Maddo Ranchos, Maddo Ranchos, Maddo Ranchos, Mattel Ranchos, Mattel Ranchos,
yeah, great point. Hi, we're back. It's a circling back podcast. My name is Dave. Welcome to the show.
Producing today, Randall Trembachie. Hi, Dave. Hi. I have an important announcement. I tease it to you
earlier. He had no idea what it was even about.
People at home know I am a
big Taco Bell guy. I got
early access to the Carmel Apple and Panada
right now. I don't
know if people know.
The Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco is
back, baby. Sound the
hype horn. That would be your job.
Yeah, hold on. You could have got
for your intro, you could have done a hype horn. Yeah, I have.
You've got the button. Yeah. Maybe I'll do it later.
But no, yeah, it's bad. Later's not going to work.
No, this is crazy. I've been wanting this
thing to come back. They're doing their decades thing and the cool ranch and Doritos Locos Taco is back
and I've never been happier in my life. This is literally the happy. Can I ask a question? You
haven't introduced us yet, but can I ask a question anyway? Yeah. Hi, I'm Ross. Brandi, you seem like a
healthy guy. Yeah. You seem like you take care of yourself. Uh-huh. What the fuck are you
talking about? Taco Bell is delicious. And it's actually, it's not too bad for you.
How often are you going to Taco Bell? Really, really. Twice a month?
Maybe.
Then you don't get to come in here and pretend you're a Taco Bell enthusiast.
Yeah.
Twice a month?
I wouldn't say it's once a week, but probably maybe two or three times a month.
I don't think I've been to Taco Bell since college.
Twice a month sounds like a lot to me.
That would be, that would qualify.
Maybe a taco Bell.
Guys who care about their insights.
What about Randy makes you think that he's over here taking care of himself like some sort of health nut?
Like this is why.
Not like a health nut, but like I've seen.
This is why Barrett.
Dude, I've seen him.
with his shirt off. He's not in bad shape. Yeah. Thank you. Taco Bell is for trash people.
I just, I mean, you know, everybody can indulge in a little bit of fast food every now and then.
Taco Bell Barrett? Yeah. When's the last time you had Taco Bell dog? Probably the first time
the Doritos Tacos Locke's Locke. Do you remember the Taco Bell? I do that was, see, that was the golden age of Taco Bell.
That doesn't fly these days. I was just about say, do you want to do it? Do you want to do the line?
You can't say yo quiero Taco Bell. It wasn't really that. Not in the line. It was just the
It was just the delivery.
Yeah.
I think that was something that I didn't really realize at the time.
But aren't Chihuahua's Mexican dogs?
There is Chihuahua Mexico.
My neighbor, well, I know, my neighbor has eight chihuahuas.
That's not good.
No offense to that.
No, it's too many.
Do they listen to the show?
Nope.
You can hit on them all you want.
Eight chihuahuas is just too many.
Not even like the fact that the chihuahua is just eight tiny dogs.
Yeah, they're old.
Eight tiny dogs.
Not the dogs.
These are sick.
They're like 60-year-old parents.
That's some shit old people would do.
Eight Chihuahuas.
Ross Bowen, a passionate podcaster and dad proudly reps nodding him forest.
It pumps iron to the Prince of the Egypt soundtrack, believing real football fans save her one game at a time.
W.R. Bowen's hyping Texas State football on HBO Max and geeking out over Foundation's wild season three finale.
Yeah.
That's how it ended.
Thank you, chat.
No spoilers.
I still have a few more episodes in Foundation season three.
Chat GPT?
What?
How do you get my intro?
It updated since last time.
I do a lot of research when we have people on.
Okay.
It changed like two things since last time.
And of course, his co-host, Barrett Dudley, a podcasting pro, dishes on pop culture and conspiracies with sharp wit, always ready to roast award shows or hype a hot game.
Conspiracies.
Barrett's been riffing on TV shows from defending character-driven scenes to hyping season four's intense premiere while joking with pals about raw eggs.
and soggy biscuits.
Season four of what?
Do you...
Some shit I've came up with.
I don't know how you get it to give you
some of the most obscure things out there.
Why does yours always say
talking about Nottingham Forrest?
Because I tweeted about it once last year.
Also, between you're hyping up things,
you're hyping up HBO Max,
I'm hyping up soggy biscuits.
Randy's hyping up Taco Bell.
Is today a hype points day?
Oh, it's High Point Tuesday.
Hey, it is Hype Point Tuesday.
You seen these things?
Yeah, go ahead.
No, I don't know.
I'm excited, though.
You call yourself a media professional?
You don't know about hype points?
You don't know about YouTube's hype point system?
That is very clear that we totally get.
You have to mash the hype button.
This is for live shows only, right?
No, it's for any video.
And it's only on mobile.
And it's only on mobile, I think.
And it only works if your video processes.
Which sometimes it processes within a minute after you're done live.
sometimes it processes 45 hours after.
Well, I guess if anybody is out there watching us live on their mobile device right now,
hit us with those hype points, baby.
There's at least a few people.
Yeah.
Well, you know what you can always do.
You can always give us a like and a comment below.
And if you're not subscribed, you can always do that too.
You can also turn on notifications.
Exactly.
Oh, the bell.
Hit that bell.
Yeah, so that you know every time we go live.
Barrett, what do you want the people to comment in the YouTube comments today?
Um, hit us with a, uh, hit us with the emoji of the, um, of the, the, the, the, the
movie clapper.
Because we've got some, we've got some, we've got some, we've got some, we've got some TV and film
updates for you today.
Ross and I, obviously, co-hosts of, of oysters, clams, and cockles.
Oh, hold that thought, Barrett.
Yeah.
Um, of course.
Do you have a rundown for us on that?
Hosted by W.R. Bowen and Barrett Dudley passionately dissect TV gems like the Wire and the
Gilded Age with weekly Patreon exclusive companion pods.
rallying fans to join their mollusk militia for deep dives and hot takes.
Clams and cockles dives deep into HBO's The Wire and Task, dropping witty companion podcasts,
again, a little redundant here, with W.R. Bowen and Barrett Dudley.
So thanks in case anybody did.
Wow, yeah.
Yeah, me and W.R. are doing that.
Yeah, why is it always calling me that?
Oh, you're a noted New York Times.
New York Times best seller.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, so, but we've been neck deep in content the last few weeks with Task.
and with which we're two episodes through
and then our deep dives with our mollusk militia on the wire.
Zewa.
And we haven't gotten a chance to just, you know,
to dish about all the latest,
latest goss and updates out there and Holly Weird, am I right?
There's a lot of goss, y'all.
Hey.
Before we get to the goss,
Randy and I are doing exactly five minutes today.
It's going to be a Dave and Randy Patreon.
Sick.
How's that feel?
It's going to be pretty,
thought what do you guys do for five minutes
whatever they want us to do
they tell us
one of those live streams
they tell us like hey talk about this
and right all right sometimes it's really
really good most of the time every now
and then it's like hey
what's like the worst moment of your life
talk about for five minutes right
man all right I guess I will kind of like a PTI
kind of like a PTI exactly
yeah PTI they just got re-uped Tony
Cornhizer's going to raise time hey
I got some goss.
Don't let me forget.
Did you see Sepinwall got to let go from Rolling Stone?
I did not.
Alan Seppinwall.
Yeah.
Noted a TV or film TV writer.
Yeah.
One of the goats.
Yeah, TV credit.
Dave, I know you're in the middle of doing announcements and stuff like this,
but there's something that has just come to my attention that I need to address.
Barrett, why is your laptop like that?
I've never seen someone lean their laptop vertically up against a couch.
It's the most chaotic thing I've ever seen in my life.
I just,
I brought my lap being here and I just put it there.
You ever should live?
He's a guest.
You've ever seen someone put their laptop like that?
Untraditional laptop placement.
That's the thing about Barrett.
Update the grok description.
What do you want me to do?
You're going to just like, lay it flat on the floor so I can stomp all over it?
I don't know.
Put it on the table or something.
It's just,
geez, Randy.
You have it like a book on a bookshelf.
Dave, when you initially invited Ross and I,
of the show. You asked if we wanted to come guest host the show. And I thought that all y'all
were going to be gone and it was just going to be me and Ross hosting Circling Back. Like until you
walked in just now, you thought this? No, no, no, no. Oh, okay. You figured it out eventually. I figured
it out eventually. That would have been sick. People would have honestly loved that with Randy.
But I, yeah, I just thought Randy was going to produce Ross and I as the new Circling Back co-host for the
It's not that hard. I mean, like, you guys have seen how it's made. I was like, oh, that's
That's interesting.
That'll be,
that'll be something.
But I'm happy to have you here guys.
People do that for their shows, though.
Like when,
like when Jimmy Kimmel goes off for a week and he has like, you know.
Yeah,
but I was thinking more in the lane of like,
like podcasters.
But they'll do that from time to time.
Like the example I can think of off the top of my head
is the two bears,
one cave guys.
What are their names?
Burke Kreischer and Tom Seguer.
Oh, yeah.
When they exited...
town for whatever reason.
I'm pretty sure that one's recorded here in Austin.
They brought in like, you know, stavros and some other slap dick to host their show for them while they were gone.
We can't, we don't have stav money.
It's a little cross promo.
