Yeah, I'm David and I'm very happy to be here. That voice you just heard was Dylan Shivery back. He looks great. I'd like to apologize to our lovely listeners for being absent yesterday. I was a little bit under the weather. Sorry to make you wait for this content. But great things come to those who wait and this is gonna be a great episode. I feel it in my plums, David. How are the

plums? They were kind of bothering you yesterday. No, the plums have been... actually the plums... Plum-ing, sorry. No, that wasn't it. I had like... Open bag of leaves is what you said. I had like 20% of a flu. Like very mild flu like symptoms. You know? Did you throw up? That's like a cold.

I don't throw up. Do you have a temperature? I haven't thrown up in like 20 years. Did you have a temperature? No. Okay, that's okay. I had a headache. I was a little bit achy.

Yeah. Energy completely depleted. So here's the deal I'm gonna just I'm gonna say this for everybody in the room Brett will tell Phil Brett in later going forward if the simpies the symptoms right involve aches and Depleted energy you don't even have to send a text like asking what should I do? You should say look I got those two and Not feeling it not coming in. Boom. Saved you a text. Good news is I am I'm about 90 plus percent today. So, I'm feeling good, man. Feeling good.

And uh yes, that concludes my introduction. Keep going. No, that's it. Do it. You gotta intro it first. Just keep going. Look at the filler to your left right there with the beard producer. Producer. No, Randall Trimbach. Hi Dave. I would like to apologize to everyone that I missed the

real time there. I just was very I've never heard that term before an open bag of leaves. That's it. That's what Dylan that's how he described it. A new one for me. Did not have diarrhea. I didn't say that. It's real time there. There you go. He did it. Open bag of leaves Dylan, that's how he described it. That's a new one for me. I did not have diarrhea. I didn't say that.

It's real time there. There you go. He did it. Open bag of leaves. Now that's making the most out of your intro. My no vomit streak continues. So that's good. Feels good to vomit sometimes though.

I wouldn't know. It really does. Like it felt it. It feels good to clear the system and not have that queasy feeling. I got queasy fee wing. Yeah, don't know I hate that feeling man Yeeks ladies and gentlemen

Will to freeze Good to be here. I'm sorry. I was I know it's been a minute since I've been on I know I said I'd be on more it was weird I was out with this biker gang recently Okay, and I got sucked into a black portal of hell that was in the sky Did you I just recovered from it and yeah back dude? I saw that. Yeah, I saw a headline about that. It's quite troubling It was over on the Daily Mail. Let me see if you're mentioned in this Yeah, do they have any photos of me that I need to ask them to take down? It was over on the Daily Mail. Let me see if you're mentioned in this. Yeah. Do they have any photos of me that I need to ask them to take down?

I don't want people to know that I'm a part of this biker gang. This isn't an exclusive to the Daily Mail. It says mysterious black portal to portal to hell appears over US skies, which is interesting because you know, you wouldn't think of the portal to hell being in the sky. Right. I would think it'd be this way. Yeah. Western culture typically has hell below. Yeah. Dante's Inferno, things of that nature.

I'm glad you made it back, bud. Yeah. Another announcement. Another announcement. 45 days. 45. 45 days out. Okay, in 45 days, obviously, what happens? 45 days

from today, month and a half. About? If you if you're like me and every month is 30 days. Yep. Um. That's the way it should be. It's National Shredded Cheese Day. It's the anniversary of our friend at Mico Sina not eating her fajitas So I just want to put that on everyone's radar. Okay

Looks like everyone's gonna be in town for it. So I think we might need to Choose our fajita spot of choice and maybe have a little celebration I've got one in mind, but I don't know if you you saw my tweet They kind of messed up things that Lupe tortilla. I won't yeah, dude. They gave you the gift of bean He said some extra beans for your trouble Thanks. No, okay to be fair, you're not you're not a big guy their beans, but you know Lupe they don't get it's not just like a canned black beans or a refried bean they do it up they get the baracho and then they've got the like a uh canned black beans or

that's cool. Yeah, I'm going to eat a bunch of beans. Thanks, man. Cool. That's cool. I'm gonna eat a bunch of beans thanks to you. We love coming here. We're gonna come back. I'm not gonna say you should have maybe thrown in like, I don't know, maybe some guac or some extra queso. That's the thing. It's hard for me to figure out, beans is obviously not the ideal thing

from a Tex-Pex menu to get extra off. No. But I'm also like, is it gonna move the needle that much if it gives me like a side of guacamole? Like I'm not gonna be come up to get extra off. No, but I'm also like, is it going to move the needle that much? If it gives me like a side of guacamole like I'm not going to be that psyched. Yeah. Yeah. Wacom. Beans aren't doing much for me. Refried or

what? What kind of beans we talking? Baraccio. Baraccio. Okay. There's a barach. Oh, baracha. Why did I look at right in the middle of the Midwest guy. Yeah. Sky Dad know up from down. Well, hell's up apparently nowadays. Yeah,

what's going on? I woke. I said woke hell. Look, they're trying to walk a by hell. They're putting it in the sky. Everyone's woke, dude. Harbor Springs High School. Woke. Are we going to look at the, are you applying to the head basketball job? Yeah. No, I'm not the football job.

Well, I said the football listing. Yeah, if you live in Northern Michigan and you're a head football coach looking for a job, Harbor Springs High School really needs someone right now. And they're supposed to have a squad, so. Nah. No? I think they had a forfeit last season

because they didn't have enough players. I thought this was their year, man. They're gonna take a stake. There's a lot of people very upset or very confused because they have fired the basketball coaches from the high school team in Harbor Springs. The Rams, right? Yeah, dude.

And you know, there's some allegations out there that maybe the coaches were a little hard on the players. I don't know. You gotta get those boys in shape. That's the thing like I don't know like. I'm not. I know. I'll be honest. The the high school sports that I look back on the fondest are the ones where the coaches really had high standards for us. Kind of an opportunity for you right? To coach high school football? Well, you had texted me, said you were looking for a head job. Dylan texted the other day when he was sick and he said, I'm not feeling well. Hard to describe, but it's pretty mild flu-like symptoms. Yeah. Pretty sure it's not serious like the flu though.

I can absolutely show up and record and then leave right after, but I wanted to talk to y'all about it first. And then I immediately responded, if you come in, I am leaving. Yeah, he straight just put the hammer down on my head. What kind of offer is offering? I respect that you wanted to come in

and grind while you were sick. I respect that. I don't want this to get lost. But coming in and locking yourself in a fishbowl with us for two hours isn't exactly my thought of like, you know, we're not following COVID protocols. I don't feel that it's contagious in any way. I've been around parks, I've been around Chelsea, they're totally tip top. I didn't feel like it was to the point of that level of concern. But you know, we're running a two man weave now and I was like, I don't want to leave the

squad out to dry. No, me and Randy could have done it. I will come in, I will do a part and I'll just dip. I would have done it yesterday, but I had a previous commitment that I couldn't shift. Hey, I'm happy that you guys waited. Okay. I love sitting in this chair right here talking to my dear friends on the mic. For sure. I had some questions of people being like,

why don't you just sit in? I'm like, well, yeah, it's because I don't want to just screw over the person that I was interviewing. I can't just tell them to buzz off. That's facts. Yeah. Buzz off. Scram. Skedaddle. Get out of here. Thank you. Thank you guys for holding it down. Too much dip was kind of the that the Missouri Tigers baseball team, they got their first three wins in conference all against the Aggies. Do you want to discuss the player who should be a high schooler from Texas? Jonah Williams?

