Dude, it's so miserable. Oh, man. You just end up drinking so much. It's like a four-day weekend. Because it falls on a Thursday. Yeah. How long have you been holstered?
Starting point is 00:00:32 Most people don't have to work Friday. Some people do have to work Friday. I bet many people listening did. And if you did, I apologize. But you're through it now. And onward to Christmas and Hanukkah and Kwanzaa and everything else. What else is there? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Ramadan, which is probably not around this time. So I'm going to stop. We can intro Dylan, maybe Brett. Who knows? Sometimes we throw it to Brett. Sometimes we don't. Dylan, what's up, man? Hey, Dave.
Starting point is 00:01:03 Man, glad to be here. It's a big week. Are you looking at me, or what are you doing? Well, you intro'd me, so I feel like I'm supposed to be talking to you. I don't like you when you look right at me. Oh, I'm sorry. You're so handsome, Dave. I'm just looking him in the eyes right now.
Starting point is 00:01:15 I like to look at that face. I'm off of a six-day bender here, man. I don't look great. Yeah, I can tell. You came in here all unabombered out, man. You had the hoodie on and sunglasses. I don't know what that look was about. I just came off a six-day bender look for Dave.
Starting point is 00:01:29 Hoodie Dave. Yeah, Hoodie Dave's back. Ready to hop in the stew. Yeah, like I said, it's a big week because our lease on our office stuff, I know we're going to talk about it later, but our office lease started yesterday. And it's a big, big week for us. Dude, yeah, we're fully prepared. More on that to come. Yeah, we're so to talk about it later, but our office at least started yesterday, and it's a big week for us. Dude, yeah, we're fully prepared. More on that to come. Yeah, we're so prepared for this.
Starting point is 00:01:49 We don't have our keys yet, man. How do we get in this joint? I don't even know the address. I almost just said it. I know the general direction. What if those guys are still in there? Show up. They better get their asses out. Yeah, it'll be on site. I gotta tell you you it's so
Starting point is 00:02:05 much nicer not having anything to put in there and then just starting from scratch like not moving yeah yeah we're not moving we're just kind of you know okay the property manager emailed me and she was like uh can you give me the name of your moving company and uh their proof of insurance and all this stuff and make sure they they have like you know certain you know lay down material from the hallway whatever i was like yeah we don't have one we'd actually have nothing to move in so uh yeah so stay tuned lady yeah we'll let you know yeah don't be so presumptuous what up to brett though hey guys how's it going i mean good we've literally all just told i told everyone how we are.
Starting point is 00:02:46 I didn't know. I don't normally get intro. You've had since Tuesday to think of something to say and that's what you come up with? Yeah, well, I'm looking. I have a couple things on the burners right now that I'm playing with. Are you putting out fires?
Starting point is 00:02:58 What are you doing? I'm actually cooking. You're creating fires. I'm not creating. Nope, not doing that. You're sitting on your powder? What's going on here? I actually kind of is dry powder.
Starting point is 00:03:07 What's on the burners, bitch? I just got it. There's an email. Not nothing like really good, but some images on the email that I'm pretty excited about. Should we tell people what we have Brett do
Starting point is 00:03:17 whenever he closes a deal? We didn't make him. I think he just does it. I think I suggested it and it started happening i was like i think this should happen brett because because of sean merriman right uncle sean yeah lights out yeah lights out he does that he does the lights out dance and so he just sends a gif of sean merriman doing the lights out dance after every sack he used to do
Starting point is 00:03:39 the lights out which i believe is it was he's supposed to act like he's grabbing an electric fence, right? He's holding a wire. Oh, is that what it is? Yeah, he's holding a wire. He's holding... I never asked him at the barbecue. I always thought he was just doing the... So you guys are related?
Starting point is 00:03:52 Yeah. That's cool. I see it. I would... You got all of the athletic genes from that family, it looks like. You'd think. I hear he also doesn't wear shorts. Did you know Sean Merriman used to date Tia Tequila?
Starting point is 00:04:05 Dude, I feel like she had a run in the NFL. She never played in the NFL. No, I mean... She's very time. Oh, you mean she ran through the NFL. Got it. Okay. I wonder what...
Starting point is 00:04:19 And then she became a neo-Nazi. Is she? No, she was at like a... It's a weird pivot. Well, maybe. She was at a parade why is the first if you type in tequila tequila tequila the first suggested thing to come up is icp after her name insane clown posse yeah oh the thing about those clowns is that they were insane
Starting point is 00:04:37 hey does she ever made appearance at wilmont's will is she a juggalo? No, she's not welcome at Wilmont's. Is she a juggalo? It's hard to say. Guys, this is bad. Twitter, this is back in 2016. Twitter suspends Tia Tequila's account after neo-Nazi tweets. The former social media icon had recently tweeted a photo of herself doing the Nazi salute. Ooh, that's not the move.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Come on. We don't support that, by the way. come on you're a big port that by the way you were a big shot of love fan weren't you is that her reality show yeah don't you still have a dvr tia tequila shot at love yeah you got to think tia tequila is not her birth name not her given name you know is it tiller tia tia we're not sure tia with an l not like me tia was she named after like tortillas double l that makes that sound no tia i know i thought you were saying like the spanish version oh right right right yeah isn't tia ant that's what i'm saying yes did you say that no i was gonna say because my brain if i'm if i'm right about that my brain came up with that on its own. She's Aunt Tequila?
