Starting point is 00:01:21 I'm on it. Hello, Randy. I'm, uh, I would like to take this time to officially apologize to you for breaking your yo-yo this morning. Why would you break a man's yo-yo? What happened? I don't know. I just, I yo-yoed it, and it just, it shattered. I guess I yo-hoed it too hard. I didn't even hit anything. It just went nuts. I forgot that you took that from me. Who do you got? I was going to say there are certain rules we live by. You don't touch man's a girl, something else, and yo-yo is another one. What's the, what's the something else? I don't know. I don't know. There is a rule. We'll figure it out.
Starting point is 00:01:56 Saturday, August 23rd, we have Iowa State and Kansas State in Dublin, Ireland. So not Notre Dame. You could see how one could get there. Because of the Irish. Other than that, we have Stanford in Hawaii at 630 on Saturday. That's pretty much it. This is the year for Matt Campbell. Unless Sam Houston at Western Kentucky does anything for you.
Starting point is 00:02:21 It does. Okay. We got a, yeah, we got a big twist. matchup that'll be fun sam houston what is the i always confuse them with sFA they're not the lumberjacks sam houston is this some kind of cat uh-huh no i don't know there's no way to look it up unfortunately yeah you can't you can't find that out anywhere um that voice you're hearing the guy who's all semi-bricked up for football is going shivery very happy to be here um like i said it's just I'm just excited about what's coming.
Starting point is 00:02:56 It's not just football, man. It's just the, I feel like the humidity wasn't awful this morning. Like it wants, it wants to leave. It's still here, but it like wants to leave. That's fun.
Starting point is 00:03:05 You're saying it's on its way out. Yeah. It booked its ticket and it's waiting at the gate to get out of here. It felt very humid to me this morning, but maybe that's because I've spent a significant amount of time and fail. Yeah, the air up there is crisp, clean, dry,
Starting point is 00:03:20 thin. Not here. Baby, not here at all. Yeah, you gave us a live update when you were in there on voicemails. It's a bear cat. How? Bear cat. Bill was right.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Hey, I got to give credit words to do. It was some kind of cat. Dylan's wrong about a lot of things. I think there's a lot of things that he would like back on this show. They should have leaned into the prison. He was right. The prison that's there. Yeah, there is a prison in Huntsville.
Starting point is 00:03:45 They could have done like, uh, like the Sam Houston clink or something or, you know, something. no man prisoners what was i going to say oh yeah how was your sam houston clink how was your sunrise hike with amrata and swings um okay yeah i mean it was completely platonic um it was kind of one of those deals were like afterward we kind of just looked each other and didn't say anything we're just in the moment and uh we took one photo which it's for us it's in my group text with them and we're just not going to really talk about like because that moment was so special like it was completely platonic but we became we all became they were already good friends it was like we discovered things about

Sweens. She's been doing it with a lot lately, but she was really cool. Like, I wasn't going to bring it up.

Okay, some athleisure maybe. Yeah, which we had this funny story. Like, we had to find a place of REI up there because, like, she'd forgot something.
Starting point is 00:05:16 So we were, like, calling around. And I was like, I've got, I've got Sweens with me. Can you open up early? and I kind of saved the day. Wow. Wow. Oh, my gosh. She had to buy some hiking shoes, some hokas.
Starting point is 00:05:29 She got some hokas? Yeah. Yeah. It's just this funny story. Hot chicks love hokas. Anyway. Okay, but you can't tell us. No.
Starting point is 00:05:38 I respect it. She told her, she's going to kill me because she said, don't talk about this on the show. Which she listens to you, by the way. Yeah. What's that we did before? How old is your boy? Just to say hi. Amrata, not so much.
Starting point is 00:05:49 She doesn't really do podcasts, but. That's okay. She was like, what's it about? How do y'all make money? Do you have an answer for her? Yeah, but it's not something we'll talk about on the show. It was really cool. What are we doing tomorrow?
Starting point is 00:06:06 Tomorrow seems like a great day for touching based. Oh. Or I'm sorry, circling back on touching base. Ah. Is it? Let me look at the schedule. Probably should be. Ooh, it probably should be.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Is it on the sketchy? Patrium. We're talking pay. I'll talk to Will. Hey, can we announce a theme for next week? We can. I mean, we probably should have talked about this. We could do a theme for this week.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Do you want to do Steam Week? I kind of want to do House Party Week. House Party Week? Yeah, I just want to party a lot of time. Yeah, end of summer. Schools back in session. I get the last house parties in. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:43 House party week. We can do Steam Week. We're talking about listener voicemails, which we drop every Friday. It's when you guys call 8886. eight four four two two and you leave us a voicemail a tactical one of course but um last week's was phenomenal the last they've been great lately but last weeks felt really good um it was awesome and then this week we could do steam week let's do steam week what okay what's that mean for folks at home steam week so we used to have a segment here called the steam room and we would turn the steam on and
Starting point is 00:07:16 just we would steam on topics that were bothering us it's a venting session basically one time i had to run the board and I turned the steam up too loud and you couldn't hear the second we might try that again so if you guys want to call in since it's steam week call in and just get a complaint off your chest air of grievance it can be about dylan it can be about us or just something in your life generally speaking or something that's relatable to everyone that we deal with a lot of traffic steams are out there or just you know just basic etiquette steams or whatever you want just steam on just steam or if like one of the hosts on the podcast you listen to is annoying that's like a thing that he does where like he breathes into the mic
Starting point is 00:07:54 weird like dylan too heavily you could call on steam on that yeah or the guy who turns the steam sound up too loud and you can't hear the segment washes out the segment you want to steam on that that's fine too or if like the host of the show like uh i don't know opens it up to randy the producer and and all he gives him is hi dave like if that's something that bothers you if maybe like you were expecting to get a metal ranchers dropped today, but then I saw you talking in the chat that I wasn't going to do it, so then I didn't do it just to piss you off. Wow.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Or if one of the hosts of the show has missed Thursday shows back-to-back weeks, if that's something that's happened due to unforeseen circumstances, which we'll get to, you can steam on that. It doesn't have to just be about like Dylan or us. It's officially Steam Week, though. But it is Steam Week. Yeah. Get them in. 8886-18-18-48-48-48-48-4-22.

