all right we are back it's the circling back podcast my name is dave filling in for hosting duties uh will defrees up in Michigan, putting on an Instagram clinic. I don't know if you've checked out his stories, but you'll be shocked to learn that they're aesthetically pleasing. Up around Harbor Springs way, I believe. He's in Harbor Springs, correct. Okay. That's where he's from. The man can take a photograph.

Photo game stupid. Yeah, it's true. That voice you just heard, it dylan shivery hey everyone happy to be here um i'm the proud new owner of a one-of-one arch manning signed trading card by the way congratulations on that that pick up by the way didn't set me back too much six figs parks can't go to college anymore but i have a card he's got generational wealth potentially you gotta think that thing might double in value or it could go down but we'll see if you had a bet right now what do you think it'll do probably go down

and that's not based on how he performs on the field it's just you know it's a trading card hey man i'm i feel like i'm getting a little overwhelmed we got a heavy longhorn contingency today here on the show uh i'm sorry i won't do that voice again it's barrett dudley retail therapy zone what's going on oysters clams and cockles own yeah what else you doing oh you know a little nine to five at howler brothers and um just putting in work on the potties the some might say the hardest working man in podcasting. This guy. Wow.

But no, we are feeling bullish on the Longhorns this year. Yeah. Yeah. I think there's going to be a good season. I'm drinking the Kool-Aid again. 10 wins, you think? I'm totally within reach. It's possible.

Within reach. It's possible. You guys aren't going to believe this, but I have them winning the Big 12 this year. Really? Yeah. It's my way too early. It's really not that early. Preseason ranking.

Barrett, man, thanks for coming in. Of course, I'm happy to be here. Happy to be filling in for the photography man himself. It's really like, if you're blessed to be in the presence of of will on a trip like you just you just know that that he's gonna get a sick photo of you well he gets sick photos of dave all the time and it's i was about to say honestly one of the best feelings you haven't become one of his muses his camera loves dave one of the best feelings you can have

when you're out with will is just looking up or like out of the corner of your eyes seeing him holding his phone up yeah uh-huh and like not looking right like not letting him know although he can probably tell that you're aware but just not you know just acting cool playing it cool getting that candid right it's a good feeling because you know wish i wish i had that feeling well dylan here's the problem every time someone takes a photo of you you like have to run it up like three levels of clearance. No, that's not true. If he took a dope picture of me, I would be like, let's fucking go.

And I would take it and I would post it. I would give him credit for it. He just doesn't do it. You're too high maintenance, man. It's okay. No, the camera loves Dave. I think what we're learning, Dave's just Will's muse here. That's okay.

I'm everybody's favorite, including Will's muse here, you know? That's okay. I'm everybody's favorite. Right. Including Will's camera. That's true. Hey, if you think this content's hilarious, you're going to love what's beyond the paywall. Patreon. We do an episode every Tuesday and every Friday? Thursday, really.

You're killing it right now. Go to YouTube. You can watch this show at youtube.com slash circling back. I think this show at youtube.com circling back i think this show is a visual show i i think to get the full circling back effect you have to watch it and i'm not just saying that because i'm a handsome guy and dylan's a hot guy and barrett's a hot guy sex sells we all know that it's been it's been proved over decades of research millennia some would say yeah yeah um so yeah sex sells and we are all very good looking

so yeah there you go there i like the uh i like the length and the amount of root showing in the hair yeah it's i think it's perfect right now it's at a decent spot um it's a tough it's a tough game to be playing though you know because like i got into a bind a few weeks ago where i i kind of thought i was gonna you know had to do this had to do this photo shoot with Laura, a little engagement sesh. And I had to re-dye the hair because it was either going to be like super boy bandy and like frosted tips or I was going to have to get a buzz cut. And I don't know what this dome looks like with only one centimeter or less of hair. And so I had to re-dye it, and now I'm in the phasing out process again.

We're on the way back to natural. Okay. Yeah. Really? Yeah. All right. Yeah. Very cool.

I watched the new Gemstones last night on it oh i need to had myself a laugh or two okay phenomenal early bird is in austin we'd like to um let everybody know that we support

Which I'll get into this weekend. Who had the bet bet who had the more dope week? Let's let Barrett start. Let's let Barrett start. Uh, well y'all y'all have caught me returning from a weekend away. So I, I, I had quite a bit to do. Uh, I was down in Houston, my hometown where I got to say first, I just want to say a lot of people, they talk about the humidity in Houston. Houston was about 10 times more comfortable than Austin. Really? you know he was on the coast recently it was like high of 87 i was in port aransas the high every day it was sunny and 87 degrees yeah humid of course because you're on the coast yes but that like that 10 degree difference like houston was getting like 95 97 and we're we're hitting 105 on the reg here that it made a world of difference.

Um, and so it was like, honestly, kind of pleasant to be, to be down there. Um, but yeah, I, I saw, I saw family. I saw friends went to an Astros game. Watchers beat the absolute breaks off the Tampa Bay devil rays. Hmm. 17 runs. Right. I think so.

Um, What else? I went to a great little restaurant called the Annie Cafe and Bar and then hit their little, like not their speakeasy, that was too hard to get into, but their little downstairs kind of lounge called Turner's. You know, I'm all about two location evenings these days. Yeah, that's Barry's thing. Yeah. So it was really nice to like have a nice dinner and then get a little white Negroni nightcap down there what's this thing going to location evenings that's your thing yeah okay that's great this guy devils down on locations yeah i mean that's that's probably a pretty normal situation on most nights out but i've never been like we got to hit two spots and then then we're going to call it what's in the white negroni the white negroni yeah that's uh

so you you keep your you keep your gin base that you do in a Negroni, but then the Campari and the Red Vermouth are swapped out for Lillip Blanc and a liqueur called Suze or Suzy, S-U-Z-E. It's a similar gin forward, slightly bitter cocktail, but it's just way cut from a classic Negroni, which is super strong and bitter tasting. Okay. And so it's very, very enjoyable. Are you capping yourself at two? Are you doubling down? I will have two, but that's about it. The preferred gin, if you were going and you're doing your own setup, the recommended gin for a classic white Negroni is Nolitz, which is 90 proof. So it's a little bit stronger than classic, than your run-of-the-mill vodka or gin.

