Starting point is 00:00:00 Metal Ranchos. I missed it. All right, we're back. Circling Back podcast, Wednesday morning. I say we're buying a soundbar. We're going to buy. You could do it on your phone. There's an ad.
Starting point is 00:00:28 No, no, no, no. A soundbar like for the soundbar. Well, those are turned down. You can turn them on. But I just want a little bit more thump. It might mess with the acoustics or the audio in here. No, find a way. We need an audio guy.
Starting point is 00:00:41 We need Timo in here. Was Timo an audio guy? Yeah, he's the audio guy. Remember? I feel like he was Using everything. He was a Russian death metal guy. His specialty was audio. What was the kind of what was the band or the kind of music he liked so much? It was Mongolian throat singing. Mongolian throat singing. Yeah. Yeah, which is also one of my favorites. Used to date a girl. Nevermind. Come on.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Producing Randall Trimbaki. Hi Dave. Hey I can, there you are. Hey. You see me behind my screens? No you can't. What are you doing over there? No you can't.
Starting point is 00:01:16 Just producing, you know. Like I do. What a morning in Austin, Texas. Also joining me is Dylan Shivery. I'm not gonna have back on. I'm not gonna sit here and say, Oh, it felt crispy or anything this morning. It didn't but it was 72 degrees and the humidity I believe was at 28%. I took Stella for a two and a half mile walk and I didn't even
Starting point is 00:01:38 sweat. And it was a wonderful morning. That is in Austin. That is a rarity for July. It literally, I don't remember the last time that happened. This guy walks and doesn't sweat. It was different. It was so nice. He, uh, he felt the need to text all of us about how nice it was. I do like to show a lot of love on that. I do like to share with my friends when it feels pleasant
Starting point is 00:01:56 outside and it usually gets no response from anyone. And that was the case. We talked about it yesterday. We knew it's wasn't a surprise. But the boys were monitoring the situation. But if, if I had received said text message and I was like in bed, whatever drinking coffee, like I do. Nice. It's early in the morning. I'd be like, oh yeah, it feels nice. I would step outside to enjoy it. That's why I would pass it along to you guys as a little reminder. Randy probably wasn't awake yet. He's a late riser.
Starting point is 00:02:19 What were you doing at that time when the text came through? Where were you when the text came through? Do you remember? I was probably in bed just enjoying, enjoying my, my morning thing about, Hmm, am I going to drip out today? And then I was like, yeah, I am going to drip out today. The chat is going wild for the shirt ready. You're right. It is the make it rain Coles cash shirt.
Starting point is 00:02:39 Way better than Dylan's. He's draped up and dripped out. This was supposed to be about the weather. It doesn't have to be about you. Okay. But do you not notice that our producers draped up and dripped out? Of course supposed to be about the weather. It doesn't have to be about you. Okay. But do you not notice that our producers draped up and dripped out right now? Of course. The most thrilling talk conversation you can have, the weather. The olds who are listening appreciate weather talk.
Starting point is 00:02:54 It was nice this morning. How does that country song go about how old men talk about their weather? Why don't you go ahead and sing a verse? I can't remember what song it is. How do you think it goes? It's women talk about old men, old men talk about the weather. Oh yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. There's something there. There's something there. No, it warmed up quickly as it will do when it's very dry like that, but it was nice. It was nice. I did my little, I did a lap. I'd like to get out, get some sun in the morning.
Starting point is 00:03:26 I want to, I want to sing this one. I just got to find the, it's Rainey Travis forever and ever. Amen. Is the song of course, as long as old men sit and talk about the weather, as long as old women sit and talk about old men, you're not going to get that on any other podcast, especially one that's doing it live. That's not something we had planned. You're not gonna believe it. We didn't have that on the rundown. Randy, you're about seven years away from being a weather watcher.
Starting point is 00:03:50 It comes for us all. I'm a bird watcher. I'm already in bird watching. It comes for us all. I chose birds over weather. Brett's a bird, I got Brett. You can do both. I got Brett into the weather. It's not, Brett's into the weather now too. Brett is a big weather guy.
Starting point is 00:04:04 I appreciate that about him. You'll get there, Randy. No, I already chose my class, my school. And that is of the birth, Randy. Randy only cares about two things, hot or cold. Exactly. And he wants it hot. And I want hot.
Starting point is 00:04:15 He's a sweaty boy. Can you get on board with the humidity being a negative? Depending, for my houseplants, they like humidity. So it's probably better for my house plants that's human. Jesus. My ferret likes it. Likes it humid too. I hate this joke.
Starting point is 00:04:33 I feel like you're gonna joke your way into actually owning a ferret. You don't want to meet ferret Dudley? No, we're not doing, don't name your ferret. I can't take credit for that. That was someone in the chat. That was someone in the chat yesterday. Whoever it was.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Whoever did that is good. Ferret Dudley. So something I'm grappling with in like promoting the show. So we do Monday through Thursday now and it's live. So we want as many people to watch it live as possible. Send out a tweet, post an Instagram story. The first one we did Monday, we sent out an email blast to our, um,
Starting point is 00:05:06 sub stack, not just our sub stack, but to everybody in our mailing list. And I'm almost wondering if we should do that every day or is that too much? I don't want to bombard the people with too many emails and then they unsubscribe because of it, but I think one, I think at least one a week. See, I, I, I'm skewing the other way. Cause I follow, the shows I follow send them out every time and I'm- They do?
Starting point is 00:05:31 Well, I don't open them. I definitely am not gonna unsubscribe cause I like the show. Now we use that email list for more than just podcast promotion, but that's part of it. So I'm just wondering, cause it would bump our numbers. So I don't know. I'm just, that's something we're grappling with. I'm pulling back the curtain. We're grappling.
Starting point is 00:05:51 I will also pull back the curtain. A new initiative. Usually I used to post the link for the YouTube episodes on Reddit afterwards so that we could have a little discussions on the Reddit. I'm not going to do that every day. If you guys want to comment about how you thought the show was and all that, just go to the YouTube comments. That'll help us out. So I'm not, I'm not posting these the Reddit. I'm not going to do that every day. If you guys want to comment about how you thought the show was and all that, just go to the YouTube comments. That'll help us out. So I'm not, I'm not posting these on Reddit.
