor of ours for a very long time.

They have a new product. It's called The Drop. The Drop is just a little. It's a little tincture. A little tincture. It's just, it's the same formula as the gummy. It's two and a half milligram of THC, 12 and a half milligram of CBD. What's cool about the drop is you can dial in the dose perfectly however you want it.

If you want to dial it back a little bit, you can do that. If you want to add a little bit more on, you can do that. They're awesome. Can I put you on? Yeah. At the wedding, I was with a bunch of the early bird guys and I was talking tinkies with them. Okay. And I was told by one of them that a little, if you put it in some water and you do a little salt and a little lemon, it's a delightful little macktail.

Well, I have some drops left and I will be trying that probably tonight. Yeah. They're great. I think they set in a little bit quicker than the gummy. I don't have science to back that up, but it just feels like it kind of hits me quicker. Remember when they mashed that fast acting button on the gummies and they worked faster? No. That was a few years ago.

I don't remember that. Okay. I could be making it up. Speaking of the gummies, of course they still have the gummies and they're still good. We love them. They have strawberry, watermelon, and lemon, and they all taste great. And they're just, they're my favorite gummy. I absolutely love them.

They are also 2.5 milligram THC, 12 and a half of CBD. And right now, you can get 20% off your order with code washed at earlybird CBD.com. Again, that's 20% off with washed at early bird CBD.com. CBD.com and these are a single use coat. So don't just buy one bottle and call today. You got to load up. Load that car. Let's start with Ryan. Ryan, what did you get into this weekend, man? Just do the fun stuff only. We don't hear about long. No, it was a good time. Friday went out with my, my girlfriend and a couple of her friends. We were at downtown Round Rock, kind of went to a couple different bars there, you know, checked out the local scene. Like I said, last week, that's kind of

where I live. So it makes more sense to go up there and all the way into Austin and at times. Saturday, nice chill day, you know, relaxed, got ready for the week. And then Sunday I went to had a little brunch with the boys, went over to one of our friends' houses and enjoyed a nice chakutery board. Wow. Had a couple drinks and practiced and dry firing. So, yeah, no, it was pretty solid weekend, I'd say, all around. Did you guys have the U.S. Open on while this was going on? You know, man, if America's not playing, I haven't been watching.

Okay. Sorry. Kai. Well, you're talking about the U.S. Open is the golf tournament. No, that's a good point, too. You were thinking World Cup, I understand the confusion there. But, uh, but yeah, I mean, I enjoy golf, but like, I, I got to be with someone who's watching it, you know? It's not something I'm throwing on myself.

I get it. Okay. But yeah, I would say solid little weekend altogether. I like that people are still brunching. I've just, I've aged out of the brunch. Brunching had a serious moment, like, 10 years ago. Everyone was brunching. Austin was a great brunch city for a little bit.

I think people figured out that, like, getting, drunk at like 11 a.m. It's kind of a day derailer. The more I was getting drunk at 11 a.m. with kids, the harder it got to be a father. Yeah. You know, so I had to kind of back out of that. I'll do my weekend next because you had the big one.

Hey, dude, happy Father's Day. Hey, same to you. Yeah, it was Father's Day weekend. And this was the weekend I was supposed to go to the lake, but we put that plan on hold. So the family, we went to Barton Creek Country Club. I didn't. My sister, brother-in-law stayed there. My dad stayed there.

So we did a day trip each day to Barton Creek and just had a great time. Parks had a fantastic weekend. They had a bounce house there with like a slide on it. He was going crazy on that. Just good vibes out there, man. Do you have any pinocaladas at the pool? Parks had a virgin pinia collata at the pool that was fantastic. Yeah.

I just had a couple beers. I didn't really get into one out there. I know. I know. It was fun, though, man. Too much sugar. Yeah. Oh, there's too much sugar.

I had Skittles on the golf course yesterday. Dude, I don't care about sugar. Skittles? If I try glyceride levels, you're soaring. Who's doing skittles on the golf course? They just had them. I guess you are. They had them, so I got some.

Okay. I'm not gonna hate on it. I did a little dinner at ECHO on Saturday. My first time to go into ECHO in a minute. They still have their fastball. Chelsea's mother was in town. She treated us to dinner there, which was nice. What was the order?

I want with the Mole Sampler. I got enchiladas. I got a pork and a shrimp with the accompanying mole. They have four different molays there. I'm not a mole. I'm not a moly guy. I'm not either, but sometimes it hits. They do it so well.

With the shrimp, it's a Blanco molay. So it's not sweet at all. It's so good. I didn't know they were doing albano molays. Yeah, they got albano molea. They got albano mole there. It's kind of nasty in a good way. Sunday, Father's Day, watched a lot of golf.

My dad came over. We did a cook dinner. for him and just got to spend time with my boy and with Chels and with Chels's mom. It was great, man. It was great. That's it. That's all I got. Will, tell us about your trip.

Man, Saturday started early. I got up at 5 a.m. Had to pack. Drove to the airport. Went from Somerset, England to Heathrow Airport. I passed a very famous thing on the way to the airport. Oh? Stonehenge.

Dude. Okay. Were you ready for it or did you just see it? No. No. Okay. It wasn't ready for it. Just looked over and saw this a bunch of rocks stacked in a field. So it's just off the road? Yeah. Okay. I'll be honest. I didn't need to pull over. I saw everything I needed to see right there.

So how close were you to it? 100 yards. Oh, right there. Oh, yeah. That's close enough for Stonehead. Yeah. You kind of get the vibe. I get why people might go park and like hang out there. I don't think I really needed to. I think I saw it all. So is it a sundial? What is it?

Well, so they were setting up for their solstice party. As you guys know, the solstice was yesterday. Happy first, second day of summer. I forgot that. And so, like, they have a party there every year because the way that Stonehen just set up is with the sun, I guess. If people comment that I'm wrong about this,

I don't blame them. But, like, on that day, like, the sun will rise through one of the things and then set through another one at the other side. And so they have a big party there. Apparently, it's pretty lit rave. Oh. We didn't attend, obviously.

You know, I spent most of the flight making sure my son didn't take the plane down in some way. It was not the best travel day I've ever had. He actually acted great. Had a nice little layover at JFK Airport, which has the worst Wi-Fi situation I've ever experienced in my entire life. Just can't connect to anything in there. And once you do, it just drops you. But we finally got home, turned down early that night. Yesterday, Father's Day, I got clearance to go play a little golf.

