Dave's on family vacay. Putting on a clinic as far as Instagram. Yeah, he's in Seaside, Florida, just doing the damn thing. And so on the front end of this episode, we've added Brett Merriman in the mix.

Hello. Good to be here. Of Cold Stove fame, of Mail and Podcast fame. Thank you, by the way, for filling in. Great episode with Will DeFreeze and Sally DeFreeze. I did what I could, Brett. It was my pleasure. The next time that we have a Close is the Pink competition,

I know that I need to bring a little bit more to the table. My wedges were on, dialed in at ACC that day. Well, Rory could probably take a couple tips from you. Oh, that's right. That's where that came from. I forgot. Yeah. Okay.

Yep. Very cool. It all kind of worked out, actually. Yeah. And some of the questions actually were very well tailored to me. So it was a good episode that we got off without Brett. Like, Brett's not going to be able to answer a question about, like, asking for someone's hand in marriage. That's teed up for your boy.

And you recorded it with Dave's little whiskey girl. I did. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Her and I have a seemingly good rapport. That's nice. I don't know how that develops but i'm happy for

you too very cool is it just me or do we have like does everyone in the studio i think besides dylan who's got a noticeable skip in his step today i feel like everyone's lagging a little bit today adam intern adam or i guess part-time adam cool adam a bomb he just he just instead of getting a some kleenex out of a box of kleenex one of the many box of kleenex in the bullpen area he lumbered over to the studio and grabbed one from randy's desk yeah no there's a box of kleenex no no more than a foot and a half from his face uh he just skipped that one entirely and uh went over to randy to get his by the way who noticed i got here early to clean the bathroom like Who does that after going macro?

I actually didn't notice that you were here and I was just confused as to who was in the bathroom, but thank you for cleaning the bathroom. Yeah. Do you actually clean it or do you just make noise in there? It's prepared for someone to just go full Mondo in there. They got a fresh... Well, we got the right person for that. Do we know why Mondo was trending?

Did we ever figure that out? There's something called Mondo Labs or something. It wasn't because you took a big dump or anything. I don't know. Yeah, there's something called Mondo that got bought, like Mondo News Network or some shit like that. And so... Someone bear hugged a Mondo company.

A Mondo company was bear hugged. I still don't know what bear hug actually means. Was it Celsius? Not the drink, the bank? No, Celsius was also trending today. And I was like, dude, did Brett do something in Montana that I'm unaware of? Do you want me to mansplain bear hugging to you just want to keep living not fully knowing what it is oh I saw I honestly don't know so you want to know yeah just tell me

I mean this is as I know I could look it up so could you actually but it's just uh when you offer a number so high uh that a company's investors just have to be like, you have to accept it, basically. You're forcing their hand by your ridiculous offer. God. Something like that. There's many ways to take over a company, Dylan. That is one of them. Yeah.

Check out the poison pill while you're at it. That's more of a diabolical one. Are you looking up the poison pill, Dylan? No, I mean, if someone wants to bear hug us, by all means, feel free. Yeah, a bear hug is an informal offer to acquire a company at a premium to the market price of its stock made public without the consent of its board. Dude, I'm in. Let's make this happen. Oh, good.

The window washers have now moved to behind me we'll power through yeah we've got a big we got a big day in the studio today we got the window washers out here just absolutely washing windows yeah those yeah those windows are getting washed is what i was gonna say we've got progress on the new studio we do have walls yes kind of it's it's look one yeah slowly step by step it's coming together the wall is not completed nor do we Yes. Well, kind of. Look, one, yeah. Slowly, step by step, it's coming together. The wall's not completed, nor do we have a door, but it's coming along. It looks good.

You guys did a good job putting that in. Thank you. Yeah. The masculine urge to just put a wall up. Should we talk about your tweet yet? No. No, we're making people wait. Which one? We're making people wait. Which one?

We're making everybody wait. Hey, do you guys have any Tony's takes from last night? Did Nicole Kidman get hit by a bike on the way to the Tony's? I don't know. What happened to her? Not only did I not watch. I can't imagine Nicole Kidman biking to the Tony's. Yeah, she's just Lance Armstrong-ing out there. Just pulling up to the Tonys on a Huffy.

I just don't see that happening. She got hit by a bike in New York. I like a good award show on a Sunday night, and seeing that it's the Tonys just kind of takes some wind out of my sails. Yeah, I didn't even know the Tonys were on. Actually, not until I got to the studio this morning did I know that they were last night. Damn. I was too busy watching a Texas baseball game that started, was like 10 hours long so you made it to the college world series dylan i didn't i don't play i used to texas did though as did the rebs how many teams are in the college world series

ocho see that's confusing because like in the normal world series there's only two teams that go there sure this is a tournament okay little league world series was like 32 yeah the little league world series always kind of it always caught my attention at the right time because there was literally nothing else i had to stop watching for like a good three years after we didn't make it i was gonna say you have you have the vibe of a guy who always like could say like yeah no i should have been in the college world series i would have i would have i would have thrown no little league world series little I would have thrown no hitter. Little league world series.

Little league world series. That's what I meant. Sorry. I used to love, remember, you know how they do the pitch equivalent when a kid throwing like, he's throwing like 74, 75. No kids are throwing 74, 75. Yes, they are, Dylan. You had a kid from Southwest Texas with curly hair. That's big little league world series gassing their numbers up, trying to make them look

better than they are. They're not throwing mid 70s. Yes, they are. And also, don't tell me the equivalent of what it would be if they were major league pitcher like you're you're throwing what you're throwing you're throwing 60 miles an hour they do it shorter he's shorter his reaction don't care yeah don't care so he doesn't care it's not 75 dude big little league world series is in your brain right now maybe danny almonte because he was 19 you're a pop out for them man what if what a story what are you what he's up to they definitely did a 30 for 30 on danny almonte right

i don't know is it almonte or almonte i'm i'm i'm a person that does this all the time but i'm tired of the narrative of like oh i can't wait for the 30 for 30 on this i say that way too often and it's like anytime anything sports comes up like oh dude dude 30 for 30 just wait dude the 30 for 30 on this is gonna be so fucking wait 30 just wait dude the 30 for 30 on this is gonna be so fucking wait a few years dude the 30 for 30 on this live tour stuff is gonna be so fucking crazy he's uh 33 now wow and playing high school uh excuse me coaching high school baseball in new york city okay if he was playing high school baseball that would be absolutely egregious that's egregious have you guys watched uh hustle

on netflix starring adam sandler they had a little bobon uh no appearance no but um it looks intriguing have you you don't watch it i watched it on the flight to to la and i really enjoyed it it wasn't like i don't want to see it again by any means and i don't think it's like a notable noticeably like awesome movie but in terms of don't think it's a noticeably awesome movie, but in terms of a basketball movie, it's a really good basketball movie. I enjoyed it. There's a lot of NBA players in it.