Starting point is 00:06:09 The Reddit's not going to like that. Yeah. Well, I mean, it was like, you know, some people, but go to YouTube comment. If you're, if you're watching right now, give us a like, if you're live chat, everyone live chat right now, give us a like, this helps us get that algorithm up. You know what that means? And comment, comment below.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Hey, I have a confession to make. When a live stream has concluded, I don't know how to find the YouTube comments. Like the live chat? The live chat, yes. It's in the top right, there's a little thing that says show chat replay. Oh, I see it.
Starting point is 00:06:41 You just want to see if your joke landed? No, I just dropped some glizzies in the chat. I've never known how to do that. I see it now, Randy. Thank you. There it is. Wonderful. Cause there are comments under the YouTube, but those, those aren't the live comments.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Correct. You like live in game, real time analysis. I almost did that for the first one. I was like, I'm going to go back and watch it start to finish to see what the chat was saying. And then I was like, no, I'm not going to do that. I'll just drop in a little bit here and there and see what's going on. But hey, today's Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:07:10 You might be like, hey, are we going to hear what these guys are doing on the weekend? No. Tomorrow you'll hear. That's tomorrow, you dumb dumb. Yeah. OK, hope you like that, because that's what's happening. Also tomorrow. Actually, no, Friday. Man, if you're a patron, Friday's gonna be a big day for you. Like a big day.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Yeah. You're getting, you're low key getting spit roasted by content. Content is gonna have its way with you basically. You're getting listener voicemails. You're getting a live coffee Friday. You're getting a live coffee Friday. And you're getting a newsletter. And you're getting listener voicemails. You're getting a live coffee Friday. You're getting a live coffee Friday. And you're getting a newsletter.
Starting point is 00:07:48 And you're getting a newsletter. Holy shit. It's like a spit roast plus. Friday might be the day. The newsletter is gonna be sitting in that little chair in the hotel room, all the audio content's having its way. Jesus. I know, it's just, I didn't know how else to put it.
Starting point is 00:08:01 That's disturbing. Yeah. Hey, Payton, old intern Payton is in the chat and she has liked and subscribed. Tough timing for me. Hey, congrats. Thank you, Payton. Congrats on the nuptials, Payton.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Yeah. Yes. Which camera should I be doing the hand raid recently? To that one over there. We miss you, Jay. Yeah, congratulations. We're very happy for you. And your husband seems like a fantastic young man.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Bring him by. Come by the new studio. Yeah, bring him. They're due soon. Bring them by. Introduce some to your uncles over here. Yeah, I don't know. I wasn't gonna say that. At least I think that's old intern Peyton, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Probably is. We have at least three Peytons who listen. One of them's a dude. So that's all I can tell you. Next week, next week is teacher week. And as a guy who has been going through teacher week voicemails, we might have to have multiple teacher week. And as a guy who has been going through teacher week voicemails, we might have to have multiple teacher weeks.
Starting point is 00:08:49 It looks like we're gonna have multiple cringe weeks. Teacher week, I'm getting a ton. It's almost to the point where I think like, do we need to do every week as like a themed thing? I know we'd probably run into some issues there, but we're getting a ton of voicemails. So what? You could write, we could put teacher week
Starting point is 00:09:04 with the new tiles on the fridge or cringe week, whatever, like update the weeks on the fridge. Wow. Just throwing something out there. This guy, listen, I'm just, once you get his wheels turning, I'm just throwing it out there. Yeah. Hold on. Got it. They've got it.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Okay. Hold on. I'm taught that, that ended the ending. I'm throwing it up into the crowd. No, that was for the, I gotta go. Give it to the ending. I'm throwing it up into the crowd. No, that was for the, I gotta go. Give it to the kid. I'm on deck. Hey, but yeah, teacher week, if you have a teacher, if you have your Amazon list, if you're a teacher, you want us to post it so we can get the backers
Starting point is 00:09:37 to help clear it, email Dave at Wash Media. I've already got like nine or 10. And I think what I'm gonna do, because I want everybody to get like the same amount of love. Like, I don't want to just post, I don't want people just to go clear the top one and the ones at the bottom, I'm going to, I'm going to put them in, um, next week's substack for sure. And I'm going to post them on the circling backstories all week.
Starting point is 00:10:01 And then we're going to give them love on the shows. So we're going to clear as many of those as possible with the help of everybody. And it's crazy. I was looking through some of them and I totally forgot. Like, Oh yeah. Teachers just have to go like buy scissors. Post-it notes.
Starting point is 00:10:16 It's a damn shame. They shouldn't have to Kleenex ask public for help to buy scissors or construction paper. You ever paid for scissors? I have really, but I don't teach kids. Really? Yeah. Just like for home use.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Yeah. You know what I mean? I got some Japanese scissors I use for pruning my plants. Oh, is that right? How about that? Yeah. I got a daiso. You heard about this daiso place? No, tell me about it.
Starting point is 00:10:47 It's like a Japanese dollar store. It's right by our place. It's pretty sick. Looking very coiffed today, Randy. Please don't dox me. I don't want people knowing I live near you. Okay, sorry. Dave actually, Dave and I hang out often. Just like Dylan and Micah. That's a callback video right there. I have that. I have so many old. That's a great video. Grand ex videos on my phone.
Starting point is 00:11:07 Like in my camera roll, like from eight years ago. I've got some, I've got a great one. That's a classic. We should just repost. We should just repost it. There's nothing stopping us. Speaking of, we might be, we might be checking in with Mike on Friday. He's not able to do it in person, but we might be.
Starting point is 00:11:24 He's not the one going under in person, but we might be. He's not the one going under the knife though. Snip, snip. He's not the one. He's a different friend. Just so we're clear. Is it? Do you know that?
Starting point is 00:11:36 No. Wait, hold on. Is it Micah? I'm just asking. It sounded like you knew something. Become an Optimized or a Tuesday patron to find out on Friday. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Oh, I thought it wasn't. Well, we'll find out. You're gonna have to wait and see. Maybe I just shared some fake news. I don't know. We'll find out Friday, including me. I'm gonna find out. Hey, I wanna give a shout out,
Starting point is 00:11:59 speaking of the fridge magnets, to Jeremy Hart, J Hart as I call them, the Jart. He sent these in. I got in today. So we got a whole bag and on my desk, there was a, these are Scrabble magnets and you'll see here, we put steam on there. Why steam? Well, because that's, that's a promo code for an upcoming ad.
