all right we're back circling back podcast up in smoke edition my name's will defriest my left David big smoke rough you don't smoke big talk about more like mid smoke I'm dabbing he's done hey I don't we're probably not gonna talk too much sports today but I wanted to be the first to say I think think last night was the night. I think Trav gave Tay the ick post-game. I think that might have done it. They'll stick with it through the Super Bowl, but I give it three weeks afterward tops. I saw a little embrace, a little smooch on the field.

What did I miss? It was when he decided to just randomly blurt out, you got to fight for your right to party when they were like hey man that was a great game how's it feel you you passed jerry rise blah blah you're you're great and he just he's just like oh i'm gonna do a random beastie boys song from 25 years ago add that add that to the ick list it was on my eclipse when your boyfriend wins a afc championship and and says you gotta fight for your right to party i mean dude's obviously got big motion but like straight up cringe he's like

a hot girl you all you already my super bowl trophy you know what you write you know what you yeah that was it that's all we have we don't have to talk about anything else dylan chivery uh first of all i am very happy to be here just want to get that out there um secondly is it a fit it is officially girl scout cookie season i had opportunities to buy girl scout cookies like five times maybe over the weekend they're everywhere ma'am and so i yeah i copped i did on two separate occasions, actually. Weren't you saying that Girl Scout cookie names have gotten woke? No, I did not say that. Okay.

I've actually ranked my Girl Scout cookies, and I'm not taking feedback at this time. Thank you. I bought Thin Mints. Hold on, hold on. I want to hear Will's. I bought Thin Mints. I bought Peanut Butter Sandwiches. And Parks requested Adventure Fools,

so I got him some of those, too. Will, give me your give me will i want the will to freeze official ranking he's gonna do some o's first no mine i think would be number one thin mints number two peanut butter sandwiches number three peanut butter patties number four shortbreads number five adventure fools uh i think at number six i'm gonna slide in uh some lemonades there you go oh yeah number seven i'm gonna hit them with the caramel chocolate chips and then obviously number eight toasty yays and then number nine samoas and like i said i will not be accepting feedback at this time thank you hey man no notes that was perfect i think 10 of 10 i'm not trying

to like have like a big you know debate over Girl Scout cookies right now. That's not why I'm here. But while Thin Mints are a good cookie, I truly don't understand how so many people can put them atop the ranking. You put those Johns in the freezer? Yeah, it's fine. It's fine. They kind of just taste like cold versions of the other ones. You're crazy.

If you told me you were breaking them up and putting them in some ice cream or something, I might be more into that, but I think it's such an okay cookie that I don't understand how it can rank number one. They're so good. My question is, why are the mints so thin? Why not do thick mints? I don't have a good answer for that. Yeah, I didn't think so. Sorry.

Maybe try again later, Chief. They're gas. I almost put peanut butter sandwiches number one i late a late flip in my brain calling them peanut butter patties that's why they call me a little flip get with it is that why like what are you guys doing like it's just it's your number one dude they're tagalongs like why are we calling them yeah those are my number one for sure not even close close. It's a good cookie. Correct. It's not a good cookie. It's a great cookie. It's a good cookie.

That's why they're number three on my list. That's fine. But like, there are so many reasons that tagalongs, I would even say, I know you're not a Samoa guy and I don't understand how. I'm not a coconut guy. I don't even feel like it's that coconut heavy. Your boy doesn't do coconut. No kid that's eating a Samoa is thinking that there's coconut in it. They're just eating it's that coconut heavy your boy doesn't do coconut no kid that's eating a samoa is thinking that there's coconut in it they're just eating it and be like

damn this is good like oh what's the gritty uh substance i'm chewing on oh that's nasty coconut okay but when you invite me over to do never mind what yeah would you like if it was coke and not cookies? Get your corny, horny joke out of the way. There's not corn in these. I've never even seen Adventurefuls before. Corners. An indulgent brownie-inspired cookie topped with caramel-flavored creme with a hint of sea salt. I think they're new on the scene.

Why'd you say that? They've been around for like one or two years. You have to think that the combination of the brownie-inspired cookie with the hint of sea salt and the caramel flavored creme you have to think that it's a juxtaposition play for the squad they're fine it's a j play okay sure dave uh i'm glad we got to the bottom of this man we should do like a official ranking and r, you can clip it and we'll post it as a reel on social media.

I mean, I think it's already put it out there. That's our official. No, but it's going to be us arguing about it. What sweets you guys been keeping around

the house lately? Thin mints. Stop. Stuff that my parents got me for Christmas. The only thing right now is we got some reese's peanut butter cup john's like a christmas edition one it's like a little snowman i think

okay and no ice cream dude we've been mashing we've had some gummy bears around lately uh sally was going to use them to help with some potty training uh not for me for my son i was gonna say i thought you should be there already no she keeps thinking i pee my pants but i'm like babe it's beer right it's fun um and so uh i've just been going in on gummy bears no training's been done yet because i've just been eating them too fast i have no qualms with that you ever put gummy bears in the freezer no oh it's a thing it's very much a thing yeah when you put them in ice cream, which Parks does sometimes, they do harden a bit because of the cold ice cream.

Oh, because it's a juxtaposition play. Shout out to Joy Mode. They harden like James. I don't like that we're having to kind of like... I know, man. You're doing something different. Are you guys having mic issues right now? Fix the mic.

I can't see Dylan's face. What if we replaced all the microphones in the studio with mics that came down from the ceiling like we were Michaelael buffer i can't see dave's hot face that would be they have to go up and down though rainy granny can you get on that can you make them wireless too though your budget is 25 dollars we're only doing britney spears garth brooks that'd be fun i'd be totally okay if we started doing headset mics it would be so cringe no but how easy would it be to do everything? It'd be so cringe.

It'd be so easy to record and have free hands. I wouldn't be able to take us seriously. I'd just be laughing the whole time. Hey, I opened Twitter this morning, and it wasn't the first time I scrolled, but the second time around, I saw a video of a guy in Thailand base jumping, and his shoe didn't open. Did he stick the landing oh no no he's he is no longer with us oh that's too bad is it possible he hit the ground so hard that he just

went through it and came out the other side of the earth um i i don't think so man man based on like my limited knowledge of the earth i'm i'm getting a lot of uh like school like school fight videos served to me that end really poorly like kat williams is on the ground crying okay like a like a 12 year old getting his just skull like smashed against the pavement that sounds terrible i know i don't ask for any of this shit i'm it's do you go look at the comments to see if they're okay and people were like don't worry i was there he's okay yeah my favorite twitter account's just minor brawls just minors brawling yeah i i just don't need to be i don't need to see that man y'all got to change your algorithm up how dm elon be like hey dude can you take me

out of the gross stuff um Hello. Enough of the gold. Elon Musk. I can't do it. That's not a good Elon. That's terrible, dude. That sucks. Usually you're good at this. Yeah, you need to spend more time in your car alone

workshopping your Elon Musk. Elon Musk. He doesn't have that. No, he's got a hint of the South African accent, but it's not totally South African accent at this point. His delivery stinks, the way he talks. His Rogan interview interview it's like dude speak up a little bit no it's it's him computing speak with your chest rogan rogan

will say something and then he takes three seconds to compute it and then he spits out his answer it's weird but he smoked that fucking blunt dude dude that's so sick did he inhale no i heard it was just sticks and stems only so your ideal blunt you love that mid stop dude didn't you tell us recently that you the one time you rolled a joint it was unsmokable yeah in denver this is like how is that possible this is probably 12 years ago uh what do you mean how is it possible i don't know like what was unsmokable like It wasn't packed enough. It wouldn't draw at all. I had to take it out and have someone else do it for me.

