Ranchos. All right, we're back. This is a circling back podcast Monday morning. A beautiful morning in Austin, Texas, I must say. Crisp adjacent, maybe. It was chilly this morning. 36 degrees, huh? It might have been crisp.

That's downright crispy. What are you talking about? I didn't get to, I wasn't outside long enough to experience it and give my full badge of approval. Like splits the upright. of crispiness. You know? Oh, yeah, sports analogy.

Yeah. Cousin Sal bringing it today. My name is Dave and welcome to all the stoolies who surely joined the show after our guest appearance last week from Kelly Keogh. Kelly was great, man. Kelly was great. What a treat. People seem to agree with me.

Yeah, I think my only thing I would change, I would have her sit next to you. Why? Again, it's the... Well, then I'm doing that. It's a little bit more difficult, like, really, like, versus me just being able to, you know? And for the folks at home who don't know, Dylan requested that she did not sit next to him. Yeah, I did. So you didn't want to get mugged on.

Oh, yeah, I didn't want to get mugged. He was worried about a maugging. A logging was in play. No, she was excellent, man. She's a total pro. You just let her cook. She'll do it. She'll cook.

It's a long show. We'll talk Central Park horses. Thursday show if he missed it. The very viral plain breakup story of which she broke. Whole thing. It's podcast week, but there's something else going down this week. Hmm. Hmm.

What could it be? What could it be? Ah. Co-worker week. Oh my gosh. It's here, isn't it? What? Man, it's a great.

great day to be a backer behind the paywall. Not only did last week's, everything we've done on Patreon this month has been great, but tomorrow, nothing but straight up co-worker week's stories. Calls, emails, it's going to be great. You can email those in. Today's the last day. Dave at washedmedia.com or if you don't want to type it out, just hit the pipeline. 888-618-48-422.

Leave us voicemail. I'll say, hey, this is for co-worker week, blah, blah, blah, and I'll check it. And tomorrow's show is going to be a really fun one. So check it out. Good reviews on our last voicemails, too. People are liking it. What's not to like, man? Are you surprised by that?

Does it shock you? Is it shocking? It's shocking when, you know, people are like, this is a banger. I think they're all bingers, but, you know, good to see. I just got a cameo notification. Oh, my five-star roundup is here. That's not what I thought. I thought somebody was requesting one.

It's going to do it on air. going to do it live. Damn, that would have been sick. People would have been like, whoa, this podcast is different. You get many more than I do. I'll have like a week where I get like three and then I'll have like six weeks of nothing. So it's very, it comes in spurts.

I'll get a week where I get one and then like 10 weeks of nothing. And that's okay. Your cameos are good. They're fine. No, they're really good if you want to hop on there. No, it's whatever. You're everyone's favorite. and I get it.

Not anymore. Not after that draft. Not after the draft. Dude, you got dunked on, dog. I mean, I'll be honest, Randy kind of got dunked on. So did Randy. Randy. Oh, hey, we'll save it for later.

Fried pickles first round. A lot of people were liking. A lot of people were. We'll see. I thought, Randy, I thought you had a good draft. Hey, hey, we have a whole segment on it later. How about we save it? Breaking Come news.

We had the dumbest pre-show conversation. How did that even start? Because of CNN, you said it was C-U-M. Randy, Randy was questioning the CNN. Instagram, I sent him for a second. He just said me something like, oh, CNN, huh? The way you said, yeah. You sent me some fake news, the fake news media.

It was about a monkey. Punch? Yeah. My dog, punch? And we decided at CNN, what if CNN was something else? What if it was C-U-M? What if I said the biggest? That would not be a good news network.

Y'all are the only ones in the world having this conversation around. You were kind of you were adjacent don't I was in the room you were sitting right there I wasn't participating I feel like you had some you added something of value no I didn't you like for a second you you became a multi-celled organism instead of a meba McIntyre yeah who did shout out to the redder who did that edit I laughed at that for an hour it's the is so dumb and if you don't have context you don't know what you're looking at it's me as an amoeba But you got your podcasting. You still have your mustache.

Can you pull it up? Yeah. It has a mustache? I didn't guess that part. It's, it's a well done image. I hope it wasn't AI. I feel like AI wouldn't be able to put that together.

And so that is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. It's from when I had the, my sleeveless, my sleeveless shirt on. Oh yeah, I didn't even make that connection. Why did we call you an amoeba? What happened?

Because we were saying that he was a single cell organism. Okay, but why? I think it's because he had no motion. It's about me being stupid or something. I don't know. Were you just glaring lack of motion? What's with the eye? There's no eyes, just eyebrows.

It's weirding me out. Can you get that off the screen? It's upsetting me. Actually. Hey, sneaky Reba McIntyre sticker. You can kind of see the eyes if you really look at there. Eyes without a face. Yeah, there's that.

How about it. Hey, y'all, it's Reba. Oh, I didn't catch the Reeva on the laptop. That's good. Crazy motion. I would like to get my intro, please, Dave. Thank you. Wow.

You have not introduced me nor Dylan. Oh, ma'am, I'm sure people are so upset. The moment you've all been waiting for Randy Trumbacki. Hi, Dave. I would also like to welcome all the people that found us from TikTok and Instagram last week. Things were going viral. are cooking on the grom right now big motion over there we're the authority on on frat culture we we really are is that it yeah now you can introduce dylan if you'd really like to i was gonna also

talk about the instagram but um i'm happy to be here man it's gonna be a great week of content maybe you have something new you can add to it i that's what i was i had that one in my hip pocket And I was like, let's do it. And then Randy just stepped on my shit because he gets the first intro. I don't know, man. I'm just. You can't let that stuff rattle you. We just started the show.

You can't let that bring you down. No, I'm not. I'm actually totally cool. It's the first show of the week. It's co-worker week, as I mentioned. Yeah. You're my coworker. You got any crazy stories about me, dog?

Yeah. Do you want to know? Actually, I'll use my intro to talk about, no, never mind. I'll save that for this weekend and fun. Actually, it wasn't a fun thing. I was going to talk about the gas incident in my home. Too many slots. A lot of eggs.

Dude, I'll just say it right now. I took parts. I made myself breakfast. I went to pick up parks from his mother's house. Took him to baseball practice. Saturday morning. I came back, walking the door of my home. Smelled like gas.

I left the burner on, not the flame going, just the gas burner stove on for two of, hours and 40 minutes. Luckily, it was on like a low setting, but I could smell it. The dogs were home. I panicked. Turned it off. Open the windows. Open the doors. Turn the fan on. Took the dogs outside for a while. I freaked out. I got on chat GPT. I was like, what do I need to look for? Like, what's the concern here? They say, keep an eye on the dogs. If they start to show signs of being lethargic or vomiting, anything like that, then you need to take them in. They were totally cool. Um, It scared the shit out of me.

I wasn't going to tell Chels because I didn't want to, she was out of town. I didn't want her to panic. Well, she saw me on the ring camera sitting by like an open window in the house. I think she got like an alert of the movement or whatever. And so she called me and I was like, yeah, it scared the shit out of me, man. Yeah. It's one of those things like in the back of your mind. Like, did I leave the stove on and you like, you never actually do except I did this time.

Would have been better if the flame was on because the gas would have been burned up, obviously. dogs are okay everything's okay all right so this would be a good conversation for jason your uh your old roommate max max roommate because he's a he probably knows about this shit right

this is something that because when this happens fire department right first response i don't think so um no because that that's first of all that that's very terrifying I think most a lot of people share that fear right yeah that's probably in the top five if you were to draft a common homeowner fears you know I mean like if you have that that's that's one that's always in the back of your head um and I share this view we had a during like the freeze during COVID and the freeze um our fucking uh our old house the oven like that we were trying to we were trying to cook

obviously and like it started like pouring gas out of it and something fucked up and we had to get everybody out of the house and go to the neighbors and the fire department came they were like there in like 25 minutes shockingly this is during like the bad bad freeze and they were there and they were just like you should get your carbon monoxide detector and you should always have it knee or ankle level because of the way gas that gas doesn't rise it sits. Yeah. And so it piles up.

