Ranchos All right, we're back Wednesday morning Circling Back podcast Welcome Welcome to the show So who'd everybody vote for Just playing y'all

It's fun to play Randall Trebaki You play too much I think I play an adequate amount Hi Dave An adequate amount of playing Yes It is an adequate amount of playing

Yeah, you have a good mix. You have a lot of fun, but you have a lot of raughtiness too. I work by a moda, I don't know, I'm saying a motto of my work hard, play hard. You ever hear about this concept before? That's really cool. We should adopt that. Yeah. Company culture theme. As our momo. Our momodo. Yeah. Yeah. Hot start. Hot start. Humid outside. Humid in this office. Muggy morning. That's what I said when I came in. It is muggy.

It feels like, as Randy put it, I believe on the show yesterday, it feels like the sky is going to spit on us. What did you say? That was a weird way. Yeah. That's a weird way. Yeah. Well, you see, cold call.

Great episode of cold calls. Even the chats just wasn't. The people are loving it. Apparently, Dylan was going to spit on some backers at the meetup or something. I don't know exactly. You have to listen to the episode about what that's all about it. I was just hoping the rain wasn't going to spit on us because we have some precipitation in the forecast. Randy turned into funny guy

when we had a ladies on the line. You turned into seductive guy when we get ladies on the line. This isn't about that. No, I don't. This isn't about me. You are seductive guy. You turn into Zaney Randy

when the chicks were on the line, dude. I made a Christopher Walkin impression. A goo-goo, gaga. Yeah, we want the people to check out the cold calls. For more of that type of stuff. Go watch cold call. It was good.

It was good. We did. We talked to a mommy. We talked to... Another lady. Talked to Tanner Out Lake Waywayway. Tanner out Lake Wayway. I need to crack open his bourbon.

He brought me bourbon like a year ago. His church bathroom story will shock you. It's just, it gave me like, it was almost like putting me in a weird spot because I just, I knew exactly what he was going through. It's just not fun. But you'll have to listen. Check out Patreon. And then we have, we have voicemails recording later today. still a little bit of time to get your VMs in.

I call them VMs sometimes. 888 618-48-4-4-22. It's the pipeline. I understand that some people have, some people get cut off. It's not happening to everybody, though. That's the really annoying thing. So I don't know what's going on there. Yeah, you're supposed to have two minutes,

but it seems like some people are just knocking the full two minutes to record their voice. Really? Yeah, it's been happening. And I don't really know what to do. What else? Uh, shouts to, I think, you know what, I think I'm going to say that it's backer week. We had some backers stop by two days ago.

We had backers, uh, Becca and. And now that was Bethany and Page. This is, I wrote down here. Okay. Oh, someone, someone. I believe Jake. Someone deleted it from the down. Okay.

Oh, that was me. That was me. That was me. I thought we already did it. My bad. Wow. But they stopped by and gave us some Guinness. They did?

We've got eight Guinness. Yeah. Becca and Jake. It's a good day to crack one. I'm not saying I'm going to at this point, but it's a little early for me. Get you a booze drink, huh? That's going to be you on Sunday. No.

I am going to have a couple of drinky poos, not too many. Yeah, thanks everybody for coming by. I always like seeing, you know, our parking lot's pretty dull. occasionally we get a guy on a scooter dragging like a big piece of wood behind another building

we're just like all right and then occasionally you get you get a lot of people who are lost and you'll see when they, as soon as they turn into our parking lot they realize this is not it this is certainly not it and then you get the look of the backers when they're walking up and like they're kind of looking

and they like you see him getting little excited. The young lady yesterday was very excited. She even, she was kind of hopping up and down when she got in here. Well, that's great. So yeah, we've had two sets of backers come by and then it's a meetup week. So it's backer week. Two shit of backers here, P. We love the backers. Anything to make it not producer week, you're going to do. Someone says it's podcast week in the chat. I believe it's also that. Did we forget to announce that again? If anything last week was maybe producer week, but nothing was on me. Next week, just so everybody knows, Randy's out.

And so if anything goes wrong in the production, producer week will fall on him. Okay. Dan is merely your proxy. It's true. That's right. So I just want you to know that. I guess we'll announce it.

Dan's failing in producing. Yeah. We've talked about. I was going to talk about it tomorrow. Oh, Dan. Yes, I'll be in Hawaii all of next week. and next Monday. But I'll be here Monday.

I took that Monday off. Mm-hmm. Well, I get in at 9 p.m. So. On Monday? Yeah, that next Monday. Damn. So I will be here Monday to recap the meetup, and then I'm heading straight to the airport.

So Dan will be producing on Monday, but I will be here for the first place. Wait, are you going to be sitting on the couch or here? Where are you going to sit here? I'll probably sit right next to you. Yeah, that's, I did that to myself. Shocker. On the very uncomfortable chair. You don't like that chair?

It's not that bad. It's the way that it positions your body. You have all the lumbars apart now so you don't feel as much. Go sit in that other chair and see how bad it is. I don't want to do that. I need it, dude. I'm 41. I need to support.

Support your local lumbar. Is that where we're going to go if we get rained out of a truck yard? Going to go lumbar? Okay. No, I don't think there's a lumbar. Lumbar leaveable. A lot of jokes. Speaking of jokes, Dylan Schifery's here making jokes over there in the couch.

Would you guys be comfortable? Excuse me. Excuse me. Do you guys feel comfortable traveling to Mexico right now? Considering, you know, the El Minchot situation? Depends all what part. Would you fly into Cancun and go to surrounding areas? Okay, I'm going to Mexico at the end of this month.

Oh, hold on a second. It's been on the cow for a long time. Let's not play this game. Hold on a sec. Anyway. Continue. I'm just going to be playing this game. Yeah.

So Isla Mujaris is muheris. Proper pronunciation is where we're supposed to go. I feel okay with it. Chelles is scared. She thinks Cabo is a safer place and it probably is a safer place to go. She's thinking about pivoting to Cabo. Would you feel... That's a big pivot.

Other side of the country. It's a very big. I think during the El Minchos situation, I think that there was a like a shutdown in the Cancun area, but not in Cabo. Porto Vallerta, right? Porto Vallarta was where most of the shit was going down, yeah. I'm not really great with my Mexican geography. So I don't know where that is in relation to Cancun. Like how far?

Very, it's very far away. Okay. Like Cabo's closer. And Cabo's not close to it. Yeah, I don't know. I haven't really seen much. There's been some other things in the news. I don't know if you guys have been following this,

but some other things that have kind of taken it out of the headlines. I know. I mean, since that grabbed headlines for, like, a couple of days, there hasn't been much on it. So we're thinking about pivoting. Maybe consult your local, the U.S. Embassy down there. Check on.

Be like, hey, it's dawn. Is it safe? Is it finally safe for me to come through? Our boy, come through. Our boy Mitchie was just in Cabo. And what you ask him? I mean,

obviously, we would have heard about it if it wasn't. I think Cabo's probably safer. Anyway, that's where my head's at right now. I don't know what to do. Man. I want Chelsea to feel safe.

Vacation Dylan, already thinking about his vacay. Yeah. Been a while. I've been on a beach vacation a long time. Is Dan going to be your proxy while you're out? Yeah, who's filling in for you?

