all right we're back circling back podcast it's monday my name is will defries to my right dave ruff it's master's week it is that's all you have to say it is enough said i'm putting that on a shirt wow master's week enough said a sight for sore eyes the thing about that shirt is you can only wear it one week out of the year see i would i would say you could wear it 365 if you wanted to here's the question that everyone's wondering do you keep the masters app downloaded on your phone year round or do you only download it during the masters i feel like that's a one of us has tweeted something about this like either before or after and had like a take i let it ride all year i think it just updates when

like the new masters comes around I don't have it on my phone right now, but live on the air right now. It's in my sports folder. Dude, this is monumental. I'm going to go download it. This is monumental. Shouts to Dave for wearing a 2016 Masters dad cap to the bars on Saturday. People thought it was fake.

Shouts to your boy Brady for getting me that cap. Major shouts to Brady. You know what sucks, though, about that cap? You know who won the 2016 Masters, right? Willett. Willett. How do you say his fucking name? I say Danny Willett.

Willett. That was the worst Masters Sunday in recent memory. Yeah. Not Brady's fault. I love Brady. I'm a Brady guy. Brady. But my friend Brady, his Masters career, he's taken Ls.

I couldn't imagine a worse year to have plastered on the front of a cap. The year before when he went, the only reason he got tickets the second year was because they got rained out for the practice rounds the year before. So he went all the way to Augusta, saw zero swings, and got tickets for the next year because they got rained out the first year. Wow. And then he got to see Danny Willett. Willett.

I don't know why I'm fucking that up. I thought you were doing some kind of Premier League bit. You've always had a... It's always been hard for you to properly place the emphasis

in words. Like Fort Worth? Yes. This is sad. Like pretty much everything you say. How does it only have 3.9 stars?

Because probably people get really pissed if they have like a shitty internet connection and then they take it out on the App Store. Is that what they do? That's exactly what they do. Because the Masters,

they are nearly flawless when it comes to letting people watch the Masters easily. Dude, Danny Willett hasn't done shit since that tournament, has he? He's done anything? He likes shit on America and then everyone... No, no, no, no. His brother... I think his brother did a tongue-in-cheek blog.

His brother can catch these hands. I think it was lost in translation. I feel like there was some kind of English humor in it. I'm making excuses for the guy. I feel bad for Danny. Yeah, why are you a Danny Willett fan? I'm not, but I don't. There was a period of time where he couldn't go to a tournament

without just getting absolutely flanked. Are you going to buy Danny Willett in your Calcutta this year? I already did my... I did one pick him. I'm going to do another one. I don't think I'm going to. Why? It's fun.

It's fun to have a horse out there. Okay. So this is one of those deals where it's... You pick, it's your lowest five. Yeah. And so, you know, you'll get like your group of your alphas. And it's uh you pick it's your lowest five yeah and so you know you'll get like your group of your alphas and it's like pick two and then you have your next one's pick three and then like there's a random one and it's got like bernard langer in it yeah and pick five or whatever it is

is this the best ball one on espn no they used to have a best ball one that was really fun to do. You pick four guys total, and this is some guys that are full worth. We do it differently, and it's pretty straightforward. We just do a snake draft. We pick eight golfers, and four of them have to make the cut, and it's just combined total score. So some guys get eliminated. Yeah. Here's a question, and I think I know the answer to it.

Do you enjoy watching the Masters more or Ryder Cubs more? The Masters. I think I used to be Masters, and I think I'm Ryder Cub now. I love getting up and just fucking watching Ryder Cubs. No, it's awesome. I love it. They're neck and neck. It's like, it's really hard to choose.

Maybe I like the Ryder Cup more just because it's every two two and so like i get i get a little more up for it and maybe maybe you go into the masters without us just maybe like kind of like hate the masters a little bit we had fun watching uh sergio when remember that we were in the your future sister-in-law's back house that was fun that was enjoyable and we got pf we ordered pf changs if you're not we i got a dog that day, too. That was big. That's a big Master's Sunday for you. It was a big Master's Sunday.

Hey, you should introduce Dylan. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. On that third mic right in front of me, it's Dylan Chivary. Hey, guys. Happy to be here. Beautiful day in Austin.

It's Master's Week. You know, it's also Game of Thrones Sunday, which doesn't do much for Will, but I know you're excited, Dave. I feel like that snuck up real quick. I saw a schedule. I didn't even explain what schedule I saw. But they had Game of Thrones for this week on it saying it was a big week. And I was like, oh, man.

It's here. Man, yeah. If you're into golf and Game of Thrones, it's a big weekend for you. I have to go to a wedding, so I'm going to miss some of the tournament. But I'm coming back early Sunday. Who had the balls to schedule a wedding on Masters Week? My cousin, Lane. Go ahead and call her out.

She's a... Sorry, Lane. Brady did it last year. Brady's taking out... The same Brady that had Danny Willett in rain delay. So Friday afternoon, instead of watching the golf tournament, the Masters, I will be en route to Galveston, Texas. I can watch it some on saturday

i would imagine because the wedding's at night you have the application on your phone already the application that's right hey i just wanted y'all to know the download was successful thank you thanks dave that's big so something i was going to do um i i had dinner with intern klein the other night uh we shared a pizza together it It was very cute. And I didn't realize how soon game of Thrones was coming up. And he told me, he's like, he's, cause I told him, I was like, all right, I think it might start. And he was like, I think you should wait until after just cause like the spoilers will be even more amplified. And we were going to do a bit where he was going to feed me really niche references that you could only know from game of Thrones if you watched it. And I was going to drop them mid-podcast to make people think that I'd just been watching

this entire time silently. That's trash. But it fell by the wayside. So no, I couldn't do it. We would have figured you out pretty quickly. Yeah, I would have. Like, oh, so tell us more about that. We would have pounced.

And then you would have had nothing. Correct. Okay. Correct. You're exposed. Whatever. Something I do know about is oral health. Our friends over at Quip, I mean, as you know, one of the most important things we do every

day is brush our teeth. Just this past week, I got in my refill kit. Did you guys get yours? Why did I say that British? I'm sorry. Did you guys get yours? Yours. What is wrong with you?

I don't know. Yeah, we get yours. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry. Did you guys get yours? Yours. What is wrong with you? I don't know. Yeah, we get yours. Yeah, I got mine. It comes with a new battery for your quip. And a new head for the toothbrush. And a regular toothpaste and a travel toothpaste. That's right. People don't realize this. And a new little traveling case thing.

People don't realize that the thing that sticks to your wall that holds your toothbrush off the sink so that you don't get unnecessary bacteria, it also doubles as a cover for your toothbrush when you're traveling yeah think about that it's huge yeah these toothbrush they're next level they're well designed but they also they're functional as hell they have sensitive sonic vibrations that are gentle enough on your sensitive gums i'm a noted sensitive gum boy it's such a good vibration. Good vibrations. Three out of four of the bristles,

sorry, three out of four of us use bristles that are old, worn out, ineffective. I feel like if we went to Dylan's apartment and we saw his old toothbrush, we'd be like, that is trash. Why are you calling me out? I don't know. Dylan's old toothbrush is a real opad. This is your socks.

I take my dental hygiene very seriously, thank you very much. These don't require a clunky charge or anything. They're good for three months on one charge. It declutters your sink or cabinet and makes traveling with the toothbrush way easier. I can't speak highly enough. It even has the little pauses in the vibration so that you know when you need to switch regions of the mouth. It's nice to know.

Right now, you can get your Quip for just $25 by going to getquip.com slash circlingback. Again, that's getquip.com slash circlingback. And you get your first refill pack free with your Quip electric toothbrush. That's your first refill pack free at getquip.com slash circlingback. Get your gums on fleek. That's definitely not in the copy. That was required reading. So how about this poacher?

