Circling Back - George Santos, Billy McFarland, and M&Ms

Episode Date: January 23, 2023

Yep, a big day for con artists. Between the recent downfall of George Santos and Billy McFarland being back in the news cycle, we had no shortage of discussions surrounding lies, fraud, and general (extreme 1920s gangster voice) racketeering. We also discuss a recent tweet from M&Ms, our Weekends in Fun, and an app that allows you to talk to Hitler from the dead.

all right we're back circling back podcast coming to you live my name name's Will DeVries. To my left, David Ruff. Yeah, so I just stumbled upon this. Tell me if this app interests either of you. This is This Week in Apps with Dave. iPhone app lets you talk to Hitler and Jeffrey Epstein beyond the grave for a price. Dave, you can't do air quotes on a podcast. What are you doing, dog? A controversial new AI chat app lets you talk. AI died?

To virtual versions of historical figures from Jesus to Adolf Hitler. So we're running the full spectrum. So they talk back? That's what you're telling me? But the bot has produced some puzzling and worrying responses. Yeah, because it's Hitler. Famously a very bad guy. Notable bad guy.

That's fine, but all I asked was, are you interested in the app? No, I'm not. I'm not even going to talk to a virtual Hitler. What's one historical figure who is now dead that you would like to speak with? Quotes. Dylan's going to brick this. You just have to name anyone from history. that you would like to speak with? Quotes. Ooh.

Dylan's going to brick this. You just have to name anyone from history. He's going to brick this. Tupac. Okay. Let's go with someone who's dead. Yeah. He said dead, Dylan.

Good point. That's all I got. There's a number of people who have died. More people have died than are alive. Yeah. I feel like billions of people have died. For sure. Just name one of the billions.

Yeah, you can name one that's actually dead. Let's go with Julius Caesar. Just think of one dead person, man. Just one person that died. I can't think of anybody. Julius Caesar. Sure. Will, what about you?

That haircut's looking good, by the way. Thank you. I feel like it's coming into its own over the last couple days. Got a little off the sides here. i don't know dave i was watching some interviews this weekend with uh jerry garcia maybe i'll go with him this guy he's certified dead straight okay okay i know that we're all upset over a football game this weekend i know that it's been tough to all come in the studio and talk about it it was hard for me too and like do you guys think that that win over Manchester United propels Arsenal to the title?

Yeah. He's doing soccer, man. Football. That's a fun Arsenal team, man. I don't know, man. That's all I can say. Man City's looking tough right now. No, they're actually looking like Sheridan.

You see what our guy Reina did? Didn't he have a good goal? He did have it. He had a yeah they go last oh and then he hit with uh can't hear you oh really that's his move he put the he put his his fingers in his ears can't hear can't hear the haters i don't know i haven't really kept up with that put his hater blockers on i i don't care american soccer drama doesn't register with me in the news cycle until uh until it's a world cup year i gotta tell you if we wanted to just come in here and record a show that's nothing but the top five articles

In hindsight, I should have pitched it to you guys in case you came up with something that would make me sad. I thought about a Cowboys thing, but I was just like, it's too sad. I don't want to do it. Yeah, I'm not going to sit here and do Cowboys headlines with you guys. That ends with one of you getting really mad at me. Talk about Dylan. I'm fine, man.

Why are you more okay about the Cowboys than you are UT? Oh, I'm much more emotionally invested in in texas sports than i am any professional oh i i know i can tell like the fact that you were i'm upset the fact that you were laughing about how deck or how uh uh it was funny the the last play of the game last night was kind of hilarious it's no absolutely it's a cowboys fan even i was like okay at least i at I got that. Big tree fall hard. Dylan, which one of these two stories interests you more?

You guys feel free to both chime in. Real or fake automated PGP ads. We've gone 2018. We've now gone to the lifestyle section of Daily Star. I went to first and last orgy with my girlfriend. Her parents were also there. Oh, I need to read that. We see that one too?

One more. Personal fave. Escort humiliates lads for a living as they pay to worship her like a queen. She's just humiliating lads. Guys do that all the time, don't they? That's just simp, baby. Me and the lads are just getting humiliated this weekend.

Dude, some lads like to be humiliated. Hey, is anyone doing anything this weekend? Yeah, dude, I'm getting straight humiliated. Likeated like dude just absolutely humiliated off the face of the planet had a pretty good weekend you know got humiliated saturday dude so last night i got humiliated last night you want to hear how wrong i got last night no not sexually humiliated so last night i get an alert around i don't know 8 p.m says it's time to be real. And y'all know. You're the realist. I'm Ashanti on this. I'm real.

And so I get on Be Real, and I start to take my Be Real. And I'm in my bedroom, and Sally's in bed reading on her phone. And I'm like, you know what? I'm going to get Rosie in this Be Real. Hell, hell yeah. Cute scene. And y'all know how Be Real works. It takes a photo of you.

It takes a photo of what's in front of you. And so I didn't want to get Sally in there because I was like, she's not wanting to be in this photo. So I'm not just going to, you know, toss a stray at her. And so I'm focused on taking my Be Real. I look up after I post my Be Real and who is videotaping me doing it? Sally.

And she sends it to a group text with several people in it, absolutely exposing me looking fake while trying to be real. That's another layer of just realness right there what's like i was getting her out of frame so i didn't have to air her out and suddenly i'm just getting straight up humiliated in the group chat put you on front street dog add me on be real though what group chat do i need to get on be real it's weirdly a group chat called be real gang okay do i need to get on be real uh i don't know i don't have like an open profile to like interact with like a ton of people i literally only follow about six people

and i have six people follow me so it's kind of just like me and a couple close friends being real as a guy who likes to be real i feel like i'm missing out on this opportunity dude i'll be i'm gonna be real right now some of y'all being fake out there dave's fake as hell he can never be on this some of y'all being hella fake yeah. Dave's fake as hell. He can never be on this app. Some of y'all be a hella fake. Yeah, I probably won't be on the app. Why, dude? Because you're not real. I just, I like to, I like to.

