All right, we're back. Circling Back podcast presented by Busy Heart Seltzer, the only hard seltzer with vitamin c and super fruit acerola my name's will to freeze to my left david ruff a couple notes from uh dave that's me um if you're watching at home on uh the youtube channel uh this is not my normal laptop i forgot my charger so uh i'm using kj's lappy so any of the the statements made on the lappy are not necessarily reflective of what I might think. What kind of stickers have we got going on here? One of them is poncho outdoors. I feel like you know about that.

Wow, do you not support poncho outdoors? I'm literally wearing a poncho hat. You see they got Colt McCoy. That's big for them. Yeah. Colt. Not from Texas, but his daddy moved him here as soon as he could. Sprinkled a little Texas dirt under his crib.

Where's he from? New Mexico. Oh. Born in New Where's he from? New Mexico. Oh, born in New Mexico. Shots in New Mexico. Second note, and then we can get to Dylan. If anybody out there, this is a very specific outreach I'm doing here. Has any experience de-weeding their yard without killing the grass, specifically the dollis grass, that tall weed that kind of grows up overnight

and has a little fuzzy thing at the end. I've been pulling them out by hand, but there's like hundreds of them and it's just a real pain in the ass, you know what I'm saying? I get it. I get it, Dave. Why are you doing that? If anybody has any hints. That's so disrespectful. Why? I'm sitting next to what? I can't touch him?

That's such like a, hey little guy. He's a big guy. Hey big guy guy all right but we know what that means i need help with it that's all i'm saying so uh hit me up very cool very cool of you wow this silence is a good time to introduce me this this big, long, silent part. Like, hey, Dylan's here, too, or something along those lines. Or like, Dylan Chivary. Should we introduce Dylan? Some of these weeds I'm looking at are native to Central Texas.

Are we still doing weeds, or should we get to me? No, we're still doing weeds, man. Well, you're looking at pictures of weeds now. This is not good radio. No, this is a segment where Dave and Will look at pictures of weeds together. Look at the dove weed. Dude, shouts the dove weed. The only weed I know about I burn. You know what I'm saying?

They'd always say smoke them if you got them. Everyone knows that you only burn schwag. I do. Sometimes I'll splurge and get some mid, but that's it. Wow. You splurge and get some mid. Splurge feels like it should be a dirty word. The mid splurger himself.

Dylan Chivary's in the building today. Splurge is not a dirty word, but it feels like it should be. It word. The mid-splurger himself. Dylan Chivry's in the building today. Splurge is not a dirty word, but it feels like it should be. It's very close to one. Right. Which one are you thinking it's close to, though? Anyway, I'm rocking the Rocket City Trash Pandas, the AA affiliate of the Angels Ball Club. Shouts to the Rocket City Trash Pandas, who sent us some swag.

Dude, the thing about the Angels is that they're in the outfield. They sent us swag, not schwag, to be clear. Got any swag? A lot of people are confused about that. I wouldn't hate if we had minor league teams sending us weed in the mail. What, schwag, though? Yeah, that'd be tight. Yeah.

No, just to be clear, the Trash Pandas only sent us hats and some stickers. They didn't send us any illegal drugs. No marijuana, unfortunately. But we support them. We rock with them because they rock with us. I wish they'd send us whatever Nathan Bates is smoking because that guy's having a year. Really? How's he doing? Is he raking this year?

He's a pitcher. Oh, shout. So he's anti-rake. What's the ERA looking like, Doug? That's kind of an outdated stat. Earned run average? I don't think it is. It doesn't really matter. He's just over four but this is an offensive stat. Earned run average? I don't think it is. No, it doesn't really matter. He's just over four, but this is an offensive league. Really? Yeah.

A lot of people think the bats might be a little juiced. What's his whip looking like? 1.26, actually, if I'm not mistaken. That's not bad, right? It looks like this. 1.26 whip is pretty good. Yeah, he had some good years at Georgia State, if I remember correctly. That's an all-time bad whip from Dylan right now.

If you're watching on YouTube.com slash Watch Media, you just saw Dylan hit the most mid-whip I've ever seen. Looks like I'm turning a key. Yeah, you look like a lock is jammed on your front door and you're trying to really get that thing open. You've got to pee real bad after a long trip. Just wait until you see my nay-nay, though. Don't do that.

I have no faith. No, no, no. I said nay-nay, Dave. No. Dave, let's see your nay-nay. I'm all right. Is Victor Acosta having a season? He's putting him up.

Yeah, man. He's slugging. It leaves a little bit to be desired, but he's getting that average back up around 275. He's 0.275. Again, an outdated stat. I normally just go with the next-gen analytics. He's getting that average back up around 275,.275. Again, an outdated stat. I normally just go with the next-gen analytics. They said if we were to do a Nashville meetup, they might come through.

I don't know if that means whoever sent us the package, like the whole team. No, I think the whole team. Yeah. I think we get the whole – how many people are on a baseball roster? 40. Shots to 40s out there. 40?

Isn't that the 40 man? I thought they did like 53 man. 25, I think. Let's look it up Find out who's right What's 53? Is that like NFL or some shit? NFL yeah I don't watch football anymore

53 guys suit up for NFL games Yes Can we get some official Biz out of the way? 26 This is a good official business That's ML Segment if you guys want to do this

You guys ready for this? Is it more for double A? It is Really? It's got a whole That's the expanded roster I don't think they're all Suiting up For game day They're suited and booted double A? It is. Really? That's the expanded roster. I don't think they're all suiting up for game day.

They're suited and booted. Dude, but everybody suits up. Even the manager. That's so stupid. It's fucking never make any sense. No, but at the same time, if the manager's wearing a suit, it also looks stupid. What's the middle ground? Just throw on a polo

and some slacks. That's the Dylan chivalry. That's what he wears. It also looks stupid. Like, what's the middle ground? Just throw on a polo and some slacks. That's the Dylan Chivary. That's what he wears. I just don't know if that would look. Like, at this point, we've all been groomed to see them in uniforms. And I agree, it's weird, but I don't have a better alternative that's not going to be jarring for at least a season. Joggers.

Seeing like a 68-year-old just back of bones out there wearing baseball pants. It's like, what are you doing? I know, but you can't have him wear joggers because you have like a 65-year-old just back of bones out there wearing baseball pants. It's like, what are you doing? I know, but you can't have him wear joggers because you have a 65-year-old man wearing joggers. How about just a track suit? I'm bringing back of bones back. Is he a runner or a track star?

No, he's a manager of the team. No, just go pull those slacks. Do the football coach look. You want some bird dog slacks on there? They're the most comfortable pants in the game, but I just don't know if those are made for baseball managers. Some tinnies, some slacks, and a polo. Trash paint, a polo, that's got to go hard.

It's league mandated that you have to wear the uniform? Fairly certain, sure. Because I guess no one's ever stepped out of that. Are they actually part of the roster? Can they, like, pinch hit? No. What, you want Jim Leland to go pinch hit for, like, Prince Fielder and whatever that year was?

They have a number on their back. Wow, that is a dated reference. Yeah, I don't watch anymore. He's a great ranger, though. I don't watch anymore. Hey, we got some official business. Tomorrow, Worst Of, Patreon, patreon.com slash tricklingbackpodcast. You can also go to itspodcastweek.com.

We've had two Wor worst of episodes thus far. Both have been hitting. Oh, they're hitting. All right. And I, just from the stories that I've already gone through, we have,

we've got a bunch of emails that I haven't even read yet, but just based on the stories that I already have set aside, we're in good shape right now. If you have your own, submit it to a worst of it, watch me.com or go to a wash me.com and fill out this, the form on there. Either way,

it's fine. Um, got a note from Brett. Brett texted us. Did you see this? No. I'm not going to name the sponsor, but one of the sponsors really liked one of our reads because someone said,

I get drippy on my pelly, and I'm assuming that was you. Yeah, the company did clarify, which they think translates to getting sweaty on a Peloton, and I can confirm that getting drippy on the Peli does mean getting sweaty on a Peloton. It doesn't necessarily. But, I mean. Can we not name the sponsor?

Yeah, it's 10,000. Sorry, I don't know why. 10,000? You hop on the Peli. They can swipe up. Speaking of, rocking them right now. Dang, look at you. Because they're rocking with me.

Look at you. Yeah. You know how I do. Must be nice, dude. You're laughing at Randy. You're not drippy, though. Just keep producing. Why are you guys taking away from Worst Of right now?

Like, we're trying to get the people to hear where stuff. I wanted to show them my booty meat. This is Dave's bullet points. It's a new segment. Check out YouTube's for the booty meat shot. We're also doing Friday voicemails on Thursdays. I will say that I saw some booty chatter. Speaking of booty meat, I saw some booty chatter that Thursday's episode from last week was one of our best voicemails ever.