I'm not saying you could get stavros.
I'm saying that that's not a bad idea for us, you know.
You fuckers are on vacation so much that it's like at some point you're going to need it.
You should have me and Dylan do OCC.
Yeah, yeah.
You think that we could fill an hour?
Totally.
Just a Lord of the Rings pod?
Yeah, Dylan can talk a lot about that for sure.
We might need to watch the Lord of the Rings again.
Yeah.
I don't know if that's going to happen.
Where is Dylan right now?
He's traveling the...
He's in Boston right now, I believe.
The Northeast.
He's going to Fenway tonight.
Oh, that's cool.
Boston, Texas?
No, no, no.
Massachusetts.
Oh, Massachusetts.
Fenway Pack.
Austin, Massachusetts.
No, again, he's been very clear.
He's been posting about it.
to run that movie back.
Did you see?
He saw the meme.
He was in Cooperstown and then they went to, his dad took him to a Norman Rockwell museum.
Yeah.
And he came across, so to speak, the meme.
The mean, the standing up, the old guy, yeah, yeah.
Saying a thing that we've taken a meme culture to be like a unpopular take.
Unpopular opinion.
But it's like, yeah, it's a divisive take.
Yeah, and he posted a photo next to it.
His nipples are hard as rock.
Yeah, you said you want to suck his milkers.
Because look at those
fucking things, man.
What is what going on there?
I was going to comment
when he posted that in the group chat.
I was going to say,
it looks cold in that museum.
So Brett brought us this cool t-shirt.
He brought one cool t-shirt back.
He tried to give it to Will.
Will's like, no, it doesn't fit me.
Gave it to Dylan.
Dylan took it home and brought it back.
Now it's in my possession.
And I'm almost certain
it didn't fit Dylan
because it was really showing
Dylan's rock-hard nips.
It's tithes.
Brett brought one cool t-shirt.
It's like an opera ski, something, like cool tea.
It's in my backpack.
I'm not going to go get it.
It's not that important to the show.
No, no, let's pause the show.
You know what?
You go get you.
You guys on the show.
I won't trip over your laptop.
But yeah, anyway, point is Dylan's got a great chest, but with a great chest comes...
Great responsibility.
And that responsibility is his nipples are just always just cutting diamonds.
Yeah, it's a little much.
Okay.
So what were we talking about?
announcements probably small business September as well oh yeah it's Thursday email
brett at brett at washmedia.com for business inquiries if you have a small business that
you want us to like gas up for free tight for free and I'll hit him up hey this is kind of our
thing patreon spooky at washmedia.com spooky is right around the corner I'm glad you
remembered that Randy I need to put that in the copy spooky seasons next month do
your uh does your uh oldest nobody wants to do for Halloween yet uh I can't remember what
she's most recently landed on but she talks about it year round yeah I've been told I have to be
the Hulk this year yeah she changes what she wants to be over and over or just a Hulk he wants
me to be Hulk um the Hulk he said this like a couple months ago I think he's moved on I'm hoping
because I don't know I don't really want to do the Hulk that's a lot of pressure yeah you know you get
your protein goals up I'm very thin I'm still like sitting at 153
You need to get on some tea.
Yeah, you'd have to find one of those.
Like, you couldn't just, you can't do green face, obviously.
That's not all right doing that.
Can't do green face.
It's not allowed, but you could get, you could get one of the full, you know, Hulk puffy, big foam.
It's the Hulkster, brother.
No, I don't know if I'm, that's not the Hulk.
It's a different Hulk.
Yeah, it's a different one.
NW.O. Hulk would be tight, although.
What if you did, like, what?
What if you were like Hulkomania and you did and you were like green big dude, but then like with a yellow mustache and you like ripped off a tank top?
You just say you're just combining holes.
Combining Hulk's yeah.
It's just confusing.
Again, my son's four and a half.
While you all walk in the neighborhood, you just spout racist takes.
Yeah, I just.
And I'm just like, people forget I said all this stuff, brother.
And people are like, oh, you're a whole, what are you?
I'm sorry.
You're like a combo.
That's cool.
Yeah.
actually not um you see no um you know what it is cool what what does he want to be though sorry
to sorry to sorry i biffed your segue there no no no no no what does he want to be for he wants
you to be hulk but what does that mean see it's been a couple months captain america uh another
no we're not no i think he wanted to run back spidey okay but that this conversation hasn't been
had um he really the latest he's mentioned was a minion he's really into minions love the
Oh, yeah. You said he speaks minionese.
He does. And again, if we had just devoted that time to him learning another language, possibly Mandarin, he would be fluent by now.
Because he knows, he sits in the back and sings the songs, word for word, in perfect minionese.
And I'm like, this is, like, impressive.
I was going to say, that's incredibly impressive.
But also, like, this isn't going to benefit you.
I don't know, Dave. The minions are a big franchise, multi-billion dollar franchise.
You know, I was unaware of, I had not watched any despicable me or minion stuff until six months ago.
And now I'm like, yeah, I get it.
And it helps that they take songs that I'm aware of and that I think are good.
And they just put them in the movie, just change the words.
He could turn out to be the world's foremost minionologist.
He could.
Yeah, we do need more of those.
Right, right.
People are saying that.
Well, AI has taken all the other jobs.
So this is big.
One job that I hope nobody takes from me ever is my ability to talk.
about how much I love Underdog.
Somehow a better segue.
You know, football is back.
It is.
And Underdog is the best place to make picks and win money a whole season long.
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.

I just heard the door slam.
Was that Brett Storming out?
because he just heard that.
Bro, I was like, that's not going to fly.
He's going to have to deal with this.
Oh, shit.
The fun part about doing a live show or just a show with guests that, you know,
like when you start doing the ad read,
you see them their phone comes out and it's like,
I was actually checking underdog.
Great.
Yeah, Ross was just logging on an underdog, make some picks.
I actually was.
Sick.
I'm a fan.
I have two.
I mean, that's, that's.
This is the first.
First, you have played around with some daily fantasy.
And I am not good at it on the baseball side of things.
It is real tough.
I stick to the NFL.
I mean, yeah, well, good for you.
Daily fantasy baseball?
Yeah, that's some degenerate shit right there.
It's six, you only pick six players.
Huh.
That's a lot.
Only six.
You know, like in, I've never done fantasy baseball.
I don't know what.
Oh, oh, we've moved.
Okay, we're talking about, sorry.
Yeah, yeah. Well, anyway. All right. Hope and why.
Y'all do some OCC stuff and I'll just hang out. Look at my phone. No, these guys are on a pod if you knew, you probably know they are, but oysters, clams and cockles. It was the number one game of Thrones podcast in the realm back in the day. That's right. That's right. And now it's just, I mean, you guys heard the entry. You're doing the wire. You're doing task, which I'm up on task. I'm up on the wire too.
Yeah, we bounce around.
We try to hit the hottest shows.
The zeitgeist.
You guys are a little geisty, but you don't try to be geisty.
You just are naturally geisty.
Yeah.
We are the geist.
That's the goal.
Oh, yeah.
Well, we try to, yeah, we try to ride the wave.
We try to find the hottest show.
And when HBO does a Sunday night banger, such as task, it makes it really easy for us.
Speaking of the realm, we're going to have a massive 2026, both 90 to 7 kingdoms and season
three of Hot D are popping off next year.
That's House of the Dragon.
Hot D.
Oh, dang it.
I was hoping that video Dylan sent me on Slack.
He's not even here.
Probably euphoria in between those two.
I'm just saying there's some bangers next year.
You know, you get HBO Sunday night, Fabian Frankel.
Yep, yep.
Speaking of Hot D.
House of the Dragon.
Grasanova, DJ Grasanova.
Hit the high porn, Randy.
That's really good stuff
You know I thought last night
Second episode
When you're gonna do the slow
The slow drip
You're gonna do one episode a week
Yeah
In your first episode
You don't try too hard
You just kind of establish some things
Tone whatnot
Setting
Second
Second episode's very important
Because a lot of people
After week one were like
I don't know
They're like it wasn't bad
But like I'm also
I need to be
I need that hook
Were people saying it was mid
After episode one
Nobody said it was mid
but I heard some people that were like
okay they weren't over
I was probably overrating it
because I really liked the cast
and I wanted it to be good
because of course I did brush shoulders
with Fabian Frankel in New York City
that's right oh yeah he dresses cool
well that's a cool guy he dresses extremely cool
like wearing like denim that I didn't even know
like existed like some Gino Barrett comes in with some shit
and you're like all right Barrett's doing some shit
this is like that times three
okay and anyway
But it was, episode two was really good.
We don't have to, I don't want to steal the content from OCC,
but I just want to say, I am very much in on task.
I'm all in, dude.
But I was all in week one.
I like this guy's shit, though.
What's his name, Barryton?
Ross said on yesterday's podcast that he was going to for sure remember it this time.
It's Brad Inglesby.
Yeah.
He did Merrivesetown.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
And he's the creator and writer of task.
I will just talk a little bit about, about task in general,
because, you know, obviously we want people to come
check out our podcast about it.
But like this dude Brad Inglesby is from Philadelphia.
You had Dan on yesterday, Delco Dan, and Brad traffics in knowing everything and anything
about like Delco and Monco and suburban, rural Philadelphia, basically.