Starting point is 00:05:46 No, that's not her name. No, she spells it T-I-L-A. Oh. I wonder what she's up to. I don't. This article here says she's the alt-right's Asian fetish. It's from the New York Times, so not me. You're just reporting the news. You're not making it.
Starting point is 00:06:01 The alt-right. That's a weird pivot. Is that her LinkedInin uh header yeah real estate professional alt rights asian fetish owner of a bluetooth speaker did you have you changed yours back no you can't why would i have you had a have you had a large resurgence of uh linkedin ads uh actually yeah i have i haven't i've got a bunch in the hopper I need to go approve or disapprove. Hey, why'd you steal Klein's speaker? You know, I cannot confirm nor deny.
Starting point is 00:06:34 You took Klein's speaker out of his F-150? I'm going to say I don't believe Klein's story at all. Wow. Intern Klein got his car rummaged through and apparently all he lost was a Bluetooth speaker. So they passed on what he says sunglasses, his randomly he has an iPod
Starting point is 00:06:54 which... It was jarring when he said that he had an iPod. I would have left that one behind. What, you don't want an iPod where you have to go manly load the music onto it? That's more of an inconvenience than anything. What year is his iPod from? They still make iPods?
Starting point is 00:07:09 Yeah, it's got the click wheel. I don't know. How do you put songs on an iPod? What if it's a Nano? I don't know. The Nano? I used to have one of those. I played Brick on that motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:07:21 Hey, Jose Vargas, congrats. You're in the network. I just accepted 18 requests. The rest of y'all are going to have to wait. One a day? One a day. I might make my LinkedIn private.

Starting point is 00:07:59 They've really cracked down on the practice schedule. That's kind of bullshit. They're worried about kids dying on the practice field. Because it does happen fucking maybe they'll play in a skirt next who knows i'm a football guy mr football i just i'm this i i'm a different character but i have the same voice as me that's cool i'm really giving up did y'all see Dunkville beat the living piss out of the Warriors no I saw that

Starting point is 00:09:06 He was the OC before when Freeze got, you know. Does Matt Patricia count as that? He was doing hookers and stuff on his cell phone. On the sideline? No, I don't think on the sideline. That would be aggressive. He was just coordinating for the recruits, right? Well, you can't use your school-given cell phone.
Starting point is 00:09:23 No, that's a mistake. You got to get a burner. Get that Nextel. Everybody knows that. Imagine if you switched from Nextel, didn't you? Yeah, no, it was Motorola. Oh, yeah. With the Primeco?

Yeah, his stock was higher at one point than it is now. I still root for him. I'm sure he'll get a nice gig as a DC somewhere. He's a good man. He's never done anything
Starting point is 00:09:51 that's made me look at him and be like, you're a jerk. He's a good man. Anyone that can wear a turtleneck and 100 degree heat on the field at DKR, they're alright with me.

Okay. Don't tell people. I don't want people showing up and taking pictures. I'm not telling them where it's going to be. Yeah, no paparazzi.

Starting point is 00:11:22 Cool. To make a Dave joke. I don't think that's a Dave joke. No, it's a classic Dave banter. You're the pervert. Yeah, I'm the 69 guy. Yeah. Yeah, that's me.

Did it say, are you in the right headspace to see information that may hurt you? Is that the... That's the Twitter trend, yes. Is that the most ridiculous thing you've ever seen in your life? If one of you texted me, like,
Starting point is 00:11:54 are you in the right headspace to receive information that's going to hurt you? I'd get more anxiety about whatever you're about to say. Yeah. That just gave me anxiety. That's a Twitter thing that's going on right now yes it has that's fucked up people just texting us they're like moms or something and then waiting for responses back that's mean yeah that's that's cyber bullying yeah the tweet says i just want to say a lot of y'all dump information on your friends at the wrong time without their consent if you know
Starting point is 00:12:24 it's something that could hurt them ask permission before you decide to be messy please so ask them for consent before you just railroad them and then it's the screenshot of the text that says are you in the right headspace the thing about this text is it's she's sending it because it's a blue text so she's like basically praising herself and she's getting ripped apart ripped apart in the the replies they're like yeah do not do this i will punch you in the face well it's like when someone if someone butt dials me i just assume like something devastating happened yeah whenever i get a phone call at this point i'm like oh what's wrong that's why i call y'all yeah that's why dave called whenever Whenever Dave's on a drive more than a half hour, I know I'm getting a phone call.

Starting point is 00:16:47 that he was having a good time. I got my daily check-ins via FaceTime, which was nice, but the kid had a blast. Pretty low-key things given for your boy, though.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Did he FaceTime you every day to get checked in, Dave? Every other. Yeah? Yeah, he was telling me about all the dope shit he was doing.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Did you know he went hang gliding? No. Fuck, I wasn't supposed to tell you. Someone should have filled his father in on that. He went hang gliding. Wow. He made it. He survived. They have a harness small enough for him and those things?