I don't know. I don't know. Maybe Dan, maybe Big Game Brett. Brett ain't going to have time to fill in a whole week. Maybe we'll. Maybe we'll take a step forward. Maybe he'll take a step forward.

Oh, yeah. He'll be the podcast host. With that being said, me being out, I think, I was talking to Schwarzenen, we might do Bit Madness starting the 18th. I think brackets are going to be coming out end in this week. So be a look out for stuff. I'm been a weird spot with Bit Madness because I don't like to, I like to be a little bit surprised. I don't like to know going in like everything that everybody's saying, but I have been kind of peeping it a little bit.

So that's good to know. 18th? Is it a two-day affair? Usually spans a good four episodes. We're going to do four. Maybe we usually do one episode is the full. We keep it quick. People like it when it's quicker.

Yeah. A quicker segment as opposed to like an entire episode. I think we usually do, you know, the full first round. And then another episode is the second round. and then we go Sweet 16 Elite 8 on another episode and then Final 4

championship on another so usually we expand it over four episodes We should do the deal where we do the semifinal and then wait like two weeks Yeah Like they do for the Super Bowl

Keep people on the edge of their seats And then like are like Oh yeah We do like a whole week of media leading up to it And the next thing you know bang The big game

we'll check we'll figure it out but that's that's good to know i'm excited bit madness always hits uh newsletter watch dot substack.com um please go subscribe to our youtube we're very close to uh is it four or five four subscribers yeah think four go subscribe give this video like too if you're watching right now just hit that hit the thumbs up button right now yeah and uh make sure if i don't there's probably there's got to be some people who aren't subscribed go subscribe on apple and Spotify and whatever other podcast options there are if you're not. That's important, too. Leave a review.

I haven't told people to leave a review in a long time, but we need that going again. Oh, yeah, we need to do some reviews and just read them on air. Yeah, we haven't done it in a long, long time. Maybe since Will was here. Can you do reviews on Spotify? I believe so. Ooh, you can get some, I know we have a bunch of Apple ones. Maybe we should start getting some Spotify reviews too.

Those are a fun place to start doing new ones. Let's do it. Before we jump into it, I want to give a shout out to our good friends at Fair Harbor. I mean, what's there to say about Fair Harbor that we haven't already said? Well, a lot because you've got spring coming up. It's already like the weather patterns officially for us in Texas at least. It's shifting spring. Warming up, coming a little bit more humid.

You got some potential storms in the forecast. Go check out the spring collection at Fair Harbor. It's great. We got the early look at it. I've got it hanging in my closet. officially swapped out some of my winter gear. I did, though, I did keep my Fair Harbor crew necks hanging in my closet because I like having those for just wet, just to wear them around. They're just great. It's still crew neck season around here. The other crue necks are

great. You get what I said. They got Terry Cloth polos that we're excited about that we haven't yet gotten their hands on, but they look awesome. The jeans, man, I can't stop wearing the jeans. I wear the jeans all the time. They have great, comfortable jeans. Randy also wears them almost every day. I love them. You think, you know Fair Harbor for their swimwear, which is really, really great. But it's much more than that, like we said. But I did get some of the swimwear, and it's fantastic. They've also got the hoodies, the shirts, like we were saying.

and said it was perfectly safe slash fine. So there you go. Thank you, Stacy. That's great feedback. Sure with her fam. I will pass that along to Chels. Her friend went with her fam. Okay,

because I was going to say, if Stacy went, I mean, everybody knows her mom's got to go on. Oh, yeah. Like the song. It's a bit of problem.

Even I know that one. Fountains of Wayne. Fountains of Wayne. That's the band. Surprise segment alert. Dylan. Take it away. The segment is called, would you have reported this?

So I'm going to tell a little story, and then I'm going to ask you, would you have reported this? All right. So I dropped Parks off at school this morning, super early because he had rehearsal before school, 7 a.m. drop off. And so I had some time. So I took Stella to the trail. We did four miles on the trail. Is this the same play? Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. They do rehearsal for like two months. on two. Damn. I know. Seriously. He's playing chip, a little teacup and Beauty and the Beast. Not Chip games. No, different chip. Anyway, we did four miles on the trail. Okay. I was just, I just want to let you know. That's not really part of the story. No, we know, dude. Surprise you didn't do, Tim. Anyway, we're walking through auditorium shores. And there is a gentleman walking along the like the river's edge right there town lake ladybird lake whatever you want to call it

and he is uh got a backwards cap on wearing or just wearing a t-shirt jeans and he had a beard and he was carrying a machete now what makes this sort of interesting is that it's the exact same location, I mean, exact same location where about a year and a half, two years ago, there was a machete attack right there. And someone got chopped up pretty bad. Like almost lost an arm or did lose an arm or something. Like someone that was just running on the trail from what I remember. Yeah. The person who was attacked? Yeah. Yes, correct. Was this got clearing brush? He was not, he was not a construction worker, didn't appear to work for the city or anything. I'm not even, I'm not even going to say he was homeless. He didn't,

He may have been, but he didn't quite look at, he just looked like he didn't belong and he was walk around with a machete, not harming anyone, obviously. It didn't look like he was like eyeing people on the trail looking for a target or anything. But it was just peculiar because of what had happened there previously. So he was holding it. It wasn't in like a sheath. He was holding it walking around, just kind of looking around and along the river there. And people were clearly very uneasy about the situation. It was looking around at each other, like, what do we do here?

Should we say something? or should we do something. I let it be because chances are it was a harmless situation. It's not against the law to have a machete in the state of Texas. Randy probably knows that. Anyway, would you have reported this? I'll say it. I ain't afraid to be a narc.

See something, say something. I probably would have reported it. I've gotten a lot better about reporting things, though, and calling 311 if I see something on the highway or something. Okay, let's talk about what did you see? you saw someone, you didn't see any unlawful behavior. No. I don't know if I'd call 911. I would have called 311 and just been like,

hey, there's a guy just walking out of trailer of machete and I don't know, a suspicious character. What was 311 going to do? They're not even, they're going to come out and see what the color of his energy was. And if it was a hostile aura. They're like, woo. Yeah.

This is certainly not amber. Yeah, that's a weird one. I don't think it's weird. I don't think it's out of the ordinary to feel a little bit like on alert when you see someone walking with the machete that isn't in like, doesn't have like a worker's vest, like somebody who's down there clearing out some stuff. Walking the trail is interesting in Austin. If you, if you're unfamiliar, it's this, it's the lake runs. It like borders downtown on the south end of Austin, basically. So it's right next to downtown.

And so you see some some sketchy characters. from time to time, surely, even early in the morning, you'll see some people who are just kind of make you uneasy. People, they look threatening at times and just, you know, people talking to themselves. It's just, it's a little bit, you know, it can make you feel uneasy. See, the weapon in the situation is like what makes me think more that I'll report it. Like someone's screaming at the top of their lungs to themselves on, you know, city street. You see it all the time.

It's like whatever. But someone with a weapon that could do some harm, like maybe just call it. Yeah, he wasn't clearing brush. It's like, why do you have this? You know, what good could you be doing right now? I don't know, man. Do you think he was headed to a dojo? I don't think he was headed to a dojo.

I don't know what type of martial arts uses machetes, too. Okay, a martial art elitist over here. Oh, mister, I went to Japan. We only use the finest blades, Valerian Steel. Yeah, if he was walking around with a katana, I'd be like sick, dude. That's just a samurai. I wouldn't have reported it because I would, if I walked the trail or when I walk the trail, I usually have my nunchucks.