It feels authentic.
And it's very, very authentic.
This dude nails all of the set design and the production details and like the things that, like
there's, Ross and I like to talk about how they're like, you know, like Mark
Ruffalo's characters drinking out of a Phillies cup.
The kids wrapped up in an Eagles blank.
it they're all drinking yengling like the those little kind of like very you know uh details that
are specific to the region make the show feel super lived in and then we're gonna we're gonna be
talking about heat two in a second right oh yeah like if you like a two-hander if you like a deep
dark crime thriller like like a crack and if you like a if you like a crime thriller like
this shit will hit for you i i can't believe that people were yeah i anybody that didn't that
wasn't in after episode one it was sauce it was
one guy. What an idiot.
This is one dude.
Like I got I think just like doesn't isn't down for that type of, you know,
thrill ride basically.
And you know in that Phillies cup, you know they weren't drinking water.
Nope.
No, no, it wasn't water.
They were not.
You know, I just keep waiting for him to go to Wawa and get a hoagie, right?
Yeah.
Are we confide?
I saw some, there was some Reddit talk about how Dan botched that.
Dan, Dan came on yesterday to apologize for his distances of the Northeast and also.
Because he said that Wawa does subs or something?
He let us say subs and didn't correct us, apparently.
That it's Hogis, not Suss.
And I think he was just being a nice guy.
You ever break bottles behind Wawa, Dave?
No, he don't know about that.
What did you say?
Did you ever break bottles behind Wawa?
You know, it seems like a reference I should know, but I don't.
You should.
It's not a reference you should know.
But hit us in the chat if you know that reference.
I used to skateboard behind Subway when I worked there for six months.
I wasn't even six months.
I got left off the schedule.
Subway is not like Wawa.
We just, we do sub.
I mean, they do subs.
You got any predictions for task?
No.
Okay.
No.
And that's kind of what I like about it.
Because, you know, a lot of these, it's like,
would you say that these two guys, Tom Brandis and Robbie, what's his last name?
No last name.
It doesn't matter.
Tom and Robbie, would you say that they're on a collision course?
That could get explosive.
Tom Brandis is the.
the FBI field agent that's heading the task force.
Robbie is the man that's doing the Omar from the wire thing, except he's doing it with
biker gangs.
Yeah.
Makes his living robbing drug dealers.
Trap houses.
You know, now that you say it, it does seem like they are going to collide.
Yeah.
It would be, in a sense, worlds colliding.
Yeah.
And it's for me, it's the, how do you say, juxtaposition.
of the characters.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The juxtope.
Right, yeah, you understand.
I do.
And what's going to make it tough is,
while not a traditional anti-hero,
you have this guy seemingly a family man.
And on the other end,
Mark Welfillow's character,
he's also a family man,
but a more quantum,
what's the word I'm looking for?
Complicated one, actually.
Okay.
And...
Very complicated family.
The two, it's like they're chasing,
chasing each other, but they're also chasing themselves.
Oh, yeah.
I would agree.
I would agree.
I concur.
And I don't, I don't want to steal your thunder.
You guys do the TV stuff, not me.
But that's just my take.
That's a good take.
Well, it's very introspective.
It was.
Great analysis.
Thank you.
Astute.
I do want, I do think, I was like wondering, like, there's spoilers.
If you're, if you're in the chat, watching it live or whatever, just mute it.
I was like, what the fuck I'm going to do with this kid?
Yeah, we're worried about the kid.
I'm worried about the kid.
Because they don't seem like the type to do the unspeakable.
Right, right.
This isn't going to be a Jesse Plumman situation.
We are, as discussed yesterday, Ross, we're a little worried that Cliff Broward,
aka Diff Moward, is going to come do something rash.
Okay.
Cliff might make a bad choice.
Yeah, yeah.
Hurt people, hurt people.
I've got to say also, what I'd love and fear having,
Mainly Barrett, but Ross, too.
This is going to be a subtle slight to Ross.
About doing OCC or talking TV or film.
Yeah.
It's just y'all's the ease you remember all the character names with on a brand new show.
And I'm such a dumb guy that it takes me like, it'll take me half a season before I can be like, oh yeah, that's Tom or that's so-and-so.
And it's just, it makes me feel like less of an intellectual.
To be fair, like when we started doing OCC, it took me three seasons.
to get the names of the characters on Game of Thrones.
It's hard.
And I still, Barrett is much better at this than me.
Like, I routinely forget character names,
but now I'm just forgetting the creator and writer name
over and over and over.
So that's a nice change of pace.
Well, don't feel bad, Dave,
because me also done, me very stupid.
If you ever just want the, you know,
to just feel like an absolute ass hat,
yeah.
do a do a do a do a do a companion podcast for the wire and then post a bunch of clips to
TikTok yeah okay people make you feel real smart I'm not on they really like it I'm not on TikTok
they're big fans yeah what did why are they upset why did people gate keep the wire someone what was
the first thing we got in trouble for I knew they we said it was difficult to keep up with the
chain of command within the police department yeah we were talking about the first episode like very
clearly like establishes that like the bureaucracy within the police department is an absolute mess
that the first episode is kind of dense
and can turn people off
because it's like
everything that's happening
on the police side
and the police department
doesn't make a lot of sense.
There's a ton of moving parts.
When you meet everybody's...
So we posted a clip about that on TikTok
and what do we get like 650 comments
about how chain of command
is actually very easy to understand
and we're fucking stupid.
It's all people who've watched it three times.
It's all people who have seen the wire bunch
who were like,
How can you not tell where Major Rawls falls on the chain of command versus Deputy Ops Burrell?
And I'm like, dude, we're one episode in.
That's just engagement, baby.
Yeah, give me those comments.
These guys are just rage baiting.
Bumbs me out.
All right.
Ready?
I've been working on this because I knew I was going to have you all on.
God damn it.
Gnett, Gnoughton it.
That's my Daniels.
That's Cedric Daniels.
That's good.
Yeah.
Nice.
McNulty's always in some shit.
What the fuck did I do?
That's McNulty.
He's great.
He's great.
He's great.
He's great.
He's a terrible dad.
I don't watch the crown, but my wife does.
Yeah.
I watch the crown.
I'm like walking into the, I walk into like brush my teeth and I'm like, oh, McNulty.
Yeah.
And she's like, yeah, you always say that.
Like, you know, you love that.
I was, hey, you ever see?
You should watch the wire, Lisa.
Anyway, I'll go on about my life.
I'll go watch Chargers Raiders at 11.30 at night.
I'm a fucking loser.
I went to sleep.
I was too sad because of my football team.
I watched the whole thing.
I stayed up till I stayed up watched the whole.
That was a mistake.
Fantasy applications?
Yeah.
Yeah. Oh,
God.
Okay.
Yeah.
I didn't get to W.
Should we do 15 minutes on my fantasy team?
I do want to know.
Who did you take in the third round?
We talked Texans when you didn't hear the other day, just briefly.
Yeah, I was like, I got CJ on my bench, but like I think he's going to, what's going to?
What's going on?
Do we have to do this?
Is it because Nick Chubb, a guy who blew his knee out catastrophically is a starting
running back?
No, I didn't want to do.
I just, I'm curious, what's wrong?
Because, like, the Texans, they're in that tier two, like, they're not favorites,
but they're like right under the fans.
We were.
I don't know if we will be now.
Ross has a sports podcast and follows the Texans with a, with a, with a closer eye than I
do.
But I watched both games last night, a bunch of both.
And obviously, Herbert has been in the league for twice as well.
long as C.J. Stroud, but watching Stroud and then watching Herbert, like, I'm just
Stroud has issues. Needs a lot of work. Ross actually called this out for me a week ago.
Sorry to talk ball on y'all. Um, they hate that. The way, the way, this CJ just like runs
backwards. Like step up in the pocket, bro. 30% of the place. One time. Yeah, when the pocket,
when the pocket collapses, Stroud does not step up into it and find a man. He just runs. He runs
backward and so he takes these like 10 yard sacks um and i like then then you watch herbert who
just like calm in the pocket climbs the ladder finds a guy good term like it's it's it's it was
just night and day watching the two of them and i'm just i hate to say this because i like cj but i just
don't know if he's capital h him anymore oh wow yeah what's about this whole him movie
the new jordan peel one yeah we did we did we did talk about that the trailer looks pretty pretty insane
Thanks for listening to their show.
I have no idea what's, what to expect from that movie at all.
I'm excited for the Marlon Wayans, like, I don't know if it's a comeback, but it's like the,
I'm doing something different here.
It feels like it's been like five or six years.
Yeah.
He's like not moving and shaken now.
Yeah, yeah.
He's doing like the real, this is going to be like the hardcore performance, not like the scary movie style slapstick.
Yeah.
Okay.
I did see that trailer and I thought it was, it's a movie that I would like to see.
Yeah.
The first time I ever got drunk, I watched Don't Be a Menace in South Side Central while drinking juice in the hood.
He's in that.
The parody you're talking about, right?
Yeah, don't be a menace in South Side Central while drinking juice in the hood.
What was that, like 2000?
2001?
Yeah, somewhere in there.
I remember my first beer.
You ever think back on movies like that?
I had mimoses.