Yeah, do you want to discuss Jonah Williams' strategy of drawing walks? Look, that guy who's 17 years old and he plays the chip on his shoulder, look, the behavior was a bit odd and If I were on the opposing team, I'd be like fuck this guy. I kind of love the kids He the football player to your time. I star safety, you know how baseball players are notoriously weird. Yeah, he's a weird kid I think he's just

He's also like the like let's get the energy going on my team guy I keys he's because he's taking on that role down seven. What inning? Yeah, the game. The game was like well in hand. It was I get it. It was weird behavior and I don't condone it, but I kind of love the kid. And so it's like, whatever. I saw a lot of criticism online for him.

And then I clicked on a couple tweets to see what people were saying. And there were a lot of weird baseball guys just being like, no, I love it. And I was like, you know what? I think I'm going to love this dude. I think I'm going to love it. I think this is kind of how he gets the best out of himself by just being like chip on the shoulder, like kind of shit talking. To not take a single swing during the at bat while barking at the pitcher most of the time. It was weird. And then to draw the walk and then to throw the bat aggressively.

He didn't, I don't think he bat through, but to throw the bat aggressively. Yeah. When you say bark, do you mean he was like chirping or was he actually like barking like a dog? No, Sidney Sweeney wasn't on the mound. He was on the Dodgers game in 2023. Gotcha. I could see, I don't know. Brandi would have gone to the bathroom when she threw out the first pitch. It's almost like we've been talking about that recently. That very moment. Did y'all talk about him on the on too much? We did

a college baseball man and we had to know that there's a new number one team and there's the former number one team is now the number three team. Yeah, Texas is sliding. They they gotta figure some **** out. They're getting **** ****

straight out. Call them the dolls. There we go. They're getting a big back in the line up this week though. Well, yeah, they have not looked good, man. Anywho, I'm sitting far from Dylan, because just in case he does have, but A&M got swept by the previously winless Missouri Tigers.

Shout out to the Tigers. Great journalism school. Just kidding. But it did happen. So good that Mike is a journalist. Yeah, our good friend, Michael the journalist. Thank you, Will. You know, I do trust his journalistic... Integrity? Provis.

Provis, yeah, provis is probably the word. Integrity, no. No, integrity, absolutely not. You can't trust anybody who's been banned from the mall. It's very hard, as I've learned in high school, to get banned. It's very hard as I've learned in high school to get banned. It's funny that he took his journalism degree and use it to become the electric factory.

Yeah. No, what was it called? The power plant. The power plant. It's basically the same thing. He just turned himself into Erkan. Sick. Gotta love him.

Oh They didn't place it in battle Okay, that's all right, but they had fun Um, and I might not do that again next year because it was a lot there kids don't respect you do that No, they do but like Trying to explain to a group of like third fourth of fifth graders Like the game that it wasn't like actual pickleball. It was like a different kind of you can step in the kitchen

But only after like I would I would explain so they would just like blank face stare at me like What do we do? Like, okay As a life sediment like you stand here you stand here Anyway, these kids had never played pickleball. So what were they doing out there competing? They had to get a rally going as long as they could was part of the game. I was explaining to him like you're not trying to score because you're all in the same team here. Just hit it back and forth and then these fifth

graders to like game the system and one of them stood at the net and just kept hitting it back like bouncing it bad as T at his partner back and forth and they like 10x to every other score. It was pretty funny work smart enough. Yeah, it's all like you and he had his partner back and Yeah. Yeah. It healthy for him. I was like, let I'll let Dave tell you a story about what happened to him that one time he pitched. No, they the it was good. Am I the only one who's been tuned up pitching here? No, no, no. Like every we've all been tuned up. Come on, Hawes. Yeah, he got he got he he faced the heart of the lineup and he was just they were they're hitting the ball and it

Really? I'm hoping it's it's not but I it's we're in a tough time. Oh yeah, that's not up to 108, dude. It's

going to be dry though at least. They're saying. Not my butt. Not your butt. The butt's not going to be dry. You understand what he's saying? Butt's going to be a little moist. That's what he's saying. It's real time. I know. Yeah, Randy.

No. I wore some green shorts on the golf course a couple of weeks ago and like, I just knew on hole four, I was like, oh, they're talking about my butt right now. My friend, Mikey, texted me on Friday afternoon. He said, if you guys want to go out, it's going to be the last good weather Friday for the next four months. And I was like, oh fuck, if you guys wanna go out, it's gonna be the last Good Weather Friday for the next four months.

And I was like, oh fuck, I think you're right. Just gonna be so hot for the next four months. When Mikey sent that text, do you think he was driving his vehicle shirtless? Yes. We're gonna have one more Good Weather Friday. I'm not worried. Yeah, I'm not worried, dude.

The morning. It's early May, it's early May. We got time last June. I know it was very cool in Austin, but we got time. Yeah. Sunday got a little pool action in and that started feeling a little sick as we know. And so I kind of shut her down early Sunday evening and just kind of stayed in bed for the rest of the time. And that was it. How many? How many? How many? How many cranks did you get off? Oh, I was no, no, no, no,

no. That is that is out of bounds. He's wow. Why are you so proud of yourself? I don't talk about my cranks publicly. Okay. But everybody here remembers where they were the morning of 9 11 including you. You were a goon in a 9-11. I wasn't, let's not put that out there, I was not. But you might have been. But I wasn't, I remember the day very vividly. I was in school, man, it was a Tuesday. You were on vivid.com. Mr. Davies looked at me like, this ain't good.

And I was like, what's not good? And he said a plane just hit World Trade Center. And then another one. That didn't happen for like another hour. He's coming Hold on Just do an ad read for a little bit. What did he say mild food like symptoms? Or like less than the flu but like something up like sneezing your shirt

Look at the light. Look at the line pirate elbow Or vampire. I think we're okay do sneezing down your shirt? He like gets all over your chest. That's gross. I have a friend who did that. Shout out to Matt. He does. I mean, he does that. That's how he sneezes. I do it sometimes. It passed. We can move on to Matt and I hug.

Matt and I hugged at three AM after your wedding as I got my Uber. Said it was great to meet you. No, we had. We had met him before or no. When did we go to Colonial? I think that was after I got kicked out of the bar. I think it was after. I think it was great to meet you. No, we had met him before. Or no, when did we go to Colonial? I think that was after.

I got kicked out of the bar. I think it was after. Yeah, I think you're right. I got asked to leave a bar and it was a fun night. Oh, it had to have been after. There's no way I was going to Colonial with you guys because you got married very quickly after I got a Grand Ex.

Yeah. Oh, good times. Randy. Hi, Dave. They want to know about my weekend. Right. Let's keep it short. Friday, I didn't do much play video games. Helldivers to shout out all my helldivers out there. The limit was that.

What was the little thing? That's the salute. That's the helldiver salute. The Lumen had have invaded and it's pretty bad. We need to get back out there. That's pretty much I did Friday. Saturday was the day Dan just texted me Friday and said, Hey, do you want to just do something Saturday bop around and he just came and picked me up and I was a little passenger princess and we went to comic book store. We got the

Leroy and Lewis burger so fucking good. It's got a Michelin star. Dave, did you know that? I did know that. Did you know that? Yeah. Then we went to a thrift store. And then later we went bowling with Boosh. Did you pop some tags? I didn't I did not get anything. He got a commemorative Boston Red Sox plate. Dan. Yeah. Why? That's a gift for someone. That's my damn impression. Yeah. And then Sunday, I just kind of chilled and caught off the chores.

What's the bowling alley situation? Do you go to West Gate Lanes? Yep. Uh we had a couple issues with the lane that it was not setting up the pins properly but Dan, Dan Register is good at bowling. Yeah, he's got that trash gene. You gotta have it. That makes sense that Dan will be good at bowling. I was surprised how good he was. Why is my brain telling me that Dan took a bowling thing

in college like you did? I know I did, but I don't know if he did. I was talking about Dave, not you. Featuring Kyle, my bowling class. Featuring Kyle Park, noted Texas singer songwriter, but also maybe more noted Alexis Texas. Is that September 11th who you were? No, September 11th preceded her career. Preceded her career in the adult film industry.

