That's sick. Abracadabra. We also have a major announcement right now. Major announcement right now.

Is this about Early Bird CBD? Dude. Okay. Guess who's back, back again. Shouts to our very first sponsor of Circling Back, Early Bird CBD, back in January of 2019. Not only were they our first sponsor, but they paid us in cash. They paid us in Benjamins, cold $100 bills. We were doing our first episode, and they walked in, and they were like,

I mean, can we get an ad read on this? This seems like it would do well. And we were like, yeah. And he's like, all right, here you go. Yeah, and we took one of the $100 bills with the thumbtack, and we just pinned it to the wall inside the studio. It was like our first $100 made. I think it's still in there, actually.

Dude, we got to go get that. They actually sold the house and it's under renovation. So I think we lost that $100. Dylan, do you not remember what happened to that $100 bill? I do not, David. One of us, I'm not going to say who, ripped it off the wall and rolled it up and did something with it. Yeah, didn't you leave it in a bathroom on West 6 one weekend? Come on, what are you doing?

If you guys aren't familiar with Early Bird CBD, welcome to the Early Bird CBD universe. These guys have been with us from day one, like we just said. We've worked with them a lot. We used to have the Early Bird CBD studio, and guess what? They're back. Early Bird has spent some time. They've developed their very own CBD gummy. It's a hemp product, and are you guys ready for what I'm about to tell you? This isn't your grandma's CBD gummy. It's a hemp product. And are you guys ready for what I'm about to tell you?

This isn't your grandma's CBD gummy. It could be your grandma's, and your grandma's going to be having a great time in that recliner of hers. I take one early bird CBD before I watch HBO. It's got two and a half grams of THC in it. It's got 2.5 milligrams of natural THC. And 12 and a half milligrams of CBD in each gummy. These things, I just want to be crystal clear.

These things are made for fun. These aren't for everybody. These are your feel-good CBD gummies. It's a perfect amount of, it's real THC, folks. A perfect amount of THC for just kicking back, relaxing, getting a little bit mellow after a long, hard day. I'll be honest, Bay and I took these the other night, and guess what? She loved it so much, she took one of my bottles home with her.

She just confiscated an entire bottle of the stuff and took it home. Sally and her friend took one the other night, and the next morning I woke up to a text from her friend saying, how can I invest in this company right now? This stuff is incredible. There are some different use cases for these. Some people like them to relax. Some people like to pregame with them before going out.

And some folks just like that little buzz that they get when they go hit Barton Springs, if you know what I'm saying. These guys are local. They've done all this in Austin, Texas. What it comes down to is that they formulated early birds with a micro dose of THC to make you feel great without getting lit. And yes, for those wondering, it's 100% legal and it's 100% great. Legal because it's extracted from the hemp plant, correct?

Yeah. Don't know exactly how that works, but that's why it's legal. It's just great. Like we said, these guys are based in Austin. These guys have been supporting us. We've been supporting them. And now they make a product

that I think we can all stand behind with no questions asked. Legitimately, I'm obsessed with it. For 20% off everything. Yes it. For 20% off everything. Yes, I said 20% off everything. Go to earlybirdcbd.com and use promo code STEAM at checkout. This is a single-use code. So if you're going to load up on stuff, load the cart right now.

It's a very, very great product. Because if you buy one bottle of it as like a tester, like, oh, I might want to buy some more if the stuff's good, you're not going to save another 20% on the other bottle. So load up. You're going to want to buy more, I promise you. And if I had to recommend how you should go about doing this, I would say take one to begin with when you're just sitting at home one night and see how it does for you.

TBH, one is all I need. Sometimes you might just need a half. Sometimes you need one. Sometimes you might want to put two in there. Get a little bit loose. Yeah. But if you take four all at once, you're going to be feeling something so just be careful out there again earlybirdcbd.com that's 20 off everything on earlybirdcbd.com using code steam

and like we said one and done be careful out there have fun yeah i think it's time. It's time to recap this weekend in fun. Okay. Who do we normally start with? It's usually your boy. Would you like to start with? No, go ahead. Let's hear about your weekend that no one cares about. Are you sure?

Do you want to defer for now? Well, I would like to, once again, come over the top of your 79 on the golf course. So, if you would, go ahead. I mean, I can start. Davey, would you like me to start? Start it up, bud. Your boy had a massive weekend. I started off. I spent the entire day, the entirety of my day on Friday, chilling with Fritz.

It was Fritz and Will day. And then to cap that all off off i went out to dinner with uh somebody you guys might know my wife sally as well as uh somebody else you guys might know uh boo boo mike is what dave's little whiskey girl and boo boo correct and so i went out to dinner i ate some steaming hot fajitas it was just great we were sizzling pretty hard and then i decided to go drop sally and her friend off at a heather mcmahon comedy show and i went home and uh chilled with fritz got him into bed watched a little bit that dead documentary that i've been chopping through only one episode left woke up on saturday feeling just

great feeling just wonderful went out to lions municipal golf course you guys heard of this place i have and uh for the people out there wondering yeah uh i did shoot a 79 for the first time in my entire life congratulations will that's a huge a huge accomplishment a big milestone in a young man's golf career happy for you man what was working most for you everything yeah everything uh it was it i didn't know it was in play until I wrote down our score for 17 What were you through 9? 40 Shot a 40 on the front, felt good about it

Had no actual idea that I would I didn't ever think 70 was even in play once I shot the 40 It's not often that I'm shooting low 30s or anything on a 9 And then as we started to play on the back, I was like, I was playing pretty well. And on number 17, I hit a six iron into the green to about, I don't know, 15 feet. And that shot, I didn't realize it at the time, but that shot was the shot that really

set me up to be in a really nice position. You look like you have a question, Dave. No, no, no. I'm actually now envisioning the back nine, and I've got some club selection questions that I'll try to limit, but go ahead. No, you can ask me any questions you want. What did you hit on 17T,

and what did you hit on 18T? 17, for those who've never played Lions, there's a giant oak tree in the middle of the fairway. Driver is kind of risky because you can go through the fairway. If you, driver is kind of risky because you can go through the fairway. No, you're thinking, you're thinking of 16. 17, you're right, you're right. Okay, so yeah, 16 is a hard downhill par four.

It's the one hole on the course that if I'm having a good round, I can pretty much guarantee that I'm gonna have a big number on this hole. Because if you go too far, you're in the water. If you go either side, you're blocked. You don't have a shot to the green. So if you go too far you're in the water if you go either side you're blocked you don't have a shot to the green so i went up i pulled four iron and i was going to have a short back swing that i just kind of punched out into the fairway what happened was

that i hit it very thin and it just rolled out into the middle of the fairway and so i was like okay thin it to win it we're feeling good from that point i hit another four iron into the green and i absolutely shanked it down to the bottom of the hill. And I went to, I think it was on 11, that par five, it was ugly. Oh no. And so I had a pitch shot underneath the tree that I had to do up to the green and I sculled it and it hit the side of the green and bounced in the air and then rolled to the fringe. That was what really saved me.