Starting point is 00:11:26 People were like, look at this fucking kid. What a poser. This isn't real Supreme. Like, yeah, it's okay. Just let it go. It's a gilden tea. Like, it's fine. He doesn't know.
Starting point is 00:11:35 He doesn't know what Supreme is. Yeah. We had a newsletter or we have a newsletter. better, substack.com or wash.substack.com. You'd think I'd know that by now. But it goes out every Friday. It's in your inbox before you get to the office unless you're a tryhard and you get at like 3 a.m. or something. Or if you have a good job that makes you work overnight, you're not a try hard. You're just getting a paycheck. It's honest work. If you break your day up into four, six hour increments, you probably are already up. Yeah. In which case, you're a master of productivity.
Starting point is 00:12:07 And you're probably not going to read it anyway. But that's dope. Check it out. Um, let's do this weekend and 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.

I'm going to do mine quickly, since you're the one with the power weekend. No. Friday had the nieces over for a little sleepover, and that was awesome. Love having them there. They were a delight, easy kids. They had fun.
Starting point is 00:13:59 And then Saturday, man, it was moving day. So emptied out a storage unit, moved a few items over. We're not staying in the new place yet. The bigger move will be this Friday. but we got it we got a good start on things i'm assembling furniture and it's it's a whole thing man do you meet the neighbors did a wave across the street to the neighbors a lot of kids in there which i'm really excited about for parks um haven't met them yet just a quick way like hey we're the new neighbors check us out you know so i know the area you're going to be living in i think there's
Starting point is 00:14:32 about a 35 percent chance there's a listener within a block of you really yeah do you know about a specific listener over there? No, but it's based on like... It's based on the eye test. Okay. It's just knowing that area and the demographic, I think you might find yourself running into a listener. I hope so.
Starting point is 00:14:52 We found out that Will's neighbors used... We're listeners too recently. Yeah, Will has his next door neighbor who was moving out, and she was like, by the way, a big backer. I didn't want to make it weird. But now that I'm moving out, I'm going to go ahead and tell you, which is crazy. Shows to you.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Yeah. If you're listening. If you have any dirt on Will, let us know. Yeah, if you, like, walks around naked it and, you know, midnight and getting a snack and you see him through the window, whatever. Just tell us. I mean, you don't have to tell us that. You could. If you're a peeping, Tom, let us know.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Yeah. And then Sunday had my fantasy football draft. Wow, I wonder what that's like. Is that Great Hills Country Club, and it was a good time. We do it in person, obviously, and auction style, which is, it's so much fun. It was a great time. How's your team looking, man? Honestly, I never feel better about my team.
Starting point is 00:15:43 This is the 20th year we've done this in a row. And this is it? And I'm the only one who has not won. And I started the fuck. I was a commissioner for the first like eight years. At this point, are people kind of rooting for you? No. They think it's hilarious.
Starting point is 00:15:57 It is shocking. They do a champions toast before every draft. And so I'm the only one who doesn't get to stand up. It sucks. It sucks, dude. Everyone has won. We have a trophy that we just, It's like kind of like the Stanley Cup.
Starting point is 00:16:12 You keep adding names to it in the year they won. And my name, of course, is not on there. Everyone else is. It sucks, man. It's probably for the best since you have a ton of letters in your name. Yeah, I think they can make it fit still, you know. Shivery. There's a McGettigan.
Starting point is 00:16:28 He's won. His name fucking fit. Sorry to docks you. Is he Italian? I'm just joking. McGettigan, it's Irish, no? I was going to say Irish or Scottish. I think Irish.
Starting point is 00:16:39 He thinks it's cool. He has four syllables. in his last name hold on you sure it's not five okay i am yeah Dylan that's Dylan's talent if you're new here yeah i count syllables in my head it's very useless he thinks that's cool though yeah i mean i guess it's not it's not not cool yeah like there aren't many i mean ekeem elijuan is one you could if you pronounce your name differently i feel like you could extend it former number an overall pick, Michael Oloa Candy, is five. Yeah, that's great.
Starting point is 00:17:11 It's a lot. Janice. Ante. Tacuba. Five. Five. What's your favorite last name? No, anyway.
Starting point is 00:17:21 That's a good weekend. I didn't realize you were starting to move this so soon. Yeah. Okay. Plenty more to do. Moving sucks. Do you have any ice cold beers? I did.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Okay. Did have some ice cold beers. Randy? Randy? So I'm still moving in. Okay. Now, the thing I mainly did this weekend was just work on that tree shelf thing. I watched, I also got this nice framed thing that I told you guys about.
Starting point is 00:17:48 My grandfathered hand drew like log. So I finally got to pick that up and hang it over the mantle. So that was cool. But then mainly it was just, you know, drinking, watching anime and working on that shelf. I really did not do much this weekend. Like I said on Thursday, it was going to be a very Valcell weekend. and that's what it was drinking watching anime and very vol cell and volsail working on my project hey i'm i'm new here i'm not very online i just found out about the show from a friend
Starting point is 00:18:19 what's a val cell you see you see an in-cell is a person that is involuntary celbid and they're usually a shit guy and are very misogynistic because they can't get laid because they're in they blame women for it a vall cell like me is someone who's just not dating because, yeah. You love and respect women. You just happen to not participate in pursuing them. Just right now, I'm focused on other things. You love women so much that you choose to not burden them with you.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Exactly. Dave's got it. That takes a, that's a big man to admit that. Man, is there a young lady out there willing to try to flip Randy from his vall cell status? Oh, no, don't. No, you better not. Oh, so you're open to it. Whoa, whoa, I didn't say anything.
Starting point is 00:19:04 I just, you know. All right, Dave. Let's hear about Vail, man. you guys can stop sending me the the A&M sorority dance video that features the yell leaders I'm not seen. I'm legit. I was offline
Starting point is 00:19:19 I don't know if it's an old one but it's been sent to me a number of times and I'm like okay, it is it is what it is. Yeah, I'm going to have to see that, I think. Yeah. I mean, it made me, it still made me pretty upset. It made me pretty angry, honestly, but for multiple reasons.
