Mattel Ranchos, Maddo Ranchos, Maddo Ranchos, Maddo Ranchos, Maddo Ranchos. All right, we're back. Monday morning, circling back podcast. My name is David. Hello. Hey, man. I had those more to the... Oh.

Well, you two. Hey, what's up? buddy uh hello to producer randy hi dave how about them bears da bears just keep winning man yeah definitely winning the super bowl this year i think so did you watch the game i couldn't get it on uh in my area for some reason austin he couldn't get it in his area yeah in your region what area were you in i was on the phone with my mom talking to her and she was watching and she was like, oh, they just intercepted it again.

So I was getting some updates from me. You were just getting a live play-by-play. Yes, I was. Mom watches ball? Yeah, I think she's, I think now that the bears are good, she's, you know, actually wanting to watch. I love that for her. She probably watches more ball than you do.

Probably. But, yeah, shout's to the bears. Shouts to Davy. How are you doing? Look at you. I like that hoodie. You should get more of those. That's Roeback.

You can get one using code Washington. 20. Load your cart up. Yes, you can. Yes, you can. Rowback. No, it's a great hoodie. And I did come in today saying, next time we do a rowback order, I want to get one in a different color because I'd like to have two of them. It's the new thicker ones. This is good. It's a thick, John. It's thick, but it's not thick restrictive. Yeah. You understand what I'm saying? It's a dope sweatshirt. I thought it was a hoodie. It's a dope hoodie. Sweatshirt. I thought you'd be wearing it today. I really did. I, you know what? Yeah, you thought about it. I reached for it. And I was like, something's telling me not to wear your swag senses were like no i'm going to get bodied if i'm

wearing the same thing as dave yeah and you made the right choice my friend you know you know why i went with this one i don't know just peeling back the old curtain i wanted to wear it in stew and i thought it might get a little warm wearing that one because it is so heavy so that's why i opted against it yeah well i'm feeling good and i'm operating at a very high level that's i'm happy for you man i'm really excited for you that's great stuff not not to get too much into it but i am uh I am finished episode three of the Diddy Doc. We'll talk about it either tomorrow, Wednesday, but it's two in. I've got a feeling it's going to be Wednesday if he's only two in.

Yeah. Because Chels, Chels ain't going to make it through two. Let's pencil Wednesday yet. No, we're putting it in Penn. It's Wednesday. Let's put it in Penn. So you got a little opportunity fans for the people that have not watched yet. I might have to rewatch it.

That would be insane behavior. Part of me was like, man, should I be taking notes? Like, did you guys ever take notes when you did The Bachelor, right? Like, I should have been, like, writing stuff down. He's kept it in my... Famously had a segment, Dave's notes. Oh, yeah. I still have them on here.

Sometimes I go back and look at old show stuff from, like, 2019, 2020. It's a cool little time capsule. Yeah. How fun. Right? Yeah. Yeah. It's like that sometimes.

Speaking of time capsule. Here's a chunk of coal. Dylan. I left a comment on the Live Langdon post on Instagram. Pervert alert and her boyfriend liked it. And so... Fuck you up, dude. I guess the question I have is, should I play it cool or should I DMM now?

Or I don't know how to play it. I'm just a little nervous. He's got to be expecting it maybe. I don't know. Like, he knows of your existence now. Like, that's confirmed. He knows that I exist. Okay.

it was a good comment uh romantic dinner with live or uh like a 90 minute workout with him he would just which one he'd take it i think you would just bury me in the worrying i wouldn't make it through we know that live is a very lovely young lady i'd take the dinner give me the dinner i'd get i want that free game i want like i need like to know what's going on with the chub salad yes how did he land you like what's going on well i don't I'm like, okay, I don't need to know that. You said free game.

Yeah, I get. You're right. That is technically under the umbrella free game. I just want to know, like, has a chub salad evolved? Are we adding anything new? I know we were topping it with feta. You know that. Yeah.

They were calling me feta wop. Has watermelon in it? Watermelon, feta cheese, things of that nature. Maybe like a pumpkin seed. There was definitely more than that. It wasn't just those two items. There was probably a green. Maybe a spinach leaf.

Look at up, Randy. Maybe arugula? Like you fucking know. Fuck arugula, dude. You don't know anything about chub salad. There's not, dude, if you serve me pizza and that is garnishing it, I cannot peel it faster. Arugula does not belong on pizza. I'm going to co-sign what Dave just said.

That's one thing Pine House will do. I never said it did. No, no, you're. Shub salad. Oh, my God. Shut to all the new listeners. Okay, it's definitely not It's definitely not Cobb Salary

You might have to look up touching base This is Rip now You're having trouble now at the time Yeah We'll figure it out There you go It is watermelon feta

Okay Now I'll get your tea out Hungui Well it's good for the tea No promises Anyway Dylan shivery See you already introed me

And then I said what I had to say So when you do a double intro, I don't know how to respond. Like, hey, I'm excited for the confidence. Find something else to say, dude. I'm excited about what's happening. You're talking to a mic for a living. He's thinking in the world of wash media. Spent like six years complaining about how he doesn't get introduced.

Sometimes he doesn't get an introduction all. Now he's getting more introductions than he knows what they do with. I just don't know how to. His cup runneth over. You're the coach who scripts the opening drive. I had the, and then there's like one thing that goes wrong. It's like, ah, uh, dumb guy question about. What do?

Dumb guy question about. You're not going to get. the right answer for me so sark is known for having like elite like opening scripts for football games and he's great at it like they i got that perk script they start they start really fast i got that perk script and i'm freaking twisted right now and then and then when the defense adjust to what they're doing or they settle in he kind of loses his way a bit why not get me out script the whole game why not have like four different scripts starting from play one big farmer's got a stronghold on our health care system.

You ever think about that? Why not just have four different scripts? Is it, does it take them all week to come up with one? I think there's just too many, it's a real, it's a real like, there's too many variables, if you will. Once they adjust,

let's say they start, let's say they start dropping. If they go too high safety, linebackers back into coverage. They go too high safety, this script will work to combat that a bit. He needs a flow chart, is what you're saying. The flow chart, yeah.

I'm just saying like... Yeah, I say what you're saying. But a lot of it's going to be contingent on like what your defense does after that opening drive, which again, with the flow chart. But like, at some point, like, you got to just not... That's too robotic. Right? I mean, there's...

You got a coach with a little fuel. Of course. A lot of it is that. But, you know, the scripts works so well. Well, Dylan, I'm glad you brought that up. We've actually got a special guest. Let's bring him in here. It's Sark.

Sark. Hey, man, what's up with the... scripts. Why don't you just do a Hail Mary every play like I used to do back in Madden when I was in grade school? Yeah, that'll work. It did a lot. The portal opens up soon.

I guess since we're talking ball, I've got to give a shout out to the South Dallas, the South Dallas 6A and 5A boys, my Duncanville Panthers, the DeSoto Eagles, and the South Oak Cliff Bears, Golden Bears. Are we at the semifinal? Where are we? We're going to state. We got state this weekend. Duncanville's got state?