Maybe we'll have her on one day. I don't know if she's Austin based, but we can have her on in the adult film industry. Maybe we'll have her on one day. I don't know if she's Austin based, but we can have her on and talk about bowling class. Dan kept on claiming he was conceived in a bowling alley. So that's why. Dan just trying to like become a country song. Did he drive a truck now?

He does. Yeah, but that's about it. It was a very chill weekend. Just trying to save some money for this move coming up. Very cool. Oh, William. You know what it is. No, I don't. I kind of do.

Dylan, I just think on Friday that you've been talking about for a long time. I tried the bar steak at Jeffrey's. Oh, really good. Yeah, I've been telling you, don't really get it is good. They have a special steak. Yeah, it's a bar steak, David. How been telling you don't really get it. It is good. They have a special steak. Yeah, it's a bar steak,

David. How big? Give me the dimensions. About that big. It's about this big. Thanks for a serious response. It's about this big guy. Um mashed potatoes to go with it. You just drag that steak through there. Should have gotten the side of

chimichurri. Didn't do that.. I woke up the next day. Didn't feel great. Didn't feel great. Decided that I wasn't going to let the slight hangover take control of me. I was going to take control of it. Damn. So, I decided to be as productive as I could possibly be that day. Mine over matter, dog. Your boy went to the grocery store to get everything for Mother's Day. First thing in the morning, knocked it out. Then, I went to Lazarus. You guys familiar with Lazarus? Yeah, he rose from the dead. Lazarus, I was only familiar with the Eastside location, brewery slash coffee place slash food.

They have a location that's closer to my place slash food. They have a location that's closer to my place and I have to say, I will be returning. Chill, sitch, outdoors, easy to get everything, good food, great street tacos. You got a pirate ship that kids can play on. Big fan. Catch me at Lassie. And then in the afternoon, headed over to a nursery of the plant variety, not of the kid variety, and I picked up some pots, picked up a couple plants, and you know your boy

was just planting all afternoon. Just getting after it in the garden. Gardening wills in full effect. Luckily for me, at my breaking point when I was like, man, I'm sweating too much out here. I'm getting really tired,'m just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like,

I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, We did have some interesting downpours over the weekend Then it was just all all eyes on Mother's Day, man Yeah, um got Sally some flowers got her a framed photo of our kids We decided to go to Matt's El Rancho For a little brunch action, uh

Here's the thing I didn't really want Matt, so I decided to try to go a little healthier. I ordered the blackened redfish. Yeah. Have you guys done this? I felt like I was at a resort in Cabo. It's they've strangely good. They served it on a giant white plate, a plate that I didn't even know existed in the kitchen at Matt's. The fish came out whole. No head, no head, but tail. I don't like that. Well, I'm a man of taste. I loved it. It went crazy. Wood order again is one of the more expensive things on the menu. I heard you. I heard you ate the tail. I didn't eat the tail. It is good. It was bomb, dude. It was bomb. And I just kind of chilled, just trying to take the stress off mom the rest of the day. Nothing crazy.

What was the sauce you went with for that fish? I didn't do a sauce. No sauce. It was blackened. I thought maybe they gave you like a some kind of sauce to put on it. I'm sorry. I saw your face and I said it tis. You never said anything. You just looked at me funny. It's a visual show. They did offer with my side salad that I did not order. It comes with the blackened redfish. They offered a Chipotle ranch.

That's what I was thinking. A something else. And then they just offered normal ranch. And I thought, I'm getting normal ranch. Oh yeah. Turns out the normal ranch at Matt's slaps. Interesting. It tastes, it's not hidden valley, but it tastes like it could be.

Hidden Valley has a little sourness to it at the end. Yeah, there's something there. And it didn't have that. It might've been homemade buttermilk ranch. It was delightful. the know. Podcast week. And YouTube week. Producer week? No. No, we're trying to claim producer week yesterday on the Reddit yesterday. I'm like, no, no, it's just for you were vague in the slide you posted. There was an opportunity there to throw him onto the bus and you didn't take it because I'm a good guy. But someone did comment diowhia and I thought that's really funny.

He like that. Well, yeah. You like that. You see these do is laughing. The kids laugh. Yeah, that's fucking crazy, man. Yeah. Highlight of my weekend, in addition to celebrating all the mothers and the mommies. Saturday, we had a birthday party.

Some neighbors of ours went down there and dodged the big downpour. Had some good storms. And then right after the second round, I was at a party. what? Fuck, I'm not going to let these guys know. I went to Popeyes. Went to Popeyes Saturday evening, picked it up. I forgot to mention I had Zoya. You were talking Popeyes in the office before the weekend. Did you end up going chicken sandwich or did you end up going tenders? I went in fully expecting to get that chicken sandwich

because we did talk about it, but I went three piece spicy mixed, jalapeno on the side, red beans and rice, extra biscuit. Wife got some tendies. Let me double click into this real quick, Dave. Ate some of her tendies cause she didn't finish them. I felt like a real fucking piece of shit after, but it was worth it.

I know that there was a moment where you considered getting a three piece as well as a chicken sandwich and just knowing that you'd have leftovers. Was that a moment that you confronted? No. Well, I thought about it, but I don't really like doing fast food leftovers, especially something like Popeyes. Cause I'm like, this is my window to eat this.

Like I don't want to extend out the me eating horrible fried food into tomorrow. I got a chance to do it. I thought about getting the sandwich in addition to, but I was like, why? Just, I don to do it. I thought about getting the sandwich in addition to but I was like Why just I don't need it I don't need a sandwich and three pieces of chicken and a jalapeno and red beans and rice I have to get some shoes repaired and I got them done I'm getting them done at a a place very close to the Popeyes that I used to frequent

I cannot wait to go pick up this pair of shoes so I can get Popeyes. It's either happening today or tomorrow. Austin shoe hospital? Yeah. They're good. Yeah, I mean, I don't know if I trust their system of pricing. Dude picked up my shoe and went, yeah, I'll be about $24.95. I was like, okay. No, it seemed fair, but I was just kinda like, I don't know what you're basing this on.

They rebuilt my boots for me, did an excellent job. Is this 24.95 to put like a bottle opener on the bottom? That's pretty sick. Worth it, that's cool. They're gonna charge me $60 to put Heelys on my boots. I said, no way, that's too much. I thought about it. Those shoeskates, whatever you have are so terrible.

I want grind plates on the bottom of my soaps. Yeah. You know, people forget that you have some loose connection to the guy who worked for soaps. No, he was just a rep. Oh, he's a rep. He was just a rep. He dated my cousin for like three weeks.

It's still pretty sick though. It was during my blink-182 phase. And so like when I met him, I was just like, you're the coolest dude I've literally ever met in my entire life. cousin for like three weeks. It's still pretty sick though. It was during my Blink-182 phase and so like when I met him I was just like you're the coolest dude I've literally ever met in my entire life. He's like I can get you I got promo codes I got some codes for you dude for your soaps. There was nowhere good to do to use soaps in my high school. The best place to do it was in the the gym locker room on the benches in between the lockers. I'll bet your coach would love that. Yeah, we got we got talked to. Did you have it to freeze take off

your soap shoes? That's not how we talked to you had an Italian accept for some reason. Did you guys ever wax up any edges like with that candle? Yeah. Okay. Dylan the morning of 9-eleven. Kind of works. I remember my brother and cousin taking a candle and we had some railroad ties right by our place and just waxing them up to do grinding on it.