Starting point is 00:17:34 That's tight. The plane he went up in? Yeah, the zero gravity plane. Yeah, they rented a plane. Didn't they do that on The Bachelor and someone just started throwing up immediately? Yeah, they baby birded. I have no desire to do that it sounds terrifying oh i do it you just plummet toward earth real fast it makes you feel like you're floating am i the only member of this podcast who's jumped out of a plane yes tight i will never ever ever ever do that i don't know
Starting point is 00:18:00 if i would do it again so if you're if your plane is careening toward the ocean and you're about to die you're not going to jump out no you're just going down with the ship better fam it's been a good run peace dog if you jump out into the water you survive everybody knows that 100 survival rate there yeah because it's water right you just do a toothpick toothpick is the move if you're going if you're like falling at a high velocity though i feel like it'd break your feet yeah you don't want to do a back buster you don't yeah you want to just cut through the water you're not gonna flying squirrel out of a crashing plane watermelon yeah what's the what's the dive where you don't put your hands out is it a sailor dive uh no a sailor dive is where you i think no a sailor dive is where you
Starting point is 00:18:48 clamp down your arms and legs so that you don't go very far down right i don't know what's you're talking about where you jump in and it's just your head going straight first in i don't know what that's called but it's classic i loved that was my move it's a classic i could i could never do like a dolphin i don't know it's definitely a crowd pleaser will you can you figure this out you got to figure this out for us brett it's gonna it's gonna piss me off so i mean did you jump off a plane this weekend no no i didn't oh okay i did it when i was 18 i did confirmed sailor dive i dude i thought a sailor dive was something else i might be thinking why is that a sailor dive i don't know i think be thinking of something else. Why is that a sailor dive?
Starting point is 00:19:25 I don't know. Hard to say. Yeah, the faint sailors used to do that. They made them walk the plank. Pirates? Oh, man. The weather got so bad in Harvard that we had a freighter going to the bay for protection. Is that big news there? I thought you were going Edmund Fitzgerald lyrics for a second.
Starting point is 00:19:40 No, I mean. I got so excited. It's pretty much that. Maybe it. The gales in November turned. Maybe it is plank related because you usually have your hands tied behind your back. In sailor dive, your hands are down, you know? If I ever have to walk the plank,
Starting point is 00:19:53 I'm going to do a can opener or something. I'm going to do a gainer off it. Or a preacher seat. It seems like you're not going to find yourself in that situation. Yeah, you hear Dave? We lost Dave last summer. What what happened i got pushed off a plank walk the plank yeah it was crazy i'm the podcast host now what brett the uh like you ever like at amusement parks they have the high dive thing where people jump from like 90 feet yeah you
Starting point is 00:20:22 see that shit they used to have them at like places normally like central market like 90 feet? Yeah. You see that shit? They used to have them at places normally. Not central market. Not 90 feet. No, not 90 feet. I think they are. The ones at amusement parks are ridiculously high. Maybe it's someone trained to jump. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Oh, yeah, yeah. No, they used to have high dives at public pools that were way too big. Okay, but I don't think you're... I'm not saying they're nine stories up, Dylan. That's not what I'm saying. I'm underestim i'm saying 90 feet i would say they are 40 that's still really really high i know yeah i know yeah i don't think they do them anymore because i think they're wildly dangerous because people started getting in yeah this was like in the 50s and 60s they had like these high dives and it was just very unsafe aren't you a professional shallow diver dave well no certainly not all right i'm not even familiar with that it's where people jump from like 20 feet into a pool of water that's like a foot and a half deep oh that that sounds like
Starting point is 00:21:24 something they used to do in traveling shows. Yeah. Like the 20s. Absolutely. Then people kept getting hurt for some reason. It's a foot and a half of water. Yeah, you've got to think. How do you even...
Starting point is 00:21:35 You can't sail or dive into a foot and a half of water. No, you just backbuster. Yeah, that's really dangerous. What are we talking about how everyone's thanksgiving went we just i just want to be clear about i want to be clear about something we started this segment five minutes ago and this is where we are did you five minutes ago we have no idea how anyone's thanksgiving has gone oh yeah it was pretty good okay yeah it was really really enjoyable thanksgiving i was low-key hoping i would get snowed in

Dude, yeah, your adrenaline just... You got to be like in adrenaline dump mode
Starting point is 00:22:33 where you're just out. Oh, I crashed when I finally got done driving. Blizzard driving ain't no joke. And then Sally started taking us down these back roads and I was like, what are you doing? Stop. Just terrible navigator. How far is the drive without blizzard conditions it's almost always exactly four hours yesterday took me five and a half not the worst
Starting point is 00:22:56 not the worst but bad i mean because i've you know you hear horror stories where it's like a 10 hour it doubles your trip or something you know what the worst part was i was so tense during the entire thing that i told sally we couldn't listen to music so we went silent for five hours wow damn i wanted i wanted my my senses to be heightened you didn't put on the rogan alex jones no throwing a stick of five gum i can't i'll never listen to that episode again i'll never finish that episode my thoughts scream at me when i listen to that in the voice of alex jones i didn't do shit this break besides like drink ipas and play fetch with rosie i barely drank any beer wow i drank a lot of vodka you didn't have one i did have one but i did i was drinking tuli like the entire time.

Starting point is 00:25:06 So, uh, yeah, I had it before. Yeah. I'm going to get people coming at me, huh? I mean,
Starting point is 00:25:12 I'm not going to disagree. I don't drink it that much. Shouts to Shiner. I do enjoy the cheers. Fantastic. They do. They do some okay seasonals. That's not exactly a,
Starting point is 00:25:20 a super endorsement, but it's fine. It used to be my panic order beer. You know that, right? Yeah. Oh, it's it used to be my panic order beer you know that right yeah oh it's it's still my panic order beer if i'm just up there and their their beer selection's like not great and i don't trust whatever local ipa i'll just give me a shiner yeah or a lone star there's worse places to be they do three dollar lone stars at uh the oak that's too much money for a lone star yeah you gotta be paying like four dollar ever clear jello shots well i $3 Lone Stars at the Oak. That's too much money. For a Lone Star? Yeah, you got to be paying like $2 for that. And $4 Everclear Jell-O shots.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Well, I don't do that. Can you even do that in Texas? Who the hell is buying that? Your boy bought one. Yikes. Did you do some with your mom this weekend? No. We just drank a shit ton of wine and shiner cheer. I would be content with never doing another Jell-O shot in my life.
