Good morning. It's a circling back podcast Tuesday morning. A short week, right? Yes, short week. My name is Dave. Welcome to the show. We've got a huge show, a show that I can promise you will be unlike any other. Producing is Randall Trimbecki. Hi, Dave. I get to wear my Purdue rowback in celebration today.

Oh, that is a Purdue. You know, I only get a few days of the year in the fall to celebrate Purdue. And this is one of them. Who'd they take it to? Indiana State University. Final? I think it was 45 to like seven or something. That's a beat down, dog.

Yeah. Someone in our group chat, like said, Purdue with eyes emoji. And I went, yeah, but we beat Indiana State University two years ago, 49 to zero. and then went on to have a one and 11 season. So this isn't really the game to, you know, gauge how good Purdue is. Yeah, I mean, it's Indiana State. Yeah.

But still, man, a dove's a dove. Yeah, celebrate the victories. Yeah, shout's to the sycamores, man. You put up a fight, I guess. No, it sounds like they didn't at all. Sure is a threatening mascot. Sycamores, huh? Mm-hmm.

Go trees. Very cool. Dylan Shivery. You know that feeling where you, Like maybe you get in trouble at school and then like a no descent home or like a phone call is made. You haven't yet talked to your parents, but you know that when you get home, you're going to deal with the consequences. Yeah. That should be how you feel right.

That's how I feel right in this moment. We'll explain later, but there's something wrong between Will and me. It's going to be an issue. Is he aware? No. No. No. No.

He's not aware. but he soon will be and I'm scared I'm nervous I have anxiety yeah that's uh he might just beat the shit out of me and I'm gonna let him it's it's it's it's it's it's probably worse than what people are thinking it is it's bad it's going to get it's going to get real bad yeah dude um I don't want to spend too much time teasing it but I mean when you told I yeah I was very surprised my heart's sunk when I realized what had happened. Yeah, a little

curtain pullback, unrelated, kind of, but I guess Randy's off the hook as the person who just like we always give Randy shit for being the guy who's always throwing parties up here. Somebody threw a little party over the weekend up here. I got in. My desk

had some cups on it, a random tumbler that might have been there for us. I don't know. My seat was way, you know, it was higher than it was supposed to be. The monitor was right at the edge of the table. Stuff on my desk was on. You had toad in your chair. That's an honor, sir.

You had the biggest guy in Dylan's Fantasy League there. Yes, and the nicest. Well, shout out to Toad. Yeah, we had a fantasy football draft here over the weekend. That's what we're talking about. It wasn't a party, but we did knock a few back. Dude, my draft is your party. Dude, my wellness dart.

your wellness dardy is my shit did you guys narwhal any beers is my warm up not yet no we didn't narwhal oh man good times i'm gonna just i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna start by saying hey uh for those wondering like dave you sound a little congested uh unfun fact my uh friday morning i have uh i have an allergy test where i uh my allergist that i'm i don't have to go to now like tests me to see what my allergies are so they can devise me up some drops so I can take it and not have really bad seasonal allergies. I can't take any allergy medication whatsoever for until until it's done. So I am, I'm struggling. I got to the gym this morning and the guys were out doing the, you know, with the blowers and the edgers and all that. Oh yeah. And I was like,

this is worst case scenario. So I'm like, I'm like fast walking. walking through us. There's just like, I'm walking through dirt and leaves in the air. It was just like, this hell. So yeah, I'm going to sound like this for a few days. I'm sorry, man. I apologize. Otherwise, feel great. Full Body Tuesday. Yeah? Hit some, uh, yeah, hit some lunges, some, uh, lap pull down, some shoulder press. You look pretty buff today. I don't feel buff. I had like the long weekend threw me off, man. I felt unproductive. More than a bit.

Patreon day coming right in. I bet you didn't think I'd remember that we're doing exactly five. But I put up the prompt last night. Exactly five minutes today. That'll go down around 2.2.30-ish. And I posted something. What? I was thinking of something.

You continue. Well, I was hoping you're going to. say no it's actually something else and i've got something prepared for i thought you know i don't see it on the rundown but we we we got today's a big day for washed media yeah that's true big announcement well not it's not we already announced it but today's the first day of uh new employment for our friend brett and a second bdn new brett we got he's got we got to we got to have a nickname for this i'm calling him bdn bradne garden i just doxton he's docston that's his name yeah wash media is now six Yeah, today's his first day.

He's working remotely this week, but he'll be in here next week. We might put him in the hot seat and see what he's all about, see what he's made of. Now, we're excited. Yeah. I'm going to be taking a lot more time off now that he's here. You can just sit here and just do my job. Deal with your congestion and everything. It sucks, dude.

If I were you, I'd probably fall on our socials right now. Yeah. Good time to buy low. Let's just say he's all logged in as of this morning. They're not buying that low. They're buying pretty low. We do some good stuff on there, but it's about to be absolutely firing. Everybody's wondering why you're just glazing baby gronk.

Dude. By the way, we got the follow on Instagram, too. Saw that, yeah. It's huge. It's big for us. Yeah. I thought I might see him walking around the 40 acres. Didn't see him, though.

Just on a visit or something. Right, yeah. Yeah, so check out our Patreon is what I'm trying to tell you. Okay? It's a great time to be a patron. We dropped two episodes on there. Just go opto tier. Try it out.

I promise you will like it. If you don't email Dylan at washmedia.com and he will apologize. If we're emailing, if you have a small business you want to promote, hit up Brett at washmedia.com to promote your small business in the month of September, small business September. And should people start emailing spooky at Wash Media, Dave? When do you want to start doing that? I'll do that full rollout later in the week.

Okay. Nice. I don't want to. I can only do. I don't want to mix. Small biz, spooky, just too much. Just give me some time. Watch this show on Spotify.

Watch the show on YouTube. We're going to be doing a lot more promoting to those things. You can watch it live on YouTube. You can watch it after the fact on YouTube or Spotify and or Spotify. Watch it on both. Go dual monies. Yeah. Go dole monies like Toadwood.