That's lucky. That's what really saved me. And so I got up and down from there, and that really set me up. Went to the par 3, 165 yards. I hit kind of a knockdown 6 iron. And like I said, I hit it to 15 feet, felt good, parred that. Went up to 18, which is a drivable par 4. And that's when I realized it was in play. I was like, oh, I need to par this in order to shoot 79 like this is this is important right now uh hit driver couldn't have hit it

better was 30 yards from the green there was some wind in our face and i hit a chip shot that was too short so then that's when i really started getting nervous then i hit a putt that i thought was going to go past the hole and it went about 10 or went about six feet short of the hole and when i went to go mark my ball my hand was shaking so much that i had trouble putting the ball back down oh my god i was so nervous kidding everyone else around me knew what was going on and i went up and i was like well this is this is a very important putt in the grand scheme of things you're never going to get this close anytime soon remind me how far it was again six feet okay and i my last two rounds have been 101 101 so. So even being here, I was just like.

101, 101, 79. Okay. I had the guys that were like, Will, you got this. And I was like, I almost wanted to be like, guys, shut up. Shut the fuck up. And I went up and I nailed it. Lads went wild. How stoked was Drew?

Very. But my cartner was more, his name was Matt. He was more pumped than Drew was because he was talking me through it the entire time. He was kind of getting my mentals right. So it was Matt. He was more pumped than Drew was because he was talking me through it the entire time. He was kind of getting my mentals right. Yeah. So it was big. Did not expect to do that.

Congratulations. I've got to applaud you for pulling pipe on 18. Lesser men would have said, look, it's a short par four. I just need to hit a hybrid, maybe a wood. You didn't. You pulled pipe. You stayed true to it. And look at you now. think if you're 70s guy if you looked i think my greens in regulation with my driver

uh throughout the round i think i think i went 100 or sorry not greens uh fairways hit i hit every fairway with my driver i was the driver was humming that day you pulled pipe all day and that were you man that was a celebration that was That was the high point of my weekend. I had nothing else after that that did anything for me. Will, I'm a little worried though. What does this do to your handicap? It lowered it a lot. Right now, and I think that there's a lot to be determined when it comes to my handicap, but if you went on USGA right now and looked at it, it has me at a 7.5 and that's simply not what I am. I think there's something not right within the handicap app because I think I'm much more around double that, around a 14 or 15.

So we'll see. We'll see how it all shakes out. It feels good. I'm a 70s guy now. You're a 70s guy. Dude, we're in that 70s show. Yeah. Are we going to title today's episode Wheel Shot 79?

We'll revisit that after we record and see what all we talked about what'd you do this weekend man it was the summer of 79 it's actually 69 okay really what'd you do this weekend you know i i had such a glorious weekend um have you guys uh you guys ever heard of binge watching television oh i've watched some shows it's something i've been into for a while now uh 100 foot wave anyone i know wave is 100 foot jay bones very in on that one. Yeah, he's been talking about it. A lot of people have, and I don't know why. I was thinking in the back of my head,

like, this is something I'll start one day. Then Friday night, we threw it on and went through the first four or five episodes. Dude, it's so good. It was like the perfect Sunday night show. Like, just turn the lights down, look at the absurd camera work, just big waves, 70, 80-foot monster waves on, like, a TV. It was perfect.

It was the perfect way to wind down. Those are about the size of the ones we hit in Jacksonville, if I recall. They're about 70, 80. Yeah, as a former subscriber to Surfer Magazine, I can't wait to start this. Wow. Shouts to all the reef models out there. I'm very stoked for Will to get into this.

Dylan, you probably should too. I probably will. Let me just say, who was it who wrote the body surfing column on TF tfm was probably dan it was definitely dan yeah without without having to look it up it was dan it's all i could think about uh last night because they were trying to they had this thing where they're trying to paddle in on some of them and uh i was just thinking about dan trying to body surf these 80 feet. And I was cracking up. No, but pour one out for, I don't want to spoil anything,

but let me just say, Kadi deserves better. Dude, stop, dude. I started it last night per your recommendation, and I will be going all in this week. Dude, you are going to love Kai. What, KJ's son? Not KJ's son. I already love him. too different dude professional surfer

no i'll be watching dave i'm excited uh i love anything surfing surfing driven uh and so i'm very excited to start this i'll be watching one episode a night until i'm done. One single crumb of 100 foot wave. Yes. Wow. That is correct. Very sick. Very cool. Dave, does that conclude your week? No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't. Also, I noticed there was some, uh, we, we laid that sod out front a few weeks ago. Yeah. Notice there are some spots that needed some attention. I've been watering twice a day, and some of these spots just weren't having it. So I kind of got out there and did a little hand watering,

just standing out there, hand on my hip, had my slides on, just kind of spraying it. Doing the thing with the thumb where you kind of make a mist and just kind of whack it back and forth. We all know what I'm talking about. Did you do any edging? No, no edging. I had to mow the side of the yard,

the other side of the driveway. You know those tall, skinny weeds that just kind of stand up? You mow it, and then the next day it just stands straight up. They're impossible, man. So those things are coming back with a vengeance. All in all, man, it was great.

I'm trying to think if there was anything else. Tell us everything you did over the weekend. I don't even care if it was fun or not. Just like literally. Yeah, those new shades. Are those new shades behind you, Dave? Those are beautiful. You guys are probably wondering why I'm sitting here.

The blinds. We got new blinds. We finally got them installed. Very excited to have them. They look fantastic. DM me if you want to know where we got them. Dude excited to have them they look they're fantastic dm me if you want to know where we got them dude that's sweet yeah man but i had a great weekend will uh very cool and i'm just very happy for you you're 79 dude i had lasagna for dinner last night okay can i get to

my weekend i don't know about your freaking lasagna dude it was from central market so i just microwaved it but it was a really good lasagna. Wait, did you call it Lozania? Because you went low? Maybe. That's what people should be calling it. I was kind of bummed no one threw me a party for my 79 on Saturday. I was kind of expecting to show up to Matt's El Rancho. Also, shout out to the backer

that came up to me at Matt's El Rancho. Forget your name, but you're that guy, pal. Wow, very cool. What did you order at El Rancho specifically? I actually went crazy. Because I sizzled the night before, I decided to go enchiladas. No one cares what you had at Matt's El Rancho. So I went chicken enchiladas with green sauce. And then I actually also did a little bit of a – they were out of refried black beans?

Like, what? I'm sorry. And so I ended up going charro beans with – They couldn't just refry those? I was like, dude, just take the other ones that are fried and just fry them again. Yeah, refry. Dude, what a weekend. I cannot believe you matched that Faraday button.

Can I talk about my weekend? Yeah, what did you do this weekend? We could just move on, too. We got a lot of milk crate Twitters going off right now. Friday was pretty sick, actually. I had a day with Parks. So Bay was out on the town. It was just me and Parks.

And we went and saw the Paw Patrol movie at the movie house in Eatery, kind of by my house. Sick. Good movie? Sick flick. Yeah, good times. I'm on Rotten Tomatoes right now. Just an all-time father-son evening.