Starting point is 00:26:03 I like them. Their point outs suck. I don't even think they get you drunk, so I don't mind doing it. I don't either. I'm doing another Jell-O shot in my life. I like them. Jell-O shots suck. I don't even think they get you drunk, so I don't mind doing them. I don't either. I'm just eating Jell-O. Stick your finger in there and it's all like, just stop. Every party barge you've ever been on had just a cooler full of them. Someone's always very excited, like, I made 5,000 Jell-O shots last night.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Cool. I'm like, I'm not having any of them. Yeah. You know the prep ruined their kitchen too? Oh, yeah. Jell-O shots are not easy to make. They're the most overrated party thing of all time. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Although, dude, July 4th on a boat, give me a Jell-O shot. Hey, they're not eco-friendly. The amount of trash, it's worse than a K-Cup, arguably. Dude, Jell-O shots may be the new K-Cups. I hear the dude that created them hates himself because he's creating so much waste for the world. Mr. Shot. The K-Cup guy really just super depressed
Starting point is 00:26:51 about what he's doing to the environment. Apparently he is, yeah. That's interesting. Wouldn't you be? I want to confirm. He's living in a mansion somewhere. I was going to say, yeah. I feel really bad for him just sitting in his mansion
Starting point is 00:27:00 crying over the fortune that's just rolling in constantly. K-Cup creator John Sylvan regrets inventing Keurig coffee pod system. The man who invented the K-Cup coffee pod almost 20 years ago says he regrets doing so and can't understand the popularity of the products that critics decry as an environmental catastrophe. Okay, well. Shout out to him. They are super convenient and easy to use.
Starting point is 00:27:26 Yeah, if I were him, I would regret it because it's a subpar coffee product. Oh, buddy. Dog. Damn. You just go there, Dave? I just went there. I'm a coffee guy. Nah, Keurig smell better than they actually are.
Starting point is 00:27:43 It took everything in my power today to drive by CVS and not stop and grab a gigantic Red Bull. When's the last time you had one? Tuesday. You know what? I'm proud of you. Tuesday? You haven't even made it a week. Hey, people are saying that's why your mom... He's doing a good job, Will. Is that why your mom came into town? I was with you Tuesday and you relapsed in front of us?
Starting point is 00:28:00 I relapsed before I was in front of you guys. That's messed up. Actually, maybe it wasn't Tuesday. Maybe it's been like Monday. Maybe it's been a week. I thought it was Monday. One week. Yeah. Brad, people were saying that your mom came in town to like take care of you as you went through like withdrawals and shit.
Starting point is 00:28:14 I mean, I'm not going to deny that. I was like, Mom, can I get a Red Bull? And she was like, nope. She's a real one. She is a real one. Well, we just did copious amounts of wine and food instead. That's tight. Yeah. I was at a gas station on my way back and thought about buying one just for the bit like doing a social bit like hey brett look at i'm drinking then i was like you know what that's a
Starting point is 00:28:35 waste of a dollar 69 are they that cheap that's like that's like you're friends quit smoking you're gonna wave a pack of cigarettes in front of his face like what are you doing just blast i like that i'm gonna yeah i'm trying to start you know yeah you gotta test them dude come on man you gotta test how bad they actually want it i will say though like i i've noticed a caffeine has a very very much an effect on me yeah i mean you for someone who's been drinking that much red bull of course it's gonna have an effect on you. When I go to Barley Bean after this, your boy is going to smash an espresso. Probably 16-ounce, too.
Starting point is 00:29:12 You can't drink 16 ounces of espresso. Well, you can't, but 16-ounce is dirty. It's a chai latte with a shot of espresso. Hey, if you just wait a few days, I can make you a little espresso. Dude, don't break the news too soon, dude. I'm just saying. Dude, don't break the news too soon, dude. I'm just saying. Dude, don't break the news.
Starting point is 00:29:27 Just saying. You got an espresso on board? I did. Hey, does the Nespresso guy, does he hate himself too? You got to think, no. That was a response to K-Cup, right? I don't know. Is that a pod system too?
Starting point is 00:29:43 Yeah, but it's metal. Are they the original podcast oh so you reused them that was good you reused them no you absolutely did not reuse them well then what the fuck what are they doing i don't know it's just irresponsible it's a podcast about pod systems oh we just we just each one we do a different story on the origin of the k-cup flavor dude we should do a micro we should do a five-minute-a-week micropod. It's just called Coffee Roasters, and we just try new coffees and just make fun of them. There's only so many things you could say about a cup of coffee.
Starting point is 00:30:17 That's why it's only five minutes once a week. Oh, dude, this coffee sucks. There's also only so many things you can say about rating cheese pizza. That bit has still gone on remarkably remarkably well i had dinner with my dad last week he told me that he's in search of the world's greatest cup of coffee like he's he's buying it like from all over the internet just to find the perfect bean it's really it's actually really funny yeah he's trying to find you said you were trying to do that via the internet too? You were trying to find the bean, right? No, it wasn't a cup of coffee.
