Alright, we're back. Circling Back Podcast. Cold one in Austin, Texas. my name is Will DeFries to my left D man David Roth it's a cold one man I could use a cold beer right now you know what's happening while we're in here doing this here pod as I slowly make my way out of that character it's. It's probably about 29 degrees at this point, maybe 30. Blue skies, car, facing north. That car's just heating up. I had to park on the street due to construction. I'm gonna walk to it, be shivering me timbers. I'm gonna get in that car and it's gonna be nice and warm for

me. No, it's not. Why? It's just not. It's too cold outside. Uh huh. Yes, it is. Uh huh. No, that's like a 48 to 52 degree day. It's 30. It's 39 degrees outside. It's going to touch 50s today actually. But right now, if you went to your car, it ain't ain't going to be warm in there, brother. No, no, it's not. It's not. We're going to do a 90 minute pod. I'm going to make this thing go long. So, when I do get out there. Okay. Look, it's going to be warmer than it should be.

I had the issue this morning where one of my windshield wipers was frozen to the same the windshield. And then when I tried to get it off it, I ripped it. Okay, be mature for two seconds. When I tried to, you know, detach it, it just split up. When I tried to Speaking of getting his own the man who you're not allowed to get let him get in his own what well You you you're just yourself. Just talking to myself right now. Don't shivery. It's not show over. We call that a dusting Slits not only above a dusting slightly slightly above a dust if you're over having dust You're here. I feel like it depended where you were like I saw some

I saw some photos from people that had a lot and then we had like mid range did accumulate a little bit. We were at least three quarters of an inch. Okay. H town got straight dumped on. You see New Orleans. Yeah, dude. You love snow in New Orleans, don't you? You knew it was going to happen and I've never done cocaine in New Orleans. Believe it or not. It's probably good. That's the first real snow. You like my tweet ever seen in New Orleans. A lot of not. It's probably good. That's the first real snow ever seen in New

Orleans. A lot of fake stuff allegedly. Yeah, that's true. Be careful. Man, my friend. Don't buy drugs in New Orleans. My friend bought the fake stuff on Bourbon Street one time. Then we saw the, I may have told this story. We saw the guy

who sold it to him the next night and he he saw us and he just took off running. It was kind of funny. They set him up like a bowling pin. I wasn't going to chase a fake drug dealer through the streets of New Orleans. No, that guy's got nothing to lose. That would have been a bad move. No.

So did you see my tweet last night from Circling Back? Yes, I did. I saw it late. I snapped on that. It's a good tweet. You have no idea how long it took me to make this in Instagram stories by doing like, I had to write the sentences and then I had to like account for Bart's head. Oh I thought you used a meme. Yeah is that not a template that you can just type in? I found the template but I was on my

phone and so I was in stories writing in Comic Sans trying to figure out how to do it. It took me like 20 minutes and I was like what am I doing? I'm just making Was it was the juice worth the squeeze on that one for you? I think it was. It's now at four retweets and 200 likes, about 14k views. So, you know, we're, we're in a good spot. All right. What's up with that girl trying to rip an apple and act like we haven't done that for years? What is, what's her problem? Did she even rip it? She ripped it in half. Yeah. I'll I'll give her credit for it but we've been doing that for

a long time thanks to our good friend Sage Northcott. It's good Dave. Yeah, we were ripping apples years ago. She didn't even hashtag it Super Sage. Like what are you doing? He didn't see it. I don't like that she was trying to act like

she like had a strategy for it because as someone with relatively zero arm strength, like I ripped an apple in half fairly easily. You know, grip strength is an indicator of overall body health and mental strength as you get older. How's your grippy? I don't tell tales out of school.

I felt like an absolute man on a flight recently. Do you grip something? Sally asked me to open her water bottle for her. She was sitting behind me. And then the lady in front of me, she didn't realize that, I think she thought I was just a rando. And she asked me if I could open her water bottle

seconds later. And I was just like, oh, I'm that guy right now. We have a walkout. Yeah, Randy's pro protesting for an ad read. Randy's protesting the episode today. He just walked out. Of all the men on that plane within reaching distance, she chose you.

Okay, to explain the reason Sally was behind me and the reason this woman was in front of me is because we were on the window side of our flight home from Italy and we upgraded ourselves to the business class like lay down seats. And so I think she was just flying solo and I was the closest dude to her. You got to be upset if you stand up and you need someone to open your water bottle and you look down and you see my little ass arm standing there.

It's like, Oh, can he do it? Probably had sleeves on though, didn't you? Couldn't tell. I was shirtless. Couldn't see your beautiful tiny arms. I was shirtless. Oh, wow. Dude, I had to open somebody's beer bottle on a plane recently with my flip-flop. It has a bottle opener on it.

Reef flip-flop? Yeah. They had a bottle on a plane? Yeah. It was special flight. Sandals on a plane. It was private jet. Also, that's cool. If you're at a tailgate and you need to open a beer

and someone hands you a lighter, how confident are you going in? I can do it. Okay. Yeah. I can do the like, if there's like a brick, a fireplace, concrete, you know, edge. You gotta be careful though, dude.

You use your finger as a lever. Yeah. Yeah. Once you see it Once once you see it, once you do it once, I feel like it's one of those things that you can do it for the rest of your life. Yeah, it's just that first time getting it. You ever open one with your wedding band? No, most of the most of the time I don't wear mine. It's rare that I haven't on to this. No, I that that

seems like it would be harder. It hurts. I used to wear one famously, it hurts. but you can do it. Don't you still wear it out to the bar sometimes to make girls want you more? Yeah, ladies like it. They like a cheating husband. That's why I tell Sally, I'm like. No, man, it's like a prize for them.

I guess, I don't know. Then you have to break it to them, like, by the way, total prop. Sorry, I don't know if that makes me a scum. We're both scumbags. Yeah, we're both scum. We're both shitty here. Look, you can't get mad because we're both shitty. It cancels out. Isn't this the premise of Just Go With It? Starring Adam Sandler. Yes. Brooklyn Decker and Jennifer Aniston. It absolutely is. So he has to convince her that he

was actually married. It's a very watchable movie. It's good. Brooklyn Decker looks pretty good. Used to convince her that he was actually married. It's a very watchable movie. It's good. Brooklyn Decker looks pretty good. Used to see her around Westlake Way time to time. So does Jen Aniston. They're different kinds of hot. Yeah. And that's okay. It is okay. She kind of fell off. She's not in the public arena much anymore. Jane Aliston? No, Brooklyn. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. She married A-Rod.

Roddick, Roddick retired. So she's not getting that paparazzi stuff from the crowd anymore. Time to share my one Roddick tidbit. I saw him at Taco Deli in Westlake once and he is so much bigger than I expected. And I don't know what else I thought a tennis player of his caliber would look like but he's a he's kind of a unit. That was a cool Wes that was a cool taco deli because you could see Westlake high school players that were going to go pro one day you could see you could see a bird pooping in your tacos. Yeah he used to open up a small business. He used to anchor his boat, excuse me, one of the party coves on Lake Austin and he had a golden

retriever and he would take a tennis ball and a racket and he would hit it around the the cove and his dog would go swim and retrieve it and bring it back. That's such a chill sit. Like okay. You may as well wear your like jersey. Yeah we get it man. Or whatever polo. George W Bush used to play fetch with his dog like that it's not the worst method of playing fetch yeah but if you are uh Andy Roddick it's like you're kind of making it about you you know i'm sorry yeah i feel like you're jealous that Andy Roddick was a professional tennis player and has a dope ass golden retriever and a house on lake austin and is married to brooklyn decker yeah it's like... I feel like you're projecting right now.