Go sit at some guy's desk you've never met. Pull his monitor closer. He hurts the toe. You're the toad and you're like 6'3. He's bigger than that. He's 6'5, dude. He's 6.5? Oh, yeah.

He's 6.5. Dude, the Toad, he would never do it because he's too nice, but he would fuck you up. He brought stuff from mimosa yesterday. That's why you had the stack of cups on your desk. He'd pour everybody up a very tall mimosa. It was fantastic. Oh, nice. He brought his own drinks.

I heard not everyone did that. That's true. That's true. Yeah, I noticed there are three celtures missing. I thought Randy had a dardy up here. Three seltzes? One time Randy and his boys came up here. They're actually our boys too, kind of.

But they came up here and I don't even know who it was, but they had some Celsius. It was like in between bars or like or maybe pregame ACL. And there was like three seltzers missing it. Yeah. I still hear about it today. They had a place to open a bag up. Nice.

What? I don't do cocaine. Small biz September. Email me, no, email Brett. Brett at washmedia.com. If you're a small biz, you want to shout out. I'm going to shout out. I'm shouting out my buddy.

Austin, Texas, his own. Helpful handyman ATX. Came by my place yesterday. I knew he was doing the handyman stuff. And yes, to the very observant listener who noticed that he is a handyman who does drive a vintage land cruiser. Good eye, because he is. He drives a big land cruiser that tows like a big thing that's got all his tools. Helpful handyman ATX.

I didn't even tell him I'm doing this, but I'm just going to gas him up. He's a he, I played high school golf with him. Dylan, you probably don't remember this because it was like eight years ago, but you played golf with him. He has a big beard and he's bald. Okay. My buddy Malone. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's doing the handyman stuff.

He's been doing it for a few years. He's got a new baby. Help him out. He was a, I've grown up with him. I was in Boy Scouts with him. Know his family. He's the man. He came by yesterday.

We had a little outside pipe issue. Had to come by and help me with something. And I just wanted to maybe, you know, see what he could do. And he did well. It was great being emasculated by a buddy from high school doing a, doing some stuff. I mean, people were like, dude, why don't you just look this up on the internet, look at, watch a video on YouTube, go to AI, go to Claude. Got it.

Because I don't want to. Got to ask. What does he know about HVACs? I don't think he has commercial. HVAC in his resume. I think that's a very specific trade. Okay. Plus,

we've got our guy. We do. He's the hat man. And he should be here later today. I wonder if we could just pay him under the table. That'd be so sick. Yeah. Anyway, helpful handyman ATX.

Go to his website, Helpful Handyman ATX.com. Book him. He's got great reviews. He's really good. He's a good dude. Honest guy. Known him forever.

I give him the official day of rough seal of approval. So check them out. You don't just hand those out either. No, I don't. No. Not everybody in this company has those. I'd never even gotten one. Well, you don't have it.

Okay. You never ask. There's an application. Oh, okay. I'll prove myself one day to you. Yeah. Once I get all the wires out of you. Well, yeah, I didn't want to say it.

I mean, you know. That's the first thing the boys noticed when they came in here yesterday for the fantasy draft. They said, what's up with all the wires? I was like, we've got to. producer that it doesn't really know how to hide him or get rid of them he's addicted to him i love the wire did they come in here yeah they checked out the stokes did this room yeah they didn't they didn't sit down and take it all in but they they had questions a lot of questions i saw cam colman's ready for uh ohio state yeah we're coming it's just weird because like they're actually coming

Yeah, I hope you guys like a turf. It's 175 degrees. Low key, that might be the X factor in this game. I know it's a night game, but it's not going to exactly be cool outside. No, it's not. Dude, before we get into this weekend and phone, can I give another shout out to backer Zach

and his actual party that came by on Friday? It was great seeing that. Shout out to our boy, Zach, who, that makes me. Maybe the happiest anyone's ever been to see us, which I took as a great compliment to us. But man, that guy was absolutely fired up to meet us. What a guy. Can they bring a bag? Congrats on the upcoming nuptials. What was the plan for the bachelor party?

They hit Mattles the night before they came here. And then they were going to, they say like Travis? Is that what he said? I can't remember. I know that they were asking about barbecue. I think they probably went to Terry Blacks. They were hitting a lot of the awesome stuff that we had recommend. ended.

Sorry, I missed you. I had to be home with the boy. We told him. We told him why you couldn't be here, Dave. You should have to send him to my house. I should have. Yeah. Why didn't I do that?

On Friday. Chelsea and I, we went to a little place called Maddo Ranchos for dinner. Maddall Ranchos. Mattel Ranchos. Just you all too? Just us, too. Met a backer there at the entryway. Dude had like the big old meaty paws.

I was jealous of his handshake. He had like offensive tackle hands. He probably knew that too. He just put it out there. He gave me a firm. I was like, damn, this is a fucking hombre right here. Is this a big old meaty paws? You text us?

You're like, man, I just met. this guy and no that this didn't happen i forgot his name i'm sorry i usually i always ask names and i try to register it but it slipped it slipped my mind you forgot his name that's nice fella he called me roger dorn love that oh so that was friday well hold on lovely evening don't gloss over where'd you sit main room uh where randy recently sat up against the window in the main room it was dope that's a good it was prime which absolutely prime we did uh shrimp shrimp fajitas oh it's very good Very good with, of course, a Bob Armstrong dip. Nice.

Saturday was pretty much all about college football. However, it was interrupted because a pretty cool house hit the market in the neighborhood that we've been looking in. It was an open house, and we went there and we loved it. And they were like, well, guess what offers are due tomorrow at noon? Like, oh, shit. So we scrambled. We put an offering on a house, which we were not prepared to do at all. We were currently leasing.

We had to reach out to our landlords. Hey, we found this perfect house. Would you guys be willing to let us out? And they were like, yeah, we would. Very nice. They didn't accept our offer. They got seven offers. The thing was on the market for three days.

Is the Austin Market back? This neighborhood is just hot, dude. You know the one I'm talking about. It's hard to get a house in there. But we gave it a shot. Didn't work out. And that's okay. Other opportunities will present themselves, hopefully.

