Maddo Ranchos, Maddo Ranchos. Ha ha. All right, we're back. Thursday morning. Circling Back podcast. Welcome. My name is Dave. Got to be quite the show today.

Producing Randall Trebaki. Hi, Dave. I was not made aware of that. Now you're putting me on the spot. I didn't know it was going to be quite the show. Your last show for a while. Wow. Or you're kind of produced. I don't know what you're doing Monday. I'll come in. I'll be coming in Monday. You've really, you've really made it confusing.

Dan will be producing. I just want to at least be there to be able to talk about the meetup, since it's probably going to be our meetup episodes post-meab. You want to control the narrative. Yeah, sure. I get it. But also like our post-meatup episodes are usually the most viewed ones. And you don't, you want that face time. Yeah. And also, you know, people want to hear, you know, what we're talking about. They want to hear a young man's perspective. Yeah, I want to shout out the backers that I talk to and have good conversations with just as much as you guys do, you know?

That's real sweet. I love shouting out every backer I talked to at a meetup. It's going to be a long list, Fannie's. You better bring a notepad or something. Sounds good. We'll do. No, I'll just keep it all in my head like a waiter at a restaurant. Did I hate, I fucking hate that shit?

It doesn't really affect me unless they get it wrong. The burden of proof is on them. When I waited wrong. When I waiter did it the other night, he had to come back. around and ask again what the name of the bottle of wine is that we ordered. Yeah. You know, are you talking about a J. Carver? Yes.

That was a big table. It was a big table, obnoxious table because you had... If it's a group of four, okay. Go off, King. Yeah. When it's 12? You had multiple people trying to get bits off whilst the waiter was talking to the table. Yeah.

I'm pointing out there. I'm pointing in here. guilty. That's pretty impressive. And I was just like, dude, can y'all let the guy? Like, just let him. It's Tuesday night. Everyone's doing stand-up.

I was trying to get orders. The guy said he had salad options and I asked, do you have a wedge salad? And I was like trying to get you to get a wedge salad again. He's like, no. Yeah, like, okay. He's not familiar with the wedge salad bit from the show most likely. You don't even do anymore. That used to be your thing.

You used to be the wedge salad guy. You were the wedge salad guy. What was the last time you even had a wedge salad? Been a while. Honestly, been a while. I fuck with a wedge. You're a phony. I kind of pivoted.

You're a fake. C's ain't in it, dog. Are you kidding? The C's at Sammies? Are you kidding? You know, I'm not a big Sammies guy. Dude, call him a C's on sorry. No, I didn't know.

You don't like Sammies? That was bad. I think it's good. I think it's overpriced for what you get. The ambiance, you can't beat it. And for that reason, I enjoy going. And the food's good. It's just not worth the value ain't there for me.

Homeboy. Man. You feel me? Look in the mirror. Shit. is Will here? Who just showed up? I think it's Will.

Sauce hasn't showed up in a while. I'll go peek out. Yeah, what's sauce up to? He texts me, I respond, and then he follows up 24 hours later. This has been a thing he's been doing. What's his problem? He's maugging on you. Yeah, I guess he is.

I didn't realize it, but he doesn't put it that way. You don't have to text. I'm going to text him out. Will DeFreeze in the building. Dylan Shivery. Where have you been? fam is what I'm sending sauce right now that's because that's gonna read is like an invitation to come up here he's got to be here he's gonna he's gonna he said you five texts in a row yeah

Why's that? I want to talk Luigi Primo for just... Primo? For just a whole hour. Yeah, I said Primo. It's all right, man. Primo. Primo. It's a me. Luigi Primo. Primo. Right, ma'am. Can need you do a little bit more with that intro, hoss. You want more? Yeah, I just want like a good intro. I want one that's going to really set the tone today.

Premal. For the meetup. I'm pretty stoked. I'm going to be just hammering, absolutely hammering frosty boys. You put a frosty boy in front of me, it's going to get hammered. That's all I'm saying. How's that, David?

Mr. Hammerhan's over here. Yeah, that's right. Sounds good. Three texts. He sent me three texts in a matter of four, like four seconds. And? How's it going? He said, you see the cartel stuff?

Yeah, uh, yeah, that's where I've been. What is that? Has he been in Mexico? Oh, I think he is going to Mexico City this weekend. Oh. And he just sent me another one with a video that I'm not going to watch. This was a mistake. Yeah.

There's something about it. Somebody sends me a YouTube, like a link to a YouTube in a text. I'm probably not opening it. I don't know why. You should subscribe to our YouTube, but I'm just saying like, give me just a video file. I don't want, yeah, I don't want to. Don't redirect me. I don't want to open up an application on my phone.

Daddy hates being redirected. You know what? I don't have Google Chrome on my phone. I did download it, but like, since deleted it. And I'm on Safari and I Google something and it's like, do you want to stay in browser? Dude, I hate that question. And the way that they do it is they make the, like, the blue text, the not the one that you want to do in.

Dude, I'm so over that shit. It's so annoying. Yeah. I mean, though, I want to stick in the browser that I've been using the last eight years. Like, leave me along. Fuckers. Subscribe to the show on whatever. Actually, every podcast platform, go subscribe.

We need to figure out the drive situation during this weekend. We do need to figure that out. Because I've got car seats, which can be removed, but I'm really not trying to remove all my car seats. It can be removed. Because then I'm going to have to put them back when I get home Sunday, and that sounds like a fucking ass whip.

I'm going to get duped into fucking driving, aren't I? You fuckers. You and Brett can ride with me. Tim Big Dylan just. You could sit in Rhodes car seat. I've been sitting next to you guys in the office all week ago. Now with your skinny little ass. you could fit in it.

ubstack.com. going to hit tomorrow. It's going to hit like a... Don't say crack. God, please. It's going to hit like crack. It's going to hit like a car rearinging a school bus. Dude.

Yes. For people at home, on my way here, I saw a car accident. And the driver was fine. They were outside. But the front was just crumpled in the school bus. Absolutely zero damage. Just ate it. Just ate it.

So, I hope everyone's okay. It looked like everyone was. They reaped of texting. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's me, a true detective, season one, McConaughey, just smoking a sig, just investigating. I'm like, yeah, looks like, some texting and driving. Can I do my impression of the dad that got hit with a baseball bat last night?

I'm going to change the kid's name. Can you explain to the folks at home? For anonymity purposes? Can we pick the name? I was going to go with Stewart. It feels like a good generic kid's name. Stewart Little? Yeah.

No, not last name. How do you know these people don't listen? I don't. But if you guys, you will appreciate that I'm changing the kid's name. I like Stewart, yeah. We were at baseball practice last night, and this dad was working with his son off a tea. And I was working with parks in the cage,

so I was like right next to where they were. And I didn't see it happen, but the kid accidentally, like, pulled his bat up and hit his dad in the face with it. Not so bad that it, like, hurt him physically, but it did like smash his classes, which is kind of funny. And here's my impression.

Fuck, Stuart. And he said it so loud. And he was, like, you could tell he immediately regretted saying that out loud and everyone looked at him and it was, and Parks just looked at me like, oh, big guy, like, oh, fuck. Did he say it like, my bad. Sorry.

Kind of. He just started, kind of, yeah. Fuck, Stuart. What are you doing here? They're kids, you know. Were they sunglasses or spectacles? And so he had to go to the whole practice without his glasses.

Oh, fuck. Yeah. And so he's like, fuck, Stuart. It's kind of funny. True story. So I bring a glove to practice as most of the dads do. You also bring a glove to baseball games. How long have you had this glove?

Is it like a new purchase or you had one for a minute? No, it is. It is one that my, so my glove growing up disappeared, probably got thrown away from my garage, which was very sad. But, because I think it still would have fit. My dad bought one so he could play catch with my nephew. And it's just like a Mizuno, black Mizuno. It's nothing special. I use a Mizuno in high school.

