That's true.

So, and we got national championship tonight. Oh, my gosh. There's so much happening. This is crazy. Who scheduled podcast week for Masters Week's last national championship week? There's just too much going on. Maybe you should talk to the ad guy out there. I don't know. Can you really call it national championship week?

No. Like, I feel like that's a little. Yeah, it being on a Monday Is a little bit I like that it's on Monday But There's not the build up Most are Most are on Mondays though

Yeah yeah yeah I'm just saying Compared to like Oh I guess it is Isn't it The big game The big game Being on Monday

I like it Do I like it I do Maybe Because Mondays suck Let's be honest Yeah you're right I don't have to watch The, let's be honest. Yeah, you're right. I don't have to watch The Bachelor.

It's a bright spot on a shitty Monday, you know? And it's podcast week, like I said. Hey, back to Vizzy real quick. I'm thinking about podcast week. Whoa, and it's a Vizzy week. Back to Vizzy real quick. Full disclosure, I had to try an alternate seltzer brand because the people I was with brought some. Who the fuck were you with?

I don't want to talk about it. Don't stop, dude. I know, I know, I know, I know, I know. But I'm very pleased to say. Don't at them. Very pleased to say. Doesn't even compare to Vizzy. Doesn't even compare to Vizzy.

I know we don't dox, but tell us who you were with. Give me their names. I don't want people egging their house and slashing their tires and all that stuff. I'm going gonna fork them and i've got a pack of deli ham in my car that or that i'm just gonna toss on top of their yeah their uh their hood of the car forking snap forks off in their front what a dick move that is you know who's doing that who's bringing a different seltzer to the party i I don't know. But I don't know if this first year is going to last. Did you crack them and just pour them out in front of them?

Just tossed them overboard. You littered, huh? I didn't litter. I wouldn't do that. I just poured them out into the water. You got to sink them, dude. Yeah. Did you step on any zebra mussels?

Sinking's not littering, dude. I didn't step on any zebra mussels, no. You know, that's one of Will's biggest fears. It's not a fear. It's a reality, dude. Cool teens and zebra mussels. You guys ever step on a zebra mussel? Nah, no. You know, that's one of Will's biggest fears. It's not a fear. It's a reality, dude. Cool teens and zebra muscles. You guys ever step on a zebra muscle? Nah, dude.

It'll slice you open. I'm built different. You brought him down here. You just have different skin on your feet that doesn't get sliced open by zebra muscles. I didn't wear shoes as a child, so I've developed very thick calluses. I need you to take back what you just said. I did not bring zebra muscles. You might do.

No, I didn't do it. Okay. Did you pack them in your suitcase? Dude, that's an allegation that doesn't sit well with me, David. Allegation. No mussels. No, I'm not doing it. Do it.

You know I don't like invasive species. You shouldn't have brought your boat down here. David, I don't like invasive species, so I wouldn't bring one to a place that is considered invasive. Can you confirm that the Lazy River at Wilmonds is zebra mussel free? Confirm or deny? I can confirm that it is zebra mussel free, but as far as microorganisms go, I'm not really sure what's in there. This leak has gone on too far. The city of Austin is just clamoring to get this water bill payment from us, but got a little news for you.

It ain't happening. Yeah, we don't have the money for that. Hey, it's in the mail, City of Austin. Can't pay your utilities. The only thing lazier than our river is our accounting system. Wow. Of which there is none. Aren't you using SlowBooks?

That's so stupid. Dylan, you should have given me more love on that. That was kind of funny. Oh, as opposed to QuickBooks? Right. The program that we use? Correct. I didn't want to pull back the curtain, but yes, we do.

That's pretty good. Not to brag, but we do use QuickBooks. That's pretty good. Props. Nine props. Thank you. Jeff props. Survivor.

Okay. This post came across the TL just now. You guys hear about this Twitter? This guy. Stop. This guy. Stop. No. It's a picture of this guy holding, he and his wife presumably, holding their son.

Okay. He's eight years old, and he's just talking about what he feeds his son, like whole eggs, whole fruit, veggies, and he blends it all up and talking about how the cat's 99% percentile height-wise. And he's lean because it's not processed food. And then the last line says, and unusually handsome. Like, dude, what are you doing? Why are you touting your eight-year-old's diet?

I got a question. You said he blends those items together? In a blender. Yeah, we grind up his vegetables, proteins most of the time until he can chomp away. Okay, but he's not doing like an egg, veggie, and fruit smoothie. That's what it sounds like, yes. I try to generally, I don't put eggs in my smoothies.

At eight months, you have like what, like one tooth maybe at that point? No, I don't remember. Oh, he's eight months, not eight years old. Eight months. Oh, I was thinking of it. Did you say eight years old originally? I was thinking eight-year-old. I think I said eight months.

Okay. I don't know. Eight mile. Anyway, good for you. Not even that bad of an area. You're a studly child, sir. Douchebag. My buddy's got a six-month-old who is 24 pounds, which is very, very large.

Yeah, to put that in perspective, my son, who is six years old, weighs 39 pounds. He's very small, though. Yeah, but he's really leaned into the whole thin as in thing. Tiny arms. He just doesn't eat, man. It's a little concerning. He's getting taller, though, man. His height.

What, Dave? Nothing. Can he dunk? Just move on. Can he dunk? Just move on. Can he dunk like his daddy? Not yet. You guys want to get into the official business before we get into this week's episode? Can I get a sneaky one in first?

I saw some people asking. What? Nothing. Yeah, get one in. You're laughing. I saw this. I don't. No, I'm laughing.

It was a funny way to propose such a thing. I did it before I could even one in. You're laughing. I saw this. No, I'm laughing. It was a funny way to propose such a thing. You cut it before I could even get in. A very important sneaky programming note. Yes, this is an important one. The Roback code, the last one is no more. The new active one is Backer20. Backer20. Backer20.

Very cool. Stop asking about it. And that, of course, will get you 20% off your first purchase at rowback.com. You know what we need to do just like in the offseason? We need flashcards with the sponsor name on one side and then code on the back, and we need to just train. Yeah. Because when people hit me up, I'm always like, ah, hang on.

I'm like scrolling through the little thing that brought me up. We do have a lot. I will be crystal clear. I put every single scrolling through the little thing. You do have a lot. I will be crystal clear. I put every single code in the actual episodes. So whenever someone hits me up personally about it, I'm kind of just like, you know, yeah,

I do take a lot of time going through and, you know, separating out all this stuff for y'all. Like just, you know, I'll, I'll still give you the code, but it's kind of like when someone asks you like a question about if you've

done something, you've definitely already done it. It's like, you know what? Get out of here. Or they ask you a question that they could just pull out their phone, their computer that's in their pocket, and just type it into Chrome. Or like when your wife asks if someone's about to get murdered in a movie. It's like, you know what?

No, babe, that's just my thirst. Wow. Man. It's murder. Whoever set that picture to murder was the case. I don't know who did it. If it was one of us or one of our followers. Brilliant.

Is that you, Will? It was not me. It was not me. I haven't even seen this. It's a picture of a Vizzy. No, not a Vizzy. A liquid death set to murder was the case. And it's pretty funny.

Murder. Can we get to the actual programming notes, Dylan? You don't have any more sneaky ones? No, I'm allowed. Do you have anything more important than the one we're going to do right now? I don't think you do because this is big. Okay. Over the next few weeks, we've got a special announcement.

We're partnering with LLS, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. We've all been affected by cancer in some way, shape, or form, and we're campaigning to raise money in the man or woman, or in our case, team of the year campaign. LLS does more to advance science and support patients than any other cancer organization, and they're the largest nonprofit dedicated to creating a world without blood cancer. Since 1949, they've invested nearly $1.3 billion, with a B, guys.

Billion in groundbreaking research pioneering many of today's most innovative approaches so if you want to donate and help out hit the donate link in our description of this episode and you'll see it as well all over social just keep an eye out i apologize for sneaking in my other program you know as this one was much more important you're right you're right it's In hindsight, it was a terrible move on your part. I apologize. But this is very important. Very cool cause. I'm excited to get involved in it because this is something that I see a lot of other businesses in Austin doing every single year right around this time. And I've always kind of thought, you know, we should probably get a little more involved in this cause. People helping people. Yep. Yep. So we got a link here, but like we said, it's gonna

be all over our socials as well. It's a, it's a, it's a good thing. It's in Austin. This is a very, uh, a very important cause that a lot of people get behind. And I'm glad to say that we're behind it as well. Also go, this is, this is the less important stuff. Go follow circling back pod and watch media on the, on the, uh, Grom or on the Twitter machine. Uh, go leave a review and five-star rating on Apple podcasts. Make that happen. Dave, how many videos did you send out last week after all the reviews? Dude, I've got a backlog. We got a lot of reviews last week because of Dave's promises that he's going to make good on.

I'm going to make sure of it. Dang. You can't slide by me. You know I haven't. I mean, I don't. You said you have a backlog, so. Well. Usually means you haven't.