As you guys know, I'm a very private person. You host a podcast. You talk about your life a lot, publicly. We're about to do a thing called Recapping This Weekend in Fun, where we literally talk about everything we did. And I'm going to sit it out. Before we do that, of course, you're going to intro me, me because i am part of the show still as far as i know so go ahead dylan chivery ladies and gentlemen everyone happy to be here um i'm back on my bullshit that is this this mug that you know sometimes you've got to you know dance with the one who brung you

and it's been a while since i've used this one we had some good times together that's my least favorite mug i've been i use i've been using a different mug lately lot of people say, you're kind of off your game a little bit. So this is me getting my swagger back. I got this nice womanly figure mug. And I might even hit you with a new one this week. How do you know that's just not a cheeked up Ken doll mug? Come on. That's a lady's backside.

How do you know? And then, of course, there's no penis in front. It could be tucked. It could be. It could be inverted. I saw an absolute dump truck ass at Lyons Municipal Golf Course this past weekend. I did stop by there for a little bit. There was a dude teeing off, and I looked over, and I couldn't even help it.

In front of a dude that I just met in our foursome, I was like, dude, that's a dump truck. You did not say that to a stranger. I did. And then the guy, no, he was a friend of a guy that we were playing with. That's a dump truck. But he looked over, and everyone's like, oh, okay. Yeah, you're right. That is a dump truck. I did. And then the guy – no, he was a friend of a guy that we were playing with. That's a dump truck. But he looked over and everyone's like, oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

That is a dump truck. Good call. What, Dave? You have – UK's sexiest city named with Brummies, top for butt plugs and Glasgow vibrator surge. Facts. Yeah. Facts.

Of course. It'd be like that sometimes. I'll exit out of this so we don't have to or will i yeah i was gonna say you're gonna have to like close out of like a bunch of like pop-up ads and shit dude we're not talking about that everton manager who got sacked enough everyone's talking everyone's literally talking about it like the player got sad i know they're headed for relegation but yeah it's all the average boys out there i feel real bad for you guys damn man uh let's get some official biz out of the way this is exciting stuff

this is very exciting stuff if you if you are not on the patreon tomorrow you're gonna miss touching base to conspiracy podcast wow uh i think we've been hitting our stride with it lately some people are saying it's some of our most entertaining content because we're actually prepared not to brag oh that seems like a shot but okay yeah but true it felt it kind of felt like a a uh a humbling compliment uh go check it out we're gonna each chose choose one conspiracy we're gonna break it down it's gonna be fun next week on tuesday we're doing randy's game show we do that the last tuesday of every week and everyone knows that next tuesday is the last day of the month. We didn't mess that up at all in studio.

And anyway, we have a new 14-day trial for new patrons. If you're a new patron and you want to try this out, go hit that 14-day trial. Hey, don't cost nothing. It don't cost nothing, brother. For 14 days, it doesn't cost anything. Yeah, yeah. Allow us to earn your business.

If you want to stay on with us, it might cost you a little bit, but it's still pretty cheap. Do you mind if I read a couple reviews? We've gotten several reviews over the past few days. You guys ready for this? Sure. So we've been talking about Hundo Piers lately. These are people who have seen every episode,

or watched every episode, listened to every episode, have taken every episode. Let's make Hundo P t-shirts and send it to them. Well, we could. We could. But we need proof. We can't just be sending out hundo p t-shirts i don't know maybe we put together like a very difficult test that they have to get all like 100 on i would 100 let randy do that because randy randy knows well this person said five out of five

mondos they said i'm not a hundo peer but i'm a mondo peer okay hondo peer i don't know what that means but okay uh this person uh their name is Court. They left a pretty dumb review, in my opinion. They said, I don't care about Yellowstone or White Lotus. If I wanted a companion podcast and I'd listen to OCC. Hey, Court, I would listen to our Yellowstone segment and understand that that was not a companion podcast. How many stars? Five stars.

Thank you, Court. We love you. Hey, look, that's criticism. And you know what? Sometimes you get criticized, but you gave us five stars. I you, Court. We love you. Yeah, that was. Hey, look, that's criticism. And you know what? Sometimes you get criticized, but you gave us five stars. I'm not mad. But it was not a review. It was not a companion pod.

We just shat all over it, metaphorically speaking. Somebody said, this pod is about business. I successfully got my boss to explain a concept I should have been familiar with by saying, obviously, I know what that means, but maybe you could explain it for the others on the call. Follow this podcast for more tips on navigating your corporate experience. You know, that's a good bit we have. It's fun. It is good. It is good. Obviously, I know.

I also, I want to give an apology to Panthony Davis, noted reviewer, five star. He said we are goaded, but he did say as a Better Call Saul stand, it broke my heart to hear Will say that Ray Sehorne did not need a Golden Globe over Jennifer Coolidge because Better Call Saul has, quote, won enough awards

when it famously has been nominated for 53 Emmys. I don't remember saying that. I respect Ray Sehorne's work. I do think that, honestly, if I'm being honest, I don't think Jennifer Coolidge even deserved that Golden Globe. I thought there were some other people in the category who had some much more influential performances. Like such as?

I'd have to look at the list, but I remember thinking, man, really? That's an influential performance. Yeah. I was performance. Yeah. I was influenced. Anyway, go leave a review. You know what? That's tough, but fair.

Fine. Five stars. As long as you get five stars, I'll take that criticism. But I do want to apologize to that person. I've got a quick announcement. First of all, if you're not already following Too Much Dip Podcast on Instagram, please go follow it, at Too Much Dip Podcast on Instagram, please go follow it at TooMuchDipPodcast on Instagram. Also, we will be recording this week's episode tomorrow.

Not because Dylan and I don't want to talk about it. Not because we don't want to face the music. Mainly because KJ has a major scheduling conflict today.

Saturday, we went to a birthday party for one of our friends. And it was a 90s-themed birthday party. And we dressed as Tommy Lee and Pam Anderson, thanks to the recommendation from Dave's sister.

And we pulled it off quite well, I think. Looked good. Damn, you don't have to go that deep. Don't tell us what happened after the party. You know what I mean? Did you guys rent a boat? We didn't recreate any kind of video situation. Did you shower before?

Oh, babe. That's a good shower. Wait, babe. Wait, babe. It's good to shower. Stay right here. I'm going to go hop in the shower real quick. Anyway, yeah, it was a fun time, man.

