All right, we're back. Circling Back Podcast coming to you live. Presented by Vizzy Hard Seltzer, the only hard seltzer with vitamin c from superfood acerola my name is will defriest my left david roth nice to not have cameras today as um forgot my under eye patches this morning my little uh i'm doing a thing a detox you know you put those things into your eyes forgot them this morning so what i'm telling you guys is if you can't tell i look like shit did you tie one off no no i've just been existing is it on or off tie one on you did you tie one on you have so much it's it's like me doing left and right you have so much trouble

with taiwan on or taiwan off it's the worst expression in the world no one even knows what it means taiwan is a taiwan means you get drunk oh no i know what's the origin of it like why did someone say oh let's let's describe getting drunk as tying one on idiots there's a number of things like that but like tell me like what what i think it's because when you put on a tie typically you're going to an event that would lead you to getting a little little buys up most people just go to work i think when they put a tie on people used to have you never seen mad men people used to drink at work you've never seen it i don't know i don't i don't watch that show i could see dylan going full mad men and then

just putting like after he's done watching the entire series he puts his like avatar photo on twitter as don draper someone described that show to me as just all vibes and no plot line. That is a really – whoever said that to you, Dylan, I'm going to be respectful of them. They're an idiot. They said it's just about like drinking at work in the – what is it? The 60s or some shit? That's the take of someone who has seen like two episodes and it was too slow for them. It's a slow burn, but it's a good slow burn.

There's definitely a plot. Yeah. Yeah. There's character arcs. Anyway, I'm going to start drinking scotch at work if that's okay with y'all. Don't care. As long as you're here

and as long as you're recording a podcast, I don't really give a shit. I would simply drink Vizzy at work, but that's just me. I'm also going to start smoking. Okay. You already do. I've been trying to start for a while now.

You've been smoking. You smoke more than any of my friends. That's bullshit. You smoke like three times a year year which is more than anybody else so this cigarette was in vegas for my bachelor party before that it had been like two years i would like i would like to announce that i had zero in vegas with you really yep yep that's disappointing how'd that work out it's thought that the origin of taiwan on dates back to the old wild west in the 1800s where a cowboy would have to tie up his horse to a hitching post before he could go into the saloon and get drunk oh somebody likes the

phrase now that it has to do with cowboys cowboy so like you like you you pull up to the dick saloon let's say you hop off all uh what's a good name for a horse i don't know man wow you're really showing you're really showing how like not cowboy you are speedster you're a city slicker skeet david can't even name your fake horse yeah you could there's a number of names you could choose right now tie one on it still it still doesn't like the dots aren't connecting tie one on you can tie your horse up you should say like yeah i tied my horse up last night okay so what other phrases are there out there for getting drunk you gotta be you gotta be uh understand understanding of dylan because he's the guy who gets mad when you don't use proper

pronunciation or or punctuation on twitter he's like there's actually supposed to be a comma before yeah yeah will's a big comma splice guy. Yeah. Will's a big comma splice guy. I noticed you didn't. Will is a big comma splice guy. Yeah. You know what, Dylan? Dude, it's Twitter. Part of the reason I do it is because I think it helps people read my sentences easier. 5% of Americans over the age of, let's say, 15, 5% know how to use apostrophes the right way.

It is the most aggravating thing of all time. They're so easy to use, but it just blows people's minds. Are apostrophes just like up top commas? Mm-hmm. Jesus. Are they? If you add an apostrophe to the word, it's simply pluralized. You're just a big dum-dum and you don't deserve like basic rights.

You just think – Wow. You think so much higher of yourself. No. It's just about – Because you know how to use apostrophes. They're so easy. I'm saying like it blows my mind that so few people know how to use –

I know. But you think that you have like galaxy brain because you know how to use apostrophes and other people don't. I have basic basic English sense. That's all it takes. That's all it takes. Oh, me lord. I think I learned it in fourth grade.

What I love about grammar in general is that the internet has rendered a lot of grammar just completely useless and no one cares anymore. I like that. My favorite style on Twitter is like if you have like two words that need a hyphen it's it's disregarding like the the commas or capitalization that needs to be done in the tweet but hitting them with that like hyphenated word just so people know like oh this dude knows what's up like he's just doing this is kind of like his thing he doesn't care about punctuation he's not dylan you who would, if he was sitting next to me,

you know who would be like in total agreement with what I'm saying? It's our friend DJ. Bean. Deej. Big apostrophe guy. Big. Maybe bigger than me. The two DJs.

Two Deej's. Yeah. You're damn right. When you say the two DJs, it's a capital D, a capital J, and then it's an apostrophe and then an S. No, it's not. Yeah, that's how you use the apostrophe. Oh, not. Dude, did I show y'all somebody on my – I'm trying to not out this person.

Out them. They were at a wedding. Drag them. Out them. Drag them. They posted a thing and weddings, a lot of times, they'll have the lit up name. Oh, they did an apostrophe. It's like a – what is it? step and repeat style thing and it was like the andersons and it was it was

and i was just like what if they were trying to say that that is the anderson step and repeat i was trying to think of an argument for them and like it just doesn't i don't know man I don't know, man. I don't know. Oh, man. There's so many in my head right now. More disappointing than that, looking at the comments, nobody called them out. Yeah, you can't, dude. Because people are so dumb. It's their wedding day. You can't call them out on their wedding day.

Dylan famously said four minutes ago that people who make that mistake shouldn't have rights. That's right. Also, when people say like rights like my parents house and they do parent apostrophe s that implies it's one parent you're talking about well so not everyone has two parents hey who pays the mortgage that's not what they mean how do you know hey i just say i just say the rents it's short for parents it's s then the apostrophe yeah we know those people, people don't though, Dave. That's the thing about it. I just don't, I think everything, Malcolm Gladwell probably has like a take on this.