Okay. So I'm not really worried about shit. Like, fuck it. Something pops off. You get the chucks out. I get the chucks out, man. I come through with them. Are they your bird dogs nun chucks?

Yeah, those aren't going to do much damage. No, these are made from the finest. These are actually from Morocco. Japanese steel. Valerian. Oh, wow. Wow. Yeah.

Seems just kind of like a waste. used Valerian steel Well, they're quite heavy Okay, well, you know Okay If I had a guess Someone reported this this dude Yeah, if you felt like that

And you could tell other people felt like that Somebody definitely This young lady and her boyfriend Where they were kind of like They jogged past me like Right of we crossed Like past this guy She looked back to me like

Oh, I don't know That's weird Like yeah Did they run by And did give you like Hey Hey actually they had a drone following them filming them jogging i was rocking the trail

and i look over in this guy had a machete and i didn't know what to do so i called the police i wonder if that drone has a strike feature on it like a little just like dude that would be sick yeah it'd be real sick yeah just die bombs doesn't have it just not like c4 or strap to it but it's just it's enough to buzz like hey back up little m80s yeah little m8s yeah little ms yeah Yeah, I don't think I I'll let it be I don't know Now when you check the news

And you see that Somebody got hacked up Yeah That's the one you're gonna long back I'd feel pretty terrible about that Yeah and everybody would let you know about it The chat would be like just letting you know Yeah I would I would probably stay off the internet for a few days

Local podcaster We want to know what's his deal Local podcaster does absolutely nothing when sees a threat. Yeah, that's tough, man, because it's like, on the one end, you got a guy doing nothing wrong, in theory, under the eyes of the law. But on the other,

shit's popped off before, man. She has popped off in that same area. And also, that is the infamous Lady Bird Lake. There's, yes. We've had some bodies in there. That's where, none of have been hacked up to my knowledge, but just saying. That's the Rainier Street.

Rippers dumpers dump in some weird things happen weird things do happen and abnormal amount of bodies turn up in that lake thou play we don't know theories only at this point but none as far as I understand have been hacked up with a machete damn I might come through with my bow staff oh yeah I thought you had nun chucks I have a full array of weapons okay I'm not even gonna tell you the extent dude I need to come over to see your armory. Yeah, I want to peep that armory, too. It's in the cellar.

Oh, shit. Nice. Yeah, we had a stormed cellar put in. How do you storm? Do you have them, like, all hung up on the wall? I can't talk about that. Okay. Some of them are in a safe.

Nice. Yeah. A sword safe? I once lived with a guy who had a gun safe. He had a bunch of guns in there. It was temporary. Temporary. temporarily I live with him

but he had some big dogs he has some serious shit in there like what some fucking big dogs some um I think he had a SKS sick yeah I think it was all

I think it was all I don't think any of it was like modified down you know this person was all on the up I think I never really asked to see it and really didn't have any use for it time you know I wasn't under siege yeah I get it though

Seeing a weapon in public, regardless of what it is, does make you just feel uneasy. Even if it's she. Yeah, whatever, dude. There's that guy. Put your pearls, lib. There's that guy that walks up and down South Amar who carries a rifle on his hip. Have you seen this guy? I don't think I've seen this guy.

He gets a thing on him, too. He gets reported all the time. And apparently he's a well-known individual. He wears a mask, too. So he looks, like, very threatening. No one cared about him until he put on the mask. And apparently he's just like, if you ask him, he's like, I'm just looking out. You know, I'm just keep it on me for defense in case you have to see anything.

He's like a well-meaning, well-intentioned person as far as I understand. What's his superhero name? Yeah. Dude, I don't know. But like I was at a, I was at the bar and there was like some biker guys there too. And they like both of them had like knife sheaves like very obviously. Like they were ready to scrap at any point. They were like nice and they weren't making any problems.

But I was just like, oh, man, clocking that. Wasn't Twin Peaks, was it? No, no. This was over at Copperhead. But one head. head at like horizontal like at the back of his like uh okay it's kind of sick so it's like you just at any point interesting uh yeah huh oh yeah i don't know see something say something i have not seen the the the rifleman i've seen them i think twice yeah what kind of mask is it is it the mask from

scream it's the mask from the mask no Somebody provoke me. I don't remember what it looks. I think it might have a skull on it. Okay. That's. So he looks like, yeah, he looks kind of terrible. But is it like a Bella clobba?

I don't, I don't think so. But it's like a Halloween mask? It's more on the Halloween side of mask, yeah. Interesting. Somebody threaten me. Okay. You know a lot of people are just, they're itchy. Somebody numchuck me.

A lot of people want that moment. Yeah, I don't. That moment we're like, here it is. I've been trained for this. I've been peck in the last 40 years, finally get to use it. Yeah, I don't ever want that moment. Unrelated. I did see, kind of related.

No, not really. I did see we had a sub. Why have the chat say, I got to know. Someone said, I have to walk with my hands in my pockets to conceal my weapons. Okay. They're registered. probably has to register his fists. That's true.

That's good. You understand? Yeah. I was going to say the submarine crew, the naval, and the naval submarine, as they often are, the shot a torpedo and sunk an Iranian ship, I guess, in the last 24 hours, like the first one since World War II, like the submarine fleet's been itching to fire a torpedo. Yeah, yeah.

Like, I had to read that. I thought I was getting, I thought I was getting fake newsed. I was like, huh? Is there footage of this? There's grainy footage, but yeah. I mean, you're like, oh, I forgot. That's a thing to fire torpedoes. They're on the ship to have a ping.

It's like, it says a torpedoes hit in our way. They still do that. And then didn't goblamsky. Yeah, a lot of people died. Oh, that's too bad. Often what happens when you sink a ship. Well, there was that one ship. that launched a torpedo at a ship that wasn't actually there.

Okay. Because there was an AI like hack. AI was involved in it. You hear about this? And then it actually turned the torpedo around and blew up at the submarine. Torpedoes are kind of sick. It's just an underwater missile, basically. Yeah, that's what it is.

It's got a propeller on it and shit. No, they were going to attack another ship, but they were looking up the periscope, and then they were listening. And all they could hear on the other ship was a bunch of, drunken sailors singing Louis Luai. Louie, Louie. So they're like, oh, it's just sailors.

That song, that song, Fox. Loua, Louie. There's 10 people who've seen that movie. Yeah, their radar guy had a really good hearing. And, like, one guy dropped some change on a different boat and he can tell exactly what type of change was dropped. It was sick. I'll be honest, I don't know what movie that is.

Kelsey Grammer in Down Periscope. A good movie. Funny comedy, yeah. I really want, Will have never seen it. And I was like, dude, I think you should watch this movie. Maybe he's seen it by now. It's a fun.

