activity and um you guys are doing a shit what go ahead that's making a joke that i get ghosted very did you go oh you get ghosted You're always bragging about ghosting people. Let's unpack this a bit. Why are people ghosting you? What's going on? So spooky at Wash Media. We're looking for worst ofs. Oh, no, it really happens.

We're looking at worst ofs. Oh, it happens all the time. Of course it does. When you get ghosted, is it around the same time you pull out the origami and shit like that? No, that's when I have them on the hook. Oh, that's how you lure them in.

Got it. And then they really get to know you as like, oh, fuck this guy. Hey, just if you start getting ghosted, like if you feel it happening, send them a random spooky season clip. Hey, we're a non-ghosting. Unless it's a story about an actual ghost, we're a non-ghosting podcast. We do not appreciate that around here. No. If you're a ghoster, get your shit together.

Even if you're a breadcrumber. End it the right way. Breadcrumbing is, it might even be worse than ghosting. Oh isn't it the right way bread crumbing is is it might even be worse than ghost what's oh it's kind of like it's like letting it fizzle it's like you don't you don't really like someone enough to like keep them you know around but you're like i don't want to let them go so i'm gonna every now and then i'm gonna throw my text just check in and like keep them on the hook a little bit that one is that one is way worse i think than actually yeah ghost you're toying with emotions more that ghosted it's like you're like well that person just didn't want to like face the reality that person's a jerk

yeah but to breadcrumb like it's it's manipulative right yeah it's more evil these kids these days man they're young dumb and full of crumb breadcrumbs because that's what they do that's good a lot of times they will do that that was was a good one. Hey, also your worst, if you have a worst weekend Halloween story, spooky at washmedia.com, we're doing that now too. Randy, I'm sorry, man. Did someone break your heart? We need to delete that?

I didn't know we were serious. This is a random joke that Brett made. Are you heartbroken? No, he's not heartbroken. Right? No. Is that why I walked by your desk and you were just blaring Simple Plan in headphones?

Are you dating? My chemical romance? I'm just a kid, yeah. I was tearing up. I put my eye black on. Are you dating a little baddie right now? No. Like five little baddies.

Randy knows what's going on. There's a lot of double booking maybe happening. There perhaps is some double booking. Who stepped on james throw a competing party someone decided to have a uh 40th birthday no no no it's the one day after it yeah that saturday has been booked by something that's not the merriman spooky monster bash and so we're just gonna have to wait hey figure something out it's not Satan's super sweet 16? It is. Oh, no.

Just like they used to tell us during house cleanup on a Saturday when we were pledges. Find a way. Hey, figure it out. Find a way. I'm going to go to class when I come back. I better have this drywall. Sir, I don't think I can dig up this 100-year-old oak tree in the front yard

because it's very big. You don't need to figure it out, dude. I don't even have a shovel, sir., a hundred-year-old oak tree in the front yard because it's very big and the roots go very far down. You don't need to figure it out, dude. I don't even have a shovel, sir. Like, find a way. Find a way. And then you'd be, like, punished if you did not.

Yeah. Yeah. Give you an impossible task to do. Mm-hmm. And then... Hey, that load-bearing wall in there, you don't need to figure it out.

Get rid of it. But don't let the house collapse. So... Didn't your house famously collapse it was torn down oh it was going it was a collapse hazard so tearing it down was probably the safest thing to do how that thing continued to pass fire code or whatever code in general any code i'd always maintain that if you broke it if you got in a three-point stance and fired off into a shoulder into the side of that house it would just bring the whole thing down really yeah yeah i'm surprised nobody ever actually tried that me too or else a lot of people

would have gotten hurt yeah have you ever seen the videos of like people on a patio or a deck like a raised surface that are partying and it just collapses and it's like yeah happened yeah club aqua we used to post videos like you already were racing the whole deck collapsed somebody lost their head yeah kim kardashian was there oh no whole thing there was a tragedy in the club community moment of silence oh like that would be announced like music cut off that would be announced at the other yeah like people have you gotta still that's a busy night to like shut down in the middle of you built that house yeah i built it it's so stupid oh man what else we're going with that we got we got i don't know man it's been fun

so far i'd like to recap this weekend and fun and i'd like to do so with our good friends at duncan oh yeah hey um maybe it's still a little warm where you are but here it's officially fall and you know what? This morning feels like fall. It's so good. A noticeable crisp is in the air, David. I knew it was fall because Duncan says it's fall. Yeah.

Okay. And because it's fall, Duncan's serving up the legend, the icon, the pumpkin spice signature latte. You guys had one yet? Be honest. I have.

Yeah, I bet you have. Good. I actually have too. I've had hot and cold. Ooh. Oh shit. I've? I have. Yeah, I bet you have. Good. I actually have two. I've had hot and cold. Ooh. Oh, shit. I've only done cold. Well, I'd go hot for a crispy morning light this morning.

Big player in the rough household. Nutty Pumpkin Coffee? Haven't gotten to that one. Big player in the rough household. Nutty Pumpkin Coffee sounds fantastic. It does.

So it was mostly because the elevator was broken. Ooh, yeah. What was the biggest piece of furniture you had to haul up the stairs? I did a dresser. I did a TV. We had movers for – Not 48 hours. No, no.

No, the hunks were available. They had a party to go to. They got the bed and stuff, but there was a lot of moving. The hunks had homecoming. My back is in a bad shape. Was it just you and the lady friend? Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. Well, the movers did, like, they did the main, like, big rugs or uh big that's tough that kind of stuff but yeah the most of the miscellaneous you know the boxes and whatnot uh did a lot of that did a lot of that so i'm not i don't feel great today i'm a little achy yeah a little sore yep yep i was lifting uh with my lower back i'm going today 4 30 You got to confuse those muscles, Dave. I had no clue. Yeah. So I did that a lot.

Well, I'm sorry to hear. Did you have any fun meals or anything? A couple good meals. A couple good meals. Went to Pluckers to watch the Ole Miss game. Okay. Pluckers gets a bad rep, I think. Not from me.