I'm looking at her Instagram, she's still got it. James Harden wears his James Harden jersey out to the pool. Right. Who is it? I mean, now, wasn't it Metta World Peace who just went out in his full uniform after winning the NBA championship? Was it?

It sounds like him or Rodman move, very similar. Oh yeah, I mean, but yeah, they're cut from the same cloth like like didn't shower Yeah, just straight-up wore his like Shorts and Jersey out to the club I'll always remember a former Ranger grade and Red Sox grade. Unfortunately, Mike Napoli just After the Sox won the World Series with him and he was just trolling around Boston shirtless like by himself and like wasn't doing it as like part of like a look. Well, I guess it is kind of look at me, but also like he was just by himself.

I think just popping into bars. People like, why is Napoli here by himself? Like just won the world series. It's going to be funny when Jason Kelsey or sorry, Travis Kelsey is rolled around after winning the super bowl. Just get hammered again. He's too brand safe now. Pfizer won't let him do it. the the the the

the the the the the Everyone have a good snow day now. Sorry about Patreon guys. Talking to the audience right now. I was looking for a part in the way I was snowed in. I was one of those snow days where like in the morning, like, yeah,

driving would have been stupid and then around, you know, lunchtime it was like, so I'm just kind of sitting at home right now doing nothing. Yeah, I got out. It's really nice out. I got out in the afternoon a little bit. Yeah, drink some beers. Not a big deal. I didn't go out and get a nice out. I got out in the afternoon a little bit. Yeah. Drink some beers. Not a big deal. I didn't go out to drink

beers. I got out to take my son to his mother's and then I came back and I had a couple beers. That's it wasn't that big of a deal. I saw the uh I had some beers. Backstory and I was like, no, we're not going in. Litigated this. I was like, I'm I'm I'm I'm like covered in snow. Dylan texted yesterday being like, hey, should we,

are we going to find a time or think we could possibly find a time to record today? And I was like, the last conversation I had with you guys in the office, we were trying to figure out if we were going to be coming in. I know, but it was just funny because Brett, Brett like at one point like snapped on Monday afternoon. We're coming in or not? Yeah. What's the deal? Are we coming in or not?

And it was like, Brett, dude, chill. You can do whatever you want. I feel like it wasn't settled. Like we were, the discussion was still open, I believe. I think the discussion was, I took it as like, oh, actually school had already been canceled. I was never coming in. Yeah, as soon as you guys said that,

like you're gonna have to take care of your kids. I was like, yeah, there's no reason. We're not coming in on Tuesday. No, Dylan was right, there's no reason. We're not coming in on Tuesday. No, there was, Dylan was right. There was no official, we're not coming in tomorrow. But I knew we weren't coming in. Yesterday made me gain a lot of respect for parents that stayed at home with their kids over COVID. It's a long day yesterday.

It's a long day. You're just, I mean, being trapped inside in the morning because it was so damn cold outside, like couldn't drive anywhere. It was like, oh man, uh, people did this for like months. I want to go crazy for what exactly flat in the curve. Exactly. Randy, I read that article you sent me. Yeah. Did you, which one? The one that was written in like a little sliced up magazine font. Ah, yeah. Different ones. No, I'm kidding. Like a Jean Benet.

Exactly. Like a Jean Benet. Have we talked about that? Are we talking about that? No, I don't really. I honestly, I feel like the family's gotten a lot of runway out of the murder of their daughter and I feel like they kind of just maybe need to stop making documentaries about it that they're involved with. I believe they died. Who? I

believe one or both of the parents are now dead. Really? One died of cancer and the other died of death. What? Died of death. He died of death. I don't know. That's a hard way to go. Let's know. I want to talk about that.

Oh yeah. Mom did die. Rest in peace. But yeah, you're right. There was a well, don't rest in peace if you actually killed her but like rest in peace. Father is still alive. Oh, is he? Yeah. Fuck. Yeah. I regret the air, but we're happy that he's still alive. Unless, unless he has something to do with the death of John Bennett. But that brings up a whole another argument. What's

worse, the release, sweet release of death or living with that allegedly if like such as has something to do with it. David, I'm pretty sure he will die one day. So, well, Brian Johnson, have you guys thought about what your last words are going to be? Nope. I'm thinking about just hitting everybody with a, I did it. And be like, what did he do? I'm him. Don't, please don't do that. I'm him. I ain't drinking anymore. And then I bring them in close. I bring the family in close and the priest. But I ain't drinking any less.

I like that you have a priest in the room. Last rites. Last rites, Catholic. Sick. I'm not Catholic. Can I still have a priest there just by then? Yeah. Yeah. Just for the just for the vibes? Yeah, you can pour me some wine. Sure. Whatever. Pour will something tall and strong. It's the blood of Christ.

I didn't even tie it to the fact that he was leaving town. Well, it's like today. I missed this conversation completely. It was just out of nowhere. It's like, are we coming in tomorrow or what? It was like the only time I've ever seen him like visibly like irked by something like that. I didn't even think about him leaving town. It's like today. Is that right? Yeah. It's like Brett. Like if you want

to come in like we're only talking about this for recording purposes. If you want to come in, like, we're only talking about this for recording purposes. If you want to come in by all means, come hang out in the office, but also, you don't need to be here because you're just typing along. He is in West Austin. I'm not going to dox him. But I would think he might have had some like fun hills over around his way. Probably if he wanted to hit them sleds. I remember the big storm, people were on 360 just skiing on that, like in 2021.

We didn't get that much snow. No, not that much snow. Unfortunately. Actually, no, it was a good amount. I mean, it was a fine amount, like not enough to really cause any problems, but enough for your kid to go out and be like, yeah, cool. There's snow. Yeah. What's part of 360 you talking about? Is there a hill I don't know about? I think and be like, yeah, cool. There's snow. Yeah. What's part of 360 talking about?

Is there a hill I don't know about? I think it was like on the actual street. Oh, you've never been out to Devil's Hill? My middle school, Mercassin, shout out Northwest Austin, has this massive hill. The Mercans. Have you seen it? I have.

And so every ice day, back in the day, everyone would just go there with cardboard boxes and like trash can lids and just fucking tear up that hill. So bad ass. All right, it's snowing outside. You got a massive hill in front of you. There's a little shack. It's got a bunch of sleds. What's your top sled that you're going for?

You're talking to some Texas guys. I don't know the difference. Word, yeah, this is not. Okay, Grady, what's your first off the board there? It's gotta be round. We're either going the inflatable round one or we're going saucer. That's one A, one B.

Congratulations, sir. You know ball. I know ball. That's the answer. An inflatable, like, inner tube situation would be awesome, I think. Correct. Yeah.

But like, yeah. But if you don't have the inflatable one, like just the saucer, just the circular saucer But like, yeah. And but if you don't have the inflatable one, like just the saucer, just the circular saucer is like, go, you can't just go like to your local hardware store in Austin, buy one of those. I don't know where you get them. You can't in you can't in that's why I said we the Midwest grab trash can lids literally. And that's what we we slid down on him for some reason. Hey, Arnold shit.