All the actual scenes of basketball are pretty good. What are your other top basketball movies? The Air Up There. Big fan. Coach Carter obviously goes hard all the time best basketball movie ever was uh blue chips white men can't jump also good white man can't jump was a fantastic movie yeah i mean there's a lot of good basketball loving basketball that was never like high on my list mainly because the girl that i had a crush on in high school was obsessed with it because she was dating the star

basketball player but air bud another classic did you yeah dude i like i like tossing some bud in the air i was that dog was so good i don't understand how a dog can make the team yeah maybe i should just watch the movie and talk about bar certificates let me see that let's see that dogs he had that bud had that dog let's see his transcripts he did fine in school. He's a smart dog. You don't know how much time is left on the clock. Bud actually, he was, yeah, but he doesn't register the time because he's in dog years. The shot clock is like.

Everything moves seven times faster. Yeah. Yeah. And Bud's like, yeah, see, he was just getting shots off real early in the possession. He's like, hey, dude, we have 24 seconds. He runs a hurry-up offense constantly. Whatever his shot clock is at that age, I don't know.

30-something. I heard his owners actually had to move, and they bought a place in a different district, but they kept a mailbox in the other district so that he could play for the team. Really? Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Damn. Yeah, dude, it's kind of crazy. His teammates are looking for the pass. They're just like, drop it. Drop it. Drop it. Drop it. Drop it.

Dylan, what'd you get into this weekend, my man? Thanks for asking. It was a lovely weekend.

Big family weekend. As Brittany and I both had the kids. You had a kid this weekend. I did not have a kid. Oh, my kid was with me all weekend. Friday night, we went and saw Jurassic World. Oh, how was it? Oh, no. It was good. It was it oh no it was good it was pretty good

okay it was okay it was good it was fine um it was better than the second jurassic world not as good as the first jurassic world okay okay we'll take that so um it was it was fine but most importantly parks had a great time he really liked it and as i was sitting in the theater as i ordered some food and i was kind of waiting for the the previews to start i fired off a tweet would you get some hummus no i fired off a tweet felt good about it we'll talk about later um got pizza wait so you hold on you were tweeting from alamo draft house House. Before they said, like, if you are not quiet, we will kill you. I'm going to check the timestamp of your tweet, and I'm going to check the time that you went to the movie,

because if I need to turn you into Alamo to get you banned for life, I will do that. They play a little video on the screen. Jeff Goldblum was in the video, and it said, if you talk during the movie or you're on your phone, we will sick a velociraptor after you. Did anyone have a velocociraptor? That'd be freaky if someone was actually texting in the theater.

I'm pretty sure that nobody was eaten by a Velociraptor in the theater. Who's the guy that keeps him on call? He's the guy that holds him just in case. Chris Pratt, I guess. Yeah, his name's Owen, I think. Owen. Yeah. He's just a high school kid who's like, I'll take care of the Velociraptor at Alamo Draft House.

It's a tough summer job if that's your last option. It's like, oh, fuck. I'm really putting my life in danger right now by guarding this Velociraptor at Alamo Draft House on South Amore. The movie was okay. I wish there were better reviews for these Jurassic World movies. Yeah. The storyline was kind of all over the place.

Acting wasn't that great. But, you know, we had a good time. I just kind of liked it when they're at the park. They don't need to be all over the world. Yeah. The park had a cool vibe. Yeah. Did they hit the What Are Those song?

Yeah. Ooh. What are those? Wow. It's getting worse than Jurassic World 2. Not a good audience score, though. That's okay. If the audience score is high, then we're good at that.

It's also your chaser movie for seeing Top Gun. No movie wants to follow up Top Gun in theaters. Just that one scene. Can't get over the soundtrack. So Saturday. You got to get over it. Saturday, just a family day. Not a ton happened really i had a very proud dad moment that

i will probably speak about i'm not probably i will speak about when we do the dad pod next week okay very proud dad moment do you dunk no he he stood up for his stepsister oh hell yeah and it was like it made me a little emosh hell yeah yeah it was very cool that's what's up very cool it's parsman um sunday i watched some some college baseball uh parks had a big day at a birthday party and it was just another just chill family day kids had a good weekend and when the kids have a good weekend, the parents have a good weekend. So it was just a good weekend. Were you checking your phone constantly?

I was checking my phone nonstop. Yeah. A lot of dragging down Twitter to refresh. Lots of that. What's your screen time looking like for the weekend? I don't want to know. But it's probably high. What's your average screen time?

Probably a lot of time spent on Twitter. I don't know. I haven't looked in a long time. You don't get the noties every Sunday that make you feel really bad about yourself? I don't know. know, but it's probably high. What's your average screen time? Probably a lot of time spent on Twitter. I don't know. I haven't looked in a long time. You don't get the noties every Sunday that make you feel really bad about yourself? I don't know. I turn that off. And then you multiply the number by seven and you're like, oh my God, I spent more than a day on my phone this week.

Yeah. It's really depressing. That'll do it. Brett couldn't have any screen time this weekend because Brett was in Whitefish, Montana. Nope. I was off the grid. That must be nice. It was, I don't feel this about a lot of places that I leave, like on the flight back. I wanted to stay.

I was like, you shouldn't. I had this weird emotion when we were taking off, like taxiing to the runway. I was like, I don't want to leave right now. It's Montana for you, dude. It was the most picturesque place that I've been in a long, long time. We've done Park City. We've done Tahoe, Mammoth, Denver, a lot of traditionally beautiful towns. This was something I've never experienced before.

I got there Wednesday. Like, I went up, I got there Wednesday. And to all of you who have sent recommendations, a lot of absolutely awesome spots there. Started off at Craggy Range. They have an ice... Craggy Range. Craggy Range. They have an ice bar, Will, that basically looks like a snowbank

that you put your beers in at the bar. Oh, now we're cooking. It was unbelievable. You love to see that. The dinner at Jalisco Cantina. yeah i was gonna ask what's on what's on the brett merriman short list of whitefish montana uh you got to do the whitefish lodge tiki bar which is literally sitting on the lake why why i'm i'm not opposed to a like a you know a surprise tiki bar but is it weird that i'm surprised that they have tiki bars in Whitefish, Montana? It's a very small operation, but it's attached.

