all right we're back it's a circling pack podcast i'm dave i'm gonna host today i'm filling in for one Will DeFreeze who, a little under the weather, as many people are. Texted Dylan and I yesterday and was like, just a heads up, I lost my voice. That's all he said was he lost his voice. I thought maybe he was at like a rock and roll concert and was yelling, hooting and hollering. And you know, that happens. Texted this morning, he's it's not good or maybe he was on that randy grind where he was just he had like

two like really fruity really high sugar cocktails and just couldn't talk the next day nah he's not fried enough that i don't know if that really falls under the frat umbrella but okay well i will let randy know that i wasn't gonna originally let him know we were talking about him on his back but will did say i do sound like randy wow he he really lost out that bluegrass concert yeah he's just screaming out for the for the guy picking the banjo or whatever that happens at a bluegrass show typically. Yeah, so I'm here. I'm going to host. I'm not really sure why you guys decided to wait until I hit the record button to just aggressively crack your back and necks.

And I even heard an audible moan from Brett. You doing good? My neck inspired Brett's. Brett couldn't handle it. You did this to yourself, Dave. You taught me that new stretch. I did. And it's so nice.

It is a shoulder crack stretch. I usually edit out all the audio before you start talking. So I think I'm going to leave it this time so the folks at home can hear what noise is I just heard like an off mic. Oh. Daddy was just feeling a little stiff, so he had to work the neck a bit. And Brett saw me do it, heard me do it, and he was like, you know what? I'm going to hit it.

I'm going to hit it, too. I'm going to get after it. Speaking of stiff, here's the stiffest guy I know. It's Big Sky Brett. I have been to Big Sky and he was like you know what i'm gonna hit i'm gonna get after it speaking of stiff here's the stiffest guy i know it's big sky brett i have been to big sky i was like oh you're wearing the hat wearing another thing but yes i have been to big sky thank you for having me guys uh i am coming out of my under the weather phase still still snotty your sick era my sick era that's the worst era to be in last last sunday night was a real low point but i'm back all-time low yeah dear maria count me in dave they hate this i'm gonna get the ref you wouldn't great son though um thanks for having me so you're

not sick anymore you probably got will sick you, no, because he said he was feeling something. So I was working from home, sick, Monday, Tuesday. He said he was feeling something Tuesday. He's like, if you were here, I would have been mad at you because he started feeling something. So I think he just had a delayed onset muscle sickness. Well, he was asking me, he's like, where do we go from here? And he's like, I'm feeling this. And then I was just like, I don't know, man.

Maybe you should stay home. Here's a guy who's totally on top of every reference that will be made and has been made today. It's none other than Cool Hat Dylan. I am fairly lost on the ref game. You have a cool hat on, though. I love this hat, man. What does it say?

Slow Sunday's Coffee Club. Oh, okay okay today is not sunday but i'm still wearing the hat it's uh i love it i can't stop i can't take the damn thing off anywho happy to be here got my bing bong and it's gonna be a it's content week for those who don't know i don't see that on the rundown and it it's going to be a week of good content. I can feel it. You feeling this? I'm feeling it. It's going to be a good week of content. All right.

All right. Well, you know what? I'm looking forward to kicking off content week here in this chair, in this here chair I'm sitting in. Tomorrow, Touching Based. Ah. A conspiracy podcast behind the paywall, only on Patreon. Go check it out.

We're still doing the seven-day trial. If you're interested, if you've never dipped your toe into the waters of paywall content, you can do that now, and it's a good time. And since every day is spooky season, you can go check our back catalog of spooky seasons and whatever else the other touching bases we've done probably like 10 of them now and they're all very good so check it out um we've got too much dip recording after this show today where dylan kj and myself will probably spend about oh i don't know 70 minutes talking uh college football coaching in any

capacity i want to really apologize to the A&M folks out there for absolutely nothing. I think A&M fans are having a good week. I think they're excited about getting rid of Jimbo. Keep your filthy paws off Lane Kiffin. Outside of the monies. That would be the recruiting resource. Since Ole Miss got absolutely curb stomped this weekend by Georgia Bulldogs, Lane's postgame presser was basically just him saying,

we need to recruit better. I mean, it's 18 five stars to one and 42 blue chips to 18. So that would be the reason he would go. I don't think he will though. It's just, that's my two cents. Catch more of that on Too Much Dip later this afternoon. Thank you, Brett. Then Thursday, that's when listener voicemails drop. We've been trying something new out there. This guy that's talking, dave i've been sitting right here in this here chair and i've been uh you know working the show a little bit working the board playing the voicemails like i normally do it's a it's it's still a really good show okay despite what the haters and losers are

saying what what is the is the change you doing it's me sitting here and you will would be sitting in your spot so it kind of frees will up to take some um some more wild shots he doesn't have to steer the ship and me famously not good at steering the ship it gets us lost and backed into corners but we find our way out and dylan's here too adding his dylan banter you're letting jake's comment like live in your head i'm gonna keep bringing it up until he texts me on the side text me like hey man you're taking it on too too much in my opinion you run the ship just fine i like the idea that i don't though um well i don't know why you would like the idea you're and you're a podcaster it's your profession yeah i know but none of it matters what if i was doing that shit what if you were What if I was point guard?

I was dishing out the rock. Let's trade. I don't know how to work that damn board. It's so easy. The Rodecaster is really a remarkable tool. It's a good tool. I think you do as well, Dave. Hey, want to put that in the world?

Thank you. Speaking of tools, there's a want to put that in the world. Thank you. Speaking of tools, there's a bunch of tools who blog. I've got a weekly newsletter. The tools being Dylan, Will, and myself. And even a little bit of Brett, maybe a Randy on occasion. Yeah, we've got the Christmas blog dropping this week. Really? If there's room for it.

I don't want to step on toes. Man, I've got to buy a tree. Is this going to be one of those things where you're working at midnight Thursday to finish it, and then you're like, dude, it's like 5,000 words. It is going gonna be one of those things where like you're working at like midnight thursday to finish it and then dude i didn't it's like 5 000 words it's it is gonna be long uh it's i think it's a 3 000 right now but it i i was gonna do it a couple weeks ago but i realized as as i was writing the story and writing the kind of the quips it didn't make sense until i put my tree up currently so more on that later we got a new tree this year. We have not put it up yet. New tree full?

It's not a new tree full, Reed. It's just a new Christmas tree. What's the height on that, bitch? I don't know. What? I do not know. Alyssa said it's an upgrade from our old tree. That's all I know. I need to buy a whole ass new one. You should get a real one.

