Baranches. Hey, we're back. Circling Back podcast. Is something funny to you, man? Hearing Sam Taylor, she brings joy to my life, man. She's in Italy right now. She's in Capri. Mispronouncing things.

Capri. And standing awkwardly for pictures. And she's just the gift that just keeps on getting. Dylan shivery, ladies and gentlemen. She's in posit. right now, Dave. Positano. Positano.

Positano. Anyway, I am very happy to be here. This is going to be a great episode. We have a fantastic rundown, which, you know, Thursdays, sometimes they can get a little bit light after talking about shit all week long. Today is not one of those light days. It's a heavy day. It's a heavy day. Just like every time I go to the gym.

Yeah, or going that bathroom. What? We brought in a big dog to produce today. Ryan, Ryan's producing. He's been here all week. Yeah, I know, but we brought them in today. It's true. So we got a heavy wrongdown.

We need you to produce. Producer Ryan, hi. Called me in from the bullpen, got up, got loose. I'm ready to get into this one. That's right. He's a situational lefty. You know, Brett calls it a pool pet, and we don't really know why. Hmm.

All right. I think he misspoke one time and just tried to like, own it. He dug his heels in and tried to explain it away. Like, dude, that doesn't work. It's not the hill you want to die on. No. No. He's like, like, you're pulling me out of the pin.

Like, are we? Yeah, I guess, kind of. I don't know. Idiot. Listener voicemails. Recorded those yesterday. They were great. Those dropped tomorrow.

We did cold call earlier in the week. That's also available for your consumption on Patreon. It's a great time to go check out the patron, Patreon. Try free for seven days. Okay. We've got roommate week coming up, final Tuesday of the month. I always do a theme in this week's theme or this month's theme,

excuse me, is roommate. And God, I've gotten many. I've got one in my inbox and has a word doc attached to it that I haven't jumped into. Just kind of intimidating for the morning. I was like, well, we'll get into that later. Can't wait, dude.

Yeah, so that'll be, I guess, two Tuesdays from now. Two Tuesdays from now? Does that sound right? Two Tuesdays from now, please? Sure. Or is it next week? next Tuesday will be what like the 22nd no 23rd oh dude it's it's next week we have two

tuesday no it's not next week they pronounces it tuesday tuesday that's a bummer because i was looking forward to coming back from vacation and jumping right into theme week but that's okay that's okay it's gonna be a banger either way uh we've got a newsletter that'll be in your inbox tomorrow if you want it go to washdotsubstack.com we're gonna do a better job of promoting that outside of the pod It takes a lot of people hear it. They're like, I got to go sign up and stuff. We'll post something. That'll be something we do.

Need to do more posting. So check it out every Friday. Hopefully when you get into work, boom, it's right there. It's got some blogs in it. A couple blogs, maybe three, sometimes. Maybe we've even had four at one time. So you never know. This week it'll probably be two.

I'll be doing mine today. So how about that? Okay. Great. Yeah. Do you have anything you want to say on that? I also will. I don't know yet what my writing topic's going to be. That's why I was just kind of talking myself through it. I don't know yet. I will settle on something and I will write it and it

will be in your inbox in the morning. That's how that works. Fantastic. Early bird CBD. I got to tell you. Yeah. I got to tell you. I'm traveling this week. We're driving down at the coast. And I will have the drops with me for nighttime, for sleepy time. They just added the drops. You know them from the gummies. We've been pushing the gummies for them since this, literally the first episode of this podcast in 2019. Early bird, they're good friends, but yes, they have dropped the drops. It's a hemp-derived water-soluble tincture formulated with a feel-good balance of THC and CBD. Each servings got roughly 2.5 milligrams of THC and 12.5 milligrams of CBD. They're great.

I like to drop it into sometimes just a glass of water, sometimes my peppermint tea. I did that last night. It's water soluble. It can mix it with any beverage. It's got zero cal, zero sugar. The dropper format allows you to fine-tune the right dose for the right moment.

And the drops are unflavored. There's a hint of the tart earthy taste from the plant. But I'm a big fan of the tea, dropping it in tea. I feel like it pairs well with a hot tea. I do water because I like to taste it. The gummies, listen, they're still goaded. Yes, they have a new product.