A lot of fun. How'd you get the tattoos? Those are real. No, I don't think they were. I don't think they were. Considering you won't even get one on your ass. I went to Party City, and I bought a bunch of press-on tattoos,

and it was fun, man. I had a big spider web on my neck. I felt like I was on my bad boy shit. It was kind of sick. I kind of want to get a neck tattoo now. Should you and I go to Party City and just go buy some random temporary tattoos and see where they work and see where they don't work and then actually go make this happen?

I legitimately need a neck tattoo. A neck tattoo? Yeah. Really? No, but it felt cool for a while. You got to be careful. Stop appropriating neck tattoo culture. Why?

I'm not appropriating shit. You're not bad boy enough, dude. You're absolutely not bad boy enough. I'm way too soft. Way too soft for that. What? Don't look at me. All right died if i get a neck tattoo like a it's over for neck tattoos no eyeliner did you go eyeliner no eyeliner why why

i don't know i'm never i don't i didn't think about it all right gotta go eyeliner dude bay was a great pam anderson by the way i drew on the little barbed wire tattoo with with eyeliner oh artis dillon yeah do we have any close-ups of this uh barbed wire tattoo i want to i want to inspect your work um i could probably find one yeah look pretty good sunday did a little home improvement project with the old man at the house and then uh i went to see britney be careful with all this home improvement and pam anderson talk you're just begging to talk about the tim allen story off the newswire today britney presented at this thing for i live here i give here which is a charitable organization

in austin and she absolutely crushed it she's great at that kind of stuff. It was very impressive to watch. And that's it. It was a good old Sunday, minus the football. What happened? Oh, man, you lost. Yeah. What'd that boy get into? Well, I started my Friday off the way I really like to do this once a month, at least. I wouldn't hit total wine.

I wouldn't hit total wine for a bottle of wine. And I'm going to give that recommendation now. And this is a person in the store who said this is a good one. It's a Bonfi Brunello Di Montalcino. Brunello. Very good. Very, very good. Reasonably priced.

Just a nice one to have for the weekend. Did you buy stock in this? No, I didn't. i do i just like going to total wine and just and just mixing it up i've talked about this before but they're just very knowledgeable very helpful and they're five or five on recommendations they've never they've never sent me down a road i didn't want to be on so shout out to them very cool friday night stayed in watched a few more episodes of the offer which i'm genuinely enjoying right now quite good quite good very fun if you're a miles teller fan you tell people what it's about i don't think anyone knows what this show actually is this is about the it is a fictionalized dramatization of the making of the godfather movie. The behind the scenes,

you have Miles Teller who plays the producer. You have a man whose name escapes me, who's very talented, who plays the studio head, Paramount. Yeah, he influenced you. He did. He's really good. And then you've got, you know,

you got Pacino in there. It's them trying to get the people they want cast. It's basically like a back and forth, you know, dealing with the red tape. Did Pacino play himself? No. That'd be tough given the age difference. Yeah, this is a very young Pacino.

Is it distracting that Miles Teller lowers his voice to the depths that he goes to in the show? Because when I watched the trailer, I thought to myself, I don't know if I can do this. No, because he looks, his character is a very large presence okay compared to like the the people he's around so it kind of makes sense do you get the concern do you get the concern because i i thought when i first watched it i was like wait did he sound like this in top gun but i don't know he did the trailer didn't do a good job of showing him talking so it would show like a clip

of him and then it would do like a voiceover using his voice and it was like wait is that miles teller's voice this doesn't make sense it was it was almost jarring yeah but i'm interested my interest is picked or piqued as it's spelled quite good uh saturday low-key day hung out with the neighborhood dogs and dog owners uh and then went and watched the giants eagles game and then the cage fights with uh none other than dan register and uh his buddy georgio and then our buddy boosh boosh joined us for a little bit mullet's still going strong like extremely strong boosh memes yeah boosh memes. Check them out. Had fun. We even saw our friend Andrew Craig went over to the east side. Haven't been to the east side in a long time.

Two first names. Yeah, famously. East side, man, east side is wild. It's just, it is a totally different scene. I feel like it is where everyone who used to go out on West 6th goes out now. Just a fun time. But that's about that. Sunday, nothing.

Didn't watch any football or anything. I haven't watched the game yet, so don't spoil it. Rudge did have soccer practice, his final soccer practice at DC Rough on Instagram, if you want to see how that went. Hates cones. Hates them. Why are they playing flag? That is a chase game. I don don't know i think it's basically

like uh i thought you i thought you pivoted i thought football yeah i thought you went straight to like actual like american football no i that'll that will happen at some point but how's he looking on the route tree hitting all of them yeah i will say that that game is clearly for because a lot of the kids aren't quite good at dribbling the ball, kicking the ball. So it's just like, hey, we're going to wear your kids out. We're going to do it one way or the other, and this is our best option. And having them chase you around with a jersey tucked in the back of your pants

is one way to do it. And they were quite successful. There's some good athletes in that class who are like two years old. It's wild. I'm pretty sure I could run circles around them Yeah, I could probably dice them up Yeah, we know, man We've heard

I could probably dice them up Yeah, dude I could probably take 11 All at once And I'll yield my time Put me on the field Put me in, coach Put me in, coach

My time has been yielded I'm ready to play Today You guys familiar with Heather McMahon? Nope. I wasn't either. I wasn't either. She's a comedian.

She has a very good Instagram presence. And what I learned is that she has a rabid, rabid fan base of, you know, young women who will scream when she walks on stage at a live performance in Austin, Texas. Make your ears bleed. I went to a Heather McMahon show on Saturday night. I hadn't been to a stand-up show in a while. I think this was a little more untraditional when it came to stand-up, more kind of just riffing with the crowd, having fun. It was interesting. I'll say this. Her husband apparently plays a lot of golf, and a lot of her stand-up routine is about how much golf her husband plays. And it was not a good day for me to have played golf and a lot of her stand-up routine is about how much golf her husband plays and uh

it was not a good day for me to have played golf and be sitting next to my wife at this stand-up show it's getting absolutely cooked out there you just had the roast hand on you dude i was like please change topics lady like i'm getting killed out here men you're golfing you're just roasting your husband for golfing and i played i played today 81 for those keeping track at home oh that's lower the handicap but down down beneath the 13 which i still think my handicap feels too high i'm playing pretty well lately striking the ball nicely uh but yeah outside of that like kind of a low-key weekend uh i did uh i did get off my dry january shit this weekend had five total drinks this weekend had two ranch waters you guys hear

