to you? No. What's going on, man? What happened? Oh, shut up. Nothing. I was just commenting
that KJ didn't have audio. No, I'm saying that this is two, two shows in a row where I get the last
intro. You always gave me the first one, and then now, now, now, whatever, chop liver? No.
I'm last place to you now? What did I do? When I, when we decided to do. We decided to do the
this show live. We made a promise to the fans. We made a promise to him. And it was, hey, you never know
what you're going to get. This is going to be crazy. This shows a grab bag. Dave doesn't
fail to deliver on a promise. All right. He said, what he said is accurate. I'm sorry. I believe
in tradition and values. And we've been introducing Dylan last for years, even before I was here.
And then, I'm last place now. You know what? I'm cutting the show. Sorry, no more life.
Oh.
No, don't cut it.
You're going to cut your mic, dude?
No, don't cut your mic.
I'm going to cut my mic.
Okay.
No, keep it on.
Well, I'm sorry, Randy.
I know you, I hope this doesn't change the dynamic of our relationship on the show.
They won't.
I do hope it changes our dynamic off the show.
I'm just going to start giving you cold shoulders.
Yeah.
It's like, you know, okay, yeah, sure, Dave.
Yeah.
It's Thursday.
You know what that means.
We're talking some ball.
heavy ball it's our last show of the week unless you're a patron and then you get listener
voicemails which drop tomorrow uh that one you had dylan and i randall uh as well it was very
good we had a great time yesterday recording that we had a killer time what was your favorite
call those have been strong man they've been really strong um probably the guy who um wishes for me
to stay alive yeah he gave me tips on staying alive and i really appreciate that yeah it was really
one tip i might i might take its advice you'll have to tune in and find out what that tip exactly is
yeah um additionally spooky season starts week after next oh my god i didn't fucking you know what
just pop over to that inbox real quick oh yeah popping spooky at washmedia dot com is starting to pop
damn it's gonna be a good spooky season damn yeah i love that shit people are starting to send me memes and
Reels. Randy, you sent me one earlier.
It wasn't good, but you sent it.
It was a spooky season reel, but I am excited.
We even did a little spooky season, a little pre-promo kind of on circling back and touching base.
Get people in the mood, get excited.
Yeah, but that's already behind the paywall.
Yeah.
But you still go and, you know, subscribe.
Yeah.
I mean, what you said is true factually.
Yeah.
We're all wearing cream colored shirts.
Who cares, dude?
Who cares?
The PMT, they got the cream team.
They're already doing the cream teams.
We can't call ourselves the cream team.
They have a cream team?
Yeah.
I think it's for like an ad deal.
We look very similar today.
We do.
We're riding a little bit of different way with the rag and bone.
You guys look like Mario Luigi if they both had the fire flower.
It's pretty good.
I'm unfamiliar with the fire flower.
Oh, that one?
Yeah.
Oh, because you turn orange.
Yeah, because you like your clothes turn white, but you still have like, you have green on and he has red on.
So you guys look very much.
I thought you turn orange.
Yahoo.
Am I high?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're correct, though.
You do get this weird, random orange tent with red hair.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's fine.
That's a good observation.
Is that your owner?
Is that from the chat?
No, I just, you know, it's my own.
Guess what tomorrow is Friday?
That means that washed weekly will be in your inbox.
Wash.com.
Subscribe.
It's good.
do you know what you're writing about yet yeah okay okay j what do you want to write about oh i've got
all the anecdotes how about this you've heard of this one school drop off line so many heaters
from school drop off line let me tell you something just keep an eye out school drop off line serious i don't
even uh i don't even get to experience it because uh our drop off is uh in a cul-de-sac behind the
school or like it's like a secret cool drop off to where the kids meet up like his squad meets up
and they walk through a trail so it's like not the not your traditional drop off parks is this school
doesn't have a drop off line it's just total chaos at the intersection in front of his school it's
total chaos how's how many cars out from the intersection have you let him out like what's the
reasonable amount if we're see the school go ahead if we're running a bit behind I'll just tell
him to just pop just get out there and walk and he'll he'll he'll pass by like 30 cars on the way
to the sidewalk to the front of the school it's like when you pull up to the airport and you're
a little late and you just tell the uber just drop me off back here i want to deal with all that
making it worse is that this neighborhood is fairly old so the streets are super narrow so cars are
having to like it's like one you have to like wait for a car to pass through it's a total it's a
disaster really yeah is there any uh anyone in uh particular that doesn't handle that as well
that you want to name or
what do you mean i don't know it just seems like some people it's interesting like larger vehicles
you know like the big bodies suburban yeah is your f350 kind of hard to get through there
those those big wagon those new wagon air those big dogs yeah yeah it's a problem
you have to pull to the side and let a car pass and because cars park along the street too it's it
sucks dude that's not cool that's surprising yeah yeah well
We manage, man.
Somehow we manage, guys.
We get through it.
Well, you're just going to start sending the homie in a Waymo,
just say, all right, just take the Waymo to school.
That'd be so sick.
He thinks he's too young to write a Waymo by himself.
We'll talk more about Dylan's son here in a minute.
Yeah, it'll be a fun segment, I think.
It's also Thursday, and Randy, this actually isn't on you,
but can you message Brett for a small biz September for the end of the show?
Yes.
Fantastic.
I text him right now.
We love our small biz.
Because you can also go to washmedia.shop, get you some merch.
Got a lot of good stuff on there.
Where do you want to begin today?
We've got like a big rundown.
We don't have to do everything.
Let's just check in with KJ real quick.
What's going on?
KJ's here.
Fellas, as you know, I live here in Wisconsin.
I'm not sure if you're aware.
And I don't want to cuck a later segment.
But the people around here are aware that I'm from Texas.
And they assume outright that I am an absolute devoted cowboys fan.
And so regularly over the past two to three weeks, I get Micah Parsons-related information sent to me via the neighborhood lads.
And very soon, I'm sure that it will be an insufferable weekend.
So that's really what's on the horizon up here.
I'm also two weeks out from the wife doing a 10-day stint in London.
And so solo dad, October is near.
Oh.
Oh, yeah.
Has being around all the Packers fans, is it kind of,
are you kind of secretly pulling for the Cowboys?
Um,
I just want everybody to have fun.
It's the thing.
We won't.
It's not going to be fun.
If they could sign Zeke and Zeke could rush for six touchdowns or sign does.
It's not happening to do.
Let deads throw up.
TX, then I'd be back in.
Maybe even let Terrence Williams get in, a little burn.
No CD, like, I've already, I don't want to cannibalize that.
Am I rooting for the Cowboys now?
Josh Jacobs is easy to root for.
I can't root for the Packers as an organization or as a team, but I like Josh Jacobs
and him having success.
How about that?
Okay.
That's fine.
Yeah, it's, look, it's, it's,
I'm fully expecting about 60-40 Packer fan,
Cowboy fan on Sunday night.
It's going to be one of those.
And it's going to be one of those games
where I think it's going to be so bad, it's funny.
Like, all you can do is laugh.
And, like, there's going to be, like, an LOL tweet.
I'll do that from time to time.
When things are going so bad,
I'll hit you with an LMAO, just no context.
Does underdog have an overrunner on Parsons sex in this game?
Because I might want to get in on that action, David.
That is a fair.
I guess one and a half is what they're going to set it at.
That's my guess.
but I'll check it.
About right.
That's a very good question.
We'll find out.
Yeah, we'll talk underdog later, actually.
I don't even want to know.
About that.
God bless.
I also want to talk about our friends at Rag and Bone real quick.
So we didn't plan this.
We kind of did.
We did.
We're wearing our rag and bone jeans today.
I'm just going to stand up while you talk.
You can do whatever you want, dude.
Bright would be happy.
Look at that.
Dylan, what are you hitting us with right?
now.
These are the ragged bone.
Ragged bone.
Athletic fit jeans.
I am quite athletic.
As he is quite athletic, he says, off mic.
I forgot what the color is called, but they look
like they're broken in right away.