Yeah. And you're making them at home. You probably go two ounces instead of one and a half. Oh. And that's a home white Negroni is just one for me. me barrett i like to challenge you to try that in a small town i would never say no no you can't yeah it sounds delightful i think when we were at sammy's uh will dylan and i didn't will order one and it was kind of up in the air whether the bartender was going to know how to make because these guys the waiter was like i've never heard of that do you know what's in it and we're like

we don't know what's in it we're gonna need you to to to go uh pull up the internets he was out of one of the ingredients or they just didn't carry it or that's right that's right so we they talked will through like a replacement basically and he said it was still good do you ever clarify your uh beverages when you make them do i clarify them yeah no no i mean sometimes uh hyper to can't but never never have i been clarifying dylan what about you i don't even know what the hell that means david oh my god randy i can't believe they don't clarify their drinks it's so hilarious margarita for me one time oh yeah i'm to start over?

You don't put milk in your cocktails? No, I've not. No, I've not gone down that road. Do you want to tell me a little bit about it? That's about all I can tell you. Yeah, okay. It's just milk. Sounds awesome.

Something Will brought up last week. It sounds really good. Let's see. And then I made it back to Austin yesterdayin yesterday and i uh i popped in saw oppie saw a little oppenheimer to come to complete my barbin and my hymer oh okay yeah yeah yeah so i've officially rounded out the duo and i've i've seen both and you know i feel like i can check that box now off of summer 2023 okay um i'm with barrett dudley let's say we're going to a movie yeah yeah we're gonna order some food maybe a beverage what what's barrett dudley order okay

well okay all right so i don't know if you know this but it's been extremely difficult to get a ticket to to oppenheimer and to barbie around these parts i just sent front front row oppenheimer and to Barbie around these parts. I just sent front row Oppenheimer last night. You went front row? That was my only option. How was that? Shut up. I swear. I looked at all times for like two days straight. Yes, it was insane.

Only front rows available. I just am thinking of the meme. I always wonder who, like I see those front rows and I'm just like, I always wonder who buys the front rows. A couple couple points in the movie i had to like stretch the neck out a little bit because it was getting a little stiff yeah it wasn't bad though it didn't take away from my movie watching experience okay well so i ended up at i like to i like to see movies at the the alamo draft house where i'm getting a pizza and a beer that's right that's where i went a guy's guy but uh but but because of this this uh this difficulty in proc tickets, we had to go to a more standard movie

theater. Oh. And I was a little tired. So I got my popcorn. And I'm not a soda guy. But I needed a little juice because I knew this was a very talky, three-hour, you know, biopic-style movie. Yes.

So I got myself a little Mountain dew to go with the the popcorn holy shit yeah how many people are out there doing mountain dew at oppenheim how'd that treat you it's as good as you remember i'm not one in so yes so i'm not i like i don't drink soda i've probably had three sodas over the last decade it's a lot of sugar it's yeah you'd be surprised that barrett doesn't drink a lot of sugary drinks it looks like he drinks all kinds of yeah this guy's in terrible shape a lot of body fat these days and uh you know every once in a while like i'll go through a drive-thru and like you know getting a fast food or something and i'll okay like give me the dr pepper i get like two sips through it it's just it's too much it's too sugary it's too sweet

this mountain dew was hitting different last night like this it was it was so good this guy did the dew and i i drank probably like a quarter of it you know like like just barely scratched the surface of this giant ordered a size small and i'm pretty sure it was like 32 ounces did you did you skateboard home well you know i had the i i had the bmx bike in the in the back so the back, so I let Laura drive the car home, and I was doing handlebar spins all the way back. Sick, sick. It was pretty extreme. Man, I haven't had a Mountain Dew in a long, long time. I'm not against it.

I'm not judging you. It's just not what I expected. I thought you were going to tell me before the show some cool beer that you ordered. Yeah, no, no. I was a little, After my Houston weekend, I was a little bit hungover. Were you with the high school buddies? On Saturday night,

I was with one of my high school buddies. Yeah, we did the Strohs game. Nymphas on navigation before that. There were some margaritas involved. Nice. Some big, some brewski beers at the ball game. One thing I've learned about Nfas, or ninfas,

big in Houston, when there was one in San Marcos, we didn't think it was that great. But I know, I feel like they're better in Houston. Is that fair to say? Well, how deep do you want to go on Houston Tex-Mex here, Dave? Give me your top three. Here's what I'll say. I'm sure everybody's familiar with El Tiempo. It's kind of been the reigning champ in Houston for quite some time. Fantastic heaters.

Yeah. The original Nymphas, the one on navigation, I think it's even titled. If you put it into your Uber, it's like Nymphas on navigation. El spun out of that nymphas like el tiempo are the the the people that run it the people that started it are like descendants or were tied to the original nymphas and much like el tiempo has really been expanding and there's like six or seven locations in houston now that's what nymphas before it tried to do as well. And so the, the spinoffs and like the, the, the satellite outposts of ninfas have never been considered as highly as the original ninfas on navigation. Ain't nothing like the real thing, Dylan.