about these things yeah hadn't had one in a while mash that ranch water button along with my nice red fish at ranch 616 look at you man just pescatarian january you know what the grind is fish only stop fish and veggies baby fish and veggies fish and veggies that's not how that song goes that's it's to the it's the tune of black and yellow by wiz califo and then uh yeah closed out the weekend last night by having some rose it was just a beautiful beautiful time uh and yeah had a pretty chill time honestly i'm really struggling guys i need something to watch maybe i should start watching the offer you hear about this save you know you should watch here's my unsolicited recommendation of the week alone on netflix have you watched it no it's freaking good man what's it about uh 10 people are dropped in the wilderness oh

hold on go on has this been on another channel or is this netflix produced um i think it's i think it's just netflix but i think it's i think it's just netflix but i could be wrong i think i've seen this and basically whoever is the last to tap out wins 500 grand yes i've seen they're dropped in um i think they're in alaska now it's like grizzly bear territory it's fucking wild i've watched this on uh i think smithsonian channel it's cool it's like the real the real deal yeah yeah and you don't know the status of the other people correct you don't yeah you don't know the status of the other people, correct? You don't.

Yeah, you don't know if they dropped out. So you just try to make it as long as you can, and hopefully everyone taps out before you, and then you win a bunch of money. But this guy ran across a mountain lion yesterday. His first day, boom, mountain lion. Randy, if we did alone, circling back style, who's lasting the longest?

Randy, just give it to me. I probably dylan yeah probably doing all right you're muted randy oh dylan can't dylan can't even be outside in the summertime it's true that's facts that is this is cold weather shit dog that is facts okay if it's cold if it's cold weather shit my stock is rising they drop them in the fall so they they have to make it through wintertime. Sign me up. You couldn't catch a fish. Please. I think I'm the only one in this room who actually owns a reel. You don't even touch fish, dog. Thank you, Randy.

Thank you for the adjacent rope stand over here. I'm catching a fish. Aren't you afraid? Didn't you say you're afraid to pull them off the hook? I'm not afraid. They're slimy and gross. They're slimy. Sounds like you're scared.

I did a poll earlier. I did a poll earlier that said the least likely person to refill the office Nespresso is. Obviously, Dave is third in voting because everyone likes Dave more than they like you and I. Why do people like this asshole so much? No offense. It's because I'm the one who roasts you for not filling it up. Everybody knows this.

It's been litigated. It was one time. It was an accident. I just wasn't even being patient. No, and you've made it. It was empty when I came in this morning, which is why I asked this. I would love to know who made an afternoon coffee.

Y'all should watch it alone, though, for real. Like, big facts. I just told you I have watched it. Big fact. Dave, you should watch it, bitch. You're about to do this show alone if you don't stop calling me bitch. Dylan, you're currently at 49.1% of the vote.

That's such bullshit. Which, statistically speaking, I think you know that you're leading. People think I'm just a big old jerk face. If I don't fill it up, it's intentional. It's because I don't care. Man. You know what I just noticed? What a jerk. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, got to gas you up a little bit.

The color of that Roback hoodie is going perfectly with our Wilmonds bird. You're blocking the bird. It's really distracting how good those two... Is that pink or is that salmon? We should do a Wilmonds Roback. You don't have to answer that. Do you think Roback would do a Wilmonds shirt?

A coconut cup. Smoking weed. Yeah, it's got to be a coconut. A coconut. With a straw coming out of it. A rum floater. Well, a bottle of rum, I think. Like a bottle of Mount Gay.

Okay. Or a brandless rum that looks like Mount Gay. Sure. And a little spliff. And some fish tacos. Yeah, there's got to be some fish tacos. It's kind of a busy shirt. There could be a pelican on there, too.

Mm-hmm. You guys see this stuff? I've been trying Nutrafol. You should, too. I'll be honest. When it showed up in the mail, Sally looked at me and she goes, did you order Nutrafol?

In fact, I went from not knowing who this person is to now knowing a lot about who this person is in a matter of weeks. Did y'all know who George Santos was before 2023? No, I didn't either. I don't think so. I didn't either. Dave, who is George Santos? He is a U.S. representative from New York's third congressional district serving since 2023. Can I back up real quick? Long Island.

A quick correction. Back it up then stop. Chilco Lake, British Columbia. Chilco. Chilco Lake, British Columbia is where season eight of Alone is filmed. Not quite Alaska. Wow, dude. You had to scale back your takes. Hey, Chiloko. Is that in the Banff area? Yeah, it's right there by... Yeah, they're just nestled in right next to each other. It's like Vancouver Banff. It's like right there, yeah. It's all the same. You can walk

to all three places in the same day. Yeah, you can hike between them, actually. It's pretty cool. Wow, this is nowhere near Alaska. Yeah, that's why I just issued a correction. It's quite near it. Alaska connects to the same country. If you're going from Vancouver, you've got

about... It's all the same area. They're essentially right next to each other. It's a day trip. What's your problem, David? Nothing. It's a day trip. Just saying. I was curious about your mountain lion claim. That's all. George Santos. George Santos. George Santos.

What do we know about George Santos? He's got a Wikipedia. He has a Wikipedia. So he's a notable person. Yes. So we know that about him. He is of note. Okay.

Is there anything he's done that's maybe weird? He's just a real honorable man. I need to find that. Oh, you posted the link to the tweet. Our friends at, what is that, New York Magazine? They're not our friends. We were talking about keeping it real. Did they roast you or something?

Nah, they just kind of messed up. They kind of stopped sending me my magazine for a little bit, and so I just ended up canceling my subscription because I just wasn't getting the physical magazine. So this fellow, this young man's been accused of misleading some voters, maybe having some fabrications on his resume, educational history, family history. And there's a graph here. He is not welcome on the Be Real app.

I don't. No. No, he's shadow banned. That's exposed. Their graph here, it's hilarious and not hilarious. And up on the hilarious side, you have things such as says his fiance got fired for being maskless at mar-a-lago good lie that's a funny lie um says he was a star volleyball player at barrack or baruch yeah i'm sure where that is but that's an interesting thing to make up it's an

honestly if you're gonna make something up like that picking a very niche school up like that, picking a very niche school is a good move. Picking a very niche sport is a good move. And you could just say, no, they don't even have a website for it. It's a pretty small school. Volleyball team, at least. Maybe stole dying dog money from veterans. Maybe. We don't know about that one. But that has been thrown out there.