True story. This one feels like, no offense. Well, it's my glove. me it feels cheap but it's a glove and i'm not going to go buy a two hundred dollar glove to you know not yet we'll see how serious is bits to break in too it's still not i feel like it's not broken in because i'm not playing uh epic catch i'm not having epic catches with my son yet please don't say that yeah project epic catch uh like the war uh anyway um we have night we've got night practices, which has been great.

The weather's been great. Lights are on. Coach, I was doing a drill. I was just playing, throwing ground balls, you know. And coach was on the other side working something else, and a ball got by me because it was throwing very shittily. And I, coach grabbed it, tossed it back to me, legit in the lights. And it just, it smoked my glove, not smoke, but hit my glove.

And I just totally bounced off. And I was like, man, he probably thinks I am just such shit. I literally lost like an easy ball in the lights. And I was like, man, I haven't lost a ball in the lights in like 25 years. I told you about my last rep and left field in high school. Yeah, at least yours was in game off a bat. This was like a little flip from the coach. And I was like, that's, I should not have lost that ball.

I came back to the dugout and I immediately said, I lost it in the lights. And everyone was like, okay. and then line up card next game, I'm playing D.H. And that was my position there on out. It's like, coach, give me a break, dude. That's tough. It was tough, man. To be fair, it was a major error because it, it risked a, like, legitimate, like a three-and-a-half-year district winning streak that we had.

Damn. We ended up winning in extra innings. Did you? Did you play it too casually? For that reason, we went to extra endings. Like, was it like a, you just went up just kind of nonchal? I was playing left field, and he hit a line drive at me, and I had to run up on it, and it was just right in line with the bank of lights. And I could see it, but not well enough to, like, close the glove in time.

My favorite playing baseball is the right fielder who gets a late jump and then has to make, like, a sick diving catch. And it's like, oh, badass. It's like, yeah, you got a bad guy. jump, dude. Should have never been in the position to have to dive. Yeah. Gonna miss Adelis. Yeah.

Where's he going now? Where is Adolese? Is he in Boston? I forgot. Phillies. Philly's. Shit during the regular season. Money in the playoffs.

I mean, look, you're not going to catch me saying a bad thing about him. I hear you. I mean, he legit. He ripped out the hearts of the Astros. Astros and the Diamond Bad. for that matter. Game one. God, that was so sick.

I need to go rewatch that. I was on a streak of watching it like once a week just before work or something. Just all the feels, you know? You can relate, Randy. Yeah. Purdue, Boil and make. Not really. No.

Not early. Paul Canerka, I go white. They swept. They swept the Astros. Sweep, sweep. Man, you know your boy. That's right. You know your boy.

Dude, Glenn Beck sat down with AI George Washington again. Oh? To talk about the war in Iran. And what do you have to say? Yeah, I just saw it on the T.L. Does he have the cool t-shirt on? He does.

He has just a blue t-shirt on. Oh, God, what are we doing? I'm not trying to... What are we doing? I'm not trying to tell Glenn Beck how to conduct his business, but, like, at some point, if you're going to keep bringing AI Glenn Beck out there, we got to see the hog. AI, George, you mean? What did I say?

Glenn Beck. We don't want to see AI Glenn Beck's haul. No. We want to see AI Glenn Beck's haul. No. George Washington's hog. You want to see his hog? At some point, we're going to need that George Washington hog reveal.

We asked for it a month. What did we talk about this last? We talked about AI George. Yes, we did. A few months ago. When he first had him out. And now he's back. Yeah.

It's a good guess if you can get him. Why is he not on every show? You probably put a lot of money and time into making that thing, leveraging the tools. So ridiculous. He also has to dumb everything down for us Lehman. Yeah, he's too smart for us. Normies. Ooh, big stretch from Dave.

I don't want to give them the view on that. Just don't. Let's talk Luigi. Luigi. Mojioni. No, Luigi Primo. So this was sent to, I assume, sent to you guys also, but it was sent to me a few times this morning.

There is a new wrestler making the rounds. And this is a tweet from dudes posting their Ws on Twitter. I love that. There's an Italian semi-pro wrestler who enters the ring dress like a pizza chef and knocks opponents out by throwing a pizza pie at them. And this dude is wearing an apron over his wrestling get-up. And he doesn't throw the full, like an actual pizza. It's just the dough.

He's spinning it. You know, like they spin it. He does the entire match with the dough. It's crazy. He knocks this guy flat on us back with pizza dough. And let's just go ahead and watch the video here. Damn, dude. That's a good sell by the other guy.

This guy's absolutely electric. Yeah, we're going to need to put this one on the story halls. Luigi Primo, assuming this is the actual Luigi Primo, responded to this tweet and said, This is a me, Luigi Primo, wrestling a Mikey O'Shea at DreamSlam in Santa Ana. The original video was filmed by the rest of it doesn't matter. I make a best of pizza and I'm fully pro wrestler, not semi-pro. Of note, in particular interest to us here in the studio, his bio says that he's in Austin, Texas. Oh, I did not know that.

Yes. Yeah, because I've known about this guy for a while, a while now. He's been around. Oh, yeah, he's got like a decent follower. He's making the best pizza. He made it the best pizza. I did not know that he was an Austin guy, though. Yes.

And so we're going to do what we can. This is the video right. here. Watch this. Oh my, dude, he's kind of nasty with the dough. Are you surprised by the, are you surprised by the velocity of a punched pizza dough? Absolutely. Like, this looks fake.

Why is that go so hard? That, I don't, dude, I don't know. That dough's got to be, like, extra dense to fly. I don't think it's a real dough. I think it's like a rubber dough. Oh, okay, dude. It's a problem. Hell, yeah.

You think, are you trying to tell me that Luigi Primo's not using real dough in the ring? You're fucking, you're bullshit. I hope he knocks your stupid head. Hope he walks in here and with the dough and just fucking knocks your bitch ass out. Oh, dude. So he does like the entire match with the dough. Dude, that's... Like he's, like, getting beat up, but he's holding on to the dough.

Why is his opponent just watching him spin that dough instead of attacking? It's mesmerized. He's like, damn, this guy's nice with it. Is he fighting pain? I don't think, I don't think that's Bain. Well, maybe it is. Yeah, he's got the mask on. Looks like a Bain mask, maybe.

Uh-oh, he's, he's, he's, he's got the mask on. It's like someone got the best of Primo that time. That's okay. That's a large lad he's fighting. He's doing Salfa. Oh no. Oh, no. Primo.

This is good. Watch this. A lot of unnecessary. Uh-oh. He's on the energy expenditures here. You got him down, but he's not out. He's got the dough going. Dude, he's so nice with it.

Like, now would be a good chance to strike while he's doing his dough thing on his back. He's not blocking. Oh, yeah. Someone stole the dough. I can't believe Randy thinks he's using rubber dough. Yeah. They don't even make rubber dough, dude. Insane.

I've never had a rubber dough pizza in my life, Randy. You know what? We got to make contact with this guy. I'm a fool to think of this. Yeah, I feel like I saw this guy. See, he's getting heel hooked. And he's just holding on to the dough rather than really. Everyone is just so impressed with it, like once they see it up close that they can't finish any moves.

Dude, he's got 162K on Instagram. Like, he's a somebody. He's going to be in the studio very soon, I think. We're working on it. He's the best of pizza maker. He's the best. He's a me. He does cameos.

As do we. He's not charging enough for cameos. He should be at least four times more than we charge, and he's charging only, like, double. Followed by D.C. Rough. Love it. You know I had to do it to him. You had to. I wonder if he's going to get the Austin Pizza Passport.

Why are you forcing that on it? I don't know. I just keep on getting it served to me now, Dave, because I clicked on it once and now I can't. It's a little booklet of just all the pizza places in Austin, and you can go and you can rate them in your little book. And I thought, maybe Dave would like that because he's a pizza guy. He's the pizza card guy.

52 pizzas. That's a lot of pizzas you can put in your little passport. What was supposed to do with that information? I don't know. Figure out which is your favorite place. I actually drove by toss the other day. I was like, I should try that. You did a drive-by tossing?