You're right. I told on myself. Well, yes. But I will say that I'm very happy that we got reviews across the board. You're right. I told on myself. But yes, I will say that I'm very happy that we got reviews across the board. It's part of our review initiative. It was actually review week. Oh, I didn't realize that. Yeah, well.

Someone said I'm a 23-year-old STEM guy doing his master's at an Ivy League school. There's more than us than you think. And dare I might say, this may be the official podcast of the Ivy. What's with people alluding to their Ivy League education and not just telling us? Just tell us what school we want to know. Since when are Ivy League kids afraid to say where they're going? That's like your thing. You're anonymous. It sounds doper to say, like, I'm Ivy League as opposed to, like, oh, I attend Yale.

So he goes to, like, a bottom tier. No, because then it's like there's a little mystique behind it. Is it a bottom tier Ivy? Yes. Or else they would say, oh, I go to Harvard. What's the worst Ivy League school? I'm going to – What's the trashiest Ivy League?

I feel like Brown gets a bad reputation, but it's the only one that I have a family connection to, so I ride with Brown. It's because Brown has just a lame name. Brown. I got a brown. Yeah, like if you're going to name your school after a color, how is brown the one you go with?

Seriously. Like call it purple. I go to purple. How do you not go to name your school after a color, how is brown the one you go with? Yeah, seriously. Like, call it purple. I go to purple. How do you not go to purple? I go to Turkle as university. They're saying brown is, this is per source. It's even, pretty even with Dartmouth or Dartmouth, which was a Halloween costume of mine. Just didn't go over well.

Columbia and Penn. Oh. And it's slightly ahead of Cornell. Cornell gets the brand recognition because of the office. Sure. But it wasn't ahead of Cornell. Cornell gets the brand recognition because of The Office, but it wasn't good brand recognition. It was like the biggest dickhead in the show. You guys watch The Office?

Dude, I'm freaking binging it right now. Go head over to youtube.com slash watchmedia. Also watchmedia.shop if you want to buy any merch. And then our Patreon schedule. Tomorrow we're doing Worst Of. I'm doing something special this week. I haven't even approved this with the rest of the squad.

You're going rogue. We're voting on tomorrow's stories. And the person who had the worst story, guess what? You're getting free Patreon for the month. Holy crap. There's no way to gift Patreon subscriptions unless I'm just dumb. So you'll probably be getting a Venmo. Wow. So they get $5. No, they get their $10.. So you'll probably be getting a Venmo. Wow.

So they get $5. No, they get their $10. They get their $10. It's opto. Okay. But you can use that $10 either to pay for your Patreon subscription or you can just go buy, like, I don't know, maybe some liquid death. We're never going to financially recover from this. Buy some doge.

It's going to be tough. If you want to send in your story, of course, go to warstuff at washmedia.com and send that email. Or you can go to washmedia.com and there's a form right on there for you to just fill out. I'll be doing the rundown this afternoon, so just get prepared for it. Very exciting. It's also form week. You bring on forms? Yep.

Your form's been trash lately. Yeah, I know. Yeah, that's true. That's why we're doing this whole week dedicated to it. Have you been doing pull-ups like that lady online? Marjorie? Marjorie. Yeah. The kipping? Is it a kipping pull-up? The CrossFit pull-up like that lady online? Marjorie? Is it a kipping pull-up?

The CrossFit pull-up? Aren't those easier than a standard pull-up? Those are so stupid. You look like a total jack wagon. You do. Just trashing your shoulders. You didn't have to go that. Come on, jack wagon, dude. I went there, Will. You don't think I'm going to go there, but I'm going there. Does it really target the muscles like a regular pull-up does?

What's going on there? That looks like what I'm trying to do in order to do one pull-up. That's got to be hell on your joints. Right? Especially, she's, you know. I will go with the military approach on a pull-up because I feel like they know what they're doing. Yeah. As it's the only way they can do pull-ups.

Wow. Interesting. pull-up because i feel like they know what they're doing yeah as it's the only way they can do pull-ups wow interesting i was trying to think of a hell on your joints uh like like will mons like going to hell and then burning and then like you burn a joint it just wasn't working like a little nas x video so I held back and I didn't make the reference. Thanks for walking us through your thought process, though. Yeah. Yeah. Before we get into it, let's talk about Cuts clothing real quick.

Fellas, the sport of business means demanding excellence from your craft and your wardrobe. We like excellence around here. Well, Dylan kind of, you know. Okay, I don't know what you're doing there. You kind of sidestep excellence once in a while. You have your moments, though. I'm trying my best. Your fits need to be versatile.

Blending timeless style and comfort so that you look as good as you feel. And for that, there's Cuts Clothing. They've taken a men's classic staple, the plain tee, and they've refined it, combining premium quality with minimalistic aesthetic. Cuts shirts, polos, hoodies, and crew sweatshirts are made for the man who works hard, plays hard, and never settles for less. All in the sport of business. Get your drip up.

Get your drip up. Dave. Dylan. Will. Do you need cash again over here? Please. Do we get it? Dude, take your plain tee and make it look Tony Stark.

The bleeding edge of fabric technology meets the man confident enough to wear it, and that's at Cuts Clothing. You guys know in 2016, the Cuts founder, Steve Borelli, great name, by the way, set out to create shirts ready for every occasion modern man faces, and he started with the T-shirt.

Dude, as a modern man myself, facing so many different occasions. Do you know what GQ called this T-shirt after he mastered it? Let's hear it. The only shirt worth wearing. That's high praise from GQ. Is this the only way I dress?

Yeah, gentlemen's quarterly, which they don't release it quarterly, which has always confused me as to why they keep that. But they're the fashion guys when it comes to men's fashion. Oh, that's, yeah. Go get one. You'll never need to take it off, and you certainly won't want to. Or you can try their wrinkle-free Pika polo. You guys know what Pika is?

Oh, yeah. It's a design that helps you keep fitted. No, it's not like Pikachu. No, it's nothing like that. It's a proprietary fabric, Dylan. It's a bold new take on a classic design, Dylan. Okay. Take your hat out.

Jesus. Cuts is premium with a purchase. Each piece of clothing is designed with custom-engineered fabric, expertly graded for the perfect fit, arming you for every challenge and opportunity. It's not just a lifestyle. It's not just clothing. It's office leisure apparel for the sport of business.

Get 15% off your first order by going to cutsclothing.com slash steam. That's cutsclothing.com slash steam for 15% off the only shirt worth wearing. Can I gas up there wrinkle-free? Because I don't have a lot of time on my hands, and sometimes if I throw something in the dryer, I'll leave it in there, and I'll forget, and I'll go back like five hours later, and a lot of the stuff's wrinkled. But no, my cuts is not.

That's why it's called wrinkle-free, Dave. It's not called wrinkle sometimes there. You think they're lying about the wrinkle-free process? No, I'm just giving an anecdote. Figure it out, dude. I'm giving a nice anecdote. Do you guys know what time it is? Tell us.

I've got 1104 ladies and gentlemen the weekend time to recap this weekend and fun dylan dylan start us off what'd you do this weekend thanks for asking um what did i do friday what did i do friday i had parts it's your segment i don't know yeah dude how do you not think of this beforehand like is this the first time you thought about your weekend oh i had parts we I had parts. We watched King Kong. Godzilla. Godzilla. Jeez.

I'm glad the movie made a really big impression on you. I was struggling over here. Pretty good movie, man. So here's the thing about that movie, though. They just destroy Tokyo. Hey, hey, spoilers. Numerous skyscrapers just collapsed. I mean, if this was real life, and I know it's not,

we're talking, like, severe casualties. Like, people are just laid out in the streets. It would have been terrible. You get these two together, you throw out the records, man. They hate each other. Or do they? They have no concern for the infrastructure of the city that they're destroying. They're just like, oh, I'm going to throw you into this skyscraper and just completely destroy it,

along with the lives of, you know, 16,000 people that are inside it. A lot of people displaced by said fight. Just a real tough scene for Tokyo. I think it's Tokyo. I might be getting that wrong. Okay. Hong Kong. Did you watch the movie or not? Yeah, I forgot the city.

I think it's Tokyo. Anyway, a good movie, not? Yeah, I forgot the city. I think it's Tokyo. Anyway, a good movie, though. A little surprise at the end. A little surprise. Don't wag your finger like that. A little surprise at the end. It's not something we're going to do. Check it out.

Oh, man, I can't wait to just read about the surprise rather than actually watch the movie. A little surprise. A little twist. They get you there. A little twist at the end. It's kind of fun. Kind of a fun one. Anyway, Saturday.

Did Parks turn 13 over the weekend? Did I miss this? Because I don't think he's allowed to watch this movie. They said the cuss word hell in the movie. And of course there's some violence

but it's just some big monsters just throwing each other around. Well, Parks knows what hell is. He's been watching that Lil Nas X video where Lil Nas X gives Satan a lap dance

all the time. He told me. He's like, that's a bop. He just got some red bottoms. Oh, man. He told me. He's like, that's a bop. He just got some red bottoms. Oh, man. He said life is good. Anyway, that was my Friday.