Duncanville. Against DeSoto? Who do they face it? No. No. So, weirdly, the way it works, Duncanville and DeSoto are in the same district. But the way they break it down, when the playoffs come, you get your different regions, divisions, I guess. And Duncanville and DeSoto both made the state championship in their respective.

Texas is so big that they have multiple, like, 6A state champions, interestingly. So... you're uh this is i'm giving you an opportunity gas up your old coach claude mathis shout out to claude mathis who is the head coach of the de soto eagles they had a big time win against south lake carroll heavy favorite that's right who were like the dragons saw in like top three in the whole country south lake lake number one in the state most of the year i did not give desoto a chance but uh claud mathis of andersen high school fame he coached me my uh he coached my basketball team freshman year he was my coached my coached

How much older is he? Didn't me? Yeah. He was probably early 30s when he coached me. Okay. And that was, you know, 2000. He looks great and he's still high energy. I got to say, because after that game, he was lit.

He played, when he was my coach, he played in a adult football league. Like, he just for the love of the game. And he, I mean, like, full tackle football. He is the all-time leading rusher at Texas State. formerly Southwest Texas University. If you recall, he is also the guy who broke up my fight. Yeah, I always forget that little note. He broke up the one time I've ever been in a fight.

What was his way of breaking it up, by the way? So I was on top of this guy. Nice. Punching him. And I felt like a, you know, like someone. Don't break the couch. Not a punch, but like, could have been a punch. I was like, oh shit, his buddy's, I'm about to get jumped by his friend or something.

That wasn't the case. Claude just, like, just fucking ripped me off of this guy. But, like, he grabbed me very aggressively, and I looked up, and it was Claude. He's like, okay, fights over good. I didn't want it to keep going anyway. Great guy and a hell of a coach. And yeah, he's making his video post-game interviews making the rounds because he just, his energy is absolutely next level. DeSoto started, I think, O and 2, and they did not look good.

And they also lost at Duncanville later in the season, but that's nothing new. No offense. But, yeah, there was a lot of haters and doubters who said, like, that might be the end. Yeah. For De Soto. De Soto is a state power, as is Duncanville in South Lake. Anyway, so, yeah, he was pretty lit up after that game, which was fun to see. So, yeah, you get these three Dallas County.

I think we're playing three Houston schools. Of course, Duncanville gets the sixth matchup in, like, the last decade with, Galena Park, North Shore, Houston School, also a powerhouse. Nice. It can be a lot of fun. Hopefully, I'm sure they're on TV, right? Yes, those will be televised. And also, just fun reminder, Duncanville's been doing this in the playoffs with a backup

quarterback because, as rumor has it, the starting quarterback was pulled off the team by his mom for allegedly disobeying house rules. I don't know, but they grow them a little different in Duncanville. It's pretty crazy. do in Northwest Hills of Austin, Texas? The one coach, okay, so I saw a fight get broken up my senior year in my morning weightlifting class. Shout to Coach Anderson, who was the, he was a wide receiver coach, winner of the Cal Patty

Classic in Duncanville multiple times, and they coach for weightlifting. And there was a fight. It was a big dude and a smaller guy. And they fought in the locker room because the bigger dude, or no, the smaller dude used the bigger dude's undershirt to put over the squat bar and like protect his shoulders from like getting because he wanted his shirt to get dirty

right and um because you know some of those old weight room stuff there's rust on the bar of course and uh the other the big dude was late and that's why and he got there in his shirt he couldn't find a shirt so they fought and the little dude like whipped this big dude's ass and um it ended coach Anderson like jumped on the big guy and which it was probably the move but the little guy like got like two extra hits in because coach Anderson was like on top of him and I was like oh no I forgot to

mention Claude Mathis was also cool enough not to turn us into the principal's office he did however inform the head baseball coach because he felt he had to do something and I understand and that's when my baseball coach went and told the athletic director who then said you got to report it so that's why i got suspended but not be not directly because of claude he's going to let it mostly slide good dude that is yeah good dude good dude of the week certified it's already monday um all right well let's uh oh yeah little schedule this week normal week fully normal week okay next week we're gonna record monday And then I'm taking off Tuesday going back up north, not to give away anything. I'll be leaving Monday afternoon, too. So we'll have an episode in the morning. Okay.

Well, fantastic. I think tomorrow is going to be circling back on touching base. I need to cut some clips for that. There is one we talked about at Brett's party that we need to do. With Jeff, yeah. I'll reach out to him. Okay. Oh, no, I remember what it was.

It was Barrett fashion. Oh, yeah. That might be what we do. Yeah, later. I just thought there would be, that would be fun to get, we used to have Barrett of retail therapy and oysters, clams, and cockles on the pod to talk, like, fashion stuff. And it would be funny to go back and listen to, like, 2018 Barrett and have him in here to be like, uh, you guys still dress like shit. Well, yeah, and also like, see, like, how his takes held up. Yeah.

You know. We'll see. And be like, yeah, no one's, no one's doing that anymore. Uh, if you have not checked out the Patreon, last week was Ladies Week. and it was just a phenomenal success. The ladies brought it, as I knew they would. Had a little something for everybody. I want to do another ladies' week sometime in the next four months or so.

Friday was the Merriman Christmas cocktail hour. I did make an appearance. I was there for about an hour and a half or so. Saw Randy, saw Dave, saw the boys. Our friend Jeff was there, like we talked about. It was a good little situation. I couldn't stay long. I mentioned it.

We had a guest in town, and they were looking after parks for me so I could get away for a bit. but it looked like I heard it went pretty late and I heard Dave was like one of the last people there can't confirm or deny that you know what I just

I just realized we'll find out I do think we got a a photo of all of us in front of the tree maybe you left by them but we need a gram that we need to do a little Graham slideshow on the CB account

for sure yeah you were running around with the camera the film photo yeah the rest of my weekend was running there errands and just hanging out with, I guess so we had a guest in and just... What else did y'all do?

Chilling with Parks. Well, they went out to dinner. Chelsea and her friend went out to dinner Saturday night, so Parks and I just stayed back and what, oh, we watch Beast games. Okay. All right. And? It is so good.

Is it good? It's so good. Remind me about Beast games. It's Mr. Beast. Ah. And he does this super elaborate, like very expensive game show with an insane amount cash prizes like the first like the winner got 10 million dollars but he also gives out money like along the way and it's just like the mind games it's it's really well done really well done

it's if you have run out of stuff to watch dude i'm telling you it's good i you know i i just i can't support mr b i was entranced i i don't know i just i'm i'm trained mainly because of this show just to think he sucks he planned a bunch of trees and he does a lot of good kind of like cured some wine. He's very generous with his many, many millions of dollars. It was a building like drinking wells in Africa. It feels like a style. It's a good show.

If you run out of stuff to watch, give it a run. And that's pretty much it, a little Christmas shopping. Two parks to get pink berry yesterday, even though it was cold out. Where did Shels take her friend for dinner? What's the name of the Mexican restaurant? We went to a Duda that one time on the east side? Yes. That's where they went.

I forgot the name of it. I don't, I remember it. The place was good, too. We sat outside. We did. Don't remember the name. But they had a good time. Okay.

