people i want to i want to just maybe get a little collection of teams that texas has killed and although the game hasn't happened yet i feel decent about the chances of it if it happened you've got the uh the jalen hurts action going over there yes good famously you said would be a terrible nfl quarterback uh he played for alabama and then oklahoma that is true right right i believe i called him an average on his best day. On his best day. Then he was in the Super Bowl. One drive away from winning.

Turns out he's a little bit above average. Good on Jalen Hurts. You ever done a tush push? You see that they do the tush push? Quite effective for the Eagles. I do it all the time. Very cool. Here's a guy.

Hey, hold on, Dylan. Here's a guy joining us live in studio. Can't say enough good things about him. I think the last time he did this show, he was behind the camera producing. May know him from the touching base days as producer Micah. Now I just know him as my good friend Micah. Hi, Micah. Hello, David. Hello, Dylan. Hello, Micah. It's so fucking good to have you here. That means a lot you know it's a real treat it is a treat thank you Dylan it's great to be here hi to Randy as well and I want to leave him out oh it's a pleasure uh it's better to have him on the ones and twos uh I hope I did

well when we when we did the little touching back flashback a couple months ago but yeah great or touching base touching back yeah yeah touching base that Touching back. Yeah. Yeah. Touching base. That's correct. Touching back is what I do at Dylan. I touch the small of his back. He does, right? Just gently support him down the stairs. Is that before or after the tush push? Jeez, dude.

You know so much I love it. It's kind of bringing the dirtiness. It's great to be here. And I'm just glad to be sitting next to you, Dave, because old hot tits over there is too attractive yeah that so i wasn't going to bring this up actually i was it's on the rundown uh micah famously this is the second time he's done this asked to sit next to me because he doesn't want to sit next to dylan because he's so handsome dylan i think y'all are giving me too much credit

right well no i'm i'm doing less of giving you credit and more of like saying how I have been slighted. Please stop. Please stop talking about it. Well, I did start the conversation with no offense, Dave. Yeah, but that's not a force field. I'm allowed to like penetrate such force field and say, hey, I'm offended.

I do appreciate the compliment, unintended or not. It means a lot. Thank you. Hey, Micah, quick question. Sure. What do I have to do? What does a fellow like me have to do to get on your social calendar and maybe hang out with you outside of the studio at some point?

Man, that is a great question. I know that you're a father of a young one. Correct. So you're a busy man. I get it. But still, we're boys, the whole thing. Yeah, no, I agree. Shouts to Jane, my four-month-old child who's not listening to the pod.

We don't know that. She might be. I don't think so. Okay. No, things are – I'm having a wonderful time. Let me start by saying that. I miss you. I miss you as well.

I miss you guys. I've been texting Dave as well. We keep talking about fried chicken and uniting for fried chicken at some point. We're foodies. I wouldn't say that, but yeah, it's a busy time. That being said, it's a bad excuse. The other thing is, and you mentioned Oklahoma and your team, the Texas Longhorns. My team, also 5-0. You're fighting Missouri Tigers. And I don't have a mug here, but if I did, I'm going to look right in this camera and tell those bozos from the state to the east of us that you're trash.

Wow. And we're going to smoke you just like I'm smoking boudin this weekend. You're smoking boudin? I am smoking boudin this weekend. You're smoking boudin? I am smoking boudin this weekend. For those who don't know which state resides to the east of Missouri. There would be other of them. Well, no, I'm talking about east of Texas. Oh.

The folks from Louisiana where we sit. Got it. Yeah, Missouri and Louisiana don't actually touch. LSU. LSU. Missouri. Good program. Sold out on Saturday.

Unfortunately, 11 o'clock kick. Same time as Texas OU. We're going to have to get the two TV thing going. We'll get together soon. I would love that. And then, you know, also, I'm happy for the Longhorns. I'm happy for my Tigers. Happy for your Tigers.

My wife's James Madison Dukes, 5-0 as well. They run shop in their – what are they playing? They're in the Sun Belt. Yeah, they are good. And your Bobcats are looking good. Your Cowboys are looking good. Knock on wood, because that I don't trust at all. But this could

be the greatest football season of our lives. Even our friend Will DeFries and his Michigan Wolverines are 5-0. Let me piggyback on that. Don't mention Purdue. Let's keep this straight and go. Randy's out on football for a number of reasons. You know what? Louisiana Lafayette. Raging Cajuns.

They're just Louisiana now, Dave. Whatever. You're about to get scratched up by them cats this weekend. Ooh, rare. Yeah. See what G.J. Kenny's done down there? I have. In just a short time. Two fingers towards San Marcos. Yeah. Rare. See what G.J. Kenny's done down there? I have. In just a short time.

Two fingers towards San Marcos. Yeah, that is the thing. It's confusing, right? No, actually, the ring finger points to San Marcos. Yeah, kind of. You got to suspend reality a little bit, you know? I mean, yeah. It's not a perfect Texas.

If you do it to a scale. Sure. We have a lot of fun. It's pretty accurate perfect Texas. If you do it to a scale. Sure. We have a lot of fun. It's pretty accurate, though. We have a lot of audience, Micah. Eat them up. Yeah. Well, I'm very happy for you.

Happy for you both. That OU mug is very nice. I hate to admit that it's a quality item. It might be like your best aesthetic mug. The OU is textured. It's really nice. It says Oklahoma on the inside, too. It does. Yeah, no offense to Alabama guy, but. It's really nice. It says Oklahoma on the inside too. It does.

Yeah, no offense to Alabama guy, but. It's got a good weight to it. That Bama mug's lacking. Can we shout out the T-man right now? Okay, yeah. Yeah, go ahead. By the way, I want to shout out two T-men because, well, I want to shoot out a D-man. Shout out a D-man.

What am I talking about? We don't know. Where's this going? Let's rewind this. This dude's cooking though. Let him cook. Shouts to T-man. What am I talking about? We don't know. Let's rewind this. This dude's cooking, though. Let him cook. Shouts to T-Man, our Oklahoma friend. Ha.

You know, best to him. He's probably not listening, but he came at Missouri's neck a few weeks ago. Missouri signed the number one or number two defensive player in the country. They didn't sign him. Well, they got the commitment. Thank you. Get a recruit to the buzzer, dude. Non-binding.