So that, that ninfas on navigation is like a cut above the kind of the, the other ninfas, which are almost like viewed as like, um, like a mini chain. Okay. Very good to know Dylan. You as a mini-chain. Okay. Very good to know. Dylan, you had a weekend, huh? Yeah.

Stepped out Friday night with you guys, actually. Our friend, Dr. Mark was in town. Plus. Plus, Dr. Mark was in town. And when he's in town, you guys step out with the boys. So we did. We met him for a few drinks. Had a great time. He's he's in town, you guys step out with the boys. So we did. We met him for a few drinks. Had a great time.

He's the one who got us into Galatoire, Micah's bachelor party. He's our Galatoire's plug. Micah's bachelor party that we famously ate a pig head, and I got COVID from a yoga instructor. Great dude. Met his wife. Lovely. Brought his – Nice family.

Yeah. Just brought some family – yeah, just a great dude. Anyway, that was funought his... Nice family. Yeah, just brought some family members. Yeah, just a great dude. Anyway, that was fun. Saturday, not much. Didn't do much. Yesterday, I saw Oppenheimer, front row. Shout out front row.

Front row gang. What was your order? I got a carnivore pizza. Honestly, really good. Their pizzas are really good. They have a pizza on the menu that's Brussels sprouts, bacon, and goat cheese, and it's one of my favorite pizzas in the city.

They can make a Zadeh. Yeah. I believe you. I had a couple beers. So there's a, right next to the Alamo Draft House is that bar, Highball, the one right here. Yeah.

Cool bar, man. I had a couple of beers in there before I went in the movie. Is that what you posted a photo from? I did i did yeah we were trying to figure that out of my household highball yeah from there just walked into the movie theater so it was a great little uh pre-game what did uh what did uh parks think of oppenheimer is he grasping quantum physics yet he wants to get into it yeah that's his new career path yeah he really liked like just like the the moral

gray areas that the film explored and questioning of what you know what what it means to like get into a nuclear arms race he wants to be a communist now though yeah so that's yeah that's the danger yeah right so he learned a little bit about communism he's really buying into it i could talk to him yeah okay yeah and uh that was it it. It was a nice weekend. He's at school today, just like with like the facet flyers, handing them around at school. Yeah. He's trying to recruit new members. Oh man. The red scare goes to middle school. Love it. How about Davey though?

Yeah. So Friday night, I kind of try to avoid West Sixth a little bit. It's officially, I officially feel like I've been aged out, and I have for a while. But on occasion, I will step out for either a little wood rose, potentially to go watch games or a fight, or if Dr. Mark's in town, we'll go to Rustic Tap. That's where we went. Good bar. Very crowded. Shockingly loud for an outdoor bar. Good bar. Very crowded.

Shockingly loud for an outdoor bar. Good bartenders. I will say, it is so fun sitting there watching what the 22 to 28 demographic is wearing. Mainly the dudes. So I'm basically checking out all the dudes because i'm like what's what's what's the what's the vibe these days i was very excited to see uh three or four uh what i would dub what we dub traditional frat guys like from our era they were frat stars like uh just you know game day polos um kind of had like the um i don't know the hair they were kind of doing the borderline mullet thing,

but it was, you know, and I was like, you know, I'm glad that there's kids still wearing short khaki shorts. Do we think that the broccoli hair is, like, pretty limited to high school? Is that, like, the high school cut? I think it's infiltrated. I see it in college students, too. Okay.

But I think it's mostly high school. What's your take on that hair? You're a guy who takes this shit seriously. Yeah, yeah. I think it's obnoxious yeah and we we're look there's just no getting away from the fact that you get old and then you think what the young people are doing is stupid right so so i i think it's stupid uh it's so stupid and i was i did i was doing a little shopping at the galleria on saturday and like there were just i mean it is just like swarming with crews of like 16 year

olds. You know what I mean? That's how, so Lifetime South where Dave and I work out, it's, they're everywhere. I mean, they take over the gym. And, and, and I listened to some, some kids, I just eavesdropping on them. They were cruising through the Louis Vuitton store, you know, looking, looking, looking tight, looking cool. Uh, and I, I started eavesdropping on their conversation cause I had to and they they i mean these kids are like you know pimple face like they look like they're 14 they're probably 16 but whatever and they were just like yeah man and he said his girl was bad but she wasn't even bad like that and i was just like you know oh my god face palming was she bad i i don't know if she was bad

but but he was clearly offended that that somebody would say she was bad when she wasn't bad oh yeah you can't just throw around bad they say they say bro every bro is every word every sentence is bro i'm on broski now bro purely a broski guy oh i i walked by one of them at the gym the other day on the way to get some water and one of them just said, dude, bro, cutting is hell. Ask Randy, he'll tell you. Cutting is hell, bro. It is hell.

It's a little late in the game to be, in the summer to be cutting, but you can always cut. That's fine. So no, I'm out on the broccoli hair. Okay, good. Me too, for that. But what are you going to do?

You got to let your kids do what they, when it comes to their personal appearance? If they want the broccoli hair, you got to let them do the broccoli hair. I don't know, man. I don't know. You can't just keep them in a crew cut the whole, the all day. You're right.

If Parks wants to do some dumb shit that all his buddies are doing, I'm not going to stop him. Right, exactly. I'm going to make fun of him. Yeah. Yes. My son will have a chili bowl until he's 18.

Just a classic chili bowl. I like it. Just like his father before him. Just like, yes, his father before him. Just like, yes, he is my son. Uh, Saturday, we had a pool day.