All right, Dylan. It's just a dissolution of society. Let's say that you're talking about me and let's say we're talking about the newly acquired pickles I got from the Pretentious Pickle Company in Massachusetts. Oh, I love where this is going. Let's say we're saying something about Will DeFreeze's pickles. How would you do this? Will DeFreeze saying something about Will DeFreeze's pickles. How would you do this? Will DeFreeze's pickles?

Will DeFreeze's pickles. D-E-F-R-I-E-S apostrophe S. But you could also just do an apostrophe. Both are acceptable. He's hedging. No, I'm not. Both are acceptable. Okay.

Just testing you. Just making sure. Dylan's going to space. If I were, this is going to space if i were just gonna but it's not it's both are acceptable but the grammatically correct version is the apostrophe s if i'm not mistaken right uh no both are grammatically correct no but like the the if you were if i was writing a paper you should do this let's say i hypothetically write a paper about my pickles from the pretentious pickle company in massachusetts paper on his love it's a pickle paper with pickled peppers

also discussed in the pickle paper hey fucking martin grammatica over here yeah he was sick with it didn't he was he the one that blew his acl so i believe that was his brother bill billy oh billy grammatica martin and bill. Dude, Kelsey Grammer over here. Oh, shit. That's your dog. Oh, dude. That's good. But if I were to say, hey, the Defreezes are coming over for dinner.

Grammer Harrell over here. That's D-E-F-R-I-E-S. Oh, that's good. That's a good. Only true Texas Tech fans will know that. That ends with S-O-S. And I am one. What does?

The Defreezes. You had an E-S at the end of Defreeze. Yeah, that's dumb. No, it's not. No, it looks dumb, though. I am one. What does? The DeFreezes. You had an ES at the end of DeFreeze. Yeah, that's dumb. No, it looks dumb, though. I hate it. I will never, just mark my words, I will never use that. The weirdest one is Joneses. J-O-N-E-S.

I'm sorry. Yeah. Dylan has officially put his own brain in a pretzel. Do you deserve rights? Joneses ends with E-S-E-S. Down at the New Amsterdam. Undelay, undelay, mama, E-S-E-S. Uh-oh, Miss Jones tonight.

Dude, the Counting Crows guy was linked to a lot of babes in the 90s. Courtney Cox. Don't care. Among others. He was the guy, though. What was his name? I don't know. Counting. Mr. Crow. He was the guy, though. What was his name? I don't know. Counting.

Mr. Crow. He's Count Crow. Oh, wait. Hold on. So in this scenario, he's a vampire who has an alternative pop band in the 90s. Quite successful. Long December. Very sad song.

Very sad song. Had a friend down the street who had an older sister who would go into a room and just listen to it on repeat it was really depressing yeah i uh i get a little depressed every christmas that i don't spend with my family and uh that song came on shuffle one time right around christmas time and and i think i like pretty much had to pull over my car damn damn been a long december that's pretty good wasn't terrible pretty good can i uh wish a happy birthday to my beautiful lovely smart kind wife britney sure go ahead and wish her a happy birthday happy birthday britney isn't someone else's birthday today 34 looks good

on you probably a lot of people will probably a lot of people have a birthday today. Wouldn't it be cool if you were the... What if you found out you were the only person in the world with the birthday that you had? That'd be pretty sick. No babies being born. That'd be sick, man. Man, happy birthday. Let me be the first, bae, to wish you a happy birthday.

Well, I just did, so you wouldn't be the first. Why haven't you... I've noticed that you haven't done any Instagram slides or anything. Like, how many Instagram slides are you good for? No, no, no. Do it this evening. This dude's dating record is quite extensive. Winona Ryder. Is that Ariana Grande?

It's not. Mary Louise Parker. Courtney of Weeds. Courtney Cox. Possibly Jennifer Aniston, Christina Applegate. How many... That's a murderer's row of 90 boners. Here's a question.

Is the entire cast of Friends Eskimo brothers and sisters with one another? And if not, how close are they? Because I think they're fucking close. I don't know. You would have to imagine that there was some intermingling between a lot of this. Are you talking IRL or in the show? IRL. Oh, okay.

IRL. Because if both Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston both hooked up with the guy from Counting Crows, that means that they're automatically Eskimo sisters, obviously. And that means that if any other one of them slept with anyone on the show, which I get the drift that they definitely hooked up with somebody on the show right you're at a party you're like uh no one's hooking up with ross i'll tell you that he had a big career back then man he was also he's so annoying and ugly no he's not he's not that annoying oh they're all so sad he was better he was better before they made

him weird he had the same he had the same issue that eric from boy meets world had is where the writers just were like all right let's make this guy so fucking weird dude they did that to andy in the office they made him like correct and he did suck but it was kind of like an endearing suck that's a weird term it was it was more entertaining when he was just like the Cornell guy. Yeah, then they just made him into like this guy who just keeps taking L's and his dad doesn't like him. He had some anger management issues. His dad, yeah, got indicted by the feds or something. He did famously punch a hole in the drywall.

Famously. Have to respect that. He went to anger management. You ever seen The Office office pretty popular show and you know not to get ahead of myself here because i know we're going to discuss it but like as malcolm gladwell points out we're at a real risk of losing uh the bond that is the office more on that later says says uh says that uh jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd hooked up in real life. I can see that. But Paul Rudd was only on Friends for a very short period of time.

Now I just need to know. This is fucking pissing me off. I don't know why I'm focused on this. Yeah, we need to get off this. My Adderall just kicked in. I'm just kidding. I don't take Ad i'm focused on this yeah we need to get my adderall just kicked in i'm just kidding i don't take adderall that'll be terrible i guess there are a lot of friends hookups but these are with a lot of the guest stars on the show so if there's any friends heads out there just let us know reese witherspoon famously a guest star is there a friends recap pod

i feel like there would be a market for that not Not me, but somebody. Somebody wants to go back and re-watch just a very average show. Yeah, maybe. An average show, but popular. Sure. I guarantee. I just looked it up. Yep.