I can tell you local businesses did not like it when you did that. But you know what I say, Dave, skateboarding is not a crime. It's not. I mean, it is in a lot of places. There's signs and stuff. There's a stair set at my son's school that just, I want to just show it to like, I want to go down to NoComply, the local skate shop and just be like, who's doing this? You could probably, I bet if you worked for six weeks, you could kick flip it.

Dave. Two weeks. Absolutely fucking not. You sure? No, he doesn't believe in himself. Can you believe this guy? Dave, I can't kick flip stationary. I can't believe him. He doesn't believe in himself. Can you believe this guy? Dave, I can't kickflip stationary. I can't believe him if he can't believe in himself. I mean, who's going to believe in you if you don't believe in yourself?

Come on, man. We just pointed that out with Randy not believing. All right, I'll go try to kickflip it. I'm going to leave this podcast, go pick my son up from school and kickflip the 15 set. Will comes in just shattered ankle. Dude, Jamie Thomas would look at this set and be like, nah. I was pretty serious. Yeah.

It's not like a little three-stepper. No, I do have a three. I do have a, I do have like a three or four set that I've been looking at for, before I turned 40. I want to get an ollie off on that thing and land it. That's, that's real. He has told me about this set multiple times. Let's go do it.

I think it's doable. I think it's, I think it's doable. I think I might hurt myself, but I'm not going to wear pads. Just wear pads. No, I'm not going to wear pads. That's such a poser move. I'm not going to wear pads. Wait, what's wearing pads or not wearing pads?

You know. OK. Either way, I'll wear a helmet. This I'm not going to wear pads if I'm willing to break an elbow to do this. That's fine. We can't even get him to wear a helmet on the damn e-bike. Yeah. You have like numerous people in your life

begging you to wear this helmet. You have listeners, you have us, you have like your ex-wife is begging you to do it. I didn't tell you all this, but a couple of weeks ago, a car ran a red light when I was crossing Barton Springs on the bike. It's weird how that, a car ran a red light when I was crossing Barton Springs on the

bike. It's weird how that happens. Car ran a red light and I had to like quickly slam on the brake and peel off and the guy just pulling a point up the light. It's like, what are you **** doing? Anyway, I almost got smoked. Yeah, it's

what are you doing? But I didn't Oh my god. Oh my God. That's the thing. You can't trust these people. What if you rolled down the window and just said, fuck you, Dorn. This is why I didn't tell you. I'll never make a fool of you. I knew you were gonna get on my ass about it.

It's literally the stupidest thing that you do in your life is not wear a helmet. Yeah, Parks' mother had a little talk with me about it. When's that? Okay, you know what? Next, next. Okay, it might be too soon to do the flyover with the banner. It's going to say get Dylan a

helmet. Yeah. Okay. Get Dylan a helmet.com. Seems expensive, but I support it. I'm going to pay for it with the company. Do you want me to take the padding out of Fritz's old helmet? It might fit your head, dude. I could probably probably better

than nothing. Is there a company that just makes baseball helmets? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I'm gonna pay for it with the company. Do you want me to take the padding out of Fritz's old helmet? It might fit your head, dude. I could probably. It's probably better than nothing.

Is there a company that just makes baseball helmets into bike helmets? Yeah, dude, just wear a baseball helmet. That's actually a good bit. That'd be kind of sick. It is a good bit. All right, I'll get a baseball helmet. Oh, man.

It'll work. All right. I don't know, man. All this talk about soap shoes got me thinking about hopping in the shower. Alright, I don't know, man. I'll just talk about soap shoes. Got me thinking about hopping in the shower and I love hopping in the

shower because I love Crammo. Do you know daddy? Well, daddy loves Crammo. You know, likes it more than more than I do. Chelsea, when I put that cream, I'll smell good on. Oh yeah. I put the Crammo up in the the guest bedroom because we didn't

I didn't want to go to the store and buy some extra stuff. One, huge mistake. Why would I give that to someone else when I could have it? Dumb. Two, the person staying with me came down and said, that stuff smells phenomenal. Yeah, boy. I hit it with the Palo Santo.

Oh yeah. I'm on that ish too. Palo Santo? Yeah. Yeah, that's mine too. Fuck yeah. This room right now. That sounds like the one foreign bachelor character.

ball this morning for the show and yeah, the the the Mavs got the first pick in the draft which still feels very insane. 1.8% chance that the ball is drawn. Yeah and it worked out man. No, no conspiracy or anything. You know, not to be that guy, but I can, you know, I can see why people are crying foul here. Yeah, I get it. This isn't the first time. The Magic in the early 90s, that's how they got Shaq, right? Or was it Penny? Anyway, like they had a 1.5 chance. I think it was Shaq and I wasn't even thinking this is in the realm of possibility. I you know, you look at the odds

You're like, oh, yeah, they got like the 1.8 chance like you mentioned and I uh I was taking coming home from lifetime fitness where my son was getting his first swim lesson And I knew it was about to be on but I was like, oh it's already on and I looked at the text group And Brett had sent something I was like, oh the maz must have moved up a little bit which is literally in the history of the mavericks franchise They've never moved up. They've never improved their draft position through the lottery right outside of like a trade or something that That doesn't happen

And I was like, oh I saw top four. I was like, oh, that's cool. Maybe we'll Grab the Baylor kid who I like edge come is his name or Trey Johnson. Sure a number of players What's so funny about that Randy? I don't age come Grow up, dude Was his first name goon I'm like, what's this? What's his name? The important thing here is that yeah, the Mavs got the first pick and I'm like, all right, I'm like, okay, I'm going to lay three. Okay, I'm going to lay three scenarios out A, B, and C. And as a Dallas Mavs fan, I want you to choose which one of those you would most want for your franchise. Does one of these involve a time machine? A. Draft Cooper flag out of Duke with the number one overall pick.

OK. Consensus number one overall prospect. Two. B, I should say, is you use that number one overall pick to go get Luca back from the Lakers. Luca, AD, Kyrie, pretty good trio there. Or C. Go get Janis, who said he's Lakers, Luca, AD, Kyrie, pretty good trio there. Or C, go get Giannis, who said he's wanting to play in a state income tax free state. Sometimes the income's outcome though. That's right.

Which of those would you most prefer as a Dallas Mavs fan? There's not like option D where we just pretend none of this ever happened. Nope. Luca's still on our team and we're probably gonna go to the finals. Time machine option is not in play here. Probably not in play here. Celtics are done. Which of those three would you most want to happen for your team?

You can't trade it back for Luca because that requires a number of things. You have to get rid of Nico. It requires Nico going. Which should happen like right now. Which I think would be on the table on that requires a number of things. You have to get rid of requires Nico going, which should happen, like, which I think would be on the table on that scenario. Yeah, absolutely. Um, would I do that? I don't know.

I feel like the waters are a little too muddy. It's just too weird because of Nico though. I know, but also like the Patrick Dumont, like ownership group is weird and they signed off on it, but cause they don't know ball, but they should know enough to know that you can't make that trade. No, you got to go get Cooper flag. That's it. That's what you go do. I watched the highlight reel last night as I didn't watch any college

basketball this year. Hmm. Cooper flag noseball. He's got game, Doug. I didn't know he was Yemen. I was like that like violently white guy. Why is he violently dunking on that for a white? I didn't, I don't see race in that, in that respect.

But like number of white guys. What's up with him? He's, he's a violent. He's a bad man. Why are you bad man? Why are the Mavs just, why do we have to have, why do we have to have like the best white dude? Dirk, Luca Luca Cooper flag.

What's our deal? I don't know. White boy summer never ends when you're a maps fan. What did Chet say? It's cowboy summer. It's cowboy summer, yeah. Yeah, he didn't, his heart wasn't in it. I don't know, man.