Which you watched when you were like 12 years old and then you would go around and hang out with all your dumb friends and be like,
like, I've sucked your dick
for a cheeseburger. And then...
Change your personality.
Just do a little cultural appropriation.
Yeah, and then you watch those movies again and you're like,
oh my God, like, what were we doing?
I can't say I've done that specifically.
But yeah, there's a lot of movie.
I famously walked out of...
Mostly what I'm saying is, like, movies go so far over your head
when you're 12 and 13 years old.
Half-baked.
But you love them and you talk about them
and you quote them nonstop anyways,
even though you're not understanding them really.
Yeah.
Like if I'm like 10 years...
old talking about nudie magazine day from Billy Madison.
Right.
Right.
The jokes, yeah.
It's too damn hot for a penguin to just be walking around here.
You can see more of this at OCC.
They're going to do this a little bit on you.
We once saw Pouti Teng in theaters.
Dude, I think we saw Pudit Teng.
Ross and I probably saw Pudit Teng together in theaters.
Believe it was written in part by Louis C.K.
Actually, he was involved in some class.
Yeah, I heard that recently.
Anyway, we saw Pooty.
Putti Tang, and I think we walked out to go, like, to a party.
We left Putti Tang early to go to a field.
Oh, yeah.
And just, you know, drive a Toyota Tacoma through some mud or something.
It's a real cool, cool life I led.
Yeah.
Well, I'm not surprised you, like, Putty Tang then, because you were just telling me before
the show started about how you think Louis C.K. gets a bad rap and really, like, what he did
wasn't that big of a deal.
And we're talking, first of all, you got here one minute before the show.
And I did go see Louie on Thursday.
That is true.
I talked about it a little bit yesterday.
He's a very, very good stand-up comedian.
I don't have any thoughts on Louie.
I'm staying out of this.
It's been, it has been, it's been eight years.
I thought that was, I thought that was.
Since he whipped his dick out?
Since he was, since he was canceled, basically, since he.
Are you saying he served his time?
Um, no, I'm not going to go that far.
Did the time fit the crime?
I thought we canceled, cancel culture.
Well, I think we have.
As evidenced by the fact that he's selling out five nights in a row at the Moody Center, among other cities where I'm sure he's doing the same.
Comedians always seem bulletproof to the cancel culture stuff, though, to me.
Yeah, yeah.
I can't think of one that it actually.
What about Delia? Chris Delia?
Go look at the numbers Delia is still doing.
Is he ever sure?
I don't know.
He's been on like podcasts and stuff since I've been, he'll pop up on a clip on podcast.
I'm like, oh, I guess he's weathered the storm.
What about the guy from a, uh,
Silicon Valley
Big red-headed dude
Oh yeah
Yeah
But he didn't get canceled
People just thought he was an asshole
No I thought he had some
There was some shit
I don't remember
I shouldn't bring it up
But he did have
He did lose
Yeah
I don't know whatever he was doing
That show was sadly
Not the same without him
Silicon Valley
Yeah
Yeah last season was tough
I stuck through it
But you know
It lost some
TJ?
TJ that's it
TJ something
What about
The street fighter movie
yeah um how old's 50 cent 50 50 50 50 50 um let me do my little producing here because he's in
the movie he is Curtis Jackson yeah he's ballrog he's 50 yeah he's 50 I just don't know if
I need my ballrog 50 and I'm 50 um that's a little SNL for you uh okay so there's no no
I'm not I'm just I'm really just I'm curious new street fighter movie yeah I'm I'm I'm I'm
curious because they are obviously spending a lot. They're doing the, they're doing the social
media thing. They've got big names attached to it. Have you ever seen the original street
fighter movie? Yeah. It's big dog shit. Like it's not like good, bad, like the Mortal Kombat
movie. It's just bad bad. Yeah, it sucks. But this, this, they're getting, like, they've got
also, they've got, uh, Mamoa is in this. Mamoa is, is Blanca. Um, Mamoa is Blanca.
Noah Centenio is, uh, is it, there's Raiu and then Ken. Noa Centenio is Ken. Noa Centennial is
Ken. Okay. Well, you got, okay, you're either a Ken guy or a Ryu guy. It's, uh, no, you were a,
I'm a guyal guy who's Cody Rhodes. Okay. I played as the dude with the long arms and legs.
E Honda. No, no, no, no. Dalsala. Dalsim. Dalsim. Yeah, I like that guy. Dalsim is, is somebody
too, but so I just, it's, I don't know, like, what's your, what's your temperature on,
on, on, on the street fighter film? Uh, you know, I'll see it. I, I fully expect it to suck.
because you know it's a it's a movie based on a video game called Street Fighter and uh just
don't really I didn't know I didn't know they were doing this again though I the uh the casting
they have here for Zengif is a perfect casting yeah did the guy that Oliver Richards uh he was in
the most recent season of a reacher he made Alan Richardson who's like a six four six five buff
dude looks small because I think this guy's like 610 and he's just
he looks perfectly for zan geoff that is a perfect casting um never really understood
the whole m bison thing I knew he was like the boss but I never really understood the
lore um or canon if you will um Cody Rhodes guile that checks out I like that um I like that
a lot um but yeah there's a bunch of characters that I don't remember like Eric Andre is some guy
named Don Savage. I'm not familiar with Don't remember Don't
Don't remember Don't Savage I just remember when Street Fighter 2 turbo dropped it
changed everything Andrew Schultz says Dan Hibicki don't remember Dan Hibicki I don't
remember Andrew Schultz noted comedian yeah okay Roman Raines is a kuma like are
these like are these characters that wait they have Eric Andre and Andrew Schultz are in
the new street fighter movie that's correct and 50 cent and Orville Pack is Jason
Vamoa what the hell remember Vega he will climb those fences climb the fence
And then he would jump on your ass.
So, but are they counting on, like, our age group and people that are even older than us who grew up with Street Fighter to go to the theaters?
A little member varies.
It's a nostalgia play.
Because, like, kids don't care about this, right?
The youth?
So have you been to Pins Mechanical yet?
The arcade slash mini bowling alley?
No.
So they've got the free arcade games and I've taken roads.
And we've actually, I'm a great father.
I've let him play Street Fighter.
Because I'm like, oh.
Because you promote violence in your home.
Pretty much.
And I showed it.
And, like, he.
realize really quickly, if he just matches the buttons, like, gets close to me, he can beat me.
He did beat me at one point, which is very, because I'm over here trying to, like,
remember the fireball. And then you beat him IR. I took him home. I showed him how to do the
dragon punch. No, I absolutely, like, I'm over here trying like, oh, wait, I could do the hurricane
kick if I. And he's just, he's just over and over roundhouse kicking me and just destroyed me.
He's like, dad, I won again. I'm like, yeah, I want you not telling you. You're embarrassing me in
friend of my friends um yeah uh street fighter movie okay i'll see it yeah just i don't know
you'll see it when you say you'll see it you mean on streaming yes yeah i'm not there's no
chance i it's pretty good casting overall i was surprised by that there's this has got to be
straight to streaming god there's no way this is hitting theaters who's making it did we do is it
well just erase that question it's corsese right scorcese it's his yeah it's his last
film it doesn't feel that important who's making it but uh yeah i mean i'm trying to think
the Moral Combat movie, the one that was on HBO, I think that one was in theaters for
like a week or two.
Wait, so that one's already out, the Carl Urban is Johnny Cage one?
So that's the sequel to the most recent one.
Okay.
There was one that came out like a couple of years ago, and it was decent.
It was, I enjoyed it.
I think one that the guy that Dylan went to school with was in it.
He was Jacks, the guy with the Bionic Arms, right?
Bionic Arms, yeah, he'd punch you hard.
He went to Anderson, I think, with Dylan.
So it was a good one, but, like, I think this one's getting a lot more hype
and is, like, going to have a theatrical release.
Carl Urban is Johnny Cage and Toranauga is Scorpion.
He was in the first movie, too, the guy that plays Tornaga.
Scorpion?
I think so.
Either that or Sub-Zero.
Like elderly Scorpion?
Yeah, he's too old for Scorpion.
The whole storyline is, like, that Sub-Zero and Scorpion are, like, ancient, ancient things throughout the years.
This guy doesn't know lore.
yeah yeah no i don't know the lore he was pretty uh he'll never be a royal
is that a lord it is yeah yeah yeah i'm lord no but serious question though because that's weird
because i i just feel like keith urban's not the guy to cast not keith urban not not australian
country singer keith urban carl urban he's saying from uh billy i miss the butcher from uh from stranger
not stranger than stranger from the boys from the boys fucking diabolical it's gonna be a sock up
oh yeah yeah all right geez dang man that's gonna be a long night of watching movies and i
cannot wait to watch that movie and go home and sleep on my lisa mattress you can't believe

Live mobile watchers, hit us with the high points.
Heck yeah.
Well, added value high point there.
Yeah.
Heat, too.
Yeah, speaking of a movie that I would like to see in theaters.
Dude, I was shocked.
So you've seen heat.
I have not seen heat in many, many years.
I am absolutely due for a rewatch
This is about a three hours long
Which is why I've not rewatched it
It's been like
So the ringer dudes fucking love heat
Like Bill Simmons is the
He's they've done heat
Rewatchables I think three times
Never shuts up about heat
That's one of the best
That's my Bill Simmons
That's all the Bill Simmons
You're gonna get today
Will does a good bill
Did you say that soup is the perfect food?