Starting point is 00:30:50 What are y'all doing? I like that he's all in. He's trying to find the perfect cup of coffee. Does he want to come over to my place so I can make him one? He might have to swing by the new office. More on that later. Let's just tease the entire episode. Dude, we're just teasing the entire episode not actually talk about
Starting point is 00:31:05 we're just teasing not actually going to talk about hey mr shivery stay tuned well did you my dad doesn't know how to listen to a podcast that's pretty funny did you get my dad has no clue do you get the stuff for the moat yet what what am i getting for the moat alligators oh was i supposed to was that me yeah did i send you guys that no you know you didn't invoice us at all fuck i'll have my dad send it i haven't there's an alligator head in my bedroom at my parents house we want do we want that in the stew because we can get it it's not going to match our ski lodge uh but it's an alligator head it's like an actual preserved really alligator i get it you're not joking no i meant to send it to you guys and say, hey, do you want this?
Starting point is 00:31:46 Wait, why do they have that? Because my dad used to buy random shit just to piss my mom off, and then he would put it in my bedroom. And so I had this eclectic bedroom growing up, just random shit. Alligator heads and shit? That's right. It's an actual alligator head. Or maybe a crocodile. What's smaller, crocodile or alligator?
Starting point is 00:32:00 You got to think the gator's smaller. It has a round nose. That's a gator. Oh, yeah. That's a gator there, bud. Well, I thought smaller. It has a round nose. That's a gator. Oh, yeah. That's a gator there, bud. Oh, I thought the croc had the round nose. Crocs have the more square nose. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:32:12 I think you're wrong. Let's look it up. Look it up on the web, mate. Survey says... Did you Google alligator nose? Yeah, I do. I think I have a gator. I think it's a gator.
Starting point is 00:32:23 It's gotta be a baby gator though but this is wait so which one has a round one crocodile nose they're both kind of round this definitely not a crocodile this this is much more prehistoric looking crocodiles are scary as fuck oh yeah it's crazy they can live forever did you know that brad dave have you finished uh righteous gemstones yet i have not okay well what you're doing right now you're gonna enjoy it we'll see brett there's a theory that a crocodile if given the proper living conditions can live forever really yeah why is why is that just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger but eventually there's not enough food
Starting point is 00:33:00 to sustain life so they die that's too bad i'm on the uh i'm on the crocodilian biology database right now that's crocodilian.com for anyone trying to find my favorite website it's my home page uh a alligator has a rounder nose than a crocodile damn it thank you come on fuck but is it like noticeable from the'll say this. From the Google images, I wasn't seeing it, but I'm not much of a crocodilian biologist. You've had one in your room for 25 years. A crocodilian biologist. I'm on the database. Don't say the database.
Starting point is 00:33:38 The shape of the jaw. The easiest way of telling crocodiles from alligators, however, is to look at their noses. Alligators and caimans have a wide u dylan didn't they used to call you the caiman no i have some caiman boots though oh yeah that's what i'm saying no i don't get i don't get your joke because you always wear those boots that's not why okay at wilmonds you know how they have like lobster tanks at grocery stores you just have a tank of caimans that's that's tight cayman is a little bad i haven't been yet i probably should swing by you know i i was i have a i have a vip area set aside after the christmas party for
Starting point is 00:34:15 everybody at wilmonds yeah yeah i've kind of i so i actually didn't go home for thanksgiving i just uh spent the entire time in my apartment learning Christmas music on my steel drum that I got. No shit. Yep. I bet you that would sound so tight. Dude, so tight. Wow. So tight.
Starting point is 00:34:34 Do we have anything? So everyone had a good Thanksgiving. That's good to know. Yeah, it came in. I had a good time. I got to spend it with my friends and family. What was the best thing on your plate oh my mac and cheese fucked is that what your mom said too when she tried it yeah she's eating she's like brett this fucks yeah we had a good stuffing too
Starting point is 00:34:56 yeah i had a great stuffing or a dressing it's it's stuffing to me i've never called a dressing so i don't i don't Picked up a couple of pies at Central Market, and they were so good. Wow, dude. Yeah. You really went all out preparing. Well, they knew I couldn't fuck that up. I asked my mom if she had store-bought pumpkin pies or regular, and she was so offended. I was like, yeah, that was kind of an insulting question.
Starting point is 00:35:19 She's never bought them before. I had some pumpkin pie that was delightful. I ate hella banana bread my mom knows i like the banana bread so she prepped two loaves for me and i've just i just ate it i have frozen bananas right now huge i'm ready to get going on sally and i got a green bean casserole off that it went well we had rave reviews um my parents sent me home with a turkey like a whole turkey uncooked and i will be doing a full brine full smoke stay tuned wow you're mashing the smocking button i i hit up the meat church in woxahatchee texas i don't know if you guys have seen this the meat church guy on instagram there's a lot of people who know who he is i'm to it, but he has like a little pop-up store, some shit in Waxahachie, Texas, home of the Indians.
Starting point is 00:36:07 And I went down there and had a nice little afternoon. I went by there, bought some seasoning, bought some stuff, talked to some shop with one of the guys. Then I went over to a little burger joint, waited 30 minutes for a very, very good hamburger. And then I was on my way home. Did you get any cumin rubs or anything? No, no cumin, so cool cool i got the voodoo who do the tenders from popeyes those are terrible by the way did
Starting point is 00:36:37 we review those the popeyes no we didn't because i i i the more i looked into them it is a it is a miss a swing and a miss that i feel like they dodged that bullet. No one's talking about it because of the chicken sandwich. Yeah. I remember I saw the commercial for it and I was like, Dave, we should do a review of these on the pod. And then the more I looked into it, I was like, man, I'm good. Yeah, I wasn't. I went for it.