I like small operations when it comes to my tiki bars. It's attached to the Whitefish Lodge, like the Boat Club restaurant. Also really good. We did Huckleberry glazed elk meatballs.

Huckleberry glazed elk meatballs. Huckleberry barbecue glazed elk meatballs. I'll be here, Huckleberry. Huckleberry everywhere up there. Apparently, it's a Huckleberry thing.

Huckleberry. Huckleberry. They're just leaning into that tombstone. Yeah, I couldn't identify here huckleberry huckleberry everywhere up there apparently it's a huckleberry thing they're just leaning into that tombstone yeah i couldn't identify a huckleberry if i saw one no uh thursday we did or i did because my buddy's flight got super delayed so he missed his connection slept in minneapolis shouts to matt anyway i drove to glacier national park thursday dylan you familiar with this there are glaciers glaciers there? They do. They do. That makes sense. Okay. What happened? That was, I've never seen a mountain so, so like majestic, like take your breath away

kind of moment. I was like, holy fuck, this is, we don't have these back east. No. No. No. Nor in like the Rockies even have you ever skied

Killington by the way yeah okay maybe if you're a Killington fan out there maybe listen to tomorrow's worst stuff episode on Patreon

they go to the is it the pickle lounge or something like that no no this is this is not a drunk story that is the Rockies though no

Killington is no no no yeah yeah yeah technically it is the Rockies you said they don't have mountains like this in the rock i meant i meant more like denver denver they call it god's country for a reason it was it was beautiful it was incredible to see like naturally carved out glacier valleys the big like u-shaped with mountains on either side you know unbelievable it makes you wonder why people live in places like this yeah it was 63 degrees the

whole million degrees and flat yeah i wonder that every time every day i wake up i wonder what the fuck how the fuck i ended up here what's going on like i used to live in this like small town on the lake in michigan and then now i live in this like sprawling metropolis that we can't afford it sucks it's very expensive too yeah it was it had me looking like by thursday afternoon i was like checking zillow like what's a condo here, buddy? Let's get a condo. It's prohibitive. What about a taxi?

Well, Thursday night, we do this bar. Great Northern. It is this Western dive live music. Picture Don's Depot and Deep Eddie just combined. And these two people were shredding. This older gentleman was playing Bob Segerwill. He was playing Fleetwood Mac. He was playing the Chicks, formerly the Dixie Chicks.

Ganch the wind. It's kind of like that, but he was better. Ganch the wind. And then Friday through Sunday, we were up at this ranch just crushing local montana bourbon uh taking in the views and enjoying a wedding i don't know if you can technically call it bourbon if it's from montana they literally ship it from kentucky and there you go there you go dude brett just dunked on you no i i'm glad you mentioned i kind of gave him an alley-oop if you look at it differently if you don't look at it like opposing people we're on the same team here did you know

will just thought i was on vacation with like one of my boys dude i thought when brett when you posted wedding pics i legit thought you made it might have crashed a wedding i was like oh shit brett one of my best friends i didn't i didn't really realize it either i thought you were just having a boys trip up there and then yeah the wedding pic showed up on the tl and i was like oh brett had a reason to be out of town i gotta be honest road dog life is fits your boy i'm jealous it was fun i'm jealous rbs are they're a motherfucker i haven't done a roadie in so long man they're a motherfucker you gotta be careful with those like they break constantly and you just have to be like macgyver with everything okay but man good week i did not want to leave i would be uh lying if i said i'm not going back

to whitefish montana because oh my god what a cool town cool downtown incredible scenery um lakes all over the place you can ski there there's a big resort one more i don't what more can i say well let's go there i'm a whitefish guy let's do it and it's like you can you can ball out if you want to. It's like a really nice – we did a nice Italian meal. Ah, bende. Your boy – I went to LA this weekend. Where?

LA? I went there for about – if I had to guess the actual total amount of hours that I was in Los Angeles for, it was about exactly 24 hours. Never done this before. You got in and you got out. I've never flown in somewhere and just been there for 24 hours and i have to say i very much enjoyed it um yeah we pulled in we went to this place called the cara hotel for a little brunch action as if we were told it was very nice and our friend wanted to go there so we we went and uh enjoyed

our time there uh quickly made it to the hotel got our stuff dropped down had a quick cocktail and then we hit the town for for the evening did you go right to concert situation or was it more of like a ease into it with some some happy hour drink we did a little we did a little a couple happy hour drinks but we kind of didn't give ourselves enough time to get there and so i'd never been to dodger stadium unbelievable stadium where the dodgers play yeah right yeah that's facts chavez ravine uh unbelievable stadium really cool place i i don't know in classic la fashion i think a lot of people were late for the show uh they were doing a thing before the show where everybody was just getting in a line and i'm pretty sure you didn't need to

get in a line to get in but like it was just a bunch of like stone deadheads just kind of following each other and just getting in lines it's's like that kindergarten soccer. Yeah. Once we realized that we didn't need to be standing in a line, we were like, oh, we can just walk over to this entrance and just walk right in. And like, it was, it was just hilarious. But I've never been to a concert or, or event where everybody is so happy to be with each other, even if they don't know you. I met this dude and I started and he started talking to us during the intermission. And he was just like, well, he initially hit me up for some hard drugs. And I told him I did not have any hard drugs on me.

What did he ask for specifically? They were playing Casey Jones, which famously has the line, riding that train high on cocaine. And he looked back at me and he said, be pretty cool if you had some cocaine on you right now. And I was like, well, I don't, buddy. Sorry. And so I'm glad I now. And I was like, well, I don't, buddy. Sorry. And so I'm glad I didn't look like a narc, though, because if someone's asking me, that means I at least look cool enough to like have it.

And so then to close the conversation on intermission, he just goes, well, hey, man, I really hope that we run into each other again at a show. You're probably not going to. Yeah. I was like, dude, I just don't know if that's going to happen. But yeah. I live in Texas and, you know, I don't go to many of these. Yeah, he goes to all of them. Yeah.

Yeah, so that was cool. But yeah, it's kind of, they blew my socks off. I'm glad that I went and made it happen. It's an aggressive move to fly to a different city to go to a concert. I wonder how many times he's asked for cocaine at a Dead concert. Probably a lot.