Damn, dude. Look, if you want a good J-roll, don't come to your boy. That's all I'm trying to say. I'll give you some sticky weed, but I can't roll it for you. Don't go to the 40-year-old guy wearing all denim. He's not going to's not gonna do it should we pick up some reggie and do a blunt rolling contest for circling back reggie come on dude you don't smoke reggie i don't know what that is it's very in your world is it super sticky no no it's kind of the opposite

it's kind of the opposite super that's why i don't know what it is because I don't fuck with this shit. I'll be honest. I don't really totally know what Reggie is because I don't buy marijuana from dealers and stuff. I don't fuck with that low-end shit. Yeah, it's not really my thing. I just give it to Dave whenever it comes across my desk. I'll smoke anything.

I'll donate it. We got some major news. It's not that major. But yeah, we still got some Wilmont's polo still available. Size large only. Go cop one. They're going away. By the time spring hits and you're like, damn, I need the perfect patio shirt.

I need the perfect shirt to go out and golf with the boys on a bachelor party. I need the perfect shirt to wear to a happy hour with all my coworkers. So they think, oh, this guy's cool. But he also wears moisture wicking material. Ladies, Valentine's Day is coming up. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Get your man something springy, something he can play golf in.

Welcome to Wilmonds. There are 20 larges left. 20 larges left. I might just buy them all myself and put them on eBay for like $1,000 each. No other size is available at this point. Yeah. If you get it, it might be signed by your boy. Put it on the marker.

They're game worn Will DeFreeze Wilmonds polos. That's what's up. I'll wear a polo to the next meetup and do a jersey swap, even though last time we just swapped back because he wanted his dope polo. Where do we do that? Houston. H-Town. More on meetups in a little bit.

You ever walk in the store and you have no idea what to get? That's pretty much me. I'm looking at that second shelf just thinking, please have an aesthetically pleasing bottle here. And if I get it home, I don't even know if it tastes good or not because I'm an idiot. I'm kind of wine stupid. I don't, I don't, I look at it, you know look at a shelf of wine like I don't know what's good here. So it's just a random grab bag situation for me. Naked wines, however – not to brag.

They sent me a lot of it. Yeah, we know. And every single one I've had – You've got more than us. Listen to me. Every single one I've had, Will, is very good. I had one last night that had a fly fisherman on it. It was absolute gas.

Fun little spot.

Interesting spot. Interesting spot. The kitchen, Dave, just absolutely buzzing. You noted. Yeah. Apparently, I'm the only one who enjoyed that scene. Dave went to the bathroom and came back and was like, dude, you guys got to pop into the kitchen right now. It's going off in there.

Let's just say his wife was also with him. It was a lot of fun as well. Not just John, but his wife as well. Great time. Then we went to Kelly's and I drank well. Not just John, but his wife as well. Great time. Then we went to Kelly's and I drank, I don't know, a million Guinnesses.

I think you had like three. I had three. I think we just had like three rounds for the boys. If you had that many, I need to resend that Venmo. Yeah, yeah. I had three Guinnesses.

Guin-I. Plural. Be careful there, buddy. And yeah, I got a little inebriated decided to go home saturday big family day parks and i went to my dad's uh my sister brother-in-law were there their little uh daughters and uh it was just a great time we went out to eat sunday go uh moddy says moddy's really close to his house, so we went to Mottie's.

Hacienda? Si. Went on Brody? Si. To good Mottie's. Not on Brody. I guess I'll just fuck off for the rest of the show. Yeah, it's on Brody.

Hey, Dave. Dave, could you do me a favor? Brody and Slaughter. Could you fuck off the rest of the show? I'm back. I don't have to fuck off anymore. And Sunday, spent a lot of the day outside. The weather was beautiful.

I was, I needed some vitamin D. And vitamin D aplenty yesterday. So I was outside a lot. I'm so glad you got the D yesterday. Needed all the D. Did you pop top? I popped top, yeah. Did you?

Took Stella to Zilker. Did you do the thing where you get it on your butt? Yeah. He's asking if you sunned your butthole. I did a quick sesh, like 15 minutes. I need to find a quiet area and just try that one time. What's stopping you? Finding a quiet area and getting 15 minutes alone to myself.

Lack of privacy. Because if someone catches you, that's a tough one to explain. Yeah, it's a compromising position to be caught in by one of your neighbors. Yeah. Do you think FedEx guy rolls up and I'm just spreading evil in my lawn? It's tough. Do you think anyone's ever done it for too long and gotten sunburned? Yeah.

Sure. Boy, that's not a good place to get sunburned. Like top of the feet, top of the ears, those are two tough places. Scalp if you're lacking coverage up top. Two hole though? Two hole is tough. Top of the feet has to be the worst. Sock play.

In eighth grade, I had to wear socks at the pool every single day after that first day. Just not putting stuff on my feet. I was the kid at the pool just rocking ankle socks. That's so swaggy. You should have just worn aqua socks. Dude, I didn't have a choice, David. We were in Mexico. We were at an expensive resort. They upcharged worn aqua socks. Dude, I didn't have a choice, David. We were in Mexico. We were at an expensive resort.

They upcharged the aqua socks there, my guy. Socks at the resort pool. Hitting them with it. That concludes my weekend in fun. Dude, that sounded like a weekend filled with fun. Here's the rock. Hey, so yeah, we had a good time at dinner i got there late i had the uh the random chair they just threw up against the head of the table not a big deal didn't have the way that restaurant operates though i do like their menu but we had a table that was probably for four, and we tried to go five.

And the way they bring it out, it's a horizontal plate play. And I didn't really have the room. Will, at one point, I dropped my little foil container of tortillas, and Will picked it up for me. That was really cool of you. I enjoyed my meal. I'll say I hated the menu there. Really? Yeah. I thought it was absolutely trash. The QR code, you had to do the QR code. That's a great point. You bring up the menu and the menu had no prices for anything. So you're

just kind of like guessing. Yeah. Which is fine. Like when you had a group dinner and everyone's splitting it, but like, you don't want to be the person that accidentally orders like a $48 fish taco plate or some shit. Very, very fair. And again, the kitchen, I have to say they have the little, uh, it's like a house, an old house on the East side. What's the place called? Lichas? Lichas? Lichas. I don't know. No, I wasn't familiar with their game until that night. To walk to the restroom, they have two restrooms and then they have like the, um, little washroom outside of it so you wash your hands um right there in the kitchen you can see it's right across the way and they're just

blaring pitbull and like everybody you could see like all all the people in the kitchen were really into it i was like wow this is a scene so i go back to the table and i i decide for some reason that anybody would care and i'm like dude kitchen's a scene right now. 10 minutes later, like two people had gone to the bathroom. They're like, yeah, it didn't look like anything crazy. Not for me. It was just like one dude

just like working his ass off cooking. So I regret the error. Yeah, you really blew that, man. My mistake. Is it because you had a Bluetooth speaker with you and you were blasting Pitbull when you walked by the kitchen?