Like when you put them on, they felt like that.
Is that accurate?
They're mad, comfy.
Yeah.
You're moving good in them.
I'm wearing mine, too, but mine are different.
Mine, actually, it took me a minute.
Oh, the straight jeans, the infused sapia indigo.
I'm wearing those right now.
You know, they're very comfy.
Rag and Bone makes a great gene.
We know that.
They use a meticulous eight-step process to create rich multidimensional washes from indigo and black washes for work or evening wear to lighter vintage-inspired blues for casual weekends.
They're your go-to denim for every occasion.
This is my first foray into Ragginbone's product line in, oh, my God.
The jacket, right?
When I hit you with that jacket, it's just over.
Yeah, it is.
And you know why?
Because they've spent 20 years obsessed with making jeans and jackets.
They get better over time.
I understand that.
You're just waiting for it to get cold down here
so you can put that jacket back on, huh?
Dude, come on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Their quality.
And this isn't my first pair of rag and bone jeans.
I've got the lighter wash
that I got like a decade ago.
That's still on the rotation.

And when they say, hey, where'd you hear about us, Haas?
Say, I was Circling Back podcast.
The boys over at Circling Back.
Yeah, the boys.
They were both wearing theirs on the ad read, and they look freaking dope.
You know what?
It looks sexy.
They look handsome.
They look scrumptious.
They look scrumdile-y-umptious.
Even scrumdittily-umptious.
Like straight up, if Dave's at the club, like your girl is not safe.
I won't make the first move
She will
Yeah, that's what I'm saying
But if she keeps eyeing me

Oh man
Let's just
The A&M haze
story. I don't know how much you saw
about it. There's really not much
to it other than like
Kappa Sig's being accused of
like they weren't, they were doing the kind of hazing
where like they make them do
like cardio and like athletic
stuff until like the guys
like have blood in their piss and stuff
and have to go to the hospital. Here's a new one for me
and that's not good.
It says reports say that some
were pushed to the point
where they could not walk. Others saw
their urine turned black
a sign of threatening muscle breakdown.
Even worse, victims claimed that they were told
to lie to doctors and spread out across hospitals
so the truth would not come out.
Trying to cover their tracks a bit.
KJ, you've performed at a high level
in the athletic world.
Do you ever have darker colored pee-p?
Sorry.
I'm blown away by the concept of just like going to report of me.
I'm like, yeah, my piss was black.
Like, I don't think they got that off of the EMR chart.
Like they didn't see the official medical records.
It was just, you know, some Chad that was out there.
Yeah, man, I was just running.
My piss was black as hell.
I'm like, okay, if they were being legitimate, I'm like, okay, that's excessive.
That's on the backside of the bad teammate chart that you never see.
oh yeah it's below it's below red it's below maroon below purple you turn it over and it's like
get the fuck out here so go to the hospital tom herman like wasn't even allowed legal didn't let him
put that on the chart like that couldn't like if that's that's not allowed to be on there as an
option because once that happens it's it's bad news yeah i i just i hope for like legitimately
the old man in me is like man i hope they're all right but when you remind me again
We're talking about some A&M Kappa Sigs.
I'm like, they'll be fucking okay.
Like, they're going to be holding their nuts at midnight yell in a couple, you know,
hours or whatever, and they'll get over this.
Which one of you'll talk to the reporter?
Did you guys are so fucked?
You're fucking dead.
You didn't lie to the doctor?
You didn't lie to the surgeon?
I told you to go to the...
I told you to go to the process general.
Yeah.
Yeah, we told you to go to the doctor's hospital, you dumb ass.
spread out amongst hospitals like what fucking yeah you can't sorry i'm cussing you can't send eight
eight guys from one pledge class to the emergency room at the same time that's going to look pretty bad
i get it we just worked out really hard sorry bro one in one out i don't like uh that's it i don't like
when when fraternities i don't you know i don't like hazing in general but i really don't like
when they make them do like hard like calisthenics or cardio make them run like stuff that's
going to actually like tire them out and like eventually make them pee black yeah just the the mental
warfare was what got me yeah you should do that that's the more the most effective stuff see in this look
if we're going to talk fraternity stuff in the news i don't mean to make this a a texas texas a nm thing
but we got u t over here like faking a lottery win that's fun that's hilarious and everybody's
like that is that's some funny hazing and then you got this from texas an m it's like what do you
you doing well who's still doing that shit dude it still goes on obviously come on acts of
inconvenience is where hazing should exist like it should just be always you don't make
somebody pay for stuff you don't you know physically abuse them but something that's wildly
inconvenient and like wildly maybe uncomfortable to a certain degree not physically
maybe mental like you're saying like I'm all for that I'll tell you the the part of my
pledged ship where I was nearest to my breaking point so we get we'd get five interviews every
week you'd interview an active just ask them about themselves obviously and in order to get
an interview they made you do certain things like clean their apartment bring you food
go sign them in on a class whatever it might be and they're hard to get like they're hard
to track these guys down so I finally got I got my five this one week brought them in
And then I, you know, I presented, I presented the interviews.
They're all written in a book.
My pledge trainer rips them out, tears them up, says, you got to get 10 next week.
I was like, dude.
I'm not a fucking kidding.
There is such a pain.
I think I got three the next week.
It was just, it was terrible.
I think I served as the, whatever, the person being interviewed for my roommate several times where he would be interviewed by one of his pledges and be like, go ask KJ to be able to interviews.
Like, you do okay that.
bobby's voice uh and i'd be like hey man i just either got out of practice or off work i don't have time
for this shit and i'd leave to go do whatever and i come back in my room would be like cleaned up and
you're like can you keep them out of here i don't i don't need like some random 18 year old from
you know potusky or whatever fucking with my jiz racks like leave my shit alone
is that was in yeah no one needs that no one needs that um
Hey, can we talk Sabrina Carpenter real quick?
Yeah, what's she up to?
Randy, we pull up that quote.
This is going, now this is going viral.
She had a quote that people were having fun with.
She was recently in Italy.
Why don't you zoom in on that house if you can?
It says, Sabrina Carpenter on her love of travel and new perspective.
You learn more about life in a 20-minute conversation with someone from Italy than in 20 years in the U.S.
Dylan, you've been to Italy.
Is that your take as well?
I don't think I'd talk to any locals for more than just like me ordering pizza or wine from them.
So I don't have enough here to say she's wrong.
So no.
So no.
What could you get your five interviews in Italy?
What did this person share with her?
That'd be a funny bit.
Yeah.
You find out one of your pledges is going to study abroad.
You make them get five interviews with locals out in Naples.
What could she possibly have been talking about?
I don't know.
I mean, Italy is certified dope.
I love that.
It is dope.
But, like, I mean, all I can really tell you is, like,
and like, the only thing I can believe is that she was talking to, like,
some old guys about skyscrapers.
Or, like, it's like, the only thing I know if they talk about in Italy,
It's either like chicks walking by and they're just all grabbing their nuts, like, oh, or it's like old guys looking at skyscrapers, their hands behind their back.
Or they're going, they're making love at a gas pump.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe that's what she learned.
I also, I think about my semi-buddy from high school who went to Italy and fell in love with a 65-year-old woman and married her when he was like 28.
You had a friend that was a semi-truck?
No, it was his semi-buddy.
So they would get semis together.
Oh, okay.
bonded over. No, we were more, we were more, we were more acquaintance than friend. He was a year
older than me, but yeah, he married someone. Optimus Prime. About 40, almost 40 years older than
him. Okay. And today, still together? I don't know. You're going to ask the question. You're
thinking it. I don't know. I'm not going to say like how interested would I be, but I'm, you know,
honestly curious if, if, uh, I don't know, where things are today, uh, without that turned out. Can you scroll down
real quick, Randy, sorry.
I was just making sure there's no other parts of the quote.
Okay.
Yeah.
She's looking hella cute in these photos.
And ha, cha,
cha,
yeah,
David,
let me tell you.