Yeah. Probably a lot, yeah. He just needs to bring his own coke. How was JM? Was he shredding? He was shredding. He was shredding. I saw some complaints online probably a lot yeah probably a lot yeah he needs to bring his own coke i was uh how's jm was he shredding he was shredding he was shredding i saw some complaints on uh online about how they were playing too slow yeah not too slow for me i was very much enjoying every part of the show uh and then we went to a little place called little doms after and had some martinis with some other friends that we were uh seeing in town so we we closed the night out with a little martini action a little uh

pasta and yeah it was a beautiful trip got in got out everything went right everything went right beautiful trip huh what a long strange trip it was yeah that's that's another that's another pcp while you're there i didn't do any pcp i don't to be honest i don't even know what pcp is or how you would even do it i think it's pretty aggressive though so should we do it no oh okay certainly you didn't say it was bad i i think it's i think it's very bad yeah uh one fella at the wedding had uh a lot of shrooms and ended up um dancing with the uh with the lead singer of the this is not me by the way with the lead singer of the wedding very good no no shrooms for

me no shrooms for me i will say that i've never seen that many joints uh get busted out is when they started playing the first song every single person just busted joints out and was just going there was a pregnant woman there no uh no i didn't i didn't partake with anybody uh just because like you know monkey pox and stuff you just did shrooms in, I was just doing my PCP and my shrooms and my other stuff. Wow. Yeah, so I kind of kept it chill. Okay. No, there was a pregnant lady that was at the show.

And she looked like, this wasn't like some raggedy looking pregnant woman. This looked like, you know, this looked like a guy. Like her husband looked like a guy who'd probably been going to jam band shows for a long time on his trust fund. And they definitely wanted to go to the LA show. And she was pregnant.

nothing like this nothing like this so this is your this is your biggest tweet of all time oh yeah by like probably like four or five x yeah really do you know what your other previous uh top performer was um i've done five digits before but never never 20k on the on the rts teens i was in the teens so you actually did this before you saw the movie okay i'll tell the whole story okay um by the way what i said like the tweet is true it happened so parks are you sure this isn't a ruth condis situation? If you're new here, Parks is my seven-year-old son. And he recently learned the Deez Nuts jokes, and he loves them. Yeah.

We went swimming. I didn't mention this. We went swimming Friday afternoon right after I picked him up from camp. And he was in a great mood, you know, just some father-son time. And we were just swimming up a storm. He was having a big time and he was like hey did you hear about uh Dee's nuts I was like what did you really just say Dee's nuts he's like yeah and then he just like he was cackling when he said it and he just

kept coming at me with joke after joke Dee's nuts Dee He'd be like, hey, I'm going to go over here real quick. And I'll go, yeah? He'd be like, D's nuts. Like, okay. He just wouldn't stop. So finally, after about an hour of swimming and after about his 200th D's nuts jokes, I'm like, dude, tell me where you told, like, where did you hear this joke? Who told you this? He's like, he does this thing with me. He always, like, he's done in the past all right but am i

gonna be in trouble if i tell you a legit question yeah he's a good he's a good lawyer yeah and i i always say like no if you're honest with me did he want dave present before he spoke to you like if you're honest with me like we have kind of a rule it's a binding contract if you're up front with me about self i'm not gonna be mad at you about it. So I was like, okay, I won't be mad at you, I promise. And he leans in. I swear to God. He goes, he's nuts. Like, what?

And I freaking lost it. I really did. And you notice how funny I felt. You lost it laughing, right? Yeah. Okay, yeah. I mean, I don't understand how you couldn't. And again, he's seven years old he's seven years old can you clarify for the people out there who are

new to you in your twitter account in our podcast so your son is not named seven no no no my son is not named seven i did like that reply his name is parks and he's seven years old he's uh going into second grade next year but seeing my reaction to him like make a legitimately hilarious joke like that the rest of the night he was just it was just d's nuts and i was i was firing back i was giving some d's nuts jokes too i was like hey man these jokes are really funny but you can't say them around britney you definitely can't say them around low bay because she's too young and she's gonna have questions and it's gonna be a a whole deal. So they're inappropriate. He's definitely doing them around everybody. Keep them between us, right? So he says this joke at the pool.

And we had tickets to go see Jurassic World later that night. And we did. It was a 7 o'clock start time. And we got there and I was like, the whole time I was like, okay, there's a funny tweet in here. I know there is. So I was thinking about it. I was like, I could tell the full story,

but that'd be broken up into like numerous tweets but i don't and that's too much it's no one's gonna no one's gonna share like numerous like a tweet thread basically and so i spent some time crafting it and i condensed it down to you know under 280 characters and usually when i tweet about parks it always does it always gets a lot of likes i mean like it's normal for me to just tweet something yeah kids do numbers something cute about him it'll get like five six hundred likes so kid content plays for me i knew that uh but this one the perfect storm was setting i knew this one was like extremely shareable people love that kind of stuff

people people just like these nuts you're saying you're you you were putting out like a viral watch before this was even i knew that it i knew that it had the most potential of any tweet i had done in a while i didn't think it would do what it did well yeah and a lot of your tweets like i mean and you've confronted this too a lot of your tweets lately have just been so shitty i've been pretty mid i've been pretty mid on twitter lately but no so i had a good. But when I say good idea that it would do well, I'm thinking it would get liked. 1,200 likes. 1,200 likes.

40 reeks tweets. 1,200 likes. Like, yeah. An objectively good tweet. So I'm in the theater. A random Pete Blackburn tweet. A throwaway Pete tweet. Yeah.

An intermission tweet during the second round of the playoffs from Pete Blackburn. Yeah, exactly. He does numbers. He does. So I'm sitting there in the theater, and we actually went with Parks' mother and her boyfriend, Matt. And I think he heard Dee's nuts from them, or maybe it was Matt. So I lean over him across Parks.

I said, by the way, Parks has been saying Dee's nuts all day, and he says that he heard it from you guys. Is that true? I wasn't mad. I thought it was hilarious. And they were like, yeah yeah maybe it was us you know um i was like okay well it's really funny and that's when i i pulled out the phone i was like all right i got it i'm gonna tweet it and i think a minute after i tweeted it like lights go down and then do you check the time stamp by the way lights go down in the theater no 6 52 p.m there it is wow there you go let's go down the theater and they start playing previews and all that but i check it my check my phone one time in like a minute after and it already had

like triple digit likes dude i looked at your phone i looked at the tweet and i think i liked it within like five minutes yeah and i was the 160th person and when i I was like, oh, this tweet must have been up for a while. And I looked at it. I was like, oh, he tweeted this nine minutes ago. I think like seconds after, I mean, seconds after I tweeted it, it had like 28 likes. I was just like, okay. Dylan's setting himself up real nicely here. And so I lock my phone.