I'd like to congratulate the 2022 Heisman winner, Ejan Robinson. They announced his NIL deal with rollback today. What are you calling it? A lot of people are saying that I filled out my Apollo a little bit better than he does. He still looks really good in a rollback, though.

You've been looking low-key tiny lately. I'm not saying back to 20 will get you 20% off, but it will. Are you predicting a B. John Heisman? No, I'm not. Texas won't be good enough for him to be there, but he is quite a running back. Why do you look so small lately? Is it because you're not working out twice a day before your wedding? That's part of it.

Yeah. Am I looking small? Yeah. I thought you were kind of just having tiny arm king summer. I did arms yesterday, too. So that's quite deflating to hear. Thank you. Brett Merriman.

Kind of like Dylan's arms. Anyway, hey, guys. Hey, man. Been a minute having you on the podcast. Why are you here? When's the last time you even had a mic in front of your face? It's been more than two weeks. I'll put it that way.

This is my first time seeing the stew like this. Wow, with our new dope-ass curtain in there, the mounted lights. It's weird doing it without a video. It is. I came in trying to get around the cameras, then realized there's no need to go not in front of the camera. Our backdrop is officially underway. We put a deposit down.

Construction is supposed to have begun by now. So we'll see how that turns out. So our deposit potentially is just gone then. Well, depending on how you look at deposits, yeah, it could be potentially just gone if they decide not to fulfill their end of the bargain. It is gone from our bank account. I would say that we've assumed our risk.

Good game. That sounds good to me. All. Okay. I would say that we've assumed our risk. Good game. That sounds good to me. All rights reserved. Thanks for having me, guys. It's been a wildly tough two weeks, but I'm happy to be back in Texas. It's good to have you back, Brett. And let me say, I very much appreciate all the kind words and support and everything from Backer Nation has been incredible

in the passing of my dad. So thank you for that to the Backers and your guys. Backer Nation, though. That's a good group. I thought you were going to say Let's Ride. No, no. Later for that.

Got it. It's a good group, man. They care. They do. They really do so thank you but uh what's going on here what i miss brett came into the studio today looking like an absolute weapon i've never seen him look this cool it took will's breath away he walked in the studio today he had his aviators on he had a fresh shave around the cheeks area in the chin area but he had

his mustache absolutely busting stashes busting And as he started sitting down in his chair, the sunlight from the – like the morning sun was absolutely pouring into the window and illuminating his hair. And I've never seen Brett look cooler. Is it like a movie entrance? Like I'm thinking like Miles Teller walking into the bar. I called him hangman when he walked in. Did you? Yeah. Yeah.

That was pretty much what I felt. Yeah i'll take glenn powell absolutely yeah gp gp yeah he's a good dude um yeah it was cool those are my dad's by the way aviators oh that's good i mean they're they're like oh they're like old like 2001 kind of aviators you pick up your up your Thule yesterday?

A World War I issued Colt.45. I have a hilariously old firearm. Man. Yeah. It's a Tommy gun. It's not a Tommy gun. Should we do a half day where you guys have a showdown? Like shoot each other?

Like a duel? Like a draw? Or you just play paintball. Yeah. Watch me just try to lower our payroll. Did you see that? But you didn't. Yeah, I saw it.

That sounds like me at 15. These are sick. Like, it's one thing to pick up the little Nerf darts, which are easy. But if I have, like, little gel balls all over my house, I'd be so mad.

These are going to take somebody's eye out. So I bought an airsoft gun. And I started, I had them in my, I kept, like, the big thing of the airsoft little, like, whatever you call them. Bullets. Yeah, in my garage. And they once fell off of the you know thing that they were sitting on and it was an issue until we moved like my dad absolutely hated it because they were just little green pellets all around our garage for years oh i've been there

dylan didn't you used to have a similar one that shot Benoit balls? David. Grow up, dude. Was that not you? It wasn't. I'm sorry. We knew a lot of the same people. It wasn't me, dog. Okay. I think you know that.

That's why I asked. I'm sorry. I was trying to get your attention so I didn't have to do it on mic. Didn't you have a Smurf gun? Yeah, I had a Smurf gun. Oh. Jesus shit. What's the fake Nerf?

We pulled the potato cannon out up in the toad. We pulled the 10-year-old potato cannon that me and my buddy built up in the toad. What do you launch that thing with? Like, yeah, how does it work? Well, Will. You spray an aerosol? You spray aerosol propellant. Usually it's like Tufectin, Tenactin.

Remember that, John? You can just call it Tenactin. Yeah. No, no, no. I only know. You spray something like that or like a spray deodorant in the chamber and you have a grill igniter that we installed and you click it and we fire apples because it fits better than potatoes.

So we've measured it at 400 yards. Dude, I just smoke out of apples. That's not how you would do it. Yeah, Dylan just showed that he has no idea how to make a piece out of an apple. The flu or whatever. What's the hole called? I don't know. The flu.

That's a fireplace. My flu. What is that little hole called? I forgot. What is it? The carb? In what? In like a bottle.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, it has like a little hole in the back that you the carb in what carb and like a ball oh yeah you know when you take yeah it has like a little hole in the back that you can plug oh oh yeah yeah yeah oh yeah the carb the carb yeah

gotta cover it bro dude I'm off carbs right now I think that's what it's called I don't know I'm a narc I'm off carbs bro I'm actually I'm off duty I'm ATF

Dave and I are on a I didn't tell you all restriction right now Dave and I were talking supplements for like an hour yesterday you guys cutting it's almost bulking this isn't what you I read a book I read a book a restriction right now. Dave and I were talking supplements for like an hour yesterday. You guys cutting?