Yes, they have a new product and yes, it's awesome. The gummies are still there and they're still amazing. We love them. 2.5 milligrams of THC, 12.5 milligrams of CBD in each gummy. It's perfect for a guy like me. I prefer a strawberry flavor. I know you're a watermelon boy and that's fine. Lemon's great too.

Certified, good dudes. Certified. I'll provide a little anecdote here. Go off the... You said this thing's loaded. I'm going to zig a little bit. Hold on. Let me update this.

Dave anecdote. You don't even have to put it on the rundown. It's on it. I'm just going to get out ahead of it. Case anybody saw me this morning at Lifetime, uh, hitting pads. I did a session with a trainer up there. And buddy, this was everything from jumping rope to putting a lacrosse ball under my, like, hip and lying down on it.

Damn. You ever done that? I've used a lacrosse ball at home that I use for back pain, which I have frequently. He immediately pointed out like, hey, yeah, you've got, like, you've got a little bit of a hip imbalance. You probably have some lower back pain because it's this side's dominant. and it's kind of your pelvis is tilted one way or the other. He's like, try this a crossball. Did he put you on the measuring thing that does like all?

How did he know that? No, he did it just by looking at me. We did like most of the workout and he's like, yeah, I can tell based on some stuff, the rotational stuff. So at the end of it got over on like a stretching table, crossball under there. And I'm like lying on it. Dude, that thing at first, you're like, how am I going to sit here for a minute? Then you just kind of ease into it.

And then you move it, move it around the glute a little bit, releases things. Yeah. Anyway. And then there's like, because he, I told him, because his, his background is in, he's got a combat sports background. So he held pads and we worked on some stuff. I was hitting pads. And you know how it has been, you think you know what you're doing. And then you go, like our buddy Andrew over at a. I'm, I'm convinced that that boxing is the best cardio that someone can do. You use your entire body. Yeah. Yeah. It's just, it's so intense. was soaked, dude. I was, my shirt was completely soaked and, you know, I'm going to be feeling it in spots. I hadn't felt it. Oh, you're going to be sore tomorrow. Yeah. But, uh, so yeah, I was, but it was definitely kind of like front and center in the gym and I'm just like, you were putting on a show for everybody. You know, you're making sounds? I don't make sounds. I try to not too. That's the sounds I make. You got to breathe out. Yeah, keep that core tight. Oh, we did some core stuff too.

You think you do core, like you do enough core workouts. You're like, I do planks and all that. Sometimes I plank, We play with Brett sometimes here. And then he does the thing where he brings out the ball and he's like, get on it and roll around. It's just a different level. Yeah. And, you know, first time I've really been pushed by a trainer. Somebody knows what they're doing in a while.

I've never in my life done a personal training session. I like to do it every now and like every so often to make sure like on like some lifts that I'm like doing it right. I could certainly use a training session. And then like also just to kind of like mix it off because I do the same. dumb shit. I still look like a complete dickhead. You look like a dickhead. I do look like a dickhead. Put that. I don't run it back. You know, it's nice to mix it up. So I tell you all that because I just want to let people

know if I'm operating at a really low level or really high level. I don't know how this is going to be received. It's probably because of that. So there you go. Hey, we don't have comments of the week. So this better be a good run of back. You got a feeling for for Randall. It's pretty light right now, honestly. We've got a lot of pod left. Yeah, I'll fill her in. How's morale over at Meta? Oh, yes. I've been wondering. This one I saw yesterday, and it tickled me a little bit. Okay. Not because that morale at Meta, formerly Facebook, is so low. And the reason for that, which I read in a Business Insider article, is because they just late, they just had a massive layoff. I think 10% of their entire workforce just got laid off.

and replaced by AI, which, as you know, is changing everything. Man, tough time to work in tech, I guess. Anyway, morale is low. That's not the part that tickled me. The part that I found kind of funny is that they increased the snack budget for everyone to get morale back on the right track. Oh, dude. That always works. The classic pizza party, which I don't know if it's exactly, it's a pizza party they're throwing there.

Or the WeWork Layoff party where they got Run DMC to come in and do like, it's tricky. Yeah, they're snack. That did. That really happened. They got Run DMC to come in and like boost the VT's morale. I'm wondering if an increased snack budget. I imagine their corporate headquarter where they all work or I imagine they have like, you know, their own cafeteria and like high dollar chefs and like they take care of their employees, right?