You know, I turn it over. I don't even think about it the rest of the movie. I truly don't. You thought about it the entire movie? I really didn't. You're like, I'm doing, I'm stacking numbers. but on the way out i you know i pull it out like oh it's got a little momentum to it but still it was only at like probably 40 to 70 something retweets something like that but it had you know high triple digit likes i was like this is going

to do pretty well i'm pretty sure of it. Went to bed. It was, it wasn't at a thousand yet, but it was in the hundreds of retweets, I think, when I went to bed. Maybe like less than 300. I got up real early the next morning

and I was like, oh, Dylan's going viral right now. Yeah. I got up, it hit a jet stream Saturday morning. It wasn't supersonic yet,

but it hit a jet stream. And I texted you guys. I said, I'm on Viral Watch. And I had like 2,000 retweets. Yeah, and what did I immediately respond? You said, you're viral, bitch. Yeah. Something like that.

Yeah. I don't remember using the word bitch, but I think you're right. I think I did. I'm sorry. I think you called me a bitch, which is fair. Can I ask you some questions

regarding this tweet? Yeah. Okay. First and foremost, because Brett and I, Brett and I have worked both working in media for a decent amount of time now can you pull up the analytics behind beyond behind this tweet does brett know do you know how many impressions this tweet has done no i have no i have no idea either okay i think we should guess how many by the way let's just just for all the folks that there, currently, 52,500 retweets, 5,600 quote tweets, and 634,000 likes. 634,000.

That's like President Obama shit. Yes. Quote tweeted by Snoop Dogg. That's part of my – I have questions too. So big rap fan growing up in the 90s. I was a huge Snoop Dogg guy. So that was – I'm like picturing Snoop Dogg reading my tweet and being like, that's fucking funny. You think he sent it to Martha Stewart?

That's fucking funny. Do you think he texted Martha and was like, dude, this is a good tweet? That was a moment for me. I don't know. Probably not. Oh, OK. Probably not. What are the analytics?

Should we guess? Should we guess? Oh, what the what the impressions were? Yeah. Yeah. I don't have any idea. I don't know where to start. See, it's so hard.

It's tough with viral tweets. I'm going to guess like 40 million. See, I was going to go 30 million, but I was worried 30 was going to be too hot. You're talking impressions. And for the folks at home, what's an impression? That's just someone sees the tweet. The tweet has scrolled across their feed like let me give you an example here i had a tweet oh man what'd you guess again 140 40 oh 40 million

what well i think i must have deleted it. But like, for example, a typical circling back tweet, episode, it does like 10K plus impressions. Yeah. How many impressions do you do? 25 million. Okay. 30 million, top that off. Yeah. 25 million.

2 million engagements. 1 million detail expands. Oh, gosh. So just click to open up the tweet, right? Mm-hmm. 91,767 profile visits whoa jesus yeah this number this number is inaccurate it says 66 new followers that's not true that's just from like directly from that yeah you can't you can't take those numbers seriously real number i gained about

700 followers over the weekend so you undid what you've done for the last like year yeah it's good but i think when i start tweeting about like my normal tweeting which is no no mostly people are gonna lap this up mostly promoting our podcast people like why am i following this idiot who had one funny tweet part of the reason i knew this was like you already can tell by the numbers that it's like big this is a big number thing yeah but when when you have like thousands of likes on your follow-up tweet promoting your podcast that means that you're doing like that means you're doing good numbers some some funny uh yeah that that tweet somehow did decent yeah okay but a lot of people replied to it being like oh dude you

ruined it like you did like and then i said i used some reverse psychology in the follow tweets and please do not listen to the podcast link to it and people like don't worry i won't like okay okay buddy that's okay i get it no no harm no foul do you your verified um notifications i yes i have but it i mean it's a mess like my it's a mess okay so that was my next question when it came to people reposting it obviously snoop dog was the one that is kind of like yeah that's pretty cool was there anyone else under the radar who we didn't like who was a funny person that might have reposted this so the you also got shithead steved if you click verified it just it just has it's not friendly in the way it lists all the names because it's just like a little they're little avi's right okay you have to like actually click through to see and there are there are hundreds and hundreds

if not thousands of verified accounts who liked it so it's it's almost like what has buzzfeed written article about you it's like your tweet yeah i would never know dude i saw jojo fletcher repost it and she said wow i would love a daddy like this oh wow i got that dj bean reply though that's a verified account shouts to dj so i mean the verifieds it's it's it's almost like I can't even go through all of them. There are so many. Good thing we have interns. Yeah, and then shitheadsteve on Instagram. Did you send it to him? Just be honest.

No, I didn't. I heard you sent him the tweet. And you're like, hey, can you please repost this? It took me an hour and a half to realize Snoop Dogg had quote tweeted me. That's how busy my mentions were. Like, I had no idea. People had to tell me. I've only had a couple of tweets go off and never in the capacity that yours did.

And it's addicting scrolling and just seeing it update and stuff. But then like after 24 hours, it almost gets exhausting. You're like, I need to mute this because otherwise I'm just like looking at it. As of like late last night, early this morning,

it finally like slowed down. I mean, it was like, it was going so fast. Twitter turned off the juice. Now the retweets are just like trickling in at this point oh man yeah i've stalled i'm sorry dude are you now you now are you you're i'm worried about you because now you're going to be chasing that yeah hi no viral shithead steve like i said seven over seven million followers on instagram he posted it's He tagged me in it, which was nice. Is Parks aware of what happened?

He doesn't understand the gravity of it, but I have explained it to him. It was also really nice for the Instagram account, Openly Gay Aliens to share my tweet. That's a good account to share. Dude, I don't know if I still follow them, but yeah, I was a big fan of Openly Gay Aliens for a long time. Hopefully closeted gay aliens. It's aliens that are openly gay yeah obviously yeah obviously um but what a wild

ride that was oh my god it was i was like glued to my phone just watching this it's addicting it's sad how we we put it up on uh the circling back instagram at like 20 something thousand retweets yeah you like called me out as if i was supposed to be tracking and updating the instagram with what it did i was just trying to build a little build a little hype for it but my goodness god yeah i've never seen anything i put up that i put up that instagram thinking i'm throwing dylan a a nice little bone there and suddenly i just get dylan in the mentions just tossing booty chatter at me parks deserves all the credit here yeah dude honestly some people are saying that like you don't deserve any credit i put the time together because he doesn't have twitter yet he's seven but credit