It's a lifetime pool. And boy, were we out there for a long, long time. And, uh, probably should have put on a second, uh,

layer of sunscreen shoulders, a little red, but it's a great scene. Rhodes loved it. That's my son um need to take advantage of that more it's a it's a good pool um actually pretty decent food there too yeah now are you just locked in on dad mode when you're when you're at the pool with the yeah with the boy you got no choice yeah So just, you're fully engaged. There's no,

exactly. You're not getting any phone time. You're not, no, you're not reading a book. No, no, no.

We are in the water unless he wants a pop school or fruit snacks. And we go back over under the umbrella. Um, no, it's, it's, he's got the, uh,

the little puddle jumpers, a little floaties, the front floaties that, so now I can, I don't have to hold him the entire time, but we're doing, um, we're going to the little mushroom waterfall going in and out of that. That's a big player. He thinks it's hilarious to go under it, which it kind of is. Um, but yeah, man, it's, it's a blast, but it's, it's a, it's a funny mix. Cause you see, there's a lot of, you see a lot of people out there that are, um,

there's a lot of, you see a lot of people out there that are, um, not with kids. So it's a good blend. Um, but we were out there forever, got home, did something I haven't done in a long, long time. The entire family took a nap, uh, a late in the day nap, a two 30 nap and woke up at five complete. Yeah. We were all just out, man. I have not taken a two plus hour nap since like i've been since like covid or the flu or something like i normally don't nap that long if i ever nap it's a dangerous it's a dangerous nap but it worked out well for me because i had a night saturday night of uh combat sports ufc 291 uh bud crawford er Earl Spence. So I just sat at home and watched those. Was up fairly late. Didn't get to bed till 1.

Was definitely feeling it yesterday. Hung out yesterday. Didn't do much. All in all, I think a really good weekend. I'd like to get your thoughts before we move on on Oppenheimer while we're here, since we've all seen it now. Expectations were sky high just from what i've seen online talked to a couple friends said it's really really good i liked it i didn't love it i wanted i wanted less like communist talk

less about his i wanted more bomb shit i mean not just like i don't talk about like he'd make fun of me like i'm a michael bay fan. I'm not, that's not what I mean. I want to know more about the development of the bomb and less about his life during that time. Like the whole drop-

The namesake of the movie. The dropping the bombs on Japan, it was almost a footnote. And that's obviously was a major development. He's a complicated man. Pearl Harbor was mentioned

like one time. I don't know. I feel like I was expecting a little different approach to the movie. Sure. The musical score, there was never a pause. There may have been one for three minutes in the movie. It was just nonstop building. Obviously, it's a very seriously toned

film but um i don't know i really liked it and i will probably see it again and and reassess after that how many times did you guys pp once zero times for me really yeah you fucking went mountain dew and zero pp yeah yeah i was told that once once the How many times did you pee, Dave? Just once. Just once. Okay. I also was – I drank a Lone Star. I got a tip that the time to do it was soon after the big explosion.

Okay. There was a little bit of a lull in the storyline there, and that was a good time to go to the restroom. Yeah. Usually after you pee after a big explosion like that, you get the snake spray. Right. Yeah.

Barrett, what were your thoughts on the movie? I do tend to agree with Dylan a little bit that I think my expectations may have been set a little bit too high. But having said that, I also thought it was really, really good. Performances were excellent. Right now, I have a hard time imagining this movie not winning Best Picture.

Typically, when a movie is this critically acclaimed and also does these types of numbers at the box office and also is directed by an auteur director that hasn't won yet, this just seems like an absolute shoe-in for Best Picture. Okay. The acting was phenomenal. The acting is amazing uh tell me this obviously a little bit a little bit of spoiler here although it's history so how much can you really spoil it um so i i don't it doesn't sound like any of us saw this in imax i saw this at a kind of crappy austin theater that really feels more like you're just watching it in somebody's giant media room than like in an actual movie theater. There's like space all around the screen because the screen doesn't actually fill up the theater. Oh, man.

That type of thing. So the Trinity sequence where they're getting ready, that's obviously like the kind of the climax of the film, the big piece of the second act. And when that explosion goes off, I was expecting like kind of very stunning visuals. And I don't think I don't feel like I got that. Like I was a little let down by the by the visuals of the explosion itself. And like especially with, you know, like in the kind of lead-up to that in the first 90 minutes or so how oppenheimer like keeps having the visions of like the fusion and like the rings bouncing and like they're like they're doing that really cool kind of interstellar inception style like just like noise and kind of visual visual language yeah i kind of thought that

was going to be reflected a little bit more in some of the climactic moments. I thought it looked pretty dope. I didn't see it in IMAX. I thought it looked really good. I thought the sound in my theater was awesome. And also the seats in Alamo had the rumble pack. Oh, yeah. I need that.

So you're like, ooh. Yeah. Yeah. I would like to see it again in a better theater. I'm going to watch it again. Yeah. You know, to your point, I definitely – I liked the direction that they went with. I liked the kind of the focus on the mixture of the politics and like the kind of the battle with Strauss was not something that I knew about or was expecting.

So it was – and Downey was awesome. So that was pretty cool. and downy was awesome um so that was pretty cool but to like to your point like i would also like a movie that focused more on the war and the bomb yeah and some of that other stuff that's that's a little bit more about like that's what i was expecting and i was wanting uh one thing this this i almost called it a film like i'm some kind of critic one i think this movie did do you can say film was made but it's like it's a little snooty to do that. It's fine. The picture.

The picture was fantastic. Cinema. One thing it did do for me is it made me want to go home and just Google the shit out of everything. Yes. Which I love. I love when a movie does that for me. Because I didn't know the full history here.