Probably shouldn't have. Played terrible. Handicap is just on the rise. Where'd you play? Spanish Oaks. Ever heard of it, dude? We just hung out at luxurious golf clubs this weekend. Dude.

That were not members of. Yeah, we did. I had some tacos for lunch yesterday. I thought there was kind of a weird move that I wasn't going to bring up, but I'm going to now. I was eating my tacos, and this dude came in, and he looked down at my plate and said, that looks so good what is that and i wanted to look at him and be like it's clearly a steak taco sir okay you're not see you're in texas you not know it's a steak taco yeah it's on the menu there's only one thing that looks like that was a gas though yeah it was really good uh like i said

had some skittles um didn't sink any pots but you know i part 18 you and scotty man hey it's tough out there uh part 18 that's what keeps you coming back sure um and yeah it just went home spent time with the boys Boys, had some dinner. Couldn't keep my eyes open past 9 o'clock. So, I mean, how was your trip? Oh, the trip was good. Okay.

Trip was good. Yeah, I want to move over there. Like full time. I'm talking full time. He was in the UK. Yeah. If you miss that, yeah. We hit London.

We hit the Cotswolds. We hit Somerset. Those were our stomping grounds. I have to say, I think spiritually, I'm meant to be in the Cotswolds for the rest of my life. Okay. I'm unfamiliar, but it sounds dope. Pub scene, crazy.

just flowers popping left and right made my wife drive the entirety of the trip on the left side of the road because as we know i don't know my left and rights very well so i was a little worried about taking turns is that really the reason for it part of it part of it the other reason was that she's registered to drive i think in the u.k you just have to have a driver's license so you don't have to do it but she has an international driver's license that she got when we went to italy i didn't know that such a thing was a thing and uh i just buckle under under the pressure driving so and she doesn't she she enjoys having the power was the steering wheel on the right side yeah whole situation yeah right hand drive yeah it's crazy it's crazy how they do it i will say i think they're on to something with these roundabouts though they're getting more popular here too the fact that you don't stop like ever and you're just cruising yeah it's really nice to not have to stop anywhere i don't know about in place of uh stop lights but stop signs certain no i'm in favor of it in places stop lights. I agree, but the problem is American drivers don't know how roundabouts work. No, no. They assume

it's a stop sign and then it backs everything up, but when they're efficient and they work, they're actually, I like them. It was crazy how much it just kept things moving. Like, I'm a huge proponent of these now. I do think American drivers are less respectful than the British drivers were and we wouldn't, like Austin couldn't

handle a big roundabout like yeah, like a four lane roundabout. People would be furious at each other. Dumb question. Over there, since it's the opposite side of the road, do they go clockwise around? clockwise. Okay. Yeah.

Yeah. Sick. Yeah. Yeah. Sick. Yeah. I did the London Eye, the big Ferris wheel looking thing. Oh, yeah.

I've been on that before. It was cool for a little bit. Yeah. Then I was like, all right, I'm ready to get off this thing. It's like a 30 minute round trip and you're just like, okay, 10 minutes was cool. I misunderstood the lady when we were bored when we were getting on it because Sally asked how long does this last? And she said, I thought she said an hour, but she said a half hour.

And the second we got in, I was like, I don't think I want to be in here for an hour. but it was cool saw big ben saw parliament nice just had a very stereotypical London day oh yeah nice oh boy boy up the lads well all the pictures that you took in london you should probably load them onto your oarframe oh dude the best thing to do i need to put all the photos that i put of uh or that i took of my son on my parents a wireframe because you can do that remotely you can you can just one of the wonderful things about it yeah this is an orrframe right here it uh unlimited unlimited Unlimited storage. Shout out Davis Clark.

Dave wearing cloud makeup. Yes. Of course, you get free unlimited storage. Like Will said, you can control it remotely. Like, the reason why it's a perfect gift, we talk about it all the time. First of all, you can preload pictures and videos before you gift it. There's a QR code on the box. You scan it.

You can load it up. So if you give it to your mom or your dad, your grandparents, they connect it to Wi-Fi, and they already have stuff waiting for them. And then with the app, you can, like say, you go to London with the family. You can put pictures of your trip on your parents or frame so they can see it right there without having to do anything. It's also easy to use even for them if they wanted to do it. There's a gift box included.

It's, we love them. I think we all have one. We all gifted them. Oh, yeah. And if you're out there and you're like, shit, I forgot to get my dad a Father's Day gift. Like, just go make that happen. Yeah. It's, honestly, it is the best gift for parents and for grandparents.

There's a new trend going on, which is similar to one we've talked about in the past, actually. We've done, we've talked about pants beers, right?

Oh yeah. Yeah, I didn't even think about that. I didn't put that. You know what a pants beer is, Ryan? I've not heard of this term. All right. Let's say you're out with the boys. You're having a good time.

You're at the bar. If you want to do a pants beer, what you do is you order a pint at the bar. Then what you do is you just pull your pants away, away from your waist and you just dump a beer down your pants. Just let it go. Yeah. Okay. That's a pants beer. It's an ultimate scare the hose.

Yeah. It really is. Yeah. It's like a. say you're out with the boys you know you're not you're not going home with anybody girls aren't a big you're not doing first day pants beer just your impressor there's a new variation that i don't know how i was targeted with this um trend over the weekend but pour a pour a beer on your crotch challenge is now a thing and oh we have a video one right here yeah i don't know what are we doing

There are countless pictures of people just pouring beer on their crotch. I'm worried that some of these dudes are using AI, which I don't approve of. Some of them look too good to be to be real. Like, look at the splash is so perfect on these. It looks like it could be AI, right? That's like a nice, they have white tablecloths on the, on like the tables there. That's not AI. Someone's actually doing that.

No, that one looks real. You can tell just by how this dude is built that he's definitely pouring that beer. The guy woke up that day just to do that crotch beer. Yeah. On the couch, that's a bold move. I saw someone doing it on a plane, like sitting in like on Southwest flight doing it, which please don't do that. I don't have it like that.

No one's going to appreciate that around you. The flight attendants certainly are not going to appreciate that. Have you seen the guy doing Baja blast on himself in the drive-through? I miss that one. Well, it exists. It's very randy-coated. Yeah, there we go. You're just not doing that in your Cadillac.