Got to recruit the whole time. And T-Man responded to a video of our coach who was wearing cargoes at the time, which for the record, I don't support. And he said, just imagine cargo shorts. And I had to correct T-Man that they were actually camo cargo shorts, which is worse, but shouts to us. I saw that video and I had a similar thought that T-Man did. Yeah, well, shouts to T-Man and shouts to D-Man, who's a backer who I work with, and that is his official nickname is D-Man. He's coming for you, Dave. Well, I'd like to see him try. He's a pretty big dude. I don't care. I fight dirty.

Rip his balls off. I'll let him know. Sorry, D-Man. You're probably a nice guy. I look forward to meeting you. Yeah, he seems like a great guy. Hey, the funniest thing you could do in 2014, maybe 2015, was Gangnam Style. If TFM posted a video, and it's like some guy's doing some stuff, and

one person in the video has cargo shorts on, the funniest thing you could do is be the top comment and just say, cargos. Yeah. It just completely ruined the video. Yeah, the video, it shorts on. The funniest thing you could do is be the top comment and just say cargoes. Yeah. And just completely ruin the video. Yeah, the video, it's toast. Yeah, it's like... We could have the best video ever on our hands,

but some dude's wearing cargoes. It's like, should we post this? We're going to get roasted for it. That's an actual conversation that was had. It's like, yeah, let's just... Someone's going to make fun of it. Let's just do it anyway. And then we would.

Cargoes would get the engagement up. Hey, dude, this guy's uh doing a chest lose should we post this oh bones oh we might see him here pretty soon yeah congrats to him by the way yeah recently married all squads growing up i i wasn't invited but i know randy was so or well i don't know if randy was invited but he was there he showed up either way yeah yes i was an usher at the wedding. I also split my pants. Shouts.

He does have that thing on him. He's got a wagon, man. He keeps it on him all the time. I know that that's like a thing with the Will Mommies. Every time I'm here, I'm taken aback by Dylan's handsomeness and that wagon. His thickness. His thickness and the wagon especially. It's dangerous.

I'm taken aback by Dave and his mustache as well. You don't have to just throw me a bomb there, buddy. You know, Will's beard is good. Brett is blonde. I mean, there's a lot of things happening here. You're just making casual observations. Yeah, I do have a mustache. Brett is blonde.

Will has a beard. It's good. It's good. Hey, have you noticed anything about this studio? Other than it's electric right now? We have a spider problem. Do you see these webs? Yeah.

Do you know what that indicates? I heard it's spooky season. Oh, baby. I can't do it like Will can. It's spooky season.

My dip call, dip line call was about the Spectrum feud with Disney, which has long since passed.

It's a moot point. I was upset though. I can imagine. Big shouts again to the blonde guy in the other room. That's Brett. That's Brett, who gave me his YouTube TV login and saved the day. A real, a true hero. Thank you for being a pirate

Oh. Which one? Yeah, fair. There's a lot of them to choose from. Well, thank you. Are you familiar with this stuff, this ongoing joke about dylan not really you know something about me is i've never done cocaine but these guys like to make cocaine jokes at my expense mainly will implying that i do a lot of it and i never have even done it once personally i don't like it cool i think can we talk about drinking in an airport let's okay can we can we talk about our good friends at draft kings first

yeah yeah are we going to talk about our good friends at DraftKings first? Yeah, yeah. Are we going to talk about our good friends at Early Bird today? No. Okay. But they are good friends. They are good friends. Apparently my dad's tried the product.

You can't put that on this pod. We love the guys at Early Bird.

Everybody does. Or Early Bird. It's an awesome product. And I do like one airport beer, preferably an IPA, and one half of an Early Bird about 30 minutes before takeoff. I agree. This was a young lady who wrote in, said that she was high at the airport bar. I don't know if I want to get high at the airport.

Right. I like a microdose. I might panic a little bit if I were high, but Early Bird, you're right, it is perfect. It's just a nice little, just ease you into it. The last time I flew with my wife, I walked back, I disappeared for a little while. I went and got a sandwich.

I had a beer. I came back and she goes, what's that look on your face? And I said, what look? And she's like, did you have an IPA? And I said, yes. Oh my God. She said, did you eat half an early bird? And I said, yes. She goes, ah, okay. I get it. That's so cute. She knows you quite well. She does. How many years y'all been together? A number. Many, yeah. Man, that's crazy. After all these years, she knows when you're in sicko mode. That's so cute. Do you guys have a go-to drink at the airport?

It depends on how close I am to the flight. Because as you know, I'm a bladder boy. I pee-pee a lot. And if I've got a flight in 30 minutes, I'm not drinking like a 16-ounce beer. I can't. I don't want to pee on the plane my goal is to not have to pee especially like on when you're still um you're not even at cruising altitude like that's that's bush league so i will drink a maybe a bourbon on

the rocks if it's decent are you on the uh david brooks diet tell me oh spending 88 including tip and complaining about it? I like one beer in the airport, but when I'm on the plane, I like to do a cocktail. I'm extra cocktail. Bourbon and water, usually. Oh. Fuck yeah. I'm a ginger ale boy on the plane.

It's the only place that I drink ginger ale. Not the alcohol? It's the sugar. The sugar play. No, I agree. I don't typically enjoy soft drinks with hard, or soft drinks at all, but certainly not with hard liquor, except on the airplane. I like ginger ale. Okay. With Crown, preferably.

I like it. What's your go-to ginger ale? Verner's or Canada Dry? I'm a Canada Dry boy. I'm a Verner's guy. I don't have a preference. Because of the sugar again? Ginger ale is very, very tasty.

Don't get me wrong. You're sneaky, a thief of joy. Yeah. What about a sugar-free ginger ale? Is that something you can go for? You don't really drink diet sodas, do you? I drink a Diet Coke. I have about two a week, and I love them very much.

Do you have a button for that? Yeah, I hit my Diet coke button you mash the diet coke button yeah twice a week and then brett just comes and brings you one only out of a soda machine though i don't do it out of a bottle or a can am i crazy it's a waste oh so you like a fountain diet so yeah okay um if i'm at the airport chilies um hopefully i'm at the lovefield airport because lovefield love feels goaded um i like to do even though they don't do the original chicken crispers anymore i like to do their updated chicken crisper and i like to do one full early bird this is not a this is not an ad read but it is true it is how i'll do the full one and it doesn't it's perfect for

flying i do the same day good does the uh airport chili still do the full one. And it's perfect for flying. I do the same, Dave. Good. Does the airport Chili's still do the shot in a beer special? That I don't know. I've never been shot in a beer guy. I'd like to be. I'm generally not that guy. But at the airport, and especially at that Chili's for a long time, you get a beer and they're like, do you want to add a shot for $4?

