Starting point is 00:00:00 All right, we're back. Circling back podcast. We're coming to you from the W Wash Media headquarters in Austin, Texas. My name's Will. To my left. David Ruff. I'm here. Yeah, been a minute. Double down on trips, double down on spices.
Starting point is 00:00:38 I'm here. Nothing you can do about it, son. I'm looking at you over there. I'm glad you're here. I mean I don't know why. It doesn't need to be contentious. Why did you turn into Obama to say that? You don't need to say you're here?
Starting point is 00:00:53 I'm glad you're here. Did you see little John at the DNC last night? I missed that. He didn't bring out the Eastside boys but it was little John. Okay. What? They turned down for what? I saw I saw the viral did he perform? They were doing what I believe is the roll call or each state. It's like
Starting point is 00:01:13 Alabama And like everybody like their delegates like yeah, we're fucking here, and then they did, Georgia he famously represents the a and They brought out little John and he did turn down for what I believe You know, we don't like to get like overly political here, right? You know, we'd like to tread lightly a Lot of dorks at this DNC Lot of dorks the conventions tend to trend dork Yeah, and I'm not trying to both sides it but you have to admit it is a both sides issue
Starting point is 00:01:44 It's a dark vest. It trends dork. No offense. I still see a scenario I'm like dude, I'm gonna go to this convention in my free time. No, I mean like that's just not It's not where I'm at and I'm at the polls only I was leaving out of O'Hare on Sunday when a Lot of people in town for the convention were arriving. Oh, okay. Did you see Kamala? I did not did you see that might have slowed down my trip a little bit to say see me mayor Pete What about beto your famous beto? That's how was I didn't see him, but I have seen him in an airport Was that after your wedding? Yeah pre-covid He was in the Chick-fil-a
Starting point is 00:02:20 Line with his kid coincidentally. I don't know if he was doubling, he was not doubling down. No, didn't he get like a Jamba Juice after some shit? Sounds like something Dylan Shivery would do. Welcome. Wow, thank you, Will. I'm very happy to be here. May I share with you guys, if you indulge me for a second, my latest cameo request.
Starting point is 00:02:38 This is from Deborah. You can't see me, but I'm doing air quotes. This is from Deborah for her friend, Jessica. Okay, she asking you to pull crank? My friend, she hates men's bare feet, especially the soles of feet. It would be funny if you do a video bare feet with your feet crossed at the ankles wiggling your toes. Dude, that would be hilarious for her friend. Okay, okay. Debra and Jessica. Something's up here. Are you gonna fulfill this request? It already, let it expire.
Starting point is 00:03:07 I'm like, look, you can't trick me. You can't bullshit a bullshitter like me, Dave. All right? You gonna do it? I know what you're up to. Just do it. I don't think there is a Jessica. And if there were, I don't think she hates men's bare feet,
Starting point is 00:03:19 like you're saying. Hey, Dylan, my friend Dave really likes, it really creeps him out when people put their feet on cucumbers. Could you do that for a few minutes? Could you just get a pile of cucumbers and rub your feet through them? I do respect the attempt. Your cameos poppin', mine's died down. No one's hit me up anymore. You can't pull one by me though.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Nobody wants a Dave vid. Nobody wants D-Man's feet? No, no, I've had zero requests for feet. That's private the best my feet are busted it shows that Dylan's feet are Above the rest with how many requests he gets we sought after I hate a petty I straight up need a petty will the bottom of my foot. I've got like crusty peel skin not You're a crusty boy down there. I mean I lotion them up too. I keep them moist Y'all are just wearing your feet out by like working out and stuff.

I've worn socks every single damn day. Yeah, she doesn't like the no-show like I do. Dude, that's so... That's a polarizing thing, generation to generation. Dude, that's, they're so, that's a polarizing thing, generation to generation.

They think that we're lame for doing no shows. the cool like they don't wear no shows cool millennials Do the mid-ankle like cool millennials only? But but what's uh, what's the like the kids in high school right now? Are they millennial? I think no no It's not millennial Gen Z Fuck off think they're doing cruise somebody whatever the well
Starting point is 00:05:06 There's a there's a segment on tik-tok and on Instagram They're like they would make funny for the crew like the the next next up The you know the rising stars if you were to do a rising stars game at the all-star game They would be ripping you for cruise. Maybe maybe they're making fun of us for doing cruise Cuz we're like old and lame. Maybe you know what I mean? I still like old and lame. Maybe, you know what I mean? I still like a no show though, you know? I make some. I'm wearing no shows right now.