I can't believe she found someone to talk to her for 20 minutes in Italy.
I'm shocked.
You know who she kind of looks like in this photo right here?
Who, Randy?
This is just because it's front of my mind right now.
Kind of looks like Batty Dave.
A little bit.
I thought like we established the beginning of the show that we weren't going to do this anymore.
We're not going to talk about you.
Yeah,
I thought you were mad at me.
I'm not, I'm not, I'm mad at you.
I'm mad at male Dave, but female Dave.
My goodness.
Don't do this, Tim.
Don't ruin this, mom.
The joke that everyone's making is, oh, she's like every girl who goes and studies abroad in college comes back.
Like, hmm.
I'm just a little different now.
The food, I ate, I ate so much and I gained no weight.
I actually lost weight.
I really immersed myself in the Italian culture, and I'm just not the same anymore.
There's this sandwich shop in Florence.
That's actually a Ferreinze.
And it's so good.
And the pesto, put the pesto on it and ask for extra.
They'll give it to you.
The wine there, you don't even get hung over from it.
Zero.
Yeah.
And I was drinking so much wine.
Oh, my God.
Every meal, actually.
I didn't say no to a glass of wine.
I woke up and, like, brush my teeth with wine.
Don't do that.
So do you even drink espresso in the States anymore?
I don't.
Was that a play on her song?
No.
Okay.
Thank you. No, no, yeah. There you go.
Yes, it was. Yes, it was.
Okay. Jay's cool.
There you go. The tunes that the kids are singing.
Kids bought 50.
No, but in all seriousness, the first thought that I had with this after unclicking and zooming out from the photos was it was giving a lot of Brooks Kepka.
And as I don't eat steak in the States anymore or Wagyu or whatever.
Like, I only eat it from that Chateau-Bri-on was getting that.
Correct.
If you've never had it, that is, uh, that's what I, I took away from this.
Was that same vibe?
No, I'm, I'm going to, I'm going to come to my girl's defense here.
It is interesting going to see like a different culture and all stuff.
Like, when I went to Japan, I was like, man, this is, they live very differently than
Americans.
And it's, it's, it's interesting, something you just don't think about until you go to a
different place.
Dang, it'd be like that sometimes.
It'd be like that.
Let's send Randy to Mississippi for like, um, Mississippi, let's send him to the Egg Bowl or something.
But he's got to go get five.
interviews. I feel like he'd come away just as like eyes wide cultured if he made that trip as he
did to Japan for sure. Who's she talking to here? That's my question. Who's on the other side of the
camera? Like what? Yeah, it's like Hollywood. I think that's more of her problem. She sounds like,
I mean, because sounds like she's just talking to really boring people here. Not that everybody has
something to say, but like, golly, I guess it's lonely at the top.
you just have yes men and your your friends and everybody switches up on you and nobody wants
it like nothing interesting is said once you're like at the top of pop stardom yes this is true
she's like a disney kid so she's been like famous and she was i don't know like seven or eight
something like that yeah she's a disney kid she was a disney channel kid
Mickey Mouse Club I don't know I don't know what show she was this was after my time
but very much you know like Hannah Montana type Cyrus situation if you would have gone
Lizzie McGuire is going to be a step too far.
We don't bring the duff into this.
I won't bring the duff into this.
Don't bring the duff into this.
Hey, speaking of which,
we haven't got to talk to you since she released that she's going to be coming up on new music.
Are you excited, KJ?
Did you release anything?
Any music?
I don't know if I've set it on too much dip,
but no cap for millennial speak.
Come Clean was on my pregame, like, playlist from like high school.
into college or whatever.
I'm all in on musical Hillary Duff.
Haley had fucking pipes too, by the way.
So, you know, I'm good for that too.
What's the deal?
They don't speak.
They're not friendly?
I thought they were close,
but maybe they had a falling out
over the last couple years.
I was honestly typing in Haley to see how she was doing
because I hadn't seen her pop up in the feed recently.
So it must have been something during the pandemic.
Yeah, I think she's doing pretty good.
Is she?
I imagine so.
I think she's fine.
Hey, that's very interesting, and we'll talk more about it.

Well, we got a good slate
this weekend.
Good slate of football games.
Good slate.
It kicks off tomorrow, really.
KJ.
I know you're just champing
at the bit to talk,
ASU TCU.
You got to see that TCU team up close last weekend as they went home with the final skillet.
How does that make you feel?
You know what?
Being here on a by week for the fighting SMU Mustangs after a loss to TCU.
It took a lot of courage on my part.
So I'm not going to bag you guys like I did last week.
Sorry, I don't remember what Greg Olson said on that interview.
TCU's got weapons.
I don't think they're that good of a team.
We, SMU, got exposed.
We can't tackle on the edges on defense.
We had no linebacker play in the last few weeks.
So it is what it is.
But going to the AASU game, I think there's potential for TCU to get humbled really quick.
I don't think TCU is going to creep up and make it a TCU, Texas Tech.
Big 12 conversation.
So give me ASU.
Yeah, I think I had the displeasure of having to, having my team, my two teams,
my Texas State Bobcats and then my wife, Spaler Bears, face ASU back to back weeks.
So I've gotten well acquainted with Sam Levitt and that outfit out there.
And it was kind of crazy how they were written off after the Mississippi State loss on the road,
I think everybody is coming to find out, like, they realize pretty quick, like, now.
It's like, that's not a horrible loss.
But that's going to be a great game.
I, again, I, the only, I've only watched TCU and that was against UNC, week one.
And that was like, okay, is TCU just better than expected or is this UNC just, are they that bad?
Like, what's going on?
And, again, I really don't know much.
I know their quarterback play has been better than expected.
I mean, face of the program, Kendall Bryles often criticized out in Fort Worth, but he is, I mean, when you think of TCU football, you definitely think of Kendall Bryles now in that offense.
So all that to say, I do think this is going to be a great game.
I don't know how I feel about Friday night football.
If you'd ask me like before kids, I would have hated it as a guy who has two kids now and doesn't really go out on Friday nights, kind of love it.
Because I'm going to be sitting at home and it's better than like rewatching casino.
No, I mean, nothing wrong with casino, one of the greats, but like, you know what I'm saying.
It's nice to have an option.
No, I feel you.
TCU ASU will be a banger.
And I am very excited to see what Sam Levitt can do against TCU's defense.
Because Sam Levitt's just, that guy has all the respect in the world for me.
He's a, he's a ball player.
He is a, I have moved him from Gamer into Gamer Plus.
We have, moving on to Saturday.
You don't got any takes on Arizona.
state TCU.
Yeah.
No.
All right.
Fine.
Move on.
God.
SEC coded over here.
You said,
we said enough.
I agree.
We got some top 25 matchups.
Go.
All right.
We got,
you got USC at Illinois.
That does anything for you.
It doesn't do much for me.
USC is interesting.
And Illinois got their dicks kicked in last week.
So it'll be interesting to see if they bounce back.
Ooh,
six Oregon at three Penn State.
That's the game.
That's a big one.
It's big multi-view Saturday.
Nighttime, whiteout.
At Penn State.
You like Penn State, don't you, KJ?
Fuck them.
We got Bama at Georgia.
Randy's actually having his own whiteout at his place.
Jesus.
What's that supposed to mean?
Could go a number of ways.
Yeah, I'm going to listen to Come Clean.
There you go.
Mention we got Bama at Georgia.
We've got LSU at Ole Miss.
Those are two good games.
Oh, Brad's going to be locked in for that.
He's already been talking about it all freaking week.
We got the Landry-Kiffin side story there.
Oh, yeah.
Awesome, dude. I'll be at T-ball practice.
Can we take a quick aside there?
I don't know if y'all saw the post from her vlog as a reaction to her vlog.
So New Orleans or Baton Rouge maybe is about five hours away.
Yeah, Baton Rouge is about five hours away from Oxford, Mississippi.
And as you'll probably discuss, Lane Kiffin's daughters dating the starting
linebacker weeks for LSU.
and she posted a vlog pulling a move that I'd need to get your opinion on.