Starting point is 00:19:36 Yeah. So you might have noticed I was out last Thursday. I missed the show. I had a, I had a trip to Vail for my fantasy football draft. More on that in a minute. And specifically scheduled the flight. So I wasn't going to miss the Thursday show. The flight was supposed to go out. It was like 3.30 from Austin, connected in Dallas, and flew right into Eagle Vale. get up Thursday morning, start getting the notice on my phone, like, flight has been bumped. It's been delayed 30 minutes. And, you know, this is 10 hours before the, you know, I guess nine hours before the flight. I'm like, it's not a good sign. It's also not a good sign because it went, my window for connecting, I had about a 40-minute window to play with.
Starting point is 00:20:31 It went to 10. That's not much. No. And got another one, and I was like, well, this isn't going to work. So I call American Airlines. Yeah, I just named them. Whoa. They'll be okay.
Starting point is 00:20:45 They somehow always survive. Despite screwing everybody over. Yeah, despite a lot of things. But they're like, yeah, pretty full. We can get you into Denver tomorrow morning at 5 a.m. Denver's like 120 miles from where. I was and also at 5 a.m. I would have missed playing golf Friday, which is kind of a big draw and going there. So it became pretty clear that my only option was going to be to hit the road
Starting point is 00:21:19 and go to Dallas-Fort Worth and fly. Just make that leg of the flight. And I did. So I left it like, I left here at like 10. Went to my parents' place, my dad. Shout to my dad for dropping me off at the airport. And I made my flight and got into Vail, had a great weekend. And then yesterday, I returned home. I flew into DFW. Everything was on time. My dad picked me up from the airport.
Starting point is 00:21:50 We got Schlotsky sandwiches on the way home. Oh, luncheon learn. I ate them at the house. And then I drove three hours home. And it was a long three hours. It was not. Waco's having more problems. It's, if you've driven 35 recently,
Starting point is 00:22:04 it's just it's not great and there was like a i feel like there's about an eight-month period where it was it was actually fine you could make it in sub three but it's been tough uh so should i just go ahead and give me give my veil thoughts right now please do okay great town yes veil is awesome and sadly i will probably i will probably never go back unless it's for it feels like the only time I'm ever going to go back is if somebody books like a ski trip to Vail and part of me does want to go back
Starting point is 00:22:44 even though I'm not a ski guy I do want to go see what that place looks like when it's popping ski season because it's going to all of like the locations in town and Vail Village when it's like summer I'm like I'm just sitting there looking like we're sitting under the gondola or whatever
Starting point is 00:23:01 looking up at the mountain I'm like oh I bet this is so sick when there's snow on the ground like so sick um that being said it it was phenomenal we stayed uh right there in the middle of vale village um for having like 10 dudes 12 dudes stayed out of trouble for the most part um not a lot of big groups of guys going to veil in the summer I'll tell you who really likes Vail. Women our age, specifically white women our age. They love Vail.
Starting point is 00:23:38 They do. It is a lot, a lot of white women. A lot of people also from, I noticed, a lot of people from Mexico City, like to vacation in Vail. We met a lot of people that were cool. Was it too early in the season for the big felt wide brim hats? It was literally my question too. They were out.
Starting point is 00:23:55 They were out. Of course they were. They were out. There were people flying home who clearly picked up some hats. And there was a woman on the plane who, when she was waiting at baggage claim, had one hat and then had the hat she clearly just purchased on top of that. She was double-hatted up at baggage claim, which you don't see that very often. We saw the ones. Kimosabi, is that the store that's there? Is it? I don't know. They're all over those mountain towns. Those boosy mountain towns. Yeah, extremely boozy. I saw a lady when we were, I think we were somewhere.
Starting point is 00:24:29 I think it was in Louisville and she was wearing two cowboy hats in the airport. It was like, what is going on? Yeah, I mean she copped while she was there. She copped. Yeah. Straight up cop. It's a cop move. It's a cop move.
Starting point is 00:24:40 I'm going to give a shout to my real guy of the week. Oh. My real guy of the week. It's not who you think. It is a guy at baggage claim yesterday who had been traveling to Vail. He's on my plane with his family. and there was a as i'm waiting for oversized i went for my golf clubs there's like a group of guys that were clearly on a golf trip to vale or somewhere around there and they had a dude just kind
Starting point is 00:25:08 of standing there and the bags were coming off and everybody was getting their golf clubs and this dude was at oversized and now it comes this thing that's not a golf bag it's not golf clubs and it's just a foldable stroller and he just walks up and grabs it and like looks up at everybody with their golf clubs he goes yeah this isn't as cool is what you guys did you guys had a better trip than i did it's like yeah we don't want to say anything so that's my real guy of the week you can just see it on his faith he's just watching everybody get their clubs he's like one of the guys in this group had like a a trophy like from their like you know dumb little golf tournament yeah my weekend wasn't as fond yeah he's like yeah cool man you know i push my kid around
Starting point is 00:25:47 denver my wife's wearing two hats over there they're stacked upon each other my kids over that and ready to get home. My best meal of the week, my favorite meal, and I went rogue on this, and I don't know how you guys feel about me doing this, but Saturday night, we didn't really have a plan. We'd already done two group dinners, but there was some guys more on this in a minute who went to a sushi place in town. I didn't really want sushi. There's an Italian place in town that I had been recommended by a number of people,
Starting point is 00:26:19 including some bartenders that I trust. Solo dinner? Mm-hmm. Fazzolis? Shout to the bartender of Georgia's. George is a good spot in Veil. Nona. La Nona.
Starting point is 00:26:31 La Nona. Very hard to get into. And I was like, you know what? I'm going to do this move. Italian food sounds great. I want something hearty. Broke off from the group at George's and I said, I'm just going to go fend for myself. Walked up to the bar and I said, hey, how hard would it be for me to get a spot and, like, eat here?
Starting point is 00:26:47 They're like, well, that group down there just closed out so you can slide in there. And I did, and I sat at Nona for about two hours. Oh. I got rigatoni. They make all their pasta in-house. Megatoni. It was so good. Damn, man.