Starting point is 00:12:21 And I didn't know what else to do with it. We got a bunch. There's a big bag over there. I was going to, uh, I was going to spell out washed media and, uh, the M the E and the media and the ED and wash we're gonna, we're gonna connect. So it was like washed media. ED and washed. We don't have Bluetooth sponsor.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Why don't you laugh at that audience? That's, that's crazy. What you just thought of right there. It's a Scrabble play. It is a Scrabble play. That's good, Randy. Not bad man. Uh, Scrabble, a game that's just thought of right there. It's a Scrabble play. It is a Scrabble play. That's good, Randy. Not bad, man. Scrabble, a game that's stood the test of time.
Starting point is 00:12:49 I love Scrabble. It's a good one. More of a Boggle guy. Ever played Boggle? Boggle, yeah. Yeah, I like Boggle. Boggle's fine. Parcheesy?
Starting point is 00:12:57 That's an old man game. Scrabble's a thinking man's game, so you wouldn't be good at it, Randy. Boggle's a thinking man's game too. Is Boggle the one that has the thing in the middle or is that a different? Trouble, but like boggle is the one where it's like a bunch of dice letters and you shake it up. It's very similar. And then you have to try and make a bunch of words. How do you do it?
Starting point is 00:13:15 You gotta shake it up. Yeah. Sicko. It's a visual. You gotta sicko on them, folks. No, I think my old man thing is like, your Charleston Chew is my sorry. Although sorry is not that old man of a game, but it feels old man because it's a very basic game. Parks likes the old classics.
Starting point is 00:13:34 He's not into Scrabble yet, it's kind of advanced for a 10 year old, but Clue, Monopoly are two of his favorite games. They still make Mousetrap? I don't know. I never even knew how to play that. Well, here. They still make mousetrap. I don't know. I never even knew how to play that. Well, here's the thing about mousetrap. Like half of the time you spent playing it
Starting point is 00:13:51 was you setting it up and setting up the trap and trying to get the trap to balance on the little ladder part at the end. And if you bumped the board even slightly, it would go down and be like, ah, hold on, stop the game, gotta put it back up. And for like an eight-year-old who has relatively fine motor skills, but not like superb, that's a little tough.
Starting point is 00:14:10 They're still getting there. Mousetrap's not the best game. Great concept, but just not great execution. Give me Battleship too. Ooh, Battleship's fun. Yeah. Crossfire. Crossfire's a good one.
Starting point is 00:14:24 The commercial man, they're a hit. Crossfire. Yeah, that a good one. The commercial man, they were, they were heat. Yeah. That's one, that's one that'll hit the timeline. Somebody will just post the clip of that like old nineties commercial. Makes me want to go flip over to salute your shorts or something. We'll watch somebody get an awful waffle. I had a battleship game where it would spray you with water when you either got hit or you're like one of your ships sank.
Starting point is 00:14:47 That's awesome. It's kind of sick. What? Really? I think so. I feel like I'm not making this up. There was, there was a time in the, uh, the two thousands where there was a lot of water play in our games.
Starting point is 00:14:57 That's something you're into, right? The water sports. Sure. Have you ever seen people do, uh, the, the kayak, like a water polo on Lake Travis? No. Not like Travis on Ladybird Lake. Oh yeah. It's sick. Just recreationally or is there like a team? I don't know. It's like club sport. They, they like attach or tie up these, what is it? It's just like a, it's like a goal. It's like a net goal.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Yeah, yeah. It's a net goal. And they're in kayaks and they're playing water polo. And it's pretty intense. They play it a lot under the Mopac pedestrian bridge. Okay. Ladybird Lake. Oh, that's kind of sick.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Yeah. I've also seen them playing it in that little creek leading out to Ladybird Lake from Barton Springs at like freshwater tributary. I don't know what to call it. They played there too. It's like really, it's really intense. Omar and I were like paddle boarding one time and just like, let's just sit here and watch it.
Starting point is 00:15:55 You ever been paddle boarding out there and almost totally ruined the day of the row team? Like the, they don't, they are charging down their lane. If you're in their way, dude, they'll yell at you. You're an international champion. Are they? Oh, dude, the, the, the UT rowing is, is the elite of the elite. They're bad-ass. Dude, it's just every day is back day. Yeah. Yeah. It's just, it's the widest backs. Just a bunch of Dan's down there and Just everybody down there built like SpongeBob. Do they, do they have any like little Thailand boys that just are fucking
Starting point is 00:16:28 or a farming out there? They don't have little Thailand boys. No, weirdly don't refer to them as Thailand boys. I don't know. Well, I don't know. Thai youth. Is that where that young man was from? I think so. That guy's a, he's become a celeb.
Starting point is 00:16:44 He had, I mean, he's also, he's inspired a nation full of douchebags, our nation, to emulate him. Yeah. Imitate him even. Recreationally on the front of their Malibu or their mastercraft. And it's just going to end poorly for somebody. I think I saw a guy doing it on the front of a golf cart once too. Really? Yeah. That's a lot better. We've come a long way from running over your friends,
Starting point is 00:17:11 breaking bones in their legs. Look, say what you want about the danger of that hobby, but it was so much fun watching from afar and posting videos of it online. There's a funny comment here that I have to address. Someone said, Dylan won the Twister Championship at the Zeta House in 03.
Starting point is 00:17:27 I find that funny because I did win these Twister Championship for Alpha Phi back in 2013. They were doing Twister stuff, like with the- It was a philanthropy play? It was a philanthropy play. Were you naked? I was the champion. No, I was not.
Starting point is 00:17:40 I was not naked, but I did win. How did that work out for you long-term, like with the ladies? Where do you have them like, hey, good job, man. This guy is good at Twister, he must be good in bed also. Let's go get some frozen yogurt. That's when my Valsel journey started right there. I was like, hey ladies, stop.
Starting point is 00:17:57 This guy's sell it voluntarily. Mm-hmm. Yeah. You know, I don't know if I've ever played Twister. We weren't a Twister household. Twister's just a horny play too much. It's a horny game. Yeah. I feel like the window to play Twister ends at like 26.