Speaking of an excellent little airport. Excellent little airport, dude. Like you get you you fly in there and you're out the door on your way somewhere in no time Yeah, no time there were like 12 people in this airport and a Chick-fil-a. Yeah, it was great Yeah, the town itself before we get to like what we actually did the town's cool Is it beautiful a river running through it Main Street was great. We walked up and down Main Street
Starting point is 00:13:20 Did you ever see a river runs through it? I Don't think I did Brad Pitt. Don't you see a river runs through it? I don't think I did. I'm not Brad Pitt. Don't you see his buttocks? So, I went, I went through a little phase where after I'd go out really hard, uh like I'm talking like Christmas party like big,
Starting point is 00:13:36 big night stuff. Sure. And post Grand Ex Christmas party one year, Sally gave me an IV and I just watched a river runs through it all afternoon while she put another bag on me. It's pretty chill. Dude, it's pretty chill. Yeah, it gets a little dark sometimes but sometimes you need that when you're hung over with an IV bag attached to you, I'm gonna go get some coffee. I'm gonna go get some coffee. I'm gonna go get some coffee. I'm gonna go get some coffee. I'm gonna go get some coffee. I'm gonna go get some coffee. I'm gonna go get some coffee. I'm gonna go get some coffee.

Yeah, especially for I know it's not like a huge downtown earning But it's just like very looks very clean the grand bohemian hotel looks like it belongs in aspen It's just like the lodgy and awesome dude huge It's badass. I'm trying to get back there and stay there. All right What's the room situation like on the uh, three-man trip? We guys have people bunked up. We chatted. Yeah, davy Oh, yeah, davy. We'd chat our own room. They took care of us. That's what's up. King size?
Starting point is 00:14:28 I had a king. Brett chose two queens because he likes to use one of them to set his shit down on. That's insane. Which is a weird move. I've heard of people doing that. I've also heard,
Starting point is 00:14:36 someone told me once, I think it was a scary DM. Someone said that they like to have two so they can nap in one and then they can sleep in the other one. Okay, that's stupid. You're a real sleeper If you're doing that shit real sleepers first thing
Starting point is 00:14:47 I did when I saw I had two queens was I got all of my like nice button-downs that I potentially might have to Wear for this thing and I laid them out because I've been in a suitcase Well, there's a you could hang them in the closet area. I think it might be more efficient. They give you four hangers. I Don't know. We mean I had five shirts. Okay. Wow, one of them just left out to dry then. Well. Oh, I didn't know. I had five shirts. Wow, one of them just left out to dry then. You had a king. It was great. Great. The AC Hotel in Greenville. Great little hotel.
Starting point is 00:15:12 I thought you meant the AC in the hotel. That was great too. The AC was really cold as well. That was as cold and as dark of a night's sleep as I've had. Alright, so our first full day there, we went to the BMW factory in Spartanburg, South Carolina, which is where if you see any BMW models, there's like the X3, X4, X5, X6, and then like the X, what's it called, the M, is it the new electric SUV?
Starting point is 00:15:42 They come from this, like they all come from this factory. All right. The scale of this operation. Well, unbelievable. Yeah. It seems ridiculous. Like, and they had all the vintage cars sitting around too. You guys just like gock at those for a while. Yeah. Guess the first thing you see and that's the only thing you can really record with your phone. Oh, no, no, no phones in the in the fact Yes, I'm a prior Terry stuff going on in there. So many square feet this building is I you well I think you know I think you know that my brain doesn't really understand square footage
Starting point is 00:16:14 So any guess I give will sound stupid imagine a foot, but it's square So I got a million square feet soon to be a they're expanding. It's rare to hear the million after it. Yes In from my experience personally dad that's a large factory it's like it's like that's bigger than one that you do work at it's like three access big like you see it and they're like oh wow there it is like it's still going it keeps going it's they just be driving cars around there you know it's a tad it's basically a little town it was nuts yeah like how many towns out there are not seven million square feet She our tour guys said it's big This is basically a small city like they have a like a mailing center and you know food area a medical area
Starting point is 00:16:51 I believe a hospital. It's crazy. They have a bar because he probably can't do that at a car factory I don't know. Oh, there's beverages at the performance these robots that put these cars together unbelievable Unbelievable, do you think that they have the capability to make something? that put these cars together, unbelievable. Unbelievable. Do you think that they have the capability to make something like a car accessory that could possibly level out a pizza on your way home from a pizza place?
Starting point is 00:17:15 We brought that up. Yeah. And they said, that's actually a brilliant idea. So they're gonna have a meeting about it, start putting some concepts together. What if there was just a button on the dash that said pledge mode? And just the seat just and the seat. Yeah, the seat just evens out itself, dude Wow, that would that would actually be
Starting point is 00:17:33 Pretty usable. Do you get it? It's called pledge mode, Dave, huh? I'll do here explain that It's a pizza wedge Yeah, do you get it? Oh So like when I go pick up pizza, yep I don't have to worry about it sliding to one side or the other now you're now you're thinking You know the thing though about a BMW is The suspension so good and it drives so well and handles so well
Starting point is 00:17:57 You really don't have to worry about that is all moving around in that box Oh, that is so true with the seat is still tilted though David. Well not with mine because I'm sitting sideways. Then it's probably extra tilted for you. Yeah it is. So then what happened after you guys did the factory tour? So that was on Monday. Okay. And then we had the rest of the day pretty much to ourselves except for dinner. We uh we that we use afternoon to walk around and check out the town. The bar we went to is where we watched the Tot game. OK. And they had it on a giant projector screen. And no one was really watching it, but we kind of were.
