No. That's my PR agency that reps me and they were just kind of shooting me some headlines and stuff to talk about and apparently that's something that their shooters were talking about. Trying to get my Andrews shorts and PFGs out of the closet. Yeah. Out of storage.

Starting point is 00:01:26 Little surprise you haven't already. What do you think about Dylan's new hat? Yeah, what do you think? I'm trying something. Is it your famously anti-trucker hat, but this isn't a trucker hat? I'm just making, I'm just talking it out, man. Not a trucker hat. Relax. But this is my first two-tone hat I've ever owned.

Starting point is 00:01:39 Okay, okay. I'm not used to seeing, you know, two-tone. It's a good hat. I'm just, I'm not used to seeing you with multi-tone. It fits really well. It's very comfortable. And I think it looks all right. Just trying something, that's all. We're taking chances here. A lot's changed since you've been gone.

When's the last time you and I hung out? It's been a while. Oh, not long enough. That's mean. Jesus. What's your- Randy got a sword umbrella.

Starting point is 00:03:27 Pretty rude. Yeah, yeah. I was, did you guys ever say what that was when it came in? I was positive Randy was getting just a straight up sword in the mail. You didn't see our viral reel? It was just an umbrella. I was gonna say, you guys didn't do a real-

Starting point is 00:03:40 It was a samurai umbrella. Okay. It went on the stories. It was actually the flame harsher from Demon Slayer. You understand what he's saying? Do you want to try that one more time? The flame harsher. From Demon Slayer.

Starting point is 00:03:53 Yes. Is that an anime? Yes. Hey, let me pull back the curtain. Why didn't we just reel that? I don't think that was real worthy, honestly. Are you not real guys? We've reeled some real dumb shit lately.

Starting point is 00:04:04 I ate two chicken sandwiches and it got real. That was an umbrella that showed real worthy, honestly. Are you not real guys? We've real some real dumb shit lately. That was I ate two chicken sandwiches and it got real. That was an umbrella that showed up in the mail. I don't know Dave. That's worth getting real. I mean, it did go back to back on the spicy boys. You did too much chicken that day. I'll be honest.

Starting point is 00:04:15 Chicken for breakfast. Too many bonds too. You're just bondo. You were straight up chicken terry in that day. I was I was not proud of myself. I was so happy to get back to American cuisine. Really? Yes.

Starting point is 00:04:27 They taught the world how to eat over there. Yeah, but like a player just needed something that wasn't Italian. Yeah. I still want a cheeseburger more than anything. You'd had enough carbs for one trip. No one's ever done what I did yesterday. Are you ready for what I did yesterday?

Starting point is 00:04:43 Yeah. I had not one, but two English breakfasts yesterday. Wow. What about second breakfast? It's never been done. I did a second breakfast. You did a second breakfast, Dylan. You get that reference, right?

Starting point is 00:04:54 Beans with that breakfast? Only with one. Part of the reason I did the second one was because the beans were looking so good that I was like, I gotta get up in there. Yeah, I hear you. Pretend I don't really know what an English breakfast is. Just fucking cut it. Full English breakfast, David.

Starting point is 00:05:07 Eggs. It's a type of tea. Beans? Yes, eggs, beans, bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms. Black pudding is typically in it, but I did not have any black pudding yesterday. I just didn't feel like having any, poor contestants. Okay. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:05:27 But honestly, it goes crazy hard. You know who's got one in town? Darcy's Donkey. Kelly's Irish Pub. That's our spot. You can eat it all day. Interesting. I'm surprised you didn't know that.

Starting point is 00:05:37 I'm surprised they have an English breakfast. It's an Irish pub. I think they also have a full Irish and I think it's a little different. Do you want me to, let me look it up just for the people at home who are like, what's a full Irish breakfast? But you know what? Put me in that category. Bacon, sausage, baked beans, eggs, it's all the same. It's all the same. I'm not going to say that to like an English person or an Irish person because they might flame me. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm glad you did that. That sounds delightful.

Starting point is 00:06:05 Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm glad you did that. That sounds delightful. I'm just on my meat grind. I'm just grinding on meat. Okay. He's grinding on meat, y'all. Do you do any freak dancing over there? Maybe at the wedding? No, no, freak dancing. Unfortunately, the music at the wedding wasn't really conducive to freak dancing. It was a string quartet. You get freak dancing. Yeah. They did play both the succession theme song and the White Lotus theme song. So that's cool. Did you request both of those? No, they were just pre-requested by the Bride and Groom.

Starting point is 00:06:32 Got it. On a pre-established playlist that they did. Well, yeah, you got to do that when you're in Italy. Oh, yeah. I think that was the entire point. You know, it took place in Sicily, but it's same same. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's not, but it is.

Starting point is 00:06:44 It's same same. Sure. Very similar what I mean? It's not. It is. It's same same. Sure. Very similar. Different parts of the boot. Same culture. Actually, ejecta position's quite significant. Okay. How's your Milan hotspot work in the airport? Not great. That's what they used to call Randy.

Starting point is 00:06:58 Not great. I will say the Milan airport's one of the most ridiculous airports I've ever been in. There's two airports there. I don't know. The other one apparently sucks. I've never seen more designer stores in my entire life than in the Milan airport. It's high fashion in Milan. It's crazy the stores that they have in this place. I did hit up the duty free. Got some body lotion. You hear me saying? It's free of duties when you're there. You hear me saying? Did you see that FSU fan? you know what I'm saying? Did you see that FSU fan? The FSU Cowgirls? Jen Sturger? Wow, that's a callback. No, there was a young man who said that if Florida State lost to Boston

Starting point is 00:07:34 College, which they did if you missed it. I did miss that. He was going to eat dog shit from a red solo cup with a spoon. And? And he, he went, he went dark. Come on. He's back though. I don't know if he's if he's back or someone is pretending to be him. Man, I heard I like it more if someone's pretending to be. I heard these longhorns are just looking great. Hey, look, dude, are the is the booty chatter real? Is Davis Warren QB one for Michigan right now? They're they're doing it. Well, kind of did I pick the wrong kind of alternating quarterbacks, but he definitely got the start. Okay, did I, did I choose the wrong time to jump ship? He will play Saturday. I'm pretty sure. I liked it. I liked that he was talking shit to me in the comments of the circling back pot Instagram, which you can follow at circling back pot on Instagram. He's a real one. They're kind of billing this weekend as like the will to freeze, like winter gets will to freeze fandom. It's the big to frze ball. That's what

Starting point is 00:08:26 everybody's calling it. Should we make a t-shirt before it before it goes? Maybe. You know, Brett can probably make you a graphic real quick. Yeah, it's true. Um um I mean, it's here though. Yeah. It did come soon enough. Yeah. If you've nothing else to talk about, you can go an intro. Dylan Chivri. So, this guy did not eat the dog shit. You can't step on my shit like that. You can't leave. You got the intro. You didn't eat the dog shit. What do you. You can go an intro. Dylan Chivory. So, this guy did not eat the dog ****.

Starting point is 00:08:58 on. Man, that's just not like that's a flex that I'm going to leave out there for someone else. I saw a dude on Twitter eating it. He's stealing clout. It was a one of the bar. I think it was a barstool guy. He's he sure didn't just put a did he put a Snickers bar in

Starting point is 00:09:08 a pool and just mash it up? He took his dog outside the dog **** He picked it up and put it in the cup. Hey, man. Sick flex. Yeah, I wouldn't do that. Anyway, uh back to the intro. You're saying you wouldn't eat dog **** If it was even it was

Starting point is 00:09:22 from your dog. Yeah, I am saying that but you know what if it was life or death? What if it was life or death for your dog? They're going to kill your dog. Yeah, I am saying that but you know what if it was life or death? What if it was life or death for your dog? They're going to kill your dog. If it's safe, if somehow eating her **** saved her life, then I would eat her **** Okay.

Starting point is 00:09:33 It's not going to dog, right? I'm glad we got that out there. I can't imagine that scenario playing out. It might. Dude, I'm so glad college football is back. Randy, who's Purdue got this weekend? Notre Dame. Would you shut up? Man, Notre Dame. Anyway, he's been in Japan. It's

Starting point is 00:09:45 tougher A&M. Couple things here. Took a nice 73 degree stroll around the trail in the lake this morning. Fantastic morning for a walk. I'd rather talk college football. Love it. Uh saw our friend Mike Eisenhower out there but more importantly, I'm happy the band's back together. Alright. We got Will here. We got Randy. Well, a number of those guys are dead. Okay. Um it's just uh it's just a saying Warren Liebel. It's just the same meaning that we're all

Starting point is 00:10:10 back together. The boys are back in town. Is that is that a better reference for you? The boys are back in town. We're a full strength. I'm familiar with the song. Why do you force references like that? For the first time in a couple weeks where they're full strength David. Uh yeah man. Anyway, I'm happy Will's back too. And Randy. The Vines are back.

