Good morning. Welcome to the Circling Back podcast. My name is David. I'll be filling in for one Will to freeze who is uh traveling right now he's in transit he's in mexico if you were to track his package it would say delivery date today oh so anytime today we don't know what time he might not be in mexico anymore probably not but hard to say um to my right i've got uh two gentlemen who i don't think either of them particularly need an introduction but I'll give them one.

Since we're doing a podcast, we probably should. Ladies and gentlemen, it's KJ. Oh, me first. I appreciate that, David. Thanks for having me on. We all saw it coming. You know. Oh, yeah, we did. Do not come. We did. I kept my eyes open. I'm on a cam. You guys are cum jokes here.

It's Halloween, Halloween, post-Halloween. Happy November. Happy Dad Tax Day, bros. You know what I'm saying? Kids bring home candy and you steal it overnight right right that's right more on that later oh yes we're gonna talk halloween but here's a guy let me tell you about this guy this guy's been all over the world lately he is international he's worldwide mainly north america but still it's uh it's circling back zone, Dylan Chivary.

Thank you, David. Yes, I was across international borders. Sure. I was in a different country. Yeah. That's probably a better way to say that. I was in Mexico. Good base to watch.

I made it. I'm back. Where were you exactly? The Tulum area. Not in Tulum, but I could have taken a short Uber ride to Tulum from where I was. Given the amount of influencer content, I assumed you were in Tulum.

Major Tulum vibes. I had an excellent time with Bae. Why don't you save it for this weekend at fun? I did ask, though. This is my fault because I asked. I did bring candy into the stew. Slow down. We'll get to that. Can you just save yourself? Randy already ate his. This is my fault because I asked. I did bring candy into the stew. Slow down. Slow down. We'll get to that. Don't.

Did you see it, KJ? Can you just save yourself? Randy already ate his. He couldn't. He couldn't cope with himself. We were going to make up and we were going to lie that he had not. Oh, yeah. We were. We can give him another one.

Nah, he's fine. More on that. We got a heavy show. We are loaded. Big load show. It's Big Load Monday. I don't think that's a thing, man. Hey, by

the way, we're presented today by Roback. You can get 20% off your first order using code BACKER20. It's a one-time code. KJ's rocking his Roback hat today. That is true. Oh, I'm not. Yeah, way to go. I thought I had the hoodie on, but I don't. You're doing more of like a legacy brand.

Right. Well, i had to rep the blue chip i had to rep them boys today that's right i see it i see it i'm rocking the uh guy who needs to do laundry in a bad way because just i mean not that i'm out on the lucas shirt but it's just like i feel like i this is kind of a every other day shirt for me so real mail-in from your boy but check out roback use code backer 20. Don't forget. We do Patreon beyond the paywall. And I want to start off by saying spooky season, another spooky season in the books, spooky season three done completed officially and sadly deleting it from the rundown. Um, and I missed the last episode of spooky.

I'm not happy about it. Um, I actually meant to wear my costume in today. You only missed 20% of the spooky seasons. I know I'm not happy about it um i actually meant to wear my costume in today you only miss 20 of the spooky seasons i know i'm not happy um but i'm gonna wear my costume probably tomorrow you're telling me you didn't come dressed as a guy who used to coach with sean mcveigh and now is holding a clipboard and cowboys sideline guy no that's not me no um my costume it works as like an everyday outfit, so it's not like I have to sneak it in here or anything. I'll be fine.

He's going to wear his baseball cup into the office, ladies and gentlemen. Very cool. I can't wait for a good November costume. Hey, just want to say thanks to everybody for listening, everybody who submitted stories, spooky at washmedia.com. We might have some editorial just because we have a surplus of stories, so we may be doing some stuff there. Shout-out Ghoul Adam, who's at home today.

Had a big weekend. He was a big help during spooky season, as was producer Randy and all the guys, everybody here, Brett, Dylan, Will, KJ2, just everybody. It was a fun spooky season. Shout-out to Ross Bowen, W.R. Bowen, noted New York Times bestselling author for filling in. How did he do? He loved it. He was good.

I knew it was going to be good because he's never been a part of it. And honestly, he probably didn't know what it was. He's always been a sneaky, spooky little bitch, you know? He is. And he finally got to express it a little bit. I love that for him. I told him, I said, hey, feel free to wear a costume. And he kind of assured me he would.

And he just wore like an Astros jersey. Which I feel like he's wearing every day at this point. So you dress like you normally do. Very cool. That's okay. He did great. We do listener voicemails, Friday voicemails. We drop them on Thursday. That's user submitted content.

Check it out. Oh yeah, we got candles. Do you even burn? The candle that's taking the world by storm go to velobox.com circling back velobox.com circling dash back excuse me those aren't sold out yet are they sold out i don't know check it out they might be if they're not we'll maybe consider re-upping uh put the word back out there that we back up.

weekend in fun, presented by our good friends at Early Bird CBD. Man, happy to have these guys back on board. Early Bird gummies are a recreational hemp product and contain 2.5 milligrams of natural THC and 12.5 milligrams of CBD in each gummy. They are formulated for fun and make you feel good, much like this podcast. May I interject with a personal anecdote about earlier bird CBD? I love anecdotes. I brought, let's say, a handful of them to my trip in Mexico. Okay. And let me just say, I love them. I already loved

them before this trip. Now I'm like, it's almost an obsession at this point, how much I love these things. They're so much fun. Take one if you just want to chill out. Take two if you want to get a little lifted, have some fun. Some people take them when they go on vacation.

Some people take them to relax. Some folks take them to pregame a little bit. I get, every time, I get post-trip fly-home anxiety. I don't like the trip there so much. I feel great. On the same way. I get so anxious. I popped a CBD from Early Bird.

I was just vibing. So anxious. Right. Just kidding. Yeah. Anxiety. Early Bird is an Austin-based company. And if you don't know this, they were like our original sponsor.

They let us use – they have a podcast studio in their home. They let us use it. They helped us get this company off the ground. Great dudes. Forever indebted to them. We love supporting local businesses, especially ones that have helped us. They're one of the original advertisers on circling back. People forget that. So check it out. Early CBD, early bird, cbd.com use promo code steam, and you can get 20% off everything.

That's early bird, cbd.com promo code steam. It's a single use discount so a customer can only use them once check it out boom um a lot to get to but i will let kj start first because i think he had just an extravagant weekend himself i did i um i was inspired by the c television series Tough as Nails. Have you seen this, David? Seen the promos for this? I sure have. This sounds like a Randy show. Borderline problematic show.

I'm sure someone out there loves it. But the concept essentially is what if we made a competition show about all these jobs that somebody actually does and we act like we're paying, in fact, we're just being like, damn, that shit's difficult. For example. Like such as? Like and such as roofing. Let's be like, hey, in this competition, you guys are going to go shingle a house. You know, a lot of people suffer from shingles, Talon. Yeah, it's very unfortunate.

Roofing is a hard-ass job. Absolutely. So it's a little weird to make it into a television series and be like, hey, look how hard this guy works. And then, you know, I'm sure there's some hidden secret boss aspect to it. Nevertheless, my weekend, I went full Home Depot pro all over the house. I completely, you know, gutted some landscape out front. At one point in time, I was in the attic. I'm talking about reinstalling some insulation panels.

In the attic during spooky season. During spooky season. Sheesh. Over the Demi, I built a partition wall in my garage so I could have a little workshop. So I can have a little workshop. Well, you know, as me and the fam are considering selling a house, it's probably not code nor ideal to cut a garage down in quantity by half a car. I won't say how many cars, but, you know. Trying to get a little extra square footage. You have a huge garage.

Yeah, whatever. Looked at a number of houses that tried that move. I was like, this is a garage. You can't fool me. So, yeah, I was all over the map, swinging a hammer, nailing some boards. That's the KJ way. You know. Burning through the witches.

Oh, man. All these calluses. Actually, no, I wash my hands like four times during the day. You moisturize. One of the things I'm not good for is thinking about, like, oh, shit, what if a spider is on my leg? Like, I'll change clothes mid, like, labor job. Can't do it.