I concur. It was pretty good. best voicemails ever. I concur. It was pretty good. Whoever said that is a very smart person. I always get a little hesitant to call things like, oh, it's one of the best episodes we've ever done because I feel like people just do that when they don't have anything else to say about an episode. Hyperbole.

But I will say that Thursday's was an objectively good listener voicemail episode. It's like sometimes you just catch one on the sweet spot and you know that it's going to go. Sometimes I like seeing like podcasters and i'm definitely guilty of this when they just say like this was a fun one like that's the most mail-in state that's like that's like starting your column with we've all been there yeah this was a fun one that's that's code for like it was all right that could be fine and it'll be fine but you're not gonna it's not gonna blow your socks off yeah i'm guilty of that with Too Much Dip. Potentially my least favorite thing is having to do the tweet for the Too Much Dip pod

because I have to think of some way to promote it that's not corny, and everything in my head is corny. So I'm just like, I sit there for 20 minutes at a time. It's not fun. I mean, dude, that's why we're different, though. We know how to promote things in ways that other people don't. Yeah, we're different, dude. Yeah.

We also, we love when we're different, though. We know how to promote things in ways that other people don't. Yeah, we're different, Dave. Yeah. We also love when we get some new reviews. I love it, at least. Tell me we have some that you're going to read. We do. You ready for these? If you go leave a review, there's a good chance that we'll read it at this point. Someone named T-Lin Holmes on Wednesday said, Areola and Edging, five stars.

I rock with them because they rock with us. Jake Makes on Wednesday also said, Too many of Breevesies. Imagine a podcast where they speak every word in its entirety. No one is doing that. He's going to hate my segment later. If you're looking for hot takes and pop culture about three weeks too late, this is the pod for you.

Thank you. We're pretty early on the milk crate challenge. Yep. More on that later. We also have this podcast is thick from FSU soccer 1740. Two washed up 30-somethings and a 49-year-old gas each other up incessantly during their extremely boring

lives, but somehow make it hilarious. They're not that boring. I think our lives are pretty fun. Yeah, they're kind of mid. We're talking to a mic for a living. It's not that boring. No one over the age of 37 on this podcast, so that's interesting too. We have TJ Loris, 14. He said, they earn my business

every single episode. Three mid to late 30s guys and sometimes a late 20s guy dominate the small to mid-sized podcast scene with hyper niche references, long-standing bits, and current event animal updates

from fighting animals on drugs to fictional restaurant characters to unsolicited Harry Potter takes. I don't think they're unsolicited, Dave. These guys really do it all. I highly recommend anyone who's looking to spend three hours a week laughing.

To put it in simple terms, I rock with them because they rock with me. That's how it goes. And then I also have from Saturday. I don't know what this person is doing on Saturday

leaving reviews. Everyone knows it's for the boys. But it's from BeastCR. It said, slight dilemma. Because of this podcast, my girlfriend and I can only have sex

to Cole Campbell songs. Ooh, that's okay. I'll join the club. That's tough. Did you leave that review? Mm-hmm. I did. I get it.

I get it. That's all we got for reviews. Good stuff, man. There's some good ones out there, though. So go leave a review and five-star rating. Tell a friend about the podcast. And like Dave said earlier, if you're on YouTube.com slash Watch Media, you can see Dave's new laptop. You can also watch every episode that we're on youtube.com slash washmedia you can see Dave's new laptop. You can also watch every episode that we

do on there. I will say the new studio looks wonderful in the new setup. It looks okay. Also, big shout out to Camp Willmommies. We had a couple of them pop in here before they went out to the camp. Yes. And they said hi. We gave them some liquid IV to make sure that they didn't die. Three lovely young ladies

stopped by. One of them brought the Stella painting. Yes. And the gift of fudge. I don't know if she wants us to say her name, so I won't. But very, very kind of them. Shouts to C-Dawg. Yes.

And they brought us treats as well. Shout out Woodhouse. A nice little note, which is right here. Major shout out to Woodhouse and Napa. Can we just run them back in small business, Sep? Yeah. If it means that we can get more free chocolate i will 100 do that oh yeah we do have small business september coming up as well this is our last august episode for

I want to let the girls run, so I'm going to buy – I'm going to rent a giant house in Wimberley, Texas for 31 women. Guess what? The girls ran.

Yeah, they ran. I don't know if you followed along on the social medias over the weekend, but they put on an absolute show. Who was the guy on the jet ski? Randy. That dude. Randy thinks he threw us off his scent by posting a story from a wedding, quote-unquote, in Indianapolis, quote-unquote.

He was definitely playing the Wells card out of Camp Willmommies all weekend. Shouts to Bachelor in Paradise. Can't wait to watch tonight. Ah, damn it. Yeah, you know what? You know what? I'm actually not really dreading it. Should we start doing recaps of that?

That might be good. Dylan, you're going to have to binge it actually not really dreading it. Should we start doing recaps of that? That might be good. Dylan, you're going to have to binge it since you haven't watched it. You know, it's the best way to watch a show is to binge it. Really? Well, once you start binging, you can't stop. Is that how that goes? Yeah. Interesting.

Dude. Hey, did you guys hear that? It's time for This Weekend in Fun, baby, presented by Vizzy Hard Seltzer. The option with something extra always makes your choice a little easier. And when you're scrolling the aisles and you see all these similar hard seltzers, you're like, man, I wish there was something different in like a beautiful orange packaging with like a dope logo and maybe some acerola in it too. Well, guess what?

Well, it is a super fruit. It's super fruity. Yeah, super fruity it's a soup yeah super fruity busy brings something different unique and delicious to the table grab yourself a drink that can do everything with busy hard seltzer it's the first hard seltzer craft with antioxidant vitamin c extracted from acerola which everyone knows is a cherry it's a super fruit with 30 times more vitamin c per cup than an orange it's incredible i don't even know what an acerola cherry looks like at this point,

but I don't even care because I'm drinking them constantly. I don't know either. Not to go too deep into my weekend and fun, but I can confirm that on Saturday, I was kind of like, I had some extra time to burn. And at about 3.30 in the afternoon, I thought, you know what? I'm going to go to the pool. Went in my refrigerator.

I got one Vizzy out. I brought it to the pool with me. Did you? I drank it. Just one. Just one. I actually offered Vizzy out. I brought it to the pool with me. Did you? I drank it. Just one. Just one. I actually offered Vizzy to our babysitter Friday night. I've done that.

I was like, anything in the fridge? We got Vizzy? I don't think she took me up on the offer. But at least I made the offer. That's because she's never had one. Because she knew how good they were. No, she didn't do it because she's a responsible babysitter who doesn't think that drinking alcohol on the job is the move.

That's my question. How many drinks can you have as a babysitter? Correct. Two? Seven. I would have been fine if she had one. I would have been fine. What if you came home and the babysitter was like, never mind.

What, like doing keg stands in the living room? No, she's allowed to have one Vizzy. Yeah, give her a Vizzy. Give her a Vizzy. There are plenty of hard seltzers to choose from, but with eight bold and delicious dual fruit flavors and antioxidant vitamin C, Vizzy makes the choice a little easier and a lot tastier. I had one of the, uh, uh, why am I blanking on what I had? Peach watermelon.

No, it wasn't a watermelon. It was one of the orig. Man. I don't know. I love them all. Was it a blue pommy? Black cherry? No.

You had the buck? Tangerine. There's tangerine in it. Wow. It's the buck cherry? Hard to say. What I know about Vizzy, though, is that if I had every single flavor in my refrigerator, I can reach one hand in, and I can just fish around,

and whatever I come out with, I'm going to be happy with. It's going to be quite enjoyable no matter what it is. Never hurts to add some antioxidants and vitamins to the mix. With Vizzy, you can enjoy a refreshment now with the antioxidant vitamin C, 5% ABV, 100 calories, less than one gram of real cane sugar per can. Every sip of Vizzy is more exhilarating.

Oh, Friday.

We were up here for a bit. That's when we got a visit from a few of the Will mommies, right? No. Was that Thursday? No. Dylan and I were here. You were missing. Dylan and I were out here recording a mail-in episode.

Oh, I was watching Rhodes. People said it was probably the best mail-in of all time, I think. A lot of fun and easy banter. We were on a heater. It was good. Friday night, Dylan had his thing. I'm sorry. I'm moving slow right now.

His engagement party. Got to meet some of Dylan's old friends. Got to meet his new friends. It was a good time. South Congress Hotel. I'm allowed to say that. Yeah. That's my potentially favorite.

It's definitely my favorite hotel bar and potentially my favorite bar. I just like the vibe. It's a great vibe. Sally did something no one's doing at an engagement party, and she ordered a plate of hummus. I feel like that's been done before. I just feel like it's a weird move. We're all standing around having drinks together,

and the waiter comes up with a plate of hummus. Tribute to Dylan. Yeah. Very kind of her. Big game day snack energy. Dylan, your old friends are just, those guys are a hoot. I really like those guys. Do you?