I should. I really should. Have you ever had a real one? I grew up with only real ones. Wow. The first, like, yeah. You prefer the real ones to the fake ones, huh? Well, yeah.

They're obviously much more of a hassle. Agree. Which is why people don't really do them as much anymore. You don't see him like that anymore but you know they smell smell like a real tree oh yeah and it's just you know the whole they're they're fun they're more festive oh yeah you feel me I think so all right I just go to the I wrote a Home Depot and get the little like the little pine sticks you put in your tree that are definitely like a hundred percent carcinogenic i mean the the smell per square meat like it is no hold on what is the scale you're doing here smell what's the ratio per

inch yeah they're they're like more potent than a uh it's like smelling salts in, in pine tree form. They're quite, they're, they're quite disgusting, but they make your, your fake tree smell good. And then the thing is you lose them. Like I,

you, they obviously are the same color as the tree. So you put them in, you stick them in, and then when you take it down, uh, in January, they're like,

well, I don't know where those went. And then, and then your closet, the dog ate them. Your closet just smells like a pine tree for, for the rest of the year. Man.

I'm so excited for Christmas tree season. It's like the Christmas season as a whole. I saw you get your first rating up. Yeah. Who'd you rate? I didn't see it. Some fella on X. Oh, no.

I gave him a 6.8, and he came back. He said, well, can you explain why? Like, no. You didn't give him a 6.8 and he's he came back he said well can you explain why like no you didn't give him any reasoning no i mean you gotta give him a little something how do you expect him to get better there's so much space that's a 6.8 there's so much space between the floor and the bottom branch send it to randy i gotta see it now it's a huge gap all right i'll give it to him live on on the pod how about that instead of on twitter he's got to earn it by listening to the podcast we do appreciate your you listening to the podcast the folks at home while randy's pulling that up go to youtube.com circling back subscribe to that post some videos up there is the uh will boot video

there it's on circling back instagram here's the tree okay there's the tree okay you know part of it may have to do with it being my first one of the season i can't start off with like a little grumpy yeah so there's one there's one point deduction for it being fake that's standard so you're starting at a nine uh like i said a lot of space between the floor and the bottom branches just did the the big, big ass gap. That I get. I think if he had some presence, which I know it's a little soon,

it might have bumped this up maybe two tenths of a point for me. There's no topper. That's the worst. It is nice and colorful. I see some personal ornaments in there, which is nice. Oh, there's a dog. A dog was dope.

Zoom back in on that dog. Look, you don't want a dog. I'm gonna pet that dog. Like I'm not gonna lie, it is to lie. It is a fine tree. It's a little busy for my taste. Like that one shot right there, we're looking at ornaments and bulbs and ribbon and some other shit. It's a little busy. Good wall glow.

A little congested. He's got a cool speaker up there. Is that a Sonos situation? If it is, it doesn't work. You can't listen to it. It's just there. No one knows how to get that to work. Yeah. If it is, it doesn't work. You can't listen to it. It's just there. No one knows how to get that to work. Yeah.

But it's a fine tree. 6.8. It's okay. Zoom in on that chair to the right. Is that a nice? Yeah, that's some leather right there for sure. I do. Pardon me for raiding trees.

I know this is your domain. Yeah, you better watch it. I would open the window shades. If you get a little, like if it's dark outside you get more reflective light situations versus the just shut shutters shades how about the idiots who send me a picture in broad daylight with like natural light coming in like what are you doing bro do you want like a four dude we my family has a tradition where every christmas morning um i'm out there under the tree with a natural light because I didn't go to bed the night before.

I'm just pissed drunk. That's kind of sick, Dave. There is a topper. Do you want to do mine? Oh, there is a topper. Is that crazy? It just kind of blends in. The hell?

Okay. What are the beads? What is that topper? It looks like an angel, but it looks like an industrial angel. It looks like an evil angel. It kind of looks like a cat vibe. Scrap metal or something. Okay, there is a topper.

Scrap metal angel. I don't like those silver- That's my new band. Those silver-looking things that are sticking out. That's corny. The balls. It's hokey. No offense.

This guy got more than he bargained for. Yeah, I'm not a fan of different leaves on an evergreen. You got some here. Wow. You got some over here.. You got some over here. Randy's got takes too. Leave the needles. I mean, I worked at a Christmas tree farm.

You want to do yours too, Brett? I don't know. I'm kind of nervous. I know it's not your wheelhouse. It's like when Portnoy does pizza, he's like, hey, I just want to be honest with you guys. He doesn't like the Detroit style. He just has his. So yeah, I mean, oh let's do it okay

i mean far far away like right here on this here podcast i'm i'm nervous about it you want to do a you can do a read first before we get in or just go straight to it um let's just go straight to it okay here we go yeah i'm i've never done this i've been hesitant oh i can tell you right now it's it's gonna get a better score than the last one we got. That looks higher than seven feet. It is. It's a niner. That's nine feet?

Yeah. I may have over-treeed. Can we zoom in a bit, Randall? Yeah. Okay. This is a good tree. That's a good tree. Nine feet, that's ambitious.

I like what you're doing. You don't see niners too often no the height the height's not the problem it isn't it's the girth as i found out that is uh yeah the girth it's intrusive i know what dylan's gonna say it's tucked in nicely in that little corner there i like the uh the skirt the tree skirt yeah again nine feet it's up there there. No topper. I know. You just can't get up that high. And it's... You know, I prefer colored lights, but I don't deduct for having just plain white ones

because I know that's just personal preference. That's where he and I differ. I got to be honest with you. It's like the Alfa Romeo Tonality. This tree is loaded with tech. I can go multi. Can you? Yep. Wow. At the push of a button. This tree is loaded with tech. I can go multi. Can you? Yep.

Wow. At the push of a button. Wow. That's something else. And it almost – I did it. This is between you and I and the thousands of people listening. I did it because it's bougier to go white for the Instagram photo. I keep it loaded on multi.

It looks better. That's what's up. I'd like to see loaded on multi. It looks better. That's what's up. I'd like to see it with multi. That's what's up. Dave, I got you in the group chat later. What are the ornaments looking like? I was going to say – I got to be honest.

They're majority like – Like gold? Yeah. Yeah. Don't like that. You know that. He's a personal guy. I know.

I know. There are personal touches in there. I want to walk up to your tree, look at all the ornaments, and I want to ask you stories about how they came to be. I get that. What's this one about? I get that. It's giving Macy's, bro. When did you get this one?

So you're saying my tree looks like it's in a Macy's. It looks nice, but it's a little commercial for your taste? A little too commercial. I'm going to keep it buck with you, Playboy. It's a little commercial. Wow. This is going to get – this is a seven – between seven, two, and – I'll give you a seven, three. Brad, this is very pretty.