Yeah. Dylan's looking over on Greek Row. Yes. Watched a lot of balls Saturday. A lot of ball. Fun day. Texas look good. Shout to the Bobcats who,

they have a good offense, man. They put some yards up against Texas. Did not convert when they needed to. No. They moved the ball. Tough day for the kicker. There's no pain. Like you're a 30 point dog on the road

and you're moving the ball actually pretty well against a great defense. And you go down there and you just miss like a not even a long. field goal and you're just like who the fuck is the everybody's looking at each other like who is this what the

because we had you know we had transfer we had a kid I think it was last year or two years ago didn't you all steal our ticket transferred to Texas yeah Mason Shipley fuck yeah and now we got but he's moved on he's not longer at Texas

is he the NFL where's he at I think he got a camp invite but it wasn't he didn't make the roster feels like a Mason Shipley should be out there yeah college football somewhere yeah Sunday had the whole family over. We watched some more football. My sister, brother, a lot, my nieces, my dad, we were all there.

I was a good family day. Just they were there for a few hours. They brought over some baby stuff because my nieces are, they've moved past like the crib stage, you know, so that we've got a crib. They join the blood? We're setting up the nursery, which is exciting. Chelsea is very excited about it. And then yesterday, Parks had baseball practice.

Didn't do a whole lot yesterday. Oh, no, yesterday was the, sorry, yesterday was the fantasy football draft. That's right. That was yesterday. Yeah, dude. Nothing happened. Fantasy. Nothing at all.

Had nine dudes in here. It's ruined a friendship. And a friendship was destroyed in the process, which we'll talk about here in a minute. And then baseball practice. And that's it. Go ahead, Randolph. My day. Friday kind of kept the chill. People are going to hate this. Did get Pizza Hut's original pan pizza. So that was great. Just kind of call it easy, though, because Saturday we went to San Antonio to go visit my old roommate and see his new house, go down San Antonio and see some stuff with them. I got to give them my gift, their wedding gift. That's only a year and a half late. I will be posting about that. So be following at Ranger back on Instagram to see that post.

It was a pretty good gift, I think. People are going to be like, wow. A lot of love was put into that. And it was. So we went down to San Antonio. Look, I was like, I want to see the Alamo and I want to see the River Walk. I'd at least want to go see it. Elmo's cool.

We didn't do like the tour or anything. We just went to go outside of it. When we go back down, we'll definitely go do like a full tour. Right next to the Ripley's, believe it or not. Yeah. We walk past that. the riverwalk's cool. I don't know what people like,

people are like, think it's overrated or whatnot. It's, it's been really cleaned up from what I hear. It's really cool, but it feels super hokey because every restaurant along the riverwalk is like a,

like a Bubba Gump shrimp. That is true. Which is like, all right. It kind of takes away from the, it's like they're trying to get a bunch of randies down there. Yeah. Well, they did.

That's why he loved it. There's a, like a Jimmy Buffet, Margaritaville and all kinds, places like that. It just feels a little hokey. So we went, There we, I did do a frozen review.

People are probably going to hate that I did go to one of those hokey places, went to Rita's on the riverwalk. Just because I'm like, I want to do at least one here. I know there's better places, but you need to do something on the riverwalk. So that'll be coming out at some point. We did the boat, just did a little, you know, tour of the got on there. They have boats going up and down. Like, all right, it's like, you know, 20 bucks.

Let's go see it. Then went to a place called Guillermo. Let me tell you. I've heard about Texas size portions Austin doesn't really give you like Texas size portions San Antonio does because when we went to the Redos

it was just for like chips and salsa and a frozen oh my God the amount of food that they gave us good? It was good yeah people always say San Antonio if you want you want Tex-Mex you go San Antonio you want like the real deal with Tex-Mex yeah so that was good going forward Sunday

evening I got me some endless shrimp I went to Red Lops and got me some endless shrimp David By yourself? No, Megan and I went We both got it And let me tell you that shrimp was endless

I'm still eating it, yeah How many do you think you put back? Less than I thought I was going to I probably put it in total 25-ish Damn you know it's no crazy in there. It was good though.

And Monday was just kind of relaxing pool day. You know, just hang out at the pool. Enjoy the sun. They put out a little bit of some Halloween stuff, but... No. Overall, it was a lot of... It was a lot of eating food, eating out, and... Going to San Antonio and chilling on the weekend.

You got to stop with the Halloween shit, dude. Why? No. Keep going. No. You're cheapening. You're cheapening spooky season. Wow. It's...

Labor Day is done. It's September. I think we're officially in... Correct. ...to decorate for Halloween. It is... There's nothing spooky about what's happening. It's still 102 today.

Yeah. No. It's coming. Whether you're ready or not, it's happening. The actual holiday is not for, like, what, 40 days? Okay. Here's the thing, Dave. I could say the same thing about Christmas down here in Texas.

It's 75 degrees on Christmas. What? We can't even decorate Christmas for Christmas because of the weather? Y'all are both bad about Christmas, too. No, no. I'm very much like, hey, Christmas after Thanksgiving. Oh, I'm, I think you can pull the Christmas decorations out after Halloween. November 1st, man.

You can, you can pull them out of the closet or the attic. This is just, this is just an empire and collapse. More, more, more evidence of it. I've been saying it for weeks. Black Friday is the official start at Christmas for me. But, you know, I'm not going to get super mad at people who want to go a little bit early because I am someone with Halloween that wants to go as soon as Labor Day's Donald.

You're not afraid to go a little early. Yeah, soon. Okay. Friday night, Johnny Blue Skies at Moody Theater. The big one? Moody Center. Moody Center.

God, do we screw that up? Not my favorite venue. But one of my favorite shows I've been to, myself, Will DeFries, who remains my friend, and will i hope um blaine a friend of the show and uh even tell salgau in the building our buddy taylor he's a loot but you didn't know that i did he's in the group chat uh we had

crown an anchor before burger burger i did have a burger don't don't gas it up it's supposed to be one of the best it's not no one i haven't had it okay There were people with us, and I don't want to... They're Austin... Austin lifers, and they were gassing it up, and everybody was like, man, was that an off day? Just the burger was... It was very fine. I wonder if it's because other places have passed it by, or they've lost their fastball.