And of course you do. Yeah, you have to do it. Especially if you're a small bladder boy. Yeah. Or bang for your buck. There it is. Yeah, shot in a beer guy seems like he hangs out on the east side of Austin

and has cool tats. I guess I'm not that guy. Okay. You're proving me wrong. Not that guy, pal. Micah, did you notice anything when you came into the office, maybe across the street,

some work being done? Oh, I did. Okay. I did. Food truck. Food truck park? Well, truck. Food truck park? Well, yes. Park, eh. They have yet to actually park a trailer there. So we're just, we're champing at the bit right now. We're champing. Do we think it's just one food truck or? We think two. This could be a two situation. It's maxed out at two. There's no way it's more

than two. So they ran an electric a couple weeks ago, and they put two electric boxes that extend out from the ground side by side, which makes me think it's set up for two different trailers. That's my thinking on it anyway. So we're horny. Do you think they're going to build like a structure? No. Or just like a shade structure or something? They have one.

They have a shade. I don't know what you call them. It's like the, I don't know if it's vinyl, tarp, like high-end tarp, but it's still like the, probably the cheapest way

to cover something like that. Yeah. Okay. Because for a long time there was a coffee trailer there. Picnic. And it's gone. This whole thing apparently

is going to be condos in the next five years. I can believe that. For now, trying to make a little money, getting their beak wet, doing the food truck thing. Cool. Yeah. Who doesn't like a food truck? I'm curious where you stand, because I do know some people who despise the food truck. They just

think the whole concept is gross. I'm curious where you stand on food trucks in general, and I just want your official prediction of what might end up there. Best case, worst case scenario. Okay. I I'll start by saying I, I, uh, when it was picnic now, granted you guys were close enough that you could bring your coffee over here. It was one of the least appealing food trucks to me. Uh, picnic being one of those like butter coffee. That was sort of their specialty. I love that coffee. It's 110 degrees. There's no shade. I don't want coffee after like – like if I could get the coffee at 7 a.m. and get in my car, sure. And the coffee was good.

$12. But like when I drive by at 9 o'clock and it's 102 and it's full sun, that is an unappealing food truck situation for me. So I hope that they have some shade at the new situation. Okay. for me. So I hope that they have some shade at the new situation. And then, you know, part of going to a coffee shop to get coffee is you're going to sit and relax and be in a pleasant environment. And it was far from it. I don't know what's coming, but there could be, there's a, there's a new food truck that seems to be popping up all over Austin called Ziki. Are you familiar with this? There's one down the road. Yeah, there's one down the road.

There's one in the drip, actually. I hate the branding. It's so loud. It is very loud. You don't like the lips? No. I also don't like the ordering system. They don't talk to you.

It's all electronic. You have to order online. Yeah. It's all electronic, and they just open the window. They set your food out. And they shut the window. They don't even say your name? Yeah. They don't even give you the D school. You're saying Dylan?

Dylan likes small talk. I like to make eye contact with the person handling my food. Sure. So, yeah. I know there's one down. So it would be unlikely they would put another one there. But that wasn't a thing that existed six months ago. And now there's like 12 of those.

So food's not bad, though. I 12 of those. Food's not bad though. I have had it. Food's not bad. I would agree. Gosh, I don't know. I mean, best case, the thing that I see popping up that seems to be pretty appealing are like the,

and it's sort of counterintuitive, but it's like these Mexican ceviche trucks. So you've got to make sure you've got power there so you can keep your your product cold enough okay sure but i mean don't tell me you wouldn't want to go over there and get a tostada a hit on the tostada around your lunch break i mean that that sounds yeah that sounds great oh i would eat that for sure yeah it sounds really good chile yeah that. Yeah, that too. That's good.

Yeah, I don't know, man. I could see a lot of people not being like super stoked to try ceviche from a food truck. But more of them are popping up. Okay. Sort of like sushi at the airport. Well, we're horny for it. So we'll have to have you over. What are you guys hoping for? Totally bricked up.

I don't know, man. What are you bricked up for i i already said this but like a uh like a something like vert's e oh you know your boy loves vert you know your boy loves vert boy loves vert something like that like a healthy bowl option with some protein in it i was hoping for like for q personally there's a cute trailer right here that's really good. I just want like somebody who really knows what's going on with the deep state.

And I kind of just want to go pay a nominal fee and they'll kind of give me the rundown of like what's really happening. Like draining the swamp. Things of that nature. I would like to know

what the Q people are, what they're talking about these days. They, you know, like where are they? Good question. City council meetings. Some of the things that they were expecting.? Good question. City council meetings.

Some of the things that they were expecting. School board meetings. Some of the things that they were expecting to happen just didn't happen. Ah, you got away, buddy. I'm just not sure how you bounce back from that. I don't know. But I'd love to. I'm kind of interested to know how you carry on.

Does Q end up on Celebrity Rehab or like The Voice? Probably not The Voice, Dave. Okay, not The Voice. But what's the, oh, the mask singer. Now that would be, I, I, you, I would, you could sign me up for that. Didn't they have Rudy on there? Yeah, they had a, and I'll never forget March 11th or March 12th, 2020 as COVID is taking root. Uh, the mass Singer is on in my house. And Sarah Palin comes out and does Baby Got Back. And then they cut from that to immediately to da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

Breaking News Alert, where the president gave a speech about COVID. Damn. And Tom Hanks and everything. Like, it was a weird thing. So, yeah. Memorable show. Was she bussing? Hard to say.

I don't recall. I forgot about that. It was our ongoing global pandemic. Yeah. Okay. Well, I'm just hoping for something that's not

$15 coffee. That's all I'm saying. Are you guys excited about the eclipse coming? This guy's bricked up. Tell me about it, darling. October, was it 14th? Yes.