And that's my weekend. Okay, Randall. Hello, Dave. I had a weekend. It started off with, went to the Texas State surplus store with Gordo. They just confiscated a bunch of stuff from TSA and then they sell it. So I got like a little multi-tool in a night. that and the knife broke immediately. So I'll get a better now. But then I went early to help Brett

set up. Mainly I just got him ice and helped set up the coolers. She was pretty ready to go by the time I got there. Had a great time. Do we want to do want to discuss what I want said I was going to discuss beforehand right now? Uh, sure. Yeah. Brett, Brett throws a great party. He does very well with the food. He does a great ambiance, all that. Now, at the end of the night, and Brett's feeling a little toasty, and he offers to make you a custom cocktail, do not take him up on it because he does not know how to make cocktails. He is not a mixologist. He is not a bartender. Yeah.

Let me, Dylan, let me explain to you the cocktail. Well, there was two. There was two because one was what, wine and whiskey? Were they doing that earlier? He made. Or sangria with whiskey? Yeah. I don't know what he thought he was doing there.

That was, that's what I walked up on. He actually made three cocktails. Okay, so I know that. I don't know what the other one was, but I'll explain this one, Dylan. He tried to make a marg. He made a, it was, um, rum chata, vodka, and lime. And it, and I think maybe seltzer. What's the flavor of rum rum chata?

It's like milk, it's like cinnamon. It tastes like kind of like cinnamon. Like cinnamon toast crunch milk. With lime? With lime and like seltzer. We all- Did it curdle? Like that sounds like it.

The person it gave it to described it as drinkable. And then we like, okay, like he was trying to be nice and we all passed it around. The best way I could say it tasted like carbonated eggnog. That's that's exactly right. And like it was like if someone tried to make an eggnog seltzer, it was not good. He was like on his late night bullshit. He admitted he made me nice. not remember making that cocktail.

But yeah, it was terrible. So don't take a cocktail from Brett. He doesn't know that. What was the other one? He made a marg in between. Okay. That was, I think, you know, a marg, even a bad marg is drinkable. Not ideal, though.

But yeah, you're right. Yeah, he was trying. It was good intention, but not great. So anyways, it was a fun party, though. Had a good time. Then Saturday, licked the wounds a little bit, worked on a, that table just did chores went on a nice bike ride because it was like 75 degrees out and i actually biked down by you dude yesterday was so cold outside but yeah it was weird so that was

saturday and then sunday was just pretty much staying in watched the ditty doc just did chores around the house nothing crazy yeah party man i was the i had back-to-back parties but brett's was Brett's was a lot of fun Micah came through unexpected he was dripped out, murdered out, absolutely stole the show just pretty sure none of my

predictions came true from my column on Friday like not a one no I don't know I no DJ Duds, no Barrett didn't see Will I don't know if what was out of town.

I guess I could have just asked him as we were out there. Dylan, I got there late. Dylan, I only saw you for a little bit. So I was the only there. I was there kind of stuck, you know, talking to Randy. You know, that is. Yeah. No, it was fun.

I didn't play any flip cup. I wanted to. Yeah. But Dave kept on, like, criticizing everyone playing it. I did. If someone couldn't get the thing, Dave's like, oh, no, oh, no. That's classic Dave. They did play a single game.

Well, they only played like two games. I think, I don't know if there was like, people were worried about the police this year, but we played a lot of games, but it was like just a lot of rounds with the same people. So it would be like two teams and like Brett would be like, all right, and like we'd play like 10 in a row. Yeah. It was a, it was a fun night.

I was out way too late. I didn't get back. I wasn't like on the, back in the house until like 1.30, which is very amazing. Yeah, I actually left before Dave. Yeah, I was there for like five and a half hours. Wow. Yeah. Good for you.

Good for me. Right shoe. Can you take care of the bottom of the shoe? That's killing me. Oh, that's gross. What is that? It is gross. I don't know.

Oh, it's part of the rug. I know. The rug's coming up. Rugs coming up. That look gross, though. Sorry. Okay. I'm a good broadcaster.

I do think that will might attract some stuff in the office. I'm just, I'll throw them out there. Oh, really? Classic. Saturday. So my mother-in-law was at home. So she kind of helped.

It helped. I wouldn't have stayed out as late if I, if I didn't have her there because I, you know, that was a Saturday was a little bit tough. I did not sleep particularly well that night, that night. But we had a name. neighborhood Christmas party.

And this one was a little bit, it's an older crowd, but also like a more aggressive crowd because of that. Because it's like people who like, all right, well, I don't have kids for the next like four or five hours. I've got a sitter or they're staying somewhere else. Let's go hard. That was kind of, I, so I went a little hard Saturday night. Nice.

Back to back. A lot of people who I don't know, but that were talking to me about the, the reel that we dropped on Friday here at the office of. me trying to convince my wife that I had to go on a Jojo Siwa cruise. Here's some context that a lot of people didn't have. They were like, what made you think of that? And I was like, well, it's a real thing. I guess you're not online because there is a real Jojo SeaWa cruise.

That might be a fun segment, real or fake celebrity cruises. Because I mean, there's some that are like. There are a bunch, yeah. Like I said, the Renfair had their own cruise thing. So, like, these theme cruises are all over the place. Somebody in the comments in that reel said that their high school friends unironically went on the Kid Rock Cruise. And I was like, that's fucking sick.

It was, the Kid Rock Cruise was, like, disembarked at the same time our EDM one did. And we got back at the same time, too. So we saw all the characters. So that was, y'all got pre-political Kid Rock. You got, like, 2016, 2017 Kid Rock. Who was still like, I mean, he wasn't taking, did I use that word correctly, disembark? Just embark, I think.

Embark? Disemboweled. Like, you embark on a journey. Okay. But anyway, they were like, yeah, we saw that was hilarious. And I was like, you guys thought I just, like, made up Jojo Siwa. And like, yeah, we thought that was kind of weird. I was like, well, check this.

And I'm like pulling up my phone. I'm like, check this out. Yeah. What a professional cruise ship would? how they would react to that is a joke only for Dave what the Titanic reacting to the Titanic

okay yeah that reals really funny I haven't seen that yet still it's it's so dumb we were just talking about YouTubers who like just react to videos it's like John and Betty react to Pink Floyd's

the wall for the first time there's a meme format going around of just professional blank reacts like there was a guy professional dry walker waller like reacts and it was like to a skate trick and he goes this doesn't have much to do a drywall but there are some similarities okay okay uh yesterday man i i i was pretty proud of myself i i pulled myself up and uh hit the gym hit the sauna as well post workout sauna which i normally like if i if i didn't sleep well or if i like I had anything to drink the night before.

I'm not doing shit. And I did it. And I was very proud of myself. And then I left the Cowboys room my evening because, I don't know. I didn't, I thought there was, where I've been on them this season, or at least the last like three, four weeks, I'm like, they're not going to make the playoffs. But I would like to have that glimmer of hope because they play on Christmas Day, right? Like, I'd like to have it through, on Thanksgiving, obviously, through the holidays.