Oh yeah, let's talk about this. This is one of those things where it's pretty impossible for us not to hear about it when like a hundred people DM you this story all at once. Well, everyone's dunking. Anytime something like this happens, you see accounts that are all over the place just scoreboarding this dead dude.

Anytime someone who's trying to kill animals, hunt animals, gets got themselves, the people love it. The story becomes a crowd favorite. Well, it's poaching, especially. I have it pulled up here. Will you read what you have pulled up, please? Explain to the folks at home what poaching is, Will.

It's illegal hunting. So you take an egg, and rather than regularly just frying it, you put it over water in like a little container. It's illegal hunting is the actual answer you're looking for there, Dave. Okay, thanks. Okay. Okay. A suspected rhino poacher. I didn't know he was going after rhinos.

Did you know that? No. That's fucked up. I didn't know that until I read the story. Did they want the horn on the... What are they called? It's a horn. They call them...

Okay, I didn't know if they had a specific name for it. I wonder if he was trying to poach one of these super rare... Like the white rhino. I think there's like three of them left. I don't think... I think he was just trying to. Okay, anyway, he was trampled by an elephant, then eaten by a pride of lions in Kruger National Park, South Africa. This sounds lit.

A search party struggled to find the body, but eventually found a human skull and a pair of trousers on Thursday. Man, that's not how I want to be found. Just your skull and some pants and some JNCOs. Yeah. According to the managing executive of the park, he said, Entering Kruger National Park illegally and on foot is not wise. Ugh.

Yeah. Yeah. This weekend, uh. Oh, yeah. It holds many dangers, and this incident is evidence of that. What should he have entered on? Like a hoverboard? Yeah, like, was he supposed to segue i think the implication here is that a hoverboard is a proper way to go what if you just saw a segue with like a pack of lions just chasing after him on saturday

yeah i don't know if they can pick up the speed hong kong airport authorities seized the biggest haul of rhino horn in five years valued at 2.1 million. So that's why they're being poached. Okay, why is a rhino horn worth so much? Are people smoking dope out of them or something? No, I think Micah, or, oh no, why did I say Micah's name? I was going to say Micah pulled this up. Did you just, okay. I'm sorry, Micah.

Okay, Dave, no, keep going. Somebody look this up. No, it's like. I'm sorry, Micah. Okay, Dave. No, keep going. Somebody look this up. No, it's like the... What's the word? Virility? Like they say the powder from it can give you... It'll help you go viral? Anti-aging, fertility.

If you just take a little of that, do you go micro-viril? Look, can we take... That's underrated. Can we take an anti-poaching stance here on this podcast yeah i'm down for this i'm pro poaching eggs i'm anti-poaching animals poach eggs only yeah poach eggs not yeah virility is a word next t-shirt that's the next shirt for the folks at home who are new here virility in a man the quality of having strength energy and a strong sex drive so i can see why they might be into the rhino horn.

So just to be clear, people aren't making bongs out of them like we originally thought they might be? Did you say bongs? I just think back to Connor smoking out of that shaman's fingernail. Or something. No, it was his finger bone or something. Oh, a finger bone. It was like the fifth metacarpal.

Yeah, you can't light up out of a rhino horn. I feel like you'd have to have a lot of weed in order to do that. No, I think actually what they really do is they get the horns and then they line your truck bed with it. Oh, that's what it is. God damn it. That'd take a lot of horn, though. Yeah, it's a very expensive truck liner.

It's quite horny. Damn. And they dye it black. I didn't think of it like that but that's that's that's what it is yeah i think we're all anti-poaching here uh so how do you feel about the guy getting got good i mean good very good honestly what would you some swift justice here let me let me pose this hypothetical how would you rather go stomped out by the elephants or taken down by the pride of lions?

Oh, the lions, because that's a better story. Like, oh, you hear Dave died last summer? Like, oh shit, I didn't know that. What happened? Oh, lions got him. Like, that's cool shit. Think about it.

I feel like elephants are underrated, though. Can we throw... They're going to stomp out. Kruger National Park... Are we only going this hypothetical with this situation? You're not poaching. I would like to throw shark attack in there, too.

No, no, it's just this situation because this guy was not eaten by sharks. Think about this environment. I think it's stomped out. I think it'd be swift. In this like to throw shark attack in there, too. No, no, no. It's just this situation because this guy was not eaten by sharks. Think about this environment. I think it's stomped out. I think it'd be swift. In this environment, in Kruger National Park, there are rhinos, elephants, and lions in the same general location. Like, he's hunting for rhino, gets stomped out by an elephant, and eaten by lions.

Yeah, this is a lituation. That's a super dope little area of animals. Yeah. It's a high concentration of alphas. It sounds like a low, like, it sounds like a place where you shouldn't be poaching. Right. But that's where the rhinos chill, I guess. I don't know.

Well, if you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. Did we confirm whether or not it was one of the white rhinos? No, it was not a white rhino. It wasn't a white rhino. Get over that. There are around 2,000 lions in Kruger National Park. I'm surprised you didn't know that will i didn't even know where kruger national park was well it's in south africa

now the thing about kruger national park is the only way you can get there is in your dreams or your nightmares is this a freddy kruger thing he's doing a freddy kruger bit at first i thought you can take it to it oh that's kroger at the grocery store not kruger are i would have allowed it are rhinos like the most dinosaur looking animal we have left uh reptiles like iguanas and shit i think reptiles are closest to it genetically although like birds they look stupid weird though i'm looking at photos of rhinos for like the first time in a long time they they're so they're so prehistoric i think i think the feet of a chicken are are almost identical to some predatory dinosaurs out the towns the talons yeah like that well the whole foot situation how about this eerily similar

komodo komodo dragon yeah that's just that's dinosaur. Have you ever seen one IRL? No, I don't want to. I don't know if I have. They freak me out. The last time I went to a zoo was like six years ago. I went to the San Diego Zoo. Reptiles in general just freak me out. Growing up, my family, we were part of a program that we would adopt ones that had been left astray. And we'd just help raise them back and then set them free.

So yeah, I've got a little bit of experience with the komodo dragons are you serious yeah it's pretty tight i don't fuck with reptiles david you need to know that we talked about this recently but when i was when i was in cabo and i would the fact that i would just see like a two foot long iguana yeah just hanging out by the pool i thought that was tight it's it's a little bit startling at first but i like that they're right yeah my naked will story that they're startling now i realize they're not really scary like iguanas aren't gonna hurt you no if anything they're just gonna eat bugs they like lettuce like i mean man they just found this guy's skull like he was picked clean by these

lions they just went to town on him do you think they were like using his like bones as toothpicks to like get his his meat out of their his bones as toothpicks to get his meat out of their mouths and shit? Probably. Trying to get the bone marrow? Man. Sucking out the bone marrow?

They found his trousers? I wonder if they found a dude doing those trousers after getting stomped out, man. He's probably scared. Scared. Yeah, I would've, yeah.

No, they had to bring Randy Travis down there to help him dig it up. Really? No one else could have done that? Did he make an ACM appearance last night, Dave? I saw you were watching. I had to turn it off.

It was too shitty. Oh, the ACMs? Yeah. I made it about... Country Will made it 20 minutes. I made it two commercial breaks. Okay. That's pretty good.