Yeah. They immediately just, as soon as they met me, we were chatting up about the group text, and then they just immediately started telling stories about you. Like, can I tell the one about you kicking out your buddy michael from a high school party oh yeah because you said if you've never seen me with my shirt off you have to leave that's not the story that's what he said my friend my friend adam was at the was at the party and i wanted people to leave because there were too many people in my house and michael was not really a friend of mine at that point

he's fringe guy he was He's a fringe guy. He was a fringe guy. Not even a fringe guy. You are not rocking with Mike. He was working his way up the social ladder within our high school, so he hadn't yet gotten on my level. Okay, you're at the top rung. Wow.

Cocky high school villain. It's at the top. And so I said, I've got to get people to leave. And Adam goes, I'll take care of it. And so he said, if you haven't seen Dylan with his shirt off, you have to leave the party. That's the story. That's what actually happened.

Not what I said. What's the significance of seeing you with your shirt off? What was going on there? I guess under his thinking was his close friends have seen him. Guys on the baseball team have seen him without his shirt on. Guys like Michael had not yet. Because he was still like, where did he start? Give me a little rundown.

I didn't actually meet him. Where did he start? What do you mean? Like his click. Like how did he end up with you? He was with the Pop Punk kids. That's what I want to hear. He was on the tennis team.

Hey, major shout-outs to him. He played D1 tennis, actually. At James Madison University. But he had some friends that we didn't hang out with. And then he had some friends that were kind of my friends. And then eventually he was you know he he had some he had some friends that we didn't hang out with and then he was he had some friends that were like you know kind of my friends and then eventually we became he was in my wedding like he's a great friend of mine now but at the time he wasn't that's that's a real uh it's rags to riches story it really is from the tennis team to dorn's wedding that's what the kids call a glow up yeah seriously really yeah when i when i finally let him like in

my house he was like wow i've made it made it. Hey, shout out to James Madison. Yeah. It's in Virginia. Correct? Yeah. Sure. Yeah, what's their mascot? The Duke.

Damn. Michael out the mud all the way into Dylan's wedding party. That's amazing. I don't know. He started from the bottom, and now he's here. He probably tells everybody that story because he's like, it's triumphant. I've made it. And then, yeah,

Dylan's Engagers party was fun. It was good. We hadn't been out in a while. One of the best, probably the best espresso martini I've ever had. I'm just going to pull back. Dave was a wild boy. Dave rolled in straight up, got an espresso martini first thing. Told everybody how good

it was. And then you became a little whiskey boy out of nowhere did do we have any idea of how much that glass of whiskey cost a little whiskey boy um let me just say i i went with bartender's choice i told him like look dude i've been in on bourbon for a while i've seen it all i want to know what you like and he gave me it was like noah's mill or something i don't was fine. I texted our buddy Ryan, who's a certified bourbon boy. And I was like, hey, man, what do you think of this? And he gave me like all the intel on it. He's like, well, it depends if you get this or this. And, you know, it was fine.

I enjoyed it. Had a couple drinks. Went home. Had to decline a couple dinner invites due to sitter constraints. But it was fun. Good night. Thank you for having us. Thanks for coming, Dave.

To the event. Dylan, did you post any? Bay posted a photo. Fiance Bay did. I was giving Dylan shit with his high school buzz just because it seemed like that's what you do with the old friends you just met. But that was a good look.

Was it? It was just funny. I feel like I was doing too much. No, it was funny, and I had to bust your balls because it's something I knew you were a little bit out of your comfort zone in, but it actually worked. I wanted to hit him with a Navy sport coat, and I had my Everlane jeans on and my new loafers that I'm going to wear a lot of.

But Bay talked me into the tan coat because she thinks I look great in it, and honestly, I can't argue with that. Damn, we got a Hall of Famer. I had the apple-bottom jeans on, too. And I hit them with the apple-bottoms. But yeah, Bae helped me put that one together. Dude, I pulled up in the true religion jeans. It was a prob.

Wow. You didn't. Did you? No, I think I was wearing, like, J. Crew. Very cool. Is it my turn? Go ahead, dude. Yeah, Thursday, Matt's dinner with the interns. Had a great time. crew. Very cool. Is it my turn? Go ahead, dude. Yeah.

Thursday, Matt's dinner with the interns. Had a great time. I'll skip over that. Dave already touched on it. I nailed it. The engagement party was fantastic. Thank you to everyone who showed up. Really appreciate you guys.

My sister and brother-in-law were there with my little niece. I didn't even see them. They were there. Oh, Q-Dog was there. My niece was just putting on alaw were there with my little niece. I didn't even see them. They were there. My niece was just putting on a show. She was out. She was, man. She was great. It was so good to see them. Old friends, like Dave said. Old friends, new friends,

base friends, my friends. Everybody, man. It was just great. It was great. Was it low-key a movie? It was kind of a major motion picture. Blockbuster hit. Box office. Hey, on the Matt's dinner, glaring lack of listeners buying our dinner. Just want to say.

I wasn't even there for that. A low-key got a dinner off Friday night with Drew and Lily. And Ryan's business partner for some reason was also there. And for whatever reason, it was one of the most fun dinners I've ever had in my entire life. What'd you get? You sizzle? I got the Hest we went to la pasilla i know they're good as hell aren't they of course the spanish for the swimming pool but how are their taws they were good taws drew and i just started talking about uh airline miles for some reason that's a very drew conversation and we were just making fun about how people have to spend like,

oh, we only have to spend like 23 more grand this year to get like these $200 tickets. And we were just riffing on each other, and it was absolutely hilarious. So shouts to Drew. Is he a put the meal on his card and then Venmo you kind of guy? I don't know. He didn't do that on Friday. Fiance Bay actually did. Wow.

Is she getting the points? I guess she is. I don't know. What kind of card is she Friday. God. Fiance Bay actually did. Wow. Is she getting the points? I guess she is. I don't know. What kind of card is she? She has an American Express card. Don't leave home without it. What's her number? Do you have her credit card number handy?

You want a credit card number? Yeah. I don't know it offhand. Have y'all seen my new debit card? Yeah. It's swag. The new MasterCard is a problem. Yeah.

Why is that thing such heat? Saturday, I went to Barton Creek. I might leave mine at a bar soon just so I can get a new one. Saturday, I went to Barton Creek. You could just report a loss instead of actually losing it. I'm going to lose it. Had a fantasy football draft out there. Spent all day at Barton Creek.

Damn. The pool. All right, break your team down. I don't love my team. I'll just leave your team down. I don't love my team. I'll just leave it at that. I don't love my team. But, you know, it's early. I can make some moves.

Dan, that's brazy. Do you just have to look that up? Yes, he did. Okay. I thought we weren't doing that. KJ's going to look at his Google history on this computer and be like, why was Dave looking up Brazy? He's going to wonder why I was on TMZ.

Yesterday, I spent the whole day with Parks, and we absolutely killed it. That's your son, right? Yeah, I heard. According to him, we were absolutely killing it yesterday, and he's not wrong. So that was my weekend. It was fantastic. I mean, I pretty much did the exact same thing as y'all all weekend. Pretty much.

You had a glow-up Saturday. I had a glow-up on Saturday? Yeah, thanks to my photo dump of all Will DeVries photos. Oh, yeah. How do you feel about that? How do you feel about me having enough photos that Dave can do an entire photo dump of himself? I don't know why you don't do that for me, too. It's because you always ask for my phone and then judge the photos.

Dave's out here just being an absolute muse. I trust the process. My muse. You don't even try it with me. Dave's my muse. I do. I have a whole folder dedicated to you. It's like Dave pays you a lot of money to just follow him around and take dope pictures.

He also does that. It's kind of convenient. He paid for my entire New Orleans trip. Somebody said this puts off Will's falling in love with Dave vibes. Yeah. And to that I say, normalize falling in love with the homies. I agree. I agree.

I'm like the dude in Love Actually who, instead of taping the wedding, he just taped Keira Knightley the entire time. That's what I did in New Orleans. Is that the balloon thing? Dude. My balloons. I don't know. That is exactly what is happening here. Was that guy problematic thing? My balloons. I don't know. That is exactly what is happening

here. Was that guy problematic? I don't remember how that movie ended. It was a shitty friend. A very shitty friend. He told his best friend's wife that he was in love with her. Hey, love finds a way. My best friend's girl.

I spotted someone on Saturday night who is a person that we've talked about often on this podcast. I did not speak with him. Dude, Wes and Dill? It wasn't Wes and Dill. Do you have any guess of who it was? Ted Cruz. It was not Ted Cruz. Dylan, any guesses?

I don't know. Just name anybody. Matthew McConaughey. It wasn't McConaughey. That's a good guess. Rogan. It wasn't know. Just name anybody. Matthew McConaughey. It wasn't McConaughey. That's a good guess. Rogan. It wasn't Rogan. Elon Musk.