It is what's called a, what's the term for it? I forget. It's not, so it's when the moon is in a faraway part of its orbit. So it's going to appear smaller. And for that reason, it's not going to fully cover up the sun. So if the moon were closer in, it would cover up the sun, but not this time. So it will be an eclipse, but not a full one. I believe you're looking for annular. Annular. Thank you.

Also known as the ring of fire eclipse. That's sick. Because when it's directly over the sun, you can still see the sun around the moon as it is far away. The moon, that is. Can you look directly at it? No. Okay. What if, let's say we get a guy in that White House. He walks out there on that front lawn, looks right at it.

If you're the commander-in-chief, you may look right at the sun. And nothing happens. And just kind of invalidates years and years of scare tactics from teachers. If you have a welding mask laying around, I don't. That'll work. You'll be surprised

to learn that I don't. You don't. Okay. They've started selling the glasses that look like the 3D movie theater glasses at several places

around Dripping Springs because we're apparently a little further west is in better, it's better view. Yeah. Texas is one of the states in line with the the the most eclipsy of the moon's pattern and apparently the eclipse coming in april

is going to put this eclipse to shame the uh the dripping springs chamber of commerce is expecting like 300 000 people to be there for it that's lit that's a place i i've looked into it that is lit yeah you maybe we should have a party in my house did you guys oh we could do the shoebox thing did you ever cut the hole in the shoebox no i'm dude like that i don't trust it what randy it's funny about that nothing you thought i was going to say something else you know putting like the sponges in the pringles can oh jesus what thought you were just gonna do it people know that that's randy's deal i don't know what that means open the box girl that was a thing when you're a kid because you don't want to look at

it you cut get a shoe box take the top off yeah so you can see the shadow go across the other side of the shoe box oh it's a pretty bootleg way to watch an eclipse. I don't want to do it that way. I'll just get my JT Pate mall mask and just put it on and look up, take my chances. Throw some Maui gyms on with croquis. Hey, Micah, do you respect space? Sure, yeah. Do you? Or are you just saying that to appease me?

Space is cool. I mean, I'm not as into it as you are, but- Fucking A-right it is. I just want you to respect it. You're being a little aggressive to our guest. I mean, I'll be honest. I try not to think about it. It's very big.

The overwhelming nature of our universe gives me anxiety. And how insignificant we are here on Earth. Correct. Yeah. Correct. Take an early bird. Take two of them. Then go think about that.

Look straight up. That's the last thing I'm going to do. Start thinking about it. No offense, Dave. That's okay. i'm glad you respect space yeah shouts to the astronomers out there did we just low-key sneak a space bar into this episode we did micah brought it up thank you thank you micah talk about our friends at better help this This show is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Speaking of circling, when we were on this podcast a few

months ago, I suggested the hand motion. You did. It didn't catch on. Has that caught on? Micah, I can't leave the house without getting just the finger motion. It's crazy. leave i can't leave the house without getting just the finger the finger motion it's crazy i just i i really think it's good um and i i wish it would would become a little more popular where instead of saying fuck you dorn to dylan when you see him in in public you just i would go you know you know throw the the pat riley circle while in public i would appreciate a finger twirl over a fuck you dorn um i don't know if you want to open that Pandora's box. What do you mean?

You want just random backers just twirling fingers at you? Yeah. Okay. I think it'd be sick. I mean, I know you guys are going to be at ACL all weekend. The next two weekends, so probably have a few run-ins with backers. Dylan's going all six days. And after parties.

That would take me out. I went all three one time, my first year in Austin. Dylan's going all six days. And after parties. That would take me out. I went all three one time, my first year in Austin. We used to get those three-day passes from Grand X, which was great. It was a nice perk. I would go Friday for three or four hours, and then Saturday morning I'd wake up planning to go, but I just can't do it. And I would just waste the next two days on my wristband.

Total waste of money. Yeah. Same. Here's the question people want to know. How does Michael Weiner fix Team USA Ryder Cup? Go ahead. Analytics. Okay.

Okay. I've heard a lot that the Europeans have really embraced analytics and that they set up the course in a manner that would give them an advantage. And thankfully, in two years at Bethpage Black, I believe. Correct. You should go. We will have that advantage. I would love to go.

That's how far is that from where your wife? I don't think super far. OK. I may be wrong about this, but. Farmingdale, New York. Yeah, I don't know. I think it's, it's doable anyway. Uh, you know, our friend Mark Allen went to the Ryder cup, um, I think like five years ago and said it was the greatest experience he'd ever had in a sporting event. They,

they dressed up like the founding fathers with jackets and wigs. And, uh, he said they drank a lot of 9% alcohol beers and just had a great time and were on camera and were loaded and it sounds fun. Is there anything better than being loaded on camera? In costume? In costume. Yeah, I, you know, and our guys should probably play better.

That's true. You know, the Euros, as I'm going to affectionately refer to them, I hope that's not a derogatory slur. I think you're fine. Okay, just checking. The Euros, their game, they play a lot more of the alternative ball, alternative shot structure. That's not a thing that American players do as much.

It's not a thing that the fellas, we sit in this room, we're going to play Wolf, we're going to play two-on-two best ball. We're not going to play alternative stroke. That's just kind of a weird thing to do here culturally. And so the Euros took advantage of that. And you know what? I'm going to say it. And it's not because I like Patrick Cantlay. These guys should get paid.

This thing generates millions and millions of dollars. We can hit them with a stipend. Hit them with something. Right now, they only get, and I know it's the way it's always been, they've done 44 of these things, and they get a donation in their honor. Just pay the guys.

You don't have to pay them each a million bucks, but, you know, break them off something. Break them off something. Break them off something. And or just make it like winner take all. That's cool, too. Like, say there's a $5 million pot and the winning team gets it and the losing team gets nothing. All right.

Yeah. But these guys should get paid. I mean, I know they get treated fine, but it doesn't make sense. And then the final thing I would say. It is their job. It is their job. But, well,, but they're, well, yes, they should get paid to do their job. Yeah.