That's got to be fake. Or a dirty Baja on your crotch challenge. What's a dirty Baja? See, this is where we need Randy. Yeah, well, so... I know what a dirty soda is. It's the same thing, but like fast food chains are starting to do it now, too. But essentially, it's just whatever soda you want,

and then they'll add, like, heavy cream to it. Yeah, you can trick it up with cream. So, like, a Swig, it's really big in Utah. It started as a Mormon thing, yeah. Yeah, because the Mormons, they don't drink alcohol, so they love sugar and they love... They need to get their fix somehow. Sugar is what they lean on a little bit.

Okay. And so a dirty soda is just, you order, like, a Coke with cream, and like, like lime. Yeah. It sounds weird, but I think I would do it. Guess what? They're fucking good. Yeah, I believe it. Yeah. I believe it. They are. The only problem is, I think in like the Baja blast example, if you get a full sugar, Baja blast is dirty, it's like 132 grams of sugar for like that one.

Oh, no, no doubt. That's way too much fucking sugar. Dillon just recoiled. No doubt. He's scared right now. Yeah. The two times I've been to Swig, I've gotten the, the, the, diet coke option. Come on, dude. You can't do a dirty diet. I'm sugar-aware. You know that.

I'm not. No, I know. I got a ginger ale yesterday at lunch, and then she refilled me, and I drank that thing without question. Okay. Also, Skittles on the golf course. Yeah, you got to keep that sugar up. It's Father's Day.

Let him go for it. Yeah, dude. It's his day, man. Come on. I had two Mexican beers and the transfusion yesterday. Like, let me live. Is this, is this, is this image? distorted or does he have the skinniest legs of all time i know i was thinking it could be randy but then i

realized that he's not cheek this guy's definitely not cheeked up and could be a little point five angle yeah yeah little wide angle lens well do you remember the the infamous wet spot game uh yeah uh yeah like this is kind of reverse wet spot remind people who what wet spot is wet spot is a game that also you play just solely with the boys yeah um i'm not i don't know if i've ever heard of any women actually playing the game. But it's where you all stand in a circle after drinking heavily and you pee your pants. Right. And the person with the smallest wet spot on their pants wins. So you try to just, you try to shut the faucet off immediately. That's so hard to do. But if you shut it off before it gets through your chinos and or jeans, doesn't count. It doesn't count.

It's a DQ. And so you have to have at least a little spot on there. Have you actually played wet spot? No, but if if I was in a situation and there were no, and my wife would, was in a different state and or country. And the boys wanted to do it on like a golf trip. I 100% would do it. My fear is that, you know me. I don't like peeing in public. And I don't know if I could get it going.

Yeah. But I do wonder if being fully covered would give me the confidence to go. But I don't think I'm scared of peeing in public because of like... It's a tough mental challenge because your body knows that when you have, when your pants are on, you're not supposed to let it rip. So you have to trick your body into... convince your body it's okay to let it go. Or you just drink enough alcohol.

Yeah. I think that'll also circumvent that. That's a part of it too. I might request like some flip cup or beer pong before we like actually do it just to make sure that I'm like really toot it up with booze. Yeah. Wet spot. That's a good game.

Yeah. I'm not opposed to playing it at some point. But I do think it needs to be in like a like a ideal scenario for me would be a golf trip where we're staying in a house that has a washer and dryer. So I can just immediately turn around and take those things off. End of the day. You've already been sweating. Like,

you're already gross. Yeah. Stuff's going to the washer anyway. Play a little wet spot. Yeah. If any, if any, uh,

backers want to do a wet spot challenge and you do a video that can't be altered by AI, um, we'll send you a hat. Yeah. We will send you a hat. We'll send you a hat. Yeah.

I mean, I don't want to kink shame here, but I've never had the thought of time to piss my pants with the boys. Yeah. Like I, that hasn't entered my head yet. I haven't pissed my pants since, I think, St. Patrick's Day, 2010. That's a good run.

And it wasn't even my fault when I did it. They did the water trick to me when I was sleeping. They put my hand in the water. It actually worked? Yeah. I've never heard that actually working. I think they also dumped water on me, but the joke was on them because I was on their couch. I'm like, why did you guys do that?

I was on their leather couch. I'm like, why would you do that to me when I'm on your leather couch? Like, you're just begging to get a new couch. I've done the thing. I did this spring break one. time it wasn't spiff kid i believe or not actually i actually did go somewhere for spring break once enough confession like you like you're in swim trunks and you just pee yourself like outside we're we're at the ocean so i was standing on the beach and i just peed myself and it just ran down my leg

and then i just wouldn't got in the ocean which is you know it's a it's a safer you know you're about you're about to get in the ocean i don't think wet spot i think i don't think wet spot should count if you're doing in a bathing suit i think that's kind of a cop out it's definitely cheating it's a It's a khakis activity. Also, the hose did not think it was cool when I did it. Yeah. What the fuck is this guy doing? Usually the move is you get in the water first and then let it go.

But, I mean, that's a bold choice. And, you know, I appreciate that. I even have trouble peeing in, like, the ocean. Well, you got to be perfectly, when you're in water, you got to be still. You do. When the waves are crashing in, it's hard to get still. You got a time in between the waves. I never want to do a position where somebody from the beach is like, well, he's peeing.

Yeah. So I'm always trying to play a cool. Just hanging on the side of a pool. Like, we know what you're doing, dude. You can't hang out of the side of the pool if you're going to pee in the pool. You just got to go, you just got to go do that. Yeah. Everyone will be peeing in pools, though.

I try not to. The longest walk is from the place where you're sitting at the pool to the bathroom at the pool. It's like, man, I don't do that. You had a pool party with adults. Everyone's drinking. Everyone's cracking highnoons or whatever. And like no one gets out of the pool for three hours. It's like, we know you're not getting out to pee.

We had a little pool party at our place when COVID restrictions were kind of loosened up for the first time ever. I don't know if you remember this. And the water was kind of different in that pool after we were done. Just when you were on South Amar? Yeah, I was there. I was there. Yeah, the water didn't seem the same. And I was like, yeah, I think I'm going to get out of this pool.