Starting point is 00:36:58 Not good. I have an admission to make. I had McDonald's not once this break, but twice. Oh, no. Airport McDonald's? No. No. Side of the highway McDonald's not once this break, but twice. Oh, no. Airport McDonald's? No. No. Side of the highway McDonald's.
Starting point is 00:37:09 Two side of the highway McDonald's. I know there's a lot of McDonald's in Harbor. No. So we were strapped on time. And what I realized was that the easiest possible fast food to eat when you're on the road and driving is their chicken nuggets. Yeah. The nugget is... They're so controlled but you can't dip they're
Starting point is 00:37:27 so in control no so sally would sit next to me and she would hold it and then she would she would ask what sauce do you want and then she would dip it and then i'd take it the little sweet and sour the green is some of the best sauce i think they changed the recipe really it was weird it was weird we had had it i will say the barbecue is actually somehow good. Yeah. Barbecue sauce, Popeye's barbecue sauce, Burger King barbecue sauce, Chick-fil-A barbecue sauce, and McDonald's barbecue sauce all are better than anything you can buy in a store. Wow.
Starting point is 00:37:58 That's a claim. That's a take. Hey, I saw something either to or from Cabo at the airport that I never reported on. It was either we had our flight changed in Houston at Hobby. I think it was Hobby. And a woman got on the plane with her Buffalo Wild Wings that she had acquired from the airport. So she just brought her wings onto the plane. I couldn't believe it did you
Starting point is 00:38:25 do you ask for one no were they boneless or bone in i didn't see i just saw bone in wings on a plane you're the scum of the earth the psycho move she was lined up in front of me like two people down you know i was i was group a and she she just had this like full thing and it wasn't it was still tied up she hadn't been eating it and had to come over she hadn't even opened it yet i was like you're gonna that's gonna smell so good maybe she doesn't have b-dubs where she was going to and she just wanted to bring some to mexico is there a b-dubs in mexico yeah but it's called bay's not no i just got a text yeah it said that uh our our guy our commercial real estate guy he has our keys oh that's big yeah so we we will have access today let's talk let's talk about our friends over at hymns and then break down this new office situation that we

And once you started seeing it thinning, it's too late, Brett. That's why I got on it, Will. I hopped on.

Starting point is 00:50:32 I look like the Hunchback from Notre Dame. It's better than Ross's. Ross's back is just like a piece. It's like a... I feel like Ross's spine is the consistency of an airhead. It's just gelatin? Yeah, like it just molds to whatever. Oh. I used to love it when he would just record podcasts and just find himself like with his head like on the seat yeah just sinking down every single just the worst posture of all time on that
Starting point is 00:50:56 kid man so seriously who's buying the furniture yeah how are you doing this is this something we're going we're going to look today should we have figured this out like two weeks ago yeah we really snuck up on us so i got i was getting quotes from like furniture companies and they're like well how many people i'm like four and then they were just the the prices they were giving were ridiculous and they wanted to do filing cabinets i'm like we don't need that stuff we just need like a desk fight i would love a filing filing cabinet for the files all the files we have no we're keeping the files in the computer do we have like a server we're all digital dave do we want a server people were doing like okay here's your it needs i'm like no no we need like a router they want to do like full service turnkey
Starting point is 00:51:39 projects it's like no no i don't think you understand what we're doing here i just need a service to put my laptop we basically need to build out like an apartment is what we need for four guys in a studio in a restaurant should we put bunk beds in there nope okay we should have why can you have bunk beds but i can't have a hammock we should have a mattress for klein yes we should yeah yeah we could just get like a king size and just all record from that. So we're like... It might be kind of weird, man. Charlie's Chocolate Factory style. Is that what they did?
Starting point is 00:52:11 The old people did. Here's a big question. What shape studio table do we want? We want the V kind so we can like set up for video? Yes. Is it shaped like a V because it's for video? No. Is that just a coincidence?
Starting point is 00:52:22 Because you stare at each other and the camera at the same time. It's kind of like a two-for-deal. Yes. What did you think of Ross' setup? His video setup? I thought it was nice. I liked it. Let's just rip that idea then.
Starting point is 00:52:34 I don't think they invented it. Video? Yeah. They're not the first. The studio that Ross records in didn't invent video? To my knowledge, they didn't. Maybe they did.
Starting point is 00:52:43 I don't know. I thought it was pretty good yeah i don't remember the shape of the yeah it's like a tv wow yeah we need plasma whatever is you ever heard of it you guys we need a monitor to to i want to be able to look at stuff and pull up uh viral vids and memes mainly the memes vines vines Vines. Hell yeah. You on Vine? No. Peach. You ever use the Peach app?
Starting point is 00:53:08 Dude, Peach. I did at one point. Peach was electric. That was a great like six day run they had. Dave's still on Peach. He's waiting for everybody else to follow suit. Were you ever on Peach? I don't know what Peach is.
Starting point is 00:53:19 It's pretty surprising. What a loser. What are you guys doing? Are you serious? You guys ever have Yik Yak? You weren't on Peach? You ever do Yik Yak? No.
Starting point is 00:53:28 That was like... Wasn't that very problematic? Yeah. Your college had like a Yik Yak. It was like Northeastern Yik Yak. You could just post whatever you want into this giant... It was just a giant message board. It was just a comment section for college kids.