I saw Eric Church do some song about snakes, which I thought was interesting. Okay, we're doing snake songs. And the only snake song I support is Snake Farm. Dylan knows what's up. And then I made it all the way to the end where Carrie Underwood did a song and a performance. And it started out with the camera zoomed in on a DJ

like scratching a record and then zoomed out and there's a big pool party going on and it's carrie looking great walking around singing she's showing the legs off oh yeah oh yeah this was taylor made for her yeah and then she did like the walking towards the camera thing and then she ends up on stage wow and the song truly sucked there's nothing worse than an awards show when they have a remote location with somebody performing. It just takes all the energy out of it. It looked like the worst pool party ever. I tuned in right at the beginning,

so I saw my boys' Florida Georgia line. I saw them perform, and then I had to see Luke Bryan perform. But I turned it off after I saw two people who I actually do like perform. Stapleton. Ah, Stapes, bro my girl Miranda oh yeah Miranda and Stapes I love them both oh do we have frat Dave yeah dude uh no I was it's funny I actually uh you know Stapleton's

a really good songwriter me and some of my buddies uh we got in on him pretty early you know you know I'm talking about my buddy from nashville oh chase yeah chase like his dad his dad uh works uh one of the record labels up there yeah does like does he have like like a trust fund from from his dad's work with all the record labels you get some backstage access really yeah that's pretty sick that's cool and all that like we've got the vip lanyards and whatnot. That's sick. Anyway, thanks for having me back.

Yeah, it's always good to hear from Frat Dave. It's shocking how much positive feedback Frat Dave has gotten. Couldn't be enough. I did not see it coming. I didn't either. Your wife, however, is not a fan of Frat Dave. My wife. My wife.

Borat Dave would be way worse. Are there any bits that you do around the house that she, that she just like has banned that you're not allowed to do? I thought she was going to hit it with some Ted Cruz. I thought she was going to ban Ted Cruz after that new year's where you were just doing Ted Cruz for an entire night. No, Ted Cruz has not made an appearance in recent memory. Okay.

Randy pretty much gets all my bits. Cause it's me, me and him at home. Well, she him at home. She's at work. So I pretty much just talk to Randy and see how he reacts. Does he ever get confused why Ted Cruz is just walking out of your place?

Yeah, he doesn't like it. He doesn't think Ted Cruz is a true Republican. Wow. Yeah. That's a hot take from Randy. Has he shaved his beard yet? So, wow. Yeah. Those are strong. He has a hot take from, has he shaved his beard yet? Randy Ted? No,

I don't know. No one's talking about Ted. He's late. And it's probably for the best for Ted. When no one's talking, it's better for him. Like he, he won against Beto and now he can just kind of sit back and,

you know, hang out for the next few years until he eventually loses somebody else. I had a tweet holstered the other day, and I realized how bad it was. And thank God it's not in my drafts. I deleted it from my drafts. But it said something about, I don't know if it was Masters Week, but it was talking about how I was going to be Beto O'Torked for something. Dude, no.

There's a guy who tweeted at me recently, and his name was Beto O'Torked for something. Dude, no, somebody, there's a guy who tweeted at me recently and his name was Beto O'Tork. Are you serious? Yeah. Well, I'm glad I didn't do it because he probably would have thought I was like ripping him. But yeah, I hated myself for even thinking about it. Can you open up your drafts right now just so we can like,

can you just read one draft that you have? Do you have drafts? I think I keep my drafts folder pretty clean, but I'll look. This is really pulling back the curtain. I have some really old tweets in my drafts that I refuse to delete, but it's all jokes about Peter Krause and Nick Vial being from Wisconsin and comparing them to the Averys. But I can't really unleash those unless they become relevant again.

I have one in the draft it says mitch mcconnell looks like his his bottom jaw weighs a thousand pounds it's pretty good why'd you holster that one i don't know i should maybe fire the whale on that one dude i have some really bad ones in here mitch mcconnell looks like he's struggling to hold his mouth up like his chin up up. Yeah. Like it weighs so much. Like, dude, what are you doing? I have one that just says, you know the meme format of like, me, nothing. Yeah. I have one that just says, me, nothing, Walt, Jesse, Jesse. Jesse.

Just because like every single line of Breaking Bad, it's just him yelling, Jesse, Jesse. Just because every single line of Breaking Bad, it's just him yelling, Jesse! Jesse! I feel like I've sent most of these, but I've got one, really loving Phil's strategy of doing some kind of wild boy shit at every major. I think this is after he picked up the putt. Yeah. I feel like I ended up sending that.

Yeah, I have some that I have uh sent in a different form like after p after rachel sent peter kraus home or i guess peter sent himself home after rachel i just said wow the last time i saw a small town wisconsin guy this devastated when steve steve avery got sentenced okay i don't know why i went i think you bounced that you told me. I think you bounced that one off me. I might have. I might have. I have so many drafts in here about that. All right. This one I definitely did not send.

It says, people love to rag on it, but without Twitter moments, I'd have never known that breastfeeding mom shamed at Disneyland clapped back. Hold on.

Can you run that back? People love to rag on it, but without Twitter moments, I'd have never known that the breastfeeding mom shamed at Disneyland clapped back. Whoever writes this... Why didn't you far away on that one? I feel like I didn't want to get the wrath of people who don't understand the joke. Have you guys seen the viral tweet?

I'm a coward, dude. Have you seen the viral tweet about Twitter moments that's been going around for the past 24 hours? No. Do you ever go into the place where the Twitter moments that's been going around for the past 24 hours? No. No. Like, do you ever go into, like, the place where the Twitter moments are and you see something, but you click out and then you go back and it's gone? Yeah. Actually, that happens to me almost daily. It's like the tweet says something to the effect of, like, you look at Twitter moments for a split second and it says, like, Bigfoot was throwing neck in some amusement park bathroom

then you go back and it's some political bullshit. Throwing neck is a great one. Throwing neck. But yeah, every time I go back to see a moment that I thought was intriguing something boring pops up. God, I hate Twitter moments. It's like Simone Biles wins another gold medal.

It's like, I don't care. She wins everything. I think she's retiring soon. What are your takes? Simone Biles wins another gold medal. It's like, I don't care. It's weird because Olympics. She wins everything. Yeah. I think she's retiring soon. What are your takes? Simone Biles? Yeah. She's got nothing left to prove.

She's the GOAT. She said her body's falling apart. She's the GOAT. Isn't it crazy how female gymnasts, they're finished at like 17. It's weird. Yeah. I think she was one of the older ones. There's not any like 30s, like girls in their mid-30s doing it?

No, but the men can go longer. It's weird. I don't get it, man. I don't know. Testosterone. You know something about that. Oh, yeah. I got too much tea right now.

Dude, I need a guy. Do you get a referral fee like you do at Gold's Gym? I don't know what my tea is, but I want to triple it. I did triple mine. It's so much I got I want to triple it. I did triple mine. And so much I got to back off of it. I got too much tea, Dad. Is that why you've been so heated lately? Maybe. You've just been coming at necks lately.

Not throwing necks, but... To be clear, I have not been throwing necks. Yeah, that's different. Where did throwing neck come from? Twitter, I'm sure. Where all the funny shit starts. Dave, you had a take about Lubbock. No, no, no.

I don't have it. It's not necessarily just about Lubbock. So you guys see that they won their game. They beat Michigan State. I did see that, yeah. Fun game. Didn't see it playing out that way, but not shocked. Because they good. And I think they're going to win tonight. Let me just put playing out that way, but not shocked. Because they good.

And I think they're going to win tonight. Let me just put that out there. Wow. I think the Red Raiders are going to beat Virginia. I am cheering for them to win tonight. I think a lot of people are. But I was a little bit surprised to see that my good friends in Lubbock set the town on fire. They went full Ohio State.

My question is this. Why did they do that before the natty? That's my question. Because they were drunk on a Saturday. That probably had a lot to do. Like, if that game had been played, like, last night. Had that been a Tuesday, they weren't going as nuts. But they were already fucked up.

They're going to destroy that little city. What was the average blood alcohol level of Lubbock that night? God. Point two? Well, dude, at any moment. Like right now? Yeah. So my question is, if you, and this isn't just, I'm not trying to call it Lubbock, but

since you guys did it. If you trash your town like that and flip cars and react like that to a semifinal game, and then you lose the natty, should like be forced to do some kind of like community service like should everybody involved be like i think you kind of should be forced to do it anyway did you have you seen i've never seen the list of people that got arrested i've never understood destroying your town after it i thought nobody got arrested uh i mean this tweet could like it goes this tweet could be completely inaccurate, but it was a video of the occupancy of the Lubbock jail, and it was just like an endless scroll of names.

