All right, we're back circling back podcast. Will DeFries here to my left David rough. Hmm Laughing to myself. I just sent Randy something on slack for a segment later on and it is a blast from the past Reaching back into my favorites Give us a little more of a tease. What's it? What's the subject matter here? There's a video we will in theory be playing later that we all found out and saw this morning and there is a video It reminded me of from I would say

It's a Hall of Fame PGP era Grand Ex video. Okay, you'll know when you see it. You'll be like, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, and if you don't remember it You just weren't around for the golden age of the blogosphere. I'm pretty sure I was around. Well, just for the people. Oh, okay. You'll remember. Yeah. Remember those absolute bros in the Lakers crowd with the sunglasses? Oh yeah. How do you think they reacted when Luca got traded to them? Probably very similarly. Although they probably, if they're like most Laker fans, they probably had to go look up and see like who he was and stuff. Oh, wow. No, I'm kidding. Got him. They're great fans.

I do want to just point out if you were planning on sending me a video of what you're just talking about, you just sent me an image. I couldn't find the actual video. Why don't you do a little detective? Yeah, what are you gonna do a bud? What are you not trying to expose our host? I always want to make sure if we're talking video. Yeah Hey Dave, why don't you just go fuck off? I can fuck off contribute Randy. I'm literally doing that by now trying to Dave I'm on watch. Yeah, Dave just take the rest of the week off them Randy's not impressed with your file transfer skills. I transferred the data. The man who you don't have to look up, Dylan Shivery. We have a run he's so stacked

that we could probably do three episodes on it, but we're gonna fit it all into one because that's just the kind of guys that we are. It's gonna be a fun fucking episode, man. I'm pumped. Damn, dude, damn. That is exciting. Why are you fucking hype Dylan? He's got his Manana hat on. I'm hyped, dog. We got It's fucking hype. Dylan's got his shit to talk about.

Kind of got his Cali swag earlier. He said he wanted to get some sun this weekend. Do the weather this weekend has got me horny. I think it's a cool hat that you're wearing. Fuck you. I do have questions as to how a company in Austin, Texas, has become so popular when it's a surf company. And we live in checking my map here. I'll tell you why. Central Texas in Austin, Texas has become so popular when it's a surf company and we live in,

checking my map here. Central Texas. I'll tell you why I like it. I'll tell you why I like it. I actually just ordered another hat. It's be here shortly. I'm very particular with my hats, the way they fit because I am a large head individual

and these hats are among the best fitting hats I found. And if I find a hat that fits like this, I kind of dig in. No, they're cool hats. I mean, and the people that I know who love them are absolute domers, dude. It's my first two-tone ever. I should know that.

You're kind of eating in that hat. Call you Jeffrey Domer. Wow. All right. I don't hate what you're doing. No crumbs. It's a good hat. one that I ordered is is black with white embroidery Yeah, stay tuned. Okay, Johnny cash over here. I'll debut that soon. Damn dude West Coast dilly. I know what's up It's a surf. It's a surf company in Austin. That's kind of like a joke, you know

Well, is it a joke? I don't think it's a joke. It doesn't seem like a joke. It's a surf company in Austin. But yeah, it's a surf company. It does confuse me a bit, but they've got great branding to the point where I'm like, I'll disregard that. I don't think they sell surfboards. They like have a couple in there, but like,

yeah, you know what I mean? It's a vibe play. It's a cool looking store, man. I like it. I don't know. Should we make a hat called, that just says Banyana on it? And it's a nature's Glizzy hat.

Oh. Banyana. I like that. That's so stupid. It's good. Nature's Glizzy. Banyana. Like banana.

Like banana, Randy. Oh, like banana. Yeah. B-A-N-A-N-A-N-A-A. With the little accent over the N, is a Ña. Oh. Sail away, sail away, sail away. Hey, that shit truly is bananas.

We can surf, we surf, we surf Jacksonville. You know? Hey, maybe it's, so mañana means tomorrow. See. Maybe they're looking for what the Texas coastline is gonna look like due to climate change. Oh, here comes Dave. So we will be on, we will have a beach in Mannyanes

and we will finally be able to surf. So tomorrow, you think tomorrow climate change will create a coastline right here? Tomorrow, not necessarily being like on the calendar, but like tomorrow. In the future. I heard Mannyanes was looking at some locations in Trump's Gaza on some waterfront property that right yeah yeah it's good property if you can get it I don't have

a direct route to getting any nor do I want it I probably will not be acquiring any any land out don't actually does. What? Has a route. Oh yeah, you kind of, you kind of do have a route. Like I feel like you could actually pull a couple strings and you might have like a skyscraper named after you. I don't know if that bridge is still intact. Dorn Tower. I'm not saying it's burned. I just raised it differently. It's not fully intact. I'll just, anyway. Yeah, I probably still won't. Are you fully intact? I think so. You've been on your Unix shit lately?

No, I have my wiener and my balls if that's what you're asking. Someone doesn't. Brand. It's not a brand. You just can't walk. A brand does, he's just paralyzed from the waist down. Oh.

An unfortunate window accident. If you're- Looked in the wrong window, D. Guys, can I ask you a question? If you're paralyzed from the waist down, you still have blood flow down there. It's muscular? Like, so I'm just talking-

Are you talking erections? Yeah. I don't know the answer to that. Did Brand have sex post falling out of the window in the Game of Thrones? No, not on the show. I think he was like 10. Okay.

Oh, okay. Young guy. I don't know the answer to that. Well, okay, let's not pretend like Game of Thrones? No, not on the show. I think he was like 10. Okay. Oh, okay. Young guy. I don't know the answer to that. Well, okay, let's not pretend like Game of Thrones didn't have some unsavory, potentially illegal things going on. No, well, you're totally in balance here. You're totally in balance. Oh, okay, just making sure.

If you wanna know how Game of Thrones pans out, listen to exactly five minutes beyond the paywall. Yeah. I explain it for everybody in five minutes. Yeah. I wanted that clip. A quick, very accurate recap of thewall. Yeah, I explained it. I explained it for everybody in five minutes. Yeah, I want a very accurate recap of this. Good recap. There's a clip. There's a clip out there. Oh, check your slack, Hawes.

Check your slack, Hawes. Oh, I don't know. Dave might receive it as a JPEG instead of a MOV file. Sorry, man. I said the wrong. Sorry, I'm just trying to get my file types correct to make the show enjoyable for the fans. What's your favorite file type? Can you convert it? Ooh, that's a great, probably a GIF.

Let's go back to that one. No. I mean, mine's just classic MP3, dude. Just throw it back. I'm a wave guy. Nostalgia style. Ride the wave, dot wave, dot wave. Oh, that's good.

The compression wasn't great. You're probably... I sort of like them all. Yeah? Yeah. Like what, like what are some of them that you enjoy? Dot movie. Okay.

I'll say MP4. I like that. MP4. I don't know the difference between MP4 and MP3. MP4 is video. But I just say MP4. I don't know the difference between MP4 and MP3. MP4 is video. But I just know MP4. Oh, it is? Okay. I know the difference now.

Okay. Look at this guy. He doesn't know anything about anything. I think PDFs are swag, but when you need to edit one of those bitches, it just becomes a whole process. If I need to sign that thing, like Brett's doing it for me. Well, Brett's gonna just close the PDF that he's looking at at the time.

It most likely has like a bullet pointed list on swing tips and then he'll just sign it for you. Do you ever open a PDF and just zoom in as far as you can? There's just no pixels. So dope. I can't say that. You know when you get a PDF sent to you, it's like, I better pay special attention to this. This is not

this is not for the faint of heart. There's some there's some fine print or something in here. I gotta really cross my T's and dot my lowercase J's. Yeah. Yep. Yeah, man. Yep. Why'd you just turn into a robot right there? Don't worry about it. Somebody call the ambulance. Yeah.

We got the five-oh. Oh, that's the ambulance, isn't it? I don't know. What if we open the curtain to the studio and there's just like a SWAT team outside of our like place? All these sirens going on right now. What would they be here for? I don't know.

Maybe they're trying to recoup a certain mouse pad that Mike had never sent a toucher. That could be it. That seems like excessive force, the whole SWAT team. Maybe they found out that some people in this office have been just ditching their leftover pizza in the fridge so they don't have to recycle the giant box. Could be parking lot related.

