All right, we're back circling back podcast. Happy Monday to all who observe. My name's Will DeFries to my left. David Roth. Heavy hitters have assembled in this room altogether to do a podcast. Start this week off right. I've been hammering spreadsheets all day, Dylan. What does that look like exactly? You want to know? Yeah. Every time you do that, you crack so many., you crack too many knuckles player. It's crazy That's the point. You don't want to crack one. I don't crack like that. How often you cracking? probably 50 to 75 times a day. I do it maybe once a day. I give myself that one little outlet that one little treat

I do it so consciously. I'm just always cracking my **** Really? Yeah. How often you crack and stick? I don't I don't discuss that. Dylan Shivery. I'm powering through like like Dave's hammering spreadsheets. I'm hammering the the first season of Land Man. I'm about six episodes in, I think.

I don't know what you're doing. It is just the the worst slash most entertaining show similar to Yellowstone. It's entertaining, but it's like this is just really bad, lazy writing at the same time. And for that reason, I'm gonna keep watching. Because it's fun.

It's not a good voice to be in. I'm never gonna watch it. It's like, you pause it and you look at the person next to you, you're watching with you, like, what the fuck? I had to just laugh for a couple of minutes and you hit play again. I had plenty of time to watch it over the weekend.

I had it downloaded on my iPad. I was ready to go. And just by the fact that I didn't press play one single time, I didn't even entertain pressing play on it. It just shows that I'm just, I'm never going to do it. It is enjoyable. But it's like, it's, it's funny how bad the writing can be. I really think that you will benefit in the long term from not watching it. Well, yeah, I'm fine. Yeah, I've, I myself, and I did watch the entire season, numerous times, like looking up,

and it was like 9.45 when I was done, and I was like, I get like two hours after both kids are asleep to myself, and I spent half of it watching this. And most of the time was just me thinking like, this fucking sucks. Yeah, pretty much. You have to think about those things. Pretty much. But I can't even speak from that angle And most of the time was just me like thinking like this fucking sucks. Pretty much. You have to think about those things.

Pretty much. But I can't even speak from that angle because I watch much worse TV than that. You know, I'm watching reality TV like it's going on a style. At least there's some value maybe to understanding the human interpersonal relationships. I don't know. This is just like, there's a lot of propaganda thrown in and it's not subtle and that's fine, but it's just. No, but like every woman out there right now

is addicted to like smart novels. And I'm worried that Taylor Sheridan shows are just the smart novels for dudes. You're right. That's what it is. It's just, it's pornographic in a way where like, it's addicting. It is, but there's a lot of women

who watch Yellowstone and Lame Man. It's, I've learned. It's oil and it's ranches and it's gunfights and it's hot babes. And it's like, yeah, that shit's fun. That shit's fun. But it's gunfights and it's hot babes. And it's like, yeah, like this shit's fun. That shit's fun. But it's like, come on. Come on.

It's extremely attractive people in their late 20s, early 30s portraying high school students. Yeah. I just feel like Taylor Sheridan sits down, cracks his knuckles like Dave before he starts typing. He says like, okay, if my audience had the ideal midlife crisis, what, what could I write for them right now? And then he would just do that. Do you think he types like Dylan? I bet he does. I bet he does. I type efficiently

for being a poor typist. Taylor Sheridan has a team of writers. There's no way he's still writing these shows. You think you might be leveraging AI tools? I don't know. No one has time to write that much. He's leveraging Deep Seek to write Landman. I'm just gonna rewatch There Will Be Blood for the 10th time instead. You know what?

That's free on Prime. And Saturday night, I went by it and thought about it and then I was like, wait, it's really long. But I am due for a rewatch. I rewatched it last year and I'm really glad I did. Great movie. It's one of the goats. One of the goats.

By the way, I'm enjoying your it's Sunday morning. Posts. What do you mean mine? Well, you I saw you do it on Twitter. That's right. It was me. And then I assume that you're the one who did it on the washed Instagram on Sunday. Sunday morning. I'm on day five. No Twitter. Really? Yeah. You and Dan is connecting Dan like completely like deactivated his account. Whereas I just deleted the app for a few days just to get some mental clarity. But it's nice. Yeah, I was doom scrolling like crazy. You know, I got tired of seeing the Elon video.

The one which one? The one where he waves to the crowd. Yeah, where he waves to the crowd. Gives his heart to the crowd. There was just something icky to me for a few days of watching that video on the app that he owns. It was just becoming a lot. And so I decided to take the politics out of my life and now I'm just on Instagram. Let's interpret that video in the best possible light for him. Okay. You have to go into that moment knowing like, hey, even if this is not my intent, what I'm about to do is close enough to that one thing that I should just not do,

I shouldn't even, I should do something else. I should raise the roof. I should maybe hit the wall. I should hit the nae nae. There's a number of things I could have done that are not close to show that I was excited and happy for the crowd and for what's going on. You just have to know like once you get close to that, you should deviate with one of these. Yeah. Hard. Yeah, dude. Come on. Capture the capture the millennial hearts by doing the hand hearts, dude. How do you not do that? Damn, he could have done it on the heart.

That's not even the way there's lineals. The Gen Z's do like, yeah, they do it crazy. They do. Randy's throwing blood right now. This is what they do. No, I feel like careful. I feel like the sorority girls do the advanced one and then just like the the Gen Z boys who were just doing it to look

cool. This is a definitely a love Island thing. Yeah. That's the one that you do Dylan. Sometimes when I'm like trying to work and I look over and you've got like a really big peace sign up by your mouth. I'm I'm just chucking you the

deuce man. We talking about if he had dad then we're talking about this in a whole different life. Yeah, you gotta yeah, dab that out. Markets were moving positive. Dabbing is within his realm of like, you know, cringy, uncomfortable

stuff that he could do but like, oh, that's just Elon being Elon. Do you think he hit the you know, the salute and then like was like, oh **** why did I just do that? And then because he was thinking about it so hard, he turned around and did it again. Like, like, Why did I just do that? And then because he was thinking about it so hard, he turned around and did

it again. Like like II just don't it's it's just it was interesting. Can I say something? Yeah. I gotta respect the double down. Do you have to respect? I don't know if you have to respect it. He just said, you know, I'm gonna

run it back. What is he on? You just don't want to get captured on video. Just having your hand in that position in any scenario. We're doing Dylan's track out sometimes and you know, the posit doing the track ball hitting a long drive kind of have that. And you're just like, Oh, get it back. I've never had that thought I have. I think you call it. Somebody called me out for one. Maybe he's in the chat. I think you called, somebody called me out for once. Maybe it was in the chat. We did have to change a thumbnail

because intern Adam like got Brett doing it. And he was like, hey, can we change this? Cause it looks like a Nazi salute. Yeah. I think somebody put it on Reddit. I don't know. It's like that with the algorithms that might, that might kick you up a little bit.

Oh shit. What's this new podcast? This blonde hair blue eyed guy. Yeah, this blonde. With this really pale woman with the... Oh God, no, no. Oh, that'd be interesting. We got a fun show today, by the way. I'm pretty excited for it.