I believe it. I never believe it when people say, like, no one got arrested. I want to be like, yeah, I feel like that's just a good look for the town. It's like everybody was peaceful. Just a bunch of PFGs and croquis and holding cells in Lubbock right now. Yeah, just a bunch of frat swoops and dudes. Square-toed boots. Dudes screaming over each other like, do you know who my father is?

Yeah, just hold on, Matt. I'm going to get my dad back. My dad actually knows who my dad is. My dad clerked for this guy when he was going through law school. Yeah, I don't understand destroying your town in celebration. I don't understand destroying your town in celebration. I don't get it. Well, what if you lose the natty?

Yeah, and plus, I get that they're young. They're like, these are kids. They're 19 to 22, and a little different state of mind. And had I been in their shoes, I probably would have done the same thing. I'm flipping cars. The flipping cars thing. Man, imagine your car gets flipped. Dude, what was you i'm probably it's probably gonna happen it wouldn't no dylan would have parked it like 20 miles out of town yeah backed into like a spot in the middle of the fucking desert definitely just don't drive or park your car anywhere near chimneys in lubbock

yeah that's always that's a rule for any week i've never been to lubbock and i don't know if i'll ever go to lubbock i don't see a situation where you would ever go to Lubbock. Yeah. It's a college town. Fun town to go to college in. I feel like we haven't watched a game in a bar in a really long time. Like that. Oh, like Tech Michigan State? Yeah.

That was fun. I've gone on record in the past saying that I don't like watching big games in bars. Well, that was a game where we didn't have any real interest. Yeah. I mean, you know, we might have been pulling one way or the other, but it wasn't like, oh, I can't be in public if they lose. I'm like torn about it though, because not having a horse in the race almost like made me more annoyed with certain people when they were going crazy about something. So I was like, all right, pipe down.

But then like the other part of me was like, it's nice not having a horse in the race because I can just kind of soak it in. The only way I can watch a big game in a bar if I'm watching my team, that is, is if I'm surrounded by people also going for my team. I need support because that's an environment that's going to upset me if my team is not doing well. The last time I watched something big happen at Woodrow's, I guess we watched Michigan lose that one night, but the time before that was when Spieth just shit the bed at the Masters. Me and you watched the Masters. And it was depressing.

That was awful. Yeah. Yeah. It wasn't fun being out. That was 2016. Was it? Or was it which time? I don't know. i don't even want to talk about it i don't know i i i didn't it didn't make me want to watch in the future like watch future games that are big in the like there i don't know i'm so torn on it it's fun but it also can just suck

yeah we were it was fun there were a lot of tech fans. There was weirdly a lot of Michigan State fans, which I always forget how many people. Michigan State's a very big school. Yeah, that live in Austin. And then there were a lot of people rooting against Michigan State. Why? A lot of rival Big Ten schools. Oh.

There was a lot of that going on. Because some of the people that were getting really into it against every time something good happened for Tech, I happened to strike up a conversation like, oh, no, we're just rooting against Michigan State. Fuck Michigan State. I'm like, okay. I'm pretty sure Michigan State has one of the largest,

yeah, they have their top ten for biggest public colleges. That makes sense. Undergrads. That makes sense. Nearlygrads. That makes sense. Nearly 39,000. Wow. That's pretty crazy, actually. I still don't get how Central Florida has 56,000.

I don't either. I feel like I never met anybody until Jack Hammer came into my life. True story. And I'm not trying to throw shade at them but because no one's heard of texas state i had never heard of ucf until i met dan i did but purely because of football yeah same like i mean if they didn't have a football team i wouldn't have known anything about i met dan like 2015 and maybe that was like the first year they were has their football team lost a game since then yes okay okay cool but yeah dude i think they were winless or maybe had one win and then they went undefeated

the next year yeah this is like 2016 or something when they went winless should we talk about the merits of their national championship claim? No. I'm just kidding. That sounds awful. Dave, would you like to see Texas Tech win tonight? Yeah. I would not.

Why? I don't like people around me being happy about sports. And I know much more Tech fans than I do Virginia fans. So you don't root for the conference? Fuck no. Conference pride is the dumbest thing in the world. I hate it. It's stupid.

Yeah. I think conference pride is great until you get to a certain point where it's like you don't actually want... Yes, you want your conference to be better than other conferences. But I can see not rooting for someone in a championship game because you don't want that. I feel like the only argument is in college football when that might come into play. Yeah. Like, you know, better conference, maybe you have one loss

but it was in conference and your conference is great. That basketball – That helps you in the future season. Maybe in college basketball to get into the tournament. SEC fans in particular have shaped my thoughts on conference pride. Oh, really? I'm a big B1 G. Because they all just, they just,

they hooked their pride and success to, you know, the trailer of Alabama. Whoa. You know what I'm saying? Wow. Wow, was that a trailer park deal? You're saying everyone that likes Bama is watching the trailer park deal?

That's fucked up. I know we only won three conference games this year, but if you played in the SEC, you would probably win too like you still won just three games like you your team is not good shut up i feel like most of the people right now who have big 12 teams that are fans of big 12 teams not texas tech that are like publicly like you know no this is a cool story we're pulling for tech i feel like they're doing that because they're trying to save face because they know tech's going to fucking win and they don't want to be salty

about it. I think Tech has a great chance to win tonight. I really do. I haven't seen the line. Jamie, pull that up. Their stud when they beat Michigan State the other night, their stud Jarrett Culver, I believe his name is, had a shit game. He was terrible. He turned it on in the last couple of minutes, but he had

I think like eight points or something like that. Who's your boy with the fade? Oh, Mooney? Is that his name? The worst haircut in Division I basketball. You couldn't get over it. Every time he came on the screen, Dylan was like, dude, what's he doing?

I can't pull for a guy that has a haircut like that. Wait, are you talking about the white dude? Yeah. No, it's the Italian guy. No, no, not the Italian guy. Not the Italian guy? No, no. The guy who was raining threes at the end.

Oh. He's got the line guy the line up the of the part right here and i don't know what it's called i'm sure there's a term for it he's got that do you lose a bet or something i don't know he's got a fade fade what would your style you cut a booty fade if you were if you were a college basketball player what would your style be like would you wear like arm sleeves would you have a t-shirt under your jersey would you wear the long shorts or the short shorts i would go we talked about this the other night i'm going tights all the way down to my ankles with short shorts i might go i might go tights too because i don't want to show off these legs i'm not proud i'm not that proud i'm going short shorts that's hard because if i go short shorts i can't go t-shirt under

and i love going t-shirt i'm not going t-shirt under. And I love going t-shirt under. I'm not going t-shirt under. You're cutting a south side fade. What's that? That's just what I'm cutting. Look it up. Okay. He's cutting it, Doug.

Okay. I mean, someone will cut it for me. I don't know what I'd do with my hair, though. Because in basketball, you want to keep it out of your face. Well, your hair doesn't really get in your face. Yeah, because it's pretty coarse. It stands up if I want it to. I don't know what I would do. i might just roll with what i have yeah we don't really have too much uh like i don't

know too many options with our hair right now yeah we can only go in a couple different directions grow it out yeah don't a pony i feel like this is kind of turning into throwing shade at me why uh you know no no it's just like i mean we we don't get to choose between like getting a fade and like cornrows like that's way tighter oh i got it i got what you're saying i wish because i would i would go flat top if i could but i can't like look at me this is a south side fade that's paul wall oh my god, dude. It's like the buzzer died. Let me just tell you this. The buzzer died before they could get to the front.

It's not a look for fellas like myself. That's a bad look for anybody. Except for Paul Wall. Except for Paul Wall. You're going to have some people coming after you for that take. You're not. Bring it. Oh, it looks like Matt Mooney used to play for South Dakota.