Yeah. Took a girl by toss the other day. Really? Yeah. We got salad. Okay. Straight up. There's just no coming back from that.

Drive-by tossing. Say it. Say what you're going to say? It was a drive-by tossing. That's what. There it is. God, fucking Primo, dude. I wasn't told me I was snoring last night.

I'm not a snore. I was a little worried about that. I don't like that. Oh. That's really, that has nothing to do for anything. I thought this is about to go into like a Lisa Adderid, but. No,

no, it's true story. I would love. If anything, it shouldn't go in it. Yeah. I would love to go into a, a big wrestling match.

Like go to a, like a, like a W. W.E. WrestleMania and go see it in person. I bet the atmosphere in there is a lot of fun. I went to a Monday night raw taping and bought a shirt

and the shirt got me kicked out of school. The suck it shirt? Said if you can't beat it, suck it. And they said, no, you can't wear that here in ninth grade. And I said, you know what? You're probably right. So I went home. Oh, no, I got to go home for the whole day.

Guess I'm going to go beat it. Hope I don't drink. That's what I was going to say. You were going to go drink alcohol freshman year when you got kicked out of school. That sounds like low, that sounds like, ooh, alcoholism. That's not what I was doing in ninth grade. I mean, I was drinking beers in ninth grade, but not like that. Not like, man, it's a random, like Monday morning.

That'd be a problem. Guess I'll just drink all day. My parents get home. Like, you've been drinking all day? Yeah. Sorry. Yep. Got sent home from my, if you can't beat it, suck it shirt.

Happens. It's a good shirt. I wish I still had it. Was it thrown away like your baseball club? It probably was thrown away immediately. After you got kicked out of school and got drunk all day? Yeah. Yeah.

That's probably a good call. I think they just made me change. I can't remember. Turn it inside out. There was a, there was, I did get sent home again senior year. Last final period before, well, my last period before early release, but that was for a different shirt. That was for a suck me beautiful shirt that we made was.

screen printing. I went to the Bahamas when I was in high school. Yeah, didn't you get your hair braided? Middle school. I did. I did. Did you really? I got two little braids in the front and I wore it.

I kept it for school. That's so embarrassing. I was in middle school. That's so embarrassed. Anyway, I got a Bahamas t-shirt, but it was designed like Budweiser. Frat. And I think they made me turn it inside out when I worked to school because it was promoting a beer brand. That checks out.

I mean, yeah. It was kind of nice, though. the shirt. I bet that was a really low quality shirt. It was shitty. Yeah. It was real shitty. I had a Mexican league soccer jersey that had like a big Corona, like, logo on it that I was so proud of.

I thought it was like the sickest thing. That's pretty sick. I think I bought it at a trader. No, I bought it in Mexico when we went to like Eagle Pass for like a church thing. And I bought it like in the market, probably for like $2. and I thought it was like the coolest thing I'd ever seen. And I had to hide it because it was a church thing. Yeah.

But I was like, dude, fucking check it out. Dude, he's got the beer on it. That was back when we thought coronas were good. I don't hate a corona. No, but, you know, back then it was like, yeah, we're drinking corona tonight. We're living good. Didn't you used to keep coronas in like the subway fridge? Yeah.

You ain't on it. Not just me. I can't imagine why you got left off the schedule drinking at work they shouldn't have hired me that's on them I mean look all the signs were there

Well, we've got a late entrant for Co-worker Week. And this name should not shock you. Randy, why don't you play it? Play the man's song. My God, that's Barry Rigby's music. I don't even know what this is about. Because you weren't on the email. You weren't on it.

Or maybe you were. I wouldn't. Barry Rigby. That doesn't. Barry Rigby email lists. It says, co-workers submission. And I'm going to read it because I think it's fun. And it's nice.

It's fun to have fun. Should I read the long version? Not that long. Or should we have Randy read it? I'll read it, even though I have siphoned off some of his... Inability to speak. It said, let me be the first to wish you an early happy birthday. That's for Randy.

When's your birthday? April 5th. Easter Sunday. Can't wait to remotely celebrate with you on April 5th. Oh, because me and him share a birthday. That's... Oh. How about that?

Here's my coworker week's submission. It's not a funny story or a complaint or a can you believe this, but rather a story of friendship, which famously declines after 30. Very sad, very unfair. He's right. I started on a new team in Q2 of 2024. A week or so in, I got a slack message from a new teammate, Keelan. Hey man, welcome to the team.

Super random question. But do you listen to the circling back podcast? And if so, are you by chance the Barry Rigby who wrote, Welcome to Wilmonds? Holy shit. We instantly hit it off. And it became good friends since. then. He's also a level or two senior to me and has become a mentor and helped me earn a promotion.

People helping people, man. Look at that, dude. Our listeners fucking climb the ladder. Hey, that's pretty much thanks to us. You got that promotion. I'm just going to say it. A few months later, I got a similar Slack message from another guy on the adjacent team. Hey, man, maybe a strange question, but are you by chance to Barry Rigby who wrote, Welcome to Wilmans for Circling Back. This time I wanted to do a bit, so I said something like, Hey, Trey, great to E meet you. Unfortunately, no, I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Sorry. He was like, oh, okay, sorry to bother you. I gave it five minutes or so. And then, Trey, I'm punking you. Yeah, it's me. I'm a day one backer. And so is Keelan. We have to get a group chat going.

He was a bit shaken up from the embarrassment, but now it's a hilarious story. Dude, sometimes it feels like we have like 10 million listeners. There's so many out there, man. We don't. About six months ago, check this out. What? About six months ago, we recruited a night. another guy named Alex. He jumped into the pod and circling back bits without hesitation.

And he's been a great sport about getting into it. Dude has three kids under 10 at home. He's getting killed over there. So I think every ounce of male friendships go a long way. Shout out to Alex getting killed at home, man. Twice a year we go to Seattle for a company retreat and we always do a Zalfa males dinner on the first night while we have free time. It's been a great way to connect with the fellas and the bits we do to make the corporate grind a little more fun. you guys should cold call sometime. I submitted a form once but never heard back. You got to resubmit.

That's a note. Hold on. That's a note for everyone out there. We're not going to go in the backlog. Resubmit every month if you want that call. Your girl goes in the backlog. What do we think of Zalfa male dinner is? You get a toss salad joke.

Don't look at me like that. I don't even know what that meant. Kiss my ass. What do we think of Zalpha male? They eat in the short version? No, no, no. That's the name of their group text. Because where they work.

starts with a Z. I don't know if you want to not dox him. I mean, he wrote in so we can say. All conference in Keelan will give you the scoop on the Zillow tech sales. There you go. So they work for Zillow. So they have a group text called Zulfimales. All the best.

Barry Rigby. I fuck with it. P.S. Maybe we could skip. Maybe we could make it so we do the cold call on a date Dylan is out because that guy's a bitch. What? Barry. I was riding for you, dog.

I made that part up. I did read it in Jaybones, That guys are bitch. Shout out to Barry Rigby, Alex, and the other... Keelan. Keelan. Not to be confused with Keelan Russell. Are you sure it's not Keelan Russell?

I think I would know by now if Keelon was a backer. And if you worked for Zillow? Yeah, he's clearly working for Alabama. Right. Probably highly compensated. Yeah, I would think so. Number one, QB. Come on.

I need to check in and see how the Springs going. I'm sure he's out there slinging it. Backer week rolls on. That's fun, man. Boys are back in town. I wonder how many people out there just made some friendships. I know we have some people that got married from the show. You know, they met because of the show and all that.

Dude, we've had, we've had several that have gotten married because of the show. Yeah, it's because they listen to the show, get all horny, and go out and meet people. There's a kid out there that exists because of the show. Well, he's one. Think about that. Think about that. Without us, that kid is... Are you trying to say you impregnated a backer?