Starting point is 00:18:31 And we saw some action. Saw some Jamie Vardy shithousery. Yeah. Y'all don't see enough shithousery in other leagues. I drank an early season Oktoberfest there. OK. You might have pulled Trig a little too much. I think so.
Starting point is 00:18:44 But it was still pretty decent. I went pills. That was probably a better order. Really? You didn't want to drink? I took some Xanax. We had dinner at a place called Sobe's. Like Southern Cuisine. So was everything marinated in Sobe's? No. It actually brought the lizard out. Did he make the table side Glock? He was like a more aggressive party gecko
Starting point is 00:19:08 Food was excellent. I got the short rib. So good. Did you like your? What the waitress who was a great waitress I gotta say she might have done you and maybe brought a little wrong on recommendations Because I asked her I was like I'm between these two things. And she told me shrimp and grits. I ordered the shrimp and grits. What were you between? Mine was excellent. OK, what was on in real estate in your brain?
Starting point is 00:19:33 And then the short rib? No, no, no. It was, yeah, no, it was the pork tenderloin. Brett got crab cakes. Just a little brick. That's such a Brett order. But then afterward, Dylan, she was like, yeah, the shrimp and grits is the best thing on the menu.
Starting point is 00:19:46 And you were like, why didn't you tell me to get that? And she's like, well, you said you were between these two other things. So she might have been concealing stuff. I said, I'm deciding between the short rib and the trout. She goes, oh, dude, you're getting the short rib. So I was like, oh, say less. See, I don't ask them any, I don't even
Starting point is 00:20:01 indicate that to any waiters anymore, because I don't, if I ask them that, I always hope they say one or the other. And if they say the one that I'm hoping they don't ask them any, I don't even indicate that to any waiters anymore because I don't, if I ask them that, I always hope they say one or the other. And if they say the one that I'm hoping they don't say, then I'm like, well, shit, I still want to get the other one. And now I'm going against his word or her word or their word. The Shrimp and Grits was among, I've had Shrimp and Grits probably 10 times in my life. It was, it was top two. They threw a little andouille sausage in there. It was delightful Him with little crème brûlée, it was good. Yeah. Anyway after dinner we went to we had an impromptu meetup
Starting point is 00:20:33 Yeah, very jealous of the impromptu meetup. I heard it was well attended considering. It was a Monday night in Greenville Is that the aforementioned Grand Bohemian Hotel? Yeah, I'm thinking. All right, we're in a small town. Do y'all have a hotel party? I'm like, no. I'm like, it's a small town. There's probably a handful of listeners in this town. And it's a Monday night. And we gave them like really short notice. I was like, if we get four people there,
Starting point is 00:20:53 I'll be pleased with that. We had probably 20. Love it. We gave them like five, maybe six hours notice. Did y'all buy any rounds for the boys? All I had was a beer. I was wondering. We had a big day the next morning,
Starting point is 00:21:05 so I didn't want to go too deep. I don't want to get banged up. As we would come to find out, I think being even slightly hung over at the driving school would be just a really bad idea. Yeah, it seems like it. Yeah, it's an adrenaline pumping, like nervous energy kind of a situation.
Starting point is 00:21:19 If you are any way queasy, as we will talk about, you gotta be careful. Yeah, let's get to the performance. I want to know about these hot Laps. Thanks again. I think I think to everyone individually, but thank you again if you came out to the meetup That was really cool. Can I say something meetup wise? Yeah Charlotte not that far
Starting point is 00:21:36 I think if we gave a couple months notice and so we're gonna do this Greenville thing and we could bring in that Charlotte audience too, I think we could do a to do this Greenville thing. And we could bring in that Charlotte audience too. I think we could do a sizable Greenville. Counterpoint, we could just go to Charlotte. I like Greenville a lot. I do too. Diversify Dave, we gotta go check out Charlotte.
