all right we're back it's the 11th day of february my name is will defries am i right dave ruff you didn't think we'd be back did you but we're back i It's the 11th day of February. My name is Will DeFries. To my right, Dave Ruff. You didn't think we'd be back, did you? But we're back. I don't think anybody was worried we wouldn't be back. No, I saw it. I saw it on Twitter. Nah. Hey, man, thanks for having me back, by the way.

Dude, it's always good to have you. You're one of my favorite guests to have on this podcast, man. This keeps showing up, Dave. You're here pretty much every time we record. Just when I thought I was out, you pulled me back in. Dave walked into the stew today, and he looked like he had just gotten done a yoga class. He's been wearing these new Lululemon joggers. And one, they go really hard, and I'm really jealous of them.

But two, they put out a chill vibe. And three, they're the least Randy-friendly pants I own. Just hair all over them? I feel so bad, because I'm leaving the house, and I've got them on. And I want to just on. And you know, I want to just give Randy a big hug, tell him bye.

Of course. I can't, I'm like, I'm doing like the side hug, like trying to keep him off my pants because I don't want

to be dog hair guy. I might stop by your crib once a day just to give him a hug. Dude, come by. Randy, I'll catch you next time, player.

He'd love that. Dylan, what's up, dude? Hey, did you guys see this? i'm glad you're not hung over today like last time no thank you well i wasn't i just appeared to be so hey do you guys hear about this uh this polar bear invasion in russia we don't even get into it or anything explain oh let's get into it 52 polar bears have wandered into a town of 3 000 in russia

and they basically are just tormenting everyone who lives there and they're all freaking out you know because their town is full of polar bears. Do you think that this town in Russia is like super into hyper niche jokes and podcasts and they've been listening to Touching Base like on full blast and these polar bears heard that we were talking about like silverbacks and they're like, oh, this is the reckoning. Oh, no, no, no. This is definitely connected.

Why don't they just release like 50 silverback gorillas into the same village to eradicate the polar bear problem? It's not the the same climate you would think that they would take care of the problem though dave okay no i don't think that actually they wouldn't well i i didn't know this because you know you think of russia and you think they don't you know it's just a bunch of savage shit going down yeah they can't shoot them because they're endangered so they just really that's yeah i love that so they just got to wait for them to leave so yeah hopefully they don't their kids don't this is like that and what's that m night the village m night shamalan movie but like without instead of uh i'm not going to spoil it but instead of those that woodland creature spoil it

it's 2019 instead of the woodland creature that's actually adrian brony in a suit it's uh it's a fucking polar bear it's which is way more terrifying 900 pound killing machine have you guys seen this whole thing on like it's been on i've seen it on both twitter and reddit that shows like how big countries actually are without the distortion of maps have y'all seen this no no it sounds like you've been it makes me feel like the dumbest person in the world because i'm like oh russia isn't taking up half the world it's you know what it is china china china is very big lots of people it's really just weird it's weird seeing it because i'm like oh i'm an idiot i never thought about like the distortion how many people live in russia like a thousand or so gotta be at least a thousand? No, I think it's in the millions. Oh, okay.

That's weird. What if there's just like a thousand people scattered about? That's how I pictured Canada north of the border towns. I just pictured no one living there at all. There's just no one. There's not. It's just ice. I mean, there's people living there, but the population discrepancy between like northern canada versus the border

towns is crazy i mean i think like 14 people live up there yeah i feel like it's more than that i don't think it is it's impossible to say no one really knows it hard to say it hard did you see the thing on the circling back subreddit that was asking like so dylan looks like a cigar store indian dave looks like a russian. And they asked who I looked like. Which Russian leader? I think they're talking about Vladimir Putin. Okay. Not Gorbachev?

No. Damn. Oh, wait. What are the guys? Who are the guys? Okay. So we were. Oh, this was huge for me.

Yeah, this was huge for Dave. We were at a bar on Rainy Street. We're at Eisenhower's. I'll just say it. We're at Eisenhower's. Yeah. I mean, we go's. I'll just say it. We were at Eisenhower's. You'll just say it. You weren't there because you ghosted on the group text.

Y'all need to start a new group text, by the way. This guy comes up and he said, Dave, because he didn't know who Dave was. He said, you look like somebody. He was trying to place him. I was like, is it Vlad Putin? He goes, no, no, no. I was like, who could it be? do you know who he was talking about he goes he goes 007 yeah and i was like i think

my first statement was like edris albin yeah because like he's potentially gonna be the new yeah which you know dave doesn't like him no i don't it was a joke uh what's the guy's name the actor's name daniel craig dan Craig. I was like, huh, okay. Dave was on cloud nine the rest of the day. I don't... He was strutting out of that bar. I think McMahon strutted out of that bar. I don't want to siphon the gas out of this gas tank.

You can't. This tank is full. I don't know. I'm not seeing it. You know how when you fill up your tank and it clicks and then you keep pumping until it clicks again? They call that a top-off, right? They've triple-clicked.

He's just full of gas. I was clicking until I got all even numbers. I think we talked about it on this very podcast. If we could have the build of anybody, who would we have? I said that I wanted Daniel Craig's body that he had in Casino Royale when he's chilling on the beach. Because he's just fucking swole. He's in very good shape. He looks like a rugby player or something.

He's got that full body toning. He's got Russian vibes too, though. Do I all of a sudden want Dave's body? I'm confused. Dave's a fine specimen. Look at this guy. I do yoga. Yeah, that was great.

And if there's any question about what kind of conversations I'm having with people at bars, I'm talking to dudes about who I look like. Yeah. Well, I wanted to get ahead of the narrative on the subreddit post. So I decided to comment with who I've gotten before because I didn't want people just to drag me. And I think it worked. The Ameritrade guy.

The Ameritrade guy was one. That one is so hilarious. That one's niche, people don't see me in public and say, you look like that guy. They just see the commercial and they're like, that looks like people don't associate that guy with Ameritrade because you're so taken aback that it looks so much like you. Yeah. You forget who this commercial is even for. But then the, like when I said, when I was 15 pounds lighter, it was Jason Sudeikis.

I used to get it all the time in Michigan when I'd have like a weak lot, like weak beard going. Yeah. And then I would get Zetterberg too because he had just an identical... We're beard twins. We have the same beard. But I feel bad because I might need to shave my beard in a little bit. And I'm worried about this.

You definitely can't go completely shaved, dude. Because sometimes you got to hit the reset button. Like mash that reset button. Really? Dude, I don't think you'd need to. No. Skin-wise, Dave, it's important. It's important.

I've been feeling bad about my beard lately. Have you started? Oh, that guy criticized your beard. He did. The same guy who gassed up Dave. He gassed up Klein's beard. That's how he came up to us. He siphoned me big time.

He was like, yeah, that beard's not working. What did this guy look like? He was a pretty standard looking young man. Wait, was he? I thought he was an older black dude. Yeah. He was definitely older than that. He was.