Yeah, no one's getting out. Like, everyone in this apartment complex is peeing in the pool. We're all taking on a lot of liquid right now because we're all drinking. You're a big aqua dump guy, though. Yeah. I do like to poop in the pool a lot I can't say I ever have I've never done that people

No there's people that do it While boating like if they're in the middle of the lake They'll jump out if they really have to go But I don't I've never had I've never put myself in the situation where like That's the only option available to me Yeah if it's an emergency and it's like survival All right you gotta do what you gotta do man

But yeah we gotta find somewhere else I had a situation where I don't man I want to talk about this No come on I thought I was gonna have to squat behind the bush recent like while we're in england um i did like you know how like they do wellness shots yeah i took one brave choice i took one and it just ruined me and we went on a walk with my son and suddenly i was like yeah i got to go back to our place and i i legitimately thought on my my solo walk back that i was gonna

have to pop behind a bush and it was just i was going to have to hang my head and shame the entire time it would have been bad man too old to be doing that um uh i was uh I did a, we talked about this. We did a, a, a rafting trip with my dad to the Grand Canyon. He did the same thing. And the Grand Canyon, there's a rule that any, you can't leave anything behind. Yeah, you got to have a poop boat. We had a poop box.

It was as big, like an ammo can. This is big metal box with a, you know, a toilet seat on top of it. And it was just filled with shit. Yeah, I take it with you. People that do like the three week thing, like, they have one person that, like, is on the boat that is just like, They're just shuttling poop everywhere. But I did leave some behind, I have to admit, because I got, I was 13 and I got sick. I had a ton-time issues and I had to let one rip.

And we were rafting. So we couldn't just pull off to the side. We had like three, we were like a three-raft group. And so I just, I had to jump off and just and go in the river. I had to, it was an emergency. I had no choice. We should probably stop talking poop at some point. Is there anywhere we can pivot to?

Yeah, how about Ridge Wallets? Ooh. You talk about Ridge Wallets, which of course, look, If you have like a thick wallet that's, you know, it's probably messing your backup. If you sit on it, it's probably messing your backup a little bit. It's crusty leather. It's thick. It's no good.

You've got to upgrade from the traditional wallet and get yourself a Ridge wallet. It's sleek. It's slim. It has a little thing on the side. If you want to use your credit card, you push this thing and they come out and you're so nice. I don't know if you've used one. I have one. Dude, mine made waves through numerous groups.

checks where not only did some in-laws want it, but I actually gifted my brother-in-law one for his birthday. They have a bunch of different colors. They're made of, they're made of like titanium, aluminum and carbon fiber. I actually got the leather one, which is dope. You hit him with the leather. I hit him with the leather. I highly recommend the leather one. It is really, really nice. Over 100,000 five-star reviews, no matter which one you pick, it has free shipping, a 99-day day, risk-free trial and a lifetime warranty on all their products. They stand behind it, which we love, of course. Also, the RFID blocking technology. That's big. These digital pocket pickers, you're out of here, buddy. You can even get an attachment to put an air tag on it. So, like, I don't know,

obviously I'm not talking about myself, but sometimes people go on bachelor parties and they lose their wallet numerous places. Yeah. That'd be really good for bachelor parties. Yeah. Not you, but other people could use that. No, it's hypothetical. For a limited time, Ridge is running their huge Father's Day sale.

have been paying any attention to the, I called a debacle, what's going on in Washington, D.C. with the reflecting pool. Ryan, are you familiar with what's going on? Been hearing about it a little bit, some stuff here and there. Trump wanted to beautify the reflecting pool by

giving it a nice, he called it American flag blue is the color he wanted for the bottom of the pool. Did you see the pools bigger than skyscrapers? I mentioned how ridiculous that was that he, I mentioned that on the show. And Randy's like, well, I thought it was kind of cool to see you.

I was like, Randy, none of this means anything. First of all, he didn't have the pool built. It's been around for decades. And yes, it is longer than skyscrapers are tall. To me, it didn't seem pertinent. It didn't seem like that much of a flex. It's just a big water feature. It's a big pool.

It's a beautiful pool. Yeah, I just like, I don't know why this was so impressive. Anyway, Trump likes big. He likes big things. He likes when things are big. He really had someone like an, aid, like, make up this poster for him to show how big the pool was compared to, like, the Sears Tower.

Like, all right. If I had a bunch of AIDS, I might be, okay, if I, can I rephrase that? Yeah. Yeah. If I had. People helping you. Yeah. If I had a team like that, I would, uh, I'd probably have him making like some, some

crazy graphics on some boards. But he was set, he sat in the Oval Office and showed us this. Someone took that home and it's like a collector's item now. It's like, why, what do we do it? You know how Barstool Big Cat's been collecting like a bunch of random shit stadiums and stuff there's someone at the white house doing that yeah like no i have all this ridiculous stuff anyway um so they they put apparently they put an epoxy on the bottom of the pool and this created like this made the water is hot in washington dc and they made the water really

hot because of the the material at the bottom of this pool and so algae has been growing in it and so the water is turning green and so they took a bunch of hydrogen peroxide to try to kill the algae that is causing the epoxy to like flake and like peel up but now there's accusations that people are vandalizing it right i don't know how founded they are apparently it's just people that are like they're seeing this stuff flake up and they're picking it up like that and that is vandalizing they're like peeling it off it's already been peeled off from the bottom of the pool and i guess people are being arrested including some like olympic rower was one of them i would just call that observing you know yeah it's it's ridiculous anyway we have now we have now

met, there's a link on the rundown. Yes, this guy. Yeah. This guy. Yeah. The tweet says, and I haven't seen like full confirmation that this is accurate, but I want it to be so bad. I believe it. So this is, the tweet says, this is Trump donor in Mar-Lago neighbor John Calero.

I can't. Caferro. Caferro. C-A-F-A-R-O. The prince kind of small. Who he got to, he got a no-big contract to install the, uh, the, uh, the, the water purification system for the reflecting pool. He has two prior convictions, one for bribing a member of Congress, and another for an illegal

loan that violated campaign finance laws. Okay. This guy is just an absolute cartoon character of a human being. This is a caricature. He's got like a velour suit on, it looks like. He has dyed his hair black. I believe his mustache also looks to be dyed. And he didn't hit his eyebrows for some reason.

They are full gray. He's got a big, like, cartoonish cigar sticking out of his mouth. I just, I can't get enough of this dude. He's perfect. He's perfect. He's got a guy for everything. I'm pretty sure this is a member of the Looney Tunes. Yeah.