You can't wear red bottoms with a life is good tee. Saturday, I'm not going to lie. Saturday, I was down bad. I heard you were down bad. I had an excruciating, pounding headache all day long. I couldn't get rid of it. It's cedar season. I was just laid out on my couch.

Yeah. I don't usually get spring allergies. Wow, this guy's built different, truly. But something had me down a bag. Did somebody just beat the shit out of you or what? I didn't even drink Friday, so you can't say it was a hangover because it wasn't. You didn't drink Friday. I didn't, dude.

NF confession. I was watching a movie with my son. You don't drink while you watch movies with your son? That's not what I heard. I'll have a glass of my son. You don't drink while you watch movies with your son? That's not what I heard. I'll have a glass of wine sometimes, but I didn't on Friday. You were smoking cigs inside, though, right? Yeah. Watching that movie.

That's true. And then Sunday, of course, was Sunday. It was Easter. We had a little Easter egg hunt for a little guy and his cousins. That was a really fun time. Did you hide the eggs or what? He got a fit off. Of course I did.

He got a fit off. Do you take it too far when you hide the eggs? No. Because I want the homie to clean up, you know. I took it too far. You got to watch. I actually got yelled at by the other parents because they were like, dude, Will, they need to find these eggs. And I was like, dude, I'm God to you when it comes to hiding eggs.

Anything over five feet is off limits because he's a short little fella. He's a short king. He's a short king. He's a short king. And then Sunday evening, I went out on a friend's boat for a minute and did some wake surfing. You guys hear about this wake surfing business? Yeah. See, the thing is it's like surfing, but you're on a wake instead of a wave. Let's talk about this.

Okay. So you're pretty well well versed in wake surfing right yeah you could say that what what did it say just i'll say this i'm gonna say this early last year no midsummer last year on a nice beautiful warm day i i went out and i tried wake surfing for the first time yeah i got saying you're trash i got up pretty well and people were like wow dude you're so athletic and i was like yeah i know and then and then but then the majority of my dms were people saying why hey man you're not dropping the rope don't post this unless you're dropping the rope blah blah blah right and then i i'm pretty sure that if i don't know if we ran the tape back

but i think that if we ran the tape back there might have been some lingo from from you dylan chivalry yeah yeah about how i didn't drop the rope. And so when I was watching the video yesterday, you only posted one, which Dave noted before recording is very noble of you. We thank you. Yeah, I wasn't trying to flex too hard. So the rope stayed in your hand. I have issues with this. One, because, like, you're an anti-rope guy.

That's weird. Hang on. And then two, do you know big arms are out, and by holding onto the rope, you're therefore contributing to a major problem that's sweeping America? Did you? I'm guessing you didn't watch the entirety of that post. Here's the problem, Dylan. Because I clearly threw the rope at him.

You tossed it in and then the camera cuts off. Did you not stay up? It's like they were hiding something. I tossed the rope in, Will. He did, but it cuts off immediately. I know. What are we missing? What are you hiding?

First of all, I'm sorry for the arms not looking perfectly tiny in the video they were a little bit they're kind of a little too big for my my liking one concern i'm sorry um but truth be told and since we're all about transparency here in honesty um i hadn't done this in legit 10 years. My first time getting back out there in about 10 years. So you were 31 last time you did it? Well, I'm 37 now. Oh yeah, because you're 41. Do the math. You did. So I was very rusty, very rusty. And I threw the rope in, but I only stayed up without the rope for about seven to ten seconds. Why didn't you have someone throw you an off-brand hard seltzer only for you to just throw it straight into the water? Because I didn't want to give the impression that I was enjoying an alternate brand hard seltzer. You could have just cracked it and poured it in the water next to your wake surfing board.

in the water next to your wake surfing board. Well, since I was meeting these people for the first time, the owners and operators of the boat, I thought it would be rude to just do that. Are they going to hear this? Is it kind of messed up? Would it be messed up to go on someone's boat and take the drinks that they provided with you and then pour it out as you're wake surfing on their boat?

Truth be told, Bae brought the drinks. I know. I know. Bae brought the drinks. Red flag much. I know. I know. Bay brought the drinks. Red flag much? I know. We got in a huge knockout, dragout fight. Knockdown, dragout?

How does that term go? Knockout might not be the word you're looking for. I didn't strike her. Okay. Okay. I was like, what are you doing? This isn't busy. Well, yeah.

I was going to say there was a glaring lack of acerola in that video. Yeah, that was the thing about it. It left a lot to be desired. Because I expected more from you. You are a self-proclaimed water sports guy. I am not. You love the water sports. I'm not a self-proclaimed water sports guy.

Often participate in water sports. And I wanted to see at least like a 180. You remember intern Peyton? You guys remember Peyton, right? Yeah, she did a 360. She does all sorts of cool stuff, and you didn't do anything cool. So the new friends that I met, which are good friends of Bay, Brittany, Kristen and Chris. That's unstable.

Very nice couple. They are so good. It made me feel really bad about my abilities. They are so good. They own a boat. They do, which they get to do it much more than I do. We should buy a boat. I mean, I'm talking like they were doing that thing where you turn up real high and then you've – it's just –

You've never done that. You've never turned up a day in your life. You're right, David. You're right. Chris did a 360 at one point. I was like, how? In the air or on the water? On the water.

Okay. Dave's doing 360s in the air, dude. Did he catch air? He probably got off the water a little bit, yeah. Okay. I think so. Yeah, I don't really do that stuff. I'm more of like the jetpack guy who just kind of hovers around and people watch me.

I've never seen you do that. No, you don't hang out with me that much. Yeah, we texted about it this weekend, and Dave and I were doing it. Really? No, I'm just kidding. I actually want to hear about Dave's weekend just because I know that Dave went golfing with T-Man. The weekend sounded great, though. I'm kind of already over Dave's weekend, honestly.

At least I remember mine. Wow. Then I closed out with watching The Wire. Let's go. Okay. Poor Wallace, man. Oh, my God. Shut up, dude.

You know that I haven't seen it, and I'm going to, so stop. He's 20 years old. Sorry. Anyway. What's 20 years old. Sorry. Anyway. What's up, Will? Yeah, I was back in Dallas for Easter weekend. He has risen, Dylan. The temple is empty.

Yes. Is that a new one that people are working in? The tomb is empty? The tomb is empty. I haven't seen that on the TL as much as I have in recent years. It was one of the top trending topics yesterday, and that was not something that I would default to whenever uh easter rolls around so i was a little caught off guard as well dave oh my tomb whoever hit me up somebody said

that's not what he said somebody whoever hit me up and said that we should do a uh he is glisten okay i was like no i don't know if we're gonna do that yeah yeah let's not do that oh you might offend some folks and i don't even know the reference like what does that mean yeah i was up there friday hung out saturday morning though was for da boys by da boys i I mean me and some high school buddies playing at Flounders Country Club, and T-Man joined us. T-Man got the nod. T-Man got the nod. Interesting that he comes down to Austin and plays golf.

It doesn't include you, but you took the high road. You said it, not me. You took the high road. You went up to his territory, and you invite him. You said it, not me. Very big of you, David. Well, here's the deal. Here, T-Man might have been regretting because, so we get about seven or eight holes in, and you invite him you said it not me very big of you david well here's the deal here team man

might have been regretting because so we get about seven or eight holes in and um we go to cross this bridge a literal bridge to go over a very large creek and there's some work trucks out and my buddy's like all right i'm just gonna go around them on the bridge and they like get up and start yelling at us right whoa whoa what what and they're like, bridge is under repair. We're like, okay. Well, how do we go? We'd already hit our tee shots. By the way, the only hole we all hit the fairway with our tee shots.

So three balls in the fairway. And they're like, oh, 12, 13, 14, and 15 are all closed. Wait, what? What? You didn't know this when you, I don't know. No, when we paid $81 guest fees, no, we did not know this. So someone's to blame. They said, so my buddy calls the pro shop, and he's also a member there.

This is Clay's handler, if you remember. Okay. And he's kind of bitching them out a little bit. They're like, well, we sent out an email. You must have the wrong email on file. And that didn't make him happy. Didn't want to hear that. Nah, nah.

Sending an email doesn't exactly move the needle because if i'm getting an email from like my country club i'm probably assuming that like something it's something i don't really care about our other buddy who's a member of a different country club in fort worth a very nice one um he he's he started going off like why are they doing why aren't they doing this on Monday when country clubs are closed? So it was just like a lot of first world problems going down. But I was not happy to have to skip four holes. Not that I was putting together a memorable round, but I was having fun with Du Bois, trademark.

And they said, we'll find you four more holes when you're done with A-team, which to their credit they did. They said, we'll find you four more holes when you're done with A-team, which to their credit they did, but it was on a different course. It was by the driving range, and the guys were bombing it over the net, and they were landing in the fairway next to us. It was a whole deal. I'm sure the Grint honors that handicapping system when you guys are trying to enter your scores and stuff. Exactly.

And T-Man, I think he had a good time. It was good to see him. Did you ride with T-Man? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Or any Vizzis in Jacksonville? He was just doing good. Yes, they were.