I'm trying to say that it's because of us that kid has life. Oh, okay. We're creating lives out of here, man. Well, you know, the birth rate in this country is going down. I think we need more people listening to circling back, making connections, having sex. Unprotected. That's how you have a baby. Really?

Yeah. Huh. Barry Rigby. Is that? You want me to go look? Maybe it's sauce coming in and talk. I'm out. It ain't saucy.

No, no, no, no. Hang on a sec. What? Who is that? You want me to go see? I'll go see. There's somebody in our kitchen right now that is not Will and it is not bread.

It could be. And I don't think it's sauce. I bet you the person we're getting lunch with today. Can I whip somebody's ass? It's not him. It looks like. What are you doing? Get in you.

here. Why is he here? Get in here. Here comes that boy. Here comes that boy. Don't spoil it yet. What in the world? Why? What a treat.

Take his... Right here. You frame bog this man. What's up, big dog? I've been look smacking, so I'm not afraid to sit next to Dorn today. You look very good. Are you coming by? officially extend the invite to your St. Paddy's party to somebody who didn't get an invite?

I think everybody here got one. Someone out there did not. Randy is one of the only two people to decline. Wow. I will be in Hawaii. You know the roughs are going to be there. I did see the ruffs are in. This is exciting.

What owes us the pleasure? What brings you by? Well, I just wanted to see if anybody else has been going viral recently or just me. You did go viral. I believe it was my greatest tweet ever. And I have to give you guys a lot of credit about it. This was in regards to, you know, since this tweet happened, we've started a war. So, you know, things have changed.

There's been a mass shooting in our town that the FBI should be responding to. But that's neither here nor there. But at the time is right after the gold medal game and the videos of Cash Patel chugging beers in the locker room. And this was on the heels of that. fraternity video that went viral in in Iowa I believe right yeah correct oh yeah and I got off a great tweet and we were talking about in the group chat and I was I was trying to I was gonna try and make a joke in the group chat but then I woke up in the middle of the night and I said no this is this is too good for the boys you gotta take it I gotta share this with the world and I did

and it went viral I believe there's something like I know one group of champions who would never willingly invite the feds into their celebration it tested well It tested well in the group chat focus. Yeah, I put it all together. You know, like I had the pieces together in the group chat, but then it, in the middle of the night, it hit me. Scroll me out, Randy. Do I see the numbers? Yeah, we're over 4K likes, I think.

Oh. Yeah. Micah's threshold for viral is lower than most. Is Micah back? I mean, I might be. I think he's always had the content. It was definitely my first tweet of 26. I mean, you told Boo Boo, you're out of the content game and they pulled you back in.

Well, it's great to see you guys. I thought I'd do an unannounced pop-in. What a treat this is. It's huge. I've got a few things that I'm burning on. So if I can go to the notes. Just the clones? So you playing on hopping on the mic?

Yeah, I didn't just drive down here for no reason. I was just hoping I'd sneak in here without you seeing me, but Dylan caught me. I saw a truck the other day that had a bumper sticker that said, enjoy truck month on it. Sick. I thought about you guys. That's kind of in a podcast week way. We'll start with that.

Also, our good friend Mark Allen, Dr. Mark Allen in New Orleans. I noticed that you guys talked to, is it Sheila Buff? I never know how to say, Shia. I never know how to say his name. I've never seen a movie with that guy. You've never seen Transformers. Did he only watch his French noir? That's true.

Thank you. But we have an on the ground report. I think everyone was a little bit worried for his mental health. Yes. Dr. Mark Allen bumped into him, sent me a photo. which I don't really have permission to share on the air, but I'll show you guys. Okay. I didn't have permission to tell the story, but he said that Shia was in great spirits and was perfect.

And this was before his Channel 5 interview that went, you know, mildly viral. Sure. His encounter with Mike Piazza. Yes. Or lack of encounter. Yeah, that's correct. But he said he had a great conversation with him. And he's, you know, he lives in New Orleans now.

Because I was like, you know, he kept seeing all the clips of him during Mardi Gras and what is happening. Is he filming a movie? Is he just on a bender? No, he's a New Orleans resident now and just. I didn't know that. In good spirits. I'm wondering if like, if I'm somebody who's gotten into some trouble, maybe gotten into a few scraps, I just don't know if New Orleans is the place I'm moving. I tend to get into most trouble in New Orleans.

That's a good call. Yeah. Love the town. We ate a pig head. together. Yeah, I shot pighead grease onto your shirt. And then I got COVID. And I got COVID. We did yoga, though. Yeah, I got COVID as well, you and I. We did a very intimate yoga with one other lady and the, in the instructor. Yeah. A couple other things. I've been burning on this for now three weeks now. You guys did the appetizer graft a few weeks ago. I listened to it. It was good content.

Oh, God. I thought we were out of the woods. Who won? Oh, you bought. I mean, it wasn't, there wasn't even close. There are a couple things I want to talk about. Starting with Randy, who chose cheddar biscuits. And I believe Dave also chose chips and salsa. If they come to the table for free, that's not an appellate. I agree with that. I know you guys discuss this, but if you're going to go in that genre, the clear

winner there is obviously like steakhouse bread service. That's better than we kicked around bread or at least contemplating. I like, at asked about it. His was actually a red lobster, but we told them no specific. Then I continued to take it. You know, I probably should have said bread, bread was off the table. Chips and salts, I feel like sometimes you do have to order where bread you never really have to order.

For me, if I had not chosen chips and salsa, I would be a complete fraud. People would be like, this is the guy. This is the guy who-dillon got you with the one-one pick of chips and queso, obviously. The valid point you make about them bringing it to the table without you have to ask. Yeah. I don't think that's an appetizer. The other thing, not to pick on Randy here, but I did drive from dripping springs to do this. Here we go.

I believe you had potato. Tater skins. Tater skins. And wasn't there another? What did you have another one that was fried pickles? Okay. I can kind of go. It would have been there in the fourth.

Straight up. Yes. Maybe. My bigger issue in both of those, and especially potato skins, nobody's, that's not really an appetizer. It's sort of a different genre completely. nobody we don't go out with the fellas and like oh let's start with a round of potato skins no you order tater skins when you're at a bar drinking all day and you just want to like munch on some trash food like you know that you're treating yourself like shit today we're watching the game i'm getting the tater skins

you're making good points and i think i agree with potato skins are delicious also you don't find that on like you get them at chilies yeah where else at apple bees and you know other place like that see look I'm not a highfalutant restaurant guy. I'm not thinking on you. Tater skins are delicious. But like if you sit down to chilies, if the four of us are at chilies. He's white trash.

Give him a break. Yeah. Give me a break. If the four of us are at chilies and you order, let's get a round of tater skins for the table. And then we're going to chase that with cheeseburgers or, you know, it's heavy. I don't,

I don't think that's a problem. There's a lot of things on the app thing that, like, like chicken wings was the one thing that people were commenting on. People were mad that it went so late. People were like, can't believe chicken. That wasn't one one. And I was like, for me, I don't, I love chicken wings, probably more than anything else that was drafted. But for me, it's not an appetizer.

Chicken wings is the main course. Now, I think you could throw chicken wings in the same trash day, Ben. It is a trash day food. Because, you know, again, if you're, I mean, I guess if we're out, we could each get like an order of six wings to start and we each have a wing or two. and then have cheeseburgers or something. I'm not rocking with one or two. Daddy wants 10. Right.

Yeah. That's a full-ass meal. Daddy hungry. Tater skins are always in the appetizer like section. They're not part of the sides. So for me, Tater skins is an appetizer. Right. And I'll give you that.

The other thing that you guys totally missed on, and I don't know if people had brought this to the table. Dave did have calamari or calamari, as they call it in New York. A lack, a glaring lack of seed. food options. Raw oysters? If raw oysters are on the menu, we're ordering that for the squad. That is a big miss because that's like one of my favorite things.