Starting point is 00:10:27 So I warned Zvon, I fucked that up and I knew I fucked it up. So I made sure so that I didn't have people reach out to me being like, you're an idiot. What did you say? I said, leave on. Ah, okay. You know.

Starting point is 00:10:39 Yeah, now that you're back, Will. But he wasn't even in the band. Am I mixing people? I'm mixing people. Ready for our gifts. Let's move on. Randy, delete that. We're ready for our gifts at any time. Yeah, he wasn't even the band. Am I mixing people? I'm mixing people ready for us. Move on. Brand new. Delete that ready for our gifts at any time. Yeah, for sure. From Italy for sure. You think it'll leave on

Starting point is 00:10:54 started a gene company. Great Elton John song. John leave. We're talking to EJ right now. My dog underrated. Underrated as an artist. So, what's the deal? You walked today? Yeah, man. I went to this. What's this Underrated as an artist. So, what's the deal? You walked today? Yeah, man. I went to this. I watched this Elton John movie one time and they had

Starting point is 00:11:11 songs in it. What the **** We're not doing this. We're not doing this. I was like, wait, what? Songs? I don't. I don't **** with musicals is what Dylan said. Yeah. That was a great movie going experience if I do say so myself. No, I enjoyed enjoyed it. Were you all mad that I showed up in Joker makeup? Yeah, a little bit. I like when you do that. You're very distracted.

Starting point is 00:11:29 Are you going to do that for the new one coming out? Alyssa can be Harley. What's Harley? Where's Harley in all this? Harley Quinn, Lady Gaga. Oh yeah. Is it Lady Gaga? Yeah. Dylan claims to be a little monster, but I don't really know if he's an actual little monster. I think you might be stealing valor. She's so freaking talented. I liked when she did a dive bar tour presented by Bud Light. She's great. She's great. She's got a couple of good songs. She should have just done the Jack White strategy. Hey man.

Starting point is 00:12:05 Yeah. So we're, we're just kind of winging it. Wait a minute. Hey, we might, we might be at a club sometime. We don't know. We're just road men. That started off as Joe Biden for the record. I can't do a Jack White.

Starting point is 00:12:21 We found out I cannot do an disease yesterday. Truly bad. There's a lot of bad impressions yesterday. none worse than Randy. Oh my God. We did five minutes of terrible impressions yesterday. Someone, we'll pull back the curtain. This is Patreon content. You were supposed to be here. Oh, I know exactly the prompt you guys are talking about.

Starting point is 00:12:38 That bums me out. Honestly, this bums me out that I wasn't here for that one. Christopher Walk and Fred Dave and Aziz. It turns out- Pitch circling back. Oh my God, is the only thing we know how to say in Aziz voice. He's quite limited.

Starting point is 00:12:50 Yeah, that's all we got. So we ran it back several times, but that's okay. What? That's good. It took me about eight minutes to figure out the Fred Dave impression. No. I'm Dave.

Starting point is 00:13:03 You can just fall into that sometimes. Don't, I know. So wait, you a impression. No, you can't. I'm Dave. You can just you just fall into that sometimes. Don't I know. So, wait, do you brought Stella on the walk too? Yeah, dude. It was so sick. You were drinking this morning? Did she go duty? Yeah, he

Starting point is 00:13:15 forgot a bag. So, he had to eat it. She did poop. She did poop on the wall. What if that was the punishment for public uh dog shoot? Honestly, that if that was the punishment, that would be great. What's the price? Hey, can I put my hand up about something actually? Now that I have like a place where I actually put my trash

Starting point is 00:13:33 bins out in front, I can officially say I don't give a shit if you put it in there. Yeah, see, it's trash. If you put it in there, not only should I not even know, but getting mad about it is just pointless. If it's properly tied up, then it's a big deal. I'm putting dirty diapers in there like every night. You hear that, Dave?

Starting point is 00:13:51 Yeah. Okay. I don't agree. It's debottably grosser. It's okay. Debottably. Can we get some announcements out of the way? Because we've got a loaded rundown. Yes.

He left his medical practice and founded Organe to create foods and beverages that offer better nutrition for people everywhere. That's a noble cause, if I do say so myself. What if I told you they had a 30 gram protein shake? Have you had one yet?

Starting point is 00:15:50 Oh yeah. I mean, I do Harlem shakes traditionally, but when Organe slid through with the shakes, it's over. 30 grams of protein and let me tell you, they are delicious.

I was going to try to slide through with like a sentence and I don't really have much for greeting. I'll go. I don't prego, but I don't, in my, in the situation

Starting point is 00:17:14 when you're in Italy, you're not saying it very often. You're mostly saying, grazie. It means you're welcome, but it also it's, it's used in you can use it, it has various meanings. It's always on your recommended tab. It's used in different, you can use it, it has various meanings. It's always on your recommended tab. It's very versatile. Is that right? Okay, I see what you're doing.

Starting point is 00:17:31 No, that's not a thing. Ha ha, that's pretty good. That's not a thing. Just say bonjour now. Bonjour. Give me a good morning one time. My favorite's bonno sear. Okay, good afternoon.

Starting point is 00:17:47 It just feels good. You know? Yeah, it's good. What do you guys want to know? I want to know I want to know how dope Lake Como was. It's my, it's like my dream vacation at this point. You got to do it right in front of my face. So,

Starting point is 00:18:02 we chose Lake Como just because one, the Amalfi Coast was like crazy expensive. Lake Como is more affordable? For what we did. So we went for my brother-in-law's wedding and now my sister-in-law, shout out Harry and Kim, and they were going to the Amalfi Coast and staying at the place where we did our honeymoon and we didn't want to encroach on them. So we decided to go somewhere else and explore some other options. And so we ended up doing Como. Como is everything anyone has ever said about it. Like I, it's true.

Starting point is 00:18:29 It truly lived up to every expectation that I had most beautiful place on earth. Really? The water is the perfect temperature to dive into and just chill. Really? Yes. Like the perfect temperature. So you got some swims off. Oh yeah.

Starting point is 00:18:43 I was doing cannonballs every day. We had a dock in front of our hotel and so I was just doing gainers, cannonballs, side bangers, pencils, anything you want. You penciled. I didn't pencil. Can't open her or no? You thought about penciling. I thought about penciling.

Starting point is 00:18:58 You don't know. I can't gainer. Nah, I just do a lot of cannonballs and dives. No one's, you're not allowed to gainer and coke come on too dangerous You guys want my top three bites of food that I had. Yes. All right This includes the whole trip or just come entire trip. All right entire trip, but the Yeah, entire trip. All right my number three Would be the first bite of pizza that I had

Starting point is 00:19:22 mmm No first bite of pizza that I had. Neapolitan style. Right. That's how I grind when I'm eating pizza in Italy. Okay. You don't necessarily want to get that when you're up in the northern part of Italy, but I have to say. You had to cut it yourself. Their pizza is so good. It took me over a week to get my first bite of pizza when we were there. That's unacceptable. Well, all the pizza places in Florence were closed. Did you

Starting point is 00:19:44 get an outside piece? Why were they closed? Is this a like sopranos thing? No. Oh, okay. I thought that was like a, no, everybody likes the outside pieces now. It's kind of the trendy thing.

Starting point is 00:19:56 A corner or a middle. Yeah. Is this the Costco guys? No. Well, well, well. It's Costco adjacent. Is the Rizler one of the Costco guys? Yeah. Yes. Okay. He's the youngest son Why does he have a whole separate brand? I don't think he's a guy. I think he's just another guy

Starting point is 00:20:11 He's the only one who's got real juice. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no based on how much Fritz is obsessed with We bring the boom to you. They have Jason. Yeah, they did use the Rizzler as a battering ram at Sally slices who does corner Okay, okay. Thank's where we got it. That explains everything. Thank you for that. You're welcome. You miss a lot in Italy. My number two bite of food was some homemade ravioli

Starting point is 00:20:34 made by none other than Sally and I at our cooking class that we did. Oh, that's nice. We hung out with a woman named- A little self-glazed there, but that's okay. Well, Barbara did most of the work. She did most of the proportions as well. Shout out to Barbara.

Starting point is 00:20:47 Barbara was a real one. And yeah, she took us to the farmer's market and we picked out all the stuff and then we went to her place and just got a meal off. Just y'all two? Yeah. It was really fun. We made some ravioli.