I wonder what an increased snack budget exactly means. I don't know. Maybe they just, maybe it's just like us. Maybe they want, they have one guy who goes to Costco. and gets a bunch of like protein balls and chips. Maybe a few fridge sigs, you know? Dots pretzels and just dumps it all in a big box. The middle of the headquarters, they can all just...

They probably have a kitchen. I would imagine the size of this office. How many people do we think work there? At least 10. At least 10. Meta is here, correct? Are they not here? I don't think the headquarters.

There's an office here. It's not the headquarters. Okay. Yeah, I'd love to know how their snacks compared to ours. And like if they're... Where is men of headquarters? Because I feel like we have above average snacks. I'm not just saying that because I'm head of the snack committee.

Menlo Park, California, which is Silicon Valley. Yeah, the snacks, the snacks here, you know, we try to skew healthy. We've got some people, if there's more than two grams of sugar and something, we got somebody who'll cry like a baby. So we have a lot of low sugar snacks. We've got the fridge sigs. We've got, hell, we've got Celsius too, Haas. Let's just throw some chips at them.

That'll fix everything. Good pack of lays. That's just not going to work. No, I think you got to, it's like you've got to increase the entertainment budget. You got to, like, bring in, you know how when empires fall, like, Rome, you know, put it, focus more on like the gladiators, the Coliseum, the fights. Give them bread and circus. I think it's already a pretty pampered workforce over a meta, I would think.

Maybe. I mean, you always hear those places because they want you to be at the office more. It's competitive. They want to keep you away from Google and all these other, you know, mess. It's competitive. Tech giants. And they also want you to feel like, oh, yeah, if I'm at the office 12 hours a day, I got everything I need here.

There's probably a great gym. There's probably showers. They don't want you to leave. They probably got, honestly, they probably have trainers. They want you locked in at all times. But yeah, get them some sun chips, hoss. We don't have quite the perk package that Meta has, I don't think. Dude.

We're close. Imagine popping a perk at Meta. Can you imagine? Imagine seeing Zuck on perk. I wake me out. Just zooted. Meta is known for they have to pay a lot more above the market rate for the same positions because so many people are just like, no, I don't want to work for you guys.

So I think it's like 20 to 30% more they have to pay an employee for the same position at like Google or anthropic or any of these other companies. Sorry, I missed the first part. What's the reason for it? Just because morale, people don't want to work there. So to get the same level of talent, they have to pay at a higher scale. Some people have a code and they're like, I don't want to be a part of what you're doing. Yeah. The article that I mentioned, the last time morale was this low, according to their CTO, was of course, during the, what was it called? Sorry, give me a sec here. Was it the election? They got in a lot of heat for the election.

That is, yes, that is what, that's what he referred to in this. Bots, Russia, things of that nature. They targeted, yeah, they targeted political ads that they used. They pulled, they scraped your data and they targeted you with political ads. Of course, they got in a lot of trouble for that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's, that's tough.

They're not the only ones doing it by any means, but. No. Zuck was it, the UFC thing. thing. His father, the dentist was in Austin. Yeah, you honestly plotted, you were hoping to kidnap him. We were at a South by Southwest event. Actually, it was our South by Southwest event at a bar. What year was this? 20. It feels like 2022. Maybe earlier. Yeah. And we were there. And because of South by Southwest, they had this panel, like three or four people were sitting in front of microphones answering questions. Right after us. About dentistry.

Great panel. And one of them was Dr. Zuckerberg, Mark's father, and we were like, what? It was just, it was weird that he was just there. You fantasized about kidnapping. And I was like, man, this would be a great opportunity to hold this guy for ransom. His very rich son could, you know,

break off a few stacks for you. I know, we didn't do it. No, we didn't do it. We don't have the experience. We didn't do it. Is there a statute of limitations on conspiracy to commit kidnapping? Oh, that's a good question.

I mean, we're about four years out now. It's got to be close. We firmly decided again. So we had a little powwow, like, let's not do this. I wasn't there, dude. I was in Eisenhower's. And to this day, we still have no plans. I want to get, I want to be clear.

Yeah. Yeah. It was very interesting when I walked into the bathroom where they had like the audio from the panel playing. And I'm like, peeing. And it's like, what the fucking dentist panel? And then I'm like, Mark Zuckerberg's dad is a dentist? Who knew? Who knew?