Starting point is 00:21:53 All right, the performance track. Yeah, who won? Okay, tell me what you guys did on the performance track. All right, so you sit in this classroom for an hour or so and they give you the rundown and they talk about the cars that you're driving and the different events you're going to be doing out there. And so we're just getting it's like a lot of nervous energy in the building. Yeah, we get out there. The
Starting point is 00:22:15 first thing we did is called a rat race and it's a it's an oval like the movie. It's a fairly small oval and they just they wet it with Mr. Bean. They get sprinklers just wet in this thing. It's okay. It's a wet shopping wet driveway and so the cars start on on either side of the oval and it's a race you just like kind of chase each other around the track a little bit and you're sliding you're sliding and I'm just punching it man I'm sliding over the place Dave I'm not to be honest here I smoked Dave the first race I got him good He did but he left something out dylan got a practice race
Starting point is 00:22:47 So dylan got our dylan got messed up dylan got to hit the track before me and I was like, oh damn and I was nervous because like Watching the first one the first cars go the girl you win against she spun out and they had to stop the race Are y'all helmeted up? No Okay, okay. I'm a little surprised. They just like cut us all loose like Yeah, sure everything all reports like Brett is now like trying to figure out a way to get into like an f1 circuit So he can be a race car driver. He can drive a race car Yeah, Brett Brett's gonna watch his sixth movie ever and it's gonna be like Ford versus Ferrari
Starting point is 00:23:20 Yeah, so we we get out I get out there so Dylan wins his race His first race and then they're like, alright car two or car three you're up So I go and we go and I'm like, alright Well, I got I'm gonna take this first one real gingerly cuz I I don't know and I like kind of look back a little Bit to see and I see Dylan's already like on my ass. I'm like, okay So I got smoked I got smoked by Dylan. I Got to say you get two races Whoever I was up against next they got they got wrecked because I just said I told Brett I'm like, all right
Starting point is 00:23:52 That was embarrassing. I'm just going hard. Some people probably shoot them it out there. No offense to them. They were just like just timid Joy riding around a little bit older Okay, and they weren't willing to like cut it loose and you've always thought that anyone over 60 shouldn't have a driver's license I think I've ever said that a lot of people need to they need to be familiar with the number of their car Because as like the the instructors like car three you need to do this because I've got a radio in your car Yeah, and a lot of people clearly don't know that that's who that's the car. So the rat race was an absolute blast I wish we had stayed there a little longer. It's also the perfect the perfect event to get us like kind of settled in Because you know, you're not hitting high speed you going around a pretty small oval like yeah
Starting point is 00:24:34 so the next one was the the time trial one which is like the competition part of the whole thing and Basically you drive around this track you weave in and out of cones, and the speeds are definitely much faster than the rat race. Like what are the speeds? Well, you're doing a lot of turning, a lot of braking, so you probably don't hit anything higher than like 80. Okay. You step on it though. You step on it, but then as soon as you do,
Starting point is 00:24:57 you gotta break hard and make a sharp turn. Yeah. So like a good time was like 24 to 26 seconds. Okay. If you got sub 24, which a handful of people did, then you were competing for a top three. I got a 23, nine, which I was pretty pleased with. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:14 My scores got, my times got better each time. Brett finished fourth overall. He got a 23.6. Okay. Yeah, Brett may have won it had he, I guess he didn't hit a cone. No, he didn't hit a cone. It was a two-second violations Yeah, yeah, yeah, right didn't hit a cone That would have been but a lot of people hit cones a lot of people smoked cones cuz I actually don't know how I didn't
Starting point is 00:25:33 Hit a cone cuz you got that you got that precision, dude, dude Once you really get going you go around first time you're like feeling off the track the next time you just fucking go and time you're like feeling off the track the next time you just fucking go and I it's a miracle no cones were hit I think we should mention the type of car driving to and for this is this was an m3 at this point m3 no that wasn't him for the time the time trial one was an m4 the first one was an m3 it's the most fun vehicle I've ever been behind the behind the wheel yeah that was that was maybe in my highlight is the time trial one because you're you get to really like kind of let it loose and and make some crazy turns and I said this for the show
Starting point is 00:26:10 I could have sat at that thing spot one all day Do give me that electric blue so the next one we did Was the It's called fall the leader. Okay. And this one, there's a professional driver leading the pack and we do laps around the track and he basically, he's radioing to us the whole time. He's like, okay, this is where you break, this is the line you're gonna take.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Also in an M4, by the way, very fast vehicle. So we're following this guy and he goes, all right, first lap we're gonna go kind of slow. And then he's like, all right, we're going to pick it up now, second lap. And he starts going faster and faster. And he says, as long as you guys keep up with me, I'm going to keep pushing the limits.
Starting point is 00:26:53 But if I see the car start to trail off, I'm going to slow down so everyone can keep up. And this one was fun. You get the speeds pick up a little bit more in this one than the time trial. It's just a bigger oval basically. So you get the there's a straightaway on this one. Indoor? No, all outdoor. Okay. There's a longer straightaway on this one. And this is like, so the first time you get in the car you're riding passenger to see like what to do. Like just to get familiar
Starting point is 00:27:21 with the track. You gotta see the track. And then from the past That's when you take over and you can drive. So I'm doing I'm driving in this this older Gentleman gets in the car with me 60 ish. All right, man, you ready? Yeah, let's be fun. Like yeah. Yeah, let's be good gets his phone out and records the whole thing We do about four laps in total. Obviously picking up speed each time. And I'm like, by lap two, I'm letting it rip. You know, I'm punching it, I'm hitting those brakes hard, I'm turning sharply. And the guy didn't say anything the whole time.
Starting point is 00:27:55 I'm just having fun. Last lap, we're making the very, before the very last turn, thankfully, the race was almost over. Coming up on on the last turn and I just hear a and he's trying to hold it in he can't and just projectile vomits all over his lap his shirt's covered all over the seat you don't know this guy in the floor I don't know this he's got a random puker in your car oh I'm so sorry I was like dude I'm sorry like no you shouldn't. You should be really proud of yourself So we thankfully we pulled straight into like the little pit area and we're done and I we get hosin down and I flagged
Starting point is 00:28:32 The lead driver I said hey, man, we got a we got a vomit situation over here So I'm getting in the car to drive when Dylan's getting out Mm-hmm, and I don't I didn't know what happened Dylan gets out and I just hear, hey we got a vomiter here. I thought he was making a joke about me about the drive. I was like, okay, this guy's got jokes. Then you saw the guy get out and he had his breakfast sandwich all over. No, dude.