It's nice to have a little bit of something to look forward to that maybe they're There's just giving you a little bit. Cling into a little hope. Now, like, they've got three games left. And I'm not going to, I don't want to watch. Like, they're pointless games. They have a 1% chance. Appetty has overtaken me with the Cowboys.

I just have no emotional investment in them at this point. Like J.J. McCarthy, who is widely shit upon on Twitter. Some of it unfairly, but most of it hilariously. For being bad, comes out first drive, throws a pick. And you're thinking, uh-oh, here we go. And then, like, he looks very, very competent, which helps when you have all the time in the pocket and you have zero pass rush you're up against.

And you could just throw the ball to Justin Jefferson. People like that. So I, that was, that was, I was pretty miserable last night watching that. Because I, in no point that I think they were going to win that game. Like, I was like, they can't stop them. They're going to lose this game. Brandon Aubrey's missing field goals. So all that.

two of them um you have seemingly no linebackers who are competent it was just very very sad what did you see the video of the cop that went to do the the wellness check on the eagles guy no it went pretty it went pretty viral did you say wellness check yeah because i think he just was like on facebook just saying he's going to kill himself because of uh the eagles lost barely it's one of our fans in the chat right now it went like i saw it even that was him yeah was it jake yeah oh i did see him post a video no offense i didn't watch it yeah but i did see that he posted an eagles video like it just showed him shouting into the camera and i was like well i don't want to watch this i'll get no offense i'll see i'll see if i can pull it up all right got to bed late

that's the other thing that's the thing that really pisses me off is you stay up watching sunday night football you're disappointed and then you look up i got to clean the kitchen up a little bit after dinner and it's 11.15 by the time I get in bed, which is way too late. I'm 41. Whatever, man. At least I know this. My holiday prep is done because I'm a big Fair Harbor guy. Oh, yeah. And I've been dishing out Fair Harbor's gifts.

I don't. I'm fine. The eagle's lost and the dogs are barking. I'm scared. I got you. You don't play on hurting yourself? No, the fucking Jalen Hurts through three goddamn. Turn the ball over six times, man.

this team is not going to go to the playoffs. I was still upset, dude. I was upset last night. I just silver lining and improves draft position. They're like in, I'm just saying, yeah, you're right, but they're going to, the thing is, they're too good, they're not going to lose, they need to lose out. Let's get up. Let's get that pickup.

But they're good enough, their offense is good enough. In New York, you're going to beat both those teams. They're going to lose the charges, probably. Yeah. Looking at two more losses. I'm sorry I'm riding with the bills everybody knows that

everybody knows I'm rocking with Western New York everybody knows my history they know they know me up there they know that Josh Allen he's

something else I'm up I'm up 32 going into today he's got the Steelers running back in the first round of the playoffs my guy

I'm up against we do it's largely largely because of Josh Allen also just some some savvy some savvy stuff

at TN you pull on the right strings aty n et n we do two rounds per for the playoffs like two games two weeks for one round of the playoffs really get a more accurate uh in theory yeah that's a good call um i guess it's been a couple years since i've made the playoffs so i don't really remember how many games i got to win but i went from first place to fifth uh over a four week span and you missed and i missed the playoffs yeah your your team was cooking early dude i was i'm just cursed man all right well let's go through like some projections for next year's fantasy draft based on what you've seen this year i'm not i'm not fucking picking zay flowers oh not doing that bucky irving was really good until he missed uh i don't know

nine weeks in a row that's dylan's fantasy corner y'all mar chase when uh burrow went down was not was not himself the bengals are a really bad franchise so dude what's up with what's up with burrow right he's in a sad boy shit he is he had a pretty terrible game yeah they didn't score any points no which is a tough thing to do yeah that's dillan's fantasy corner yow that good are we done there's always next year man could we try it you want to try it again you want to run that there's always next year you're 21 in my league oh that's right you've never won sorry it's a long time i got second place once you've only lost once though right last place you're saying last place yeah only once and i did pay my debt i did pay my debt which was

wearing a dress in line at franklin barbecue for about six hours to get barbecue for the rest of my league on draft day okay you got to eat some of that barbecue right yes but i had to pay for the first hundred dollars of it myself it was probably like a three hundred dollar order damn i bet that same order is like $500 now. Yeah, probably so. Meet fallation, Randy. I know you thought that wasn't a real thing, but it's true. I know it's a real thing.

I know. Lunchflation. Mike, I was talking about taco flation. Hey, let's jump up to our friends up in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. We definitely talked about this in the last couple of years that there's a big megachurch. We probably have listeners who go to this church as it's like one of those ones where it's like 100,000 people or members or something crazy. Is this church, is this the Dallas version of Joel Osteen's Houston one? Okay.

There's, there's a few of those in Dallas. That's the thing. There's, but this, this is like the one. This is in Plano. Houston and Dallas have got to be like the epicenters of megachurches, right? Yeah, this is, this is very gemstoney, the whole thing. But they do a, they do all the Christmas stuff, including their Christmas show, which is like $71 a ticket. $71 a ticket.

to go to the Christmas performance. There's clips coming out about, and it's just, they're doing the most. And I don't, I was raised Catholic. I could tell you, the Christmas Eve Mass was not like this. No, no. We had like candles and we were just seeing like, Noel, you know, and the holy night.

It was, yeah, it was, it was beautiful. It was beautiful. I at least look forward to that. Yeah, that one. Keep going. Randy's Polish Yeah Let's check it out

Let's just run this little clip But they're doing They're doing the drummer boys In midair Yeah if you're not watching The drummers are Hooked into harnesses And they are flying

Throughout the arena About a good like 50 feet off the ground Insane sick light show I mean This looks like A Girl Talk concert or something.

Or what's the one? Ghost lamb. Now, that we have a woman dressed as an elf doing somersaults through the air, backflips and everything. Yeah, that's insane. Are they aware that there's a really popular

HBO show making fun of them? They have to be. Right? Jim's, that, that show gets better, like, with age. It's such a great show. I might go back and watch that first, season again. They had, uh, Randy used the image for the thumbnail. They have the jet packs. Jet packs. They do this. They basically do this, which, but like, they're wearing jet packs.

Oh, goodness. They do the most, man. And they get a lot of blowback. I don't know what they do with the money that they raise from this. Well, a lot of it goes into funding the, uh, the program. I mean, that, that's, that's, that's, yeah. They put a lot more time than we put into like listener meetups and stuff. to think that that money goes to good yeah goes to god bro they don't like deposit into god's checking account they might i don't know no god's on crypto okay i just smoke it yeah that's that's how you actually found the church you're hopelessly addicted to smoking cryptocurrency the church helped me find my way they did and look at you now you're doing your podcasting i'm off crypto you're off crazy you lost your diamond hands do i do i need to go and see this for the

finish out the year of live performances yeah actually yeah this would be the this would be the best one i would i would respect you going to see this more than any of the cover bands you count it's one cover band it's it's one cover bag like five times they're not early to have a christmas show you gotta get that money dude there's sunday there sundays between yesterday and christmas anyway that that doesn't matter yeah this was uh this was a tic-tok sensation a few years ago um our ticket sales go and they directly fund the christmas show a lot of the criticism i'd love for those people to come and see the show because once you sat in the room you feel the love and the joy and you're a part of it see i don't know man that it just really it kind of

this is if this is how you get down then by all means this is this is just something i chalk up to just an empire and decline this is more just cultural just rot yeah i'm a tradition go up there put a robe on i'm being a little judgy but just go up there put a robe on singing your voice like this in the name of the pod have you ever been to a traditional catholic christmas service dylan not christmas no but i'm i'm familiar with the the chanting forever and ever when my when my friend eugene his first name is austin when he got married And it was a very Catholic ceremony. And the priest just kept saying,

Austin and Alexis. So that's just forever like ingrained in my psyche. Austin and Alexis. There's a good clip going around of a guy at a who's like a best man and a wedding. And they're showing the cameras on him as the, the officiant or the priest or whatever. He starts, he's Irish, right? And he kind of starts doing like a sing, a song thing.