It's a fun war movie. From the chat, Dom Periscope reference in 2026. Hell yeah. Dude's really like that. All right, well, fun stuff. Yeah, I think I might have. I don't know. I'm trending towards yeah,

but also like I banked on someone else had already done it also it would a lot of it might depend on like was he like making eye contact like he wasn't no here's the thing here's the thing Dylan didn't report when a guy flashed a gun at him

an old man so I'm not surprised he didn't report forgot about that there's an old bag of bones though but Dylan Dylan was the only target that day yeah yeah I was out of harm's way you knew that guy wasn't that guy wasn't out looking for a body he was just trying to show this young pop i do young in quotes um how easily that guy was set off though man yeah dude he had done it

before you fucked around and almost found out that day he flashed peace at me because i well because i was pulled over i wanted to talk to him yeah i mean but i wanted actually i don't know right you know what there's a the stewies don't know tell the stillies real quick there's some new people that don't know this story most who don't know i was driving on my street and this old man and a sedan and when I say old, I'm talking like 80 plus. He was a bag of bones. He was about to pull out right in front of me, right in front of me. So I gave him like a quick little beat. I honked at him to like get his attention and let him know that I was, I'm just don't pull out because I might hit you. He sees me and gives me double birds. Like his initial response is to go double birds

at me because I was like, gave him a courtesy like, hey, don't get in an accident honk, please. and That's sick When I saw the double birds And this is a quiet street Like they're no They're only cars on the road This is your old place

Yes So you can just Can you say what the street it is Because it's a Toomey Oh okay Not the street I thought it was What do you think it was?

Barter Springs Oh no it was on Toomey So a pretty quiet street Considering like the part of town That it's in And I'm like All right dude

That was so unnecessary to give me double birds. And I'm not only am I not even like angry with you. I was giving you like a courtesy like don't get in a rec honk. And so I stopped, I pulled off and I stopped the car and I put the window down. I wanted to be like, hey man, you know, I want to be like, hey, what's that? Kind of a conversation. He just whips, he fucking whips his shit around me and drives off in front of me. And you were giving altercation.

He was giving altercation. altercation. I know, but he realized like, oh, fuck, like, I flip this guy off and now he's mad about it. As he pulled around me, he flipped me off again. Okay, this guy's sick. That's three birds. And then we make our way down the road. Three little birds. Yeah. Down road,

another couple hundred yards, and my building is right there. And as we're approaching my building, he gets his, he sees me behind him. He pulls his gun out of the console and holds it up. No one even like about it? He holds his gun up. And by that point, I was able to just turn into my garage and get out of the situation. Yeah, but like, I will say if a car, if there's a car, I'm engaged in like an awkward, like,

cut them off or he cut me off. And they, and I see them pull over. And it's probably different for an old bag of bones. But like, I'm, I'm expecting like, all right, well, this guy wants to give me a piece of, you know, of his mind and maybe even throw down. And look. But I had shown zero signs of aggression at this. point. Yeah, but you stop.

But just stopping, I think, is inside. I've only dealt with Dylan in traffic once before, seen him driving, and Dylan was flicking me off for a minute straight out the sunroof. This was the same. I'm probably more aggressive. This was the same exact location on that street where that construction market was who was walkie-talkie at me. Dude, maybe that's just like a, uh, it's like a dead zone for all, all civil.

That guy was a fucking lunatic. What? Civility? civility civility what the fuck dave heel heel or foil was the word i was trying to think of last week when we were talking about uh lunchbox on uh on bobby bone show he's the heel of the show oh yeah dylan wasn't here for that we talked bobby bones

randy he said lunchbox is the heel yeah he said lunchbox he's a dissenter but first you said he was selfish because there's definitely some things where like he Randy listens i listen a little bit Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's definitely a bit. But he's the heel or the foil. He is, yeah. That's my dog.

Yeah. Civility. Civility. Civility. Oh, should I go get my Ridge wallet for this next read? Yeah, do it. They want you to show it. I'll go get it.

Okay. A little peek behind the curtain. Look, if we weren't live, we'd normally cut that out, but not here. Transparency is key. Go get you a ridge wall and hoax? I can't believe. He pulled down. Like,

I'm just going to talk to this guy. Crazy ass motherfucker. He's blown his nose out there. He's not even getting his rich water. This guy had thrown three birds out. Three little birds. Hit you with three fucking birds. That's crazy.

I've never done that. No. I don't think I've ever done double birds. No, that's not true. I should have whipped that old man's ass. I'm more of like a drive-by and be like, thumbs down.

Boo. What you've done here is not good. Yeah, we've talked about this. The extent of my road rages. Oh, no. That's bad. Hey, I met the Texas group. I, for whatever, it's because I'm in the Sopranos rewatch, I've, in my car, in like minor things, I will turn into Jersey guy.

When I'm just like, somebody like, close to a red light, I'll go, come on. Yeah, what are we doing? And I'll immediately be like, what am I doing? It's a, oh. I don't know what you. It's fun. It's fun. Like, I totally get like why, like the appeal.

I get people, like a lot of people are like, oh, yeah, I want to move to New York City because it's just like, it's just a new beginning. No, you don't. You just want to fucking yell at people in traffic and be totally normal. That's sick. That's why people. You didn't move there to like start over and like go chase your dreams. Well, you did because your dream is to just be like, oh, this guy. Oh, fucking slime ball over here.

Fucking Kalachi. I'm driving here. Did you get that Ridge wallet? I got it, big dog. Ridge wallets, man. Tell us about that big old thick wallet you used to have. Oh, it was, I used to keep candy in there, a whole thing. Not really.

What? Why? You ever seen the Seinfeld episode with George? I guess. I know the fat wallet. Yeah, he had hard candy in there. Yeah. Anyway.

It was a thing, but, dude, you've really upped your game. I've switched to the ridge and I obviously will not be going back because I love this thing. Mine is actually leather. They have a mini metal. I like that one. If you're sitting on a thick brick all day wallet, man, I couldn't mess up your lower back, dude. Your lumbar. It's easy to fan the cards out when you need to put the plastic down.

Although this guy's usually the last one to do that when it comes time to any up at dinner. That's true. He's like, oh, where's my ridge wallet? I don't make those sound. Oh, you got to get this one. I'll get the next one. Hey, listen, it's super dope. It's sleek.

It fits in the pocket, obviously, very easily. Is that the 2.0? The Ridgewall at 2.0? Yes, you dumbass. Okay, I'm just inserting it. It's the most refined version of the Ridgewall. That's the thing. That's why I bring it up.

10% lighter. You might know that. Dylan, you're always saying this. Every gram matters in the Ridgewall at 2.0. Yeah. It found like the perfect balance. Dude. I think it's freaking awesome.

Has he made it out of Columbia? I don't know. Can you play the vid? Not the camea. The original. This is, this is a, I don't have a link. I slacked it to me. Yeah, he's slacky to me. Yeah, as I often do, buddy. Oh, as he often does. Bubba tub. But anyways, yeah, so he was stuck in Columbia. or something? Yeah, way to kill time. Yeah, he's stuck a call up. So his U.S. passport

while... He's a dual citizen. While not expired yet, was set to expire soon. And a lot of countries won't let you use it if it's like set to expire soon. I think like six months out or something, which I don't understand that rule.

I want to point out when we play this, this is, I bet he did this in one take. This is just excellent talking into the camera. He's a content machine, this is just a guy operating at a high level. As Dave said, he's a dual citizen. He's a Greek citizen as well. So he decided to travel to Columbia with his Greek passport. Dude, I was a Greek citizen and still am for life. Yeah.