It's almost bulking. I read a book. Yeah, Brett read a book. That's why we brought him on. Are you in the midst of an intermittent fast, David? No, no, I'm not, but I'm going to be. I want to do all the research on it to figure out like best practices and what to avoid and how to do it and maintain.

You avoid food. Maintain. That's a good point. You just follow Cole Campbell. He talks about it all the time. Yeah. I just don't know if I'm going to do that. Why? He's a health influencer. I like getting my updates on him via you. Usually when you make a reference to something, I'm like, what is that? And you're like, oh, it's Cole Campbell. I'm going to make a proclamation right now. Let's hypothetically say that Dave falls in

love with intermittent fasting it's working for him he's hot as fuck he's just absolutely dope i don't even think you need to intermittent fast uh it's energy levels i'm thinking longevity what however well it works for dave i am going to uh try to execute a motion right now to never allow dylan to do this well what if i i schedule my window to begin before we start to record so i'm not grumpy so then you have to eat dinner at like 4 4 p.m yes no you are never allowed to intermittent fast it's yeah we cannot have hangry dylan in the studio every day oh that would be miserable i think eventually you get accustomed to not having those calories i think that's the idea

right yeah i've been intermittent fasting for for years at this point yeah i don't really first out of a i don't intentionally do it budgetary necessity see if you do intermittently we used to intermittent frat that's true we did still do intermittent fasting for while? I don't know what that means. He still got his fastball. I do. Hey, I'm a sideline swap guy now, Dave. Yeah, I've heard. That is where you buy, sell, and trade sports equipment. Do you have to trade golf clubs for golf clubs,

or can you trade a hockey stick for a Vokey wedge? I don't know what the uh i'd like to know i don't know what the exchange rate is can i trade my new skateboard for like a sim 2 should we try to trade like a penny for a house at some point how many old i do old callaway clubs would it take to get a nerf gel gun i don't know if they have nerf gel guns on on what's it called it's a sport Sportman. $80. Sideline. Are you going to buy one for parts? That's a lot of money for a toy.

$80. Inflation. Toyflation. Yeah, I forgot about Toyflation. 8.5%. Let's drop the confetti. You're going to get a wedge, Dave. I was telling Will this morning, I'm going from 60-56-52 to 58-54-50.

Interesting. Yeah. Okay. Whatever works. I don't play a lob wedge famously. I got to whet you. You don't keep one in that bag just in case? What do you do?

What are you going to do when you got a tight window, Davey? You just open up that 56 and call it a day? I bust that face wide open. Yeah. I tell him bring it back. Yeah, that's what's up. What? Dude, I keep him, bring it back. Yeah, that's what's up. What? Dude, I keep that 60 in my bag.

I pull it out once a round and regret it every time. No one ever needs to hit a 60. I feel like most people. No one ever needs to hit a 60. My friends who play a lot of golf and have 60s, anytime they try to pull it out, it's normally to execute some impossible shot, and it never works.

It's like, I'm'm gonna take it through that little window at the top of the tree no it goes right into the base of the tree you bladed it it's easy to blade a 60 it's a blade job famously it's a blade play it is a blade play i almost texted dylan this weekend guys i'll tell you why i was at the uh the horse track at saratoga was it was somebody oh or a horse there that was born in the slot did you need somebody to name a horse like off of off the dome because dylan's your guy what does that did it did any of them love the fucking no that's the point dylan there was a rainstorm in between two races i was doing what's called a pick six where you pick six

winners of six consecutive races no that's where you get the Southwest egg rolls. All right. You needed my help? I needed your help because there was a rainstorm, a heavy downpour in between races, and I needed to know who was ready for the slop. Yeah. Only some horses really love the slop.

Dylan's didn't. My horse loved the slop. What's your horse's name? Skippity D. Skippity D. Okay. Your horse was famously born in it. Yeah. Just straight up slop right away.

Sloppy Joe would be a good horse name. I like Sloppy Joe. If you were staying at the... Extra sloppy. If you were staying at the Nobu Resort in Cabo San Lucas and you were at the pool around May 7th of this year you famously heard that Dylan was born in the slop yeah yeah also my this is when I

also discovered that weekend when people were overusing had that dog in them same weekend so my horse I was just I was swapping out like born in the slop with has that dog in them same weekend so my horse i was just i was swapping out like born in the slop with has that dog in them over and over again that was that was the weekend where yeah that train meme where they're looking at different sides of the train came out and it was like you know because it was kentucky derby weekend yeah like runs well in the in the slop and then just or has that dog no like the guy that looking outside the caption was like like metrics loser or like analytics guy and then the guy on the other side was got that dog in him so dylan's horse did not have that no i i'm no you didn't win still it's still running dude oh that's not good

that's an old an old racing term. Yeah. You probably wouldn't get it. Yeah. Okay. The rail was dead, Dave. The one got me. Yeah.

Brett was talking a big game about how dumb I was that I chose the horse on the rail, which I didn't know he was on the rail. And then my horse famously beat Brett's horse, by the way. When's the last time the horse on the rail won the derby? I don't think ever. I don't know. I don't know if it's ever been done. Dave does rails, but it's a different kind.

Yeah, a roller blade. Nice. I do front sides. Soap skates? No, just roller blades. K2 fatties. I crossed out the, or added an R in there. I call them K2 fratties.

Nice. That's sick. Hey, before I go, can I issue an apology? Eight horses have won from the rail. Wow. Well, see, the rail at saratoga's dead is what i meant i'm just telling you i'm just saying know your tracks bro yeah the graveyard of champions a good track american pharaoh lost there famously it's a good track after winning

the triple crown it was going for the the grand slam the travers ever heard of it no didn't win i need to issue an apology though on, on this podcast. I'm sorry. To one in particular, Dave Ruff. What? I accused you of having a slow swing speed this morning. Wow. Oh, that's fine. We all heard it.