How often are you like, should we get oysters and everybody's like, yeah, I'm not a big oyster guy, but I'll have a couple of those. Like everybody loves a raw oyster. If the boys are a pearl is, you're going to eat it. Yeah. You're right. So that, you know, shrimp cocktail maybe could be there too. But anyway, I've been burning on that ever since.

Okay. No, I'm glad that you would have been, this would have been a. I got to say, Randy's a fine producer, but this would have been, this would have crushed and probably caused a fight during touching base. Yeah. The app draft, like, this would have been like awkward for a couple of days. Yeah. Micah would have just had all sorts of people mad. It was in the room.

It would have gotten like. Yeah. Yeah. Controversial. Yes. A couple of other things. I wanted to give a shout out to Mayor Bill Folds of Dripping Springs. I met him at a Chamber of Commerce event a couple weeks ago,

and I made a suggestion, the Veterans Memorial Park, as you drive through Dripping Springs, it's, for lack of a better term, just a giant eyesore. And it's on 290. So people that are driving through town, that's what they see.

They don't see any of the charm that we have. We have a couple of charming streets, Mercer Street that has, you know, walkable places and bars and restaurants. But when you just drive down 290, you see this, this eyesore. It's like an unpaved park.

It's not in the park. It's just sort of like some unpaved stuff. And like there's a water treatment plant there. And I mentioned I said, I'd like to beautify this mayor. And he said, okay. And I was like my number one beef was that two years ago, you remember the big hill country, what is it, when the sun and the moon and the eclipse. The eclipse.

Yeah. Yes. And it was this big thing. two years ago was is April of 24. We still had like a giant like 10 foot, uh, set of goggles or, you know, like the shade, the 3D glasses, things. They had like a 10 foot thing park in that park that was pointed at the spot. And it was usable that time, but it was still sitting there two years later.

I said, that's got to go. And I, I followed up with an email. He didn't reply, but a week later, those glasses are gone. And so I just want mayor folds to know that I see. you and I appreciate you. You said it's a, it's a veterans memorial park. Is there any kind of like memorial? There is a statue. There's a tiny memorial in the corner, but it's 90% just I swore. You really want to get something done. Can't we just point out like, don't we owe the vets a little bit more? I think we do. Look into that camera right there. We do owe our veterans more.

Wow. Indeed. Speaking of glasses, you still got those Snapchat spectacles? I don't. I wish. I wish. One last thing. Let's see. I went viral. I talked about the mayor. We did. Talked about truck month. You know, there are a lot of people on the circling back Reddit who despise me. And I just want to say hi haters. Looking into this camera here. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. High haters. But, you know, a lot of the beef when I come on as people go, oh, Mike is always there plugging his new job. And he's such a scumb. bag. And, you know, I've given up on the, they call you a skumb bag. I've given up, well, some people on the Reddit do, uh, the unnamed anonymous trolls that come after me. Not that I read the Reddit, although I'm going to read it this afternoon and it'll ruin my day. But I do want to

give a shout out to, uh, to all the flippers out there as your boy is now, uh, lead account executive for Austin for backflip, not just a, a company in Austin with a, with a cute name, which it is. It is cute. Backflip is a good name. It sounds like a startup. And it's not. This is an established company.

If there are any real estate investors out there that want to meet with your boy, I will buy you coffee. I will buy you lunch. If you're in Austin, San Antonio, if you're interested in flipping homes, we have the best products out there. And I won't go too much more into it. But you know where to find me. Instagram, LinkedIn, at Michael Weiner, M-I-H-W-I-E-N-R.

And, you know, also a shout out to my former employer, point funding group spent three great years there so the people that that say oh mike is in a new job he's always promoting new shit fuck you haters all right um is the uh is our boy still there who's our boy uh oh t man no the other there's another d man yeah there's d man and see murda i call him d man uh d man two there's d man three d man here and then he's like in between us right yeah he is no longer with the company oh see murda is What about the beard? Wasn't the beard one? The beard is still there as well. So shouts to those guys.

All right. Well, shout out to their families. Shouts to backflip. And I want you guys to be a part of it. Anybody in the backflip community know you? Like, hey, are you the, it hasn't happened yet. I think I anticipate that it will. For the people that are just listening at home, Micah is also wearing a backflip hat. Yeah, I mean, I've got a lot of swag as well. That's a cool hat. Thank you. They got a good logo. It's pretty good. You familiar? I have not played golf in more than a year and a half. It's very sad. That is sad. You're on that Dylan-ish right now. Oh, man. That's tough. We need to get out there. What's next for Micah in 2026? Gosh, man. I just like helping people. I like the every man. We are not there for the institutional investors. We're there for the people that are trying to grow their real estate. I'm not like personally. Oh, well, you know, maybe lunch. I don't know what you guys are up to after this, but, you know,

If you guys want to find a bite of food, perhaps. We have a lunch meeting actually today. Oh, a very rare occurrence, but it is today. And Will also has a lunch meeting. This is all true. The same location. Wow. Expose them.

Who is y'all's meeting with? A friend of the show. Jeff. I think I met him at Brett's Christmas party. Oh, great party. Oh, yeah, you certainly. So wait, did Brett not get an invite? No, Will didn't.

Will had no clue. Okay. Will is an idiot because, well, let me also say this. My wife has made me an admin on the thing, but she won't, I have no powers to invite people because she's afraid I'm going to invite too many people. So all the invites were sent to the wives and girlfriends, the wags, if you will. So Sally should know about this event. So Alyssa got our invite.

So I told Will Sally probably got the invite from them. I will talk to Will. He is in fact invited. Any friends of the show or any friends of Grandex from back in the day we can maybe expect to see? Maybe one in particular that we want to see, but he is not. Bush? No, I do want to see Booch. Boosh did come to the party two years ago.

No, no, I've seen Boosh, but I'm talking about a name start to the J. Ends with an Aeson. Oh, God. Oh, that's a, see, I don't have the invite possibility, but I would invite Jason. We've got to get Jason in the mix, dude. Yeah, Burger Madness. He's, doesn't he live out in the drip? He does, yeah.

Let's go. Maybe I should talk to him. I'll see if I can bootleg an invite for him. Yeah. Yeah, Boosh did come to the party two years ago, as you guys recall. He showed up like 10 minutes to the end of it. And he hung out in my living room, just me and him drinking Guinnesses for about an hour. And he was like, I'm going to call an Uber.

And then there wasn't an Uber for another 45 minutes. So my wife was like trying to clean up and take care of the baby. And I'm just sitting in the couch. sitting on the couch catching up with Boeche was awesome. Love that. Helping him set up his email. Shout out to Boosh. Shouts to Boosh.

I still can't believe he didn't know that he had an email. Yeah, you know. Oh, there was one other thing I wanted to mention here. As, you know, I started backflip at the beginning of the year, and I think I've had an HR violation. I wanted to run this by you guys as you're kind of the workplace comedy show. You just started. Well, Dylan's a professional. Yeah.

Did you take a picture of an employee's ass? and put it on the timeline. No, but I was on a Zoom call and I, you know, the camera came to me or, you know, I was on the call and said, how are you doing today? And I said, you know, not having a great hair day. And I reached, I put on my backflip hat. And I tried to say, you know, there's not a lot of good hair days when you're follically challenged like myself.

But instead I said, phallically challenged. You know, unfortunately for me, I'm phallically challenged. Folling. I'm losing my head. Losing hair here. And so I don't think I've been reported to HR yet. It was an honest mistake. How did it go over? I tried to just dance around it and change. Hey, how's the weather up there? You didn't get a laugh? Oh, no, no. There were no laughs. Oh, come on. How many people on the Zoom call? Five or six. Oh, damn. It's tough. Yeah, it was tough. Are you completely remote? Yeah, we're opening an Austin office here next month. You should tell people, this, this is huge. at the MLNR happy hours that you're actually you're opening that office. People were telling us like,

yeah, I actually came here to open up the blah, blah, blah. It sounds super. I'm like, damn, dude, you fucking opened it? You're gonna be going into the office? Yeah. So we're gonna see more of you?