Yeah, imagine if the SWAT team got here and then they're like, oh, we don't have any place to park even though that one parking space is open and they say, they can't take it. They can't take it. It's reserved for those people. I can't have my Warthog get towed today. We have an update. We have an update.

We have an update later. We'll get to it. Yep, that's called a tease. Interesting. Before we get into the meat of today's episode, yesterday, beyond the paywall, we did Do You Know What A Game Show podcast. Much controversy going along with this.

I've been trying to figure out the best way to put out my notes app Declaration regarding this episode. Mm-hmm But yeah, it was fun episode fun episode Randy create a new word in the middle of it Obligionally, I'm bludgeoning a bludgeoning a bludgeoning a bludgeoning. It was it was an entertaining time He was also higher than giraffe dick. Yeah, Randy's Randy admitted to doing drugs before. I did one early bird and it might've been one the higher end early birds, but it was fun. I had a great time.

Did you have anybody reach out like, Hey, I understand what you're trying to say with a bligen Lee or whatever you said. Obligionally. It was a bligently. Like I was waiting for a backer to be like, actually Randy was correct here. No, we looked it up on the, during the episode.

You know, I never actually went and did like a Google voice thing to see what it says, but it's probably obligingly, not up legitimately. That's correct. Yeah.

You guys familiar with the Burnerverse? It's this place where fraternity dudes ruin lives. It's this place where anonymous frat dudes tweet about how much they spend at dinner to get laid that night. They're Peter Millar. They peacock and they're Peter Millar and they're, what's the coat called? Barber. Barber jackets? Barber? Barber jackets?

Barber. They floss how many collars they have going to the football game in late November. It can be a fun place. It can also be a dark place. I think we've skewed dark. Yeah. I think we skewed dark.

I sent a DM to someone earlier that I pretty much said like, when it comes to the fashion stuff from the burner verse, like the content's pretty elite burner verse like the contents pretty elite but like yesterday I logged in and I had More notifications that I've had in a minute of people just being like are you tracking this? Apparently a sorority girl out of Ole Miss has

Cheated on her boyfriend with the boyfriend's father and this has all been revealed via a fraternity group chat that is is it is it anonymous in the fraternity group chat I couldn't even tell what was going on here. Ole Miss fraternities tend to be huge right a lot bigger than your classic t-state. Yeah how big is a pledge class? I would say between 80 and 100 Like a school like Ole Miss. It's very Greek Oriented It can fluctuate based on factors like the organization's popularity and overall size of the incoming freshman class with larger houses potentially taking out slightly

Larger pledge classes David. Maybe they're trying to shrink the game They were trying to shrink and I think they should. But yeah, I would imagine it's not anonymous. That would get an anonymous inter-fraternity group chat would be so caddy. It would be the grossest place on earth. The worst. It's pretty much what Yik Yak was back

when I went to college. So these messages started getting leaked of the group chat and then other Snapchat things just started getting leaked of the group chat and then other Snapchat things just started getting put out of people weighing in on this situation. It has now gone past the actual situations. How could I put this? Like busted out of the burner verse.

Yeah, like it's gone macro verse. It was the number one trending topic on Twitter yesterday at one point. People are adding the dad on LinkedIn. The dad who's a former UT SIG app. Right. People have found his composite photo already somehow in the fraternity house.

And also a more current photo of him wearing, what are those shirts called? Guy Ybarra? Ybarra? Oh yeah, yeah, he had to. Dude, those had a real moment in Austin. Oh, they had a real moment. Yeah, thanks to Micah. That's your ultimate going out to eat Tex-Mex.

That's the Micah. Yeah, but do you want to wear your nice Guy Abara to eat Tex-Mex? No. I don't want it to smell like, especially Matt's. You have to go take it to the dry cleaner. Especially when they have the chain outdoor tables and the salsa can easily tip over onto your nice shirt.

Definitely. I always ask for a little plate to make sure that doesn't happen. That's a ball-nower move. That's not high maintenance. You're high maintenance. That's just ball-nower move like he just said. Look, I'm sorry, dude. It's a ball-nower move. I say, can I get a little plate and I put the little salsa thing, you know.

But didn't you say you can't eat it lately because it's too hot? It's too spicy. I don't like it. It makes my face wet. So there's a a Snapchat that was leaked. I've seen a lot. The main one which kind of kind of kicked this off, I think. And it reads like it was voice to text. I forgot about this. Can you do that on Snap? The tech is there. I think so. I think it's just a feature of the iPhone that you can do anything that you can do voice to text. I think. Wow. It's crazy what they're doing these days. Don't send me a voice note. Can I read a

little? I can't listen to that. Can I read some of it? Can I say something I don't like that Will calls me out for using voice to text while I'm driving? I just did it one time. I've done it twice. It comes in very handy. I don't text and drive. I don't either. I don't either, but you're better than me because you'll actually respond with like a voice to text. Whereas I will simply just like wait 20 minutes while driving and then pull in somewhere and text somebody.

I knew the one was bad that I was sending you and Ryan on my way home from Dallas. I was like, y'all were like, wow. The car play feature has been a godsend. It's great. But you said voice note, right? Which is different. That's like pretty much a small-

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Voice to text is different. Like I don't like the voice note where I have to listen to essentially an ad read from you for 90 seconds. Yeah, I don't want to listen to your 90 second podcast. What's this? And I know that it gives you the transcription, but the transcription is not always spot on and it's missing stuff.

And sometimes I'm like, am I missing context? Whatever Dylan, do you, are you going to do a dramatic reading of this, uh, of this message for us to set the table? Should I do a dramatic reading? Or should I do it in sorority girl voice? Um, I think dramatic reading might be a little bit better. I want dramatic. Who's the author of this actual one?

It's covered up, we don't know. Okay. The picture is, it's probably someone's phone. Picture of someone's phone and there's a young lady covering, concealing the author of the. Good on that person because a lot of the stuff that was getting floated around was not. There was a lot of people getting docs down. Oh, there's some dude named Baxter who's getting absolutely killed on Twitter that was in the

original fraternity group, me that was like roasting people and now he's just getting made fun of and it makes me really happy that he's just getting roasted off the face of the earth. Okay. Here's a Snapchat. A dramatic reading. Basically, so I don't know, like, if you've heard this part, but so over, like the break, or I can click right before the break started, it's probably a typo there. Mary Kate went home early from school because I guess she, like, finished her exams early and went to go watch Evan's little sister in her basketball game and went with the dad. And then they dropped the sister off at home, like after the basketball game,

and they went to like dinner and drink. Okay, no one's typing that out. And was like. They didn't go to dinner, they went to like dinner. And was like buying her drinks and stuff, and they like got to watch each other. They got with each other there or something. Sorry, this is a little scrambled. And then that was like the first time.

And then I don't know how Evan, the boyfriend, found out, but I know he did. And then he was like upset about it. And then like Mary Kay told him she'll never do it again because she's like such a fucking liar and like such a loser I'm sorry and um and so and this part is covered up by something on there, so I can't read it, but the mom knows But she's not getting divorced fully because Mary Kate But because the dad is like cheated on her before like multiple times,. So that's like, why? But so bad. Well said, well typed. Okay.

It sounds like that person has an agenda. Out of all the people in this situation, like I feel the most bad for the boyfriend at this point. But a very close second is the girl. A very close second is the girl. Yeah, the boyfriend at this point. But a very close second is the girl. A very close second is the girl. Yeah, the boyfriend. But the boyfriend is like, dude, this guy has to just be going through hell right now.

Do we know age? He got cheated on, which sucks. I feel bad for both of them equally. But then like his dad. I feel bad for both of them. Is the one who was the... I don't feel bad for the dad. The dad should be slandered.

No, this kid,, it's his dad. Yeah, oh yeah. Do we know how old-ish, I mean, obviously Carl's like, the dad? Are we, no, no, no. Are we talking like freshmen in Ole Miss? Or like seniors? I don't know.

Like, I don't know. Yeah, like, there's something very wrong for me about the burner verse and just the internet in general, all operating in such an anonymous way, but then being so free with just completely derailing someone's life when a lot of the people that are tweeting in this weird internet space are people who are tweeting out things that would potentially ruin their life.