We don't know what kind of financial situation he was in at that time. I can't speak for his mental health and well-being. Says his grandmother was a Holocaust victim. Indeed. Not true. I'm going to take it that's not true. It is.

They're saying it is not true. That one, that's a good one. My personal favorite, though, says his mom died from 9-11. From 9-11, what's that mean? Well, she worked, he claims that she worked in Tower One and got out, but the ash cloud that happened after the buildings collapsed, that eventually caught up with her a few years later. She did not work in World Trade Center.

And she was actually, she had never, I don't think she'd been to New York until 2003. Here's what I don't get. You make up all these things, you tell all these lies, and then you run for public office. And the things he's lying about are so easily verifiable through like just fact checking. He's the wrong decade. What are you doing? Wrong era of politicians.

He's an old soul. This plays back, this plays up until like the early 90s right maybe mid 90s but you can't you can't come out here with that playbook he's got an outdated playbook he's running stuff the game's passed him by yeah but he's not he's not an old guy like he should know he looks our age this was like if this was dick whitman and don draper kind of status he could have gotten away with this. Yeah. You can't hop on the internet and look up that he worked at Goldman Sachs, for example, which he claimed.

Didn't do it. That's a very high-profile influential bank. Some say very, very influential. Probably the most, yes. You're going to put that one. You've got to know that might come back on you. What I have to know is if these leaked pictures of Santos dressed as a drag queen are real or are they fake. He said he was dressed up as a woman for entertainment. We've all been there.

But then he categorically denied that it happened on Twitter from what I saw. Well, Dylan, I got some news for you. As tough. I don't know if you can believe it. He might have said that, but I mean, he's certainly said a lot of things. Okay. I got a couple more personal faves. Wrote bad checks for shoes.

We've all been there. We've all been there. Dylan wrote a bad check for his yeezys people writing checks for shoes these days uh that doesn't happen much i need it i'm gonna start paying with my checkbook my mom used to pay for with her checkbook at the at the grocery store i'd be like lady like i'm your son and i'm still waiting for you to hurry up on these checks yeah lied about being a landlord's a fun one too like okay we've what's the what's the payoff like oh this dude's i like has anyone ever liked their landlord i like the one where he claimed he was jewish but then later described that he was he didn't say he was jewish he said he was jewish ish there's a hyphen yeah he's he's adjacent which is a thing like people do say

that but like just don't say that no you shouldn't say that no yeah he's really going for the the big fish when he's throwing out uh you know pescatarian january 9 11 goldman sachs holocaust like all stuff that's like yeah he's touching some pretty hot like all right dude yeah well when you're running for like lower office, people probably don't care. They don't even look it up. And then like... But I did read something that said that his main goal

was to be a congressman so that he could just have one term and get health insurance and severance for the rest of his life. That was the goal. There are other careers. No, but yeah, there are other careers that can guarantee you that. I mean... Can't you just – yeah, I don't know. I guess not. Do you get health coverage forever after you serve in Congress?

Dylan, I'm just repeating what I read on Twitter. You're not going to get the right answer here, man. Don't ask me actual questions about how the government works, dude. We're not the source. Severance? Sometimes when my wife gets together with one of my friends, they ask me really demeaning questions about the government and I don't know how to answer them and it makes me feel very bad about myself

who asks you this? Sally! why is she questioning you? to make fun of me in front of my friends she's humiliating me lately dude you are straight the whole squad why are you getting so humiliated dude straight up humiliated she just puts you on front street in front of her friends

don't impress them god sorry this poor lad damn salgal i know people gotta start feeling more bad for me get your little whiskey girl under control man she got my car turned this weekend sally did it's fucked up yeah parked in her spot damn they're most fun in the family what are you reading dave you got some some more on our boy Georgie over here? You got some more T-Dog? Is his name even George Santos? During his campaign, Santos made large expenditures. He used campaign funds to pay for shirts for his staff from Brooks Brothers,

meals at the restaurant at the Bergdorf Goodman Department Store, and $40,000 in airline fares, including locations in California, Texas, and Florida. Yeah. Keep your employees happy, and they're not going to rat you out. Oh, wow. Man, I used to buy hella Brooks Brothers button-downs, and then finally I got to the age where I realized they were all just so wide on me. Why are they so puffy?

Well, you've got to get the slim fit, dog. Yeah, they were late to the game on the slim fit. So late to the game. It was like you were putting on a parachute that you used in gym class. Like 12 expensive Brooks Brothers shirts that I'm just absolutely never going to wear again. They're due for like a rebrand. They need some help. You just don't see people wearing Brooks Brothers.

That was my go-to. Are they still F though? They're very much still F, but I do worry about their sales. I feel like we're hearing less and less from the Brooks Brothers contingent. I always wondered who was buying the gentleman's handbook that they'd have up by the cash register like who's like bringing that home and like reading it and then that's a classic stocking stuffer david do some gent tweets he's a perfect 10 but he has the gentleman's handbook on his nightstand he brings it on his first day he's like uh i'm gonna run in the bathroom real quick

he's like flipping through it like pull her chair out for her oh fuck i forgot to pull her gentleman's handbook that is so lame oh god anyway george santos yeah man um just go to the wikipedia just read it i could sit here and read the entire thing and it's what i don't get about our government is how we haven't gotten him out of office at this point if you lie about this much isn't there is there not some kind of swift action you can take to get this person out of public office again i think you're probably asking the wrong guys it just doesn't make sense to me like i i know like people have lied before but like we have a rampant lying record here this is pretty egregious yeah like it just seems like we should have a a thing in place that says hey

wait if this person unjustly took office maybe we should get them out if they're willing to do that to take office what are they willing to do to stay in office i'm beginning to think these politicians lie yeah and i don't like that i feel like i been had, even though I wasn't eligible to vote in this election. Still, I'm a voter, registered. Some of us aren't. Not going to say who. Will. Please.

I was talking about Randy. Oh. I voted for all your last time. Is Randy – are you doing it? Are you sure? Yeah, Randy was just staring at his phone for a little bit. He tried to slyly put his phone down. You get a post-off?