Starting point is 00:27:03 It was just phenomenal. Dude, that mountain Italian just hits diff. And my favorite meal. What did you have to drink, Dave? Well, I've got a major announcement. This is big. Give me a little fanfare. Did you get a little Kianti Classico?
Starting point is 00:27:17 Some fanfare? You want people to start cheering for you? I don't know what you're going to say yet. Well, they know that I got something cooking. Okay. They know Daddy's cooking. At D.C. Rough on Instagram, by the way. If you think Dave's cooking, add them on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:27:32 If you've seen that photo that I posted a couple days ago, then you already know this. But the biggest story of the weekend to come out of Vail is it Dave's back in on Rose. Yeah? They're shocked. I'm back in. I don't remember the last time I had Rose A. Jose. I remember when we first moved to Austin and, like, everybody, like, the coolest thing you could do would be go to brunch. That's how exciting life was. That was a, Rose was a big player then. I just, I got the, I got the itch to try Rosee and I had it. Is this a, this is not that La Nona? No, that is at the bar at the Sebastian, the Gambit. This is a sex, a sexy, sultry picture of you. Thank you. I had even, I've been offline. I hadn't seen it yet. He hadn't even seen it. He's double. tap. That's a live double tap.
Starting point is 00:28:23 I'll throw it up here for the people. This on your Instagram. Where can people find that? Again, at DC Rough. But yeah, I did post this. You got the hard eyes from Alyssa. That's cute. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah, that's me.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Yeah, I'm back in on Rose. I'm like looking over at someone's girl you're about to steal. And the real, you might be asking, no, I could tell you, there was about 10 dudes sitting there making fun of me for drinking rosé and that's why the photo was taken it wasn't like hey i want to get a gram off it was like all right we got to get a picture a day of drinking rosé i'm not trying to ride coattails here i love rosay still i prefer still to sparkling this guy's kind of glazing me pretty hard right now
Starting point is 00:29:05 dude it's great it's great if you're comfortable enough in your own skin you can drink rosé wherever it doesn't matter i had no less than four glasses of rosé and veil damn that's a poor too man i did something that i guarantee no one is doing I had a glass of rosé, I had a cappuccino, while I was wearing golf shoes, in Vail Village. I'm trying to just picture this in my mind. Okay. Yeah, I leave the golf course. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:39 They're like, hey, let's go to, there's this little band or this husband and wife or whatever that play. And they're playing at some spot in Lion's Head. let's go post up there i'm wearing my golf clothes my golf shoes i don't have an extra pair of shoes because they're in somebody else's car who went home whatever dude i'll go sit down on a patio my golf shoes i'm secure enough i don't care and yeah i went cappuccino rosé on them in golf shoes have you ever heard of that have you ever heard of someone doing i'm pretty sure that's never been done before dave what you have what was your meal with rosay and cappuccino surely like you had something light i had a pokey bowl okay jeez
Starting point is 00:30:20 I hit him with the pokey. Sheesh. Hot boy summer over here. I went pokey. Me and Tyler, just munching pokey. You like that shit? Yeah. You like what I'm putting down, white boy?
Starting point is 00:30:31 I do. Okay. I respect it. I'm glad you do. I'm just interested. You're telling me all about this food. And I have a picture here of by far definitely your best meal. So I'm just waiting for that.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Well, I just want to also point out my boots in case you're wondering, to Kovas. And yeah, they're pointed west. Okay. You made sure you face West for the picture. I did. I did. We could get that geotracker guy. What is it?
Starting point is 00:30:56 Oh, it's not hard to figure out. He could, he could confirm whether or not you're, what's that guy's name? Who does, you know what I'm talking about? Rainbolt? Rainbolt, yeah. Rainbolt, like, no, actually you're pointed to the Southwest. Oh, man. Slightly off track.
Starting point is 00:31:09 That would totally rock my world if Rainbow exposed me. He'd figure it out real fast. Now for the bad. we went to Elway Steakhouse Friday it was a good steakhouse service was great well run I had a ribeye bone out didn't eat the bone in it was good it was cooked exactly how I wanted it was it was very good I sat down thinking all right I'm with de boys I'm gonna get a steak And like, you already know what I'm getting for my side. Like, what do you think, D, man?
Starting point is 00:31:50 What do you think I'm getting for a side? I don't even know. Back in the day, I would have said a wedge salad, maybe a big potato now. I don't know what if you're in or out of them. I led, well, because I'm, dude, I'm always switching it up to keep y'all guessing. Like, once y'all figure it out, I'm on to the next. When you think he's going to zig, he's axed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:04 I started out with a Caesar salad, lovely. They didn't, they didn't have anybody standing over me to crack the pepper. I had to pepper it myself. I kind of wish you were still away. I liked you better when you're a wedge guy. No offense. The wedge is just sometimes so much. It's a lot.
Starting point is 00:32:18 It's a lot. Some are saying the wedge is the chips and salsa of the steakhouse. Cook on that. I think the bread is, though. Shut up, Randy. Okay. You're right. And I said, you know what?
Starting point is 00:32:32 I'm going to get a big old loaded baked potato. Okay. He's back in. Yeah. Order it. I'm so sorry. We actually just ran out of baked potato. What the...
Starting point is 00:32:44 Hold on a second. I got this. The crowd doesn't... They got this. They're out of baked potatoes. How'd you handle that? I left without paying. No, I ordered something else.
Starting point is 00:33:00 I got asparagus. You can't be out of baked potatoes if you're a steakhouse. It's like McDonald's being out of fries. It's like showing up to Subway and finding out of bread. Yeah, someone forgot to bake bread the night before. the night before and then like find out your favorite employee there got left off the schedule it's just like that your favorite employee and now I'm thinking that you had a regular and it's like hey where's Dave and like oh you know I wouldn't let him go there long enough to have a
Starting point is 00:33:26 favorite or be anybody's favorite certainly not my managers oh yeah so they're out of baked potatoes so cool I just was it's just a funny thing to be out of because you imagine like if there's one thing they bought too many of it's baked potatoes yeah yeah right right They're pretty easy to come by, too. I wonder if it's a tariff play. They couldn't have gone to the grocery store and just load it up on potatoes. You'd think. There's a number.