Not from me, it doesn't. Oh, good. Because it's awesome. I like Pluckers gets a bad rep, I think. Not from me. Not from me, it doesn't. Oh, good, because it's awesome. I like Pluckers. The O-Till Pluckers, most TVs per capita in Austin, Texas. Seriously, it's the only sports bar that comes close besides Lavaca, shouts to Lavaca, that gives you anywhere near what you're looking for on a college football site. Are you on their payroll?

What's going on here? Mark Pluckerberg over here. Wow. No, they have good wings, too. I'm not going to call them great wings. I'm not going to call them the best wings, but they're good wings. They're fine. Yeah.

They're fine. So we did that. Rebs got the dub, which was fun. And, yeah, watch the Bills get kind of embarrassed yesterday morning. Oh, fair. You know,

with Jacksonville staying the entire week to play two back-to-back games in London, Buffalo flying there, that's just an unfair advantage. Yeah, and the fact

that they got to stay there and eat all that really good English food. Like bangers and mash. And what else? Shepherd's pie. Yep. all that really good uh english food like bangers and mash and what else shepherd's pie yep all that really good english food chips biscuits and gravy beans and toast that was not a british accent yeah what was that why does their food stink though because it's all no i've never i've never actually been there they're in their beige era i haven't either but people dunk on it all the time well you know this country runs on duncan so it's all beige. I've never actually been there. They're in their beige era. I haven't either, but people dunk on it all the time.

Well, you know, this country runs on dunking. That's true. Tim? No, different. Yeah, that's my weekend though. Okay, thanks for sharing. I wanted to get out and golf, but I was moving or helping Rachel move, so I didn't.

I wanted to maybe get out and enjoy the college football games. I was able to do that from a patio. So, yeah, that was a good weekend. Okay. Let me do mine. We'll close with Mr. Rock and Roll Guy here. Yeah, you have a little music man. Piece of memorabilia, huh?

Oh, this old thing? Yeah. Yeah, closest to the pen. Damn. 16. Out of how many people? 24. Oh, okay. thing? Yeah. Yeah, closest to the pin. Damn. 16. Out of how many people? 24. Oh, okay.

Okay. Okay. Yeah. Let's see. About 170. Not a short guy. Swirling wind and went six iron and drop kicked it, chunked it. I fatted it. I didn't chunk it it. I fatted it.

I didn't chunk it, but I did fat it. And had I hit it flush, it would have been about 25 yards over the green. Wrong club. But it somehow ended up about seven feet. It was a tough pin that day. Seven feet doesn't sound close, but it was close. No, that'll get the job done. So, yeah, that was pretty much my only highlight from the actual golf.

But, yeah, I was in Frankston, Texas, just south of Tyler. You weren't striping it? You know, out around Buffalo away. New York? Buffalo, Texas. I didn't know there was a Buffalo, Texas. Oh yeah, Texas.

How about that? Yeah, there's not a lot around there, huh? No, not at all. Lake Palestine in the area? Palestine. Palestine home. That's how we say it in Texas. Home of Adrian Peterson.

Yeah. Oh, yeah? That's true. That's facts. We just stayed on site, played golf, played golf. Went up to my parents' place in Duncanville, stayed the night Thursday night, and then made the drive over in the morning. I had a great warm-up session.

Chip putted. And then went on a course and just absolutely just wasn't good. Didn't play well at all. Need to record my score on my handicap app. Should help me out bumping it up. But yeah, it was fun. We had a great time. Two-man scramble Saturday.

Four-man scramble Sunday. Ate fajitas. Ate hamburgers. Just good fun. Was in bed at like 10.30 every night. Oh, really? I was going to ask, did anything get crazy? And what were the sleeping arrangements?

Was it hotels? Are you staying at home? No, you're staying on the course, basically. On site. Not on the 18th green or something. Right. But camping. Did some night golf chipping. Went out to the 18th green with glow-in-the-dark balls. Did a little game there. That was fun. But I'm the guy who

takes, I'll pop an early bird at like 9.30 and I'll ride that out as long as I can, but I'm back in bed by 10.30. There's a number of people who stay up late gambling. There's a game they play called Between the Sheets. I don't know if you've ever played it. I never play it because it's just too rowdy. They have a lot of fun, but they also have a lot of rowdiness. Right. And it's one of those things. It's much like when you walk up to a craps table and everybody's lit, and you're like, man, I can't learn this game right now.

So I just choose not to play. I went to bed thinking, man, if I get a good night's sleep, get out the course tomorrow, hit it better. Turn it around. Didn't. Nope. Didn't putt it extremely well, but that's about it. Good for you, Davey.

You got to wear pants too, you said, right? I played golf in pants two days. Wow, huge. Quarter zip both days to start off. Peeled it by a whole three or four. Just great. No, I mean, I had a shirt on. I wasn't bare chested.

That's too bad. You couldn't see my bare butt out there. What was the on-course beverage of choice for you this weekend? Water. Fucking nerd. I'm trying to think like who currently, whose bag do we currently have? We free agents? Yeah.

No, I did bring a significant number of High Noon and Miller High Lives. Okay. High Lives. High Lives. High Life. life is a proper noun um was drinking those on the course and then uh mixed a couple transfusions in yeah good and you know started every morning with the saps oh very cool very cool did you actually uh no i meant to load some up but i didn't i didn't want to take a whole pallet and y'all be like hey where'd all that saps go because we delete those at a rapid clip yeah thanks for not taking the whole pallet away from the office you're calling you zillion saps

over there and then yesterday man got back in about i don't know 6 15 or so and uh right time to turn on that boys game. They stink, baby. They are never going to beat that team. They're not. That's the best team in the league, to be fair. That's the best team in the league, and they are not in the same ballpark. More than that on too much dip.