And I still don't. And I want to like dig in and see how it all went down. You didn't know how much Oppenheimer fucked. I did not know that, no. This guy was very loose with the morals. A real womanizer. A real womanizer. He's just a swordsman.

Yeah, slow down, dude. That's a piece of our country's history that I don't really know much about. So I want to find out more. Favorite cameos. Give me your favorite cameo. The cameo, like, you know, people that popped up you're like oh fuck there's jc affleck was not expecting him or uh remy malik remy's the one that i don't know if he's my

favorite he's one thing that jumped out like oh what the fuck i've always had a big crush on emily blunt glad she was in the movie that wasn't a cameo but she was i'm a big fan um i will so i didn't know who this was until i started doing my googling after but the guy that plays teller the the kind of spanish looking uh scientist with the looks like he's kind of wearing eye makeup the whole time yeah oh that that is benny safty one of the saftdie brothers who directed Good Time and Uncut Gems. So this was like his first Uncut Gems.

Josh Hartnett? Oh, yeah. We gotta talk. We gotta shout out to Hartnett. Great to see him back in the film still. He kind of got out on his own accord, right? He was like, I'm done with Hollywood. He's a handsome feller he's very yeah and he's that is that hair real because he's still his fantastic hair i think it was but it was staring at it but it was definitely i don't know it could have been

a wig he was a real heartthrob back in the day he certainly was he was the guy but i i just i always i love to see uh that's one of the fun parts about Christopher Nolan films is just that they can get anybody to come just do, do like an odd, like a, just a very bit part. Yeah. Uh, and so who is like the Dennis Quaid's kid is one of the scientists has like three lines. He's the star of the boys.

Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. His first name is slipping my mind right now. But like a bunch of the scientists were people that you recognize from other stuff. Josh Peck was one of them. Yes.

Of like what, Nickelodeon fame? Wasn't he on some show like Drake and Josh or something? Oh, that's who that was. Yeah, so- Randy's laughing, this is Randy's era. Yeah, yeah, it was after our time. But like, I was like, pretty sure that guy was like a Nickelodeon star,

but always cool to see like it's it's it's fun to watch christopher nolan bring in people that like you don't think you think of as you know film actors basically and then they're like you know giving awesome performances and in a super serious drama so cool well good i'm glad you had fun what about you dave? What's your, what was your take on it? Uh, I really liked it. Um, I thought it took a little while to get going. Um, could have shortened it a bit. I didn't mind the length. It was just like first, the first 30 I thought was, I don't know. And it might've been that I saw it at 10 in the

morning also, which is, I know I'm not, I normally don't do that, but like you said, it's hard to get a ticket. Um, really good. I did and I did exactly what y'all did. So you had a 10 AM Lone Star? Yeah, it's like 10, 15. That wasn't my, that wasn't my best showing. That's awesome. Uh, but, uh, yeah, I went home and did what y'all did. Cause I wanted to see like, Oh, who's this sky like what the fuck and like yeah just a big uh a big anti-communist guy and all like i guess the majority of that stuff is how it really went down it's it's also just like you know this is what i was talking to lara about like after the film but but that that era it just has so much so like so much of American history just seems kind of like squashed into that 30-year period. Yeah.

And it seems like the most important stuff. And it's just like – you talk about a name like J. Edgar Hoover. He was involved in like every single major American historical occurrence over the last 70 years. Yeah. occurrence over the last 70 years and yeah the fact that i think it's easy to separate world war ii and the cold war for me but like they really did just like one kind of led into the other um that that's always kind of interesting to think about the fact that albert einstein was just like hanging around america for the last 30 years of his life or whatever like there's just some really cool little details like that that you don't think about i like that

we got some albert in the film yeah yeah i don't know why that brought me so much joy i'm like what i'm a fucking dummy he's a legend i can't even fuck with his shit man oh man hey we were talking cutting season a little bit ago and um you know what's a good thing to accompany cutting season is this about the app Fitbod?

Oh, I'm sorry. sorry fitbod.me slash steam and i was so close to being good there it's all right you got there um let's talk about this collie randy can we do it real quick so this came across my tl over the weekend and i think i had taken it like one and a half early birds when i saw it i I was like, what? I don't know. Barrett's face. Do you know what you're about to see?

I don't know what I'm about to see. Okay, good, good, good. Yeah. So like I said, I came across this animal over the weekend, and I was a little bit high because I had taken early birds. And I didn't know. My brain couldn't really comprehend what I was looking at. First, I was like, oh, that's just a really fat collie dog. Big.

That's a larger than normal collie. Yeah, you don't see him that big. Lassie. You're familiar with the show Lassie? Yeah. It turns out it's not a dog. There's a man, a Japanese fella, who spent $14,000 to become a Kali. This is a human.

Is this a video, Rainey? Okay, let's see it. Okay. I hate what's happening here. I mean, until it starts to move, it looks just like a really overweight Kali. No! He's rolling over yeah so you get you guys you gotta you gotta see what i'm talking about you gotta pull the picture or the video no we'll link to it this guy he likes the rollover he's real proud of the of the rolling over he's that one is that that's what makes it worth it he claims that it's not a sexual play at all he just his dream has always

been to just act like a dog and walk outside and just be a dog. He says there's no sexual element to it whatsoever. I kind of believe him. I kind of believe him. I think he's just a weirdo, but not a sexual weirdo. I don't know, man. This skews sexual weirdo. I like how he keeps waving, too.

Dogs don't wave, guy. Some dogs can wave. Yeah, but not with a little like, not with like any flex in their wrist. Yeah, they don't turn the wrist up to show you their little paw pads. That's true. Bears do.