And this guy's trying so hard not to laugh. he's just like doing like the look down like smile where you're just like he's clearly like he'd not he's not been like to a Catholic mass before I'm the dude I'm the king of of holding in a laugh yeah in that kind of situation yeah I'll do like you'll know and I'm holding it in because you'll see me start like nodding as if I'm nodding in agreement but I'm really just trying to divert that energy and tension that feeling really back to like middle school you try not to get in trouble in class by laughing at something your shithead friend did yeah yeah you're trying to give a speech for the class and

all your friends are making faces at you and stuff and yeah that's the one oh stand in alexis alexis texas was in david's bowling class that's a true story people don't talk about enough as was kyle park noted texas singer and songwriters i feel like we've talked about it a few times on this program. Yes, it's a trope on the show, part of the Lord. Yes, it is. Amen. There you go.

Were you raised Catholic? Yeah. And then they always hit the little chimes. They bring me up there with the triangle. Catholics, they're marathon services, man. They're so long. Be like that sometimes. It's hard for me to sit through.

Yeah, sometimes it's like, hey, Padre, let's get that homily going. Like, we got the Bears game to go to. And I never knew when to, like, do the, like, the Neal or the different things. It's just watched. You just find the oldest woman in the church, and you just watch her. She's the way to go. She's like, she knows what she's doing. Okay.

But it's just generally you're supposed to follow the priest. So, like, when he's sitting or standing, like, you're sitting or standing. Okay. In general. You, like, you realize it's very obvious that you're the last one to do it. So you kind of, like, act like, you've got, like, a back thing. Sorry, I got this old knee injury. I got in this fight, and Claude Mathis ripped me off this guy.

Yeah, still feeling it. Tore my knee up a little bit. I had to fist fight for my honor in the locker room. I'm 1 in 0. He's 1 and 0. You got retired. I hope to retire 1 in 0. Yeah, you can't be fighting at 42.

The only thing I'm fighting these days is myself. I'm sorry, man. Lord, hear our prayer. I'm sorry, dude. And also with you. I thought you were setting up. I thought you were setting up an ad there. And with your spirit, Dave.

Come on. That's some old school stuff that you just. I'm sorry, bro. I'm old school. Let's see if the new pope brings it back to Jess and also with you. Do you recognize post-Vatican too? Is that the sequel? I don't know.

Hey, oh my God. I forgot this was on the rundown. I'll just let you take the floor Is it time for the motherfucking space bar It's a space bar Space bar It's a space bar

It's a space bar What's the space bar You might be asking yourself if you're new here Shout to the Stoley's and the divers Who are seeing this for the first time It's a segment where we talk about Something space Or something bar related

I don't know why I don't know how we got there But that's what it is Don't say we this is this is you we got a space bar here it's a it's a top tier segment

oh my gosh so the first one is we get to look forward to a supernova explosion two stars will soon collide and create a supernova explosion so massive that it'll light up earth sky

possibly getting brighter than the sun I read that it's like that like a thousand times brighter than the sun but luckily it's farther away from the sun, so it's not going to, like, melt us, you know? It's a Kobe Calais song? V. Sagite. Where'd you call me?

V. Sagitei, a binary star system. It's a putite line. He's on the brink of a massive Nova explosion, which could soon, soon being the operative word here, be visible to the naked eye, even during daylight. Even during daylight, David. So two, yeah, these fuckers are going to collide. Two stars. Big, big dogs.

two star i haven't seen two stars collide like that since ben affleck and jalo when you when you hear it could happen soon what like how soon in your mind like where does your mind take you got there good job randy how soon do you think this could happen like um i'm going to say because this is i would say this is in the next like 15 years yeah i was i didn't thinking soon would mean like months like hey prepare we're yeah that's where my my mind went to months too yeah weirdly well not not weird if you understand you know science and the light speed of light this happened about 10,000 years ago okay okay yeah so it's already happened it's already happened the lights but we have not seen it yet and uh it's gonna it'll occur sometime um between like

2067 and then like 30 years beyond that okay so it's not it's not imminent which i thought it was at first that's why i got a little excited about it but still kind of sick i always enjoyed those memes of like me as a kid when I heard the sun will eventually like explode and kill us all but like it's going to happen in billions of years and you're just like oh you think it's funny this is a two-parter you're laughing a two-pot yeah yeah we're all gonna die and you're laughing yeah laughing in millions a year we won't we won't be around then anyway i would uh there's no way you can help me with this but i'm just curious like the the process of two stars colliding um well they have gravitational i know i'm just thinking

like how close I don't that's crazy I don't I don't like a mile apart right they're like you know probably very very far apart and they're just like spiraling closer and closer together and then like that that's what it look like if two stars collide but no one's around to see or hear it did they actually collide well we're going to see it it already happened we're going to see it in I don't know roughly 50 60 years something like that man so I hope I'm around to see and what did this create supernova it's a champagne supernova actually the first of its kind huh that's topical that rocks dude yeah dude oh dude I talked I taught uh roads he finally asked me like why I say something that's sick I did like a sarcastic we were walking through the parking

a lot of lifetime after a swim wasn't something happened I forgot something I go oh sick to myself he goes why do you say sick he's like what is that like and so i explained it to him so now he's trying to like i was like it's only reserved for like something actually really dope i mean you can't just be like and like sometimes like sometimes bad means good like that's tough for a kid to understand yeah like oh she bad like oh what she do she or i typically don't i typically don't objectify women in front of my son oh i do i just do it in my head like parks she bad I don't do that He just hits you

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Dude parks is of the age Where he He clearly like

Finds girls attractive Like he has a crush At school And all that stuff But he gets so embarrassed When you bring it up Like he just gets really

uncomfortable Talking about like If girls are attractive And he refuses to admit When girls are That's the way it should be Yeah I don't want my kid being like

Yeah dad She's yeah You're right man And like If he's watching a movie Where two people kiss He'll cover his eyes. He just gets, like, he just gets, like, visibly.

I still don't like watching people kiss in movies, unless it's like a four-minute movie. Come on, man. You wish I haven't slacked me in a while. What's going on? Hey, kiss. This is a two-part space bar. Wow, there's more.

Part one has concluded. I was just thinking about the stooleys, the divers, and then the square-toe mafia that have all found us in the last, like, three months that are all just like, wow. These guys really got something. Yeah. I'm learning about space. Physicists now suspect our universe has a mirror twin.