Might have been. I have one on my little chain wallet now. That's sick. You didn't know I had that motion did you that's big motion man oh let's see saturday so we're doing we dealt with our first bout of child strep throat the roads man uh was under the weather although you wouldn't be able to tell it's like it's amazing when kids that age are sick it's like nothing is bothering them you know asks for a little bit more wants a a lollipop wants a pop school a little bit more than normal but kind of stayed home he's cut from a different cloth dude

he is a different breed they don't they don't make them like him they just stopped in the last three years they yeah they broke the mold i broke them mold with this one. Sunday was the day. Actually, you know what? Saturday night is kind of when Sunday started because I made meatballs. Oh, I sent you guys a pic. I didn't get as much love on it. I thought maybe sending the boys some meatballs, they'd get a little bit more into the exclamation points on the text. And that's fine that they didn't, but they were very good meatballs. I did something I've never done with a meatball. Will's going back. Will's checking the receipts here. I just want to make sure that you got appropriate amount of love. No, Dave got fucked on this text. Sorry, dude. It looked good. You got zero reactions to the actual photo of meatballs.

I will say, Dave, I almost responded to your text and said, I would break pescatarian to eat your meatballs. And I would. That's all I need. And you know what? Thank you. I only eat meatballs that are a proprietary mixture of pork and beef with some of my favorite part of meatballs is really Dave's special rizzle drizzle. You cook them in that thing? I baked them in it, yeah. I didn't pan fry them. It's a little bit easier of a cleanup. Then the key is to let them sit in the sauce.

You got to let them sit in the gravy. You got to let them get lost in there a little bit. You just forgot about it. Oh, where'd that other meatball go? Six hours later, I was like, those meatballs are still in there. Sunday was, look, we know what sunday was about watching football didn't go my way in either game sorry will it's okay uh we would have lost the ravens you've been playing the chiefs i know but had had it gone everyone's way

we would have ended up losing to the ravens i don't know dude detroit i had it they're they should have won that game uh rolled right into true detective episode three what's the review i'm seeing a lot of conflicting stuff online david the the only issue i have and it it's not really a negative thing, the only part I'm going to give away, it's Alaska, very far north, and they're in kind of that point in the season where the sun just doesn't come out, so it's just dark at all times.

So you have no idea what point of day they are, like what time it is. It could be 2 a.m. It could be 4 p.m. You don't know. Well, time is just a society-built structure, Dave. It's a flat circle. That's right. That's something we learned, season one.

But I'm enjoying it. And there's a really creepy part at the end that I won't give away. But I can tell you, if you quote the hospital room scene to your wife as she's trying to go to sleep, it doesn't go over well. That's all I'm going to say. And here I am. Will, I'd like to hear your weekend. You know, it was a good weekend.

I made the classic mistake on Friday of not eating lunch. Which then really caused me to have quite the hangover after going out with the lads on Friday night. After the circling back boys decided to leave, I decided to hang back with the young crew. We had to get some pints down with Randy, you know?

Your in-laws? Oh, you mean me and James. Yeah, yeah, you and James. And so we hung out there. Shout-out to the backers at Kelly's Irish Pub. Shout-out to the guy who sat next to us at Kelly's Irish Pub who looked like he was from, I don't know, the 1800s. With the chops? Dude, he had the greatest sideburns I've ever seen.

He had on glasses that just reminded me of Shmi from Hook. The dude was just electric. It's like he got there via horse and carriage. He had a kilt. Yeah, he was even wearing a kilt. It was really just a beautiful thing. Waking up on Saturday was a little tough. I thought some Advil the night before

would remedy everything. It didn't. I was feeling it too, man. Yeah, yeah. I do hesitate to talk about my weekend at large because I did make a mistake this weekend. Well, technically, actually, let me talk it out with the court. I played my Zah card hungover on Saturday.

Right. This was after a lunch at Maudie's where I got some enchiladas with a fried egg on top of them. Shout out to the Marfa stack. Very good. But that didn't cure the hangover, so I decided to go Zah. Sally was going out with some friends that night, and so when I played the Zah card, I felt good about it. So I decided to go Zah. Sally was going out with some friends that night. And so when I played the Zah card, I felt good about it. Wasn't the best

Zah though. Last night I was like, well, we're staring at an NFC championship game right now. I got to get some Detroit style pizza. So did I, I mean, now I just can't play my Zah card the rest of this week, but I didn't break any rules last week, right? No, you chose to go back to back Saturday, Sunday, but everybody knows it starts over on Sunday. Everyone knows that it's settled. So I got some Detroit style pizza. We did the eight corner because, you know, I'm a savage. That's what's up. I did a veggie forward pizza, had a lot of peppers on it, but I also got a little pineapple on it because I wanted a little sweetness in it. It was really the juxtaposition. It's a J play. I had a buddy over.

He brought his son over, and we really enjoyed the game. The vibes were high, but the second he left, everything started to go downhill. Sally started criticizing me because I took off my jersey to switch into some pajamas in the middle of the game. Oh, no. And I put my jersey to switch into some pajamas in the middle of the game. Oh, no. And I put my jersey over my pajamas. But she thinks that in the small three-minute window when I didn't have the jersey on, she worries that I jinxed the entire season right then.

It's a butterfly effect. It doesn't feel good when your wife is blaming the entire season on that three minutes of just jersey swapping. It was tough. I can say if we had been doing a watching party and you had done that, I would be upset with you. I'm going to hope that there are other factors in play, but now we have a Taylor Swift versus Bob Weir Super Bowl.

So it's really going to tell a lot about what people, their rooting interests in this Super Bowl. You understand the butterfly effect, Dylan? I do, yeah. Why don't you explain it to the folks at home yeah so uh one one little minor thing can change future outcomes unforeseen that's not it's butterflies affect the environment in so many ways but the effect it applies more than just actual butterflies so one butterfly flaps it's a cute little monarch wing yeah and

next thing you know travis kelsey's doing beastie boys see that ashton kutcher movie and i never saw it dude where's my car uh the butterfly effect didn't age well let me tell you it was an answer today on the barstool trivia thing i don't know i clicked it i just did the barstool trivia sean wayne scott ashton kutcher yeah i can't believe that movie wasn't great no dude sweet dude sorry and that's all I did this weekend go Lions thanks for everyone for freaking with me this season had a really good time how are you feeling about Dan I'm fine we wouldn't be where we are without Dan Campbell you know he's to get some criticism for going for it but as someone who is sitting on the couch yelling go for it

it doesn't feel right for me to sit there and criticize we went for it on fourth down this season more than any team has literally ever done in this century so I'm not going to complain we got here biting kneecaps and we're going to go down biting kneecaps that's what it is man you know that

coaching matchup was longhorn v aggie i try to suppress the fact that he's an aggie but yeah that's okay it's mostly because aggies are mean to me he's a very likable one so i kind of wish you went to tech uh robert o'keene lyle love it, Dan Campbell. That's my list. Lyle's another one that I ignore. Yeah. Johnny Manziel. Sure. Johnny too. Even though he's about seven inches taller than you.