Was he not? He was probably. That's why he thought my Idris Elba joke was just killer. He was probably 30. Okay. Yeah, he completely threw you. He came up and approached us because intern Klein was standing there just to talk about klein's beard and dylan's like what about my beard and he's like that ain't it i mean not to gas myself up but had i been there like klein would have been

dusting the wind yeah you would yeah yeah 100 sorry dog you would have dusted klein no i might have to hit the reset button on this thing i've had some itchiness lately i've had some ingrown hairs and i've had some uh flakage and so i think i need to triple threat yeah i think i might need to shave it off put some skin stuff on it and grow back out in three weeks i'm not looking forward to it i'm not happy about it i don't remember the last time i didn't have a beard i can't picture you with just a five o'clock shadow you scare me when you don't have a beard i know i'm scared of you i know who said that somebody once said and this is mean but it was funny, that you look like a, when you were fully shaven, you look like an alcoholic stepfather.

No, like a recovering, yeah. Which, I know who said that, and he may or may not listen to this podcast, and. Expose him. Expose him. It's big t-shirt, Matt. Oh. And he grows a patchy ass beard. So I wanted to be like, hey, don't come at my face without a beard.

And then you try to grow a beard and you have a patchy beard. Damn. His beard has Dylan vibes. I mean, Dylan's got a patchy-ass beard. Which is not a compliment. You've got a patchy-ass beard. But there's something about yours that I like. And I don't necessarily know what it is.

Okay. I think it might just be like the shape of the chin end of the mustache okay it i need to trim it it's a little bit long right now but thank you i texted yeah that soul patch is kind of grossing me out it's gross i may or may not be getting a beard trim today we'll find out that was fun and easy banter if you haven't already go follow circling back pot on twitter and instagram subscribe on apple podcast spotify google podcast stitcher everything just download whatever you know where you can listen to podcasts and just subscribe just to help us out it's not that hard

I'm escalating it from help desk to desktop admin. I'm glad you're taking care of it to customer support yeah do you know one of the most important things we do for our health every day is yes what dental hygiene brushing our teeth yeah yet most of us don't even do it properly it's it's crazy quip is a better electric toothbrush

created by dentists and designers it was designed to make brushing your teeth more simple, affordable, and even enjoyable. We all have one of these. All of us. Every single one of us. They recently sent me my second wave of, like, you know, the new brush head. Yeah.

Battery and toothpaste. I'll be honest, I didn't even know they did that. I forgot about it. It's like, oh, shit, the servers actually follow up and give you new stuff. Yeah, I had no idea. Well, I did. I just forgot.

I still had toothpaste left over from that other time. That's incredible. Embarrassment of riches. These toothbrushes offer sensitive sonic vibrations, gentle enough on your sensitive gums. I'm a sensitive guy. Yeah, you are. It's such a good vibration. It's such a sweet sensation.

Most people brush too hard. Dave, are you a hard brusher no i learned i learned the hard way that i shouldn't do that it affects your gum so i'm a very light to the tooth some people are you know hard brushers and they uh and electric toothbrushes are too abrasive but this has a built-in two-minute timer that pulses every 30 seconds and reminds you to switch sides. You know who hard brushes? Guys who brush their teeth at the gym. In the locker room. They're notoriously hard brushers.

Yeah, they gotta chill. Yeah, I've been recommending Quip to everybody at the gym. People are getting really annoyed. Because I'm like, I'm not wearing any pants. I'm just like, hey man, you should try this toothbrush. Like, dude, get out of my face.

It also has a multi-use cover mount that you can mount to your mirror i love that is yours mounted mine is mounted and i took it to go the other day because it's also a cover for it to put in your dop kit and sally mounted it to the bathroom where we were staying and i couldn't find it because i was so used to those broke boy toothbrushes that just sit on the counter. And she's like, well, no, no, no. Wait, that mirror mount thing is also a travel cover? Yeah.

I told you. I just said it. It's multi-use. I had no idea. It's multi-use. Yeah, it's pretty cool. I'm missing all these great features. I didn't even know about them.

It declutters your sink or cabinet. It makes traveling with an electric toothbrush earlier. Easier, I'm sorry. Like, think about it. You never take an electric one with you you use some like lame ass other brand where you just toss it in your thing and it gets all dirty it gets like hairs on it from your beard oh god oh we don't need that plus if you mount it it's way less likely to get little like bugs on it if you have any like issues like to crawl from the drain what

stop i'm just saying it's better to have it mounted up in the air. What are you doing? That's gross. Quip is one of the first electric toothbrushes accepted by the American Dental Association and has thousands of verified five-star reviews. You already know why we love Quip. We've talked about it ad nauseum

in this podcast right now. Kind of obnoxiously so. They're backed by over 20,000 dental professionals. They start start at just 25 and if you go to getquip.com circling back again that's getquip.com circling back which is the name of our podcast you get your first refill pack for free with your quip electric toothbrush i don't know about you guys, but I can't wait to get equipped. Nope. It's getquip.com, Dave. Yes. Circling back.

That's G-E-T-Q-U-I-P dot com slash circling back. First refill pack is free. Is the next item on this rundown, is that a go? Are we finally doing this? I'm excited. It's something we haven't done in a while. All right, let's do some Vice Headlines. Let's something we haven't done in a while. Alright, let's do some Vice headlines. Some would say we haven't done it yet

on this new format. I actually almost had you do Vice headlines for today, but then I realized that I went through some Vice social media this weekend and I would have known a lot of them. They had some really funny headlines this weekend. People really got out ahead of this segment and they would tweet at us

back in the day. They were pretty good about not tweeting at Dylan and I, I feel like, regarding some headlines. There were some that were just unmissable. Yeah. Yeah. What we're doing right now is a throwback to a column I used to do, to something we used to discuss on this podcast, and it's where people would send in some weekends that they had in their lives that got maybe a little out of hand. Maybe they got too drunk. Maybe they just make some bad decisions. In this case, it's not drunk, but something else. And these are just some bad weekends. So if you could send yours, if you

have a bad weekend story of your own, send it to will, W-I-L-L, at washedmedia.com. You might see it in column form somewhere. Just a tease. We're not sure yet. It just depends on the volume that I get. But we're going to try to do these on Mondays just because, you know, they're fun. It was my favorite column to write. It was one of my favorite things to do on this podcast. We're going to do another one.

Again, that's will at washedmedia.com. Should we do the first one? Yep. Let's do it. Tell me if you guys need a break. So you want to like chime into something. Yeah. I'll interject.

As always, these are anonymous. I'm not going to screw up for anybody. People got jobs to apply for. I get that. He says, I apologize for any formatting errors. I'm typing this out from my phone while in the airport. Bad sign. If you have nothing better to do in the airport than type this out from my phone while in the airport. Bad sign.