It was perfect. Saturday, spent most of it with bay had a nice little steak dinner at carve carve she's your bay is your girlfriend for new listeners out there she's your girlfriend those who are unaware bay is my girlfriend name is britney but we call her bay here we had a fantastic dinner great conversation vibes were right and uh went home went to sleep and uh woke up and uh sunday morning i hit a knee well like were you was it because you were are you still having lingering effects from what you're when you dunked and you broke your knee bay became fiance bay okay i didn't know we were doing fiance bay i thought you were protesting something. No, no, no.

Yeah. It was interesting how I did it, actually. So I had all these milk crates in the garage. I'd had them for, like, months and months. I'm trying to get rid of them. Anyway. It's from your muscle. I had this idea to stack them in kind of a pyramid, and I put the ring, the engagement ring, on the very top one,

the very top level, and I had her walk up and retrieve it. It was pretty dangerous, and she ended up breaking her clavicle. That's, dude, it's worth it, though, dude. She got the rock. Yeah, yeah. No, true story, I did propose to Bae on Sunday morning, and we are engaged, and we are very, very happy. Dylan, let me be the first to congratulate you on becoming engaged.

Thank you very much, yeah. I would have to think I be the first to congratulate you on becoming engaged thank you very much yeah i would have to i would have to think i'm the first right she has yeah she's at my fiance now well i you'd think that but randy was i don't know if you saw her instagram but i was actually the first yeah so i did see her instagram but what i'm not seeing i keep refreshing on at d chevry well check out my instagram story what I'm not seeing, I keep refreshing on at D Chevery. Well, check out my Instagram story. And I'm not seeing, your Instagram story's not showing up. Must be in close friends or something. Here's what I'm doing.

I'm being a real one. I'm letting her post breathe a little bit. She had a fantastic little post. She included the first DM she ever sent me, which was pretty, pretty cool. She had to blur out a pic, though. Just kidding. She blurred out her phone number. Stop it.

That's a dangerous precedent to set. You can't be posting DMs on the ground. Her post was pretty special. It was incredible. She had a little picture of the four of us, four of us being me, her, and her daughter in parks. Were you playing scared on Sunday morning? You didn't tell us.

By the way, I want to be crystal clear. We did not know this was happening. Guess who else didn't know? Me. Oh. I didn't know. Okay, so yeah, I knew that you had a ring. I knew that something was in play.

The ring was completed and shipped to Austin the Friday we left for New Orleans. So the whole weekend, I had the anticipation of getting home and actually seeing it in person for the first time. So Monday, after we finished recording, I went to go pick it up. And so I had it for a week. Yeah, no. When did we get back from New Orleans? Was it two weeks ago? No.

Dude, come on. We got back like a week ago. A week ago. Like just a week ago. A week ago. Yeah, so I had it for six days, I guess, before I decided to propose. And I actually planned on holding off and doing it in the coming weeks. And what I wanted to do was set up a situation. Stop. Stop. Stop it, David.

I wanted to set up... Will looked at the camera. Jim Halpert, did you? Did you just Jim Halpert me? What I wanted to do is include Parks and her daughter, and then I wanted to set up a situation where we could maybe drop the kids off afterward and go celebrate with friends.

Logistically, it was going to be very challenging to pull off a lot of schedules would have had to have aligned in such a way and i didn't want to just wait until the perfect opportunity and the night before at dinner we were talking and she was like she basically said like i kind of want you to just like wake up in the morning roll over feeling like p diddy and do it and i was like okay so i woke up sund the morning, roll over. Feeling like P. Diddy? And do it. And I was like, okay. So I woke up Sunday morning, and I was so in my head. I don't think I've ever been that nervous in my entire life.

I was literally like sacking myself up to do it. And she was basically looking at me like, what's wrong with you? She couldn't figure out what was the matter with me. I was not talking very much. I was a mess. My heart was pounding. it was an absolute mess and finally i just worked up the courage i kept checking the the clock too because dallas was dropping parks off at 10 a.m oh so you had you had like a buzzer beater yeah i did

and i honestly want to do it before that happened and so did you have vomit on your sweater already base spaghetti spaghetti exactly yeah And so I started that. I had a lot of things in my head that I wanted to say, none of which actually came out in coherent sentences. I was just fumbling over every word. I was an absolute mess. But I went. I had the ring in the closet, like on the top shelf,

or she couldn't see it. Went and grabbed it. And she knew what was happening, of course. And so I hit a knee and uh they said yes ring in the closet pizza on the floor i thought how i was doing it i was like totally dropping the ball but she's like that was absolutely perfect it was very us i told you the second the second you said on friday that the ring was done i said you're gonna you're doing it soon because it's gonna burn a hole in your pocket. I did the exact same thing. I anticipated, like, first week of September, me doing this.

Around then. Labor Day-ish, something like that, you know. I couldn't wait for everything to align perfectly. I just had to do it, man. And so Parks, of course, was dropped off soon thereafter. Told him about it. Did he grasp the situation? He gets it, yeah. I tried to tell Fritz last it. Did he grasp the situation? He gets it.

I tried to tell Fritz last night, and he was just like, nah, player, I don't care. I texted Fritz. He's like, I barely even know Dylan at this point. Wow. I was like, dude, that's kind of messed up. I got to hang out with Fritz more. How did Rhodes react, Dave? Still haven't told him, honestly.

He's on a social media suspension. We had to take his phone away. Wow. Can't imagine what he got into. Yeah, to take his phone away. Wow. I can't imagine what he got into. Yeah, it was a bad deal. Dylan, I thought you were going to wait until Mercury was not in retrogrades. Is it currently in the Everglades? I don't know.

How much of that? Did you consult the crystals or anything? The vibes feel right, Dave. So, yeah, Dennis, we started to slowly tell family. FaceTime my mom and stepdad and called my sisters and all that stuff. So we told family and then decided to start texting some friends. That's why I let you guys know. Why haven't you posted from at DeShivery yet?

I already said I wanted her post to breathe a little bit. Dude, it's been breathing for like 18 hours. Just post something, for like 18 hours just post something dog i'm trying to live in this comment section i was really looking forward to my sunday entertainment last night just being in the comment section of your engagement post that's what i was looking forward to most absolutely off did they yeah i was trying to story though so the word's out i locked up when i was trying to think of a good comment and so i haven't left one yet but but I'm going to leave one at some point. You should. I just haven't done it yet. She would like that. I can also confirm that Mercury is not currently in retrograde. Very cool. Very sick. But you guys do need to be aware that on September 26th, so just over a month from now,

it will be back in retrograde. Can't wait to be super depressed then. That's great. Right in time for spooky season. It's going to be spooky and depressing. Yeah. Ooh. Hey, my favorite part. Let me make it about me for a second. My favorite part of this whole deal was afterward when I get added to a group text. And it was a bunch of numbers I didn't know.