Labor job. Day labor job, whatever you want to call it. Yeah, that was my weekend, Saturday and Sunday. We'll get into the sports on Too Much Dip, so I'll save all that for next time. We'll get into the Halloween here in a moment, too. Dylan. Yes. Thank you,

David. Actually, actually, can we finish with yours? Let me get mine out of the way. Cause mine's, mine's nothing. I want to finish strong.

Are you freaking serious? You got the good one. You'll look. All right, dude. Uh, it was low key. Didn't do much. And it kind of,

uh, Halloween is where it went is where we went off. It was a great time. I was classic, a classic classic dad just hanging out. I've got a lot going on, so we kept it close. Dylan? As always, I guess I'll just carry this whole segment. I know.

I'm giving you the forum. Though technically not the weekend as we return from Mexico on Thursday. They don't know that. I was in mexico last week straight up me and bay we did a little vacay mexico clip that and uh vacay that rhymed i gotta tell you i met some listeners at the resort what met some listeners at the resort they were also on vacation or they like they were there armand they were on vacation damn that would be Armand? They were on vacation.

Damn, that would have been dope if you found some listeners that worked at the resort. As it is a Spanish-speaking country, I don't think there are platforms out there that will translate circling back to Espanol yet. Oh, they can't speak English? What if circling back was like Dallas was for a bunch of European countries back in the 80s and 90s or whatever? This is how they learned English, is listening to Circling Back. I mean, I would love it if that happened. That'd be dope. I really hope not.

If you're an ESL teacher, do that. Some English-speaking, seemingly Americans approached me and said, hey, love the podcast. U.S. Americans? Including one couple who both listened that were on Honeymoon. Oh. Big congrats to them. Very nice people. Saw them in the Italian restaurant at the resort.

Were they in the pineapple suite? Dude, you see that show? Back to back. White Lotus was a pretty good show. Yeah, it was a good show. It says a lot about materialism. Appointment television, HBO is. That's all I say.

Anyway, back to my weekend. This is about me still. Okay. Yeah, I got back and didn't do a whole lot. Just spent time with the kids. It was good to see the kids. Me and the homie just big time chill. Okay.

Big time. Of course, yesterday was Halloween. Took the kids trick-or-treating. The homie absolutely cleaned up. He dressed as Pikachu. Got an entire segment coming up that I wanted you to table it for, but you do you. Go off. I just said what he dressed up as, David.

No, that's fine. That's all I said. Okay. Also, another little thing happened yesterday. Bay and I, we went house shopping. Look at this. You went down to the house store. Real estate movers.

We saw- Tiny house? We saw two homes. The second one we made an offer on. Was it an offer that they cannot refuse? They can very easily, but they might say yes. And so who knows? Might have a new crib in the not-so-distant future.

So that's exciting. That's big coming off a vacay with Bay. And also I brought some candy in. Can we table that again? We have a number of segments we would like to do on this pod we don't want to burn them all up front the boys won that's true with qb2 at the helm we're doing too much dip right now just with nuts this is too much dip with other stuff oh stop no i mean literally the people on this podcast are the too much dip pocket i'm not gonna even move seats before we record the next one. No. The best thing about

recording with Dylan aside from the actual recording with Dylan, especially for circling back, is that you feel like you've got to throw an obstacle course out there in front of him

any time he's telling a story. And he executes it perfectly. Yeah, that's what you... Yeah. He's one of the few on the show who can start at a point and get to the end of the story dealing with our bullshit.

But then you realize sometimes those obstacles keep him from like cannibalizing the next four segments or the entire show maybe i've been known to jump ahead sometimes intentionally sometimes just oblivious obliviously yeah that works whatever works for me well that's fantastic um it is fantastic i'm very yeah do you want to address flailgate oh yeah sure

this wasn't on the run I didn't know we were getting into this well this is what we call a little curveball gotcha journalism here yeah so thank you

I sprinted into the ocean out there looking like Tony Pollard just chopping okay RB2 Dallas Cowboys that is true that's where he is on the depth chopping. Okay. RB2, Dallas Cowboys. That is true.

That's where he is on the depth chart. Yeah, he's RB2. And look, in my head, when I was out there chopping, I felt good about it. I was like, oh. You normally execute this quite well. I'm putting in work. Like, my knees are high.

You know, I'm just tearing ass through this water. The video just told a slightly different story though i look slow where can we see this video speed used to feel a little bit more top speed or look more top speed uh on twitter at d shivery you can find this video okay uh yeah the flailing was just embarrassing oh there's rain look at that someone gifted thank you whoever gifted what what am i doing i don't know it looks Thank you, whoever gifted it. What am I doing? I don't know. It looks like you're doing like a wacky hand thing.

It looks like I'm doing hurdles, but there are no hurdles. Yeah, you know, life is full of hurdles. Sure. Maybe you're step, did you step on a rock or maybe like a starfish? It was a rocky area, but I found a path that was very sandy. I spent time researching my my route how was the weather i know you were concerned about that going in uh perfect because you were saying oh very humid yeah as it was on the beach it's humid down there people forget that it's humid right by the beach

marine layer uh none to speak of okay i'll defer to you if you want to name names, but just in general, the resort itself, highly recommend. Food? Yeah, I recommend. The food was, so this was an all-inclusive place. Okay. And what that means is everything's included. All. You're Mr. All-Inclusive.

Yeah. So at those places, it can be hit or miss. And the food was very hit or miss. Was this sandals? Some things it was not. Some things were absolutely delicious. Some things were just like, yeah, this is not very good. If you recall, I, too, went to an all-inclusive in Mexico. However, this was Playa del Carmen? No.

Oh, no, no, no. Playa Mujeres. That sounds right. Yep. I can't roll my R's, so whatever.aya Mujeres. That sounds right. Yep. I can't roll my R's, so whatever. Near Cancun. There you go. The other way, as opposed to Torres de Lume. And the best thing there was like the taco truck. And then like the hibachi place, but we weren't trying to do hibachi.

I was like, the last thing I want to do is look at these people. They weirdly had- Eat stir fry. Bomb ass sushi at this place. they're mexican food place yeah we got back we got back to austin and we both like looked at each other we were like i want to get a really good margarita right now yeah we saw because they do they do a mix you know at these you know they just make a million of them a day not literally but a lot and the mix it's like i just want a real mark so we went to matzo rancho when we got back very cool sounds fun um we gotta talk about something have you ever been to the san Antonio Zoo. It's been years, but yes. This at the TL, there's a new exhibit at the San Antonio Zoo.

Was he there pimping people's rides? Oh no. There we go. Well, they pimped this whole thing because we now have a Pantera Walk, and it is essentially a clear bridge that connects two um exhibits that the big cats can just walk over and walk over you can see they just play hard as they play hard ass metal over the speakers there why is it called pantera walk i believe pantera means panther in spanish um but they knew what they were doing here. San Antonio, heavy metal city. Well, what they were doing is getting on our radar. They knew exactly what they were doing. They wanted us to promote.

This is a free promotion, basically. Where are we at on zoos in 2021? You hear a lot of people don't like the zoo. The god? No, no, no. Zoo, Z-O-O. Oh, okay. Okay.

Now that you're saying it, I realize I've gotten like an annual subscription to the Dallas Zoo that has gone unregistered and unused. Okay. I probably need to look into. I haven't been to the zoo in a while. Hey, before we keep going, dicks out for Harambe. Yeah. Thank you, David. Shout out.

I just wanted to say. What was the Dallas Zoo gorilla? Jay Jabari. That's right. the Dallas Zoo gorilla? Jay Jabari? That's right. Shout out to the homie Jabari. Dude, the original gorilla that was murdered by police. Oh. Yeah, so I didn't mean to bring this down.

Where am I at on zoos? You know, I don't know. You know what? You feel bad. You know Austin has a zoo? Yeah, the Austin Zoo, right? Is it not down y'all's way, like far southwest? Yeah, exactly.