Starting point is 00:53:44 It was insane. And it went to your phone how about the whisper app you ever use that no it was just people would like they would just put like secrets on it oh so it wasn't just voice memos of people whispering it wasn't the original asmr app wait do you see my app this doc has officially been shared with you guys we're doing a thing dylan we're so official sharing docs right now davy are we administrators to it can we edit it or just comment maybe you have a google account you're gonna need it to open this doc it's just called calls for things for office my favorite thing my favorite thing is that like dave might have been sending emails from spookyooky Seasons email for a month and not realizing it.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Yeah, that's true. Dave's killing it. I did that from the worst of the other day. Dave, we're not doing jokes on this sheet. What? Dave just added waffle maker to the list. Do you not want waffles? Yeah, would that be something that didn't enhance the office?
Starting point is 00:54:45 Dude, can we get an omelet stand? Dude, let's get an omelet stand. I'm not going to repeat what Dave just put on there. You can't do that. We're not just putting an omelet stand. A taco bar for Micah when he stops by? Okay, Dave. Doesn't our new coffee maker have voice commands it's not voice activated wait did
Starting point is 00:55:10 you see my trip yikes did you like the one that i just put on there yeah that was pretty good dave i'm not gonna repeat it i don't think I have access to this doc. I shared it with you, dumbass. I just got an email from DocuSign saying that they're having a 25% sale. So we can hop on that for the new office. We already have an account. We have six accounts. We've all separately downloaded or started a DocuSign thing.
Starting point is 00:55:40 I just got an email from a store that emailed me no less than 12 times this weekend. Cyber Monday sale up to 90% off. They're just giving shit away now. Styles from $8. Wow. You can't be doing that. No. Do you want to read?
Starting point is 00:55:57 Yeah, Dave, read what you just put in here. Let's see. Lamps. That's not what that says. This one seems like a splurge, Dave. Gross. Uh, we need to have some, uh, some scented candles. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:17 Uh, allow me. Incense, uh, some sage to cleanse the place. Do you have sage yet? We need to burn it immediately. I have super sage i was up there so you can smell it okay i was up there sunday and i think there might be an entity okay what i'm saying is our office might be haunted what we need we need a sunday scary's co-branded candle with the company so we just get free ones that we can just light in the office
Starting point is 00:56:40 talk to clay let's just blaze bonner's been trying to get you to do that for like i know now well now that the weather's cooled down, we can ship them officially. Oh, yeah. That was a problem. It's a problem. It's like when you're in a wine club and you can't ship it to Texas at certain times because it'll ruin the wine. That's a reason not to move to Texas. So you can't get scented candles
Starting point is 00:56:58 off all the time? And the wine club thing. To be fair, I had someone say, I bought a scented candle last summer in Michiganigan and they sent it in august to texas and it arrived completely fine i did freak out though and i got the package and i was like oh shit this thing's gonna be melted you think the kids are saying that now instead of send it they're saying sent it yeah like scented candles uh-huh i don't think i don't think that's yeah like when Like when they trim the wick.
Starting point is 00:57:25 Scented! Scented! Yeah, probably not. Oh, did you ski this break? I didn't. I didn't. You said you were going to do like seven things and you did one of them? Yeah, I was kind of a scumbag this trip.
Starting point is 00:57:37 I think you just threw the ball for Rosie the whole time. To be fair, to be fair. Sally was sick. Sally was sick on the trip. Dude, does Sally get sick all the time? Dude, she's burning the candle at both ends. Yeah yeah scented it was yeah scented candle at both ends scented scented yeah it was unfortunate so it kind of took it kind of took away from my ski area time a little bit but i think you couldn't you couldn't get reps in before the dylan no i
Starting point is 00:57:59 did get i did get some intel about how to deal with the altitude though since that's something i'm not well versed in drink a lot of water i'm not telling you what to do i handle it well i just don't sleep well which i guess is kind of not handling it well but that's the only thing that really affects me is my sleep is that why you said you're going to take like all the gummies from the dispensary so you just pass out every night i didn't say that but i i'm not above doing that yeah i might i might actually we're gonna get peanut butter cookie edibles i i will fuck i will fuck with that because when you're high the thing you need most is a dryer mouth from the peanut butter cookies they have like a an edible that has melatonin in it like a thc melatonin maybe yeah i'm sure
Starting point is 00:58:40 far out like you right out is there anything else we need for this damn office let's look at the munchies so bad from I'm sure. Far out. Lucky right out. Is there anything else we need for this damn office? I still get the munchies so bad from eating gummies. Like, so bad. You're sitting there eating bowls of ice cream and shit? I'm just in bed with a bag of Doritos at like 12 a.m. I heard you're not supposed to shop in Breckenridge. You shop in Denver.
Starting point is 00:58:59 Like, do you get your grocery run out of the way? Or else you get fucked in Breckenridge. That makes all the sense in the world. Yeah. So we should think about that. Okay. I should buy my ticket for this trip, of the way or else you get fucked? That makes all the sense in the world. Yeah. So we should think about that. Okay. I should buy my ticket for this trip, by the way. What?
Starting point is 00:59:09 Yeah. Yeah. I have the house on lockdown. I just don't have my ticket yet. Do y'all need to get Lyft tickets? Yes. Yeah. Get stupid Lyfted.