I guess. Hey, thanks, man. I got a segment coming up that I'm looking forward to. That's heavy hitters, man, Like I said, it's right. I'm here for a podcast. Damn right. Just generally worried about Davis Clark's career trajectory. Is it time to pivot? No, he's he's so he's so dedicated. He's just missing a lot of deadlines. You can't miss those daddy's failing tests. His Friday post where he's talking to Mike, he didn't say he missed one, but he said like he was up against a bunch competing deadlines. Was that kind of like a way of hoping like a boss or a hire would see that and be like, damn Mike, he's, yeah, he's missed a number

of these deadlines, but like this guy's got a ton of deadlines. I don't know, man. I don't follow him. I should, it's fine. Yeah, I might. He's a breath of fresh air. He heard my follow when he shit his pants. I was like, yeah, this guy's a real one. Hit the, do we have it coming? Oh yeah.

We are coming day after day. We are coming. He doesn't have that energy now though. Well, he's eating more potatoes. He's much be he's been much more subdued like man like been out here pounding spreadsheets thing when he get fucking fired eating uh potatoes sliced potatoes and foil before meetings to bring a different energy so what does that do to your body if you just eat a bunch of plain potatoes before like a meeting car energy from carbs okay spikes your insulin and you will

probably have a crash like very soon but like he'll at least have like a little bump there sure yeah okay he's got a limited time to bring that different energy to me. Okay. Yeah, okay. I'm pulling for him He seemed like a solid guy. Yeah. No, I want the best for him for sure Like I don't think he means bad by any means but I just do have hesitations about him putting his shortcomings on the the algo just because That might come up in an interview one day like hey you had, you had this period of time where you were missing a lot of deadlines. You might want to clean that up.

Yeah. He has a video, I was playing it earlier, but nobody, you couldn't really tell what it was, where it's just him, it's a POV, it's him at his home desk hammering spreadsheets, and it's just the sound of a mouse clicking. It's tight. I just don't get, like, I mean,

he captions his Instagram posts with the exact same thing that he reads. It's algorithm friendly though. I've never not completed a video that he's done, but they're also about 15 seconds long. You have to respect that as his boss though. It's like, Hey, if he wants to spend his lunch break taking this 15 second clip and posting it, you got to let him do it. I noticed he was back in the gym lifting weights.

He's say taking a few months off injury, maybe back spasms, probably focusing on other things, work deadlines, juggling a few spreadsheets. Speaking of deadlines, Randy, you got that game show prep for tomorrow? It is about 75 to 80% done. Do you know what a game show podcast will be beyond the paywall tomorrow patreon.com slash circling back podcast. This is going to be a can't miss episode. We've never had this format before where one Dave Ruff is behind the producer chair. He's never done. He has He has, but it's been a while.

Hey, Dylan, I got a little question for you. Is it about my weekend? What'd you do this

weekend? So, Friday night, I stepped out with my buddies Michael and Kevin. We went to a little place called Maddow Ranchos on Friday. The button bro. Maddow Ranchos, Maddow Ranchos, Maddow Ranchos, Maddow Ranchos. And had a great time at Maddow Ranchos. Remember that that couple who listened to the podcast that we met in New Orleans for on for Michael's bachelor party. They work out at lifetime. We see him all the time. Yes, they were there. I saw him spotted

them across the bar and they sent some shots over to me and the boys, Hillary and Chris, very nice of them took the shot and was pleasantly surprised to realize it was just water. They pulled one of those on me. But it was welcome because I didn't need a tequila shot. So a little fun fact about him. If you ever need turf in your backyard, he's the turf guy.

He's our turf guy? He is the turf guy. Okay, good to know. At some point I may take him or give him some business. Was that a nice relief when it was water? It was, yeah. Even the guys I was with, they're like, I'm so glad that was water.

And yeah, so was I. I went to Kelly's Irish pub after that. Oh, this is funny. We sat down next to this. You're out of town, dude. You're out of town and Dave did get attacked. So I'm totally in the clear here. We sat down next to this birthday situation. This guy had a birthday boy sticker on. There are probably 10 to 12 of them. And we sat, they had like outside, they have picnic tables. So we took one, they had like one and a half, and it was pretty crowded. We took, let us sit in the other half. It was pretty nice of them.

Then the waitress comes up and takes our order and just puts it on their tab. And then we have gotten, we may have gotten a couple of rounds on their tab and then left. Fucking way. It's such a shitty move. You didn't say anything. Dude, no, it was funny.

It was funny. I'm sorry. You guys are trash. They probably had no idea. They're like, who are those old men that we just bought drinks for? What uh, what age? They were mid to late 20s We doing birthday boy stickers now? Birthday boy

Why not? I don't know. But thank you for celebrating his birthday Thank you for the beers if you're listening, you're probably not. Must have been like a meaningful birthday, 21 or maybe 30 or 40. I don't know. You're messed up, dude. Yeah. It was kind of messed up on me, but it was- You need to Venmo someone for these beers. We thought, who would I Venmo?

Venmo me. We thought it was funny. It'll make you feel better. And it was kind of funny. They're not cheap, man. Did you get food or snacks? No, just a couple guineas, man. Guinnesses.

Guinea? Guinea. Only one of them was drinking Guinness and it was a young lady. So, they're probably, why did I didn't know you ordered? Whenever I walk in, whenever I walk into Kelly's and I see someone not drinking at Guinness, I'm like, you can go to any other bar right now. Just get out of here. Yeah, I'm trying to. I'm trying to glug some Genusi. Yeah. Okay. The rest of the weekend, I got the little guy back Saturday and the weather

was not not really great going out whether it did. I did hang out with sister and brother-in-law. My nieces, my dad, we'd set out for some brunch on Saturday morning, went to Butler Park. Where'd you eat brunch? Easy Tiger, South of Mar. Oh yeah. Pretty good food. What'd you order? A breakfast bowl. What? Okay. Who's brunch?

Get a breakfast bowl, it's a big deal. I need to be healthy. I had too many beers last night. I have to be healthier today. Who paid for that meal? I did. I ended up paying for the food that we got. Surprised you didn't teach your son

how to dine and dash that day. You're like the Better Call Saul of South Austin. You're scheming ass. Y'all would have done the same thing. No, I would have bought the birthday boy a drink. So quite the opposite. I should have gotten a drink and just put it on his tab without him knowing. Exactly. Hey, bud. Hey, dude. We're gonna get you guys around. That's a good move. Got Park's the board game clue for Christmas. We played clue a few times over the weekend. Dude, I recently went We're going to get you guys around. That's a good move. Got Parks the board game Clue for Christmas. We played Clue a few times over the weekend.

Dude, I recently went and saw a live performance. No, you you were there. No, you I was there too. So, I'm going to do like a full recap uh in this week's Watch Weekly. Clue is a good show. I forgot how fun that board game is. It's a good game.

Come on, man. If you're liking Clue, like what I got, how much do I need to say to get you on traders dog? I don't know the the tie in there You're trying to find who did it. Okay. I told you i'm gonna watch traders when i'm finished with landman. Okay as if Oh clue clueless that's good Alicia silverstone I like it

Yeah sunday just watched some football man weather was kind of bad Just kind of stayed inside a bit watch some football You watch some football. Yeah, man two games The two teams I wanted to win did not But that's okay, that's okay, right took the day I yield my time to you David I'm glad Brett's not here today. Honestly, he's honestly lucky. That's okay. Brett took the day. I yield my time to you, David. I'm glad Brett's not here today, honestly. He's honestly lucky he's not here. Because you know what? It's one of those things where I want to talk about it and he probably doesn't.