I'm kind of feeling it. I feel like it's been cowboy summer for like three years. Yeah, I feel like we need to move on from cowboy summer. I'm gonna go load up on starch. Are you really? It looks like you already have. I'm gonna go load up on starch. Are you really? It looks like you already have. I was in your room recently hanging out. Heavy starch on everything.

I saw your socks just standing up. I was going, why are you starching your socks up like that? I don't starch my socks, man. Hang out with good edge gum? You know, man, you double down on the joke. I saw a bag of starch like on your bedside table. Yeah, I'm about to start starching everything. Yeah, but you can't starch everything with that tiny little, it was like this your bedside table. Yeah, I'm about to start starching everything. Yeah,

but you can't start everything with that tiny little, it's like this big, the bag. What they call, weren't you hanging with Zelensky recently? Yeah, weren't you doing cocaine with Macron? Cocaine? I don't like that I brought up talking about the French president doing cocaine possibly in the office and have you ever seen me get swatted out of the gym as fast as I did by Dylan and Brett at the same time? It's clearly the most dismissive tone in the office. I know we know he they weren't doing cocaine We're just having fun. Yeah, like it just looked like they were doing like they had little coke spoons in like a little bag That looked like coke. It's clear, right? We're done. You go. No, see, this is what it is It's this thing you can put it in a close. Yeah, Dylan Dylan dug into his pocket says this is what cocaine looks like

It goes in a club sandwich he's got a little thing in his pocket and says, this is what cocaine looks like. That didn't happen. That didn't happen. It goes in a club sandwich. But you could do coke off that little fucker. You could. Like, saying that it's like, oh, this is like a cocktail stir. I'm like, yeah, but it also looks like a really

good vehicle for putting a small amount of cocaine in your nostrils. One little little bamboo twisty things he put in a club sandwich. Yeah, I don't know if it was, man. I'm pretty the kind of twisty things he Are they oh Yeah, look here's the deal it's a weird spot to be in like yes it is cool, but also like I really I Really hate that like the next Decade plus of my fandom is gonna be like rooting for this team, but also like oh no I'm never gonna like give

Nico Harrison any kind of credit like I will there will not be a time where I'm not like they should fire that guy Yesterday even if like the kid the whole conspiracy thing was actually true in the league was like all right You're gonna trade Luca to the Lakers and in return we're gonna give you this number overall pick So for a couple months there everyone in the world is gonna hate your guts Well, you know I was thinking about that like let's say that hypothetically that that did happen What why trash Luke If you know that like where this is going to end up and how this this plays out for you, why call him a lazy fat guy? Yeah.

And like borderline drunk, like on his way out, who doesn't like, why do that? Why not just take the high road? Why trash him? Every, and the fact that he said like, look, I did kind of us underestimate how much the city loved him. What you did. You've been here for a few years. Like, why don't you just give him the unfat shot drug? They should. Friend of mine, you've probably heard of him. It's not working. Dave, I had numerous people, numerous people reach out to me yesterday and said, just say, is Dave pumped? Yeah, like I didn't realize you weren't as pumped as I thought he'd be. So I just told them like, oh just reached out to me yesterday and said, just say, is Dave pumped? Yeah. And I, I didn't realize you weren't

as pumped as I thought he'd be. So, I just told them like, oh, he's floating right now. Dude, I'm telling you, man, it's just, it's a weird, weird feeling. Like, because it's just, it's like I went down a, it's like time split and I went down a

timeline that's been very favorable but I should, I still know I shouldn't shouldn't be here like this should not be the the path that I'm on in my fan like Lucas should still be on the mass. He's not I guess I should get over it fine. He's not David, but he should still be the the Mavs right now should be playing the thunder or they should be like in the playoffs and they should be winning the Western Conference and then winning the finals there in the finals last year. Nobody remembers that but they

were so yeah, no I I am pumped and I do. Cooper Flagg's a dog. I watched a number of Duke games. In fact, I watched three Duke games. Okay, that is a number. And if healthy, they're going to be really good. But they got Kyrie back in like January. I don't know, man. It's just a weird feeling. How many times can one guy say that in one segment? Who knows? Anyway, can we talk about my friend? He got the fat shot.

You guys probably know about him. You've heard of him. He's he makes a lot of money. It's pretty neurotic. Why does he throw out little clues? Why can't he just? Cuz dude. Alright, we're going to play a trigger trigger warning. We're going to play the orange man yeah for you woke libs

out there who can't handle it I mean I'll tell you a story friend of mine who's a businessman very very very top guy most of you would have heard of him a highly neurotic brilliant businessman seriously overweight and he takes the fat shot drug. And he called me up and he said, President, he used to call me Donald, now he calls me President, so that's nice respect, but he's a rough guy, smart guy. Rough guy. Very successful, very rich. I wouldn't even know how we would know this, but because he's got comments that President, could I ask you a question? What? I'm in London. And I just paid

for this damn fat drug I take. I said, it's not working. He said, he said, I just paid $88. And in New York, I pay $1,300. What the hell is going on? I mean, I'll tell you a story, friend of mine. Okay. He's talking about Elon. Seriously, right? Right? Okay, well, brilliant, neurotic. Rough guy.

Really rich. Rough guy kind of. Very rich. Rough guy is the only thing that shifts me a bit. Like no one's ever described him as rough. Elon is definitely overweight, but he's not seriously overweight, I would say. He's a shape-shifter, man.

Has he been in London recently? He's a shape-shifter, I don't know. That's a question. We need to look at the flight tracker. I'm muted his ass on Twitter. The fact that he just calls it the fat drug is hilarious too. The fat shot.

We know he's talking about Ozempic, but. I mean, I think Trump's taken Ozempic. Yeah, yeah. There has to be a point in his life where he A fat shot. We know he's talking about Ozempic, but. I mean, I think Trump's taken Ozempic. Yeah, yeah. There has to be a point in his life where he got a shot. Dude, he's looking hella orange in this. Yeah. Yeah. Did you do something?

Did you alter this? He is looking like it's so bad. I said it's not working. So like on Love Island, you can always see like when they get makeup on Love Island because like their face is just such a different color from the rest of their body. Yeah. And like that's what he looks like right now. Yeah. Like it looks like he's got orange stuff on his collar when they get makeup on Love Island, because like their face is just such a different color from the rest of their body.

And like, that's what he looks like right now. Like, it looks like he's got orange stuff on his collar when he takes his shirt off. Like whenever I take my shirt off, like after like a nice dressy event, like black tie event, I always have like lipstick all over it, because I play replace. Like the chicks are just all over you.

Yeah. It looks like he's got like some bergamot juice on there. Is it bergamot? Yeah, it is. I say bergamot. Why has no one corrected me? I've done like six of them. Cause I didn't want to correct you mid ad read

and have our friends over that. When you're in flow state, I just let it go. Yeah. I never. It's one of those words that makes you think that you need to judge it up. And it's just, it's not, it's not. It's one of the normal ones.

Maybe they'll re-up. So I used to call, I called pomade like the hair stuff. I thought it was like a French word or some shit. And I called it pomade and my mom looked at me like, why are you doing that? You were like viola. Viola. Bergamot is a dope word.

It's citrusy. It's bergamot. Bergamot, well now I know. I have a, yeah. I have several products that feature bergamot dude crock doesn't even know that someone asked rock and they don't know Someone said Chris Christie, but I saw I okay one I think the people that immediately respond to a tweet and say grock What do they mean here? Like I think those people are the bottom feeders of Twitter. Oh, I will never fucking love it You'll never catch me doing that. I love

Also, I did see one yesterday, Randy that said, is he talking about Elon Musk and Grok pretty much said like, by all means, this does qualify Elon Musk, but we have no certainty that that's who we're talking about. Be so funny. I don't think Chris Christie is like wildly wealthy. Yeah, no. Very rich. I had to give him my seat at the PGA championship a couple years ago and he's a man of volume. Still he's he's rotund. Maybe maybe it's Wyatt Coke.