Starting point is 00:20:59 Incredible. Barbara knows what she's doing. My number one bite of food was in Madinah. It was on our drive from Tuscany up to Lake Como. We stopped halfway in Madinah. They're known there for their meats and cheeses and so we went to a random sandwich shop and got a prosciutto sandwich. It was the best sandwich I've ever had in my entire life. I was like shocked by how much I enjoyed it. The prosciutto.

Starting point is 00:21:26 The thing that amazed me the most about the food this year was the meats. It's weird that like meat in Italy tastes so much better than what you get from like Trader Joe's. Really? Isn't that weird? Any Gabagool or? I think I did some Gabagool.

Starting point is 00:21:41 If there was meat on the table, your boy was plucking constantly. I saw you had like olives just in a little glass, but for like with like every meal. Oh yeah dude, every cocktail you order in Italy they bring you chips, nuts, and some olives. That's so sick. That's how you do it. That's a nice touch. Apparently they believe that you're not, I mean it's uncouth to be drunk there and they believe that serving the food with it, uh, stops you from that. I don't really think it works like that.

Starting point is 00:22:11 Having like a half a bag of chips doesn't really. It checks out. I've never met a drunk Italian. Yeah. They famously don't drink at all. Nope. Not at all. No, no. Um, I would like to give a special shout out to my bartenders Nemo and Domenico. Treated me very well. They made me a top tier cocktail. You know, like a Gibson Martini, come on. Put a little onion in there.

Starting point is 00:22:34 Yeah, they infused it with leaks. No one's doing that. Can you imagine infusing it with leaks? No, I've never had, I didn't know that was a thing. That's some new shit. Randy, didn't they call you the leak infuser back in the day? That's a, yeah, leak in a boat. I know the people are gonna be clamoring.

Starting point is 00:22:50 I know the text on this, but Dave, there is a vacation exception for the Zot card, correct? Cause I saw a lot of pizza on your story. No, no, no, I played two Zot cards while I was there and you could make the case that I played one on the weekend and then one on a Monday. Okay. Is there a time zone play? There is. I don't know how could make the case that I played one on the weekend and then one on a Monday. Okay. Is it a time zone play? There is.

Starting point is 00:23:08 I don't know how the time zones affect that. I do think that when I had my Monday pizza, I do think that it was, uh, still a Monday in the United States. There is a vacation exemption though, especially when you're in Italy. I still obeyed because I'm a real one. Okay. I didn't want to, I didn't want to approach the... I didn't want to get me in handcuffs the second I walked into the United States.

Starting point is 00:23:27 You know what I mean? No, I hear you. Yeah. I didn't want to flee the country because I played too many Zocs. The Zopolis will be waiting for you. Did you happen to try the Pizzuzzi? So they have this thing called fried pizza.

Starting point is 00:23:39 That's kind of a Pizzuzzi play. Okay. How was the gooch on that? The taint? Pretty good. The pizza taint. Yeah. I never heard of fried pizza. It's essentially just a calzone. I. How was the gooch on that? The taint? Pretty good. The pizza taint. Yeah, I've never heard of fried pizza.

Starting point is 00:23:46 It's essentially just a calzone. I found it at the State Fair in Texas. State Fair is like every year there's a variation. You've also had a deep fried stick of butter there as well. That's true. Yes. Deep fried PB and J sandwich. We went by, this was a fun thing for me.

Starting point is 00:24:01 I did not realize how much the people in Como love George Clooney. They love this guy. So he loves that. Oh yeah. He was like the person who put it on the map for me. Like, if you hear about it in the nineties, like, yeah, he lives on Como. He put it on the map for Americans and it's very evident. And I thought they might not like that, but like we did a boat tour one day and the guy said, he's like, I wouldn't have this business if it wasn't for George Clooney. Like George Clooney brought enough people in that I can actually sustain my family with this.

Starting point is 00:24:29 And I was like, okay. We went by his villa on the boat. It's kind of dingy. Like it needs some updates. Do you think he has a fake villa that people do like for tourists to like gawk at and then he has his real place? I mean, it'd be smart.

Starting point is 00:24:43 Cause I mean, there weren't that many boats on the water but there were always three boats like pulling up and pulling away at all times. We could see it from our place and you could just see all the boats like going up all the time. But like so apparently he just went up to someone was like hey I want to buy this and when he bought it was like between eight and ten million and now it's worth like 80 to 100 million. Good grief. Huh. It's just frustrating when good things happen to the best looking man. He's clunes, man. He's got the whole world in his hands. There were so many paparazzi outside of his place when he first moved there that he personally

Starting point is 00:25:18 signed letters to everyone in the village apologizing. That's nice. Yeah. Yeah. Dude, to get chased by the paparazzi in Italy though, it's kind of different. They've got some egos there? Yeah. I didn't drink any tequila while I was there. Do they have tequila in Italy? Yeah. Yeah. Really. The cocktail menus there seemed very American, but we were also probably at very American places.

Starting point is 00:25:39 True. True. I did hit the Negroni's a little hard in the beginning of the trip. As one will do. I was averaging about four a day. It's a lot of Negronis a little hard in the beginning of the trip. As one will do. I was averaging about four a day. It's a lot of Negroni. Yeah, and I paid for it. It's a strong cocktail. Had to lay off the high ABV cocktails later in the trip. My wife was not very impressed with my performance.

Starting point is 00:25:57 So damn, Clunes really just started out on ER and now he's here. Dude, right? He's so good looking. He had to have been named, like he had to have named Sexiest Man Alive by people like six years running. I feel like 1998 through 2001. It was like, man, it was always a bummer when the Sexiest Man Alive People magazine arrived and it wasn't like Princess Diana on the cover or something. I was always more of a Noah Wiley guy.

Starting point is 00:26:20 Shout out to everybody who really enjoyed ER. Yeah, I was going to say, did you actually watch ER? Dr. Carter, yeah. My mom and I used to watch it. My mom used to watch it, so I watched it. I never watched it, I feel like I could be into it. I wanna watch West Wing. Okay.

Starting point is 00:26:36 I'm gonna start industry. Can y'all please just start industry? Yeah, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it tonight. I did a classic binge yesterday of industry on the flight, and it was the most enjoyable binge I've done in so long I love binging show the second half of industry season 2 is great and the first half of industry season 3 is like Just really great. Okay, once I'm finished with the boys, I'll dig in what are you doing with your boys?

Starting point is 00:26:57 I'm on season 4 and it's it's still really good. He's not always like the third season of the year It's still really good. I always thought fall was like the third season of the year. All right. Well, we're back. I guess it depends how you look at it. Yeah. It's good to be back, boys. I was clamoring. We missed you. Our people missed you too. On our final day, I looked at Sally and I said, we don't need anymore. I am satiated. There's a subreddit thread about how much they missed you basically. Yeah. I need that. I need the reddit to let I haven't taken a sick day in forever. I went back and looked because I keep a calendar. I haven't taken a sick

Starting point is 00:27:30 day in forever. So I like I've been kind of a dog when it comes to my sickness. I'm down with this sickness. Right. That being said, both my boys are throwing up right now. So let's hope I don't get that stomach bug like throwing up gang signs or something. I don't know. It's possible that you know that they were drinking while I was't get that stomach bug. Like throwing up gang signs or something? I don't know. It's possible that they were drinking while I was gone as that's what kids do when their parents leave town.

Starting point is 00:27:51 But I don't know how they would procure the alcohol. And I also don't know if my, actually maybe that's why they're hung over cause they don't know how to mix their drinks yet. It's true. I think you can, the younger you are, the better you kick back from hangovers. Like you can't be on day three.

Starting point is 00:28:04 That's true. I don't have anything else on Italy. OK, unless you have questions. But yeah, it was it was a great trip. Lake Como. If someone reached out to me and they said, hey, we're planning our honeymoon. If you had to pick between Amalfi and Lake Como, which one are you doing? And I said they're both elite. But Como for me was the ticket.

Starting point is 00:28:21 Did I see that Harry went to Capri? They might have done like a boat. They did a boat tour around there. Okay. Yeah. And so, but they were chilling up in a town called Ravello. I've never done Como. It's on my list. We priced out Capri. Capri is the best place I've ever been to on this planet. Did you stay on Capri? I did. The prices of everything there were jarring. So Anna Capri is like not the main part of Capri. It sounds like a Maxim girl today. It's like a short, it's like a short taxi right away, but it's on the same island. But we spent, we did the whole island. It was so sick. We went by it on a bow day and I was like, man, that would be sick to stay there. But yeah, when we looked at

Starting point is 00:29:00 it, it was like during the time we were going and everything, it was like, yeah, that ain't going to happen. Very ritzy. Yeah. Yeah. It looked like it. But yeah, it was, it was good. It was good. Tracking your steps. Uh, I didn't, I didn't track them.