Every time I watch Christmas Vacation, and the sled scene pops up, I'm always, I always forget that that's in the movie. Cause it's just, it's kind of such a weird eighties, like a side part. Like it just doesn't really fit that. It's like, Oh fuck. He's, he's going crazy in the sled. I don't know. Is that what y'all are talking about?

Or is that just a trash can lid? I can't remember what Chevy chase. No, yeah. That's a saucer. That's a saucer side. Yeah, okay That's our way to trick it up middle one or you just take it. What about the ones with like the actual things on them? Those things don't really make a difference like like like a rail on the bottom No, like I in order to do a toboggan the right way

Like you gotta you gotta carry some speed and have a pretty big hill. I just don't Yeah, we used to we used to uh sled at a place called the gravel pit Sick And then wu tang came out with a song called Gravel pit and I was like man, it's just about the sledding spot in harvard springs. Probably a pop song Never watched that video No, pretty lit I was gonna say number two is the uh, the boogie board type ones that are very very smooth like

they're just pretty much like a foam board with like handles. That might have been after your time. I don't know. Foam board. I mean those seem like pretty new. I remember them like not always being around. I feel like those became very big when I was in middle school. Yeah, we weren't equipped down here. Damn dude, I'm sorry. snow days. We have an update on horny Zuck. What's the update? Well, as we saw during the inauguration the other day, Zuck was caught looking at Jeff Bezos' girlfriend's chest.

I don't I'm not trying to straight up accuse Zuck, but there's no other. I think it's possible he was looking behind her. No. Have you seen the video? Lauren Sanchez. Yeah. There's other views of it too.

His reaction, like he kind of laughs, like someone's showing him something funny. This is just a still. You think RFK has shown him a meme in the back? That's what it looks like. Like he has his phone out, and he's like, hey Zuck, look at this. Well then how do you explain the rest of the the ripple effect from

this, which was Zuck liking her Instagram that she posted. And then he posted a wife guy Instagram after just to absolve himself. He overthought it. I saw the screen grab of him liking it. I thought it was Photoshop. I assumed it was Photoshop because why would he do that? of him liking it. I thought it was Photoshop. I assumed it was Photoshop because why would he do that? I'm tracking the situation. I've officially followed Lauren Sanchez to see if if Zuck if Zuck got divorced, it would be on brand for him right now because he's going through all this like testosterone stuff and I could see him like wanting

to change his life up. What if he just took Bezos his wife? Would we have an all out war? A tech war. I think we're already in one of those David. Dylan was trying to take McKenzie. He was the emitter. a lot of talent at that inauguration. Stop. And lads too, not just frauds, not just the dames. Do you see people trying to accuse uh Eric Trump of doing the Illuminati? Yeah. I think that's a good

point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good

point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I'm not going to stop him. Stop. And lads too. Not just frauds. Not just the dames. Do you see people trying to accuse uh Eric Trump of doing the Illuminati? Oh, I saw a Taylor Swift, Katelyn Clark

Illuminati thing. Really? Yeah. I don't know. I like the idea of the Illuminati existing. Like, I think it's kind of funny to think about the idea of like global elites having this club that they're in that has like, I don't know, you can go down the wormhole yourself, but I don't think that they're just getting together and doing sacrifices of babies and stuff, it's alleged.

Yeah, that's probably not happening. Yeah, I just feel like, you know. Well, adrenochrome comes from somewhere. What's with the eating babies thing from a while back? Oh, it's still suggested to me on my Twitter timeline, which is great. Get in my belly. I don't know from a while back. Oh, it's still it's still suggested to me on my Twitter timeline which is great. I don't know why. I don't know why

people went there. Bastard. Hey, don't get in my belly. Well, it's like eating veal, dude. Yeah. I've never had a baby. It's all just facts. Christopher Reed. I just I just love beautiful babies. Shout out to uh Caitlin Clark. Happy birthday.

Also Guy Fieri. It's Fieti? Yeah, yeah. Actually. I know, but you know. You can't, no, no, no Dylan, no it's not. This is like the gift thing. If you're gonna say hard G, I'm gonna be on it. It's spelled with an R.

You can't say, pronounce Fieti. What's a proper noun? Fieti. Jiffy followed Sunday Scaries on Instagram shy ass them. You want me to DM them? They've already weighed in on it. I told I read that timeline remember? How could we forget? Yeah but they're naming a website. I want to know what they actually think like deep down. Okay fair enough. In Trump's America do you get to keep the name, like if you name something,

do you get to like, does that get to be what it's called or does like some podcaster get to tell you you're wrong? Didn't that guy die? The JIF guy? Yeah. No, the JIF guy died. But he's dead. I'm not sure.

If I invented something that was as widespread as JIFs are, and the general public tried to change the name of it, If I invented something that was as widespread as GIFs are, and the general public tried to change the name of it, I would be so annoyed. I'd be like, you guys need to get it through your heads. I created this. Did that guy get the bag? We're not going through this again. I created this.

Don't you do an episode every year on retail therapy with 2024 gift guy? Thank you. He thinks he did a thing. Wow. He thinks he's flexing. He thinks he's hanging from the rim right now. Well, he was mad at me

because I was talking when he was thinking of. No, I was putting together a segment and then Randy started talking about how he woke up with a dry mouth and how like, and I was just like, okay. I was saying I hate a winter. I got hella shocked by one of these cameras. And I thought I almost went into cardiac arrest and you just don't care

I've been crazy staticky lately Sally bought these like environmentally safe bounce sheets for our laundry and shocker Don't work, baby. Is that a pun they stink? Oh, yeah, that's good Like I don't your hella staticky right now bounce. Just give me a bounce sheet Like I know it's not great, but like come on I'm doing it for I did it for 37 years How does that even work Bounce sheets that crazy

Like who invented that like fuck we gotta put this in the dryer. It's gonna change the game I don't know I don't I got nothing for you there bud. That's great. Wow. That's great. Stop doing that. No, Dave. What? No, Dave. Dave is, I'm so glad that Dave is on my side and I'm so glad that Dave is quick with pointing out G pronunciations when we start talking about it. It makes me happy because I don't have it. I don't have that. He's not pointing them out. He's changing pronunciations. I'm like, that's what you do. No, I'm not. I am being, I'm trying to be as gentlemanly about this as possible. The thing is he, he just, he switches to whatever it is. Doesn't even, if it supports

his at all, it's great. I mean, straight. How do we think Billy Ray Cyrus pronounced it? What's going on? I don't know. And I don't know if I want to know that dude is going through it. I sent Randy the audio people probably, if you're somewhat online, you probably heard it just, you can bounce around. You have to play the whole thing, but he was doing some late night inauguration thing and a Liberty ball. He was in demon mode. This is real scary. He doesn't sound good.

So, he can't get his took the hat off. I'm I'm on but it ain't playing that. I guess it's dead. You know what, hell, just stab your fingers. That's okay, bud, that's okay. Here, just stab your fingers. He's being kind to this, this fella. Yeah. You can tell the world you never was my girl.

You can burn my clothes up when I'm gone. Come on, like this. Or you can tell your friend just what a fool I've been. And laugh a joke about me on the phone. Here you go. Or you can tell my old woman. Or you can tell my baby to hit the floor. I still remember the dance

Why we learned in grade school this song had a video? I don't even know what this song is. Thank you. Break your heart. Oh, this is a keep breaking heart, bro Your dad had to love this Sorry, this is just such a shit. It was hard. It was hard to figure out what he was singing I mean, he does sound not good It was hard to figure out what he was singing. I mean, he does sound not good. Oh, the person recording this video just farted. It's a high note though.