So it's for the best. He was going to get no sympathy from me. He just wore a hat. You couldn't even see it. He took a, no, he took, he took a shot at me. It's a camo. It's a camo floss, yeah. But the guy celebrated is dubs. Mm-mm. He's a dude celebrating dubs. Mm-mm. I would never do that to him. There's no way that after,

if the Lions had beaten the Bills that day, that I was gonna wear Lions gear in the office. You don't wear enough Lions gear. It's cause I'm respectful. Y'all were having a tough season for the Cowboys. I wasn't gonna sit around here. I'm bored with y'all. If, Dave, if you don't think that every Sunday this entire year,

I was sitting in my house wearing my Dua Lipa Detroit Lions shirt. You're crazy. I hope so. I hope that's true. I will choose to believe that. I didn't freak with the jersey as much this year. But they had a great season, so I'm wondering if the jersey was like maybe the bad part anyway, we don't need to talk about the Detroit Lions.

Hey, you guys might have noticed my absence from the Patreon last week and I'm here to address it. I don't know what I've got going on. I'm hoping it was just a bug. I don't know. We're investigating further, but I was the only way I could describe it, I think I told you this. Well, Wednesday night, I started feeling like I had swallowed a balloon, which is a very weird way to put it, but that's the first thing that came to mind. Very bloated and like, I was like, what the fuck's going on? Went to bed, had a horrible night's sleep, woke up every hour, just like, some bad things went down. No vom probably should have vomed but I was like I don't want to throw up I throw out very loudly I'll

wake up the house. Did you read about my no vomit streak? No, you didn't read the newsletter. Okay. Anyway, so I was like I can't I got up Thursday and I was like, maybe I can swing it and I was like, dude, I'm I will be I will have nothing on this show and plus if I'm contagious, I can't I got up Thursday and I was like, maybe I can swing it. And then I was like, dude, I am. I will be, I will have nothing on this show. And plus if I'm contagious, I don't want to do that. Will's about to go to Vegas and plus, uh, Dylan's got to go, uh, have somebody buy him drinks. So I was like, I'm going to stay home, sit this one out, let the heavy

hitters do what they do best. And they did, um, felt better by early afternoon. It was less than a 24 hour deal. Who knows what it was. I'll report back or maybe I won't. Um, Thursday evening, took it easy Friday. Friday had the itch to get out because I'd been inside all day Thursday. So I was like, okay, well, nobody was in the was in the office because most of the company was out of town

and just kind of like work from home deal. So I came up here, did a little snack run for the office, had been a while. Felt good, we got a good fridge. I'm not saying it's where it needs to be, but like the fridge is in a good place. There's some variety. We've got some cells.

We've got some cells. We've got some diet Coke which it's just nice to have an option there. We've got the the Zevia which is no caffeine but it is a soda flavor and then we got a couple of protein options that are decent. Just know that next time the the fridge needs to get replenished, I'm buying ice coffee and or cold brews. I'm tired of operating on a Celsius level. Damn. Do you, you don't think you operate with like a different energy when you're on Celsius?

I do operate with a different energy, but it's where my head is like spinning and my thoughts are racing. Okay. That's fair. It's too much. And the fact that it makes your pee neon is concerning to me. It's all the vitamins. Is it? I don't know.

It's something. We've never been an iced coffee company where we've kept that on hand. What if I did cold brew in lieu of iced coffee? I'd be fine with that. I can handle cold brew. Not to brag. Let's get cold brew on tap like they have next door.

No, those things are overpriced. If we had a cold brew, no, the reason we can't have cold brew on tap is because we would all overdo it. We're also the type of office where if like the nitrous thing went out, like none of us would even do anything about it. And then suddenly we'd just be drinking flat cold brew for like three months until one of us was like, why don't we ever do this? And then we do it. We'd come back from lunch and Dylan's huffing the nitrous. Did that one time.

Fucking galaxy gas. What else? Yeah, so Friday feeling good. I went to Teddy's for a happy hour. You been to Teddy's yet? No. Not tube socks. Nope. Joke for five people. happy hour. You've been to Teddy's yet? No, not not tube socks. Nope. Joke for five people. Uh I checked out Teddy's. It is a cool spot. Good happy hour. Didn't try the

food. Uh I did something I normally don't do. I had a martini while the sun was out. Might be the first. Might be the first time I've ever done that. Damn. Yeah. Was everyone else doing it and you felt like you had to, or was it, is this a hankering? I just didn't want a beer. I didn't want to be here. I had one beer and it came out in a cowboy boot glass, which was fun cowboy boot mug. And then I was like, you know what?

I don't want to overdo it. I'm just coming off this tum tum thing. I went, I went teeny and it was good. Um, went home Friday night, hung out, didn't do anything. I went I went teeny and it was good Went home Friday night hung out didn't do anything watch the agency Seasons done cannot recommend the agency enough. That is a good show If you were looking for actual good show watch the agency. Well done Saturday Saturday, farted around until T-ball.

Alyssa left town. So I had both boys after that. You know, it went pretty well. It went pretty well. Got Rhodes to sleep. Looked for something to watch. Not much on. Decided to rewatch Braveheart. Oh, decided to re-watch Braveheart.

Oh wow. I've seen Braveheart probably 20 times, now 21. And I won't use this, I may write about this or I may just say it right now. I'll just say it right now. They need to redo Braveheart with somebody much younger than Mel Gibson was in that time because he does not, it finally occurred to me, like this movie is, he's like 38 in the movie, he looks much older than that, and he looks great, but he looks like a good looking 45 year old, and the character he's playing is clearly like a 20 year old, and it's very off putting. Braveheart though, has like a story in the way it's done,

the music, scenery, all that, still great, still great. What if they remake it, it'll just be like, CGI'd out and too much. Yeah. What's that, Randy Woke? You think they'll make Braveheart Woke? Yeah, probably. They might.

I mean, if I'm Scottish, I'm mad that Mel Gibson was playing in the first place, cause he's just not. Scottish. Yeah. I mean, he might have some heritage. I haven't seen his 23 in me. Have you seen his 23 in me? No, he didn't share that publicly. He's Aussie, Australian, but NAR. NAR. NAR. Yesterday, I just watched ball, did some steaks. I had

sweet potato. Not my choice. I've been on that baked potato grind Sweet potatoes are great. They're pretty good. It's interesting. I had one last night I mean I had a baked potato last night, but there was a little catch to it Was actually baked twice what? Who's doing that? Did you have a meeting? Heavy hitters needed to know. That sounds pretty good. Y'all don't know I'm Savage. Tell us about Vegas, bitch. Had to go out to Vegas. Got in Thursday night. The reason I went to Vegas is because Scaries has had a deal with

Fountain Blue for a little bit. So go out there, shoot some content for them, come home. It's a great deal. And so I got out there Thursday night, had a steak dinner. Didn't go too crazy. Just had a little dinner with the Salgal and then I woke up bright and early on Friday morning. I'll skip the boring stuff. We did get to do kind of a hilarious photo opportunity where they wanted to do a home alone style shoot in the back of a Rolls Royce with a pizza.