If you like that kind of analysis, you should check out our sports pod. Sadly, Brett won't be on today, but you know he'd like to be. Yeah, I'm sorry about the boys. No, you're not. I just, well, the Bills lost too. 0-2 Fantasy Week, the Bills lost. Yeah, but y'all have like the asterisk, the, okay, we had a flight to London,

y'all been here eating tea and crumpets. Yeah, I'm not super worried about that loss, but I mean, New York to London, it's not that bad. It's Buffalo to London. What state is Buffalo in? New York. Western New York to London, it's not that bad. It's Buffalo to London. What state is Buffalo in? New York. Western New York, shout. Right.

Hey, let's just give it up for Dylan Chivary. Where can we find you on social? Yeah, find me at DChivary4Eve. I can't talk over that kid. Sorry, he's very, very rambunctious. Anyway, yeah, I had quite a weekend. So it was ACL weekend weekend one and i've touched on this a little bit but i now live directly adjacent to zilker park which is where acl is

they're calling you the zilker parks addy austin city limits music festival that's right and so it was kind of an all-time vibey weekend. We talked about the weather. It was really nice. I had windows open all weekend, letting not only the cool air through, but the music from the fest. Just the vibes were seeping in? The vibes were immaculate. Any of that marijuana smoke seep in? Well, I took Parks last night to ACL, and a lot of sticky weed getting smoked. People were smoking pot. I was like smoking pot i was like hey you smell that he goes yeah what is it i said that's weed man whoa it's marijuana he goes oh okay

and then the rest of the time he was like there's so much smoke in my in my my lungs he's like i gotta he's like coughing and stuff you're not gonna get high parks yeah yeah contact he gets really uh aware of that kind of stuff. Anyway, Friday didn't do much. Stayed in. Parks and I just chilled at the crib and had some pizza. Where from? We went Jets again.

We went Jets again. And then we went on our roof. We have a rooftop at our place. Oh, yeah. Which is really cool for the festival because it's all going on right there and there was a drone light show that we got to see which was badass on friday saturday he had a soccer game they kicked ass they won like eight to six a lot of goals unfortunately it was during the texas ou game so i had to watch it on delay

and i was i successfully avoided all spoilers before the game started. In hindsight, I don't really care anymore because fuck that game. Really upsetting. Yeah. More on that. Too much dip later on today. They let one get away. Really, that was a crushing loss.

Did you kind of feel it when the too much dip group touched when pretty silent? I had a feeling. Yeah i i had a feeling yeah i had a feeling plus i i was at the soccer game there were there were people watching the game on their phones and they had like longhorn stuff on and i tried i try not to pay attention to them reacting to anything but they were very just kind of stoic like just watching so you knew it was close not celebrating i had a feeling it was not going great for my longhorns and yeah we were following it uh on the course we couldn't we couldn't get it like pull it up on a we didn't have the service for youtube tv or something yeah the game cast on that last drive just kept seeing like we're just like every time we reset it was like chunk

play yeah play i was like what what's happening yeah it was pretty yeah pretty disappointing well at least you got to uh you know see your boys go out to san fran last night and yeah that at least that team's cooked i think you did not have the two worst coaching like game management scenarios of the weekend. That Miami game? Miami and A&M. I didn't even see the A&M one. I don't know how. Jimbo punted on fourth and one.

He, like in plus territory. This is all TMD stuff, but Jimbo also had 45 seconds left on the clock in the first half with timeouts and just took a knee. We don't need those points against Bama.

We're up seven. We're good. Yeah, Sunday, another beautiful day. We went to Parks Road's bike on the trail. I ran next to him. That was a lot of fun. He really enjoyed that. And then went to ACL and saw Hosier.

Hosier? I think it's Hosier. Niall Hor haran i might be mispronouncing all this and then uh odeza oh kids like that yeah light show you hear uh alanis that was uh saturday we didn't go saturday could you hear anything from your place i could yeah we could hear all of it but it wasn't like super clear you can make out you know lyrics and all that but it was very loud it was close to the cool environment my place was just surrounded by festival goers what night was shania saturday could you hear any shania let's go girls uh no because shania was on the the honda, which is the farthest from my place.

Competing with Shania was the Foo Fighters, who I could hear. Who was that? The Foo Fighters. Right. Were you like, we're going to make some money off these fucking kids. Park like a lemonade stand or like $8 beers.

It's funny you say that. He's setting up next weekend, his weekend two. Yeah. He's doing a lemonade stand next week. He might make like a grand. Well, he's donating all the proceeds. Oh, okay. Good for him.

To an animal. Okay. Parks is a better man than I am. An animal adoption agency. That's cool. He needs to kick a little bit of that up to Vincent, to Vinny. Right. But that's what we're doing.

He runs Zilker. You know that's his turf. Yeah, it's true. You can't just put a lemonade stand there. Okay. He's going to make bank though. Yeah. You better get a picture. Oh, of course. you know that's his turf yeah it's true you can't just put lemonade stand there okay he's gonna make bank though yeah you better get a picture oh of course yeah so that's the situation man that's the weekend okay yeah highs and lows the lows were uh football related so i can't really complain too

much fantastic yeah you didn't have to go up like flights of stairs at 150 times i didn't thankfully just me guys can we give a big shout out to our good friends at alfa romeo oh we had the luxury of uh pushing around the tonale last week i had a ton of fun i had so much fun driving dave can't say tonale without without putting a lot of flavor behind it. Well, you know, Tonale. He is a member of the Ragazzi. Look, it's all new. It's loaded with tech. That's what blew my mind. You open that thing up,

the technology's there. I'm going to need the manual for that thing. There's so much tech that I'm just... It's over my head a bit. The touchscreen is large. You get the automatic emergency braking. You get the vented seats. That's my favorite feature. That was a game changer. It was hot last week.

You can pop in the AC and the seats. It's the Italian craftsmanship, David. Yeah, the interior and the exterior. The design, it's so sick. It's fun to drive, too. Can we talk about going out to the race? Yeah. Is that something we can touch on or not?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are you going to wear? They're bringing us out to the F1 race. have a team alfa romeo does um yeah and i'm i'm currently um on standby i might have to fill in and drive to be clear i know there's probably a lot of confusion on this the tonali is not the car used in the f1 race right i don't know how it would fare and right but you gotta think it would hold up well maybe Maybe it might finish not last, but they're not using that. I kicked it into sport mode a couple times. Oh, my gosh.