Starting point is 00:33:49 There's a Costco right by the airport. Like, oh, shit, we're out of potatoes. Let's just run down to the market. Hey, someone's clearly going to order these because it's a baked potato and it's a steakhouse. So, yeah, they were out. And then for a little, I'm not going to name names, but somebody in my group. So these are all guys I went to college with. that's that aforementioned sushi dinner that I did not attend they were uh these guys get a little
Starting point is 00:34:19 loose and there's a guy in the group who thinks it's real funny he'd i guess he'd won a little money gambling he likes to like try to get people to do dumb stuff by paying them and um he offered a guy five hundred dollars to drink the carafe of soy sauce it's a bad idea so i was not there i was at my solo dinner i would have advised against this so i told you out there that there was a hazing ritual where a kid died doing exactly this a pledge the pledge was made to drink a you know a little bottle of soy sauce i pulled up the news story he was in a coma recovered so he didn't actually die i was wrong about that part but it is life-threatening if you ingest too much sodium well um
Starting point is 00:35:09 I have the video, and I won't be playing it, but did you see it? I show it to you before? No. He's got the little saucer, and he pounds it. And I'm like, oh, that's all he drank. Then he gets the thing, fills it up again, fills it up four times. Oh, my God. So what happened?
Starting point is 00:35:26 Well, within five minutes, he's in the bathroom at the restaurant. Full body explosion. It's real time. Both, dude. Both ends? In public. Both, did he get it out of his system though? Did he vomit it?
Starting point is 00:35:42 Yeah. Okay, good. That's the best case. Best case, but like hugging a public toilet. Oh. You don't want to be there. Oh. They said he got really white and he said he got really cold.
Starting point is 00:35:57 And I'm like, dude, I'm like, I'm like reading this on a group text. I'm like, dude, what? And then he went home. Also, by the way, this is my roommate on the trip. Okay. And I'm like, okay, like selfishly, I'm thinking, oh, man, I'm going to get up pretty early tomorrow. I'm about to be in for a long night. Dude, bad idea.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Don't do that. Don't chug the soy sauce. No. Yeah, that's bad. Turn around, don't drown. Don't chug the soy sauce. Those are my things. But he got $500 out of it.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Don't chug soy sauce. It's very bad for your body. When I got back to the room, he was doing the really unstable thing of, like, First of all, he was awake and in good spirits, but he was just like, yeah, I came home and I, uh, I chugged a couple liquid deaths that I bought at the, at Target. I was like, okay, but he was also watching, uh, Dune on his phone while, uh, there's a movie playing on the TV in the hotel room. And I was just like, why don't you just pick one of the others?
Starting point is 00:36:59 He's double watching? Why are you double watching? Like, what, what's going on? Like, that was a, like, I was most worried about that. Hypernetremia, for those wondering, what the condition is called when you have too much blood, or sorry, salt in the blood. Hypernetremia is what your friend was experiencing. And then, so I, like I said, I had to get up really early. I had to get up like 5, 520. And so I'm like, hey, man, I'm going to go to bed. It was like 11, 1130.
Starting point is 00:37:25 And I was like, I'm just going to turn off one of the TVs that you're watching, one of the screens. And I was like, he's like, I'm going to hang out. He's like, my wife said I shouldn't go to bed for a little while. just in case because she was like really worried about him as she should have been so he was just going to stay up to make sure he didn't just to make sure he was like out of the woods and I was like all right well god uh so yeah don't do that how do you don't chug the the carafe feel the next day he said he was fine didn't feel it didn't feel great feel great but he said he didn't feel as bad as he thought good grief um also had another
Starting point is 00:38:06 dude who played with me, who played really well in our little, our little golf gambling comp the next day. We played Red Sky, which is a great spot. They've got a Norman and a Faws. It's kind of one of those courses to where I don't play much mountain golf. I don't know if you, you played in Colorado, right? Yeah. Play with Klein and Denver. So it's one of those things where they tell you like, hey, you're going to have, like all these greens, they look like they're going to break one way, but everything breaks toward the valley. Everything breaks toward that mountain over there. And it's totally,
Starting point is 00:38:39 totally messes with your head. And is it accurate? Yeah, I mean, it does. There's stuff that you look at and you're like, well, that is absolutely going to be a sweeping left to right put that is not.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Weird. Yeah, it is weird. Very fun, very, very tough greens. But yeah, shout out red sky.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Good track? Yeah, good track. Good track. Good track. I was hitting my nine iron like 160. Yeah. It's a really fun feeling.
Starting point is 00:39:03 It flies out there. It really flies out there. Elevation of Vail? I think it's like eight or nine. It's up there. Yeah. It hits you too. You feel it a little bit.
Starting point is 00:39:13 Oh, yeah. You feel a little bit, but now I kind of feel like Superman. Right. Now that I'm back down here, it's like I was just training at altitude. That's all that was. That's right. You ever have somebody order a baked potato and get denied at altitude? I bet you can't say that you know anybody who's done that before.
Starting point is 00:39:28 No. Well, actually, you're the first. Yeah, and boots and all that. I'm different. So all and all, just great trip. Oh, by the way, my partner I was talking about, we didn't think he was going to make it because he went really hard the night before. And right before we're about to leave, he walks down. He's like, yeah, I passed out on top of the covers of my bed in these clothes that I wore yesterday. And he just went to the golf course in them because he just wears like
Starting point is 00:39:53 golf clothes. That's like his look. So he just went to the golf course in the clothes that he passed down on top of the comforter in. You don't have to get ready if you stay ready. That's exactly what happened. Played well. Played well. That's hilarious. Played well. So, uh, Slept in his golf club. Vail gets two thumbs up. Yeah. Vail rules if, if I don't know if it's a good spot for 10 guys to go to, but maybe like four guys to go to if you're going to play some golf and do a couple dinners. I want to go to La Nona. Sounds dope. Well, La Nona. Well, you were there for a very important weekend and I have a very, a request from the chat here from Trevor Hughes earlier on. He wanted you to break down your team in
Starting point is 00:40:31 detail please. Dave, can you tell us who you drafted? No, I can't. Why? They didn't draft. We didn't do the draft. They didn't do the draft. They went there for the draft and didn't decide not to do the one reason they went there. I hope no one's wives are watching this that are on the trip.