That's the best
It's the best have you ever had soup
At Fenway
I think probably not
Billionaires should pay for their own
fucking football stadiums.
That's right.
So he has been on my list to rewatch for a long time.
As Ross noted, I pull it up on the on the apps on the on the services and see that it's
three hours long and frankly I don't know how I don't know how I'm like I famously don't
watch movies anymore and I don't know how you guys watch movies like I don't know how you
find time to watch a movie break it up into six different viewings okay and you knock it out over
the course of a month and a half.
That's how Dylan does it.
Yeah.
Okay.
I used to make fun of Dylan for that.
Now I get it.
So that might be how I have to watch, to rewatch Heat.
It's a good Friday night.
You're not doing anything.
The kid's sleeping and like the wife's watching the crown.
Right.
The multi.
Classic crime thriller.
Yeah.
Stars Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer.
Oh yeah.
Directed by Michael Mann.
Yep.
And he has been gestating on Heat 2.
He even wrote a novel.
Which if you go to look up stuff on Heat 2,
Be careful, because all the heat two plot and spoilers are out there.
Right.
Yeah.
And I don't know what they're going to do for the movie, how much of it, because
prequel and sequel.
That's right.
Yeah.
But this has been a lot, like, it's a cult classic at this point.
It's been long rumored.
Yeah.
It's at Warner Brothers.
They've been hesitant on it.
They've, they've, uh, originally the budget was supposed to be $150 million.
And then they kind of, they, they were lukewarm on it.
And then they were hot on it again.
And Michael Mann came back.
said he needed 200 plus.
The big rumors that have always been floating out there for like the last three years
are Adam Driver, Timmy Shalameh.
Those are the two that would basically play young, what is it, Vince and Neal,
young Pacino and young De Niro characters.
This would be like a prequel.
Yeah.
And then Austin Butler as young Val Kilmer characters.
So we're putting the Dune cast back together.
And then the big news that has been simmering for like the last month is that Leonardo
DiCaprio is.
potentially getting attached to this movie.
Okay.
And so the rumors as of like three weeks ago
were basically that Warner Brothers
were not going to do this
unless they got Leo.
Basically like, yeah, we'll do Heat 2
if you get Leo.
Leo changes everything.
He does.
He's a game changer.
And as of today, basically,
as of today or yesterday,
it's all but confirmed
that he's in for Heat 2.
No shit.
Yeah.
That's wild.
I'd like to see Timmy C.
Try to hold a machine gun.
I bet he could do it.
So don't you underestimate heat.
Don't trust or underestimate Timmy, see?
He's just a slight young man.
Shalomay!
He's a tiny king.
Liza al-Aib.
I've never seen heat.
Would you consider more like a drama or an action movie?
It's a crime thriller.
It's a crime thriller.
Okay.
Has Leo ever been in like an action movie?
Yeah.
The Revenant had a lot of action.
I mean, like inception has a lot of action.
Okay, I guess so.
Yeah, nice question.
blood diamond.
I guess I just don't think
when I think Leo
I don't think explosions
I don't think Dylan movies
It's not actually movie like
It's not Michael Bayfield
It's not Jack Ryan or whatever
Or Jack Reacher
I don't fucking reacher
I don't fucking reacher sick
It's it's dude it's a great movie
Randy like Reacher
And she's got a great ass
That's my Pacino
You got your head
All the way up in it
So Pacino said
I call him Pacino
I'm a film guy
Pacino said when they asked him like hey your character and he the cob he was a little over the top what was going on he's like well originally he was supposed to be his quote was chip and cocaine but in the movie they don't really show any of that so the whole he claims that like the script or whatever when he was preparing for the character the character was just kind of like very like a cokehead kind of would be out of nowhere bombastic and wild real hopped up and then they just cut and then it's just like he just did all that scenes and he just did all that
Coke for nothing? I get. And it's just like, oh, he's just got a very eccentric cop. And if you've
seen heat, which you go watch it again, you're going to be like, what the fuck's his deal?
It's great, though. It's a great movie. He's a bit of an overactor, Pacino, famously.
It's Pacino. Didn't seem to hold on to his money all too well. No, he had a kid very late.
Yeah. He had to be in Jack and Jill because he was broke. Yeah. Is that true? Yeah.
Who else is in Jack and Jill?
Bill.
Adam Sandler.
That's the Adam Sandler movie.
Playing two roles, right?
Pacino had to do a musical number in a Dunkin' Donuts to pay off his taxes in Jack
and Jill.
That doesn't sit right with me.
Yeah, I swear to God.
Oh.
Celebrbs are just like us, you know, some of them aren't good with money.
Nicholas Cage, by Golden Poilett.
I feel like if you were the star of the Godfather, Aunt Godfather 2, even Godfather 3,
like it's just kind of like do that money is just going to keep rolling in dude i don't think it worked
that way in the 70s you know no it didn't get back in points like he was a theater actor and a godfather
one a broadway guy really yeah famously uh he almost got fired from the godfather one that's true
studio wanted him gone these guys uh you know they're they're they get uh they get the lifestyle
bloat just like us yeah did that podcast money did he not get like a bunch of royalties for every single
poster that was in everyone's dorm room?
No, he did not.
He did not. You're talking about Scarface.
Yeah.
Still not sure if Scarface is a good movie.
Johnny Depp.
Enjoyable, yeah.
Getting 50 million every time Jack Sparrow hits the screen and anybody's spending 300 grand a
month on wine, you know what I mean?
That's too much money on wine.
That's the type of thing.
That's a lot of money.
If you're spending that much on wine, are you kind of like, are you just married to
alcohol forever?
It's like, my biggest, like, I've got this.
It's an asset here.
It's like, I got to keep drinking.
I'm married to the game. It's kind of my thing now. I'm the wine guy. I saw I got hit
with a with a TikTok of some kid with a broccoli haircut that I think he's the one that like
crashed his Ferrari or something like that. Is he okay? He was fine. Oh, that little white
boy? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's anyway, he's like, I hate that fucking kid. Yeah, it's really,
really infuriating. He's, I think he's based in Florida. Anyway, I looked up as net worth.
you know, the internet will give you an estimate.
And it's only like, it's estimated two and a half to seven million dollars a dude is sitting
in a house that's worth five, that's worth five.
Not that much after taxes.
Millions of dollars of cars that he's constantly showing off.
Jack Doherty?
Yes, that's the one.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just getting slapped around constantly in front of the security.
Yeah, I, I think where I was going with this is that you can make a lot of money and you
can spend a lot of money.
It's true.
You can.
You can have a lot of rowdiness, too.
Yeah, we have a lot of fun.
We also have a lot of rowdiness.
you understand to a scale
Ross is famously sober
so he doesn't know the joys of an A&M
tailgate with Bud Light Lime
Well I did once
Did you ever have a Bud Light Lime though
What was that guy's title
Would they give him the
Bud Light's ultimate tailgater
Like no one has ever tailgated
Was Bud Light Lime out back then?
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Okay
Bud Light Lime
Honestly kind of ahead of it's time
It was it was
I'll fuck with a with a lime and salt
You know
Cervas
I got a non-alcoholic October Fest themed beer this past weekend.
Hell yeah.
Hey, I'm still, I'm still cool.
Does it give you a headache?
No.
Who's doing an N.A. October Fest?
Athletic.
Athletic?
Okay.
Yeah.
Dude, the N.A. section at Central Market grows by the week.
We out here.
It's, I mean, it's impressive what they got out there.
I don't know who's paying $25 for a four pack of Gia's, but they're there.
I had a high name.
When I was in Colorado in Vail, it was at Altitude, Randy.
And the guys, our buddy, our mutuals, Tyler and our buddy, Dan, different Dan.
They were like, we're going to go out after dinner and nobody else was going out as a last night.
So went back to this bar we'd been going to and it was like, I was like, I got to get up at like five in the morning tomorrow.
So Tyler does not drink anymore.
He was drinking Hineken Zero's and I went to the bar to get him drinks.
And I just like, I'm going to just drink Heineken Zeros.
That's good.
Tasted good.
Those are fine, yeah.
But anyway, I was like, I didn't tell the other guy that I had abandoned him on the drinking thing.
So I just kept buying him, his out, yeah, whatever he wanted.
And I'm just over.
He couldn't tell that I was just drinking Heineken Zeros for an hour.
So I actually was fine the next morning because I smartly, this is part of being 41.
Yeah.
You know I'm 41 now?
41.
Yeah.
41 years young.
Okay.
You're saying age is Dylan.
You're a kid.
Dylan's nine months older to me, so.
When's he turned 42?
October or something?
Oh, yeah.
Like 20.
Hey, can we come back to Leo for a hot sec?
Oh, yeah.
Date some young.
DiCaprio.
I like PTA.
I like Leo.
The trailers for this new movie, I don't know what's happening.
They're not marketing it well.
They're not marketing it well.
And then even the one, what brandy, what's it called?
One bullet at a time.
It's the new...
Fuck, I can't hear it.
I'll Google it while you...
Okay, so the trailers are lacking something, I will say.
Okay.