Does it go? Yeah. How is paddle shifting? It's a plug-in hybrid. It's a plug-in hybrid, man. You've got the freedom to choose between gas or electric. 32 miles all electric, 360 miles total range. It's fantastic.

Learn more about the Alfa Romeo Tonale at alfaromeousa.com. That's alfaromeousa.com. Oh, goodness gracious. I'd like to settle this. Is there some BTS controversy going on? Not controversy, but it's a question that I have that I think every weekend, hundreds if not thousands of our listeners encounter this. Typically, when you're playing golf, you have two carts, two people per cart.

That's your classic foursome. Standard. These days, most people have acquired generational wealth through a bluetooth speaker a bts for short okay a lot of times you get two different vibes with the with the two different carts for example yesterday my cart steely dan radio not my speaker my buddy's speaker but he had the aux i was perfectly fine with it was a great sunday got to drive home not going too hard thing the other cart had on like southern rap classics

so i'm cool with that too however gets me in the other cart no offense you pull up you pull up to the uh the t-box or you. You got two competing sounds. Okay. And nobody wants to yield. So I'm just wondering what can be done there? Do we need to sync these up? Dave, I was going to say, are you familiar with the – you might be a little old. No offense.

But you can sync your playlist now on uh spotify is the streaming platform of choice for myself you can i didn't know that you can hop in a group a group uh listening party that's sick i didn't know that was a thing yeah spotify man you can do that via spotify you you sure can yeah so you you can have multiple Bluetooth speakers, and you can be bumping the same exact thing at the same time. I don't know if that would have even worked, because the other car, my buddies, they were pretty dead set on like, you know, we're doing this, we're turning up a little bit. They kind of mashed the button, sicko mode button.

We were just like, we're over here doing your dirty work. A little chill vibe going. Let's assume for a second that the sync option is not available because it to me until you know one minute ago i didn't know that it was sure in my opinion there should be someone running lead like a lead speaker volume up so if you are together it it overwhelms the other one so it's like that's what you're listening to as a group when you separate it's fair game yeah you know what i mean that's what's been happening to me because i've been using the um the bag one the bag jbl that our good friends at duncan gave me you stay in your bag dude you know me and uh you know most people they like to still bring the full i don't like to i'm not i don't need to like

be flashy i don't need to like show off my generational wealth like to the course i just like something that clips onto my bag it's easy i don't have to worry about forgetting it but it does get overwhelmed by most other speakers i will say yeah yeah it's it's a small it's on the smaller side sync option is it's tight it's cool sometimes it gets off by like a second though you got to be careful and that's almost more distracting than two entirely different competing songs you would have a real problem with that as someone who doesn't like hearing their voice in the speaker when they record yeah i feel like that's just something that throws you off it does i feel like i'll battle through but like it know that in my brain every time i talk i'm thinking about if i've

ever got you uh if i have to ever have to interrogate you for something, I'm going to use some sort of audio medium to rattle you, to give up the intel. But you'd get me in like 20 minutes? Yeah. I would toss you a mic. I would turn the speaker up. I would turn it up on the Rodecaster here

and just see how – I'd say, hey, read me this book. Here's War and Peace. You're going to read it. You did whatever you want out of me, dude. Okay. Okay. That's all. Good choice, though.

Steely Dan Radio for a golf day. Sunday especially. For Sunday. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Saturday was different vibes. Okay. I'm on my Southern rap-ish.

That's fine. Like, I'm not – I love that that but it's just a little bit chaotic when you're tearing you're uh you're teeing off and you're hearing um jackson brown and then like make like you got ugk on the other one and it's just like the confluence like and in my head the way i my my stupid brain works i'm like oh could this be a mashup could this be a mashup and i'm like no it couldn't i guess i'll tee off and spray it way right lose one of my nine balls are you familiar with um the rap group glow rilla yeah i wasn't until last night they played at acl and we were right next to the stage when uh some aggressive lyrics for some of those songs i I had earmuffs for a little bit of it.

Like such as? I don't know the names of the songs, but there's some. Yeah, there they are. There's Glorilla. Oh, is it one lady? I don't know. At one point, she was like, everyone put your middle fingers up in the air.

Hell yeah. Did you? No, because I was making my way through the crowd with my eight-year-old son. Making my way through the crowd. And then it just kept getting more and more aggressive with the gesturing and the lyrics all right in addition to that middle finger i want you to put the other middle finger yeah it was uh all right now everybody drop your pants i also have to say that they weren't bad they were just aggressive lyrically aggressive but who do parks want to see the most he didn't

really have uh much of an opinion what does he does he listen to music yeah but it's like it's it's stuff that you can't just uh it's like kid shit mostly still is he listening to kids bop apparently side piece is a group that he likes according to his mom which they played last night but we missed that set okay he doesn't have one he just listens to him okay i was gonna say yeah your son for him to have a side piece that means he would have to have a main piece and i don't think he has either yeah unless he's just keeping a secret from me but yeah i got you don't believe he is brad did you see side piece last night no i'm just reading glorilla lyrics they are uh like dylan mentioned aggressive yeah no there we go. Yeah, that sounds right. My ex fucking on my old friend.

Both they asked some fucking clowns. Hell yeah. Did you see Sleep at the Wheel? No. No. Are they like the opening Friday set every year? Like the first band to play at a sale every year. Every single time.

What do all the people do that play both weekends this week? Are they just getting barbecue? I think a lot of them will play shows in shows in dallas or houston or oh that makes sense okay yeah nile haran what very or you can fly the tech is there you know nile haran is uh no 1d guy no he was good uh but he kept he was he was on stage and he kept talking about how hot it was in austin and everyone in the crowd is like, bro. Dude, just wait. Bro. You should have been here two weeks ago.