So I was just sitting in the front of the hotel in a Rolls Royce with a full on pizza, just taking photos in it and just vibing out. I'd never been in a Rolls Royce before. I got breaking news, they're nice. They're sick. Extremely're nice. They're sick. Extremely nice car. They're sick, yeah.

So that was kind of funny. And then the real highlight was that because we were being escorted around by one of the workers there, she was kind enough to bring us to like a members only area of the hotel that I didn't even know existed. And I've never felt more like I was in a Bond movie than I did in that moment. Like it was the Brett asked me how it was he had he had toured it when they were building

it. So I think he knew about it. And I was like, it's the it's the closest you'll ever feel to being in a Bond movie. It's just the sexiest bar. It's at like the top of the hotel. You can just see everything in Vegas from it. And it was just like, yeah, they should just film a Bond movie here. There's not like tables. There's tables. Oh, there are tables. There's tables. There's a big bar in the center. You can't take photos or anything in there. Even if you try to look up the photos of the place, like I couldn't find any online. But they have this other room. That's the only room in the resort that is not a room that people stay in. It's the only room or public place

that they don't have cameras in and it's meant for like private parties and stuff. And it's just all red velvet. And it was like the nicest, coolest room I've ever been in. Best sound system I've ever heard. I was lucky that they said I could take photos in there, but I have to get them approved by someone at the hotel in order to like post them

anywhere. So who knows if I'll ever get to even use them. But I took some cool photos of it. Who's gonna enforce that? I'm not gonna have them be like, no we're done with you because you posted these photos. Get his head in a vice. Yeah. And so we were leaving that room. We went and had dinner in the same area and then when we were leaving dinner, we were approaching the elevator. And I heard someone say like, Johnny, Johnny, come here. Look over like, who's Johnny? And I hear this voice and it took me 0.2 seconds to go. That's Johnny Bananas of the challenge. Y'all know how much I like the challenge. I mean, I'm still watching it today. Shout out season 40 I

Absolutely love it and he's like one of the out of outside of CT He's like the guy to meet from the challenge turns out CT was in Vegas at that time Without hesitation. I just knew like it's very rare to see someone famous in person and just know that you're gonna go talk to them No matter what and so like without even hesitating. I just walked up to him and just went, Johnny bananas. What are you doing here? He was like, he turned around, had the biggest smile on his face was like the nicest guy in the world. I started quizzing.

I knew I had limited time with him because we were getting in an elevator and we were going to talk in the elevator and then get out of the elevator. So I just started quizzing him on season 40 and what happened. They did this thing called the karma vote, where at the end of the season, your position in the final could get adjusted by the karma vote. So if you got bad karma, you could go down a few points and not make any money. And I quizzed him about that because it was kind of bullshit to me.

And he said it was a jealousy vote. They just didn't want to see him win again. Damn, he's won a lot. He was the nicest. He was the nicest guy, like couldn't have been nicer the entire interaction genuinely was like interested in talking, being funny, dap me up, gave me a hug as he left. I was just like, okay, I was well, he is filming a show. He said, I don't know, he's

got an Instagram account called like bananas travels or something. But he said he was filming a show called Bananas Republic, which is about him traveling around and doing stuff. He did have a camera crew. Unfortunately, I could not hang out with him further as he was headed to a Pitbull concert. Sick. Oh, that's tough. Yeah. Yep. I was a little bummed to miss the Pitbull concert, but that's okay. Imagine seeing Pitbull, Bananas. Would have been electric, dude. Oh my God. Would have been electric. He, in the photo, looks, I'm not a sponsor but that's okay. Imagine seeing pitbull bananas. Would have been electric, dude. Oh my god.

Would have been electric. He uh in the photo looks I don't know how old he is but he looked great. Yeah, he looked good. He look good. Is he younger than us? No. No. I need to know how old he is now. He's 42. So, he's only Dylan. **** It old as fuck. That's an old

fucker. It's an old motherfucker, dude. Sheesh. Yeah, it didn't do much else. Yeah, the rest of the weekend kind of just hung out the boys and chilled out. It wasn't exactly an inspiring weekend to go out and do stuff. No, not really. Yeah. Yeah, the rainy day yesterday, I tried to avoid some football yesterday. I didn't watch any of the early game. Ended up watching a significant portion of Bill's game. Sorry Brett

Dylan, what happened to you the other night when you didn't text me? Well, again, I didn't text you because you're in Vegas and I knew that you weren't gonna join us at Maddow Ranchos

And then Kelly's, you know, you don't know that I was I could have asked fountain blue to get a private chopper to take me Back to Kelly's for the night. Anyway Roll up to Maddow Ranchos about 545. We got we don't run the early train. We didn't wait too long We got about a 30 minute wait time. No big deal So we go to the inside bar Again, it's me my buddy Michael my buddy Kevin As we're at the bar ordering our drinks, yes, well it's got a question, please remind me to tell you guys When you're done with my current

Experience at the host stand at Matt's. Okay. Okay. Did Michael wear his shirt in the car? Oh that's a good question. I don't know. It's a bit cold so he probably had something on but this is he's asking this is the same guy who will hang his shirt up in the back seat of his car, drive shirtless to his function, and then put his shirt on there, thus not wrinkling it. Seat belts wrinkle a lot of things. Yeah. I think it's a savvy move.

Same guy. I got off the plane the other day and had this seat belt across my sweater, and when I got off the plane, I was like, oh my God, like now I have to go change. It's tough, it is. Anyway, we're at the bar, ordering, I got a

house frozen, no big deal. There was this group of college kids at the bar as well. Seven to 10 deep, I want to say. And they were hammer drunk. I've never in my life seen anyone get cut off at Matzoh Rancho. I probably especially when he wasn't with us a day before the sun even goes. I don't think they cut me off. I think I think that was implied. Yeah, it was. Yeah, but this guy he's ordering a knockout martini and the bartender is like, we can't serve you guys anymore. We can tell you're very drunk. And they sat there and argued with the bartender for a couple of minutes and then asked to get the manager

involved. The manager comes over. He's like, I gotta back my my my server here. Sorry you guys. You don't even bother arguing. It's you're cut off. Who do they bring over when they get a manager at Matt? Is it is it gold? Oh, there's a guy. Is it gold ring guy? Cuz if that guy comes over. No, no, no. That guy will slap the **** out of you. There's a guy. Just a just a guy. I don't know. Yeah, I know, there's a guy. There's a guy.

There's a guy. He's always walking around shaking hands. I've never seen him with a tray in his hand in his entire life, but he seems to have control over the dining room. So it wasn't just one person in the group who was cut off, they cut off the entire group. And when that happened, we were like, you know,

paying attention and we started like listening in and we looked at the group and they were all just absolutely gone. They had a, there was a girl with them that was standing up with her eyes closed. Like she was passing out standing up. They were very, very drunk. So-

Sun's still out? Yeah, sun's still up and they got cut off at Matt's. So we're standing there kind of talking about the situation. And then this guy and this girl walk over to strike up a conversation with us. They're chatting us up and they were like, yeah, we're doing this drinking game. Like, we're all from Austin, you know, we've been here our whole lives. Like, where are you guys from? Or like, you know, we're we're older than you and we're also from Austin.