Ever think about that? I don't think they're buds like that. I don't think he's only he's got the orange man's phone number. You don't think Trump has a couple of those shirts? No, I don't think so. Missing out though. I mean, I'm looking like there's just not that many fat I don't think so. Missing out I'm not sure if my bank account was back to where it was 100 days ago. By the dip, David. Lucy.co slash Steam.

Good try, Randy. I tried to side the dip. Brett told me not to. Why? Don't don't. Why listen to Brett? Yeah, I'll be honest I was gonna keep dipping No, I thought Tesla I thought Tesla was bottoming out and I said I'm gonna I'm gonna buy this and Brett said I absolutely shouldn't and I made a mental note of what the stock price was at the day that I said I was going to buy and as of today I would have made a decent little chunk of money. Yeah, Brett also lost like $1500 on a

surger bucket. So yeah, I just don't think there's a difference. There's still time left. It's gonna. It's gonna climb. It's $70 higher than what I told Brett. I was gonna buy it. It's annoying. That's annoying. Should I? Should I backcharge

him? Yeah, you should bill him for that. Uh Dylan, check your Twitter. Okay. What's popping? Just check it out. Yeah, you know what? I don't believe that whoever that he's referencing um calls him president. It sounded like he just like. Now, he just. That came out of his mouth and he's like, alright, I'm gonna, I gotta riff on this so people know I didn't just mess up which I know I

should know the playbook by now. We've had a number of years of this but it, but he calls me president now. Who calls it? No one actually calls the president president. If you're going to use the word president to address him, you would call him Mr. President, right? I'd call him El Pres. Yeah. Yeah. Seriously overweight. His friends just at home just buying into their own business and he sees Trump just fucking seriously. Little sass meme. I said it's not working.

Imagine being like, wildly wealthy. Also seriously overweight. Yeah. But you but you pay a little bit more for a drug. You realize you're overpaying and you're like, I gotta call president. Yeah. I call president president. Yeah. I call president now. Yeah. Hey, man. Hey, you're not gonna believe you gotta do something about this now. Love a good anecdote. I'm glad I'm glad a rich billionaire can sway uh

Trump's thoughts on lowering medical costs. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Can you think it was sway? Sway. Sway. It just doesn't seem like it's a fun thing to be close friends with him. He might get thrown under the bus. Right? Pretty hard. Like, I don't know, man.

It's just not being a good friend. Like, what if you heard that Dylan was sitting at Matt's just talking to his hometown boys. Yeah. And he was just like, yeah, dude, Dave's just seriously overweight right now. He's been taking those Zempick and I told him it's not working.

Dave can only do like seven pull-ups. Very rich. I'm gonna do my pull-up challenge. Is that your number, Dave? No, I can do more than that. Y'all are up, you're on the clock. Dude, I fucking, yeah, I know. I'm telling you, man, I go on the clock. Dude, I **** Yeah,

I know. I'm telling you, man. I go in and out with the shoulder thing. I could do it. There we go. I know. I'm already building in excuses. I'll do it. Will's going to do it. We need a pole barn. I'm going to do it on the tree branch outside. Can

I do it on that? Yes. Why? Yeah. Brady, I told you to make these strong enough that we can do pull ups on them. Well, I didn't Shake him.. What are we gonna use these? We're not allowed to talk about it. Yeah. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, Brett, you quit, quit asking questions.

You can't, you can't ask questions about this. You can't say you're gonna, Brett, us when you're doing it now. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm gonna do the Brett thing. So now, now it's kind of randying. Good, good. Okay.

I Clearly wasn't that ready as I am now scouring, we'll shrink

the damn game while I'm talking and looking. Shrink. Drink the game. It's a hard out. Well, the Burniverse is a disgusting place right now. I've very much cleansed my algorithm of it as much as I possibly can at this point, but it's kind of inevitable sometimes. The Burnerverse stinks. You know what stinks even more? LinkedIn. LinkedIn.

You know what I'm talking about? I know very well. You know what I'm talking about? Talking about those people who just do really insufferable LinkedIn posts, just kind of overwrought, pointless, saying a lot of nothing. Surely no one who is still in college would ever

join LinkedIn and become one of these people though. Not gonna say his last name, but his first name's Blake because he had to be Blake. He looks like a Blake. Well, he posted on LinkedIn. It's okay. Those patrons of YouTube Week can see his last name. No, it's okay. Those patrons of YouTube Week can see his last name. It's okay.

He was the fraternity president at Theta Chi. Oh, dude, I'm so fucking tired of those guys. What was the rep? Do you guys have Theta Chi on campus? No, Theta Chi fucking squids. Yeah, they basically gave bids to everybody. We didn't. They're bottom tier. I'll be honest. The Theta guys

that I knew, those dudes were they're partiers. That house is dope. They're also shredded. Well, Blake was the president of Theta Chi and he decided that he was going to get his LinkedIn on and he posted an article called Reflections on my first

four months as fraternity president. Oh no. He said he knew he wanted to post some sort of semester recap about what he's learned about leadership and how he's grown as a person after being elected president. Oh yeah, I'm looking at it. You know, he's been facing some criticism.

You know, one account said, are we dead ass? It's a good question. Um yeah, you know, I do we need LinkedIn diatribes on uh someone's first four months as fraternity president. What does he what does he say about it? Just uh do you know what Dylan? I'll be honest. I didn't even wanna give this guy the click through. I I did. How'd it go? It's it's exactly what you would think. It's um a you know, you know, you wanna give this guy the click through I did. How'd it go? It's it's

exactly what you would think. It's a lot of like the demands of being a president. The pressure is relentless. As president, I carry the weight of everyone's actions, not just my own. If a brother makes a mistake, I'm the one answering

forward to the university officials, alumni advisors, nationals, and often the entire Greek community. Basically, like, you know how if you serve like as like t-shirt chair and like the fraternity, like you'd throw it on your resume and you try to dress it up like, um, wow. Just at me carefully, carefully, carefully, uh, drafted and created and printed a number of t-shirts, including a philanthropic endeavors. Like you throw it on there you try to dress it up. Well this guy just did it in like 800 words. He's going to link to

it drop it in the on his cover letter. When I got my job at Singular Wireless back when I was 21 years old. Yeah. On my resume I put that I was a member of a fraternity and they just my co-workers had made fun of me for like the next two months. Like you didn't have to put that on there. Like, oh, thought I was supposed to. Yeah, I mean, I think you are. It's not the grades you make, it's the hands you shake. You frat guy, you know you're a frat. How many cell phones did you sell?

I fucking slung that shit, dude. Really? Oh yeah, I was moving big time. Razors. Right. Moved a lot of razors. What was the most popular color? Blackberry.

Just the silver one. I had the the I had like the matte black the black one didn't come out until Like six months after I was working there Yeah, I had a gold one Fucking sick. No, dude. That's nerd shit your boy. If I see my boy pop a razor out. That's gold I'm like you get that from your says that Hand me down from your sister. Yeah, it was also an eighth grade. You think you're James Bond, dude I was your phone in eighth grade Wow must be nice. Yeah must be nice, man Almost don't beeper status phones probably didn't exist when you guys were in eighth grade

I think they invented telephones by the time I was in eighth grade. Yeah. Okay. Alexander Graham Bell. Cell phones became popular around my freshman year of high school. I had a pager in ninth grade. I don't think I had a cell phone until sophomore year. Yeah, that's about right. That sounds right.