And that zoo is kind of cool because they take in, like, injured rescue-type animals and try to provide them a home. Like, they have an eagle there that has, like, one leg, which is, you know. That's badass, though. It's still an eagle. A pirate eagle. Yeah, but, you know, anyway. Did they put a little peg?

I don't think they gave the. In place of the leg. I don't think the eagle has a peg leg. I'm not asking if they're pegging. KJ. God, dude. Like, I don't know what you think we do on this show. He told the story.

I don't know what you think we do here. Zoos in general, they're great for like three things. Lemon chills. Ooh. Getting a penny pressed into like an oblong penny with like an eagle on it for a quarter. Somehow it's 26 cents. You get your penny back. And then just the general smell of like petting zoo feed at all times. Sure.

When a lemon chill starts to melt a little bit. You know what? I'm about to blow y'all's minds. Give me the strawberry chill over the lemon chill starts to melt a little bit. You know what? I'm about to blow y'all's minds. Give me the strawberry chill over the lemon chill. I'm not going to bite you on that, dude. And it's funny because it's Monday and people are like, how's Dave going to do hosting? Is he going to go there? And I did.

That's what you do. That's what I do. I don't care. I'm the guy who doesn't care. Zoos, you can also find the ice cream of the future typically as well. Dippin' Dots. Ah, yes, yes, yes. And Both Go in my book.

Which Will DeFreeze has not had. It's been ice cream of the future for 30 years, as far as I understand it. It turns out that this place, it's Neotropica, or Neotropica, will be home to endangered jaguars, birds from the Amazon, monkeys and other mammals, fish, even reptiles. Pound for pound, the jag is the coolest big cat. I'll say it. I'll go there.

They do more. Yeah. They're not as big as the tiger. They're not as big as the lion, but they have the bite. They're the pit bull of the big cats. Is that fair? Mr. Worldwide. But like the dog I'm talking about.

Sure. Yeah. I'll connect all those dots. I give you that um a lot so i mean like you just go and you just stand there and watch them walk what if you go and they don't walk over you what if like they don't ever cross and you're just standing there all day like please please cross zookeepers have ways they like they'll put some food on the bridge like we went saw the polar bears in san diego not not so long ago they were sleeping like this kind of stinks they're way in the back and finally they took like some some cantaloupe or some shit and threw it in the water and they went swimming around it was tight what was the zoo in uh or the jag in uh new orleans that murdered all those alpaca oh his, his name was Valerio.

Valerio. Little known fact, I was in New Orleans that day, that very day. Really? And too hungover to participate in the internet, which was a great day on the internet. It was great. A lot of people say that was the best Touching Base podcast or episode of all time. A little additional note to the pantera walk here uh prior podcast i did uh it's called our texas and i did that with a guy named dr brad fulsom

he's a texas history professor one of his general interests is what's called interspecies combat or more commonly understood as like back in the 1800s like for circuses and vaudeville type stuff they would get different types of animals to fight and cage fight so all you're like bizarre could a bear take on a lion people were out there doing that and one of the most like well-known ones i believe was a bull that fought a bear it's called panthera with an h somewhere thrown in there uh so yeah if you want to go search and uh get all of your little actual real life true nuggets on how wild ass like the 1800s were uh that people were just rolling out and being like cage fighting all right we get this bear and this tiger in a cage. Well, the bull, Panthera, won multiple fights.

But they tried to do a 700-pound American grizzly who just didn't have any interest in fighting. But then the lion fought a 550-pound lion. And the lion wanted the smoke and then apparently did not want the smoke later on. Wait, from what what from a bear american grizzly versus a 550 pound lion so information is out there why were people so fucked up back then i don't know like just don't do that and animals 1800s were a much different time i know that you want to call things the arm barn but some of us do our barns not that bad not just back then dave there's some

shitty people still doing i know you're right he just got back from a cock fight like a week ago yeah you are a cock fighter i want some big boy stacks though stop betting on cocks it's a it's a bird dude okay but birds are basically baby dinosaurs, evolutionary speaking. Futures and fish fighting. Look it up. Ooh. Now, fish fights, that's different. Blub, blub. We could go.

What? Would they let us go down there with our camera team, with our video guys? To cockfights? No, no, no. To the Pantera Walk, the Dimebag Darrell Memorial Walk. Yes, I think they would because you've got like a – this is the worst rendering ever except for you've got like four copies of Randy Trumbacki over on the right. It's like, would you look at that? Stay out of the comments on the announcements of this because apparently Philadelphia people are in their feelings.

Apparently the Philly Zoo has a similar overpass. But they have shitty marketing and it's in Philly. Yeah, maybe brand it better, you dumbass. The difference is this is one that people might want to go to. This one's called the Pantera Walk. If it's the Philly one, is it the Bon Jovi Walk? Ah. And it just it's very mid. There you go. Bon Jovi sucks.

And I'm sorry. Philadelphia, I don't mind you as a town. Good bone structure. Bon Jovi is, is he Philly or is he Jersey? Doesn't matter. He sucks. Damn. Co-owner of the philadelphia soul former arena football team very true very true people forget um now i would like to officially talk halloween because halloween was last night yeah it was um this is my first halloween as a as a father welcome to halloween as a father and Welcome to Halloween as a father.

And let me just tell you, it's a lot different. First in your new neighborhood too, which is always, I would say even more than a kid probably, more of like a what the hell is this going to go situation, right? Absolutely. And first impressions, majority of the homes that chose to participate, they do not do the walk up to the door, ring the doorbell. It is a sit toward the street with a card table or in a couple of lawn chairs.

That's the new way. And I love it. Yeah. You don't have to deal with just like you look in somebody's house and it's weird. You don't have to worry about people looking in your house, seeing how much of a shit show it might be. Or getting up and down if you're the person inside the house, like waiting on the doorbell rings. Okay. You got a baby sleeping.

Exactly. It's a beating. Yeah. I will say glaring lack of high school kids. Terrorizing the neighborhood. Fucking shit shit up nobody yeah nobody's out pumpkins nobody's spray painted my home nobody broke into my car um yeah nobody like set my shit on fire it was just like what what are these kids doing you've been saving bags of shit for weeks dude this moment i was ready man i i had i had my auto cocker ready to go full canister of

co2 okay i'm gonna go out there and and light somebody up someone's gonna get lit up if i if i caught him smashing my gourds but fortunately it didn't come to that but uh i saw your gourd game by the way pretty strong yeah roads killed it roads was a dog yeah it was cute costume he we were like are we gonna be able to do this like we put it on him and it was like, okay, he doesn't like this. And he just kind of was like, yeah, I'm fine. And we took him around the block. He was a hit.

It was me, Rhodes, Randy, my wife. Had a great time. You know, everybody didn't get any candy, weren't doing that, but, you know. Yeah. You kind of just, you're showing off the baby. You're, like, kind of pointing him toward people in the stroller. And they're like, oh, you want any candy? Like, no, he's nine months.

Dylan had something to say. He's still milk only. I would say I brought some candy. Right. Yeah. You've referenced that. Yeah. You can bring a piece home to him if you'd like.

He's a little young. But yeah, our neighborhood, I was very happy with the participation. I think it was better than our old neighborhood as far as like people getting into it. Had a number of 12-foot skeletons. Okay. Love seeing big boy skellies. No bad vibes. I had the latest, I think, I went and had to pick up dinner.

I had some issues getting delivery. So I went, grabbed food, brought it back, got home at like 9. It's like halftime of the boys game. I got home at like nine. It's like halftime of the boys game. And I saw a kid, a teenager dressed as eggs and bacon and another one dressed as a slice of bay, slice of pizza. And they were like walking up to my driveway as I turned in. So it was like the awkward and they were like looking at the door,

looking at me and I got out. And I was like, hey. They're like, oh, hey, are you still doing Halloween? I'm like, yeah, I'm still doing Halloween. Still doing Halloween. I was like, dude like dude man y'all are late though like oh man sorry man we've been everywhere they're probably doing the drugs which is fine yeah um so i i emptied out what i had left and said here you go merry christmas i'm glad that you gave him candy because the like hardo thought of like oh if i see some, I'm not giving them shit.