to him man he made a very very funny joke and for a seven-year-old to make that joke is why it was so funny and so relatable parents loved it i mean people who have like kids that have gone through phases like that where they say inappropriate they're the ones that are like leaving the most replies like oh my god this sounds like my son i really enjoyed that you just jerry parks yeah you stole content from your son i did thank you parks that's my guy man that's messed up that's my guy well anybody offer uh like products for you to sell in your in your yeah do you have any vibrator companies reach out to you maybe i just haven't seen i don't know do you have any dms from

like those like weird room lights that like make your room look like you're an alien no what the hell is that i don't know no nothing like that why don't you just put a link to something like random under there and be like and just make people think that you got sponsored so they think that you're open to getting sponsored for this tweet what we need to do is make a deez nuts shirt and then i'll link i'll put a link under the tweet to it let's just print a tweet i think we have the shirt we do didn't we have this is so stupid i'm sorry we had didn't we have in one meeting we're like hey if we ever go viral we're gonna frame these and put them on the wall yeah we should we should frame we should frame your tweet we should get it framed i've been on twitter for 11 years this is nothing like this

even close to happen this is the last time it's gonna happen were you at any point scared that big defrizi was going to come in and ratio your ass that that would have been a monumental achievement so no it was kind of a bummer that once it, because when it finally took off, I'm really bummed that I didn't have my computer in front of me because I would have liked to make some graphics for a video underneath it

because I was just going to make some stupid video that obviously would never have ratioed you. But I wasn't at my full, I didn't have my full content arsenal in front of me in order to maximize a response. And that kind of bummed me out for a little bit. So I just decided to repeat. No, that was never a worry of mine.

But you know what? We know when something like this gets so much attention, you're going to have the majority of people like, oh, this is so funny. But you always get just a small portion of people that are – you find something to just bitch about or to say like, oh, you're exposing your son or whatever. I only saw one comment like that that's because parents don't care one comment it was some some karen was like oh you know he's probably going to school and and saying this to girls like he's nuts like lady you

don't know anything you don't know anything about myself like and to that lady what mad like you're set on the back of a high school bus before yeah like the most inappropriate shit happens when yeah oh gosh there's just one comment like that not not so bad but dude you're you're on your follow-ups now have to be big time yeah yeah it's kind of like on tiktok like if you have a viral tiktok like your next one's pretty much guaranteed to be like really high numbers like not you you just start following no that's not true dude it's true you got the whole twitter street like you were the main character on twitter for a day and you didn't do something yeah in a good way yeah that doesn't happen yeah the fact that you're not like yeah it's i'm glad that you did something like entertaining and wholesome as opposed to just

getting canceled yeah on saturday night i went to bed i got like 9 000 retweets while i was sleeping and that to me was like the sign of like this is going really crazy because i mean shit dies down and i mean obviously there are other parts of the country that are just like just waking up call you mr worldwide do you think rudra durn would be proud of you yeah he may he may have sent me something i haven't seen it yet because i got so many replies we need to to get that Go Viral Today sign from Grand X. Do you think that was in some estate sale that we could access? It's an estate sale.

They're liquidating their assets and we can go get the Go Viral Today sign? Who's got the Grand X neon? Dude, we need to get some of the old shit. I don't know. At Grand X, every day you walked in and you're like, we got to go viral today. We don't do that here. We got to go viral more.

We got to get the sign. One. He's going to be over there. I'm going to I'm going to see his computer. He's going to be like typing out tweets and then deleting my back. I'm going to start responding to every one of your tweets from here on out being like, nah, I don't see this one going macro. Now, this one doesn't have the legs.

I think the form of like the my son seven format is good. Like you. You've had a couple of them. It's the second time I've used it. Yeah. So this is on Twitter, something that kind of annoys me. And I do this with you and Dave because I assume that if you follow me, you follow Dave and Dylan and you know who I'm talking about. So I don't at mention you all the time.

You know what I mean? I get kind of tired of that when people do that, especially when like we don't know who they're talking about. It's like, oh, you're just talking about some random dude named like Gerald. Yeah. Like, cool. we don't know who they're talking about it's like are you just talking about some random dude named like gerald yeah like cool do you ever do you ever think like that that tweet doesn't do the numbers that it would do if you said parks right saying my son seven that is the smartest thing you did for this entire tweet intentional very intentional dude look at you if it's gonna it's like you do this for a living if it's gonna go crazy it's gotta appeal to people who don't know who parks is that was the point good work noticing that good work good well yeah we're content guys we are we are uh do you have a meeting with uh noted social

media intern callie later to discuss the uh ramifications of this tweet numbers are so out of work no but i would like for callie if she hasn't already to send that email that she sent a couple weeks ago to let everybody know that i went viral we'll have we'll have callie send a company-wide email letting everyone know that you went viral thank you callie people at washedmedia.com big news this week actually that's a good email yeah we should do that guess what dylan did which is great because as everyone in here knows i've been losing followers for the past uh six years yeah like monthly i will lose between 10 and 30 followers every month and it's been you undid it it's pretty frustrating well do you mind if one of our sponsors chimes in real quick oh my god i would love for that to

of those moments where it's like damn it we don't have a free episode for a few days now doesn't it feel like new dinosaurs are dropping all the time and it just makes me wonder like why like how many are there how many species are there and why is it taking us so long to find all of them well this says remains of europe's largest ever land-based dinosaur were discovered in england scientists say the prehistoric bones belong to a two-legged crocodile-faced dinosaur the university of southampton paleontologist said the predator was 32 feet long and lived 125 million years ago. 32 feet long. That's a big boy. Two-legged, crocodile-faced dinosaur.

Does this thing, like, have, like, little T-Rex arms? If this picture is accurate, then it does, but those are more substantial than a t-rex's arms t-rex arms are just useless it looks a little nubs right here there's no point in them these things actually have some claws aren't t-rex is not even that vicious didn't they discover that no i thought they discovered they weren't even that vicious they're the king of all dinosaurs we talk are you sure because i think that this new dinosaur that was that's 32 feet long with crocodile face might be the new king. How long are T-Rexes?

Bitch, I don't know. I'm going to look it up. Why don't you look it up? You're the dinosaur guy. I mean... How long are T-Rexes? Figure it out. Calm down.

40 feet. Oh, there you go. So this was the biggest one in Europe. Where were T-Rexes mobbing? Up to 40 feet? So they're probably about the same size I'd like to see a fight between I think t-rex is chilled in the United States. Well, it wasn't the United States back then So it said the bones which were discovered on the Isle of Wight you familiar with the Isle of Wight Did Randy Travis find these? I? Don't even we need Dave here for someone to understand that oh he's digging

up bones okay i thought you were making an isle of white joke and i was like that doesn't make sense had a huge pelvic and tail vertebrae the isle of white has been dubbed dinosaur island due to its rich depository of dinosaur remains no fewer than 29 species have been recorded in its soft clays and sandstones sandstones that erode quickly, revealing the secrets of life on planet Earth more than 100 million years ago. You know, speaking of having a crocodile-like face, did you know that crocs have been around since the dinosaurs? Well, you know, they technically can't die.