Mm-hmm. If you have nothing better to do in the airport than type this out, you're in dire straits. If he's compelled to share his story with us like right after it happened,

like, you know, on the way back home, something happened. Something dark. He said, this past weekend I had some friends fly in to see me.

I'm a recent college grad working on the sales side of the oil and gas industry in Denver, Colorado. A little flex there. A little flex. That sounds awesome. Yeah. This might be an unnecessary detail, but it was definitely a flex. Thank you for including it as a little flex. He said, this was my first trip my friends

four other dudes had made to see me and we were celebrating me getting a new apartment and a buddy who just got engaged. It seems like it was probably more the engagement than maybe the the new apartment but yeah my friends are all hard-working kids that i met during my time at a fraternity in a fraternity at a big 10 midwestern school frat big 10 yeah okay so oh use let's just decide let's just decide who we want him to go. Like, where we hope he would go. Do we have any guesses?

Purdue? I don't want him to go to Purdue. No, that's a terrible choice. Why would you choose Purdue? I don't know. More like Perdont. I'm going to say Ohio State. That's the obvious one.

I was just throwing something new out there for y'all. Yeah. For the kids. That's fair. I'm going to say throwing something new out there for y'all. Yeah. For the kids. That's fair. I'm going to say he went to... Michigan State? No. I'm going to say he went to Wisconsin.

Ooh, good one. I'm going to say he went to Wisconsin. He puts out Wisconsin vibes. Apparently a great college town. If you've never been to Madison, go. It is such a cool city. Okay. He said... this was my sorry i already read that part being from the midwest most most of these guys haven't ever stepped foot in a into

a place that dispenses cannabis oh no as you know denver does oh yeah i've never actually been to denver since weed has been legal there I've only been in my high school days said they arrived on Wednesday and we all bought a hundred milligrams tube of gummies for twenty dollars on the first night is that a lot? I'm sorry explain that

a hundred milligrams for twenty dollars yeah it has ten gummies in there and they're each ten milligrams okay that's pretty standard if you're a first timer ten might be For $20. Yeah, it has 10 gummies in there, and they're each 10 milligram. Okay. Okay. Whoa. That's pretty standard. If you're a first-timer, 10 might be... Yeah, if you're a first-timer, I would recommend cutting them in half, maybe.

Yeah, maybe nibble on it. Start with a little five spot. See how that does for you. He said, the guys all had a gummy and had a great time. On Saturday night, the last night of the trip, they all wanted to finish their gummies and go out. Bad idea. Each member of the group excluding Todd, which I assume this guy changed names and just used the name Todd,

which I enjoy. Todd said he was sick because he ate roughly 50 to 70 milligrams of THC at about 8pm. Why'd he do that? I don't know. That seems like a lot. That's half a tube tube That is quite a bit We immediately leave for the bar

And have a good time For about an hour and a half By 10pm Everyone's freaking out I smoke a lot I smoke a lot of kill Living in Denver So I feel better than my boys

But I'm still freaking out inside So he's got that tolerance up We get it dude You smoke weed As the night continues Todd and i run up the troops and get everyone home with snacks and water but there's a problem we only have four total and we're missing another friend let's call him bob bob isn't answering his phone and has a flight to chicago at 9 a.m oh no after three hours which is roughly 4 a.m we get a call from a girl at the

university of denver saying bob is at her apartment and has passed out and needs a ride Denver University. Great hockey program, correct? Mm-hmm. My father went there. He got me a jersey one time, which somehow got lost in the mix, and I have no clue where it is. Yeah. It was a tight Denver hockey jersey. Yeah, I somehow got lost in the mix, and I have no clue where it is. Yeah. It was a tight Denver hockey jersey. Yeah, I've always heard that's a cool little school.

It may not even be little. We didn't even go by there when my dad and I were there in high school. I don't know why. It would have been tight. He said, when we wake up for our flights, he said, I'm flying to Dallas for work. Majority of them are flying to Chicago. See, this is why I think all these Chicago kids, I bet they're Wisconsin guys. They all realize they're still very high

and the guys start freaking out. Getting through airport security into the gate on time high was not a good way to spend a Sunday. Also, one of the guys lost his work-issued laptop. Not sure how. Maybe because he ate

between 50 and 70 milligrams of weed. You never want to lose the lappy. Hopefully this serves as a lesson. Be careful with edibles. And that's it. So I feel like this is a case that happens a lot when people travel somewhere

where there's legalized marijuana. Whether it's California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington? Washington for sure. They don't want to bring it home. And they overbuy. So they just fucking go hard. Do you guys want to pull back the curtain?

There is no curtain. We already ripped it down. Yeah, we burned it. So we've been places where we have bought medical marijuana. Correct? Well, it's recreational. It's not medical. It's just legalized.

Whatever. Sorry. Yeah. Get it right. Have you guys ever had an experience where you take too many edibles and freak out? No, because I'm terrified of everything. I'm terrified of weed, of everything. Yeah, I have.

So I limp into the situation if I'm going to partake. I think I've told... Have I told this story? Maybe it was on Ross' pod. I don't think you've ever told it on this very podcast. In college. I had never done it. I was not a big cannabis user i was like occasional yeah uh and i had some friends who were super into it we were home for the summer they were going to make their own brownies and they did they did like the they they did the thing where they make like

the butter with the cannabis the pot, and then they made brownies. This is where people get in trouble. Yeah, the homebrew is dangerous. Because a brownie, okay, if you're buying from a place like a dispensary, and let's say you're buying a tube of gummies, you know what you're getting. You know you're getting 10 milligrams in one little gummy. You know what you're getting. You know you're getting 10 milligrams in one little gummy.

But if your friend Kyle is making brownies in his kitchen, who knows how much is actually in there? Dude, that's classic Kyle. How did you know? Kyle Bandujo. Kyle is so bad about rationing out the THC. So you don't know if one bite has 3 milligrams of THC in it or if it has 40. You just don't know.

Funny you say that, Dylan. I didn't know. And we had did some, they were rolling blunts before, so we weren't just like, yeah, there was some blunt rolling. Damn, you got some hard friends. I didn't know how much to eat,

and nobody prepared me, and we threw on Old School. This is like year one or two of that movie, being like the thing that everybody watches and there was some some scene happened i remember it just hit me and i got up and i started pacing back and forth and i was not like my heart rate elevated and i was like oh no what the fuck's going on i feel like dude just go lay down go lay down in bed it was this guy's girlfriend's place laid down in her bed don't ask me why she had a like a wall life-size thing life-size a big thing

of betty boop on the wall never betty boop the cartoon character where were you were you in a trap house this is not a trap house uh although it might be now betty boop i remember laying there and like just being like wide awake heart rate pounding it was probably a panic attack and i just didn't know it i swear to god i remember this betty boob jumped off the wall and like started walking around the bed and it's like oh i was laying in it and i and that was the only time i've ever hallucinated like that and i remember i went home and i was throwing up and i was i got in my own head about it and I was worried that I was never going to be like mentally right again and I wasn't cool for months like I'm not cool I was not

hallucinating but if somebody if I smelled pot I my heart would like triggered something it was a trigger and it was it was very scary time for me and of course the other reason why people get in trouble with edibles because it takes so long to set in, to kick in, the effects to take over. Yeah. And so you take a little bit like, oh, it's not doing anything. Let me take a bunch more. I mean, you've got 45 minutes to spare. Just wait.