Yeah, I saw Elon Musk. I know you did. I saw Elon for the first time. Does Dave know this yet? I think he does. Yeah, we were sitting there. We were eating some pizza, having a glass of wine, and suddenly I heard my sister-in-law's boyfriend say,

oh, Elon Musk just walked in. I looked behind me. Sure enough, it's Elon. Damn. Dude, he was just bopping with the boys. He had three other dudes with him, and they were just eating pizza, just having a time. Did they look like yes men? Yeah, they were definitely yes men.

Yeah, Elon, dude, remember on SNL in your monologue? Yeah, you should totally go to Pluto. I love that idea. Yeah, I didn't talk to Elon, unfortunately. I didn't think it was appropriate for me to approach Elon while he was eating pizza. Yeah, dude, hey, Bezos is trash. He's rubbing elbows with the richest man alive or second place. Yeah, where is he right now?

Where does he stand right now? Have I seen the richest man alive? I think it's pesos and then him. Damn. Was he asking about me? He didn't ask about you. Yeah, he knows. He was like, I heard you were with the bourbon expert earlier. Do you know what he got? He didn't ask about you. Yeah, he knows. He was like, I heard you were with the bourbon expert earlier.

Do you know what he got? That's a movie, man. He's like, you roll with the original bourbon fan? Yeah, fuck. He's like, I hear that dude makes some crazy concoctions at his house with some jolt and some pappy. Did you ask him to break you off a stack or anything? I didn't.

I thought about asking him to break me off so he could pay for my dinner, but I just didn't get there with him, unfortunately. Wow. Yeah, shouts to Elon, though. He should have just picked up everyone's dinner. Yeah. Share the wealth. Yeah.

You don't know. He could be having a tough week. He could be getting smoked on bills this week. Isn't the deal he doesn't pay taxes? I don't know. Hard to say. Hey, man, I wish I had that problem. Got home from dinner, watched a little Ted Lasso.

I'm going to have to re-watch that at some point. Turns out you shouldn't watch that drunk because you don't remember it all as well as you want it to. Oh, yeah. You don't get in your feels like you want to. There's been some blowback on Ted Lasso. People are now being the contrarians. No, any contrarian is just a hater. I did watch something that I wish I didn't watch.

I watched 15 minutes last night of He's All That, starting Addison Rae and Kourtney Kardashian. You're saying it's really, really good and the acting is phenomenal. You know, Addison Rae is by all means one of the worst actresses of all time. But what's amazing is that her poor acting performance was overshadowed by Kourtney Kardashian's poor acting performance. I've never seen anything like it. The movie was so bad that instead of just falling asleep or maybe just watching something else, I just decided to go to bed. It ruined my Sunday night. What is this even on? What's this about?

I have never heard of this. Netflix. It's a remake of He's All That or She's All That. And they actually have Rachel Lee Cook as the mom of Addison Rae. Addison Rae is a noted TikTok sensation? She's the TikTok sensation, David. Okay. That's all I did.

I started watching Clickbait with Vinny Chase. There's a lot to say about it. I don't know if it's good yet. Okay. It's on the radar? Are you binging? No, I watched one app, Dave. Dude, don't.

What? Why would he come in here after not binging something? No, no. Dude, don't. What? Why would he come in here after not binging something? I don't know. Dude, are you freaking kidding me? Wait, is it they've only released one, or is it? No, I just. What? You just watched one episode of something when there's more available.

Yeah, I know. It's anti-bing. A loco. Are you serious about doing this pod thing? Like, you won't even binge a show. Dude, you'd have to binge. Would y'all shut up? Are you okay?

God. Let's hear from our friends over at Cuts. Whether you're hustling for a promotion, working on your golf swing, wish Brett was here for that, or just chilling with friends, Cuts clothing keeps you feeling good and looking sharp. To mark their five years of creating clothing that can be dressed up or down for anything, Cuts is having a month-long anniversary celebration. Five years ago, the Cuts founder, Steve Borelli, shouts to Steve,

he set out to create clothes for every occasion the modern man faces. And since then, Cuts has become the Tesla of t-shirts, hoodies, polos, sweatshirts, and more. And I can say that because I'm best friends with the guy who started Tesla. We eat pizza together. I don't know if that's accurate to say. Dude, they have their

signature buttery soft Pika Pro Tri-Blend tees and their cozy Hyperloop French Terry fabric hoodies. Can you imagine having a normal loop hoodie? Give me the loop. No, these are Hyperloop. Dave's been wearing the Pika so much, he's been calling them Pikachu. Isn't that right, Dave?

Really? Yeah. Let me get a Pikachu. They're like, dude, there goes Piki blinders. Damn. I'm trying to catch them all right now. By all, I mean all the cut shirts I can get. You should catch me.

It's what I'm wearing. It's my official clothing of binging. You know GQ called their classic Pika Pro the one that... They actually call you the Pika Pro. Well, I've got a lot of nicknames that all relate to this one specific thing. Yeah, GQ.

They called it the only shirt worth wearing. GQ stands for Gentleman's Quarterly. They know what they're talking about. Yeah, you think... They've been around for a minute. They've kind of got some credibility in the game. Yeah. Their hoodies also were specially developed with their Hyperloop French Terry fabric.

Shots to French Terry out there. I'm French Terry. That's how the sweatshirt would talk. Put it in reverse, French Terry. I'm French Terry. I'm a material with temperature control that I'm ageless. Okay.

Okay. Shouts to them, though. They also have the Peek-A-Wood wrinkle-free. Yeah. I've been coming into the studio lately

with hella wrinkly. Everyone is wrinkly. Yeah, you have. I need to start wearing more cuts. Have you been, did you get kicked out of the house?

You've been living in Micah's drawer? I might have been. If there was, honestly, if I was going to live in someone's drawer after getting kicked

out of the house, it would probably be Micah's. Either way, this month marks the Cuts' fifth anniversary. I'm sorry. Let me start over. I got a little confused here. This month marks the Cuts' fifth anniversary, and they're doing it big with two collection drops, a product launch and a week-long special event.

Go to cutsclothing.com and get 25% off site-wide during their anniversary sale. That's 25% off site-wide at CutsClothing.com. 25%. That's a quarter. Make it happen. That's a serious amount. Dave, I made you omit something from your weekend and fun because I wanted to talk about it at length. Dude, and I was chomping at the bit to talk about it.

Don't they call you the original brisket boy now? No's calling that well yeah bb dude a lot of people randy are you down with obb i've been talking about this i got a skit off i did a skit on saturday and um it was not a whim i had not planned on doing i think i alluded to maybe wanting to do one last week when dylan was calling me out for never doing one which was fair uh and then so saturday came around i was having a day i'd been pulling weeds you guys seen these weeds i've been pulling them and i was like you know what i'm gonna do some meats so i did a skit randy can you show us the skit i'm call you arby's because you got the meat 5.4 pounds this is from heb um this photo that i've posted here, and it was on my Instagram story. I'll post it again somewhere.

At Meat Smokers only, probably. This is at about 2.30 a.m. Unfortunately, the timing didn't work out for Dave. They call that dentist time. What time did you put it on? So I put it on at about 7.30, thinking it was going to be an overnight thing. And I ended up doing the Meat Church guy's recipe, which is 2.75 on the trigger. Put it on 7.30 p.m.?

Correct. Oh, okay. I didn't want to wait. I was in the zone. I was like, I'm doing this now. Oh, wow. I don't want to wait. Well, I thought I could get up at like

5 a.m and deal with it which is fine because that's not that early when you have a kid i guess when you have a trigger it just maintains pretty well yes you can leave yeah yeah the triggers makes it very easy a lot of people pointed that out to me and i thank you for your comments they're backhanded but um if you're calling people out for doing a brisket on a trigger you're you're just the ultimate scum. What's your problem? There's a number of people. Follow at meatsmokersonly on Instagram.

There's some people who aren't familiar with anything outside of what meatsmokersonly is, and they don't get it. They don't understand that this is my first brisket. Whatever. That's fine. The preparation was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be just seasoned it up I might have got a little heavy on the pepper I'm going to bring some for you no such thing no such thing as you can see on the cutting board like heavy pepper but yeah Dylan so I did the meat church guys version and it was like 275 till it gets up to 160 pull it wrap it in butcher paper put it back

on well it got to 160 very quickly yeah which surprised me how long um i i want to say like two and a half hours holy shit yeah can i ask dylan a question here how do you how do you feel about this brisket um i don't see a smoke ring there's definitely a smoke ring zoom in oh do we have a smoke ring controversy can't zoom in kjo vouch the people that's i'm not saying there's not that's like the one thing i did right i think well dylan's also colorblind oh yeah you literally can't see it yeah you can't see the difference dog okay well i see a smoke ring david it and it was fairly moist uh the cut that i picked up was a little lean um this picture doesn't show but like did you did you buy a trimmed brisket yes okay but not the full trim just like the partial trim

but yeah that was that was an issue because the ones that i that weren't were huge and i didn't want to do a lot of people buy they don't want to fool with like trimming it themselves so they'll buy a trimmed brisket and a lot of time they cut away way too much fat definitely that was a thing that i that i realized when i got there but at the same time i also didn't want to do a 12 pound brisket yeah how many pounds was this 5.4 oh that's a little fella yeah i guess that's why that's why i cook so fast that makes makes sense. 275, pretty hot. So when it hit 160 that quickly, I dumped it down to 180 just to toss smoke on it. And then I pulled it, did the butcher paper wrap, threw it back on.