That was titled, Surprising, or waking up my boyfriend who lives five hours away.
But I assume, like, he was not aware that she was coming.
I don't know.
Either way, she powered through an overnight drive with some energy drinks, got in a car,
went to go, wake up her boyfriend, Mr. Weeks during game week.
So hopefully in that special way, who knows?
Uh, your thoughts on the, uh, the college relationship doing the long distance. Hey, honey,
I'm in town. Um, I never had to do the long distance college. Don't you? I did. No,
you didn't. It wasn't that long, but it was longer. Was it? Uh, yeah, I was dating someone at
Baylor when I was at Texas State. Okay. I thought it was Austin. Yeah. No. Yeah, I did a,
I did a surprise pop in once or twice. Surprise.
I don't have much more on that.
No, no, no, I don't expect you to put all.
I just, I don't know if you were going to be like, yeah, it's terrible decision or all for it.
That's somebody who made that trip from like Texas Tech to TCU.
Oh, it's a terrible decision.
Yeah.
It was definitely the worst decision that I would ever, ever, ever.
If I could run it back, I wouldn't have done that.
I'll tell you that right now.
Yeah.
Thank you.
I just want to make sure I wasn't a lot of thinking like, this was a terrible move.
Wasted some prime years, I think.
there no offense to her she was you know she was great but
anyhow we can carry on just wanted to do you missed out on a ton of fratting
oh i've still got my fratting yeah you've made time for i got my fratting in for sure
that's sorry i was too busy pissing in a gatorie bottle heading to fort worth i was a good boy though
didn't want to pull over i was a real good boy yeah dude you never fratted too hard
no no all burn at at a and m you already throw that one out there uh i did not throw that
that one out there yet.
Ooh.
Auburn at A&M.
Okay.
230.
Of course, we talked about it a little bit, a little bit because the news broke as we
recording, but the Meteer news, OU starting quarterback John Meteer with a thumb injury,
acquired surgery, out three to four is what it's saying, but I think there's some
there's some precedent that it says that he might be back sooner.
So I was reminded of this, listening to the ticket this morning, the Muser's pod, the Muser's show, actually, that this happened to Indiana's quarterback last year.
But we don't know if it's a similar injury because I don't really know.
To my knowledge, OU hasn't been specific as to what it is.
But there was a thumb injury to Indiana's quarterback last year.
Didn't this happen to Jared Gough as well?
This is, yeah, Stafford, Gough.
And he missed, I think, just two weeks.
But yeah, the Indiana quarterback as well was back in two weeks.
which seems crazy.
Maybe they're getting them pep-tied up.
I don't know.
But two weeks from a tier,
that would obviously put them back for the Red River rivalry.
He's got a big game in 16 days against Texas.
You always call it the Red River rivalry.
You insist upon calling it that.
I'm a Red River shootout guy.
It's a tongue twister for me.
I can't say the Triple R.
It's just too much for me.
You can call it Red River Shootout.
Or just Texas OU, depending on your...
They don't want to promote gun.
You know, gun violence.
Yeah, you didn't have to finger pistol me.
I understand what gun.
I got to say they're not, they're not, um, they're not, um, they're not, um, they're not
they're not stopping any gun violence by changing the name.
In fact, they're just making people more upset by making them pronounce rivalry.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a extra R in there, too.
Yeah, you get it.
Showdown should have been the, the immediate pivot.
Um, the only reason shootout I was okay with getting rid of that is like, neither of their
mascots.
I guess the Sooners kind of have their shotgun thing, kind of.
but I feel like that's something that you could have called like the Oklahoma State Texas Tech rivalry
and that would have been appropriate but anyway you like Matt you like stuff that plays in well
with the mascots yeah I need layers I need deeper meaning he's a thinking man's man I like
what Kay J's going with here is Texas at Florida this week I don't know I don't mean to hop around
too much but I'm by week for Texas they have Florida next week
Florida and then oh you and for everyone that was wondering don't worry
Purdue also has a buy week so that third win will get a different time but not this week
I know everyone's waiting for that third win look pretty good last week
yes no competitive I didn't watch they started they started off decent you know
watch Purdue I should I was going to put it on and I forgot do you know where
Notre Dame is this week probably still yeah they're at Arkansas Arkansas
it's just weird
That's a little bit weird.
I'd say that's a fun game.
Arkansas, what's the quarterback?
Taylon Brown.
Tailon Green.
Tayloring.
Who I coming off a loss.
I had my one year of fandom of Arkansas fandom.
I still love all my pigs.
I got love for my pigs out there, y'all.
But I was very, very quick to criticize quarterback play last year.
And to his credit, I did not watch last week, but they have, he has improved, which is what you want to say.
It's typically how it works with a college quarterback.
You see improvement year to year.
year.
Yeah.
Not strong enough for those Memphis tigers, though.
He's real decent.
That's a team on the rise.
That's about it.
That's all I got.
Tennessee and Mississippi State.
Mississippi State's not bad.
Still unranked?
I guess they have a loss.
Did they lose it?
How are they unranked still?
Because nobody respects Blake Shapen.
Or did they lose?
Because that would be embarrassing.
No, they just haven't.
They haven't cracked top 10, top 25 yet.
Therefore.
How are they unranked?
Because they kept Illinois ranked.
ranked is how they're ranked uh that's pretty crazy they are unranked is this like them being
like y'all are going to be the sacrificial cc team so it's not so obnoxious it's probably because
oh you mean uh mississippi state or you're talking about the illinois being ranked this
mississippi state yeah i'm i think it's one of those where if they had a top 30 you'd see their
name i don't know what the others receiving votes looks like right about now but i'm sure that they'll
creep in there so that like you said they'll be the they'll be the stepping stone for other teams just
just to say they did beat a playoff team from last year Arizona State like that's a good victory
who I glaze constantly so yeah TCU did too um sorry just we were there two people uh really quick
with the slate of us SEC games and SEC rolled out their nine game conference schedule for
years.
My only takeaway from that was, holy shit, if you're Missouri next year, take the under on
wins.
Not because every team's just like going to dominate them.
It just seems like a not going to be a fun one for them.
But my question for you, fellas, is which is the secret stinking game here between your
SEC games where you're like, oh, man, it's going to be a heater?
And it's just because it's SEC teams.
like LSU Ole Miss
Auburn A&M
and then obviously
got Bama Georgia
I don't think they qualify
for what I'm getting at here
but I feel like we have this habit
of like I hear the names
I know they're from this this conference
I'm like oh this is going to be a banger
and it's not consistent
every week there's one that's just stinky
I think Auburn A&M is going to be a stinker
because I think Auburn
coming off of a tough loss
and they got that was a tough game
That was a very physical.
That was a physical game, unlike those games that aren't physical.
You think they're going to get thumped by A&M?
I just think it's going to underwhelm.
Yeah.
I don't think they can keep up.
An A&M.
Look, I hope I'm wrong.
Look, I'm still a Jackson Arnold.
I'm not out on Jackson Arnold.
I've not taken him from gamer to gamer plus shit.
Dylan is out on him.
I think you're the only one who's not out on him.
He missed some throws last week.
They should have won that game.
I don't think, I'm not ready to say he's thing.
I pull for the kid, but he stinks.
That's how you know Dylan doesn't like him
because he calls him the kid
and he like pats him on the head
The verbal nuggie
I'm 40, I'm 41 years old
These are kids man
These are all kids
No I'm not a Jackson Arnold believer at all
He did he missed some huge throws in that game
Very very big throws
Yes a big big throws
Anything you got you got stinker watch
Ooh stinker watch
I think Tennessee Mississippi
state might be opposite of stink i think that might be a banger that that's going to be a close
game we do i would hate to be around will if that's like that game yeah you know he gets around
his vols yeah um i i think alabama georgia could be stinker i think georgia is much better
than bama at this point we'll see we'll see if bama like if they have to give hand the keys
over to that keelon russell kid get some off he from uh uh
The dunk.