Starting point is 00:40:49 We just didn't, like, it was almost like we didn't even try. Like, I was like, oh yeah, what time we drafted tomorrow? I'm not going to do it. What? We're just going to enjoy veil while we're here. We're going to go to the. shakedown bar for the third night a row and drink high lives which is what we did uh but yeah i
Starting point is 00:41:10 don't know i'll let you know team man when uh i draft my team which'll probably be on like a wednesday at like nine and i'm going to be up till midnight what a beating oh god that's a fun trip though glad you had a good time dave dude honestly not that expensive really no i mean like the stuff the actual trip like if you stay at the where we stayed they can get you on at red sky and then get you on beaver creek country club which some guys did play i did not play i was like i'm good but kind of one of those deals and it was like everything i hear about veil is like it's incredibly bougie and like once you go into town it is boozy but like it wasn't crazy yeah i'm sure it picks up during peak season but yeah it's dude summertime in the mountains is
Starting point is 00:41:58 fucking awesome it was great I was living, dude. Yeah. Tim? That's like, I mean, like around 50 in the morning, got up to, we had a lot of cloud cover, but like it got up into, you know, the 80s, but it was not. Didn't feel 80. No.

Ben Griffin's had a good season. he played yesterday and he had kind of a shaky start i've got his scorecard pulled up and let me tell you how he started actually you know what just played the vid he gets to that yeah it's uh it's kind of an interesting story um so i i take creatine as a supplement and this morning i didn't take it until i basically teed off on one and i was at the end of my batch and i had this like basically a snowball of creatine. So I've been in my bucket for probably like a month. And I like broke it up
Starting point is 00:44:27 and put it in my water bottle, whatever. Like I'm all good. Like I've taken creatine on like off course before. It's fine. But I started taking it after my second shot and I accidentally swallowed like one of the one of the big rocks kind of that was in my water bottle. And I've never overdosed on creatine before. But I think I did in the moment because I didn't really drink any water after that. I basically just inhaled like a snowball. And so I should, started getting like super shaky and I've never felt like this before and I literally felt like I had tremors and I four putted one and then on two I like was freaking out and didn't know what to do and I like hit it so far out of bounds and then like luckily my caddy stepped in and like maybe
Starting point is 00:45:08 chug a whole water and like honestly like try to calm down a little bit and then I hit the other one in play and then I was fine I ended up making whatever a double on that hole and I bogey the next hole honestly it was probably more just like a little bit flustered but I was fine honestly after the second shot on two and then it was I felt good and so I went about my day and got it back to underpar but yeah pretty crazy story I don't think I'll be taking too much creatine in the future I will take it but not in the amount that I probably did on the golf course which wasn't probably a healthy amount I have to admit that's not what I was expecting to hear you guys yeah and like it's not really like I did hit bad shots but
Starting point is 00:45:50 I mean, I was physically shaking like I've never felt before, and I don't normally miss a lot of short puts. And it was really weird. Dude, he was absolutely zooted off that creatine. I didn't know that creatine could have this effect on you if you take too much and then don't fall with water. I'm a little skeptical. Is he meaning to say pre-workout or something? It feels like there was a pre-workout in there. That's what pre-workout will definitely do to you.
Starting point is 00:46:15 You guys can probably already tell if you're watching it. It's a visual show. But I am on creatine. finely tuned athletic machines we're on creatine as well i take i take i take creatine i do five milligrams a day i've been doing creatine since high school i do creatine too you do yeah that's really cool that you admit that yeah i've never this has never come up for me no if there's like one thing you don't really feel like a supplement it's like creatine you you could maybe feel it in your workout like with strength gains or something but like you don't take it and get like a bump from it my my guess is he he meant
Starting point is 00:46:49 pre-workout. I do like the specificity of the little snowball at the end. Yeah. By the way, he's talking about this like it's like some serious, like hard drugs, by the way. I mean, creatine, it will clump up. It's a clump play, a little bit, yeah? I don't know. But pre-workout will clump up and also, like, you can, some of the clums will stay clumped.
Starting point is 00:47:10 This is probably unnecessary information. No, I think people are. You know what I mean? Like, there's dudes going hell, hell yeah. Sustog. Yeah, get Sustog in here. Like I've taken pre-workout and there's like a chunk in there that just didn't dissolve properly. That's never happened to me with creatine.
Starting point is 00:47:24 Okay, so Ben Griffin alluded to getting it back under par. Can I give you his scorecard from yesterday? Yeah. Triple, double, bogey, par, par, par, bar, birdie, birdie, birdie. So 38 on the front after starting like that. Par, par, par, par, par, birdie, birdie, birdie, birdie. Shot 69. Can you imagine starting six over after three holes and then shooting a 38?
Starting point is 00:47:55 Can you imagine what that feels like? No. Oh, my God. Good for him. You got back on track. Lesson learned, I guess. 38, 31. After overdosing on creatine.
Starting point is 00:48:07 God. I feel like you can't optium. Yeah. It didn't sound like he overdosed. I'm a little confused. Yeah. I'm looking at it. And there's like C4 sport has creatine.
Starting point is 00:48:18 in it, too. So I think there is, like, pre-workouts with creotene. Maybe that's something like that. That's got to be it. So pre-work is not a banned substance then? Like, whatever they put in that, I mean, what they put in. The last thing I would want to take before playing a round of golf is a, is a pre-workout. Absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:48:34 Get, like, the top of your ears, like burning, you're just, that tingling. You're looking for something heavy to pick up, you know? All you want to do is just go bang out, push-ups, which I guess they can't stop you from doing. No. No. Shout out to Ben Griffin. You're just, like, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, plan partners teeing off and you're just kind of tweaking and they're like dude what's going on like
Starting point is 00:48:54 pre-workout got a snowball yeah in the water that's that that's my theory it was something like that where it's like had both in it so he just creatine but i don't think just like pure creatine will do that i do like that the pGA tour golfers are getting the creatine discussion started though did rory start this we've come a long way yeah i think he said he's taking like 10 10 milligrams a day does a lot Yeah, he takes a lot of it. Damn, I'm kind of interested. I kind of want to know this guy's, like, entire stack. I can't imagine Bryson was, too, when he was just completely...