Starting point is 00:18:14 That's when you really realize like you've had like three, two or three years to work a desk job and you just completely lose all flexibility, range of motion. Then at that point, Twister just becomes a liability. Yeah. I guess I was never good. I was never good at it. I did a lot of yoga that summer before that. That's why I was actually good at it. This is the year you're training for Twister. It was great. Last night, got word of an earthquake, a large, a sizable earthquake outside of Russia.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Immediately you start seeing tsunami. Tsunamis. I believe it registered at an 8.8. It's very large. It's a big one. Biggest one in I believe 14 years. Damn. So on Twitter, I'm following it. I'm like, damn, this is bad. And they're like, if you're in the West Coast, you know, Pacific Northwest on the coastline there,
Starting point is 00:19:14 Alaska, Hawaii, tsunami advisory, tsunami watch and a tsunami advisory. And they're like, you know what? This could be really bad. And I'm like, damn you, everybody remembers the tsunami disaster from back in the day, terrible over a decade ago, right? Terrible situation. So I'm like thinking, damn, this is bad.
Starting point is 00:19:34 But I was also like, wow, they, they got to this one quick. So like everybody in Hawaii can evacuate. They have like hours to get up to higher ground. I'm pretty sure that's a part of Russia. That's not really inhabited by humans. It's like Northeast Russia, very cold and barren, I believe. So I don't think there was much of a threat out there to people.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Okay. I think, I might just be talking out of my ass. I saw some, I saw a couple of clips from Russian, the Russian coastline of like cars getting submerged and stuff. But I mean, I don't, I, it may not have been the most heavily populated, but, um, so as the night progressed, I'm like, damn, I hope, I hope everybody's getting out of harm's way. I was thinking of Hawaii. You know, I was, I was, uh, keeping track of it late last night and it was like, okay, the, uh, yeah, um, it's going to, you know, how the ocean recedes before something like that happens.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Like, okay, the ocean is just like in Hawaii should start receding right now. Then we're about an hour and a half from waves hitting. And I guess it didn't get too terrible. Uh, at last glance, not too bad. Not much damage. I don't think in Hawaii at least, but, uh, not much damage, I think, in Hawaii, at least. But Twitter went from being very helpful to very unhelpful and just kind of, I don't know if you saw this, but every time I would just type in tsunami, I was getting a lot of unsolicited
Starting point is 00:20:57 Oprah updates. Because apparently Oprah owns a substantial piece of property up there. Oh, I remember when the, uh, was Maui fires happening her and like the rock were in, uh, just people were dunking on them because they were just not helping or something like that. Well, so yeah, so she has a road in Hawaii and it's like a private road and apparently I think they ended up opening it up and letting people evacuate via her road, but early on, like it was, you couldn't, there was a gate. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Did people, this is, did people jump the gun on criticizing her? Probably. Because it's like, maybe she just, maybe she was in LA and wasn't aware it was going on, you know, maybe, maybe she was like, I didn't say no, I just, I didn't, you know, I didn't say yes. Yeah. I hadn't got the chance to open the road yet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:45 I don't, I don't know. I really don't know how this played out with her, but I, all I know is like, as a guy who was looking for some real time tsunami analysis, all I was getting was Oprah takes and I was like, Oh, I hadn't thought about Oprah in a long time. And then you got people who were like, no one should even be able to own a road. In Hawaii. Okay. You got people, were like, no one should even be able to own a road in Hawaii. Okay. You got people, you know, that kind of stuff going on.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Yeah, it quickly devolved into something else. It eventually, she opened it, or not her people opened it. Somebody opened it. I don't think she went out there herself and opened the gate. That would have been a nice side, if you're like evacuating your family and you see Oprah. Just pull in the gate, Oprah, come on in.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Give her a little honk, like, hey. She cuts the ribbons. Love your stuff. Come on. The news going to be there. Right. News probably would have been there. Yeah. The mayor's going to be there.
Starting point is 00:22:33 The fucking news. Uh, yeah. So anyway, uh, if, yeah, this quickly got hijacked by, um, by, uh, near do wells on Twitter. Yeah. She, she opened it. So I, it's like, remember when, um, was it Katrina or the, or Harvey, the Houston one Harvey Houston was Harvey. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:57 And, um, what was Joel Osteen? Joel Osteen. Ah, yeah. He wouldn't open his church to people, which is by the way, if you've seen it, it's massive. We stayed across from their armita. It's like the size of the superdome, and it's fucking huge. And he's like, nah.
Starting point is 00:23:14 And then finally he too was shamed into eventually opening it up to people for shelter. That was bad. That was particularly egregious. That one probably did deserve some criticism. That made, yeah, that was Harvey. And yeah, it was like downtown was flooded. And it's like, Hey man, a lot of people don't have anywhere to go. You have this massive empty space. How about the-
Starting point is 00:23:33 Also you're a church. Yeah. Also, yeah. You're supposed to be helping people. Also you're a church. Didn't somebody find a bunch of money in a wall in a bathroom behind a toilet? Now that's, that's righteous gemstones. Fuck. That did happen in righteous gemstones, but that And that's, that's righteous gemstones. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:23:45 That did happen in righteous gemstones, but that may be true too. I don't know. I thought that happened. No, there was a, there was money in the banana stand. They don't have to pay taxes on it. So it's like, why even hide it? You know, you don't have to clean it.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Not that much money after taxes. So that's a big deal. Right. That's something I've always said. Randy was saying that churches should be taxed. Interesting, Randy. Go ahead and give us, we'll give you a couple minutes to take the platform.
Starting point is 00:24:11 No. Okay. I don't think I said that. Yeah, unless I'm missing something, the tsunami, it's not as bad as people thought. Yeah, and plenty of notice, which is great. People time to seek higher ground. If you're on a boat in the middle of the Pacific
Starting point is 00:24:29 and that goes down, like what's your course of action? Have you ever seen Interstellar? I have. That's what happens. It's not that big. Oh, okay. If you wanna watch a movie that's like a really good movie but it's very devastating, The Impossible.
Starting point is 00:24:43 It's about a tsunami and it's, uh, you know, you know, when McGregor, uh, Naomi Watts and Tom Holland, when he was like a little kid way before he was huge, but like, it's a really good movie, but it's, it shows you how destructive a tsunami could be. But if you're on a boat, do you just kind of have to go with it? I don't, I don't know the answer. Yeah, I don't either. I think you point your boat at the incoming wave so it doesn't hit you from the side.
Starting point is 00:25:10 It's gonna be tough for me because my toes are always pointed west. Okay, you're gonna have to point in a different direction. I can't make that. The wave's coming from the east. I simply cannot. You're gonna have to point it. I simply cannot.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Another interesting, if you're on the other side of the island, like let's say, because people might be like, Oh, just go to the side that's not going to take the brunt wraps around and you still get big waves on the other side. Little, little fun fact. Yeah. It's interesting.