Like, yes, if you see teenagers pushing kids out of the way to be first in line or they're coming at like 6 p.m. before kids start showing up, like, all right, wait your turn. Them showing up later in the game as long as it's not too late. And they're in costume. I don't mind. I'll toss them a candy bar or whatever. I didn't toss anybody anything because i kept the lights off last night so i could watch some football but oh dude committed to the game

we also live in a neighborhood that uh halloween version of the grinch that's what this guy is not typically but uh you know we live in a neighborhood that requires certain levels of access so there was we don't have many trick-or-treaters also and there's a bunch of older families so i just didn't need to be in a situation where i buy a bag of candy we get three people which had been the case the last couple years and then like i have to worry about somebody ringing the doorbell afterwards so it's like you know what this year just not involved not participating but don't you have like a full-on like security system like with like multiple cameras a guard out front there's no guard there's a guard jack there's a shack that looks like a guard check but it's really just the bathrooms for the turn

this is true there's a gate there's a gate but hey i hey, I'm selling out. So, you know, currently, you know, whatever. But, no, I opted against really doing anything this year, not for any other reason than just probably laziness. I threw a cowboy hat on Kai before he went to school on Friday or went to daycare on Friday. He killed it. He came back with a bunch of candy, which, you know, I've got questions about bags full of candy for 16-month-old kids, but whatever. Other than that, you know, I've got questions about bags full of candy for 16-month-old kids, but whatever.

Other than that, you know. What sugar has done to many generations is just, it's not talked about enough. It's a silent killer. Yeah. Did you dress up, I should have asked? Yesterday? Mm-hmm. Yeah, I went as a dad who, again, has not done laundry.

This guy. Who has beer and a Yeti or something similar, and just walked around the neighborhood with his baby and dog and wife. That was me. I took a Rambler around with me as well. I felt like I felt like I'd made it. I was like, here I am. Got a couple

yingling in the thing and I'm ready to rock. It says not only enough about you, it also says enough about the neighborhood when you can reach that status too. Yeah. Because you can go you know run around with a rambler in any neighbor like go around an apartment complex with a rambler like that doesn't work that way you've got to have the scene properly too yeah and you got to have the the the neighbor down the way that you don't know that much he's like how we what you got in there you're like beer and you're like yeah that's cool dude you beer? And you're like, yeah, that's cool, dude. You're drinking beer?

I'm like, I am drinking beer in public. Sometimes you'll see a super cool house that will have candy for the kids and alcohol for the adults. Wow. I love that thought. A box of wine and little cups, you know. Oh, did you slap the bag, bro? I didn't slap the bag, David. I'm 38 years old. Oh, fuck.

I'm 38 years old. 38 years old. Wow. Okay. If somebody had a bag slap situation, you know, no mouth to nozzle ordeal. Not in this climate. I'll take somebody to cup. I might just for the novelty.

I'm not going to do like a full pool. At least get the picture off. We're in the middle of a pandemic. I'm not going to. Again, not mouth to nozzle. But I would go up there and let it just dribble down my cheeks. Which cheeks? don't call it that don't let it dribble down your cheek what did you do you make everything so sexual seriously

you know the guy we have him on you know he can't have nice things well before i yield the floor here can i acknowledge the worst person on hallow Halloween aside from myself who just didn't participate? It's the person who doesn't know what you're dressed as that then has to ask you. And I kind of stumbled on this by just scrolling the TL and then being that guy in my head like, wait, what the fuck is this person dressed as? And if I were to be asking that in person, I'm the bad guy. Yeah. They don't need name tags.

And if I don't get it, you don't get to ask. Yeah. They don't need name tags, and if I don't get it, you don't get to ask. Yeah, the people who on Twitter who do their costume and the next to an image of what the inspiration behind it was. That's just as bad as name tags sometimes. Can I say, some might say the goat did that. I don't know if you saw LeBron. He went as Freddy Krueger. In fact, he nailed it.

Did not do a side-by-side. However, he did a side-by-side with the actual photo he was mimicking. I'm like, no, we know who you are. There's really not a question. We're familiar with this character. Unless you're from one of those niche tentacle hentai shows that Randy likes. Randy, can you pull up LeBron's Instagram? Then we don't need the example randy it's been like months since we'd referenced uh randy's anime thing and he thought he thought

he was past it he thought we'd moved on and we haven't we've not moved no forget starter pack yeah no that is a i think i'm guilty of doing that with i think i did that with my chippendales uh snl reference from a few years back but you're right right. I don't think it's as egregious as the name tag. Look, here's LeBron. Wow, who is he? I don't know who that is. I need more. I need more to reference.

He did well. Is there, like, another one? Oh, he's Freddy Krueger. Uh-huh. Wes Craven. New Nightmare. You know, the Nightmare was on Elm Street. I didn't realize Freddy Krueger was rocking a fedora, but he certainly is.

Is that kind of your inspo? No. Go on, David. Dylan, how was your Halloween specifically? It was fantastic. You dressed up slightly, no? No, I didn't dress up. I thought you was like a trash panda scout.

No, I just went as a trash dad who didn't dress up. Yeah, it was fantastic. We went to He Parks My Son, trick-or-treated with Lil' Bay. What? He Parks My Son. My son. Lil' Bay and Lil' Bay's cousin and some of the little kids from the hood, and they just mobbed, and he covered a lot of ground,

got lots and lots of candy he's he's like the the perfect fun age for trick-or-treating he's six he's all about it he's old enough to like cover a lot of ground on his own i don't have to like you know walk him from door to door he can just do it i'm just gonna hover in the street you know it's cool what at what point did he go from you're walking into each house, and then he, like, as the years go on, he wants to kind of be off a little bit further away from you, and you're just kind of like, man, I'm sad, but that's great.

Yeah, so three years ago, I had to carry him the entire time when he was three. Mega cute. It was cute, but it was like, dude, your legs work. You can walk. But he was just whiny. And then it's been getting progressively better. And he's just off and running now. It's pretty cool.

He had a blast. That's great. He had a blast, yeah. I know Randy's off mic, but I do have the thought, thinking about how nice the weather was here last night. Was it ever an ass whip in the Midwest of dealing with shit weather with shit weather on Halloween? Like, dealing with, like, we don't have to, like, rain, maybe. Some brisk nights, maybe. But, like, hashtag blessed, if you will.

Yeah. I'm trying to think when the last time we had, like, a bad weather Halloween was. I don't know, man. All the others have been blacked out. Oh, dude, this guy. Well, we've got a special surprise for everyone. But before we do it, I want to talk about our friends at Cuts. You know, modern life, Dylan, quite demanding.

Your wardrobe should be as versatile as you are, though. You shouldn't have to choose between comfort and style. You know what I mean? I do know what you mean, yeah. And we don't do that. In 2016, Cuts founder Steve Borelli felt boxed in by his wardrobe. We've all been there. Borelli.

He hated having to compromise between style and comfort, so he decided to do something about it, and he started with reinventing the humble plain tee. I'm a big plain tee guy. I love a good humble plain tee. Yeah. And theirs fits so well. So comfortable. Stretchy material. Go ahead. love a good humble pointy yeah there's fits so well so comfortable stretching material go ahead no so comfortable that gq called it the only shirt worth wearing stylish enough for the

boardroom or the street or even the bibliotheca the library correct uh comfortable enough for workouts in the gym that's a big i'm very picky about what I wear into the gym because I don't like it when I sweat in something and it doesn't get breezed. You know, you just get like, you don't feel good about it. But the cuts are great for the gym. You can wear them out to the club, the discotheque, whatever you want to do. You might think, hey, hey, hey, do we really need another take on a t-shirt? The short answer is yeah. Yeah, we did.