Oh, what's up? A cosmos running backward in time. If that's true, we're only seeing half of reality because the Big Bang may have created two universes and we're living in just one side of the cosmic mirror. my brain can't comprehend time running backward like the other universe is running backward in time what does that what does that mean what does that mean randy you want to wrap your head around that one explain it big dog just means there's like more left-handed people than there are

right-handed people what if this what if this is just half of the situation that we're seeing it's a mirror david no a mirror image you're not it's not clocking to you no i don't know how they came up with this graphic. That doesn't do much for me. How does this affect LeBron's legacy? Yeah, no. I was just going to say, like, how does this align with string theory, or does it? Go ahead.

Yeah, it aligns with string theory because I don't really know what string theory is. What is it? We'll talk later, dude. That's a cool graphic, a little. say yeah if you're not look it's just like string theory proposes that fundamental particles aren't points but tiny one-dimensional vibrating strings whose different vibration patterns manifest as different particles like electrons quarks i don't know what that is or even gravitons aiming to unify quantum mechanics in general relative see i just i don't have the brain

for this. Hold up, let him cook. I'm big enough to admit it. Don't know what I just read. I don't know. They got the space looking like a grid, though. That shit always blows my mind. Yeah, dude.

It's like that scene in Interstellar. When he's doing stuff. He pokes a hole through the pen. Yeah. The pen through the paper. Do you understand? Yeah. I mean, in theory, not in practice.

this. Yeah. Well, that's crazy, dude. Yeah. I mean, I never thought of like that. I don't know how that affects me and my day to day going forward. What if there's another Dave in another universe moving backwards in time? Never think about that? Everything about that. You think about it often? Think about it. Yeah. You think he's out there slinging it? Some just... Football? No, he's probably not slinging it. Maybe he actually grew up in Philadelphia. And he's, maybe he's got really twitchy hands. But what do you have grown up in Philadelphia? What if, there is like what if Philadelphia is not the epicenter for that well i guess he's he's not growing up he's shrinking down if he's going back in time but he could still be a boxer but in everything to

them is normal like to us it would be like oh everything you guys are doing is backward but uh but to them it's like no this is the only reality we know exactly they're probably saying the same stuff about us right now they're like uh those guys are well they don't really have a concept or forward to To them, that is forward. They probably think we're a bunch of idiots. They're right. We've got to get the pod down there or wherever that is. Yeah.

We got to get them the pod. Can we reach them via radio signal? I don't know. Have you tried? Maybe that radio that Dustin makes. I'm going to hit them on my two-way panger. The radio that the radio tower that Dustin makes to talk to his girlfriend. Okay.

How far are you? Does an all-time sent move. Yeah. yeah but they're mad cute man yeah never ending story Dave you know that I watched that one not so long ago and that's uh the stranger things minute with Dylan wow is a twofer I'll put it on hold because I'm watching Diddy oh that's right wait so how many episodes do you have left I have I'm about halfway through

four when's the new season the new second the second half Christmas Day Christmas Day which I'm a little upset about just annoying that takes away from Jesus's birthday that that you know I'm supposed to be going like to mass and they're singing all that stuff but there's just more stacking mass I'm going to be gaining mass the demigorgon has killed will I don't know if that's going to happen maybe don't don't spoil it dog that I'm just a prediction Steve is going to sacrifice himself like our lord and savior don't give predicts. he's not there yet there's people listening at home that if you haven't started it by now though it's not happening yeah that's the biggest theory people think that's going to happen i don't know

but i just hate that's on christmas day because like trying to find times during holidays like i don't know when i'm going to get to watch like of course some people are going to and then it's going to be very hard to avoid spoilers yeah it's annoying that is annoying oh man i'll tell you what's annoying, trying to navigate this world of websites, domains.

I don't think they're going to like that. When you said, we built this company on Squarespace, I just started singing that in my hand. We built this business. Okay, that sounds better. Cyllables. But you said company when you were talking. Yeah, but I wasn't doing a song then. Right.

Yeah, okay. We built this business on Squarespace. Who does, we built this city. Who's that? Jefferson Starship. Duh. Everybody knows that. I was just testing you.

Speaking of Space Bar. That song's annoying. Hey, can you pull up the Diego tweet? His apology. We got to talk Heisman. real quick. Can we talk a little highs? We can talk a little highs.

Who did you vote for? You're a voter. I voted for. I voted for Jacob Rodriguez. I voted for Jacob Rodriguez, too. It's bullshit he wasn't there. The Heisman trophy is a joke. It's a joke.

I respect it. It just goes to the most popular quarterback in the country. Sometimes running back wins, sometimes. And you have to be an absolutely exceptional wide receiver to win it like DeBonte Smith did. defensive guys Charles Woodson is the only one to do it in the last I don't know how many years or maybe ever

He also returned punts And he was really good at that So he's also a special teams guy Defensive guys are not They get no love for Heisman It's just quarterback play Did you see Fernando Mendoza's numbers Compared to Joe Burrow?

I saw some people doing that He like almost doubles them up It's nuts I don't think that's a good way to look at it personally. But I just show you that the field's a bit watered down this year that in that context it, I like to, I, cause I, I, I think you have to look at, you have to look at it relative to this year.

And I get like, a lot of people saying it's the worst Heisman class. I'm not saying, worst fucking, worst fucking pledge class ever. It's pretty, it's a pretty weak one though. We have to be honest here. It's pretty weak. If he was doing that at a school that wasn't Indiana, if he was doing that at Georgia, people would be, like, totally fine with it, I think. Well, it's more impressive that he did it at Indiana.

Agree, agree, but I'm just saying, like, Indiana, no offense to our Hoosiers out there. No, give him offense. Just kind of, it doesn't, it's not necessarily like Blockbuster Must Watch football, even though they're a great team. He has a dog. He's a good quarterback. I'm not trying to take anything away from bad. He had the moments.

I have no problem with it. But, yeah, if you want to say it wasn't like the most exciting year. That's why, like, having, like, a defensive player, especially one with so many fans who are also cowboys. I think that would have been a nice add to the mix. Not saying he should have won it, but I'm thinking, like, have them there. So many people who just get very personally offended when someone ran a personal internet suggested that a hat was worn the wrong way. Correct.

Yeah. He could have been up there. He would have had like a little bolo on. I would have been fine with him winning it. He had, his numbers were gaudy for a linebacker. Sure. A ton of turnovers. Through a touchdown pass, no.

Yeah. Triple digit total tackles. A dog. Great player. Yeah. He'll win the, what is it, the butt kiss? Have you seen his hairline? No.

Dude, it's. I don't know if I've ever seen him without a hat. point why just pull up a picture of jacob rodriguez rainy no i don't want i don't want to get my mansions were bad dude he has it's a good hairline it's elite oh okay good yeah he's got he's got he's got a good look with the stash and he's got a full head of hair with a great hairline he's got he's got one of those small forehead hairlines oh okay yeah okay on the left oh yeah it's yeah there you go look at that hairline dude okay yeah now that you i've definitely seen this He's got good vise.