Not that that matters. SODAC? And his hair was a little bit longer. I don't know. We don't need to know that. I don't care. Here he is in an Air Force uniform, too. I'm confused. Really? Fighter pilot, huh?

Uh, well, he played basketball for him. Did he find the MiG? Anyway, I hate him, so... Lubbock, be careful out there tonight. Party responsibly. I mean, is that town going to burn down regardless? Do they do their... Dylan, you might know the answer to this.

Are there Greek meetings on Monday or Tuesday? Because I'm just wondering. Because, you know, that's usually a wild night. So I'm wondering. Are you going tomorrow? What? Dave, how would I know that? Just because you've got a lot of friends who went to tech

as do i but i thought you meant because i'm uh i don't know the answer to that dylan's on the defensive i'm quite unplugged from the texas tech greek scene okay believe it or not they did cancel class tomorrow that's nice and i think today after... After five. Yeah. See, I don't... Okay. That's asking for trouble. No, but yeah. If you cancel class tomorrow... You can't cancel class a happy hour.

...and they don't win, tomorrow's going to be a depressing-ass day. Tomorrow with no class, they're basically saying, like, get your hangover out of the way. Yeah, get your mind right. Is that like when the Mavs in 06 playing the...

Laura Miller, the mayor, planned the parade after they were up and they ended up blowing the series? I didn't know that happened. Yeah, it definitely happened. Dude, why? Some people can go into their hometown and never buy a drink again.

She will always have to buy her drinks in Dallas. I popped the champagne early for a Red Wings game in the Stanley Cup Finals. Yeah, you've told me that story. Yep. That stinks. They lost in overtime. They ended up winning the Stanley Cup, which saved me.

But had they not won, my friends probably would have never watched a game with me again. Yeah. Once you pop, you can't stop, though. You know what I mean? Shut up. Jaffeel? You can't put that quote back in, son. No.

I fucked up. I'll never do it again. But they're still my best friends. And the only people that aren't your best friends who will still bring you red wine at 4 p.m., sushi at 9 p.m., and a breakfast burrito at 8 a.m. It's Postmates. Obviously. It's like your best friend in app form.

How about this little Nas X guy? guy what dave what did you just do i was i had a notification and i just happened to see my timeline i saw a video of a guy on a motorcycle just absolutely run the fuck over by a bull what that's fine i don't know man it just was on my timeline.

Oh, there's a song, too. Oh, hell yeah. They're putting Buffalo Soldier next to it? Okay, and he's not... Okay, why would you put this... Set this up for us. What environment are we in here? Are we in the city? In the country?

I don't know what kind of bull... It's a bull. I don't know what kind of animal. Yeah, but is this like in Spain? Or is this like outside of Lubbock? This is not in the United States. Oh, he's on the streets of... Oh, dude.

Dave, tweet that video from Circling Back right now so people can reference it. That dude just got murked. Okay, I hope he's okay. I assume if people are putting it on Twitter that he's okay. No, if it's a foreign country, all bets are off. Put it on Twitter with a super generic caption like, Monday coming at you like...

Well, that's funny because this tweet, it says, Monday, I try to be the bull sometimes I'm the guy on the bike I'm not going to talk shit because this is Andy Stumpf he is a he's the guy who does the squirrel suit stuff oh he's also a former Navy SEAL just a badass

so I'm not going to rag on his caption game because it's whatever but this video doesn't look like it came from like LiveLeak so this guy's gonna say live leak is like the place where you go where you always have to be ready to click out immediately that's cctv every everybody every guy has a dude from high school that they still are in contact with that's the live leak video guy and that will hit your dude is a dangerous dylan's are dylan's the lively guy in this room no i used to i No, I used to peruse a little bit

just to maybe find a story we could do and have to write about when we were writing. And I would end up seeing the most gruesome shit imaginable and I'd have to go take a cold shower afterward and cry. It was just... You made a comment a few seconds ago and you mentioned CCTV. Yeah.

One, you said this on twitter that you were waiting for the cctv footage to come out of you at luby's almost getting smoked by that car yeah close circuit has that footage ever come out i never i never saw it okay i couldn't find any news coverage also wow it's almost like there's a cover-up do you think so luby's has a lot of influence in local politics here yeah yeah my dad used to lobby for luby's they's has a lot of influence in local politics here. Yeah? Yeah, my dad used to lobby for Luby's. They've got a lot of pull. I need low-key to go to Luby's soon. Can I go with you and the homie next time?

Sure. Are you going to go next time? Yeah. They should have given you a discount card for a lifetime membership. It's not going to happen again, right? You have to think it's not. You have to think it's a lightning strike. If there was one place in Austin where a car might go through the front,

Luby's is still toward the top of that list. Still shocking. The odds were 1,000 to 1 that it was not going to be an old person, and it was. It was not an old person, that it was going to be one. I fucked that up. You know what I'm saying? It was a young person, shockingly.

What, Will? Dylan can't talk. Yeah. What were we going to talk about before i completely not sex right the absolute heater that he's on when i saw that it was with billy ray at first i was a little bit upset and i didn't really trust it i was like i don't know what this i don't like that billy ray's coming back into the fold with this. Now, after listening to it way too many times, then I should have. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Billy Ray was the right choice.

When I first saw Billy Ray, I had some reservations, as you did. And he absolutely slaps in this thing. Like, he wasn't going to get, like, an Aldine or, like, a big name. You know what I mean? It's almost better for the internet because he knows that this whole thing was based off a viral sensation. So he knows that it's...

I mean, I don't know if he knew this, but whoever was involved, they probably know that it was better off with Billy Ray than like a current, like relevant country artist. A guy with some vocal chops, you're saying? I have a theory that Miley masterminded this and she was like,

yo, dad, you got to go hop on this. Hey, dad, you're saying? I have a theory that Miley masterminded this, and she was like, yo, dad, you've got to go hop on this. It'll go crazy. Hey, dad, this is me. I'm Miley. I'm a Miley guy. I love Miley. She got pipes.

I love Miley. She has a great voice. It's not what I thought you were about to say. What did you think I was going to say? I don't know. Great voice on her. Ratchet Miley scares me a bit, but... When she covers Jolene, come on.

Yeah, it's... Come on. It's scary. She's so good. It's scary, but... Oh, it's scary, Dave. Is that good? Her face is also, like, stupid symmetrical.

Dude, you love a good symmetrical face. You love to see it. Yeah, you love to see it. Hers is top-tier symmetrical. Who else is really symmetrical? I don't know. Apparently, Denzel has, like, the most symmetrical face in the game. Really?

I feel like he has like a crooked smile or something. Yeah, that's what people say, man. I'm just Googling most symmetrical faces. I don't know how to say that word anymore. Number one. Kerry Russell from Felicity. Number one is apparently. Oh, hold on.

Okay. Okay. What do you got? What do you got got this is interesting information it's loading just wait one moment please it says the most symmetrical faces for celebrities are is number one amber heard she's so fine it makes sense she is foiling she is uh number two, Scarlett Johansson. That surprises me. I caught some Avengers last night. Number three, Angelina Jolie.

Beautiful, beautiful woman. Number four, Emrata. Number five, Rihanna. I don't know how accurate this is, but the list that I found says that, and all those people I would consider to be strikingly beautiful human beings. They're striking. Amber Heard is notably smocking. What about dudes?

Although Scar Jo is pretty overrated. Pretty overrated. But she's still very pretty. I think that's something guys say when they want to sound like they're picky. No. One of the weirdest things in the world is when people put the symmetry... Have you ever done it with your face? Yeah.

The results will shock you. It's really gross. It's weird. Ooh, apparently Blake Lively as well. This? Yeah. Yeah, the results will shock you. It's really gross. It's weird. Oh, apparently Blake Lively as well. This makes sense. Oh, yeah. She's perfect. For dudes, one of the first dudes that comes up for this is...