He's not. We've seen the photo. He's not. Is he the only NFL quarterback to make himself shorter just to have the chip on his shoulder get bigger? Yeah, kind of. It sure seems that way. I think Baker probably does some shit like that too. I don't know.

I don't know. Yeah, but Baker is like, he's open about being short whereas like johnny manziel pretends to be short but actually is not yeah he's like a solid six one he's so much maybe he did that surgery after he got uh got in the leak where he extended his shins he did the reverse has anyone ever done that surgery like in like to get shorter like they want to be a short king like uh bro i'm too tall like dude i just i'm getting too much attention i don't know man prob's not i don't i don't really want to be here anymore because i said probs no just because like i don't really want to be here anymore. Because I said probs? No, just because like, I don't know.

So we've talked to you guys about what we're going to do with the circle. What was that? You'll see. Okay. We've been talking about the circling back meetup that we're going to be doing in 2024. And we've mentioned how there's going to be a major charitable aspect to it. So what we decided to do is we've narrowed it down to, it is not eight cities, not nine. We'll explain why in a minute. Cause we ate that up.

Eight cities on the list. And the cities that we chose for the list are places where we have a lot of listeners and places where honestly we kind of want to visit. Dude, let me announce the cities. Well, let me announce the cities. Please take it away away here here are the cities per will to freeze this is in no particular order we're not ranking the cities currently the cities that are up for grabs here are atlanta

that's in georgia madison wisconsin seattle new york new york washington dc charlotte York, Washington, D.C., Charlotte, Nashville, and Denver. If you're a Chicago person, you might be wondering why it's not listed. It's because it stinks, baby. Chicago stinks. We love Chicago. And we'll explain later why it's not on the list. But the fundraiser is now live. We will send you links via social media when this episode is over.

But there's a website called Fundly, and it exists to collect donation funds like this. So it kind of works out perfectly. And I have set up teams. There are eight teams, and each team is the city, like each city. So when you go to this website, you're going to want to – and it's all – the instructions are all right here. So you won't be too confused, but you're going to want to scroll down and find your city. It'll be on the bottom right of the page. You select your city. And from there you will donate that way. Your funds will be applied to your city. What if we name the teams? I think the best way to do it is just have the city be the team name,

I think the best way to do it is just have the city be the team name, David. There's a Seattle city, an Atlanta city. Okay. Fair. Whichever city raises the most money, that's where the meetup will be. Pretty simple here. All the proceeds from the donations will go to St. Jude's Children's Hospital. Yes.

All the money will go to St. Jude's. St. Jude's. So even if your city doesn't win, your funds will still be given to St. Jude's. It's, you know, I think this is the best way to do it. Yeah. St. Jude's, a wonderful organization.

Are you getting your beak wet in this? Are you getting a little taste here? I'm going to make a donation to a city. I'm not. I'm not saying

which city I'm going to do it to, but I will be making a donation. So the platform that collects the funds, it's Stripe. They collect a small fee. We don't collect the fee. So every dollar that we get will go to St. Jude's, every single one.

Cool. It's like a processing fee. It's just standard stuff, you know. Anyway, it is now live, folks. And again, we will drop you the link. We'll put put in the description of this episode as well as social and probably a newsletter announcement this week as well so get get to donating if you want us to show up to your city you better come correct

now let's talk chicago for a second oh dylan why is it chicago on the list man we thought you yeah we put we put chicago too much on the list, man? We love Chicago. We put Chicago too much on the pedestal. Here's the thing. We're going to Chicago. In June, I believe, we are headed to Chicago for a meetup. So we are doing two meetups this year. One in Chicago and one from the list of these eight cities.

The Chicago one is sponsored by our good friends at Muggsy. So that one's happening, folks, in June. I don't know the exact date. It hadn't even been determined yet, but it's happening. We'll be in Chicago this summer. Might catch a Cubs game.

Might go to a parlor and get some wild-ass Bloody Marys. I don't know what we're going to do yet. It's going to be dope, though. We're probably not going to go to Lou Malnati's. Don't. Probably not going to go because it stinks, baby. What's the other place? Giordano's.

We'll go there, right? We'll go to Giordano's. I'm not going to eat an hour before bedtime before bedtime don't do that i made that mistake so yeah we're doing chicago and one of these other cities so also if you don't live in one of these cities but you just want to like donate to the general fund you can do that just don't select one of the teams you can just donate straight from that landing page. It's been too long since we've done a meetup, first and foremost. But secondly, we don't do enough charitable work around here. We have a platform that we can really generate some dollars for some good people out there. And I feel good that we're actually making good on

this because it's been too long since we've done something like this. This campaign ends at the end of February, which is a leap year. February 29th is the last day. We're going to shut it down after that. Shut it down. What does that mean exactly? Which part? The leap year? The leap year. So the way the calendar works is a year is technically, it adds up to like 365 and like one fourth of a day, technically speaking. So every four years they add a day on to like recorrect how the calendar turns over. So it's like pie. No, no. I pretty much just explained it in the most layman terms I can.

Okay. Sorry. I just have trouble. I feel like there's a way around just adding a day. It seems arbitrary. It might be a better method somewhere. I saw a method online one time where someone said they should just add a zero day to january just make it january zero and then just even out everything so you just

everyone gets a free day once every four years instead of just putting it on the regular calendar and making us work and shit on it is it a purge day maybe like nothing nothing no laws it's goblin mode do whatever you want yeah it's goblin day that's kind of sick you can gobble anything you want and you're going standard gregorian calendar you just looked at it dude shout out to greg dude who's this fucking greg greg shout out to greg for creating a calendar dude he is a dog i'm a little worried about nashville charlotte potentially cannibalizing because you know uh we have a lot of listeners in that region so that

it's going to be interesting to see what happens with Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville I have a prediction I think Nashville wins yeah I can see Nashville Nashville people

have been the most outspoken about getting to their city Nashville would be a fun one Nashville's really easy to get to from Austin it's a fun city someone who did it last weekend like I would

it would be such an easy meetup hot chicken country music okay you were talking about hot something else before ass oh chicken yeah you left out the best part randy is going to uh ride his bike to whichever location it is. It's true. And you're going to have a GoPro on. That dumper is going to be out of control when he gets there. And for every mile, Randy is going to personally donate to St. Jude's. I don't think that's going to happen. Are you still planning on matching every donation? It's very generous of you.