Starting point is 00:28:57 We all ate breakfast together too, by the way. I looked back and I was like, oh, oh no. And so they pulled that car out of the lineup and brought it back to get it cleaned Whatever they put a new one in and so we're talking about that for the next, you know, 20 30 minutes Like oh the chemist got threw up blah blah blah The next event we do the last event we do is the hot lap. Okay, are you driving that? Okay? No, no, no, the hot lap is we all get in it's it's an m3 competition is the car
Starting point is 00:29:23 So it's this is a badass vehicle. Alright and so everyone's like lined up waiting to hop in these cars and it's it's three passengers to one driver and the driver is a professional driver and this dude's going all out. I mean he it's like to start the race he revs it and then he hits it in gear and you just fly off so fat like it was it more than F1 Yeah, oh my god. Yeah. Yeah, okay Compared to F1 it's like it's like a much more jerky and you're drifting at one point like around when they say F1
Starting point is 00:29:55 They're not talking about the F1 cars. We got to do a hot lap in an Alfa Romeo on the F1 track Yeah, yeah, yeah, so and then I mean this guy is a fucking well You guys went fast They're wild ass drivers and they they go so fast and they slam on the brakes before their turns and they're just Screaming out his turn ass. It was awesome. And then at the end of it There's a little wet circle track and they they do a full two lap drift It was badass and then that's the end of it
Starting point is 00:30:22 So we're all we're all waiting to get in these cars. And I'm like, I look in the back of this car like, no, no. That's not the same guy. This dude who threw up with driving, riding with me, gets in the back seat for a hot lap. Also the wrong seat to get in. If you're anywhere close. Yeah, back seat hot laps sounds terrible.
Starting point is 00:30:42 And I'm like, this is not gonna end well. So they finished their lap, and he doesn't throw up in the car, but he gets out and he's holding his stomach and he starts to like bend over like, by this time we're getting in the car, so we don't really know. Fool me once. We get in the car and we take off,
Starting point is 00:30:57 so I don't know that he actually threw up, but we get back and there's just a pile of vomit on the ground. The guy threw up again. You can't keep this guy out of the car. No, yeah, you gotta tell this guy that he might need to take a couple laps off. I saw him in the bathroom and he had changed clothes.
Starting point is 00:31:11 He had a full new outfit on. It's like, I feel so much better. Did he have all BMW gear? It was. It was like a bright blue BMW Polo. I love it. I'm like, dude, what are you doing? Dude, that's the movie.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Did you think about, I was gonna say, did you think about puking on yourself so you could get a free Polo? I asked him, I said, do I'm like dude. What are you doing? That's the did you think about? Yeah, I was gonna say do you think about puking on your yeah, so you could get like a free polo. I Asked me said use a buy new clothes. No, I just got I went to the bus and got my bag We all brought our bags there cuz we're about to go to the airport. You guys get BMW swag They give us a hat and a hat stick and a ball marker. Oh Dude so Brett can I have your since you don't play? Yeah, you can. I sat up front and Brett's like, all right, you hold my phone. So I look at, Reid was our driver, right?
Starting point is 00:31:49 What song he put on, by the way? Carry On, my Wayward Son. Yeah, he blasted. He pulls his phone out. He's like, I got a driving song. And he just, we're listening to that at full volume, just screaming around this track. It was badass.
Starting point is 00:32:03 It was so much fun. These guys are incredible drivers. Very, very jealous of this. So I go, you think I can hold onto this phone? He goes, yeah, you look like you got a good grip. I was like, okay. Didn't know, like, I knew what the high-lab was going to be intense. I didn't know, like, from the jump it was going to be just, like, getting shot out of a cannon and I'm holding it and like four seconds goes by, a break goes, Dave, Dave, hit record, hit record. And I'm like, yeah, and I hit record like five seconds in because like once he started
Starting point is 00:32:35 going like it was like we throw him back, throttle back. That was the most fun. Like it was so bad. And y'all got video of all this. Yeah. We're gonna put some videos together for everyone to see okay, so stay tuned. Okay, check out the wash media Instagram It was badass man. It was very jealous cars are sick. I'm very jealous. They perform incredibly well Yeah, these cars they said that after they're finished like I think they There are at this performance track for like a year then they like replace replace the brakes and all this stuff and
Starting point is 00:33:09 They then they sell them used they sell call today. Yeah That's kind of badass. Yeah, I want a performance center vehicle We just beaver guys though.