Yes. He was doing great, man. I missed T-Man. You love to hear that. He told me to tell you all what's up, ask what your deal is, Nolan. Yeah, okay. A couple times, actually. T-Man, what a guy.

Wanted to know if you're going to bring back the forums. T-Man's got a strong Twitter game. I'll give it to him. During bachelor season. Yeah. That's where he thrives. He's good for the large sports event, too. He'll have a fun—

Underscore Trevor Hughes, underscore. Look at that. Adam on the ground. T-Man. Sorry. Saturday night, you guys know KJ of Too Much Dip fame? Never heard of him. Familiar, yeah fame never heard of him

went and met him at a little little bar restaurant in Duncanville the Dunk they call it yeah called Mudhook

shout out Mudhook and had a drink watched the watched the second half of the the big game did you guys see that shot

that was crazy something cool something cool about that big game is that my internet went out for the second half about that big game is that my internet went out for the second half of that big game. Check out Too Much Dip if you missed it. Well, yeah, you should check it out. We'll recap it for you.

Yeah, it was cool. I didn't hear anything about it. You didn't miss anything. I didn't hear that it was one of the greatest games ever. Some people are saying the greatest. It's cool, though. Our internet got working with literally 20 seconds left in the second half, so I did get to see 20 seconds and then overtime.

Sports fans have such short memories. Definitely not the best game of all time. Thank you. Thank you. When it was being discussed at Easter brunch, I was sitting here. I was like, are we really talking best all time? That's ridiculous. Given the magnitude of the game, though.

A huge game. Very cool. Not the best game of all time. Top 20? Yeah. Definitely not top 20. I would say top five. The Christian Laettner game. Yeah. Top 20, yeah. Definitely not top 20. I would say top five. The Christian Laettner game.

Yeah, that's a great argument. Okay, nobody remembers that game. They just remember the shot. If he misses it, they go to second overtime. It wasn't like he was... But he didn't. He didn't flip the game from a loss to a win. He flipped it from a tie.

Oh, I know what this is about. Will, I know what this is about with him. We figured out Dylan really does not like the very good yet somewhat unathletic white dude on the good college basketball team. Oh, you're talking about Drew Timmy? I am definitely talking about J.J. Pierce's own Drew Timmy. That's not just because he's white. And Westlake's own, the mayor kid on Baylor.

Or on, yeah, the white dude with the mullet. He's from Westlake? Yeah, he's a Westlake kid. I didn't talk shit about that guy. I don't mind that guy. I think you did privately. You were texting me about it. It's his mustache arms up celebration after a standard dunk to go up by two points.

It's like, man, you just – If you could dunk, you would do it too. I celebrate my victories with the squad, dog. That guy's a chotch. Maybe if you got above the rim once, you would do it too. I promise you I'm not the only one with this opinion. That guy's a chotch. You might be the only one.

I'm not. Anywho, yeah, we were in Dallas for – we did Easter Saturday with my family, and then we did it yesterday with her family. Easter, that is. So very cool. Very cool. Will?

I went the fuck off this weekend. Let's freaking go. I didn't really go the fuck off. I had some dinner with the fam on Friday afternoon. It was essentially Friday afternoon. Five o'clock dinner reservation on Saturday. Where? Or Friday, I mean.

I don't even remember the name of this place. Someplace. That's a good impression. I don't know. Food was good. I'll say this. I had a really good time at the dinner. The only gripe is that there was a seafood tower on the menu and we didn't get it.

And it's just kind of like, you know what? Who am I surrounding myself with? Red flag. We're just not going to get a seafood tower? We didn't get a seafood tower. Next thing you're going to tell me you had an off brand hard seltzer I'm scum but I'm not that scummy

I'm embarrassed okay Saturday was an all time lazy day for me all time lazy day Sally's sister's boyfriend was doing a brisket he was starting it early and so I decided that I would attach myself to this brisket mainly because I wanted to hang out with them but also because I was like you know I can get some brisket. He was starting it early. So I decided that I would attach myself to this brisket,

mainly because I wanted to hang out with them, but also because I was like, you know, I can get some brisket out of this. Wait, is she dating Lincoln Riley? Maybe. Okay. Were you just standing there, arms crossed, kind of watching him like, yeah, man. I saw the brisket on the actual Traeger once.

What's that temp doing? We were tracking temps all day. All day. And, yeah, I didn't do anything for this brisket, though. I just tried to reap the benefits. I will say, for the first time that he has done a brisket, he was... He was not pleased. He acknowledged the shortcomings of the brisket and people understood.

Actually, we actually busted into this brisket when I was hanging out with Dylan's girlfriend. Bay. I hung out with her for a little bit. You hung out with Bae. Yep. Met the daughter. And Bae's daughter. Yeah, she was pretty deep into watching whatever she was watching on television, like Peppa

Pig or some shit. Well, she told me that she didn't want to talk to you before she went over there. Oh, that's... The daughter, that is. I was like, yeah, I understand. That guy sucks. Okay. Did you talk to Bae a little bit?

You guys mix it up? Yeah, we mix it up a little bit. It was mainly just talking shit about you so bae's gonna be the thing you're really leaning into the bae part to the word bae I just wanna are you just trying to deflect from the other

there are better words it's cringe funny to me I love it man I don't know if I love it you're cringe funny yeah I know I know and then yeah

obviously Sunday's Easter so your boy was just hiding eggs left and right just enjoying himself on that little brunch spread I noticed you just completely glossed over the banana pudding. Yeah, so if you're a

patron, patreon.com slash circlingbackpodcast, you would know that on Friday's listener voicemail episodes that somebody called in asking that if Dylan could designate which food Dave and I are, that I would be a banana pudding. And something that I really wasn't expecting was

this felt like a targeted attack from Dylan. Because when we went over to go eat said brisket, she seemed to bring over something that was, it kind of felt like it was personal. This was not a long play. I didn't know she was doing this. Don't get me wrong. I'm glad that she brought over banana pudding because I've never had banana pudding before.

And I will say that it was the best banana pudding I've ever had. It was absolutely delightful, mainly because I've never had any before, but it was also just really good. I don't know if it's your traditional, your grandma's banana pudding, but I really enjoyed it. So Bay made banana pudding? But did this feel, does that feel kind of like a targeted attack from Dylan? Uh, Dylan, don't take any offense to this, please, but I don't know if Dylan's capable of planning such a long-term attack. After he got ratioed for so long, now I just feel like you just did this on purpose. Don't worry about it.

I still don't understand the banana pudding thing. I don't really either. Look at him, dude. Shut up. Yeah, I am looking at him. I look at him probably five days a week, and I'm not getting banana pudding. It's between banana and just plain vanilla. Dude, shut up. That's mean. I hate you. I don't hate you. That's fair. Look getting banana pudding. It was between banana and just plain vanilla. Dude, shut up.

That's mean. I hate you. I don't hate you. That's fair. Look, banana pudding's great. Okay. I've heard enough of the words banana and pudding. Hey, question.

Can you see the lake from your new spot? Like, do you have a view of the water? From my apartment? Yeah. No. Okay. No. Because I was.

I face the road, dog. Because we. I'm not doing that well in life. We were cruising by your shit. I thought about calling you. Hey, go to the window real quick. Because I was. I faced the road, dog. I'm not doing that well in life. We were cruising by your shit. I thought about calling you. I was like, hey, go to the window real quick. I could have. That would have been hilarious if you did that.

You're so crazy. I'm going to do double birds with my ass showing like that. Just stick it to you. Wow, thank you. So you're not only like trolling me with your banana pudding stuff, but now you're trying to give me the finger while I'm at my domicile. Yeah. It's a no-wake zone.

Dave's over here bringing brisket to his friends, and you're trying to moon me the finger while I'm at my domicile. It's a no-wake zone. Dave's over here bringing brisket to his friends, and you're trying to moon them while also giving them double birds. Just put that in perspective, Dylan. I'm a good friend, man. Yeah, so then your boy. On Sunday, it was Easter. Feasted with the fam, and then we got that nursery set up finally. That's a big day.

Yeah, if you go out to the recycling container at the dumpster at our office complex right now, you will see a bunch of boxes that all have to do with baby stuff. You have to think that there's not like a daycare. Is there a guy testing for COVID in there too? Yeah. I was going to say catch Dylan in there. It was good to get the swab. They call them the stump the Schwab. Really?

Yeah. That show stunk. It did, didn't it? Who cares? That guy was cheating, I think. Yeah. What are you doing? No one knows that much useless crap.

Fuck off. You know what else I did this weekend? What? This is kind of a segue into the ad read, but at the same time, I did this. I'm not very good at keeping plants alive, and so I did a bunch of research on my plant in order to make sure that I was keeping this thing fresh. And what I found was that we're actually doing the right thing, but we might be over-watering it. So now I need to scale back on the watering a little bit.

This is about bloomscape. It is about bloomscape. Man. I love my tree, but I'm just not good at taking care of them. But what I found is that I'm too attentive and I need to chill out a little bit. Do you see the little card that they put in the package that told you how to take care of your plant? Dylan, they have an even more robust set of directions online for your specific plants.