One of the two happened there. Blaine and Taylor described it. They go, yeah, we've ordered burgers at high school football games before, and that's what they compared it to. Oh, that's not. And where was this? I was... Crown anchor.

Okay. Over by... I think it's by campus. Basically on campus. You could walk to... And, yeah. Went there. Had a couple beers.

Had a burger. Got... Kind of got yelled at by a waitress because I was in the way. Okay. She said, excuse you. And I was like, oh. Excuse you.

Damn. And I look. She's like, yeah, excuse you. I was like, aw. You double excuse me. Nice. Tough. It's one of those places

where you're always in the way, though. Yeah. Fine. Whatever. As for the show, started at 8 o'clock, went from 8 till well after 11.

No breaks. No intermission. Just three plus hours of Johnny Blue Skies shredding. And it was great. It was great. It was so good

that he kind of lost track of his set list and he was like in the middle of like the final song what ended up being the final song it was just like yeah i just he's like yeah we got a turns out we had a curfew hard curfew about 30 seconds ago so they finished the song and that was it and they had like if you look at like what the set list was there was like two songs that he didn't get to that's what happens when you're jamming dude damn what next thing you know your your six minute song is a nine minute song or your six-minute song is a seven-minute song. And you don't get to everything, and that's okay.

There's a moment where he, I don't want to spoil it, actually, but there's a moment he adds in a new song. It's out there on Instagram. You've probably seen it if you're going to go, but I won't spoil it. He jumps into it. It's a cover. It's one of the best things I've ever seen in concert.

Damn. I knew it was coming too, but I kept trying to pinpoint when he was going to jump. into it. And when he jumped into it, I was like, oh, my God. Like, we're all looking at and shit. He's doing it. Yeah. Incredible. Saturday. Got up because I'm a t-ball dad. I hit t-ball practice. Left early, went home. Where did I go? I went to Sholes. I went to Sholes. or I tried to go to Sholes. Sholes is a bar also

basically on campus, right? You know Sholes? I don't know Sholes. Oh. Okay. In my mind, Sholes is like an like an Austin establishment. It may not.

Are you talking about Shultz? Shultz. Shultz Beer Garden? Well, I don't know. I didn't get in because the line was very long. Yeah. You're talking about Shultz. Shultz.

Beardn. It's like a German-style beer garden. I bet it's lovely. Tried to meet some guys there. Line by the time. got there tried to go over two hours before kickoff line was crazy we're like all right so we went let's just go closer to the stadium try to tailgate this t-state texas game and um man was in a mess it was it was hot it was sloppy people were fading caught a little eli young

band okay didn't sound great no offense to him it was probably probably the weather um I saw Ian, like, dude, it was, it was tough. People were, people were having, having trouble. As they probably should have, it was 102 degrees. Actually, no, I don't even think it was 100. I think it was like in the 90s, but the heat index was crazy. Finally get in or try to get in. Our gate, so you have to, it's like a lot of stadiums, I imagine, like, you have to go in your specific entrance.

It was a cluster. Like, a sea of people, no real line. people bitching, complaining. We finally get in, go up to our seats. Before the game it even started, there's people like sitting along like the walls outside or inside like by the concessions that were just like done from the heap. We're like, oh shit. Thank God our seats were covered. We were in the shade.

We weren't super hot in the shade at all. Like it was not even a thing. Flyover happened. Cool. Texas fans were, they were excited opening day, Christmas for them. I feel like they, first quarter Texas fan, very into the game. After that, it wasn't particularly loud, but I will say the opening drive, opening Texas State took the kickoff. That opening drive was loud.

We took the L. wasn't great. Offense moved the ball. T State moved the ball. Quarterback, Brad Jackson. I'm very proud of him. I don't know if he got sacked. He was very slippery back there.

Like, he was rolling out of the pocket and making plays, made some throws. Texas State moved the ball. It's a good offense. They didn't convert, though. They did not convert. You can't go down there. Can't get in the red zone and not leave with points.

against a, you know, a team that's a 30-point favorite. And in the end, it ended up being a blowout. We didn't stay for the entire second half. Texas fans, I will say, pretty nice. We were in the section, I think the section we were in. We sat next to a young lady. We're in a Texas jersey. About quarter in, she looks over, and she's like, you guys are alumni?

Like, Texas State, we're like, yeah. She said, when did you y'all graduate? We told her. And she said, oh, cool. She goes, yeah, I graduated from there in 2021. I worked from Texas State. She's like, yeah. And we're like, oh, okay.

We're like, just rocking the, just a text, like, lifer. You from here? She's like, no, I'm from West Texas. She's like, I've just been a, I grew up a UT fan. Like, okay. I was like, you just, I was like, you were just, it was funny. Dude, that describes a lot of Texas states, too. And so.

Yeah. That's kind of the bit. But she was sitting right next to us. And she was just like, yeah, graduated 2021 T-State. We're like, when Texas State scored, our, you know, our group of guys got up. We were going crazy. I was, you know, was giving her some shit for it. There were some people behind us that were when we were like on the cusp of scoring that

were yelling at us to sit down. Like, sit out, sit the fuck down, Bobcats. Oh, that's so fucking stupid. We scored. I turned around. I looked at the guy who I thought it was. I go, dude, this is probably going to be the only time we put it in the end zone. We're standing up.

And like this other Texas fan, like, he stood up and like, he like put his hand on my shoulder. He goes, celebrate everything, man. Celebrate everything. Yeah, I was like, that's so condescending. See now Bobcats. You know, this is your one chance to celebrate. You should do it. Celebrate everything.

I was like, all right, sure, dude. The fans were, we had a lot of conversation with fans. pretty, I mean, they weren't, had we been like a real threat to, to, to give them a game, they would, but they were all very much like, oh, dude, appreciate y'all showing up. Very like, pat us on the head style stuff. We were walking by before the game, y'all and trap game at people. It was, it was a lot of fun. T-State fans showed out, though.

There was, there was quite a bit. A raw dog to Glezy. Yeah. Wait, what do you mean? I ate a hot dog. No mustard? No. Don't tell Brett.