Am I going to be getting a raise to do this? Yeah, we'll see about it. Yeah, we're using the funds from the stuff to give you your raise so you can match the donation and put it in yeah yeah we got to cook the books first just make sure you select your city first your team that way we i think it'll be calculated um accurately yeah it's a little confusing there's a big donate now button when you first get there yeah don't click that that'll go to the general fund i noticed pecos wasn't on here yeah what's up with that no one from pecos spoke up man okay that's a bummer i know that's a bummer they're all too but if you live in pecos you can

still donate but we're not going to go to your town okay okay do we do we rule out canada because of the turbocharged super pigs that have been running around up there yeah that yeah yeah we took we took banff off it's a good segue i mean here's the thing when we see the phrase turbocharged super pig we not only click but we uh make some room in the rundown for it at first glance these pigs are pretty pretty cute in my opinion pigs are cute man certified uh but unfortunately a breed of massive furry and ever hungry super pigs have been wreaking ecological havoc across canada and their numbers are expected to spike country-wide this year according to recent monitoring data uh wild pigs are the worst invasive large mammal on

the planet they're often referred to as an ecological train wreck said ryan brooke what if you were referred to as an ecological train wreck that's just so rude oh my god that's me like on sunday so this this guy's a he's a professor at the university of saskatchewan and i think he i think you actually majored in this at texas state dylan it said that he's studying feral hogs didn't you say used to specialize in that at texas state what do you mean by that exactly i think you were talking about um your roster of women jeez fucking clean it up you're disgusting someone someone uh the other day this is slightly off topic he was served an old tfm from way back in the day

and it was uh moby dick pledge he only he's only allowed to sleep with whales wait what do you mean rude what do you mean served like on twitter it was this is on facebook oh yeah like maybe he posted a long time ago like hey remember when you when you shared this ah yes he hit him with that repost yeah moby dick pledge he only sleeps with whales that's so that's so messed up that's rude people i i do have slight concerns over these super pigs especially being in texas where they've been running rampant do we need to be worried about the trillions of cicadas this year randy no i mean they out of control it's just that it's two different broods that are having the same time they come every once 17 years or 13 years i'm excited they're gonna i'm gonna be back home for it my bro why are you excited for

cicadas because me and my brother were both into bugs when we are growing up and we grew up next to a forest preserve so i'll be back home for a wedding so i'll be able to hang out with him we'll be able like do the thing we did 17 years ago when we were in like high school middle school that's good icebreaker when you're talking to a random at the bar like just just bust into what you just told us dude they're loud though they're they are loud it cannot it cannot be louder than last summer have you all seen the videos of like them on people's cars and you have to like wipe them off with your windshield wipers because they're just like all over it i don't even notice them

i don't think they're as bad in texas as they are in other places yeah they're in the midwest they're bad especially if it's a a year for them to be coming out double brood one of the double brood one of the conspiracies that i've found that I haven't covered is the humming sound in Minneapolis. People think it's like alien or something. There's just a hum in the environment. And it's fucking cicadas. They haven't figured it out that that's what's going on. How do they survive the harsh winters?

They fly south. Do they? No, they burrow underground. What's a super pig, you might be asking yourself? Well, someone had a great idea of doing a hybrid breed of a domesticated pig and a wild boar. That's Dave next, or two Sundays from now, just Venmo and everyone in sight.

They're bigger, they're hairier, they have big tusks, and they are very resilient creatures, and they breed like crazy. So they bred like a normal pig with just the hogs that have been terrorizing everything? By cross-breeding them, the idea was to make them better for production. Unfortunately, what happened is it turbocharged them

and made them into what we call super pigs, hybrids. They have all the advantages of both types of pigs and do really, really well. That's what it says. Dave, if a pig was going from being a normal pig to being turbocharged, what would that look like? I don't know.

It looks like, or sound, sound like too. I've never felt this power. Yeah. That's super, supercharged, man.

Turbocharged. They weigh upwards of 600 pounds pounds it probably looks something like this okay dude that was good that was good this article says they weigh uh some way upwards of 600 pounds about as much as two adult pandas why are we weighing things in pan adult pants yeah dude i totally know how much an adult panda weighs. It's so stupid. Pandas? Yeah, like, okay. So pandas are 300 pounds. That's all I got from that. They're not native to this region.

It's just not a good calm. They will eat almost anything, this article also says. Do they weigh a similar amount to a boulder? That tweet got some more play over the weekend. Really? Just resurfacing? Yeah, it's a good tweet. A large boulder the good tweet a large boulder

the size of a small boulder i just i they need to we need a pig authority in north america a pig czar yeah we need a pig czar dylan are you willing to be the pig czar i don't i don't want to be a pig czar no why i like pixar movies though no man you just no no no no no no no no no no no that's a point for dylan for tomorrow's game show no no no he's not even on it tomorrow he's repeating you don't give him a point don't give him a point i feel like different parts of the world like they don't like this is these are the same problems that everyone's known about for 10 years with the pigs like being an issue but like until it gets into their backyard canada is like oh then it's like whoa what the fuck it's like dude where have y'all been i bet they have longer hair up in canada you know because of the

environment the climate yeah sure yeah the horses out at our ranch in the winter time their hair gets longer and then shorter in the summer that's a vibe dude isn't that weird it's a vibe it's fucking cool it's weird that they try to stomp you out zip you up listen fuck those horses man they really did that was is it unsettling going out to the ranch now knowing that you have like a group of horses that's adamantly against your existence yes i won't i won't walk around them anymore unless they're like in a pen it's it's it they fucking run up on you it was really terrifying i would have simply broken those horses i got back to the house my heart was beating through my chest and i couldn't talk it was terrifying now you know how i felt when i was naked in front of that iguana for three hours

pretty much the exact same thing okay it's pretty much i thought i was scared for my life dog remind me why you were naked in front of an iguana because i was swimming and everyone was gone from the house and the iguana just sat there looking at me and I didn't know if it was going to do anything to me. Like making fun of your piece or what? Like when you're younger, like you don't know if iguanas are going to... I didn't know anything about iguanas in general. How old were you?

I don't want to say. I think I was 14. 28? No, I was 14. Okay. You needed the party gecko to pull up. I know. I know.

A bunch of geckos would have been way... A turbocharged super geckos would have been way a turbocharged super geckos would be so much more swag can you imagine it's just a dinosaur yep do that is it so when you go back do they even acknowledge you like like hey we try yeah like is it weird or y'all have y'all kind of like squashed that we just avoid eye contact it's one of those like you see someone you went to high school with at the grocery store like i don't want to i don't want to have to talk to this person so you just

don't look at them god dude you never would have survived at the four sixes you wouldn't survive in harbor springs michigan where you can't go to any location of anything without seeing someone that you know if i see you and i haven't spoken to you in five years, let's just let it be. Whenever we go to the gas station, Sally's like, which high school friend are you about to run into at this gas station? I'm like, I'm not sure, but I can't wait to find out. Yeah. Did y'all have a gas station that would sell you cigarettes underage?