I saw someone say on Twitter, I'd give you credit if I remembered who you were. It says, if you look like this, you should be allowed to do a little corruption. Yeah. Yeah. A little corruption. Let's let him do a little corruption. He looks like he hates Dick Tracy. Yeah.

He looks he looks like the guy who does the voice the 30s gangster the voice that we do. Yeah, see my Tommy gone. Yeah, do a little corruptions. If this guy walks into a restaurant, you're like who, like, you can't look away. Like, who is this guy and what is he up to? He's perfect. And I do love that he's got just a babe next to him. Yeah.

And you know she's not there for him. She's disgusted by him. Oh, yeah. She's like, I don't know who you are and why you want you. She washed her hands after this interaction. There's another picture of him floating around. from like it looks like decades ago and he hasn't changed i mean he's wearing the same like loud suit and yeah i i got to read this youtube comment this dude only carries money in sacks with a dollar

sign yeah yeah that's who he is i i'm i was about to ask if you've seen the fraser episode where something happens but i'm going to assume you haven't but there's a frazier episode where fraser's dad dyes his hair to do a little dating and he sits too close to a fire and the hair dies starts melting down his head. And it looks like that's what would happen. Like a Giuliani. Yeah, exactly, exactly. There was a guy who, I need to find this to send it to you, Ryan.

Here he is. Okay. What's the best way to send something to you? Just through Slack. I got that open. Okay, to Randy Slack. Yeah. Right, okay.

One second. I'm cosplaying as Randy over here. There's a guy who is like a legitimate pool guy. And he's also a perfect character. I don't know if you saw him. Is that just pool guys? He pulled this guy up. There's a guy who's at the Reflecting Pool talking about the pool situation.

Play this video with volume. This is basically what it looks like an epoxy, although it looks like it was rolled down, but you could also just roll it's rolled out with like a roller or spray on. Yeah. But in the end, it almost looks like it was rolled in. So this is not paint as one might think of regular paint. It's like a... No, this is an epoxy. When I was doing swimming pools. It was a smaller company, but you run into everything, so even though you may not

do it, you got to know what you're dealing with. And this is something you would do. You can pause it. That's enough. But I tweeted that there isn't a soul on this planet. I trust with my pull over this guy. No. Look at this character. I can listen to this guy. This guy knows everything there is to know

about swimming pools. He's been doing it for 40 years. Like the old school mullet, too? Dude's a legend. He's incredible. There's some characters that are coming out of this. You can tell from the second he starts talking that like, this is his passion. Yeah. This is all he cares about.

It's his autistic special interest. Yeah. This guy's been on budget and on time for every pool that he's installed in his entire life. He's one of those guys that shows up to your place to do the job and he tells you every single detail of it. You know, like, dude, that's fine. Do it. Do it. Yeah.

Please do it. How much is it going to cost? Just do it. I always feel like when people do that, I trust him more. Because I'm like, look, I don't know what you're saying, but I believe you 100%. Oh, yeah. Which is part of being a great salesman. I love this guy.

Anyway, apparently that Trump took his motorcade to the pool yesterday after they drained it. And he went and like inspected it himself. And he keeps blaming like vandalism on it. It's the whole thing is just hilarious. I don't know why we're spending so much time and effort on the reflecting pool. that it doesn't really, you know, matter too much in the long run. It's literally all just about Trump trying to create a legacy. It's so funny.

It's like, Jay, it is so fun. I didn't see a lot of people complaining about the pool before all this went down, though. No. No one gives it a second thought. Like, oh, there's the pool that's been there forever where we do, you know. You're going to redo the pool, like put in some jets or something. Put a diving, you know, it's too shallow. Let's make it a vibe in there.

You can't do a diving board. It's way too shallow for that. that would have been cool during the UFC fight to have someone like jet skiing across it or something. Yeah, you could put a jet ski on that thing for sure. Could you skimboard it? You're probably too frat to skimboard. I've never skimboarded.

I've seen people do it. It looks cool. They did bring the Nitro Circus guys out for the 250. That was like the day before they had them doing flips and stuff. Why didn't we just throw them in, you know, the pool, have them jump over the reflecting pool. Yeah. Yeah.

That's a missed off. I feel like we didn't go full out as we should have. No, the pool needed to have something being done in it. You could do like in ski areas during like Mardi Gras, they do like the thing where you go down the hill and you skim across the pool on your ski. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they could have just done something like that here. If Trump wants to fix the reflecting pool, then he needs to hire this guy. Yeah.

Not the cigar guy. That's why this guy's here. He's like, no, if I linger and I go viral enough, like I might get the next. I might get that next no big contract. This guy will fix it and he just needs an afternoon. It's all he'll, this thing will be perfect. You think he's knocking on the White House door? Like, hey, let me in.

Hey, this is where you're messing up here. Yeah, we need to get this guy. contact info he's got a couple contractors just already ready to go at any moments notice yeah yeah oh all right those got to be coastos right they gotta be coasts dude and just obviously polarize until you can see straight to the bottom of that pool because of those polarized he doesn't even need polarized though he can just look through the water his eyes are naturally polarized he's an aquaman all right well before we talk we're We're going to talk a little sports here. We had kind of a big sports weekend. Before do that,

let's talk about Lucy. Lucy, of course, is the premium 100% tobacco-free nicotine pouch made for the true pouch connoisseurs. I'm a breaker guy. I saw you toss one in before this episode.

Nicotine is an addictive chemical. All right. Let's do a little sports talk. All right. Where do you want to begin? Let's talk with the U.S. Open. How much of the U.S. Open did you watch? I thought in total, I saw about 20 strokes. Okay. You had a busy weekend. I get it. I watched a little bit on the plane in between World Cup games, and then after I got off the course yesterday,

I walked into the bar area, and I saw Wyndham Clark hit his lag puttut to, you know, really put it on ice. We talked about this last week. Have you seen the stat of how many people have finished under par at Shinnock during the U.S. Open? Not many. Three.

Okay. Before this tournament, it was only three. And one of them didn't win. It was Phil. In this tournament, we had a few. It looked like carnage out there. Shinnock was got this weekend more so than it's ever been got. William Clark was seven, was it seven under going into Sunday?