His Dunkinville kid, it turns out.
Speaking of, potential coming out part,
ball knowers, ball knowers are already aware of Decorion Moore,
freshman wide receiver at Oregon.
Gets to go to Happy Valley.
This could be like a very important game in the trajectory for that team
and that kid, that kid's crew.
He's already, like, balled out, and people are aware of it.
So Oregon, who looks very, very excited.
Looks fantastic, has played Montana State, Oklahoma State.
Northwestern in Oregon State.
So they've looked great, but who have they played?
Who has Penn State played?
Yeah, they're not great.
Penn State's schedule somehow worse.
I don't know how Oklahoma State does that for a team, but Penn State's,
yeah, so we finally, we finally see how legit these teams actually are.
KJ, any words for Gundy?
I don't know if you ever crossed paths with him on the recruiting trail or anything.
No, no, not on the recruiting trail.
They were never really on my radar.
I don't know why.
it just never crossed my mind.
I don't know.
Like Oklahoma seemed at that age or at that stage unattainable.
Like Texas and Oklahoma were like, you're a five-star guy.
Leave it alone, you know.
And I was not a five-star guy.
What about Oakey State though?
But Oklahoma State just was not, they were very competitive.
But like from a recruit standpoint, it just wasn't, they didn't come knocking and
then I didn't go asking.
Where they came to play for me, my quick story would be.
I had an offer from New Mexico
and the coach there's name was Carlos Looper.
You can look him up.
He's probably somewhere with a running back
that was going to run for 1,000 yards.
After my commitment to Colorado fell through,
I called back New Mexico being like,
hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Is that still valid?
And come to find out, calls won't return
because Carlos Looper had taken a job
to go back to Oklahoma State.
He was the third string running back in the 80s
behind Thurman Thomas and Barry Sanders.
And then this guy, so he went back to be their running backs coach.
I'd go on to go to Texas Tech, and they would go on to rush for like 360 yards the year that Texas Tech probably could have cracked the top 5, 0506, and then got embarrassed by Zach Robinson and Cruz.
So, yeah, that's my Oklahoma State story, so that they kind of fucked me over last stage by higher-end Carlos Looper.
Is it Curtis Looper?
Curtis Looper, yes, it's Curtis Looper.
he's got fucking way too cool looking glasses on a bet so this is this is you were right dude
running backs coach missouri bang there you go like the dude's got every like place he's been
he's got a running scheme and he's never been like a coordinator considered a coach or anything
like that but everywhere he goes he puts up numbers it's crazy okay good to know um anything else
were missing ball wise i don't think so we covered all the big ones it's fun talking ball i'll be
watching ball in my jeans in my boots though oh my ticova's boots damn dude oh yeah you got
point them west hoss my my you know that's from my tv faces east so i can watch it
pointed west he did that on purpose you understand you did that on purpose the math is the math
pathing? Yeah. I got my first pair of
Cacobas very recently. Went in the store
there. They took great care of me. And man, what a store
it is. And they're so comfortable. I feel like they're already worn in.
I just wore them right out of the store. And it was like I've owned them for years.
Fantastic pair of boots. High quality. Good looking.
Heritage made cowboy boots crafted in over 200 steps by hand
in Leon, Mexico.
Leon Mexico. And from the first stitch to the final
lemon wood peg tegovas tecovis are made in over 200 steps by hand 200 steps is crazy i would
have i would have been like 50 if i had to guess 200 is just that's attention to detail i'd be inclined
to skip a step or two you know that's why you're not to kovis i know that's why you're not that's why you
yeah but you got those black tecovas that are looking mean yeah clean well football season
kicking in they got the latest colors you might find the perfect boots for game day with over
45 Toccova stores coast to coast.
There's always a friendly place to stop in, say howdy, grab you a Cole and Hoss.
Over here on South Congress, that's my usual drop-in.
I like to just pop in there, smell the leather, check out what's going on.
They got more than boots, by the way.
It's a great spot.
You own some of the slip-ons.
I do.
And I'm a big, big fan.
Much like the boots, you put them on.
They feel like you've owned them for years, completely broken in.

What do you want to go, Dave?
I'd like to take a big sip of water.
Okay.
I would like to continue doing podcast.
No, I want to talk parts.
Okay.
Specifically, your son.
Yes, my son, Park.
who is he's got his first little league baseball game of the season this evening and I'm pretty
excited about it I'm a little extra excited because there is a in the app a little app that we use
for scheduling and chats among parents we have been notified that the kids get walk-up songs
this year hell yeah and they said pick your walk-up song for your kid and since parks is in
school right now and I can't ask him what song he would like. You'd probably pick a bad
song anyway. I probably need to choose for him. But I get to pick a song. And I wanted to talk
that out with you guys. I'm going to go ahead and text him. Okay. In the chat, if you're in the
chat and you have suggestions for Parks Walk Up song, please drop it in so I can review those
later. I want some good ideas. Dave, do you have one? He wants skibbitty toilet by Little Big
Stack. He ain't getting that. Okay. He didn't get it.
that sorry sorry but i'll let him now so we could do i don't know man um i always i always lean
rap walk up songs it's just a little harder lean with it rock with it it's just like oh this guy's
going to mash because he's listening to you know meek mill dreams and nightmares dreams and
nightmares that's a slow build it is but good song though are you going to be the guy who does like
the uh you like hey we're going to do this song but can you actually just can you cut
the part it's like 18 seconds through 24 that's actually the part i want to walk up to not like the
first part the the mother who's in charge of this i think she's bringing like a you know a bt s to the game
oh wow she's got it like you got it like that she says she says pick the song and let me know
where in the song you would like for it to start you're gonna get it's gonna be like a 20 second
clip right yeah so didn't have to start the beginning i know some songs have a very slow build
so we can't start it at any point in any song we want obviously radio
edit version of
some songs
still it's safe sometimes
yeah yeah I think
my Mike boat
I'm going here
starting off hot
gotta go that opening riffs of money
for nothing dire straits
yeah
it's a sick riff
it's one of the best opening riffs ever
uh
Mo Bomba's not a bad one
shout out to T-Man
Narco by Timmy trumpet
in Blaster Jacks
unfamiliar that's the Mets closers oh yeah yeah yeah
I think that's solid okay here's what I would I would say and I may be completely
off you're in the scene more than I am maybe I'm imagining it maybe it was good
marketing but I feel like the Savannah bananas were popping all summer I know you're
not a big fan I get it I get it but I feel like that age group is into that stick
and so a part of that appeal sometimes is like going with like your counter approach like maybe
not trying to be too tough but doing something that's more like plays to the crowd so some
sort of pop like you could probably some you know go into your little monster's catalog and come
out with a banger I feel like you could appeal to the moms the coach's son has chosen DNA by
Kendrick Lamar oh Jesus Christ y'all are going to be an insufferable team
this kids his kids he's funny I like him you know the real the fun the fun
conversation was the the songs that we were contemplating before the show out in the
bullpen yeah you want to share the one that you sent me first it was a three six song
there's another one too no it's not schlob no it's not schlob it's never been swipes and
slob now, bro.
Lakers. Rick Flair drip.
Who's that by?
Is that a
Amigos? I don't know.
Okay.
Bodies by offset and...
I'm not doing Uchi Wally.
Yeah, Uchi Wally's probably not making the cut.
Bodies by drowning pool.
Dute Dute 6.7.
Do a go DMX, go like
Rough Riders Anthem.
I'm playing on the piano for some reason.
Bada.
Bram, bum, bump.
Stop.
Um, drop.
I like what Cormick says, many men.
No, that's too hard.
He's not ready for that.
His dad has observed
like catastrophic near-death experiences
at random Lubies around the state.
So I feel like it could play.
He's a legacy.
Second vote for Dute, dude.
And I don't know, I don't know that one.
It's the same guy.
So it's one vote twice.
It's a six, seven.
Oh, it's the same guy?
Okay.