I like this tree a lot. That's – It's great. And much like fitness photography, it's 90% lighting. Everybody knows that. It does have a lot to do with the lighting. And you've really nailed that. Thank you.

I'll take the 7.3. I know there's room for improvement. It's a fake tree. So I'm going to save. So okay. I'll take an 8.3 presentation with a one-point deduction. Yeah. And again, the ornaments are holding you back.

Okay. So aesthetically's it's great i just want a little bit more uh sentiment so it's a lot of flash not a lot of substance is what you're saying can i can i challenge you guys uh to to do something if not um just do it yourself can you remind me to post both of these trees on the circling back instagram story so um we'll remind you, Dave. Those who don't have the miracle of YouTube can see. Yeah, we need to.

This is reference point. If you're just listening, you haven't gotten a lot out of this yet. No, but it's getting their little Christmas gears turning in their head, which is good. Look at my article this week. Okay. Wash Media Newsletter. So, yeah, we do that. So it's,

where do we subscribe? Is it wash.substack? Yeah, wash.substack.com. You can go sign up. And it comes into your email box, or email box? Your inbox every Friday morning at eight. Eight-ish.

What, Brett? We're up more subscribers. I mean, people love it. Let's rock. People are loving it. Wow. Maybe you'll get 5,000 words from Brett about what Christmas means to him. It won't be five.

It won't be five, David. Maybe you'll get like 600 words from me about the time I went to the store. You never know. We took my 2017 Jeep Grand Charity for an 11-minute road trip. Here's what we learned. Everything we learned. The Shell gas station down the street is my favorite. Yeah, it is a good gas station. All right, well, good stuff.

Now, if you guys, if I may, it is time to recap this weekend in fun presented by our good friends at Dunkin'. Brett, it's the holiday season. Sure is. You know what that means. What's that mean? Family drama, snow crunching under your feet, ugly sweaters, and Duncan's brand new holiday menu.

You seen this? I have, but tell me more, dude. The return of a legend. They're bringing back the iconic peppermint mocha signature latte. Dylan, you know what that is, right? I do, but how about you explain it to me, Dave? It's a latte with a mix of mocha and peppermint, all topped and whipped mocha drizzle and hot chocolate powder dust. You like that?

That sounds phenomenal. You like that? You like that? That sounds phenomenal. Snag one at your local Dunkin' or give the rest of their holiday menu a try. I'm talking about the toasted white chocolate signature latte. That's screaming my name. More white chocolate.

What's it sound like when it's screaming your name? Brr! Brr! Yeah. Cookie butter cold brew. That, hand up. That's what I'm looking for. CB?

And the brand new spiced cookie coffee that sounds delightful too plus you certainly can't forget about my other favorite the loaded hash brown drizzled with jalapeno cheddar and top with crumbled bacon oh my goodness yeah yeah somebody needs to make a dunkin run before like every monday morning just bring all that to us because they run on on.

Yes, I would like to. Friday was a guy's night. Hung out with my son and my partner. Picked him up for a birthday party after school. And we just, he twisted his ankle at the trampoline park for this birthday party. Oh, no, man. He wanted to relax the rest of the night.

And I was happy to join him in doing so. We played a little Fortnite together. Yeah, daddy hopped on the sticks for a bit. It's true. Rumors are true. He's good. He got 16 kills in one game. That's crazy.

He told me that was his record. I'm like, yeah, buddy, that's a lot. Anyway, back on the sticks. Not really, but sort of. Saturday, a little soccer game action. His team got smoked last game of the season. Oh, no. They lost like 6-0.

What happened? Did they have some kids out with the sickness? No, other team was just pretty good. What did their record end up at? They were good themselves. This team, they played them three different times, and they were 1-2 against them. So the rubber match didn't go well.

The rubber match did not go well, but, you know, the kid had fun. He shook off that twisted ankle and still got out there and played a solid game. That's the rest of the day. Really just watched football. Sunday, top five day of the year for me. Weather was perfect Sunday weather. I cracked the window. I lit a candle.

perfect sunday weather i cracked the window i put lit a candle and i just hung out and i cooked myself breakfast and had coffee and watched football all damn day i left the house only well sorry i left house twice once to take stella on a walk and i got a dirty chai latte more on that later and then i stepped out for ramen uh tatsuya with my friend. Sounds like you're taking back Sunday. I had just a killer Sunday. It was excellent. I mean, that sounds beautiful. I spent 98% of it on the couch. So are you still doing like the scrambled eggs, but like you're cracking them into a bowl and microwaving them?

I don't do that, Dave. I probably make the best scrambled eggs in this office. Ooh. I might agree with you. I make a bomb scrambled egg bow out and i i made very standard decent scrambled eggs i did breakfast sausage i did scrambies and some fruit for breakfast why didn't you make the the eggs when we were in florida for the for the uh players championship we made eggs in bulk and you didn't make them. I don't know. You're like the egg guy. I don't know, that was a long time ago.

Yeah, I still remember. Did Dan make them? He feels like a scrambler. No, I made them and I'm famously not, scrambled eggs are not my thing. They were quite mid, I remember. Yeah, and you were sitting on the couch watching me. Yeah, like this guy's gonna fucking chunk it.

No, I remember. Did you do any nut browns? No. You know what, I haven't had a single nut brown all season. What are you doing? Because I go to the grocery store and they don't have them there. I got to go to like a Specs type place. Central Market's got them.

I was peeping them the other day. Do they? They have a whole, they have a multiple. They have the oatmeal stout. They have the- I don't like the oatmeal stout. All of the Samuel Smith's offerings. I will stop by this week.

Will sent me something. That is a Dylan guarantee. Okay. Will had a, Will sent me a beer. Ah, Bell's Christmas Ale. Oh, so good. So good. And it's their Scotch Ale, and he had one, and he is going to bring me one to try, and I'm very excited about that.

Okay, dude. Interesting. I don't know why he's not sending that to me. Well, I'm kind of the beer guy, so. Craft beer guy. Everybody knows that about me interesting yeah that was my my weekend and fun and it was great hey brett hey oh weekend stuff yeah i i let off friday with the uh old friend kayla old uh mail-in co-host

who's back uh she moved back to austin and we did a couple drinks. It was fun. We went to Will's spot that he's been dying to get on the pot as Bill's Oyster. Familiar with that? Yes, I have been one time, and I enjoyed my experience there. I had their burger, and it was fantastic. Like immediate top three burger in Austin. Whoa.