And then last night, watching the Monday Night Football Games, there's...
One battle after another.
One battle after another.
There's now another trailer that they were doing during the games where, like, they'd take
a scene from the movie where Leo's on a pay phone, and they have him calling, but they chop
up the discussion that he's having so that Peyton Manning is on the other line.
I hate it.
What are they doing?
Why?
And I just, like, okay, like, for like some giant blockbuster fun movie, okay, but Leo in a Paul
Thomas Anderson film, and they're chopping up a scene and making jokes with Peyton Manning?
I don't like when they do this period.
It was really, really weird.
The NBA does this very poorly as well.
It'll be like John Morant, like a giant John Morant like walking in to like a Godzilla movie.
And I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah.
What is this?
But see, that makes sense for Godzilla.
like yeah i follow but in like you know for a marvel movie or something that may might make sense
it is insane to try to pull that off for a paul thomas anderson that's what i'm saying this is just
like supposed to be highbrow it's probably going to get nominated for 12 Oscars and they're like
they're doing this weird Peyton manning bit with it i was just very confused you know you don't
really think that leo's going to get caught up in a movie that's going to have to do some
patent man that's exactly exactly yeah yeah i'm just waiting but you just don't expect that
I feel like he's probably mad about this.
Yeah.
I imagine so.
Like the guy won't even host SNL.
Like he does not, he's not like a, like a, no.
He doesn't really do a lot of laughs.
He's probably so mad that he went home and started dating a new 24 year old.
Yeah.
I'm waiting for the devil in the white city.
I feel like that was now so long ago where he's, it's,
Leo was supposed to star in the Martin Scorsese.
I think it's a TV miniseries.
I bought that book.
in 2007.
So is that the next Scorsese film?
I can't tell if it's going to be a film or a miniseries, but it seems like it's been delayed.
Like the first time I heard about it, it seems so long ago.
If you're not aware of it, it's about, like, the guy that had the Chicago murder
castle back in, like, way back in the day during, like, the World Fair.
The murder castle?
Like, he, like, from what I remember, it's just like, he had, he was, like, a serial killer
and he had his, like, a mansion and, like, a basement dungeon where he killed people.
Okay.
And it's based on a true story.
It's supposed to play the murderer?
He's supposed to.
The titular devil.
I did in the Heat 2 thing that Dave sent us, the little, like the, not a news release,
it's like a substack column or something.
It does mention that they want to shoot Heat 2 in 2026, and it says that Leo will probably
shoot that and the new Scorsese film in 26 so that they might be filming next year.
Interesting.
Okay.
Well, on to more repressing things.
We've got a cheating scandal in the World Rock or World Stone Skimming Championships.
Skimming.
They're calling it skimming?
Is that a skipping?
I was always a skipping.
Yeah.
Skip rocks.
Skimming rocks.
Both work, right?
I don't think I've ever heard of skimming.
Well, you see the stone skims the water.
It does skim.
You have the skimmer board if you go to the beach, which I've always been scared to try because
by the time I found out those were cool, I was too old.
Yeah.
When I was at Porte Day this summer, I saw like a.
a 10-year-old boy just skimming so hard.
And my first thought was I would blow out both my knees if I tried to do that right now.
Yeah.
Loved it when I was a youth, though.
I think it's one of those things that you really have to commit to it and go all.
And you can't just like, all right, I'm going to just ease into the skimmerboard because it doesn't work unless you go full throttle.
Fear is the mind killer.
Yeah.
That's why Ross just sticks to boogie boardy.
He's big on the boogie.
I love to boogie.
You love to boogie.
I did some boogie boarding in Port, eh?
Yeah.
You know what?
You get a day or two where you'll get some waves that are boogie boardable.
Gets choppy out there, man.
It gets a little choppy.
It does.
But yeah, Randy, if you could pull up the article here, the World Stone Skimming Championships have been rocked by a cheating scandal after several competitors were disqualified for tampering.
You guys in on this?
You guys see this?
I have seen this, yeah.
So how do you cheat at skimming?
We're skipping rocks.
Let me tell you, Ross, or I'll let, Dave, if you've got a quote pulled up.
Well, it looks, it looks like there is a little bit of stone doctoring.
Loaded stones?
Like loaded dice at the casino?
The shape.
Oh, they deflate them slightly, like the pets?
No, I don't really know how you would, look, see that thing?
That thing measures to make sure it's an acceptable stone.
Okay.
And people allegedly were doctoring them to be more circular.
You're supposed to pick up a natural stone from the bank of a,
from a lock,
to the bank of a lock, if you will.
In college, Ross and I picked up
a lot of naturals and stones.
Here you go.
If you guys were,
if you guys were wondering,
Dr. Matthew is also known as the toss master.
The toss master.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Dude,
Ross used to be known as the,
I'm just kidding.
We're having fun.
Heard rumors of murmurings
of some nefarious deeds.
Yeah, they were,
so they were instead of just getting
natural stones,
you know, untouched,
just shaped by nature,
they were taking them home.
and they were, you know, putting a little perfection on them.
They were smoothing them out, making them flatter.
Guess what this device is that they use to measure the stones
and make sure that they're appropriate.
I just saw it in the description.
The Ring of Truth.
Hell yeah.
Okay.
That's a little much.
The ring of truth.
It's a little much.
Lord of the Rings, am I right?
Yeah.
Scotland, though.
That's all I got on Scotland.
Yeah, you know, this is fun.
People are surprised to learn that this is a thing.
But this is a, you know what?
If I'm ever at a pond or a lake and there's a kid and who's really good at skipping rocks or skimming them, I'll stop and watch. I'll have hand on the hips. Like, I'll be damned. That looks like a lot of fun. Yeah. And then I'll just walk off because I'll hurt my shoulder if I try. Now you're going to see that and you're just going to have to wonder if that kid was doctoring those stones. Hey, buddy. Come here. Come here. Come here real quick. Let me see the rest of your stones there, bud. Are those stones even street legal? Let me see this stone. I pull out my own ring of truth. Yeah. I've got a thing on you. Hey, pal. Why don't you stand right there, buddy. Actually, you don't you want you have a seat there on the curb, pal.
Have a seat.
When I went camping a couple months ago in the Pacific Northwest with a couple of friends.
And they kept on talking about this guy who was showing up later that was like,
this guy, he can skip rocks like amazingly.
And like, they kept hyping him up.
That's his rep.
That was his rep.
And when he got there, he lived up to it.
Sure enough.
Was it the toss master himself?
I don't know.
Like, I was, I was finding good rocks.
And I'm like, oh, this is a good one.
I'm going to give it to him because it was phenomenal.
Oh, Randy, that's pathetic.
I was still put, I was still skipping my own rocks.
You cuffed yourself for this man.
Dude, if you saw the way that he was skipping these rocks, it was fucking amazing.
He was like getting fucking 30 skips across the whole river.
This game isn't for me anymore.
I'm just going to give the good ones I find to this gentleman.
Okay, if you're not, if you see Michael Jordan.
I hear you, I hear you.
You're going to give him a basketball to dunk.
You pass MJ the Rock.
I get it.
It's still a little sad.
You conveniently left that out of your trip recap.
Yeah.
rock cucked the rock cuck himself stone cuck um speaking of toss what's your
favorite pizza poison austin toss on south first is underrated for me it's called toss i think that's
um i think that's a trash take dave that it's that it's underrated you think it's properly
rated or you think it just i don't i don't think you can be talking i don't think toss belongs
in the conversation but saying it's goaded yeah
I'm not, I'm not saying it's, uh,
does not go to with the sauce or what,
what do you say on retail therapy?
Is it that orotype shit twin?
Yeah, is it that or type shit twin?
You getting yourself about six, seven pizzas when you go to toss?
I have a family of four.
It's a visual show.
He did the thing.
Well, I just, I'm curious.
I, look, I don't live near a home slice.
I'm not, I'm not lucky enough to live near home slice.
I don't ever get it.
And it's all Will and Dylan.
talk about like to oh my god i'm a huge i'm a huge home slice guy home slice is good and i'll door dash it
or i will drive the 15 minutes to pick it up does it stay good door dash because i know where you live

No he wasn't
I watched him live on the YouTube
Oh
Oh welcome back
Dylan had shorts on too man
I didn't know that rule
Y'all tell me shit
Dylan also put his feet up there
And I'm just like, stop doing it.
Dylan gets a pass because he's
He's got beautiful bronze.
I mean, you're looking kind of tan too.
There's a reason I'm wearing jeans today.
Let me just say it.
I'm just not going to blind you all with salt of my legs.
He throws his feet up with the pasty whites.
Sitting down, I'm seeing the quad.
I'm seeing the hamstring where they come together.
Well, we're in that phase of the year
where I'm not ready for pants yet, but I want to be.
And I haven't worn pants in months.
Many months.
Yeah.
And I'm going through my closet and I'm looking at these pants I've got and I'm going,
these pants all suck.
So I can't pick a pair of pants.
That's why we love rag and bone.
For three days in a row now.
For three days in a row now.
Are they a sponsors?
It's about to be a read.
A potential upcoming sponsor alert.
Oh, okay.
Oh, yeah.
Not today.
Fun.
I don't know why I did that.
It just sounded like you were really added value.
Outed value.