Absolutely. Cuts world world famous for making shirts that look as great as they feel whatever life throws your way and now they're reinventing work leisure below the waist too how about that let's go below the waist we've all gotten what did you get telling what'd you get from cuts they sent me a couple of shirts okay um i don't yet have the joggers and i'm quite upset about it oh you have you seen me in mine no you're gonna like the way i look i guarantee you got him i did when uh you know i don't i don't really give out that information on the pod publicly what but i did i mean i feel like that's yours are probably in transit it's okay you know

i maybe they sent everyone's to my place, and I've just been wearing them. Different sizes. I don't think I would appreciate that. Different styles. You can wear them to meetings. You can wear them around the house. Whatever you want to do. We're big fans.

Designed to never take a day off, even when you do. The joggers are fire. We love them. You know who else is wearing them? Some of the world's elite athletes. You ever heard of Patrick Mahomes, Damian Lillard, Tim Tebow, and Bryce Harper? I've heard of all of those guys. Those are pretty big names.

Got a little wobbly there at the end, but I saved it kind of. Hey, all right, special event here. Dylan, I'm going to let you take the form. Yeah, so we did a candy draft, what was that, I guess

a couple weeks ago now, and I got a lot of, by a lot, I mean everyone on the internet had something to say. People who weren't even, people didn't know who we were, people from other media companies chiming in. I had people quote tweeting me, responding to my tweet, just telling me how much of an idiot and how old I must be.

Like, who are you? This dude can't wait. I tried to open it before the podcast. I didn't even know what it was. You made a mess. And my number one pick was the Charleston shoe, which I'm holding in my right hand. That's a little dance we used to do.

The Charleston shoe is something that apparently is unfamiliar to a lot of people because people are like, what the hell are you talking about, Charleston Chew? I being one of those people.

It's an old person candy. Just because it's been around for a long time doesn't mean you're supposed to hate, you can't hate on it just for that reason. Projecting?

There's a reason it's been around for so long and it is still being sold today. What are you doing? Are you eating it already? No, I started to. I put it under the table to hide how much I didn't eat it yet. Anyway.

Dylan, the longer you go, the further away from the mic you get. I'm holding in my hand the Charleston shoe, and I gave one to Dave. Randy already had his. I gave one to David. You couldn't wait. To KJ. And I would like to invite you guys to join me in eating a Charleston Chew.

I want your live. Please be honest with your review of it. I'm going to give the people a little bit of this. Here's what sets it apart, in my opinion. Hold on, David. So it tastes very, very good, obviously. Okay. But.

Now I feel like you're wearing a shirt outside of a polling place. The consistency, the chewiness, if you will, is perfectly perfect. And that is what sets it apart in my mind. Are you reading a, is this ad copy? I was about to say, can you describe what a Charleston chew is first? Because whenever you, like I thought it was a Butterfinger type candy. It is chocolate in marshmallow. Okay.

It is fucking perfect. I'm going to, for the sake of this segment i'm gonna allow more than one bite multiple bites all right first bite yeah chocolate's good i have been on record many times opposing marshmallows you're not aware i'm not a marshmallow guy for the record i am aggressively not because i think s'mores are ruined by their presence. I don't mind them in hot cocoa.

I don't mind them in concept. But I don't mind them in Charleston Chew either. Tastes just like Charleston. Right? I now see why Eminem chose to reference these in his hit song. I want to say forgotgot About Trey. Maybe. But either way, it lasts longer than I'd probably prefer.

Eminem, another solid candy, by the way. Wow. The flavor's good. Marketing, not great, but the flavor's great. I don't think they even market it at this point. I tried to find them on Instagram, and I couldn't. They're just like, here, take it or leave it. If you buy it, that's great.

If not, we're going to be just fine. Let me say, it wasn't gross. It's not going to crack my top five. It may not crack my top ten. But there are worse candies out there. Not bad. You know, it's still a little wild to me. Is this your number one? Yeah, I to me. Is this your number one?

Yeah, I believe so. To be your number one. He got great value in the second round, I will say that. The peanut butter bar, I was unaware of it by name until I saw the image of it. Another brand that has no marketing skill, but those absolutely go. It's essentially a Butterfinger without the BS, like, melty chocolate on the outside. See, I'm just opening people's minds, you know? You know, you open them, I freak them.

That's true. The one thing I think is critical to consider here with Charleston Shoe, if you were to go out there and say, you know what? Okay, I'm going to stop dunking on Dylan for this. I'll try it myself. Maybe tap the brakes if you're going to go buy like the king size at your local corner store find the fun size or whatever the halloween size candy because if i was trying to survive like a snicker size charleston shoe that might be a little daunting yeah i got a bag of the fun size

and it's a great little bite little treat you know yeah it's a classic twist on an old favorite. Is it? Maybe. Okay. I think history will look back upon you and what you've done. And they'll be like, you know what? Good for him. While he wasn't correct and while he did get roasted off of Twitter, ratioed like I've never seen. I'm still there.

I'm still there. Adam on the gram and Twitter. You know what? It wasn't that bad. It was better than, what's the one with the coconut? Almond Joy? Or Mounds?

Mounds. Mounds is an Almond Joy without the almond, I think. Maybe that's why. And they're trash. Almond Joy's got nuts. They are woated Halloween candies. I just went off on Heath Bar over the weekend. I didn't like that somebody somebodies tried to rope in Dots as being trash,

like to dunk on Charleston Chew and some of your other selections. Dots fucking go. I feel like KJ is so on board with my list at this point. I get it, people. Don't get me wrong. Dots are good. Number one in the world is Sour Patch Kids, but we're not talking about am I going out to purchase a large bag of this?

If I get this in my Halloween bag, the dots will be eaten. Let me also say. Starbursts will be eaten. Charleston's Chew now crosses that threshold. On Twitter, I said that Sour Patch Kids don't strike me as a Halloween candy. I don't associate them with Halloween. And guess what? Parks got a mountain

of candy last night zero sour patch kids the only thing i will say against sour patch kids here is you have sour patch straws which are way better in thought than they are in practice because they're always way truer than you think they are should be and need to be but sour patch kids i'd almost say they're disappointment dare i say as a halloween candy because you get like four kids in there and i'm like no no no i need like claiming all these motherfuckers on my tax return like 12 of them minimum per bag in order for me to enjoy it so it just does not fit the halloween candy okay interesting okay all. This is from the guy who turned his light off. Keeping that shit for myself.

Actually, no, I didn't buy any this year. I'm not even going to front. That's okay. I figure you would have, like, done little pieces of pulled pork that you had been smoking and had them on a toothpick and just handed them out. Give some people a little protein. If I had somebody knock on the door, I had to go through my head, like, what the hell am I going to give away here? We did have some, like, random godiva chocolates that were individually wrapped you know they came out of like a costco bag and they were individually

wrapped but i'm like is this a trash like old person candy to give out godiva chocolates obviously great but it certainly is like a step away from giving people fucking worthers i'm like uh-oh I'd fit the neighborhood. I would not fit my own age bracket. Werther's. Did you like the sideline reporters, like the beat reporters getting into the candy corn stuff with Leach and all the coaches?

The candy corn thing, and we're guilty of doing multiple segments on Halloween candy, but every time I see candy corn, I'm like, dude, just give it up. We don't have to do do this again we re-litigate it every year you're saying give up the discussion about it being good or bad yeah i agree with uh brunch's own wash media podcast brunch's own dj beans take where just like how much people would tell you that they did not watch game of thrones no offense to anyone in international transit, people will have to force themselves upon you to tell you that they hate candy corn. And I'm like, okay.

Don't buy it. Yeah. I wouldn't know where to buy it. Probably the store. Probably Walgreens or CVS. Anywhere candy is sold. Broccoli's cooking for sure. But still, I think that's a good take.