Starting point is 00:33:45 Very smart people designed those. Yeah, you'd think. Not us. You'd think. I did enjoy the party pot where Dylan just said that he would move to South Carolina right now. I love it there. He just lives in Greenville though. It was like 85. It was a proper summer. It was only 105 here yesterday.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Yeah, I know. They have a proper summer there We're like there's moments when you get hot, but it's never like yeah, I don't want to leave the house hot. Yeah Yeah, sounds great. Yeah, it was good. It was oppressively hot yesterday Anything that you need you want to know that you want to ask us about do we cover everything? You've covered a lot of bases. Yeah, you covered a lot of bases. So Brett's the fastest driver at wash media He definitely got me the time trial. I'll give it to him. Yeah, he's three times He says it didn't give credit to Brett. Well, I mean I mean just going on the board only a handful of people got sub 24 and I did so I was pretty pleased with it Brett's faster. Yeah
Starting point is 00:34:38 There may have been a cone hit, you know, I wasn't gonna bring it up But you know since still and stunted on me a little bit bit I'll say don't may have hit a cone. Oh On that lap they were saying that they were saying it I don't think you spin a cone out and try to hit a cone Yeah, I'll nurse system Dylan learn about it two second penalties a little steep. Yeah, I'd knock it down. Yeah, that's a lot over That's a Ten percent penalty the first woman I hopped in with I was passenger on the time trial one She was going so fast before we hit like the cone like we've in and out part
Starting point is 00:35:07 She's like she just smoked she ran through like two lines. I love that for her. I love that for her Oh funny She just thought maybe it's faster to go straight through you're on the radio because there's a car that drives around and fixes the Cone they go. Well, we got a lot of cones pick up. Hey, I kind of would I wanted to see a professional driver Do the wet track? Yeah, I talked to him about the time trial I said what he said, I know what we get as amateurs. What do you guys get and they said? um sub 22 he said I once hit a sub 21, but it wasn't official because no like I don't know something about not being official, but he said he got a sub 20. See I would love to see that. Yeah
Starting point is 00:35:43 I'm excited to see a video by the way, I get how that guy got nauseous being a passenger because There was the one time I was like, ooh, it was on the the fall of the leader So I kind of get how that can happen but driving though. It's like anything you're fine. You're you're geared up But like being a passenger, I don't know how y'all did the hot lap in the back seat I might have been in trouble so fun. It was so sick. I like being a passenger, I don't know how y'all did the hot lap in the backseat. I might have been in trouble. So fun. It was so sick. I would have thrown up in the backseat. Backseat's not it. Nah.

Starting point is 00:39:05 like the Anthony Bourdain of this office. Wow. Can we talk about the smoker that's haunted by Anthony Bourdain? Wow. I've got questions. What you don't think it's haunted? What Dave? I don't... Is your smoker haunted? I don't think so. What is it? Is it a green egg? Eder Austin, which is surprisingly not Dylan's at, said would you buy a smoker allegedly possessed by Anthony Bourdain? This guy's just using the the late the great Bourdain to sell his damn smoker He said the grassroots reselling market has never been as robust as it is now There's posh mark for trendy apparel, eBay for discontinued products, and Facebook
Starting point is 00:39:46 Marketplace for used furniture, but before all those, there was Craigslist, whose entire selling premise regularly centered around weird, the wild, and the most disconcerting objects. Say a smoker claiming to be, or to host the infernal spirit of chef, author, and media darling Anthony Bourdain. I just don't think this guy's smoker is actually haunted by Bourdain. I just don't think this guy's smokers actually haunted by Bourdain No, it seems unlikely. I watch a lot of ghost TV. Yeah, I dabble in paranormal Shut up seen a smoker get haunted it typically they avoid Kitchens kitchen equipment and also, you know outdoor patio cooking situations
Starting point is 00:40:21 What what does a smoker haunted by Anthony Bourdain even do? smoke cigarettes cooking situations. What does a smoker haunted by Anthony Bourdain even do? Smoke cigarettes? Drink beers out of tiny glasses? You just smell the tasteful amount of smog coming from it. Hey, speaking of... This guy's going to get his ass whipped by Anthony Bourdain when he's in heaven. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:42 Speaking of haunting and ghost stuff, did you see that our good friend of the program, Brent Rooker? I did. Okay. I'd like to talk about him. Talk about it with him. Spooky season is rapidly approaching
Starting point is 00:40:54 and he has a ghost story. Dude, it'd be a shame if he flew down to Austin and hung out with us. So we have these lights. I bought these, I bought these like, just accent lights for our place and I bought these little like, tea lights. Do you know what a tea light is? I do. Okay They just turn on every night at the same time
Starting point is 00:41:15 They go for like a few hours and then they turn off at the same time every night And I was like, I didn't know that these did this And I was just I watched him turn on the other night just randomly I was just sitting in a chair and I saw him turn on. I was like, Sally, do you think there's any chance this place is haunted? And someone's just turning these on right now? Like, these were the cheapest things on Amazon that they had to offer. And they're somehow on an automatic thing. Now I started, I'm starting to have questions. Keep an eye
Starting point is 00:41:36 out. We've had some hauntings in the squad lately. And I'm a little scared that I might be next. Just pay attention to the rest of stuff in your, in your crib. Who else got haunted? Ryan? Ryan's got haunted, dude Oh, yeah I can't talk about that. Yeah, we're gonna have to have them on spooky season to talk about that Yeah, I just don't think because well, I read did you read the article on this? Not really so I guess he was when he was in Austin like 2012 they did some segment at someone at a house and