It probably takes an hour to an hour and a half sometimes for it to actually kick in. Some people are like, oh, this doesn't work. Let me take a bunch more. And then it finally catches up to you. And then you're in trouble. I've had two experiences where I overdid it. And I've only had a handful of experiences with edibles just because I don't like that kind of thing. It freaks me out. As we've just said, I don't like the idea that something can just hit you like a ton of bricks. I was

hungover after Labor Day weekend one year. And it was monday after labor day weekend and we had nothing to do and so my buddy was like i'm going fly fishing do you want to come with me and i was like yeah sure and i was like oh dude i have this love that shit yeah so i was like i got this half an edible do you want to take it and he was like no i'm good and he's like i gotta drive and stuff and i was like yeah that makes sense thank you for sober driving me so i took like a little little bite of it next thing i know i'm like freaking out and i'm like i have like tunnel vision like i don't know where anything around me is i don't know how i can get anywhere and i just lose my fucking mind for the rest of the day it was almost like i blacked out

like i was definitely interacting but i was like so out of it that i couldn't i couldn't deal with it and we i finally was like dude you gotta take me home i can't talk to anybody like i'm freaking out damn this sounds like it would make it worse but i've heard that if that ever happens you should drink a ton of coffee yeah they say caffeine can bring you back which i don't know if that's true it sounds like it would make your heart rate elevate even more and like increase how much you're panicking but that is what i've read another time the other time uh it was after i got my wisdom teeth taken out okay and uh a friend of mine was like hey i'm gonna uh i have some weed butter that we made because they were going to use it for something else and i was like cool

that sounds great uh next thing i know uh he brought it over and he told me to eat it with some mashed potatoes, melted over some mashed potatoes. So I melted it. He's like, you'll feel great all day. And I was like, cool. That sounds nice. And I didn't handle my wisdom teeth well. So then I do it. I eat the mashed potatoes. Fast forward two hours and I'm laying in bed, just like stoned out of my mind. And I'm like, like oh this is bad then all of a sudden you know how some of the side effects of being stoned are like cotton mouth and you get super dry well that's not what you want when you have wisdom teeth because of dry sockets and stuff so then being stoned out of my mind at like 4 p.m i start freaking out that i'm gonna

get dry sockets and have to go back in for another surgery and so i spent the rest of the night just like freaking out i woke up the next day felt completely fine it was like oh i just panicked for eight straight hours dude absolutely miserable do not do not do what i did so you did not get dry sockets that always sounded like the worst yeah were you not already on pain meds did you say that uh i was but like i'll be honest i don't my body doesn't respond super well to pain medications so if i take something that would be considered to be like a pretty hardcore like vicodin vicodin is what they prescribed me so that vicodin doesn't do much to me i don't feel the effects of it much so i don't really I never really took it if I was prescribed it. It just doesn't help for me.

I don't know why. All it does is constipate me. Shouts. Oh, nice. Dude, shouts. Don't shout at that. Shouts. Oh, man.

It just sucks. Yeah, I haven't had a really bad experience like that, thankfully. I wrote about this on PGP, but I have this sensation if i get too high which has been years and years as i've done that that i'm peeing myself i've told y'all that one that's about it though nothing nothing bad from edibles has ever happened to me because i've been too scared like i said i limp into it i take like the minimum amount possible yeah though i did so like dave i ate a brownie one time i actually didn't know that there was weed

in the brownie i thought that my roommate had just nicely made a pot a pan of brownies i had no reason to think that there was weed in them i ate like an entire one after getting home from rainy street uh on a monday night it was another like i think it might have been memorial day it's another like long weekend and then all of a sudden, 45 minutes later, I was like, oh no. I was like, there's weed in those brownies. That makes sense. I was like, okay. Woke up the next day, stoned out of my mind. Kind of pissed about it.

I had to go to work. I texted Dave and I just said, hey, I might be out for the morning. I'm having diarrhea or something. I made up some excuse. I was like, I haven't been working here that long. It's been three months and all of a sudden i'm like skipping work because i'm high i was like will you need to get yourself together was this the time your hemorrhoids were flaring up no i might have used that excuse who knows i don't have a hemorrhoid problem but i was i just remember

being like will you're a piece of shit but then i was like i didn't even mean to do it it's not like i like intentionally did this to myself um i feel like there should be a nationally or universally recognized way when you make brownies maybe add like a little bit of a different coloring so people know not just your traditional brown looking brownie hence the name like maybe they have uh some white spots mixed mixed in or or there maybe they're like uh got a little green. Just to let people know. Just be like, oh, green means stop. But then what the 5-0 catch word of that. Like, oh. Yeah, man.

You know, Dave's carrying. Haters. Yeah. The haters come looking. Yeah. That's fair. Because this is how I think about it. Every experience, I've had like only a handful of experiences with that kind of stuff because

I don't like it. And now that I think about it, every single one ends badly. Yeah, it seems like something you should never do. Yeah, I don't think I'll ever do it again. Nothing ever goes well. I pretty much stick to the CBD gummy these days. Sneaky shouts to early bird. Not sneaky, just shouts to early bird.

Yeah, I need to hone in my CBD game. Okay. Yeah. Dude. Yeah. Dude. Your stomach will not stop. My stomach is dumb noisy this morning. What did you do? Stupid noisy.

I don't know. Did y'all see the video LeBron posted of Lindsey Vonn? Yes. What is he doing? I don't know. Is that a thirst trap? If Tiger sees that video, is he like, dog, what? Well, they haven't been together for a long time.

I know, but come on. Dude, Tiger doesn't give a fuck. Come on. If I'm Tiger, Tiger's awful. Yeah, if y'all don't know what Dave's talking about, go to LeBron's video of Lindsey Vonn and just scroll some comments. Okay, so not to bog down on this one, but was it weird that he was shouting out Lindsey Vaughn?

I didn't know LeBron was that into it. What's the connection there? Just that they're two goats? They're two goats. They're super athletes. One of them is super thick. So I just went to this right now, and this is the most recent comments because I'm on desktop of instagram the first comment i see is that ass is fat huh another guy said that's thick some of y'all ain't never seen real thickness and

it shows somebody had somebody what they say like she got that cake oh yeah okay, but she got cake. Cake is probably one of my favorite terms for that. She caked up. Well, it's her going out of the starting gate of a ski race. They normally don't have that camera angle, to my knowledge. Yeah, they do. Really? Yeah. I guess I don't watch enough skiing.