It's like, wait, like juxtaposition. It's the juxtaposition. It's the juxtaposition there. People found the dads LinkedIn and just spamming it with comments and like endorsements for different things. And it's, yeah, it's, who knows how much truth there is to this. If like even half of that is true, it's like dude that's a first of all he's buying drinks for potentially an underage girl to take advantage of you know what I mean? It's a horrible look even without that angle but it's just like dude It's a horrible look even without that angle, but it's just like dude It's it's fucking it's very very gross. It's gross. It's gross and like

We have four-year-old sons Dylan. You've got a ten-year-old son so like in theory like such as so Imagine like eight years from now Parkes in college. It's it's terrible. It's terrible like. Such as. So, um imagine like eight years from now, Park's in college. It's it's terrible. It's terrible. I know it's like imagine but it's just it's so sad. It's like dude,

that's your son. Like how do you get to that point to where you are that much of a deviant? Yeah. Yeah. To where you can't control yourself. Like how? Like I just don't understand how you can get to that point. There's just no, there's no social. It's, it's another element that I feel bad.

I feel bad for the kid about his, like his mom got cheated on too. Oh yeah. Like his whole walked his family's just like, you see the tweet that said he needs to get back at his dad by sleeping with his mom. And then someone posted, and then someone posted a screenshot of like her profile somewhere with her full name on it. It's like, ah, this whole't think that's the move. And then someone posted a screenshot of her profile somewhere with her full name on it. It's like, ah, this whole thing stinks. It's the burner verse though, man.

They're all operating so anonymously that they are just wild with their tweets. And if any of these kids get doxxed, they could get kicked out of school for the shit they tweet. What if there's more to it, which there almost certainly is? There's a lot of context and it's like, now every time I say like, I just fucking think I can't. I'm thinking of a damn dramatic reading. We went to a restaurant and had dinner.

I was saying, she's going to have to transfer schools, change her name. Oh yeah. It's very sad for her. And I don't know anything about these people. But like her life as she knows it is totally different now. She's gonna have to go transfer schools, make new friends, not being a sorority anymore because no one's gonna want to take the girl that did that allegedly. Like it's just like her life isn't over, but like her life's gonna be miserable for at least a year. At least a year least it's gonna take her a while to shake this. You never want your name to be number one trending topic in

when you're in college unless you like got famous for a talent you have any other reason is like, oh man, I'm getting mean. We don't know how fucking true it is too. Yeah. This poor girl. I do feel bad for her. I feel terrible for her. Why is X so shitty that when you're not, I'm like, oh, well, let's go check my trending. Why is their algorithm, their AI function that pairs like a photo related to the trending topic

so out of whack? And it is often that the number one trending thing was this story. And the photo they used was a photo from the 70s of the Menendez brothers who haven't, who no one involved in this story and the photo they used was a photo from the seventies of the Menendez brothers who no one involved in this story even knows about. It's terrible. The AI, whatever AI they use to write the synopsises

of like news stories that are unfolding, it's usually completely wrong. I will read like a soccer headline that's AI generated by X and then be like, wait, this is big news. And then I'll dip into the tweets and be like, this is completely false. Dude, it botches trade deadline stuff all the time. I swear. The Menendez brothers. The Menendez, like what? Yikes. To my knowledge, they had nothing to do with this. No, but this might turn into, I mean, this guy might kill his dad. They're incarcerated. This guy might kill hisously. This whole thing stinks.

If she wants an internship this summer, she can have one at Washed. I'll find something for this girl to do. Come on. You don't have to be on camera or anything. We can find some administrative tasks that you can do remotely. So did this dude, who talked? How did this get out? Do you think he told his boys or did he hit the fraternity chat? You can't tell your boys that. Good question. If you found out that your dad slept with your girlfriend, like, I don't even know who you go to in that moment. Maybe he was just like up at the frat house one day, just fucking distraught.

And his boys gave him some whiskey and then got it out of him. You know, it could be something like that. Maybe they poured him a beer out of the keg in the closet. Yeah, probably. That's what happened. Maybe they mixed up some pink panty droppers or something. Don't say that. Can we do a little chaser kill? Can we do a chaser for this situation? A much needed one? Yeah. Randy, can you bring up a tweet? I've watched 50 times today. Fucking love this dude. I'm gonna go ahead and post a against the, uh, the frat castle, the pillar in front of the frat house, just checking the vibe,

just looking over the lawn, just filled with this. He's got a cocky tilt on his backwards hat, but not too cocky. No, it's not too cocky. Good lettuce coming out the back. He's got just enough to where, you know, like this dude's very sure it's cool out because he's got the hoodie on, but it's sunny. It's like the per it's the perfect day. He might have to peel that thing a little bit. Yeah. He'll peel it at about three o'clock. This is what I imagine the mushroom, the magic, whatever the coffee club shit in Austin is, like just people just like doing this all day. I mean, I hope that I hope in this moment this kid's looking around and thinking to himself, it's never going to be better than this. He's right. I mean, he's having a fucking day. Like I just hope that he understands the gravity of the moment that

he's in right now. I'm living right now. This is cheesing. This is what, if you're cheesing, this is it. I can't believe this is my life. Dude, he's peacocking. Like that look to the left where he acknowledges somebody. Dude, he's just amazing. He's scanning the whole crowd, man.

He's five seconds away from walking up to a girl and just going, ha ha ha. Yo, is this your little? Sydney, glad ha ha ha. Yo, is I want to know what school this is. It could be at so many different schools. It could be anywhere, dude. That's part of the reason this video is so great is that we've all seen this happen. I'm so in my head that I don't think I ever felt

this share of myself to where I could just sit there by myself doing this at a party. He's feeling himself like he's never felt this way. Yeah, but did you ever do enough cocaine to make you feel like he probably feels right now? What do you think? Yeah, you think there's some PEDs? Well, I don't know. I mean, but did you ever do enough cocaine to make you feel like he probably feels right now? What do you think? Yeah, you think there's some PEDs? Well, I don't know.

I mean, the jaw action's not great, a great look for him, but you can also visibly see a piece of gum in there. Could be Lucy gum. Maybe it's Lucy gum. Mango, he's giving mango. God. That hoodie's going hard too. He's just scanning.

Dude, the guy behind him in the wayfares, just so frat. He's kinda killing it. Yeah. See the guy in him in the wayfares. He's kind of cute. Yeah. See the guy in the foreground with the ski goggles on his head. Yeah. Dude, sideways ski goggles at the darty. They're gonna spray beer later.

That's what's gonna happen. Yeah. Yeah. Yup. Dude, this guy's gonna be a problem at the afters. I wish I could bottle up this feeling and just take it every now and then. Oh my God. You might not make it at the afters. I wish I could bottle up this feeling and just take it every now and then. Oh my God.

You might not make it to the afters, man. If you could bottle up his aura right now and take it, like it would be like a limitless pill. Is he aura farming? No, he's aura harvesting. He is, yeah, he is the aura. Yeah, like the far, he's not farming anymore. He's just straight up picking his crops.

People are getting secondhand aura just from being close to him. Yeah, I apologize for the glazing but I mean I just this was from Older Obama. You gotta give credit where credits do it's just a ah okay I want this to be Bama okay. God I mean maybe it's these guys don't look like Bamba guy. Oh, I say that. I don't know what fucking frat dudes look like anymore. Randy, can you pull up a image and or video from slack? Uh sure.

No, I can't because I'm going to pull up a link. Ah, yes, yes, yes. Oh, this guy. It just reminded me of this guy? Oh, this guy. It just reminded me of this guy. How did you not have the video of this, Dave? I think I do. Like you are the guy that has this video. If I need this video, I'm texting you immediately.

I think I do. He's so sweaty, man. I forgot how good this guy is. This is from Yacht Week? I don't know. I think we just called it Yacht Week. This guy's definitely in some type of Laf Lavia country on drugs. He's on something. Yeah, but I like the part of the video where he puts his Rolex in his mouth. Yeah. At one point, there's another part of the video that we found a few

years later where the guy, he's just so into this DJ set that he just fake eats his Rolex. I'm going to say it and I'm going to support this guy. We got to stop recording people at live music events without their consent. This guy was having the time of his fucking life. Dialed in. No one's been locked in like this in years. He was dialed.