And if you have it up high, like, you know, by a smoke detector, for example, up there, by the time it gets up there, that room is already full. I would never even think about that. Yeah. I had never had that thought. But that is something to think about. But that's what bothers me. It's like two and a half hours, even though on a low, low setting seems like a long time.

I mean, I smelled it right when I walked in the house. And it's shocking that it didn't set anything off. Yeah, I know. Nothing at all. I got lucky. that the dogs were not affected at all. Yeah, because they're obviously low to the ground. Yeah.

They see. Do you know what room do they hang out in? Right next to the kitchen. Okay. Yeah, because we have them kind of, we have them kind of segmented off. So they're, they sleep like right next to the kitchen. Damn. I know, it's scared the hell out of me, man.

But everything's okay. Dogs are told, they act like they weren't even affected at all. So that was, that was nice to see. But lesson learned, I will be double checking that from now on. Because I made myself eggs. Yeah, we know. I made myself eggs. And I mean, I clearly did turn it off because the flame was off.

And then I must have just bumped it or something like unknowingly weird. So now I'll be always concerned about that moving forward. Fuck, that's, that's worse. Yeah. Like that you just brushed it. Because that's like also an OCD fear. It's like you just bump it. Because you got to like those knobs, you got to like push and then turn.

That's a little safety feature built into. it and I really have no idea how I did it. I'm just glad that still didn't spark up a J when you were gone. Yeah, that could have been bad, man. She usually does that when I'm not home too. I know. Is she still doing the wake and bake? Yeah.

I'm trying to get her to stop. She can't. No. Yeah. You're a good girl. Yeah. I saw her for a minute Saturday. You do.

Um, again, it's co-worker week. Get those stories in, huh? You know what? I think it's time just to talk about our weekend. Our weekend and fun. Wow. Bro, let's go out this weekend. There's a crazy event happening.

I like to turn up. Bro, there's a crazy event happening. We had the party and it was lit. I got yelled out by a prostitute. Let's just go have fun and let go a little. Little more girls, let's go. This weekend and fun presented by Pancho Outdoors, y'all. Man, I was at an event on Saturday.

And including myself, there was like four or five dads at this party that were all just ponchoed out. All the dads are rocking poncho. Not just the dads. Pancho's big with dads, man. Because it's dope. And the young bucks, too, obviously, because it's a dope brand. But the dads are just, like, swarming to it. I love it.

It's my favorite shirt. The denim shirt. What's the denim shirt? Is that the Marfa? The Marfa is the light denim. The light wash denim one. I love a light wash. Yeah.

And the Marfa is great. I have that one in Sage Green. It's the same material, same like heavy denim material. That's become your go-to. Dude, I freaking love it. I noticed you've worn it twice in the last month. I have, yeah. Thank you for pointing that out.

Didn't you wear that when Kigs was on? I was trying, yeah, I was trying to impress her a little bit, I guess, with the macho. I think it worked. I don't know. I think it did, too. I think it did, too. The flannels, too. The flannels are so comfortable and like just kind of not bulky and stiff, just very

flexible and nice. And like we said, the denim that's broken in from day one. It's not like a bulky denim. I have like a vintage other brand denim shirt from like it's like real old school brand and it's so uncomfortable. I don't wear it. The poncho one is soft and extremely comfortable. Like if I needed to like slap Dylan around or like put my hands on them in that thing, I could.

I would not be limited by it. I don't know why you would. If I just if I needed to. But sure. It's never come to that. It is a good slap dilling around shirt if that's what you're talking about. Free shipping, free returns. Even exchanges any time.

You want to hear about my weekend? You're a little flirty today. I FaceTime my girlfriend all weekend. Do you have a big FaceTime? You're very, very cool dressed time. Randy came in here with so much energy this morning. You know exactly why. Actually, you probably don't.

If I'm in this office and I'm dressed up looking good, what does that mean? It means that Barrett Dudley is going to be in later and I got to look good for him. That's what it means. recording retail therapy today. Dude, I'm telling you, he came in this morning. Like, Brett and I, it's Monday morning. You're like, you know, all groggy. He got his COVID on.

He was just buzzing. Mm-hmm. Like, an annoying amount of energy. That's probably because I was, before I came in, I was probably in bed 30 minutes before. I naturally wake up. I don't take another caffeine.

I don't know what that has to do. I'm just saying. No caffeine, huh? Never. Wow. So this is just you. This is just me. Okay.

Anyways. How was your weekend? So my weekend, I went to go play golf with one Daniel Register, register, however you want to say it. Play Jimmy Clay, no? I played Jimmy Clay. We played the front nine twice because we were racing against the sun. So we were able to get a full 18 in. Why?

Okay, so you played the same. Why not the back nine? Because there was groups in front of us. So we probably still have to be waiting. And then Dan went in and said, hey, is anyone going to? going off of, you know, first T. Oh, so you didn't get to play. Number 10 at Clay is one of the most controversial holes in golf.

Did not get to play. It's par four, tee off, and the green is extremely elevated. You know which what I'm talking about? Uh-huh. Like, unnecessary, I don't think it's a particularly good golf hole, but that's my take. Number one is a tough shot, a tough T-shot. Get the water left, you got the trees right, you go. through to a number other fairway.

Dan goes over the water. Fuck yeah. I do not. How'd you play? I'm still, I'm still just bad at golf, but I wasn't terrible. I shot a 107. Did you enjoy yourself? Yeah, things were doing better than usual.

My putting was great. But my PR, I still haven't broken 100. I've gotten 100 on the dot. But overall, I'll get there. You'll get there. You'll get. I just had to blow up on hole four, both times through. which was the par five shot nine the first time and ten the second time i just could not that

whole just screwed me it's a tough game randy yeah what about dan dan did well i think he was well i mean i don't know if he did well he probably went consider he was low 90s okay i just have no aim when it comes to my second shot did you have any ice cold beers did not no didn't drink at all well overall it was a nice day it was overcast and like like it was cool over like upper 60s yeah so i did better than i thought i was going to do you got out there that's all the matters yeah after not doing a fool around in probably a year we'll see we're on the train to break 100 so that was friday um then pretty much not nothing much else saturday just hung around did chores been working on a little art project too did some of that

I went to home goods. I got a rant. I got a rant that I could go on. You want me going to rant right now? Go on a rant. I know the whole war on Christmas thing has gone in the past. But if there's a war on Christmas, Christmas is the aggressor here.

It is ridiculous. It's been going into Halloween way too much. And now every holiday has a Christmas tree component. There's like St. Patty's Day and Valentine's Day, Christmas trees. What's going on here? It's almost like the war on Christmas was a complete fabrication and I don't know, used to push cable news

ratings in like the, in like 2007. All I'm saying is that Christmas is not staying in its lane and it is overstepping. They weren't going to get rid of Christmas, it turns out. No. Apologies to Bill O'Reilly. If anything, it's taking over other holidays. Too much.

Too much. We just made, dude, it's like, Dude, it's like Christmas basically did the thing when, like, you don't finish your antibiotics and it comes back even stronger. Somebody did, they didn't finish, the left didn't finish the job on Christmas. And now Christmas is back with a vengeance. Oh, yeah. Christmas is like, you know what?

That's what happened. Should have finished your antibiotics, hoss. I always, now I'm happening. You always got a finish. You have to. You've been on that hill. It's reckless not to. Exactly.