Starting point is 00:42:03 12 they did some segment at someone at a house and This this smoker was like out there. I just happened to be by it It was just an object near Anthony Bourdain at one point in his life So much aura that it just kind of just rubbed off into the smoker. Eww Sick. Yeah to moisturize it. Definitely don't want it now. I can't believe how long my gas tanks been lasting me on my grill Like it's every time I turn it on. I'm like today's the day it's going out. No just keeps going dude. It's like never-ending It's very efficient for a grill. It's not maybe it's haunted You can you can tell me pick it up. There's a certain there's a way to it
Starting point is 00:42:43 You just kind of like yeah, I don't want to know though You You know I just kind of want to I just kind of want to see Yeah, it's gonna be devastating though when I got like a you know it's gonna bone on there It's gonna happen that happens that I feel like every dad He's probably hosting somebody or he's got some steaks. He's been itching to cook. Oh, yeah It doesn't happen when you're grilling vegetables now like something like that It happens when you get like a big chunky ass steak that you can't just like do anything with No, you're gonna have a night where your home Brother just you oh no. Oh brother now you're speaking my language
Starting point is 00:43:12 You're gonna go you're gonna go get like a porterhouse and you're gonna I'm gonna go I'm going off here and you're gonna realize you don't have it You're gonna have to do it inside if I buy a nice steak I will simply switch out the tanks before I do it. So I have a brand new one fire that bitch up. I Did walk out the other day of 600 degrees because I'd set everything on fire, but I'm different like that. I Don't know that I've seen the Austin Bourdain No, I'd like to I don't even know what it would be on. He's got so many different shows. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah I wonder what he would think about modern-day Austin current Austin
Starting point is 00:43:43 He'd probably shit on it because it would get him credibility, but I mean there's a lot of good restaurants here. So I don't want to hear it. There's a real problem with the dive bar scene. Everyone's shutting down. They gotta buy their land. Stop being... Rent's too damn high. Yeah, if you want to be... I think it's tough for dive bars to be renting their space because no one wants their space to like look like a dive bar and have the economics of one. The true dive bar, they own the space and the reason that it exists is because they don't have to have any operating costs. Yeah dude.
Starting point is 00:44:15 Traditional dive bars aren't supposed to be run well. Yeah, correct. You're supposed to have like one person that opens it up every day, maybe another bartender, maybe someone in the back making some grilled cheese. Some guy hasn't like paid his tab in two months. What's the all come in? What's the ultimate dive bar? food like a hot dog Peanuts chips No, but if they made it like if they had like one kid like they had a little kitchen in the back It's a greasy burger that you're not supposed to order. Yeah people do because they're desperate eight airs eight airs in Dallas Dive adjacent okay, okay
Starting point is 00:44:55 Dylan are you gonna go to North Korea? Maybe they're opening up their borders for the first time in five years for tourists when we saw it happen our Auto warm beer. Yeah. Yeah, yeah we did. Yeah we did. We don't want that to happen again. You've been a fan of Kim Jong-uns for a long time. Huge fan. Do you plan on maybe trying to go and see him? Only if I can see him. If you went to North Korea would you dress like Kim Jong-un? Absolutely. I'll get the haircut and everything. I don't think you would. Do you have the hair for that? No, I certainly don't. Do you think
Starting point is 00:45:29 Do you think you'll know anyone that's going to take them up on going over to North Korea? They have a ski situation there apparently. Yeah, but why don't you just go to South Korea or possibly Japan to ski and not risk being in a country ruled by a dictator. Because aren't you intrigued by the idea of North Korea a little bit? I've seen the James Franco movie and I think I know what it's like there. Still gotta watch that.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Dave, please watch it. It's seriously one of the funniest movies ever. I crushed a total of seven episodes of Lost over the last week. You could have watched the interview three times. I read a prompt the other day on Reddit that was was like what's the funniest movie that doesn't get credit for it and everyone was saying Dewey Cox which I actually think is a really good answer Dewey Cox is good Dewey Cox is really funny but the interview could be in the conversation for funniest movie that doesn't get enough credit James
Starting point is 00:46:17 Franco in that movie is just perfect I've got no desire. I think I'd draw the line at China. China. China. Okay. I just don't, I don't fuck with the vibe. You want to go to Japan? No, I'm talking about for like authoritarian, you know.
Starting point is 00:46:38 Yeah, I think China is a good line to draw. I don't like- I do want to go to Japan though. I would like to go to China as well. I had some roommates at the vape house who went to China and they all came back and looked like they just had the time of their lives. But man, you couldn't bring early bird.
Starting point is 00:46:54 You'd have to double check, triple check all your luggage, make sure you don't have like a random yeah but if the literal half a Xanax in there from like three years ago. If the literal like early bird guys don't need early bird in China. That's a great point. Then like we'll be fine, you know?
Starting point is 00:47:10 God, you know they're going through your stuff. I got hand swabbed and I got picked for a hand swab. I got picked for a hand swab while I was walking through the machine with Fritz and they were about to swab his hands. You're not swapping, you can't swab a baby. I told Fritz, go over there. Don't, like I'll take the heat if this lady really wants to swab your hands,
Starting point is 00:47:27 but I don't think it's necessary to swab my three-year-old. Yeah, he probably wasn't putting bombs together. The lady looked at me and she just kind of was like, Yeah, you don't need to do that. That's insane. She was very respectful after the fact, but when- Yeah, getting called to swab your kid's hands, let me- he's three years old!