Do you do if you like work, if you like you work in some German office and a guy comes in to interview and it's this guy. Hiring him a friend. Yeah. All right. This guy's got intensity. No one has more chiseled features than this guy.

No. He's coke then. He's so sweaty in the Oxford shirt. The Oxford goes hard and you know it's like legit because it's the old polo. It's a small horse. Good for him, dude. Yeah, guys just locked in had a day. This is what it reminded me of. Randy, you've been on any first dates recently?

No. Okay. Set up. Should I have asked that? I'm back on the hinge. But Oh, big announcement. Ladies look out. Yeah, whatever. Dating kind of sucks. I like tried to match with Rondy. I'm sorry. I don't know who that was. Who was that? I don't know. Who was that? Just some nice young lady. There's some dos and don'ts when it comes to entering a woman's household. That's all I'm going to tell you.

Can you pull the tweet up? If you had any thoughts, Randy, not just Randy, anybody out there, any guys, fellows, straight males, straight dudes, straight guys, straight guys, straight guys, straight guys, straight guys, straight guys, straight guys, straight guys, straight guys, straight guys, straight guys, straight guys, straight guys, straight guys, straight guys, straight guys, straight guys, straight guys, If you had any thoughts, Randy, not just Randy, anybody out there, any guys, fellas, straight males, straight dudes. Don't you dare go into a a gal's house and start complimenting things. Okay. This is from what's the at there at Spooky Shaw. Spooky

Shaw, ex bisexual. I want you to read it, Randy. X bisexual. I haven't read this. So I might get some words wrong like obligingly, but sure, why not? I'll read it, why not? Had a straight dude come to my place as he was so impressed by the simplest things,

art on the wall, rugs, a $40 knife block set. Dudes are so fucking lame and pathetic. Low, they for real need a mommy to take care of them their whole lives. You guys ever embarrassed yourselves and just like complimented a lady's home? You ever been in that position? I can't imagine being in such a desperate place

where I compliment somebody's home. Like, don't you put art on the wall so people are like, Oh, that's really, that looks, that's nice. That looks nice. As many people pointed out, this dude's just trying to get laid, right? I mean, just being complimentary. What's wrong with this dude being a fan of things in life? Like, come on. Maybe, maybe the art on the wall is dope.

You ever seen a knife block set? I have a knife block set, yeah. So are you telling me that the reason I didn't get laid at all in my twenties was because on first dates I'd go to their place and I would sit down and I'd talk to them about their scented candles and certain upgrades they could make or burning techniques that they could employ.

You were getting roasted in a group chat. Yeah, like. Interesting choice you made with the rug in this room. Yeah, you didn't let that candle burn long enough on the first burn. See, it's just kind of tunneling over there. This loser came over and complimented my black and white skyline of Austin print. God, the more I think about it, the more that I probably had a few first dates where the girl thought I was gay.

Fuck it, we ball. Ball up top. Yeah, ball up top. Run it back. Someone said, switch the genders and this is like an Andrew Tate tweet. It's pretty true, pretty accurate. Like I think we should stand straight guys enjoying

nice art and knives. She notes that he insists on using my boof ass kitchen. I don't know, I've never heard boo fast kitchen in my life. He wants to use it to cook and use my shitty knives so bad. Like, boy, if you don't go to Marshall's with a $20 bill right now, I swear to God. Like, just let the guy cook you something. Yeah, she kind of sucks, man.

Yeah, it's a highly controversial tweet. It's done a number of views, over 30 million views and people are responding. Imagine if this was you, Dave. Imagine if you had a girl over and you had a print on your wall. She complimented it and you looked at her and you're like, what the fuck? Do you have daddy issues or some shit? Yeah. I'm sorry. This isn't going gonna work for me. You're really nice. But how dare you talk about the Dolan Gaiman on my wall?

Hey, there. How do you appreciate my decor? Get the fuck out of my house right now. Trying to think what what kind of prints I had on the wall in college I definitely had like a soccer tease one that was in my apartment me and madison's apartment It was really lame. I don't know why we had it up in the living room My roommate had up like a miller light like beer girl poster sick and uh, I mean it was just a girl in a bikini And I had never seen the poster again for over a decade until I moved to Austin and went to Little Woodrow's. And it was just in the bathroom at Little Woodrow's. And it makes me so happy to see something like that and just be like, wow, okay. The bathroom at Little Woodrow's is

hilarious to me. They've had that same poster up on the wall of the 1990s models and bikinis same poster up on the wall of like the the 1990s models and bikinis for since since they opened the place I think they refused to update it it's the worst bathroom in Austin well I moved down here and I was like after like a week of being here I was like I think I might like I think I might move back to Michigan like I'm not really feeling it and then I walked into the Woodrow's bathroom and saw that poster and I thought daddy's home everyone knows what I'm talking if you've been there you know exactly what I'm talking about it's just if they would just fix the,

if you had an option to shut a stall door, it would be a great bathroom. He's talking so he can go to the bathroom, Dylan. You can't poop in that bathroom. It's unpoopable. Yeah. It's not unpoopable. I don't think the door.

You have to have a door guy. No, it doesn't. You just need a door guy. Yeah. I had to hire a door guy out of my friend group when I had some Michigan guys visit one year. And there was another bathroom on Rainy Street that had no lock.

And I looked at him and I said, I need you to stand in front of this door right now. And if you move, like it's over for you. If you're pooping at Little Woodrow's and that door swings open, the entire bar can see you pooping. You can make eye contact with someone 40 yards away. Dylan, what would you do? Date, go on well, go back to your place. And she complements

the 88 bottles of hand sanitizer you have. You would think I'm up to something nefarious for sure. Like, no, it's a podcast thing. It's hard to explain. I'm sorry. It was free. It was an ongoing global pandemic. What did you do with all of that hand sanitizer? I slowly got rid of it. People who would just stop by my house and please take some of this with you.

And finally, I think I threw away like 20 of them at the end of it. Did you ever think like you should take a bath in it and just like sanitize your whole body? It wasn't the gel kind. It was just straight like rubbing alcohol basically. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's because yeah, it was done by,

wasn't it from like a liquor company that made hand sanitizer? Yes, exactly. A nice gesture. It was a COVID play. Yeah, you didn't drink it? No, I didn't get that desperate. Imagine.

So guys, just keep your mouth shut. Even if you see something like you really like, just don't compliment it. The knife block set, you gotta just just keep your mouth shut. Even if you see something like you really like, just don't compliment it. The knife block set, you gotta just nut up and not say anything. She sucks.

Even if it's a cut code knife set. Like the dude was being nice. Trying to get laid. If someone walked in and complimented my knife set, I'd be so happy. Thank you. Thank you for recognizing the knife set that I bought. Yeah. William Sonoma did a good job sending it to me.

Thank you. All right. I'm going to listen to her. I'm not going to compliment a woman ever again in my life. Nope. We're done holding doors. We're only holding doors for our boys. That's right.

Yup. Chivalry is not dead for the boys. Val cell. Let's go. It says it's not an incel, it's a volatile. It's like voluntarily. So okay, also, okay. I was wondering where that was going. Okay. Okay. Anyway, he's moving. Yeah, that's toxic. There's a hat on the corner of this table that Dave's gonna

Parking lot. Let's talk about it. Parking lot wars. Okay, Dylan wrote about Washed Weekly. Can you summarize your column for Washed Weekly? Last week, Dylan, washed.substack.com for anyone out there who's unfamiliar with the parking lot situation at the Wash Media headquarters. I wrote a timeline of the parking. I'm calling it the, I call the parking lot a war zone. the Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington

Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington

Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington

Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Yeah, subs are there. Subs are there, brother. So that lasts about three weeks, making our parking lot almost unusable at times. Then they moved out and the tenants moved in. And week one of moving in, they had a couple of signs installed next to two parking spots. And they are reserved parking spots. The only two reserved parking spots in the entire parking lot, which is only 16 spots total,

three companies share 16 spots. And we took that as a shot at us. We didn't know that we could reserve spots. I still don't think we can actually. We've made the request. It got the request. It hadn't got denied yet, but they have not responded to me. I think they're hoping I forget about it. It's being reviewed. We will follow up

Making that matter worse They would get here But at least one car would get here before any of us would and instead of taking one of their their newly assigned reserve spots They would take the spot right in front of our door, which is the primo spot the number one spot leaving the other two spots, not only vacant, but reserved for whoever shows up next for their company. And so they were kind of they're kind of abusing their privileges in a way, twofold because of aggressive, they claim the

spots, and then they weren't even using them leaving them available that we couldn't use. So it was pretty aggressive. But can I say something also? Yes. You may be thinking, okay, well, maybe those two reserve spots are for like the head honchos of the so maybe the person arriving early wasn't you know, that spot wasn't for them. They weren't like the owner or the manager. That is not the case. To the best of our knowledge.