Yep. Yep. I'll throw that down. Give me your top three. I'm putting you on the spot. And Dylan, I'm going to follow up with you. Pool burger. Okay.

I'll go Bill's number two. Uh-huh. And Two Hands number three. Nice. I've never had Two Hands. I haven't either. Solid. South Congress.

Truck? Nope. Okay. Where? South Congress. Drug? Nope. Okay. Brick and mortar. B&M. B&M. That was Friday. Saturday was a big day.

I've long planned on Saturday being my Christmas decor day, my Christmasizing myself, my house, my apartment. Christmasizing. myself, my house, my apartment. Christmasizing. And what the key was, was I wanted to wait for a cold situation, a cold front, if you will, to come through. So I was not decorating my apartment when it was like 84 out. Yeah. I have sort of given up.

Growing up, it was always the day after Thanksgiving, or excuse me, the Saturday after Thanksgiving was always our Christmas decor day at our crib. I've given up on that usually because we're going somewhere for Thanksgiving or, you know, you're kind of just, you do a lot more traveling as an older person and as an adult versus a child. Fair. So I went all in and woke up, got the bets in, Dave, got my wagers in for the Saturday slate.

Sick. How'd that go? Hilariously even. I was 22 and 21. Okay. Which is a remarkably even season. I had another bad too-much-dipped week. I mean, has Dylan won one yet? No.

I went no for a couple weeks ago and then i went like two and five yesterday or something kj sent the he sends the the pics in the group chat you it's not even like y'all aren't hitting it like 40 it's like it's like 30 as bad yeah um so any i i get up saturday get the tree ready. I dropped the tree, my old tree off at Randy's apartment. I donated my, uh, my X Christmas tree. Is it colored lights or white lights? It's white lights. Okay.

Thank you. Just doing something nice. Wow. I even brought it upstairs. I still, I still appreciate it. I might just get a rope of colored lights for it then. Okay. Um, made a couple of Home Depot stops, Dave.

Nice. Add some ornaments. Add some Christmas flavor. Got the Christmas village up. So we were just cooking. We were cooking all day. Took me about six hours to do the whole apartment. And that was that.

Didn't do anything Saturday night except sort of bask in the glow of Christmas spirit in my apartment. And then Sunday was similar to Dylan. I went and got a coffee. I watched a bunch of football. And then I went to Lupe Tortilla. Had exactly one skinny margarita. Hell yeah. At the bar with Roy.

And that was that. That's your bar. It's kind of just become like a little Sunday thing. Your two spots are Carve and Lupe Tortilla. In Westlake, yeah. I love that. It sounds delightful.

It was nice. It was really nice and there was nobody at the bar which kind of made you feel like a little out of place. But for me, I didn't want to talk to a soul. I just wanted to sit there

and watch the Cowboys-Giants just disaster of a football game oh man and uh just have some salsa have some have some queso it was great good for you man how about you i did something friday evening that i have not done in a while i um hooked up the switch i downloaded fortnite on the switch and uh i played exactly one round of fortnite one time and uh before i get too high on myself um i came in this morning very very elated and very excited to talk about it. And Randy informed me that I was likely playing against bots. You thought you were a witty quack, but you weren't.

Yeah. I don't know the lingo. It's still from my head. Yeah, I got a dub. Okay. I got a dub and I sent a photo to the group. And Randy's like, yeah, you're probably playing on bots. Yeah.

So thanks, man. Actually, James said that. He would know. He's got his ear to the ground on this. What the fuck's his deal? Maybe Dave's just sweaty. Dude, I was. He didn't say that.

He said that dub has bush camper written all over it. What does that even mean? It's a bush camper. You camp in a bush. It means that you just hide in a bush the whole game, and then you get the one last kill. Listening to glycerin. I still got. Hey, a dub's a bush camp. You camp in a bush. It means that you just hide in a bush the whole game, and then you get the one last kill. Listening to glycerin? I still got...

Hey, a dub's a dub. Dub's a dub, man. So I camp a little bit. Whatever, man. Yeah, he might be right. Whatever. Big congrats, dude. Mixed in a little...

Ooh, throat bubble there. Little Mavs Clippers. Speaking of destruction destruction oof what's going on with the what's going on in la um saturday we really didn't do much we didn't do much all weekend the highlight of my weekend was the ribs i made yesterday it's uh did a little rack of ribs little pork rib slow cook Yeah, did mainly in the oven. They were good. I wanted to get a little crazy and do some – I got this Japanese barbecue sauce,

but at the last moment I got called off. I was like, let's just keep it to – let's not do that. So I had to do something a little bit more. The Terry Black's barbecue sauce, which is also really good, but I was trending Asian there. I wanted to go with the's barbecue sauce, which is also really good, but I was trending Asian there. I wanted to go with the Japanese barbecue sauce. What makes the barbecue sauce more Japanese in nature? It's got the sesame flavor.

I don't know. It's like a Thai chili. Well, that would be Thai, I guess. It's quite good. It's quite good, but I did not put it on the ribs, but we did that. Red zone all day up until 3, 3.30, Cowboys. And yeah, man. that um red zone all day up until 3 3 30 cowboys and uh yeah man it was um roads was sick the end of last week that's why i was out thursday and friday um for portions of the day there's like 12 kids in his class not in today there's every i'm getting emails from his school

The first quarter, I didn't sit down in my apartment watching the game by myself. Your stand-up initiative, back and forth. Yeah, I couldn't. I couldn't sit. in my apartment watching the game by myself. Your stand-up initiative, back and forth. Yeah, I couldn't.

I couldn't sit. I was elated. Got away from you. The defense was a problem. Georgia still got it. Still got it. Well, yeah, that was fun. Dan hit a parlay that night.

Matt Seller Rancho. We put it up to task. We put – ask our listeners to do a little something for us. We don't ask a lot of the listeners. We ask very little, actually. Just, hey,

tell your friends about the show, tell a family member. But we did ask them to do something and they, they, they came through technically for us the other night. Yeah.

Do you have these lads' names? Because I don't, but we got a couple of lads who are in town. So our favorites, our favorite Mexican spot spot joint, Matzo Rancho. Next to the bar, there is a wall of pictures. A little wall of fame. Wall of pictures up.

And these pictures are, some of them are of Matt Martinez, the namesake of the restaurant. There are some of just local celebrities who have stopped in. Some of them are signed. It's a cool wall. There's some neat pictures up there, but it's a very busy wall, a lot of them. And so we have asked our listeners to sneak a framed picture of you, Will, and me up there and just see how long it stays up. Let it blend in with the rest of them and people might not think anything of it.