Hundreds of millions of years. Did you know that? See, Dave's not here to dispute my science. Did you know that? I kind of, I think I did know that. Isn't it so crazy how long ago these things were alive? And humans have been alive for like this much of history. That's why I think.

I'm holding my fingers really close together if you can't see. That's why when people talk about the world ending, I'm like, you know what? It's, yeah, it's going to. It's like, man, we just really got here and just screwed everything up. Dude, we're just a little flash in the pan. A flash in the pan. Like, yeah, we're like, I don't want to live, I don't want to live, like live forever or anything because like everyone's going to die. die everyone like we're going to get cleared out

sooner than later we're going to die yeah like these dinosaurs probably just all mobbing out having a good time and then that meteor hit or whatever and now they're all like dead they were here hundreds of millions of years ago just like eating shit know, stomping around. Eating trees and animals and stuff. Maybe it was that they came out that T-Rexes had feathers. That they were more feathered than we originally thought. Which that makes it way less intimidating if they come up with a bunch of feathers looking like a bird. I mean, they're really close to birds. T-Rexes?

Just dinosaurs. Dinosaurs. Why? Actually, in the new jurassic world which is a fictional movie right no but it's based on actual dinosaurs do they actually try to make it based on actual dinosaurs there's a a feathered one a big like you know meat-eating feathered one in the movie that's kind of tight do they have a name for this one yeah there's a name i don't i don't know the name but of course no but i'm talking about for this new dinosaur like i'm not seeing any name here maybe we could name it what do we call it

deez nutsasaurus randy didn't even like that randy randy do you have a name for this dinosaur over there randy what's your problem yeah what's your problem dude what's the name of the dinosaur here randy i'm putting you on the spot name the dinosaur right now he said deez nutsasaurus is perfect there we go great contribution from randy there What's the name of the dinosaur? Here, Randy. I'm putting you on the spot. Name the dinosaur right now. Dees Nessosaurus is fine. He said Dees Nessosaurus is perfect. There we go. Great contribution from Randy there. I still think that there's like...

Okay, I don't know if we have any paleontology backers here. Have we ever had anyone reach out to us that's a paleontologist? No, but Park says he wants to be one when he gets older. But like... All they do is sit there and they like brush off bones in the wild. That's not all they do. And then they're like, oh, this one's probably pretty big. And then they release some news.

They stay relevant in the news cycle. And then they go back and they like have new findings. At what point are we just going to actually know what's going on? How do they make money? They're digging up bones. The bones are the money. Bones are the money. Yeah. But that's why they're digging up bones the bones are the bones yeah but that's why they're so thirsty to get all their money yeah they're thirsty as fuck for these bones because that's how they survive oh do you think they ever like i would take one because okay like nick cage will buy like a however many million dollar like dinosaur bone for his house

oh yeah wouldn't shouldn't wouldn't you just want to take one and just bring it home with you and be like yeah this is a dinosaur skim a little off the top a t-rex um i think it was just the head was sold recently for like quite quite the sum of money like over a hundred million millions of dollars i don't know how much it was nicholas cage dinosaur skull it says uh no two millions this says he got it at auction for 276 thousand dollars that's not the one i'm talking about oh yeah i don't know if i want dinosaur remains in my house okay one of them was auctioneded for auctioned for 27 and a half million dollars. It was a T-Rex skull. Have you thought about getting one for like parts for his birthday?

I just don't think that's in my, in my range. Would he even be excited? To have a real T-Rex skull in his room? Yeah. Yeah. But he'd get over that real fast. Like he'd probably rather have a video game. Have you shown parts the D's nuts video

like where it all started? I don't know. I haven't. Is he ready for it? No. Well, I don't know. It's not like it's not inappropriate. It's just literally a D's nuts jokes,

which sounds like he's absolutely volume shooting lately. He had another D's nuts joke later in the day on Saturday, but I didn't want to like double down on the joke. So I'm letting the other one breathe. I'm not even going to tweet about it, but it was also pretty what was it so we dropped he and uh him and um low bay off at this this little thing down the street it's like a kids camp thing anyway um i dropped him off he ran off to go play and i had like signed them in i'm like all right buddy i'm leaving he goes wait wait wait he's he's already off playing with kids right he runs up to me he's like i have something i got

to tell you it's like okay what is it i was gonna say like i love you or whatever and he just he brought me in close and he whispered it he whispered these nuts again to my ear and it just i was cackling again he just has great timing and delivery with it he's a natural it's incredible let's give him a podcast we already wanted to get him on the twitch twitch streams just playing gta just killing hookers and stuff he's not doing that anymore what you don't you don't want your seven-year-old son twitching and making these nuts jokes online i don't think that's good we could set him up for a lifetime of just generational wealth some of these kids are making lots of money. You're right. Man, some of those moments still,

and you know, those moments with your kids, they make you realize how fragile life can really be. He's about to do it. You just think about, you know, you got to savor those moments. You got to savor those D's nuts jokes, you know? Right, right. And on that note, it makes sense

slash steam. You know, this next story, Dylan, is something that I don't know if I feel good about it. It's a little dark. There's some darkness to it. Usually when death is involved, I try to avoid it. But in this case, you simply can't look away. Yeah. What's the old SNL skit? I think it was Tracy Morgan, and he always used to say, damn nature, you scary.

Remember that one? You're talking about Brian Fellows. Brian Fellows. Yes, thank you. Brian Fellows went really hard. It was one of the best, one of my favorite SNL characters for sure. Did you know that, I didn't know that Julia Louisia louis dreyfus

was on snl for a short period of time um i guess i didn't either i watched her on the plane yesterday i watched uh my my next guest the david letterman interview show and i was very excited to see that she was on i was like oh didn't sound like she had a very good time on it of course famously played elaine bennis on Seinfeld. Yeah, she said she's tired of talking about Seinfeld, but she still enjoys it. Really? Yeah.

You get old, right? I mean, that's all I'd want to talk to her about. Were you a Veep guy? I gave it a shot, and while I did enjoy it, not enough to really dig in. I think you got to dig in. Yeah. I've heard great things.