So that's, I mean, nothing, nothing much. Just kind of chilling. chilling he says yeah very cool I watched the hockey I did get up early Sunday morning to watch we're gonna have bread on here in a few minutes to talk a little talk about that

Dylan shivery thanks for asking Friday that's one thing I really wish you wouldn't you always respond like I asked the question but I didn't I didn't have he just says Dylan shiver yeah thanks for calling on me

I'm gonna start let's do it different ready Okay. Dylan, man, how was your weekend? Thanks for asking. It's very, that's very kind of you. I wonder about my weekend. Chelsea was out of town Friday, Saturday. So Friday, I haven't had like a just a lazy, like, just buried in the couch night in a long time. So watch the Texas baseball game. Well, I popped a gummy, watched the Texas baseball game, and then I watched Fall on Netflix, and it spiked my cortisol like crazy. I'm going to talk about that later on.

It was a great, it was just a great night. Other than the high stress of watching a movie that no one who has a fear of heights should watch. That is pretty stressful. Do you do anything to calm down after? No, went to bed. Yeah. Saturday like a shower before bed? I do.

Yeah. Like a nice warm shower. I think it helps. Yeah. I sleep pretty well. Saturday, like I said, I took parks of baseball practice Saturday morning and almost killed the dogs accidentally with the gas situation. And then Parks had a birthday party. Little guy had his 11th birthday party.

He went to Pins Mechanical, which is a really cool spot. Dude. All of his little buds were there. They were having a blast. Great Pins weather, too. Yeah. Because it's a, you know, they have like the open air part? Do you know that that was supposed to be the, uh, the market that we, we, because it was

announced when we worked over there. Yeah, it was announced when we worked, the paint factory because it was really close to it. And then I guess that project fell through. And now it's a massive. massive, like, arcade bowling venue thing that's pretty cool. I still know how they make enough money to afford that space. No, especially when scumbags like me bring their kid there and just go play the Ninja Turtles game, which is free. Which is completely free. Arcade game. Yeah. We'll just go sit there for like an hour. I really, I had this conversation with one of the dads at the party. Like,

how does this place stay in business? I don't know how they make enough money. Yeah, warehouses around there usually costs a lot of money to rent. Yeah, that's facts. And this is a massive, massive space. Ballin-hour. So that was Saturday. and then went out with some buds Saturday night. I went over to my friend Mikey's house, and then we stepped out to Maddo Ranchos. Maddo Ranchos, Mattel Ranchos, Mattel Ranchos, and from there, we went to Deep Eddie, and my friend Dave right here met up with us.

Dude, no spoil my weekend. It was a great time. I had a lot of fun, man. Drink some beers with the boys. Yeah. And then Sunday, Chos got back in town, and it was a very, very, very. very lazy Sunday, and we went to a little birthday dinner for Parks. It was me, Chels, Parks' mother and stepfather.

And we went to Ramen Tatsuya on the east side, which is a different little, a little bit of a cooler vibe over there. And we had fun. And that was it. Great little weekend. Mattel Ranchos, Deep Eddy, Ramantatsuya, you had a very Austin weekend. I'm straight living right now, man. What did you order at ramen? I got the miso not with two.

two extra hard-boiled eggs because they're so freaking good there what do you call the hard-boiled egg there's a japanese word for it i don't know so i thought the guy who like loves japan and went to japan might know but starts with an a oh yeah does doesn't it i can't remember what they call it but man it's good yeah that sounds that does sound pretty good yeah randy's looking it up we were straight eat okay yeah i think i don't think i've been to the one on that you saw it That's my first time. It's cool. Parz is just so cool.

He has to go to the east side. Yeah. He's like, man, it's just better vibes. Yeah, he said, I want a better, I want an elevated vibe is what he said. And he got it. Yeah. Hey, Dave, how about you? Fantastic.

What did you do? Yeah. Thanks for asking. Yeah. Thanks for asking. Any word there, Randall? I'm trying to, I'm trying to find a hearing. It's really not a little bit.

I'm just trying to find how to pronounce it. It's, uh, ah, jitukee, too, okay. Agi-tukee too ke. That's the one. That's the one. Suukee suke. But I just asked for the two extra eggs. I didn't do the word.

Two extra azuki. Ajuki. What did Dave do this weekend? Man, great question. As you are aware, my wife was out of town. She was at a really cool place, Palmetto Bluff. Very nice. I wasn't there.

I was here. And I had the boys. And they're a lot of fun. and they're a little bit of work but all in all it was a great weekend um Friday man what did we do Friday around here we had little I know I ducked out a little bit early I had to go pick the boys up from school went home cooked him dinner did the whole thing I think I watched two sopranos season two no I'm done with season two I'm on to season three just kind of do it. This is probably my fourth time through, although I am just kind of hopping

around. In bed got up Saturday. This is where it got interesting. Had a birthday party at two. Not for any of my friends. It was for one of Rhodes friends. It's at a place called urban air. It's out in bee caves. None of your two-year-old friends? None of my two-year-old friends. This place is a lot. Been there once. Been there once. It is obstacle, course, trampoline park. Zip lines. You have one of those jost trampoline basketball situations where you can yam if you want to. I thought about how fun that might be and it was completely dominated by high school kids that were standing there.

And they were just, they had one guy down by the, by the hoop who was going up to block and they had another dude. Then the guy would go try to dunk on him. That sounds kind of sick. Every time somebody got yammed on. It was like, oh! And they were recording it. And I was like, there's no chance I'm getting in on this. You should have yammed.

It was, I'm not kidding. Like, these high school kids went there just for that. And I totally get it. Yeah. It's sick. That place is a scene, man. Like you walk in, I had no idea what I was getting into. And all of a sudden, there was a kid on a zip line,

but like totally strapped in going over my. head and I was like Jesus the fuck yeah what's what is this uh they've got like a ball pit which gives me anxiety just because you know it's smoke crazy in there but it's not just a ball pit it's got like uh like rope swings in it it's got stuff you can climb on like you're it's a ball pit but kids are flying around it i used to take your girl into the ball pit really yeah when was this i don't know well back which ball pit that one urban air yeah

yeah what you do behind close doors on your own time rannies up to you well pits are sick um do you have a little contrapped never mind um where was that thought going a little contraption uh what else uh got out of there and i was like man it's like five o'clock hungry got my boy with me my boy roads and um we're driving home and i said buddy do you want to you want to you want to you know I'm gonna go get dinner? He said, yeah.

He's like, like at a restaurant? I'm like, yeah. And he's like, what kind of restaurant? And I was like, a Tex-Mex restaurant. He's like, that's El Rancho? I'm at Al Ranchos. And I said, yeah, you were waiting. You were on it.

You knew where that was going. We went to Matt's, about 545. And I did the, as I was sitting in one of the worst lights in Austin, I hopped on the Madel Rancho's wait list thing. Used it. So there was like 91 people in front of me, groups. And I was like, well, this could either, this is going to go poorly or this is going to go really well. It's like two of us.

I'm going to play the kid card. And I did. So get in there, park, go up. And I'm like, it's just two. I'm like, just me and my son. Like, it was very emphasize, you know, I was emphasizing, just me and my boy, my son, you know, just two of us will be in and out tactical. And we waited for a bit, went and got him a lemonade at the bar. I got me an ice cold beer host.

Hell yeah. And it was very crowded. It was a big, a big 20 to 26 year old hangout spot. I'll say the kids were out and about that day. The college kids have found Maddo Ranchos. They have. And it got to the point to where it was so crowded like we were waiting. I was like, buddy, I'm just going to have to pick you up and hold you.

Dude. Like, you're too tiny. If you had gone two hours later when we went, it was one of the busiest I've ever seen that restaurant. Not kidding. I believe it. It was insane. I believe it. He just basically munched on tortillas and queso.