No, we weren't trying to buy cigarettes underage, David. Smoking kills. Smoking if you got them, though. The one that, the one, the popular one in Duncanville, and I won't call it out because I'm not a narc, it's still there, and it hasn't changed. It's like the only gas station in town that hasn't changed its name five times. But it's still there, and I'm like, something's going on. We couldn't do that kind of thing because everyone knew each other.

That's true. Like, it was too impossible. I'll tell you about the guy in my high school who he knew this much smaller kid from my high school worked at. Remember Eckerd? Eckerd's? Oh, yeah.

It was my pharmacy growing up. He would walk into Eckerd's. He would go get a case of beer from the fridge, whatever, and he'd walk by the counter and take a $20 bill, wall it up in a ball, and throw it at him and walk out. Why? Because he knew he wasn't going to stop him. No underage kid would actually do that yeah yeah you got to be an old weather dick he was just like a 17 year old like small high school

kid this like older like upperclassman who had like 40 pounds on him what he just wasn't gonna do anything and he knew that yeah he just threw it at me i respect it i respect it he put him in such a tough position there was rumors of one in the town over that would sell to like pretty much anybody, but we didn't have it in us to go figure that out. I couldn't call my parents and let them know I was buying beers at Scooby's. The beer gas station in Grand Prairie, they would sell to us with our college IDs. We were 18 or 19.

We would just be like, dude, we're in college, man. We're definitely of age. And they were like, okay. Sure. It worked for a while. Yeah, like, dude, we're in college, man. We're definitely of age. And they were like, okay, sure. It worked for a while. Yeah. Cause no one in college is under 21. No,

that's pretty funny. We fooled them. I used to fake ID once and I was so scared. I never tried it again. I could pop you at a store. I used my, I used, I used my fake ID exactly one time.

And the guy looked at me, he goes, what? I was like, yeah, I get it. Like, it's not, it's not a good fake. Thank you though. Did he take it? No, my fake id exactly one time and the guy looked at me he goes what i was like yeah i get it like it's not it's not a good fake thank you though did he take it no he gave it back to me and i

gave it back to my buddy who gave it to me just it was it was a pretty lame process that's my entire fake id experience dylan who who made your fake id it wasn't it was a real id that belonged to somebody else. Okay. Seems Justin. You didn't just use a package of Oscar Myers? Is that funny, Randy? Everyone else is laughing. Everyone else is cracking the fuck up right now.

Yeah, part of the reason I was so svelte growing up was because I didn't have a fake ID. But these days, I need a little extra kick to keep this body the way it is. I'm talking about FitBod, baby.

I don't like moving, but I like being in a new place. But in doing that, some routines have changed. No longer am I fighting with a random dude with a water bottle magneted to the side

of his car. Now I have a new enemy in town, but he doesn't live next to me. He just makes an appearance every once in a while. Milkman?

I think I need to fight my FedEx driver oh shit he would beat the piss out of me i want to be crystal clear about that okay i think traditionally in good shape i have podcaster hands like ross bolin uh if you i don't know if you guys saw his tweet uh recently just about how he needs some workout gloves because he's been uh putting up weight lately he's soft i was like yeah you you got those blogger hands. You got to build those calluses up, Blair. This guy's throwing around packages all the time and just being an absolute unit, but he might be throwing around these packages a little too much.

See, we have a gate. Sounds more baller than it is, but we have a fenced-in yard. You live in a gated community. No, no, it's just a fenced-in yard. Okay. And while the gate could be easier to open, I think that our FedEx driver is using the difficulty of that gate as an excuse to simply throw our packages into our lawn. Is it protocol to go inside a gate if you're a delivery driver?

I think it depends. He used our dogs as an excuse one time, but I know the dog was not out when he was delivering this package. It just simply didn't happen. It's a Springer Spaniel. Yeah, she's a cutie. And you know what? If he is intimidated by the dog, that's fine. I understand that. But I returned home the other day and there was just a random package in this part of my yard that I don't usually look at, not in my rotation. And I looked at the side of the package and it

was just completely covered in mud as it had been raining. And I kind of just started looking and I was like, I think he's just throwing packages into my yard, which like I kind of understand, but we're getting a lot of packages of new stuff lately. And I'm just like, can you just please just set, even if you just set it down nicely outside of the gate, I still think that's better than just chucking into the yard. I like that. He's just heave hoeing the packages. He's just doing like strongman competition

where they just they toss the uh the keg over the big wall and he's just doing that over your exactly for no reason i have no power in this situation you need to put up a ring cam no lost him don't work on him but you need to be like hey man i got you on video here i noticed you were heave ho on the packages no i just you know you can't i don't want to i don't want to get into like uh if i've learned anything about myself, it's that I can't let go of things that are close to where I live. And if I don't let go of those things, I begin to get really angry about them. You know, like people feeding cream corn to ducks and such.

Right. At all. Invasive species. Yeah. You know I don't like species that invade. No, that ain't it. I don't care if it's a type of goose or a turbocharged super pig so what are you gonna when are you gonna fight this fella i don't know

i'm not really sure uh i think if there's ever a day where the fedex guy rolls up with like the ups guy i think i might just like really thank the ups guy for dropping the package at our front door and hope that you know i can kill him with kindness enough that the fedex guy realizes it so wait you are going to rely on a scenario where they arrive at the same time. Okay. You think there's a beef there? No, there was a truce made back in the early 2000s. A handshake deal?

Yeah. They tied up one little brown bandana and a little red one and they held it up. If you were going to be a delivery guy, where are you enlisting? UPS. UPS. Already worked there. The shorts are swag. Yeah, but have you seen how much drip our USPS guy comes through with every single day?

He's different, though. Yeah, he is different. We've got the bad boy of USPS. He recently cut his hair. Yeah, he's less swaggy. He's still pretty drippy, though. Some days he doesn't even wear a USPS hat. He just rocks a chill cap.

Might seem with the Howler Brothers drawn on or something. Howler Brothers John. Kind of like you. That's right. If he was wearing that hat with his delivery stuff, I wouldn't even think twice.

I'd be like, oh, he matched that pretty well with the rest of the outfit. They are getting new cars for USPS, though. They're rolling those things out. It's be expensive i don't know they electric i used to want to convert a mail truck to like my own personal vehicle why steering on the right side i thought it was cool i mean just move just move to like britain or something i could just get a car like that instead. You know, in Italy, they drive on the correct side of the road, our side. Facts?

Yeah. I didn't know that until we went there. And I was like, oh, shit, I could have just rented a car and figured this out. I wouldn't have. I probably would have gotten in a car accident. It's still very, very intense driving over there. Yeah, it's always a little unsettling when you're in a city in Italy and there's just people two inches away from the car and you can just crunch someone's foot at any given moment. Yeah. Or somebody like the car in front of you just like tosses out a slice of pepperoni and you just spin out on it. Speaking of, can we talk about our news

story today? Yeah. A house in New Jersey has been vandalized. Dylan, I know you're a big fan of doing, you know, toilet paper and stuff. I'm a big fan of vandalization, yeah. You even pioneered the variation on forking, where instead of putting forks in people's yards, you just put hot dogs in people's yards. How do you even do that? You're the guy behind hot dogging? I dig little holes.