Like, oh, it's just another picture of some, I assume some local celebrities. I don't know, but some people might know. I feel like there's like 30 to 40 photos up on that wall. Yeah. It's a big wall. And so some listeners, they did exactly that yeah um there it is i don't know how they decided on this photo so i i asked in the group wait which picture was i i until now i

didn't know which one it was that's that's from chicago john duda famous we're in chicago in that picture that's uh yeah that's chicago that's night one of our, at that time, touching base. This is fall of 2017. Six years ago. That's Dylan on the left, freshly shaven. That's John Duda, Johnny D, as he's known commonly. That's freshly shaven me. Crime dog.

I don't like the face I'm making. It's very Zoolander. It's very seductive. And then there's Will. Will's doing the very rare squat sip. The half squat sip. You don't really see that often from him, but he's clearly on one. How did they choose this one?

I don't know. Was it supposed to look like you're at Matt's so it blends in more? Was that maybe strategic? I would imagine that was part of their reasoning. Okay. Because, you know, if you showed this to somebody, they would assume that we were waiting at a restaurant. But as somebody who's been to Matt's enough times, this doesn't look anything like the decor at Matt's. But they did get this photo up.

I believe they used the sticky method. Randy, you had some thoughts on this. Oh, here's the video. I got the video of it. It's from the playbook. Is the guy wearing the exact same Patagonia? I think I see him removing the sticky adhesive thing. Yep, he is.

So it's a sticky method. Oh, it's not that crowded in there. I know. Usually that bench is loaded with older folks. Matt Martinez is right above and to the right of the picture. It's prime real estate, basically. It's prime time. Yeah, it feels a little disrespectful to be on the wall right next to Matt.

He's wearing the same Patagonia as you. Okay, that's funny. That can't be on purpose. Unfortunately, we got a picture of that spot from yesterday and the picture is no longer there we have shooters everywhere there it is randy you got thoughts on what happened so i think they they did the the proper thing where the sticky method but uh you you gotta you gotta hold it down for like 30 seconds you do those things otherwise they'll immediately fall off so that's true that's a good point it's too quick he was way too quick that video it provides

a lot of context we appreciate it but the effort was really well done i think you just got to lean back and like use your body weight to like you know hold in place for 30 seconds there's a way to do it um and look we're not we're not upset with you where we would all tip our caps and tell you each to fret on good sirs yeah that was yeah fogs to both right to both of them it's well done thank you for the attempt it was they had a blocker in place to to get the so the bartender didn't see it was really well done across the board except for the the adhesive situation gotta say like i don't know what time this went down, but that place is usually packed.

Like, that particular bench has always got people sitting on it. Ladies with babies. Yeah. That's a popular spot for older people and or women with children. The best time to do it, it probably is when it's really crowded, though. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Absolutely.

Yeah, for sure. Hide in plain sight. Because, yeah. Well, and plus the crowd of people will block will block the right the move do you think um do you think they chose the right photo no no offense but no is this because i didn't clear it with you well john duda is is more prominent in the picture than I am. I'm barely in frame. No offense to John Duda. That's kind of funny.

I disagree. It kind of rules. If it were you, it's barely in frame. How would you feel? There's a few people that I would be cool with. Duda's one of them. But it is such a – I forgot about that photo. I haven't seen that photo in five years.

We're decked out in Man Outfitters gear. A lot of Patagonia. As it was a sponsor of the trip. Yeah, everybody there is Man Outfittered out. Shout out to Man Outfitters. And of course, Duda has his pants tucked into his socks. Duda's not decked out in Man Outfitters. Because that's what Duda does. He tucks his pants into his socks.

Yeah. He's the only one who does that. No's doing that what a time people thought i was doing that no one's doing that except for john duda i my my personal choice would have been us in the um the food costumes the chips salsa and slice of pizza maybe maybe maybe in front of the uh alfa romeo tonale of. Maybe a little added value for them. I wanted a throwback pick. They went throwback on this one, which I— Quite a throwback. But there are better throwback picks probably.

Sure. We thank you guys. Yeah, thank you guys for the effort. But also, there's still an opportunity for someone else to step up and make this actually happen. Did Will not promise a steak dinner or some, some kind of dinner. He said he'd pick up the tab at Matt's. Yeah. Okay.

Oh yeah. Okay. Does it count? I mean, does this efficient? Yeah. I mean, cause we don't know if it fell or if they just got,

if they got, if they got popped, they completed the deal. Yep. They held up there under the bargain. I mean, I'll chip kinda, it would be really funny if it did fall and they're like,

Oh, like some employee just looked at it. It was like, Oh, like oh we got it well let's just nail it to the wall like they didn't even think twice like who the fuck are these guys i i still have a dream that they we get one but like someone um puts like a cool will to freeze filter makes it kind of black and white like looks vintagey and then puts it up on the walls. Yeah. Would really, really throw them off. We just need to do it with film. James has a film camera. We can borrow him, sure.

Filter it up. That's a camera with film. Yeah. Like a get it developed kind of thing. Yeah. Coloroid. Shout out to these guys. Thank you, guys.

Man, I really want this to happen, even more so now that i've gotten a little taste of it yeah and that that spot they've they chose is a pretty prime spot very prime like someone's gonna someone's gonna be like like look over their shoulder like wait is that the is that dave that d man would that be the first favorite podcast you're on the uh on the wall of i would think so i don't know i don't know why it would be on another one dave's at the cedar hill sonic so that's not you're confused okay didn't will see a wash sticker in the wild the other day

he put it i thought he put it up oh did he put that up he put it oh man he's been wanting to do gorilla marketing with stickers for a while yeah Will's the one member of our street team. Yeah. I mean, the Woodrow's bathroom needs a washed sticker. It would be fun to start doing guerrilla marketing or UGC guerrilla marketing. We do it ourselves, but people send in the most ridiculous place they've put washed stickers. Yeah. As kind of marketing, kind of a fun bit to have on the pod is the little woodruff's bathroom still um like

1991 playboys yeah centerfolds absolutely yeah hell yeah i hope that never changes if that's a worse place than deep eddie to take a number two but they're certainly close oh yeah it is yeah it is um nothing is worse than eight airs in dallas um unfamiliar it's gray bar not a good not a good place to do uh do the foul deed if you ever have in dallas randy yeah randy has a downtown hack which i'm i don't even know if i'm gonna give out on this give us the dt hack for bathrooms we oh no i just uh found a porta potty that you know construction porta potty yeah that uh they're usually they're locked but the one that was behind uh whiskey tango fox route they had one that was unlocked and i was thinking about

getting a lock picking set just so i can go to any port-a-potty and there yeah there's a little uh why would you say a little unnecessary why would you choose a port-a-potty over because parlor the lines are for the bathroom are like 20 people long oh it's a line play it's like a gross bathroom play just walk outside use a port-a-potty and then walk right back in i just i just do not enjoy using port-a-potties i just want to like bring it back to randy he thought about bringing a lock-picking set to the bars. Wouldn't put it past. Yeah. I don't know how to pick a lock.