But yeah, he was good. Okay. I saw – speaking of Niles, I saw the Frazier reboot. It's getting terrible reviews. Oh, no. Don't tell Will. Well, Will said he wasn't excited for it. It's very – from what I've read, I've read one review, it's very punny.

Yeah. It seems like, I mean, you know. But the review was punny or the show was punny? No, no, no, the show. And, you know, if you watch the original, you know, like it kind of fancied itself to be kind of a smarter sitcom, you know, a little smart humor. Apparently, it's gotten away from that. It's too bad. Yeah.

Sad. Yeah. i really thought will was going to name his child something to do with frazier to be honest with you niles was was my my dark horse i would be shocked if they didn't kick around niles like i feel like niles was at least discussed definitely like an ask and shot down perhaps by sally i don't know what was the dog eddie i didn't watch a whole lot of fraser my day div okay yeah he was he was at least a bambino at the time and you guys have already uh talked about how old don and i are today so i guess i just i just wanted to alert you to a new feature i'm officially we're familiar with spotify i'm officially two weeks from today huh from what uh turning 40 two weeks exactly so that puts dave nine months next year nine months really it's like a year basically that's my that's my day of math

july yeah so like almost a year it's a year isish if you round, do it to a scale. Are we still going to like, I don't know, insert dope location here? People can probably guess where we're going. We're going to Mattel Rancho. Yeah. Okay. Fish talk. Come through.

Really?

You know, Will Ferrell, noted USC alum, right? Oh, we got music, too. Was he in a fraternity? I think he was actually a Teague. I think he was a Teague. As somebody who doesn't speak Greek, what were those letters? Sigma Alpha Mu. He was a Delta, tall Delta. He wasn't a teak? What are those letters? Sigma Alpha Mu.

He was a delta, tall delta. He's one of my brothers for life. Really? AKA the Sammies. Him and McConaughey. I believe it's a Jewish fraternity. I didn't know Will Ferrell was Jewish. Yeah, he's not.

No? This is not, he's not a member of said fraternity. Got it. I might've been reading some misinformation, but I did see that it was his son's fraternity you say he was really adult yeah he was adult which you know why isn't he djing adults you know maybe they're uh bottom tier he didn't want to show up i don't know if you can have an alumni like will ferrell and ever be bottom tier unless they went on a pro yeah you

can't i got it yeah definitely can you got you got m You got McConaughey, too, right? I got McConaughey. And Drew Carey. Those are, like, top three. Really? In that order? Frat. John Elway, I think, maybe, too? Elway?

I think so. John Elway? Thanks, Randy. At BYU? I don't know. Maybe it's John. No, wait. He's not BYU.

He's Stanford. I see. I'm really hoping. Maybe it's John. No, wait. He's not BYU. He's Stanford. I see. I'm really hoping. I was thinking of Steve Young. I'm really hoping it's somebody just completely not on John Elway's level. But I just want to know, is Will Ferrell. John Elway. It is John Elway.

How about that? John Elway is a brother. Your brother's alive with Elway. Know your brother info, dude. I'm not a talent. You guys have joined the fraternity of my bosses. Portnoy, Elway, you guys. Pretty good company.

What? In my employment history. Oh. The fraternity of my superiors. You're saying we're brothers for life with Elway and Portnoy? Yep. Kind of. That has to be, you have to promise if you ever see him out,

you have to address Portnoy as a brother for life. It's true. I don't think I'm going to do that. Oh, Jim Plunkett too. Does Will Ferrell still carry the weight for the college kid? This would have been a really, really big deal when we were there. Bigger for us, but I think he's still a major major name because kids that age for us we were still riding high we we had the snl stuff rolled right into um because these guys have all these

guys have all seen old school and then elf see i'd like to forget about elf famously terrible um yeah i'm wondering i'm just wondering is the how many 22 year olds terrible it's not terrible but i thought it was very bad it's not it's not top tier-year-olds. It's not terrible. It's not terrible. I thought it was very bad. It's not top tier. Brett, it's a good movie. It's not top tier. I think Step Brothers is more this generation's thing and my generation. Step Brothers is more the old school.

Yeah, these guys know Step Brothers and they know old school for sure. Yeah, he's still a big draw. Okay. What's his last banger? That's what I'm wondering. I could have looked it up, but I didn't. Get Hard? Is that one?

Is it the other guys? How old is the other guys? That's very old. Is he in 21 Jump Street? Anchorman, that's 20, well. All right, I need to put some respect on his name a little bit. I just wasn't sure. I feel like I don't see a lot of Will Ferrell anymore.

I know he did the Manning cast last week, a couple weeks ago. He's popping up a lot, which makes me wonder, is there something in the works here? I saw this and thought it was like an activation for like Old School 2 or something. He's not really twisting those knobs, is he? Old School 2 in the... There's no way, right? You can't do Old School 2. Luke he's not really twisting those knobs old school too in the uh there's no way right you can't do old school too luke wilson's not doing that why not he was in

barbie will ferrell yeah but that's like cameo stuff right yeah i think he was a big part of it i think he was the the protest not the antagonist in the movie really Really? Okay. Mugatu? Mugatu. His first name is John. Yeah, it's a stage name. John William Farrell. Yeah, it was his middle name. Okay.

I don't really have much else on Will Ferrell. It's got to help their next pledge class, though. Do you think that's like a... That's a good rush tool. Do you think that makes it into the PowerPoint? You think they paid for him? actually had power we would powerpoint slide i thought you did powerpoints for like like bid no bid well we did well yeah okay we did but also during rushed you had a presentation for the rushes it would come through the powerpoint it's like look here's why we're sick look how hard we rage and it was like it was just really stupid here's uh yeah

as acdc's hell's bells is playing in the background it was two just generic white guys sitting on the back of like an f-250 dude he's yeah like our fraternity is a movie and here's a guy drinking like a bud light and a sand volleyball pit yeah oh my god dude so many chicks that was on like a Wednesday, too. It's so sick. Dude, here's a picture from our flag football philanthropy. Yeah, we went one and six, but we had fun. Dude, like we raged after every loss.