So don't try to play the like. We've been here longer card. It was. The kid was from Westlake and for those who don't know Westlake is kind of the upscale area of Austin and kids who go to Westlake are. Pretty identifiable if you know I mean,

like the stereotypical like just rich white kid they they were UT students from Westlake. So hadn't left the city obviously anyway he said we're playing a drinking game it's an Austin only drinking game and it's I think he said it's called the deadly triangle this triangle is definitely part of it he said deadly or something else like that deadly triangle drinking game so of course like oh please tell us what this the deadly triangle drinking game is so they do three stops in Austin like that, Deadly Triangle Drinking Game. So of course we're like, oh, please tell us what the Deadly Triangle Drinking Game is.

So they do three stops in Austin, two drinks at each stop. Okay. The first stop is Texas Chili Parlor. Okay, I'm already in. They have a drink there called the Magnum, and it is a tall rum and Coke with a squeeze of lime, a big squeeze of lime, it says on the menu here. Sounds delightful. Yeah, it's like a Cuba Libre, right? I bought one of those before I came in today.

We need to talk about that after the episode, I think. It might be a problem. I think so too. I'd love to do a Julius Peppers right now. So they did. Julius Peppers would hit. So they were on, they're on the third stop, okay? So first stop is Texas chili parlor and that is a it's near campus It's a little chili restaurant and they have people go there for like long necks in chili It's that kind of place. I've been every time I've been it's been either pre or post Texas game Yeah, it's it's it's close. I guess I close to campus. It's a it's a UT student Haunt if you will. So that's the first stop.

They had two magnums. Second stop. Magnums. Was baby A's. Okay. There's one left in Austin. I was gonna say, that's. The one on Barton Springs is now closed.

The only one that's open is in Gateway, which is Northwest Austin. So they hit two Earples? They went from, they went Texas Chili Parlor to Baby A's, which is, they're not close to each other. No. Not at all. They're Ubering on their parents credit card. I know. I'm just thinking about navigating Austin at that time of day on Friday and it's like, yeah, how much time did y'all spend? I know. So they had, by the way, baby A's,

the drink there is called the, it's a famous purple Rita is what it's called. And they're very, they're infamous around Austin because they are extremely strong and they have a limit of two per customer. Have y'all had one? Yeah. It's been 15 years.

I've only had one in my life because I was told I needed to try it. So they're made with tequila and Everclear. That is why they are so dangerous. In the menu, it says, we could tell you what goes into our world famous purple Rita, but the actual ingredients are as much of a mystery to us as the Bermuda Triangle, limit two.

I can't put down the cup. They're so good. So they had two magnums, which is a tall rum and Coke. They had two purple Ritas. Third stop, Matzo Rancho. Oh, so they couldn't complete the trifecta? They had, you're supposed to drink two knockout martinis.

That's too much. We've talked about these plenty. You guys know about the knockout martinis. That's too much. We've talked about these plenty. You guys know about the knockout martini. It's a great drink. It's a $20 drink at Matt's Arancho because it's big. And if you have two of them, you're very drunk. Like you are. I mean, one of them is like,

is perfect to like ride on into the night. Two of them, then you're gonna get pretty drunk. And so yeah, they weren't able to complete the triangle. They're probably gonna try to run back at some point, but this game should not exist. I'll just say what every backer's thinking right now. When are we collectively doing this? No.

Dude, that's bed wet and drunk. This is, yeah. Fine, we'll rent a Airbnb for the night and we'll put our rubber sheets on it Don't we have a new rubber sheet sponsor? Yeah, we'll put the rubber sheets on it. We'll be fine Yeah, um, it was just funny talking to this this really really cocky arrogant vocal fry slake slash ut kid Vocal fry or no, I didn't pick up on much vocal fry. Okay, um The buddy who was ordering at the bar who got cut off and that we first noticed he had this killer like Bama bang comb over a frat swoop thing. Really funny. How many college of these guys were I didn't notice the caller situation. So now he was he was dressed as you would imagine. So what was next for them? Well, I don't know. I don't know. I think they I don't know if they ate it mats or not. They lingered because they had full. They all had full knockouts doing? I don't know. I don't know. I think they, I don't know if they ate at Matt's or not. They lingered because they had full, they all had full knockouts.

So I don't know at what point they got cut off because they had, they were all walking around drinking still. So one knockout you're going to feel the next day at our age. Two knockouts, you will be hung over the next day. I had I went there I went to Matt's two weeks ago no I guess a week and a half ago completely sober. I had a frozen margarita while waiting for our table and then I sat down at dinner and I had a Matt's knockout martini. I felt like I got run over by a truck the next day. I think there are about about four shots of tequila in a knockout. It was so much like I just I've never felt like that after two drinks there, but I felt absolutely rocked.

Milagro Reposado Tequila is what they use in that drink. They were so drunk and it was so funny. It was funny watching them get shut down. This is absolutely something I would have done in college. Yeah. This is great. They gotta pick places that are closer to I think we should do it I think we should do a washed media raffle and I think not raffle. I

Don't know what you'd call it. The names escaping me. I think we should put our names in a Lottery style machine and the first two people that get taken out have to go do it and the other three people transport them Okay at their age and they're probably 21 years old they couldn't handle it. We are not in our prime drinking years. This would absolutely take us out. Did you get a sense for how long like what their time frame was? No. Start to finish because like I'm trying to think like you start at lunch. Let's say you start you know the first place and then like you start at lunch. Let's say you start, you know, the first place and then you eat, you eat a big meal and you go to baby A's, you know, munch on some chips and salsa and then

you close it down a mats. I think even if I like spread that out to like five or six hours, I think I'm still cooked. 100%. Last time I did a bar crawl, the lights went out. So I haven't done what says there's a reason they don't do bar crawls after 40. No. Yeah. I wasn't even close to being 40. I mean, I was in done one since. There's a reason they don't do bar crawls after 40. No. Yeah, I wasn't even close to being 40. I mean, I was in my 20s. That's a young man's game.

My buddy was moving, and we decided to do every bar in Harbor Springs, and the last thing I remember was being at the final bar, and my buddy being like, I'm really craving a Manhattan right now. Just looking at it. Suddenly I just was done. Looking at this girl who was standing up with her eyes closed trying to order a knockout martini,

it was just hilarious to me. Yeah, it's a beautiful thing. With the sun still up to be young really you should try this and report back I is that why I should do February 1st yeah February 1 baby a month without drinking and then do the the deadly triangle often challenges test your mental acuity the next day I think I could do it if I span it over the whole day. I think that that's starting at like lunchtime. Yeah, but like if they started, like they said lunch,

like noon and you said it was an early like, this is five, we got there 545. Yeah, I have just hours. That's a lot in six hours. I have unjustified confidence because the only time I had the purple Rita, I was like, well, that doesn't, this doesn't feel that strong to me. I think that's why it's kind of dangerous.

They only limit you to two, because it's like, yeah. We were just going and having like some apps and having a drink and my buddy was like, oh yeah, you just moved here. Have the purple one. It's a famous thing that they do. And I got done with it and I was like,

oh, that's a purple margarita. Someone put, obviously they don't publish the've had Everclear since like senior year of high school. You can't drink Everclear. I don't think I've had Everclear since like senior year of high school. You can't drink Everclear. I don't think I've had Everclear since like senior year of high school. I don't think I've had Everclear since like senior year of high school. I don't think I've had Everclear since like senior year of high school. I don't think I've had Everclear since like senior year of high school. I don't think I've had Everclear since like senior year of high school.