Yeah, okay. On my rogue shit. It's probably a good icebreaker with a bachelorette party. Hey, you want to go to this porta-potty? I'll show you how I can pick this lock. Is parlor and yarn still a scene these days? Is it still very popular? It depends on the night.

But yeah, when we went there, it was. It's more, I don't know. It's like, it's very busy, but there's not a ton of bachelorette kind of parties it felt like. Just seems like a busy, busy patio spot for sure. Papa shot's broken, Dave. Well, there's no point in going there. I know. I paid and I didn't keep score. a spot for sure papa shot's broken dave well there's no point in going there i know i know i paid and i didn't didn't keep score which is annoying you could still shoot yeah and the

clock would run down so you practiced i got yeah i got in i get in some practice at parlor all right um i want to give a shout out to our good friends at point me point me first of its kind real-time search engine for points, like a kayak or Google Flights, but for points. Point Me shows people how to get the best flights using their credit card points or airline miles and breaks down every step of how they can move from one to the other. My goodness, did I need this in my 20s. I'm using it now and loving it, but could have used this back in the day when I was, you know,

really accumulating some points. Point me is awesome. They're on a mission to get people better flights for fewer points and for people to stop wasting their points. Checks for flights across 33 loyalty programs on more than 150 airlines to uncover a multitude of real-time award flight options. PointMe runs extensive business rules and logic to validate that the flights you see on PointMe are flights you can actually book, easy to use. PointMe walks users through every step from how to conduct a point transfer from a credit card to an airline, all the way to booking, which is critical at every touchpoint. They've asked, hey, could someone who's never used their points

before use Point Me successfully? So, yeah, there's a lot of educational moments and opportunities to build confidence and understanding. Brett, you're traveling. Yeah, I actually, there's a deal right now. If you want to go to London from Austin straight, nonstop, for 50,000 points over the holidays you can do that round trip what which is normally like a what 12 to

1500 trip you can do it for 50,000 points that's wild damn uh-huh the mission is to make it as easy as possible for travelers to find the best deals like the one brett just mentioned no matter their loyalty program check it out that's point.me. Point.me. We're big fans. Check them out. Where do you want to go? Let's go to Italy. I thought you'd never ask. There's a video or videos floating around of a lion, a male lion roaming the streets of Rome. And it looks like it's Mufasa. It's the most beautiful, majestic male lion I think I've ever seen in my entire life. Oh, yeah.

It is an escaped lion, a male lion, as Dylan mentioned, from the circus. And it is by far one of the most regal, majestic animals you'll ever see. He's stunning. I mean, look at that, dude. That's MGM lion. It is. It looks like the MGM lion. It's unbelievable.

This thing's just been kept in an enclosure, and he's just been fed prime fillets his entire life. A lot of good beef. A lot of meat. He's so chill. It kind of makes me sad how chill he is, because it's like he doesn't know what to do. Yeah, he's got too much freedom.

He's like the dog that caught the car. How do you let a lion get out like this? Because it might have an inside job. Oh. There is that one movie where they go to Madagascar. Right. I don't think he has any transportation. Zootopia? No, it's just called Madagascar and right i don't think he has any transportation utopia no it's called it's just called madagascar oh forgot to tell y'all we bought a zoo really no it's not true

randy go to the other video and give me sound because it's it's it's very italian it's yeah this is the one that people people look at him he's strutting shit mama mia i mean what if you're you're walking randy and you turn a corner and then boom there's a the most majestic lion king of the jungle just staring right at you guys like what's the move um i'm getting but i look it's gonna have to get through me to get to randy um i understand there's you know i don't have any delusions of being able to take a grown male lion like dylan you know he's always saying that i've never seen that but yeah it's not gonna end well even a captive lion i feel like even though he looks like he doesn't know what to do i feel like his instinct would kick in and nobody was hurt hurt. They got this thing. They tranked it. They got it back to the circus, which makes me kind of sad. I think back,

the only time I've been to a circus, I've been to two circuses, circus eye. And it's just weird. It's weird to see the king of the jungle, weirdly named, just in an enclosure like that. In an enclosure enclosure yeah yeah they i'm looking at the uh the number of humans killed by animals lions clock in at uh like 11 250 people a year okay it got by lions obviously there's some like mosquitoes count, freshwater snails count, assassin bug, like the things that transmit disease. Snails?

Yeah. I think they transmit some sort of disease. Dogs are three. 30,000 people are killed by dogs every year. Dogs, bruh. That seems high. 30,000 across the world? Yeah.

Snakes, 100,000? 100, thousand people are killed by snakes every year venomous man but like that's a that's a hundred thousand yeah that's a big number where are jaguars on this list um what they they not not in the top 20 ish. Deer kill 100 people a year. That's got to be traffic involved, right? Bees. We've got to control the population. How is a bee, I guess if you get to be allergic, right? If you're allergic to bees, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I would put bees higher.

I would think they're way up there. I've got to say, if this had been a jag, even a captive jag, this would have gone down differently. even a captive jag this would have gone down differently i feel like the male lion is secure enough in itself to where it's like i don't have to go out and put on a show for people to respect me the jag the jag is smaller than the lion and i feel like it still has a little chip on its shoulder so the jag is probably taken out anything within a half mile radius really jag is the the pit bull of the the feline world yeah they're muscular ferocious they have that strong bite one of the strongest bites in the world it's a badass cat such a chip on their shoulder like your jags are more built for killing than lions like lionesses don't they do more of the hunting they

do they do jags are they just have attitude problems they because the lions gotten more hype over the years and the tiger is like a you know a bigger tiger looking yeah and the jag is like jag's like i want some respect on my name there is a little bit of little man syndrome to the jag yeah that's not saying that it's not a deadly it's clearly we've we've talked about valerio you're familiar with valerio yeah no i am that body count those alpacas dude there's an alpaca it's not living you say alpaca what is it alpaca alpaca yeah but i feel like jags kill for sport lions are more they're more like they they only take what's necessary they have more respect and like you said the females do most of the hunting right if you come across like that like where do you put mountain lions in this situation

they're down the pecking order a bit really i think those fuckers are are dangerous dangerous well of course they are dude who's a predator but they're they're here they are in central texas they're there and south central texas oh yeah and west texas i saw i saw a map of a bear black bear sightings in texas it's not it's a matter of time for, black bear sightings in Texas. It's a matter of time for people out at Lake Travis or something or running into black bears. There was a mountain lion treed on our ranch property before we acquired said property. Really?