You didn't have to bring that to the masses, but there we are. If you wanted a regular flex shaft, and I realize in hindsight that is calling Dave a little bitch. So, sorry, Dave. That's fine Dave a little bitch. So, sorry. That's fine. This little bitch is single digit handicap. So, let's go. May not be playing like it, but it's still on there. Damn, dude.

I'm a handicap guy. Check us out. Follow me and Will on the Gin app or whatever. Is that what it's called? Yeah, I don't fucking know. I don't know what I need to do to get down to single digits. I feel like I'm playing good enough golf, and I feel like my handicap's just not doing anything. Somebody hit me up on Twitter like, oh, Will's not a 13.

I'm like, yeah, you're right, because Will's closer to like an 11 or a 10. Did someone really say that? Somebody responded. I don't know if they were saying because I think you're better than that or worse than that, but somebody responded to something. I think I play above a 13 you definitely the last three times i've played with you you definitely did i think people get an idea with like handicap equates to number of strokes above par on average and that's just not

the case no clearly so i'm over it out there what are you gonna you're gonna go out there and like do some swaps some clubs no i'm actually it's uh it's 2022 new deck season we'll just got a new deck my parents uh put a new deck on their house before we moved famously um but no uh powerpoint we had dj we have like one person on the on the live stream and then they start doing their their bit and we swapped bits and we just took it and they do it hopefully they swap he took he took it's a blank play good okay that's fine then i don't feel bad because i was like man every time i say it now i just think of dj like punching air bit swap i think that's where you can trade cryptocurrencies dylan how's your bitcoin doing um i try not to check it too much these days ethereum was up not hot

yeah i'm taking some l's over here diamond hands famously losing money that's tough man hey do you have an ad where you go to so you can transition for me leaving wow dude he's out of here can i make one more point before we do that transition sure we said it'd be a good horse name would be sloppy joe has anybody has biden done anything like like is he like is there gonna be a thing where he eats like a sandwich and like it just falls in his lap or some shit like oh sloppy joe i was trying to workshop a tweet today i won't tweet it because it's political, but with the CHIPS Act and the Inflation Reduction Act passing this week, I was going to say chips and dip somehow.

I'm going to go ahead and tell you don't. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm saying I'm trying to workshop. Talk about your MTG and Lee Corso thing. Yeah, that's going viral today, but I was also not going to tweet that because it's a political take. She just looks like not saying anything.

You're allowed to point out if someone looks like someone if someone looks like lee corso is always fair game yeah okay that's i'll make fun of equally if you want to tear people down by their looks you can do that do it happens just often all right looks like lee corso always has and i thought that from day one and i can't stop laughing at it sorry you're also saying how you like you like what she's doing out there in georgia right she oh no uh she she has a lot of frame do you have any peaches i was trying to yeah that's where i was going i don't know if you think she gets them for your beaches i bet yeah she probably gets them from her home state she'd like to be a president of the united states of america did a lot there there's levels that's the thing with this pod

folks a lot you're gonna miss stuff if you blink or plug your ears for some reason that which is for me you see uh like that yeah that's pretty good i was gonna tangent hey i'll just get out of here last thing you would be the guy to know is lee corso is he's is he gonna be on game day or is he done i feel like you just it's kind of like christmas every year you don't you don't know. Is Lee Corso, is he going to be on game day or is he done? I feel like you just, it's kind of like Christmas every year. You don't know what you're going to get. He might just wander on set.

He's been done for four years. They keep dragging him back out. Yeah, he might just have muscle memory and just start like walking around the set at this point. He's teetering with like bag of bones territory. He shoots somebody a tetra.

Teetering is a nice way to put it. He's an old man. He didn't read Brett's longevity book. He's an old bag of bones. That's a great book. Did you finish it? I heard he wasn't standing up enough. Like 30 pages long. I need to finish it. I'll bring it to him. I way to put it. He's an old man. He didn't read Brett's longevity book. He's an old bag of balls. That's a great book. Did you finish it? I heard he wasn't standing up enough.

Like 30 pages long. I need to finish it. I'll bring it to him. I want to read it. I will. That's all right. I will. Who is...

Isn't it Herbstreet? Isn't he doing Al Michaels' Amazon stuff? Isn't it Herbstreet and Michaels this year? Yeah. Be careful with this Amazon stuff, everybody. Don't... You don't want to get... We don't want Amazon getting all the rights to this shit.

At all. If I'm a Prime member... They're Thursday Night Football. Not going to matter. You're eventually... Just mark my words. You're eventually going to be paying $20 for a Prime time game. In addition to the $100 and whatever I pay every year that sneaks up on me every year for Amazon Prime.

I'm like, oh, fuck. That's the best deal in the world. $127? Yeah, it's a good deal. But you will be paying for games. Not'm like, oh, fuck. That's the best deal in the world. 127 bucks? Yeah, it's a good deal. But you will be paying for games. Not this season necessarily. Maybe not next season, but season after that.

We'll be paying for games. I think Will hates Peacock as much as I do. I was going to say, this is all coming from a place of anger at a certain soccer situation. Well, no. Amazon is currently on an agenda

to ruin watching soccer in the UK. Oh. As someone who, I mean, this was three years ago. I tried to go to a pub to watch a game when Sally was going down for a nap. And I went in and they said, no, it's on Amazon. We can't get it. Ooh. And that seemed to be a very regular occurrence, unfortunately.

Wow, it's a pub play. Wow, it's a pub play. You guys can't see it because there's no video, but the boys are just cackling off mic. Muted their mics. I had to mute our mics. We were laughing too hard. It was too late. We were blowing the mics out.