Starting point is 00:29:13 I was, we were getting steps in. We were getting steps in. I was trying, it was hot, man. I was so dehydrated the first half of the trip, probably from the Negroni's, but also like they just don't have water over there. Like, they're just not hooking it up with water. Really. They just don't have water? You know in Rome they have those natural fountains

Starting point is 00:29:31 all over the place and they're so cool. You just ask for a water bottle and they give you like a little tiny guy and you're like, I'm supposed to get hydrated off this six ounces of water? That ain't it. No, no. Aqueducts.

Starting point is 00:29:40 What was up with the suit? Last I knew from you, you were going with the same green suit. What happened? You had a... I pivoted. Yeah. I used my... I only have two suits.

Starting point is 00:29:50 So yeah, I pivoted. I wore my cream suit. You used new suit goofing. Yeah, I had to do it to him. I need to go get all my... I got eight rolls of film I got to get developed at lunch today. It's a lot of film. It's a lot of film.

Starting point is 00:30:02 Let's go to space. Space bar, space bar. We need to make an actual theme song for this. Time for that motherfucking space bar. We've got two space bars today Dave. Now this segment is about either something bar related or space related. These are both about space. Don't we have a theme song? Dude, but famously one day it was both. That was a crazy day. People are still talking about it. The first one is kind of a follow up story on the Boeing Starliner that is like has malfunctioned and is kind of broken. It is currently docked up to the, don't make a joke Dave, it docked up to the ISS, the

Starting point is 00:30:41 International Space Station. And it is, they can't bring it back because it's broken, like I said. So, yeah, they're taking a ride back with a SpaceX something or other at some point. But they're gonna be there till the next year, by the way. That's insane. They're there for like many more months. Kind of sucks. Did y'all know that? My wife would kill me. They can't bring them back until like January or February of next year. How much do you miss your absolute boys when you're stuck in space? They're missing football season, right? Didn't they, they can watch?

Starting point is 00:31:10 Did they get updates? Surely. Are they watching on like ESPN Gamecast, just refreshing? They can't communicate with earth. So they'll probably get updates. So they have internet? Starlink. You gotta think, yeah.

Starting point is 00:31:21 Anyway, here's the situation. They're up there and Butch, one of the astronauts that is stuck in on the ISS. He noticed some strange sounds coming from the Boeing Star Liner. And he communicated that back to Earth and he recorded the sounds and we're just going to listen to it here. There's a there's a full clip Randy's about to play. Houston on two, got a question about Starliner.

Starting point is 00:31:49 Houston's with you, but you go ahead. There's a strange noise coming through the speaker and I didn't know if you could connect into the Starliner and let me keep my eye on it here. I don't know what's making it, but I know there's something that's maybe connected between here and there making that happen, but anyway, can you do that? We can configure that butch. Give us a minute and I'll call you back when it's ready. Okay. Station, Houston on two, we're configured for audio via hardline and CST if you want to give us a call. Okay, I'm at Starliner and how do you read?

Starting point is 00:32:22 Five by five, how me? I'm okay, I'm going to put my key to mic up next to the speaker. Copy. Hear that? Negative Butch, we did not hear anything. That's it. Alright Butch, that one came through. It was kind of like a pulsing noise, almost like a sonar ping.

Starting point is 00:32:44 I'll do it one more time and I'll scratch your head to see if you can figure out what's going on. It was kind of like a pulsing noise, almost like a sonar ping. I'll do it one more time and I'll scratch your head to see if you figure out what's going on. Here we go. I kind of fuck with it. Yeah. Who's going to drop a beat with this? That's pretty good. Has it been named yet?

Starting point is 00:33:03 What? Like with some other noise? Yeah. Man. Like that guy's a good recording. Like the mummy. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm

Starting point is 00:33:09 not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm

Starting point is 00:33:15 not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not

Starting point is 00:33:20 sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I other weird thing? I'm I'm very confused. It's aliens, probably, right? No, I don't know what it is.

Starting point is 00:33:29 What day what you got? No, I'm just I'm confused. I why wouldn't I don't know. It feels like it should be like very easy to tell you. I would that's this like because that's like a very but like they that no one said anything. It's confusing to an astronaut and then they're communicating it back to Houston

Starting point is 00:33:47 and they don't immediately know what it is, it definitely raises an eyebrow. It's a little unsettling. Yeah, it's interesting. Do you think he's just... Let's hear it. You think somebody's in another room, the headboards? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:34:00 Yeah. Sex is not, there's no rule against it, but it is discouraged. And I feel like if there's sex going down, like butchers involved. He's up there for months. He's got to- I think they have to.

Starting point is 00:34:12 Like, I think you just got to switch your, whatever it is, your hall pass, just be like, you get the situation. Hey babe, listen, I'm up here. You're like whispering, like, I don't want to do it but like come on six months freaking out freaking out yeah I don't know it's crazy it's interesting this is a bowing John right it's a bowing

Starting point is 00:34:34 John it makes it even better it's probably just the bowing just getting ready to explode it's just the door falling off the bowing broke they can't take it back to earth that's just a whistleblower about to get uh got why don't they just the the the bowling broke. They can't take it back to Earth. That's just a a whistleblower about to get got. Why don't they just throw all their weight to one side of it and see if it

Starting point is 00:34:53 moves towards Earth? Okay. So, okay. Yeah. Um you gotta think it would if that did work, it would move very slowly. Have they tried restarting the dashboard? Are they back together? They have a bunch of rice up there. I'm so, I never went through a dashboard phase. I was soft and pretty emo at some point,

Starting point is 00:35:14 but like I never got there. I'll tell you somebody who I've heard singing it, he's sitting out there right now. Oh, Brent would be a dad. And maybe this guy too. Yeah, Randy, I could see Randy just only liking the hits. Did you dabble? Yeah. Like Vindicated, that's like liking the hits. Did you dabble? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:35:25 Like Vindicated. That's like the only song I think I really know about them. I respect dashboard people, but like it just wasn't for me. I'm not really familiar with their work. It's pretty whiny. I'm out. Yeah. It's a little hot pie. Okay. Stop. Okay. That's a little hot pie. Okay, stop. Okay, that's a good one.

Starting point is 00:35:47 That's a good rep. What are the whiny girls up to right now? Dude, they had too much wine last night. They're not coming into work today. That was Will. That was Will in Milan. I didn't, oh no, no, no. Zero hangovers in Lake Como, Milan.

Starting point is 00:36:01 Hey, you really don't get hungover. You have to really try to get hungover. So dude, that was my theory. I was like, the night that I was, or the morning that I was the most hungover, the night before, we had been drinking a lot of wine. And the night before, I was like, I should be fine tomorrow.

Starting point is 00:36:17 Everyone says you're fine. Spoiler, he was not. Well, you mixed it with four Negronis. That was your problem. Yeah. They were putting red wine in the Negronis, little red wine floater. For real? Yeah, I wouldn't recommend. the I'm gonna say God. Nice guy, nice gal. She was drinking rose, I believe it was rose with fresh jalapeno chopped up in it. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:36:49 And I tried it. Wasn't for me. I've never had it. I know that it is a popular thing that some people are doing. I think we're over-spicing our drinks. I think we're putting too much jalapeno in drinks at this point.

Starting point is 00:37:02 We're spicing the rose. I went through like a two year phase of loving it. Like, oh, I love a spicy margarita, but now I'm like, no, I don't want to have a hot mouth after drinking Margs. I don't want to be hung over with heartburn. Yeah, I don't need like, and you know those bartenders leaving a bunch of seeds in there. Oh yeah.

Starting point is 00:37:17 That's gonna be a rumble in the jungle the next day. I'll tell you what, I'm not on spicy drinks. It's Ria time. Here it is. Here it is. Do we need to be worried about this asteroid hitting Earth? Okay, the second space story comes to us from outer space, Dave. Interesting.

Starting point is 00:37:33 Yeah, an asteroid is hitting Earth this afternoon. Dude, it's really big, right? It's three feet in diameter. Jesus Christ. I'm sorry, yeah, diameter. We're talking about like something like that, about three feet. It's only considered lethal if it's three feet in diameter. Jesus Christ. I'm sorry, yeah, diameter. We're talking about like something like that, about three feet. It's only considered lethal if it's 60 feet.