Yes, the corner of the property there up in a tree. And the guy who owned the property at the time he told us all about it assuming he's telling the truth they're out there in the hill country they call it home too also that badger we found on that property too remember that one yeah i do remember that that's cool badgers they're like they're not gonna kill you right but they'll fuck your your day up they'll fuck your dope up you don't want to you don't want to walk up on one because that's just a headache. And a trip to the hospital. Either way.

Grizzly bears got – I have like a delayed onset grizzly bear fear. I wasn't scared of them until like last year. Okay. Brown bears. Is this when you became Big Sky Brett? Honestly – That's when you got your respect for it? I started looking into like, well, we're going to go on this hike.

It's super remote. It's five miles long. God, think about that. I'll get bear spray. And then you just kind of learn more about bear maulings. It's like, fuck, I don't want to go up against one of those. No. No, you don't, Brett.

I'm glad you finally grasped that. Yeah, no. up against one of those no no you don't brett that's i'm glad you finally grasped that yeah no but you like you grow up with black bears and they're like fucking black labs basically yeah you don't brown bears are a whole different animal oh they're an animal literally he said he's right i know dylan's got his polar bear thing but don't fuck with brown bears man don't say you could take a polar bear no no he just knows the rule if it knows the rule. If it's black, fight back. If it's brown, lie down. If it's white. A grizzly won't hold up against a polar bear.

Not even close. No, no, no, no. No, but I mean, it's going to be a proper scrap. It'll be a scrap, but only one of them is walking away, and it's white.

Do you see that new moose video that dropped in the TL? New moose just dropped? They're just enormous. You're going to just bring that up? We don't have time to pull it up? I want to see a moose. Hold on, hold on.

Dave, I interrupted you. This isn't breaking news that moose are big. No, but a new moose video dropped. You heard it here first. Is it just one moose or is it like moose eye? One moose. Wait till you see this sucker. Nope, that's the old, everybody knows that one.

Hold on, you just passed it. Go up, go up, go up. It's the winter one. Yeah, look at this sucker. Dude, watching those things truck through snow is remarkable they're yeah it doesn't even slow them down look at this sucker gas station you better get back in the car dummy look at that that is a is that real beautiful animal oh my god yeah like that's got to be one of the best looking animals out there look at that rack man i impressive you know impressive it is a fucking it is a very antlers are covered with snow like that's beautiful look at that dude if you if you're uh

if you're a wolf and like you and your boys like pull up on that you're like okay this might be our last chance for a meal for like two months so we got to give this a go but you know you're losing at least half the squad trying to bring this thing you better know what you're doing you gotta have 20 you have 20 of your boys yeah you gotta have the whole the whole pack you're ready for a proper scrap a real proper scrap you know try to frat stop that thing you're not frat stomping that like they send the freshman in first they're like all right dude dude. You get first fucking dibs. He sends the pledges. Yeah.

Like, dude, hey, find a way. Hey, sir. There's only four of us. And that's a full-size move. That is a badass move. That would be a funny Ricky animation. It's just like frat wolf just talking to the pledges. And there's a big-ass moose over there.

And he's like, no't fucking find a way man hey man I don't know man you guys aren't gonna be eating next week's hell week so this is y'all's last chance at a meal

Randy you alright I knocked over my water bottle it was it had a cap on it so it's fine that's good man um

alright well um y'all pointed me to something right before the show and it was the young lady. Oh, yes. Grammy award winning, now Grammy nominated. Bobby Storm?

Bobby Storm. Gospel or some Christian music? Gospel singer, I believe. She's on a flight. She's on a flight. And she apparently found out maybe right before or on the flight that, hey, you got nominated for a Grammy. Big deal.

So the video starts when she's already like walking up the aisle apparently she was addressing the the plane people on the plane saying like hey i've been nominated for a grammy i want to sing for everyone and the flight attendant a man which is provides more context i guess was like he was having absolutely none of it like ma'am'am, go take your seat. He shut it down quick. Like, we're not interested. That's what he said.

And he makes her go sit down, and he follows her to her seat. While she's announcing to people around her, like, I've been nominated for Grammys, and there's people clap, like, awkwardly, like, yeah, good for you. That rocks. And then she's, like, trying to sing for people, And the guy shuts it down again. He's like, no. So initially I'm like, I stand with a passenger. I'm like, I want to hear some singing. Do you?

I don't. From a professional, I wouldn't mind it. However. It's awkward. There is no instrument involved. It's just a voice. Acapella you're talking about. I could look down at the ground. I don't have to like make awkward eye contact as she sings but i totally understand where the

flight attendant's coming from because there's so much plane fuckery going down you can't you can't just you got to shut it down you got to run a tight ship or plane i totally understand and i don't i don't't fault the airline at all. Was it Southwest? It was Delta, actually. This is very properly posted on the subreddit main character. Ah, yes. She's got main character syndrome,

where you think you're the most important person in every room that you're in. Okay. And it's a perfect way to describe these people. It's obnoxious, narcissistic behavior, and it's really annoying. Because she was also dropping then like she's like check out my my new single it's called this like you can't i love that you can't be doing promo and when okay when the man told her to shut it down she goes how about we ask the people around us she goes you guys want me to sing nobody nobody got her back no one spoke up what

happened you're singing on a plane important to know i don't know what point in the flight this was i think it was pre oh hasn't okay it was like on the tarmac and so they were gonna they were gonna go back to the gate and escort her off but she said okay i'll settle down i'll stop wanting to sing my my gospel songs grammy nominated might i add oh in one point she says it's what's the lord is calling me to do or something was she trying to sing for the plane i'm just doing what the Lord told me to do. Yeah. Oh, okay.

I feel like the Lord didn't tell you to sing on the plane. I can't prove it, but I feel like that's a little much. Randy has definitely seen this. Have you seen the video? It's from a couple years ago. It's also on public transportation, but it's like a New York City subway. And it's the chick, and she's pretty hot. She's got a guitar.

And it's a full- a New York City subway. And it's the chick and she's pretty hot. She's got a guitar and it's a full on New York subway. So, you know, and she like gets everybody's attention. And she says, hey guys, I just want to play my new single for y'all. I've seen it. And it's, and she goes, I do not want your money. And everybody's like, oh, okay. I guess we won't, we won't give you our money now. I was getting my wallet out for you.