You know, the other thing is American players shouldn't be taking five weeks off before the Ryder Cup. Facts. And a lot of the European players were playing, I think it was the Scottish Open. They were much more active. Our guys played the Super Bowl and then played a game five weeks later,

and that's just not going to be bringing their best. Dylan, if you had to choose one person in this office to alt-stroke with, who would it be? Of course, Dave's making a horny play here. I'm going to choose Micah. Thank you, Dylan. I've worked on my game a little bit, and I've got a swing thought that has changed. I'm keeping the ball straight and I'm

hitting my great iron shots. I don't want you hitting it straight. I need that necky burner. I know you like that big left to right action. I like you setting up about 40 degrees this way. I don't need to do that anymore. It's like a Stingers. It's a pull down motion that I think about. Like you're- Pull on the garage door shut? The garage door. Yes. That's your first move when you make on I think about. Pull on the garage door shut? The garage door, yes. That's your first move on the way down is you pull the garage door shut, so that way you can't come over the top.

There you go. And it's made a big difference in my ball striking. I need more swing thoughts going into this weekend. I've got about 12 in there now. You just need one. I've got about five more. I'm going to try. I've got to hurt the you-

Are you playing for money? Yes. Yeah, big money. I stand to take home a couple hundred dollars oh i'm kind of disappointed you want alt stroke with me i'll alt stroke with you dave what is it about my game that doesn't lend itself to alternate stroke oh fucking alternate stroke with you okay first of all he wants to sit next to the ugly guy and then dylan won't alt stroke with his boy like what's fucking next hey could people gas me up in the comments or whatever it is do we can't we don't do comments we should you can find a way to comment yeah just uh yeah

email brett at washmedia.com tell him hey you're the blonde guy right you can give him the number to call if you want to you know 888 yeah 888-618-. Yeah, 888-618-4422. Again, 888-618-4422. That's now called the Dave Ruff gas line. It's the gas, Dave. Please don't. I have to check these. Somebody gas Dave.

Oh, I don't want to hear you guys gassing me up about my physical. You're everybody's favorite, Dave. Dude, no. I'm nobody's favorite. I don't know, man. It's a bit. Where do you guys want to go from here? Because I've got a couple of things I have,

uh, did, but do you get, I'm sorry, but do you guys have thoughts on how to fix the Ryder cup or did I just, it's good. You got to find people that are good hangs. There's no good hangs on team USA.

If you think about it, who on team USA, are you like, dude, I want to fucking go have a, an airport beer with who you gotta have. You gotta have some killers. You can't have these dorks who are playing well at the time. You have a killer in there brooks is the killer he didn't show up did he

did okay i mean he did get boat raised him and scotty but they put him with scotty scotty scotty's not alpha he's not a killer scotty's number one in the world but he's not a killer it's weird it's a weird thing yeah brooks should have been that guy. They kind of cucked Brooks by sticking him with Scottie. Anyway. It's a good duo, though. I want Shane Lowry's. I want dudes, Tommy Fleetwoods, that you look at and you're like, oh, dude, I bet those guys are having fun.

Even off the course, those guys are just going to go out, get an IPA. Yeah, I don't want a guy that's going to hit the range after a round and fix something. I want a guy who's going to go to the bar and just get lit. meet me at the 19th uh shouts to shane lowry who i have on on good authority uh is a fun hang yes i was at a lifetime downtown a few months before the del match play and he was working out next to me wow did you say hi did he recognize you did he do the finger thing he said fuck you dorn it Dorn. I was like, oh, shit. I'm going to hear that a lot this weekend.

Oh, fuck you, Dorn. Oh, fuck you, Dorn. Get the fuck out of here, Dorn. Apparently, he's a very good hang. My buddy, Peter, the Irish guy, ironically, linked up with him every year at the match play and his brother. And they have a lot of fun. There it is. It checks out. Shouts to Pete.

Shouts to Pete. Shouts to Pete. You guys are animal owners. You guys own dogs. Stella. I have a dog too, Randy. Micah, you have a dog. Charlie. Charlie, Randy, and Stella.

Can I ask a question? Does your dog do this? This may be something that's very common. But last night, and this is something that's very common, but last night, and this is something that happens probably once a month, whether I forget to take him out or leave him out long enough before bedtime, I take my dog Randy out, let him go out there, do his business, come in, get a little water, maybe give him a treat. Then we go to bed. Randy typically sleeps on the foot of the bed, but we'll start

there, but end in his dog bed and then just kind of move around. Does your dog wake you up by just kind of sitting there right next to you and staring at your face until you like feel the presence and wake up and you've got a fucking big old dog snout in your face like doesn't even make any noise until like if it becomes like a 10 minute thing then it'll start making noises like the groaning thing i'm curious if this is a golden thing because randy did it to me twice last night the groaning thing or like that like oh still we'll do like a high pitch like randy's not a whimper uh no stella doesn't do that but dude he'll just sit there and stare at me and like it's so weird that you can make a cute you can it is cute but dude it's so it's a weird feeling where does your

dog sleep uh my dog sleeps either in her crate or uh since the baby's come we've gotten more lax and she sleeps on the dog bed in the living room how How's that friendship developing? It's good. I have some videos I'll show you. It's a very cute situation. I love that. But yeah, Charlie is a cavapoo, for those who don't know. And she's precious and we love her. She's a good girl.

She's a good girl. And she will look at me on occasion, but like when I'm taking a nap, perhaps on Sunday, after the witching hour has passed. Sometimes I like to get a little shut eye for about, you know, 45 minutes to an hour. And I will often wake up and she'll be on my chest just staring at me. So, yeah. Yeah.

Stella will rest her chin on my leg when I'm laying on the couch or something. I love that. They say that's a sign of love. Oh, yeah. It is. Affection. So Randy's clearly in the recognizing that his mom, or Alyssa, his owner, is pregnant with child again.

So he's starting to do the mega cute, put the head on the lap, put the head near the belly, kind of like, oh, we're doing this again, huh? Great, can't wait. He can definitely wait. One is a lot for him. Two, we're about to be a movie. It's a boy, by the way.

Rhodes, Will is about to... I'm gonna have two lads, three lads with Randy. Damn. Just contributing to the patriarchy. Man. Just one human at a time at my house it's just me and three ladies now just the opposite yeah

how about that how about that yeah awkward pause do you have a name for your child you want to share it here no i don't we're we've got one that we like i think i would get in big trouble if i were to share don't share no i No, I won't. I made the mistake. Hopefully, my mom is not listening, but I made the mistake of a name we really liked, throwing that out to the fam. Oh, yeah. I can't do that.