Buddy. It's amazing. Someone who's not a plant guy excuse me because i just i'm i kill plants i just don't i don't care for them like i need all right not intentionally i just i don't give the attention that usually it's not like it's your thirst or something just but i'm so happy to be a plant guy now yeah it feels good. My plant is dope. I'm taking good care of it. I'll get it onto water like once every two weeks. It's sick. Not sick like it's unhealthy. It's sick.

It's dope. Dude, I got the ZZ plant. Really? And let me just say it is strong. It has like the tiny little leaves. What's the top like? And two days later, it just explodes. ZZ Top. You see?

A lot of people are saying my plant is a lot cooler than your plant. I'm not one of them. People are just saying that. Nobody cares. No one's going to see your plant anyway. For some reason, I thought you got the money tree. I thought Dylan tried to order the funny tree, but they said, no, sorry, that's not available for people in your area.

Got him! You aren't funny. After being stuck indoors all winter, I, that's not available for people in your area. Got him! You aren't funny. After being stuck indoors all winter, I think we're ready to say good riddance, but as excited as I am to get outside, I have not been looking forward to getting the plants in shape, that's for sure. And if you have a green thumb, that's great. Some of us need a hand and, you know, as I've said numerous times

throughout this, that's your boy. That's so much to your heart. That's why I love Bloomscape. The little card that tells you you have to take care of it, I have it on my fridge with a magnet. Yeah, you need it. I do. You just don't know shit about plants. Right. Bloomscape delivers healthy plants right to your door, plus all the grow-how you need

in order to help them thrive so you can find the perfect plant for your space, whether you've got tons of light or hardly any. Thousands of people have already upgraded their spaces with beautiful indoor plants from Bloomscape, and now Bloomscape is taking it outside with their new outdoor blooms kit. Can you believe that? No, I cannot.

They have my attention. It's truly incredible, and I will say, you know, there might be people out there that are like, yeah, you order a plant online? How does that work? These things come in a box, properly padded, no spillage on the dirt front. No. No spillage.

They know how to pack a plant. It's incredible. I've seen how those packages get tossed around in the delivery vehicles. I fully expected there to be some spillage, and there was none. None. They've got young plants, accessories, tools, supplies, everything you need to get your patio or porch springtime ready. They even had patented shipping technology that we just mentioned for the people.

It delivers happy, healthy plants of all sizes across the U.S. I bought one of the largest plants they had to offer because I was trying to test them. I was like, you know what, Bloomscape, I trust you, but I want to see it in action. And I will say this thing arrived flawless. Flawless. Their bloom kits are completely customizable, mix and match sizes and colors, and since no two

plants are alike, they make it easy to filter plants by how much light or attention they'll need. They come with a mix of annual plants suited for your environment with complementary colors and needs. So everything grows in harmony and the grow, how team is always available to answer any of your plant care questions of which I've, I've had many,

but they're helping me hone it in. Get 15% off your plant orders with a hundred dollar promo codes are of orders of a hundred dollars. Sorry. With promo code steam at bloomscape.com. That's 15% off plant orders with of $100 or more at bloomscape.com. Promo code STEAM at bloomscape.com. That's 15% off plant orders of $100 or more at bloomscape.com. Promo code STEAM.

It's a great sponsor. I was so happy to see them. You know what I didn't do? New sponsor out there. We've done that before. Have we? Yeah. Yeah, thanks, though.

Maybe your mic was down last time. You just didn't realize it. Is it up now? Yeah. Unfortunate. People said that was the best two minutes we've ever done yeah i think you're the only one who said that actually no i saw people are doing a couple people were tweeting it private though you couldn't see it in there yeah so brisket was trending last night on the timeline big weekend for meat big meat weekend i mean i got my first brisket off you did did. And by me, I mean my buddy Ryan.

Did you have the spray bottle? You're like, hey, you want me to go moisturize it? Hit that. Go spray it? And he's like, no, I'm good, dude. I could not have done less helping. I put on boots and I walked out there. I said, no, no, it looks good.

Did the boots have fur? It did not. They didn't have red bottoms either. Okay. No, these are like. Red wings. These are like Alaskan fishing boots. You put on your smoking boots. Yeah. Okay. Alaskan fishing boots? Okay. No, these are like red wings. These are like Alaskan fishing. You put on your smoking boots. Yeah. Okay. Alaskan fishing boots. Okay. Kind of warm. So who's this guy that posted his

brisket last night? He's got two first names. What's the problem there? Oh, it's Dylan's boy, Lincoln Riley. Actually he has, he has one first name, one last name. They're just reversed. It's weird. Yeah. Riley Lincoln. That makes more sense. Lincoln Riley. Yeah, he's the head coach of the Oklahoma Sooners football team. I'm more of a Lincoln build guy. He's a fantastic football coach, actually. That's good. Even I can admit it.

Did you hear what I said, though? No. Lincoln build. Yeah. Does he have a winning record against Texas? Yeah. Yeah, I know. Historically, though, Texas is winning that series. That's definitely a good, fun fact.

Yeah. I'm sure that makes all Texas fans feel a lot better about the state of the program. No, it's a trash program currently, but we'll see what Stark does. Okay? You know, sometimes you can find some good things in trash, like a COVID test. Two new coaches in Austin. You guys hear about this Chris Beard thing? Okay.

I'm tired of hearing about Chris fucking Beard. No, I didn't see anything on Twitter about it. Everyone's handling it very well. Check out Too Much Dip. Let's have Gark call in. No, I don't think we could play it. Dave, you had a tweet last night. Do you mind if I read this tweet?

Yeah. It said, don't ever post a photo of your brisket. Don't even send it to the group text. Not worth it. It's definitely not. No good comes of it. No. See, I have major issues with this mentality.

Because it's not grind boy shit? Dude, how are you not just going to be posting? Like, you've got to post your briskets to the boys so that you can either flex or get help. There's people out there that want to help, Dave. The boys don't want to help. Because the boys aren't going to help. No, dude, come on. They're going to roast you off the face of the planet.

Shut up. Shut up. See? Dude. Here's a question everyone's asking. Did he put the wrong pellets into the smoker? He put some chips into his trigger. What's he thinking?

No one does that. What an idiot. What an idiot. I'm not a... I think I will say this. Did I put the brisket that I didn't actually help with on the timeline on Saturday?

You did. No, because I didn't help with it and it wasn't my brisket. I wasn't hanging my hat on it. Where did I see it then? Oh, probably one of the five other people I followed that were there.

Yeah. Including Bae. Oh, yeah. Bae was there. She tried the brisket. She brought the banana pudding. She tried the brisket. What'd she say? When it comes... Oh. Her bananae was there. She tried the brisket. She brought the banana pudding. She tried the brisket. What'd she say?

When it comes... Oh, her banana pudding was fucking good. Unfortunately. You're just trying to get on her good side now. I told her. I told her straight up. I was like, I've never had this before, but it's really fucking good. I told her you never had it.

Yeah. I've never shied away from putting my meat picks on the TL. Gross, dude. Every Sunday night, I take to the TL with some food picks. Sometimes I make that food, sometimes I don't. We put one up on Meat Smokers only one time. It did very well. It did numbies? It was a good looking, I don't even remember what it was.

I don't know. No, it was beef. It was steak, dude. Come on, look at you. You know I got my strip game on lock? How did you not know that about him? People say that I'm the apartment grilling steak champion of the world. Really? Ooh, Micah puts out some stuff, too.

Micah's good on the grill. Oh, I know that. And I'm saying that as if I'm surprised, but I guess I kind of am. Micah kind of takes the entire grill over, though. Like, if you're trying to grill something with Micah, he's grilling it for you, even if you're, like, adamant that you don't want him to. You ever see this guy make an old-fashioned action? Happy holidays. Dude, I don't think we should be shaming our Kings for putting meat picks on the TL.

But you've just got to be prepared. You're going to get roasted. Here's the thing. He had his feet into two things that are the most just violent Twitter fan bases. College football and meat. And the meats. He is both. He checks both of those boxes. No good was going to come of that.

The Texas Hardos, who are, it's a brisket state, they just swarmed. It was a feeding frenzy. A meeting frenzy. A meeting frenzy. Because any chance to rip on the OU head coach, they're going to jump on it. But what I don't like about this is that, like, should he have maybe acknowledged the fact that it's a bit dry? Maybe, but he's not going to do that. He doubled down.

Maybe he didn't realize it. The amount of meat hardos just taking this opportunity and his mentions to just start posting their own meat on the thing. It's like, OK, you guys just want to show how good you are making brisket. And some of the pics I saw in response, they didn't look awesome. No, I'm looking at some of these right now, and some of these briskets look like trash. Yeah. But I'm willing to say that. And to be fair, it's not an easy thing to make.

It's not. So I don't know if I'm going to have time this week given that it's uh form week podcast week master's week but i would like to do a brisket this week dave this weekend most likely are you going to take pictures of it well you've seen my stance will read my tweet at d carter ruff on twitter and snap at dc ruff on instagram um maybe if That's where you can find if I do. If I so choose. Basically, it's my choice, Don. I'm not going to let you bully me into posting me pics.