Yeah. It wasn't, I will say, it wasn't a particularly. well-attended Southside panel. No, I think most people there were there for us. Yeah, we didn't do a panel. We just hung out with people. Yeah, we just, we just hammered absolutely hammered. Stop by events with us.

It's usually like, hey, you guys want to buy his drinks? And it turns out what people do. Fairly common. And we always like everyone like weeks leading out, it's like, do not, I will do one shot. That's it. Because there's been, you know, those things, those have gotten away from us in the past. Not South by. South by was good.

That was perfect. It was money. That's a little home field advantage for you, boys. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, for sure. You get us in Chicago, though, we act up. Chicago brings out the best.

All bets are off. You've got Johnny Dallas, Roman the streets. Johnny Dallas, hard money, Micah. Same person. Same guy, weirdly. Yeah. Well, okay. Well, if there's anybody at Facebook or META that wants to just come work here.

Yeah, if you got laid off. We got decent. We got snacks that are good, and I feel like we got a better company culture. We have not yet leveraged AI to the degree that we're letting people go. So you're welcome to, you're going to listen, you will have to take a pay cut. Probably. We're not going to pay you what Zuck did. But one of the crazier things with AI that's going on right now is all these big tech companies are requiring their engineers to use a certain amount of tokens or essentially just money on AI every year. And so a lot of the engineers have

started just developing like bullshit programs that do nothing, but it uses AI. So that way, when they have their performance review, they can go like, oh yeah, but I, I, I, I, used a hundred and twenty five k worth of tokens this year you need to keep me it's it's literally just like scamming the company to pay anthropic gpte all those companies and it's it's a it's bad feedback loop this this is going to crash at some point man you call him bubble yes okay it's a bubble you follow michael barry uh yeah uh was that the the big short guy correct yeah he's the guy who called it, but I, you know, I loosely follow him. I literally follow him on X, but like, I don't really know what he's talking about. I have like a topical knowledge. But I always see like,

people just ragging on him because he always says like, oh, there's a bubble and people are like, no. Yeah. He's, I think like two years ago, he pulled all of his money out of the market because he was just like, this is stupid. None of this makes sense. There's no fundamentals. A company that makes $18 billion is IPOed for a trillion dollars. Shout out SpaceX backholders. It's, it's, it's, It's ridiculous right now. He's bearish on NVIDIA. About $100 worth of those spaces. Did you?

Yeah. Damn. I think that's going down. Yeah. It's going this way. So famously, I don't buy, do you ever buy the dip? Yeah. No, yeah.

That's sometimes a good idea. You can get some things on sale. I don't. Okay. I wait till it's all the time high. Yeah. Yeah, I don't buy losers. We call that buy high sell, though.

You get it. It's a bold strategy, but it works out sometimes. Dave only buys winners. I buy winners, dude. He cuts the losers. You're out of here, buddy. Buy bitch, is what I say to it as I sell it. Buy bitch.

Yeah, that's what he says. I'm talking to my broker. Yeah. On my headset as I'm putting in my office. Really? Like, sell it, by bitch. I've never heard you talking to your broker on the phone. You fucking have a hearing problem.

You don't ever hear me talking about brooks? Your brooks? Who is the brob Bible guy? Is it Bill the broker? Remember the old ass in it? I don't know. God, there's a broker character. Whatever. It doesn't matter. You know what does matter? Tell me.

I did not know Terry Cruz had a sex addiction or porn addiction. You couldn't waterboard this information out of me. I don't know why he's freely giving this information to the public. I agree with that, take, Dylan.

Why would you share this information? I'm going to sound like this is an original thought, but it's not. This comes from a friend who does not struggle with a similar addiction, but he provided some context that this is part of the recovery process can be. Now, you don't have to necessarily share this info public, especially if you're a very public person. person, but maybe this is how he deals with it. Taggers a head on. Maybe your inner circle. Maybe your inner circle.

I don't know about sitting in front of a microphone that's being recorded that will later be released onto the internet. Is the avenue I would take? You took some steps in this direction though when you took Wild on number one in your shows where you grew up on draft. You kind of did. You kind of exposed yourself as just an OG real gooner. Right. Do you know the show Wild on with Brooke Burke?

It was on the E channel. Definitely before your time as a young man. It was a crucial part of my formative years, though. You know what that means. Yep. What do you think that means? He was gooning. No, no, I never said that.