They don't have his name here. Why wouldn't they have his name here? John Lithgow. There it is. Thank you. No, what's the dude from 21 Drum Street? Not Jonah Hill, but the other one. Oh. Oh, Hot Boy boy what's hot boy's

name uh channing tatum channing channing tatum channing fry how do we get here it's hard to say clooney oh yeah because you said miley has a symmetrical face. That's why. Stupid symmetrical. Yeah, so this song. Is it even a remix or did they just replace the vocals with Billy Ray? I don't know if this is your classic. This ain't your grandma's remix. This isn't the trap remix or anything like that.

It's just kind of a new version of the song. So the question is, is this going to go up the country charts? Better. I think it already has. Right?

I don't know. It released on Friday. I don't know if the charts charts? Better. I think it already has, right? I don't know. It released on Friday. I don't know if the charts update immediately. Have I told you guys that when I was in second or third grade, I did a choreographed dance with the rest of my class to Billy Ray Cyrus' Achy Breaky Heart at the high school girls' basketball game halftime show? And I have video of it.

Wow. And I still know most of the dance would you mind if we digitize that video i'll show it to you hey call me crazy but i like the original version better than the remix oh uh they both slap they both slap i'm a remix guy i'm not remix billy ray's just a little too billy ray for me in that particular song i mean is just a little too Billy Ray for me in that particular song I mean is he a beautiful man? no

no with his straight ass hair his Jared Leto hair I mean this has to be number one on iTunes right? he has number one and two on iTunes I believe the remix and then the original no not anymore dude he's making

right now the remix the remix is number one good for him and the other Old Town remix is number one. Good for him. And the other Old Town Road is number six. At one point, it was number two, I believe. Makes sense. They had the talk, because he tweeted about it, I think.

I follow. Number two is God's Country, Blake Shelton. That's upsetting. I feel like some of these, I feel like some of these, the charts right here are definitely skewed from last night's awards because it's a lot of country on here and i feel like maybe someone won an award last night and

people started downloading casey won of course she did of course she did what's with that marin girl marin morris yeah okay what do you mean did she meet me in the middle like for real look it up i I swear to God. We were talking about this last night. She's very talented. Will? Yeah, I know. What's her deal?

I didn't know she was even in the country atmosphere. Oh, yeah. I have numerous people who don't understand the joke, the meet me in the middle joke. What's the joke? The only reason I know it is because you guys have've just run it so many times oh i guess i think she did do it but it's like not like her traditional thing like she did with other people i don't know like

country will shown his true colors like i'm not i'm not all that familiar with her i don't know her and casey like i want them to hop on a track together spit bar do like a do a Watch the Throne album together I don't think that's gonna happen

you don't I'm gonna change my avatar to what back to what it was hashtag new profile pic yeah I like your current one Dave don't you dare

take that down I feel like country Dave after seeing the Carrie Underwood performance last night is retiring Hashtag new profile pic? Yeah. I like your current one. Dave, don't you dare take that down. I feel like country Dave, after seeing the Carrie Underwood performance last night, is retiring. Don't take it down unless you go back to the one you had last week. You peeking through the crowd. Oh, you mean not Michigan State Dave?

Not Big Ten Dave? No, I wasn't into that one. Big Ten Dave generated a lot of buzz. B1G Dave? People were calling me a traitor because I was turning my back on tech. I didn't go to tech. I lived in Lubbock. I don't mind tech.

I think everything's cool. I had to support my city. I put Duncanville on my back, as does Matty McQuaid. So I'm going to ride with Matty. If tech wins, I'm going to have to take a little break from Twitter, I think, for a day and a half. Shut up. We can replace you. Do you want to take a little break from Twitter, I think, for a day and a half. Shut up. We can replace you. Yeah, do you want to take a little sabbatical?

Maybe. Actually, this will be a good time to let the people know about my little sabbatical next week. That's next week that's happening? Yep, I got bad news. Or good news, depending on how you look at it, depending on your opinions on this podcast. I'm not going to be on every episode next week. This will be the first time that one of us misses a circling back episode.

People are high-fiving. I know. People are fist-pumping in their cubicle and G-chatting their friends like, You here? We do plan to have

someone sit in your seat, though. That's fine. I'm not going to tell you who you should get on air, but I will tell you after who I think you should get. We've been talking about it. We have some ideas.

Good, good. I will most definitely miss two episodes next week let's get a lady two episodes next week I'm gone I've got one in mind I'm sorry go ahead

do you we were maybe gonna have her as a guest this week but now I'm thinking I actually like that idea that could be an interesting dynamic we'll talk about this later let's meet in the middle on it

but yeah I'm gonna be I'm gonna be out of town sorry and I'm out of town. Sorry. And I'm out of town the next week, too. But I'll be on every episode that week. Wait, where are you the next week?

Cabo San Lucas. Oh, that's right. Yeah, I got a weird travel schedule. The first one's a business trip. The second one's a pleasure trip. Wait, is that the wedding? Lily's? No, no, no.

No, no. Oh, no. No. It's the Joint Bachelor Bachelorette Party I'm going on. It's going to be lit. Joint Bachelor Bachelorette Party I'm going on. It's going to be lit. Joint Bachelor Bachelorette Party. But, yeah, if your boy's spotty, vacation wills in full effect. That's something we shit on. Every other month, we shit on that.

I would shit on it if it was like, this couple makes sense. Other couples, I'd be like, all right, don't be lame. This one, it makes total sense. It's going to be fun. But, yeah, sir, I apologize in advance for my spottiness. We had a friend in town this past weekend. Yeah. You may know him by John Duda.

Deuteronomy. Duda John on Instagram, if you're real. He was supposed to come down with his co-host Brad from their noted podcast internet party. Unfortunately, Brad had to cancel last minute, but we still did get John. And we hopped in the stew on Saturday morning. There might have been a few hangovers in the stew, so things might have gotten a little goofy and a little off the rails, but I still think it was fun. And we're going to play a short little clip from that morning's recording right now. Do you have anything you'd like to say about this, guys?

I don't know what clip we could possibly use, but... I'll be honest. At the time of this, we have not chosen which clip yet. There's a lot of interesting banter in this episode, and I don't know where to go with it. This is up there with First Say by the Brunch and me being hesitant to even go back and listen. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to play a clip from it now. If you want to listen to the entire episode with us on it, with John, go over to Internet Party, mash that

subscribe button. It is live already. I can't confirm. This episode is live on their feed. Search for Internet Party. Go listen to the entire episode. I don't know. It was unhinged to say the least. At one point I think we took AOC to the crank corner.

No. I don't know. We got close to doing it. Yeah, I wasn't really comfortable with the crank corner discussion. That's why you're the Brad. I don't discuss cranking. I'm happy to be the Brad. Yeah, that's great. That's a compliment. Okay Brad I don't discuss cranking I'm happy to be the Brad Yeah Yeah That's great

That's a compliment Okay We'll play that now Before we move on I also wanted to give a quick shout out To my co-host Who couldn't be here with us today Disappointing that he couldn't be here

Bradley Would have been fun to have you Shouts to Bradley Let's Let's hope we can get him on an episode soon yeah he was really really bummed that we got to play some indoor ball yesterday i saw his instagram comment about it he would have yammed on all of us yeah like i've always wanted to get yammed on. Can he dunk? Oh, yeah. He's a high jumper. I know. I mean, I figured he could. Yeah, he can dunk. That was his sport. High jumping?

High jumping? Yeah. Can he do, like, sick dunks? I mean... Like, can he put his hand behind his head? No, but I think he can dunk. That's a sick dunk. No.

Are you serious? That's the sickest dunk. He can go two-handed. I don't think he can, like, cock it back or anything, but... Does he have a wet bounce pass? His jumper is garbage. I know he's a Michigan guy, but he's got to respect Matty McQuaid throwing it down. I think he does.