I don't think I've had Everclear since like senior year of high school. I don't think I've had Everclear since like senior year of high school. I don't think I've had Everclear since like senior year of high school. I don't think I've had Everclear since like senior year of high school. I don't think I've had Everclear since like senior year of high school. I don't think I've had Everclear again knowingly. There's no reason to drink Everclear ever. I don't think I've had Everclear since like senior year of high school. You can't buy Everclear in Michigan, it's illegal. And had some friends drive up to Michigan

for New Year's Eve when we were 18. And they brought a bunch of Everclear and we made punch with it. We rented a condo at a local ski area to just throw a party at for the night. Condo had white carpeting and you know when you give a bunch of Everclear to a bunch of 18 year olds who aren't used to drinking Everclear and then you mix it with red dye, you can imagine what the rug looks like the next

day. I supported it being outlawed in more states than just Michigan. It was a bloody crime scene. Yeah. People were just crawling around at the end of the night. Anyway. I'd be interested in trying this. I'm listening. If I started at 11 and got to Matt's at eight, I think that's, you know, nine hours, that's doable.

Do it on a Friday. So give yourself a couple of days for Monday. You know, we don't want you coming in on Monday with gravel voice. Do content though. I mean, if you guys, if you guys drive me around, yeah, because the distance seems something I don't like. It's an uber situation. I think Dylan should drive you around. I think that should be part of it. I'll drive you around. If you have an Austin-centric fantasy league, just making someone do this this would be fun I think we're too old to try this. I think it's a Not too old. I'll do it with you Randy. What if you cut it in half? Ready clear your schedule one of each day. Yeah one of each

That's still a lot You guys are to two knockouts is a lot a purple Rita Okay, a tall rum drink followed by a purple Rita with Everclear and tequila. I think the hardest part of it is finishing that second margarita. Yeah the last the ending on those two is really difficult. I think it's harder than the Everclear margaritas for sure. What's the most amount of beers in one day you've had. I finished a 30 pack of Bush Light. Probably 20 something. Probably 2010.

Of course Shitty did 50 drinks, Biff get out, we've talked about that. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. My buddy and I just sat around all day and we got to the point where we were like, wait, we each have like six left, should we just try to finish these? And we were like, yeah, let's stay up late

and finish these. And we were happy we did. Our numbers were up. I think I happy we did. On numbers as well. I think I did like 15 or 16 Keystone lights. That's nothing to be down on yourself about, Dave. I think I've done north at 20, but. You've probably done them. Like light beer, I mean, doing light beers,

you have to also take that into account. Yeah. I had two 30 racks of Keystone ice, ice not just light ice and I did that over a course of a weekend. Keystone ice is very strong. Is that five five? But I said a five point five stronger than that. But I said a five point five that would not good and get a cheap keg of it.

Oh my god. Lake Day Hollow. I think like a like a nickel, nickel O'Boltra would be very drinkable. Now I'll look up on like a golf trip scramble situation. I've had like eight and be fine. Keystone Isis 5.9. Oh my God. Yeah, that was, that was a fun weekend. Uh, I'd be, I'd be interested in doing this. I've never been to those first two places, uh, Texas

chili parlor or a, what, Aves you said? ABAs. ABAs. Baby Acapocos. So even if I just didn't want it each one, I still like to go to those first two, but I'm interested. You have my interest.

I at least want the invite, Randy, and you can send me home whenever you want. All you have to say is, well, you're going home, and I'll call an Uber and I'll be- I got it from here, bud. That would be a funny bit. You get to tag somebody bud. That would be a funny bit. You get to tag

somebody in so you all of us have to be on call and you can say you gotta meet me at baby is now you gotta do this with me. I think we have to do this. Yeah, I'll do it. Okay. sounds fun. You need the hustle mindset Dave. Okay. So, yeah, just car bloat before it. Yeah. Some potatoes.

Yeah. How many potatoes can you eat before doing this? I'm going to bring a different energy to the alcoholism. The deadly triangle. A picture was making its round. The rounds on Twitter. Well, you probably didn't see it, but oh fuck. I didn't tell my story. I'll tell you a story. Go ahead. This is quick. So I had an interaction about a year ago with one of the guys that runs the seating at Matt's. And he looked at me and he goes, hey man. And I was like, I don't know who you are.

I didn't tell them that, but I was like, yeah, what's, he's like, have we met before? And I was like, I don't think so. But my name's Will, good to meet you. Now, every single time I go in there, he looks at me like, dude, good to see you. But I've never met this guy outside of Matt's in my entire life. He's too old to be a backer. I just don't I don't see a scenario where we actually

know each other. But he is accepted in his brain that he and I are boys at some part of our life. Does he like priority seating? No. So last week, we walk in and we put our name on the on the list to get a table. And he was oh yeah it's probably gonna be like an hour thirty but then he looked at me and he goes I think I can figure something out for you and I was like well we we're the first ones here we just said that our complete party's here we have a million like there's eight people that

we need to account for and I don't even know these eight people so like I don't know how we're gonna do this. He gets us in immediately and we don't have everyone there. And I was like, oh my God, I'm about to take my entire relationship with this guy. But like we ended up figuring it out, got some people, convince them to see us, whatever. But now I'm at this position where like, I think this guy's gonna hook me up from now on

in situations of need, but I feel guilty about it because. That is an ultimate Austin cheat code. I don't know my guy. Like I don't know him, I don't know him at all. And I have to just pretend. Ride with it. I need one of you to figure out his name because I can't ask at this point.

It's been too long. Man, we got the full intro from the gold rings guy. I think we was like, oh yes. No, I was sitting at a different table. And I'm like, damn, I really wish I, I don't know. I feel like he's not, he's not up at the host stand. Have you ever seen him approach my brother-in-law? No, he just goes up to my brother-in-law every time and like daps him up. Drew? Harry. Oh, it's Harry? I was going to say.

I mean, he's, he goes in more than anybody. Yeah, dude, he's a he. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, that's dope. So yeah, I need I need one of you guys to get his name so I can uh, I'll see what I can do. Let me know next time. Yeah. Have me put our name down if we have a big group sometime. It might work. That's awesome. Can't guarantee it. Anyway, Dave, I'm sorry, how's my mindset? A photo is making the rounds on Twitter. And people were laughing and like, what the hell is this? And one, you may remember the name if you're deep into Utah sports, Utah athletics, specifically BYU.

Jeremiah the Bull Evans, former quarterback at BYU. Known more commonly these days as an entrepreneur, the bull Evans, former quarterback at BYU, uh, known more commonly these days as an entrepreneur, uh, e-commerce motivational speaking, a real hustle mindset guy. Randy, if you could hit us with the, the alpha hustle, uh, event that he put together a few years back, the movie poster one. Yes. Here we go. Alpha con 2022.