Yeah, you aerate it, and they just stand in each wall. It takes a lot of time. It's a lot of time, dude. It's a lot of time to do that. You are funny. When was the last time you did that? Honestly, that's a felony. time, dude. It's a lot of time to do that. You're not funny. When's the last time you did that? Honestly, that's a felony. You do it handless too, which is amazing.

Can we get to the story maybe? Wait, how does that work exactly? He puts a hot dog in his mouth and then he puts it into the aeration on the ground. With my mouth. It's disgusting. Well, Heather Doherty, she woke up on wednesday morning to a bunch of pepperoni everywhere what's this she said to herself that morning i'm on camera so i can't say the words i exactly use but what is this from the door to the edge of the porch

and then strategically placed down the stairs to the driveway and four slices on the hood and floor slices on the trunk of her car. There's just pepperoni everywhere. What do you do if you wake up and you've been vandalized by pepperoni bandits? Was this like a hate crime? Like is it like they're targeting Italians or what's going on here? Well, I don't know because she literally says in this, she says certainly of the family of pepperoni – hold on, sorry.

It says spending a lifetime in the business of pepperoni salami. Hold on, sorry. It says, spending a lifetime in the business of pepperoni, the owner of Manville Pizza, Anthony Daniello. Dave, can you say Anthony's name? Anthony Daniello? Daniello. Anthony Daniello. Says meat looks larger than the kind you would use on pizza. He said it's certainly from the family of pepperoni salami.

Exactly what? He cannot be certain. But he said, as an Italian the family of pepperoni salami uh exactly what he cannot be certain but he said as an italian it hurts the heart it's just a waste of meat i don't like it when people waste food for pranks like this so dylan something you want to think about going forward this could be some capicola uh is there any chance uh is there any chance that somebody was just trying to make a uh casual charcuterie board and things got out of control? I don't think so. Would you eat any of this salami?

That was just sitting on my front porch? Probably not. Oh, you're too good for front porch salami now. Yeah, I am. Okay, okay. I am actually. Is that what they do in affluent towns? They just charcuterie their friends?

Mm-hmm. Instead of toilet paper, they just do like a nice decorative one, but it's like, now you got to clean it up. A little pickles. Did you see Dave's report? We put so much Havarti on that thing.

Think about the ants and all the bugs. Yeah, it's an ant play. Yeah, you don't want that. Hogs. Yeah. I hope this wasn't a hate crime. I stand with all my Italian brothers out there, and sisters for that matter, if this was a hate crime i stand with all my italian brothers out there and sisters for that matter if this was a hate crime because i don't approve of this if you haven't if you have

an italian family in your neighborhood simply give them the gift of salami don't don't decorate their house with it give them some some salami don't be disgusting i will say the idea of slicing up pepperoni salami and just like frisbeeingeing it at someone's front door does sound kind of fun. Does it not? Have you ever flung salami? I can't recall a time that I've flung salami. I find that a little hard to believe. Didn't you say you did that when you got back from Kelly's the other night?

Come on, man. Come on. Do you think? Heather definitely doesn't own a dog because like Rosie would have this cleaned up in about five seconds. Yeah. Dogs love salami and pepperoni. Listen, I love salami. I'll eat that shit up, man. But not off the front porch or off the hood of my car. So I don't know where it's been, you know, the whole thing. What's your top meat off of a charcuterie board? Like if you walk into a wedding and they've got one of those big charcuterie boards that everyone's just taking stuff off of, like what are you going for first?

I'm a prosciutto boy. I don't know. Maybe prosciutto. Whatever one looks the best. I don't necessarily know the names of all of them. There's something so pleasing when they scrunch the prosciutto and it's just little like pinches of prosciutto. It's just so easy to grab them and throw it down. I'm always worried I'm going to take too much.

No. No. When it comes to prosciutto it's just so easy to grab here's the thing throwing it down i'm always worried i'm going to take too much no no when it comes to prosciutto it tends to stick together and you like you tend intend to get a little piece and it's like oh i just took half the fucking prosciutto take the one you touch i know but what if i touch the thing and it comes off it's like this huge thing i'm like oh that's yours that's why i feel bad that's why i avoid it it's there to be eaten if i've learned learned anything about meat out at events like this, it's that it always goes a little uneaten. It's like Christian Slater at that house party.

He had all the caviar. I don't want to take too much. It's like Tom Hanks in You've Got Mail. He was just doing a little caviar run around the side of an appetizer. Got called out for it. Ugly scene. We've all been there. You know I pull up to the board.

I'm going summer sausage. That's how I earned the nickname. Summer sausage is your nickname? Summer of 06. Remember that? Not really. Well, they were calling me the summer sausage because every party we went to, we had a board. I walked right up, and I just took the whole damn thing.

Hey, hi, the summer sausage. We got summer sausage coming over. Yeah. We had a friend who worked for a bakery for a summer, and she would show up to parties with a bunch of uh bagels from that day we just drunk eat bagels that's what's up yeah dude yeah dude no one was hung over that summer that's the drink though no we didn't scoop them dog oh god i don't fucking i don't do that david don't waste food like this and don don't attack Italian families. Yeah, their culture is not your... Whoa.

What's going on? I don't care. I'm getting wasted. Oh, yeah. I've got a worst-of story. This was not submitted by anybody, but the second I saw this, I thought to myself, well, that's not great.

Someone who recently went on a ski trip, looked at a gondola, thought to myself, man, I'm not big into gondolas. I like the idea of them. I like the name of it. Gondola rolls off the tongue. What if I told you that a woman was stuck in a gondola this past weekend for an extremely long time? I would say, thankfully, it wasn't a chairlift. At least you had some protection from the elements, but this is a nightmare situation.

Can you imagine being 15 hours in a gondola? I immediately started thinking of Alyssa in this situation, Dave, as she did not seem to love the gondola in Breckenridge due to motion sickness. 15 hours sitting anywhere without a phone, without anything, without food, water, whatever, just doesn't sound like an ideal situation. This must have been so traumatizing.

This poor woman, probably gonna have to go see her gondecologist. Oh, took him a little bit. oh pick them a little bit gone to college Monica Lasso was on a skiing trip with her friends when she got stranded on a gondola sounds like she went up for some last runs about 4.58 and they just shut that thing down

is the pal good then? no it's all chopped up I've always thought their system for making sure everyone was clear is a little willy nilly? Antiquated. It's like, all right, chair number 138. And so you radio up, wait till that comes around.

That way we know they're all off the thing. What would it sound like if it was chair 1738? Yeah, chair 1738. When that comes back around... That was such a bad, bad attempt at 1738 i'm sorry randy what would it sound like if uh it was chair 1738 and they needed to call up and say that was the last one yeah last chair is gonna be 1738 it's gotta be pilot voice though you don't mean though checking in on uh that's how, 38. Like, all right.

Hold on. Let my man cook. From here on out, I'm not letting anybody else on. You radio up to the top. Like, all right. Check. It feels like it's not a foolproof system. Conditions are tough.