Oh, man, I'm out of breath from laughing so hard. Man, Dylan, you're headed on vacation next week, right? Yeah, it's sneaking up on me, man. Kind of low-key sneaking up something tells me that you're gonna need to like i don't know maybe pack some nice clothing for maybe a date night i would like to look nice while i'm out on my vacation yeah what have i told you they will expect me to look nice what if i told you that i had a a company that makes a button-down shirt that you can fold up, put it in your suitcase,

press that thing down, and you can take it right out of your suitcase, and it's barely going to have any wrinkles on it, if any at all. First, I would tell you that I'd be quite interested in something like that. Second, I would ask you, are you talking about Mizzen and Main? Yeah, that's why you got to go check out Mizzen and Main, the inventors of the performance fabric dress shirt. If you're wondering what makes Mizzen and Main unique, they combine the comfort and flexibility of your favorite athletic wear

with the fit and style of a custom dress shirt. Lightweight, breathable, and moisture-wicking, Mizzen and Main's clothing will have you looking great. You can skip the dry cleaner because guess what? The best part about these things, in my opinion, is that they're machine washable. I hate going to the dry cleaner paying $2 a shirt. You kidding me?

Crazy. Hey, dry cleaner. Bye- a shirt you kidding me crazy hey dry cleaner bye-bye later these things are awesome uh i i famously wear them uh anytime i go on vacation because it's just necessary it's easy and that's what i like they also have just great prints like they they just look good their pants kind of go dummy hard too by the way dummy hard don't be hard complimented on the joggers often. Not by me. No.

Low key? Low key? I got a QZ from them? Low key? A low key QZ? I like it. I like it a lot. Okay, that's great.

Yeah. With work from wherever being the new normal, or is it, based on our next segment. I love that Mizzen and Main fits whatever my work situation will be in 2022. Did you know that it's their 10th anniversary in July? Let's all celebrate. These guys are over 10 years old now. That's exciting for them. Wow.

I'm thankful for Mizzen and Main. They've made my life a lot easier, especially on vacation when vacation wheels just spread in his wings. Mizzen and Main, they just turned 10, so they've got some great deals running on their site all summer long. Right now, if you go to mizzenandmain.com, use promo code CIRCLING, you'll receive $35 off any regular price order of $125 or more. That's $35 off, and you go to m-i-z-z-e-n-a-m-d-m-a-i-n.com and use our promo code CIRCLING. Hey, Dave. Yes? My name's Bill Simmons.

Okay. What's up, man? We're going to welcome someone on the program right now. It's my good friend, probably the smartest guy you know, Malcolm Gladwell. Okay, well, I don't have a Gladwell impression. Who is this dork? Hey, guys. Gladwell?

You never read Outliers, dude? Everyone's read the first chapter of Outliers. I feel like that's a hole in your resume. I feel like you should at least know of Malcolm Gladwell. Yeah, if you're going to be a smug intellectual grammar guy, you should definitely know who Malcolm Gladwell is. That's a good point. So who is he?

He is an author, famously of Outliers, a book about people who lie out. I think it's about sun damage or something. Yeah, I don't think that's accurate at all. He's an intellectual type. Definitely fancies himself an intellectual type. He's a noted keynote speaker of the Harbor Springs Book Festival. Wow.

Okay. That's at the top of his resume. Let me ask you this, Will. What's the budget? Because I was doing some preparation for this segment, and I noticed that his speaking fee is like 100K a pop, at least. So from what I've been told, and I'm not going to name any names here, but from what I've

been told, somebody in the community donated a significant amount of money to the Harbor Springs Book Festival, and they used that money to just get Malcolm Gladwell, which seems a little unnecessary. A benefactor, if you will. Yeah. That's my benefactor voice. Apparently, they gave mid six figures to the Harbor Springs Book Festival, which I'm not trying to...

There's nothing mid about six figures, bud. I should be standing the book festival, but I do think it's maybe a little unnecessary to drop six figs on Malcolm Gladwell for it. Wait, so this is more than just like the scholastic book fair they're not rolling in like a shelf of rl stein books you have malcolm gladwell just checking you out on an ipad like thank you for coming in there's like funny pencil holders you can get do you remember those do you remember those pencils that were all wild? Yeah. What were those called? Wild pencils from the 90s.

Pen 15s or something. Yikes. Pencils. Remember yikes? They're not called pen 15s. Dylan probably tried to beat up the kids that had yikes. I did. You were like, dog, dude. I would pencil break with anybody.

No matter what kind of pencil they rolled up with. Remember Trapper Keepers? Yeah. So dope. If you didn't have one, you weren't allowed to. I once, this is kind of still lore around the intermediate school but i i did once uh beat a mechanical pencil with a number two pencil and pencil break people don't know how i did it and i don't honestly damn just natural ability can you explain that boy shit i

obviously know what pencil break is because i had friends when I was younger, but what was pencil break? For those that don't know. Wow, dude. You got one, two people. See where I'm going with this? I'm following you. Each has a pencil. An actual pencil.

Okay. And one holds it like this. Okay. And the other has to- Flick it. Flick it. And hold onto it and not break it, which is easy to do. And you do it until somebody's pencil breaks.

There it is. How did they come up with the name? Great question, man. Still trying to figure that one out, man. They had to rebrand a few times. This dude beat a mechanical pencil. I didn't know we had a savage on the mic. Damn.

Hey, what's up? Sloppy Dave. dave that's like tearing the cover off the ball yeah you know same and i did it now i was my sock was like bloody because i had scraped my knee at recess so it's like they were calling it my bloody sock game that's quite a day it's a bloody it's bloody sock he's my bloody sock game that's quite a day it's a bloody sock he's a bloody sock no i was pretty nice with it okay anyway malcolm gladwell did famously did not play pencil break and it shows well insider insider not inside her d Dylan, noted that Malcolm Gladwell said on a podcast that it's not in people's, quote, best interest to work from home. Gladwell said he's, quote, frustrated with the inability of leaders to explain that to employees. He said he starts his days on his laptop from the sofa and writes in coffee shops for a living.