That was really dumb. And you'd think I'd learn from the first time around. I didn't. Big dum-dum here. Hand up. Yeah, we knew that. Are you going to name this one Dusty? No, probably not.

Dusty Rhodes? Then you'll have Dusty and Rhodes. No, we were thinking Randy Rhodes. May he rest in peace. I have one neighbor who's super into metal, and he brings that up. Like, I see him once a week. He's like, oh, how's Randy Rhodes doing?

I'm like, Randy's my dog, Rhodes. We didn't name our kid after Ozzy's guitar player. Well, I was lost there. Yeah, it's not a reference that 99 of our audience is familiar with but luckily micah here went through a big metal phase that's not really true but you know i'm going off the rails on this crazy train right now look at that that's really good dylan i was pretty you may not get that but that's what he did there the crazy train is a very popular song yes it's a's a great Texas State Jim Wackerfield third down song.

Can we talk about third down songs? Yes. Okay. What is the horn sound? Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da. Oh, that's the – who's the closer for the Mets? Eduardo Diaz? Sure.

Yeah, yeah. Is that it? Can you pull this up? I mean, I should know who this is. Probably not. So like last year, Mizzou did this on Third Down, and it was when the song was like kind of fresh, and it was pretty lit. It would be lit for Third Down. People are going now.

I watched games on Saturday. Like half the schools in America are playing this on Third Down. Oh, Timmy Trumpet. Timmy Trumpet from – The song's called Narco. Narco by Blaster Jacks, Timmy Trumpet. Timmy Trumpet from a song that's called Narco. Narco by Blaster Jacks and Timmy Trumpet. It is quite a tune.

But like, we're a year late now. Like, Mizzou was playing Vanderbilt and they were playing on third downs in a half-empty stadium at,

what time was the game? Like, you know, it's not lit. At night, when Edward Diaz, Edwin Diaz is sprinting in from the bullpen and timmy trumpet is playing that down we're talking it's a little situation it was like when uh the university of

tennessee did third down for what about a decade ago do you remember that that's lame it's just like it's played out man you got to get a new song uh i think a wall nation still gets a lot of buzz. Zombie Nation. Zombie. Not that. He's still doing it. You didn't sing this much on Touching Base. None of us did. Well, you know, your boy found his voice.

You really did. I'm glad. I'm proud of you. Do you guys want to do some karaoke? I haven't done karaoke in like two years, I think. What? That's weird for you. There's not a lot of karaoke options out in the drip.

No, I'm not a karaoke guy. Can you tell your tail-end COVID karaoke story? Which one was that? It's the one where you were asked to leave. Oh, yeah. I think that's the last time I did COVID. Or I did COVID. It wasn't the last time I did COVID. But the last time I did karaoke was, I think it was like two years ago. And I went into Ego's, my favorite place to do karaoke. And it had been a long time since I had gone then. And they had a wireless mic and I took it into the crowd and started, you know, I went off, as the kids say.

You're a showman. They stopped me halfway through the performance and said, you must leave. You are, uh, you are violating COVID protocols. Man, a wireless mic, it prevents you from doing your signature move where you use slinging over your arm. Yeah. Yeah. But it, it, it comes good and bad. Cause then you can go get right in strangers faces and yell. Do you remember the song you were doing? Really, in all fairness, I'm sure it was a COVID violation. I'm sure I was walking up to strange tables and singing at the top of my lungs. I don't.

I think it might have been Mixed Emotions by the Rolling Stones. I think that's your go-to. Which, yeah, it was. It was. You're not the only one with mixed emotions. You can't hit those notes. You're damn right. Try.

Dylan's found his voice. Yeah. He doesn't have to find Mick Jagger's. I can't do Mick. I was eating barbecue in Tarrytown. There you go. That was funny. His people go to him before every show.

They're like, all right, there's this place called Franklin's. And it's over on the east side of town if you want to shout him out. And people will be like, oh, he really loves Austin. I go, okay, yeah. And he does it. It's great. And everybody goes crazy. Like, oh, I can't believe you shouted out Hat Creek and Cedar Park.

Did you guys go see drake no i no i had some co-workers that went to drake and uh they told me he was like yeah drake loves austin i'm like oh really how do you know that because we all know drake does love houston and uh yeah he's long supported houston but drake sort of loves everywhere that's kind of his bit you know like when kentucky is good at basketball drake's wearing kentucky and doing warm-ups like this is he's kind of a bandwagon guy but he's like oh no no no seriously i know he loves austin like okay why is it different when he got to the part in the show where he makes fun of the city he's in in austin he didn't make fun of it he just shouted

it out said i love it dude he must he's gonna move here he's moving to houston oh allegedly he's probably gonna get a place here that's great i love that that's like something tells me that like drake probably does that everywhere he's like you know cleveland this is the part in the show where i make fun of the city i'm in but i won't make fun of cleveland i love cleveland no i got too much mad love for austin and cleveland two of the best cities on the planet that's right y'all ever been to cleveland no no i don't know i might have drove through it on the way to uh oh yeah girl fools we do love ohio though here you watch media oh you're i thought it was ohio against the world though well we're putting an office a satellite office there we're big fans of ohio we never make fun of it at all. Anyway.

Anyway. Man, I feel like I'm really disrupting this podcast. No. You're doing great. This is great, dude. Not in a good way where it's like I'm a technology guy who's a disruptor in the space. I'm just – No, you're not.

You're doing great. I don't feel good about my performance so far. No, I'm telling you. This has been good. Do you want to take a Lucy? I might perk you up a bit. Oh, let's give a shout out i'm unfamiliar with friends at lucy dylan what a freaking this guy this guy's been learning are you familiar with uh these 100 tobacco-free nicotine pouches micah yes yes i've seen these products lucy is a sponsor of this podcast and

i and they sent us a bunch and I have fallen in love with them. Really? I've tried three different flavors. They have a mango, which is fantastic, a mint. Okay, so they have a pouch, a breaker, and gum. The breaker is my favorite so far. What is a breaker? There's a little flavor capsule inside, and you bite into it, and it kind of clicks, and it releases the flavor.

Then you lip it. Your palate just is loving it. You get dialed. You get focused. So a pouch, a breaker, and what was the third thing? Gum. You chew it for 15 seconds and then you just put it in your, like to activate it and you put it in your lip.