I thought you were going to say he was losing it. No, no, no, no. Dude, I don't want any more smoke from tech fans. I think that's why I... It's kind of surprising he's not losing it because, dude, you know this guy's just producing testosterone at a level that's unprecedented. Yeah.

He's putting, like, typically guys who were just... Oh, man, I forgot about the tat. Yeah, dude, he's got to keep the facial hair. And I think he knows that. The stats definitely works for him. But anyway. Especially with the backwards hat. The Mendoza, the Mendoza, the Mendoza,

The Mendoza content that's come out, you know, it took, it took him basically beating Ohio State for people to be like, oh, yeah, let's like really jump into what this kid's all about. Like, how does he do an interviews? Turns out great in like kind of an endearingly like, this guy's almost, he's like on the cusp of being a little too nice and corny. He's like nerdy nice. But dude, he's like, he's the best. And I don't know.

I don't know if he gets that same treatment. And then like I said, if he's the quarterback at like a school that a lot of people don't care for, like a Georgia or like a Texas, you know, or like a school that has haters. Indiana, no offense, Randy. They don't have any like a ton of haters. Exactly one school hates Indiana. Yeah. That's Purdue. But there's a video and I was trying to find it to show you. I could not find it.

It's him meeting Ricky Williams. I need to see that. Is it awkward? He's like, yeah, I know who you are. Yeah, it's incredibly awkward. I know who you are. It's wholesome. Ricky, like, introduced himself.

Hey, I'm Ricky Williams. it's like it's not like a meeting in front of cameras it's just somebody happened to capture he's oh yeah i know you are and he's like kind of off mic saying like oh yeah i used to watch you blah blah blah and he goes in for like he daps him up but he kind of goes in for the hug but like ricky doesn't pull him in all the way so it's like a long reach hug got it it's just perfectly awkward i fucking love rickie williams i do he's so badass um pavia This dude. Okay.

When. So he didn't win. He handled it about as poorly as anyone who's ever lost the Heisman. He dressed like Night at the Roxbury. Okay. The fit was questionable. Fine. Cool.

Posta Graham. Do you say F the voters? F the voters. Had to double. check that because I was like there's no way up to voters but we all family or something like that i don't know mixed messaging there and then uh was out at the club getting bottle service and they bring out like a digital you know like sometimes if you're at the club in las Vegas at like 11 in the morning yeah after uh a dumpling brunch that was a great brunch yeah was so good

Even though we were eating in the middle of them all for some reason. They'll put, like, so he did, like, you can write, like, a message. Like, it's like the thing they bring out. And it said, what did it say? Fuck Indiana. Fuck Indiana. And when they brought it out, he was just giving double birds to it. Who's this guy?

I like this guy. Diego Pavia. Pavia, I don't know how you say it. So he's, he's had a great season. He is a great, he is a really, really good college quarterback. Okay. He's a dog. He's made Vanderbilt.

a borderline playoff team can't beat Texas has the mom thing that's true has the mom who's the brother who just

pounds tall boys on the front row of every game which should be sick but like talking shit to everyone in the stadium

getting getting arrested uh Theo vons riding with him part of the entourage might be dating the mom we don't know

what's going on there yeah I don't know um I just I don't know what his plan is for the future. He's not a man of size. He's like 5'10. He's listed at 6.

I think he's 5.10. So he's done, right? That was his last year of eligibility? I thought there was some kind of deal he was trying to. Yeah. But yeah, I think you're right. Yeah. I think he is trying to fight for it.

But they got that five-star kid that they flipped from Georgia, Jared Curtis. So I think he's expecting to start next year. As you pointed out, he issued an apology. tweet and it's almost certainly chat gpt right oh it absolutely is people were pointing out because apparently there's a tell in addition to just like the overall how it's written where the sentence structure the hyphen it's got yeah some dashes yeah i didn't by the way i didn't know they were called m dashes i only know that because people call them out because it's very chat gpt um man i would just like not i just wouldn't have done any of this had it been me like in that uh backward

universe where i am competing for the heisman trophy and i don't win it i'm gonna be gracious as hell. Yeah, he definitely used chat GPT for this. What was the prompt? How much info did it? Like, hey, I mean, it's, it's kind of long. I know, but what do you, what do you interview? Oh, like, I'm Diego Pavia. I made an ass and myself after not winning the Heisman, please craft an apology for me. Do you think he typed me like, I'm off the Heisman and didn't handle it well? He says all the right things in his apology. see rather than that if I'm uh if I'm somebody who cares like I'm a GM a front office that might be looking for that kind of quarterback like that kind of action all I need to see is like

hey apologies Mendoza you're the man I I didn't handle that well like do a more casual yeah don't do you don't need to do uh 250 words no you just need to do like a real acknowledge like a quick acknowledgement because it's like okay well yeah he probably week. He just has this Baker Mayfield like everyone doubts me chip on his shoulder and that probably works for him

that probably makes it more competitive but you at some point like Baker still hangs on to that. It's like dude you're like well into your career and you've been a very good quarterback you can drop the whole like people doubt me thing like we get it you or a walk on

and you worked away you worked away up to a highsman and like it's impressive walk on there's that's that whole his whole stick there's questionable at best it's like he actually he early on he made still like he acted like he was just like nobody wanted him at all yeah i know it's not really how it went down but anyway um no i asked in the group chat about i'm like has there been a player like a good college football player that's been like that has just done like

so much stuff to become like very unlikable like very quickly like non-criminal. Yeah, it's weird. Like Johnny like Johnny Manzo had some of this in him but he was also like widely liked. Johnny everybody kind of just a lot of fun. Johnny wasn't shitting on people

like that the beat him like was he was a fun version of Diego. He was more fun. You're right. He was more fun. Yeah. And you're right. He didn't like he didn't flip birds to people

who thought you were disrespect. even though, like, he did win the Heisman. So had he not won it, maybe he would have been upset. We don't know about that. I don't think he would care. He wasn't, like, double birds and just, like, a general shithead to everybody. Baker's a good comp, but, like.

Baker and Johnny football are the two comps, for sure, as far as just, like, overall demeanor. Yeah. But I... Because most guys realize, like, if you're in the... If you're a Heisman finalist, I mean, there's a lot of examples of it, on this way but you're you probably have aspirations of playing at the next level yeah right um so you're

like well i'm gonna be uh talking to you know 28 offices he'll be a front offices and draft process i'm gonna have to like answer for all of this shit i think i'm guessing he'll be an undrafted free agent he'll get a chance to like fight his way onto a roster somewhere remember when mayfield against kansas did the crotch grab from the sideline that was when they didn't want to shake his hand right yeah yeah and then he yeah okay and starts clapping by the way little little kids are right there i don't know if it were like at midfield they had like little like i don't know what the yeah some boys and girls club or something i don't know um it was just a funny scene man yeah they didn't shake his hand he goes all right all right he cooked the whole he did

it's kansas what are y'all doing you're gonna piss off the guy that's already going to beat you by 30 points i don't know dude this was before kansas got somewhat decent they were not good Anyway, shout out to the Hysmen. Shout out to their families as well. Consider defensive players. Just consider them. Don't throw them like seventh on the ballot just to say you did. Like actually consider them.