The person arriving early and not intentionally not parking in the reserve spot. We believe was either a founder or a upper level. Yeah, executive by the the vehicle type. It seems to be like one of the big dogs over there. One of the BSDs. Yeah. Will has an update. I think we've won. Okay. So, when I when I arrive in the morning, I'm normally the first person here from Wash Media, but I'm not the first person here in the greater complex. There's usually one or two other people here. This week, since Dylan has requested that they use their allotted parking spots first, they have been doing so and they have opened up our side of the parking lot, which

allows us to park in our most desirable spots. The theory is when I reached out to the property manager, they send an email to this company saying please use reserved spots first. I don't know what else to do at this point because I don't know how much more I don't know. I don't think we have much more we can do unless they actually give us two parking spots, which I don't think they're going to. I think they're going to give us one. I

think we have to declare this a small victory for WASH media. Well, it's a it's a little irritating because they they responded to me, the property manager and they said, well, they negotiated their reserve spots before they signed their lease. How do we how do we know that was even on the table? We would have done so too. Oh yeah. I mean to negotiate those spots, you have to anticipate that there's going

to be parking problems. We were the only people in this entire like complex when we moved in. There were like, there's no reason that we should have had to negotiate spots. Also, we would have not known to negotiate for spots beforehand because we wouldn't have known that there's limited parking.

But because they've allowed the parking situation to get out of control, they've screwed us over. And there's like a palpable unspoken tension building between the two companies because we know there's a situation going on and so do they. There's been no contact made as far as I understand. No one said hi to us. They walked by our door to get to their mailbox. But these property managers, the property manager needs to understand that, hey, we're the old guard here. Yeah. We've been here longer than anybody. Longer than anybody. That's right. We've been paying rent on time. We deserve respect. On the monthly. Mostly on time, but yeah. Mostly on time. But like, just give us a little parking spot. Cut us off. And for the record, the lease does state that we are allotted five parking spots.

So can we tow people? See, now I have to get to the point of towing. Suddenly, I used to be the victim here. I used to be reigned upon for complaining about parking situations. And now we're being criticized for not going far enough. I don't know what the people want at this point. Yeah, what do they want from you?

From us. Can we technically tow if there's not a spot for us and we're guaranteed our five? I need to look and see if it says you are allowed five vehicles, five spots, or you are allocated. Yeah, I'd like to see that. And also. I don't know. We've had some issues with the AC here.

People forget that probably because it's just now warming back up. Not the best track record with the with the landlord. I don't want to complain too much about the AC though because the episodes we did from your couch were gas. You say we won this. When will we win? I'm gonna call it a draw. Okay. So is there a is there a way we can win? What is winning in your eyes right now? Reserve spots. Okay. That's winning. Which would clearly be a response to their reserve spots. It would be funny if we actually got to do it. Our signs gotta be fun. And a little bit bigger than theirs.

in theirs. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna get, when we get our signs, I think we should get them on mirrors with like text over the mirror because when the sun hits in the morning, okay, from the east, directly into their window,

it's gonna hit that sign and go directly in their window. Oh, talking, uh, laser weapons. Ricky created a, uh, a sign for us that we could use. And it said, uh, wash media parking. We've towed before and we'll do it again. It's good side, which is funny. It's a good side. Yeah.

Talking about you. I might have a photo of the car that I got towed. Should we just put that on there? Like we did this. I either want the nicest signs ever or I want the shittiest signs ever. Cause like they have taste over there. You know, they're architects.

Like they have taste. Yeah. If we have the ugliest signs ever, I think that'll aggravate people more. Just hand drawn. Yeah, like cardboard. I hope we get a call and they're like, Hey, we heard the show, it's a landlord.

We want to just please, we're gonna give you guys a spot, but please don't turn the sign into a direct energy weapon, like Will suggested. We just want a regular sign. The property manager had to have known that those signs were gonna create a little stir among the other tenants. Well, they didn't know we were such little bitches. They don't

realize how much time we have on our hands. Yeah. They don't realize how petty we can get. And we just stare out into the parking lot from our from where we sit. It's like it's an ongoing discussion. Well, dude, with anything in Austin, like your your experience can only be as enjoyable as the parking situation. I'm not gonna sit here and be happy if I have to walk from the street up to the office when we're guaranteed five spots and we have five employees

and no one else come in in the office these days. I had to drop my dog off at the groomer this morning. So I got in about 10, 10, 10, 15, and I definitely parked way down the street. Like way down the street. Did you? I didn't mind. It's beautiful outside.

But I was just thinking, like, when I walked up, that's what I was saying. One of the reserve spots has no car in it. But the car that's usually there, that I believe is from one of the higher ups, is just parked in the middle with all of our cars. And I was just like, huh. OK. And you were back then up at the Legends, right? I did it today, and there was just like, huh. Okay.

And you were back to end up at the legends, right? I did that today and there was no car in the reserve spot. So I don't know what you guys are talking about winning cause I had to park up here and there was an outpainting at the reserve. I probably- I've updated the rundown to say we had a small victory. We did.

Look, it's a small victory. We won a battle. I mean, Randy showed up at 9.38 every day. Not every day. And when the other employees at the other companies show up at 9.30 promptly, like you're just, you're kind of doing it to yourself. You're a 9.38 guy. I had an off morning.

I was here at like 9.10 yesterday. Because you got so freaking high. That's because you had something to do. He got so flipping high. You can't just, you can't use game show day. It's like the day that you showed up early. You know what? You know what? The weather's changed. I'm just gonna bike in and solve all these problems for everyone. That's fine. I don't I part of

me thinks that this would be easier if Dylan just took the e-bike in every day but at the same time, I don't wanna alter our behavior. No helmet still by the way. To get screwed. Stop bragging about that. Yeah, it's not a bragging. It's just an update. Go get a helmet. I'll buy you a helmet dude. You can't ride that's a company bike. You cannot ride it without a helmet any longer.

It would be a bad look for our sponsor if you died on that bike. They're not a sponsor anymore. Well, they gave us a free e-bike. It'd be a bad look for a lot of things. A lot of if I died. We're not paying any kind of hospital bills if you're riding a company bike. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna ask the company to pay for that.

If you get injured, we're firing you very soon after you get injured. Okay. Fair enough. It's like in Mad Men, when that dude's foot gets run over by a lawnmower after they land that deal and then they fire him because he can't play golf anymore.

Yeah, I watched some episodes from time to time. Is that a real storyline in the show? It is, it is, it's very sad. You're like, ah. That was in the office, right? Yes, the secretary was riding a John Deere, I reckon. Saw some criticism for you not watching in order, David. Did you like to respond?

I did it, guess what? Did it last night too? Probably do it tonight. That's what's up. He's out-hitched. Get out of Dave's fucking, don't tell Dave what to do too? Probably do it tonight. That's what's up. He's out. Get out of Dave's fucking I can put I can put it together. I can put it together. It's kind of it actually is a sign of intelligence If you watch shows like that because it shows that you're you're filling in the gaps. Uh-huh. You're stimulating creativity. Yeah

No, I talked to a backer who reached out privately a nice guy and I told him I'm probably gonna start it from the beginning It's a great show the random episodes I've seen. How fucking great is it when they go to California? UPS. Very vibey. Anytime, anytime Don is taking a trip to LA, you know **** is about to get wild. Roll back. Just drop the bag on us. Roll back. What was the criticism that I'm bouncing around? Yeah. Yeah Yeah, not watching in order.