That's fair. We've gone down that road before. Ended poorly for both of us. We never got paid. What? Anyway. What? Anyway. What are you doing this weekend? We can save it for Wednesday, but I don't want to do a brisket by myself.

I need somebody there. I need a Will there to just kind of be like, what about me, man? You too, but a Will, not Will. You want someone to take the fall with you in case his brisket does not go down well. No, but he's seen someone make a brisket. Dude, I was a silent observer this Saturday. I'm just taking in the information and compartmentalizing it and making sure that I know what to do. He can tell me what not to do.

I will say this. Even though our brisket was a little dry this weekend, which we all acknowledged, it was still an enjoyable brisket. I still enjoyed eating it. It was well-seasoned. I was happy eating it. Did you toss some sauce on it? We didn't do any sauce. Okay. I didn't want to get lost. Yeah, fair.

It's hard. We've been there. It's hard. You just never know. It's hard. You just have nothing to gain by posting it. If Sark posts this, is he getting roasted on the same level that Lincoln Riley did? No, because if it's a dope brisket... Yeah, he is, actually.

No one remembers it. Like, oh, okay, yeah, you did... Cool, man. But if it's bad, you're just going to get skewered. Are there OU people riding for this brisket? Probably. Probably. I've had barbecue in Oklahoma.

Why do they do everything all wrong up there? Everything they smoke is just wrong. Joints and briskets. All wrong. Doesn't good old JR.R. have a barbecue joint? Jim Ross? Oh, J.R.!

My God, he's overcooked. As God is my witness. It has been over-smoked. The temperature is not holding. As God is my witness. He is risen. I mixed an Easter shout-out in there, too. Shouts to Easter. Yeah, that's good.

I just want every meat pick. It doesn't need to be on Twitter, because I understand that that comes with a lot of outsiders and meat experts. But I think every piece of meat that the squad has in their arsenal, I want that in the group text every single time. Because I'm interested. I need to expand my horizons. I will say that after this weekend, I've never been more in on getting a Traeger when appropriate in my life. He did respond to

a tweet. I don't know if you saw this. Someone said, does that look super dry or is it just me? LOL. And he responded, quote tweeted, haha ask Benny Wiley, who I believe is their strength and conditioning coach, if it was legit, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. That's not the guy to ask. Is he trying to shift the blame that he didn't actually do this?

No, he was just saying this guy tried it. Ask him what he thinks. Don't drag him down with you. I don't know if Benny responded. He just did the conceded gif. Do you think the strength and conditioning coach just stood there like me? Here's the thing. A strength and conditioning coach

has never seen a slab of meat he didn't like. He did respond. They will eat all the meat. Doesn't matter how overcooked it is. He said, Unbelievable, dot, dot, dot. Brisket tacos on point. Oh, you mean the ones that you cover with salsa

and everything else? Sorry. They put Sweet Baby Ray's on that. I'm sorry. If you're putting the brisket directly into a taco, the brisket ain't that good. It's a different ball game. It's like, how can we make this taste better?

Let's dress it up. Let's put a tortilla around it. A little brisket wrap? He used to be the strength coach for Texas. Oh, house divided. Oh, he's an OU guy now. What was he, what was he going to do?

Like, what was he going to throw his boss under the bus? Like, yeah, brisket actually, it was fucking terrible, man.

Wasn't there some guy on the timeline lately who said that brisket, if you're talking brisket, you're not talking barbecue? Did someone say that? Someone said that recently. That was in No Laying Up,

Austin Thread. Somebody said brisket, I'll take, someone was like, I will die on this hill. Brisket is not a barbecue. Okay. I did not follow. I mean, if people want to talk shit about turkey or something, like I'd get it, but like at the same time,

like I still enjoy the turkey. It's something about like, I don't know, Vietnam and like how they used to – the only true barbecue is swine, is pig because of Vietnam and that's what this – I don't know, man. I'm trying to argue for – and I don't even know. I tuned out. Clones.

You just sigh. I don't know. I don't know how to respond to that. It's, whatever. How many patrons for you to post a pic of your meat to the timeline? A steak, maybe. 5,000. Tube steak.

Ooh, I'm going to do a little tube steak. A little tubey? Or pork loin. Pork loin, that's a boring one. It is. But how many patrons? Again, I ask. 5,000, David.

We got action. Action? Hey, we just had a big mention on the TL. Really? This is breaking news. The lead singer of Eve 6. No. What?

No, I'm getting excited. The lead singer of Eve 6 has responded to someone's tweet asking if he listens to Circling Back, and he said, no, I guess I should. Did we just gain a patron? Wow. Patreon.com slash circlingbackpodcast. Man, I don't want him to. I don't want to because I fear the smoke from the Eve 6.

Me too. He's too unhinged, man. I love it, but I'm scared of him. I mean, he's the best follow on Twitter. Dylan, you wouldn't get it. You were in another galaxy when they were dropping some fire. You were probably lost in the sauce. Your sweet baby rays.

Yeah, I'll listen to that. You never found nothing but faith in nothing. Didn't they used to call you the KC Masterpiece? Mm-hmm. That's cool. Oh, they sing that song too? I mean, yeah, probably. They didn't botch the lyrics.

I got to a beautiful oblivion, that one. Rendezvous and I'm through with you. I mean, yeah, probably. They didn't botch the lyrics. I just did. Beautiful Oblivion, that one. Rendezvous and I'm Through With You. Yeah, okay. I know that song. Is that you and Bae's song? Brisket in a Traeger.

Watch it smoke. That's not Bannock's song. Want to put my son's breakfast in a blender. Watch him gain some weight and get really big and handsome. I can't call your eight-month-old handsome. He did, not me. That's just weird. I've never seen the kid. He could be ugly as fuck for all I know.

Did he post a pic of the 8-month-old? He did, but he... You can't call... In the same breath of not being able to call an 8-month-old handsome, you can't call him ugly as fuck either. Don't post your baby on the TL. Yeah, you got to be careful with your ugly baby on the TL. Brisket's and babies.

Keep them out. Don't... Yeah. Can we do a Yeah, you got to be careful with your ugly babies on the TL. Brisket and babies. Keep them out. Don't, yeah. Can we do a new sponsor alert, Dylan? New sponsor. New sponsor alert. I think I can say something that we all agree with. Balls are great, but they have their own set of issues, of which I have many. It's no secret that groin, crotch, and balls are prone to sweat, odor, and some real unlucky ones.

Irritation, itch, and chafing. You know we're all swamp boys on this podcast. I mean, Dylan claims he's not. I don't believe him at all. Irritation, itch, and chafing. You know we're all swamp boys on this podcast. I mean, Dylan claims he's not. I don't believe him at all. Irritation. How much of a swamp boy? Boss chafing. I'm a big swamp boy.

I live in the swamp. Yeah, we know that about you. You live in the swamp. I live in the swamp. I'm going to drain the swamp from you. This past weekend's weather, outside of the gloominess that came along with Saturday, outside of that, like the temps, they've just been prime. Great golf weather.

And I'm absolutely dreading this week where I think there's a 95 in the forecast. Dude, I'm not ready. Swamp season is upon us. Dude, it's in full effect. It's approaching. We need to get prepared to eliminate swamp ass that can cause less than ideal situations down low. I've tried a million different things in my life trying to remedy this.

It's been something that's plagued me ever since playing pickup basketball in middle school and I got swamp ass for the first time. My buddy called me swamp ass for the first time. My buddy called me swamp thang for a month. That's not cool. No, it was a tough month. The stigma of swamp ass is just, it's terrible. Dude, I'd be walking down the halls at school and people, swamp thang!

I was like, dude, what the, what's your problem? Yeah, that's not cool. But guess what? Ballsy, our new sponsor. Ballsy got us, man. Dude, they've got Ballguard. It's a revolution in testicle deodorant technology. Ballguard replaces the messy talc aluminum-filled powders that create a chemical cake batter on your crotch.

Ballguard is a ball deodorant that goes on as soothing as lotion and quickly dries out as a soft, silky powder to eliminate sweat, itch, and odor. Your balls will be sweat-free and smooth, baby. Let's go. So I had the pleasure of using this this weekend really yeah i did played golf knew it was going to warm up into the into the mid upper 70s but it was a little humid had the wind out of the south off the gulf and i was a little bit worried about swamp ass i was so i i pulled out the ballsy. They sent us a nice care kit. I put some in my dop kit before I came up to Dallas and

let me tell you, these balls were very fresh, Dylan. The balls wasn't hot. My balls was not hot. Right. These balls would have made you proud. I wish I could have seen them, man. You should have seen them. You should have smelled them. I would love to. Next time.

What? They're allowing us to go crazy with this ad copy, but would you guys mind if I just read one line from the copy? Yeah, I really just said I wanted to smell this. Oh, I know which one you're going to read. This is a line. It just says, Nads, nards, jiggly bits, family jewels, dandy danglers, hangy downs, balls.

Hangy downs. Can I read an ad or a line from the ad? You can. Say goodbye to the crotchness balls. Hangy downs. Can I read an ad or a line from the ad? You can. Say goodbye to the crotchness monster. That's good. And stay dry behind that fly. That's good. That's good.