Starting point is 00:49:29 When he was the most bloated man. He was absolutely taking creatine. You don't bloat like that without taking creatine, like, years. I went years without taking creatine, like, years. And I work out, you know, pretty regularly. And when I introduced it back into my routine, it was almost an immediate, like, very noticeable uptick in, like, the weight I was lifting. thing. I got immediately stronger doing it. It's like a super substance. It's crazy. Yeah. I mean,
Starting point is 00:49:55 people can already tell just from looking at the show watching us, but we're all creatineed out. Don't adjust your television sets. This is how jacked we actually are. Hey, Ben Griffin, drop that substack. Hit us with those subs. I want to know what else Ben Griffin's got in the mix. See, substack? Supstack. Nice. Not to be confused with substack, where you can go to wash.com. Right. Maybe we need wash. We need supsdog to cover this. Sups dog.
Starting point is 00:50:23 More on that. So I watched the Amy Bradley documentary on Nettie. If you give me the platforms, you discuss that. That one's really been popping off on the Nettie. Yeah, it's on Nettie. If you've logged into Nettie, it's been served to you probably. I think it's in the top 10 shows right now. It's a documentary about Amy Bradley, who went on a cruise with her family.
Starting point is 00:50:48 1998 okay all right and i'm just going to give you some of the highlights of the show super interesting show so she's on a cruise with her parents and her brother and one night they uh you know they're drinking to cruise is what people do she wasn't ready for the party to die down so she went to a a disco that night and she was alone at this disco on the cruise ship and she was scene dancing with like the the cruise base player like there's a band on the cruise all right so one of the things this is big on twitter might have been big content guys somebody was saying that they they smoked this guy or they did them wrong really well just like I don't know I might be mistaken on that but like somebody that they just absolutely went in on and like maybe
Starting point is 00:51:39 shouldn't have oh he seems like I mean he is the suspect so he is a suspect so she disappears okay so they hang out and then there's two people up on the deck they see them go up to the top deck and hang out a little bit and then she disappears she later is in the room in her room that she's sharing with her brother she's out on the balcony smoking cigarettes um they see her out there at like 530 a.m go back to sleep but she's like out there sleeping on the like oh well she's just she's enjoying the ocean breeze or whatever uh then they go to sleep wake up and she's just not there the the sliding glass door is open slightly and but she is nowhere to be found her shoes are still there her cigarettes are sitting there she's just gone and that same day the boat is docking and
Starting point is 00:52:30 carousel some some island in the caribbean i don't remember which one it is and so everyone gets off the boat then they get back on the boat and it's time to you know set sail again so they take off and she's still like nowhere to be found so of course security is alerted and authorities and they're looking for they she's nowhere to be found on the boat they like turn this boat inside out when everyone got off um she's nowhere to be found all right and so it's like oh shit she's either obviously like the you know prevailing theory is she went overboard that's what in cruise ships go overboard it's like a death sentence like pretty much you can't you know get back on the boat um some people saying that she committed suicide and she got drunk and went up on the rail
Starting point is 00:53:17 and fell over or whatever and so the cruise ends and the family's like obviously devastated they don't know what to do they don't know whether to stay there and keep looking for her or to go home and start making like funeral arrangements and so they fly back home and I'm like I don't I don't it's hard not to be a little bit judgy of the family I mean I try not to be like they're devastated, but flying home, not knowing where your daughter is, you know, a little questionable to me. And so it's a three-episode show. At the end of the first episode, they're like, yeah, she's probably gone.
Starting point is 00:53:54 It's really sad. And then there's a guy that interview him in the last like 20 seconds of the first episode. He's like, he's watching the news story about this girl who's missing on a cruise ship. And he goes, wait a minute, I just saw her. This is a month after, a month after the cruise. He goes, no, I just saw her on the beach in Carousel. Like, what? She was with two men, and then they walk up to this guy, and he tries to, or they start to talk,
Starting point is 00:54:19 and she's in the guys, like, one of the guys that she's with who resembles this bass player. His name, he goes by yellow, by the way. His name's Alistair Douglas, but he goes by yellow because he had yellow hair. And then he quickly, like, hurries her away. Like, no, you can't talk to this guy. He thought it was weird and didn't make, he didn't connect the dots until he saw the news about this young lady missing amy bradley and so it's like oh shit maybe she's still alive there have been and then over the years over the next like five years there are two more instances
Starting point is 00:54:50 of people seeing her on different islands around the caribbean uh looking like shit with men who are like controlling her so it's like okay she's been trafficked like she was kidnapped and she has now become you know a sex slave basically and um So that's that's kind of how it keeps going and they're like different theories are getting thrown out and the family's like they hear about her being spotted on these islands and they do go to their credit. They do go over there and look for her and then they don't find her. They just fly back home. They live in the U.S. Okay.