Starting point is 00:59:19 Okay. I still got to figure out what I'm going to do. Yeah. Any Breck backers out there with a connection to lift tickets hit us up preferably free would be ideal thank you email me if you have lift tickets
Starting point is 00:59:33 if anybody wants to get hey and if you're an instructor and you want to give me a ski lesson oh Will you should be an instructor I don't want to be one of y'all I can help you out those are pro yeah just pizza dave you're good french fry pizza yeah remember i taught that brazilian dude what i told that story i taught a brazilian oh yeah yeah yeah i remember
Starting point is 00:59:56 that okay yeah i i feel like i'm gonna pick it up but i don't know i like to you're a hockey player that's easy i gotta start doing lunges really work on those quads oh you're gonna be the sorest motherfucker if you're gonna wear a helmet I feel like most people do yeah
Starting point is 01:00:12 like 99% of people do yeah I will yeah I don't know I don't know what to do about that I tried on my helmet from home that was in my closet
Starting point is 01:00:19 and I was like man I should probably bring I should probably get this shit to me yeah it turns out it doesn't fit I have one but it's very... Gaper-ish? I'm a Texas guy going skiing, gaper-ish. The worst look you can have is when your helmet's riding back on your head
Starting point is 01:00:36 and your goggles and there's a gap. That's what the term comes from. Oh, is it? Yeah, it's a gape. We didn't use gaper. You used Jerry. No, we didn't use Jerry. Just the Jerry of the day.
Starting point is 01:00:47 Very funny. I'm going to just wear my Jofa helmet from roller hockey. That's a flex. Nice, dude. That's a flex. Instead of ski poles, you just have hockey sticks. That'd be a look. So I saw that Alyssa got a cowboy hat.
Starting point is 01:01:00 She did? I believe you have one very similar. Are y'all going to be matching? We'll see. Okay. I didn't think Breckenridge was like a western town you don't get like western fits off don't tell us that Breckenridge probably not so much I've been there one time just passing through
Starting point is 01:01:18 I've been to Steamboat Springs and that's a pretty western-y feeling town yeah you're right, Yeah, you're right. I guess you're right. What's that look like? Y'all got to stop putting jokes on this. This is for real. It's not a joke.
Starting point is 01:01:34 It's for real. Shut up, dude. Do we have a patio? Don't share a Google Doc with us if you don't want our input. Can we have a meditation room? First goal should probably be the studio okay fine wow good idea i wish someone would have said that earlier that made sense we'll get there we got to do the the acoustic paneling too soundproofing yeah so you can play guitar in there and stuff well that's your job
Starting point is 01:02:03 So you can play guitar in there and stuff? Well, that's your job. Okay. Dude, don't bring your guitar to Breckenridge, please. Well, I mean like... He carries it on. Don't you get two free bags with Southwest? Yeah, you don't have to. Yeah, we don't need an avalanche to happen.
Starting point is 01:02:15 It'll be good. Is that like a flood warning at altitude? Yeah, it's just frozen. Yeah. That's pretty good. glad you guys got that pretty good glad you guys got that avalanches are scary
Starting point is 01:02:33 as fuck man yeah I don't plan on going and doing much terrain that is like avalanche prone no cause I'm not gonna wear a helmet so I'm just gonna go
Starting point is 01:02:41 just I'm just gonna do fun rides yeah I'm gonna bad boy it too no helmet yeah so we're we're ripping black D's with uh no helmets oh yeah yeah i'll be helmet i'm going helmet i'm i'm i i'll say this i think i might go helmet we'll see i'm gonna bring mine i'll bring mine too i plan on going hard enough to where i'm gonna be like i need a helmet people are gonna be
Starting point is 01:03:05 like dude if you're gonna do what you're what you're trying to do you need a helmet just in case you're gonna go to the uh what's a little park where you can grind and shit the terrain park terrain park there's gonna be just grinding i don't plan on doing any terrain parking i'm sorry i feel like my grinding days are behind me i tried to grind one time and i fell and i was like i don't know why i tried to do that i hit a couple rails when I was doing the turkey trot. I'm just going to go straight down the middle of the pipe. No, you can't do that. That's how I do it.
Starting point is 01:03:31 When you talk, I bet your poles are directly in the air to point at the sky. This is so stupid. How do you stop on skis? Do you hockey stop? Yeah, that's basically it. Unless you're a beginner you pizza make a triangle you gotta be going fast enough to how you stop though
Starting point is 01:03:51 oh yeah that makes sense if you if you spray snow oh yeah oh hell yeah i'm gonna spray your ass that's my move i just sprayed people it's so mean people off dude oh if someone if someone sprays me it's on site i'm spraying the fuck no it's on what if we all just spray will like no no less than 20 times have you ever seen have you guys ever seen someone sopping wet at the end of the day have you seen a botched spray before like it just can it can ruin your ankles yeah but like we're we're good enough that it won't happen yeah so we just keep spraying you you're not spraying me look just don't stop near the base one spray and you're getting a pull to the knee.
Starting point is 01:04:26 You just won't do that, though. You'll be too busy getting sprayed. You guys can spray me. If you can catch me, you can spray me. You'll be too busy wiping snow off your goggles. Call me Beat Me if you want to reach me. I'm just going to hunt you down the mountain. I'm just going to be playing with you
Starting point is 01:04:39 because you're going to be going a little ahead of me. I'll have the wherewithal to just kind of hang back. And then you're getting sprayed. Hell yeah. I need to be careful.al to just kind of hang back and then you're getting sprayed. Hell yeah. You need to be careful. It sounds dangerous. No, it's fun.

It's objectively bad all around. It comes together and it's perfect. I will say, shout out to McDonald's.
Starting point is 01:14:05 You can place your own order instead of waiting in line now. And if you're fast, you can do it way fast in the line move. So just- I don't like that. Think about it.