Your boy, I showed you what I ate, my brisket enchiladas. Yeah, you showed us. You know what? Actually, I'm sorry. It's a visual show. I need, Randy, I have to show you what I ordered because you're not going to believe it. And even though I just said it, like, it's a visual. And I've had them before.

But have you had those yet, the brisket enchiladas? I have. You know what I did last time I was there? Not this most recent time. I won before. I got a queso topping on it. And it was, while very delicious, it was one of the heaviest meals I've had in a long time. Just queso on top of brisket enchiladas.

I went with the verde. And I said Verde when she asked what kind of sauce. And she goes to green. And I was like, I should have just said green, huh? I should have just said green. I don't know. Is it Tomatillo? Yeah.

Oh, Tomatio. Yeah. Yeah. How about that? Wow, look at those are, they look delicious, man. Those are some, wow. Dave. I know.

That looks really good. Mm, hungry. It's like they really smoked that brisket, too, the way that's just a beautiful shot. They smoke it in-house. Shouts to Rhodes, though, just holding it down with the tortilla. Man, it was, it was great. His hair's getting long, dog. Dude.

It's insanely long and thick. So he's, I learned this today. I forgot like his, Alyssa's grandfather had like thick, full hair like forever. And like, because otherwise like it's just dude having like his family tree, it's just bald dudes. Yeah.

And soon to be. And I think he got, I'm hoping he got his hair because his hair is crazy thick. And yeah, dude, it was a lot of fun. It was, we just sat there, had another couple beers,

uh, vibed out outside. Um, just delightful. We're in and out of there in about 50 minutes. Went home, uh, got him in bed. Dylan fired off a text. I said, oh, we'll see about it. It was the toad man that really brought you in, wasn't it? He didn't step out too often. No, I know. Wasn't even that. I was just like, deep eddy sounds great. I love a good, I don't, we don't go to deep eddy very often. Maybe like four or five times a year. I was like, dude, I could do a deep Eddie. I was like, why not? Ubered over there.

We were there for like an hour. I was there for an hour. It was great, but it was perfect. Went home, had time popped on on other Sopranos, got up Sunday morning, woke up like three till seven, fired it up, got the family out there, started watching Puck, and we'll talk about that in a minute. But one of the best Sundays of the year, one of the best Sundays in a long time, man. weather was great the vibes were high post-USA hit the gym hit t-ball practice at four

rog's one area of improvement he's getting it from his glove to like to throw glove to hand like the ball like way quicker like probably like one of the quickest on the team he totally is getting it like nice with it the throw is not i mean he's he's five not always most accurate but he's getting it over there. It's flashing a little leather, which like last season, you know, he knows he's supposed to throw it to first, but like,

you know, it's like a very deliberate and it's like there's no point even throwing it. The kid's been on the base for like three seconds. But now it's like, we're going to get some outs this season. The Cubbies are going to turn some heads. It's fun to watch, man.

I'm pretty, it's fun because like most of the kids on the team were on the team last season. It's fun seeing how much better they've gotten. Um, I got Nardtap by a kid on the team. Told Dylan that. I was like,

we're not doing that. He's doing it. Just popped me with the glove. Like, we just, I don't know about that one. Unbelievable move for a fight. One of the funniest things ever.

I'm like, look at around. I'm like, did anybody see that? Are you all kidding me? Uh, nobody threw dirt in anybody's face. It was just,

it was dope, man. You love to see it. And last night, man, close it all down, industry. Nights. I did not watch. I'll watch today.

Just a solid way to end the season, Randall. You're going to love it. That's the season. Yeah. Okay. You're going to, it's just going to make you feel good. Good. It's just good.

Good. And industry, one of the, last week's industry was one of the best of the whole series, definitely of this season. And the finale, I believe the finale last, industry. Oh, wait. Hang. Not the finale? This one was the finale. The finale was really good, too.

Okay. Okay. I miss what you said. Because you and Will were just ranting and raving about that episode. Last week's, yeah. And Will hasn't finished it, so I haven't been able to talk to finale with them. But that's that. Great vibes all around.

Speaking of great vibes, what you got in your mouth, Haas? You know I got a Lucy. You know, I got the 8 milligram apple ice-flavored Lucy breaker, which is my go-to. I freaking love it. It gets me dialed. It gives me a little lift. Best time to take is after a full stomach after breakfast. I love it, man.

I like the gum. They've got gum, too. As little as 2 milligram each, you want to feel a little something. Yeah, it's great. I like the mango flavor, but you're an apple ice guy through and through it, man. The pouches and the breakers, they come in 4, 8, 8, and 12 milligram. A little something for everybody. They're awesome.

Looky handsome. You got like a little, you guys got a date later I don't know about? No. He's dressed up cute for Barrett. What are you dressed up for? Nothing. I got nothing. I just kind of.

Let's figure I'd lead off a Monday and not do the joggers and crew net combo that I do. Sometimes it feels like dressing up like you go into a real job. You know, this is very much not one of those, but it feels like it's more real when you dress up a little bit. Yeah, I think, yeah, I kind of wanted to have a day of productivity. Not that I don't want to ever do that, but it just kind of felt like, all right, let's put something on today. It's not joggers in a crue neck sweater. Oh, man. What a Sunday morning we had.

vibes at an all-time high. Felt pretty good going in, but not great. Just like just great, just pretty good in like the sense that, first of all, my fins secured the bronze the day before. Everybody knows I'm rocking with the fins. And I'm like, you know what? I'm proud of this team no matter what. Obviously some holes on the roster, Bill Garron, but it's hard to second guess is that we are the gold medal Olympians, like such as U.S. Americans. It's Brett Arriman. Tell us about your experience watching this game.

I went over to a buddy's place. Their apartment complex, I guess you could call it. It's a skyscraper in Austin, Texas. Has a feeder room, Dave. Love that. Amenities. Next to the golf sim. What?

Cold plunge. Oh, in a cold plunge? Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. Their amenity floor looks straight out of like a five-star hotel. That's the newest building downtown? Yeah, 6G. Yeah, yeah. The big, the big sucker.

And they have a big, you know, that you can rent out the feeder room. And so we did that. Had a little squad over there to watch the boys go for gold. And got over about seven. Had a couple Mickey Bang Bangs and we were in it. What was the cuisine? Did you guys do some apps? Did not do any apps.

I did get, I got a couple of calaches on my way. home though okay some some gold medal celebratory calacchi's but it uh it it started fast the the puck i you know i i has it i wanted lead off by saying it was the greatest sporting moment of my life was yesterday morning which earlier you said because bill's fan before that you hadn't experienced much winning yeah we we i me haven't haven't won a whole lot in terms of like championships saves, bills, rubs of course. Yeah,

just a lot of, a lot of good teams, a lot of loss. And it was, it was the first, you know, I think back to the first time

I really tuned in to like Olympic hockey would have been 2002 that, that squad, which came close. That was the Madonna, Czuch,

Mark Recky and the boys. Ah, yeah. 2006, we kind of got, kind of got dusted. 2010. We got Crosbyde. 2014.

We got beat. It was obviously T.J. Oshy. And then after that, the Olympic hockey didn't have NHL guys until this year. So, well, 2022 they were supposed to. And then COVID and Beijing. Anyway, I'll lead off by saying it was the greatest sporting moment of my life. I was bawling yesterday. I wish my dad could have been there to see it.

He was always a big hockey fan. I felt the same feeling I did growing, being a little kid again. And it was, it was unbelievable. It was absolutely unbelievable. Now, to the hockey itself, first period, Fast and Furious, Boldie gets the boys on the board with an effort play. Like you read about chips the puck between two Canadian defenders, you know, and just fucking splits them. And here we go, puck past Binner, won nothing U.S. It was a grinder's goal.

It was. You got to stay with it. So I had to pick up Chelsea from the airport on Sunday morning. Her flight arrived at 9.30 a.m. So I pretty much missed the entire third period and beyond. You didn't miss anything? I miss all the excitement. You miss Connor Hellebuck just bailing the U.S. out time and time again.