No. Son of a gun. At least I'm fine with him getting posts off now as long. He was like, oh, Will doesn't like when I get posts off mid-podcast. All right, I'm going to start playing with Velcro over here. What the fuck was that? Yeah, Velcro week was not great. Velcro week did not go well for Randy.

That's okay. That's okay. Yeah, this is week was not great. Velcro week did not go well for Randy. That's okay. That's okay. Yeah, this is my new favorite politician. This is really good. Stop playing with that, Randy. You kind of have to respect the grind at some point. I don't think you do. I don't know, man.

I don't think you do. His initial claims that his maternal grandparents were Jewish Holocaust refugees who fled Soviet Ukraine and occupied Belgium were false. Both his maternal grandparents were born in brazil see that's like it's such a lie that's that's quite different different continent actually who do you tell these lies to just anybody probably just down at the coffee shop mixing it up with the lads about to get humiliated are you hanging out the lads at the coffee shop we should do that more no coffee

friday no no let's just do it here we have a coffee machine and everything yeah but you have to drink it like within five minutes otherwise as it cools down it's not as good i think we need to clean our coffee machine i think we're having a maybe an issue really i don't know to be honest what dave said is somewhat true but i'm at the point now where I think all the coffee tastes like shit. I'm a little worried about our tubes. I'll clean it out, man. You know how you have to express- I said I'm worried about the tubes.

My tubes. What, David? Nothing. You know how you have to express your dog's anal glands from time to time? I don't do that. This is like that, but with a coffee machine. You don't do that? Not personally.

I get it done. Yeah, you tell the vet or the groomer, like, hey, you want to express these glands? Oh, y'all don't do it yourself? I've never done it. You don't do that? Not personally. I get it done. Yeah, you tell the vet or the groomer, like, hey, you want to express these lines? Oh, y'all don't do it yourself? I've never done it. You don't do it. I mean, I don't do it.

My medical professional wife absolutely doesn't. You know what? There's nothing wrong with that. You get some pretty sweet built-in perks. Yeah, I would definitely say the number one, though,

is that my wife is willing to stick her fingers up my dog's butthole once a week. Does she express yours, too? No, I don definitely say the number one, though, is that my wife is willing to stick her fingers up my dog's butthole once a week. Does she express yours, too? No, I don't need it done. What's your favorite gland to express? I don't want to share that.

Dude, I took a steam shower yesterday. Did you express your glands? I could tell that I was hella moist all over the place, and so I decided to go clean my ears out. That was so good. Okay. What? You're just Q-tips?

Yeah. All right. Okay. Oh, yeah. That's cool, man. I took some photos of the Q-tips. You guys want to see them? What the fuck?

I didn't do that. I'm not going to. Okay. What, David? I think maybe we're oversharing a bit. No, we're not. Okay. No, we're not.

Dave's the one that brought up anal glands. Yeah, yeah what are you doing i was trying to make a comparison so you understood the gravity of the situation i understand what were you comparing it to the coffee machine pretty much the same thing think about it yeah it's a good analogy yeah hey what happened what's going on with this eminem stuff doing john mayer is he putting on a new album yeah we what no one's talking no one's even talking about the word doing john mayer is he putting on a new album yeah we what no one's talking no one's even talking about the word gravity john mayer or anything do you want to talk gravity do you want to talk eminem tweet or do we kind of give an update i'm gonna be honest i didn't prepare well enough for this episode i have no clue what the eminem tweet is they have

a they have a message they issued a statement you guys of course are familiar with the eminem controversy right with the uh did? What did they do? Well, my dear friend Nick Adams canceled Eminem's. Yeah, so this is in response to that. They're really feeling the blowback from the Nick Adams boycott. What did they do? What did Eminem's do? They, I believe the word, defeminized the green Eminem, right?

She was the baddest one. Why don't you slow down there, guy? They temporarily went to all-female spokes candies is what they call them. Okay. Well, what if we didn't just assign genders to pieces of chocolate? Well, they don't have private parts.

We don't know that. Yeah, I can see. They're not wearing clothes. However they choose to express themselves, that's up to them. Gross. They're expressing themselves? They released this graphic with some text on it.

America, let's talk. In the last year, we've made some changes to our beloved Spokes Candies. We weren't sure if anyone would even notice, and we definitely didn't think it would break the internet. Yeah, Nick noticed. First of all, don't say break the internet. And we definitely didn't think it would break the internet, but now we get it. Even a candy's shoes can be polarizing, which was the last thing M&M's wanted since we're all about bringing people together. Therefore, we've decided to make an indefinite pause from the spokescandies.

In their place, we are proud to introduce a spokesperson America can agree on. Any guesses? Donald Trump. Go ahead, just guess any human. Nick Adams. You guessed it, Maya Rudolph. Oh, okay. We are confident Ms. Rudolph will champion the power of fun

to create a world where everyone feels they belong. Hey, Maya Rudolph fan right here. Their response to the public pushback they got from their female spokes candies is to bring in Maya Rudolph fan right here. Their response to the public pushback they got from their female spokes candies is to bring in Maya Rudolph. Yeah, they played the Maya Rudolph card. Okay. It's a good card to play if you got it.

A lot of people are saying that this is about to be a buildup for some sort of twist during the Super Bowl commercial. Like there's going to be a play on this, so this might be a long play. Yeah, yeah. Noted wife of PTA, Paul Thomas Anderson. Is that his name? Don't know who that is. I thought he directed, what's it called?

Don't know. The most generic name ever, Paul Anderson. He did that statutory rape movie I watched on the plane recently. This is getting dark. Licorice Pizza. movie I watched on the plane recently. It's getting dark. Licorice Pizza. Oh, he's an English filmmaker. The name of that movie.

He's made a lot of movies that you guys have seen. He did Boogie Nights. He did. Dave loves that movie. He did The Phantom Thread starring a notable actor. What's his face? Uh-huh. He's my favorite.