Starting point is 00:37:49 So don't worry about this, all right? The atmosphere is gonna burn it up. It's gonna hit. Hold on, so how big is this one? Three feet. I don't know, I think that might kill me if it hits me from a... Well, it's gonna break up.

Starting point is 00:38:02 It's gonna mostly burn up and break up and it's gonna fall over the Philippines. It's like a dashboard confessional it's not considered to have the asteroid break up it's not considered to be a direct threat okay but it will create quite a fireball in the sky if you are in the philippines it's gonna it'll be just past midnight in the philippines when it when it hits it'd be tight to have a piece of an asteroid that hit earth aren't they like crazy valuable if you can find one? Probably. You all see the lady in like, I forget the country, who was using like this valuable

Starting point is 00:38:31 piece of metal for a doorstop for the last year. Not last year, for like ever. It's a $1 million like piece of rock, really rare or some rare substance. Did she know this? She didn't know it and somehow they figured it out. That's crazy. Yeah. What? That's a flex though, having a $1 million doorstop.

Starting point is 00:38:51 What kind of metal? Dog, I'm not sure. Okay. Remember the last, remember on exactly five minutes when we were tasked with naming the periodic table? We did really well. Yeah, we got 12. I found an asteroid one time that was about like that.

Starting point is 00:39:06 And I was like, this is crazy. I was traveling across the country and I brought it in to get, you know, to a geologist and sort of figure it out. Turned out it was just pooped from the airplane. What? Is that Joe Dirt reference? Thanks, Randy. I thought it was from a Dave Matthews tour bus. No.

Starting point is 00:39:24 No. Come on. That's the anniversary that's coming up. Joe Dirt? Yeah, right there. What? Thanks for having me. I thought it was from Dave Matthews tour bus. Hey. No. Come on. That's the anniversary that's coming up. Joe Dirt. Yeah, right did. What? Yeah, was that yesterday?

Starting point is 00:39:30 It was a couple weeks ago. Anyway, no, I like whoever had the take in the office that there isn't a actual anniversary because it's every three months you hear about it. If you're in the Philippines, you want to see a cool show tonight, late tonight, stay up. That's really small. If you're a Filipino backer and you get a piece show tonight, late tonight. Stay up, it's really small. If you're a Filipino backer and you get a piece of this,

Starting point is 00:39:50 break some off for the squad. Yeah, break us off a little piece. Just a little piece. We're not greedy, we don't like the whole thing. If you have a asteroid that makes, a lot of it breaks up, but it makes it to Earth, makes it through the atmosphere, lands on the ground. How long do you have to wait for you can touch it?

Starting point is 00:40:06 I would assume because it's so hot. Oh, but radiation, heat, all the, all the above. Is it radioactive? Here's what you do though, Dave. Has to be. You get some a five Wagyu and you just toss it on that bitch. Oh really? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:40:19 And then you pay like, I don't know, $39 for it. Put that John up. And it's just okay. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's, it's still good, but it's not even close to being the best thing on the menu. Like you kind of, afterward you're like, I probably could have utilized that money elsewhere.

Starting point is 00:40:32 Wait, wait, I should have had these world-class chefs cook the meat instead of me doing it at my table. Wow, that's great. But you get to pay more because you do it. Yeah. So it's kind of added bonus. Yeah, anyway, that concludes the space bar. You know what fall it might be?

Starting point is 00:40:50 Actually, maybe this is more of a winter thing. I didn't know that they did this table side. Cherry's Jubilee. I did know that. I didn't freak with the vision until I saw it was table side. I watched the holdovers and yeah, they order it. And now I need to get some table side cherries jubilee.

Starting point is 00:41:06 I think I've ever had that. Me neither, man. They use brandy in it. Not a big cherry guy. Not the singer. Do not. No, too sweet. Okay.

Starting point is 00:41:15 Too sweet for my taste. I like them. But I'm also from Northern Michigan where the cherries grow like crazy. We're known for them up there. I do not know that. You guys wanna go to the cherry festival next summer? No. I do.

Starting point is 00:41:25 They've got the, that's where they have like the Abraham Lincoln thing, right? Cause that's where he cut down the cherry tree. Cherry trees. Yeah. Pretty cool. What dude? You always got something. What is it, Randy? Pretty sure George Washington was the one.

Starting point is 00:41:39 Okay, Mr. Revisionist History. Historian over here. Okay, nerd. Jesus. Cool, dude. Go here for our friends over at Shopify. Yes, Mr. Revisionist History. Historian over here. Yeah, okay, nerd. Jesus. Cool, dude. Go here for our friends over at Shopify. Yes, please. I freak with Shopify.

Starting point is 00:41:49 Y'all should too. A lot of other companies do as well. You ever heard of Allbirds? Skims? Come on. Like, sure, you guys might think of like a product, a cool brand, brilliant marketing, but you guys don't look under the hood that often

Starting point is 00:42:02 and realize that Shopify's running straight up everything these days. Ever heard of The Washed Shop? Yeah, if you guys don't look under the hood that often and realize that Shopify is running straight up everything these days. Ever heard of the Washed Shop? Yeah. If you've ordered something from thewashedmedia.shop shop, just know that it's a Shopify order that you're placing. Nobody does selling better than Shopify.

Well, you slept much more than this guy did.

Starting point is 00:43:25 Yeah, but I feel pretty well rested. So there's this Japanese man, Randy. Do you meet this guy? I don't believe so. Why didn't you ask him to come on the pod? Because I didn't meet him. Randy, put the pick up. He is also a bodybuilder,

Starting point is 00:43:45 by the way. His goal is to double his lifespan. Okay, double it. And he's doing this by sleeping only 30 minutes a day. I've always been told that sleep is like really conducive to good health. Typically. So the mainstream media wants you to believe why even do why even sleep if you're only doing 30. His key to staying awake He says as long as you

Starting point is 00:44:08 Do sports I think he means exercise here is not like do exercise Do that sounds like something I'd say or drink coffee an hour before eating you can stave off drowsiness. I mean Okay, so before it's time to eat you either drink coffee an hour before or do sports, AKA workout, exercise. This is doing three and a half hours of sleep a week. Right, think about all that free time. It's like the dude, I saw some hustle grind guy talking about how he actually has three days in one

Starting point is 00:44:41 because he splits his days up into eight hour chunks. I saw that too. Yeah, I was like, okay, so you're just doing three days in one because he splits his days up into eight hour chunks. Yeah. I was like, okay, so you're just doing the exact same thing that everyone does? This can't be good for you. No. How is he so healthy? If Brian Johnson's not doing it, I'm not doing it. He's in phenomenal shape.

Starting point is 00:44:57 Might need to see the booty though. Like phenomenal shape. There is a photo of the booty if you're looking for it. Oh yeah, there it is. 30 minutes of sleep. I dated someone at some point in my life who once said that Einstein would sleep for 30 minutes and that would like, would like, uh, take 30 minute naps throughout the day and that's how he slept. And then I looked it up and it wasn't true at all.

Starting point is 00:45:20 Okay. I was like, uh, that was inaccurate. I do think that there's a way to supplement like very little like actual sleep with a bunch of naps throughout the day and stuff, but I just don't think I have it like that. This goes against everything I've ever heard about sleep and how important it is to get plenty of it. It's very good for you to sleep.

Starting point is 00:45:36 I read a book about sleep. It was way over my head, but what I got from it is that there is no situation where getting too much sleep is a bad thing for you. Right. I always thought sleep is very good for you. You guys are right in Big Pillow's hand. Big Pillow. Big Pillow.

Starting point is 00:45:52 Okay, I don't think that's what's at play here. Will had a pillow menu. Yeah, did you all see my pillow menu on That's a Nice Touch? That's pretty sick. What'd you go with? Well, they were out of one of the pillows that I wanted, David, so I gave it to my wife. I wanted that duck feather extra stiff.

Starting point is 00:46:11 Okay. And yeah, they only had one, but I did get the cedarwood scent on it. Couldn't smell it. Duck feather. I guess, man. Part of me was like, do they just call ducks or geese ducks over here? Is this just a lost in translation thing? Okay. What's our man doing in this photo? Yeah, this is the photo. This is really why we're doing it, I think. Yeah. What's he doing here? Look, this is pure Japanese

Starting point is 00:46:39 optimization. If anyone's going to do it, it's them. This is not Brian Johnson hooking up electrodes to your your dong. This is a guy who wants to find the best way to utilize his time. And he's gonna do this. This guy grinds so much different than me. I don't want to be awake for 23 and a half hours a day. Just gonna be on Twitter. Not much. Yeah, right. Like, that's like, that's so, like you got too much time on your hands, dude.