Well, the office is in Beakeave at the gallery. So not exactly on the way. No, not really on the way to anything, but it's easier, easy commute for me. A lot of food options. Sure. You know, Chelsea works out that way.

You can link with her for lunch. I would love to. Oh, yeah. I'm excited to catch up with her. Been a minute. Yeah. Been too long. Yeah.

I'm going to see you in a few weeks. How about that? 10 days. How about that? 10 days. It's exciting. Really exciting. Well, Michael, we'll give you the final word. Just, you know, thank you.

It's great to continue to be a part of the circling back family. And also, you don't have to leave. I don't know if you have plans. You can stay on our show. I may take a call here. It'd be kind of weird to be in your office by myself as all you guys leave for a lunch meeting. but I think he means like the rest of the rest of that. Yeah, you can just hang out if you want.

I didn't mean to. Well, what else you guys have to burn on? Well, we don't really going to burn. I'm out. Britney Spears got a D-dub. We got our weekend and fun. We got to meet up this weekend. Yeah, it's exciting.

And we talked about. Truck yard's a great location. You've been. Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Johnny Dallas. Yeah. Sorry with the old stomping grounds.

You know, you know what it is. Where is your VRBO? It was fun listening to your live. I have shows I drove in, by the way. It's literally five minutes away, just south of Lower Greenville. Okay, fantastic. It's a good location. I'm very excited.

Randy, you're taking the megabus, right? We actually don't know. We don't know the driving situation. We were just talking about that. Will told me he's taking a Von Lane. I said, well, Randy's taking a megabus. So I don't know what that tells you about. There's two Americas.

I don't know if you know what I think it is. This is why I chose tater skins and he would have chose oysters. That's exactly. That's true. Will that's adraft would have hit. it would have been, it would have been extremely controversial. Yeah, no, I think we might take two cars. I don't know.

Yeah, I know there's the car seat situation. The, the, the, we go on VRBO or Verbo? I always say Verbo. The Verbo thing, this is the first one I've ever booked. I'm in a constant contact with the owner. He's very much like, just checking in, make you see that you guys got any new visitors. They're going to be there. We'd love to know the number, making sure.

He asks for the age range of everybody. I said 30s to mid-40s. 42. And he was like, great. Any pets? I was like, no. Dave also is apparently some rep for them.

And he gets a bonus for every single person. He gets to sign up and create a new profile. Yeah. You got the affiliate link going. Well, when you sign up before, they're like, would you like to send this itinerary to anybody else?

I'm like, I'd love to send it to my coworkers who are staying there. So I sent it to him. And of course, only one person had trouble with it. It rocks Randy's world. It wasn't. trouble. It's just I don't want to sign up for a new account for something. And you're probably

getting kickbacks from it. Now that I think about it, I don't think he's getting kickbacks. Yeah, dude, it's quite lucrative for you. Yeah, every single person he gets to sign up, he gets some type of verb. I'm a, I'm now a premium tier of verbo tenant. If you want to share that affiliate link, you could go to my viral tweet. Yeah. In fact, if you're interested in flipping homes or buying to renovate and rent. Just go to my viral tweet and at mentioned me there at producer Micah.

That'd be good too. Yeah. You'll go to the top of the line. That viral, that the aisle of, man, do we ever get any more content? By the way, I love the way that you guys broke that down. Big shouts, especially to Dorn as well. It was good. Thanks, man. You're the expert in Hasey and bullying.

That's right. Did that chapter get kicked off campus? What was the result of them? I never heard anything else. They got suspended for I think four years. Oh, man. For a little mustard and ketchup. Yeah. Apparently the kid in the Iowa shirt, because this was actually last year. Yeah, yeah. It wasn't a recent video. The video on YouTube just came out like when and went viral and stuff. So it was like a year prior. And then I think that got kicked off or heavy probo until 2029. And apparently the kid that was in there in the Iowa shirt, maybe it wasn't even like a real student who was just a part of the house.

Kind of an old school situation. You got to have a, dude who's not actually taking classes. Yeah, running your hazing operation. We had a, we had a, that's good policy. As a former fraternity president, that's, that's something I would always encourage. We had a pledge that we found out, like, it wasn't actually like enrolled in school. There's not like a real, like there's like a somewhat of a vetting process, but not like a, we need to see your transcript or, you know, none of that shit. Was he a good hang? Uh, he was a good hang. And then we just found out like, you know, he's not even in school. He's just fucking here to frat. We're like, okay.

I mean, he is, his dad's got a ranch in like Wimberley or something, so that's sick. What are we going to do? Tell him like, no, you can't hang out. Who would I be? Let him frat. He did. D1 Chiller. Did he pay dues?

Let him fret. No, he've ended up getting major offense for not paying. Love that. He's still in the AR books. His star burned bright. My chapter's back on campus. Let's go. Yeah.

We're brothers. Yeah. You might do the secret hand shake? Yeah, let's do it right now. No. Don't do it. Dude, frat's coming back. I was just showing these guys that Jimmy Tatro did a Jimmy John's ad all about him

being in like being the frat guy. And he played some old TFM videos in the sad. With him in it. Wow. West Coast Jimmy is he was known back in the day. Oh yeah. What a guy. Hey, one other thing I wanted to mention, you know who I'm really into these days?

Adam Friedland. He goes familiar with this work. Yeah, he's. I like, his old stuff. You know what's funny is back in the touching base days, we used to always monitor the charts and we could never get ahead of Comtown. Comtown was always one or two ahead of us. Like, it was always neck and neck. And we used to always just like joke and be like, what the fuck is Comtown? Like, is this a porn podcast? Like, why? And we none of us actually took the time to

actually listen to it. And when it turns out that, you know, at least one of the people involved is a very funny, funny guy. We should have, we should have done a collab. We, yeah, I got into them late and then the show went away. And, well, Stapp took a, stop took a step back and then out into the mainstream. Stavros. And then Adam Friedland Show. And now it's just like a delight to watch. He gets good guests.

His booking is great. He does. He was excellent with clav. The Alde Baldwin one is a personal favorite of mine. I haven't listened to that one. I watched the one with the, the full send guy, Steinie.

Yeah. Can I also say something? I don't know what's going on with these young influencers. They're just lack of, of talent and, and charisma is bizarre to me. It's rewarded in many ways,

rewarded to be like, have like very limited personality, but just like, if you have like a bit, just a lot of availability. Yeah. Limited personality. It's called being a Sigma.

Michael? Michael. Michael. Don't try and mug me here. Yeah. Don't it. What are you doing, man? It's called being a Sigma. Do you get a little uneasy when Micah's in here? Him and Dan are trying to come from my gerb. Yeah, Dan, you got Dan to be my conceit. It's definitely not true. I'm not coming for your germ. How is our boy, Danny doing? He's doing great. We're going to have him in next week.

The whole week, you know, I don't know if you've seen this, but he's going to Hawaii. I heard. No, that's why I've been Hawaii. I have been to Hawaii a couple times. So yeah, he's going to be gone. That's your head up? There's a bad pizza place I went to. You know, it's, you know, when you're on vacation and you ruin them, you go to a dinner and you, it's just not good. You have like a pig head and get COVID? Right.

It's a shame when you ruin a meal on vacation. And we ruined one at a bad pizza place. So I won't. It's like, it's like having a bad game in the playoffs. It's like that's what people are going to remember you for. Right. Yeah, the James Harden situation. It just means more.

It's like Purdue losing to another double-digit seed. Did Northwestern beat them? No, I don't think so. But they've lost to so many double-digit seeds in the past like that game last night. I don't know. You guys watching a lot of college hoops? No. Yeah.