DJ being a smart guy. Very smart guy. Speaking of smart, KJ, why don't you just go ahead and break down NFTs for us? Non-fungible token. Somebody hit us up, and I don't know if it was like an actual listener. It was a very business-like email, but asking if we wanted to do NFTs for the podcasts and washed media. for the podcasts and washed media. And when Randy brought that to my attention,

I tried to have an intelligent thought on it, and my brain immediately just shut off and then just was like kind of just staring off into space. Because I don't, not that I need it explained. I kind of understand the gist of it, but I just don't know how that would be a thing we could do. I will say that the dylan's shaking his head already i want his takes i haven't seen the email so okay this might just be old brain but i i don't i don't understand nfts generally speaking i just

don't i don't get it i think it's all of old head ass. You take a small clip or an image and you assign some like just like obscure. You assign a value to it. Correct. Based on what? Based on the market, bro. Like there's a Mona Lisa, right? That's a, you know, has great historical significance. It's a painting you can hold and it's in a museum.

Yes. I understand why. You ever seen it? I have. It's in the Louvre. Mid? Mid or no? It looks just like it doesn't.

It's small. It's smaller than you might think. I'm just asking. I want you on record. Fair? I understand why that has value to it. There's only one of them, and it's very famous. This is an image that someone created on a fucking laptop.

It's like, what's going on? You don't know. It could have been a desktop. If you follow Darren Revell, and I do, I'm a big fan. Might be your worst personality trait. He tweets about these all the time. Would you stop following him? No.

Stop following Obscure. I guess he's not Obscure, but just this one. This one was sold in April for $98,000, and yesterday it sold again for $2.9 million. I think that would help the company if we sold something for $2.9 million. I just don't— We could do a better Christmas party. I fundamentally don't understand these things. We need to—I'm going to take this off the rails.

We need to get a date down for our Christmas party, because KJ will come down for it if we give him enough time. We have one. We have one. We have one. When is it? It is December. Okay. Good start. Love to hear it.

Don't dox me, bro. 17. I'm there. I'm definitely going to try to be there. Okay. You're there. So I think you hit the nail on the head when when talking about like the mona lisa exists and so you understand there's one of them that otherwise is just oil paint on a canvas you know we all collectively agree that it has value so then it has value i would say a podcast you know has no

tangible physical presence um that anyone can possess and or own but then there is value to it most of the value being based and like then we can communicate about other tangible items but whatever we sell this audio media per se um with nfts i was familiar on the early wave where i kind of get off of the train is like the last year and a half where we pivoted from Kings of Leon announces, they're going to sell their album as an NFT and to be the first band, do it to like every individual brand going NFT route and having some other pivot kind of like going from, okay, I just began to understand Bitcoin,

but I don't know how many cummies it's worth. Like that's the question that everybody's wondering. Like that whole rail in between Bitcoin and Cumrocket, it's like, all right, somewhere along the way, I kind of stopped following. Yeah. So I think if you're saying, hey, I'm an actual artist and I create a, you know, or Randy. Randy is actually legitimately, you know, I would say an artist. He, whatever Christmas- Hold on a second. Well, remember oh yeah yeah christmas present for somebody last year and it

was like a badass like woodwork type thing i can't recall what it was might have been a wedding gift but he has skills if he were to make something you know ricky prosper probably a prime example somebody who could do something like this and it's one of one you technically own it the intellectual property don't you own the uh whatever the unique certificate code to say you own this art then what's to say uh there's no value there well part of that don't you understand i can screenshot it here's what i don't understand i can also buy a poster of mona when darren revels, this image just sold for $2 million, I can right-click and save it. And guess what?

It was free for me. I can put up a poster of Mona Lisa right next to my periodic table of sexual positions. What's the difference between the image I save onto my phone and the NFT that somebody owns? What's the difference? You can't take that screenshot and sell it to Randy. Whereas I have, you know, I've got the papers for the dog. He's got the metadata. You know, what's the difference between a breed of dog and a dog that, you know, I get at the Home Depot parking lot? More saving, less doing.

You've got the papers to back it up, theoretically. You know, so I agree. It's silly. I will never spend a dollar on it. But I could be convinced. You know. All right. If we were to do this,

the first person I'd call would be Ricky Prosper. Mm-hmm. Recently reposted by Complex. Ricky Prosper. Randy could help too. I don't know. I feel like Randy knows something. Randy's the one who put this to could help too i don't know i feel like randy knows something randy's gonna put this to my attention i don't know if you if you hated this segment it's randy's deal dylan i think we just just absolutely short-circuited dylan what would what would

be your preferred nft i guess is a better question uh a non-frat token what do you mean what do you mean like what do you feel like would be individual enough to wash media or yourself that could be you know used as a nft that we can auction off at the wash media christmas extravaganza pixelated brett like a remake of that pixelated brett going through like the portal then Verdansk that transports you across the map is one of my favorite things to ever happen. Oh, it's incredible. Yeah. Anytime I'm talking about Brett on Twitter, I just go back to that image. Actually, it's one of the few images I have sitting on my desktop.

I'm looking at it right now. That's how much he likes it, guys. Yeah. I don't know to answer your question. I don't know. David and Arby shirt? I don't know. Hey, I'm'm gonna need a

little taste if you're gonna use my likeness just a little taste confirmation that rim was touched we'll give you a little kickback dave don't worry yeah um i feel like there are a lot of options from prior videos you know maybe will maybe post getting giant gold scored on him next to me that's good i know i'm like slouching i knew that it was coming this route i don't know what route to go you know i'm reactionary i'm not the idea man but i agree with you dylan and that this train has probably gone far enough like you know can let's just give it a rest i don't believe half of the like hey this sold for 98 000 kind of thing if we this small to medium-sized podcast company put out an nft

there i mean these things are just flooding the market like just nobody's putting this shit out influencers are doing it like twitch people are doing it it's like i just i just don't get it i't know. You feel like a douche? Well, yeah. You buy this image of me. Like, who the fuck are you? Okay, but what if you donate that proceeds to a Christmas dinner? You not believe in charity?

I'm very charitable. I don't know. I don't know. Here's what I believe in. I believe Raycon. I believe they're the best. It's never too early to start gift shopping for the holidays, especially because today you can say big on a gift that you'll use every day.

Or whoever you want to buy these for, they'll use them too. Raycon wireless earbuds. Dylan and I, we walk up to each other at the gym. Both have them in. We kind of point we nod can't talk got our raycons in listening to tunes dylan's listening to bon jovi i'm listening to pantera big difference it's awesome uh with seamless bluetooth pairing and a comfortable noise isolating fit you can start listening right away and keep listening for hours the audio audio

quality is amazing comparable to what you get from other premium brands, except Raycon starts at half the price. And that is true. That is big facts. The battery life on these things, legitimately shocking. Yeah. Like you can set them. I set mine down for a couple months and picked them back up again,

and they were ready to rip. Wild. The new everyday earbuds come with three new sound profiles to make sure everything you're listening to sounds its best with just the right amount of bass. Pure mode is what they used to call me, but it's also one of the settings here. It's podcast listening, blues, instrumental, et cetera. Balanced mode, podcast listening, rock and heavy metal music. Bass mode, hip-hop, EDM, reggae, etc. And then beast mode.

I'm kidding. That's how I woke up. Is there a sicko mode too? We need a sicko mode. Raycon offers eight hours of playtime, like Dylan said, and a 32-hour battery life. There's also a built-in mic, and you can take calls on your earbuds at the press of a button. So this holiday season,

get them something that they can use for calls or music, for work, for play, at home, or on the go, or at the Biblioteca, wherever. Pick up a pair for yourself.

Very cool. You guys want to get meta with it? Oh, God. Don't oh God me. Yeah, I do. We have not talked Zuck. We got to talk Zuck. How did you feel when you left the country knowing that by the time you came back,

maybe the name most synonymous with social media, an industry you've built quite a living off of, ceases to exist? Well, I'm a big-time Facebook hater. The king of social media, and now we've got the king of frat chiming in this is i'm sorry i stepped all over that no no it's okay he's probably glad for it so i mean this is just i don't know a rebranding attempt trying to just put their the conglomerate has been rebranded to meta troubled reputation behind them and move on to a different one. Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, things of that nature. I'm glad you said Instagram because this guy,

the highest Instagram engagement he's had in a while, but he hates Facebook. Oh, man, suck, dude. Suck stinks, man. No, it's fine. Two separate entities and one was acquired. It was an acquisition. It was acquired, yes, an acquisition. Thank you, David.