Starting point is 00:47:07 I get sick of the day after when I'm like eight hours. They're like, man, I just want to go to bed. Can you imagine him the night before Christmas? Like he doesn't even care. He's like, whatever, it's in 30 minutes. But Dylan, imagine like watching a full movie in one sitting if you don't have to sleep. Okay.

Starting point is 00:47:20 This guy could knock out an entire season of Lost in a day. Maybe he's onto something. This is could knock out an entire season of Lost in a day. Maybe he's onto something. This is just a binge play. I mean, he looks fantastic. He does look fantastic. Maybe he's onto something. Let's... Sorry. I don't want my podcasting legs underneath me. Why don't we all do it? Let's do the 30 minute sleep challenge for where you can see how we all act towards each other. I think I could get away with five hours a night who'd be the worst in the office with 30 minutes of sleep a night Uh, definitely this guy have you ever heard him after a weekend? Yeah, that's true. That's a difference That's that's other contributing randy's gonna be down bad. I think dylan gets like grumpy. Yeah, i'll be very grumpy I'd be loopy. I get grumpier from being hungry

Starting point is 00:48:06 and tired though. You're always a little loopy. You didn't see me when I was after Japan. I was pretty loopy in the office here. I bet you did fine. I'm worried about this afternoon after I got up at 4 a.m today. I'm just on Italian time. Oh, prego. Surprised you didn't give yourself a buffer day. No, we assumed yesterday was a buffer day. The reason I came back yesterday, the reason we came back yesterday was because the flights were like half the price.

Starting point is 00:48:36 But then I was sitting in the airport yesterday, I was like, this was a fucking mistake. Should have just fucking come back the day before. No, I don't do buffer day. If I do a buffer day, then that means I come back on a Saturday so I can recharge on Sunday. And I think that's a great move, especially when you have kids. Randy did a buffer day and I respected it.

Starting point is 00:48:55 Yeah. I always do a buffer day. Yeah. Doing a buffer day is good. No, no. I wanted to be back in the office yesterday, if I'm being straight up honest. I would have, I wanted to sign on on the airplane, but the wifi was not not working. I wish I could have just I couldn't even sleep on the airplane. I wish I would just had a liquid death yeti casket that I could have laid in the entire time. Oh man.

Starting point is 00:49:15 Did anyone ask for this? And also if they're doing custom casket coolers like why don't we have one? Like we've been standing these things for a long time okay this thing is it actually available for purchase and if so is it like ten thousand dollars oh okay here we go this would go well at a tailgate it took two months to create the single there's only one of them casket cooler which will be auctioned off beginning at noon oh this was this was last week bidding started at fifteen1,500. So we can't expense it? Is what you're saying? I think it's already been purchased. The auction has concluded. Fuck! But we've been talking about the Yeti coffin forever.

Starting point is 00:49:53 But that wasn't the official name of it. We just, people just called that because you can lay down inside of it if you're like five feet tall. Dude, they got to toss some Salt Life stickers on this bitch. Things the Yeti 350. Some Sims fly fishing stickers. But this one is a, this is a bigger, this is a big boy. And it looks just like a casket. And then with the come and take it. This is my most sent to me item of 2024. I've been tagged in this.

Starting point is 00:50:19 We collectively, I think, circling back, have sent this a number of times. And you know what? I don't know if we invented the Yeti coffin, but we were definitely early adopters of it. Collectively, I think circling back had sent this a number of times and you know what? I don't know if we invented the Yeti coffin, but we were definitely early adopters of it We were we were I mean if you want to talk about something that's pissing me off. Um This whole vortex bottle thing has gotten a lot of legs And I don't like that

Starting point is 00:50:43 Like old rose running with it right now. Well, why don't you get a tat? I don't like that these young college kids and these burner accounts are trying to pretend like they actually had a fucking vortex bottle in their life. Don't act like you remember vortex bottles if you've got a burner account and you're going to fucking UGA.

Starting point is 00:51:01 I haven't noticed that on Twitter as I'm still blocked by all the old row accounts. I had to go to a different account that I have in order to go see it because so many people were sending me the Vortex bottle stuff that I was like, okay, I think this might be on old row. And sure enough, I went and yeah, it was that. Why don't you go to that fridge right now,

Starting point is 00:51:18 reach in the back, grab that Vortex bottle, come over here on camera and drink that fucker. I only have one event where I want to drink this Vortex bottle and I don here on camera and drink that fucker. I only have one event where I want to drink this Vortex bottle and I don't know if it's actually gonna happen. And so I need to come up with a list of other events where I'm willing to drink the Vortex bottle. Let's go out this weekend,

Starting point is 00:51:33 there's a crazy event happening. Should I drink it when Texas beats Michigan? Maybe. If Texas wins the, okay, if Texas wins the national championship, I'll drink the Vortex bottle. All right, well, okay. My other one is if we have a third kid,

Starting point is 00:51:44 I'll drink it in the hospital. Those are the only two. All right. Well, okay. My other one is if we have a third kid, I'll drink it in the hospital. Those are the only two. Right now. Yeah. Okay. That's a good idea. Cause if there's like a repercussion from drinking a 30 year old beer. Yeah, you're already in the hospital.

Starting point is 00:51:54 There you go. I did read some stuff about not drinking the vortex bottles, uh, as they probably taste terrible, but honestly that's something I'm willing to do. Is there a date on that bottle? Do we know how old it actually is? They do have it expired by on most Miller lights. I haven't looked at it. You got to think the Triple Hops brew extends it a little bit though.

Starting point is 00:52:09 Who was doing the born on date? Wasn't that like an addition to beers? Like, Oh, you got your born on here and it changed everything. Like no one looked at it. That was a good bit. That was, what was that? Coors like that was Anheuser-Busch. Budweiser's.

Starting point is 00:52:24 Yeah. I know when me and the boys, my absolutes are just sitting down to drink some beers, we're like, we're checking the bottle. Like, yup. Yeah. This is like two months ago, dude. I'm gonna crack one. I'm gonna crack two.

Starting point is 00:52:38 It just pisses me off when I see like these, these 22 year olds trying to say that we need to bring back vortex bottles. Is the original vortex guy. As if they even know what it feels like to have a beer sprayed down your throat. Just shoots down. They have no clue how quickly they could indulge that thing. They don't know, dude. God, do you have any gluggers in Italy?

Starting point is 00:52:59 Yeah, I had a couple of glugs. I had a couple of gluggers. I had a couple of glugs. I had a couple of glug dogs. I saw a glugger on my camera roll when I was looking for something for Instagram and I was like, I bet Will's got a big old glugger right now. Yeah, I laid off the wine after the wedding night.

Starting point is 00:53:15 Yeah. But it did feel good to have some gluggers go down on the wedding night. You have to. You have to. You had to. Man, I've been drinking so many Miller Lights, they've been calling me a draft King.

This is all about business. What? I did the wrong thing. Randy, take that out. I'm going to fade it out. I'm going to fade it out so we can do the right one.

Starting point is 00:56:00 That's on me. See, it's not all just funny games here. I mean, I think it still works. Whatever. This is a TV story. Is it touching based? Let's talk touching based Guys remember Vladimir? I do. I do. He's dead, bro Bro, he died. It's dead. What happened to Vlad? He got got man. Um per NPR beloved Russian spy whale Vladimir is found dead under mysterious circumstances. You got to wonder what's going on in the ocean. Yeah. Pollution. I wonder that often. Says Vladimir, beloved whale believed to have

Starting point is 00:56:37 escaped a past life as a Russian spy was found dead over the weekend in an animal in what animal rights organizations say were unnatural circumstances the beluga whose name combines the Norwegian word for whale hall and Russian pleasant air president Vladimir Putin's name Rose to international prominence after he was discovered by fishermen off the coast of Norway in 2019 wearing a camera harness that read equipment st. Petersburg That's so sick I mean sad but sick at the same time.

Starting point is 00:57:08 Yeah, it's kind of sick, kind of sad. You know? It's like, it's kind of like how we have a lot of fun, a lot of rowdiness. You do it to a scale. Yeah. Sally had never seen that video before. Yeah, what'd she think?

Starting point is 00:57:22 So we were on the Too Much Dib game day post and I was like, and I showed her and I was like, I showed her and she was like, I don't even know what that is. And I was just like, you've never seen this? Oh my God. Like I knew, my buddies and I were laughing about this before I even like moved to Texas and cared about A&M. She's never ultimately tailgated.