Okay, I did see that. And the person said that, was saying I shouldn't have said that Don had Riz. Is that not like his whole bit? I don't know, I feel like he does have, it's very- Who randomly drops into one episode at a time out of order over the span of five years,

you're almost intentionally making it harder for yourself. Absolutely. Challenging myself. That's what they said. Okay. There was somebody on there. I said something about, oh, not important. Look, I'm going to start it, but from now, if it's on, it's on, and I'm going to watch it. He has Riz. Like, I don't know. I saw someone say one time about that show that there's no storyline, it's just a whole show on vibes. Is that accurate?

No. It's just, it's, no, there's definitely a storyline. A lot of vibes though. Yeah, the vibes are crazy, but like, it's slow in there. It's, maybe I'm dumb. It's a very big possibility here. I feel like there's a lot of unspoken things that happen in the show that you have to pick up on.

And if you don't pick up on those, it doesn't, it's not going to be interesting. Sometimes a discussion is had and it's not explicitly said what is happening, but you walk away from it being like, oh, okay. If you're not paying attention, it can seem like a very boring show. But I also think I might be dumb and I might have to pay attention even harder to those moments because I know that I'm gonna miss them Don lit a young lady cigarette for her which happens frequently on this show and just look

cool as fuck I do that for my boys at the bar that's the way to do it just bust open that zip oh yeah you got to do with the zip oh can't do it with like the 99 cent Bic lighters you buy at the gas station. No, you're not supposed to smoke things and light them with matches, right? Why not? Breathe in those carcinogens. I've definitely done that. Oh yeah, I do it all the time. I'm just saying they say not to.

They're saying candles now too. If you're smoking and you're breathing in carcinogens anyways, what are you talking about? If lighting a scented candle and breathing in whatever chemicals in the air, like if that's going to take a year off my life over the course of things, that is something I'm more than willing to do. I'm not gonna be having fun when I'm 96 years old, and I haven't burned a scented candle in my life. I'd rather just die at 95.

I mean, I know, I know, doctor here, but are you saying like, burning butane to light a cigarette is healthier than burning wood to light a cigarette? I don't know. I'm not saying anything. I asked a question, Randy. Randy, here's the deal, man. We're not going to get it right.

Let me ask Grok. Yeah. I don't know about Grok. Based on what, I don't know if Grok's involved in the trending topics, but the Menendez brothers. Yeah. Somehow caught up in the burger. Dylan called Grok what he thinks is the best AI. No, I'm just kidding. Dylan said that he read somewhere that Grok was ahead of everything else in AI and I asked him if he read it on Twitter.

That they knew it. Yeah, maybe. Grok read it. I actually did not read it on Twitter. I don't know. I don't I don't even use these **** thing. What is the Google one? Is it Galaxy Gemini Gemini? I've heard Gemini is really good. I'm more of a Jet Force Gemini guy. Sick and sixty-four game real ones now. Baldowers now. It's a ball now or take. Yep. Uh Dylan Spacebar. You got a quick space bar for you people

today. Why don't you do your intro song bud? Yep. Spacebar Got a quick spacebar for you people today. I want you to do your intro song bud. Yep spacebar Spacebar it's a motherfucking spacebar That's a spacebar jingle I've been keeping you guys updated on this asteroid that is barreling towards earth And set to arrive in 2032, December of 2032. The percentage chances of it hitting Earth have steadily gone up.

I'm sad to report that that has now gone the other way and there's now a 0.0039% chance that it hits Earth. So we're safe. You know, the way things are going, the chance that it hits the chance that it hits Earth. So, we're safe. You know, the way things are going, we're probably going to be gone by then anyway. Probably going to blow ourselves up with all

this warring. I just wanted some excitement. I didn't want to sit and get wiped off the face of the earth. I just wanted some excitement, you know. Well, dude, it could have landed anywhere from, like, I don't know, the west coast of Africa all the way to South America. Yeah.

I mean, anywhere. I just wanted it to scream past us and like, oh, and then say, oh, we're good, you know? Did you see the ant tweet? Ants can tweet now? No, it was a hypothetical that you said screaming past us, so it made me think, like, if an ant going the speed I did see well What it would it just hit you back? I actually want to ask y'all about this

The ant thing. Yeah. Okay. Hold on. I have the tweet. Okay Oh, man, maybe I don't have the tweet. How fast was the ant moving? Do you remember that? Was it a bullet? No, it was faster than a bullet. Faster than a speeding bullet, if you will. Oh, if an ant hits you going,

I mean, I can't, how many zeros is that? 100 million miles an hour. Is that 100 million? That's pretty good. 100 million miles an hour. Is that 100 million? That's pretty good. 100 million miles an hour. Would you die or would it not matter? I just like that part. Would it just not matter?

Would it not matter? It's like, eh. Would it go straight through you? Yeah. I don't think it would. It would. I feel like it just goes straight through you and it'd be like a very, like a small pierce.

Like it wouldn't explode on impact. It would just. It would go through you? It would go. Yeah. I think it'd have enough mass to do something like that. Yeah, it's gonna go right through you. Yeah, but force times mass equals acceleration.

It's gonna go right through you like some PF Chang's lettuce wraps, Hoss. So if it gets you right here, are you gonna die? Like right in the dome? Yeah, if it gets you in a vital. Damn. What if it hit you in the mouth and you're just you swallow it?

Was that the toy? Like, was that an ant? Why was it going so fast? How dumb does the **** person who escalated the chances last week feel? Pretty embarrassing. Pretty big. Like, you walk into the, you walk into the office and you're like,

guys, it's time. We gotta, gotta alert the the authorities. I was like confirmed by like real scientists though. It was just, I don't know. Yeah, but is any scientist actually real? It could go up. Wow. What if we're in a simulation and all this science stuff is just made up stuff to make you feel more comforted about like life or uncomfortable?

That's a conspiracy theory that might have legs. I don't know. Oh, I would actually actually the odds of it actually being a simulation. It's interesting. Oh, yeah. Doesn't Elon still think we're this whole thing? Well, if we're in a simulation, I'm really annoyed with the person that's controlling mine for putting Elon in it. Yeah, they really fucked up the vibe. You ruined my favorite app. He is a vibe tanker, isn't he? Throwing the Menendez brothers in our fucking trending check this out

okay check this out uh if it hits a person the outcome is grim but fascinating with 300 000 joules right of kinetic energy calculated as something else it's like a tiny hypersonic missile great sam th, so it probably Vaporized mid-transit due to air friction turning it into a plasma slug before impact if it hits a vital spot like the head or the heart The person's done for a headshot would blast through the skull potentially exploding it from the shockwave and heat a chest hit could shred The heart or lungs with the energy dump causing a small cavitation bubble. Messy and lethal.

Non-vital areas, say an arm, might just lose the limb with the entry wound cauterized by the ant's fiery demise and an exit wound like a gunshots. Yeah, bitch. They even are right. Yo, Mr. White, is that true? I think you saw the fucking research on it. I didn't see the research on it. It's a tweet. One thing about me, I don't know. I don't know. Oh, Mr. White. Is that true? Because you saw the fucking research on it.

I didn't see the research on it. It's a tweet. One thing about me, I don't do research. I go on Vibes. You don't do your own research? I go on Vibes alone, my friend. How do we get here? What are we talking about? The spaceship?

I don't know. Yeah, the asteroid, which unfortunately, will be passed by safely. Okay. What are the odds that it hits like the moon? Riddle me that, Batman. The moon. I don't have those numbers in front of me. Can't run them real quick. Yeah, I just got you didn't crack your knuckles. It didn't go. Yeah, I don't know, man. That'd be kind of exciting. With that. Oh,

that would fuck up some shit on tides. Yeah, tides. Ha. Dumb question. How much of the tides changing affect us? Would it create just crazy weather phenomenon that we haven't seen before by the changing tides? I'll be honest, I think you're asking the wrong people here. No, no, no, no, this is something I prepared for. I did the research. It would be a real mess. Sometimes I just, like, it's,

as someone who hasn't done the research, it's hard for me to fathom how much the moon can affect the actual oceans. Okay, Will, how about this? Your favorite album drops, you're not gonna be able to get it on title. All those orders are gonna get backed up at Wilmonds. True. True.