I was getting updates. I saw that it was five on three with like a couple minutes to go. I was like, oh, well, this was fun. Silver is nothing wrong with silver. Five on three. you're typically cooked in like normal circumstances and then like when you have like you know the greatest power play ever assembled and you're like yeah i thought it was like literally no way potentially the greatest power play ever assembled how did they hang on to that it just

standing on his head what's his face well i mean he made some good saves but it was honestly it was just it was a good kill it was the you know want to face off here and there get the puck down but that five on three this i mean the second period obviously the the tie changed a little bit, especially, you know, Canada scores. And then the five on three happens. And I said the same thing. I was like, oh, that's kind of it. That's sort of where the momentum switch period.

But we kill the penalty. Penalties, I suppose. And then we're playing on our heels the rest of the way. Shots in the second and third, I think we're like 3315 or 3318 Canadians. And it was a hold on for dear life. we got really, I don't know, sloppy, nervous. We were just chipping the puck to open space and kind of regrouping, hoping, you know, just kind of saying they can't score from the other blue line.

And it was not like the US wasn't play a pretty hockey game for 90% of it. And then I texted Dave, I said, we could really use a goal score right now, you know, somebody who does that specifically. Yeah. I don't really know what, you know, what it went into the mindset. on like building that roster. I know there's like a certain type of guy they were looking for and like just like your pure score, a sniper type.

Like he didn't make the, we're talking about Robo, Jason Robertson, our little Dallas star. But it's hard to second guess it now. But especially when Trocheck and J.T. Miller and the traditionally looked at as like bubble guys that shouldn't be on the team played so much. Yeah. And Trocheck, he was kind of their designated faceoff guy. He gets put out there for a couple draws, especially in overtime, where he basically takes the draw and skates right to the bench.

So, like, you can second guess it coming in like a lot of people did in the hockey sphere. And then now you have a gold medal and Brock Nelson, J.T. Miller and Vinny Trochecker guys are like, oh, they kind of did their job. They played a lot more than I think people thought they should, expected to, especially on the kill. and the U.S. killed every penalty of the tournament. That's crazy. But like at the end of, like, your goaltender was insane. I mean, he saved the game.

We'll never buy another drink anywhere in this country. And like, yeah, much maligned, hell, Buck. So he couldn't win the big one. When did Hughes get his teeth jacked up? At what point in the game? I believe it was in the third, because the U.S., he gets smoked with a high stick, just like really, like absolutely smoked. And whoever, I forget who it was, Beau Horvett, or somebody gets the double minor because he drew blood.

Right. So double minor for the U.S., which we immediately decided to take a penalty. It's a four minute. Four minute power play. Yep, four minute power play. We don't do much with it. And then a couple seconds into the ensuing power play. somebody trips, forget who it was, just a really bad trip.

And so we'd go to four on four. And then obviously Canada will have a power play after that. So there were so many moments of that game where I was just like, oh, well, it was a fun, it was a fun couple minutes here, a fun hour and a half. You had a wide open net missed. McKenon. I saw. I missed it.

I had, I watched the, I guess, low light this morning. I hadn't seen it yet. Wow. There was one where I think Jake Sanderson, like the punches kind of flipping through the air. and he just happens, or Charlie McEvoy just happens to be like standing on our goal line behind Hellebuck. Like that's the type of goal and usually in U.S. hockey that just goes in against us. And it's some shitty cheap flip of the puck.

We also had a double post miss in the third period. Yeah. I saw that. I did see that. A great tip that goes off the crossbar. So I mean, we had we had chances Canada that obviously had more chances. Hellebuck came up with a bunch of unbelievable saves. Can I say like so the the cope on Twitter from Team Canada fans like we dominated this game

if you look at you know blah-blah. Kimman said that. Well, so yeah, I hate it from their fans. But I actually tweeted this, but I actually do, I do like the fact that there are guys and he is, you know, guys at the top of their sport, the elite of the elite that still don't handle winning or losing the right way. They are the biggest babies. And that's funny to me

because everybody like playing growing up had kids on their team like that. They were really good and just, they never handled losing really well. Like they did all the wrong things that your coach tells you not to do. And you're always like, okay, well, they'll either grow out of that

or they will never, you know, get to the next level. Well, like, there's still guys who get to the top of the sport and still react that way. And it's funny. Like, it is, it's lame to have that take,

but also, like, I just love it for just, having those characters around 100% and they didn't have crosbie playing and so people are like well if we had crosbie we and just hockey sometimes just works like that like the better team doesn't always win and it happens in every sport's our day man yeah and sometimes you just have you have a day where you get goalied you miss a net the you know johnny goddrae looking down mckinin they're like there's so many things that just kind of went right and the bounces went our way for once. And then three on three overtime happens. And, you know, people, people talk shit about

three on three, but these guys play three on three on three so much in the NHL. It's still, it's still a hockey. You play three on three on three on the pond all the time. It was four on four in 2010. It was three on three now. If it's up to me, just play five on five until somebody scores. That's the ideal. But I'm not as much of a three on three hater, I think, as other people are, I'm very glad it doesn't go to a shootout automatically. Yeah. World Cups are decided by shootouts. I think that's crazy.

That's crazy. So Dave and I tested, he's like, I don't want to go to three on three. That's not fun. No, and like, that's, that obvious, like, dude, we are not, we do not have the advantage when they can put like three of the best, three, the three best players on Earth. The three best players. Like, at the same time, it's like, dude, I don't, I don't really like our chances, but what do I know? Yeah.

I was so excited. I got to, I got Rhodes to watch it. Nice. I was like, buddy, we're not watching anything. I was like one day, I told him one day you'll thank me. And then I was like, eh. I don't think he's going to remember. No, I think he will.

I truly think he'll be like, you know what? I do remember that. He's four, right? Five. Five. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He'll have that.

He was, he was paying attention. You know, I was thinking like, we were talking a little hockey. I'm like, man, get a little net in the, in the driveway. get you a stick, get your little ball, can just start working the shot a little bit. It's going to happen. But yeah,

when they brought out the Goodrow Boys, or his son and daughter, like the kids, I was like, because I was watching it and I had it on, I had the volume down because at that point,

I'm like trying to make breakfast and stuff. And I was like, uh-oh, uh-oh. So I walk over and I'm doing like the stand really close to the TV and watch it. Yeah.

Because I don't want everybody to see me like bawling. Yeah. And I was just like, I lost it, dude. I lost it too, Dave. I was crying, like, I had tears in my eyes when we won. Like, I had first shock, belation, disbelief. And then I, like, sat back down on the couch and I just, I welled up, man.

It was just the moment of like, holy shit, this finally happened, 46 years in the making. And then, like, it was like, you're just crying. And then, like, you're like, all right, I'm done. I'm good. And then, like, to see the boys, like, just pounding beers with Cash Patel. I was just crying, dude. It was so sick. But when they brought, like you just see the Goudro, the Goudreau family in the stands.

Like Johnny would have been on that team. And to see his parents just sort of in like this weird state between like belated, upset, you know, grief all like wearing that look and watching the boys celebrate. And then they bring out Johnny's kids in his jersey. I was toast, man. I lost it. Absolutely lost it. And it was just, it was. the coolest moment.

For sure in USA hockey history since the Miracle on Ice and of my lifetime. I just, I couldn't, we just kept looking and the buddies I was with, I played hockey with growing up. And it was just like, holy shit, dude. This, unbelievable that this happened. It was finally there.

Like, just what a moment. It was crazy that was the anniversary too. Yeah. Of Miracle on Ice. 46 years. To the actual day? Yeah. I didn't know that.