Win or lose. Win or lose, we still booze. Dude, that PowerPoint. Oh, my God. Who was the keeper of the powerpoint like who edited it rust chair where it was designated rust chair that year yeah yeah kind of a sick name besides not a rush chair sure anyway shouts to will ferrell anyway i hope he's hope he's doing for our stuff soon that is it's kind of like it's tough to be 2000s comedy funny these days uh the uh the cancel culture

saying it couldn't be made yeah yeah i am old school was i'm trying to think there's there if you go back and watch those there's a lot of there's there's like hard art not like uh i'm trying to oh gosh you know what i'm saying i showed parks tommy boy the other yeah they dropped two hard r's in that movie did he ever watch black sheep and i had to explain to him like you can't say that we're at not black and watch black sheep yeah okay actually he did i thought he watched that with his he did with his mom yeah it's facts i got in a lot of trouble on twitter for suggesting that Black Sheep might be as good as Tommy Boy a while back.

A lot of people didn't like that. Mainly one guy. It's not a great take. Give it another watch. Black Sheep's good. Did you know that Will Ferrell is an executive producer of Succession? Yes, I did. Him and...

Isn't Adam McKay part of that too? I don't know. That's kind of... him and they've been tied at the hip forever i mckay might not be i don't know but i know will ferrell is very much in every uh credits for her succession i was looking up strays is one where he voices a dog that looked actually kind of funny it's like all like kind of secret life of pets are like real dogs and it's like a rated r comedy looked funny okay a rated r live action dog dog comedy yeah it came out this year okay um i had a lot of fun jumping into the uh boy math thing last week i still don't really understand it. Randy, you might have better insight on it,

but this one made me think of you, Brett. Sure. Boymath is buying a Bored Ape, then asking their date to split a $50 check. A Bored Ape, of course, I believe is an NFT. Yeah, I think they've lost 99.9% of their market value. That's not good. Much like my Serge Ibaka NFT.

Although he did pop off in that game wherever in Lithuania for like 8 and 5. Yeah. That's huge. Did you notice an uptick in the value of your NFT? I haven't checked the value, Dylan. It's a passive investment at this point. Maybe one day it'll just explode. As in I'm going to pass on

ever looking at the investment again. Okay. Yeah, if NFTs come back, I'm... day it'll just explode as in i'm gonna pass on ever looking at the investment again okay yeah if nfts come back i'm i'm uniquely positioned dave well explain the boy math thing to me dave boy math um it's basically girl math was a thing and then i think some of you're gonna be shocked to learn some people on twitter started using it in like a not as funny way. And then so a lot of the ladies started using boy math and it was mainly just kind of shitting on guys for how they behave in like relationships and like their views and stuff. But then it got pretty hilarious. But I really enjoyed like the ultimate one is like rounding up to like six foot when

you're five, 10 or if you're me five, nine and a half ish, I round up to five, 10. That's your boy math. I see one that says boy math is opening up your marriage so you can fuck around and getting mad because your wife is getting slammed while you severely overestimated your market value. Okay. That one seems that one's a who posted that just some someone collected some tweets okay the boy math is the fact that all of us dudes think we could land a plane that's true that's true i could that's a really really good one is boy math like seeing a field

uh that you drive by you're like i could probably probably go yard left and left center but not not center you just ease her down with the joystick and you hit the flaps that's all you gotta do hit the flaps i just like slows down right boy math is just trickle down economics i like that that's a little that's very much for all the reagan heads i might be i might be in on boy math now yeah um someone could probably someone could probably do a highlight reel of this show over the last five or six years just straight up boy mathing hard damn boy math is just girls dissing guys like promising you we're just getting smoked we are getting smoked in it girl girl math is like oh it's like we shower on thursday so we can do our

hair and it lined up for going out saturday night like that's girl math boy math is like hey you're an asshole yeah this is it's just yeah excuses just drag guys over the coals right not to call anybody out who might have been playing with me and my scramble group but uh boy math on the golf course might be like um yeah i know the the teaser pushed back about 10 yards from yesterday and we're hitting into the wind today, but yeah, you're, you're two 40 carry off the tee will definitely carry that water there. Good stuff, man. Not talking about anybody specifically thinking they've got that.

They don't. That didn't sound specific at all. No, no, no. Like, yeah, we don't need a safe shot. Like don't definitely don't pull three wood and just give us one in play, you know, even though, like, I don't know, we've all kind of hit one OB, and, like, it's kind of up to you. But definitely hit the same shot we did.

I think a funny – the one I'm seeing a lot of is, like, having a $2,000 computer set up and not having, like, a dining room table or something like that or like having a headboard i famously do not have a headboard but i don't know if i can with my adjustable base but i do have a two thousand dollar computer do you know that about him what's that do you know that he has like the elevated the remote control elevated bed mattress you have like a hospital bed yeah yeah it's a hospital bed that's exactly what it is oh i do i actually i remember when you got this only got like two more months of paying it off and then fucking right randy hell yeah yeah boy math is

like oh i'm gonna get my icon pass and be like oh those that interest rate on the affirm thing it's not bad so i'm gonna pay it off over 12 months okay yeah these are just getting darker the ones i'm yeah they're really yeah in college there were uh there was an some sketchy ass business that would go to frat houses and they would come in and they would try to get you to buy, sign up for like a subscription. And it was basically like, it was a pyramid scheme type deal. Yeah. I think. I don't know.

It was some kind of scam, but it was legal. Do you remember this? They would come in and say, you sign up, you pay like $500 up front. But then you get access to all these like very discounted TVs and stereos and stuff. But the thing was, you were locked in for like a year and they would get people, they would get people like, and the guy would have to come in and give like a presentation and you know, 20 dudes from the fraternity would, would show up, but he just had to get one. Do you remember that? It was so sketchy, very predatory. I don't remember any of that

yeah it was essentially like um do you remember the you'd walk you'd be walking through the quad and there's like an american express table and it's like hey man you want a free pizza sign up for a credit card like oh well fuck you know i don't fuck yeah free i make no money pizza i'm in school i just gotta so i get this credit card and then i get a free za we uh we had a pyramid scheme hit our pledge class do you remember verve or vima absolutely yeah i'm on verve that hit our high school that hit college yeah absolutely my pledge class president got a couple of guys into it i was like this sounds dumb as hell what is that it was like vitamin and like supplement. It was like clean energy drink. It was a drink, yeah.