Colin Simmons, consider them next year. Dude, you know that Colin Simmons missed all, like each level of the All-American team somehow? Hmm. Not for first, second, or 13. Chip on his shoulder for next year. Bullshit. The dude is chip on his shoulder for next year. Easily one of the best edge players in the country.

Randy. I love a good edge player. Noted edger. They're calling them Edger and James. All right. Can't end it on that. That's good. No, it wasn't.

Edge fund manager. Okay. All right. Randy with the funny note. I thought we lost you for the whole show. You look tired over there. I just don't have much to say about Heisman stuff because I don't, I don't know ball. I'll say it.

I don't know ball. Do you know that we still have Underdog Fantasy down here? No, but I'd love to talk about them. Yeah. I got a little segment that we can still talk about it next, Dave. I absolutely didn't know it. What, did you think I was done? You thought I was wrapping up?

Okay. Jalen Waddle, 62 and a half receiving yards, higher or lower. Lower. I don't know what to make of the dolphins, really. And that's my football take on that. Six and seven team and like winning games, six, seven. It's like that. Anyway, download the app today.

Beautiful. Brandy, how you feeling? Randy? Randy? Who's Brandy? I'm Randy. How are you feeling about this? I said, Brandi.

This Glover slider battle? I was going to say Avengers Doomsday trailer. I didn't know which dork segment you wanted to do. No, I haven't even watched it yet. I've watched all of the come, the cinematic universe of Marvel movies. There, yeah. No, I haven't watched all of them. In fact, I haven't watched one in like three years.

No, I haven't even seen fantastic for yet either. I'm ever since, yeah, ever since like Spider-Man 3. I really haven't been keeping up with it. Anyways, yeah, you familiar with these memes that are happening right now, Dave? Wow, great way. The Glover slash slider memes. Yeah, who are you riding with, Dylan? I'm going to need some more context here.

All right, well, I got a video kind of breaking it down here. but I've been on this for a while because me and one of my friends have been making fun of the Glover community since like 2016. So once these memes started coming, it was like I was just sending him to him. And Will and I are big on the slider community.

Slider community is a problem. For the people I don't know, the Glover community are the people that go to like raves or like EDM concerts that have the gloves that have a little light on each one of their fingers and they do light shows. Not the glove that was... In Epstein's living room.

You always say different clothes. No glove, no love. Well, I thought Gary Payton was underrated during at least the first half of his career. I had no problem with the glove. Remember that from the MJ Dock? I do. Show us the thing. So those are the glovers.

And the sliders are the people like that are haunt sliders that like slide and do the sparks like during like a horror festival things. Like there's, they, Will and I have been on this. Like, people go in parking lots and, like, practice. They were, like, slideable knee pad, elbow pads, wrist guards, and they're sliding. I cannot imagine seeing someone do this in public. I also found this, too, Dave. I show them the Titanic. You want to take a quick Titanic?

Yeah, yeah, a hard detour. This is a professional ship reacts to Titanic. It's a guy You don't see his head because his head is a ship And he speaks with shiphorn He speaks in Shiphorn That's the dumbest thing I will probably see today

I knew David like it I hope so Yeah it's really good So anyways here's a little breakdown No this is gonna be more dumb than that This is a real community Chaos spreads throughout their empire There's a new contender coming for the title

Of the most badass sport of all time With the gloving community in complete disarray after Grandmaster Glover Infinite Puppet declared war on all gloving posers, an external threat is lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike and put an end to the once glorious Gloving Empire. Because beyond the gloving circles,

there's a group that doesn't glide with light. They slide. I am, of course, talking about the notorious and barbaric group of savages who call themselves the sliding community. A collective of the most badass individuals the world has ever seen, whose devotion to their craft is absolute.

A group so mean that they strictly eat rabbit hearts and drink puppy tears. They do not slide from applause. They slide because they believe friction is a virtue. These dangerous vigilantes are led by their enigmatic leader, Supreme slider fryboy. He's regarded as both a strategist and a guardian of the slide's deeper philosophy. Very few claim to understand him, yet his influence shapes the direction of the entire movement. And while Glovers continue to argue about hierarchy, authenticity, and tradition, the Sliders have maintained a disciplined, unified presence. With the future uncertain,

there is only one thing for sure. If the Gloving community wants to remain top dogs, they're going to have to unite as one did you know ever think about that don't wasn't expecting to learn about this today i've been trying to get fry boy on so these memes the glover memes have been going on for a couple months now and i knew as soon as trash can paul did one like then that was going to be mainstream so they're they're really big right now i'm just on a different wave than these folks and that's fine would you be uh i could see you being a actually pretty good glover yeah would you be a glover or slider oh it'd be a slider i think i'd be a slider too i'd be a slider i'd be a slider I'd be a slider, man.

They look, they look doper. Yeah. I want to be walking down the street one day and just have like a slider just cut me off. Like just slide. And it's me. And it's still like later bitch.

Just sparks flying. No, I know that not every juggalo is a slider, but do you think every slider is a juggalo? Like they probably are. There's got to be overlap. This is a, this all stems from who are the,

the goth, uh, EDM dancers under the bridge. bridge you know i'm talking about those fucking people those guys i feel like this is all they are like the godfathers of this well we got that alternate angle like three years ago it was like whoa there's an alternate angle why did that happen i don't they just love people people like dancing so did like the the larping community just kind of have like a a sector like a break off like a faction that said you know what what if we did something a little edgier like we kind

stayed a little bit true to our roots and uh but we mixed in a little dance music like some of the more like little cyber punky yeah yeah what's going on i think it's more of like a goth subsect like you know let's get a little bit more cyber with it you know we make fun of this as if randy didn't do an entire video series about hunting gnomes so it's a fair point hey that was fun the the gnomes versus nights was a fun thing that was those things people are just getting involved in. Yeah. So the whole Glover thing is, to be honest, like, sometimes, you know, the weeds hidden and stuff at a show, they are kind of cool shows, but also like, I can imagine doing Glovers. I'm sure we have one fan out there that has done Gloving. I don't like saying

gloving. You don't like Gloving? No. We're going to get a professional Glover in here to give you a light show. I would, I would let if you are a, if you are in either of these communities, I will give you a seat next to Dillon for a show. Yeah, I'd welcome that. I would love to see A Dillon just have to sit next to somebody who's just sitting there explaining clothing. Can he bring extra gloves for us so we can also try it? And if we got someone that's a local slider, I would love to go to a video where you teach us and we try. And if you have extra pads that we try to go to a parking lot and you teach us how to slide.

Are these special pads? Teach me how to slide. Teach me, teach me how to slide. Man, I really don't want to end the show with that. I hate that you did it, honestly. We built this business. Built this business on Squarespace. Reed's been over for 25 minutes.

Yeah, we had to do a whole other one. But yeah, I'm team, I think I'm Team Slider. All right. Same. All this food talk. Hey, I'll see you out there. Sliding. Oh, well, I'll see at.

Hey, we're going to see everybody tomorrow. Bye. Bye. Thank you.