I never said that. Anyway, can you play this video, obviously, with sound? It was, I got a day off from the set. I'm usually on location, and I could watch porn from a, probably 10 o'clock after my workout 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. at night. 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. at night. It wouldn't stop. And I couldn't stop. It was what you would call a splurge. Like, it just couldn't stop. I couldn't. When day turns in the night and you're still watching, I knew I had a problem. It was, I got a day off from. So I'm usually on location. And you were splurgeon.

I've got a friend. Different friend. Probably 10 o'clock after my work out 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. at night. Man, I got to text in my friend. That's 13 hours straight. I have a friend who after when he is doing the act watching a video, even after he completes said act, he's very open by this. He runs it out. He says he wants to see how it ends.

Okay. So he will watch the video. Even if he's done a minute in, he's like, well, I'm going to see how this goes. I want to see I'm not kidding I want to see if he actually fixes the washing machine or the person gets unstuck

yeah does she ever get unstuck yeah he's he's that that's that is wild it's so it's so hard to get stuck under a coffee table I have to tell you

I almost want to call him he probably wouldn't like it if we called no let's not do that yeah dude this is you know what damn that is an addiction right there that's unbelievable

13 hours straight let me see that's forearms awesome Oh, dude. Stop. I'm not a real gooner. You've been struggling with that tennis elbow. How'd you get that?

Because you don't play a lot of tennis. I play a lot of tennis. Really? Yeah. Okay. Is this just part of his, like, cardio routine every day? You got to think you're burning some cows. Dude's in phenomenal shape.

We know that. Terry Cruz is, that's his bit. He's the jacked guy. Yeah. Played the president and idiocracy. Yeah. Which is not a good movie. Yes, it is.

It was more so a prediction of things. No, it's spot on. Yeah. I feel like it aged well. I just don't think it's a great movie. I'm sorry. Whatever. Did you even watch the whole thing?

How many days did it take you to watch the damn movie? It's a 90-minute movie. I watched it in one sitting, believe it or not. There's no way. I did, dude. There's no way. You're probably looking at your computer watch. Ryan, I famously,

uh, it's my wife who falls asleep mostly. I have to blame her. She falls asleep like 15 minutes in. I'm like, I guess we'll finish this another day. Pause. Anyway, that's, that's what he's talking about. It took up two years to watch the Lord of the Rings movies.

Now, they're long, but I don't think they're that long. Okay, it didn't take me two years. How long didn't it take you? I think I watched those without Chelsea. I think I watched each one in one sitting. I think, no, maybe not. There ain't no way. No one.

Someone's going to pull that tape. Like, let's call it two days per. What was your most egregious? What's the one? that we really were like, wait, we can't let this. It was that recent DeCaprio movie. What's the one? Recent Decaprio.

The Tarantino? Is it Tarantino? No, no, no. You're talking about Once Upon a Time? No, no, I love that movie. I'm talking about the one where they're like political activists. Oh, oh, wow, the Champagne. Yeah, yeah.

That one I tried to watch. One battle after the other. Thank you. Yeah. That's the one. try to watch it like five different times and I kept falling to sleep. And finally, I just, I decided that this movie is not meant for me to watch. And I just completely gave up on it.

I couldn't make it through. The first 20 minutes of that movie are not great, though. Yeah, man, it famously didn't win any awards. It must have sucked. I got to have pride in it because it was shot in Sacramento. I can't speak to the one. I can't speak to the 20 minutes in it and, you know, beyond. They say the best way to judge a film is the first 20.

Yeah. It doesn't grab you. That's how I judge books, just by their cover, actually. The first page does it grab Dylan. He's not books going on the fire. He's throwing it out. Yeah. He's got a fire constantly burning.

Yeah, just tossing books in there. Real book burner over there. Yeah, you love burning books. Yeah. You're always on the news. It's very German of you. Yeah, what's going on? Come on, man.

You all right? Come on. Terry Cruz, well, we hope you're doing better. He's a real gooner. He is. That's some real shit. This is next level. That's real.

I don't know why he wanted to share this with everybody, but he did. So we have to talk about it. Is that one of the 12 steps? Getting on a podcast? They should have a step. It's like, dude, just go on a pod. Do a pod.

There's so many nowadays, yeah. Damn, that's got a lot of views. That's a lot of views. Yeah, there's 20.3 million. About the same number of views he gives those videos he's watching, it sounds like. Also, did you calm down? He's the one.