1250, I took it off. I was still up. I think I was watching, like, fucking whatever UFC fight. I love that you took it off at 2.30 in the morning. Hell yeah. So, no, I took it off at 12.50, threw it in a cooler, slept on my couch with Randy until about 2.30, 2.45, set an alarm, got up, pulled it out, carved it,

half asleep, lucky I didn't lose a finger. As you can see, I was rocking the black latex gloves that are just hella sketch. Is that the hard-on move? Is that like a hard-on move or is that like a standard move? It's what you see the big dogs doing. I hate having grease on my hand and having a – it's fine. Okay. I didn't get black because I thought they were cool.

Hella juice vibes. Johnny Trash. Was it good? Yeah. Let's get down to brass tacks. Was your fucking brisket good? It was very good. No, it wasn't very good.

It was good. There's some things I don't like about it. I sliced part of it right, like against the grain, and then the other part might have been messed up. But I had some with my eggs this morning. We had some yesterday. It's good. Like I said, I might have gone a little crazy on the pepper.

That being said, we can remedy that next time. I've got a bunch. I should have brought some today for y'all to try, but it needs to be heated up, obviously. I don't know. It was good. I don't know if I like doing it more than I just like throwing on like a pork shoulder or ribs or something.

Yeah. But it's good to have it under my belt. It's a fun. I usually start. I haven't done in a long time, but I usually put them on super early in the morning. That's what I would do. I just make a day of it, you know. That's what I would do next time.

But this was all spontaneous. A little bit cooler than 275. Just to draw it out a little bit. And I get a bigger one too. Five small. Five and a half, you said? Small. But.

There's only two of us. Right. I just, I would be, too. Five is small. Five and a half, you said? Small. What? There's only two of us. Right. I would be scared to cook one that small is why I'm saying that. See, I was scared to cook one that big. Yeah, Dave's not. You're not scared of meat, though, dude. I'm the original meat man. Really?

So I actually did a brisket, too. I put my brisket in the microwave, and then every 10 minutes, I put it on high for like a minute and then let it like settle a little bit. And then I just kept doing that all night. Dave and I were texting about how our briskets were going. How'd yours end up? Really good.

Really good. Really? Yeah. There was no smoke ring. What's the bark look like on it? Dude, it's just fucking barking. Oh. Dog.

I didn't know you could get that kind of bark with a microwave. I might have to try that. It's cool. No, it's good. Very cool. Next time I would plan this out a little bit more and again not be trimming it up at 3 a.m. Dude, I like the idea of a 3 a.m. brisket sesh. It's 3 a.m.

I must be trimming. Hold on. Is there another word that we can use that fits better? No. Not that I have. It's 3 a.m. I must be trimming. Hold on. Is there another word that we can use that fits better? No. Not that I have. It's 3 a.m. I must be smoking. It looks good.

It looks good. It looks good. It looks... It's fine. Dave, I'm going to... I'm giving myself... I'm grading on a curve. I'm giving myself a B+.

Without the curve, probably a C. I'm going to give you the nod of, I would eat this brisket. Wow. Congratulations. Congratulations. Hey, that brisket, I'm going to eat it. I'm going to eat you.

What would you eat it with, tortilla or white bread? Tortilla, dude. All the real ones know that tortilla is better than white bread. Man, that's the only thing that was missing was just some generic white bread for this brisket. It's the only thing I messed up on. Damn. You know what else is missing? Crate challenges from TikTok.

How's that make you feel? You know, I support this. No. No. It's like when we made a decision to stop posting videos

of people getting smoked with golf carts because we felt responsible for the injuries, TikTok has taken the same approach. As content creators, we've got to appreciate it. There's a huge difference. There's a huge difference

between dudes on the golf course mowing each other over with golf carts and people doing the crate challenge. The difference is that the people getting hit by golf carts didn't have a choice in the matter. They were just sitting ducks out there. The people doing the crate challenge, they're trying to flex and get up there and do it.

Okay. So we can't even do a crate challenge at this point. Bummer. We can't release our video on TikTok. We can. It just might not be posted. No, we totally already taped one, but we can't release it anymore. Man, cancel culture has just gone too far, man.

How are we going to cancel crate challenges? Hey, crates, get out of here. Because I'll tell you why. Because people are really stupid and they won't stop themselves because it's really dangerous they'll stop because they have to how has how have we not seen one video of people doing like a super aggressive one that's like three times as high as a normal one you have seen one that is instead of like the normal five or six it's at least eight or nine no you can't be doing that like dude that there's no way

yeah that's you're asking. Did you see the guy? The last one I saw was the dude who falls and hits his face square on the crate. Oh. Like, I mean, it looks like a full face break. It was posted by, like, an Austin channel or something. Austin TV or whatever it was.

Really? Like the, yeah. I don't know if it was in Austin, but I think it was. If they're going to ban the crate challenges, why aren't they going to ban the kids doing the arrest challenge? The arrest challenge is terrible. What's the arrest challenge? The one that hashtag Chad brought to our attention,

I think on either Friday or Saturday morning. It was very bad. Oh. It's a TikTok where kids decide that they're going to get fake arrested, so they have their face pressed up against a wall with their hands behind their back, that they're going to get fake arrested. So they have their face pressed up against a wall with their hands behind their back. And there's like a light, like a police, like siren thing happening.

And then the kid turns around and presumably looks at the camera, who is his girlfriend and mouths, I love you to her. What the hell? Dude, TikTok stinks. If you're, if I swear to God. 85% of it's bad. If I ever see Fritz doing something like this, I'm taking his phone and I'm throwing it into Lake Austin.

This is like the Sway House kids have started this ridiculous movement of just being seductive into the camera. It's so uncomfortable for me. As a guy who considers himself very comfortable, it still makes me uncomfortable. Yeah, you're just decked out in Cuts clothing pikachu over here how does getting arrested how do the two even like what is the connection i don't know there was also one there was also a trend a long time ago that was just like a dude getting fake broken up with like it was just dudes that were like making up captions

and putting it underneath and they were getting broken up with and it was just their reaction to getting broken up with and it was just them like licking their lips and staring at the screen biting their lip and oh my god i'm all like if you're if you're gonna be in the sway house and you're gonna be doing like dances you're gonna be hitting whips and nays and stuff like that by all means like just do it that's lame please but don't pretend to get arrested on tiktok if you're biting your lip on camera unless you're cole campbell you got to cut that shit out you have to it is no one wants to cut that shit out. You have to. No one wants to see that. It's really uncomfortable, and I promise you there will come

a time in your life where you're going to look back and regret the shit out of all those ridiculous videos that you've made. There's going to be a time where I regret certain things. We're going to regret certain segments we do on this podcast at some point in our lives. But I will at least say that in the moment they were at least entertaining, the cringiness of the

arrest tiktok challenges is just so off the charts that i can't even describe one uh they're not that bad i probably would do one if i'm just you just said they're trash yeah but if i but if i'm gonna do if i'm gonna do one it's gonna be for the company under the idea that it's obviously lame. Odds will do. Odds I do want. Cowboy will want. So just to be clear about the rules of odds, if we land on a number that adds up to the number I say, you have to do it.

I'm going in full aware of that. Okay. I need to ask one question before we do it. I want to make sure that this is done correctly. Randy, if this odds pans out, will you help produce this video? Okay, because I need Randy's help. I'm hoping for no blood here. I don't want any of you guys doing this.

Well, you know if our thing adds up to a certain number, you have to do it. That is not true. No, it's true. I am not participating. No, it's actually the other rule that if we don't actually hit, then you have to do it. What are the odds? The odds are going to be 12. Oh, no.

This is too much. Dude, that's too low. do 32 12 all right want me to count it down you guys hold on i'm trying to think what number i want yeah got it all right ready yep one two three three oh i had you going nine for some reason i decided to go three. Dude, you tried to freak my mind, but he couldn't. I might still do one of these. I just want to do it. Let's just do it.

People want us to do it. The country will TikTok. It probably should have gotten released to the masses at some point. I can't watch that TikTok. Why? It makes me cringe too hard. What? Does it make you feel emasculated because I'm just oozing masculinity?

Yeah. Don't let your girl see it. Dude, yeah, you're the Aubrey Huff of TikTok. Can you imagine if your girl saw my TikTok? She wouldn't be my girl anymore. Nuh-uh. She'd be mine. Come over here.