Starting point is 00:25:33 And golf shoe. It is interesting. Yes, it is. Yeah. Um, also interesting, uh, my Viori and I'm rocking today. Viori. Timely. Once you, uh, what, what, those are the core shorts, right?

Starting point is 00:28:23 That's just creepy. Isn't that creepy? That could just be going on under you like that.. That's why because a tsunami isn't like a giant tidal wave. It's just like a very like one foot wave that is just like very, very long has a lot of power behind it. So when it really raised that much, solider water Park says in a rational fear of tsunamis, I see a rational because he lives in Austin, Texas, central Texas. He's
Starting point is 00:28:43 terrified of tsunamis. He always has been. He would wake up the middle of the night just like crying, like worried that the tsunami was coming. Like dude, we're fine. Austin is a very safe place from natural disasters. You're good, bud. Damn. I wonder if he saw some video or something back in the day.
Starting point is 00:28:59 I think they talked about it in school one day or something and it just freaked him out. You know, maybe he'll become obsessed. I became obsessed with tornadoes very, very young age, probably his age. And I've just been obsessed ever since. Still dream about them. Yeah. You don't storm, you don't storm chase for some reason.
Starting point is 00:29:15 I don't know why. It's just not, it's not something I want to dabble in. I actually out, I outfitted my car. I got these big drills. You got those bits. I got the drills that just drill into the earth. Right. So if a tornado does hit my car, it's not going anywhere.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Simply you're just, you're there. Yeah. Like, okay, interesting. And didn't you, you used to, you famously used to bull ride. Yeah, that too. Wow. Yeah. You're just the jack of all trades, but all the coolest trades. Bull riding and storm chasing.
Starting point is 00:29:44 By the way, update on bull riding and storm chasing, by the way, update on bull riding, bull fighting really my, my algo, uh, due to the video. So there's a video we posted on the Monday post on wash. And that is one that made its way around my, my high school friend group chat. It's the guy getting absolutely blindside trucked by the bull. Yeah. He lived. I don't, I know he's in the hospital, but so now I'm getting a ton of rodeo and bullfighting mishaps served to me. And let me tell you, some of the shit people are willing to do in the, like go out there and like,
Starting point is 00:30:29 there's one, there's one that I saw and it's like, it's ladies on seesaws. They did in a jackass. I think that's a typical thing. Yeah, I think that's like that. That one's fairly common. I think this is in Mexico and they're on, they're just on these seesaws. Well, there's a bull running around and it's just basically like, all right, well, whoever survives this, you're the winner and I don't know what you win. Maybe you win like a $15 to, uh, I don't know, Cole's cash or maybe some,
Starting point is 00:30:49 some cash down to Logan's roadhouse cafe. I don't know. But, um, there's some gruesome stuff getting served by way. Not good. Not good bull riding. Not, not to be trifle with or a bull fighting really, but that guy getting trucked, he's taunting the other bull. And you know what, he got humbled real quick.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Heads gotta stay on a swivel when you're in there with the bulls. Luckily it wasn't a full grown male. More than one bull. Oh, as that guy's done, he's wiped out. I wanna talk about my afternoon yesterday. Do the people at home know? Did y'all send any tweets?
Starting point is 00:31:23 I was gone so long that I don't even know what I missed. I don't think I don't think we told the people yet what was going on. Guess what? It's not that exciting. But it is it is interesting. So I told everybody about my my vehicle. My issue. You met you mentioned the vehicle and you talked about your email that you had sent I think believe yesterday's episode. Well, fun fact, I had to bring my car to the dealership for something completely unrelated. This had nothing to do with the skid plate. I have sent two emails now, copy and pasted one, found another contact. Two emails.
Starting point is 00:31:55 I am over two on responses thus far. So I had to drive to my dealership, which is in Georgetown, which from here is a 30 minute drive north. Without traffic. Without traffic. It's just not ideal. But I've had a airbag error light on in my car for about the last week and a half, two weeks. And that's not something that you want to play with. So I'm like, okay, well, I got in there. They're like, bring it up. We're going to have to run a diagnostic.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Also, there's a recall about airbags for your particular vehicle. So we'll check and see if it's related. All right, so I bring it up there yesterday after the show. Got up there early 12, 30, and they're like, all right, well, we don't have any loaners. So we'll have this thing done and back to you in about three hours.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Well, I'm not gonna take an Uber. Oh, and by the way, their shuttle service, it only goes 17 miles. Like, okay, I'll just hang out. I brought my backpack, I brought everything. Dropped my car off. I said, hey, about that shuttle service, well, they dropped me off at the Mexican restaurant
Starting point is 00:33:00 down the way. There's a Lupe Tortilla about, I don't know, it's about a 20 minute walk, but it's also like a four minute car ride. Yesterday was very hot and I had a backpack and I didn't want to walk. And also you didn't walk to Twin Peaks at one time. So this is this is for you.
Starting point is 00:33:14 This is a this is more service road walking and I didn't want to do that. So they dropped me off there at Lupe tortilla and I went posted up at the bar. Micah's old stomping grounds. Micah famously a waiter there. Yep. For like what a week? What happened?
Starting point is 00:33:28 He worked at Lupe tortilla. That's all I know. Okay. I forgot all about that. So I posted up at the bar. You might be thinking, oh, Dave, you got into one, huh? How many beers do you think the D-Man had? Three.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Zero. What? I had zero beers. How many diet cokes do you think the D-Man had? Zero. Two. How many diet cokes you think the D man had? Zero two. Oh, how many margaritas? Zero. I had two diet cokes and a water.
Starting point is 00:33:50 No alcohols. This Tuesday afternoon, I was already kind of bummed. Like me drinking a couple beers, wasn't going to make the situation. Like it was always going to end with me having to go back to the dealership and wait a little bit longer and then drive back to South Austin, which in the middle at like five o'clock, which is not ideal. And I was like, I don't want to do that on the wrong side of two beers. Probably have to pee and I'll probably just be tired and drowsy. And that's not good.