And it was Dylan's announcing his engagement engagement and uh saying hey guys time to plan the bachelor party I just got engaged and I was like oh hell yeah and then I looked at the numbers and noticed that there was one missing and it was Will and in my head I was like I guess Will's not gonna be playing in the bachelor party and that's odd maybe it was just an oversight I had like five I texted Dylan and Dylan goes oh uh I you weren't supposed to be added to this I added the wrong the bachelor party and that's odd maybe it was just an oversight yeah like five i texted dylan and dylan goes oh uh i you weren't supposed to be added to this i added the wrong david so yeah yeah so my friend david uh mckay he's like i guess i should i haven't texted you sure it wasn't blaine yeah is david blaine going to your bachelor party yes or no i'll say that he's gonna be invited it's

on him whether he shows up can you have your bachelor party in los angeles and say that he's going to be invited. It's on him whether he shows up. Can you have your bachelor party in Los Angeles and hope that he will be there? Because I feel like we could use our connection. I can either DM him or you can just go through someone else. But if we are drinking champagne and frogs are coming out of our mouth at your bachelor party, I'm going to be so lit. Are we going to do a bachelor party for me?

I don't know. But if anyone, if anyone, and I mean anyone, pitches like, oh, why don't we do like a double bachelor party for Wilson? No, we're not doing that. We're getting two separate trips out of this. Yeah, I agree. Who would you rather have at your bachelor party, David Blaine or the mind freak himself, Chris Angel?

I'm going David Blaine all day. Me too. Can you imagine him leaving the bachelor party? Yeah, we're a little old. Imagine him levitating out of the bar to the next one. Yeah, what if you're like, hey, David, what time's your flight tomorrow? We got a couple guys that are on an early flight getting an Uber XL at like 6.30 tomorrow morning, and then he's just like, nah, it's fine.

You look out the window from the Airbnb, and there's just a bunch of balloons tied to a tree. Are you ballooned there? Yeah, he's just, peace out, dog. What if he just mashes that Dua leap of button and just floats out of the club i'd be fine with that that would be sick oh yeah well dylan congratulations thank you i've never been happier in my life really yeah really it's the day parks was born and then yesterday those are the the two oh for

a second i was like what was yesterday i was like his birthday is february 19th like you didn't propose yesterday i got confused yeah i just wanted to flex and i know his birthday randy's is actually april 9th very cool for randy just kidding it's april 5th he's back like jordan and hey for those people who are messaging us like we're not gonna do like coming week like was suggested earlier in this pod that's not not going to do like coming week like i was suggested earlier in this pod that's not going to be like the new podcast week like no we're not doing that i love i love that all of um britney's friends who listen to this segment to hear me talk about it uh this

rolls right into dave talking about coming week so that's that's special for everybody thank you for that yeah well it's like it's not me yeah's like, it's like homecoming, but instead we're not going home. We're just going to the studio to record podcasts. Okay. Yeah. Thank you for clarifying. Yeah. Studio coming week. Doesn't really, it doesn't really lodge coming. It just doesn't work. Right. Right. Yeah. Don't worry. We'll, we'll cut them a special clip and you can send it to them. Okay. Thank you. All right. So let's just ask the questions that everyone wants to know. How much exactly was the ring? Can you show us a receipt on air? Oh, gosh, I forgot. I forgot.

Will, just check our company bank account. Watch Media funded the ring. Yeah, we probably funded their pizza last night, too, to celebrate. What did you do to celebrate yesterday? Did you get to get a dinner off or anything? She just happened to bring over a bottle of June uh, June's, um, sparkling rose the night before. So I was like, it's kind of perfect that you just brought this.

How did she get her hands on that? I don't know. You can't even buy those in the store. You can't buy those. She's got, she's got people. I don't know. I've asked them before in the restaurant. Can I buy one?

I was trying to get one for Sally for Valentine's day. And they're like, no, we don't sell them. We had parks. Like I told you, wouldn't picked up her daughter, little Bay. And, uh, we went to the park and just did like a little family little outing. You know? And it was mega cute. Damn.

And we haven't properly celebrated yet. Okay. We haven't gone out. But more to come. We'll get there. More to come. Do you know what really would have helped you when you were feeling all nervous yesterday and stuff? Ooh.

You were so in your head that you probably didn't even think about this. Let me see. Is it, oh, what if I had like a relief band or something? I think a relief band would have helped you massively. If you guys aren't familiar with relief band, it's the number one FDA cleared anti-nausea wristband that has been clinically proven to quickly relieve and effectively prevent nausea and vomiting

associated with motion sickness, anxiety, Dylan. Anxiety. I get anxiety sir migraines hangovers were you hung over yesterday or on yesterday when you did it are you feeling good i felt great there you go you didn't need it morning sickness chemotherapy so much more it's 100 drug-free non-drowsy and provides all natural relief with zero side effects as long as needed dylan you brought yours to new orleans I did. How did it do you? A little savior on the way home from New Orleans, man. I get flying out, I'm totally fine.

Flying home from anywhere, every time I get pretty bad anxiety. And I get a little nosh, you know? It's probably because you're just pounding Cajun food for three days in New Orleans. It doesn't matter where I'm coming home from, man. It's always the second leg of the trip, man. It stinks. Well, luckily, ReliefBand stimulates a nerve in the wrist that travels to the part of the brain that controls nausea, and then it blocks

the signal to your brain that it's sending to your stomach telling you that you're sick. It's the only over-the-counter wearable device that's been used in hospitals and oncology clinics to treat nausea and vomiting. And if you know someone who deals with nausea, ReliefBand will make a great gift. This goes for anything, whether it's car sickness, seasickness, hangovers. I actually thought of Alyssa, Dave. I was like, I wish we had a relief

band for the gondola ride when we were in Breckenridge this past year. Yeah, this is going to be a big game changer because as someone who likes to do boating excursions and things of that nature, I can't really do them because Alyssa gets a little seasick. So, yeah, this thing is a big player. Well, welcome to Relief Band, Alyssa. It's great to have you here. As you're getting ready to take that summer road trip, hopping on a boat, or if you're just anxious about heading back to the office or school, we've got good news for you right now.

You don't want him there. We got breakers out the back right now. Party waves, man. Call me Kai. Now the segment everyone's been waiting for. Yeah. People care about your engagement, but at the same time, like, Crate Twitter went absolutely off this weekend. I can't.

If there's a video of someone doing the Crate challenge on the TL, I am 100% mashing that play button every single time. If there's a meme of it, not even someone doing it, but a meme that is of crates, I'm all in. Do you guys remember where you were when you saw your first crate crawling video? I feel like we're fairly early on this. Are we not? I don't know.

I've only seen them on the TL for like two or three days. We should have probably, I don't know, tabled this for a couple weeks from now. Yeah, fair. I think this dropped like Friday. So for those who are unaware, and if you're not on Twitter, you might not be, the crate challenge is people are stacking crates in like a pyramid shape, basically, where you take steps up, and at the top is what, like maybe seven crates high-ish,

something like that, and then you step it down on the other side. I think it's like five. Oh, is it only five? I think it's like five. Either way, it's fairly tall. And, of course, the taller the crates get, the more unstable it becomes. And people are falling and falling hard. Very hard.

The falls, when they shoot out from underneath their feet and they fall and get the wind knocked out of them because they landed directly on the crates, that's my favorite. People are, like, landing square on their back on other crates and you're getting whiplash. There's some dude broke his fall with his face, I saw. They're incredible. Dude, was it White Mike who rolled a blunt on his way up and did it in Jordans and it was the most casual thing I've ever seen? That's the best one.