You did hit that. Ay-ay! And that's it. That's it, that's all you get. How much did he get? He got paid $10,000 for that. Not his best performance. My best.

No, he'd probably like that back. Um. But when when the music doesn't play for you and you can't get your guitar to work, he uh he had to improvise. I mean, it's like the they're they also couldn't get the audio going for Carrie

Underwood and she knocked it out of the park because she's a pro. She's Carrie Underwood. She's a top five country lyricist of all time. She's a great lyricist. Top five of all time, She's a great lyricist. Top five of all time, Dave. Top

five country voice for females. Alright. My ladies. I don't know ball there. That's that's that's probably accurate. I don't know. It's like what? Like off the off the rip off the top of my head. What? I got Shania. Dolly. Beyonce. I'm

going to throw Patsy Klein in there. Can I holler at Trisha Yearwood? Oh, we. Reba. Hey, I don't know if Reba. I don't know if Reba's getting a nod. She could be top ten but I don't know if we're going top five for Reba. I don't know.

That's probably he's probably right. Top five female country vocalist. I don't even remember who you're talking about. Who are we talking about underwood? Okay, I don't know. I couldn't tell you one underwood song She just take the wheel Before he cheats. Okay. I know but I know before he cheats you go to Nashville. You will hear before he cheats I know the Monday night football song. Oh Oh, Sunday night. No, Carrie's great. I don't know. She I don't know. Top five might have been, but she's good, man.

She's really good. Do you see the Paul brothers? Made the Yvonne sit in a broken chair and fall backwards. That's not nice. Yvonne didn't seem that thrilled with it. He had the same reaction that I feel like Dylan would have if somebody did that to him. Champagne. I don't think you'd see the humor in someone taking a screw out of your chair. No, I wouldn't find that very funny. Yeah. I don't think you would either. No, no, I wouldn't. I wouldn't either. I wouldn't either. You in particular in this room, I just

feel like you would, that would live with you for a while. It would. It'd be 10 years from now, you'd be like, dude, fuck those Paul brothers. Come on, man. They made me fall in my ass in front of everybody one time. It's like if Trey Kennedy came from now. I'd be like, dude, fuck those Paul brothers. Like, come on, man. They made me fall in my ass in front of everybody one time. It's like if Trey Kennedy came over and stole your plate of wings. He stole your appetizer. That still has a little bit of real estate in my head. Were those boneless wings or bone-in?

Yeah, I think they were bone-in. Bone-in at Topgolf? Yeah, that seems gross. That seems like a dirty hand situation. I didn't even think about that. I could be wrong. Very few dates have ended with bone in from Topgolf. Dude, Dave, can I issue a TGL take?

Yeah. I think this thing fucking sucks. I think they need to change it. There's gotta be some changes made. I just think, I think the idea is there, but I think the format of it is so terrible that like it just doesn't lend itself to long-term success. I think they need to redraft the teams with a different format in mind. And I am proposing a long drive contest, a closest to the pin, and then like, I don't know, something else. So that when you're drafting, you have to take that into account. And you have a bomber on your team,

you have just like a wedge guy, like I just I there's something something needs to change. Yeah, I also think because of the way it's filmed, and because it's like an intimate venue, instead of like an open golf course, I think with cameras in their faces, these guys feel like they have to put their personalities on display and not many of them have very dynamic personalities. So let's try and hit this camera. That's a big part of it is like, yeah, like the whole point of it is to let's just, let's

put our personalities out front. Let's get these guys out there. So people, the 18 to thirty-four crowd gets to know our guys. Problem is, not a lot of personality. Exactly. That's what I'm saying. Like, like, yeah, no, we don't need a more intimate Justin Thomas. Like, if you, if I'm going to watch the format that they're doing, I'd rather just watch that on a golf course. And so, like, if we're going to be hitting into a screen, then let's just do something different. Let's make it something that's not like they Justin

Thomas isn't a good candidate for this because I think Justin Thomas might be have a little bit more personality but these guys especially him are kind of guarded they don't want to say the wrong thing well so the shit talking is probably very governed you mean the guy who lost his uh, ralph lauren deal because he uh said a Slur, that's the guy to himself by the way But like you get patrick cantlay out there no one's expected much from that like he's like, yeah I mean, he's got he's got a big bag of nothing. I forgot last night was even on I flipped it over I want it was close. I will say my my ATL boys did take it home

That's obviously who I'm riding with. Nobody knows how you know, I'm an LA golf club guy. You're LA golf club Yeah, I did choose them before they won their first match. I Have another I have another edit. I'd like to make David. I Think each team should get a celebrity shot Yeah, it needs to be more pro wrestling they need to like the lights need to turn down flames need to shoot out and out walks Bryson or Todd. There's a guy named Todd. Maybe I mean **** it. Get Tony

Romo out there. Like just bring out someone random. Sure. Be like, alright, we're having fun now. The Rock. Get uh you know that one guy. Yeah, dude, for sure. I completely forgot. The one direction kid. Get Randy out there. There's new swing. Harry Styles.

Harry Styles. Yeah, he's a big golfer. He is. Apparently he played all over Austin when he was here. Steph Curry gets some like people that actually golf and have fun. He owns part of a team. The Bay boys, the Bay guys. I haven't watched. how's the crowd?

That's another problem. Corporate. Cause I think of like, when I ever see clips of like the darts competitions, the crowd is insane and it seems like so much fun. Like that's what they should be doing. No, this crowd is not liquored up enough. And also they're like all, they're all worried about like,

they look like 28 year old like financial analysts and stuff that like, if they get a little too crazy, like they may have to pay for it at work the next day. It's so lame. They all have logos on their shirts and it's either like a golf club that we're too poor to play or the company that they work for.

Peter, Peter, Peter, bar. Like yeah, they're rocking so five Patagonia vests **** like that. Everything is sponsored to like if like somebody like bends down to tie their shoe like this shoe tying is brought to you by Office Depot. Sick. It's the Office Depot Shoe Tie. Yeah.

circling real or fake how do we not have a theme song for real or fake at this point yeah it's embarrassing I know we haven't been doing like a ton of them but like I feel like it's enough of a staple that we should have like a dope ass theme song we should just sing one right now and record it. Well, sorry recording and we'll play it. real or fake English football clubs. That was just uh I'm

already go. Yeah, we we didn't need that. Include that one Randy. That's pretty good though. Uh I got a tweet recently from a user of Twitter or X. As some people say. We're not doing X. I got a Z from uh our loot. Shout out to Scott, Fags32. He said uh he sent a screenshot of uh the

English FA Cup. You guys familiar with the FA Cup? Uh, shh, no. It encompasses all the leagues in England and gives everyone a chance to win a trophy. And when you do this, you get a lot of really small clubs. Very weird names, very out there. Millwall, an infamous London club, beat Dagon Red 3-0. Dagon Red.