Yeah, for sure. I had switched though from Motorola to a Primeco phone. Oh, I remember that. Yeah, I was there for that. Yeah, for sure. Well, I had switched though, from Motorola to a Primeco phone. Oh, I remember that. Yeah. I was there for that. Yeah. That was what I did. All right. Look, this kid's going to get an internship. He'll probably go work at like Deloitte. No shame in that. It's not, it sounds like he has his head on, good head on his shoulders or whatever.

I just, I can't imagine ever being in the state of mind to go on LinkedIn and actively like participate in the community while being a frat guy. And rightfully he was dunked on for it. Yeah, I was looking at the, I was looking at his actual LinkedIn and this thing didn't do that many numbers on LinkedIn it. Yeah, I was looking at the I was looking at his actual LinkedIn and this probably didn't do that many numbers on LinkedIn itself. He probably got some good engagement that's like genuine or I mean, I don't think any

engagement on LinkedIn is actually genuine but people were probably like, oh, that's really insightful. Wow. This guy, this guy's a real mover and shaker at this age. Look at that house. It's a good house. It's a good house. It's a good house, dude. We're actually just looking at our fraternity houses yesterday on Google images. I saw the, I saw the old K house. Oh yeah. Yeah.

Piece of shit. Yeah. Total piece of shit. Insightful words, Blake. I hope you can add a fifth H when you pass the baton to the next president of your chapter. That fifth H is happy, happy with the job you have done, happy with the decisions you made, happy knowing your experience has provided you a lifetime of memories

and happy that you maintain to focus on your classwork while balancing the duties of being president. Thank you for sharing your insights. That's from Mark. Maybe, Hey Mark, take Blake's junk out of your mouth for a second here. Insane glazing. Head glazer. Hey, Mark. That's take Blake's junk out of your mouth for a second here. Insane glazing. Head glazer. Hey, uh Blake Stevens. Would you like to intern at Wash Media? Oh, there's the last name. Okay. It's on the

screen. I'm sorry. Yeah, you already botched that, right? No, I was. It wasn't on the screen. It's public. It's on LinkedIn. Blake, we are offering you an internship this summer. I don't know what you want to do. Unpaid. Just so you know. Yeah. No, we pay our interns. You pay us because you can redirect funds from the fraternity.

Ooh, a little slush fund. Yeah, no, you come here, you can be Randy's intern. He'll teach you how to produce the pod when he's not here, which apparently is going to be more and more. Didn't you buy a timeshare out in Durango? Is that not true? I go Colorado. That's not true.

I actually got some land. I'll take us way. You did as well. I'm actually getting all the land around Brett. I'm going to have it get eminent domain. You're going to adversely possess Brett. Yeah. OK. Sick, dude. That is sick.

I'm going to. Then what? I'm going to get the mineral rights. I'm going to drink his milkshake. Oh, I'm going to drink his milkshake. Oh, he's going to drink his milkshake like the movie. Oh, yeah. Going to melt pretty quick out there. All right. Intern Blake's that's going to that's going to be great. We got a long line of great interns.

That's going to be a good time. OK. Oh, do we have more from the. Yeah. Randy, can you bring up our next graphic, please? What do you guys do if you walk into a bar? You see these dudes standing there. I'll read the caption. It says, this is the last thing frat guys want to see when they walk into college bars. And it's a bunch of dudes wearing light wash jeans, one crangler, camo tees.

I had to probably Brett owns. Yeah, this isn't that far off from Brett. Does Brett kind of just dress like this? I see a lot of square toed boots. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. All of them, I think. I don't think a single I don't see a single. I just I don't know if it's everyone's worst nightmare, man.

No, I mean, like, are you going to familiar with your game? Are they going to get jumped? Yeah. Is that the implication here? Like, am I going to be annoyed with your presence? Maybe at times, but like- Are you gonna bother us? I'm not like scared. I'm not scared for my life.

I'm wondering why two of them have pencil thin mustaches. Like, are they going through a buffet phase? You know, if they're not careful, they're gonna get frat stomped by the frat guys. Like this dude, the dude in the middle really wants people to know that he wants to kill some fucking birds. Oh yeah. Oh, your waterfall?

I'm gonna kill you. David, we used to frats frat stomp guys all time remember that I don't know if we did do you guys remember when TFM did a like a collab with a what was it called like a I mean essentially a company that takes you on like duck hunts really a guide I don't remember that I remember when I before I started working at Grand Ex, I started going deep in the thing and I was like, damn, this is a frat collaboration, dude.

That's fucking frat. Can you zoom in? I don't know if you can, cause you have like a computer from 1999. That's an old Russia. Dude on the far left, he's wearing a hat that I think we need to get for Brett, but I think we need to modify it.

Does that say Hondo? It says Hondo. I've seen Hondo. Cause we could easily edit this. Two Hondo. Cause we could easily edit this. Two Hondo hats. We could easily edit this. So you gotta put a guy in between the two Mondo hats or Hondo hats.

Those mustaches are really bad. Dude, they're bad. They're bad. Are these guys in on Morgan Wallen or they moved on? They like Wallens out. They love Morgan Wallen. I feel like they're on like the next thing. These are the bigger fans of Morgan Wallen after all he's

done. So when you see a video of like some some dude up there singing a song and someone throws a beer at the stage and like the guy stops the show. One of these guys through the beer at the stage. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Why is it? Why would a frat guy? Why would why would they not want to see a bunch of dudes drinking Miklo of Ultras? These guys look like they would be fairly friendly to the frat guy. This is kind of what they dress like now.

I kind of feel like this is what just frat guys dress like in Texas now. That you're not wrong. They're drinking Miklop Ultras. Like you can't flex at your heart and people are scared of you when you're drinking a Miklop Ultra. Yeah.

Don't get me wrong, I love a Miklop Ultra. Catch me on the course drinking Ultras. But I know what it's like. It's not an alpha drink. Yeah, what I'm holding what I'm not like. Oh step to me, bro These type of guys that would get in a fight outside of a sports arena Just because there's looking for shit to these guys probably each of these guys has either a tic-tac account that still lives with a Really insufferable video of them like looking at the screen or they've since deleted that account after getting roasted by their boys. Oh, they're lip syncing some like Jason Aldean song? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What's the skin on those boots on the far left, Dave? Can you zoom in on those? I think they're just gator. Oh yeah. My initials are, I saw some Cayman over there. Lotta gator, these are all gator. Yeah, no Cayman, but I did see somebodyman over there. My lot of Gator home. These are all Gator. Yeah. No Cayman, but I did see somebody drinking some cider.

Right. All square tone. Shaking my head. This is West Texas. You know what? I love that these guys get together. Let's take the most insufferable pick. We're gonna put a caption on it

and let's just throw it out on the net and just see what happens. We'll go out. We'll forget we did it for the next 24 hours and then we'll just see what happens. So with this being Oxford and how they're dressed, is this Brett's sweatshirt? Brett would be boys with these guys. Oh yeah, Brett would find his way over to this group

and just strike up a conversation about. They'd be lutes. We gotta get Brett a chain to wear outside of one of his, Wyoming t-shirts. He should have a chain. Yeah, Brett, we gotta get Brett a chain to wear outside of one of his. Wyoming, do you should have a chain? Yeah, but we got to get bread a chain. Oh, the rookies are in action. Love that. Croquis back. Do you ever went away? Do you guys want to auction off the Roddy

gentlemen croquis I found in my car the other day? I don't know if they're going to go crazy. You found those in your car. Dude, I can't tell you. I have no clue why they're in the car. That means they made it from your last card of this one. But like one, I don't remember acquiring these. I no clue why they're in the car. That means they made it from your last car to this one. But like, one, I don't remember acquiring these. I've never used them, I don't know why I have them.