I think that might be a little slight of him in this thing. He said if you're sitting in your pajamas in your bedroom, is that the work life you want to live? We want to have you have a feeling of belonging and to feel necessary. And if you're not here, it's really hard to do that. He's changed his tune on this. Okay. Because in the past, he's completely had, you know, like I think most people now, it's like, why can't we work from home? Why are you going to be doing this from home?

Save us all a lot of time and money. It's not good to be in a car for a commute. I like a commute. I don't like a too long commute. But I like a little 20 minutes of just kind of doing it. You have a nine minute drive. Yeah, but when I would do like 20 to work and then do 45 home in traffic, I didn't love the 45 home, but I did enjoy the time that I had in the morning to listen to a podcast or relax to some music in the car.

Dude, it's so bad to be in a car that long. Our perception of working from an office is totally skewed. Correct. We are not the norm. Correct. We don't put on a tie. We don't go sit in a cubicle and listen to some jackass talk about his kid's dance recital, shit like that.

No, instead we- We're not that far from it. Instead we are sitting in a cubicle with a dude wearing an American flag tank top next to us telling us the internet's dead today so we don't need to work. We have a pretty chill situation. Yeah. You know what I mean? We hang out with our friends and we fucking make coffee and just bullshit with each other other it's pretty tight what friends are we hanging out with i don't have i

didn't invite any friends i'm your friend oh you're talking about us oh dude for sure so i i can't relate to did you never work an actual in an office i mean i grant grant x was an office but no he was just no but he was just selling cell phones to dudes who worked in offices x was not a typical office either no no no but it was like there was a cubicle bullpen situation that was fun though because it was just like not not a traditional work environment you know sure i do think there is a little something to what he's saying though i mean i don't think i think if you were just to work at home every day you would feel kind of like um not a part of like the bigger picture a little bit you know i just feel like there is like a camaraderie angle and like a feeling of purpose for being in an office environment other people are working towards something i was not prepared

during the two weeks where we were transitioning offices two weeks was it two how long was it like three months it feels dude it turned into it was supposed to be two weeks it turned into over a month we recorded from brad key's house the pool house right yeah yeah during that time i was not prepared because i was like didn't know what to do with myself. It was, I felt really just uncomfortable. We would record and then go back to the house and work, but it just never, I never got in a groove. I had shitty Google Fiber and got kicked off every meeting to the point where I stopped going to meetings. We didn't have, I didn't have to go to that many, but I just altogether stopped even going into meetings because it was pointless. I would get kicked off every single time,

reenter, make a noise, and it would announce it out. It was just annoying for everybody. Yeah. I think if I had the option, if I didn't work in a job where being in the office is more fun than not being in the office, I would like to have the option

to just work from home full time. But I think that you do lose something in terms of teamwork when you're not actually meeting those people and being around them. I think I you do lose something in terms of teamwork when you're not actually meeting those people and being around them. I think I would like to have a situation where I was at least in the same city as this team. So if we needed to go do something, we could go like, do it. We could have work happy hours. We could do whatever. But I don't want to go in. I still don't want to go in ever. I never want to work in a traditional office setting ever.

I don't either. But I think there's a healthy balance somewhere. A lot of companies will give you the option, work from home or come into the office. I think if I worked for a company that gave me the option, I would probably go in twice a week just to get out of the house and feel like I'm... I don't know. I think you can also be more productive that way. But working from home is also very, very sick. Yeah, but I hate working from home now also very very sick yeah but i hate working from home now because i don't have a dedicated place to work from that is key like i don't want to work i know a lot of people just will sit on their couch and pop open their laptop but like that's not an option for me because it just i feel like it's like my it's bad for your posture it's bad

for your back i'm old and my back hurts And it's like crunched over on a laptop. So I don't have an office currently. I turn it into a man cave. You can only watch Drew Carey on Price is Right so many times before you start questioning like whether or not you're actually living life. God, what a great show. Fantastic show. The 70s vibes are throwing me off more and more.

I hate the 70s, man. Dude, the Showcase Showdown drops, and it's like, I'm just glued, man. They don't even give away dope shit anymore. Yeah, they do. No, they don't. $1, Drew. They do like a Kia and a little like, they'll do a trip to Delaware, which is probably sick. I feel like they've done different.

And a new grill. It's like, all right, sign me up, bitch. You get new teeth. Veneers. Yeah. They gave away veneers? He's saying grill. Oh, okay.

It was a bad joke. One afternoon with Paul Wall. That'd be tight. What if they gave away cameos? Like, you get a Paul Wall cameo? No. I would pay for a paul like a 30 value i mean that was a fun time when we were just getting cameos for each other and just

what when dylan gave my phone number to the dude at cameo and he wouldn't stop texting me about being on their network dude i was like dude we do this shit for free i felt left out of that that guy never contacted me oh you never he knew you mean he never like directly texted you and said hey will got your contact. He's probably listening. He's probably from your coworker, Dylan. He's probably listening. What's your problem?

You're welcome. Don't get my phone number out. You're welcome, dog. I hate having my phone number out there. Dave's the give your phone number out guy. Dude, it's out, dog. Not anymore. I got sort of getting...

The only listeners that have my phone number currently, I think, are my dudes, our naval guys. Dave would be at meetups me dave would be at meetups being like all right is everyone gathered around all right my phone number is 512 i did not and it's not it no yeah it's definitely a 512 number is it no no yes maybe keep them guessing we would know i would nevero, just a different discussion. But I feel like people, the people like us enough to want us to do that. It's like, I'm not going to make them pay for a fucking video. No, you clearly support us enough as it is.