Dagon Red. Okay.. Dagon Red. Dagon Red. Okay. And he said to me, can we get a real or fake English league football team segment? And I said, you know what? We absolutely can. So I've gone through and I've put together my list,

turning down the brightness on my laptop because I'm worried about Dave. I didn't format this well in my notes app. And so this is an all timetime don't let Dave screen look even though he's not a noted screen looker. There's only one noted screen looker in this room. Oh. Me? He's talking about me? You screen look. Yeah, I think you're guilty as charged. You stand over Will Soder. You stand over Will Soder when he's doing shit. No, he doesn't. He called me out for doing it the other day to him and it was just.

Dan did that a whole episode to me. It's weird doing the show without a, just a massive lunk over Randy's shoulder. I like having a Viking in the studio when we record who doesn't know whether to squat or just stand up. Are you guys ready for real or fake English football clubs? Yeah. He had a day off work and decided just to go to someone else's work. He had to work somehow. Yeah. to get a little bit of wind up. Are you guys ready for real or fake English football clubs?

Yeah. He had a day off work and decided just to go to someone else's work. He went, he had to work somehow. Yeah. He's like, you know, I'm going to go do a different job. It's not mine. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to read the name of a

football club or is it and you guys are going to tell me whether or not they're real or fake. Okay. I'm excited. Okay. Our first of the day, Randy, please keep score on your sticky note. I'm excited. Okay, our first of the day, Randy, please keep score on your sticky note. I can't do DND Dylan and Dave. There we

go. Alright, I'm ready. Our first of the day, Corinthian Casuals. Corinthian Casuals. I'll go first. Let me go first. Sure. That's fake and that's some that's some retail therapy **** in and out list

**** There's no way. Uh I'm going to say real. Corinthian Casuals is a real football club. It's combined county. Isn't it? They're in the combined counties league. Uh premier division south. Not a big club. Give me a rough number of how many soccer clubs there are in the UK. A ton. Like more than 100? Yeah. Seriously? Because every every city or every like every city has like their club.

Or if you're a large city like London, you have a million clubs. And the way that they have it structured is that you can climb the divisions. And you can eventually, if you are successful enough, get to the Premier League. So Dagen Red theoretically could be part of the Premier League one day. Yeah. Okay.

But it would take an influx of cash or some crazy circumstance in order to do it quickly. That's why like Wrexham, who's owned by Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, like they got the influx of cash. They got the Aviator Gin sponsorship on their jerseys. They could buy players. And now they're sending the leagues faster than a lot of people do.

There's another team called like Salford, who's owned by a bunch of old Manchester United players. And like they're struggling, even though they kind of have the same thing going on. Okay, so would that be like you're saying like, Flugerville Round Rock and Georgetown would all have teams like Austin would have multiple teams and they could just go okay. I don't know if like you have to like, I don't know how it all

works on the lowest of levels there. But yeah, that's that's how it works. That would be so tight if levels there but yeah, that's that's how it works. That would be so tight if Gorgtown had a team. Gorgtown? The relegation system is dope. It's it's the best. It's I love it. I think I think more leagues need to adopt it. Are you guys ready for another one? Dylan one, David zero. Dorking wanderers. Dorking wanderers. Okay. I'll go first this time.

It's your T-box. I think that's a real team. dorking. That's where David played. You know, cause you're a dork. Whale penis. What? Oh yeah. That's're a dork. Whale penis. What? That's what a dork is.

Oh. Wasn't there an episode where we just looked up whale penises? I think so. I believe that is real. Dorking Wanderers is a real team. They're in the National League South, the sixth tier of English football. So how far down in the tiers do you have to go before our guy from Lowe Island Tom was on one of the teams? I think Tom was in like a fourth division. Okay, did you guys have a you know?

I guess these guys don't get paid well No, correct a lot of a lot of these clubs are quote-unquote semi-professional They probably have players that are also doing other trades it like it like playing like single A baseball somewhere for like 35k? Probably. Probably similar. Sorry, well, are there ever any guys from the US that play like college soccer and they're like, fuck it, I'm just going to go play in a six-tier league in England. Maybe. For like a couple years to do something different. That would be a good story. Somebody should write that. Well, they probably can't get paid to play over here. So, if they want to make a professional career out

of it or something, why not? We have nothing similar over here. It's just MLS and that's it. We have like minor league systems and all that over here. For soccer? Yeah. I don't know. You gotta really do it for the love of the game. You've gotta get over this. Oh, I hope the Bitten and Madness fans are paying attention right now. Are you guys ready for our next one? Brickham Blue Throats.

Brickham Blue Throats. That could be the name of a bird. Probably is the name of a bird. A lot of teams over there named after birds. Brickham Blue Throats that's fake that's a fake team I also believe this is fake it's fake break of blue throats it sounds like fre's liberal ass. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Then blue. Alright. Are you ready for our next one? Hey, happy beer. Rain is just firing

out from deep. What are you sipping on there, bud? This is some uh preview coffee. Okay, cool. Pre-brewed get it FC Dirthwick FC Dirthwick okay as I'd have just have no idea I'm just a coin flip that's the point of this entire segment I'll let I'll let Dave pick where's where you choose one thing that could be, I'm gonna pick. One thing that could not be. I'm gonna pick whatever Dave doesn't pick.

It's totally up to him. FC Dirthwick is fake. I'm going real. My reasoning is you were gonna mix an FC in there and then the wick thing, candle guy. And I'm a big dirfer and you love to durf. This is dirth and still still in

the ballpark. So, Dylan, you're going real since you're going real, Dave. Yup. Yup. FC Dirthwick is fake. Oh, all tied up. Are you ready too obscure. Okay. And so for that reason, I'm saying it's real. He'd been listening to the verve. I believe this is fake.

It is real. Oy! It was derived from an industrial product, so synthetic ammonia, as the club was originally formed by workers of the ICI. I don't know what the ICI is, but okay. Bullocks. Our next. originally formed by workers of the ICI. I don't know what the ICI is, but okay. Bullocks. Our next. Forest green rovers.

It's just a color. Forest green rovers. Or maybe there's a town named Forest and are the green rovers? I don't know if I have that. How are you pronouncing this team. It's forest green rovers. Forest green rovers.

The forest green rovers. I'm picturing the kids in my head and their fire. Yeah. They're good kids. Go ahead, Dave. I just want it to be real so bad. I'm going real. Real.

I thought y'all were going to go fake on this one because having a forest green Range Rover would be fucking sick. Yeah. And it seems like something I would come up with. It is somehow a very real team. Is the mascot the green Rover? Let me see. I'm gonna look him up. They're first right now in the National League. That's pretty impressive. It is somehow a very real team. Is the mascot the green rover? Let me see.

I'm gonna look him up. They're first right now in the national league. That's pretty impressive. I just want to see the kids. The kids are wild, Dave. They're not even forest green. No, they're making sense. How are you doing that?

Why are they fluorescent? They're not the fluorescent green rovers. To miss in my opinion. What are they doing? They'll never be more than a fifth tier team. Oh my god. What a terrible jersey. What a brick on the jersey. What are they doing? Our next. That's so

monster truck rally coated. Our next. Splatwick Rovers. Going back to back Rovers, huh? Splatwick? Mm hmm. It's Splotwick. There's a lot of rovers for some reason. I've never really understood it. Splotwick Rovers. They also name, like, I think I said earlier, they also name a lot of their teams after very weirdly named birds. Yeah. Is

Rover a bird? I don't know. I'm going fake. I'm I don't think you're going back to back over a bird. I Let's go. Um I didn't mean to do back to back rovers. That's on me. Dylan sussed me out, mom. What's that score looking like? They're looking like Dylan has five and Davey has three. I didn't even read it right. I didn't have it. I didn't have rovers on my my fake list. It was it was Splatwick Athletic. He's pulling away. Uh Gool AFC. that's a good point. Cool. Cool. AFC. Cool. Spell cool. Goal. Sure. It's not jewel.