Fuck yeah, dude. Yeah. Brothers for life. Speaking of which, is it Greek week? Are we officially locking that in for our... It's locked in, dog. Okay. Pledge of stories. Maybe we should have chat on because he's Greek. Like Janus. You saw a shiny object that was Greek week and he totally diverted from the SAG. I just, I didn't... It's Greek week. Or it will be. But Chet is stuck Or maybe

I don't know Let's listen to this Thank you So you all ready for a story time So I go to Puerto Rico Last week For my homie Max's birthday

That was good time Sick Then I'm in Puerto Rico And we're all about to leave I go Hmm I'm only you know Two, three hours away

For Medellín Why don't I go pull up On my homie Taylor Who lives in Medelline That's tight Fuck you Yeah Sounds good right

Let's check this out Check I'm traveling with my Greek passport because I'm a dual citizen. The reason I didn't use my American passport is because it's about to expire. And sometimes they don't let you in the country, even if it hasn't expired, but it's about to expire. So I take my Greek passport. I'm supposed to leave today. I go to the airport to check in my flight three hours early.

This is an international flight. They tell me that if I'm using a foreign passport, I need a green card to get back into America. I don't have a green card because I'm not. an American citizen. I don't have my American passport with me. So I'm literally stuck in Colombia. I'm stuck in Medellin. Granted, there's worst places to be stuck.

But I literally have no fucking idea what I'm going to do. And the only embassy to get this shit settled is in Bogota. I don't want to go to Bogota. So, uh, yeah. free me. You know what I'm saying? Free me. Dude, he had to go pull up on this boy.

He pulled up on his boy in Medellin. Why not? He's only a few hours away. Why can't he pull up on Bogotaa and get this settled, dog? He doesn't want to go there. Why not? I wonder if Bogota's not as safe. I don't really know much.

I'm going to expose my ignorance of Colombian geography as well. You're not as worldly as Chet Hanks? I want to be friends with Chet Hanks. Certainly not. Greek citizen. I was formerly a dual citizen. Shout out to me. I were announced.

I would trade one of y'all for Chet Hanks and the Fring Group, like, so fast. Yeah. That's the right. I wouldn't even be mad. He started White Boy Summer. I don't blame you. Maybe they wouldn't let him on the plane because of the chain he was rocking. Yeah, he does have, like, just a stainless steel chain.

Dude, he pulled up on the homie. Because it was only two to three hours away. Fuck it. What is he supposed to do? Those are six and a half foot chains. that uh really that johnny hand he's gonna have to go to bogatah like that's just gonna have to happen yeah or maybe i mean maybe somebody can mail him up his passport or his uh other yeah his passport u.s passport but i'm traveling internationally i i feel for my passport every like two minutes i'm

so afraid of losing it he didn't even lose he just didn't bring it i know i know i think is it is it a red flag i'm gonna i'm gonna expose myself again done that a lot lately Is it a red flag if you got two passports? Are they like, uh, it shouldn't be, right? I guess not if you're a dual citizen. I don't know. Why don't you just show him your dad? My dad's Tom Hanks.

My dad is literally Tom Hanks. Yeah. My dad was like the first COVID patient. Can you imagine him like being like, Forrest Gump? My dad's fucking Forrest Gump. Woody from Toy Story? Castaway, ever seen it? He's been in a bunch of movies.

Yeah, we could go big. Big? Big's my favorite. Big was on my staying home from school sick, early years. You got mail? The one where he was stuck at the airport. A pulse saw. Was that good?

The terminal? Oh, yeah. It was decent. The dominole. It's decent. Catch me if you can. Good. Listen, a lot of films.

You know, the guys got a catalog. Uh-huh. Also goes to Galatwas. That thing you do. Our boy, Dr. Mark Allen has seen him at Galilee. It's not in the Playtone catalog. You don't hear what I'm saying. Captain Phillips?

I'm doing that thing you do. You never saw it? He goes to Galoise and you don't even care? Kevin Sully? I didn't. I don't need to see Sully. Yeah, he's been in a lot again. That thing you do was a cute movie. I enjoyed it. He was in Kirby Enthusiasm.

Chat was. Pretty funny scene, actually. He was a troupe. He was. And Larry David decided not to thank him for his service. And it became a whole thing. Every time you're doing that thing you do. It's not in the Playtone catalog.

The brother Colin Hanks also in a lot of movies, Randy, you want to go through those? That new Elvis movie. Orange County. And the mom. What's her name? Mrs. Hanks. It's not her name. I apologize to her.

Toy Story 2? They survived COVID. They did. What they in Australia when they got it? They were abroad for sure. Oh, no. You got COVID in Australia. No, no, don't stay there.

Yeah, I got it in my fucking home. I had to stay home in my, I was not fun. I got it at a pop punk cover concert. I got it no one. I got that Omicron one. I mean, fuck Omicron, bro. Cool, Adam, got it the best way. Like, being able to say I got COVID while crowd surfing is like, yeah.

Yeah, but y'all don't know that that's the moment he got it. That's the moment he got COVID. Can't say that. Yeah. I saw it. I was there. I was a witness to it. Yeah, you were a witness.

you watched you watch it enter his body and the viral shed began uh-huh play the cameo we got for we got it for dillon right yeah i don't know if we got our backer got it but uh yeah i don't steal that valor i don't know wow yeah this one goes out to dorne dave and will i hope you guys have a great white boy summer with all the bros dude but one thing i got to know is dorn what's your fucking deal dude like everyone wants to know what your deal is dude what's dorn's deal. What's your fucking deal, Dorn? Dorn? What's your fucking deal, dude?

Shit. Dude, he's an electric. I'm sorry, man. Everything. He's just naturally... We had that backer on either cold call or on voicemails who told us about the time he saw Chet. He was with his dad. Like, he was at... Was it a ski? I think he was skiing, yeah. And he just was like, what's up? And didn't he just give him, like, the most absurd, like,

You probably made that sound No, I think you did like a Jamaica He did something absurd He is one celebrity That I probably would say something to If I saw him I think you should Given how this

This situation went down When he was skiing I think he hit him with a like I don't know if it was a Jamaican accent Or whatever they said Something dude To where you're like Okay

Well he was ready That's sad He's fucking electric It is just so funny The chat might remember That interaction I'm referenced I know the interaction.

I can't remember what he actually said, though. It's just so funny how different him and his brother are. I know. Chet, it's being Tom Hanks' sons. I mean, if you're like, Colin Hanks is more of,

like, the serious Hollywood, actor, director type. Yeah. Chet, if Chet's gonna be like the... Chet gets roles because he's... Oh, Chet.

He's not that bad of a guy. Like, he hasn't never... There's been no issues, right? Like, I'm missing. I mean, his father is a famous actor. I don't think he was, like, on the verge of being canceled or...

No, I don't think. I was just wondering if he'd ever had any, like... I mean, people say he's appropriating, like, Jamaican culture sometimes, but... I mean, certainly. That feels fairly innocent. What if he's... I mean, it's done it so much that it's just kind of become him. It's crazy.

It was a crazy... I didn't know what Chet was doing before that. But at some point, Chet decided, like, this is going to be my thing. And everybody's like, I don't know, man. I don't know if you're supposed to do this. He did it once. And everyone was like... Hey, maybe you shouldn't do that, but then he just kept going.

It's like that old bag of bones who flipped you off three times. He kept doing it. He just kept going. And then he said, you know what? Here's a gun. Not only am I going to shoot you the birds, I might just shoot you with the weapon. That's right. Cloud Atlas.