Whoever said that was the most athletic feat they've ever seen, I think that's big facts. I don't know about that, but it does sound impressive. Okay, big question here. Is anyone in here going to try this at some point? I think as a company, we should try it, but I will then say that I do not want to be the person to do it. And I'm not going to I do not want to be the person to do it. And I'm not going to guilt anybody else if they don't want to do it. You know, your boy is somewhat injury prone when doing content. Yeah, yeah, you are. So I don't know if I'm the man for the job either.

All right, looks like Dave's doing it. Dave's doing the crate challenge. What do you think, Dad? Dude, Dave, you're someone crate. Hey, Alexa, play LCD sound system. No, I'm'm actually gonna do the crepe challenge me and you will you're doing that new dude if there's nutella in those things i'm gonna beat you 10 times out of 10 uh i could not be further out on trying to do something the

all i can think about when i'm watching these is like okay when they're landing on a crate they're probably at least bruising a rib, if not breaking a rib. The fact that no one has had a compound fracture on my timeline yet is a compound fracture. Cool. You thought I said compound. What? Oh my God.

The fact that that hasn't happened yet is a miracle. No, it has. I saw one dude who I wasn't sure survived. And it looked, I mean, they cut the camera off and it looked like his body was tightening up, like he was KO'd and broke his neck. Oh my gosh. There's no, you would have to pay me

quite a bit of money to try this. The falls are horrendous. What's the origin story of this? Is there one video that we can draw this all back to? And then secondly, like did when this, when that first video like took off, did everyone just like get in the group text? It's like, Hey, if you have any milk crates, go to this park right now. Cause we're going to start crawling all over these things. Where are people getting all these crates? They're selling them for like 99 cents at home Depot right now.

That was my favorite meme from the weekend. David, did you see this one? No, I did not. There's a picture of a bunch of crates that are for sale and presumably like a Walmart or something. And they're on sale for like 99 cents each. And the caption says something like, like white folks are trying to kill us or something. It's really funny.

It's pretty good. I want someone to do this, but it can't be any of us. We're too old. I can't just shoot a 79 and then go fracture something right after. That would be a tough look for me. Dylan just got engaged. He can't be doing this, given his history. Me, you know, I'm back in on baked potatoes.

I can't be doing a milk crate challenge. That would be insane. People are forgetting, Dave, that you're doing a lot of binge watching lately, and you can't do that with the injury. Wow. Dude, once I watch one, I have to watch more. Between 100-Foot Wave and Harry Potter movies, you are Mr. Binge right now.

Call me Tim the Toolman Taylor. I'm using binge for tools. There we go. There we go. There we go. I knew that I could see the wheels doing something in that head, but I didn't know what they were doing. How do you come up with that of all things? Let me tell you this.

Did you see the guy who is trying to ruin it and has made it not cool, the dude in like a CrossFit gym? He – A guy in great shape. He does it. He's like eating like a chicken dish or something, probably unseasoned. He's curling 50-pound dumbbells at the top of the pyramid. Yeah.

Just an a-hole, man. He does it. He completes it. And let me just say, yes, it's impressive, but he doesn't get it. He doesn't get the spirit of it. It's not about what he did. It made me feel very, very sad for everybody involved yeah we want to see moderate to severe injuries we don't want to see some in-shape douchebag curling on top of a crate pyramid yeah i want to

i want to i want to see some dude in like uh like an old school cowboys jersey with a weed billboard in the background. Just completely eat it. I don't know if you saw that one. I think they were doing it in a parking lot. At least do it on grass. Come on. I don't think that if you're doing this on level ground, it has to be in a park or in a yard. You can't be doing this on pavement. It has to be on grass because I think that makes it much more difficult. The wobbles start happening because the things are moving in the grass, not because people are terribly balanced. Am I right? I don't know. I mean,

a fun hypothetical would be, so let's say that the standard milk crate challenge is at the middle at its peak is six crates so what's the monetary value that you would have to do for that and then like it goes down one each time so like then five then four then three like to try it because like i mean you know i i feel like i could get away with three but four is four is where it starts to get real wobbly and i start to get very scared what's the monetary value of the the highest so okay um i'll do i'll go 100 bucks per crate over one you know what i mean sure talking 400 bucks for for five crates high. Out of all of us, if we all did it, who does the best? Probably Randy.

I don't know what helps you here. I don't know. Who's built best for this? Who's straight up? I think it's balance. See, Will, Who's straight up. I think it's balance. See, well, here's the deal.

This is Dylan is, uh, Dylan likes to mock people who do functional strength in the gym, but this is, this is their time to shine. This is where the fun, my functional people, this is what they've been training for their entire life. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah, that's true. I think we'll might sneaky be good at it. I think I'd be decent at it. I don't think I'm not ready to say that I'd be good at it. I think I'd be decent at it. I'm not ready to say that I'd be the best, but I think I'd give it a good run. You have a lower center of gravity. You've got those dad legs.

I also have really good balance. I pretty much spent my entire childhood doing those. What are they called? The boards that you have in the wheel under it? I don't know what they're called. You spent your childhood doing those oh i had one in my room i would do it all the time i lived on that thing i absolutely loved it that's cool i've got good balance hey let me just say have you seen uh

the phenomenon that developed because of course um when instead of just letting the person fall on their own uh some some random terrorist will just come up and just kick it out from under them. It's so not cool. No. These are like long falls down to the ground. Dude, they're so painful. The reason it's so good is because it looks so painful every time they fall, every single time. Someone actually did a meme of that regarding us.

It was, I think you were the guy kicking out, and it was like you ratioing me with my big news, and I was the guy at the top of the pyramid, something like that. It was pretty clever. You played this engagement well on Twitter because you didn't do a blatant post at this point, so I never had the perfect opportunity to just ratio you. And so I had to take my ratio video that I was preparing all of last night,

and I had to just straight tweet it out this morning. At Will DeFreeze, for those wondering. I also have an announcement. I have officially commented on Bay's post. Oh, that's huge. What did you say? Yeah. I said I knew yesterday was a movie, but I didn't realize it was a romance,

and then a whining face emoji. It's so ridiculous. Dude, I did it. I also enjoyed Dave's tweet last night about, there goes half of my podcast jokes. Oh, funny. Yeah, you didn't really think about how it would affect the show, did you? I'm sorry.

That was very selfish of me to get engaged. Yeah, what's your problem? I don't know, man. At least keep it a secret from us. Can you just give us a heads up? I'm sorry like we gotta we gotta volume shoot our sorority jokes before like you we can't do them anymore and now now it's just over i had to explain to her why that was a funny tweet from dave she didn't quite get it so now she knows that a lot of dave's jokes revolve around me uh and young girls for some reason. Very cool.

No comment, Dave? I didn't hear him. By the way, I forgot to say thank you for everyone who has reached out. So congratulations. Wow, it's almost like you're not thankful. I'm super thankful. A lot to get to, so if I don't respond directly to you, this is my broad thank you that I'm passing along.