Yeah. That's cool. and like George Washington's birthday it was just a it was an odd a very American I think it was one of the Goudreau kids birthdays too damn and it was just like things like that man was it like Nelson that he's the third

member in his family now like his grandfather won the gold medal his father did and now he did too it's like that's so fucking cool too yeah just it just kind of crazy man like a US hockey you know you grow up and you always kind of know that you're not as good as Canada

but maybe someday. Like we have the talent it's like in generation after generation being inspired to be the next Mike Madano to be the next you know Austin Matthews and it just finally like 1980 inspired the guys in the 90s

to then play the 2002 and get closed the early 2000s hockey probably like the most identifiable US generation of like the physical and the puck movement and whatever you want to call it, inspiring the guys in 2010 and 2014, who then these guys were all 15, 16 years old

when seeing that, and then all of a sudden, here we go. We have a gold medal. It's just cool, man. It makes growing up playing hockey, like, I don't know. There's something about it that you just feel like that was worth it. Like the whole shebang, man. Our ladies get it done too?

They got it. They fucking got it done. Let's go. Meeting Canada for both? Yeah, in overtime for both. Just a really cool. Oh, delicious. Pretty tasty.

Sorry, I know we've got a lot of backers up around Canada way, and I think they're all like six, ten and above. Hey, silver shines just as bright, right? Sorry, not today or yesterday. Yeah. Yeah. One dude who sees a Sasquatch all the time. He's Canadian.

I'm so glad that it was against Canada. The whole four nations, like, whole storyline, too. It was just great. No, yeah, you watched the semifinal round, and that was a pretty close one. And it's like, man, be cool if Canada's. It did make it, but you kind of wanted Canada to make it. Of course. You kind of wanted this to be the matchup.

100%. It was a lot of fun. Yeah, I would hate to have to pick between my thins and my home country. Didn't come down to that, luckily. No, it was just, I don't know, it was a cool moment. And moving forward, like, that team, you know, sounds a few guys. Like, he's going to be young enough. The Corps is certainly going to be there for 2030 in France.

Is Jack Hughes the one dating Tate McCray? Yes. Really? Yeah. She's Canadian, right? Well, yes, she is, but has done a few things in the U.S. that Canadians aren't huge on her national pride. Oh, like dated the guy that just won't want a school game winning goal on them?

She did something like, I forget. She like son the national anthem for us at something or I don't know. There's like her Canadian citizenship is not in question, but her Canadian pride has been in question for a while. Oh, man. That's tough. The tweets that were like, oh, I'm Jack Hughes. I won the gold medal. I'm dating Tate McCray. Oh, like, fuck you, man. What's your favorite Tate McCray song? Tate McCray could also be a really bad red dirt or just like a Nashville country singer.

Absolutely. There's old Tate McCray. This is his new song. It's called Black Dad on the Farm. Or like a five-star quarterback out of West Texas. Yes. Yeah, we did, we just signed McCray, Tate McCray. His dad, his dad was a linebacker on the 79 team. Damn, I didn't know that. That's sick.

Yeah. Yeah, Tate McCray, dude. Class of 2031. Yeah, so sick. He's in seventh grade. He actually, his family moved here from Bentonville. Okay. Yeah, just so we could play.

Damn, they let him get away. Yeah. That's crazy. The interview after where Hughes is talking to somebody and like, it just sounds, It sounded like old school. I was telling them the guys I said it sounds like an interview from the 90s or 2000s where he just was like, oh, I'm just proud to be, you know, an American. This is, we're such a brotherhood.

It was it was no hockey speak whatsoever. Just pure excitement and just a dude who like fucking won the gold medal. It was cool. And he didn't say anything about himself. I don't know. The video kept going around like, oh, dude, like the dude who was like, I'm going to get fucked up tonight. And they're like, oh, yeah, they're going to get fucked up tonight.

I'm like, yeah, that's what they're going to do. We're not shocked. That's how they're going to say. A bunch of like 20-something hockey dudes who just won the gold medal. Yeah. They're going to get fucked up tonight. That's kind of the thing. They're going to go just pounce of beers of cash, man.

They're going to go pounce of beers with the Fed. Yeah, they're not going to go have like a nice quiet dinner. Dinner and go to bed by 9th area. This is not in the cars. They're not hitting Maggiano's. No. Maybe they are. In Italy?

Yeah, in Italy. The Milan. Magianos. If you haven't tried it. I did like how the U.S. team stayed in the Olympic Village the whole time they were there, and the Canadians put themselves up in like five-star Milan hotels. Oh, I didn't know that. And the U.S. team was just in like in dorm rooms.

Mixing it up. Yeah, mixing it up. Love that. That's how you form chemistry. I think that, I mean, they were a team. Like Canadians more talented by far. The U.S. had a better goal, and I think more of a team. But that's where we got the goal.

Do you see the young lady, the American, I don't know which event she was in, but she was interviewed before she even, let's say she was skaterly, before she even took the eyes, she got interviewed, she was like, I'm staying in the Olympic Village and I'm having the absolute time of my life. Like my journey here is already complete, and I haven't even competed yet in my event. I did see that. What have you been up to in the village? What are you suggesting? What does that mean?

Good for her. Maybe she found love, man. Maybe. What a great Olympics. It's been fun. The picture of obviously like the Getty image of Jack Hughes with the, you know, the broken tooth and the blood dripping down his lip and the flag around his shoulders. Like that's there, that's in a time where we haven't, you know, iconic sports photos. I feel like we haven't.

Yeah, that's a great one. Had many just in the age of cell phones. Like, you know, you kind of don't have the like the cover of Sports Illustrated moment anymore. That is truly an iconic sports picture. That, Alyssa Liu, getting gold, and also just the Italian women's curling team in general, like just some iconic images. It was cool to have, like, I don't think this is like a hot take or anything, but having the Olympics back in a ski town like that or towns in a time zone that you could kind of watch stuff live,

gave the Olympics so much more juice. Where to the next winter? France? France. Yeah. Let's go. Same thing. I can request my arm, yeah.

Same time zone, ish? I'd say ish, yeah. Hour here or there? Yeah. Don't quote me on that. The ceremonies in, I believe, Nice, France. Ah, yeah. And then Chimini and maybe Korsheval are kind of getting the...

It is how it's spelled right now you're just showing off a little bit. Brecht's name dropped in places of France. Oh, Mr. Geography. The French Alps, man. They're pretty cool. Wow. Can I step away for a pee? I'm about to go my little pants.

Yeah. Take the hall pass. Who's the new pee pee? man in town. Make sure that, yeah, don't want the hall monitor didn't even take the pass. Yeah, I...

All right, let's talk shit about Dylan this in the game. Yeah, it is. I'm not a big, like, you know, I watch hockey, rarely, but... You watch it for Jersey mics. Yeah, I do. Well, I don't... The people at home know about your jersey mics

gambling bit. I've talked about it multiple times. For being a very, not even casual, I could tell, like, the level of play there, it was just so fast. I'm like, I have never seen hockey. Smaller rink. They were saying it was like three feet.

Yeah. Like it doesn't seem like it was that. It just was so fast. Which is interesting because the Olympic hockey sheets are supposed to be much longer and especially much wider. This ring was smaller than an NHH. It would have been the smallest NHL ranked in the league. But yeah, Randy, you touched me yesterday.

You said, this is some fast hockey. Yeah, I did. And I was like, yeah, man. It's cool. Is it overkill if I buy, if I buy some hockey gloves, a stick and a net and a ball? and I'm just driveway guy. Don't even like put on skates and just them out there just ripping them.

No, that's not over. Get Rhodes into it. Because I really want to do that. All you need is a net and shoot, you just need a street hockey ball and a tennis ball and a couple sticks and you're good to go. It's going to happen.