I actually, weirdly, have been trying to watch more lately, but it's kind of difficult because learning the actual skiers is difficult because they're not household names. And I'm not a well-versed ski racer, so I don't know like, oh, man, that adjustment they made there was incredible. I will say the angle really lets you appreciate the speed that they are hitting that course with. It is insane. They're going very fast.

And that's why if they fall, it course with it is insane they're going very fast and that's why if they fall it's like it's over well so part of the reason she might be so stupid dick is because my buddy sent me an article and it said that she has a suit underneath her gs suit that inflates should she crash and i don't understand how that works i need that suit for everyday life yeah how does it know if you're crashing i need that for when when I'm like hammering. Is there someone with a button if you start to crash that hit it for you? I don't know.

I feel like it has to do with like maybe it has like sensors in it and like the impact of the ground the second you hit the ground because it's not for when you first hit the ground

it's for when you tumble into like like an airbag. Yeah. It automatically inflates when your car is you know crunched. It just seems like

in a sport where you want aerodynamics. It probably has artificial intelligence technology. Speaking of on the way here I passed by a car wreck it happened right crunched it just seems like in a sport where you want aerodynamics it probably has artificial intelligence technology enough on the way here i passed by a car wreck it happened right as i was passing them did you have to cut a guy out again sounded like two gunshots because it was like a boom boom type situation and i swear it sounded like a gun like two gunshots was it a drop by i don't think anyone will spray in the block. Where was this at? It was just a car accident.

It was on Manshack Road, just north of 290. Oh. Yeah. Hope everybody's okay. Yeah. Interesting you didn't stop to check. Well, there were so many cars around. I wouldn't have done anything.

Plus, I don't handle situations like that very well. Except for that one time I did save a man's life. I cut him free from, you know, his truck. They could could have used your services remember that time i was a hero will you guys gave me shit for not stopping for that car accident that happened directly behind me that one day the time i did stop for that guy i was the first one on the scene no one else was around i had to do something if if i might have said this before if i'm the first face you see if you're like upside down in a car and you need your life saved if you see my face before anybody else's you're dead

man what if it's your unshaven face it's like it's just me like hey dude not unshaven well get out of here oh god

dude the thing that people forget about my unshaven face is that that's my face I don't think people forget that no people forget that's my face but it's not you and they're mean about it

that's the thing. This is you right now. Most people from Michigan know me without a beard. That's strange. Maybe that's why I was single for so long. Yeah. You're at James Harden status, where if you shave your beard, no matter what, it's like, I'm just saying.

Why would he do that? I need you guys to understand that over the next couple weeks, you might be seeing a shaving well. I almost did it last night, but I was like, I can't go into the studio on a Monday and have these guys just roast me. That doesn't sound like fun.

Dude, I'm so glad you didn't do it because if I walked in here like nine o'clock on Monday morning and that's what I saw, like it would have just been too much for me to do. I'm not doing it as like a pivot in style. I'm doing it because I have to. I'm sorry.

Skin is important to me. It's your face, man. Skin is important to me. I never realized how much taking care of your skin meant. The more I think about it, the more the Daniel Craig thing really makes sense. No, it doesn't. I'm not a beard guy. I used to be.

You know, y'all remember that. Daniel Craig's not either. I've never seen him with any kind of facial hair. Maybe someone can prove me wrong, like, immediately. Dude, I'm looking at pictures of Daniel Craig right now. You might be Daniel Craig if it was the Russian dolls and they took out one Daniel Craig and never killed you. I was always obsessed with those when I was a kid.

Dude, he's a beast. He's a good man. Okay, let's be fair here. He probably was on all kinds of testosterone for this role. He had a nutritionist. He had a trainer. I'm not taking anything away from him, but you give me... You seem like you are.

Give me his resources that he had for four weeks. He's 50 now. And I will wreck you. Still jacked to the tits. He was on some T replacement, I'm sure. Yeah. Yeah. Who's your favorite Bond of all time?

Probably Barry Bonds. Yeah. Should be in the Hall of Fame, in my opinion. I don't know. Probably Pierce Brosnan. I mean, I would like to say so many old school guys, but I just wasn't around for them. Anyone our age who says the old school guys are just tryhards yeah because i know i know one you didn't think it was the best because like seeing the bonds that

we see now there's no way you can think those old ones are tight because like the ones that we see now have such great effects and like everything are the old bond movies 2019 compliant? Like with the names of some of the ladies? No, they can't be. Because they were just I bet there's some Pussy Galore. That's one.

Yeah. I mean, what is that? Come on. I hate to say this. I actually like Daniel Craig more and I like I do too. Pierce Brosnan.

Pierce Brosnan. I never seen him. I liked him. He was slick. He was never I was never fearful of like if I never seen i liked him he was slick he was never i was never fearful of like if i were to walk in and he was in my my my kitchen like i gotta fight this guy it's like okay you're a good looking guy but it's like fighting rob low he wasn't pretty enough no but

daniel craig he has that look about him where it's like he's gonna scrap i also just think that the movies have been better with daniel craig than pierce braznan's the movies have been better with Daniel Craig than Pierce Brosnan's movies overall have been they're a little bit more Jason Bourne yeah which I like yeah

I actually liked all of them some people didn't like Quantum of Solace or Spectre I loved them all Casino Royale the first one

was the best one for Craig but I thought I think they're phenomenal never seen a single Daniel Craig are you serious yeah

they're entertaining are you serious serious. But I think they're phenomenal. Never seen a single Daniel Craig. Are you serious? Yeah. They're entertaining. Serious, dog? Dude. I think you need to watch Casino Royale just hit Netflix. It's on there? Scoop it. It's one of my favorite.

Done. It's probably my favorite action movie. I love it. Done. Wow. That's high praise. And you would like it too

because you're a big poker guy. Yeah. Yeah, you'll like it. You have to watch it. It's great. It's phenomenal. How did we we get here no one really knows because everybody keeps saying that i look like daniel craig everybody oh this is gonna this is gonna turn into a thing where you're officially daniel craig people are gonna walk up to you in public and that's gonna be instead of being like fuck you dorn like the

new thing's gonna be like hey do you know who you look like daniel craig uh someone once told me this is not a smash mouth thing someone did once tell me that i look like bear grills what i that that one threw me that's why when people would say that i looked like henrik zetterberg in michigan because that's only a michigan thing people don't say that in Texas. He is so much better looking than me that it just makes no sense. And so I could only take it as like a gas up. And I was like, I don't, but thank you. We just both have beards and long hair that slicked back. Did he tell me that I look like somebody?

I can't remember what he said. Yeah, he said a cigar store Indian. He was giving all of us the treatment. He couldn't think. He was doing like you were... He a pack he had a pack of uh american spirits and he was like oh that's it i don't think that's what happened you weren't even there no he he was who was it there was somebody you said he told you you look uh latino did. Which, I mean, that makes sense. Shouts to all my Latinos out there. Doing it big.