I get served like one bear video a day and it's a bear waving at people. How do you know it's not just a Japanese man inside of a bear costume? The bear costume's got to be more expensive than that. So there's also

in this, there's a New York Post article about it. I'm looking at it now. There's a picture in the article of a, I think,

I don't know if it's his wife or his girlfriend, but not bad looking, by the way. And she's out walking him. No. I say that because even this guy's older.

Now we're cooking. She's walking him on the on the sidewalk show me he says he was a little bit nervous to step out in public for the first time but he got out there and he's like you know what no do it and sure enough um yeah he goes on walks there's no way there's not a sexual element to this if he's allowing walks if he's getting dog walked by his girlfriend, this does not stop at dog walks. Does she have a little dog suit? No, she appears to be very normal. Let me see. Zoom in. Why? I just want to see how normal. I mean, she's just a normal looking lady. She's

having fun. She's got a big overcoat on. Good style. If you were to get a dog suit, let's say you've got unlimited funds. You got to get a dog suit. And you're going to get dog walked around town. What dog are you going with? Well, you know I'm a golden retriever guy. We're all golden retriever guys. We are.

He picked, the reason he picked a collie, because it has longer hair and it was able to hide his physique more inside the suit. Smart. Yeah. Yeah. So you couldn't do like a, like a Weimaraner, for example. Yeah. Real sleek. Yeah. Short hair.

Yeah, you got to do kind of a, you got to do a big dog as well. You got to do a big dog. Obviously. Big dog, yeah. Yeah, I'd be a golden. I would go dog the bounty hunter. Okay. Sure.

Do you think this dog has that guy in him literally yeah yeah that's good Dave it took an x-ray can you make that image x-ray with theandy likes it randy can you make that happen yeah probably that's so dumb what it was pretty dumb he's got that guy in him uh look humiliation's in right now humiliation play like a lot of people are doing that and if you had to spend 14k to get walked around town by your lady so be it you know he's he's in the suit he's he's wearing you know the the suit here but if anybody has the kink it it's almost like it's the girlfriend right that's a great point yeah she's not innocent in this whole deal let's not let her off the hook uh bad timing though uh noted global heat wave just gotta say yeah to be in the suit you mean to be in the suit no but she's she's walking around in a big top coat

where it looks like it's it's cool where they are yeah i think you got to be yeah it's a seasonal you can't take this out in august it's a seasonal play it is yeah yeah it's got to be pretty hot and i wonder if it if there's any kind of ventilation working probably not all right if you had to guess do you think those these two have done the uh romantic stuff with the dog suit on i don't i don't know dave i don't know if there's a place to to pull your thing out in this suit well if you had to guess uh yeah barrett yeah yeah he says it's not sexual dave but i the fact that he had to say it's not sexual though right nobody asked that's because when when his the images started to hit the internet

everyone's like oh this guy's a fucking freak this guy's having sex with this he's a he's like next level he's like hyper realistic furry you know is what basically and he's like no no no that's not what it is guys i just i just want to be a dog what what someone chooses to do behind closed doors with their sig of who's dressed up in a dog suit is their business as long as not hurting anybody no you know i agree david very cool only 14 grand that seems kind of cheap make it happen have y'all watched uh this most recent season of dave yes he has on hulu yes yeah it's it's it's crazy to think that his um hyper realistic sex doll is only about half the price of this dog so yeah yeah and that one you can have sex and i knew that one you can have sex yeah there's me kind of nodding along the only guy who hasn't seen dave in here cool new season's really good yeah yeah um jill see this ex son yeah randy have you zeded yet

no is that what uh is that what we're calling tweeting now that's what dylan insists that we call it and dylan loves it i said that at one time so So I guess they switched the branding over, as you've noticed. They switched Twitter, what was formerly Twitter headquarters, over to X. And this guy, the view, so there's apartments, townhouse, or whatever, across the street from Twitter headquarters. And this guy just has the X glowing through his window at all times. It looks like the Oppenheimer scene when the bomb goes off. That's how bright this thing is.

It is obnoxiously bright. It also has a strobe effect to it where it just flickers in your window. The strobe effect. Where is this? This is on top of the Twitter headquarters. Yeah, in San Francisco. Directly across the street is an apartment building. Directly.

Probably real cheap, too, at San Francisco. Yeah, look, that video that Randy's playing right now, it shows you the light shining on a building across the street. It'll pan over, and it's just like right in your face. It's just a floodlight. Unbelievable. Why does it need to strobe like that it doesn't that's the thing about it it's just a you just have a business can't you doesn't it shouldn't shut off

like when it's bedtime it's not a good use of electricity what's what's this guy doing i don't know what's elon doing that was the most unnecessary rebrand of anything i've ever seen dude the bird the twitter bird was so nice and. Is he forgetting that we've all been calling them tweets for so long because of the name of the platform? He's changing the way we think. I'm not going to stop calling them tweets, Dave. You are going to say you're not going to zeet? I'm not saying that. I'm not going to stop calling it Twitter.

I'm not going to stop calling them tweets. You know, where's the Cybertruck at? You know, I thought weren't we supposed to have cyber trucks rolling on around on the streets uh now did ross is ross getting a cyber truck he's he's got uh pre-order for two of them i'm pretty sure yeah yeah that's two i really hope that's true well yeah you need you know one to stock one to rock you gotta have doubles his and hers doubles is best doubles is best um now to answer your question, I don't know. What are they?

I don't know. $50,000? No. You'd think he'd have enough on his plate with the rockets and the cars and the electricity and the batteries and all that. You'd think. But no, he's got time to order a strobing floodlight X sign and put it on top of his building. I feel like if you're just walking by that,

that could like, and you're someone who's prone to maybe like epileptic seizures, that could just trigger you. Yeah, that seems dangerous. You were right. They start at 50K. Why do I think these are like $200,000?