I don't know how we got here from what we were supposed to be talking about, it turns out that this elephant in india um he's got a score to settle dylan yeah so this is pretty sad um but if you're a sick twisted person like like like us then you might find a little human you're freaking twisted um yeah so an elephant very unfortunately trampled and killed a 75 70 year old woman in india very sad story i mean yeah it says that she was uh at a tube well drawing water my tube in a district village when a wild elephant appeared out of nowhere and then it says after being trampled miss mermu was taken to the hospital where she died of her injuries. You know, a sad story.

It ends there. Why are you even talking about this? They decided to have a funeral for her as they do, you know, a little tribute to the dead, the past. It says, reports said, when family members gathered for the funeral and were in the middle of performing last rites, the same elephant appeared,

lifted Miss Mermoo's body from the funeral pyre and trampled it again as shocked mourners looked on this is the most disrespectful thing i've ever witnessed he had to show up he had to show up and make sure she was make sure she was gone i mean the good news is she was dead so she didn't feel the the second trampling but still it's got to be pretty traumatizing for the onlookers. What did this woman do to this elephant when she was alive that caused this elephant to have such pent up anger towards her? So, you know they say elephants never forget. Facts.

Okay. Do you think this elephant knew that the body he was, the corpse I should say, that he was trampling, or she was trampling, was the same woman that this elephant had already killed previously. Oh, yeah. I think everyone in the world has their own smell. We don't know what it really is. I can kind of know what someone might smell. Do elephants have a good sense of smell? I don't know. Their nose is quite long. Yeah, you got to think that their long-ass nose aids in that that or does it all get lost in that long ass nose before it gets to

their brain i don't know how to answer that well like you got to think that he just knew that this woman was there and he was like nope i got to show up and just do this i saw this on twitter originally and the best follow-up the best reply tweet was the picture of the guy who showed up to his haters funeral to make sure he was dead exactly exactly he was just posing in front of the you know everyone there to like by the casket like come on i don't know what kind of elephant poaching rules are surrounding you know elephants in india i don't support poaching by any means of course but i do support defending your family i think that this family might need to go out and take care of business i think and i think everyone in the village might need to turn the other turn the other way eye for

an eye kind of situation yeah i mean it's one thing to it's one thing to kill your family member it's another thing when they show up like you know how you always like you'll see things on television where someone's having a funeral and then like someone walks up right before the funeral starts and stands in the back and does that. Do you think this elephant just showed up and just like bowed up there and they were like, oh, yeah, it's one thing to to kill someone, but it's nothing to do with so disrespectfully. This is the most disrespectful trample trampling of all time. I don't understand how this elephant can still exist without having this family just

try to kill it. That's the follow up we need. It is that, by the way the independent the article linked here is an absolute mess it's pop-ups and just text is covered up you can't it's terrible well sorry dylan that's the only link i know i'm not i'm not saying i'm sure there's other links out there my gripe is with the independent not with will to freeze well why don't you subscribe to the independent i'm not i'm not gonna because they're trash that's why if you were gonna get killed by any, what would you get killed by?

I think I've asked you this recently, and you said big cat. A tiger. Why? Because that's the dopest story. I mean, if I got killed by a bobcat, like, oh, this, a bobcat took Dylan down? Really? But a tiger. Did a shark register for you?

Yeah. Yeah. But a tiger's, tigers are just badass. Tiger or a lion even, or like a polar bear. If I got got by a polar bear, that's a story. I had an uncle. Shout out, congratulations to me for having an uncle. Congratulations to him for being an uncle at the time.

Big for him. He has since passed. And before he died, he told me and this i was really young and impressionable and i didn't see this uncle very often at all but he had this big huge uh gash out of his leg and he told me one day he was like yeah i got bit by a shark while scuba diving and i was like that is so fucking sick is he bsing and so he eventually died and uh i was talking to one of my cousins and i was like yeah i was like i didn't really know much about him other than he got bit by a shark on his leg.

And they were like, what? I was like, yeah, he got this shark bite out of his leg. And they were like, well, he just let you believe it. They were like, well, he got drunk and got run over by a golf cart. And I was like, oh, do we post it on TFM? I don't think, I don't think TFM existed when he got run over by the golf cart. I don't even know if he got run over what happened, but they to me like no this happened on a golf cart and i was just like oh man he completely punked me that's funny yeah it was good and it definitely made me think that

i'm definitely gonna lie to like you know my niece i need a lot of my nieces and nephews more actually and i i got i had to fess up to a lie i told it was a white lie i told parks but i have a like remote start on my car not to brag and one day i was like dude if you if you say like one two three engine turn on i programmed it to recognize your voice and it'll turn on so he would say it and i would just hit the button real quick and finally this morning he tried to do it and i didn't have my keys handy i was like man i'm sorry i gotta be honest with you parks i made that whole thing up why didn't you just tell him that it wasn't working that day i I don't know. It was too hot.

I didn't want him to keep believing it. Why? Because I've done it like 20 times so far with him, and he loves it. And finally. He's probably telling his boys at school about that. This is like the third time it hadn't worked because I didn't have my keys handy. I was like, oh, shit. He's going to catch on.

I'm just going to own up to it. Anyway. Yeah, anyway. A lot of little kids about injuries you have but if i got got by a tiger man please everyone would be talking about it it'd be a national headline if you get got by a tiger you're gonna you're making the news is it a national headline yeah a tiger viral tweet guy gets mauled by tiger dies if i'm walking through like one of those indian villages where this happens a lot maybe not like what if you're

what if the first like words of the obituary like dylan chivery noted d's nuts tweeter noted viral guy has passed on due to tiger injuries right if you do you want do you want your like you're clicking that story do you if you get killed by like a vicious animal like you know how they don't put the cause of death in most obituaries i need to put it in my will beforehand that says like if i die in a like crazy way please put it in the obituary i want people to know instead of having to text and be like hey do you do you hear i will die if you get if you got got by a bear or a big cat or something we would get a lot of we almost lost a breath we could if you got got by a bear or a big cat or something we

would get a lot of content we almost lost a breath we almost lost breath this week into a bear yeah no offense we're getting a lot of content out of it what if you got if brett gets killed by a bear or you i think we'd have to tell like text like we'd have to email all the advertising and be like hey so brett's no longer with us he actually got killed by a fucking bear which is kind of sick yeah i'm gonna take i'm gonna take over this account from now on because the guy you're talking to before yeah a bear killed him so objectively cool way to go what yeah like these watch media guys should be a little more upset about losing their business development guy that's why he's not responding to your emails yeah hey what an episode thank you thank you for giving me the platform to talk about going viral i had a lot