Jewel. Yeah, that's a good point, Randy. You just don't know. the name of the place. Real. Gou Fc. That's real. Our name's going to be Julia. That's fake. It is real. Oh god. It's in the Northern County's East League Premier Division and you want to hear

the name of the place they play at is the graveyard, the Victoria Pleasure Grounds. Oh, I love that. Biggles Wade United. Biggles Way Biggles Wade Way United Biggles Wade United. This is Zuck's team. It's a minor callback. I don't know.

Does Zuck make all of his players wear chains outside of the jerseys? You just be part of the jersey design. He walks out with them awkwardly for some reason. You're like, why? He doesn't know where to where to put his hands. I just, you didn't have to do this. Oh, that's real.

That's a real team. The Biggles Wade. What is it? United? United. United. B-U. Biggles Wade is fake.

Biggles Wade plays in the Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division. Boo. What's the score, Randy? It is currently seven to three. Our next, Dutchi of Barwick FC. Dutchi of Barwick FC. Dutchi of Barwick FC.

It's fake, Will had it on his Wilmons playlist, heard it past the Dutchi. He heard it past the dutchie I'm gonna go real because I want to Pull even farther away from Dave. I just chose against Dave who's winning Dylan Dylan. Well Dylan Dave just got closer It's fake. Ooh, and I hammered so seven of four you didn't hammer. I hammered I didn't accept the hammer. Yeah Our next Real or fake English football club and we're getting down to the down to the wire here How many points are they have separated by three? Yeah, three. I hammer. Okay, I

You mean Livers Edge FC of the Northern Premier League Division One East. It's a bloody game. They've gained three points the last two questions on me. That's

what it's one point game. Wow. Seven to six. Spitlick United. Spitlick. Come on. Spitlick on it. Dylan, while researching this, I think there's just a town in England called Cock. Can you handle that? Do they have a team? I the go ahead. Oh, okay. My box. All right. I will go with your box for spit like they spit like it's more of like a spit lick. I think it's real.

although my work is for nothing, we don't have to hammer. I'm hammering regardless. Don't accept it. Don't accept it. If I don't accept it, I just went automatically. You can also go down in history as a coward. I'll accept it. Yeah, that's

right. You can lose or tie our final.rington Stanley Akrington Stanley Akrington Stanley Akrington Stanley I'll let you choose who goes first here Dave you want me to go first because if you if you go first I can just say whatever you say I'm guaranteed to dub. Yeah but then the hammer. I'm just kidding. I don't we've never really done. I'll go first. Go first then. It's fake. Akrington Stanley

for purposes of the game is real. However, I feel like Will basically flipped around someone's name from English soccer lore that I don't. Ackrington. Yes. Ackrington Stanley is an actual team and they're actually in a pretty high division league to a bloody tie league to tie. I mean, it's a tie, but like, it's not really, you did a hammer twice. Yeah. I got, I got two more correct than you, but, oh, okay.

It's a tie. Do you want to hear some other ones that are real? What did I didn't use? You really choked that away. There's a a team in the It's me in the league south central division called just Bad Shot Leah. It's not even a good enough name to like make you think that it's like real or fake. Like Bad Shot Leah. Bad Shot is one word and then Leah. Hold on a second. I got a slack here from Dylan. BackshotLea.mov.

I got that too. She does fine work. I'm not gonna watch this. Why didn't you send it to us both at the same time? What the hell? I also had, I said Akrington Stanley. We also had Thackley. And then there's ones that's just Milton Keynes Don's.

That's fucking sick. The Don's, dude. The Don's is sick. Milton Keynes Don's. I wanna see what the Dyrd fans in like a tier five team are like. So Tottenham played a game recently where it was the FA Cup. So they went, they did their away game at a very, very small club. And I'm not kidding when I say that I think I played in a high school game that had more people at the game.

I think not every game, but I think I played in one high school game where I'm almost positive we had more people there. That's a tough scene. But it wasn't because it was empty. It's just the stadium had like four rows of people. It was only like four or five rows. And then they had standing room only behind it. So they probably did have more, but it just,

from optics alone, it was like, dude, what's going on here? Well, that was fun. That also made me kind of want to get into, like get a club. Like a lower level club and just not like ride hard for him. Like like tier two. I implore anyone who wants to get into English soccer and maybe would like to go see their team one day. I really implore you to just choose a London team. It's just a lot easier to make that work. Okay, no one's going to Manchester.

Well, that was fun, Will. Thank you. Yeah. I'm gonna ride with the Don's. Milton Keynes? Yeah, dude. Hell yeah, dude. You can do that. I'm also gonna ride with Shopify. I'm riding with Shopify.

Interesting that you're the one that brings this up. Well, I'm bringing it up because before we were recording today, we started talking about a certain group text we're in and Dylan exposed himself in the group text for having almost

zero people's numbers. I can't believe you haven't left this group text. It's, it's a, it's an eight person group. Well, nine, including me. And I have four numbers saved of the eight other people. And two of them are sitting right here. So like, I can't believe you lasted this long. The group text is called Lutz. If I'm not mistaken.

Yeah. Well, it's just short for absolutes. Like I love imagining a scenario where this group text is called Lutes, if I'm not mistaken. It is. Yeah, which is short for absolutes. Like I love imagining a scenario where this group text, this group text has been texting a decent amount. I'm enjoying it. Like I'm enjoying it. It's a very... Who are these fucking...

I have all the numbers. Pro University of Texas crowd. Yes. I like the idea that we're like gonna go have, like we're all gonna have a group text beer somewhere. And then Dylan goes to the bar and has no fucking clue who any of these guys are even though he's been digitally communicating with them for a long time. There are three guys at the bar they're like Dylan I'm like me? Oh you guys you guys like

listeners or something? There's one dude I text with you every day that you would you would have no you have not heard this name. Do they all participate in the group? There's one of them just like... There's one that's lurks a little bit more but he's still he's somewhat active. Okay. I don't even know what like why do we text in this group so much? What are we doing in here? Is this the group that we've been exchanging beer chugs in? Yeah this one it seems to be the one that's really supporting our alcoholism. The Blaine Texas turnover or takeaway,

do a shot at tequila. But now it's just become us exchanging videos of people trying to split the G, which I don't know why this wasn't a thing before. How am I not in any group texts with my Lutes where I'm sending G splits every time I do it if I'm not doing it with a group of people? So who are these other people?

I don't know. I mean, they're in my phone. Do you have them all saved? Yeah. Guess who they are. I'm trying to name them everybody. Can you just name them different names in your phone? I know Josh is one of them. I don't know which one he is. He's our bookkeeper. He's our bookkeeper, Josh. Fairly important. To be fair, I think Josh might have two numbers because I think I have him saved in my phone. He's got a burner. He's got like a work phone and a personal phone maybe. I don't know. I don't know. I always text him on his purse I learned that one of them is named Garrett just now and apparently I've met this guy before I'm I I'm about

78% sure you played golf with Garrett. I don't know if he did cuz Dylan hasn't played golf for a while. This is like 2020 riot Ryan said that I the first time out at the Spanish but but I thought that was just you'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not trying to get me involved in friendship and I appreciate it. I just don't know who they are. So what's the mood? Like we got to get out and have some beers. Can you announce who you are and how I... I've done that. I've done that in a bachelor party group chat. Hey, I don't know most of you. Everyone announce yourself so I can save it in my phone. How many of these listen to this program? I believe all of them. Really? Okay. I believe so. Who else, who are the other two? Is there a Taylor in this group?