I mean, I'll just ask the question. Like, are you not thankful? I'm super thankful, man. I just don't know if you are. Don't come at me like that. I think in celebration, you and Bae should each do a crate challenge and then... Fiance Bae. Fiance Bae, sorry. I think you guys should do a crate challenge and then the loser gets the lamer bachelor or bachelorette party.

Actually, we already ordered some crates at our reception. We're going to have everyone do a crate challenge. Really? Yeah. Is it true that you're having a reception on the corner of Lamar and 45th? What goes on there? Oh, Chili's? Yeah, dude.

We're flirting with the idea. Dude, let's do Chili's. Dude, are you going to rent out Matt's? Yeah, hard to say. Dude, the patio would be a movie we've been talking playing already really okay i i know it's only partially my business not completely but i think you guys need to get the uh the old school waiter from mats who wears all the gold rings uh-huh just start slinging martinis he's your official he. Knockout martini. Yeah, he's the officiant. And instead of Parks having the ring in his pocket,

he just takes it off his hand and gets it to you. Dude, man, that dude's out of control. That would be such a game changer. You'd be like, oh, where's the ring? And then suddenly he just brings it off his hand and hands it to you. This wedding is so gangster. Oh, I would love it. Yeah.

Anything else on Crate Twitter? No, I love it. Keep it going. Stay safe out there, folks. If you're out there, send us all the Crate videos you can do. Yep. We also have another sponsor this week. Are you guys familiar with Everlane?

Am I? That's a yes. Oh, that's a good one? Every day has got their own little adventures. You can be discovering a new happy hour, getting lost in a book, or you could just be going on a trip abroad right now. Who knows? You could be absolutely wiling out there.

These jeans, though. Like, come on. Dude, they look stupid good in them. You're pretty caked in them. Every time I'm about to step out, Fiance Bay wants me to put these bad boys on. I get it. I've got to stop saying Fiance Bay. It's obnoxious.

We got some news. Let's talk TV real quick. We're not talking big wave, Dave. You guys see that Succession's back in October? And Tobes? We're doing Tobes, huh? Mm-hmm. We're doing Tobes. The best month of the year just got better.

Let's go. Did we know that Succession was going to be back in October? We knew it was going to be back. I don't think we knew when. Okay. I could be wrong. I am pretty excited to see if they work in the ongoing global pandemic into the show. And what's the brother's name?

The wacky zany one that's running for office, running for president? I think he's going to have some takes. I just know him as Cameron from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Connor. That's Connor. Condog. I cannot wait. I'm very excited for it.

It's a pleasure. We won't do a one-off pod, but maybe we'll, I don't know. We'll definitely discuss it on this show. I think we'll be discussing it at the end of Monday episodes. I think that's probably a fair assumption. Do we have any idea of this season? We obviously know that we witnessed the last season ending with an all-time scene of Kendall going up and absolutely just, you know, sending his dad up a crate and then kicking it out from under him.

That's a good call. Which I still believe his dad wanted low-key to happen. He was a little proud of him for that moment. Yes, yes. But if you watch previews for the upcoming season, it would seem that they're very much at odds. So we'll see how it plays out. But I think this is the long play

for the dad. He's turning his son into a stone-cold killer right now. He's trying to harden him a little bit. Because if we've learned anything from the last two seasons, it's that Kendall can get derailed by pretty much anything at this point. And I think we're going to get killer Kendall. We needed him to strike, and he did and don't forget uh kendall kind of already is a stone cold killer or at least manslaughter right he he's he's responsible for a death yeah

correct so you know he's he's uh he's well on his way did they confront that last season are we still kind of dealing with the fallout from that i might might have to watch a couple of the episodes from the last one to get kind of caught up on how the story... Sally matched that season two episode one button the other night while I was cleaning up around the apartment, and I think I'm going to have to go all in and do a full rewatch of season two. It feels like that was three years ago.

Hey, Dave, as a resident binge boy, are you cool with me binging season two before season three comes out? Dude, I would love that i'll binge it with you because seriously stop binge watching dude i get to binge with the binge boy himself dang yeah they should have an app they should have an app called binge where you get to match with people that are binging the same thing as you it's actually uh it's actually in the works it's a dating app where you get to meet like-minded bingers. Really? Wow.

Yeah. Dude, they should make it. We should have. How did we not call the stream room the three binges? It was just us binging. The three binges? It's like the three ninjas, but it's like bingers. I think binge just plays better.

No, dude. But then people don't know we're not doing three ninjas. No one's going to think, oh, that's like a take on the Three Ninjas, which is a movie that 1% of our listeners know about. No, we did a Patreon survey and everyone said that the one thing that they had wrong with the stream room was that we weren't doing enough Three Ninjas content. They wanted more TomTom. What a movie.

Dave, can we talk briefly? Dylan didn't watch last week, but can we talk briefly about Bachelor in Paradise and get some knee jerk reactions? Him binge. I just had to get that out. Uh, yeah, we can.

I'm I, even though we're not doing the one-off, I am, I'm planning on at least watching for the next couple of weeks. Um, they have my attention and honestly, uh, are,

we have a, a, a bachelorette group text that involves Kate Catpat at The Real Catpat. And it's kind of fun. It's very low. Some nights it's dead. Some nights we toss some stuff in there. But when it's popping, it's kind of fun because it's stuff that we would, I don't know, probably say on a podcast.

But we're not really doing one. So it's fun to text it. My knee jerk reactions from the beginning of the season is that one, I did not see Serena being the toast of the town, not saying she shouldn't be. I just didn't see it happening. Two, David Spade needs to be the permanent host of every single thing that's ever bachelor moving forward. I don't want anyone but David Spade doing it. He also, he made a tiny arm joke in the first episode, which is always going to play with this kind of crew. Number three,

grocery store Joe, they just brought him in to emotionally torture him the entire season. Yeah, I don't know why they're... I don't know what they're doing with him. Joe's just getting hung out to dry right now. He got deep in his feels day one. Dylan, for who

uh kendall his ex-girlfriend no dylan no the first the first hour is is basically uh him regretting going there because he's a little bit older than everybody and he doesn't really know any of the the newer casts and like he immediately sees uh serena who he wanted to talk to like take a liking to uh brendan or something and he just he just does like the classic high school move like he just walks off and goes and lays on a daybed and takes a nap oh come on that's the first hour then he has redemption the second so i don't know i think i think they're grooming i thought at first they were grooming him to be a future bachelor uh maybe they're doing a the same thing with serena because they're they showed in the previews like his grocery store joe's ex is coming back and if he gets back with her that's gonna

make serena a good candidate for a future bachelor i don't know but i'm kind of watching and the more i'm talking about it and like i can recall this stuff I'm like why am I not just doing a pod on this I will say that the first episode of Bachelor in Paradise was such an amazing reprieve from all the other Bachelor shows we've been watching lately I'm so glad that we have this format the format is a million times better

the idea that like I don't know why this got all spoiled for me I think it's because I've been watching too much Love Island but just the idea that you have 30 people vying for one person makes no sense to me when you can go to paradise and just have everyone trying to talk to each other and mingle and they flip the script on people by bringing new folks in after matches are already made it's set up for drama like actual drama and not this bachelor crap sorry it's just so much better that's what i'm trying to say i dylan i think

you need to get in i think you need to i think you need to get in if you watch on hulu which the episode's two hours yes but if you watch on hulu it's a quick hundred or it's a quick 80 minutes just get in get out no commercials easy transitions it's just beautiful there's the my problem is there's so much excellent tv on right now and as we're about to find out from kj's breaking news a lot more to come, too. I think we actually, no, just to be clear, it's not called KJ's Breaking News. KJ, do you want to come over here and break some news for us?