What do you think he said when he pulled that thing? I like to think the old man. Ah, suck on this. Young wepper snapper. Suck on this, Beetlejuice. I don't know. What do they call you? They don't call me Beetlejuice.

What do they call like young? They've been calling you Beal Juice lately. Talk on this one. Their white-ass face. A little pipsqueak. Big head-looking ass. What if he's just always that angry? That old guy?

Yeah, the old fucking bag of bones. You scared him, dude. When you pin somebody into a corner, they're going to hit you with three birds and a pistol. I didn't put him in a corner. You honked out. He led with two birds. You slowed down.

Like you wanted smoke. after I drove past him, though. I know that's probably worse. What if he pulled out of Tommy Gun? Just let it sing on me? I'm gonna not be here, Dave. I know, but wouldn't you rather go out via Tommy Gun? Fuck yeah.

Because then it's like, oh shit. If I'm gonna get shot to death, I want it to be with a Tommy Gunn. Dylan was in some shit. Dylan was fucking with the old bomb. Damn, was he racketeering or some shit? Dude, he was about, was he talking? Was he going to flip?

Was I snitching on somebody? Yeah. I could see you wearing a wire. Yeah, me too. Yeah. You're wearing a wire right now. I can see the microphone. Can you relocate my family to somewhere nice?

Oh, it's blown. Get in the ears. Please. I'd like to go somewhere nice. I'd like to have a simple life near a forest where I can go walking around the trail, do my five mile walks. But yeah, I'll flip on the boss. I'll testify.

Shut up. God, that's so you. It's not. It's just not. Maybe that's what was happening. I need to find out more about this old bag of bones. Yeah. This is a cold case.

I didn't see him again. Yeah. He's waiting. Yeah. It's probably stalking you. Waiting for the right time. Waiting to strike. Old people just get mad, man.

They're fed up with life. They've had enough. What if that was old Johnny boy? They see a young strapping lad like me and like this guy's got it all, man. Got all in front of them. Young. What if that was old Johnny Boy, Ruggiano? And he's waiting.

And like that was, he was coming to get retribution. Went to school with some Ruggianos. Well, maybe you went to school with the wrong one. Maybe you stuffed the wrong Ruggiano into a locker. Uh-huh. No, I wouldn't have stuffed Justin into a locker. He was older than me in a, we called him the Italian stallion. He played in the bigs, actually.

Really? Yeah. Like Janus? Oh. Oh, wait, I know that name. Yeah. We've talked about this guy. Yeah.

Well, do you want to apologize to him right now for saying you whip his ass? I didn't say that. It was kind of implied. You honked at his grandpa. Shout out to Justin. It wasn't him. He pulled out the blicky on you. He did.

That happened. I'll tell you this much. Last night. Oh, look. Last night I pulled out that Harry's. Oh, shit. You got fresh on us with the Harris. I had to do it to him.

Yeah. You know, I like to have my stubble right for the meetup. Sure. But right now, man, I got that smooth Harry shave. Oh, my gosh. I leveled up when I got back into Harry's. I mean, I've been rocking with Harry's for a while. They sponsored us way back in the day.

And, you know, I've dabbled in other razors, but Harry's is the best, dude. It's like that handle is weighted perfectly. It's a metal heavy handle. It feels so good.

a barbershop quality shave with German engineered blades. Each blade is honed at three different angles to cut hair cleanly at the root without tugging. Yeah, you see any tugs on this? I don't think so, Tim. No tugs, man. I'm not at all, man. I'm just now realizing how smooth my face is. And

hey, where'd you find out about circling back? Tell them circling back. That's us. That's us. That says, you're false. Roll that beautiful Kalachi footage. No, let's just intro it. I don't know what the, nationally speaking, how popular the Kalachis.

And I'm putting them in quotes, because as we're going to learn, one man's Kalachi could be another man's what's it called? Well then I also looked it up and so I did not know what you guys referred to as collagees before I moved down here and started listening to this podcast.

I knew of something else and then also the whole sausage one might not be collagees but like the Danish looking kind of stuff that you can get at Lone Star collage. With like the fruit?

Yeah. Those maybe are the more like accurate collage. In Texas, I can tell you this. It is very normal and very popular. to go down to the donut shop. And it'll probably just be, it may just say donut on the outside.

Or it may have like a specific name or some people like Shipley's, whatever. But you go in and you say, I want some calaches. And you look and it is the bread, little weiner, maybe some cheese around the little wiener, maybe a jalapeno.

Sometimes you can get some ham in their house. Yeah. Maybe a booge drink. That's what I know of Kalachi to be. Me too. But here's a guy who hates it. And I believe these are from Shipley's. This is a typical Texas breakfast.

I can't even pronounce what the hell he's on. In the middle of this is protein. It's a hot dog, donut, combo cheese stuff, Texas bull crap, give yourself a heart attack in a box. And these guys eat them like it's okay. Protein. You just got to pull the protein out of the sun around. What is this guy?

We're just tucked in there to keep them warm. I just like to look at them. I get you excited? I wouldn't have done it. I don't get. That's like a glissie. Not what you get. All right.

So people are like, yeah, these are trash or no, whatever. I understand why people think they're trash. Like, I do get it. No one's, no one's eating these every day, are they? No, no. These are road trip. This is a road trip. This isn't a typical Texas breakfast, like he said.

Why do you also go into like a rhyme scheme there too? He like went knick-knack paddywack there. Did you hear that? It's a heart attack. Heart attack, Texas crap. He was, he was spitting. Um, this is a, the kids want donuts on like a random Saturday and I'll go in and I'm like, well, I'm not going to just eat donuts. So I need to get, I need to get a protein option,

teen option. He's talking about how unhealthy these are next to a box of donuts, which are clearly more unhealthy than a collage. Facts. At least you're getting protein, what's it and it's less sugar. Yeah, and like that other guy demonstrated, you can just pull it out of the bread. Yeah, don't do that. First of all, no one's doing that. We're not doing that. A colachi, uh, I like calaches. I never order them because it's just a lot of bread. Yeah. A lot of bread with a little bit of sausage in there.

And I don't know. There are other options that I like better. If you pull through the check stop or what's the other place, Ruskas? I don't know. I forgot what it's called. Ruskas might be the one off on the way to Houston. But if you're north about, we could do this tomorrow on Friday when we're driving up. could stop and get like they've got like the good ones with like not just a little weaner they get like the one with like good a good sausage and those go hard and good bread that's not just like something that you're going to get at like a baseball game feels this only a texas thing i don't think it's just a texas thing but i think shipwis is a texas company if i'm not mistaken yeah i believe so and then so like did you want to go into the broader talk of what like the debate what i'm

Kalachi is. Yeah, I do. Yeah. Because I, I assumed this is one of those things where it's like, I am always wondering, like, am I using this wrong? It's just like one of those things that we just do in Texas. And like, if I were to go to a place of the big Czech or Polish community, they would be like, you'd be doing that wrong, Haas. Yeah. So I had said this before. I'm trying to look it up right now. That I'd never heard of Kalachi's before. And then looking it up, it seems like the more fruit-filled, like, circular ones, are they typical ones? But I think these saws are defined. I was always confused when you guys talked about on the podcast before I moved down here,

because I know Kalachi as it spelled differently is like a little Polish cookie with, like, powdered sugar and, like, fruit and kind of like is folded up, like on the size. You're a little Polish cookie. Oh, thank you. And that's spelled K-O-L-A-C-Z-K-I, where Kalachi is spelled K-O-C-C-E. K-I-G. Yeah. So it's, you know, the C-Z-K-I is like Kla-S-K-K-K-I is like Kla-Ski.