I mean, I hate it really. I popped some Simmons on to see like what's going on with the lottery picks and whatnot. That's about it. I haven't watched the game start to finish this year. Unfortunately, I've been on the Missouri roller coaster. Not that anybody. cares. It's always a roller coaster with the tigers. It's the most inexplicable program in America, but that's not. Are they going to make a run? Where they fit into the picture here? They were sitting at a

nine or a ten seed. Okay. So we'll be a tournament team, but we'll lose in the first game. I'm pretty confident. How's Brad Key doing? He's doing great. Did he move out to Las Creek? Yeah, he's in Los Creek. Because I was at toss the other day and I was like we parked down the street El Paso street and I was like oh this is my old buddy Brad's uh old stomping grounds yeah shouts to the big guy his birthday's coming up oh man and actually party will be at toss will he be at uh st patty's yes great i'm gonna be there he'll probably be wearing a fedora you know who won't be there coach bobby so there won't be any friction with dorn where's he at these days he's in uh colorado better stay away okay yeah

I took Chelsea to the one two years ago, remember? I'll never forget. Chelsea, I believe Dylan was like, hey, Chelsea wants to bring something. Can she bring jello shots? And I said, yeah, I never say no to jello shots. And then the party was like 80% children. And I kind of felt embarrassed. But it was very thoughtful of her to bring yellow shots.

We had jolshed. I had some, yeah. They were. They were. Well, I think I'm out of things to talk about. I'll let you guys go. This has been a real treat. You guys said, you're always welcome.

Finish the pod. You know that, right. Yeah. You know, they've finished a lot of construction. He obviously knows that. Yeah. He just showed up. I've never done the, the unannounced pop-in before.

This is, it's a good bit. It's a good bit. Well, ladies gentlemen. At Michael Weiner. At Michael Weiner. Michael Weiner. Round of applause. We don't have that sound.

It throws the mic away. I thought we had it. Bye, Michael. What a treat. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Yeah.

Bye-bye. There it is. Now we can move on. Oh, well. This episode sponsored by BetterHelp. A lot going on in the world. Weather could be bad. It could be cold.

but you didn't want to get a whole stuff? Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. And I was like that I know that's not sauce because sauce would be wearing, like, Jinko jeans and, I don't know, some shirt he got it, Goodwill. Nica and Sals have very different

style. But yeah, man. What a pleasure. If you were to, he can, he can pop on as much as he wants. Fuck yet.

He's going to tell him now. Not me. I mean, now that he's got to come into Austin for work, I know it's not exactly close to where he's going. Not at all, actually. We might see him in here

every now and then. I wonder if he's going to help open that office. You should tell people that. I'm going to tell people like, in 10 years from now, when I'm at happy hours, once I have like a, I've got a new career as like an AI contributor. I'm going to go tell people happy hours.

Like, yeah, I opened the washed office in Austin. You should. I opened it. And then I'm like, wow, that's so sick, dude. I saw it on your name tag. That guy career mocked us. I kind of wanted to go to lunch with that guy. I liked him.

He was cool. As far as like that kind of interaction goes, like that guy was nice. He had Riz. Charisma. He did. That's what the word. short for um

brittany spares as we mentioned earlier got a dw i in california she did very sad it's not good to drink and drive dylan it's not um man every time a video of hers hits the t l i never go searching for it it always finds me

i just feel bad about what's going on there yeah like her dancing with knives and stuff yeah it's always her dancing in her living room seemingly high or drunk or both. I don't know what's going on, but it makes me uncomfortable. And I just hope she has a good team around her that doesn't let her drink and drive.

I don't know if that does. That's the thing that always gets me. This happened with the cat when he got his infamous D-dub or whatever DUI, pills, fell asleep at the wheel, whole thing. But like,

people who have that kind of money, it's like, dude, you don't have to drive. I know. I get there's probably like a feeling of like, I want to drive. Because like if I, let's say like if I went without driving for a long time, driving can be fun. It can be nice to go get in your car by yourself and just drive somewhere and clear your mind. Not saying to do that while you're fucked up, but you know what I'm saying.

So there's probably like a little bit of like empowerment. I did not. If you would ask me like a year ago, like do you think Britney Spears drives anywhere? I'd say no. That was honestly. the most surprising thing of this story to me. I'm shocked that she drives. I didn't know she really, I didn't realize she like left her house. And I don't know what the money situation with her is like anymore. I know she made a fuck ton of it. There was the guardianship and like the whole issue where

she thought people, family members, father potentially was stealing from her. I don't know. I don't know the whole story. Go chat GPT it if you want. I want the best for Britain Spears. Me too. I was very much in love with her at one point. life i wasn't in love with her but i was um she did make me feel things yeah i think that do you speaking for a lot of boners a lot of our age people out there was more of uh now wasn't a christina guy i wasn't even a jessica simpson guy shout out plano i was more of a um jessica simpson stole my heart right after brittney spears did do dukes a hazard come on yeah i mean she made me The blood was flowing.

Yeah, buddy. She was fine. Who did the song? Willa Ford, later married Mike Madonna. Willa Ford? I don't know who that is. Her song was, I want to be bad with you, baby. Willa Ford, who is this?

She's a hot blonde. Okay. Yeah, I don't know who this is. I'm semi-joking. I was just trying to figure out the deepest cut I could do. But yeah, you know, that era was fun. A lot of pop stars. Kersina was good.

I don't have much on it. Yeah. We can get to our weekend and fun. It's kind of, I don't know. I don't know what's worse. Her doing getting a DWI or Dylan riding his bike, ever heard without a helmet? But they're both in the same category.

I don't think those are the same category. I'm not putting people in danger. You're putting me in danger right now because you don't have your Ridge wallet. I'll go get it. I'm not talking about nothing. We're just going to sit here in silence and everyone in the live chat is going to have to sit here in silence too.

God, dude. Someone was not prepared. Another fucking Dylan beefing. You're going to talk about Dylan beefing. Oh, man. You know what? I think it's a great time to talk about this weekend and Fawn.

Bro, let's go out this weekend. There's a crazy event happening. I like to turn up. Bro, there's a crazy event happening. We had the party and it was lit. I got yelled out by a prostitute. just go have fun and they go with it. This weekend of fun, presented by, you know what it is.

It's the Ridge wallet. The Ridge wallet. Ridge wallet. Got mine right here. Yeah, he does. Keep that thing on him. It is sleek. It is trim.

Is that the 2.0? It's the Ridge Wallet 2.0. It's the Ridge Wallet 2.0. What did you used to have? What was the wallet sitch back in the day? It was just your basic single-fold leather wallet, but I'm not doing that ish anymore. I'm on the new ish. What do you like about it?

I like that it fits really nicely in my front pocket, where I like to keep wallets. I like that you can easily access your credit cards and the little money band. What if I told you it has the built-for-life warranty? I believe it. Even if it's lost or stolen, they got you covered. How about that? Yeah. Pretty crazy.

It gives you the peace of mind knowing that. that all Ridge wallets have RFID blocking technology keeping you safe from digital pickpocketers, eh? Yeah. That's probably not how they talk. No, probably not. No. But they're out there. I really was not that aware of digital pickpocketing, but I don't like it.

I don't like that that's something I have to worry about or I did have to worry about until I got my Ridge wallet 2.0. You know what I'm saying, Campbell? Losing your wallet's the worst, but with the Ridge tracker card, you'll always know exactly where it is before panic mode kicks in. I hate panic mode. I'm more of a sicko mode guy. Right. Mm-hmm. Oh, he just turned his hat backwards. He's in sick of one, guys. This weekend and fawn. Man, over 100,000 five-star reviews, proof that Ridge is a gift that people love to receive.

Let's just do, we're all doing the same thing. We're all doing the same thing. We got a meetup.

We're heading out tomorrow, Friday. Don't know what the transportation situation looks like, but we'll be there Friday. Megabus, Vaughn Lane. We're going to ride in your F-350. I mean, I haven't really booked that megabus. No, you're taking the megap bus. I could do for content. I mean, if you guys want to pay for it, I'll take the macabus.

No, I don't think you should take a mecca bus. We'll find somebody to drive. Got dinner tomorrow. Dinner tomorrow. Got some friends of the show joining us. Lost Palmas. Am I even allowed to say who's joining us? Oh.