Thank you. For explaining. Yeah, I don't know. It's still the Zuck. Are you guys going to fuck around in the metaverse? I'll tell you what, though. Let me say this. Are you going to fuck around in the metaverse?

If they wanted to really rebrand and leave the reputation of uh facebook in the past and to promote their new their newer whatever metaverse maybe get zucks dorky ass off of my screen like when this guy promotes he can be promoting the coolest thing that's ever existed and it just looks like the nerdiest shit ever like i don't want to do i want to be a part of this culture. Their launch video explaining this, it is almost like a, we're not going to review Succession today. We will Wednesday, probably. But it is almost like something

that a writer's room would come up with for just a generic, corporate, cheesy play on that. Because not even just Zuck. Not even Zuck. Zuck is bad. We get that. He has no personality. He's the face of your cool tech company. It doesn't work. The young lady sitting across from him explaining it.

Her hand... Everything is off. It is so forced. Her gestures don't go with what she's saying. It doesn't make any sense. I don't know where... I'm going to withhold an opinion on the metaverse until I see if it catches on, and then I'll let you guys know how I feel about it. But I don't know, man.

All I can think of is the sweet baby Ray is that – I'm assuming they sent him after his infamous meat-smoking video that is now being used as a – what is it, like on his bookshelf? A bookend, I guess. Cynical meme wants to think that somehow Zuckerberg also owns Sweet Baby Ray's, and it's just like a circular thing there, which, whatever. Rich get richer. It's a good bit. If nothing else, it makes him seem like he's okay taking a joke about himself.

If nothing else. If he was real, he would have chugged it if he was a lot of sugar but zuck if you want to win us back chug the baby rays um one thing i haven't seen commented enough or tied to enough is i mean google just did something similar not too long ago like alphabet is essentially the company that owns google that's going to be what you would think of with meta now. Facebook's going to exist by name. Wouldn't that just be like a company restructure tactic? Right, and that's why they did it.

They didn't so much do it for all these other things, although internationally they were going through a lot of the right to be deleted arguments, right to have your info scrubbed from Google. Cancel culture. Cancel culture. Cancel yourself online. They may have had some rebranding interests culture cancel yourself online um they may have had some rebranding interests there too but either way alphabet is there similar to meta now for facebook i too will reserve my judgment on the metaverse um simply because there was a pretty dope

documentary on netflix i don't know probably, six years ago. It's called Second Life. Based on a video game. It's very Sims-ish that people essentially, you know, there are many of these games out there. This was a player in The Office. There was an episode where Dwight. Yes. You've seen The Office? I have.

Dude, it's hilarious. Jim and Dwight just can't, like, leave each other alone. Yeah. Yeah. It's hilarious. Jim and Dwight just can't like leave each other alone. Yeah. Yeah.

Or that whole mentality or not mentality, but there's a huge audience who would be very happy to go live a Sims life situation. If like the accessibility and everything was done really, really well. So I can see that being successful. I would advise that if that's my all in from Zuckerberg and people already say you look robotic, like, wouldn't it be a dope ass all in moved by him for like the last six months and the next, like however long we don't see him in person.

He only appears in avatar form. Wow. Like all of his. He transcends. Like TEDx type talks or whatever at Facebook verse. I don't know what the hell they do, but these types of things, we only see his avatar. Do you know anybody who's, how do I say this without being crass? It's my understanding that most people who are doing VR right now are doing it for purposes of cranking. That's how I understand it it what are people doing now what are people doing now that's not crank related is this on the record or after record off the record we're recording baby we're north of an hour are we live um non-crank related vr experiences yes metaverse and VR, I don't think, I guess they can go together. You can put on a headset and like probably be fully immersed.

The VR aspect is just like being visually immersed in it. So I'm sure that's how like Oculus ties in, but you can probably sit here on a desktop and like direct around your character too, like any other computer game, like Call of Duty, you feel pretty immersed and that's not a VR headset. So there are some non-crankable ways to use VR. I haven't found many of them. That headset stays in a different room.

Okay. Dylan, what do you think about that? I have no freaking idea, man. We can talk Google Cardboard after this. I'll get you set up on the VR world. I just think they need a new front, man. Leave Zuck. Start that man. Leave Zuck. Start that hashtag.

Fire Zuck. Do like Christopher Walken or somebody. Like someone cool. You know what you haven't said in a while? You haven't said something very biting in like a very, very aggressive way in a while. You know what I'm getting at here? He sucks. Can you give it to us one time for the folks at home?

Sure. Are you familiar with the rapper Fetty Wap? Unfortunately.

Well, I mean, you potentially could do a workout with as much weight as he was pushing, Dylan. We're talking dope. Yeah, he got popped this weekend at Citi Field, of all places. Oh, no. It's tough. Meet the Mets. Step right up and go to jail. Investigators recovered $1.5 million in cash.

Million. Whoa. 16 kilograms of cocaine. 16 kilos. cash million whoa 16 kilograms of cocaine 16 kilos two kilos of heroin five weapons and ammunition as well as fentanyl uh i'm glad this is off the streets because fentanyl's really fucked up and really fucking people's lives up so uh fetty's gonna be gone for a while we got both Michael Jackson and Sam Ellinger's brother. Yeah, that's almost true.

Tom Petty? Possibly. Prince? Most likely. Jimmy Hayes? That shit is really fucked up. It is scary. It is scary.

So all y'all out there doing drugs, be careful. Yeah, you guys supporting Fetty Wap, me on the right side of history. Let me just say this. Put the word out there that we are not back up. We're down. We're down. Like for the foreseeable future. Yeah, Fetty is down.

We're going to have to rebrand. Minimum of 10 years in jail, maximum of life. Okay, okay. Grief, man. So Fetty's going to be doing some time. He was at Citi Field? Yeah. A festival that was going on.

It was rolling loud. He was like. Was he performing or he was just there doing delivery? Yeah. A festival that was going on. It was rolling loud. He was like... Was he performing or he was just there doing delivery? That's a good question. He had all that cash on him? A duffel bag? How does he not have a bag man? What the hell?

I know he's not the biggest name right now, but... And not like I'm an expert here, but wouldn't you want to keep all that not in the New York state line? That's about the worst place to have it. Wouldn't you want that waiting in Jersey or some state that just absolutely has no laws? Yeah. You would think New Jersey would be a good, as noted, organized crime state. Good grief, man.

Anyway. Well, later, Feddy. In lighter news, the McRib's back. Okay. That must mean that the McRib's back. Okay. That must mean that pork prices have dropped below a certain threshold to make it a viable menu item. Ooh, put the word out there that we're back up. Dave, as a noted sandwich mason, are you aware that Wednesday is National Sandwich Day? Yeah, no, I was.

I celebrate every year with my family. He's going to enjoy a sandwich on Wednesday. I'm actually taking the day. How else is the day off? A sandwich for every meal. How else are you going to prepare for JFK anniversary than with a sandwich? There's no better way to celebrate the time that a lone gunman named Lee Harvey Oswald definitely acted alone, you know, despite a lot of evidence to the contrary. There's, you know, there's just no better way than just eating a lot of sandwiches.

I think the stolen joke is that's the day that Dallas got it or that JFK got it through his head that Dallas didn't want him there. Because he was shot in the head is the joke here. I wonder, Ravel might have more evidence. Zapruder, Zapruder. Zapruder? Phil. Mm-hmm. I think you nailed it. Mm-hmm.

It's close enough. Check Ravel's timeline. He might have something. Anyway, McRib's bad for a limited time. How much? To celebrate the 40th anniversary, they're selling McRib NFTs. Well, there you go. Have you ever had McRib?

No. Never. I haven't had McDonald's in probably 20 years. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. Really? Wow. You mean the boneless combinations?