Oh. I've never, I've never seen that word. In Poland, we eat Kla-K-K-Lachie. Dude, Will fuck with Kalachi's heavy. Yeah. He loves a Kalachi. Yeah, he's got a Kalachi problem. He stops when he's going to Dallas, I think, every time.

So, yeah, these are like the Polish ones. That check stop, by the way, has, like, great sandwiches, too, not just Kalachis. So. Place is always buzzing, man. That's a Kalachki? Yeah. Okay. So I remember.

Slovichex is the other one in West Texas. Ah, yes. So I remember during Christmas we'd always have these, someone bringing up, but like Kalachi is more of these, where they're more pastry and doughy. And then this says Texas style Kalachi. So there's a big debate right now. I think it's just that there's two different desserts or breakfast kind of dessert things that are just pronounced very similar.

And also, you know, it's Europe. Those borders didn't always exist. So who knows, culture spans the different, you know, the different countries are all in the same area. Check in Poland, share a border. How about, did you know that? Did your, did your Bobcha ever make them? My, my, my, my, my, my, my, Boucha. Your Boucha?

Is that what the grandma? That's grandma, yeah. Jashiy and Busha, grandma. That's right. Not your bobsha. You're thinking Babushka, which is the little, the little. A new Bobcha has entered the villa. Do you call her Boucher?

Polish. Yeah, we call her. Boucha Boucher and Jaji. She's a Polish grandmother. And don't ask me how to spell Jaji because it is a hard word to spell. Give your best shot. Joggi? Yeah.

I think it's like Z's and stuff. Let's see. I'm just going to look up Polish grandpa. It's Jaji Night at the villa. Yeah. That's how you spell, I think. I don't know. It's bad.

Dude, get you a T-shirt, Hoss. No, Jaju. How do you say uncle? Because you're an uncle. Uncle. I don't know. Hey, to quote when Brett said all the Polish stuff, I'm America. Sure.

Remember that discourse? I don't. That's why I stole a shrimp. Oh, yeah. He still has not killed you. Thankfully. I'm still looking out for it. He took that little cup that we got when we were out Tuesday and it was in his car.

And I'm like, what if he laced this with like poison on the rim? And the next time I took a drink. So I'm like, you know what, I'm just going to use this as a vase. I think he was just going to meet up with a couple girls. What? Oh, with the one cup. Gotcha. What?

This guy's crazy. Speaking of bread, how cool is he look on that? Not an aura frame transition, but that does, it's a cool pick of bread. But Klaski's are good. If you're ever in Texas, at least try some. I'm not a sweet breakfast guy. Sweet as it gets for me is like a syrup on a, on a, a pancake or a waffle.

I guess we haven't really described it because the bread is like a sweet bread. It's not just your typical little bread. This ain't your bread. Yeah, it is sweet. Yeah. You ever do chicken and waffles? I ate meatballs for breakfast a few times.

That is true. Wait, hold on. Whatever happened to that? I'm anti-chicken and waffle. Whatever happened to that? I bring you stew and then you say, I'm going to bring a meatballs. They're coming.

They're coming. No, they're coming. They're coming, dog. I'm going to make a lot. I have to make a lot. Because I can't give you just like four meatballs. I want to give you enough to where you could like freeze them. All right.

Oh shit. Oh shit. You're getting serious with this. How big are these balls? I don't do. I don't do huge meatballs. I do probably the size of like... The size that you just put when you said huge?

I've never seen a meatball that big, David. Oh, there's places to do big meatballs. That do like the size of a baby's head? Yeah. I'm not talking like... I'm not going to do like Dylan's head size of meatballs. I have huge. That's too big.

What if I gave you just a soccer ball-sized meatball? Mike, here you go, dude. And I actually rolled it to you. We feed off of it for a week? Yeah. You don't even roll it to me. Why? It's a ball.

That's what they do. I'll wrap it in foil. Okay. No, I'm, I'd also, I don't do tiny meatballs. I do, like, maybe lacrosse ball size at the most. Okay. Those are, it's healthy. That's a big ball.

I like to mix them up. When I make them, I make them by the dozen. And I'll do some small boys and I'll do some big boys. I think growing up, our size were more like golf ball sized. Okay. But like, it's probably a crossball. It's like, no, there's a spectrum there. Sick.

I'm looking forward to your meatballs, Dave. It's all I'm saying. I'm looking forward to telling you about BetterHelp because this episode is sponsored by Better Health.

They scheduled it last week just to give us like a bonus game, which I'm fine with, but I'm not going to be there. I think it's going to get rained out anyway

because if the field's too wet, they'll cancel it. But it's the text and it says, Hey, it's time to get group or it's time to get a walk-up songs, walk-up musics, ready to go. So, yeah, I don't know what we're going to do. I texted my wife and I said, is there anything that's sticking out? You did levels last season, right? He did levels, Avici levels. Did he fuck with it?

He loved it. But Alyssa's saying now, there's a, do you know who Joe is, DJO? Yeah, that's Steve from Stranger Things. I didn't know that. Yeah, that's his band. Well, Alyssa's like, he heard it one time on one of my daily mixes, and now we listened to it every morning. And then I said, okay, let me listen. And I listened.

And I'm like, this isn't walk-up music. When I'm back in Chicago, I feel it. So we're going to have to find him something. Maybe just get him like a hardcore Super Mario theme song. He loves the Mario. Do do do do do. Wow, wow, wow. It just goes in a dubstub.

That's my dubstep. That's pretty good. Bit madness, late, late entrant. That's that's real. I did. Yeah, I don't know. Get to find something. I don't know.

He's not in my, I don't, he's, he's in mom's car more than me, so she needs to figure it out. Should I just make him do like some obscure things? Some people are like, oh,

wow, this kid really isn't the music. He's so cultured. Why doesn't he just walk up to, I fucking love the boys? Dude. You guys, you guys put a playlist together last week while everybody was out.

Brett and I put a, it's a playlist called For the Boys and it includes a song. I fucking love the boys. The boys are back in town. Weed them boys. It's just about a song. Do we do them boys. The boys are back in town might be go hard.

It's a good song. It's a good song. Weedem Boys would be kind of sick. We also put the song that's trending on TikTok right now. It's like, fuck yeah, hell yeah. Shit, yeah, brother. Have you heard the song?

Do we need to do something with that? Yeah, probably. Because if we do something with that and use that song and that song's trending right now, that'll help us, right? Yes. Social media. A little peek behind the curtain of the algorithm. We're all just trying to figure it out. Got any meetup predictions?

Let's see here. Friday, y'all. Saturday, y'all. Monitoring the, sorry, real quick. Monitoring the forecast. Right now, I think the rain's going to be done in the morning. I was going to say I predict no rain. That's what I was going to say first.

I was going to say, I predict some rain. So I don't want to be, it might be spinning on us. Someone said he should walk up to some turn style. So think about that. I mean, yeah, that would be cool. I don't know. I don't want to force it on him. Yeah.