Oh, it's the six-seven song.
well it's going to sound terrible if that's not a quality speaker yeah i will say that's too hard
like pastor troy would be too hard
huh we ready yeah i feel like you could play we ready or something like that you know
pastor troy you probably go to like a little scappy little scrappy little scrappy's catalog
you can find bangers that just sound great without getting the lyrics into them but again
I feel like then you've got to go back it up
And it's like, all right
And then you get a walk
There's a there's been two teams thus far of three
We've had three opponents in T-ball
That are trying to do walk-up music
And all I can think about is like dude
The last thing this crew needs
Is another distraction
We get so distracted
It's like dude what are you all
They're four
I can just see Rhodes out there
Just fucking hitting a shimmy
Four and five
He like we
Kai would cover his ears
he'd be like this is too loud stop but what are you doing and then he'd try to ride the baseball bat to
like you know like a witch's room all the way up to the t ball stand that's that's all he cares to do
mobba mobama mobama is not a bad a bad suggestion in the chat yeah i feel like that's a safe play
yeah the chicken radio edit please hot dog and baloney absolutely not i'm so over that song come on
chicken wing that was my suggestion out there evan i'm so over that song man shipping off to boston's good
I mean there's some classic ones
like shipping off the Boston
Fort Minor remember the name
Harvard Champion by Nellie
Where's a
Where is Park still in the Pantera?
Yeah
I was supposed to say I had an eruption up to you
Why'd you go walk?
That was my list
This is where I can pretend to know
What song you're talking about
You'll know the riff
Darnan-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Okay yeah
Yeah it's a metal song
About Rob Zami
Dragula
Dude I used to fuck with Rob Zami

no context
yeah
I had a little face
I used to fuck with rom zombie
I did these to fuck with rob
I had what'd you say a quick little phase

You know what I'm talking about?
I do know what you're talking about.
I can't stop this feeling or whatever.
We want the team to do well.
Hooked on a feeling by David Hasselhoff.
Hooked on a feeling.
There we go.
It's not Hasselhoff.
Is that pretty sure it is?
We need the team to like go up there and get some hits.
Bring them out by TI.
That's a, that's a safe ring them out, bring them out.
Is it Hasselhoff?
I'm not doing center field by Fogarty.
I mean, that's a good one.
Grandpa,
put me in coach.
I remember this one.
That's corny.
All right,
keep him coming.
I'm going to go through this list later,
and I'll pick a good one.
We got some good suggestions going, though.
Shout to that mom.
Tony LaRue down in flames.
If I'm going down,
you can do some red dirt.
I thought I'd be like some classic country.
Yeah.
I'd be.

Let's give it to the guest.
Let's give it to KJ.
This weekend, catch me posted up with the fam.
Chill weekend, but your boy will be dialed in to my favorite event.
You know, even next to the Super Bowl, you might call this my number one event.
event when it comes around every two, possibly four years, who could know what the answer is
when good U.S. lads are rolling out to U.S. or Bethpage Red and putting up a good,
yeah, that too.
They're actually, they're playing on both courses.
I don't know if you mentioned like it's like a.
Oh, really?
I didn't know that.
I must have missed that part.
Yeah.
No.
No, I'll be dialed into the Ryder Cup.
I am baffled by the latest odds that have the U.S. slightly favored.
And I feel like that's all on Scotty Shephler, which is kind of a big deal.
But, you know, if you know me, I'm all about team golf and then the scoring in the Ryder Cup.
Yeah.
So when it's when the Eurolads are up two, one down on the next one.
Yeah. I'm going to be dialed in, man. I'm excited.
Wow. Well, I'll be, I'll be texting you about it. I'm glad it, it only took five years, but now you finally got the scoring down the point system and whatnot.
Yeah, it's going to be a big Ryder Cup weekend over on Beth Page Black.
I will say, today is like your lead up tomorrow. It starts tomorrow.
Of course.
is
Europe's just cooler.
They just are,
they're just a cooler team
because everything they do feels natural.
And all of the stuff about the U.S. is like,
oh,
they don't take it as seriously.
It just means more to Europe.
Blah, blah, blah.
U.S. wants to get paid.
Whatever.
But everything, when the U.S. does something like,
whether it's welcoming in like an old writer cup or
as like an honorary captain or whatever it was that they just did last night.
But everything feels forced and, like, it's got to be cameras there and nothing is genuine.
And it's not necessarily on the players.
It's just, it feels weird.
In Europe, just like, Europe's guys are just likable for the most part.
I'm giving, that's also top heavy.
I'm giving all that to hove.
People are trying their best to, like, ruin Victor Hovland right now.
And it's just not going to happen.
And I hope he's such a killer in the Ryder Cup.
I hope he's such an asshole.
The people end up not liking him.
You doesn't have it in him to be an asshole.
I know, but I want to see it.
It would make me like him even more.
They do seem to just generally care more about this than the U.S. team, don't they?
Yeah.
Like they're just more into it.
Comraderies seem stronger.
Yeah, I'll be watching.
If USA loses this, you won't hear the end of it for a long, long.
It'll be a big deal because it's on our soil and, like, it's just,
the Italy was a disaster for us and it's just it'll be a big deal in golf people will be on
to Georgia and Alabama and Cowboys Packers without pause in the golf world you won't hear
the end of it to be clear it's a great weekend for sports it's a big sport weekend and my horns
don't play which is they need a buy week so yeah you needed a week away from them I did I did
look good the last week though can I do my weekend uh yeah sorry Randy yeah I'll do my weekend
So Friday, big day.
I'm playing golf.
Whoa.
For the first time in a, I don't know exactly, but I think it's been over two years since I played golf.
We're doing a little scramble, which is the most casual way to get back into golf, which is one of the reasons why I'm doing it.
And Davey will be there as well.
Yeah, our buddy is, he's one of the hosts of this tournament to benefit cancer research for leukemia.
And so good cause.
going to have some good times
are playing with Blaine and Ryan
Yes, we are
Weather's going to be nice
I'm pretty excited for that
What time we're teeing off?
One o'clock
Damn, I wish we were in there.
Tomorrow's going to be like an A-plus morning.
So it's going to be nice.
I know, I know.
It'll be nicer than it's been, that's for sure.
It's going to be nice.
I'm excited, yeah.
I think Park is having to sleep over at our place
that same night.
Ooh.
So I'll be, you know, rolling
into that after
When you host a sleepover, are you buying dinner?
Like, are you getting pizzas for the boys?
Typically pizza is the move, yeah.
Hell yeah.
Yeah.
We haven't done sleepovers yet.
In fact, I don't know if we're anymore close to that.
That would be a disaster.
Parks loves a sleepover, man.
Always trying to have a buddy stay over or stay over at their place.
The rest of the week, I don't have much.
And I'll tell you this, if on Saturday, if I don't get together with some squad members and drink beer and watch football,
I'm not even coming into work on Monday.
I'm just so fucking over it.
This weekend is prime for that.
I just got a calendar invite.
My Saturday is blocked off.
This weekend is prime for beers and football.
And I just, I need, I need something.
I need male friendship, Dave.
Bears football, dude.
I know you have afternoon baseball game.
You got to get to after that.
Even worse, it's a practice.
Oh, God.
Talk about practice.
Step out after.
Come on now.
Just step the fuck out.
What's your problem?
Have I shown up to a weekend practice with a couple beers in me yet?
people are wondering have you i don't know why don't you guys just tailgate the practice
drink beers get like a satellite tv or something satellite tv was this 1928 i don't know
you're talking about use your phone as a hot spot and just use the game on my phone and just
stream it you know dude jack it all fucking dude old miss just went for it just went for it on their own
On their own 35.
I don't want to doxie boys.
Sorry, fuck.
He's going to doxie boys.
But where's the place of choice for what,
taking in a game on a Saturday nowadays?
We don't even have one, man.
Because we don't ever do it.
I know what changes,
but where would it be?
I'll go to Hooters with you.
I'll go to Woodrow's on West Six, man.