You know what I mean? Yeah. Have you ever gotten stuck on a chairlift? Oh, that sounds scary to me. We didn't get stuck stuck, but we were stopped on a chairlift for 45 minutes once, and it was not a settling feeling. Dude. 45 minutes feels like five hours. Have you seen the video of that chairlift that goes out of control? Yeah, it's sad.

That's the – oh, my God. It is awful. Have you seen this, Dave? Yeah. It's very frightening. Like a mangled mess of chairs and yeah limbs at the bottom of it yeah chairlifts fall off the uh wire more than you'd think i don't want to hear that man usually happens at night when it starts getting blustery outside they're just swanging it's not moving

there it's just sitting stationary knocks them off ski area goes in picks it up doesn't tell anyone it happens since they don't have to damn just saying this guy knows fucking behind the curtain shit the kid nick responsible for clearing the gauntlet is it probably some like 17 year old working like a part-time job stoned out of his mind yeah he's probably been hitting that sticky all dude yeah of course someone got stuck up there right yeah that's. That's tough, man. She's going to sue the mountain or what? What's going on here? I don't know. I mean, I don't know.

Emotional distress, David. How do you serve the mountain? Yes, I'm looking for... You just signed this. Yeah. The mountain. It just turns blue. Who doesn't have a phone in 2024

while skiing alone like that should be a requirement if you're skiing alone yeah all these people are getting caught in like there's been a lot of i think a fair amount of deaths lately uh of people falling in the trees like the tree area of mountains and whether it's in an area with like a light post or a snow maker a snow machine or whatever uh people have been falling into the crevice there and unable to get themselves out dude that's another thing when they shut lifts down for the day how do you know that everyone who needs access to that lift has cleared i think it's on you at that point you gotta figure it out i know but like gotta find a way not everyone's figured out not everyone's uh gonna nail that you know yeah yeah that has always

worried me when it like it's getting later in the day this is why i only do ski in ski out it's frat dude that's it it's frat when i go every season that's what i do you like to just grab to your front door dude i don't fucking even worry about that because i don't even do last tracks because like you i just want to be there for the apres i just do helicopter skiing at this point hell what's that well you jump out of a helicopter they take you up to the top and then you ski down and they take you back up that's got to be expensive very yeah but you know i got it like that you're nice with it. Really?

You're spending all your hard-earned money on just helicopter skiing? All of it, yeah. I don't know if heli-skiing is, like, the move. Well, my family is very poor now, so. Oh. Yeah. Stop taking helicopters everywhere. I can't.

It might straighten things out quickly. I can't stop. Yes, Dylan has a crippling addiction to heli-skiing. Yeah. You know, we were doing heli-skiinglla skiing. Yeah. We were doing hella skiing, though. Oh. That's scary. I don't know.

She's got her ski stuff on. Not that cold, right? I guarantee you she was very cold. It's colder at night, Davey. People don't know that. Yeah, that's fair. It is colder at night. And you're at elevation.

Double elevation, really. Yeah. Maybe she had like a nip of uh brandy with her maybe some uh if she didn't boy fireball you know warm you up inside a little bit he's doing brandy and monica let's not let's not forget let's not forget on monica dog oh my there's a time okay do you guys have any thoughts on the protesters for the climate who threw soup at the mona lisa this past weekend what kind of soup you see zach bryan was there no yeah zach bryan saw the mona lisa i think later that day really or earlier that day one

of the two but he was he was at the mona lisa the day that they threw the soup on it the thing about the mona lisa is it's behind like six inches of glass so she was probably fine with it dang shorty soupy like six inches of glass. So she was probably fine with it. Dang. Shorty soupy. Yeah. So it's not damaged. They just had to, they had to clean the soup off of the glass.

Oh, then it's not that big of a deal. No. But wasting soup, wasting food again. Like what are we doing? I don't waste, I don't waste soup.

Was it, what kind of soup? Garbanzo? I had split pea vibes. I might waste some split pea soup. I like split pea soup. No, there was a time in my life where I thought I liked it, but then I tried other soups and I was like, oh, I probably don't need to order split pea very often at this point. You got to split all those peas though.

Didn't you say you used to do that? Yeah. Dylan. What? Are you looking up? Dave's just Googling summer sausage right now. My man's just Googled imaging search. He's just hitting the images. Doesn't that sound good? He's just Googling summer sausage right now. My man's just Googling imaging search. He's just hitting the images.

Doesn't that sound good? He's going to go eat something for lunch. No, dude. There was a period of time when Fritz was, like last summer when Fritz was really into summer sausage and there was a major shortage at our grocery store. My bad. That was me. No, I'm hesitant to even talk about summer sausage on this podcast for fear it might

start getting sold out everywhere. Yeah. We just kicked off a run on summer sausages. It would be so nice if you were in a gondola for 15 hours and like six hours in you realize, oh, yeah, I have that summer sausage in my jacket pocket. That would change a lot. It would make it so easy. Do you think there's any calm knowing that like you're probably – you know you're going to get out when they fire it up again the next day? It's just – you know it's a waiting game at that point.

I would just take my clothes off and treat it like a cold punch. Just jump out of the gondola. Yes, I would. How far is it, like 20 feet? No, it's far, dude. Oh, yeah, the gondola, the chairlift is not that far, right? There's parts of chairlifts where you're like, you can justify jumping off and hoping that you just don't break anything.

Yeah. There's other parts of chairlifts where you're like you can justify jumping off and hoping that you just don't break anything yeah there's other parts of chairlifts where you're like yeah now now would that that's where i always get a little dark when i start thinking on chairlifts i always think to myself this would be the worst place to get stuck there are some yeah really high areas that are very concerning but there is like a place where you could bog technically and you'd be fine you just face first dive into that thing no i wouldn't i wouldn't suggest going face first okay i've learned in the last two ski trips that i've taken that i don't do well on uh chairlifts hungover that makes sense once they start to sway your boy starts getting real real iffy it's the old age in me i've only thrown up hungover

once and it was on a swaying chairlift and And I think it was the motion sickness from the chairlift. I got a little sick. It was big motion, dog. A little nauseous when I rode the chairlift the first time I skied. And I forgot that I had to ski off of the thing. And I was like, I've never actually skied before. And I've got to dismount from this chairlift. When I learned how to snowboard, the toughest part for me was getting off the chairlift.

I couldn't do it efficiently. I looked like such a narp. It's an awkward position. It's not great. It's not a great position. Right. What are your favorites? I don't know. I don't know. Ski. Tips up. You're a pizza guy. Stop.

No one has ever pizza'd down a terrain park harder than me. You earned that Zot card that day player my quads were done yeah being a when i was a ski instructor doing doing pizza all day was pretty tough on the legs maybe that's what happened it is on the knees man stress on those knees especially your tiny ass legs dog okay famously can't get mass on those things no matter what

you should maybe try pizza and more that's how you could grow those legs that's no I don't think so okay thank you for the suggestion

have you thought about getting injections yeah I have let's get the fuck out of here bye bye let's get the fuck out of here bye bye