But it was like vitamin supplement drink type thing. It was just a pyramid scheme. The most pyramid scheme like ever. It was literally the definition of pyramid. You need your right leg, which is someone on campus, and your left leg is someone that's on a different campus or something like that underneath you, and then they will get money.

And I was like, they drew the thing. And I was like, multi-level marketing. No, no, it's, it's literally here.

Yeah. MLM. And to join, you obviously had to pay the person that brought you in to get product, to go give to people. Is that still around? No, they were shut down by the ftc for a pyramid scheme

my roommate had his mom paying 200 oh dude yeah that was going around i know a dude i know a dude who got the one that i was talking about got in on it and like it like jacked his credit up because he couldn't make payments and like it was it was fucked there's a lot of i think a lot of like beauty products still kind of do stuff like that do you remember advocare i know i have a care still around in some capacity but i remember when i have a care like first dropped there's some that are kind of felt very very uh there's some that are like i feel like have two separate businesses there's one that's kind of like a multi-level thing there's the real stuff but yeah be careful out there dude when you think

of a good pyramid scheme pizza you want to launch one let's do pizza go ahead give me your pitch all right um you pay me say it's 39.99 a month here's the money right handing it to you right you get you get discounted pizza dave, all month. Really? Mm-hmm. Is this like prepaid legal? Yeah. Do you remember prepaid legal? You're basically like me, who I pay for two car washes a month every month. Okay.

What's prepaid legal? Prepaid legal is a subscription thing, and if you ever needed a lawyer, you had one on retainer. And there was a kid from my high school who, I remember we came back from college freshman year like freshman year and we had like went to a party and he's like trying to sell me on prepaid legal i was just like i still need a lawyer like if i need one that bad like i get a public defender for free why did he need a lawyer he didn't he didn't he was just it was it was an absolute scheme and this dude was trying to scheme me in like 2003. It's very hilarious. And he's actually a really nice guy.

It doesn't really fit him at all. But he'd probably like that one back. Randy, you were laughing. So I know back in high school, the football team would sell like cards, go door-to-door sales. Oh, yeah. They still do. I definitely sold a bunch.

We did that for Bowie High School last year. What if we did that and made an actual Zah card, like you were saying, and get pizza places on there and sell them around town? Get unlimited pizza every month up to a certain dollar value, like $2 more than you paid for it. A real Zah card. Dude, we used to sell the shit out of those cards.

What would Meatball do? We got to talk about Ronnie Meatballs. It's my favorite theory going right now okay dylan walked in this morning and like the first thing he saw was my face and i was just cracking up he's like what's so funny i was like i'm just looking at ron desantis boot picks because i missed a lot of this over the last few days but um the theory is that the 5'9 ron desantis listed at 5'9. Average height, nothing wrong with that.

No. Not quite a short king, an average king like me. The theory is he's got little platforms in his boots, his cowboy boots. So he's essentially on his toes inside his boots. People keep saying like high heels in his boots. I don't think it's an actual high heel in the boot. It's just a little, it's like a wedge. A wedge. it's just a little it's like a wedge yeah not a pledge just a regular wedge hungry um he's five nine and there's a there's photo randy if pull up the photo that i sent you and if you could pull up the photo

if you could look up the uh photo of him standing next to Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, that one is truly damning. First of all, that photo on the right, no one walks like that. Why is every photo of him taken? He's like professionally done. Why does he look like the goofiest dude you've ever seen? He's a pretty awkward guy. What really drives this home for me is that the toe of his boot, it looks to be empty. It's floppy toe.

It's floppy. There's nothing in there. It's like creased and pointed upward when it shouldn be empty. It's floppy toe. It's floppy. There's nothing in there. It's like creased and pointed upward when it shouldn't be. It's like a witch. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. And if your foot goes all the way to the toe,

your toes go all the way to the toe, I should say, it doesn't have that effect. Bro, Tiger's 6'1". And does he always wear these same black boots or does he have other ones i would think that the tech he's got that technology and his other pairs but like he's not wearing you can't do that with a pair of like new balances right yeah and he's he's listed at five nine dave like you mentioned he's not he's not taller than tiger boots you can i think you could get a pair oh yeah that's there's no foot there no no it looks it looks completely empty yeah we're missing stop at the

crease yeah they don't they're not supposed to turn up the way they do their turn up if he if his toes do turn up like that then i want to bring back reptilian theories because that's up like that then i want to bring back reptilian theories because that's simply not human um just saying somebody somebody in a debate should walk over it's probably it's gonna have to be the orange man even though i don't think he's gonna debate but the orange man needs to walk over and give a little squeeze just a little hate or like darren like take off take off your shoes show us your foot i will right now brother ron show us your feet dude i there's something is there something wrong with just a politician being five nine like i know like you want to be taller what's joey b he seems like kind of a tall dangly old guy that right boot specifically

boots don't do that no that you know when boots do that if you have to pack them like and smash them in your suitcase and you take them out and like they're kind of the heel like the toe was bent up you got to wait for it to flatten out this is not this is not a legitimate boot there's a wedge in there and all for what three extra inches you just wear the boots normally you're getting an inch and a half right yeah absolutely a thick heel on them as as it is you know yeah there's something to this it's gonna be exhausting walking around in fucking high heels all day are boots a big player in florida dave you're asking the wrong no that's swamp territory northern new york guy okay although there are plenty of people from north upstate and western new york that go to florida

for retirement very true many people in my family actually so if you want a little i did this on do you know at one time our tallest president abe lincoln at six four also lbj six four and trump why did you say like that why did you say lbj with a cadence because that's what dave says because he makes it horny and And Trump was 6'3". Biden's 6'. Our shortest was James Madison at 5'4". What? That's a tiny guy.