I don't know. Because it's so big, I guess? I have no clue. Wow. Yeah um 60k for a two motor version you just don't need two or 70k for a three motor cyber truck i don't really know what all that means and but wow i thought they were very expensive they're doubling down on motors and they triple down even triples are better triples is best triples is best hey when did the kids start throwing stuff at artists as they performed on stage? That's a good question. Yeah.

Some young lady threw her drink on Cardi B while she was performing. Why would you do that? I don't know. Maybe she has some beef with Cardi B. I think she just got caught up in the moment. But Cardi doesn't want that. This seems to be happening with with regularity now drake's getting uh large bras it's all that one reserves but somebody threw a vape at drake before

that someone's they're throwing cell phones at drake did the whole whole ass someone threw just like hey here's my phone i'm gonna ruin the next three days of my life by just giving away my phone yeah i have to deal with all that yeah weird they're trying to make that hotline bling yeah okay i don't know i mean the hotline bling yeah cardi uh did you see the video where she chunked the i did yeah look like it uh i can do some serious damage the real takeaway here is that she was exposed for lip syncing which i think most rappers have a backup track going yeah but. But this was maybe not the best look. Do you have a problem with her making money moves? No, no.

But the mic was on, though. She does her actual, you know, because you could. She raps along with the backing track. When she threw the mic, you could hear that it was turned on because it made contact with somebody. That's pretty typical for rappers. I would think so, too. But, yeah, lip syncer.

I don't know. It's bad. It's bad, though, the throwing the stuff at the performers. Yeah. And it's like now it just seems like copycatting, right? That's like the kids are like, oh, this is a thing. We shouldn't have platformed that content. Somebody gets too high or has one too many drinks

and is like, probably getting egged on by their friends and then they chunk something up there. But it's no good. It's not good. Were you team Miranda or team ladies in the crowd taking selfies? In quotes, it wasn't actually a selfie. I actually don't know this one.

Oh, Miranda Lambert stopped down a show in the middle of one of her songs because, um, there's a group of women taking a group photo, like with their back to her. And it was, she absolutely just stopped down. I was like, Hey, come on. She says, I'm up here trying to sing some country damn music country damn music awkwardly worded yeah it was where were these ladies uh floor seats like general like you know they're right up front right up front so the initial video looked bad because you couldn't see the perspective from the crowd a second video showed that they were actually doing it for quite a while so they were like posing for we assume a couple of

minutes they didn't have a will to freeze in the group right to just get it one take so it miranda looked better after the second video came out yeah i'm still on the fence whether i think it was a she still shouldn't have embarrassed probably probably not yeah yeah yeah it's just something you gotta you gotta deal with as a as a performer but that is annoying when the people that are in the the front row doing that stuff yeah yeah and maybe don't do it i don't know the song that she was singing but i think it's like a pretty serious heartfelt song maybe just maybe wait until like uh i don't know i don't know what song redneck woman comes on i don't think it's not that's not her don't hold a full yeah i mean don't hold a full photo shoot. But you know what I mean. Don't do a full photo shoot. Let's do a quick snap and let's move on. Yeah.

You know what? The next concert I'm at, I'm going to be rocking my bird dogs. Really? I'm going to get all the photos. Really? Yeah, bud. They make you look good. Bird dogs stretch khaki shorts are designed to fit slimmer through the thigh and leg,

giving you a truly sculpted look. Dylan, I've seen you at the gym recently. Mm-hmm. With your bird dogs on. Yesterday, I wore my bird dogs to the gym because I planned on going workout, sauna, pool. I did those in that exact order. This is a true story, David.

I wore my bird dogs. It's not capping. Bird dogs are perfect for all three phases of what I wanted to do. And they dried quickly on my way home. That's huge. We love the liner. Bird Dog shorts do the exact same thing as Lulu Lemon shorts do,

but they fit way better. They fit better than regular shorts. They're made of like the stiff, restricting cotton. Bird Dogs fixed that issue by inventing cloud knit fabric that looks just like khaki. They use anti-stink sweat wicking fabric that keeps you cool and dry all day long. And apparently dries pretty well for you.

Won't catch me stinking. No, you don't stink at all. Mm-mm. Thank you. Go to birddogs.com slash circling and enter promo code circling for a free Yeti-style tumbler with your order.

the spot real quick. Okay. I'm ready. I didn't prep you for this, but I'm very curious. You're a very meticulous fellow. Your personal ick list. My personal ick list. I'm curious what gives you the ick these days? Oh man. Can I get y'all to start so I can get some examples off the ground here? Okay. So the one that I think about that I've clearly been on a number of ladies ick lists many times in my life- So this is romantic partner icks. Correct. Correct. So somebody went viral, a lady went viral recently for putting out her ick list it might have been a sorority and one of them was uh when a guy is sitting on a bar stool and his feet are just dangling that's so good that one hits so close to home because i'm you know not the tallest guy

but i was thinking like man my feet dangle often. What am I supposed to do? I think one that I shared was when she's making a right turn at an intersection and she catches curve. She catches curve with the back right tire. It just like jolts you, you know, that feeling. It's the worst. I did that leaving my my son my son's daycare uh the other day and it's just all moms just why is it me do it and it was loud and i

just i i panicked and just floored it and got out of there we've all done it but it's it's all it's always so embarrassing like who saw that you know it's so bad it's just like three strangers that you'll never see again saw it but but still it's embarrassing as hell. Anything giving you the ick these days? God. We're talking for ladies, for the ladies? Sure. Yeah?