Starting point is 00:47:43 How do you explain to him? What just happened? You don't I can't even explain what just happened. Like why why is it always me who gets randomly selected? Yeah, you gotta explain 9-eleven and then you're like look here's what happened. Hmm TSA and now you got to go through the security stuff and now like they thought maybe and there was a chance you were assembling a bomb And you were gonna bring on the plane So to terrorism it's not like it's something that's been around for a long long time. We're actually arming Al Qaeda the group who would attack us on 9-eleven in the 80s against the Soviets in Afghanistan and You know, he's just kind of like what he's like, hold on dad. What why they're just rubbing your hands Yeah, the's not been Laden
Starting point is 00:48:26 Do you ever read this book the terrorist by Carolyn B. Cooney? No, dude Was out before terrorism was really you know, cool. Yeah. Okay. Yeah to me. Yeah, you have a copy of it It's a young adult novel. I'd have to check in my my childhood bedroom I'm on a I'm on a fiction grind, so I'll freak with it. Okay, okay. I'm about to download a book. Okay. I'm not sure which one, but I'm about to download one.
Starting point is 00:48:50 I'm thinking about going with a classic. I have to read on this vacation I'm going on, dude. If I don't fucking read, it's over. If you can't read on vacation, you're just not a real reader. I read a Medici family book going up before I went to Florence, like On the Plane. Oh, that's a good idea.
Starting point is 00:49:04 Just to kind of get a little. Maybe I should mash that podcast button. Yeah, you should. No, I need to read. I can't even read, man. I'm packing my Hey Dudes. Stop. What, dude?
Starting point is 00:49:19 I don't like this. What are we doing? Dude, Sidney Sweeney's repping Hey Dudes, it's cool now. It's not, it's still not. Here's my take. Here's my take and do with it what you will. Sidney Sweeney is now endorsing Hey Dudes. She's in charge of the dudes. She's a dude director per the marketing campaign. It was soft launched with her just wearing them around town.
Starting point is 00:49:40 I knew they were Hey Dudes the second I saw those dork ass laces. Any dude that would be swayed by Sidney Sweeney already owns Hey Dudes. I knew they were hated the second I saw those dork ass laces Any dude that would be swayed by Sidney Sweeney already owns hey dudes very popular in South Carolina might I had Do you wonder why they're so popular and think to yourself? Maybe we're the ones missing out They are coming. They weren't called. Hey dudes. I might be more inclined to like try some on hey, dude I can't wear wear something that's called Hey Dude. Killer cacti. Like this is, it's the worst shoe name of all time. It's not great. How do they settle on that?
Starting point is 00:50:10 God, what if they drop the bag for us? How are we gonna just delete a bunch of pods? No. I don't want that. No, I think it's a better story for them if they convert us and we'd like become genuine fans of Hey Dudes. Hey guys, we were skeptical at first too, but.
Starting point is 00:50:22 No, we'd get in trouble if we started with hey guys. Oh good point good point Hey when you got we need a make good on that ad read you guys did you said hey guys not hey dudes What if you pull up with the hey dudes and in your pocket you got a pack of dude wipes You're just the ultimate dude and you're gonna go home and watch dude perfect 30 for 30 You have to wear either hey dudes or like the early model All birds all birds. I Think so too. Yeah, I'm sure for sure. I think so. Yeah, I talked about earlier How like after em Rada said that guys need to always wear socks. I've just worn socks all the time
Starting point is 00:51:00 It shows that I think I probably sway more em Rada than Sweeney, because there's no part of me that even wants to even think about hey dudes. Or the shoe is so bad that even Sidney Sweeney can't convert you. You think about that? Sometimes I do think that I shouldn't make personal life decisions based on hot celebrities. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:20 But then I do it and it feels good. I'm wearing socks right now just thinking like, dude, Emrata would love me. Emrata has claims in real estate in my brain about the sock situation. It's it's dire She's called it an egg. Mm-hmm Mm-hmm. Oh, I didn't I got an egg story what? to get my connecting flight to Greenville I I had to run with a backpack on oh no dude. What were you doing? That's so icky
Starting point is 00:51:46 So trying to get my fly. I had no choice impossible to look cool. I knew it, too I was like yeah, I could feel like kind of bouncing this sucks this sucks Anyone has a video of Dave running through the airport If you were in B terminal in Atlanta, you probably saw me If you were in B terminal in Atlanta, you probably saw me It was tough scene. It's tough when you like actively know that you're exhibiting an ick in front of everybody You know, there's nothing I could do. It was just a backpack. I mean I could have I don't know I had no options Yeah, what are you gonna do hold it in front of you people?
Starting point is 00:52:20 I think you have a bomb in it if you're just running with your back. Yeah, it's like oh this guy's got some contra Yeah, what's going on? Has he been swabbed? Can we swab a player up?