See, it's because of the gravitational pull of the moon. Do you not understand? I don't know if the moon has that much pull. Dude, they were calling me the moon because I pulled. The moon pulls, bro. The moon fucking pulls. How much does it pull though? It pulls a lot. It pulls the oceans, bitch. Maybe you should chill more. Yeah. The moon pools bro the moon fucking how much does it pull though it pulls a lot

It pulls the ocean maybe it's a chill more. Yeah, it tugs on those what those oceans do the moon Can't stop tugging if it talked if it talked that hard though We just have a line of ocean going to the moon at all times. You know what I mean? No, it's because the gravitate the gravity of earth is stronger Don't a girl comes to your house and compliments your study hard print on your wall, what you do. Study hard? Yeah, the one you got from Spencer's gifts a few years ago and it's been on your wall.

I have to kick her out. She's just glazing me too hard. Like you're so pathetic. What are you doing? Complimenting my shit. There you go, right answer. Yeah, thank you. You gotta go, babe.

She's a- You were too kind back there. I gotta get up early. Got work tomorrow. Her bio, she is a brain and psych science. Maybe she needs to get a new job. Oh, damn. He's not holding back. Yeah, take that. I don't even know who we're talking about right now. Yeah, you really didn't provide the context. The girl that we're... The ex bisexual. Yeah, the lady. Oh, we're still on her. She's no longer bisexual.

You just checked out for the past two minutes. We went back there. Sorry. Randy. My simulation guy turned my brain off for a few minutes. What's the point? We're just simulating this. Really, what is the point? This is all determined anyway. So what are we even doing, man? Like the annoying thing for me is if it anyway, so what are we even doing, man? Like the annoying thing for me is if it is a simulation,

like when we die, do we get like a big reveal at the end? Like, hey, we're in a simulation, or am I gonna go to heaven? Like, where am I going? Hey, so how do you feel about your simulated life? Oh, fine. Yeah, fine. There's some highs and lows.

Yeah, I'd be like. Some things that would've changed. Yeah, there's a couple things I take issue with. Yeah, we had this pod once, and one of the guys got tickets to the masters. Yeah. What's up with that master shit, huh? Will did tell me last week that he's like, sometimes I think I'm in a simulation, but I look over at you, Randy, and realize what the fucking point is you being here. So I think I'm not. That's cold. I think I said, I think Randy

asked me a dumb question and I said that. Randy's the red herring. Since there's no purpose to have you being a program. Have I ever told y'all like, okay, have I told y'all my vanilla ice theory? No, it's here. It's not even a theory.

It's just, okay. Have you guys ever seen the movie, Cool as Ice starring Vanilla Ice? No. I definitely saw that. Sounds like something I should watch though. It's one of the worst movies ever made. And there's like-

I guess that. Just the whole vibe of the movie is something that I can't really shake. Like, you know how Greece freaks me out for some reason? Yeah. There's something about the Vanilla Ice movie that I can't shake. And if I am partaking in the smoking of marijuana with anybody during the day when the sun is

up and maybe things go too far and suddenly I'm like, man, that was too much. I have this feeling inside of me that makes me feel like I'm in the vanilla ice movie and I start to look around and everything is like it just, I'm like in, I'm mentally, I'm in the vanilla ice cool as ice movie. Like I'm in that setting for some reason. That's weird. That's weird. You say that there are certain like geographical places in my life that I immediately go to in certain like geographical places in my life that I immediately go to in certain like mental exercises. And it's, I've always thought it's a very strange thing. Well, do you ever have something happen to you?

Like, okay, sometimes I will be like mentally in a location, even though I'm not there. And I will always associate like, if I find something out and I'm like there. And I will always associate, if I find something out and I'm in that location, mentally, I will always associate that location with that thing. I thought it was weird because I do the same thing. One of my locations is a bank parking lot for some reason,

a bank I used to go, don't even go to anymore. And I go, I hear something and mentally I come there taking in the news and it's so fucking weird to me. I have like intersections where I'm like, no, when I think of that situation, it has to do, like I'm in that intersection for some reason. That is weird. Has that been a few days?

Dave is just like, what are you guys talking about? I'm trying to relate and I don't, I'm not, I don't think I'm fully grasping the concept. I think you guys have like that thing that's like really, you know what it is, but it's really hard to explain. So if you're hearing about something that takes you to a place, or like, that's probably not the best way to explain it. Just certain things I hear or certain like thought processes

I go through occur in a geographic location that makes no sense to anything I'm taking in. Like let's say that like, I've had a conversation with my friend about something and for some reason when he tells me something like there's a location in my head I might be there I might have just gotten done there I might have to go there later but like if if I think about situations that like my friend brought me it's always physically in that location now. Dude that's so weird that you say that. It's weird. For me, I think-

There has to be a term for it. It's the Bank of America on William Cannon. So it's not something like a saying reminds you of this. It's like when you're like, are thinking about it, like you are just in your head, you're there. Yes. But for some reason, when you think about like a multiplication problem, you're in a Lowe's parking lot.

Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, it doesn't happen. There's just certain things. I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's not everything, but there's certain random situations that are associated with something more, like, I don't know, it's such a weird mental block.

Can you relate to this at all? Uh, no, I don't know. I, if sometimes I'll just like remember being somewhere or something like that, but my, my brain, I'm everywhere at once. So it doesn't know. Sometimes I'll just like remember being somewhere or something like that, but my brain, I'm everywhere at once, so it doesn't really, I never really transfer, it just wanders so much. I bet you other people who are listening, since we both experienced this,

we know what we're talking about. I wanna like type all this in now and see if there's like any term for it. I bet there has to be. And I bet it's something that I do so often that I can't even like, it doesn't feel weird and that's why I can't really, you know what I mean? Part of the reason I wanna look up the term for it now

is so it can be better explained for anybody that we're trying to explain it to. I would love for you to unexplain the explanation. I'm gonna do my own research on this. You know, have you guys heard the word Sonder? Sonder? Yeah. Yeah, he's my boy.

Dude, Sonder? You mentioned this word. I probably brought it up recently. There are moments where I can't, like when we're in New York, I just couldn't stop thinking about it. Doesn't Sonder just mean like walk about? Hold on. Hold on. It's Sra over there.

The realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own. Oh yeah. Oh, I've had that before. Definitely like in a like sports arena where I'm like, there's so many people in this and every single person has their own life. For me, it was when we were walking through Central Park and we were standing at that fountain that everyone stands around and just looking down at it

and just being like, damn, some of these people are just walking to work. Some of these people are on vacation. Some of these people are hustling. Some of these people are like, there's just so many different things that people are doing that it becomes overwhelming for me to think about. I've had that.

To people watching. A similar thing, thinking about like, even though someone I know is in my life, I can't see them, they are living their own life. Like even Brett going to go get Chipotle, it's like he is living, he is completely somewhere else and I don't know what he's doing and what he's up to. Well, like when I'm in, when we're in this room,

I don't think of Brett, I don't even think of Brett unless we're talking about him. But he's just out there doing his own thing the entire time, just vibing without us. Makes me think of the Truman show a little bit. Yeah. Yeah, the spacebar got off the rail. Yeah. Maybe when I was like at school thinking back like being a school kid, like my parents were at work doing their job like not our job right here, but they were just doing work. That's crazy.

Everyone has their own shit. not our job right here, but they were just doing work. That's crazy. Everyone has their own shit. Whoa. For sure, dude. Dude. Mignana. Dude, like what is Parks learning about right now at school?

Fucking crazy. Yeah. Yeah, like there's some person talking to my kid right now. I don't even know who, I don't even know what's going on. Fucking wild. I'm gonna look into that shit. Yeah, I wanna know now. I've never heard anyone articulate it the way you did.

My buddy and I have talked about it before and like I've had, we haven't come to a conclusion on any of it, it's just been like, yeah, I know what you're talking about. Did you look into it? No. Okay. I need to.