This is hell. Yeah. He's the bull. Alpha Con 2022. This is him. Oh, yeah. He's the bull. Uh, he founded Alpha Influence, a company that promised to help individuals establish profitable Amazon stores through drop shipping. Okay. Um, and they've some people have done well. They were calling them the, the next Tony Robbins, um, flashy lifestyle guy.

You probably saw his videos and just didn't recognize him. Alphacon. Exactly. Oh my God. Well, came out, he just pled guilty to securities fraud and money laundering. Okay? Okay.

Not ideal. Defrauding investors, things of that nature, false pretenses about the returns from Amazon stores. When you take on investors, isn't it just like in your brain to not like, yeah. Defraud them? Yeah. Like, I just feel like, like, yeah, there's some things you should, yeah. Once you get into that territory, you're probably in trouble. How the hell do you say this name?

This obsession with being alpha and then grifting off of that. What? Nick Santonestaso? You killed that. Well, just did it. I've been following him for years. Well, he's guided me through a lot of hardships. One of the news outlets was trying, struggling to find a photo of him that wasn't from this AlphaCon poster. And so the one they used was going around and people were really remarking

the fit that this guy got off because he had the shit on. Randy, if you could please toss it up there. Oh, that's what. Okay. I saw people photoshopping with his bottom half attaching it to other people. Yeah. What the fuck is that?

It's him in front of the lifted the lifted truck. What is he wearing? He that's this isn't his actual lower body. Is it real? Is that real? This is what I. the lift. I'm in front of the lifted the lifted truck. What is he wearing? He that's this isn't his actual lower body. Is it real? Is that real? This is what I okay. I don't this can't be real. Yeah. Zoom in Randy. Zoom

in. Dude, this is real. I don't think it is. Oh my god. Those are woman's boots. With the boots. Those woman's boots. Those are women's boots. Those are women's jeans. With the jeans. I could go either way, Randy. See, I might. You can't get into a truck like that with my concern is like, yeah, look at the pocket. Look at like the

left side, Randy. I'm I'm trying to figure out they should have shaded it more. So, you're saying this is Photoshopped? I, I, I, I, you guys would know better than anybody. I don't know. I can't confirm, but I can't deny that it's not Photoshop.

I hope it's not because this is an all time bad look for this guy if it's not like. So did the, did the news company use this photo as the photo for him? I think so. Somebody, somebody put this out there, like not realizing that it was just exceptionally hilarious. Can you imagine leaving the house like this?

There's, there's a, there's a contingent of fashion bros who are trying to bring back like skinny jeans, but no one's actually got the balls to go out and wear it, like buy them again. And do it. But then there's also a contingent of men who are so stuck in this one era of like, bro, he fashion that they're still wearing shit like this. And it's like, you got to just not Oh, my god, you got to just not. I saw a big content guy photoshopped this on a few different people. I didn't know

what it was. There was a Trump one. There was a Trump one. Yeah, I would love to see Micah Photoshopped onto this onto these legs. You're gonna have to expand the calves though. Yeah, I was gonna say there's no way Micah could fit into these. Maybe it is Photoshopped. I don't know.

I'm trying to figure like this does look a little fake. That's the biggest red flag area. Randy, if you can zoom in on his other knee. The other things that are like shaking me a little bit is like the lines going down his other leg on the darker leg doesn't look great on the outside. I don't know. It's not a flawless photo.

Can you imagine hopping into that truck rocking that? It's not a flawless photo. Can you imagine hopping into that truck rocking that? Your heel from your your boot slips on the the gas pedal. Yeah, it can't be easy driving. Oh my god. You're not skirting in those. So we got it we got another alpha grifter, huh? Would you? Yeah. Trying to organize a group of other alphas and make money off of it. Yeah. If you went down for securities fraud, would you want, would you publicize your mugshot? Would I publicize it myself? Yeah, like would you tweet it? You got access to a phone?

I don't believe so, no. Would you do Trump face for it? Yeah. Dude, I would see if I could get ahold of a, like a spray bottle and a comb and I'm going straight slick back in mine. Yeah. I'm just like, people were liking your flow at the golf course.

So embarrassing. On my birthday. I got a haircut today. Stop dude grow it out. It doesn't just grow it out. Thank you. I, you know, I, I don't know how to take a compliment. Anytime someone says something nice about my hair, I have to like, there's a level of

skepticism that they're going to have to just deal with because I'm like, okay, what do you mean? Well, luckily we're with our accountant and new character on the pod, Blaine, who just will say anything in any moment. And he was just immediately like, dude, Dave, you're growing your hair out. You got some nice flow going on right now you know what he kind of does he was gone off those Julius peppers you know a Julius pepper for anyone out there is a drink that our friend Blaine is made up that is simply

dr. pepper Malibu rum Malibu rum is called the Julius peppers because it kind of tastes like an orange Julius I bet it tastes decent I played around of golf with him where we had three and I have to say they were really good. They're really good. Phenomenal. I want to try one. Yeah, like I, I, I. It's Randy coated.

It's a great, it's a great golf course drink. They were going down real easy. Real easy. Yes. Our man is probably doing some time. I don't know what the outcome was, but yeah, it's stuff. Just got to hope this photo doesn't make the rounds. Well, at least he's got a FitBod.

Just the other day, we did a little segment talking about how some, I guess, seemingly AI country music artists have been filling your guys' feed. Yeah. It's Sunday or however you say it. It's Sunday morning. It's Sunday morning. Good morning. I'm waking up, gonna have some beers.

So I've gone the other way. And now my feed is almost exclusively post being suggested to me that are just straight up fantasy coded. I'm not talking ludicrous. What's what's what's your fantasy? I'm talking the fantasy world that Randy sometimes lives in God after hitting his pen late night. Mm hmm. Hell yeah. Honestly, I think Randy might just live in this world just in general. We're talking dabbling in gnomes.

We're talking elves and dwarves and knights and gnomes. Yeah. This has not hit my feet. I feel like you guys didn't like having the AI country music. Maybe you liked it for certain reasons, but for others you got a little sick of it. I secretly liked it. I have to say that I am absolutely loving my Instagram algorithm being this fantasy coded.

Brandy, can you throw up a couple examples for us? Of course, of course I can. Thank you. So for example, this says, you're looking for a place to grab a drink in the kingdom. Which bar will you go to? And then it just takes you through a bunch of AI generated photos in just chill ass fantasy scenarios. That's mine. Number three is me. No, you can't make that call before seeing all of them. That's how they get you. They know that I'm watching straight through because I don't know if number six is going to be an absolute

heater. Oh, there wasn't even a number two and three are my favorite. I'm going three. Um, Randy, just start volume shooting these on the screen, please. You've fallen in battle. Choose your resting place. Oh, yes. Like, where are you resting, dog? You go into the spooky cemetery, you go in the chill one with all the lush greenery. Two looks good.

Oh, what about that seaside one with the creepy sky? Where do you want to bleed out? Yeah, I need snow if I'm going to go with the side Wandering wizards. I mean, it's just bones. We could be drunk pirates. Okay, drunk pirates doesn't fit gaming goblins. I send that to james I said, oh are we five are we gay? Yeah, you guys are unfortunately gaming goblins. He did not like that There's something satisfying about the animation of these it like takes me back to like childhood reading like I don't know it's very, the kind of like art style is very like 80s fantasy is what they're kind of going through there.