I wish I could say we wrote these, but this is fantastic. I'm jealous. Like, yeah, if I could write this, get a copy, I wouldn't be doing this podcast. They need to do a podcast. What's up with this nut rub, man? That sounds tight. The nut rub? Dude, it's a beeswax-based solid cologne, and it it's portable it's ready for action on any and all parts of your body it's a ball cologne

that's made with bees net beeswax coconut oil and free ball burning alcohol yeah ball burning alcohol i'm gonna hit the boys with a little nut rub do i have to let me tell you this it smells so good that people won't mind their beeswax because they're going to be asking about your good smelling ball sack wow Wow. Yeah. Wow. Say goodbye to the groin goblin. They also have ball wash. Bye, bitch. They have a ball wash, and I'm not talking about the thing at the golf course that you

go up and down with, Dylan. What if you- Dave, whatever your name is. That's Dave over there. I'm Dave. You fucking know me. Dude, the ball wash. You can treat your family jewels like royalty with a high quality ball or high quality wash

packed with essential oils and plant extracts. God. You have to do it. Dude, balls are so in in 2021. I've always said that. Dude, it's time to upgrade your balls with ball wash. Just everything ball-related. Ball guard, ball wash, everything.

I've said that ball is life on more than one occasion. You have, yeah. And I think I'm going to upgrade that. Balls is life. Dude, when I'm sweating, when I'm, like, sweating, ball is life because it's all I can think about. I'm like, oh, man. Dude. if i have to go up and get a beer over here at like the bar and people look at me like and they see this giant ass sweat it's gonna be ugly dude car girl pulls up and you untuck your shirt yeah please be long enough please be long

enough i don't want to look like a loser uh dude the hot the hot vinyl of a golf cart in the summer and like you sit down on it you're like oh no it's just boiling what have i done get 20 off your order with washed 20 at checkout at ballsybrand.com again that's washed 20 at checkout at ballsybrand.com can we talk about this uh australian dude who got beat up by an octopus um how does that happen have you guys ever gotten beaten up by an animal How does that happen? Have you guys ever gotten beaten up by an animal? Ooh. Well, a man has been whipped by what he described as, quote,

the angriest octopus while swimming on holiday at a Western Australia beach. Dude, imagine you're taking like eight hands, you know? Tentacles. It's a tentacle. Hard enough keeping two away. How do you block eight? Goro. I can catch two hands, but catching eight? That's like four people.

It's crazy, dude. There's probably an anime movie. Randy probably watched it. Where there's a guy fighting an octopus-human hybrid. And then it turns from fighting. Turns what? Well, the guy posted a video video and it just shows this octopus kind of lunging and throwing

its legs. This is a large octopus. Which to me would be a signal that maybe I don't go in the water because this octopus is clearly not happy with what I'm doing. One of the creepier animals. They're very smart. But then they said the creature came after him again later and struck him on the arm before whipping his neck and upper back. The tentacles

left stinging red welts on his skin, which Mr. Carlson said only eased after he poured a cola over them. Yeah, I saw that. He hit the cola. The cola button. It says tentacles left stinging with red welts. Oh, no. I just read that part. Shouts to me. Yeah, he said that

he knew anything acidic might help. Did you guys know that acid works with... A lot of people say pee pee? Or is that just for jellyfish? That's just for jellyfish. Find out, bitch. I don't know. I mean, why is Australia is just like, wow.

You know, I have a rule. I don't get into the water in Australia. Really? I don't even get into pools. I just don't trust shower over there. I do shower, but it's a washcloth shower okay much like during the great freeze in austin 2021 i don't like it when you bring up your washcloth shower about during the great freeze because it just makes me sad well it made me sad you should have been there

were you crying in the shower when this happened i did i needed ballsy in a bad way for the freeze because we didn't have water that makes sense that makes sense this uh this octopus is fairly terrifying like if i see an octopus which sometimes it's hard to see because sometimes they blend in so well but if i see one i'm usually not swimming towards it those things are smart they have emotions they're very intelligent creatures i don't i don't want to mess with it i don't understand how this guy had it lunge at him once and then he decided you know what screw it i'm gonna get back in the water like he was asking for the smoke i've i've sung enough sea shanties to know that you should not mess with the octopus did the wellerman ever come no they did but you had to pay extra to see it that makes sense onlyfans.com slash wellerman they're doing well

man they just turned 18 already million. That's really cool for them. I'm lost. Okay. In the sauce, but also just in the conversation. Okay. Also, like, growing up playing, I guess they were squids in Mario, but, like, the underwater Mario levels that were very difficult, the squid, if it touched you, you'd die.

Dude, what's up with the giant squids, man? I don't know. They freak me out. Why do they got to be so big? It freaks me out, man. I met some dudes who knew you in high school. They said you were a squid in high school. Yeah, they said you were a giant squid.

No one ever described me that way. That's what they said, though. No. I talked to some of your boys. Really? Who? Name them. Martin.

Boy. You go to Martin? Martin. Nah. James. Uh-uh. What are some other names mark mark didn't go to school did he anybody by that no mark no mark you weren't chill with mark there was probably mark in my graduating class had to have been a mark i didn't chill with him he was not like one of the cool guys squid was i feel like squids regional that That's northeast. Yeah, but I like it.

Brett says squid. I was never called a squid, surprisingly, but if I had gone to school in the northeast, I would have been a squid. Yeah, you got squid vibes for sure. Okay. The guy said he was about to take a dip near the resort where he and his family were staying and this is a wild name for a place. The place is literally called Geography Bay. B-A-E?

Yeah, Dylan. B-A-E. We get we get it dude you have a girlfriend he said when he saw he thought was it the tail of a stingray striking a seagull and he discovered that it was an octopus only when he walked closer to his two-year-old daughter and was filming a video of it when it suddenly struck in their direction now i know i'm not'm not a parent yet. I'm a parent and wedding. Soon to be. Let me be the first to congratulate you. But if I see what I think is a squid attacking a seagull, I'm probably not going to bring my two-year-old over there to check out the scene.

I'm diving in because I really have enjoyed a lot of Jason Segel movies. Okay. And I'm going to help the guy if he needs help. Is he even cool anymore? Do people even watch his shit? I don't know. Is he the guy who pulled his wiener out in that one movie? Mm-hmm. Okay. And I'm like, I'm going to help the guy if he needs help. Is he even cool anymore? Do people even watch this shit? I don't know. Is he the guy who pulled his wiener out in that one movie? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Which movie? Forgetting Sarah Marshall. This guy's an idiot. Oh, yeah. He even said, he said, the octopus lashed

out at us, which was a real shock. It's like, what was it? It literally was trying to kill a seagull two seconds earlier, and then you decided to go up and check out the scene. Hey, hey, what's going on here? He said later, when he went in the water alone, the octopus found him again and struck him, and he said, quote, my goggles became fogged, the water was suddenly murky, and I remember being shocked and confused.

Did you just do Mr. Belding? I did. Thank you. That was pretty good. How did you even know that? Hey, hey, hey, what is going on here? I watched that show, dog. You and your tentacles.

Did you see the new one? It was really good, I heard. No. Man, you know, I hit Dave up. Stream room. Yeah, before the new Saved by the Bell came out, I hit Dave up and I said, hey, like, Dylan's probably not going to want to watch this, but, like, if you want to do a recap pod for Patreon or something, it might be pretty funny just to do, like, a one-off episode. This is

all true. Then I watched 15 minutes of the first episode and i thought to myself man i don't i don't see a world where i keep keep doing this yeah will like text me he's like dude i regret to inform you this is bad this is not good don't waste your time sorry to all the patrons out there who are just absolutely thirsty as fuck for our saved by the bell remake we've been trying to get him to remake uh do like a rod building a remake spinoff or it's just him just he's on only fans for sure it's just him dming just rod dming a bunch of like a bunch of flight attendants rob you're like 65 now you gotta chill dude he's rod was horny horny rod was like laying on the desk like dude chill you can't get a bunch of kids all hyped up for a white water rafting trip and then just dip out with a flight attendant.

That's not how it works. No. All-time scumbag move. Zach was like, dude, I get it. Yeah, Zach understood. Zach will do anything for it. Does the octopus not have the ink or the ink- like substance that it sprays? Is that what was causing this guy's

glasses to fog up? No, I think this guy was just trying to he was asking for this. He was trying to go viral for it. I think he knew he wouldn't get killed by the octopus but he knew that if he got a good whip on the neck that it might be able to go viral. This guy's probably he probably found some fucking shrimp tails in his

Cheerios later that day too. Did they fight in the octagon i'm honestly surprised come on that's good dude you got the seinfeld music octopus no i was gone no that was good i'm just i i'm really surprised that like this dude got the the worst end of it because like by all accounts this thing this thing was a total puss so um come on dude do the octagon come on i mean yours is probably better yeah i think so i think yours deserve more respect than dylan is giving it but dylan also was just too busy gassing up his own joke i set the i set the table for him though though. I'll put it on a tee. I lobbed it up, and he just had to throw it down. Yeah, we understand. It was a great lob.