Seven or six? I think he was seven. He had himself a tournament. He got a big enough lead or he fell back a little bit on Sunday and was, you know, able to hold the boys off. This felt like one of the more widely panned majors that I've seen in recent memory. for what reason just people don't like Wyndham Clark

yeah he really heard his reputation at Oakmont with the locker incident friend of the pod Tron said that they needed to lose the course yesterday um I do think it's weird that like the last train

that goes back to the city like everyone has to leave the tournament early to go to it so like that takes just so much away from the atmosphere I didn't know that oh yeah people are just pouring out Wyndham Clark said that it was like a affected him a little bit because people were just leaving. Weird. They've got to have an extra train run for the squad after the tournament.

Yeah. If it were me, I'd just chopper in, you know? Yeah, that's true. We don't all have it like that, Will. Yeah. So, y'all can join my chopper next time. It's at Shinnock. I think most people wanted Scotty to threaten yesterday.

Yeah, definitely. Dude can't make a putt, man. Oh, he's stinking? When he's at his best, he's not having to make these long putts, but he just wasn't putting it close and he didn't make. a single big put. Like he kept, he had so many opportunities

to like get in, get in there, he just couldn't do it. Damn. And he, he bowed, he three putted from like 25 feet out on like 15, 16,

somewhere in there. And then that was pretty much it. Yeah, I was checking. I was actually surprised it was as close as it was when I was on the back night and I checked my phone.

But I don't know, it stinks. I don't like, when, if I'm busy during like a major, I almost intentionally try not to watch it because I don't want

I don't want to get invested at a time when I know that I'm not going to be able to dedicate time to it. Yeah. But this was one where I read so many tweets about it that I felt like I kind of knew. And then when I turned it on, Wyndham Clark had a seven-stroke lead. And I was like, well, I don't really know if I want to watch this right now. Sam Burns made it interesting. He had a, he had a good Sunday and lost by just one stroke, I believe. He had a really good, really good Sunday.

But he missed a put. I guess it was 18. Yeah, it was 18. And he, I mean, it like, it like peaked at the hole and went right by and he hit, he hit his knees and it was, it was close. So he didn't get to pop any grape? Nope. When, when, I'm got to pop the grape.

That's a, that's something, that I wish would have entered my vocabulary more than it has so far. Because I was popping mad grape in the UK. Did he say pop grape or get into, I think you said get into grape? I don't know. Either way, you pop it, you get into it. He's calling him wine grape is the point here. Scotty was doing an interview last night after his round about how the fans were treating Wyndham Clark.

And he had something else that I kind of want to add to my vocabulary. All right. He said, I think sometimes it can get a little too much when you know the balls are kind of going off the greens and you start hearing cheers. That felt like a bit much to me. But then he said, being in the arena is not for everybody. And I think I'm just going to start using that for like just normal moments in life. The famous man in the arena. Yeah, hey man.

being in the arena, not for everybody. Whose quote is that? It's like Churchill or somebody? Is it Whitman? I don't know. It's a good one, though. Yeah. The man in the arena speech, Teddy Roosevelt,

like. Roosevelt. Okay. Okay. Like, that's good. I think I just, I think I might start using it. It's not for everybody.

Like your boy doesn't split the G right. Like, hey, dude, not everyone's built to be in the arena, dude. Do you watch any footy? I watch a decent amount of footy. I did something that, you know, as you know, I'm the, I'm the soccer fan of the pod of washed media in general. I force it on you guys most afternoons when the season's running.

But I did something that no American fans are doing, which is leaving the country during the World Cup. And so all the games were on pretty late over there, especially the USA games, like late, or not both of them, but, you know, they have a 2 a.m. game. I ain't saying up for that. I couldn't even keep my eyes open for the 11 p.m. Scotland game the other day. But like, this World Cup is turning out to be everything we could have hoped it to be. I mean, I thought it was going to be a disaster moving into it because of just the issues that

people are having coming over, ticket prices, things like that. And then like, we're getting everything that we want. USA looks electric. We look awesome. Dude, their favorite in the next one, too. I can't wait. I can't wait to actually watch them live. Yeah.

I could have watched them live, but one time, but we were so busy with other stuff that I couldn't justify sitting in a hotel room. Weirdly hard to watch any soccer over in the UK. You know, Brett and Rannie were in Portugal when Portugal was playing. And I was like, we were checking in. Like, you guys better be in a pub somewhere or what. But it was like right before the wedding, I think. So they were doing wedding stuff.

They couldn't do it. But they could hear cheers going on like in the city around them, which is pretty fun. I watched exactly one match in a pub. And it was the first one, the Mexico match that we watched with some friends over in London. And that was it. And then I did not see a TV in a pub the rest of the time I was over there. Really? They just don't have it over there like that.

Parks is getting really into the World Cup, which is cool. It's sweet. We had it on at the restaurant Saturday night. The restaurant had it on. And he was like, Dad, I'm going to see many guys I can name like soccer players. I was like, all right, go. Dude, he knows a lot of them. Not just on the American.

Sally has impressed me with her ball knowledge. He didn't know any of the American guys. I was like, you know who Christian Polisicic is? He goes, no. I goes, well, there's another one. So you've got to grow the game. But he, I mean, he knows a lot of the international guys, a lot of them. I was pretty impressed.

He's getting into it. I wonder how he knows that. Does he play in FIFA with the boys? He played, he is playing FIFA. There you go. Yeah. That's where you get your starter pack from. Also, his stepdad, his family's Dutch, like they're from the Netherlands.

They're out of fire. And so his mom and Matt, they went to the Netherlands match in Dallas. And so Park's been watching. Of course, his team is USA. Second is in Netherlands. A lot of people are. He's also going there. A lot of people think that I'm a Netherlands guy because of my last name.

Right. From Friesland, but I'm just not. Yeah. I'm just not. So he knows some of those guys. Want to hear a crazy stat? Yes. The Netherlands haven't lost a game in the World Cup in regulation since 2010, and they haven't won a World Cup.

Wait, say it again? They haven't lost a game in regulation since 2010. So they're losing an extra time? I'll be honest. That could be from a tweet that's not correct, but. Let's go with it. But I saw numerous people talking about that. That's interesting.

Yeah. Their uniforms are some of the goats. They're my favorites. I love how to write that orange is clean. Yeah. I wish the players wearing those kits weren't hateable, but a lot of them are. I think the U.S. played their next game is Saturday. I want to say they're so spread out.

It's for the boys, dude. It is for the boys. Have you been following the Freddie story? Freddie Adieu? No. Freddy, the German, who's in the United States. Kind of? Why is he getting invited to the White House?