Yeah. Or what we think is ick for dudes. We should show you the ick list that we were talking about a few weeks ago just to get your brain churning a little bit. I'm reading the fellas rebuttal and um yeah give us a couple i'm gonna try to find some of the less uh the least problematic ones and i just like this one if she uses the term i have to piss i don't know that i've ever heard a young lady say piss oh i got it i got the ick one time because a young lady that was talking to said she had to take a shit like she said shit like take a shit like I get that like we all do that

but I don't want to I don't want to hear it a phrase like that from I don't like it when when when the fellows say that no oh you gotta take a shit make it use a funny say say do do say gotta go potty say say dookie like a grown man yeah you know okay this is okay if she can throw a football yeah does that give you the egg too athletic for me oh my god um what randy randy's got one randy's got one no the opposite of that super unathletic like Like, can't even run. Oh, that's an ache. I find that endearing. Have you ever seen people who run and their wrists are kind of, they do the limp, long-distance run? Not really.

Like the kind of, that's like the Phoebe, right? Or the Rachel. Somebody on Friends runs like that. Is that one of them? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That one has always bothered me. It's like the T-Rex run kind of. Yeah, exactly.

I like it when I throw a football to a girl and she just gets out of the way of it. She's like, I don't want to catch it. That's hot. You prefer that. That's hot, yeah. Don't catch my football. God, man, I'm biffing this, y'all. It's okay.

I can't. It's okay. We kind of put you on the spot there. I'm having a hard time coming up with something. If she enjoys Limeers uh okay i don't i'm anti-lime scooter i'm anti every scooter i don't know if i've ever gotten the egg but it is kind of funny to think like there's she's a 10 but she just went zooming by you on the sidewalk on a lime scooter yeah just it is kind of an awkward position to be in um yeah when women run with a backpack on okay that that is so accurate though you know running with a backpack is inherently awkward

for for guys and girls yeah if you're like late to class and you got hit that little sprint to maybe catch the bus or something it's humiliating all right i think i've got one um a coffee mug or a stanley you know thing with a big plastic straw and like lipstick smudges just on the straw or the mug it's a deal breaker okay yeah you can't get past it's gross yeah it's a little why is it so gross i don't yeah yeah yeah it's like a physical a physical showing of like like germ kind of thing almost i don't know it's it's it's an ick it's an it is that's okay um man the fact that ick has come over to it is something i thought was purely love island uk talk and then next thing you know it's

everywhere uh yeah i don't know if love island is the reason for that or not have you watched the talent show yet by the way i have oh how about some how about some of the i got the yik during that yeah i did too from abby yeah she gave me the egg clown makeup sweet abby i just wanted to run by a couple more x with y'all that i think please you know just i just want to get y'all's takes on these because they're they're you know pretty unique um smelling bad yeah i think smelling bad is the worst yeah can't get past it how about this one um being rude yeah yeah don't you hate it rude people oh what are you doing hashtag get out uh having a messy apartment okay oh goblin mode yeah yeah it's giving goblin that is that actually is a good one though yeah it's just like you know

you got to keep it clean something i recall from back in the back in the old days you know yeah you'd occasionally step into a to a girl's place and it'd be like the grid on the floor or a messy car or a messy yeah same same oh no yeah what about dog hair in the car because that's uh my jeep right now depends covered in it it depends on if you if it's always like that if it's's just an accepted, like, I have dog hair in my car, or if you make an effort to clean up every now and then. Hey, can we take a hard pivot right here before we get out of here? And I just want to play a little game that we call Mona Lisa or AI Shoddy. Actually, my last ick is if you're not a real person.

Oh, okay. Oh, I'm sorry. If you are a real person. If you're an actual human. I prefer my shorties to be digital only. Yeah, Dylan, are you aware of this? Dylan's got a digital crush. I do. I saw the clip. I just saw the clip right before we started. Randy, can you pull up the original AI shoddy? Milla Sofia?

She's perfect. She's 19, though. But it's okay because she's not real. You can sofia she's perfect yeah she's you know she's 19 though that seems like but it's okay because she's not real so you can still say she's attractive hails from helsinki right or she would if she were real well that's what it says there so this is her what's her name milla sofia she's not real this isn't a real person you've never heard of this person unless you've listened to our show um seems like a like nice enough right she's like a nice gal is she your e-type you know i don't really have an e-type but she kind of you know what she ticks all the boxes for me day okay she ticks all the boxes but have you ever wondered what um

mona lisa would look like today if she was created by artificial intelligence that's something i've wondered and if she happened to be just an absolute like nine five i bet she would be showing a lot of tea that's my guess okay well yeah yeah yeah okay yeah yeah yeah i was right i'm pulling up the original mona lisa to compare how much tea she's showing and it turns out not much not much there's a hint there's a hint of cleavage in the original mona lisa sneaky clay yeah just a hint of it but this you know just anything in 2023 it's like probably probably copped from sheen this uh this dress that she's wearing and uh she's just showing a lot of chest she's bad right she's bad middle part stays true to the original mona lisa oh

that's that's the og middle part the og middle part they do they do kind of i don't get the ick from middle part i just i just don't like them that much the middle part yeah and they're everywhere i know i get it i don't like it i you know i can i i'm on the totally other side really yeah i think i think most people are on your side it does a lot it does i like it a lot yeah yeah it's okay it frames the way it frames the face it kind of throws me a bit i don't know who you got og or 2023 no no no um ai shoddy or milla sofia milla sofia or uh modern owner you know i um i've been kind of going through a blonde phase lately but i i've always been a brunette guy myself like that's just who i've been kind of going through a blonde phase lately, but I've always been a brunette guy myself.