Dude, honestly, big shouts. Huge shouts. Big shouts. Appreciate your business. Actually, speaking of, can we talk about the Grammys last night? Yeah. Did you guys see the first performance from my girl Camila Cabello? No.

It went, it slapped so hard. Did she do Meet Me in the Middle? Ricky Martin came out. Actually, Dave, I got some intel on that. On Ricky Martin? The girl performed last night. That did Meet Me in the Middle? Ricky Martin came out. Actually, Dave, I got some intel on that. On Ricky Martin? The girl performed last night. That did Meet Me in the Middle. I thought Ariana wasn't there.

I've never... I actually had no clue that when Dave was making Meet Me in the Middle jokes that Ariana Grande didn't sing it. I thought she did. That was way over my head as well. I mean, it was on my radar. I'm actually confused as to how you knew that she didn't sing it. It's one of those few things that I know.

I was watching the pre-show last night for the Grammys, and I could not have been less enthused with the people that they were interviewing. It was just a bunch of no-namers to me, or maybe people that are just too young for my age group. And then the show started, and I was like, alright, I can get into

this. And my takeaways were pretty simple. The musical performances were pretty sweet. Everything else was absolutely terrible. Can we cut it right here? I got to pee so bad. Okay. I'm sorry. Yeah.

Just go pee. I'm sorry. It's going to affect my podcast. uh i forget where i was before intermission no No one's doing Tinky Intermissions. No one. Name another podcast. You can't. You can't. The Grammys.

My takeaways were that the performances were phenomenal. Every performance I saw was incredible. Brandi Carlile's performance was amazing. Most of them were good. I had some issues with some of the other performers. Some. I really enjoyed the Dolly Parton thing, especially with Miley's when they did Jolene. That's a great song.

I thought Katy Perry could have done a little less. No, she... Thank you, Dave. Took the next... Sorry. She was bad. They need to cancel Katy Perry completely. She had no business being on that stage.

I almost feel bad for Katy Perry. The last few years for her, I know she's probably uber successful still, but it feels like she's taken Alice. Well, the issue with the performance is that Miley has performed Jolene numerous times before. It's a song that she knows front to back so perfectly. And I think, if I'm not mistaken, she's done it with Dolly Parton numerous times too. I know I've heard her do it somewhere.

I believe Dolly Parton is her godmother really yeah so it's like it's very unfair is that right to throw katie perry in the mix there well and especially because her uh counterpart casey musgraves is very understated when she sings you know what i mean she doesn't try to go out of her range and maybe she doesn't have the range i mean she I mean? She doesn't try to go out of her range. And maybe she doesn't have the range. I mean, she's awesome. But she doesn't try to over-sing it like Katie kind of did. And Dolly's just there being Dolly. Casey Musgraves, man.

More on her later. She is something. Shout out to East Texas. My God. Another performance I could have done without was the Red Hot Chili Peppers portion of the

Red Hot or the Post Malone Dylan's right here come on man Post Malone was great what's that like seeing like your two

favorite musical acts get together like that link up well okay we've talked I think we've talked about the Red Hot Chili Peppers before on this very podcast.

We have. They are so bad. They are just a terrible, terrible music group. Just really, really bad. Bad. I like Under the Bridge, and I hate everything else. Lyrically? Blood Sugar, Sex Magic. Lyrically, maybe the worst band of all time.

They suck. Lyrically. What is going on? They're so annoying. Yeah, Posty's my man, but you pair him with those guys and there's not much you can do. Are people calling him Posty? Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Come on. So people were upset that he did not give more of a shout out to 21. Well, what's up with that? You want to speak for him? No. No? I don't know. Yeah, I can speak to it.

Post Malone's a big Trump guy, and he supports ICE real hard. I don't think that's right. So he was like, nah, they got him. I feel like... I actually heard they were using Post Malone as an undercover operative in order to get 21 Savage. Wow, no one saw that coming. He's a snitch, yeah.

His next album is going to be called Snitches and Bitches. Also, shout out to North Central Texas, Grapevine Zone, Post Malone. What performances did you have an issue with? Because when I said I was very impressed with some of the performances,

you looked like, you poo-pooed. Well, it was mainly Katy Perry's performance. That was trash. Also, the nice young lady who did one of the opening, one of the first few songs,

I don't know her name, but she had the people that were fake playing the trombone and stuff and it sounded like a Prince song. Janelle Monae? Maybe. Someone pointed out on Twitter, I think it was like Bunky Perkins or something,

that it was essentially a cover of the Prince song from the Michael Keaton Batman, which in retrospect, yeah, they are very similar. It was a cool performance. I just, I don't know. Maybe that's what she was going for. She's kind of avant-garde. I don't know almost the best performance of the night though one of was when they came back from break and alicia was sitting there between the two pianos and she was just doing covers she's so honestly she needed that because her hosting uh performance

was absolute garbage she looked lost and nothing was good that's just her I think she's just like Super chilled out I don't know That was cool But I kind of wanted to be like Why don't you just have her perform And actually get somebody That's like hosted before What did y'all think

Of the Gaga performance? Sounded like she was A little bit tired Of playing that song It wasn't great She just did some weird shit Of course she can do no wrong In my book

Yeah you're a noted little monster I'm a day one little monster, so. But, yeah, it wasn't my favorite performance of hers. The St. Vincent Dua Lipa,

which I had never even heard of Dua Lipa before she won the Best New Artist. That was a pretty impressive performance. But, I think they followed

Brandi Carlile, whose performance blew me away. Did you guys stay on that long? No. I did. I don't think.

They were the two very, very good looking brunette ladies. Yeah. Oh, them, yeah. And they slayed. Everybody was tweeting about them. Yeah, that was pretty good. Came out of nowhere. That was pretty good.

Very different. Dua Lipa, I didn't know who she was. I know her songs because they get played all the effing time at Lifetime at the gym. She's a gym girl. And that's huge for gym music because when I hear a song at the gym, I'm thinking immediately like, oh, this isn't good enough for like top 40. So they're having to play it on the gym playlist. But she has proven herself.

Of course, Dave is a no headphone guy at the gym, which is totally bizarre to me. When I looked her up, I think on Spotify, it said that she's the 13th most streamed person in the world right now. I'm glad you didn't say she's 13. Because then we'd have a real problem. Why? Because a lot of people would have to delete some tweets. Not me, not anybody in here, but a lot of people.

I didn't stay on for the end of the show. I didn't care for it anymore. You didn't want to stay until 11? Yeah, that show needed to end at 10. If it's a Sunday night award show, and it's going on until 10 Texas time and 11 East Coast, that's too late. It's too late. Well, they were straight up cutting people off.