No, I didn't want to wait in the line. I don't want, like, dude, like, the lines were crazy. I will say the sense I get from Texas fans, and maybe they're just, this is just college football fans about every quarterback ever, there's still a lot of, like, indecision, not indecision, but a lot of like about Arch, a little bit like, huh.

Like, when you threw that pig in the red zone, like, there were people like, Because I was, I was like, as it happened, I was walking to go get that hot dog. And like, people were like, they thought it was the end of the world. They're like, dude, cannot do that in the red. They're like more red zone issues talking about sark in the red zone, talking about Arch. Like, dude, it was funny how like personally they took that. They were worried.

Yeah, I mean, he obviously last year he started off pretty terribly. And so he obviously made a bunch of progress throughout the season. But there's still like, what's you going to look like? that very much exists. The dude in front of me was like, you got to clean that out for Ohio State. Like, yeah, obviously you have to clean up the end zone interception before Ohio State, dude.

It wasn't a great play, but it was good. Luckily, like, he had, he'll, if he's just fine, they'll probably be okay because he has, like, two of the, like, Wingo's so good. Camp Coleman gets all the hype because he's like a freak, but Wingo's so sick, too. Yes. So he had some throws that were like,

they weren't bad throws, but they were like, you know, you'd like them to be a little bit better and like those guys just make it look easy. Yeah. It's crazy. So yeah, all and all a good day. Home went to bed very early. Next day.

Sunday did some t-ball stuff. We got another practice tonight at five. We're right in it, man. But it was good. Watched a lot of balls as well. We'll get to that in a minute. Yeah. So let's just get to the main event here.

But before we do. Warby Parker. I don't have them. You might need them. You might need to go get them because you're probably going to have tears rolling down your face here in a minute. It's fair. You've got the Bremer shades. Or I have the Bremer shades.

You have the Bremer frames, but yours are transitional. They are. Yeah. Mine are great. I love them. I wear them in here for a blue light blocking and then outside for sunglasses. They're freaking awesome. What was your experience buying them?

Pretty seamless, pretty easy. They have a virtual try-on feature on the website, which I tried on. virtually about 30 different frames before I settled on the brimmers. Same. So easy. So great. You know, Warby Parker is now a one-stop shop. They do eye exams, glasses, contacts, sunglasses.

You don't have to piece it together anymore. They have over 300 retail stores across the United States. There's a good chance there's one near you. Randy, you went to the Austin one when we got our sunglasses, right? Yep. Went down at the mall. And check this out, Randall. Warby Parker has distributed over 20 million pairs of glasses to people in need through its buy a pair.

Give a pair program. That's maybe the best part. right now buy one pair of glasses and get 20% off any additional pairs at warby parker.com slash steam that's 20% off any additional pairs when you purchase one pair at w-a-r-r-b-y-parker.com slash steam i will uh i'm just going to sit back here i'm going to actually move the mic and let dylan take it yeah so this is a segment about will and our friendship that is is probably on the rocks at the moment like i said i had a fantasy football draft here in the office yesterday uh eight of my really good friends were in here.

And then Juan K Money, he dialed in remotely. He's in Tennessee. So nine guys total. I was excited to have them in here. They haven't seen the studio yet, haven't seen the office. And I said, it's a B-Y-O-B situation, bring what you want to drink.

Got in here, we order some Taco Deli for the squad. And now we cracked some cold ones. Toad, like I mentioned, he brought three bottles of champagne and some orange juice. He poured mimosas up for everyone. So the vibes were right, drinks were flowing. we're about an hour in to the day. I go to the fridge.

I grab one of the yinglings that I brought. I'm walking back to my desk where I'm drafting from. And I see it. And my heart sunk. My friend Jared was drinking a Miller Lite vortex. Oh, he brought it from home. He did not bring it from home. He grabbed it out of the fridge, obviously.

And I was like, oh, my God. I said, Jared, what are you doing? He said, what, I can't have this mirror light? I was like, well, to be fair, I didn't say no one could grab the miller light. It was in the back of the fridge. Plus, you know, everyone brought their own. So I was expecting him to drink his own supply. You don't know the worst part about this?

It's not the worst part, but he poured it into a cup. Oh, he didn't even get to shoot it down his throat with a vortex. Like, what the fuck are you doing? I said, Jared, do you know that beer's like 20 years old? looked at the label was actually 15 years old okay did anybody any of the other guys like understand like well it's a vortex bottle i said i held i said this is a relic like this is a collector's item they don't make these anymore it's a very old beer look at the label is even it looks just like this by the way so we have two thank god we have two so it's got the old label on it of course the vortex neck uh this one is 14 years old so not as old as the one that jared drank Will doesn't yet know this unless he's listening live, which I doubt he is, because I think he has a haircut right now, thankfully, but he's going to find out. We're going to talk. He's going to be here later today, and we're going to have to go probably have a closed door discussion about what happened, and I'm going to have to apologize profusely and explain what happened.

Let me see if he's looked at this story. Jared did make a good point, though. He said, why is it in the refrigerator? That's a good point. Why is it in there? Why was it in the refrigerator? I don't know. Because I think it's in there because there was a benchmark.

where Will would in fact drink the the Miller Light vortex. Now, I know it doesn't mean it has to stay in there, but there was some, I think it's the Lions one, the Super Bowl, he was going to drink it? I don't, yeah. Something like that.

Okay, so we have one left. Well. We need to put, so you, you didn't know any better. You'd met some guys who played a little stick ball down at the sand lot.

And one day, the best one of the group, just knocked the seams off. the ball. Yeah. So they, or no, it was a home,

was it a home run or no, he didn't, whatever it was. You couldn't play no more. It couldn't play no more. You couldn't play no more. So you went back and he's, oh,

run back in my house. My stepdad, who's also kind of a dickhead, he's got, he's got a ball. I'll go get it and you brought it out there. Next thing you know,

the redheaded guy, the fat guy in the group, hits a home run. And you freak out because this fucking baby Ruth had the home. Smalls hit the home run. Did Smalls hit it?