Yep. Good one. Good one. Okay. He doesn't come without some controversy. I feel like we've heard too much from m&ms lately i mean i feel like i've been a little more offline when it comes to uh twitter lately and i think i think it's these scenarios where like i just don't see the m&m stuff because i don't i need to start following nick adams a little more hardcore the culture war goes down on twitter that's ground zero of the culture war yeah we're fighting about m&ms there we're not fighting about m&ms out in like the public square

there's not a battle nick adams won't stick his neck out and not a joe burrow guy i'm not either i'm very out on joe burrow i wouldn't bring that up i wouldn't vary out on joe burrow yeah you're gonna humiliate you know who's not you know who's not out on Joe Burrow. I wouldn't be too afraid of you. Very out on Joe Burrow. Is she going to humiliate you with Joe Burrow? You know who's not out on Joe Burrow? My wife. Dave's Little Whiskey Girl. My wife. Jeez.

I had the unfortunate realization this weekend that Joe Burrow is my wife's hall pass. Whoa. Sorry. Coffee went down the wrong way. I was going to say, I get it. He's a cool customer. It's just annoying. If she would have picked a Texas athlete,

I'd be like, well, she has that connection. But instead, it's someone that she has never had any connection to. Wouldn't you rather be someone not connected with the local university? It's more likely if it's like someone who's going to come back for alumni weekend well yeah but if sally actually takes me up on her hall pass like i'm gonna be like wait okay like i thought this was more of just a fun hypothetical conversation we discussed this my wife's hall pass is an austin guy so i'm constantly on like high alert around town you have to worry about it who is it green yay glenn powell oh yeah yeah i'd be worried about

that oh i mean if sally's was glenn powell i'd be very afraid because yeah they're like in the same squad right i mean he would say hi to her on the street if they pass each other but like they don't text but like yeah i can't i can't have that be that be anything she even said that last night she's, at least it's not like Glenn or something because that's in play. Fucking bangles. They're going to go back to the Super Bowl? That's sports talk with Will. I don't hate, you know.

I kind of like what they're doing there. You know who my wife's hall pass is? What? Chuck Todd. Really? No. He's a hottie, though. He's not. I get it. His name's Chuck Todd. Really? No. He's a hottie, though. He's not.

I get it. His name's Chuck Todd. Two first name guy. Yeah. Yeah, he's got two first names. Cool. That's cool, man. Very cool.

Hey, update from our friends in New Orleans. You may have seen my tweet, at dcarteruff on Twitter. But a friend of ours. Was that the? Go ahead. A friend of ours from New Orleans. We may have done galatoise with him.

A doctor. A doctor. A man of medicine. He brought his kids to the zoo, and he did inform me that not only is Valerio alive and well, he's just out here getting it and he looks prime for another run if you know what i mean some people say that if you're there late at night you can still hear the screams of the alpacas that got got by valeria what what made a worse sound the alpaca or the fox as it was getting got by this murderous jaguar especially

like you got like 20 of of them. What does the fox say? Oh, no. That's a song? I forgot that one. What, Randy? That was a good reference. Y'all already know your age right now.

I know it is a reference, but I don't know the reference. It's a song from a decade plus ago. Shout out to E-Bomb and his world. Is that an E-Bomb's world thing? That seems way before it. It was probably on E-Bomb's world at one point. They secured his cage.

It looked like it was a chain link fence in front. And that seems like... First of all... They need to put that dude in isolation. Yeah, he can climb a chain link fence. You probably pick a lock at this point. It's a very, very well-evolved cat. I heard he's got a tunnel that he's been digging underneath. Chapo style?

Yeah. He's got a poster on his wall of like a hot little cheetah. And every night he whittles away with his little paw. And then he puts a poster back over it. And then he goes out to the yard. He just kind of lets the drywall and stuff. I referenced this like last week or the week before. And neither of y'all bit this.

Really? I was just trying to do Shawshank. And neither of y'all bit this i was just trying to do shawshank and neither of y'all went down the road with me it was upsetting i just like the idea of a hot little cheetah i don't know if i've told you this but he's actually my favorite podcaster yeah i get it i get it yeah dylan likes it when dave does it god i'm taking ls over here i must have missed it i'm not trying to humiliate you you are humili humiliating me. Humiliating. I'm humiliated right now. Damn. But yeah, so.

Shout out to our main jag, man. It's a bad cat. Yeah. I'm a bad cat. Actually, that show I was watching, a bunch of jags up at Chilko Lake, too. Is that right? Yeah. Interesting. Where Is that right? Yeah. Interesting.

Where is that again? It's, like, very tip of Alaska, like, way up there. Oh. Yeah. No, it's not. That's okay. It's right by Banff and Vancouver and Toronto. Which side of Vancouver is more beautiful, U.S. side or Canada side?

Or are they not,... Are they not... Does it not like expand on... I think once you cross the border... Is that right? Then it becomes Vancouver. Will that... No, look at that. Dude, our Canadian backers are punching air right now.

Are we sure? Vancouver, I've never been... Wait, is Vancouver in Canada? Yeah. David? There is a Vancouver, Washington. I've never been. Wait, is Vancouver in Canada? David. There is a Vancouver, Washington. Man. It's a little geography play.

But you just figured that out. No, I didn't. I've been knowing that. Up by Seattle way. People ask, why is there two Vancouver's? Both cities are named after British sea captain George Vancouver. Great name. Phenomenal name.

Who explored much of the Northwest Territory at the end of the 18th century. Who apparently discovered enough to have two major cities fight over who could honor him best. Wow.

My main focus was getting the neck ones off first, which I was able to do the morning after. Would have been better if you just left them for the podcast. I still have a couple lightning bolts on my shoulder. Let's see them. I'm not going to. Why? We're trying to get people to watch on YouTube.

Oh. They're faded a little bit. A couple lightning bolts. No big deal. I had hand tacks. That's the whole deal, man. Sick. Fuck yeah. Fuck yeah, dude. No big deal. I had hand tacks. That's the whole deal, man. Sick. Fuck yeah.

Fuck yeah, dude. Edgy doing. Gross. Hey, you stopped wearing your gold chain, didn't you? Long time ago. Why? What's your fucking deal? Yeah, what's your problem?

People kept trying to rob me. I don't think they did. They tried to snatch my chain. Chain snatch? Why didn't you tell us about that before? I just don't like talking about it publicly. I was getting in a lot of fights. Street fights.