I'll go to Twin Peaks or Hoos.
Okay.
That's it.
Trauma.
Trauma's place is a big place now.
If you want to go look at little babes and tiny outfits and
drink some beers and watch football, I'll go with you.
Let's go to X-Files.
That's a joke for Ford.
It's having a joke.
You talk, there's a new bar in town.
It's right down.
We're not watching the game there.
Come on, why not?
There's a new bar that is within three minutes walking of our office called X-Files.
And we will never go.
And it is a step above Hooters and Twin Peaks, but a step below a strip club is what it appears.
No, it's, it's, it's, we're all very curious about it.
mainly just Randy.
I do not want to go there.
Dude,
you should go watch.
Got to spend 30 minutes
and X-Files.
Damn,
it looks like I lost.
You got to go pop in,
bro.
I mean,
they do have a good deal.
For $5,
you get a lone star
and an extra large hot dog.
So,
that is a good deal.
What was the other deal?
It was like wings and bourbon.
I don't want to eat.
If I'm drinking bourbon,
I'm not eating wings.
Those don't go pair together.
Greasy-ass fingers all over.
Is that elitist?
That might be elitist of me,
but if I'm eating,
wings, it's cold, it's beer, not
bourbon. Chalmers looks dope
as hell. Yeah, Chalmers place is like
the place where a lot of people
go nowadays to go
watch the games. Chalmers?
Chalmers. Oh, dude.
Free, free game.
I wonder if that's my Pledge Brothers'
Dad's place.
Oh, it's sick. It is.
I wonder if he can get us a table.
Tell Mario, I said, what's up?
He's in law school.
You remember Chalmers?
I do remember Chalmers.
Dude, he almost quit during hell week.
I literally got him through it.
I like carried his ass, dude.
What a mistake that would have been.
Like, imagine if he didn't make it through.
Like, we probably wouldn't even be talking to him for one.
Dude, you went through eight weeks for nothing?
Like, no way, I was not going to let him quit.
Like, I told him, I was like, if you quit, I quit.
There is a Chalmers.
Yeah.
That's my flesh brother.
Really?
Me too.
No, you weren't in my flesh class.
No, I don't.
But chalms, dude, we call them the chalms.
Chalms, yeah, good nickname.
It was a freaking spring pledge.
He wasn't in that pledge class.
Dude, one time he lost his placer and he had to show up to, like, a pledge meeting.
And, like, instead of a blazer, he wore, like, this denim jacket.
And, like, the pledges, the pledge class had to get a knife and fork and, like, eat it.
Eat a jacket.
One of these guys, dude, our other pledge brother.
That's good.
That's good.
No, do you remember Woodski?
Wutski, yeah.
Witschke, he got
a fucking animal,
dude.
He got denim poisoning.
He ate too much denim.
Well, like,
he ate one of the buttons
and the button like,
yeah.
I remember that.
Yeah.
It got lodged.
Yeah, it was a total pink sock situation.
Oh, God.
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
That is,
that is absolutely disgusting.
Is that when he was pissing
Folgers for a week or two after that?
What are you doing this weekend,
Randy?
You're a green.
what do you got this weekend
can you give me a second day
I was just supposed to go from
from freaking pink sock into my weekend
no that's not what I said okay
we got a late submission in the chat
for a walk-up song
any cannibal corpse you want to do
oh dude
well I come blood
for the only that's too far
just tell us about your week
this weekend all right uh so i am i think friday i'm going to go do a night paddle there's a night paddle
board uh there's like some light show on the uh old what's the old the old fact fat not factory
power plant i think you better be careful out there at night on a paddle board yeah well i think
i think people out there yeah so like the old uh power plant i think there's like going to be
projection mapping and like art artists and stuff doing something there so i might try to go at night
yeah rainy is micah gonna be there be careful you i've gone paddleboarding at night before
micah's just micah is the power plant i've gone out for it's just a lot of boarding at night
it is the rainy street ripper like that's that's who the killer is there's going to be a bunch of
people on the water to go watch this thing i went yeah the one time that the one time dan and i went
to go watch the bats and like they didn't come out for some reason or like they we were just
waiting. We're like, we need to go back because he had to go record softcore. It was just me and
him on the river going all the way back. And that was spooky. There was no one else. But then
we also looked up and we saw Starlink. So it was pretty cool. Oh, that's cool. But I've gone
out for the fireworks too and there's a bunch of people on the water. Anyway, so I think I'm about
do that. Make sure you wear a life jacket, bro. I, Dan almost got a ticket last time I went
paddleboarding because technically if you don't have a life jacket, they can write a ticket for
you so yeah pfd so i have to go get a life jacket i guess pfd sauce is blowing me up right
personal flotation device he's in the chat i know and he's just he he's doing the like the
the text we just you know change sauce chill out we do we're what we're recording a podcast right now
uh saturday whoever through uh i'm sorry go ahead randy no no no no what do you have to say i was just
i was not i was calling out that somebody said do the circling back theme song yeah walk up that needed to
acknowledged to.
Do I think it's, you wouldn't do it, but I think it's an option.
A little Barry Rigby.
That would be pretty funny.
I'm an island boy.
It'd be pretty funny.
All right, go ahead.
So Saturday, I don't know, like, of course, everyone wants to stop hearing about it, but
I am going to try to work on this tree shelf because next weekend is ACL.
And I have friends coming to town.
I really want to have this thing done before they came in.
But we'll see.
So try and get that.
but Saturday also Bangers is doing October Fest and I kind of want to go check that out.
It's the only thing that might get me to go to Rainy, but I don't know.
We'll see.
Randy, this is going to sound rude and I don't mean it to me because a lot of the things you do look dope and they sound questionable when you announce it.
Then they look super awesome and I'm like, man, I wish I would have considered that.
Do you open up like do 512 or like Austin Tourist.com and then just look at events and then it's just
start checking boxes because I feel like you're doing a lot of mainstream things, but then they look
dope as hell. So it's not insult. The 365 Austin is, they've been doing really well lately
with their slideshows about what's going on in the weekend. So I had seen this light show thing
a couple weeks back and marked down my calendar. And then bangers, they do that every year.
And I've never really gone to the October Fest thing. So we'll see. But yes, I do. I like, I like
doing the little touristy stuff. I've only had one miss of that. And that was you were part of some like
underground Austin discord about like light show events. I was going to be a little shame.
No, no. That's just one where Austin, Austin, 365, all these Instagram accounts.
Only one missed. That was Brisket Fest that I went to with, with Dan.
And we thought it was going to be a bunch of brisket. It was like three vendors on a very, really hot day and like some pop punk cover bands that weren't like the ones I usually go to.
We watched a Weezer cover band.
Man, I love listening to Weezer when I'm eating Brisket outside.
Yeah.
That sounds like your kind of night.
Yeah.
I'm doing the same thing.
So, we'll see.
We're talking like Pinkerton, Weezer, or like, Blue Album?
I think it was, it was all of them.
Their name was wrestling and Jimmy.
Okay, so we're getting some Blue Album.
The headliner was Jimmy Eat Brisket, which we did not stay for it because that was, we're like, we need to get out of here.
Kind of funny.
Little, little Austin.
and spin on it.
But anyways, yeah.
So shouts to my weekend.
I hope I have fun.
Hope I get a lot of time with that.
That stuff.
Golf tomorrow.
Ball all weekend.
T-ball practice Sunday or Saturday.
T-ball game Sunday.
Then you're linking with the boys Saturday.
Cowboys packs.
Watch us.
get fucking packed up.
I'm not even going to watch that shit.
They're going to be smoking on that cowboy pack.
No one says that anymore.
That's a cool three-year-old reference.
I'd be, look, it's just not having CD is not,
because you're like, you could talk yourself into maybe a shootout.
Like maybe best case scenario.
It's like, oh, yeah, dude, we're just going to have to really feed Jalen Tolbert.