Starting point is 00:34:20 So I ate there. Very different vibes at this Lupe tortilla in Georgetown compared to the Lupe tortilla in West Lake, the one in West Lake is just kind of Boston. It's, it's a good vibe there. Everybody's having a good time. Not that this one was depressing, but it's just not the same vibes. The Georgetown service road Lupe doesn't have the, um, fun clientele as the West Lake one. I'll just say that.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Service was good. Chips and salsa. What do you think? Do you think I did some damage on the chips and salsa? I think you filled up on them. I fucking filled up on chips and salsa. You know, about four chips equals one whole tortilla. How many tortillas did you eat before your meal came? See, I think you might be operating on the mats.
Starting point is 00:35:02 No, mats is half. Yeah, that's only two. Well, these four chips from Lupe was not necessarily a tortilla. I was doing the, so the chip for me is just a vehicle to get the salsa into my gullet. So I was doing the thing where I was breaking them into smaller pieces and just putting a just hilarious amount of salsa on this. Oh, hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:23 You know, I'm talking about so an eighth of a tortilla. They also give you the. Oh, hell yeah. You know, I'm talking about. So an Atha for tortilla. They also give you the little beans, the like borracho bean dip too, which is phenomenal. And I filled up. I still got a lunch wrap and enjoyed it. It was very good. Finished it. They had ESPN on.
Starting point is 00:35:37 Forgot my headphones sitting in my car, so I didn't have headies. I was looking at Twitter, just kind of chatting with the boys, chatting with Randy on Slack a little bit. It was time to go. I was like, I've been here an hour. I'm going to go back. Not about walking, but again, 20 minute walk, heat, backpack, service road, not going to do it. So I called to let them know. And I was like, Hey, can you get the shuttle service to come grab me? I'm all done. They're like, all right, we'll be there know and I was like, hey, can you get the shuttle service to come grab me? I'm all done. They're like, all right, we'll be there. So I'm like, all right, cool.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Four minute drive, so I go wait outside, hanging out there. Next thing you know, I'd been hanging out there for like 25 minutes. What's going on? So I call and they're like, oh, our driver's just getting back, he'll be there. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:22 So I go wait inside. So instead of going, I didn't want to go back to the bar because I'd already closed my tab and everything. Just went and sat down in like the lobby, the waiting area with my little backpack looking at my phone. It ended up being like another 35 minutes. So I waited there. I just hung out for another hour. So two hours of Lupe tortilla,
Starting point is 00:36:40 the second half being me just waiting and they kept walking by like, are you good? Do you want anything? I'm like, dude, I'm waiting on the shuttle service. And everybody walked by, I was like, oh yeah, your car's getting serviced. I'm like, yeah, they're like, God's the worst, isn't it? I'm like, yeah. So this is typical for them. Maybe. Having people in their place. I wasn't mad that like, I'm not complaining about their VIP shuttle service, but communication was not great. And I should have just walked it basically. Anyway, so two hours at Lupe, zero beers, bunch of chips and
Starting point is 00:37:10 salsa, two diet cokes, get back to the dealership, waiting a little longer, waited another hour, look at my phone. There's kids in there waiting, had their tablets on, no headphones, just listening to stuff out loud. Cool. Guy comes out, he's like, all right, we're all done. Here's the deal. You're gonna notice your airbag light, it's still on.
Starting point is 00:37:32 It's unrelated to the recall. We got you fixed up on the recall. We had to remove your chair, fix the sensor, it's back on. You're gonna have to bring the car back out in a couple of weeks. We're gonna have to fix the passenger side airbag. I'm like, okay. He's like, also you have a small oil leak. I said quick. Okay. Unrelated. He's like, yeah, unrelated. I was like, this car is not that old. It's a 2023. I bought this last year from y'all.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Is it because you didn't have a skid plate? No, no, no. Unrelated. To that too? Yeah. So, but good news, all under warranty. I'm not paying anything except for the hours of driving out there and back and the, I'm basically forced, unless I want to do I-35 the whole way, I'm paying tolls. So yeah, so I'm going back out there and I will be getting a loaner vehicle. So yeah, I kind of got poured out yesterday afternoon. So if things were quiet on my end from everybody,
Starting point is 00:38:28 that's why. Damn it. Deeman is not steaming. That's quite a journey. I could be steaming, but I'm not. But I'm almost steaming. Good for you. You took it in stride, man.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Well, he didn't, he didn't walk at all. He could have taken it in stride. When are you getting the skiddy fixed? That I don't know. I have not heard back from the, the place that shall not be named until it becomes clear that they are not going to cooperate. I asked the guys at the dealership, I go,
Starting point is 00:38:55 skid plate fell off like the day after I got an oil change, probably related, right? Like, oh yeah. They're like, definitely. Oh, 100%. They were like, yeah. They didn't tighten it. They're like, unless you were off-roading or something. I'm like, I wasn't off-roading. No, I wasn't. That's a fun vehicle. Yeah. I didn't take the fam out mudding.
Starting point is 00:39:12 We didn't go out to the field that my friends and I used to destroy 30 racks. And no, we didn't do that. Mudding is such a stupid, but awesome hobby. There were dudes who would go mudding and like their entire goal was to like eventually get stuck so they could like show you goal was to like eventually get stuck. So they could like show you that they had like a, a winch or whatever. I went mudding exactly one time with my buddy. He had this old Chevy Blazers jacket.
Starting point is 00:39:32 It was pretty cool truck. That's made from mud. Jacked up with like, you know, 30, probably 33 inch tires or whatever. And he slid off this muddy embankment into this, for some reason there's like a metal cage or something at the bottom of this little hill and he slid right into it and it just scraped along the side of his car and completely just caved in the side of his car. It felt so bad for him. But like he went mudding.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Yeah. You know? Yeah. Was that worth it, bud? Probably not. I don't think you've ever noticed, I don't know if you have, my skid plate's held on by zip ties in my car if it has been for like the past year. I feel like the entire point of mudding. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:40:09 I'm just glossing over what Rainey just said. That's interesting. But the entire point of mudding is just to get the mud on your car and then drive around so people know that you went mudding. Like the actual mudding part is like, it's kind of fun to guess, but like, oh shit, this guy went and found some mud. I got a cringe memory from that. I've never done mudding.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Is it just pretty much you go mud? But like you slide around and stuff, right? Yeah, you just do donuts and just kick up mud and just get covered in it. I'm assuming- You turn on Jason Aldean real loud. People definitely did it in Indiana, of course, but like I was in the suburbs of Chicago, if you know,
Starting point is 00:40:50 but there's something that you guys never really got to do was doing donuts in a parking lot when it snowed, when it was fresh snow. Oh, that was so much fun. Yeah, I never did that. We had mudding. We didn't have, we'd have donut. Snow donuts.