I don't know how they could have even possibly made it into this car because yeah, when I acquired this, it must have been years ago. That's so confusing. A&M colors, tough. Dude, maybe a Shacker put them in there. Dude. You typically didn't have to worry about I'm confused. It's confusing. A&M colors tough. Dude, maybe a shack or put him in there.

Dude, you typically didn't have to worry about young ladies stealing your croquis. No. Yeah, they didn't know ball on their level. Yeah, maybe the occasional hat. You're fine. A hoodie. I had someone steal my favorite pair of croquis and I

haven't replaced them. Remember those? Remember those zany nineties ones that I had that I stole off my dad's cowboy hat? I do remember those. Someone took them. I have some dope masters ones. Did you go? Buddy. You were, you bought croquis at the masters?

I did. What? Okay. It was like, yeah, fuck it. There's a little throw in. She like gets up from like, she's like putting on her stuff. She got class and she's like walking out, got her like heels in her hand. Hey, don't you want to take my croquis? She's like, no, got her like heels in her hand. But don't you want to take my croquis?

She's like, no, I'm good. I'm good. I don't I really don't know, babe. It's fine. I got to actually say, no, I really don't need the croquis. What did you guys used to do on Walk of Shame's Randy Shucker? That's why I wouldn't do that. It's not cool. That's fucked up, dude. Yeah. You feel good about yourself?

They're probably really nice, man. You lose an ally point, my friend. Hey, you do. Actually, you do. Can we move on to my third prong? They were never leaving your room, though, I bet. What do you mean? Like he was holding them captive. Yeah, like he was not.

He wasn't the one hooking up with them. Oh, yeah. They were never in your room to begin. Yes. That's the joke he was going with. Yeah, I thought yeah, you know, because you don't get chicks. Yeah, just me at 911, you know. No God. I don't like what you do with your hand. Yeah, don't do the hand motion.

The hand thing was so hopefully you didn't put the camera on the cameras on. Oh God, Randy always make sure to put the camera on him. You know, take that option away from him. Covered you guys something from the New York Times continuing shrinking the game? Yes. Please. Dylan Scholley said he had been too much of a goody two

shoes to participate in his high school's vape craze. When he tried Zen at 19, during his first semester at college, it seemed like everyone he saw carried a hockey puck-sized container of the chalky nicotine pouches. Athletes, comedians, his roommate, underclassmen traded tips on where to purchase the pouches, which you must be 21 to buy legally without needing an ID. He said, I walk around my campus and I just see little Zin pouches all over, spit on the sidewalk and grass. He's now 21. He's from Maryland and he said, I'd be talking to people and they'd

smile and I'd see it in their upper lip. Bad news though, he got dependent on it. His heart raced. He had anxiety and trouble from sleeping that he hadn't been the case before his nicotine habit. On Super Bowl Sunday, he decided to search the internet for ways to quit. And he found quitting Zin, the online watering hole for people who were trying to give up Zin and other nicotine pouches. Fools, Aaron, right there.

Why Super Bowl Sunday? What happened the night before that made him be like, fuck, I gotta get off this shit. He must have fucking had a night. He woke up with just a bunch of pouches in his mouth His toilet was clogged pouches Is there a photo of him? Yeah, why don't you need a photo shoot? I'll be honest teen he looks like a dude who can't handle his then like come on man. Come on, dude

He's wearing a Henley in 2025. What are you doing? It says members of the reddit group, which is 10,000 strong What are you doing? It says, members of the Reddit group, which is 10,000 strong, write to one another with a kind of muscular camaraderie that makes it sound like they're about to explode from a pregame huddle and charge onto the muddy turf of nicotine cessation. What a stanza there from our friends over the New York Times. After 35, muscular camaraderie dies. Can I give you guys some things,

some words of encouragement that people gave to him to quit? Yes. Let's get it bro. One wrote to cheer on a recent quitter. Keep smashing it said another, adding a flexing bicep emoji. Another, keep your nose to the grindstone and out of the zins.

That's exactly who he's typingstone and out of the zins. That's exactly who's typing. It's just the classic meme. You got it, bro. Dude. Uh, who, okay. Who stands to is a bit, is it cigarette is a big tobacco that wants a. Zen to go away. I'm trying to think like who's infiltrating, creating this group with

pots and stuff to like make it seem like it's a bigger deal than it is. I don't know. Joe camel, Joe camels back there on like hammer, right? With his little hooves is a big coffee. Is it a replacement for that? No, cause they pair so well together. They do. Don't they?

Yeah. Talk about hoping bag of leaves. It's real time. Jesus. Uh, like read that top. They have a sub headline on this article that just says paging Benjies in Franklin. Benjies in. They were like, all right, this this article is not frat enough.

This was so. Do we have any interns from like any schools that are frat wouldn't zinjum in Franklin make more sense than zinjum in Franklin benjyzen doesn't flow quite as well. I mean, yeah, that doesn't even it doesn't even look good on the page. Like it's ugly. Like that's someone that like knows the meme of hitting the Benjamin wine to make it into a zin thing. Benjyzen is what they give you. They prescribe you to get you off your addiction.

Yeah, like that's that's an edit that you and I would have not talked to the remote writer about making. We would have just made it and been like, no, it's just better that way. It was just like, don't ask questions, bro. Actually, my really overweight fat friend over in London got Benjieson way cheaper. Okay. So it says, after he quit, it said, for Mr. Jolie, things have gotten easier with time. In a phone conversation last month, almost a year after we got in touch, he sounded lighter. He barely thought about Zen at all anymore.

He was sleeping much better. He was having insomnia from it. Quitting had not had the disastrous effect on his social life that he had imagined. He said it felt like he could go out with friends occasionally without getting sucked back into the nicotine. I hate when that happens. He had joined a couple film clubs on campus that kept him busy.

I'm probably actually more social now than I was a year ago. Buddy, what are you doing? What are you doing? You don't have to join a film club because you don't want to zen anymore. You don't need to. It's not going to affect anyone's social life. Were you sitting at home freaking out about zenning so much that you just like stop talking to your friends? This isn't a good look. You can throw they have a number of non nicotine, non tobacco pouches.

You could just throw up there if it's the oral fixation or whatever, you know, you want to just have that sweet pouch in your lip. You want to throw in a little hootie hoo up in your lip. Why don't you just vape air? You can do that, too. There you go. He was fuming when he left here. Ha ha. Like this dude can't handle an apple ice breaker. Come on, man. Look, I know there are. Look, obviously, there's some things about nicotine that

you get addicted to. It can affect like your your your blood pressure, things like that. I'm sure I'm sure. But I've never heard of it being there being a social stigma on someone who doesn't do it. Yeah. Did you hear about it? Did you hear about what's his face, dude? Yeah, dude. Narc. He stops zening. Yeah, don't invite him. He doesn't even stop. This weekend, fun rolls around and like we all we all went out and

like don't nobody called Dylan. Dylan's like, what happened? And it's like, sorry, bro. We were, we were, we were not those Lucy's. We replace you with like, sorry, bro. We were, we were, we were those Lucy's. We replace you with somebody who's pros in. We saw that you, we saw that you moved from six to threes and like, we can't have that. It's just like, dude, kind of affecting our aura. Yeah, dude.

Yeah, Randy, that doll you brought home. That life size one. Uh huh. It was Mikasa. You got it out of a vending machine. Yeah, what do you do with that doll? It's really big and lifelike and heavy, but it doesn't have any legs or a head. She gave me my new roommate. I'm going to be a little lonely when my roommate moves out. So I just needs another presence.

You put the screws to that thing. Put in the screws to that thing. Oh, fun show. Okay, sorry. Frat dudes. You're chill. Frat dudes on the Burniverse. Y'all suck right now. Figure it out.