Say some stupid shit into a camera like, hey man, just want to wish your girlfriend Sarah a happy birthday. Nobody's doing that. Insert bit here. Like that, I'm i'm not gonna i can't charge you for that now if you want if you want a foot pick i'm charging you for that and half what no one's paying for your shit no my feet are tight you feared i've been exfoliating dude my hands were hella dry last night i think it's all the golf I've been exfoliating. Dude, my hands were hella dry last night. I think it's all the golf I've been playing. I'm offended.

I need whoever slid into your DMs about my handicap to clarify something. Hold on. Were you asking him to clarify? No, it was a response to a tweet. I'm surprised you didn't see it. Said that he didn't think I was a 13. I didn't even know if he thinks I'm worse or better. I have a good swing.

That's not braggadocious. I have a good swing. I'm putting this guy on front street. Hang on. Damn, fool. You can't question another man's handicap. There's literally a system of keeping track of this, and I have done it.

Drag this man. He hit you with the Jimmy Butler gif. Okay, yeah. I think I can take... I responded. Yeah, it's the... Yeah, it's a good one. No one can see what I'm doing, but it's a great one. that no one can see what i'm doing but it's a

great sure people can imagine though i want to know what about my what personality trait led this guy to talking shit you were nice with it the other day i know i know god those drives i was hitting are you serious yeah for those first six holes man are you serious? It's already time? For what? I'm looking at the catalytic converter theft ring people, and they've all got shittiest haircuts. Yeah, those aren't good haircuts.

Sounds like they're not going to be having very much fun this weekend. How mad would you be if you walked out to go to work on your nine minute commute and your catalytic converter has been stolen? Bye. Somebody stole Alyssa's dad's truck bed. Where did this happen, Dave? Houston.

Okay. What? Okay, sorry. We prematurely did this weekend in fun. I'm glad you brought this up. I'm sorry. No, someone actually submitted

two Sunday Scaries the other day that they walked out to go to work and they couldn't start their car because their catalytic converter was gone that's so shitty so i have a direct one these things people who want to convert the shitty haircut boys it's they their haircuts are amazing what does that thing do what does it convert the catalyst catalytica what does it do

what what does it do? What does it do on your engine? Look over at the two of us right now. Do you think you're going to get the right answer? I know better than you guys do. I don't know shit. I mean, you know, some people say it changes the harmful compounds from an engine's emissions into safe gases like steam. Oh, so it's important.

Yeah, it is. Now we got a bunch of people out there with their emissions. Carbon footprint. You hear about Taylor Swift? We've heard about your nocturnal emissions. Oh, because I pass gas when I sleep? Yeah, that's what I was talking about. I probably do.

I don't know. Anything else? You ever have any dreams? You ever pee-pee in your sleep? Why are you doing this? Sure. Just kidding, dog. Dude, I think it's more common than you think.

I might have played a little bit game of wet spot last night. I'm not proud of it. No one's calling it a game of wet spot. You guys familiar with wet spot? I am now. No. I've told you about wet spot. I've got to cramp up my pants. Wet spot's a game that my buddy played in England where you would pee into your jeans

and the person who had the smallest wet spot wins. It's the worst game of all time. That's so dumb. You pee. Of all time. You have to cut it off and the person with the smallest wet spot on their jeans wins. Everyone just goes home and changes their pants after this game? What's the deal?

You can let it dry out. Dude, there's a lot of smells that happen in bars. People aren't going to notice if you have a little wet spot on your pants. You play in a bar? You could play it before going out, I guess. You're just drinking pints with the lads pissing your pants, dude. Will, please tell me you didn't play this game. I've never played wet spot. I mean, I kind of played it last night in bed when I had a dream that I had to pee really bad, but like...

Would you play before golf tomorrow? That's fine. I'll be wearing performance throwback shorts tomorrow. I don't want to do that. Backer 20. I don't know if they'll be here in time. Come on. I'd be sick if they were. I need these rowback shorts. Backer 20. Hey, it's time for this weekend and fun. Tomorrow, as Dylan just said, we will be taking off the afternoon. We're going to be going out to Lions Municipal Golf Course in the beautiful Austin, Texas area, where we will be playing 18 holes of golf with the boys. We're going to be going out to Lions Municipal Golf Course in the beautiful Austin, Texas area where we'll be playing 18 holes of golf with the boys. And guess what? It's going to be an absolute

Hey, maybe provide us with water coolers on the course. If you don't want us to bring our shit out there. It's going to be like low-key, not super hot tomorrow

What if I put out this feeler? What if we decide to go to the Verde game on Saturday night where they play Sporting Kansas City? Could be fun. Is that a big game? Probably not. Could be fun. The season's longer than I thought it would be.

They last a long time. They're really good. Are they still really good? Second best record in the league. Well, I don't know if that's still true. They did tie last weekend, so it's going to be, who knows. But, yeah, they're doing well. Happy with Austin FC. My weekend starts tonight. I'm going out for a boys dinner tonight.

We drunkenly planned this last Saturday. And yeah, we're doing it tonight. So my weekend's starting a little bit early.

They can't register any of their new players because they're so in debt. Yeah, it's tough.

I kind of want to go step out on Saturday afternoon and sneak in a little golf action. This guy. Saturday? Addicted. I might go out this afternoon. Who cares? Fuck it. Should we just golf every day instead of record podcasts?

Yeah. I'd be fine with that. We should take summers off like teachers. Why are teachers the only people that take summers off? Why can't podcasters do it? What if we just made that the norm? a podcast we probably lose some of our audience pay our bills man yeah that too and get paid teachers we have employees and stuff teachers have bills that is true often have to pay for their own supplies don't get high on it. Definitely don't. Should we get out of here?

Yeah, probably. It's been fun. Bye. you