Okay. So he started in like the southeastern. in the United States. He's here for the World Cup, right, with, like, three of his friends. And he's just tweeting, he's like, he's just blown away by everything American. He's eating at, like, Taco Bell and, like,

all these. Walmart. Foreigners in love and Waffle House. He went to Buckees. Is there, like, a patty melt at Waffle House? That's gas? Because I feel like I saw a bunch of people eating patty melts at Waffle House.

He's hitting all the, like, classic American joints like that, right? And he goes to, like, he's in, like, just some small Alabama town. He's like, this is so beautiful. when he's showing like the landscape he's just enamored with everything american and so everyone has just fully embraced his freddie guy who by the way hasn't revealed his identity yeah a lot of there's so many soccer burner accounts where it's just people that have a huge following but it's just

like i mean their avatar someone else all these celebs are like welcoming it like j j wats like you if when you're in houston let me know we'll get together he went to an uh ella langley concert and got backstage and took pictures with her he's like i think there was a game um in like vancouver somewhere in canada and uh he had trouble like his flight got canceled or something and so like people are pulling out like do take my private jet like oh we'll get you there no matter what it's just this character has been like he's the 15 minutes of fame has been extended to like weeks long now it's incredible well i know that you guys already talked about you guys probably talked about how the scots uh pretty much drank boston dry Yeah, we mentioned that.

There's a video of a dude who said he went to the airport and turned around because he didn't want to leave. He's like, I have to be over here longer. I love it here so much. I have to hang here. You don't want to go back. As someone who's not like the biggest footy fan, I'll say it, I'm not like the biggest fan of the game. Seeing how European and other cultures coming over to America and realizing that, oh, this place is pretty sick. It's not as bad as Americans as the world makes it out to be.

It's a beautiful result of this World Cup is that they get to see like because I think there's an ick in some of these foreign countries. It's been great PR for us. And like them being able to see how nice we are and welcoming, it's been great. My favorite video to come of the World Cup is a very simple one. It's just a guy from Lawrence Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas embraced Algeria who was staying there. And he just walked up to the camera with an Algeria scarf and says, rock chalk Algeria. And it just makes me so happy. It's been fun. Have you seen the Japanese fan that's grinding with the Mexican woman? She's putting it on him. No. I saw a video. I mean, they're all celebrating. They're all celebrating. He's and like he's just surrounded by a bunch of Mexican fans and this woman's just putting it on him and like he's

this guy's never leaving dude he found himself a Latina yeah yeah yeah that's a dangerous one that's yeah they'll get you it's it's it's been fun i talked to some Scottish fans in the JFK airport that and they looked devastated and i was like oh these guys these guys were part of the problem yeah um but one of them was wearing like a Scotland kind of shirt uh and then I was reading a book and Sally asked me what the book was about and I said it was set in Scotland and both of them like turn their heads and i asked him like how are the matches and they said you know we first one was obviously really fun because they won second one wasn't as fun um but man they they seemed to be enjoying themselves they were just crushing shake shack yeah really enjoying oh texas roadhouse has been

a major player has it oh yeah freddie and the boys they hit i think they hit it more than once and they're like this is the best steak i've ever had in my life i saw a video of a british dude outside of a container store and they're like they have a store full of containers Yeah, yeah. They couldn't wrap their mind around Bucky's. Well, like, dude, I mean, like, not to be just went to England guy, but I went into a gas station in England to go pay for your gas. Here's how you pump over there.

They have it running constantly. So you just walk up, take it out, put it in, walk in and say, I'm on this pump, which I didn't realize. Yeah, it's a different process. Weird. But I walked in and I couldn't believe how few snacks were in this place. I was like, see, dude. Now I see why they're coming over here going to Walmart and, like,

taking pictures of, like, all the stuff you can get. And they're going to, they, he started. going to all these college football stadiums where they had these soccer matches. He went to, he went to Auburn, right? Which is a really impressive stadium. If you, you know, college football, it's a really impressive stadium. But it's not like SoFi in L.A. You know? Sofi looks crazy for this right. But he's like he was at the Auburn game and they did like the Eagle that was flying around and it was like a beautiful sunset. It's like, I can't believe this place is real. It was so great. Well, the stadiums over there aren't that big. They don't have that much space to build on and

they have some massive ones like a couple of the Premier League pitches are really freaking huge but like even the biggest one is like high 70s low 80s and like I mean yeah like they go to the big house and it's like holy shit yeah Kyle field

blew their minds too but yeah I would say that's the thing that's made me proudest of this World Cup is Americans realizing hey our government isn't just America like there's a lot to us other than just who is sitting in the president at the current moment. So, like, you know, you can have some pride.

You can enjoy being here. Like, you don't have to hate everything. Yeah, the international headlines are not, are not kind to the United States right now, understandable, but they get here and they're like, oh, wait, this place is kind of sick. It's been so fun. It has.

It makes me really happy. The last thing going on is College World Series. Yeah, how'd that go for you? It was tough, man. OU is in the Natty. So Oklahoma, they were under 500 in SEC play. they went to the SEC tournament and lost immediately they kind of i don't want to say snuck in but they you know they weren't like a team really in the playoffs and they they knocked out the big 12 champion

the another was it the acc champion or uh maybe no big 10 and then um the cc champion on their way to the natty. Like they weren't like a historical hot streak. Anyway, they won on Friday. Sorry, they won on Saturday. They lost last night. So tonight is, they're playing North Carolina for the, for everything. All right. Raise up. Yeah. Can I file a complaint about the college world series? Sure. I think they need to, I think they need to do what, I mean, I guess it's not it's not a direct comparison. I think they need to rebrand how they do it. I think instead of saying you're going to the college world series, you need to say you're going to the college baseball playoffs,

and then the World Series only pertains to the final two teams that are left. I don't hate that. It really confuses me. I don't hate it. And I had to have Sally man, woman explain it to me because... Eight teams make the college world series. She's well-versed in going to the college world series. And so I was like, okay, can you just explain this to me?

I don't care. To be doubles advocate, I think the difference there is there, you know, instead of 32 or however many MLB teams there are, you know, there's a couple hundred teams. that could potentially make it to Omaha. So it is more of an achievement just making it to that place. I just think they want the players

to be able to say, yeah, I went to the college world series. They start at regionals, and if you win the regionals, which is a 14 tournament, you make the Super Regionales, which is against one team.