Starting point is 00:57:36 She clearly wasn't checking totalfratmove.com enough. The guy was so electric. She's never had a Bud Light Lime in College Station. Do we know how he died? Gunshot. Two to the head. It says this morning after receiving a sighting report from a local, our team arrived to have found Vladimir floating peacefully in the water. It is not immediately clear what caused his death. An acrosy will be conducted to determine his early passing. Dude, the Wikipedia says gunshot wounds. Dude, if anyone shot that, that is like, that's fucked. That's a gentle whale.

Starting point is 00:58:16 Yeah, KGB, man. Yeah. Also the cutest whale of Beluga, for sure. Blood in, blood out, no? Were they trying to get his caviar? Can you caviar a beluga? Is a beluga like the main caviar? I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. Is it caviar or fish eggs?

Starting point is 00:58:39 I don't think those come from beluga whales. The whales are mammals. I always just assumed it was whales because it's beluga fish. And I don't know anything beluga. Remember that video? There's beluga caviar. No, you guys are right.

Starting point is 00:58:48 You guys are right. I don't like, I famously don't like caviar. It's too salty. You remember that video that hit the internet a while ago showing how much caviar is, I forgot what kind of fish it was, but it was a huge fish. They cut it open and it was like, Yeah.

Starting point is 00:59:01 Like a truck bed. It makes you wonder why it costs so much. It's like, holy shit. Yeah, why does it cost so much? They were like wheel-bearing it out of there. It was insane. It's from Beluga Sturgeon. Yeah, I think a Sturgeon is what I saw get cut open.

Starting point is 00:59:14 It's obviously from the Caspian Sea. Did Will just have a chicken of the sea moment? I guess I did, yeah. Call me Jessica Simpson. Do they think Vladimir's the one who blew up the Nord Stream pipeline potentially or? Possibly. All I know is he got burned and as soon as he got burned. He blew up our pipeline. 888-618-4422. Thank you.

Starting point is 00:59:36 Recording today actually. Still time. I'm going to have to get another coffee before this afternoon recording. I'm going to need a Lucy. We can probably make that happen for you. Because usually at this time I'm gonna need a Lucy. We can probably make that happen for you. Cause like usually at this time, I'm like, you know, having an aperitivo. Ooh, did you have any grappa? I had no grappa. I did have one lemon cello after my pizza.

Starting point is 00:59:56 The waitress was very kind to us and she was being great. So she offered the lemon cello and I said, let's do it. I did have a lemon cello spritz. It was fine. Did they ask where you're from? And did they kind of get a little excited when they find out Texas? Yes.

Starting point is 01:00:10 I found that that's a very big player. They were so excited. They all think Texas rules. Yeah. What you told one waiter and he goes, oh, I want to live there. It seems so relaxed there. And I was like, are you looking around

Starting point is 01:00:20 at where you live right now? You live in Lake Como, my man. Like what? Don't move to Texas. Yeah, you should move to McKinney. I know, but dude, you check out Frisco. I'll take us away. Like we saw it over target.

Starting point is 01:00:35 Like everything is cooler over there because you know you're in Italy. And like, it probably feels like that for people when they visit the United States. I think there's still a large portion of Europe and maybe like other parts of the world that just kind of assume there's still like heavy cowboy culture here. So like they like, fuck me and dudes are just riding their horse and stuff.

Starting point is 01:00:53 I have to say it felt really good to be on American roads that are wide and it felt even better to get into a large SUV and just drive. Everything over there is so tiny on the roads. I get it. The video I referenced is, they took it down from Twitter. Wow, big caviar took it down? Yeah, it's insane. You gotta wonder what's going on. Are whales are dying?

Starting point is 01:01:22 Are they trying to kill all the whales so there's no more caviar, Randy? That actually, apparently the Soviet Union killed a lot of whales back in the day. Why? What's their problem? Just because. That's an unnecessary flag.

Starting point is 01:01:36 A lot of blubber. Yeah, there's a lot of blub. What are you supposed to do with the blubber? Eat it. Shout out Robin Williams. It's just healthy fats. Blubber, that should be a movie. We do have the stream. No, no. What was our biggest stream room miss? Major League?

Starting point is 01:01:53 Yeah, I think that's it's in the misses. It's in the misses. No, there was one that was better though that we were like, oh, that that would have been ripe. I've been saying we should do the what's the Franco Seth Rogen movie. The interview. Yeah, we should do that. what's the Franco Seth Rogen movie? The interview? Yeah, we should do that. You should just watch it. Watch it one single time.

Starting point is 01:02:10 I'm so annoyed with you that you haven't watched it. No, Dave, dude, I don't think Dave does this intentionally, but if you recommend Slane today, he slow plays it for like a long time. He wants you checking in on him. Hey man. What's up dude? I'm watching Lost.

Starting point is 01:02:24 You don't need to- Get off of Lost. Stop watching Lost. Get off it. Hey man. What's up dude? I'm watching Lost. You don't get off of Lost. Stop watching Lost. Get off it. Can't, it's unnecessary. That's true. I've never recommended Dave anything, but if he like comes to me like, I'm thinking about watching this show.

Starting point is 01:02:34 And I'm like, yeah, then he'll watch it. But if I tell him to watch something, I'll never do it. Can't tell me nothing. I've been telling Dave to watch Snake Eyes starring Nick Cage and Greg Kinnear for a long time. Okay, that's one time out. You got to remind me that. The interview, I do have it on my phone. It is such a Dave Ruff movie, dude. It's a shooting at a prize fight, like a heavyweight bout. Okay. And it's just all how they figure it out. It's great.

Starting point is 01:03:03 It's a whodunit. Yeah. The person who did it will shock you. A real gumshoe. Mm-hmm. All right, this poor fucking beluga. Rest in peace, Vladimir. Hmm, it's a shame, man. Bro, you shouldn't shoot whales.

Starting point is 01:03:19 There's a crazy event happening. I'll go sign that. Bro, bro, bro, there's a crazy event happening. Let's just go have fun and let go ofin-it. Daily Woodrollers, let's go.

Please don't do that. If we actually get to talk to him, he's going to be, he's going to be like, can you please talk to me about something else that I've done in my music career besides play with Grateful Dead for a couple of years? Like, please, just anything besides that. We're going to have to talk about it.

Starting point is 01:06:43 But they're gonna have to bend to my football watching schedule because I will be watching Texas travel up to the big house, take on Will's former Michigan Wolverines. His Texas Longhorns. It's going to be tough for me. It's going to be a tough one. The Michigan Faithful could easily come at my neck. Feeling good about the game.

Starting point is 01:07:02 Don't show your face in the UP, that's all I'm saying. We'd love to link with you guys to watch the game if that's something that- They're more state fans, I think, up there. That's something you're open to. Do what? We'll love to link maybe and watch this game together. It'd be fun.

Starting point is 01:07:12 Yeah, I mean, currently I have no plans for the game. That does not mean that my wife has not already made plans for me. Right. I need to wade through those waters eventually. Yeah, my Saturday's to be about hanging out with a little guy and his friend who's probably going to come over for a sleepover.

Starting point is 01:07:28 And we're going to probably go swimming and watch some football. Is his friend chill? Yeah. Yeah, he's chill. He's a good kid. What's his chill to watch? All his friends are good kids, man.

Starting point is 01:07:37 Four to five. Oh, that's good. Yeah, it's pretty solid. Where's the other one? And yes, Sunday is wide open watching watching NFL, most likely. Hey now. Week one, NFL. It's football season, baby. It's gonna get cooler on Sunday. I'm really excited for that as well. Not that much cooler though. Bitch. Fall's here, man. We got low.

Starting point is 01:08:02 It felt so good to get into town yesterday and have a temperature that wasn't 100 and like fall feeling rain. It just felt amazing to return to that. I was not looking forward to coming back to, oh man, the Lions are playing Tom Brady first, playing the Buccaneers. That's not it, that's not it. He's retired, he'll actually be in the booths.

Starting point is 01:08:19 Warren Sapp. No, it's been many years. That concludes my weekend in fun. Dave, how about yours? I want Will to keep going through the schedule here. You don't want me to keep naming. Mike Allstott. Yeah, Allstott was next. Okay. Who's the other running back? I know he's a fullback. They had another running back. Who's baller? Maybe that was just in my eyes. Dave, what are you doing this weekend? I'm trying to, I'm gonna be

Starting point is 01:08:43 thinking of Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Man, I just looked at my phone. There's a chance I am in San Marcos Saturday. Really? We give you a chance to talk about Rooker. Yeah. Yeah, you know. Oh, work done. Hard to get a hard to get a word in on this pod. Work done.