You get dialed. Give you a little energy boost. They're great, man. Freaking love them. Yeah. Oh, I got to try this apple ice. I don't even know what that is. Oh, I tried that one yesterday.

Is it as dope as it sounds? Also good. Okay. Fantastic. Lucy is higher quality than other pouches that we've tried. Taste is amazing. The flavors are outstanding. Like Dylan said, Dylan, I have not personally tried the breaker yet, but I might do that after this. I've got to write my newsletter contribution today, and maybe I'll do that. They have an espresso flavor uh

You're going to like the way you look. Hey, real quick, I don't know, Dylan may punt yours to this weekend at Fun. That's fine. Is that cool with you?

I saw something and it made me think back to the conversation we had with my dad on Spooky Season. Spoiler alert, we called my dad his first appearance on a podcast, I believe. He crushed it, by the way. He did. Does he have a ghost story? He's got a UFO story, a recent UFO story. I now know where David got the content gene from, Michael. You should meet my mom.

Subscribe. You shouldn't meet my mom. I feel like I have. You have met my mom. Haven't you? Yeah. Surely. Yeah.

Have you met my mom? Yeah. Very cool. Road's birthday, John. Road's birthday. Ah, his birthday, John. Yes. Great party.

We ordered pizza. We got Toys R Us planting some brick and mortars. They're coming back. You know, they went out of business. They filed for bankruptcy a few years ago, and it was really sad because, like, I think they posted Jeffrey the giraffe, like, walking out with, like, a box with his stuff. Like, he just got laid off. Did Bezos kill it? Yeah.

He fucking did. He's killing these brick and mortars everywhere. He kills a lot of things, but luckily we've got spirit Halloweens to fill in for that void. But I saw this and I thought, well, this is interesting because they're rolling out Toys R Us at airports and cruise ships as well. Yeah, you've been on a cruise ship. You ever done a cruise? No. You didn't go on the EDM cruise famously.

I did not. You missed out. I heard it. It sounded fun. It was a lituation. How would a Toys R Us, how would that have impacted your cruise situation? I probably would not have stopped into a toy store as I was an adult on an EDM cruise. Okay.

But you could see you getting tweaked out on some 2CB and going and buying some toys. Yeah. Just picking up some juguetes. Yeah. Some Lincoln Logs or something some legos a yo-yo perhaps a yo-yo yeah big yo-yo guy i've seen the video we're getting one at dfw by the way we're getting a uh the world's second busiest airport famously we're getting a holiday seasonal toys r us is the airport the kind of seasonal where you stop in for a toy, though? Maybe for your kid, if your kid's like, you know.

Yeah, I guess so. Freaking shit on the plane before you get on there. You get limited space when you're flying. You can't buy Scrabble. You know what I mean? Yeah. What do you get, like a Ouija board? You can get some trinkets, some tchotchkes.

Scrabble comes in a box, though. It's not a cracker barrel. Yeah, I mean, you're not going to play it on the plane. The box is fucking big. Okay. You know what I mean? Like, it's limited space. You could fit that in an overhead compartment.

Yeah, you can. I just, I also think that if you come back from, like, a business trip and you bring your kid Scrabble, they're going to be disappointed. Right. I love Scrabble. That's why I said that. I do really like that idea, though. You get back. You forgot to get them something in Cleveland.

You missed your kid's birthday. You missed your kid's birthday because you were in Cleveland with the boys. On a golf trip. Show up with chutes and ladders, and suddenly you're a hero. You're not the guy who missed the birthday again for the second year in a row. You're the guy who showed up with Lincoln Logs. Right. Very cool.

All is forgotten. What does it say about me that I am too connected to my toys from my childhood? I'm curious. This might be a better help thing. But my dad mentioned that he had found a bunch of my Jurassic Park toys from when I was a kid. What are those? You still got one? That's the song.

Yeah. Banger of a soundtrack. Very recognizable tune. You know, he's like, what do you want me to do with these? You got these dinosaurs. You have like this dinosaur outpost with like a fence. It's very cool. I was like, well, don't throw them away.

Don't do that. He's like, yeah yeah maybe roads will want him like yeah so he was nice enough to wash them um clean them up didn't like put them through like the dishwasher or anything but cleaned them up and sent me a picture i'm like those look badass lissa's like where are we what are we doing with those she's like those are gonna sit in a box in the garage forever i'm like you know what you probably right. You do the opposite of what I do. So Parks, he's eight now, and he's not as into toys as he used to be. If he has a toy that he just doesn't play with anymore, it will very quietly disappear,

and it'll find its way to a donation pile or the trash if it's like, you know. I don't keep that stuff at all. My thought is maybe it's just the dylan and parks effect just because knowing how much parks loves dinosaurs but i i love dinosaurs not as much as parks but there were a lot of kids who were super in dinosaurs i think that's perfectly normal i'm like damn what if he becomes dinosaur kid like parks yeah and i'm like oh you want some uh some dinosaur toys from 1994 he blows a little mind with it they don't work the battery thing's rusted out but they are kind of cool looking yeah i get it like i wish i had a little bit more of that in me i just i don't yeah yeah that's okay you got too much dog in you well yeah are you more of a dog than me

because you'll throw out toys yeah fuck yeah like dogs if i if i bring a toy up to parks he hadn't played with in you know six months i'll be like hey do you want to keep this he'll say yeah but if i just if it quietly goes away you low-key he'll never know you low-key trash that bitch he'll never know that it's gone yeah until he listens to this podcast he's gonna listen to all of them back and he's gonna get to this one once i'm like wait wait a minute anyway i'm glad you do that though dave yeah roads will appreciate it i'll put them they'll go in the attic yeah that's where they that's where the toys go yeah and it'll be sad and i'll think about toy story 3 i wonder if i got parks a regular nintendo if he would appreciate it

given that the graphics will stink compared to today's... He has an Xbox that he plays with. I mean, if you get Tecmo Super Bowl, I'll come over. I'll throw everything on Lawrence. You can't be Bo Jackson. Lawrence Taylor, you can't run on Lawrence. I was always the Giants. Bo Jackson and Lawrence Taylor, for whatever

reason... Actually, I was always the Bills. Three times faster than everyone else in the game, and it made no sense it's unfair that game is so sick that's like the one toy at my parents house that i'm looking for like sometimes when i'm over there and and i'm trying to avoid being around my family i'll just start digging around looking for my old nes yeah and i it i haven't found it yet you can buy like a modern version of it the simulator it's like a you can just plug right in sam randy knows they'll say like a small like a it looks like the regular one but it's condensed yeah yeah just a little hard the one the official nintendo one doesn't have tecmo super bowl on it i think it has tecmo bowl which isn't yeah

the switch the switch is good for for a lot of vintage NES games, but there's a lot not on there. You only get Super Punch-Out. So Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, not on there. Oh, I see. Probably a lot of licensing issues and just stuff that they don't own the rights to anymore. How could anyone beat Mike Tyson in that game? He was just throwing uppercuts.