A perfect driveway. Did you get Rhodes a knee hockey set ever? No, I haven't uncle bredded my way in. Usually four or five is right about the age. I saw a set. I was at play it against sports. I saw a knee hockey set. Really?

Mm-hmm. You did, you did like a Mylek plastic net for outside and... Oh, dude. I randomly had a Mylek goalie stick. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Growing up. Yeah, it was fun.

I was looking through old hockey photos yesterday. And it was a little bit of a different level I was playing. But... Than the Olympics? In the Olympics. Also, it wasn't playing on ice, but... Damn, dude, I wish I still have my old hockey gear. I wish I had my mission skates.

Yeah, those are sick. Such a fun time. Right. That's getting asked those skates. one of these days dude everyone in this office is clamoring for inline skates yeah there's an old guy who skates through my neighborhood

he blades just like no pads no helmet horrors quads they poppin yeah he's in good shape he wears like short shorts and he's just going he just loves it he doesn't even speak like he'll come by

we'll be outside riding bikes or something and he comes through and we're just like how you doing and he just smiles and nods he doesn't ever stop to talk one day I wanted to see him hit like a sick a T stop and just kind of spin around like, how's everybody doing? Hasn't happen yet, but it will.

How'd you earn that nickname? We've got to talk about this app draft we did a few weeks back. People are really, really digging it. Speaking on winning gold, your boy is just sitting here just draped in gold right now, man. You're not going to beat the bot allegations? Yeah, I'm pretty sure you bought a lot of these comments. people pointed out there might be some bodding

but is there a bodding? A lot of non-profile photos commenting on this too, Dylan. Oh yeah, what do you think I did? Maybe a backer, I did it for you because they're like, Dylan's had a lot of terrible takes like in the last few years. Let's just say one of them.

I'm seeing takes from friends of the program who also, Micah in particular, is like Dylan just absolutely yammed on these guys. I want to look into the camera before we get really cooking here. Because there was a lot of, the biggest, The biggest, there's a lot of people mad at the whole draft that chicken wings went like the third.

Second. Second. And which camera, Randy? That one over there. You want to address it? Listen. Chicken wings are great. I like chicken wings.

I think they're good. I'm a chicken wing guy. However, I'm not going to order chicken wings as an appetizer. To me, chicken wings, if I'm in the chicken wing mood, it's the whole damn meal. It's the whole thing. I'm not going to go eat two or three wings and then move on to something else. And I understand that a lot of people might say, but what if you're not at hooters or I don't know, wing stop pluckers, a wing place?

Then there's a good chance I'm not ordering wings. Now, if somebody I'm with at the table wants to order wings as an appetizer, yeah, I'll probably have a couple. But that is why I did not select wings because to me, it is not an appetizer. don't think you're wrong. That is, I agree exactly. Wings is often a full meal and it's a very good full meal. If you go to a place like a pluckers or a B-dubs.

Or a hooters. Or a hooters. I ordered 25 one time. It obviously gives full meal. It's like what they do. They do wings. If you go to a place that's not one of those and they have wings on the menu, you will find those wings most times in the appetizer section of that menu.

Easily shareable, right? wings. So it can be both. So I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm not judging somebody for ordering them as an app. I'm not. This is my draft. We're drafting our own teams here, right? I'm not drafting because I want people at home to glaze me. It's never what this is about. There's a guy on Twitter I'd like to address right now directly who wanted to, he wanted to add homonym attack me, wanted to call me names and be like, I cannot believe you chose chips and salsa right after Dylan chose chips and Casey. You could have gotten that later on. Why wouldn't you choose wings?

Well, for the reason I just mentioned. And also, this is my draft. I wanted chips and salsa at the second pick. I like chips and salsa. I'm the chips and salsa guy. If I didn't choose chips and salsa in this draft, do you know how many people at home would be calling me a fraud? There are other apps that fit into that same category you just laid out.

For sure. I'm going to throw nachos in there. Nchos oftentimes a full meal. I saw that comment a lot. And then I thought about it. like there was no way us three were going to pick nachos after our whole fucking nice nachos pussy there's no way we could have nobody wanted to be the one to order that if the draft had gone a couple more rounds i probably would have picked nachos at some point i love nachos uh southwest

egg rolls could also be a full meal i get yeah i've never ordered just southwestern egg rolls i have i have you're i get you're different i am different so i think you bring up valid points again i know But it also very much belongs in appetizer category. Sure. But again, I'm drafting my squad. This is who I'm going to battle with. Well, part of that, it's not clocking to some of these people.

Yeah, it's not. What did the guys say today? I got to look. It's starting to pick up the algo. It's very polarizing. A lot of people who are not happy that we didn't talk about onion rings, too. And look, a lot of people weren't happy about my picks. But you know what?

Hey, here's the thing. I was drafting mine. Onion rings could also fit into the side category. Yeah. Sorry. Some people straight up are like, none of these guys no ball. And I'm just like, it's funny. Food taste.

We covered like everybody. Like, what did we miss? Okay, we did miss one thing. A guy just commented, and crab dip is nowhere to be found. Yeah. Yeah, whole draft is cooked. I bet you that guy is from the East Coast. Baltimore.

Probably something like that. Maryland. Now, here's the thing. Here's the thing. We were ragging on chips and queso. I don't want people come at me that I don't like chips and queso. But I personally think that that it's risky. That's like drafting someone that got hurt in the championship game.

There's a lot of bad queso out there compared to all their stuff. When queso is great, it's one of the best things. But I think it's a risky play. Who's our guy, our linebacker from Notre Dame, Cowboy linebacker, Jalen Smith? Was it Jalen Smith? Yeah. who like blew his knee up, nerve damage, and we draft. We got, oh, fuck, he's steel.

Got him? He was okay for like a year. Anyway, are you saying he's the queso of the NFL? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I've had some bad queso, you know, maybe at a holiday party. Come on. Like, Tripoli has really bad queso. Like, I would not, like, if someone said, hey, you want some chips and queso from

Chivala? I'm like, no, it's really bad. So, I mean, I love chips and queso, but I wasn't going to take it. I'll be honest. I thought, I thought, the one thing that I was surprised about, in addition to so many people just ordering, eating like two, two chicken wings for an appetizer. But one thing that really surprised me, how many people don't rock with Mott sticks? Yeah.

Is it maybe, am I too like Sammy's brained? Sammy's an Italian restaurant here that has like the best mozzarella sticks? Or do other places not do like a lot of mozzarella sticks for an app? Am I crazy? Oh, I think a lot of place to do. Look, overall people were signing with Dylan. Oh, I'll, I'll know. No, Dylan, no.

The people. overwhelmingly. I'm not mad. I'm not mad. You're mad. No, I will say this. The guy who said who orders Kalamari is an appetizer. People were right now from that.

That's a weird one. Pretty much anybody who's gone to an Italian place and seen Kalamari, Calamari is always on the appetizer. It's an antipatizer everywhere you go. It has it. It's not a manned course. That's like getting a blooming onion, which somebody did say we should have had on there.

It was on my list. I'm never ordering a blooming onion. Nothing will make me feel worse than a bloomin' I'm, I, I, I'm, bloom and onion was on my list, but also restaurant specific, which we made a rule against. Well, Blumen Onion is outback, but like Texas Roadhouse has the cactus blossom, which is the same exact thing. What's the other version? Blumen Onion. There's a cactus blossom is what's called that Texas Roan House.

So like a fried onion in that manner is not restaurants. An onion ring is hard. Obviously a very similar thing. Basically just a fried onion. An onion ring, again, I'm going to say that's more of a side to me and not an appetizer. I mean, obviously you can get it as an appetizer. I would think of it as a side as well. It's like tater tots.

It's not an appetizer. You know. Notches are controversial, not only because if you order them, you're like a total pussy. Right. That's why we also it's like sharing nachos. Then you get into the. Yeah, you can't take all the ones. There's about 15% that are great.