He respects dunks in general, just for any team. He's a big dunk guy. And actually, I took your ass to the rack yesterday. He did put you in the spin cycle. You scored on me, yeah, one time. It was like low post 101. I'll be honest. I don't know why you guys didn't do an actual tournament. We had just lifted,

Will. We just lifted and did legs. I had nothing in mind. Shaw would have been so off. See, this is what I don't like. Jay with no legs. This is what I don't like. You guys prioritized leg day over actually doing what literally you guys have been talking about doing for about three years. We did like one leg exercise.

Let's be clear. Expose them, Dave. You did. Expose them. Oh, you did calf raises. I did squats. Then I did lunges. Then calf raises.

And then deadlifts. I didn't see you on the rack, bro. Well, I did. We missed you on the rack, bro. You got there much later than I did, sir. Yeah. Okay. So Dave did one exercise. Dylan didn't. Dylan did four. You got there much later than I did, sir. Yeah. Okay. So Dave did one exercise.

Dylan didn't. Dylan did four. You're burying the lead. Is that why you came? No one cares about your leg day. It's lame that you prioritized it over the one-on-one game that you guys have been

jawing at each other about for years. Here's the other thing. That's why the skiing thing is never going to happen. And y'all are going to call me out for it, and that's fine,

but I still don't trust my leg in a full game of pickup basketball. I don't. It's excuse machine. That's fine. I don't care. I'm not going to risk re-injuring my leg or making it worse. I don't trust my leg in a full game of pickup basketball. It's excuse machine. That's fine. I don't care. I'm not going to risk re-injuring my leg or making it worse.

I don't even know if I have ligament damage. You did try to dunk. Tried. Yeah, but that's different than playing a full physical game of pickup basketball. You're playing Duda. I mean, it's more finesse with Duda. Yeah. He was throwing his hips around down there.

Dude, my hips don't lie. My jumper was wet. You saw it yesterday. You had a good jumper. I didn't say anything about it. This is better than mine. So you won't play me one-on-one, but you'll go skiing and pissing off. I'll play you one-on-one.

I would have loved to be there. My legs are fresh. It's never going to happen. Yes, it will. Today's podcast is brought to you by Blackwater. Use promo code OIL at checkout and get 15% off your first 10 mercenaries i don't think blackwater's around anymore blackwater the greatest private military in the entire world uh now let's get into some segments wait so whose podcast is this just to be clear i don't i feel like i've explained

this numerous times it's for the folks at home this is is existing on Internet Party. A little bit of it. A majority of it. Are we going to have a regular Monday episode for Circling Back? Yes. That we're recording at a later time. Yes. On Monday, our normal thing, and we're going to put a clip from this into it. Okay.

I don't know why this is so hard. What if we don't have anything that's clip worthy? That's up to us to decide right now we got a lot of time but so far it's this is circling back it hasn't been great this is circling back party circle well we got dylan over here talking about his like his leg workouts and stuff like that's not engaging content i feel like dave's just a little off this morning too it's a little i'm uh dylan was complaining about the temp in here and I was like it feels fine and now it's a little warm.

You're also wearing an oversized pullover. I'm sweating through my rollback over here.

If Michigan State wins the whole thing Duncanville has to change their mascot to the McQuaids. Man I just

don't know if that's a good mascot. You know that pig pen looking motherfucker he looks like pig pen that ball of dust behind him who are you talking about mcquade matt mcquade yeah okay yeah i don't i mean i don't know i i made the mistake i thought he transferred in so to be clear he went to the same high school as me he's a little bit younger a lot younger

he's gone to Duncanville his entire life I thought he just transferred in like a quote academic transfer no he's born and raised or at least

went to kindergarten he came up through Duncanville ISD yeah we watched a video this morning it was pretty lit at the rough house so it's not just a mailbox

in front of an empty lot no there was no malice. No Buddy Garrity foul play. If you say so. Is Buddy Garrity the FNL guy? Mm-hmm.

Yeah. I'm an FNL movie purist. I never watch the show. There's a lot of people like that. The movie is so much better. You haven't watched the show. I don't think you can compare the two. Because one's a movie and one's a show.

The show is like a soap opera, though. I've seen episodes. Yeah, like a dope one, though. Is this your segment, just shitting on Friday Night Lights? No, not at all. What other segments do you have? I wanted to talk a little Bachelor or Bachelorette. I know you guys are big into that.

This is going to be epic. The show ended a monthte. I know you guys are big into that. This show ended a month ago. I know. I just wanted to say that Demi, I think her name is, Demi and Hannah B, those two are mommies. Hannah B is the

Bama Hannah, new Bachelorette. She is not a mommy. Yes, she is. He tweeted this on the finale night. He was talking about how she was a little snacky. I don't watch... Oh, I missed that. So Demi is probably the better of the two, but it's close. You know, she's a Texas girl. Who?

She went to T-State. Demi. I feel like every contestant on The Bachelor is from Texas. Yeah, I don't think the numbers will back you up on that. I know, but it's just like a lot of southern... There is something absolutely wild happening outside right now. Well, we do have thunderstorms in the area. And as of about 9 a.m., we are under a tornado watch.

Well, you know animals can sense those things coming. I don't know if it's been proven, but it's been said. Those are coyotes. No, Dave, animals are more accurate than the Farmer's Almanac. They just got a rat. They got something. They got a little cat. Could you take a coyote?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, pretty easily. Yeah, coyotes, I don't fear. They're pretty frail. No, no, you don't want to get in the scrap with the whole squad, though. Nah, they squad up.

It's a pack animal. A pack of how many? Like four? You could take four. You could, but you would get messed up. Like you're not coming out of that unscathed. With battle scars. Yeah, then you get to tell that story at cocktail parties.

Like I got in a fight and a pack of coyotes. That's a good story. I'm sitting down for that one. You remember how W said the word coyote? He would say coyote. It had a little bit of swag at the end. I like that. I used to say coyote.

Coyote's a little bit country. I like that. It's a little country. Country dorm. It's kind of try hard. It is. That's why I stopped. When you go to the ranch, you're exclusively a coyote guy.

I'm a coyote fella. I'm a little more country than that. Wow. We don't need it from you too, John, but thank you. Well, I guess this is an internet party wow what a clip i i i have nothing to say because i don't know which one you put in and i don't want to know yep um as always it's so fun to have john in town we had a good time i think i was ready for him to leave just because i was like i don't really want to drink more draft beers right now but like i want him back now now that the hangover's worn off i'm ready his sister comes in town next week

should we just do should we just run back the exact same weekend yes okay that's fine we'll go to the same bars the same restaurants we're just doing everything the exact same um what else we got this week guys or this this monday are we done are we almost done we're low-key we got some shouts we need to give oh yeah give some shots give some shots uh our boys ryan and garrett yes took us out to sp Oaks Golf Club. We had an amazing day. Yeah, if you guys saw us flexing on Instagram, we got the invite to go play. It's a nice little course, one that we don't get to play very often, if ever.

Was not expecting them to cover all of our expenses. They bought us lunch, they paid for golf, they bought us drinks. It was one of the greatest Thursdays in the history of Thursdays. I even got the dopest hat from the pro shop. Spanish Oaks. Look this up. Spanish Oaks Country Club.

Yeah. Austin, Texas. They have the best private logo I've ever seen. It's sick. Their merchandise is the best. I don't know if I can say it's the best, but it's top three. It's very sharp. It's one that I've seen around Austin, and I thought it was just a clothing brand. The hat I got is just solid gray with the logo on the front.

That's it. Only thing on the hat. It's so clean and sharp. Well, you know, now that you bought the merch and you're not a member, now you have no choice but join. Yeah, I plan to join, Dave. Okay. Yeah.