Just a barrage of uppercuts. Just cleaning my clock, man. He was a one-hitter quitter. Oof. Terrible. All right. Y'all want to stop and go outside, do this weekend of fun? Yeah.

All right. Now it is time for this weekend in fun presented by Alpha Romeo Tonale. We are live from a Tonale right now. I'm sitting in the driver's seat. Randy's sitting next to me. I got the boys in the back. Man, this thing is loaded with tech. It's the all-new Tonale.

It's so nice. It's the nicest car I've been in in a long, long time. It's got the safety tech, the automatic emergency braking. It's got the touchscreen that I was just messing around with. And also, it's fun to drive. You get that alpha performance, which is exactly what you're looking for.

Italian exterior and interior design. It's very, very unique. It stands out. Dylan, have you got a chance to drive this thing yet? I have, Dave. I love it. It's a lot of fun. However, I still have a few functions to figure out.

A lot of tech, like you said. A lot of fun to drive, though. It's a plug-in hybrid, Dave. But for me, it's the Italian craftsmanship, you know? learn more about the alfa romeo tonale at alfa romeo usa.com we love it shout out alfa romeo do you guys have a promo code sadly no you do not get a percentage off of the this vehicle unfortunately i will say this is a very nice this this vehicle is extremely nice i'm not even angry that i'm sitting even closer to dylan and right next to a camera so that the difference in our appearances is readily available for the people out there. But, yeah, this is nice. We had the radio going earlier. Beautiful sound system. Sounds great, doesn't it?

Kind of bumping. Kind of bumping. Yeah. All right. Dylan, I'm going to let you kick it off. I'll kick it off. My weekend in fun. I'm going to be stationary pretty much the entire weekend.

The reason for that being, so I live in a new place now, and it is right next door to Zilker Park. Why is that a big deal? Well, it's ACL weekend. ACL occurs at Zilker Park. And so I will be right in the hub of activity all weekend long. And I'm kind of excited for it. It's going to be nice weather. I'm going to open the door and let that cool air in and just kind of listen to music from my place, which sounds kind of weird, but live music, that is.

We also have a rooftop at my place, and it looks out over the city and also is right next to the park. I'm going to bring a ball of wine up there and just chill and listen to music. Sounds like a movie. I also get to watch Texas and OU play football this weekend. Ah, yes, the Red River Shootout. Red River Rivalry is what they now call it because you can't promote gun violence.

Oh, okay. But anyway, look, I have a good weekend coming up. It's going to be chill. I can't wait. I got parks all weekend, too, so we're going to hang out. It's going to be a lot of fun. That sounds fantastic. Yeah. It's going to be chill. I can't wait. I got parks all weekend, too, so we're going to hang out. It's going to be a lot of fun. That sounds fantastic.

Yeah, it's going to be great. I wonder which stage you'll be getting your audio from. Probably a combination of a few different ones. I hope you can hear Shania. Yeah. When you hear Shania, that's going to set it off on that roof. I hope you're up there and it's just a scene. Let's go, girls.

Let's go, girls. How many insufferable festival posts will be captioned, let's go, girls, this weekend? Ooh, good call. You're going to log on to your feed on Monday, and it's going to be bad. Probably a few. Yeah. Yeah, it's going to be hard to get in and out of my place.

I mean, like, foot traffic like crazy. At least you'll have some people watching. Prime people watching. Do your grocery shopping today. Yeah, I'm going to get out of the way, and I'll be stocked.ed uh i might get like a big lasagna or something just to feast on over the weekend i don't know i'm gonna be i'm gonna be like leaving my place it's gonna be kind of cool i like the idea of dylan just grazing on a lasagna all weekend well the homie will like it too yeah sounds delightful what about micah oh man this weekend and fun. You mentioned the Texas-Oklahoma game is at 11, and as mentioned previously, the Missouri-LSU game, also at 11. So I'm headed to my buddy Pierce's house, also known as the MVP of the Bachelor Party.

We love Pierce. Shout out, Pierce. Been a minute. there's a group chat going and things are getting pretty intense. Brad Key recently moved to Pierce's neighborhood and his wife sent me like nine text messages about things she wants to make this week and then next week and then the week after that. And so, you know, football is a big thing now. I've watched a game with you at Pierce's after, I believe it was your shower, wedding shower?

Oh, yeah, yeah. But we watched a Mizzou game. And let me tell you, Micah's boys were electric. It's going to be a lot of fun. A lot of fun. And we will be smoking boudin. And I'm thinking I might make some gumbo. I don't know.

I love boudin. I think if I do gumbo, I have to get started on it by Friday, though. Get your roux ready. Yeah, get my roux. You got to have a good roux. Sunday, very exciting news. There is a new yoga studio in Austin. Actually, just down the road on South Lamar at Blue Bonnet. You gotta have a good roux. is truly lit oh yeah the the room is about the size of uh well like maybe twice the size of your studio uh and there are speakers over every inch of it and so you do three flows three times the

first time slow with the teacher the second time paired with breath and then the third time they just turn the music up to 11 and you do it your own speed whoa it's quite lit so brett brett's favorite instructor just left his studio to go to Y7. Oh, I'm sure it's a hot ticket. Yeah. And I am a member. I get a t-shirt, and I've got to cancel my membership because you have to cancel two months in advance. I'm not going to be here for a lot of December.

But anyway, I'm very excited. So if you're at Y7 at 1130 on Sunday, come say hello to your boy. Good for you, man. That sounds truly lit. It's delightful. It will be. Dave, what about you, man? Then you got boys night or Sunday night?