And if you win that, you're in the College World Series. But you'd have to qualify for a regional. You have to qualify for regional. Yeah, but that's what I mean is it's a way larger pool of potential teams. So even making top eight,

that's a good achievement. I do see your point. Like, even Super Regional. It's confusing. It's super. It's confusing. Do you want to talk about this Micah thing? Close it out. Yeah, we've got two very important days in circling back lore. Shout out to the Reddit for actually snuffing this out.

But today is the nine-year anniversary of noted J-Bone. By the way. Twitter cucking Micah. Who tracks this stuff? Dude, real ones. Some just absolute ball-knowers. Real ones. Does Dave feel special?

Let me remember why. I think that was the funniest day in touching base history for me. And I'm glad that people are remembering it and celebrating. We also have a major, major holiday coming up on Saturday. It's shredded cheese day. Do we need to go to Matt's? I don't know. I was thinking, like, we might have to go do something.

We might have to go to Matt. We might have to celebrate with a piping hot plate of smoke and fajitas. We might have to. I've been, I'll be honest, I kind of missed Tex-Mex while I was over in the UK. like the pub food was hitting but there was part of me that was like man i could crush a taco right now okay when we went recently i had just an all-time night i had so much fun also we didn't invite barrett so we kind of owe it to him dude we got to we got to we got to something nice for him i could tell i could see for his meal i felt so bad about that let's let's go soon let's go saturday

be free i don't know man all right we'll talk about like i don't fucking know maybe maybe this is the californian in me but text masks doesn't hit that hard for me. I think I've gotten when I first moved here, I was like, I don't think I'm going to eat that much Tex-Mex. And now it's like my go-to for so many things. It's good, but I'd greatly prefer California-style Mexican, definitely. Okay, my wife is also from California, and when I met her, she was very out on Tex-Mex. She was like, I don't get it. Like, we have Mexican food in California, and it's so good,

like burritos. What's typical California Mexican? Like a carneasada burrito. Okay. Carnia sada fries. California is low burritos. Am I crazy to think that a fried fish taco is kind of California more than it would be tech-man? For sure.

Yeah. Because I like that crunch of a fried fish taco. California does fish tacos really well. Are you a French fries in the burrito guy? Dude, yes, a good California burrito. Some guacques. Is that only in a breakfast burrito? Is it for all of them?

No. No. We have like Aldaberto's, Roberto's these like little mom-and-pop stands that pop up. And yeah, any time of the, you know, any time of the breakfasts, you know, day you can get a burrito with fries in it. I like the fries at it. I think it's a fun little, I don't know if I had it available to me at all times. I don't know if I would do it at all times, but when it's available to me and I'm traveling, it's something that I'm very much willing to order. It's a premier 2 a.m. drunk food. Yeah, it really makes sense. That makes sense.

We're as I love a burrito. And Austin and maybe just, you know, greater Texas is just simply not a burrito place. No. Yeah. Anytime that I've ordered a burrito in Texas, I've been like, this is not a good burrito. I hate to say it, but the best, like, burrito I've had in Texas has been Chipola.

Damn. Like, I know that's blasphemous, but that new place up the street has a good burrito. I just don't ever order a burrito. Yeah, I just like it. It's nice and easy. It's wrapped up.

You got everything you need in there. I get it. Yeah. I need my one requirement from a burrito is that I needed to be an in-control burrito. If you see them rolling it and, like, like, struggling to shut it.

That's what I'm like, man, I'm not going to enjoy this because it's going to be everywhere. But if I get it, and it's like a dense little tube of meat, side me up. I like a dense little tube of meat. I love a dense little tube of meat.

Someone quote that, please. I get it, ma'am. Shredded cheese day, dude. We got to do something. Does Dave know? We need to put Dave onto this. What's the background on shredded cheese day? During COVID,

a very viral tweet occurred where a man was complaining about how his wife couldn't eat her fajitas because these shredded cheese had not arrived at their table yet. And he posted a photo of his wife looking absolutely devastated. She looked very put out. She was just like, like kind of hunched over, like the brass.

Very pouty. And he just put her on blast and it went viral. I don't think he wanted it to go viral. At Miko Sina Tex-Mex. My wife, date night after three plus months, locked up in quarantine, waiting for shredded cheese. It's the only way she can eat fajitas. We've asked four people going on 18 minutes now.

Just unreal at Allen, Texas location. We've got to quit blaming COVID-19 for crappy. happy service. I hate to say what I'm about to say. I kind of now understand not being able to eat my fajitas without some shredded cheese. It's the only way she can eat them like that's not true. It's not the only way. You can eat it without cheese. But I get wanting it. Um, no, it definitely adds. I think that Matt's Al Rancho has been a little stingy with their shredded cheese. Do they always, they've always been. I think I might start packing like a little tiny container in my own to put on there. They give you enough for like one, like each person can have one.

fahita with cheese and then you kind of use all of it up i get the tacos al carbone a lot if people aren't trying to sizz and even for that you can't get enough out of the little tiny portion of shredded cheese that they're giving you it's shrinkflation it's classic shrinkflation it's a shame yeah i need to be better about ordering extra shredded cheese as we as we get our phishitas we used to be a proper country yeah used to do you used to covid ruined it all we got to get back we got to get back to maddles dog all All right, that'll do it. Ryan, this is your last episode with us, man. It's been a fun one, boys.

Yeah, thank you for helping out, stepping in for old Randall. Yeah, I'm glad he got to have a little break, you know? I'm getting misty. Someone who used to be a producer, I know how much, how tough it can be when day in and day out, you've got to be in the studio. So it's nice to take a couple days for yourself.

This isn't the last time. We'll see Ryan. No, dude. Well, thank you for your help, man. We appreciate you. Randy's going to go on Instagram one night and be like, why are they at math with Ryan right now? I didn't get a text.

It's going to be so upset. I'm in. He's going to be so upset. He's getting praise for his transitions. His camera switches. Oh. Apparently he's pretty nice with it. Yeah.

You're probably pretty good after how many times you've produced. Do you know it at a Game Show podcast? That's true. Yeah, my bad. Anyway, thanks, thanks, Ryan. We appreciate you, man. Yeah, thanks to you guys. All right.

We'll see you tomorrow. Bye. Later. Thank you.