What do you look for when you first go into a golf shop at a country club? What's the first thing you're looking for? Polo. A polo. Polo. Polo. They had some dope polos. I have so many polos.

Polo's number two for me. It's almost wasteful for me to get another one at this point. I'm a Q-zip guy. Everyone knows that. Then hat number two. If you can find a really good-looking hat that fits you properly, for me, that's like finding gold. You guys are hat guys.

Yeah. I don't wear hats nearly enough. I might just do a giveaway for my hat collection. You should. I'm going to do a charity auction. I just don't wear them. It's pointless. It's stupid.

That's never going to happen. No. We could. It's a good write-off. Okay. Is that how that works? Yeah. That's one of those things where i have no clue how write-offs

work or anything like that so we'll we'll uh we'll notice something this is worth uh circling on is that what we're saying now we can't say touching the circle circling back but it's not really something we've ever it's fine i was on a call regarding why i was going to be out of town next week and in the same sentence who I was talking to, she said touch base and circling back all in the same sentence and I was like fist pumping on my couch. Wow. Sorry. Go on, Dave. You noticed something, a little

adjustment I made in my tee shots in the back nine. I did. I'm an observant little guy. I'm now teeing it up a little bit higher and I'm hovering. You're a hover boy. Not over the ball or anything, but just off the ground. It makes me so uncomfortable. Do you know who else hovers?

Who else hovers? Hideki Matsuyama. So does Bubba. Bubba's a hover boy? Oh, yeah. Works for Bubba. And Kuchar. All right.

Oh, man. We're just naming... Are you sure you want to keep hovering? Is there anybody who I'm not going to despise? Does Willett hover, too? I like Hideki. These are good golfers, Dave. Hideki's tight.

You're right. He's top 10. Two of them are fucks, but yeah, the other two are. Hideki's tight. My thinking is I saw an Instagram tip on one of the 100 golf accounts I follow that says it'll help you hit up on the ball with your driver. I don't know. I hit the ball pretty well on the back,

so I'm going to stick with it for the foreseeable future. That's big news, man. Well, you know. I got called out for de-selling during a practice round I played on Tuesday in preparation for Spanish Oaks on my putts. And I'm a noted de-seller. Some people call me Will DeSell. And I've just been – now I'm just trying to hit putts like strong and i've just been blowing it

past the hole you should adopt the sneds the jab what's the jab oh no i dude i've tried that it doesn't work for me sneds though sorry a side note that i meant to say earlier whenever i see people doing the guns up for tech i immediately think of the she is very beautiful to me that's immediately what i think of when i see people doing it lately maybe because gorgeous that meme gorgeous i'm sorry i always say beautiful it's just stuck in my head have you tweeted the the video the bull yeah good would you ever do the running of the bulls or cat no i've noticed no i'd watch it from uh like a balcony i had a buddy who did it. He survived. I know a couple guys who did it.

I have no... Don't they kill the bulls with spears? Yeah, I don't support that. Yeah, that's... I think they... Yeah. Bull fight thing? Yeah, I don't want to be a part of that.

I've never been to a bull fight, but I... I have no desire to go to a bull fight. I... I had some... We went to a wedding in Mexico, and some people went to a bull in Mexico and some of the some people went to a bullfight the day of the wedding and I regretted not going

but at the same time I feel like seeing the end of it would have brought me down well the key is to leave before that happens yeah yeah they say

they always say never leave a sporting event too early like some people left really early during the Wolves-Watford game this past yesterday

and they just missed a great extra time. Why do they have to get the bulls like that at the end? I don't know. Just let them go do their thing. I mean, I guess if you're going to... I don't know. It's just weird.

They're going to eat the bull, presumably, right? It's barbaric. I think they turn it into an energy drink after they paint it red. The blood stains it red, and then they convert it into an energy drink. Is that how they make Red Bull? Yeah, Red Bull. That's why vegetarians can't drink it. I didn't know that.

Yeah, it's really interesting. Did y'all watch any of the Valerio Texas Open? Nope. No, I didn't. Let me say this. So the guy who won, Corey... Connors?

Connors. I did watch a minute. Canadian. Qualified on Monday. Monday qualifier. I'm a big fan of our friends in the North. First PGA Tour win. Awesome story.

But they spotted his wife, who was following him around. Yeah. And so they kept going back to the wife well. So every time he would hit a big putt or anything, they would show her. And she was clearly drinking what looked to be white wine. Yeah, she had a glass of chard. Her reactions,

she wasn't... Buttery chard. She definitely wasn't hammered, but you could tell. I mean, she was definitely... She was loose. She was getting a little Sunday Funday action.

And I was like, dude, stop. Like, this dude's about to win his first PGA Tour event and his wife's a meme now. I normally wouldn't criticize the style of what a lady is wearing. They can wear what they want. But was she wearing as trash of an outfit as Patrick Reed's wife during the Masters? I was going to say, I thought I liked her.

Because she dressed like a total dumbass. Yeah, she was decked out in Lily Pulitzer. Yeah, Lily Pulitzer. As a grown woman, that's just a weird move, right? Yeah. Unless you're literally on the coast somewhere drinking painkillers and stuff. I don't think you can actually wear that. What's Lily Pulitzer compared to for guys?

I was just about to say it's a seersucker for women. Wow. Wow. I think that's a reallyersucker of for women wow wow that might i think that's a really good comparison thank you it's a except it's a brand and there are many brands of i think there's a time and place for both but like it's rare yeah it's rare there's a poor young lady in her cubicle right now just lilied out it's just she's getting shit on yeah we're sorry we love you we we still

love you with a middle part mixing uh some different uh yeah how many girls have been sitting in their cuticle their cuticle cubicle with a middle part and then they hear dylan just shit on it and they just like slowly like adjust their hair you know cassie no longer middle parts really yeah i see i've seen girls move away from it. You see Colton go viral last night? Who? Our boy Colton. No, what'd he do?

What'd he say? He pulled out a disposable camera on the red carpet and started taking photos of Cassie with the photographers. Alright, I saw it, yeah.

What's he doing? I mean... He's all in. He's all in. He's handling this better than I feel like most post-Bachelor Bachelorette contestants. He's just very much showing how much he loves her more than any other Bachelor contestant ever. Is he going to backfire? How pissed are people going to be when the other Bachelor starts up in like a month and a half

and we're talking about Bama Hanna every Monday, every Tuesday, every Wednesday, whatever. I think she might surprise us I've said this I think she's going to be a really good bachelorette yeah you did say that and as we know the bachelorette

is not entertaining because of the bachelorette it's entertaining because of the dumbasses that they bring in to the house who just cause havoc it's about time

they have another chat on there though they have not had just a total alpha they haven't announced any of the guys yet right or did they they did the they had this It's about time they have another chat on there, though. They have not had just a total alpha. They haven't announced any of the guys yet, right? Or did they? They had this release. I think they've all been announced.

They had to get rid of one of them. Yeah, because remember the real Cat Pat? Yeah. She did a breakdown. Yes, that was actually phenomenal. They had to get rid of one of the guys, though. He didn't even make it to the second night or something because he had some regrettable stuff oh the interest page or there's also guys like stuff on his pinterest page why did he have a pinterest page you know it's a good

question i feel like if you have a pinterest page you're much more likely to own Lily Pulitzer. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. Strong correlation there. Mm-hmm. Should we get out of here? Wait, you have a Pinterest page, don't you? And I hate to your sucker. I actually do have one, but I don't use it. Yeah, I don't use it for anything in particular.

I used to use it for work. We used to save ideas to a Pinterest page, but now that Instagram has the save option, it's all Gucci You know what I do for work when I have an idea what I just like text one of y'all or call you Yeah, yeah, dude You do the thing that I hate that you do and you say don't let me forget this And then you put it on me to not forget absolutely right? It's like why are you allowed to forget but I can't forget it. It's classic specifically ask you you know what?