He's the calm down. You think he's giving 20 million views? Probably not. Terry views. Terry views. What's what they're calling him? What's he been doing? I think we know.

I mean, seriously, I don't know. Is he on what show? What's his latest? I don't know. There's got to be a way we can make money off this. Some marketing opportunity available now. Yeah, I think the first sex, the biggest sex addiction was the cat, was big cat, was Tiger. The first time, you know, back in the day.

Which he would have kept to himself had he not gotten his cover block. It was in a pre-pod world. Yeah. But yeah, that was the first time people were like, whoa, sex addiction. And, you know, I'm sure the late night comics had a field day with it. The Dillons of the world. This guy's addicted to sex. I guess that makes me an addict as well.

You would have said, your stand-up said. I wouldn't have said that. You're tight two minutes. But yeah, I guess some people, oof, I don't know, man. when that that thing where you're doing something you shouldn't be doing in night your day turns to night and you realize it you're like that's the real

can be anything. Like sun setting like yeah you like when you're out and you've been at a bar and like you went in and it was like you know two o'clock and you come out oh fuck that's when like you really realize like I really got into one that wasn't good

that wasn't good the sunset he's taking like lunch break dinner break he's getting it catered she's crazy Those are crazy numbers. I mean, insane numbers. I mean, even on like a sick day in high school. Right.

You know, you're not wrong. We grew up in a different world than you. You had, I mean, we didn't have, our, we had 56K dial up. We had dial up internet. Yeah. We had, we had, wait 15 minutes for an image to download. Yeah.

Come on, Tiffany, Embertheson. And we would sit there and watch it. load for 15 minutes. So to speak. Please load. And then like somebody comes in, you turn off. What, what do you do? His computer's broken. What the fuck?

Trying to play a game. Hey, we're doing. This thing, did you break this? It would load along with a virus that your family would have to deal with. Somebody knocks on the door. Like, what the fuck? I'm in here trying to take a nap. You get real mad.

And you're like, God, that was overreaction. Why did I get so mad? It's such a, oof. But in your head, you're like, they'll never know. Yeah, they've got no clue. I'm good. I'll tell you what. I'm good at my Tocovus.

We hit you with some questions yesterday. And I feel like you've got your sea legs now. You understand the pod. You've interacted a little bit through voicemails with some listeners. And even on Cole Call. What are your thoughts here about what we're doing? Yeah. I mean, to give some background, I've been listening to a podcast probably since 2010, 2011.

I started early in it when like YouTube creators were starting to do that. And so I really enjoy how you guys kind of have the more laid back atmosphere here. You're not trying to throw things in people's faces constantly. It's just it's a good chill kind of hangout vibe. I will say listeners' voicemails, that's an awesome segment. It's really cool to get that direct feedback from the people who are listening. So that was cool to be a part of. Cold calls.

It's a cool one as well. The other thing I love is this isn't a political talk show. No. Because I feel like every podcast. nowadays has to make it known that they want to talk about politics. You don't have to. It's okay. We can have entertainment without that.

Yeah, I like to think of it as like a shut your brain off and just kind of, you know, listen to some idiots talk about nothing for a little bit. Just a fun, easygoing. Just hanging out with the boys. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You know, we don't really algorithm haunt too much. No. There's some things we do that we know will play on the, on the Reels, Instagram Reels. Like we'll do a draft or something, but like, We don't go out of a way to have like an especially hot take. Yeah. You know, Dylan, Dylan may have a take. It's a real take about Banana Ball.

And that may find the Algo Jetstream. But we don't go out and hunt it. Unfortunately, that is the new meta in podcasting, most effective tactic available. You have to clip farm. You have to get people engaged with a 60 second video that either makes them so happy they want to come to your show or so mad, they become a hate watcher. Polarizing. Polarizing topics. play. I hate it.

Yeah. It's a bit cheap. Yeah. I mean, politics is the obvious polarizing you know. It's low hanging fruit. It is. To me, it just kind of feels like, okay, I read Twitter this morning and now I can just regurgitate their takes. Like, yeah. No, I want to hear

the banana ball take. Come on. Let's talk about some real shit. Yeah. Yeah. Or Terry Cruz spending 13 hours in the Goon Cave. I wonder if that was his personal record. I hope so. God damn. And if you're out there in chat, let us know your personal goon record. Let us know, chat.