Because he got first dead bat with the ball because he wouldn't grab the ball. Okay. Why not misunderstood? So your analogy here is that the vortex bottle is the equivalent of a Baybrooth signed baseball. Yes. The Colossus of Cloud. Easily.

Okay. I mean, the Babe Ruth ball is probably even less valuable than the vortex bottle, if you really think of it. We don't even know if Bay Ruth existed. I asked him how the beer was because it lived most of its life like unrefrigerated. It's also 15 years old. He said, now that you pointed out, it's a little flat. You didn't even notice that it was just an old-ass beer.

Where did we get that beer? Someone sent it to us? Yeah. Someone sent it to us and someone brought us this one that he found it like his dad's, whatever. I don't know. You did not tell us that he poured it in a cup. I wanted to save that for the show. He poured it into a cup.

Where's the bottle now? Surely you salvaged the bottle. Yeah, I kept the bottle, right? I think he just, I don't know where the bottle is. I don't know where the bottle is. But it's empty. I mean, it's, it's, yeah, but it's lost. It still has the vortex.

Yeah, it's still, you could still fill it up. It's like the Babe Ruth ball after the beast. You could make a lamp out of it or something. You could easily do something with it. Yeah. It's a glad. It's the bottle. I looked, I looked at, I looked on recycling.

I didn't see it. There might be a little dust on it. We still have, look, we still have, we still have one. It's got Will's name on it. It belongs to Will. It's just, we're just, keeping the form right here. Whenever he wants it, it's his.

Oh, cool. I feel bad enough. Yeah, I'm going to have to face. I'm going to have to face him here in a bit. I'm not looking forward to it. He hasn't looked at the circling back story, so he doesn't know that there's anything going on. I'm upset.

What if he's listening live right now during his haircut and, like, he just had like a full body reaction. Now you just messed up his haircut, too. You've got to stop butterfly affecting me into these awful situations. Don't not blame us for this. So that's what happened. That's what happened. So Randy is no longer...

Jared did feel bad about it. He apologized. What's he gonna do to make it right for Will? I don't know. It shouldn't have been in the fridge, really. No, now you're victim blaming. Yeah. No, I'm not blaming anyone for it,

but if it were not in the fridge, it wouldn't have been consumed. Look, here's the thing, though. That one that's on display in the... We have the AC problems. It might be getting really heated up and skunk. So, keep you in the fridge.

Let me... Will's not going to drink this expecting to have like a crispy, enjoyable experience. Let me just, jump in here and I'm Randy this is for you because and for anybody else you might not understand when you have guests to the office yes make sure uh-huh make sure they understand that they are guests and they need to uh respect the office and like not everything is theirs okay this is for Randy this is for Randy for me for you the three vizis that my friends drank that one time that

were usually just in the fridge for anyone to drink. Correct. That specific time, they weren't. This is for you. Gotcha. Okay. Wow. And the best part is when he reached back there to get it, he had to have made eye contact

with crying will because crying will is in the very back of our fridge. There's a big picture of that. So he, the foreshadowing there in his head, like he didn't know. Do we have so many beverages available to them? Everyone had a cooler. We had Pacifico floating. around here. Our fridge is loaded.

We had Gennis stocked in there. I brought yingling. He had a variety of options, and he wanted, he wanted just an old ass miller light. And it's in the back of the fridge, too, so he had to pass all those beers, then go right next to Cryingwell and get that one. He had to go, like, elbow deep into the fridge.

He really did. God. If not for that backer who brought this one in, I'd be a dead man walking. I feel bad for Brett. This is first day, and this is the end of Wash Media, as we know it. New Brett.

Yeah, new Brett. New Brett. BDN? I'm just trying things out. I don't know. There's something, I don't know. Someone said we can call him B2. It's kind of sick.

His last name isn't very nicknameable. It's too long. Yeah, he's got to shorten it. We can call him the garden. Okay. Where's the garden at? There's something there. I don't know, man.

I'm just, I'm going to be, Randy. You don't look at me like that. I'm still thinking something rodeo, because he's a big rodeo guy. Rodeo, Brett? Or just, yeah. Cowboy Barrette, rodeo britt. Yeah, this is a real cowboy we hired, by the way. It gives us a lot of credit with them boys out Lubbock way.

Does it? Maybe. Their offense looks like shit. Yeah. Sorry. It'll be fine. We'll be talking some ball here to say. Needless to say, the chat is very disgusted with you right now.

Look, I'm disgusted with myself. I told you understand. How'd you sleep last night? This isn't going into Elisa Reid. I'm just, I'm genuinely curious how you slept last night. I had anxiety. Yeah. I had anxiety.

To not even preserve the bottle. I just don't know. It felt like almost a slap in the face to save it. It really did at the time. I was like, this is almost just wanted to get the bad ju-ju out of the office. You could have refilled it with water. Wouldn't that have been worse?

If I try to pull a fast one on Will, he opens it after, you know, the Lions went the Super Bowl. And he's like, there's fucking water in here. you know it would have been a whole thing i know i know i know i know yeah i don't really know what to say that hasn't arden you know what i mean it's like i the fact that he what kind of glass he poured into was it a guinness class he was just like a uh like an insulated like yeti type of a rambler one of those i do respect that guy was like yeah i just i want a light i want a light beer i want domestic light beer he probably poured it in really fast to that cup yeah considering the vortex effect

Okay Anything from Will Let's see Not yet He does not know He'll know soon enough Well I know he had that Potential Scaries deal

Around that Miller light bottle Like it was supposed to be like He was supposed to do a whole photo shoot They specifically said that they wanted two Good he can use this one Well they wanted two of them Because he was gonna do like a

Yeah Two of a kind was the bit Yeah It was like a $5 million deal Twin Twisters Five million Yeah, I'll track another one down If that's the kid, I don't want to lose that deal

I got a photo of Dylan digging in the trash To try to find it Did you really? He's like, got this giant Taco Deli bag Where could the bottle be? I don't know I told everyone to dump all their shit in that We had a big Taco Deli

Like to go bag There's not in there? I looked, man, I didn't see it Hmm Okay Probably someone went dumpster diving and found gold And they took it for themselves That could be it

probably whoever took the rest of those lime scooters. There's still one. Still one. Yeah. I mean, like honestly, the rest of the show is just kind of awkward. I'll tell you what's not awkward,

to the beer not being in the bottle, he says dinosaur skeletons don't have any meat. Doesn't mean they're not important that's a great point great analogy and then we were eating the meat then someone said you know dylan drafted like ass after that i hate my team i i truly hate my team well your co-workers hate you know i know i know who's your quarterback borough oh dude that'd be great for seven weeks yeah true i got nakua though was that your first pick. We do an auction. Oh, that's right. Yeah. But I did spend the most on Nakua.