It's always retro fantasy, even this guy. This was the first one I ever saw. It says, if you really know him, which castle would he pick? And I sent it to Sally and I said, how well do you know me? Ooh, number. You guys want to guess which castle she picked? Wait till you get to number three. It's dope.

Look at that. That's too accessible. Number three just looks like a drug cartel compound. Yeah. Yeah, that's why it looks dope. Yeah, I'm definitely going number one. That one's easier to defend. Give me the first one.

I'm going number one. Bro, I'm going two. Sally crushed it. She knew how it's going to. I'm going two. Mountain's those nice trees and stuff, come on. But yeah, so this has been a thing that's been, I would say has been the past year,

like these AI things, especially like the dark fantasy, like here, I'll even play this. Ready, which one we smoke to? Where's your smoking spot on this one? Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Which one are you and bro smoking at? Randy and I talked this one out in the DMs for a while. Yeah. Do you want to give our do you want to give our official takes? Yeah. So if you're watching at home and we could we could post these later. So I said one and I think five you're gonna the night vibes are nice, but that's a

that's a head high. You gotta go indica for that one. And number two, I don't like one one's gonna freak me out too much to what was all about to I'm like, that's the TV. You gotta do sativa. Yeah, we're smoking that sativa at number two. And then number four. No, number five, I think was the one where we agreed that you got to absolutely mash that sativa or that indica button, dude, just a late night chat with your boy Just high off some indica just some some hobbit leaf, man, dude

We're talking about some folklore in places. You can't even fathom Did you even know and so so this has been going on for about like a year, especially like once AI stuff like really started to Become big like when mid-journey started becoming like more mainstream, these things started going on. Like they're big on TikTok, but I think they've become so big now recently is because they found the right like way to do it. It used to just be, oh, here's like some cool pictures. Now they're specifically saying like, what are you and bro doing? Or like, if you know him, choose the thing. And it's, it's all about sending it to other people and they have done such a good job of like curating things. And like this,

they also did this stuff where your birth month is associated to like your profession. Or I also want to be a hated tax collector. So you're a hated tax collector, a local alchemist, February alchemist, March gallantchemist, March, Gallant night. I was, uh, I was April at court just arms. All right. It's, it's, it's accurate. It's facts. It's accurate.

Keep going. May's traveling minstrel June powerful King. Shout out to all the June boys. What's Dave going to be July outhouse cleaner? Oh, tough on DMA because I'm a shit. August sea captain. We're coming up to you. Come, that stinks. Tough on D-Man. All right, cause I'm a shit. August sea captain. We're coming up to you, Dylan. That's the best one.

Come on, Dylan. Come on. Old beggar in September. Come on. Rangers? You're not a ranger of the kingdom. That's perfect. You're not emptying the-

Yeah, that's perfect for me. The quill. You can't empty the quill on him. Yeah. No, you're not built like that. That's sick. So they've just been doing this and like my page there, James is yours is just as soon as you can just start setting it like

because that one's funny because I think James was also July, which that house cleaner. So it was like I'm the jester, but you're the. What concerns me is that it's it's it's fantasy coding my brain now. And I'm like wanting to like go back and like watch and do all these things that I like did as a kid. I mean, this is it's very big with uh, you know fantasy and The smut novels are all fantasy D&D is big now. It's just people people enjoying fantasy

I asked Sally last night because she was reading a smut novel and I asked her I was like It seems like it'd be on brand for this to have like a Harry Potter one where they're older and then someone writes about that and she Looked to me and she's like well There's so much Harry Potter fan fiction. Oh, yeah They have they have like a whole series of books that are a relationship between Draco Malfoy and Hermione Like we don't need that. I don't want to think about I told her I was like It's creepy that people are even drunk like that people are even writing this because like they're writing about characters that they only knew as kids. Yeah, and now you're writing pornographic stuff about them

is like 30 year olds. Like what are we doing? See this one. That's a little weird. This one's dope. It's like grooming. Yeah, they were kids. You're grooming fictitious characters.

It's creepy. Talking about the choose your sword ones. See this. Yeah, and there's all these different like accounts. I'm doing one. fictitious characters. It's creepy. Talking about the choose your sword ones. You see this, yeah. And there's all these different accounts that I'm doing. This one's very specifically will give you positives and give you negatives for the stuff. So it's fun.

Get on the algorithm. It makes it so good. Yeah. I don't want it to end. I'm enjoying this. I'm gonna start sending you, Dylan, so you can get some. Now that I've clicked on these, am I gonna start getting them too?

I hope so. You'll probably get some. If you look at how on these, am I gonna start getting them too? I hope so. You'll probably get some. If you look at like how many likes they have versus how many shares they all have, it's just crazy. Like everyone's just sharing them with bro. Can you imagine not sharing with bro? Bro, we smoking here? Exactly.

There's a couple of those places where if someone busted it out. With bro. I'm not smoking with bro in those places. The one with the volcano, no. Yeah. No. I don't smoke in front of volcanoes. I only smoke volcanoes. Careful exposing your DMs there, Randy.

That was just your DM and all the things. Yeah, how many baddies you got in those DMs, Randy? Baddies? Baddies? I have- It'd be funny if there was like a DM to Friday Beer's like, hey, are you guys hiring? I think with more research,

I think that that might be a real photo of that guy. If you want to go back to that really quickly. Sorry, I didn't mean to throw the flag on Photoshop. It's just. Hey, I'm with you, but it's either that like someone Photoshopped it cause it's so ridiculous, but I was going through some of his old photos

and he is very much a big tight jeans outside the shirt here. Does he wear like the lifted boots because he's like maybe a little shorter than he wants to be? So you can't really see that one that well, but he's very big. Randy, we gotta fix your shit.

It's so easy to zoom in on my computer. But that's Mac, man. I know. I don't know. I's so easy to zoom in on my computer, but that's that's Mac man I know I don't know I'm not trying to go all bread on you and say you have to go full Mac But there we go. I zoom out in this yeah, he does wear pretty he does wear pretty tapered pants It's a bad look. It's a terrible look. It's a bad look like and he wears like jeans specifically with he with like Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's real. We're giving more and more credibility to this photo Dave.

We need to find the original just to make sure. He wears very tight jeans that are cut up. Yeah, it's got a Celsius bro. All that. This guy's such a huge man. Where are you and bro splitting a Celsius? Dude, some of these photos are kind of hard though. He's got that, that asshole.

Yeah, you can't wear that shooting dude. So I think, I think it might be real. Wait, go back up. Oh, okay. Sorry. Never mind. One caught my eye. I saw the explosion. I wasn't sure what he tries to look hard. I mean, that is 9 11. I didn't look hard in every picture. One of those guys. Is this a guy who didn't do any type of military service, but like his entire life is like cosplaying. Has all the equipment.

For sure. It's a sick way to use your money after you do some defraud. So, goodbye. Go out and shoot the big guns, put on your tightest jeans possible. Look at that, dude. Absolutely no room.

Yeah, that might have been a real photo. I'm about to pee myself. Do it on camera right now. All right. Come on. I'm stepping away. No, do it. Let's play wet spot.

No, I got to pee so bad. Let's play wet spot. He's gonna keep you quiet. Bye. Let's play Wedspot! You're just gonna keep playing. Bye!