Yeah, here you go. That happened in the subway so many times. People would between style i i just i can't they do it on trains like the little blue dress yeah it all sits together like oh it's we're a train thing like apparently people used to do that i'm totally fine with with busking like if you're standing on a street corner just jamming because you as the as the uh citizen you can choose right pick and choose it's not a captive audience is that called busking busking yeah i didn't know that if it's a captive audience you're forcing people to listen to your shit that's what's bullshit about it i'm not choosing to i don't want my god i can't imagine a worse place to try to do that than a subway have

you seen the the super staged tiktoks of um like someone will set up a phone camera and they start playing the piano. And then professional vocalists will hear a song and they'll walk over and start singing the song. And then someone else will come out of the crowd and join in. TikTok is always like that. It's flash mob adjacent. I hate it. Yeah, there are some professional opera singers who will just like in a coffee shop will just start singing it's like okay this does sound pretty dope but like we know this isn't real and it's pretty obnoxious it's so annoying it's theater

kids grew up and they need a they need an outlet yeah that's i don't i don't want it to be my ears dave so the young lady who we're mentioning, her name is Alexandra Starr. Two R's? It's really funny because the first line from the song, and you can see everybody's face kind of like, okay. The verse song is, no cap, I'm a little drunk and I can cry right now. She just kicked it off with no cap. Thanks for not capping.

Real talk, I'm wishing on a star that you would die right now. cap thanks for not capping real talk i'm wishing on a star that you would die right now because we're both we're both we both are a party but you came with somebody new you're a dick and i'm a vibe right now yeah the general rule is don't force people to listen to your shit it goes on like this she's using every cool like term here's a vibe gassing me up yeah there's all this is like hitting all the cool terms so shout out to alexander star i've seen the tiktok edit where she starts playing it and then it cuts to this guy jumping off the moving subway yeah it's great it's a good edit subway surfing huh yeah i've never been on a new York City subway. Fun fact about me. You're not missing a whole lot. Washington, D.C. I have many times, actually. Many times?

What are you doing in the D.C. subway system? I've got a family in D.C. Okay. The only time I went to New York, landed at JFK and did the subway from the airport to Brooklyn at like 11 o'clock at night. No cap? I was a little scared because i just i'd heard like you know no no there's no cap here absolutely it's good and now like you get served like anytime something happens you get served so now you're like oh what i don't want to ride the

subway it's like you got alexander starr doing bits up there i wanted the full new york experience and you got it sounds like um i've never done that myself. I would recommend that. Yeah. Well, I typically don't take the subway because you can usually find me in my Alfa Romeo Tonale. I just think it's hilarious that you can't say that word without putting some flavor behind it. Look, here's the thing about it. It's all new. It's loaded with tech. Yeah.

You've been in this thing? Clearly you have. I have. You've driven it. thing clearly you have i have you've driven it i've driven it we've all driven it it's it's a fun it's a fun drive you got that large touch screen you get in it's a little you're like whoa this tech is crazy and then you realize it's easy to use you can figure it out quick we're we're big dummies and look at us we we drove that thing with ease it was awesome it is a plug-in hybrid and it gives you all you can switch modes you can switch to you know full electric if you'd like.

Yeah. The tech's crazy on this thing. It's just fun to drive. But for me, it's that Italian craftsmanship inside and out. The exterior, the interior. Oh, yeah. You're different, man. You're paddle shifting.

You were not afraid, man. I rode with you. It's fantastic. To learn more about the Alfa Romeo Tonale, go go to alfa romeo usa.com check it out really fun if you have a chance to drive one highly recommend check it out at alfa romeo usa.com somebody got a little latte oh yes it's you i mentioned yesterday on my walk with stella yeah i tied her up outside. Well, I went into a little coffee shop, dipped in, and for the first time, I tried a dirty chai latte.

Why did no one put me on these sooner? What made you do that? I think Will, I talked about it with Will the other day, and I keep walking by this coffee shop that I always peek inside. It's actually not too far from here. I peek inside, and on the menu it says, like, chai latte. Like, man, I got to eventually try one. But mine I got dirty, which is a chai latte with a shot of espresso in it. That's what makes it dirty.

Unfucking believable how good this thing is. Hit it with a little cinnamon.'s christmas in a cup i'm angry that i just now figured these things out did it juice you up a little bit yeah sure okay it was just it was just extremely tasty has some health benefits to some health bennies what were the what are the health bennies i don't know okay i don't know those are the best you just know you're drinking some good shit. Dude, it was so... You got to get one, Dave. You don't get them together?

I'll get one at a time of my choosing. Thanks. Do you know there's a world-class bakery around the corner from here? What is it? Is it Thoroughbred? Yeah. I haven't been. I want to.

I went the other day. Can you get sandwiches? No. Just straight up bread? It's not just bread. What else? Bread these bread they have these thing called breakfast burritos burrito d-o-u-g-h okay and it's like it's i don't know how to describe it it's not a you know a typical burrito with a tortilla it's made out of dough but the inside it's it's cheese, and either ham, avocado, or brisket. Oh my God.

And they're fucking phenomenal. Is that open today? Yes. I went the other day. I got three of those, and I got some pastries. I'm telling you, this place is really, really good.

You left out some key points of your weekend and fun. I kind of forgot about it until just now. Sheesh. But it made some top 50 bakery in the country list, not Sloanville. Really? Do they import their water? Do we know? Or is this like Austin water?

I don't know where they get their water from. You can preorder your holiday dinner rolls. I'm a fucking dinner roller. I think one day this week, I'm just going to get some of those breakfast burritos for the squad and just let everyone try them. Okay. Because they're delicious. So is it like Panera?

Okay. Don't, don't So is it like Panera? Okay. Don't, don't, don't. What an asshole. Panera is dumpster breakfast. You ever eat breakfast in a dumpster? I probably have. You sicko. I got a little bit tested once.

It's like hospital food that they throw in the dumpster and the Panera's like, well, let's just recycle this and sell it to people, sell it to suckers. Anyway, Thoroughbred. Holy shit.

Okay. I'm afraid to say that. I don't want it to be too popular because two people can fit inside this place. It is really tiny. No tables. You walk in, there's a counter right in front of you. No cap, huh? These do look okay.

I'm telling y'all. It's unbelievable. Maybe Brett will have to go to a different lunch spot for the first time in, I don't know, two years. Brett just thought it was fucking bread. Oh, man.

Maybe you've heard of it. They're on board. This is not a read. Not yet. Though there will be one Wednesday. But they have been nice enough to give us access to a class. And I have to say it's a little overwhelming because like i i'd never jumped in i didn't really i wasn't that familiar with them until you know recently and they've got a