Okay. Cool, man. Hope it was worth it. It wasn't. Let's talk a little ball. Let's talk a little ball. We'll skip this. And Dave pretty much covered the Texas, Texas State experience already in this weekend in Fonz. We can skip right past that. Is there any, did Texas,

was there anything, Texas fans were like could have cleaned up here or there? Other than like one interception? Didn't love the push in the running game from the O-line. Yeah. Didn't run the ball particularly well. And then y'all broke one early. Broke the first play of the game.

First play of the game. It was a 45-yard run. After that, it was, there were some long runs after that. But for the most part, it was kind of slim pickings in the run game. Didn't love that. Arch looked good, though, man. He can tighten up a bit, but he looked good. Four tuds, we'll take it.

Played two and a half quarters. Anyway, probably the. big headline from the weekend is this Michigan Western Michigan game. Michigan stinks, by the way. They're not good. They got OU this week. It's going to be ugly for Michigan. Their quarterback, Bryce Underwood, who's like the number one overall player.

$10 million quarterback is not. That offense is not good. They couldn't move the ball against Western Michigan. I think they crossed the 50-yard line twice, and one of them was the last play of the game, which is highly controversial. So if you missed it, and you probably didn't. Michigan was down six. The final seconds of the game, they threw a Hail Mary from like the 50 yard line, I guess.

Ball, it lands out of the end zone. Terrible Hail Mary pass, by the way. Clock goes to zero. There are screenshots of the clock showing zero while the ball's still in the air. Somehow the clock operator got a little home cooking, perhaps, put a second backup on the clock. You get one more play. Hail Mary, second Hail Mary attempt was successful. You know what's funny about you saying that he overthrew that first one?

The second one was a great throw. And the reason he probably didn't overthrow it is because he had a guy right in his face. He was throwing basically off his back foot. So had he, he probably would have overthrown that one too. The reason that was such a great throw is because there was a guy to stifle his power. You got to at least have your Hail Mary pass land somewhere in the end zone. The Big Ten came out and said that the guy who first touched the ball, he jumped up from out of bounds and touched the ball,

and therefore right when he touches it because he was out of bounds, that's when the clock is supposed to be cut. That's when you stop the clock. Sure. And they said that a second was still on the clock. However. What the fuck happened? However, we have everyone has,

I guess apparently the clocks weren't. They were using a different clock that wasn't synced allegedly. Who's they? The crew. Okay. Wasn't synced with the in stadium clock? Yeah. I think we have two different timelines going.

Because everybody, I mean, anybody who has saw the, everybody was pausing it. Yeah. Everybody saw the stills. And if you go based on those and the clock that you saw on TV, it was like, this is a no-brainer. And I think, I think the general consensus, I haven't seen a good argument that. it like, no, actually they got it right. Like there's a clip of like them showing like the replay guy down on the field showing like a Western Michigan player or fan or I don't know. Like his clock and how he has said one second, but.

The poor kids were celebrating. They thought that it had knocked off, you know, Michigan, perennial powerhouse, Michigan in their stadium first, you know, first game of the year. And then they just got their hearts ripped out. I feel bad for those kids. Yeah, it's the worst thing ever. It sucks. It's, it's, yeah. And then their conference dropped the, uh, the 80s that everybody was to call it, like

the, the blue font on black backdrop, um, you know, issued that little statement. And there was like, why did y'all use this font? Like, what is this? Like, this looks like it's from an 80s novel. If, if you, if you want to see some, uh, some reparations here, tune into, uh, Michigan OU games. I fully expect OU to absolutely dismantle Michigan. They have a really good defense.

I don't think Michigan is going to be. I don't see how Michigan scored. OU's defense is sick. It's very, very good. Yeah, it's going to be ugly. I think it's going to be ugly anyway. So that was probably the headline of the weekend. The other one is LSU Clemson.

This is the bummer of the weekend for me because I went, okay, I love to have my weekend and fun. This is after Texas State get home. I was like, fuck it. I went to Popeyes, got some wings. Got the wings, Randall. The good wings. Went back home.

I was like, I'm going to watch it because that game got delayed. Yeah. So I was like, this is perfect. I'm going to settle in. I'm going to eat some wings. This is going to be a great game. It's one of those games. You expect LSU to win because they had more talented team, ranked higher, all that, you know, Lane Kiffin's. You thought it'd be fun. But then again, you got Clemson, a recent two-time Natty winner. They've got some dudes. This might be a game, and it just was not a game. No, they looked. LSU looked unbelievable. The film watchers have been releasing some clips. There's a lot of O-line ones. And guys just, guys looking like they're washed media.

Like, dude's just like, what do you doing? One guy that snapped the ball, the guy just turns to the left. Like he's waiting for a blocker to run into him or something. And meanwhile, there's a blitzing linebacker that just goes right by his backside, like untouched. What are we doing here? Yeah, it's bad. Clemson's dead. I hate to say that Dabo like needs to get pushed out because he's in Gandhi territory, dude.

He won two Natty's like not that long ago. He's in, he's officially in game, passed him by, Gundy. Game has passed him by. And he was obviously more successful than Gundy, but you know what I'm saying? He's like, all right, you stayed too long. We've talked about it. He's very slow to embrace the NIL era. Where you can pay players and stack your roster.

You know, we're talking about Clemson here. Like, there's no reason they shouldn't take advantage of a situation like that. But he's very against it. They're cooked. If he doesn't adapt immediately and restack that roster, they're going to start. asking for him to get to get the hell out of there, which is crazy to say about a guy who has two natties. Crazy.