Why not? I can't. It's two of the finest ball-knowers I know. That's true. Ross Winchie and Klein Cous. Swine Flubiac. Oh, I mean, it's about to be a scene up in Las Palmas. I just want to talk ball with them the whole time.

Shout out to my guy, Nick, who got us a Rezi at Las Palmas. What is Saturday morning afternoon look like? Sunglasses in Advil. A dope breakfast. The meetup is at four. We've also said on the way up, we're going to maybe stop at get some coloshies. Yeah, I think that's timely. I think that would be we can hit checkstop or Slovichicks or whatever and get some

Kalachis, get some for the house, get a sandwich, whatever. Yeah, we're going to be out and about. I don't know what we're going to do after dinner tomorrow night. Maybe we could do, oh, Dave, how about this? We shouldn't go too hard tomorrow. Oh, I'm not going hard tomorrow. But I'm probably going to, look, when I'm in Dallas, I try to link. I try to go to, I like, I love Dallas.

It's my home. It's the big city closest to where I grew up, aka 10 minutes from where I grew up. So I like to go out and see the town. I'm going to give you two options for what we could do during the day on Saturday. All right. One we've already talked about. JFK.

We go see JFK go do that tour. I would be very interesting to see that. And then also maybe we do a noon show at medieval times. I don't know. They run all day. I'll keep a buck with you, Playboy. I ain't doing that. You can go.

Will and I can branch off. But Will's not getting into like right before the show. Oh yeah. Dang it. Gosh, darn it. Fuck Brett into it. I don't know.

Brett might be interested. Brett didn't watch game. You know, Knights of Seven Kingdoms though. I won't go with Dave. Get up. Go with them, Dave. You'll make his day, dude.

Man, it's just getting me dark in there. And like, I'm going to get out. Be like, get you a turkey leg, hoss. What if our night wins, though? Like, what if we have like the

Red Knight and fucking crushes the tournament. You were thinking about that? You ever think about that? Actually, you know, now that you put it that way, this changes things. You don't want to pay an extra couple bucks and go through the dungeon

and see all the torture devices? No, I've already seen your dungeon at your apartment. You've never actually been over to my place once. I dropped you off though, or I came and picked something up. Dave took a leak in my place. I did.

I took a fat-ass piss in his bathroom. Oh, shit. Is that true? It's true. I would have just pissed in the street, but I was like, man, I'm 41. on. Yeah, I don't do that. I honestly thought about it. Do you really, do I have to go inside? Do I just let it spray a little bit? Then, yeah, truck yard four o'clock.

Truckyard four o'clock. I know what you're thinking, Dallas. You're like, whoa, what if it's raining? I don't think it's going to be raining at that point. I think it might be overcast and it might be a little cool with that wind coming out of the north, but cool being like in the 60s, mid-60s, upper 60s. That sounds great. That means that really opens up the fit options, in my opinion. If for some reason, We will make the call by tomorrow. This happened to us before. And if for some reason, it looks like,

man, guys, it's just going to be a washout. We can't go to truck yard. It's going to be outdoors. We will pivot to a place in the area and make it easy for everybody. And we will post it on Twitter, Instagram,

on the Patreon, on our personals. We'll post it everywhere. We will let you know. Yeah. Hell, we'll probably send out a fucking email. Yeah.

We'll let you know. We can do that. Just, we're monitoring. Okay, but I think it's going to be fun. Mm-hmm. You think? No, I mean, like, I think it's going to be fine, but it's going to be fun, too.

It's going to be fun. We have a lot of fun. We have a lot of rowdiness. Yes, we do. I'm really excited because I keep hearing from people that are coming. I think it's going to be a scene. Oh, Aztec guy will be there. He moved back to Dallas.

Oh, he did? He reached out to you? He did. We were on a text basis. Oh. Do you think he's going to, you know, he's got. We're boys like that. You know, he wore a custom Dylan shirt to the last Dallas meet up.

He did. I know. Cool Adam's going to be there. I think Jake from the dumb zone's going to be there. Dumbzone Jake. Hey, dumb fucks. You want to meet Jake? Yeah, you dumb fucks.

Dumb fucks. What if Jake just like, what if he shows up and he just totally turns on us? And like he just whips our ass or something? Why would he do that? I don't know. He likes us. I know,

but what if like he did it for the dumb fucks? Did we pay him $690 or what? What's the cost of their episodes that you can film anywhere? if you pay them a certain amount of money. If you pay them a certain, there's a tier on their Patreon or something or repay them, I don't know if they're still doing it,

but they'll just come to your house and do a show. That's incredible. Don't do that with us. You don't want, trust me, you don't want Dylan in your house. You don't? Remember last time?

Yeah, all those hard-boiled eggs. You ate all their slonkers. It's going to be fun. Tossing salads. If you're within driving distance, just make the trip. It's going to be a blast. We promise you.

And if you ride your bike, wear a helmet. That too. Yes. And don't drink and drive. I guess I can go in a little bit about my weekend if you want. We're doing the same shit. I know, but I'm not going to be able to talk about going into Hawaii.

Oh. You can do it Monday. I'm trying to leave as soon as we're done with the meetup recap. All right, go. Pretty much, as a reminder, if everyone doesn't know by this point, Dan will be the producer next week. So I'll be looking forward to that producer week. But I'm heading to Hawaii Monday.

going to be getting there late at night. Then going to be just doing some cool Hawaiian shit. Going to go to the big island, going to go do some volcano tours, go to a lava tube. There's going to be some snorkeling, some just Waikiki, beach days.

Going to try to go to the Dole plantation, go see some pineapples and such. I really want you to try to fight a group of locals. I don't want to. I'm definitely going to go to a luau. That's for sure. And I'm not going to start a fight. You need to go get you a Spanish role.

The dude who mentioned that, we haven't played that yet because voice mouths. is tomorrow, but like, that guy, that sounds really good. I sent the voicemail to the girlfriend and she, she was like, I'm down. She was also like, why do you get so aggressive at the end? Yeah, whole thing. Oh, man, my goal for this weekend is that when Randy's FaceTiming, like, bust in the room and, like, finally get to talk to Meg.

Dude, yeah. I want to be like, I want to be like, piss ass and just be like, Hey, man, he's got a good one here, man. No, we give him a lot of shit, but he's actually a good guy, man. Take care of our boy. Right, you better be nice to him. Don't break his heart. Just because his ass fell off because he's on GLP once.

Don't break up with him. He's zumping pretty hard. That's Fass. But yeah, so I'll be back next Tuesday. But I'll be on Monday's episode for a little bit. Let me run it back before we get out of here. The segment during which we talked about what we talked about all week long. Don't buy us too many drinky poos in Dallas.

Apparently someone called that out. That's from trailer park boys. And I'm like, that makes sense. Randy watched Friday finally and said it was fine. Mickey D's CEO, Chris Kay, is our boner of the week. Chad Hanks pulled up on the homie and Medelline. So sick. Dolan retold the story of the bag of bones pulling a tuli on him.

Randy thinks Luigi Primo's dough is rubber, like a moron. We had a surprise Micah pop in. And finally, Dave shot pighead grease onto Dave's shirt. Micah shot pighead grease onto Dave's shirt. shirt in Nola. I didn't know that. That concludes run it back. He didn't mean to do it.

Pig head grease. Every time that's brought up, I always think about how I had to make the call to everybody that I was positive for the Cove and how, like, I thought, like, it was like the biggest deal ever. And I told people that you were in contact with. I guess that was protocol back then, wasn't it? Yeah, I called him. I called.

No. Did he call me first? Anyway, I had to tell people like, hey, guys. And I remember being like really like Like worried like I gotta break the news to the guys And now I look back on it I'm like Yeah It's fine

Damn we got lunch in 20 minutes This ran long Yeah we fucking Mikey weaned Is that enough time for you to get your shit gone I'll try to be Lickety split All right well uh see you in Dallas Bye

Bye