Starting point is 00:41:02 Snow donuts. Oh God, that was fun. My buddy, Will, this is so embarrassing. He had a, he had the Jeep Wrangler with a little bit lifted like suspension lift and like big tires and we went mudding and in the taco, the infamous Cedar Ridge, Duncanville,edar Ridge Taco Bell parking lot, there was a like car wash raising money for something. And the whole purpose of us going mudding
Starting point is 00:41:30 was so he could drive through and see if they would wash his car. And there were like one of the dads like, get out of here. We're not doing this, bud. And we're like, yeah. And like thinking back, I'm like, yeah, that was real dick move. You have to take it to one of those self-serve car washes with like the, you know, the, at
Starting point is 00:41:46 the power wash. Yeah. That's the way to do it. We did. And it just fucks up their draining system there. You get all that mud. Just, yeah, it's just, it's stupid. We probably set them back.
Starting point is 00:41:55 I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. He's the same guy who got his tires rotated and they didn't put on his front right wheel, much like what happened to your family. family. And he's just driving back home and his fucking giant ass tire just rolls down the street, just rolling down center street. It's not what you're looking for.
Starting point is 00:42:13 No. What's going on? Let's go mudding, dude. I'll go mudding. Hey, shout out to Jose. Some of the chat asked for a shout out, so there you go. We're doing shout outs? Okay, Jose. No way, Jose. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:42:27 There was someone asking on behalf of Jose. So, you know, which is what's the story? Is he saying he's working? I don't know. He's no he's working in the stinky concrete jungle of New York City. Is he even going to the guys? I don't know. I'm giving us a better shout out. Shout out. Shout out Jose. If I see it, maybe I'll give you a shout out. I don't know. Now we've got to give everybody a shout out. All right. If you it a shout out. Shout out Jose. If I see it, maybe I'll give you a shout out. I don't know. Now we've got to give everybody a shout out.
Starting point is 00:42:47 All right, if you want a shout out, please comment below, but not in the chat, comment below and maybe we'll give you a shout out. Well, maybe we'll do like one or two shout outs an episode if they don't take up too much time. Oh. For a nominal fee. You know what? I guess we're, we're, what? We got two days left and then we're in August,
Starting point is 00:43:03 but then we got small business September coming up too. Pretty excited for that. Speaking of shout outs. Yeah. No drug dealers this year. Yeah, that didn't go well. Didn't go well. I had some, just like some gourmet chocolate when I was in Leavenworth.
Starting point is 00:43:19 I was like, man, this is good, but it's no Woodhouse chocolate, man. That's the Napa one, right? Yeah, that one was so good. We have man. That's the Napa one, right? Yeah, that one was so chocolate. We have a young lady who worked there or something, right? She's a Willamame. I'm pretty sure she's been to Camp Willamame's. You got an update, Dave?

Starting point is 00:47:41 I don't know, maybe just making fun of anybody in the gym. He's a very gym positive guy. Does he does good? Yes. Well, he's under fire right now, Dave. Like you said, they took Joey Swole from us. He kind of took himself. So the passing of the Hulkster, Hulk Hogan, Joey Swole was a big fan of the Hulk.
Starting point is 00:48:04 Very much so. And so when he passed away, Joey swole decided to put on his full Hulk Hogan get up. Of course you have to have one of those at the ready. Yeah. I think, I think Hulk Hogan gave it to him. Like, what, I think he knew that he was a big fan of the head. They got, they connected or something, something like that. He's a big time influencer.
Starting point is 00:48:22 It kind of makes sense. Kind of checks out. Actually, you told me he's not that big. He's a big time influencer. It kind of makes sense kind of checks out actually You told me he's not that big He's not that tall. He's very big this way. I didn't realize he was a short king. He's a short king I didn't know that either until I guess he thought the first pitch at a Dodgers game recently Okay, and I was like, oh, he's not as big as I thought he'd be so he's kind of like Randy sized They're what I am taller than the internet tells me he's five, six.
Starting point is 00:48:45 I don't know how accurate that is. Okay. That's a little bit shorter than Randy five, six. Anyway, when he posted his video in a gem wearing the whole Kogan outfit, people just destroyed them, took them apart piece by piece because of whole Kogan's, uh, checkered pass, I'll say a lot of racist remarks. Joey swole a couple of days after, after about a couple of days of criticism, he got, he was on a live stream and said, look, I can post Hulk Hogan.
Starting point is 00:49:12 If I want to, the dude made a mistake 20 years ago, apologize for it. And he says, everyone watching this has made a mistake. I know I have blah, blah, blah. Can I say something about that? Yeah. When, so the, not gonna, not gonna go through the transcript on the
Starting point is 00:49:28 Hulksters remarks, that's not a mistake. That is like a deep seated, like that is who you are. You know what I'm saying? Like. You know how Joey Swole does the stitch incoming and then he'll comment on a gym video. Yes. I saw a guy said he posted Joey's will comments
Starting point is 00:49:45 and it said, stitch incoming. And he goes, he was looking at the camera. He goes, that's not a mistake. That's a decision you made. It's not a mistake. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:52 And it was about who his daughter was going to date or dating. Apparently he cut, he cut off his daughter because she was dating a black guy. Yeah. And he used the words you don't use. Hard in. And like, okay. But yeah. So yeah, people't use and like, okay. But yeah, so yeah, people were mad and like, it's awkward. Look, hey man, I grew up on the Hoekster too.
Starting point is 00:50:10 When he basically refused to apologize, he got even more hatred thrown his way and finally, it's a double down. I don't condone. Finally, he posted another video saying like, look, you guys, I see the criticism. I understand it. I went back and I researched some of the whole Cogan's comments and they're terrible. And he apologized basically. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:31 He apologized. And, and then it didn't really end there because people were like, uh, that didn't, you know, Oh, he also, he also used the word colored in his, in his live stream. He said colored people are, are posting these tributes to Hulk Hogan. Why don't you say something to the Joey Swole. He said colored and people like, dude, you can't say color.