I hope they're watching.
Added prevalue.
I let Brett know about that.
You have to be careful with the prevalue.
He quit.
earlier.
Yeah.
He quit during the underdog read.
Uh, yeah, no, I, uh, do you would,
Russell post his little home gym on there.
I say little.
He's got the squat rack.
He's got the whole kit.
He's got a legit home gym.
Yeah, it's not fair.
It's not really fair.
No.
My, uh, my garage is just a storage unit.
For beers?
Uh, for ice cold.
No, it's for like baby stuff and holiday stuff.
And there is at least a mattress against the back wall, which is fine.
It's like properly in a storage, uh, thing, zipped up.
Yeah, yeah, Ross and I are going to come to.
Yeah.
I was going to say you're going to be here the rest of the day, right?
What are y'all going to do with it?
You're both going to steal?
Well, I just kind of need a new one, frankly.
We're both in the market.
We're going to cut it in half.
That's the thing about it.
You can cut it in half.
Yeah.
You left that detail out of the read.
It's like a lizard tail, and it just regenerates.
Two beds for one.
But yeah, anyway, Ross is working out.
Yeah.
Work out sometimes.
Yeah.
Got to stay fit.
Sometimes I'm always thinking about working out, and I'm always like, man, I wish there was
like a good way to work out, like how to design a website, all the other stuff that's involved
with that. That's why I love Squarespace.
Of course, yeah. I think the same.

Are you guys
Pablo Torre, guys?
So I'm a Bill Simmons guy.
Oh, the new investigative sports
journalist who's just making it
fucking can.
He's just fucking, he's disrupting.
He's disrupting.
Did you see his new one?
New one today.
No.
Brain co.
The hell is that?
It is like, uh, it is like they measure brain waves and stuff by putting, uh, like these
headbands and a lot of top elite athletes use them, like, uh, the best tennis player in the world,
Skinner.
He's Italian.
Sinner.
Sinner.
Sounds like something LeBron James would use.
Brown James.
He doesn't, he's not a name.
Whatever.
Long story short, he exposed their ties to China, CCP, communist.
Anyway, he's just been everywhere.
He broke the Steve Balmer story.
He did Hawaii story.
Kauai, and that seems to be getting bigger.
People are like, oh, no, don't do Jalen Brunson.
Yeah.
And I'm like, oh, no, don't look into the Cowboys.
I hope Jerry Jones, I'd lose a team.
Just kidding.
He did a big one on, he did a big expose on Belichick and Jordan Hudson.
That was his first.
Right. And that one is, which is, so he can't, that's why I mentioned Simmons, because he came on, Simmons him got into a little riff.
Yeah, they beef. He came on Simmons to like hash it out. And Simmons was unprepared. Pablo Torre sounded like an asshole. Like they both, they both kind of came out of that looking a little bit less than. Was Simmons just mad because it was his. Okay. Yeah. That checks out. Yeah. Because it was a. It was a. And it hadn't even listened to the pod to the Pablo podcast to like be prepared to like. Typically you should listen. I listen to every OCC. That's why.
But then Pablo Tori mentioned that he was like a Peabodio winning journalist, no less than 10 times.
Okay.
That's a little excessive.
That's too many times.
Didn't Bill say you're not an investigative reporter or journalist?
Yeah, that was part of like the tweet is that like, yeah, that he, he questioned Pablo's bona fides.
What was the expose on Belichick and that young lady, Jordan Hudson or whatever?
What did it expose?
Basically like emails from UNC about like how involved she was and the day to day and all this stuff.
she was trying to run, but...
I have no interest in that at all.
I do not care.
A lot of people wouldn't, but you have A, the age gap between her and Bill Belichick,
and B, she's smoking hot.
That, yeah, that helps.
Yeah, the other piece of it that I think made it, like, sort of important news is that
Belichick is the highest paid employee in the state of North Carolina now and, like, hired
a bunch of his friends and family who are also all making seven figures plus.
And it's like, and it's just like, hey, did we?
what are they doing, is Jordan Hudson controlling the entire show here?
Like, it just, like, got, like, his son is on staff.
Got a little sketchy.
What about schools?
This guy's worried about schools, not ball.
They got to pay the teachers.
No, no, we're talking ball.
Fucking bill.
Remember that first drive that they had?
UNC.
That's good drive.
Great drive.
TCU, sneaky good.
Randy, do you know they give out Peabody Awards?
How many of those do you have?
This guy, what's the bed?
Peabody.
For journalism?
I don't know.
I don't either.
I think it's journalism.
Oh, that's cool.
Anyway, you've been, what?
Torre.
You've been checking out the pod?
Is interesting to me.
No, I have not been checking out his pod.
But it's just funny to have this dude who's like, you know where I'm going to break news?
Fucking sports.
Yeah.
All right, dude.
Get in there.
I like it.
It was time.
We needed a disruptor.
Which NBA team, okay, assuming it's not the Clippers, what NBA team, what franchise would you like, would you have loved him to disrupt?
Because there's a chance, I think, outside chance that this is a big enough deal to where he has to sell the team or something.
The best, I mean, the maps.
That's where all the good conspiracies are.
The Adelson's tanking the team so they can move it to Vegas.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's Aniko Harrison.
What was he thinking?
Mark Cuban.
Why did they say he was going to be the governor for three more years?
but then they dumped his ass immediately.
Yeah, you'd think a man with Mark's business knowledge would get it in the,
in the four corners of the agreement.
Yeah, yeah.
By the way, he's been, he's now the new befer with Torre.
He's been coming to Steve Balmer's.
He has.
And he's doing the thing that makes me wonder.
I'm like, um.
Well, and so he, and so now there, again, to talk Mavs, like, now everybody keeps bringing
up how Dirk Novitsky took like the sweetest hometown deal ever 10 years ago or whatever.
Um, so they're like, okay, this is, we're, we're.
What do we not know?
Why did he take such a big discount, Mark?
I thought it was just his European sensibilities.
Maybe so.
He values some things more than money, maybe.
Like family.
But yeah, Mark is doing the thing where he's really, really riding for Balmer.
Yeah.
And I'm just like, ooh, you're doing a lot.
You're kind of makes me wonder, are you doing it so we don't look under the hood,
the Mav's hood, your hood?
Yeah.
But next, you mentioned the Knicks, Brunson.
That would be another good one too.
James Dolan, you know he's up to some shady shit.
They got World Wide West over there attached, like, he's doing, he's pulling all sorts of strings.
Brunson's dad got hired by the team.
Yeah, there's a Mavs tie in there, too.
There's all sorts of stuff.
Mavs had a chance to sign him early on.
I would like to see him go after the, uh, the PGA live tour thing.
Hmm.
Cause I need for the third year in a row someone to explain to me what in the hell is going on.
Yeah.
Dude, they're going to happen.
That's a good boss.
They've been saying this for three years.
No, man.
Our deal is, we're a deal is close.
We're about to settle this once and for all.
Everybody's going to be fine.
Golf will go back to not being such a shit show.
That's great.
But it's still, it's just, nothing's changed.
Nothing's happened.
It's not great.
Get in there, Pablo.
It's not, it's not great.
Put focusing on Belichick.
At this point, they just, they really, they just, they, mostly they just need a deal for
Bryson to come back.
Bryson just should be allowed to play both tours.
Everybody else, they can just stay on live.
Bryson has sneaky become like the most powerful man in golf with his YouTube stuff.
And he would be, I mean, he's a great, he's a great villain.
Like he's an amazing golfer and he and Sheffler, I just feel like her to like.
I would love for them to to be like that.
I actually like Bryson, he's doing shit.
I don't watch all of his YouTube, but like he played like Prairie Lakes and Grand Prairie.
Of course, I grew up playing like every weekend stuff.
And he went and played it to see if he could shoot break 60 or something.
something. Okay. And it was great. It was just him playing a muni, like a $50 muni.
How'd he do? Uh, couldn't putt. And I think it was probably because the greens weren't great,
but I think he shot like 68 or something. Um, but he's great. He's great. And you need,
you need characters like that on tour. Scottie's great too, obviously like, but, but you need,
you need, you need, you need to see more personality. Yeah, you do. You do. Yeah. Ross,
what say you? I've been so out on golf.
It was the last time you played?
The post-Tiger era has lost me.
Your 40th?
Where do we play?
I don't know.
Oh, we played out Bastrop play.
Mm-hmm.
Yep.
I wasn't invited.
That was the last time I played.
You don't even play, you don't even play Butler.
He's scared to play Butler Pitchin' Putt.
I have a pretty cool golf bag.
He's wearing a Butler Pitchin Pitchin Puts shirt today.
Oh, you're, I'm a poser.
I'm a poser.
That's all right.
Okay.
Biggest golfer here right now, Randy.
Yeah.
But that was the last time I played.
And prior to that, it was before 2020.
Randall Trumbacky.
So I played once in five years and it was for your birthday.
Well, I feel honored that you should make you feel good.
You made it out for that.
It was a great event.
Swinging the sticks with the fellas.
Barrett, how's, I want to close.
How's the baby?
How's the dad life going?
Anything you want to ask Ross, you got a couple great dads here.
Let's talk about procreation.
Let's talk about parenting.
It's pretty good right now.