Drake got cut off nasty. Well, he got cut off for both what he was saying and time. They play that music. Wait, really? The shut it down music. They played it for a good 45 seconds before they cut you there's no excuse to go not for drake wait why did they cut him why what did he say because he was he was trashing the grammys yeah basically was he oh yeah the awards don't matter

you don't need this award like a bunch of people that don't know about your music that are giving you an award it means nothing he did the classic he all that stuff, and then he was about to just launch into something new. He goes, but, and then they cut it. Interesting. That's why they cut him off. They were not as kind to him in the leash that they gave him. But he still talked for a while. I know.

I have no respect for award shows and cutting people off because without the people's performances that are happening and those people, there's no award show. But at the same time, there are happening and those people there's no award show but at the same time there are people who start giving their speech and they they speak for 30 seconds the music comes on and they act like it's their it's their show like dude no you have a certain amount of time to deliver your speech and you know this going in why are you still talking so you don't though you don't know this they also they also it changes as the award show goes on and as they have to adjust for time but they can hear them the cutoff

music they know it they know that they have they're about to get cut off i don't know that's it might be much more apparent to us on television than it is to them dude i guarantee you they can radio because it's supposed it's letting them know like you need to wrap it up we're about to go to commercial we have ads i know but the for, it's bullshit that they even do that. Let the people have their time. Why don't you respect artists? No, then someone's going to be up there and talk for 10 minutes. No one wants to see that.

I have to say, the speeches are trash most of the time. No, I think that they do it way too early. The speeches oftentimes are more entertaining than a lot of the other stuff they do. The little bits that they do coming in from break and shit like that. At least they have ample warning that they need to wrap up. I don't know. It sounds like you don't respect the artists. I respect the artists.

And you want to take the voice away from the voiceless. You have a certain allotment of time to get your speech in. They're not the voiceless. And if you go over it, then you deserve to get cut off. No. They have a schedule to keep. Wow. I don't care.

Dylan's the guy behind the curtain on the side of the stage with the giant cane. Alright, get off the stage. He's hooking people off the stage. Alright, wrap it up. 30 seconds. If you did something good enough to warrant getting an award, they only give out a handful of awards that night.

Then you deserve more than 30 seconds before they're like, alright, wrap it up. Unless I missed something, this was a very, very apolitical Grammys. I feel like there was nobody up there doing politics. I feel like it's because they're manufacturing all that now. Those two good-looking brunettes, they won one.

And the chick was talking and she got legit cut off. Those two aren't in the same group. They're not a package. That was a collab. They linked up for the Grams. The other one cut off. No, just Dua Lipa won. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those two are not in the same group. They're not a package. That was a collab. They linked up for the grams. Oh, okay, gotcha, gotcha. The other one was St. Vincent,

who's one of Producer Micah's favorite people in the world. Oh, they're good. Yeah, he's a little bit uncomfortable. Oh, that's who that is? Yeah, like, he knows a little too much. They are good, though. Yeah. Anyway, Homegirl got legit cut off.

Like, her mic went silent on her, but she had plenty of time and you were like cheering at the tv when i was like yeah cut that bitch but i was like you know what yeah cut her off no she's gone over her time dylan's a big shut up and sing guy no i'm not no i look if i respect what they have to say and i know and i think she was even delivering like a really powerful message which was great but at the same time you know you know you need to wrap up they're not like you're not do you think 30 seconds is long enough to give a speech there are very few people who have earned the earned the respect to like talk as long as you want to talk

up there and she's not you think 30 seconds is too that's not what it's not 30 seconds you just said that though you're like yeah i said i said at around 30 seconds they start to play music which indicates like okay it's time to wrap up your speech it's just weird to me they don't a lot more time

yeah you know what they could have done maybe get rid of get rid of one of the musical performances and take that time and spread the time

I don't know yeah maybe so maybe just don't give like Alicia Keys like one more bit like I just don't get it I don't give Alicia Keys one more bit. I just don't get it.

I don't get it. When she started playing Lauryn Hill, I got really into it. And then she stopped. She moved into another song, which is kind of the point of the medley. But I was like, I want more. Just keep doing that. If I'm the Fugees, I'm like, don't play that. They probably like Lauryn Hill.

Who's your favorite Fuji? I could see you being a big Praws guy. Lauryn. Oh. I love her. Her voice is silky. Oh, I love her. When the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill came out,

I remember my sister got it, and that's the CD I would steal. I kind of had a crush on her, too. She's a cutie. Whatever the face you made, you said that. She's playing a show in Arlington at that weird-ass music festival. Have you seen this music?

Let's look this up. Have you seen this music festival? It's the weirdest lineup you've ever seen. Let's go. I like to get weird. I told you that story about college. You do like to get weird, don't you, Dave? Yeah, Betty Bo boop and shit it's called kabu it's the most washed music festival lineup

i've ever seen let's go give me give me some headliners i don't want to go through it like i'm just going to start reading and just like tell me that this isn't the most like weirdest lineup ever i'm going to give you an in or out for each artist. Go. The Killers. In. Kid Rock. In.

there's nothing that sounds worse than going and watching Sting at a festival I disagree Sting is so boring I like Sting doesn't do anything for me I like Sting he's great I might listen if he does police songs but didn't know you guys were anti-sting.

Kind of changes a lot of the trajectory of this podcast. No, it doesn't. Let's close up with our takes on the live-action Aladdin that was revealed last night. Aladdin, as you know, is probably... How big of a splash was that when it hit for you guys when you were younger? Changed everything. Changed the entire game.

I was playing a different game going forward. How big of a splash was that when it hit for you guys when you were younger? Changed everything. Changed the entire game. I was playing a different game going forward. It was the first Disney movie that I like that really stuck with me. The other ones were like watching like I was too young to like care about. And like I'm sure it was entertaining. But Aladdin just went so much harder. Aladdin went viral. I'm not doing like a bit here or anything.

But it was barely on my radar as a kid. So you were too busy like playing sports. It was barely on my radar as a kid so you were too busy like playing sports it was barely on my radar you're too busy like getting dirty dude i don't think you had a childhood like literally i think you were just born i get it i get it i know that that's you came out of the womb as a 15 year old baseball player but uh yeah it was i don't even know if i saw the whole thing as a kid i'm sure i did but it doesn't stick with me whatsoever sorry how much older are you than me uh how old are you 32 i just turned 32 did you really yes um thanks for the happy birthday i got three years on you so okay so that when you like three years at that age is a lot there's a big difference between being eight and being 11. Yeah, three. So, yeah, but being 32 and 35 is also different.

Like, it doesn't feel like we're that much further apart. Right. The older you get, the closer you get. It's just a drop in the well. Sure. What the? Really? I don't.

What do you want me to say? Do you know the words to these songs? No. Have you shown the homie these movies? Absolutely. I don't know to these songs? No. Have you shown the homie these movies? Absolutely. I don't know the words to these songs. Have you shown the homie these movies already? I have not shown the homie Aladdin.