You're trying to get up in that rib. It's pretty good. McRib. Seasoned boneless pork, tangy barbecue sauce, onions and pickles, and a hoagie-style bone. First launched regionally in Kansas City, Kansas in 1981. You don't buy it expecting fine dining experience. Yeah, because you're at McDonald's. It's a McDonald's sandwich, so take it from where it is.

Okay, okay. Ready? I'm working the drive-thru. Welcome to McDonald's. Will you be using the app today? You're Christopher Walken. I heard from a podcast. You guys will back up.

Yes, sir. Can I take your order? Pork must be at a good price right now. I'm not really privy to that. I just work here. It's my second day on the job. I would like to make rib, please. Can I get you anything else?

Also, I'm an actor. Oh, okay. That doesn't really help. And a Sprite. Please pull forward to the second window. Also, a Sprite, please. Benicio Del Toro walk-in. Have you noticed that people aren't doing two windows anymore at fast food?

It's a real waste of resources yeah it's the most upsetting item or part of a fast food experience short of like the third lane at a chick-fil-a please pull through the second window i don't need this the first window is now just it's it's packed with like the stackable come on what's going on with the window i've got my money ready I tried to give it to that guy. You pull up. You make eye contact with somebody through that first window, and they just kind of show you. Oh, next one.

Okay. Okay, I'll just go fuck myself. Hey, man, I'll pull up. How about that? I'm cool. I'm cool. I know you're on break. I'm cool.

The person working the window takes your money, and they give you the food. That's the thing about it. Yeah. Business. It's crazy. Randy, could you help me out with this third topic? Oh, no. This fucking guy.

This is the liver king doing. Whoa. Does he work out? Did he just get married? No, he's a lacrosse guy, right? He's been married. No, that's not true. This is not shit-o.

The liver king has made quite an impact on social media over the last two days. All he does is eat raw meat. Okay. What? And live by nine ancestral tenants. Dylan, are you ready for these tenants? Ooh, I'm very ready. Whatever he's doing is working because holy shit.

Well, one is cycle on the clear with the tramadol. Yeah, all the roids. Here's the first one, sleep. Big, Blair. You got to sleep. Oh, so this guy sleeps? Here's the first one, sleep. Big, Blair. You gotta sleep. Oh, so this guy sleeps? I'm like, okay, cool. Number two, eat.

Guess who else does? Everybody. Dylan, he eats. Yep. Oh, this guy eats food. Something DJ Khaled does not do. Hold on, I'm gonna write this down. Number three, move.

Okay. So far, Kai is keeping up with his nine tenets. This is good. This is looking good for all of us, actually. Well, let me throw a wrench. Number far, Kai is keeping up with his nine tenets. This is good. This is looking good for all of us, actually. Well, let me throw a wrench in it. Number four, shield. Okay. People don't shit out on what it is.

Like your assets? The show is good. Kid Rock premiere episode. It's important to plan for the future. That's true. Shield, we need to avoid dangers, just like our early ancestors did. This whole thing, ancestral living. I bet this dude's really cool.

I don't get on roller coasters, for example. Who's ancestors? He says, instead of running away from lions, nowadays we need to be running from seed oils, fluoride, excessive Wi-Fi, EMFs, which are electromagnetic fields. Ooh, I agree there. Ghosts. Mercury filings, which I didn't know they followed. This guy went from the most basic necessities

of life to Wi-Fi. Right. To view the list of modern day dangers, go to liverking.com slash shield. Okay, keep going. Why is it liverking? Number five is connect. He eats liver. So he

means when the sun comes out, you need to go out and get the sun. You need to connect. Vitamin D is a very important player to your immune system. He has a fantastic base color to him. He's been in the sun quite a bit. And go barefoot most of the time. That's how you connect with the earth. Barefoot and crazy. He's not in this picture, but he's also wielding a spear.

I don't know if you need to do that, but we'll hear the rest. Number six is fuck. Okay. Which is gym routine. Is it really? No, it's just cold. Oh, okay. Comfort is not good for the organism, Dave.

Been saying it. Our early ancestors were rightly subjected to cold. It's like we were purpose-built for it. When I tried to get everybody in the company to do a triathlon, y'all laughed at me, and here we are. I don't like to be cold, man. We have brown adipose tissue, which is metabolically active for thermoregulation.

Bet you didn't know that one. Fucking idiot. We also have 60,000 miles of vascular line with smooth muscles. I don't believe that. Holding a conversation with this guy has got to be the most insufferable experience of all. He's probably like a cool dude who goes out to the bars

and stuff. He was living the American dream 20 years ago, Dylan. He married the love of his life. He owned four to five businesses. Not clear the exact number. Energy drink. And then he had two beautiful boys who started eating regular things like kids do, and they got allergic to them.

They survived? Yeah, they survived. Okay, good. They cut them off from the lifestyle, and now they're living ancestral. Oh, God. These poor kids. Oh, no. Number seven them off from the lifestyle, and now they're living ancestral. Oh, God. These poor kids. So. Oh, no. Number seven.

I'm not going to go there. Sun. Where were you? No, it's not necessary. Violent femmes? Early ancestors didn't brush, didn't floss, didn't get cavities. Nobody knows that. He doesn't brush his teeth?

At the heart of this tenet is midday sun exposure because it produces vitamin D, which works synergistically. I don't think that's a word. With the other fat-soluble vitamins A and K. Okay. Duh, Dylan. I keep my AK on me. He goes out in the sun in the middle of the day with no sunscreen. You don't.

You're right. I don't have an AK. Number eight is fight. He fights? Oh, jeez. Well, he just goes and picks fights with people? Yeah, dude. I don't have an AK. Number eight is fight. He fights? Oh, jeez. Well, he just goes and picks fights with people? Yeah, dude. I watched one of his workout videos.

He, in order to have a meal, he has to do a workout before it because he calls it a simulated hunt. So he does like the actions. We just talked about that. The VR. I'm kind of on board with that, actually. I'm kind of into that one he does like he does like the this he simulates like the stalking the running the the moment of impact and the and the carcass carry he calls it after never carried a carcass i just do farmer's walks now this guy sucks deer run across the

highway on the way down today i thought about that i was like what would i do could i bring this in it's raw meat we clean we bring it we clean somebody would have, one of the people that would pass by you would have a processing situation in the back. You'd be like, oh, I got you. I got you. What's his ninth tenant? Bond. Ooh.

That's the one he struggled with. As in James? No, no, no. I think he's talking about securing your financial future. I want to see that new one. He says, simply by putting the phones away and spending the time with loved ones and friends. Okay, let's go ahead.

Put your phones away, guys. Hey, new rule. We all go to dinner. Let's all put our phones away. Just vibes. Yeah. Now, here's the kicker. Shut up.

The rotating carousel on his slickly designed website that surely... It's a good website. ...he put thousands of dollars, if not hours, into. There's a part of the carousel that says, Liver King's supplement's coming soon. Let's go. I'm in. So he's still got to make a living, too, right?

He's the king. He's the king. That's Liver King. I'm going to keep up on this guy. I'm going to hit him with a follow. I hate this guy. Brian Johnson, CEO of the Ancestral Lifestyle. Brian Johnson.

Nine tenants, one mission, Dave. Shout out BJ. He's been very selective with which ancestors he's referring to. What does that mean? I just feel like it's, you know. You're just saying. He's replacing Wi-Fi. Simulated. He's like, hey, we're no You're just saying. He's replacing Wi-Fi. Simulated hunt.

He's like, hey, we're no longer running from slave catchers. It's just avoid the Wi-Fi and fluoride. Yeah. Let's just get to a fist fight before every time we have lunch together. Simulated hunt. Yeah. That's what you got to do. You got to rebrand that.

Some days are moderate simulated hunts, and some days are you taking down the big boys. Gosh. Well, very cool. Thank you, Brett. Brett, that was great breaking news. That was good. Thank you, KJ, for? Gosh. Well, very cool. Thank you, Brett. Brett, that was great breaking news. That was good. Thank you, KJ, for hopping in. We'll be back tomorrow with –