You should DM the ex bisexual or whatever her Twitter is. Yeah, she's brain- I bet she knows. Psychiatry might know. Just don't compliment her. Do not compliment her. Hey, so real quick, you suck. But I have a question for you. And she might answer it. Yeah. Thank you for starting that way. Yeah, I feel like I

might know what you guys talking about. If I if I I'll text you guys if it happens to be okay. Okay. Bro, let's go out this weekend. There's a crazy event happening. I like to turn off bro. There's a crazy event happening. We had the party and it was lit. I got yelled at by a prostitute. Let's go out this weekend. There's a crazy event happening. I like to turn off bro. There's a crazy event happening We had the party and it was lit. I got yelled at by a prostitute This weekend of fun presented by our friends over at roback We had a UPS man drop off a big bag for us while we were recording this episode right now And I can't wait for this episode to be over so we can dive into that thing and see what roback sent us I'm excited to put those grit shorts on man. Something tells me we're gonna

have some joggers, some polos, some shorts. Let me toss an ass in that thing. They may they do an athletic Q-zip now and I believe there's some in that package. I'm gonna start putting on weight so that I can take away from the larges that you get. Okay sounds good. I like that plan. I'm gonna start putting on weight so that I can take away from the largest that you get. Okay, sounds good. I like that plan. I'm also hatching a plan with Dave to put on some weight so that I can get 20 yards on my drive. And maybe if I can put on enough weight and snore loud enough, I can try to get my own sleeping plan. I don't know why they say you that. They shouldn't tell you that.

You'll be fine. Washed20 gets you 20% off at checkout at roback.com. Dylan, I have a question for you. What it is. What are you doing this weekend? Well, thanks for asking. I don't really have much. I have parks on Friday. Can do something fun with him. I'm sure the weather, we were to talk about it before. My goodness. All time weather weekend. It's gonna be warm and sunny. I will hopefully be outside for much of the weekend. I would love to do some patio beers if you guys are free. Don't know what your weekends look like quite yet,

but I will be available. My phone will be charged up. I'll be in a good cell service area, ready for any kind of activity, okay? Once you guys know I'm available and willing to hang out with you guys. As long as there's alcohol involved. Otherwise, I'll just stay home.

Just kidding. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I have nothing on the docket and it's pretty exciting. It does feel like a good weekend to drink like four drinks from like three to five thirty, then go home and go to bed. Yeah. Again, the bedtime routine and stuff will interfere with that, but still. I do matles. Matles will be busing this weekend. Yeah, because the weather first great weather day of the year. Yeah, it mats. Yeah, it will be. I'm going to order a tiny little saucer to put my sauce on.

Yeah. Wow, dude. Dave, you, sir. Yeah, no ball. It's true. Hey, you knock it over one time and get on your boys' white pants. You learn who's my pants. Yeah. Who's the Omar's?

I'm more worried about the sneakers. They might have had some light jeans. Oh, that's payback for all the business he drank. He. Yeah. Yeah. How about that? OK. Yeah, sure. Sure. The one visit you and your little parties. Like you'll part. You guys have had more parties here than I have.

Yeah, because we fucking party. Oh, I love, I love putting the lack of Vizzi in this place on Omar. We should bring them back as a sponsor. If Omar, Omar, he never dropped the bag. I still think Vizzi is the best. If any listeners out there want us to just, you know, if you want to sponsor an episode,

like we can just do like, hey, today's episode is sponsored by Backer. We had a legit offer one time. He wanted to buy the studio name. He'd be like, yeah, the Brad Studio. Let's do it. That's kind of hilarious. It's kind of hilarious.

Send us your offers for studio naming rights. Dumb Zone would go do a show at your house for like $690 under Patreon Tour. That's awesome. On Patreon tier. That sounds great. That's awesome. 690, yeah, they would just go to your home and do a podcast.

And they actually did them? Oh, many of them, yeah. That's awesome. Yeah, what's that boy doing this weekend? Is that me? Yeah. And I haven't had a, what's it called, Hard Seltzer? Was it Vizzi, technically?. And I haven't

Once a year I will drink high noon's. Oh, high noon's different. And it's only in Michigan during the summer. That's not seltzer though, right? No, it's vodka soda. No, I drank enough of those in Louisville at the game for... Drank like nine. We were deleting them. It's really flawed.

It's almost good that I wasn't at that game. I don't think I would have been able to last. I think I would have died. We were at home. Sneaky is so much fun. I know. I've actually decided that I'm gonna get field passes for every college football game I go to from now on.

You should. Yeah. It's pretty cool. Driving to the airport and calling you guys, telling you that I didn't know what I should do is one of the tougher mornings. You would not have been in a good way at that football game. Honestly, y'all would have been pretty annoyed

with me showing up to Berman and beyond in the state that I was in. You wouldn't have wanted to be around me. And if I had to shake anyone's hand for work purposes, they would have been disgusted by me. Oh yeah. I would have had snot streaks on my fucking sleeve like I'm a toddler

What are you doing this weekend? Uh, yeah, man, I got um Got a makeup for with uh, the little man his uh, the last weekend last week was just so Couldn't go outside I feel bad and i've got to do some outdoor activity with uh with the boys Um, so we'll do that really no plans that's a great way to get back outdoor activity with the with the boys. Um so, we'll do that. Really no plans outside of that that I'm if I'm missing

something, I need to get it. I want to go. I want to go hit wedges. I want to go chip put and just hit some pitch shots. I really want to work on that part of my game. That's what I need to be doing, Dave. You don't need to putt. You're a

dog on the green. I do putt well but uh shout out to my dad who called me the other day. He had a round of golf out at Southern Oaks in Burleson where he said he had zero three putts. That's swag. Damn. He's very excited. That's impressive. I had zero three putts on a round in Vegas and I felt invincible. I was just like, I'm the God. It's a great feeling.

But I would like to get out during the late afternoon evening hours and just go old school and have some booze drinks I would like to do that or let's do it man also let's not talk about it let's just fucking do it man I wanted shit I'm do this spring for like an old school brunch oh like a from 11 to like new 1230 time where just going hard. We talking bottoms memos. I haven't had one of those in a while. You want like a second location brunch, like brunch goes well enough that it's like,

let's get drunk somewhere. And then you're asleep by five o'clock. Yeah, like in theory, like the kids are with a sitter or mother-in-law. Yeah, I've done, I did that once in 2024. And we like, we had each had like three or four drinks at brunch and then suddenly we were back at our place just getting wild and it was like, oh no. I've done that forever.

I'm flying into the sun right now. That was pretty much every other weekend the first few years in Austin. Yeah, every weekend. Dude a June's brunch. Just go eat that chicken sandwich. Let's go to Irene's. They have a got avocado toast. Just kidding.

They're out of business. Oh, yeah. Was it the Ivy wall? I don't know. It's a recent out of business though, man. It's tough. It's fucking tough. That's tough.

Yeah. We'll see. We'll get out there. How about you? You know, my weekend's kind of up in the air right now. My wife is supposed to go to a group dinner on Friday evening. This group dinner seems to be falling apart, which means that now she simply just has a reservation for a group.

That being said, I don't know if I want to go to an expensive restaurant this weekend. That doesn't really sound like something I want to do right now. Okay. After anniversary weekend last week, like my restaurant budget's done. But sending her out with the girls is just going to put me at home. So I got to figure out a strategy for this. What am I going to do? I don't really know, to be honest.

Saturday my wife is working call, which means that I will be on dad duty Saturday evening all night. It's always a fun night. And I'm not being sarcastic there. It's usually pretty fun. Boys act a little bit better around bedtime when there's not two people they can try to distract. Well, that is true.

It's just easier. And so I'll be doing that. And then outside of that, I don't really have any plans. It's almost like they recognize that you're kind of going through it by having to do this. And they're like, the older one, they'll be like, all right, yeah, you're... Well, when one parent says no,

they can just go to the other one and hope that they say yes. When there's only one person there and they say no, it seems to have a little more weight. Yeah, yeah, there's something to that. So yeah, I don't know. It's kind of an open weekend. I'm trying to... I'm just hoping Manchester United wins on Sunday. Hoping I don't have to spend two hours and walk out of my bedroom and tell my wife, oh, they lost. They lost or they suck again. Could this be a defining relegation moment?

I don't know. They play today. If they lose Is this uh, could this be a defining relegation moment? I don't know they play today If they lose today, then we might actually be like thinking thinking about it thinking about it But I don't think it's actually gonna happen. We'll see michelle trackenberg died pierce oh who Who's that? child star American actress she was an everything dude. She was a

Pete and pete man. She was an everything dude. She was a Pete and Pete ma'am. She was a Buffy the vampire slayer. Damn Harriet the spy. Oh Fuck yeah, dude. Oh, that's a big one big child actor, dude.