Oh, Taylor, Dave and I know our man Taylor for different reasons. T? Do I know T? He knows him because Dave played in a golf tournament with him. I know him because I went to the sphere with him. You played in the East Texas thing with him?

West Texas. West, brother. West Texas. Oh my God. Joe, you better check with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm

going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with

him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going

to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go the call. Did he fade you? Cool man. Dylan, you wrote a column the other day for washed.substack.com. Again, that is washed.substack.com for your Friday newsletter needs. Yes. Can you explain what saving silver meaning someone is? It might be confusing because the centric theme of the movie is these guys are trying to save their best friend from this evil woman

who he's trying to marry. Amanda Pete. Amanda Pete, who's just a, she's mean. In her days. Yeah, she looked great in the movie. Funny move, by the way, if you haven't seen Saving Silverman, I highly recommend it, she's a, she's mean. In her days. Yeah, she looked great in the movie. Funny move, by the way, if you haven't seen Saving Silverman, I highly recommend it. It's really funny.

Oh yeah, you convinced several backers to rewatch it over the weekend, and the reviews seem to be good. Such a funny movie. But another aspect of the movie is that Amanda Peet's character is trying to replace Silverman, who's the guy she's engaged to, replace his loser friends with like, upgrade his friends. She's trying to push them out and introduce new friends to his friend group.

So she hangs out with like a more sophisticated crowd, basically. And so I was like, oh, I guess I think Will's trying to do that to me and Dave, because he doesn't hang out with us anymore on the weekends at all. But he does hang out with other guys. But, but here's the thing. Here's the thing. Like I, I don't think I'm getting very many text messages asking to go to Kelly's Irish pub.

Well, you did go to Kelly's Irish pub last week without notifying us. That's why you got, that's why this, that's why the column was written in the first place. And you know, we love Kelly's Irish pub because we go there with you. We love it. You know, we love it. Yep Pub because we go there with you. We love it. You know we love it. Yet we didn't get a text. You went with some other guy.

I just had a beer. Sometimes gotta have a beer man. Sometimes gotta have a beer. Oh, you think I don't like to get a beer? Here's the thing. Did you read my column? I have a new column I'm doing for Washed. It's good.

Did you like it, Dave? I did. I thought specifically you would like it. I got so confused and I scrolled down. I was like, wait, what did I, I thought I screwed something up. And then now, Oh yeah, I did. I did read your column. Yeah. My column is called, uh, what I'm watching cooking and drinking this weekend. I got a cool graphic done. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I did. I did a custom graphic for it. Your garage looks like mine. Yeah, it's very similar But do you have the Grateful Dead insignia on the wall? No, no mine's covered by an old mattress. Okay, okay, okay

Yeah, Dylan. I wrote that I've been doing this thing lately that I've been referring to as saving silver meaning some of my loots I said I made some new friends that they think are replacement friends But that's only one side of the story By getting new friends, it means my old friends will realize how chill I was and start asking me to get beers more. So I'm flipping the script now. I'm only going to hang out with other people until you start showing some effort my way. You're trying to make them jealous. I'm trying to make you jealous, dude.

It's like when you go on a break and she starts putting on the uh Lauren Sanchez Mrs. Feature Mrs. Bezos outfits and you're like whoa it's called the break off. They those the loser friends show up to the the house and there's an engagement party going on and they look inside and see his other the new guys in there and she goes oh those are his new friends like it's such a it's a funny guy. I need to rewatch it. Comedy Central's not playing it as much as they used to. Neil Diamond.

Come on, yeah. Is he alive? Jack Black. You know what? Oh, if I'm in a celebrity death bracket, I'm maybe sending a text message to my group being like, hey, I want Billy Ray. Yeah, that's solid.

Say what you want about Jack Black. That's a good performance. Yeah. I enjoy Jack Black. I feel bad. I feel kind of bad for Jack Black. I feel like so many people have the ick from him lately that it's gonna be hard to come back from that. Why? What'd he do? Just I think his brand of humor is just kind of worn worn old on some people. Really good in school rock. That's a funny movie. Yeah. Never saw it. It is good. It's good. It's a feel-good movie. Never saw Shrek. I know he's not associated with it, but I never saw it. OK, deal with it, Randy.

No, I remedied the most. I think I determined that like the most famous comedy I'd never seen was Wayne's World, and I remedied that. Well, I'll tell you something about Jack Black. Kung Fu Panda is the best movie of all time. It's top five. But yeah, I Still have that. All time.

You know what? Kung Fu Panda not bad. Never seen it. That video's gotta be buried in the vault at this point. Oh, it's in the vault being my camera roll. Okay. Do you think circling back's doing its part to increase male friendship? We need to do it. We need to have an all-male meetup. It's gotten to a point where if I

want to hang out with y'all like I'm like I'm not even gonna. You're your biggest op isn't new friends. Your biggest op at this point is our sons. Right. Like if you guys are just never down to. But like I don't want to invite you. I don't want like if Dave if Dave and I are getting our kids together to like wear out like like this summer Dave would come over and we do the splash pad Let's say that like I don't want you to come over to have to babysit my kids While I'm like standing there with like just a absolute is there a beer in your hand. Oh

Yeah, I think Dave and I bear in each hand. Well, yes, yes who likes to have a beer in his hand You know what really sucks Dylan? You know what really sucks? That the Lions lost to the commanders because had they won, I was going to throw an absolute shit ripper for that game. The NFC Championship. I was so ready to send out the text and say let's do this. And Sally was gonna throw a shit ripper for the cotton bowl that didn't happen. Hold on a second. I had a derby party last year. I'm not gonna be shamed.

I'm not a big business guy. When is Q1 finished? Do you know March? Okay, end of March, because Will told me to make sure that you have at least two on retail therapy, so at least two people, times where you have people over per quarter. Two shit rippers per quarter.

Not shit rippers necessarily, but two reasons. Two reasons to have people over per quarter. I don't know if this is like a big, like a 20 to 30 person thing or if it's a 12 person thing. You have a great entertaining house. Yeah, I know. And that's why there was an article written in the Atlantic last week called Americans don't party enough or Americans need to party more. And it was all about how there's just a huge decline in people having their friends over. You got we got to be better. We got to be better.

How old do you do it? Why is this happening? Covers a society COVID, COVID smartphones. Lame anxiety. Well, just so you know, I would like to, you know, see you guys outside the office every once in a while. I know that I don't play golf anymore, but there are other opportunities. If you played golf, you'd see me all the time.

Well, 13 times a year. I'm playing more golf this year. Oh my God. Yeah, Dave, you got to be careful. You got a threat of your thing caught on the old set here. I thought that was a fratagonia But it's not dude my Patagonia jacket ripped the other day your Freddie. Mm-hmm. I'm sorry It's my nice one to my down one

Got down filling just spilling out of there. It's not good. She leaking right? I saw Dan at the gym after you did the show, you know, he was wearing like what was he wearing an Eagles Jersey over? A sweatshirt. Yeah over a hoodie. He was wearing like a, what was he wearing? An Eagles jersey over a sweatshirt. Yeah, over a hoodie. He was wearing the Eagle, he was working out with the exact same outfit. That's such a filly move. You're lying.