So is this guy okay? Yeah, the guy's totally fine. He's fine. Like, him saying that he got beat up by this thing, it's like, dude, you... He took a two-piece. An octopus, like, slapped you across the head because you were in his space like you just deal with it he caught those hands like not bruce campbell yeah not bruce campbell and i don't know who that is but yes you didn't know bruce campbell was he freaking uh say it tell me i don't know what dude there's saltwater crocs in australia don't get in

the water i if i've learned anything about australia it said Dude, there's saltwater crocs in Australia. Don't get in the water. If I've learned anything about Australia, it's that if there's an animal there, you don't fuck with it. Remember, the whole reason we tried to adopt a kangaroo on Touching Base was because of that kangaroo that was just bowing up against people. We've seen him on the golf course just taking guys out. Just couldn't stop throwing hands, man. I don't fuck with kangaroos. Unless we had one. Who wins?

A kangaroo or an octopus? A kangaroo, dog. Should I reach out to someone at Grand X and see if I can get my emails forwarded from my old email just in case they're trying?

Do you think the guy at the kangaroo farm, he's like, dude, can you please get back to me? We've had this kangaroo on hold for you for months. I wonder how many emails

I missed from the old Grand X account. Well, what's cool is that if you used your email as a login for something and you don't remember your login, then you have no way of retrieving that, which means that you're just done with that service. Yeah, my Nordstrom card is linked to my Grand X email, and every time I ask them to change it, they fail. Man, my email was shut down before I even hit the parking lot on my way out of the building.

They were like, you're done. They did it the night before? Yeah. So now every time I buy something at Nord's, they're like, is this email still correct? And I just go, yeah, I don't want to argue about it. It's fine. Just send it to it.

I don't care. Damn, dude. I know, dude. You're down bad. I'm sorry. Life's hard. Do you guys want some wheels breaking news? I already clicked on both these links. No, you didn't, dude. What are you doing? I'm kidding. Life's hard. Do you guys want some Will's breaking news? Mm-hmm. I already clicked on both these links.

No, you didn't, dude. What are you doing? I'm kidding. Shut up. You do like to ruin my breaking news. Brent's not out on breaking news lately. I think he's just out there playing Call of Duty with KJ right now. Is he too good for breaking news?

I think he might be. Let's talk babies, man. Okay, we got Russian dudes. You guys want Russian dudes? Bieber or babies? I want to find find what's new in babies well yeah is this the handsome baby you probably think it's a beautiful baby i wish yeah a uk woman gave birth to super twins conceived three weeks apart

what makes them super they're very handsome going back to that one dude she had two babies at the same time that were conceived three weeks apart. Surely she wasn't in labor for three weeks straight, right? No, Dylan. Do you know what conception is? Oh, conceived. Oh, I was thinking birthed. No, she didn't go through a three-week labor.

I wasn't listening at all. You were looking right at him. Okay. They already have. Okay. I think this was cool to me until I saw that now she has, there's already an Instagram account set up for these two little things. She's going to have a reality show.

She's going to be the new Octo mom. Speaking of Octos. So are they, they're not twins then, right? Because they, they're super twins. Yeah, but they didn't share a, I don't know the terminology here, but. It says Roberts became, had become pregnant when the twins, with the twins. I can't know the terminology here, but... It says Roberts had become pregnant with the twins. I can't read today. Through a phenomenon known as superfetation.

It occurs when an egg is released from a woman's ovary after she's already pregnant and implants alongside the first embryo. Superfetation. Did I already say that word or is that a different word? You did. I think it's the same word. It pronounces what are called super twins. It's very rare and there are only a few documented cases in the world.

Those twins are definitely built different. It makes me happy knowing that like these weren't born three weeks apart. Like she didn't have one kid and then have the other one because I think that would be very difficult to do. I don't know. Maybe we have some people in STEM that can explain why that wouldn't be possible. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Was this natural or stem cell therapy? Hard to say.

Are they genetically identical like twins are? No. I don't think so. Okay. No, because the zygote. Right. I see you got the zygote. And then there's zygite.

Right. Remember zygite? Yeah, I do. You called me on Twitter. Me too. Yeah, so one of them was three weeks premature. Is that right? Well, I guess you could say that.

Full gestation period. You know, technically, I think you might be right there, Dan. Dang, this is weird, man. So the egg, so you had double fertilization. Fertilization. Nope, doesn't work. A lot of breathing Syllables are off

Yeah the syllables are definitely off Yeah But you tried That's what really matters Yeah Did you hear about this Russian dude Named Vladimir Putin He was voted the sexiest man in Russia

How does that make you feel David Isn't it like the 20th year in a row or something Probably It's like how Kim Jong Un Or Kim Jong Il Man of the year He shot a 38 on an 18-hole course. What if we...

He had seven holes in ones. Yeah. Okay, what publication? He's a handsome man by every metric. You think so? Everyone says that. You think that he should be the handsomest man in the world. There are a lot of hot Russian dudes, though.

You ever seen John Wick? Is he Russian? No, but I think he's fighting the Russian mob. Remember the bullshit when Blake Shelton won sexiest man of the year or whatever it was for some publication? No fucking way. People? Ever heard of it? More like sexiest fuckface of the year. That guy's a six and a half. Get out of here.

I don't know. That was really aggressive. Sorry. Dylan, I don't rate my kings. That guy's a six and a half. No, he's like six three. He's tall. He's a big boy. It doesn't make him hotter. The inseam on his jeans, which are probably way too long anyway, is like 38 inches because he's already got the 34-inch inseam. And then he just lets those things drag on the ground behind his cowboy boots. I was going to say he's high cut.

Is he high cut? We've got to ask Klein. Dude, he's country from his cowboy boots to his down-home roots. I mean, a decent looking man sure but sexiest can we talk about the russian dude out of here vladimir putin more than a dude what if we started doing that and it was like joe biden sexiest man in the united states yeah like this was so stupid you tell me there aren't hotter dudes in Russia? No, there probably are.

Right. I don't know. You've seen the shirtless horse pic of him? Like, he's built. He's built different. He's, oh, come on. Maybe he's been slimming down his arms lately. I think he's a judo black belt.

If they even do belts in judo, they probably do. I don't know. Don't appropriate judo culture, dude. He does judo. He'll hip toss you. J chop that offends me as someone who watches mma sorry that i offended you who's name a hotter russian dude just off the top of your head i don't know of many russian dudes i mean the I don't know

Yeah I don't either I was hoping you had one Ivan Drago Is he even Russian? He was hot I just googled hot Russian dudes And like I don't know who this guy is

But like Is he scorching? He's definitely hotter than fucking Putin That's for sure This guy's an absolute snack I picked that guy I think the Klitschko brothers Are Ukrainian technically But it's very close That's a bum. This guy's an absolute snack. I picked that guy. I think the Klitschko brothers are Ukrainian, technically, but it's very close.

That's a bummer. Which part? That they're Ukrainian and not Russian. Yeah. Wouldn't you rather have them be Russian? Which one is sketchier? Just for the narrative? They'd sell more pay-per-views.

Which country is sketchier? The thing about pay-per-views is that you pay per view. Well, Ukraine, it's interesting because they share a lot of – I'm going to talk and I don't know. I just – I don't want to hear it. People are already mad because I was gassing up Hampton, Connecticut. It's like, dude, have you guys – it's like people never heard of Hampton. I'll be honest. I almost called you out for that when it happened, but like I had no basis of calling you out.

I was like, I've never been to the Hamptons. I don't fucking know where these things are. But I've been on like Long Island or something. Well, if you go back and listen, I was obviously talking about Hampton specifically, which is in Connecticut. That's a good point. So. All right. We don't fact check here.

What's the – did you take a story off breaking news? Yeah, it just wasn't that good. And we're running the appropriate amount of time, and I decided, you know what? This story sucks. Let's just not do it. Give us 10 seconds. Will's pitch on the Bieber story. So some dude got kicked out.

He got kicked out of the most exclusive club or membership place, like a Soho House kind of place in Los Angeles because he tipped off the paparazzi that Haley and Justin were going to come to the club. And they were like, hey, buddy. Good. Get out of here. Hit the road. How'd they know it was him?

Scram. I don't know. They probably had DM screenshots or some shit. He was probably taking commission from all the paparazzi that surrounded him. Scram's a good one. Scandattle. Yeah. Hit the bricks, pal.

Hit the road. Don't you come back. Good. That was a fun one. Good. If someone tips off that Dylan's going to Mattel Rancho, Dylan just gets pissed. Dylan does it on This Weekend of Fun. He blatantly says where he'll be so people will come back,

dude, man, I love you. Can I get a pic? I don't do that. I think you do. I don't do that. I think you do. Never. When we're trying to figure out dinner plans,

Dylan's like, let's go to Matt's, dude. We're going to see some listeners there. I never say that. I'm feeling kind of bad about myself. Let's go to Matt's and I can get a confidence boost. It's time to wrap this. That's how you though no i don't think so that's down bad dylan new character down bad dylan bye