Starting point is 00:55:30 And I'm just like, man, if my kid is missing and like she's being spotted and like people are like, I'm 100% sure it was her. Like she even introduced herself to his Amy when I talked to her. There was a at one point, there was this guy who was in the Navy and they docked on one of these islands and he wanted to get into one one night and went to this like sketchy dive bar on an island, was had struck up a conversation with this young lady and ends up being Amy Bradley and she's like, I'm being held against my will. And he he's his explanation, he said, I didn't report it immediately to the FBI because I didn't want to get in trouble for I wasn't supposed to be at this bar or something because he
Starting point is 00:56:03 was working at the Navy, which is like, dude, what? he just brushed it off and then he later comes forward when he sees like more news start to come out about her still missing he's like oh yeah that's definitely her her name's Amy and then they find they later find a picture of her on the internet uh all like she looks awful looks like she's on drugs and her hair's long and and it was like a prostitution website and they did like a forensic analysis of the pictures and like the FBI's like we're pretty sure that's her and the family keeps flying over there and then flying back and I just want to be like just set up shop like someone go undercover and like try to you know go on this island and like yeah I'm looking at some fun
Starting point is 00:56:52 and like it just whole time you're like just do do more to go find this young lady how much help are they getting from like US authorities versus at the the FBI is investigating the whole time okay it's still to this day an open investigation i don't know how active the investigation is um but it's still an open investigation and because of because of how when this whole thing went down so alster douglas is the prime suspect but it happened over international waters so the jurisdiction like doesn't exist they can't like detain this guy what's he doing now he lives he lives somewhere in the Caribbean still. Like is he at one point his daughter who is they were they didn't keep in touch I think he was not around when she was a kid his daughter is being interviewed on this documentary and she's like
Starting point is 00:57:39 yeah I'm pretty sure that he is like a sketchy like sex trafficker said he they found his mom found a binder full of like pictures of a bunch of Caucasian women and she calls him on the show it's on speaker phone and she's like I just don't understand like what happened like with Amy Bradley and he claims innocence he's like i didn't do anything wrong it's just fucking weird man and it's like another story was leaked that she like pop she has kids now like she was impregnated by somebody what it's fucking bizarre it's it's a fun watch it's devastating and the the poor brother he's like 48 now i think this happened in 1998 long time ago he's 48 now he's like it's like I didn't have kids this is like one of the most devastating parts like I didn't have
Starting point is 00:58:29 kids after seeing what my parents went through losing a child like I that's why I decided not to have kids and like they're still holding out hope to this day that she's going to return home somehow even though this happened 27 years ago are the what was the island again or what Curacao is the main one mentioned but there's a Barbados mention in there so are they are they co-op do they cooperate like with the investigation or that part's a little hazy they they do there is a guy like a law enforcement guy from one of these islands that says he's trying to help but you know they they put out like wanted one of posters all over the place like missing person with a reward on it and so they would get tips every now and then being like oh yeah I know where she is
Starting point is 00:59:09 like go to this there's like go to this sketchy part of the island um don't talk to anyone um because if they know you're a tourist you're going to get like mugged or killed like it's a very dangerous part a lot of sex trafficking and drug like drug trafficking yeah i mean it's i know it's i've heard it's really well done i just also it sounds really depressing it's super depressing okay yeah super depressing um yeah she was apparently just i don't know how they got her off the ship but they did and she is presumably she could probably maybe still alive maybe not we don't know but if she is alive she's in you know she's living this like other really really terrible life somewhere it's fucking awful okay do we dare watch the uh yogurt shop murders that that's another one that's that
Starting point is 00:59:57 on the netty also that's getting a lot of play i think that's an hbo show okay so that one's interesting to me personally because i lived about a mile from the yogurt shop during this um my sister who was in high school at the time knew one of the young ladies killed and so it has it has like a close to home feel for me i'm still going to watch it and that that shop like i used to drive by it every day And like for years, it was like no one occupied that space. It's right there off Anderson Lane. Yeah, I know where it's. Yeah, you drive by it.
Starting point is 01:00:28 And for years, they just didn't do anything with the, they took the signage down, but you could see like where the letters used to be up there. It was just an empty storefront, just really eerie. And I think now it's like a secondhand sports store. You can go in there. I mean, it's, I've been in there. It's weird. But I do want to watch that one.
Starting point is 01:00:45 That's also a cold case. They don't, no one was ever convicted on that one. but yeah i think four young women were killed and then they set the place on fire to you know cover up all the evidence for it damn yeah um randy do you have any like thing more fun or uplifting do you've been watching no any cool animas like tentacles uh actually kaiju number eight is the one i started this weekend okay we said we were going to watch that one yeah um i i didn't realize i think i live right by that yogurt shop place it's right by the mattress firm that has the bar on top of it now.
Starting point is 01:01:20 Oh, I don't know, I don't know. There's a mattress firm with a bar on top of it. Yeah, yeah, it's not part of the mattress firm. It's a, it's a restaurant that just happens to have an outdoor bar outside of it. So it's an outdoor patio restaurant. I think it's like a pizza place. But yeah, you can go to this mattress firm and above it. Go and get you a cold beer, hoss.
Starting point is 01:01:38 That's exciting. Maybe things go well. Of course, matches firm is a front for money laundering. That's right. That's right. That's right. Factory. Don't talk about that enough.
Starting point is 01:01:44 Factory mantras is going out of business, Dave. So if you need a pillow or something. If things go well with you up at the bar restaurant, you can maybe bring somebody down to a mattress firm and buy a mattress together. We're at least a company. Test them all up. So, fuck mattress firm. Exactly. Cut out the middle man.
Starting point is 01:02:04 Yeah. Yeah. So it's a super interesting watch. It's also a very sad watch. Okay. There were parts of the show where I was like, I wonder if there's going to be a grand reveal at the end where they found her and she's going to be interviewed. But it doesn't happen. you feel like you you could hire like okay this is this is going to sound really dumb
Starting point is 01:02:21 you hire like ex like CIA guy or like massad to like all right we just got to go like just infiltrate yeah yeah yeah infiltrate the the sex trafficking operation that's all you got to do i mean i know that sounds like easy in theory but like it's like in my head's like okay it's an island you know there's a good chance she's on one of these islands yeah okay yeah but like i'm sure At one point, they created a website for Amy. It's like, and they keep updating it with like, it's a missing, you know, Amy Bradley's missing. If you have information, please contact us, blah, blah, blah. And they had to keep updating with pictures.
Starting point is 01:02:58 And they tracked all the IP traffic to this website. And there was a place in Barbados that was just lighting up, like constantly, lighting up. And it was lighting up, especially during holidays and Amy's birthday. and like okay either people over there are like pinging this website to see if they have any information or amy's like over there on the internet like looking at pictures of her family or seeing updated pictures of her family whatever but then it's like if she has internet access why can't she just reach out like hey i'm here is there a reward i one of the they didn't mention it in the show but one of the posters had a reward listed on okay yeah got it's sad okay okay
Starting point is 01:03:45 Are we going to run it back? I didn't do it running back. We had such a full running. Tomorrow we got to talk about fake bebes at the wind and other stuff as well. It'd be a fun one. May have a guest later in the week. We're lining things up.
Starting point is 01:04:04 Okay. All right. Don't forget. To put it together a circling back on touching base. That's probably what we'll be doing tomorrow. Okay. Don't forget. It's a steam week.