Really? Downtown, yeah. What? Just stay away from downtown i can't you're from the street there's just something about it when you're down there i can't believe i can't believe that one day you just decided you're like i'm gonna hang this chain up i did i'm not gonna take it off i had to no i gave it to my son he's wearing your chain he's wearing it right now are you worried about him like getting like tangling that thing or yeah choking hazard nature of it to my son. He's wearing your chain. He's wearing it right now. Are you worried about him, like, getting, like, tangling that thing? Yeah. The choking hazard nature of it. Is it going to hang low? It's probably, uh...

Get him a little pendant for it. I did. What is it? It's a Jesus piece. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. Billy McFarlane's back in the news cycle.

You guys remember this guy? I love this guy. He's my favorite. No. Dude, you're not alone. Between, like, you can't just be standing, like, noted fraudsters. We just stand the worst. Who do you stand more, Billy McFarlane or George Santos?

Or Kim Jong-un? Oh, Kim Jong, man. Oh, that's weird. Just kidding. What if I told you Billy's out of jail? Also a noted bad dude, Kim Jong-un. What if I told you Billy's got a new venture? Billy's weird. Just kidding. What if I told you Billy's out of jail? Also a noted bad dude, Kim Jong-un. What if I told you Billy's got a new venture? Billy's back.

It's called PYRT. It's spelled P-Y-R-T. I'm sure it's on the up and up too. Well, he launched, this is per NBC News. You guys familiar with NBC? Can I say something real quick? You're an NPC. These new brands that just take common words

and like spell them like dumb ass ways i'm so over it you were trying to name this washed and spell it wshd what yeah taking out the vowels and words and like just just stop dude you're not so it's so annoying well pirate launched on social social media in October and is supposed to kick off things by hosting a remote island extravaganza. You guys hear about this? You're lying. I swear to God. I swear to God. It's perfect.

He's perfect, dude. It's one that McFarland insists is not a festival. It's just an island extravaganza on a remote island. It's featuring a slew of influencers, so it's much different, obviously, than a fire festival and creators creators as well and the purported tropical experience will include virtual reality technology that the company says will allow users to participate and control what happens on the island in real time from home what does this even mean what is what huh uh one one person said billy still billy he's using different words but he's selling the same thing. Somebody said the similarities are there around the vague, mysterious promotion, said a former employee of Fire Media.

Pirate appears to be an exercise in smoke and mirrors, buzzwords, and empty promises of lavish trips to the Bahamas. Honestly, if he's given out trips to the Bahamas to influencers, we might be able to help you out there, Billy. Will, this has happened before. It didn't go well. He's not going to do it twice. Lightning doesn't strike twice, does it? I mean, if anyone can make it happen, it's Billy McFarland. He went to jail.

He's right in his wrongs. He learned his lesson. He wasn't in jail for very long well he probably ratted some people out like less than two years did no he doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would roll over no did jaw do any jail time no was jaw supposed to jaw got bamboozled in this whole thing right no he knew about it you think he did i don't remember i don't know i don't remember he did four years in prison i think you'll ever watch the fire festival documentaries again i don't think i will he also has 26 million dollars fire festival that was a fun time on twitter

the fact that both netflix and hulu had competing ones that were both really good was great it was great a remote island extra extravaganza i don't trust him billy billy billy mcfarland invites you to his remote island for an extravaganza you saying yes or no i'm saying no why because he doesn't have the pool to like make this happen he doesn't have the resources anymore who's uh who's funding this who's that who's giving him more money great question poor sap who i guarantee is very single and old and and just trying to get some yeah there's an element of ludicrous or something yeah don't bump him yeah you can't do that to luda he already he already drained jaw rule and now he's gonna go to luda i don't know

if he did what to draw rule i haven't i haven't seen anything to report that he drained jaw rule. I know he's going to go to Luda. I don't know if he did that. He didn't want to jaw rule? I haven't seen anything to report that he drained jaw rule, Dylan. Luda's not going to get, he's not going to do this. He's too smart. Luda? Luda's way too smart for this. He's got hoes in the area codes. Yeah. He does things in the public bathroom.

I've got hoes. In the back of the classroom. I got hoes. You do. different area codes we lose listeners every time that's not true man i can hear people subscribing luda even on that song is that a luda song yeah okay just making sure i just wanted to make sure had i been right there and it wasn't a luda song it would have been tough for you to recover from that. Yeah.

He had a little run, man. Luda? Yeah. He didn't have a little run. He had a very successful career. He even got to go have a movie career in the Fast and Furious movies. Yeah, he did quite well. I was watching one of those roasts that you see on TV.

I don't know who the main roastee was, but Luda was on the panel and someone introduced him as the best rapper of 2001. And I thought that was a pretty funny little jab. That's a lat share about that, really. Whose roast was it? Bieber, maybe?

I don't remember. He did the roast of Biebs. He was definitely not the best rapper of 2001. Now, you want to say maybe 2003 or 2004? Maybe. No, no, no, no, Dave. Hey, David, it was the best rapper of 2001. Now, you want to say maybe 2003 or 2004? Maybe. No, no, no, no, no, Dave. Hey, David, it was just a joke, man. Also, but I don't know. 2001 was right after

What's Your Fantasy came out. Right after 2000. It's right after What's Your Fantasy. What's your fantasy? We've been doing it over an hour. We can stop. I fucking crushed that. Randy clipped that man he means edit it no it's a doubt no no no anyway anyway i don't trust billy mcfarland i don't know about you guys i think i'm gonna do this i think i'm gonna go i think i'm just gonna do this. I think I'm going to go... I think I'm just going to do it. He's going to reach out to Scary.

Hey, man, you're the interest in... You know. Influencing. So it has like a big brother angle to it, huh? Kourtney Kardashian's fucking shit keeps copying me. So I guess I do have a little influence in that realm. This sounds like the dumbest thing ever.

Pirate. Pirate. Pirate. Virtual reality technology that the company says will allow users to participate and control what happens on the island in real time. Have Billy McFarland and Elon Musk

ever exchanged words? Have they ever spoken? Have they ever exchanged text messages? Maybe an email? I don't know the answer to these questions. Have they been on an email together? Why? I don't know the answer to these questions. Have they been on an email together? Why? I don't know.

I would just like to see their correspondence together. Elon seems to have a story for his Galane photo. What's the story? He said he was photobombed. Yeah, okay, bud. Okay. Okay. Yeah.