We're in a nice little rhythm, you know, coming up on four months.
So expecting a bit of a regression.
That's what people say anyways.
Sleep regression, yeah.
Yeah, that's why you stayed up late last night.
You're in a rhythm.
You're feeling it.
You're feeling yourself.
You think you've got it.
Yeah, a little heat check there.
You got a little cocky, stayed up a little late.
Now your fucking month is ruined.
It was a bit, it was sort of a heat check.
Yeah, I know what that's like.
Yeah.
But the sleep, the overnight sleep is good.
She's been doing the thing.
I think she inherited my.
and Nate Bomo, which is, so like, like bedtime rolls around and it just all hell breaks
loose.
She just does not want to go down.
Do you know what I mean?
Because she don't want to miss the party.
Yeah, and I feel like it's because she's like, no, no, no, no, this is bedtime.
I know what this means.
This means the day is over and I have to, I got to go to sleep for many, many hours.
I don't want to do that.
Yeah.
Because I feel like I have that, you know.
You definitely do.
Yeah.
So I don't know.
I think that that's, that's.
You didn't want to miss out on Raiders' charts.
You coughed up two hours of sleep for the 9 p.m. Monday night. Do you all have a random team that you just like? Because mine's the chargers. I just like the chargers are in that category. Bills. Bills are always my second favorite. But chargers are there too just because I like Harbaugh. I like, I like, um, I like San Diego. I like San Diego anymore, but they'll always be San Diego in my heart. And I like, I don't know. I like Herbert for some reason. So I just, I, I always seem to have multiple chargers on my fantasy team. I like the chargers. I'll, I stay up to watch. I think
the dolphins. I've always enjoyed
their colors in middle school. One of my
buddies had a Dolphins cheerleader calendar
and, uh, getting boners.
Bling.
Dolphins cheerleaders used to get a lot of run.
Ace Ventura. Yeah, and I feel like
they had those poster or those calendars
and all the hooters and stuff too. Like hooters and
the dolphins cheerleaders were like, we're doing
some cross promo. Yeah. I wish they were.
I mean, what? Oh yeah. Do not go in there.
What's the line? Woo!
Is it do not go in there? Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah. Randy went to Twin Peaks one time, hung over, and ordered a Blue Moon.
Just speaking of restaurants.
What's wrong with that?
No, I don't know. He just had any left.
The Blue Moon didn't treat him well.
Anyway, Twin Peaks.
Didn't Nico Harrison get accosted by some rabid fans at Twin Peaks?
He made the mistake, and Will noted this on the pod.
Great point, but Will.
He went on like a Friday or Saturday night to the Addison, Texas Twin Peaks,
sat in the most noteworthy table
right by the street with the window open
and it was like, you're at Twin Peaks
in a big Dallas suburb and like
you didn't even add in the weirdest element
wasn't he with his daughter?
He was in his daughter.
Who the fuck takes their daughter to Twin Peaks?
It's just a weird move.
You ever had their pool pork nachos?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's not bad.
It's a decent menu.
It's okay.
I mean, the food, it's fine,
But, like, restaurants, I don't, I've always, this has always been my restaurant take.
I don't like mixing sex and food like George Costanza.
I don't like that.
I never eat at a strip club.
I've never eaten it a strip club.
I don't like hooters.
I don't like Twin Peaks.
I don't like these things being mashed together, titties and ass and wings and fries.
You've never eaten sushi off a naked lady?
No, never been offered.
I don't like it.
Even like in the heyday when you were getting New York Times money.
I would go with y'all, but I didn't like it.
I was I was just sucking it up strip clubs make me uncomfortable with period but hooters though
like I know people who would go to get a steak at the strip club at noon or whatever because
they got great deals that's fucking crazy to me that's the most degenerate thing I've ever heard
you can't do that but you can't go to dude I there's times listen I've been driving back from
one time we were driving back from Padre Island like it's probably a decade ago driving through
San Antonio driving through Selma it's like oh hooters she's like I could eat some chicken strips
So I'm like, I can eat some wings and other stuff.
And I know anyway, we accidentally ate Hooters is the moral of the story.
Okay.
It was fucking.
Dude, Hooters is good.
What was that raining?
If Dylan was on this podcast right now, Rossi'd be very upset with you.
He doesn't like the P word?
No.
Well, he really hates the other word.
Cock.
Cock.
He hates cock.
Oh.
I was like vagina?
That one upsets him.
Just hates cock.
He also.
it's the word epic epic cock that would upset him a lot that would really get him going i'm
going to text him that right now just no context i've been texting him probably in a year and a half
this will make his trip yeah say like hey man i hope there's some epic cock up there at fenway
hope there's some epic he knows you're doing the show he's going to know this is just show
adjacent or just straight up on the show um anything else you all want to talk about
Emmys or anything?
Who won?
I don't know.
Let me think.
That was all you had from parenting land
is that it's going well right now?
Wow, must be nice.
All right.
Well, we got interrupted by the restaurant
Epic Cock conversation.
So back to my daughter.
Oh.
Two in peaks.
No, it's good.
Like I said, she's three
and three months and some change.
And, like, I feel like that's, it is kind of a sweet spot because she's so much, she's so much fun.
She's, like, got this bright smile in the morning.
Like, it's just, they've, they're getting the personality and a little bit, it's like a little bit more each and every day.
And I think for dads, it takes, it's kind of that I would, honestly, for any new dads out there, for anybody whose wife's pregnant or about to have a kid, whatever it might be, like, takes like three months to really, like, I don't know.
Get some momentum.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're just a potted plant before.
To really start feeling like that, like, true kind of, like, parenting bond type of thing.
Well, because they can't even really see you.
Yeah.
For the first couple months.
They can't even really make out what color, right?
For a while.
And mom's just so, so much further ahead of you.
It has this, like, kind of innate connection to the, to the child.
And, like, it just, it takes a minute for, for, for dads to, like.
Yeah, mom's got it easy.
Pick, pick that all up.
God.
Got it really late, man.
Are you getting up in the middle of the night?
Are y'all, how are y'all, how are you all divided?
up the duties. I, I, I help in the middle of the night. So, like, I'm like, I kind of like pop out,
get her out, change the diaper. Okay. And then she lets me go back to sleep. Nice. Yeah.
So you're playing it right. But I, I don't, I don't like, dude, I just have like, I,
even if she was like, don't worry about it. I got this. You can just sleep through. I would have
immense guilt about that. I think I would just wake up anyways. Yeah. Dad guilt would get you.
Yeah. You got to at least like wake up. And,
like, oh, oh, I'm getting up, oh, no, I'm good, all right, well.
Oh, you got it?
You just let me know, I'll be here, definitely not sleeping.
But, like, I mean, to your point, like, we all know how, how hard, how hard moms work.
Yeah.
Moms make the world go around.
Tubbs's job in the world, am I right?
Yeah.
But seriously, watching it, like, firsthand is, it's, it's an insane workload.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's where the guilt comes from.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because you know you're incapable by comparison.
Yeah.
I mean, like, every mom, you know, your mom, you're up and trying to just scrapping for sleep.
And then your husband is up watching Raiders Chargers, just flunting it in your face.
He's like, I don't need sleep.
I'm different.
With his hand on his epic cock, just sitting there watching Raiders Chargers while you're
big, fantasy implications.
Trying to get the baby back down.
Keenan Allen's back.
Yeah, we're not as capable.
Big AFC West matchup.
Yeah.
Best division in the league.

Yeah.

Maybe you want to do a wire rewatch with us on Patreon.com
slash Oysters Claims Cockles or about halfway through season one.
I'm getting the sense, you guys, by the way, maybe for those of you that have watched
all of the wire, season one kind of seems like where it's at.
I know all the seasons are good, but like we're halfway through season one.
I feel like I've seen 75% of the memes already.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, season one is one of the best seasons of television ever made.
The wire on the whole is great.
Season one is sort of a standout culture shift in television history.
Yeah.
You know.
I agree with that.
Oh, indeed.
You'll see some, like, some ball kneller memes coming up, though.
Season two.
And then, like, get into snoo.
Yeah, you'll get some.

I will.
Sure, why not?
You serve it to me.
Great character.

Mark Ruffalo.
No, no, no, no, Mark Ruffalo.
Robby.
Tom Pelfrey.
Robbie.
Robbie, like, I look at Robbie, and I'm like, was this supposed to be Taylor Kitch?
Could this have been Taylor Kitch?
They got a similar look.
They just have, like, the high cheekbone and, I don't know.
For some reason, he's reminding me of Jim Carrey.
Really?
Yeah.
Hmm.
You watched Ozark?
I watched the first season.
Okay, he's in, like, season two and three of Ozark.
Really?
This guy, he's incredible.
He's amazing.
I like him.
Tom Pelfrey is the actor.
He's awesome.
He looks great.
Amelia Jones, his niece, Maeve, also incredible.
Oh.
Yeah.
Okay.
Dylan responded, lots, I said, hope there's some epic cock up there at Fenway.
And he said lots of hot New England dick running around.
So he won't even say it.
He won't even acknowledge that you said it.
He's just got like some kind of like cock, what is it?
Cot block.
He's cockphobic.
He's cockphobic.
And we didn't address that one of these days.
All right.
Y'all should do an episode on that.