It might be too late. It might be too late. But yeah, they got Chad Morris back. When they were good when Chad Morris was there a long time ago, Chad Morris has been everywhere since Arkansas, Texas State. He was a wide receivers coach, I think, or an analyst at Texas State. Yeah, it is. It's ugly, man.

It's bad. It's real. bad. The quarterback stinks that they stink. They stink. I turned it off and put on Sicario. True story. Like Ellis it's, it is you ask yourself, is LSU that good?

That's the thing. Is Clemson or is Clemson that bad? I mean, they probably somewhere in the middle. They did everything. They were hype. They got their new coach. He's walking out with Theo Vaughn, Alex Earl. He's taking jump shots. You see him take a jump shot midgame, right? Like during an extra point attempt to have that turnover basketball hoop. Had the, had the post-game conference or his post-game speech or

halftime speech just happened to get released. I'm sure he had full... I totally agree that he either like set that up to get released. Because it was a staff member. Because the cameras pointed down recording and the guy is wearing like khaki pants and sneakers. Yeah. It's definitely like an assistant of

some sort. The guys you know there's like there's always characters that like you don't like and you're like, they're great for the sport. I'm glad that guy's exists. I'm glad that guy's back on the PGA tour, you know, even though I don't like him, whatever. I don't even know if that's where I'm out with Lane. I almost, I just am like,

I just don't like him at all. And I don't think he's good for the sport. And I'm like, yeah, I just don't really like what he's doing at all. Yeah. Being kind of a hater, and I've never been a foe to the LSU program. Famously got puked on it. It came in Baton Rouge. I mean, I like LSU is like, I like what they do there. But judging by the halftime speech, he's just, he's embracing the, like it's us against the world mantra that works. for a lot of kids. Look, it works, but also it's y'all against the world because, like, you guys were objectively in the wrong. It's the same with the Sorsby stuff.

Yeah. It's like, yeah, you guys weren't wrong by all these other conferences and, like, the Big 12th. You did this to yourself. Yeah. Those guys did not suit up, by the way. Yeah, I know. Yeah. Which doesn't really make a difference because those guys aren't like game changers. Right. Like, what, anyway. That said you was fucking fun. Yeah. I hope they're

Florida State kind of stinks. Mike Norville, another one of those coaches who think the fan base is growing a little bit tired of, a little bit impatient. He might be more cooked than Davo. Yeah, I think you're probably right.

They're like, all right, their offense is atrocious. SMU should have won that game. That game should have been over in the third. They had some egregious turnovers and mistakes like SMU did. And I was like,

Florida State ties it up, and I was going to, I was, I root for SMU just because Dallas, and I like their program a lot. I like, uh, Red Lashley, but like, I was like, if Florida State steals this game, I'm going to go to bed mad because I've been watching SMU. Kevin Jennings is so fucking fun. He's sick. He was sick in high school at South Oak Cliff. He's just like, he had one bad throw.

He had a bad pick, but like, he's awesome. Like, I don't know, I don't know what if this is like the, you know, his ceiling because he's not like a big dude or anything, but like he is, he is must see TV, I think. And I hope, and SMU's offense is just speed. They've got so much speed at every position. Yeah. Other teams that struggled, Oregon struggled against Boise State. Yeah. O'Miss did. Pack 12, dude. O'Miss didn't look great against Louisville, although Trinidad, Trinidad shameless, he found something there. That dude's, that dude's money. He's a gamer. That's like a, watching that, we've been to a game at Louisville famously. We have.

Good in-game atmosphere. I will say, like, I'm withholding because it was week one, and Louisville did go into that game, I think, top 25. It's expected to be like a fringe top 25 team. Louisville may end up being a team, you know, is like a three-loss team. Like that, so that may not be, you know, that indicative of Ole Miss being not great. But yeah, that last drive, Trinidad's,

he's up there with Kevin James and like the most fun quarterbacks, I think, to watch right now. But yeah, Decorian Moore. Nasty. Dungville, Texas, Randall. Nasty. Colin Simmons, had a good game. Early.

Yeah. Yeah. Back to Texas. Just name dropping Dunkinville guys. We'll talk more about the Texas Ohio State game later in the week. But I'm feeling okay. I have no clue what Ohio State did. Bowling Green, obviously dominated.

Ohio State, their O line looked a bit suspect. That's a problem. Yeah. Apparently the right tackle is the weak point, and Colin Simmons will have that assignment, so. Okay. That's not good for that. I'm hopeful.

You should be. Your wide receivers are just disgusting. Sausages blowing me up. He was blowing me up this morning, too. Just send one text. dude. Any other ball? Any other controversy? I mean, we had the power outage last night.

I thought that would be way more of like a weird game to watch than it was, and it wasn't weird at all. Teams that look great right now. Georgia, Ohio State, Texas, LSU, Miami. Those are my five clear best teams in the country. Tennessee looked really good. Oh, you looked good. A&M sort of looked good.

Their O-line had some troubles. They look good, though. I was talking about, like, you know, the top. I'm just going top, like 15, 10, 15 teams here. Indiana looked good. It's about it. Okay. Keel and Russell over there at the tide.

Bama looked good. Bama looked good. Yeah, we got to keep him up right. We got to get that O line down there at the tide, locked up. But yeah, we'll be all right. Ryan Williams, the guy who had the most drops in college football last year, decided to lose the gloves. He's going no gloves now, and he had two big drops.

Did have a good game, though. He did catch some balls and had a good game. but he had two pretty egregious drops. Yeah. Yeah. I saw that. Okay. You want to just save everything else for tomorrow?

Are we done with reads? Are we not? This is bad, this is, this is bad, I guess we are. We are. Yeah, let's save everything. That's a, that's a full running. Yeah. We got, we got wellness dardy tomorrow.

We got Norwalking. We got Elizabeth Holmes. We got Parks, had a little dust up at school. That's all tomorrow. I keep waiting for Will to bust to his door. Maybe we'll have him on tomorrow too. Maybe we'll have Will on tomorrow if he's still with the company. Yeah.

That's it. That's it for today. All right. Bye-bye.