That's such a filly move. He was wearing the football jersey over the hoodie in the gym. That rules. Straight up, that rules. He's one of a kind. He's different. He is. You take the boy one of a kind. He's different. He is. He take the

Philadelphia eagles straw man so hard. eagles straw man so hard. Um, I'm a wide open guy. Looking forward to, um, yeah, other than tee ball, other than a little tee ball, nothing. Ooh, I don't think we got any, uh,

It's kind of like this whole thing. No, dude, he's changed. I had to distance. He's changed. Is he back? I'm not sure. Yeah, I don't know, man. I'm gonna watch some football.

And then that's, it's Saturday. What do you do? TV, my TV watching, land man's done, right? Ooh, I got agency Friday night. That'll be my Friday night. Other than that, I have started watching Vietnam in color. Oh, hell yeah, dude. It's fucking really good.

Weirdly voiced, a lot of the voiceovers are done by entourage people. So you got Vinny Chase, our friend. What's his name? Adrian? Grenier? Baby bro. Drenroy? The helicopters flew over the jungle. No, he's not in it.

Thank God. But you got E doing some, Turtle. Very strange. I'm sure that like their production company they've got or something is involved with it, but it's very well done. It's not a Ken Burns drawing? No, it's not.

I think the same people did World War II in color, but it's good. And that's the same people that did it II in color, but it's it's it's it's good. It's uh And that's the same people that didn't live in color, right? Very fair That's where JLo got her start Everyone hates her right now LinkedIn Kevin Costner Allegedly an Aspen doing my no one has been once linked and I've been Aspen He's been to tell you right guy taking bail. Maybe the same fucking shit. I've been to Aspen, doing my know-it-all-you-want-aspen once. I think I've been to Aspen. He's a tell-you-ride guy.

Big and Vail, maybe. It's same **** **** **** I've been to Aspen exactly one time. Nice area. Cool. Nice area. Well, yeah. So, they beat that. Tomorrow evening, I will be flying to Las Vegas, Nevada. He did beat that. Got some work to do. Uh Friday, Friday gonna be spending the day at the Fountain Blue Hotel Casino Resort. Got a full slate of things we're doing there before returning home on a Saturday morning quite early. Just gonna be taking a lot of photo and video out there. So doing that, hanging. Outside of that I

have, I mean I'm so focused on those couple days that like I don't really have anything planned the rest of the weekend we do arrive around lunchtime on Saturday which means I think I got to take my my boys talking about my my sons not my Lutz probably taking them out to dinner if I had to give a short list of places to go out for dinner and you want to hear it? Mattels? Mattels? Home-sliced pizza? I don't know. I want to take in McKelley's Irish Pub at some point because I've been told it's pretty chill to just like bring your kid in there.

Really? Yeah. But I just haven't done it. It's just not something I've done yet. But yeah, I'll be straight up honest with you. I don't think I'm going to watch one second of football on Sunday. Too soon. No, it's just it's just I I just don't care now. Like I cared

before. It's kind of fun watching or not, Karen. I know. But I don't want to watch the I'm one of those people that like if my team loses in the playoffs, to that to a team, I don't want to watch that team play again next week because that's like it's just something I just know I'm good. He's a loose cannon. I don't need to see the commanders. I get it. I don't need to see that dude that targeted golf out there. Oh, did he target him? Jared Joff? Jared Joff. You're not gonna note the fact that you just threw a dirty Kleenex and missed from about one and a half feet. It clanked hard.

I heard it clank. It clanked. It was sitting on a table right there. It clanked. It was an audible clank. There you go. I was gonna clean it up. I know.

It's not trash. I don't know how you kept it together. It was just such a, such a doink. It was such a brick, dude It's there's nothing more defeating than like playing a lightning with your boys and you let just clank one. I Don't know lightning lightning you guys call something else called a knockout knockout. Is that like nutball? Oh But knockout for sure we called it lightning and I don't think that was normal. Huh?

I don't think it was either. Considering I called it knockout. I set the daily high score for a pop a shot at Chuck E. Cheese last week. So I'm going to go up there and beat it. I played pop a shot at Cider Kade. They hadn't opened to the public yet. It was just for the birthday party.

So I beat a bunch of little kids. I am so bad at pop a shot. It's, it's. Was it a big one or a small one? Really embarrassing. To be honest though, the Cidercade definitely over inflates their balls. It's a dangerous thing that those balls will hit the rim and they'll go flying out. So don't feel too bad. I just stink. And also their machines vary how they keep score. It's really, really stupid. Some keep them by 10, some keep them by like 30. It's really weird.

So I don't feel too bad. Thanks for making me feel better, Ryan. I might just go to Chuck E. Cheese and eat some of their pizza. I'm gonna go up there just to take that high score down. No, it's already done. It's already done. Oh, it is?

Yeah, there's no way it stood up all day. Who's got it? Show yourself. You didn't put initials in. That's too bad. I'd always make mine D-I-K. It spells dick. Yeah. Didn't you say you do V-A-G? Vag? No, I don't do that. He's on it now. Alright. to a Joe T. Jarsee is the place stinks. I'm going to Fort Worth next weekend.

It's an atmosphere play. Funky town. I'm doing 24 hours in funky town. Definitely not a food play. And for everyone that want to know the the dry January still going and let me tell you, I fucking hate it. I had four beers yesterday. You look great.

It's it's it's it's not as good as I thought it was going to be. It's just not fun. And abandon. No drink. No. So I'm going to do it. Figure it was gonna be. It's just not fun. And abandon. No. Drink. No. So I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna figure it out. I don't have superpowers yet.

I thought at this point I was at least gonna be able to lift maybe not a full car, but like maybe like a motorcycle. You have had more energy in the office, whether you realize it or not. Yeah, and I have too much energy. Yeah, you don't know where to channel it. Dry January is so dumb,

because if you should do any dry month, a single guy like yourself. It should be February. No, no, you should do it in the summer when you do, you're going to get cut up a little bit from not drinking. So you go to the pool, look all shredded. Now you're it's fucking layering. So what's wrong with doing it in May?

You're going to ask me to go out in this sunshine and just not have a pina colada like that's, that's, I'm just saying if you want to reap the benefits of less alcohol, I'm going to go on a boat and I'm not going to have a couple of seltzer. You could be diced up under there. What's your plan for February 1st? alcohol. I'm just saying if you want to reap the benefits of less alcohol, I'm going to go on a boat and I'm not going to have a couple seltzer. You could be diced up under there. What's your plan for February

1st? Uh is uh well, it is going to be a Saturday. I know. So, I mean, do you want to hang out? Yeah. Oh, wow. Look at this guy. He wants to hang out. I want to see you get just torn up. I don't know. I have no plans as of right now but II will be

drinking February 1st. Have a drink, Hoss. That's sick. I'm going to I'm going to spike Randy's water. That's fine. I feel like I'm constantly on caffeine right now and I fucking hate it. So you don't even drink caffeine. Super, super ADHD. I got to pee. Let's get out of here. Bye. Bye.