That's what I'd say to her. The thought of fake getting arrested to turn around and just like... Don't slap your thigh. ...seducing your girlfriend is just so... I don't know your thigh seducing your girlfriend it's just so i don't know what crime did they like hypothetically commit like they're getting pinned up and he's like able to like look back at bay and look back at it yeah like in this scenario like the police presumably went into their house what if you did it and look back and just in his mouth spit on it bay spit on it spit on it she's like you're in handcuffs this is i'm not gonna see you for uh the near future you're going

to jail yeah someone did it someone did processed someone did one where they were they they did a fake one where the person was filming themselves taping the police one and then someone walks in on them and they're like what are you doing i like that it's just meta it's good yeah that's wonderful i love that but yeah tiktok the thought yeah the thought of like seeing people do this like record these in real life oh we got we got a sneezy boy coming sneezy boy oh what a professional he turned his mic down for the sneeze and now he's going back up. Who are you? I'm different. You are different. And I made sure to get one big sneeze out because you guys told me before the podcast

that if I sneeze more than twice, you're not going to hit me with a bless you. You did three earlier, and honestly, it was very annoying. It's not like I'm trying to sneeze all the time, dude. You're allowed two, and that's it. Everyone knows that. It's a standard rule. No, I think three is the standard rule for sneezes. It's definitely two. The third one, you're just showing off. Like, oh, okay. We're going to bless you again. It's a standard rule. No, I think three is the standard rule for sneezes. It's definitely two.

The third one, you're just showing off. Like, oh, okay. We're going to bless you again. It's an involuntary act. We're going to bless you again. The first sneeze is the one that's like, oh, shit, I need to sneeze. Beyond bless you alert because you've got a sneezy boy in the house. The second one is like, all right, I'm going to try to wrap this up.

But then sometimes you need that third. Your first one is a set-up sneeze. Like, oh, here comes a big boy. And then, boom, you hit him with the second one. It's like, all right, game's over. Move on with your day. You went in with the third, and you're just getting too greedy. I don't think I'm getting greedy.

I'm not sitting here looking around. I'm not sneezing looking around like, who's going to bless me? I'll drop four on you if you're not careful. Then I will leave your house. I'll hit you with a quad. Then I'm out. You were never even there. I don't put up with that shit. I didn't let you you in my house because you never seen me with my shirt off yes i have not enough though

first thing first thing your buddy i can't remember his name i apologize he goes have you ever seen dylan's tattoo and i was like yeah we saw it like two weeks ago you're not breaking news man dylan popped cheek in the studio a couple weeks ago. It was swag. I popped bottoms for Randy in here. That's facts. I appreciated it. Yeah.

The first time you showed me was on the EDM cruise. I'll do it right now. You walked out of the shower, and you just had a towel over your piece, and I was like, oh, that's Dylan. He's naked. I try to see your turd cutter in the morning. Okay. Buddy, you're going to wish you had.

No, I've seen it. You're severely lacking cake lately. Are you kidding? Yeah. No, I'm not. I'm super caked. Nah. You kidding? You're lacking cake.

Your engagement party was actually lacking cake. How are you not going to have a cake there for your boy to nosh on? I'm not doing cake. Nosh. He said nosh. What does that even mean? What is nosh? Nosh?

It means eat, dude. Since when? I mean, yeah. Are you kidding? I've never heard that word. Imagine not knowing that nosh is actually food, or to eat food enthusiastically or greedily. There you go. I actually crushed that.

You did. You didn't know that. Speaking of nosh, I need to rewatch or go back and finish Fast and Furious. Have you not completed it? You guys listened to Little Nosh? No, I didn't have. You're not binging these? You guys hear Lil Nas X's new song?

Stop. Dude, did you see the controversy or the controversy with Tony Hawk? Uh-huh. He was doing the blood skateboards. Mm-hmm. Fair point. No, I think Lil Nas X has a good point here.

By the Nas man? Yeah, he kind of got wronged. I don't remember the circumstances around his blood shoe. Was it a blood shoe? Yeah, he had a blood shoe. Wasn't there like some satanic? I think the real, I think the actual. Or like, did we just, did people just make that up?

No, people, no. It was because he, in his music video that he released prior to the shoe, he was giving Satan a lap dance. Okay. Well, okay, just to literally play devil's advocate here. If you're in hell and Satan's like, give me a lap dance, you're giving Satan a lap dance, right? I mean, presumably.

You're already in hell. Maybe you can get out if you're getting on Satan's good side. It's like, hey, if I give you a lap dance, you mind if I peace up? I don't know if it works that way. Spit on it, bitch. Yeah, give you a lap dance, you mind if I peace up? I don't know if it works that way. Spit on it, babe. Spit. Yeah, that's a good Satan voice. If Satan got a lap dance, what would he get it to?

Probably what? Running with the devil. There you go. There you go. He's like, you know, this is about me. This song. I love Van Halen. I don't have anything to add to that.

He calls him Van Helen. Okay. Can we talk about our good friends over at Ritual? Yeah. From Ritual, the multivitamin company you know and trust. They have protein powders now. You know these protein powders, especially for someone like me who hasn't been big in the protein game lately, they can feel a little intimidating. You know, we know from like pre-workouts and stuff

that these things can skew pretty aggressive. Yeah. When it comes to ritual, though, nah. They're formulas. They're opaque, not just because they're powder. But the truth is, deep down, as in cellular level deep, we all need protein, and it's about more than just muscles. So their team of scientists, you guys ever heard of Harvard?

The Crimson? It's an Ivy ever heard of Harvard? The Crimson? It's an Ivy League school. It's the Crimson? They reimagined protein from the ground up and inside out, from how it's made to who it's made for and why it's needed. And their result is a delicious plant-based protein, or as I call it, PVP. It's offered in three premium formulations for distinct life stages and unique nutrient needs,

all with the same high standards and approach to commitment of traceability that Ritual is known for. So whether you're doing reps or you're taking dog walks, Dylan, introducing the essential protein, which is here to shake things up. I got some of this in the mail. I have to say, not only is it delightful, it came with a shaker. You're just Mr. Gaines these days, man, with the pre-workout and the protein. Trying. Getting after it.

I had a child for no other purpose than to lean my arms up a little bit. I was like, oh, these are getting a little chunky. I need to lean them up, and I need to start lifting like five to six pounds every day. Really? That's why I had a kid. Look how lean these are now, dude. There's not an ounce of fat on my arms. We're talking about working on that cake. If you want to get caked up.

What we know about ritual protein is that it's made traceable. You deserve to know what you're putting in your body and why. They're a one-of-a-kind visible supply chain. There's a lot of supply chains out there. Not many of them are visible. This one is. You always know what's in their formulas, where the ingredients

come from and why they're included and it supports daily health for tomorrow as much as today it's made with nutrients to support bones brains and muscles and to help maintain muscle mass as you age dylan uh this is clean pvp like i said uh it's got everything for every life stage 18 and over pregnancy and postpartum shouts all the mommies out there, even if you're 50 plus, they got that pea protein. 20 grams of it, Dave. That's good. I double it. I go double the serving.

That's just me. You want to make another comment about the pea protein? Remember what you said last time? Dude, I love peas. Get some butter on there. Remember what you said last time? It's bomb. Or should I remind you?

Remind me. You called it bomb ass pea. It is. It's good. It's great pea protein. It's good butter on there. Remember what you said last time? It's bomb. Or should I remind you? Remind me. You called it bomb-ass pee. It is. It's good. It's great pee protein. It's good pee protein. They have no added sugar or sugar alcohols. Just go get some.

Try it. Stop listening to us talk about it. Just go try it. Why not shake up your ritual to make trying something new a little less scary? Ritual offers a money-back guarantee if you're not 100% in love. Plus, our listeners get 10% off during their first three months. Just visit ritual.com slash circling back and add the essential protein today. That's ritual.com slash circling back for 10% off. If I were Dylan, I would say this. Let's get ritual, ritual. But I'm not, so I won't do that.

Dylan, can you give us your Donda thoughts? Donda. Yeah, I will. What is Donda for the folks at home? Donda is the new Kanye West album that finally was released after, dare I say, months of teasing that it would be released. It has been released over the weekend, Saturday-ish, maybe? Saturday. Saturday.

Or no, was it yesterday morning? Within the last 48 hours. Whenever it was. Anyway. 26 songs, eh? 27, maybe? 27 tracks, I should say. They're not all songs.

The first one's a chant. That brings up a good point. Donda, Donda. That made me uncomfortable. I'll say. They're not all songs. The first one's a champ. That brings up a good point. Donda. That made me uncomfortable. I'll say it. Of the 27 tracks, only a few of them you can actually take seriously. Some of them are just noise for a minute

and a half, two minutes. They don't really make much sense. One song I really, really like. And it is called, remind me what it's called? Off the Grid? Off the Grid? Off the Grid. Haven't even heard it yet. It's really good.