Man, we just got to really get the ball to.
fine we got to get the ball to luke schoonmaker
we got to do it dude
it's tough times
Jake Ferris is going to make his debut
who
chadavian clown exactly
jadevian clownie
dude former first round pick
so
maybe I'll be wrong
maybe we'll continue to run the ball at a
very very successful rate
and maybe we can
I don't I don't know you really want me to talk
through it. I don't, why did I even bring it? No.
No. Fuck me. Just make sure you turn, when
your head coach has turned his hat backwards, you know
he means business. So keep an eye out for that.
All right. I'm
Does he go Ash, catch him on them?
He turns the hat backwards.
He goes sicko on him.
He'll go sick. He does. Okay.
Look, it's, it's not his fault.
It's not his fault. I like, I like him. He seems like a nice
guy. I don't know if he's a good coach, but
would I rather have the guy who eats kneecaps.
Yes, I would rather have.
Dan Campbell, but I don't have Dan Campbell. It wasn't an option. This is the ideal sports weekend as
a Dallas fan or Texas fan because your team doesn't play or doesn't play in the main slate of
the day. You can enjoy games, just leisurely, casually. And, you know, if you don't want to watch
the Cowazim, like, there's plenty of excuses to just go watch Sunday night in HBO or whatever.
So, y'all, y'all lap it up. Watch task. Watch Black Rabbit. I watched episode one, Dylan.
There you go. Pretty good shit. I'm going to continue. Yeah. I've got some things that I like about
it. So there we go.
All right.
Well, KJ, you want to plug anything?
Check out Twitch.tv slash partial recall underscore.
Your boys losing college football games on Twitch on a regular basis, usually at night.
It's not that entertaining.
But, hey, hit some follows over there so I can continue to get tens of scent every few months.
Check it out.
And I'd like to plug real quick if I can.
I'm going to be at the Riyadh Comedy Festival.
uh tomorrow you better hop on a flight buddy yeah i got to go like now so okay i got some
things the plug uh go ahead randy uh first selfless plug uh go follow do you know it show on
ticot instagram and uh i guess twitter and youtube but yeah go do that and like and engage
that doing daily trivia maybe i'll do it again next week i don't know we'll see i'm kind
of behind on stuff but more importantly dave i got small small
is in September, and
I should just have Brett come in here
and read these, but I guess I'm going to do it.
One, he specifically sent to me
because he knows I'm going to struggle with it,
and it'll be very fun for everyone
to be here. And I'll save that one
for the last time. It's like good audio, let's go.
Because I, yeah, it's
there's a lot of words I don't know how to pronounce,
so I'll save that one for my own. Let's just try.
We believe it.
All right, so I'll start off with this number one.
This is, um,
Caleb is submitting on behalf of
mother dana assuming she recently retired from being a teacher and is pursuing another passion that
she loves her company is endless blooms tex if you will she makes handcrafted paper flowers
this is pooled from her about section on etzi i assume i fell in love with the art of crafting
lifelike paper flowers capturing nature's beauty in every delicate petal my goal is to make them so
realistic that even a bee might be fooled. Each bloom begins with carefully cut paper enriched
with pan pastels or inks for natural depth. Through curling, stretching, and shaping every
pedal takes on the soft textures of real flowers. I attach them to a wire stem with crepe paper
ensuring an organic look. Thoughtful details, leaves, sepals, and delicate veins bring to life. I don't
know if that's what sepals i don't know s e p a l l i didn't know that was a part of the flower
uh i take pride in creating timeless floral artistry that brings lasting joy what
i had to go off my i had to go off of my own uh camera thing because i kind of look at myself
doing this whether you're seeking a new unique gift elegant decor or stunning event piece
my handcrafted flowers offer beauty that never fades if you like custom color or
design i'd love to bring your vision of life she put so he goes on to say she brings in a lot of dedication
i'm looking at her stuff endless blooms tx on etzy nice you might be into this randy it's very uh very
origami to be clear this is better than origami yeah yeah yeah randy can't do this this stuff is
those are beautiful dude this weekend i'm gonna take a origami okay okay okay yeah okay
cool man that's really good randy shout out to endless blooms
TX.
And I'll, if you want me to, I'll do the other one.
Yeah, yeah, we want you to.
I don't want you to.
But I have, they want you to.
It's small business.
I have two.
I have two more.
How about this?
I have two more.
One, I did like this one.
I wanted to make sure I mentioned this one.
This one's pretty good.
This one is from, it's from a wife of a fan.
Oh, okay.
From Marley.
My husband subjects me to your podcast every time we are in the car.
So I basically am your number one listener,
especially when we go up to our house in Saratoga.
Shout up.
I unofficially, but officially,
manage a small family-owned jewelry company called Goldie,
G-O-L-D-I-E.
We are a charm bar jewelry brand
where anyone can build very personal,
can bird personally based charm bracelets.
That's a typo.
And necklaces.
We also have ZAP jewelry,
which is permanent jewelry,
for those local to NYC.
Anyway, the charms are fun and all the ladies love them.
So when all the typical men have no idea what to give their mom, sisters, daughters, girlfriends, wives, lady, friends, girl in your life that you don't know how to ask for a thing, give me one of these.
Follow on Instagram at Goldie Jewelry Studio.
And I promise any girly pop in your life will be very happy to receive a piece that represents them.
Can't wait for my husband to be surprised if you mention the business.
he'll be jaw on the floor would be cool his name is william what's it called goldie goldie g-o-l-d-i-e jewelry studio i believe
on instagram goldie jewelry studio on iggy okay and here's the last one folks here's the last one
small business september this is the one that i i i don't know if i want to do but it's from our it's our from our friend tate
from Berg Wine Company that him and his wife dropped us gifts for us.
I got some honey, pretty cool stuff.
Very cool.
So as 100 P-backer, I want to submit my business for Small Business September.
My wife and I own the Berg Wine Company, Berg is B-U-R-G,
a 100-10 Texas-grown wine label that produces minimal intervention wines here in Texas Hill
country.
Calling a wine natural is more of a marketing term rather than a real,
life application, but we attempt to make sound tasty wines while adding our talk or taking,
I don't know, Brett needs to come to you with these things.
No, you're doing great.
Taking away the least amount of possible in the cellar.
My partner and I both work at larger wineries out here in Fredericksburg area and started
our own label in 2021.
Now, here's the part that I'm really concerned about.
We have three current releases of wine.
The first being a 2022
Vin-Rogue
Vino Rosso
Vin-Rog, yeah
Vin-Rogue, okay
a red-blended
granacci
granacci
a Mordove
Madovi
Mordovie
All right Mordvad
Fermenting using
natural yeast and age
and neutral oak barrels
for 16 months
in bottled and filtered
Yeah, they have wines
I can vouch for them
I went out there
They're great people
good wine
Give me a shot.
Dude, they're going to probably clip that and use that for advertising.
It comes more.
Brett would have fucking loved being all poppice reading this.
I know it.
So they have great, they're great people.
They gave, the honey that they gave me was amazing.
Some of the best honey I had.
And so Bergwineco in a thing, I'm sure.
I need to go out there.
Once it cools down, I'll go out there.
I'll reach out to you.
I want, I want a tour.
I want to be out there looking like this, arms crossed and nodding.
They treat you very well out there.
Fantastic.
Shout to Berg.
Thank you, Randy.
Shout to our small businesses.
I'm making,
I may Brad come in here and do those reads from now on.
I appreciate our small businesses,
but they're getting longer.
Yeah,
I feel like Brett is sending me the longest ones.
Well,
he just read it.
Right.
That was another like a paragraph and a half that I just decided,
yeah,
no.
Oh,
you got wronged.
Brett,
Brett said,
that's why I had him come in last time,
because the other one, I'm like, I'm not reading this novel, Brett.
If you want to come in here, I definitely can.
I support our people and they want to tell us about what they're doing.
I'm just not a good reader.
You're great.
You were not provided a better producer.
I am.
It's Reader Week.
And on that note, we'll see you tomorrow for listener voicemails on Patreon.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
You know,
Thank you.