Dude, I actually... You know what? I'm going to request custody of the homie. Yes. The homie's well taken care of. We are going to take you to the courthouse later, and Dave has already actually drafted up the papers. I have a petition.

I'm going to petition the court. The homie is ours now. He's into shit. I'm going to please the court. He's into kid shit. Paw Patrol and shit, though. He's got to get that highbrow Aladdin shit. He doesn't know Robin now. He's into shit. I'm going to please the court. He's into kid shit. Paw patrolling shit though. He's got to get that highbrow Latin shit.

He doesn't know Robin Williams. He's going through a huge dinosaur phase right now. Land before time. Show the man. Okay.

What's wrong with you? I don't know. I am a little bit worried about this because the Will Smith genie thing has already reached

epic meme proportions on Twitter and Instagram and now I don't know if I can take it seriously. And I know it's a Disney story so it's like Why is he dumb thick? Are they turning into a comedy?

Well, the genie was a comedic It was Robin Williams So he was like the comedic yeah the genie was robin williams so he was like the comedic relief for the parents i didn't know that yeah yeah it would help if you'd seen it sorry what the fuck i'm sorry man i don't know did you see the lion king of course are you sure i love the lion aladdin's been the lion king but lion king's close second oh see i i'm willing to i'm willing to fight you on that one. Robin Williams played the genie? I don't expect everyone to have that take, but Aladdin was my movie growing up.

The Will Smith version looks like he got a weight bench for Christmas and he was just living in his basement, just putting up big boy weight. Like you when Aladdin came out, you were just lifting weights and shit? Yeah. I'm hesitant with this movie. Have you seen the live-action Jungle Book that Disney did? I did not see it.

Not good. It was too much of a departure from the original. And in these, I want the same shit. I want songs. I want things that strike a chord with my nostalgia. And it was bad. Jungle Book was bad. Jafar's a great villain.

I'm very excited for this person. But the Jafar that they had in the preview kind of looked not very evil. Really? I was just like, oh, meh. You don't look that scary. Jafar's a villain in Aladdin? What the fuck is wrong with you?

Grow up. Grow down. Yeah, grow down. Be younger. What the hell? I'm trying to keep up with the conversations maybe just sit this one out I don't know but then I feel like they're going all in

though because of the they're doing it with Lion King too but Lion King has like that all star cast yeah like that mediocre actress Beyonce that's your opinion somebody hit me somebody tweeted me and they were like hey she was in uh dream girls oh okay i weirdly remember that i don't know i don't know i never saw it so i don't know if it was good i don't think she wanted an oscar

like i said i believe she was wronged by the writing of Austin Powers number three, I think. What's up with the Grammys and stuff? They haven't had their traditional 20-minute Beyonce performances lately. J-Lo, that's another thing we could talk about. Her Motown tribute, I saw some pushback on that. What? You mean because Jenny from the Block was doing a Motown tribute? Yeah. I thought all racial implications aside, I thought she did an okay job of doing those Motown songs. She's great.

It's just the Grammys should probably do a better job doing a tribute to something that's so important as Motown. And I don't think using Jennifer Lopez was the move. I'm a Motown snob because I think I grew up with it being from Michigan and my parents grew up in the whole Motown heyday in Detroit. The big Motown scene, Harbor Spring. I'm just fucking with you. No, my parents grew up in Detroit.

Who did they? I didn't know Nancy grew up in Detroit. They played Motown constantly when I was a kid. That's why you're so smooth. Yeah, everyone knows that. I'm smooth as silk, baby. Okay. No, but it's just weird.

You also had Diana Ross in the building and you're not going to bring her out? What? I thought that was strange. I did. It wasn't like, was like i'm not gonna tweet this i'm not gonna be the one to tweet it other people were tweeting it and i was like yeah but we got a rod we got a rod shots which is always anytime you can get a rod you get a dude

shouts to him did y'all see travis scott yeah what what's your comment on it just saying i mean i understand everybody wanted to mash i understand that you're mad they didn't match the sicko mode button drake was in the building that being said drake was that being said he he popped it off uh yeah i left happy it was okay he does just kind of scream into the mic and just shake his head a lot though i mean it's probably got me hyped i liked it it was cool was cool. It was a cool... The cage thing was neat. For a second, I was like, man, I hope that this is actually rehearsed and these people

climbing over the cage aren't just fans that are revolting. I thought that as well. And I watched him. I was like, if he starts freaking out, they're going to need security up in this. Yeah, there was some dynamics there I was wondering about because you had Drake and Pusha T in the building. Pusha got wronged. Who won over him?

Cardi. Okay. I thought, you know what there was zero of? Did a single rock act get nominated for anything? I don't know. Is rock music still around? I don't know. I don't know.

The only rock act that's modern, you know, something old school that I used to listen to is like Imagine Dragons. I don't know. Like, who's out there doing music? Also, the In Memoriam, they completely wronged. They did Vinnie Paul, drummer, rest in peace, drummer Pantera. Like, how do you not? Call somebody, dude.

Most iconic drummer, metal drummer of all time. It's all right, though. What do you think of that it was iconic drummer metal drummer of all time. It's alright though What do you think that plagiarist winning the big awards childish Gambino that was interesting I didn't see oh shit Well, he wouldn't even there they brought up the Swedish guy. I I don't know that's why I didn't do much for me that came out right we went to Ponte Vedra Beach for the That song was not great. It's good. The video was really good.

Yeah, but then it came out that he plagiarized the entire thing. Yeah, that too. Okay. I don't know if that's fair. There wasn't... I don't know. Yeah, he did. I mean, the song...

The guy came out and said... I hope that... I'll say this. I don't think Donald Glover's a bad guy. But to say that that song didn't sound exactly like this other song that came up is... Well, the other song had the same tone to it. It's the same social justice stuff. And the guy who...

He was totally cool with it. Yeah, he was way too cool with it. And I'm like, maybe they got ahead of this and already just wrote him a check. I hope that's the case. Because I don't actually... I'm kidding. I don't actually think Donald Glo kidding. I don't actually think Donald Glover

slash Childish Gambino did anything intentionally malicious. But, I don't know. Surprising it was even up for that stuff, honestly. Is the biggest letdown

slash awkward moment in award shows when the person who wins isn't there to accept it and everybody just has to do like the failed, we accept this on his behalf and then they just kind of awkwardly turn around like all right i was cool john mayer accepting his first one

though that was cool give me more john they could john i would have loved to seen john up there slinging guitar yeah maybe throw him in there with dolly yeah maybe just you know worked in like some kind of freestyle solo on joe but it's all said done, John Mayer's going to go down as a talent that people remember forever. He's very talented, and he's only getting better. I'm just saying. It's true. Just like us. No one's going to say that about us.

We're getting to the point where we're so washed that we're going to have to close up shop. God, I hope not. I'm not riding on this. Should we get out of here? Yeah. Yeah, probably. If you haven't already,