And then the rest, you're just kind of like. Notios are not created equal, man. Some of them are just blank chips at the bottom. And some of them have all the shit on them, you know? Be like that sometimes. They're only like four or five really good nachos on a nacho plate. Look, I stand by. I probably shouldn't have gone with cheddar.

Bay Biscuits because I think bread isn't really an appetizer. That's just a free thing you get. You should just go on Facata. I think your fried pickles in the first round was a bit of a reach. And I love fried pickles, but it's just, it's not, to me, it's just not elite. I was surprised by that. A lot of people did not like it. Fried pickles to me is like, well of the best ass.

It's a bit's a pickle. My favorite thing when something of virus goes viral like that, and it's not even that viral, but it's making its way to people who, like, don't know anything about the show. They're like, wait, why are they cooking that one guy for like that, making good picks. I'm like, well, that's kind of how it is.

You must be really new here. Like, you're not gonna, look, you're not gonna get away. We're gonna cook somebody for something completely normal and rational. But I'm not mad,

dude. Y'all, the people online are mad. Not me at all. I'm totally over it. I was just surprised by the people like, no,

none of these guys, no ball. I'm like, really, what palette do you have that you didn't like a single thing we picked? I feel like we covered a lot. Yeah.

I feel like we really did cover a lot. Nobody said anything about lettuce wraps. We could have had lettuce wraps. Everybody knows what I can't eat lettuce wraps. Nah, that ain't, man. It's just so funny that, like, some people, like, it's just so opinion-based that some people would be like, that's trash. I'm like, oh, I'm definitely going with that one. It's like, I saw some people like, Randy all the way, not many, but it was like interesting.

People's tastes are also very regional. Yeah. Depends on where you grow up. Like crab dip. What's the next draft? I don't know. We were the most polarizing. We should do something like, we just stay.

food. We should do like a dessert. Have we done a dessert draft? You've done a dessert draft. Let's just keep, let's do stuff we've already done just in hopes that it goes viral and people get mad at us again. That's so good. Your boy won this. We could do a main course draft. There's a lot to choose for all. I know a lot. So it like people are going to, we're definitely going to miss stuff and people are going to get mad about it. We miss a ton of appetizers too. I mean, we'll have 12 picks total, right? It's algo friendly. Three of us. There are a lot of appetizers to pick from. Yeah. so good

Punch? No, you know what? Hey, do you want to save punch? Let's let's say punch. You want to talk fall? Let me talk fall. Because you were very shaken up about this. Dude, I really was, man.

So like I mentioned, I watched the movie Fall, which was, I believe at the time on Friday was like the number two. Netflix movies. So I was like, this looks interesting. And I watched the little like trailer that they have a little preview and I had gotten nervous just watching it. And I was like, I'm going to test, test, first of all, I'm extremely terrified of heights, like extremely. It, like, climbing, just climbing a ladder like to the roof for me is like terrifying. Like I'm extremely terrified of heights. Anyway, like I said, I popped a little gummy on Friday and I had the whole night to myself. I was like, I'm just going to watch this movie, see how it goes. You're insane for knowingly choosing a movie about Heights, wall-popping gum.

I wanted to, like, I don't know, like, challenge myself to, like, handle it, I guess. You should have taken a hero dose of mushrooms and ego killed yourself with this. You killed your, you killed the ego, but you killed your fear of heights as well. Like, I wanted to challenge myself to get through it. And it's about these two young ladies who climb the B-67 tower, which I'm finding out is a fictitious tower, but it's inspired by the very real KXTV K-O-V-R tower, which is in Walnut Grove, California. And this tower in the movie was 2,000 feet tall. So a little bit taller than the Freedom Tower in New York City to give you an idea of how

tall this tower is, which I believe that one is 1776, right? That sounds right. Anyway. Is you understand the significance of the year? That's just a terrible name for a building, the real one in California. Yeah, you're right. Anyway, so this tower, like the first 1,800 feet, there's a cage around the ladder, so it's somewhat safe. And these two young women are like clipped together, right?

So that's like their safety. Like if one person falls, the other person is hanging on, they can catch them. That's their only like safety measure that they take. Do they have any climbing prowess? Yes. The opening scene, they're rock climbing. They're free solo climbing with one of a. It's one of the women, their husband is with them and he falls to his death.

And this is like them climbing the towers for like getting over her fear, like she's been depressed. And this is like her like, I'm going to go conquer my fear. So that's why they climb this tower. Like I said, the first 1,800 feet, it's a cage around the ladder. But the last 200 feet, it's just a ladder up this pole. And at the very top is a platform that's barely bigger than this table. The circle platform, it goes up to like the needle. they get up there and they're fine and one of them like hangs off the side with one hand and it's like

I couldn't handle it I had to fast forward parts my palm my hands were sweaty and it just really triggered me in a lot of ways and when they're when they decide to descend oh by the way they they spread they spread the dude's ashes when they're at the top that's like one of the reasons they went up there okay and so when they decide to go back down it's a very very very important very old, it's like a decommissioned very old towers. It kind of rusted in parts. And so the ladder was not properly secured. And when they're starting the descent, it pops off and it falls. And so they have literally no way of getting down. And I know that a lot of this movie was filmed with like a green screen, but it's really, it's well done. You can't really tell.

And they have drone shots because they bring a drone up there to like record. And their drone shots of them like surrounding the tower. It looks extremely real. And dude, I'm telling you, It was the most nervous I've been watching a show or a movie my entire life. I couldn't really handle it. It's so intense. I don't want to spoil it and say exactly what happens, but it's sad. And holy shit. If you're afraid of heights, just don't watch it because it's not fun.

Or you could challenge yourself and take a gummy and then try to watch it. Did you feel like you got over a barrier by watching? No. No. I can't imagine how anyone can do this. I can't imagine how anyone is not afraid of heights at the degree that I am. Like that's, I don't, I can't comprehend doing something like this. It's nuts, man.

Nuts. Anyway, it's a fun movie if you're into that kind of shit. I, I'm assuming the 75% of the movie takes place on this platform. Yeah. It's just too much. Yeah. I don't. I mean, it's, it is a lot.

They spent like two nights up there. Like they're up there for, you know, like two and a half days, I think. And they have no way of contact. They have no self-service because they're too high up. Oh. So they can't get a hold of anybody. So then they take the drone. They have to fly a drone with a note attached to it to like the motel they're staying at.

But it doesn't quite make it there. And it's a whole thing. Message on a drone. Yeah. I think Chels wants to watch it. I'm not to watch it again. What you stop? What are you doing?

I told her about it. She's like, oh, I want to watch it. At least you know what's going to happen, though. Maybe that's, right. Maybe that'll help you that you know what's got possible. It's so intense, man. Did like, don't spoil it, but does, like, is there like a giant eagle, like mythical, like mythical, mythical bird that flies by and they jump on it?

There are, I don't know if they're buzzards or what's the other one that feeds on dead flesh? Vulture. It's one of those. So one of the, one of the, one of the, women gets a big cut on her leg when she's because when the ladder crashes down she gets cut on her leg and so it

starts to get infected and it smells real bad and so the buzzards are like trying to pick at her they keep like buzzing her tower and shit and it's it's fucking nuts man Dave I appreciate it Lord of the Rings reference I missed it completely that's okay well there's Dylan's movie review

don't watch it I would not fuck that sounds not fun at all dude it's fucking knots. I watch Lee Lawn Stitch. Okay. Do watch it. It's good.

That's sick. I might just have you spoil the movie after the show. Okay. I will. All right. Well, tomorrow we're going to talk, uh, punch the monkey. Hell yeah. It's a proper noun.

It's a name. We're not talking about what Dylan did all weekend. No, it's fun, though. We're having fun. All right. Bye. Bye. I don't know.