The other songs, I don't like the album. I'll just say that. Songs leave a lot to be desired. Is there any room for this album to grow on you? No. No. What's that man doing? That's very close-minded.

He's been doing this thing for the last few albums his style of song is where he it's like all in one key basically it's very monotonous it's all in one key

it's like a high pitch kind of gospel-y kind of melodic and then you keep waiting for like the the beat to drop and he just drops bars on your face

and it just doesn't come like it doesn't happen and it just leaves me wanting so much more of this song. It leaves me wanting so much more. I'm just like, man, this could have been so much better if you just, like, hit it right here. But instead, it's just the whole song of him just doing, like... I don't even know if you can call him a rapper anymore.

He doesn't rap anymore. He definitely raps. No, he doesn't. You're saying he does not rap on his rap album. He doesn't really rap anymore. I've listened to... No, I did think I listened to way more. I didn't realize it was 27 tracks. Even the song that I pointed out, Off the Grid, it's a featured track.

He's not even the one doing the actual rapping. He doesn't have a verse on Off the Grid? He might, but he doesn't snap on it. Okay. How dare he not snap on it? It's not for me. The album's not for me. I will listen to Off the Grid repeatedly because it's a very good song.

Did DaBaby verse make it on? I remember that was kind of a controversy. It's on Jail Part 2. But Jail Part 2 has not been released on Spotify. Oh, it's on Apple. It's done on Spotify. Are you sure? They might have released it since, but yesterday morning when i went on spotify it was like blanked out you couldn't actually see it and to be clear is marilyn manson actually on this i don't

think so he was just there for the performance it's already a bad look to have marilyn manson at your performance i think it's an even worse look if you're going to feature marilyn manson at this point i don't know if you can do that why yeah mar Marilyn Manson has several pretty aggressive allegations out against him right now, and I think we've got to let the dust settle before we have any Marilyn Manson takes for a little bit. Why did he drop the Hova verse for DaBaby? I don't know. It's on jail.

The Hova's verse did make it. Oh, it did? Okay. But on the, it's wherever the... Jail Part 2? Not jail, not the song i'm sorry i'm thinking wherever he did the performance in chicago or wherever that was it was left they played uh the baby numerous tracks on this album are just straight up throwaway tracks like just fillers yeah that's and i can't

get behind that style that he is so into now like i don't 27 27 tracks. 27 is a lot. Give me 12 really good songs. I threw it on this morning, and I got through about six songs, and I was like, okay, I've listened to a good portion of this. Got in, started talking to y'all, and then you informed me that there's much, much more. Yeah.

I was like, man, I don't know if I'll ever listen to this all the way through. What I've listened to, it's not a masterpiece. It's not a Kanye masterpiece by any means. I didn't know Master P was featured on this. I thought this was going to suck. There's been a few songs that I enjoy, including Off the Grid,

but I'm only six away through. Certified Heat. I'm going to admit, I haven't listened to it yet. Like you said, the one with the weekend is pretty good. I haven't listened to it yet because I'm not a big fan of Kanye dropping this on a weekend. I'm trying to enjoy my Sunday morning. I don't want to listen to a 26-track album right now. I need it during a work day.

I want it to drop on a Friday so I can sit there all morning listening to it while lightly doing work. Like you said, track one is just chanting. It's just Donda over and over again. Well, that's fine. You just skipped the intro track. I know, but that's not the way you set a tone for an album. Do you... I mean, Kanye's done that before.

So he's been doing these arena tours. I guess he did one in Atlanta, and then he brought his old house to Chicago. I saw someone saying, and I actually think this is an interesting theory, is that he's actually benefiting from these in a way because he can play the song for a crowd, see how they react to it, and then go back and start editing the music and change things

or do whatever. I don't know if he was doing that, but if he was doing that, I don't hate the methodology of this. Did he respond to the controversy of DaBaby by saying that, well, DaBaby is the only person who said he would vote for me? Yes. So he had to give him a little something. It's like...

Okay. You didn't have to put him on the album. Yeah, that justifies his... DaBaby, who we learned recently, rescinded his apology. Yeah. What if it's like... Who's doing that? What if, like, Meghan McCain was like, I'm going to vote for Kanye, and is he going to give her a verse?

I want to hop on the track. I don't know if anyone wants Meghan McCain on Donda. She's leaving The View. Damn. Anyway, what are your thoughts on The View? You go home every day and watch the recorded version of it. No, I watch The Talk. Early on in Watched, Dave tried to put it in the contract that we wouldn't record during The View. It's not true. You're a big Joy Behar guy. Is she? Oh, God.

Dylan, I do have some iPhone 13 news for you. Have you seen this? No. This is big. If there's ever a time for you to upgrade your phone, I think it's right now. I'm ready to upgrade. Let me upgrade.

Because apparently the new iPhone 13 series will feature low Earth orbit or LEO technology. What about LFO technology? They don't have any of that. The light funky ones? But it's a satellite communication connectivity which will allow users to make calls and send messages when their cell signal is not available. Are you kidding? This means if you have an iPhone 13, you can get a text anywhere, Dylan.

It's basically a satellite phone? Wanna get away? That's sick. Are you kidding me? I think you need one of these. You never get any of our texts right yeah that was no excuse that's sick man I am upgrading let me upgrade you is this the thing where you have to get up at like 4 a.m and like like for the phone drop I've done that once and it was miserable were you doing a brisket I will be calming as? Just do a brisket next time the iPhone 13 comes out. I have a problem timing said brisket. You gotta think Apple.com

is where you would go to cop this. No, I said when can I cop? Oh, I don't know. I'm not eligible for an upgrade right now, so I'm not worried about it. Let me upgrade. My camera, which I thought was good, when I use a phone with a natural good camera, it is so different. Dude, I'm sure it's the technology and not the user.

It is. Yeah, thank you. You should have Will take all your photos. He does that for me. Let's not. I don't want to talk about that. Did you see my photo dump at DC Rough on Instagram? Like, a lot of people are like, these photos look like they're like a movie set.

I liked it from at DShivery on Instagram. You liked it. I double tapped. Which one was your favorite one that you took of me? Let me go through. Lafitte's. Probably Lafitte's. That one's dope. My hand's in that picture. Not to brag, but.

I saw your little stubby fingers. I got great fingers, man. Little sausage hand. I mean, let's see. We got Dave drinking his whiskey at the South Congress Hotel. That's good. The one of us choosing our frozen drinks is actually pretty good. Let's see. The one of us choosing our frozen drinks is actually pretty good. And then, let's see. The Fit Pick on Bourbon Street

was pretty hard. I had to cut Dylan out because he made me. You got his shoe in there. My shoe. Did I? My shoe. Was this the sassy...

I thought this guy was the sassy drug dealer. That is him. So he was drinking a glass of red wine on the street while selling joints to people like us.

We didn't buy any joints, just to be clear hard to say hey we got special guests in the building oh my gosh oh oh dylan better sit up dylan do you need some do you need some phone books right now hello everybody no no no you gotta lean into it i was contractually obligated by you know one of the i think the majority owner is where the email with the email tagline. Oh yeah. Uh, it's a majority owner decision made unilaterally. Uh, KJ, if you would go ahead and lower that seat a little bit.

So, you know, just to appease the top dog. It's a good looking shirt, man. It is. See, look, it's deflecting already. Did it for Dippy. Oh man. Let me set that barrel chest on KJ though. Okay.

Dylan's just Dylan's posture. Never been more. Yeah. What's your barrel chest on KJ, though. Okay. Dylan's posture has never been more. Yeah, what's your problem? Barrel chest? It's really just this dividing line between Randy and I. It's like anywhere here is like the H jet stream, if you will. Like it goes just in this direction. It usually lands on the cake doctor over there, but I guess I'm in the way. The cake doctor? Who's the cake doctor?

Is that Randy? Yeah. He's the horniest in the room? Oh, yeah. Here comes the cake doctor is that randy yeah he's the horniest in the room oh yeah here comes the cake well you know guys as we all know this is time for uh bbn as as we established last week stands for uh bigger better news but uh let me just run through the rundown just to make sure have you guys done all fun news today because if so i'd like to bring the room on down for uh guys done all fun news today because if so i'd like to bring the room on down for uh bring it down bearer of bad news bring it on down bring it down um i say that jokingly but yeah as going

through all of the headlines of today it doesn't look like there's much space for fun so we can do this one of two ways i've got three topics you want to go you know bad bad good good bad good how do you how do you want to end on good? Yeah. And I'm good. And I'm good. Oh, well, let's, let's start with one thing. Uh, I think deserves proper acknowledgement really from all of us. I think we're all pretty moved and troubled by the scenes that have kind of taken place over the last 10, two weeks, 10 days, two weeks over in Afghanistan, obviously not the platform really for us to kind of dive deep on, you know, obviously not the platform really for us to kind of dive deep on you know geopolitical goings on but you know as as uh i think we all understand there's always an opportunity to kind of express gratitude and the understanding of what it means to kind of you know sacrifice at

that level so it did want to make sure that didn't go without uh you know some sort of uh we talked about this before the pod uh our friend friend of the show yeah captain cons there you go from uh zero blog or uh zero blog 30 yeah um dude i mean those guys have been all over it and they've they've they've written some great stuff and they've had good stuff follow them on twitter check out their kate from uh barstool who is also a host on that podcast she had a very interesting write-up that I read. Because, you know, you can get your news from anywhere. You can go read anything.