That's cute. You can't be 5'4", be president. Has anyone just flat out asked him about this? Like, hey, what's up with your boots, man? No, because now they're going to be smart. Well, I say this. That campaign is now aware. And they're like, all right, we can't run back out the wedge boots.

I'm sure you had your fun being six foot. That was probably a great time. We got to go back. We're going to have to bring you back down to 5'10", which, by the way, is completely adequate and fine. Way less embarrassing being 5'9", than being caught wearing boots that give you three yeah than being six feet and heightening that's boy math right there that's straight up boy is it

really is well done randy right on good sir apparently these boots uh offer height increases in inside the boot like this might not even be how high can you go four inches what yeah dons i would think that would throw your equilibrium wait do we know that's the brand of boot that's what people are saying they've they've found the boot and you can literally go get it with a height increase could you could you get it like could you get that boot with the fur? Like if you really wanted to? Full leather, full rubber, or a hybrid? That four inches has got to include the heel itself. And then they have like a little extra wedge inside.

I would imagine. Doesn't that seem like you're really putting your meniscus in jeopardy, walking around all day like that? Like something in your knee is not gonna like what you're doing. Women wear high heels all the time. This might be a Ron John,

because like one of his, his campaign's like, hey can we can we not do the he's like what are you talking about i'm just wearing boots like he's doing this completely on his own yeah they're like ron we're gonna we gotta check your boots bud we know what we know what you're doing that's weird that they offer heightening you're like huh yeah i'm i'm completely in on this like i i think we've seen that you have to convince me otherwise at this point they're gonna have to buy a regular pair of boots and they're gonna have to turn the toe up and be like this is just what the boots do and he's gonna take his his boot off me like look see look at this is my little tiny yeah but when you put your boot with your foot in there it shouldn't be floppy and sticking up that way.

No, they're going to have to manufacture it so it looks like this is all a big to-do about nothing. He wears these boots everywhere. Because those are his tall ones. Those are his tall boots. Those are his big boy boots. Hungry. Are these the ones he wore at dinner when he was hungry? Probably.

He doesn't take them off, apparently. Every interview he does, every... He's got the boots on. Noticeable lack of fur, though. Yeah, that's the thing, man. I don't know. I want to go with a square toe also. If I'm really trying to win that blue-collar West Texas vote,

I'm going square toe it's meatball for you can you square toe with the wedge i don't see why not uh it's all about the heel man i don't believe i don't believe it offers a square toe option on this specific model you can put a wedge in anything really dave if you think about it yeah except dave this weekend because i didn't play well. Yeah, your wedge game was off. Yeah, you were right. It was.

I putted really well. Zero three putts. Real hard it is to have zero three putts. Well, you're playing a scramble. Well, Friday round at least. It was solo. No three putts. Fair and proper.

We got some Brett's breaking news I see here. What's going on? Yeah, so you're familiar with LA, right, Dave? LA? LA. I see you here. What's going on? Yeah. So you're familiar with L.A., right, Dave? L.A.? L.A. L.A. Los Angeles. Well, the Olympics are being hosted there.

2028. Oh, cool. And we have new sports on tap. Ready for this? Glizzy Goblin. Nope. That did not make the cut baseball coming back okay is the is the new is the the first part but here we go softball coming back as well cricket flag football and lacrosse and squash being added flag football flag football uh you added? Flag football? Flag football. Is it like seven on seven? Five on five.

Okay. Flag football. If you're a fan of the offense, that is going to be a fun time. I might be in on that. Really? Are they going to try and use real football players to play?

There's no way. There's no way the NFL, much like the NHL, would let their guys play. There's no way. There's no way the NFL, much like the NHL, would let their guys play. There's no one playing at a high enough level flag football that is. Apparently there are. The NFL is behind this effort, by the way.

There's some very, very competitive flag football leagues out there. Troy Vincent, obviously. We've got a guest host Wednesday that is in a very competitive flag football league. Who? It's going to be a surprise.

It's Jay Kemp. Our old friend Jay Kemp is guest hosting Wednesday. And he is in a competitive flag football league. I can see the XFL. They'll be out of season at that point.

I think if you want an NFL shot, you're crazy not to try to become a uh all-time good great olympic flag footballist which the problem with the baseball thing too like they had last time is during the mlb season right yeah summer olympics so like no actual professionals want to go they just run out a bunch of really good college kids yeah and they always get smoked by Cuba or the Dominican or Japan. Japan, yeah.

I follow a couple guys on Twitter who maybe played at Baylor and they were very good, fast receivers, but they just never got drafted, never made it. And they kept training and still try to do the XFL thing. Perfect for them. Absolutely. Somebody like that. Imagine being the stud from the US team.

An NFL team has to sign you just for PR reasons. Are we still doing golf? I believe so. It's not mentioned in this list. Okay. But lacrosse, I think, would be kind of really cool. Yeah. Especially.

It would be a really good opportunity for them to run out their best like best on best is there another country that can fuck with our lacrosse i'd say canada's up there yeah it's a great point okay any more breaking news brent uh hockey returns this week cool sabers signed rasmus dolly to an eight-year extension okay very. Very happy. What do you think about that? Still enjoying my Stanley Cup. That's true. Wow. You do have one.

Congratulations on that. And the Sabres have zero. Okay. Sorry. Don't want to talk about it. New year, man. Tomorrow, spooky season. Wednesday, our friend Jake is in town,

Listener voicemailsails hit the pipeline if you've got some voicemails 888-618-4422 again 888-618-4422 get in get out be tactical and then i'm feeling a coffee friday yeah i think we're gonna have to do it only because you said it's content week it's also uh coffee week jake going to be here. What other weeks are there? Tomorrow and Wednesday? No, just Wednesday. Oh, you said tomorrow. I'm here tomorrow.