Built like, I believe he used a lot of his money to build homes for the unfortunate, less fortunate people. That's what's up.

Starting point is 01:09:13 Yeah. Was it Hoyer, a buccaneer? Brian Hoyer? I think so. What? Before he was a bear. Shut up, Randy. Yeah, when people think buccaneers,

Starting point is 01:09:23 they think Brian Hoyer. Hold on. We need to confirm this please. I mean, just a, just one of the best backup careers you can imagine. Um, what are you fighting Dave? I don't know. Randy, Randy, he was on a number of teams. Somehow I think the bucks were one of them.

Starting point is 01:09:55 They did have that ball dude though. Didn't Trent Dilfer, when I'm a super bowl with like the worst QB performance ever until Peyton Manning won a Superbowl. That's something like that. Randy, he was on like seven different teams. Maybe I'm thinking of a different guy. Of all the Buccadeers you could have named, well, you didn't actually name Brian Hoyer. Hit him with the Hoyer.

Starting point is 01:10:13 Not Hoyer, someone else. I'm sorry. I just, I didn't think I'd be talking about Brian Hoyer and circling back today, but yeah. Will's back. Can we hear about Rook Dog?

And he's like, Hey, I'll put you on a batting practice list.

Starting point is 01:11:09 I was like, I didn't know that was a thing. So, uh, it's a good list to be on. It's a good list. So you got to hit BP. They, they, they, they let me throw the road. So they let you throw the roads that I threw my, I rolled my son into a ball. And I just rolled them under the, uh, no, it's really, really silly. How did you not get a first pitch, dude?

Starting point is 01:11:27 I have no desire to throw a first pitch in a ranger game. That's reserved for like, dude, perfect. I didn't even get to do it. Dude, I hung out with Trashy P, Lucas, Dolan Gowski. Oh, that's right. Yeah. In Florence. That's right. He confirmed that if we can absolutely throw out a first pitch. He's also going to the New York meetup. He and I famously over in Negroni. Did not remember saying goodbye to him.

Starting point is 01:11:52 You blocked out. Had a really good time. Maybe I'll kiss at the end of the night you don't remember. I don't know. Sally took a pretty baller photo of us. Yeah, it was sick. What are you doing this weekend, David? So again, we just watched a little BP got a Rhodes first autograph first

Starting point is 01:12:08 major league ball player he's ever met. That's a, that's Brent Rooker. Go follow him on the Soch. Ball knowers now. Oh yeah. Preceded to just absolutely put up numbers against the Rangers. Went off. You just doing the Larry David. Just hitting, hitting piss missiles and you're just, okay, this is fun.

Starting point is 01:12:28 But my dad, Friday night, we're watching college football and you check, checking in on the Rangers, you know, whatever college football took precedent that night. And he goes, flip it over and he saw like the highlights. He goes, this is the Rooker guy, you know, hit the two home runs. I'll add some. That was it. That was it. the highlights, he goes, this is the Rooker guy you know. He hits a two home runs, I'm like, yeah, that's him. That was it. That was it. That was it. Did he tear any seams off the ball?

Starting point is 01:12:51 No, I believe the seams are still attached, lame. Kind of lame. Maybe next time. What's a big guy? What did Rhodes get signed? Baseball. Oh, that's sick. I was hoping you were gonna say that.

Starting point is 01:13:01 Baseball. Getting a hat signed is cool, but like a baseball from a pro ball player is just sick. It would have been unstable as he was wearing a Ranger cap. He's gonna play baseball with that at some point in his life when he doesn't have an extra ball. Yeah, I'm a little worried about that. And you know, the neighbors, they've got that lab.

Starting point is 01:13:18 You gotta be careful of those labs. Just like a big lab. Big lab. Yeah, I might go to San Marcos. Just for the day. Not staying the night, not doing that. Big lab. Yeah, I might go to San Marcos. Just for the day. Not staying the night, not doing that. No way. Hit the square after the game?

Starting point is 01:13:29 What do you do after a three o'clock game? Go to the square. Assuming you beat UTSA, your rival. You definitely go to the square, right? There's no guarantees when the road runners come into the stadium. UTSA is a good program. Hit the green parrot there.

Starting point is 01:13:43 I feel like Chimmy's is the play. Says the 40 year old guy. Says the 40 year old guy. Says the 40 year old guy. I'm gonna fire off a text to like the new fraternity chapter. Like, hey, is it my down to clown? Like, oh shit, D man's in town. Has anybody ever seriously said down to clown? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:14:03 Not with sincerity. Dude, no one said, did you used to say that? I had a dream about- Dude, if you're trying to get silly and goofy, yeah. I had a nightmare in Italy about Texas State KAs. Not even kidding, I woke up in a cold sweat. I had a dream that I hit a golf ball out of bounds on a course and it somehow landed in the backyard

Starting point is 01:14:22 of the Texas State Ka house. Doesn't even exist. They don't have a house. And they told me that I couldn't look for my ball, but I had found like a cracked like old Titleist. And I was like, can I just take this cracked old Titleist and play with it? And they were intimidating me.

Starting point is 01:14:35 And they said no. And then four dudes came out with assault rifles and just lit me up and I woke up in a cold sweat. This is not a real dream. I swear to God, I immediately woke up and was like, Sally, all Dave and Dylan's boys just murdered me. They just executed you on the front yard? Done.

Starting point is 01:14:49 I've never actually, I don't feel like I've ever actually gotten killed in a dream and like I straight up got murdered. Good God. I know, maybe they just killed your ego. Maybe they thought I was a dove. If you weren't such a GDI. Opening weekend. I know.

Starting point is 01:15:01 I was like, there's something else at bay here. Yeah, those are like, yeah. You uncovered some like GDI. Some trauma. I think the real question here is what are you going to do with that ball you found? Were you going to try to claim it as yours? No, I mean, I was going to take the penalty stroke, but I didn't have any balls off of my back. So I needed to play with the cracked one. Yeah. What was the old house is now going to be a STEM building. True story. And just building a Texas state STEM building. Are they naming it the Dave Ruff STEM Center?

Starting point is 01:15:31 It's a good little lot though. It's like a prime location. Just to be clear, is it not a golf course? No. Oh, okay. It is a good lot. Okay. No, but the building it's just for women in STEM.

Starting point is 01:15:40 They're calling it Dave's Dames. We're bringing the Dave's Dames back. It's good. Dave's Dames in STEM. They're calling it Dave's Dames. We're bringing the Dave's Dames back. It's good. Dave's Dames in STEM. And that's about it. You know, there might be a birthday party that Rhodes has to go to Saturday morning, but I mean, come on. I can't do that. I got to go. College football. I mean, it couldn't get here soon enough. So that's all. What about you? Nothing Friday. Saturday morning, we got just a Manchester United game that I don't want to watch at 730. Immediately following that, I'm going to take Fritz to his first soccer game. It's at the inconvenient 10am hour, which the Texas-Michigan game starts at 11.

Starting point is 01:16:21 So I think we're going to have to come in hot. I'm'm gonna have to bring a change of clothes for Fritz, man. I gotta get his UT jersey on him. Don't know what's going on for the game. We'll sort that out in the next couple of days. We'll have some talks. And outside of that, just laying low. Not trying to do too much. I would love to catch up on industry

Starting point is 01:16:38 so I can watch the new episode that comes out on Sunday night. It's been a long time since I've had appointments Sunday night television. I didn't watch House of Dragon. And so it just was not a thing. I heard this George Martin dude is just like slow playing all this writing. Yeah, he's playing that. It's hard. He's just, I heard he's writing blog posts about how they're fucking up House of the Dragon. Is he really doing that? And everyone's like, can you just write the book instead? That's a great point. Please do that. What's this guy's

Starting point is 01:17:09 deal? Hey, Sunday, I forgot to say open invite anybody. My buddy Brian's going to come over. We're going to watch the Bucks game. He used to Mike Glennon. It was Mike Glennon. Brian Hoyer was 2016. Mike Glennon was 2017. I got him mixed up. Mike Glennon was who I was thinking of. He looks like a thumb. Mike Glennon. Glennon looks like a thumb. Okay.

Starting point is 01:17:31 That's what I think about when I think about the bucks. Why there's so many. Okay. Oh, he is a weird looking fellow. He's a little earthworm Jimmy. Like tell me, tell me that here, Dave, I'm just holding my thumb. He does. Yes. He's perfect. Like tell me, tell me that here, Dave, I'm just holding my thumb. Yeah, he does. Yes, it's perfect.