You can read what reporters are saying. Hearing an actual former service member's thoughts on it was actually – it was very eye-opening for me. And we have so many listeners out there who reach out to us who are deployed, who just came back from a deployment and can't wait to binge some of our podcasts. They've sent us letters. They've sent us photos of them listening in jets, like anywhere. It's all very cool. And we appreciate the support so much. And it's, I mean, we also have support on our end.

We always support our service people. But when something like this happens, it really puts things into perspective all over again, gives you an extra appreciation for what they do. So, yep, absolutely. And we can tackle it a little bit next week, but I do want to figure out how we can walk the fine line of being who we are, but also maybe discussing a little, do you remember where you were when coming up on that 20th anniversary?

So we'll table that for next week. But for our second round of Bad, Bad, Good here on BBN News, I'm sure it's been mentioned off top but i also want to uh afford room we've got uh tons of listeners down in louisiana and and the gulf coast area um i just got off of a call uh for work just talking about some of the ripple effects of a huge uh devastating like we have with Hurricane Ida down there. Really, not enough can be said that isn't, you know, generic at this point. But if there's something that could be provided or done for anyone who ends up in the Dallas area, let me know. I saw David was in a Discord mentioning if somebody was in the Austin area.

Dinner on the D-Man. Dinner on D-Man. I would take him up on that. Can I slide into this? He has like four places. I will do dinner with you, yes. Nice. Nice.

But yeah, it's, again, Hurricane Katrina, we're at the 15th anniversary of that i would say between 9-11 and that like two just like a seismic events that really shaped kind of my high school college experiences that's both that happened like freshman year and freshman year uh i guess sophomore year um so in the sense that we're dealing with one of those again uh a lot's going to change for a lot of people live in those areas so if there's anything that you that we can personally assist with, reach out directly. Yeah, all of New Orleans and the surrounding parishes, I believe, out of no power.

And I think I saw it might be weeks. Like, I mean, we dealt with the freeze, I mean, five days maybe. Some people were out of power. No, not Duffery. No, you would deal with the freeze every day of the week. But the thought but that the thought of that is just terrifying yeah it's um it's it's a lot uh so for those who don't know my other uh occupations involved in health care and so part of that is speaking oftentimes the ceos

of hospitals or people who lead surgery centers and whatnot uh and one of the administrators we were having a conversation with had to stay. Obviously, you don't have the opportunity to close down a hospital. They have massive generators. They're kind of prepared for this sort of thing, but maybe not to this magnitude. And just getting your patients through the day or the night or the week, like that's one thing. The ongoing need for fuel for your generators is maybe not something they were expecting,

but the byproduct of all of this is just think about how many more people will need help. So even if you're not necessarily immediately local or available to do anything personally, there are going to be opportunities that present themselves over the next few weeks, even if it's not monetarily, you know, donating blood, clothes, all sorts of things. Keep an eye out for those sorts of things. Maybe animals are your thing. SPCA from the regions are going to be inundated with animals that were evacuated from the area. You know, find your thing. SPCA from the regions are going to be inundated with animals that were evacuated from the area. Find your niche. If you've got causes that you find to be important to

you and you think that we can help out, I know our platform on social isn't the biggest, but we will definitely retweet anything that gets sent our way in terms of helping and try to get some exposure for those things. I'll do my best to stay on the timeline, stay in the mentions, get some retweets going, make sure that we can get some of the awareness out there.

Yeah, and if you're local and you know of opportunities where you feel like we could have a positive influence, let me know. We'll talk about some of the effects as far as the sports world over on Too Much Dip, another podcast you'll find for free, by the way, here on this feed here locally. Hey! But now for a little bit of positivity hit us uh you you guys ever heard of las vegas yeah i've been once you know dylan loves las vegas my hockey team plays there oh that's true that's true i know you're not like a big vegas guy like will is if i've heard he spent many hours there he crushed his first trip

there my pregnant wife and i went crazy it was very it was a movie um vegas is reporting its largest month uh as far as casino wins ever at 1.6 billion dollars vegas brought in and i guess the month of july as things were beginning to open up so the house is winning the most or the people that are going are winning the house uh yeah definitely not the people that are bad bad for the learn that the hard way although the people that go usually what do they attribute that to the most um sorry i had to force that most i got it in there uh i would say they'd probably pent up demand if you will uh i for one have definitely come in here and been like hey uh i could do a vegas trip if anyone wants to do a 36 hour jaunt if you will like i got a flight credit i have to use just saying yeah your boy does as well

so i mean your boy does not turn down a vegas trip i mean i don't i don't have any flight credits i don't have any flight credits but i could get away i mean i'm just saying. So given that usually their biggest days in the year are March Madness, which is, I guess, a noted young family. August seems like a weird time for this. Yeah, it's hot. It's very hot. It's also like the hottest month, not necessarily on record, but like hottest month over the last few years, temp-wise.

Sheesh. On top of that, other positive note, out of Vegas as well. I don't know how often, I guess, what games y'all play when you go to vegas what's what's your blackjack craps poker okay table games any of you slots guys no no i don't i don't go to it i don't go to a different city so i can look at a screen so that's that's the work it seems to make their most money dude i just sit at the poker table i'm a straight shark with it. And then the slots come up to you occasionally, right? David Negron, you over here. I mean, free drinks, right?

There you go. But during a table game at the legendary Golden Nugget in downtown Las Vegas, I assume you've been to the old G-Nug. I've been to the Nug. The G-Nug. Yeah, the G-Nug, you know, a little nuggy. It's very old school. It's harder and harder to find places where you can do $5 blackjack or $5 tables.

You know, for those of us who've only stayed at the Cosmo, Will and I. Trust the Cosmo. Good luck for finding a $5 table in there. But G-Nug's a place that you can do that. They actually had somebody playing, I guess, Crazy Four poker. Won nearly $1.1 million on a progressive poker jackpot. Wow. That is a crazy game of poker.

It is quite the crazy game. I got a real flush one time playing online poker. I had three jacks. I won about $12 on the hand. Yeah, didn't you have three jacks and a pair of nines? That you could never withdraw from your offshore account by the time you were seized? No, I luckily got out. That's when Johnny doubled up.

I got out before it all got locked down. I'm i'm not i actually had three jacks but it's my husband you're sick what are you doing okay a lot doing a lot i'm not good at the table game like extra side bet but i know that's a differentiator for every casino like you can play blackjack in here they'll play plus three or whatever uh but yeah take a black or vegas trip and maybe uh more common times if only we had someone you know within the company or in currently in the studio right now who might have gotten engaged and could could use a quick trip over to to vegas to celebrate or somebody who got married and who had to cancel their bachelor party because of the ongoing global pandemic.

No, we're not doing a joint bachelor party. I already told you the one request I have is not doing a joint bachelor party. What about consecutive? If I'm doing a joint bachelor party, it better be in Denver. Okay. There you go. Oh, it's legal there. He made a weed joke.

Does he not know weed's legal in Vegas, too? Smoking weed. It's legal in Vegas, too. I actually do know that. I kind of forgot about too? Smoking weed. It's legal in Vegas, too. I actually do know that. I kind of forgot about that. Smoking herb. Dude, I always say smoke them if you got them. You always say that.

Don't you have that tattooed on your other butt cheek? Yeah. Sweet. Pull that dumper out for a player. Yeah, let's see. Show us the tat. I'll dump it out for you. Let's see that booty meet.

I really thought you were more of an adult guy. Randy, cut the cameras off real quick. No, he can blur it. That's paywall content. No, he won't blur it. He'll blur it. He'll forget. He'll be like, oh, fuck, I forgot.

Damn. You're known for saying, eat them, don't swish or sweet them. I thought that was your saying. Dylan? I don't recall saying that, KJ. Okay, okay. It was the same email. It said majority owner.

What's your problem, Dylan? It was email. We've got to wrap this thing up. I can't remember his middle initial, so I can't even pull that one off. Oh, Deege. Classic Deege over here. Yeah, DJE. Oh, he hates DJ.

Don't tell DJ Bean that, though. Bigger, badder news this week. Sorry to bring the room down, but, you know. Gotta support the squad. Do whatever BBM wants. We're cool with it. Alright, that's it. We'll see you guys tomorrow on Patreon.com slash