Brett is out today, so we have a special guest in the studio. This is KJ Ellis. Wow, what an honor. The Too Much Dip podcast. Not sure if you guys are familiar with that one. The Mocha Clappuccino himself. Wow. Thanks for having me, fellas, and congratulations all around,

mainly to David for not being here in studio. Thanks, KJ. Can I get a congratulations for my 79? Congrats on the 79. Thank you. Ten away from being a nice score. That didn't happen for me. Oh, and, you know, thanks to Low-Key Dillon's Graham.

I think we were all, you know, pretty shocked. So if anyone out there is interested in joining the Sizzle Squad, I have a feeling we will have a new seat available. Dylan out? He's saying your days are done, honey. I see. I see what you're saying. We'll see about it.

I'm not married yet. If Bay wants to replace you in the Sizzle Squad, I'd welcome that too. You want Bay to hop on the sticks? You know, who knows? We'll see what that KD ratio is. We'll see about it. So, KJ, I noticed that instead of being called KJ's Breaking News, it's been renamed today to KJ's BBN.

Can you explain what BBN stands for? Oh, yeah, welcome to BBN. I would like everyone to, you know, stand at attention and be here for bigger, better news. Okay. I'm not sure where else you thought that might be going, but, hey, I'm all happy we're here. We got Juggalo news on the T.O.?

Could be. Thanks for trying to cut my options here. So just for that, we will not go to the soon-to-be wed man to pick our choose-your-own-adventure here. Are you taking her last name or is she taking yours? We haven't decided yet. Okay, just wondering. The band at our wedding introduced me as kj drush so all of my name plates at the office when i got back from the honeymoon were changed to her last

name they tried to change my email signature too but i wasn't doing that very sick no anyhow you swatted that out the gym david since you're not with us but you are in spirit and here on the mic i'd like you to choose between juggalo heartbreak, dachshund for Donda, or there's so much wadding. Ooh. You don't have all day. Let's do dachshund in Rwanda. I'm sorry. What'd you just say?

What did you say? Dachshund for Donda. Okay. That didn't come through. You wanted to go to Rwanda? They have a hotel there hotel i thought you said sorry i just i can't get past how huge you look next to dylan oh come on man he's in the foreground it's at an angle yeah you look like parks next to him right now i've had no granola

bars in the last like three weeks i don't appreciate it than cutting the carbs back sir goodness no your shoulders are yeah yeah white howard level okay i'm not sort of blessed i get it okay well we'll start with doxan for donda it sounds like that's what you wanted um kanye west's while and again reportedly posting a screenshot of drake's yeah i'll let one of you try drake uh drake's home address in toronto on his instagram story before deleting it shortly after uh still no word of where his album's at but apparently he's just comfortable getting in social media tips uh where do you guys stand on uh drake versus uh kanye overall oh um dave you take this first so i want kanye to be back this is this goes back to my conor mcgregor kanye comparison okay i want it to happen it's not the ship has sailed the yacht

has sailed the yacht the super yacht and it's just it's kind of at the point where it's just weird and what's going to happen is he's going to drop donda and drake's going to drop the same day i think that that's the stalemate we're in yep and it's just i don't think it's going to go well for for kanye and i don't know if you saw this. He posted a screenshot of a text conversation. With Pusha T? Yeah, to Drake, and he had added Pusha to the conversation. Of course, if you know Pusha T and Drake absolutely hate each other. And so it's very antagonistic.

This has been boiling for a while. I'd love for Kanye to do it, but Drake is just – this is Drake's time antagonistic. This has been boiling for a while. I'd love for Kanye to do it, but Drake is just, this is Drake's time. Yeah. I sent a text message to one of my best friends yesterday and I said that I'm not appreciating Drake enough

in the current scheme of everything. Like when Drake drops an album, I'm not sprinting to go listen to it and I should be. Okay. And I feel bad about it. He said some, in my opinion,

some misses lately. Yeah. Well, Fritz and I should be. Okay. And I feel bad about it. He's had some, in my opinion, some misses lately. Yeah, well, Fritz and I decided yesterday, as Drake was trending for various reasons, we decided to dip back into his catalog while Sally was out, and we were just catching a vibe on the couch together, just doing it. Yeah. Drake's misses aren't as big as Kanye's misses.

No, they're not egregious. Yeah, like it's still, when a Drake album drops, I still have to listen to it, even though my expectations are lower than they have been historically. When Kanye drops something, I'm like, eh, I'll see what people say first before I go listen to it. No, I'm listening to, the second Kanye drops, I'm listening to it immediately. For whatever reason, I'm buying the Donda hype.

I don't know why. Because I've been talking it up to you, I feel like. It's not just you. I feel like people are low-key kind of into it and i've heard like little bits and pieces here but i haven't actually gotten into it do you remember oh sorry kj i was just gonna say do you think that david's fallen on the side of uh kanye with his wallet by just shopping at the gap as an e-waste boy it It does make you wonder. Supporting the Yeezy line. Wow. I think people are not willing to forget that you're here making sure that Kanye's got enough money to take his time with this album.

Well, it's weird. I know Dave's a big e-waste guy, but at ACL a couple years ago, he told me that he never wastes any e. Okay. Come on, man. Speaking of wasting some e, let's segue to Juggalo Heartbreak.

This one will probably be near and dear to, I don't know, maybe two and a half people in this room, one of those definitely not being Dylan. ICP member Violent J announces at the Gathering of Juggalo that he's suffering from heart failure. So, you know, pour one out for Violent J, or don't because probably an asshole. He's violent. Too much Faygo. Too much Faygo Violent J. Or don't, because probably an asshole. He's violent.

Too much Faygo. Too much Faygo, for sure. Too much sugar, man. You've got to think that they've already tried to triple-X hard seltzer Faygo up, and nobody's buying it. Dylan, guess how many grams of sugar are in a single Faygo? I've got to guess. 82.

How many ounces? I don't know. 48. 71. No, Dave got it. Even by prices, right? Rules. Dave got a 49. Okay. Only 49 grams of sugar. That's probably in a 12 ounce can. Yeah, probably. Which is less, I would say than most, I think 50 to 60 is what you're looking at. But yeah, what I didn't appreciate about this, um, is that they follow that up with, Hey, by the way, I'm suffering from heart failure, so I have to retire. But we're going to go on a farewell tour next year. So I'm dying, but I'm going to get that bag one last time.