Starting point is 00:50:52 Do you say people of color? And so that was another thing that people were latching on to and just tearing him apart. Well, he, so he apologized with a later video saying I've learned from this and this is all learning experience, blah, blah, blah. And he's still in his feels about it he put he's tweeting through it he said he's done yeah he said he's done he's like yeah I'm out like you know I've tried to do good I try to do good in this world and it all came you know all the good I've done all the people I've helped all for
Starting point is 00:51:24 nothing when I need help when I need kindness and compassion just all came, you know, all the good I've done. All the people I've helped all for nothing. When I need help, when I need kindness and compassion, nothing all caps. Oh, you can't ask them enough for kindness and compassion. That's true. You either die a hero or live long enough to be the villain. He said people are telling him to unalive himself. What did unalive become?
Starting point is 00:51:41 It's to not. TikTok and shit. If you say kill. Is it a PC way of saying it? It's more of like, I think on TikTok is where it's mainly is like you don't say gun, you say pew pew. You don't say kill, you say Unalive. Because they might not, the algorithm might not like it or it might not be, you know, friendly to sponsors and stuff, but it's just becoming. It did stick out when I saw that part. People were telling him to unalive himself, which he pointed out on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:52:08 He's apparently got death threats and stuff. Yeah, I'm sure he did. People are reaching out to his like, people are nasty. On the internet, we know that. Oof. So I didn't know. I don't know the little tidbit you just filled us in with.
Starting point is 00:52:20 Yeah, he said, he said color, but he said it in a way like he thought it was okay to say. He didn't say it And I can't imagine being how old Joey swole. He's our age. Maybe Probably younger. How does somebody who's that on like? I don't know. How is that even in there? I don't know like what fucking decade I don't know. It was it was kind of weird, but I He okay He does seem like a good guy like I'll
Starting point is 00:52:44 I'll throw that out. He seems like a good dude. I also doubt that he's done making content. He's not out to get this, especially like this is, this is his career. Like pretty sure this is how he makes it a living. Who's Joey's swole. That's my, uh, I got no word. That's my Joe Rogan. Like I don't really know what to say, but I want to show you that I'm acknowledging the gravity of what you're saying. Ready? See, the thing is, his name is Joey and he's quite slow. That's, that's where the name comes from. That's really disappointing. I like this content, not enough to follow,
Starting point is 00:53:17 but I did enjoy when he would roast somebody for being a D bag in the gym. He's cartoonishly jacked. It's too much. He's too jacked. I don't want to be that jacked. I know he's got an image and it's like his whole persona, but he's too jacked. I'm trying to be approachably swole this summer. I've said that before. What's his take on steroids, I wonder.
Starting point is 00:53:37 I don't know. Ask him. Give him some content to do. He's clearly on gear, right? You don't get that jacked without gear. Dude, he's so jacked. He's clearly on gear, right? You don't get that jacked without gear. Uh, I think so jacked. He's so jacked. Uh, probably, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:53:52 It's a great question. He's on gear. If that's his whole, his whole world is bodybuilding though. And like lifting that way and probably eats perfect. Um, but yeah, you're probably right. Cause he's, he's exceptionally wide and big and bulky. Hey, Randy yesterday, it doesn't look like he has a lot of range of motion. Like he would be a terrible twister player. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Oh my God. I forget about beat him. He has his own hot sauce being five, six and that wide great note. Randy's got a bench press just like a million pounds. Right. Randy notes that he has his own hot sauce. Okay. Good for Joey school.
Starting point is 00:54:24 Hey, yesterday I was rewatching it. I'll be buying it by the way. I was rewatching the YouTube of the live. I could hear myself breathing a lot in the mic. Is it too close? Has it been too close to my mouth? No, I think it's good. Are you a mouth breather?
Starting point is 00:54:39 When I speak, I take like that. I could hear. You need to work on your cardio. I'm not a mouth breather. I'm not a cardio. I'm not a mouth breather. Yeah. People have been saying that like you kind of have this grown thing. You do talk.
Starting point is 00:54:53 I think I want to move it about four inches away. I don't think you should do that. Cause that would be the levels would be off. Now people are going to run with that. So I sound like I was struggling. Fatty McGee. It's like an Adam Sandler bit from like 1994 on one of his CDs. Fatty McGee, you're the fattest. It's about, it's an audio bit.
Starting point is 00:55:19 It's 10 people know what we're talking about. I can't believe you know about that. Don't take the stairs, Fatty McGee. Did you ever hear Piece of Shit Car? Oh yeah. It's on that album, I believe. What the hell happened to me might be the name of the album. God, it is truly Sandler Week. That is such a deep pool. Or The Goat. Remember The Goat? Oh, of course. Dude, Talking Goat. There is a time where that was the funniest thing I'd ever heard.
Starting point is 00:55:43 I'm a goat. I got no thumbs or something like that. A regular fucking star back over there. Yeah, we laughed at that quite a bit. That's one time my dad, I wouldn't get out of bed. My dad on his big stereo turned on a piece of shit car and turned it up really loud. And I got out of bed. I was like, all right, fine. I'll get out of bed. I happened one time. What a memory. What a pull. Oh, wow. All right. Anything else tomorrow? We get a fun preview.
Starting point is 00:56:12 How about that? And you are not going to believe what I've got going on this next week. I'll leave it at that. And if you know, if you've got a beat on a laptop pad that will protect my a beat, someone's protect my a beat. Well, someone's got like a, they got people out there. We just use it.
Starting point is 00:56:29 Or you just want to buy me one. I put it across it off my podcast list. My Amazon podcaster supply list. We can get you like a little, little table that slides in and out. I want like a little TV dinner tray. Yeah. If you, if we can, I guess we can buy one for you
Starting point is 00:56:41 if you really need it. Okay. TV dinner tray. Protect your will wigs. Have you seen those coffee tables where the thing comes up out of the table? They're popular now. We had one of those growing up and now they're like all over the place. But yeah. You're a ground floor.
Starting point is 00:56:58 You're a ground floor. No, I like the one that has the cooler built in. Do you get from like, what's the store, Sharper Image? Like the cool stores at the mall that you go in and never buy anything, but you try all the stuff out and they're like, all right, just get the fuck out. Still waiting on my coffee table. But I contribute to a Kickstarter back in November,
Starting point is 00:57:19 maybe September and yeah, it's still in process. The trade wars and the tariffs are delaying a lot of stuff. There you have it from him. There you go. Micro economic randy or whatever. All right, we'll see you tomorrow. Bye. Bye. Bye. Thanks for watching guys!