Meetup prediction for me. I'm going to be operating at a two to one ratio. What does that mean? Yeah. Because I'm new here. One 12 ounce water for every. two drinks that I have. Okay.

I'm not doing one to one. I'll pee too much. But two to one, I think, will have me in a good way. Just letting y'all know. It's important to stand up and mix in a water. True. I predict we mob at a place to eat after the meetup. Just mob.

Somebody let us know there's a pizza place attached to the parking lot that's very good. Greenville pizza. Yeah, so on on Coke. call told us that. Yes, that's a great prediction. We will eat, we'll eat dinner. And I'm going to hold Kelly's baby. Mara, it's Patreon content, cold calls.

Kelly's bringing her baby and I'm going to hold it. Little Robbie. Do you really want Dylan right now, like holding your baby? Yeah. Have you been gone to a doctor? I'm not contagious. I feel a little better than that doctor. I feel a little bit better.

I don't know a doctor. The throat is much better. It's, we're not back. but it's much better than it was yesterday. It did have like two days to be back. Otherwise, you're driving up by yourself. Oh. If Dave's going to drive separately, I'm going to go on his car.

I might take, I might... Surprise you want to ride with Dave. I might take my own car. I mean, I'm probably going to drive my car. Because I might disappear on Saturday. Bye-bye. What? Before this stuff.

Where are you going to go? I don't know. I might go down and see my parents or something. So no, JFK? I don't know. I haven't made plans. I got to see the weather. We still even know when we're leaving on Friday.

I mean, I'm probably going to leave. I feel like we should probably leave. Check in is it four? So if we left around like a little afternoon, that would give us plenty of time to maybe hit the check stop on the way up. I think I'm going to do that. I think now after this conversation, we should do that. Hit the check stop.

Document it. Get a bunch. We could buy a bunch and have it around the house. Here we go. Okay. Okay. Something to eat a little snack on for breakfast. My sister's not able to go to the meetup, sadly, but she is, she's finding options

near our house for good, good food, good breakfast stuff. So apparently it's a good bagel place over there. Anyway, but yeah. I'm going to have one shot and then probably like three hours later towards the end of the meetup, some backer's going to come up and say like, hey, have you had your shot yet? I'm like, I have back. So that was three hours ago. take another shot with you.

But, but I'm still, I'm very much in the age range of, I'm with you guys. I don't want to do more than one shot. Yeah. I don't want to do any shots. Fair. Fair. I'm predicting. I'm excited, ma'am.

Will's coming in hot. Will's taking a Vaughn Lane, which if you don't know what that is, it is a, is a bus, but it is like a nice bus. This is a luxury bus that has a lot of people, for work take it has Wi-Fi, food beverage service. It's a nice way to travel if you don't want to drive or you can't.

And he's going to be getting in probably right before this thing starts. So he's going to come in high. He's probably going to have a couple beers in him. I'm looking for a strong showing from Will. I think I'm just going to fly there. Okay. Go for it, man.

Dude, Dylan will pick you up from the airport. For sure. No. What's the chat saying? I don't know Yeah, chat, do you guys have any predictions? Brett's the real wild guard here.

We're staying in a content house. We're calling at the hype house. We're calling it the Mog house. The mog house. We have to put Brett on a word limit

per backer he talks to. So he doesn't get bogged down for three hours talking to somebody. And this is not backer. were saying that you guys will corner Brett, it's Brett will keep you in the conversation. Like Brett, Brett will meet two of you. It's the content maxing house, the Dallas content maxing. It's the official content maxing home of Dallas, Texas.

And yeah, Brett, Brett's on a pitch count. Pitch count, yes. That's good. That's good. Yeah, Will's going to come in real hot. That is a good prediction. I mean, he was all right talking about it. He's like, kind of freezing.

them up a little bit. I'm going to get confronted about my draft and how I thought Friday was fine. Yeah, somebody even told you that on cold call, didn't they? They didn't. They didn't answer their phone. So sorry about you. You had your chance. You had your chance to talk to me, but nope.

You screened us. And I just predict that I'm going to just enjoy every listener I meet. Absolutely. Friend of the show Jake will be there Is Landry coming through? He has an event I don't know if it's a crazy event But he said he'll either be there before or after

What about Aztec guy? He lives in Colorado I think So no No He ran dude he you kind of ran him out of the state Yeah I get it I believe cool Adam is going to be there The state wasn't big enough for the two of us

He got mailweed Oh Aw Fuck out of your ass tag I guess No congrats Let us be the first first to congratulate

Azteg guy. Although he did move. I mean, he was dodging you, man. Yeah, clearly. Probably because you blocked him. I just muted him. You muted him. He's unmuted now, I think. Yeah, check it out. Tweet him. Hey, look, we said from 4 to 7, but that's really 4 to

question. It says 4 to 7.30. Oh. So it's a next 30 more minutes of content time. Of alone time with Randy. Oh, Randy's going to disappear. I got a little I, I don't know why I turned to do an alien. Why, why is me FaceTime my girlfriend now is Ertec?

I don't know. It's probably how you talk. You're probably stealing our bits and doing them on there. No. No, I, if my, if Rhodes, if his T-ball game goes down, you are going to see me like, Alyssa is going to face-time me for his at-bats. So you will see me looking at my phone, probably doing a lot of, uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah.

Oh, oh, good swing. Man. Are they going to stream it? They stream it, yeah. Can we put it up on the big screen? I'm not going to watch, like here's, I'm not going to watch while they're in the field. I don't need to see that. They might get that.

You just want to watch his A-Bs, man. Yeah, that's what I get it. Although we do have a first baseman who can, like, they can't play first the whole game at the switch. But we do have a kid, Rhodes Buddy, who he's not saying he's catching every ball over there, but like, dude's catching the ball at first. So I'm like, this. That's unheard of it. If this is happening, if this is going to happen, like, this is good.

Regular old Paul Canerco over there, huh? Yeah, regular old Paul Canerco, two and one. Southsider. Jose O'Brien. A regular old Mark Tashara. He won. He did, relatively uncontested. But yeah.

Good, man. A regular old who? I think about that one for a second. Is this an Abbott & Costello thing? Okay. Who's on first? Wow. That's some classic comedy right there. I didn't think that was going to happen today.

Folks, I can't even see everybody there. Yeah, I'm excited, man. Please come through if you are free that day. And within a reasonable driving distance, we will love to see it. We are monitoring the situation. We will post on every platform if we choose to pivot. No, this wouldn't be the first time. There's precedent there in Dallas, actually.

We pivoted to the backyard, which is actually shockingly indoors, confusingly. Yeah, that doesn't make sense. at all. Doesn't, but we did. I'm interested to see who's the farthest traveling. We had a lot of people flying. We had people flying. We always had people flying.

But we had some East Texas people. There was a tall guy from like Tyler, I remember, or West Texas maybe. I don't know. I remember certain people. If you're tall, I remember you. We're excited. I'm excited. I need some backers.

Take some pictures. Need some Kalachis. We're going to be ready to take a picture and Brett's going to be nowhere to be found. True. He's going to be on a business call. Yeah. We'll see you later.

Let's watch that ship get blasted by that torpedo. It's crazy. Yeah. All right. Bye. Bye.