I kind of respect that. He's trying to set his homies up to just kill it. You know, probably good for Shaggy Pete. Can you go to one of their concerts dressed normally? Yeah. Or do you have to clown up? You know, i think you could go with the meta approach and be like everyone else is an outsider when they're dressing uh

everyone else looks the same when they're dressing like outsiders so you know just go in a business suit and you'll stand out okay fair enough you're like that dude from slc punk that just dresses up dave you don't know how the juggalo culture is, man. I know. I just like to turn a class up. We have an ICP concert. Waterboarding in Faygo. I knew one dude who got into ICP in like eighth grade, and I never, I always thought it was terrible. I didn't get it. It was weird. I drew the line at Rammstein.

Okay. Fair. I will say that I did own the great Malenko album at some point, um, in my life, the dating game song, it's pretty tight. They definitely were laced with way too many homophobic slurs, like, you know, which was right for the time. But I think where they lost me is when they, uh, crossways with Eminem, and as someone who probably wrote two or three papers on M&M as like a fifth to seventh grader, you weren't going to lose my allegiance being a team juggalo.

Well, people forget about them that they're a posse of clowns. That's also insane. Yeah. One other note quickly. They had their gathering of the juggalos. Guess which state's probably ripe to host the gathering of juggalos? Ohio. All 50 of them. Arkansas. They had their gathering of the juggalos. Guess which state's probably ripe to host the gathering of juggalos. Wildness. All 50 of them.

Arkansas. I won't say worse or better, but different state. I'm stumped right now. I'm trying to think. What do you got, Dave? I said Ohio, but if it's not Ohio. Oh, there you go. I didn't hear you.

I'm sorry. Ohio is correct. Okay. No. Just east of Columbus by about an hour and a half by Buckeye Lake. So you know who was there and present? One Steve-O of Jackass fame introduced ICP. Actually, we actually have him on the podcast today.

Yeah, dude. And giving a seminar on the dangers of pedophilia. Who do you think fills out this mad lib? It was a serious seminar. I'll say that. Not a Q seminar. No guesses. The one and only Chris Hansen.

Oh, are Chris Hansen? No, that's Scott Hansen. Oh, shots of Scott Hans hansen very different people i got him mixed up with the sports science guy last night so i'm glad that you know him by name so yeah chris hansen was also present at the gathering of juggalos

shout to chris and last is that is that serious uh i think they have like an offshoot like hey come sit down and listen to how terrible pedophilia is and Chris Hansen was out there Getting the bag I understand like Do we need to do a seminar Like I think Most people get it and like if they Don't then I don't think Chris Hansen

Is going to like talk them out of their Well Allow me this angle Where you know Where might you in the current state of them out of their horrible, horrible collection. Allow me this angle. Where might you in the current state of our country take your underage significant other other than the gathering of a juggalos to feel at home? And I think Chris Hansen picked the right place to go pitch to an audience. Yeah, there's no better place to really sort things out than a juggalo convention. Exactly. Unreal. an audience yeah there's no better place to to really sort things out than a juggalo convention exactly unreal all right and lastly so much wadding you guys have already mentioned that

secession season three is not secession not smoking secession but succession season three slated for october uh did you realize that Reese Witherspoon, lead actress and our lead female actor in The Morning Show is nearly a billionaire? I believe it. Didn't she just sell her company?

Yeah. If she puts her name on a book as part of her book club, you can pretty much guarantee that thing's going top of the charts. Like 900 million, I think, is what she sold her company for. We should sell this company for that.

Let's start with the price tag. I don't see if you get any bites. Think of some books. You support a long time ago. Dave, what books are you supporting? Throw your stamp on something. Oh,

geez. Uh, devil's chess board. Um, no, I'm kidding. No, I'm not.

Uh, no, I'm reading. I'm reading the Harry Potter bookster books there you go official and i think they've sold a lot based only off your recommendation this is dave's official endorsement are you binge reading them uh dude i didn't want to say anything i was going to surprise you guys but yeah i have been kind of binging the books a little bit i did tell uh will's wonderful wife sally that uh my knowledge of having read the book saved me in a business uh setting once but that story's not for air uh but yeah morning no i walk

over i walk into our kitchen the other day and i see sally looking at her phone and she's giggling and i was like what are you laughing at over there and she goes i'm just texting with kj i was like hot seat will i was like what that seat. Will. I was like, what? That's incredible. I mean, we do know that David's, you know, the original bourbon guy always said the other bourbon guy. So, you know, who knows? Let me say this. Every, every marriage has that hurdle.

Will. Season two, the morning show coming out in September, September 17th. Did everyone watch the morning show? No, I watched it. I enjoyed it.. September 17th. Did everyone watch The Morning Show? No. I watched it. I enjoyed it. I heard good things. I think it was fine.

Like, I wouldn't say, there are certain parts of it where I'm like, okay, maybe there's too many main characters going on right now. But overall, I think it's a very entertaining show. And with a company like Apple throwing their money behind it, you know it's only going to get better. You've got what? Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, Steve Carell? Steve Carell.

There's a lot of recognizable faces in it, too. Well, I may give it a shot. I will not watch season two of Sea because that lost me about 40 minutes into the first episode of that series. The one featuring Jason Momoa on Apple Plus or Apple TV. Well, there's some other HBO original programming that's been announced while we've been recording this podcast. Are you aware of this? I don't know.

A little show called Curb Your Enthusiasm. Shut up. October. Are you kidding? Not next month, but close to next month. Go off.

October's going to be a big HBO month for your boys. October's, man, coming through. Can't wait. And a spooky season. Go off.

I won't spend too much time here because it's not until December, but we did see, if you're on Twitter today, if you were not talking about Drake crates or college football being back more on too much dip, Spider-Man trailers leaked for a movie that won't be out until December. Nobody cares about that because we are all much,

much, much, much more interested in what's happening on September the 10th. And that is the release. Your girl. The one and only, and not your horse. No. Kacey Musgraves.

The original Kacey Musgraves. It's releasing her new album, Starcrossed, on September the 10th, along with the 50-minute companion documentary, which usually I would say I have no need for. But it's Kacey Musgraves. I will consume every minute. The what-panion documentary?

Exactly. Now, I'm excited. I run back her last album a lot. She's fantastic. If the sun's setting on a nice Texas drive, there ain't no album that hits like that right now. And it's golden hour. Okay. That makes sense.

That makes sense. Well, you know, i've got a soft spot in my heart and uh you know for casey so any other spots excited just real excited just so happy that she's found love again too by the way she has yeah with who uh a poet or writer of some sort so there's hope damnet's putting everybody on the hot seat. Is it Robert Frost? It is not Robert Frost. It's a guy who kind of looks like Shel Silverstein.

A poet locked her down? Yeah. Is he trying to tell me? Hey, maybe it's just a writing collab. It's all a ruse. Exactly. My ruse. Thank you, gentlemen.

This has been another episode of BBN. KJ, thank you. Thank you, KJ. I don't have the BBN. KJ, thank you. Thank you, KJ. I don't have the music for this yet. Too much dip. Very sick. Well, that was a loaded episode. It was.

Any closing thoughts? Again, congrats on your 79 and day for binge-watching television. It's very big for the squad. Dude, that episode was so loaded, it was like one of my loaded baked potatoes that I've been eating lately. What are you doing? I think with that, we get to leave.

Let's get out of here. All right. Bye. you