There's a good clip. I want to know. Okay. Well, good. I don't know how much when Dan, I don't know if you talked to Dan before. If he was like, oh, yeah, it'll be easy. These guys are this, this, and this. I don't know if what you knew coming into it.

Yeah, no, Danny Regs told me nothing, actually. Didn't talk to him once. He texted me last night asking how it was going. And I was like, yeah, it's going great. How's he doing? A bunch of guys. He's a little busy at a. his new spot and softcore history they're still working on that as well so uh big big fan of that show

i like him and rob's dynamic there there's some funny dudes over there yeah um dan is uh dan somebody we got to get back on he had he was doing the show pretty often uh i feel like maybe once every couple weeks and then he got that full-time gig haven't seen him in a month or so but we'll get him back um okay good man i yeah i think it's been it's been solid it's been a good a good week of content. Yeah, I would tend to agree. This next segment says, I'm going to stick some dirt up my ass. What's going on here? That is what it says. Yeah, sorry for that. This is again with the clip farming, I'll go hunting. So this was a funny video that was accidentally tweeted by the official Texas baseball account. So as we know, Texas baseball lost to Georgia in the college

World Series in Omaha. And this video is Anthony Pack Jr., who, by the way, was the national freshman of the year, had a great season. Is he? What position is he? He plays left field. Okay. And he hit 400 in SEC play as a true freshman.

He's nasty. He's really good. Anyway, game's over. And I guess it's tradition for some of the guys on their way out of Omaha to collect a little bit of dirt, put it in a jar. And he says, while he's in the video, like, I will be back. I'm taking this home. I will be back.

His teammates are just out of frame in this video. You can't see them, but you can hear them pretty clearly. This video has since been taken down or else we'd be playing it for you. I did a little search. I could not find the original video. So we have a screen grab from the video. And in the video, his teammates are saying, they're just talking to each other, kind of cutting up.

And one of them says, I'm going to stick this dirt up my ass. Okay, it's great because I have not actually, I didn't see the video, but you can tell like this is like a, you know, they always show. He's having a moment, you know. They show in like when there's a World Series, there's been some famous examples of this when like the team that loses, they sit there over the dugout, watching the other team celebrate. It's kind of like, yeah, it's like, yeah, I'm never going to forget how this felt. I'm going to be back. And that's kind of what they're going for. And it's a great photo.

And I saw it, he got the dirt. And then you just have. The video was left up. It was actually left up for a while. So people caught on to what was said in the background. And of course, fans of, you know,

other programs, namely Texas Tech and A&M were like, oh, dude, these fucking guys are fucking gay. You know, like one of those. This is,

this is classic baseball guys. This is boys being boys. This is baseball. Tell me you've never played baseball without time. Yeah, exactly. The baseball guys are just inherently weird. Like,

they're weirdos. Yeah, so this kind of shit. Like, it didn't even, like Anthony Peck Jr. I'm sure he heard them. It didn't even phase it.

He's like, this is just like kind of shit of here all the time. It was really funny, though. I'm going to stick some of this turtum. Dude, just put the,

don't delete, put it back up. Texas, release the files. I want to, I, I need to find the original so we can share it

with everybody. It's so funny. Man. I think it's funny because I think I saw that video without audio on. Yeah. I remember because I was like,

oh, yeah, they're doing, they're like grabbing some dirt for their desk or something. And I had no clue that was in the background. Oh, man. It was funny.

It was funny. That's great. He probably didn't stick dirt up his ass. He probably just said he was going to. I'd be real gritty, I feel like, would it be very comfortable. You got to change your drawers out later. Most doctors would advise you against that. This is not medical advice.

I mean, do what you want out there, you know? It's a free country. What you choose to do behind closed doors. Do you consult a doctor before putting, you know, doing any of that. Dirt, you know, dirt's dirt. Probably smart. Oh, so funny. That's all I have on that I just needed to share.

Shout out to my long horns. We'll back out of next year. A player of his caliber, assuming he stays on this trajectory, how long can you expect him to be in college? So a college that you have is either a three-year minimum. So when you commit to playing college, you're signing up for three years. However, there is an exemption if you're on the older side, then two is the minimum. So I think he's a three-year guy.

So he'll be at Texas for two more years and he will likely be a first-round draft pick. Is that to help the college programs? so that way, you know, some dude doesn't have like a crazy hot season and they gets drafted right away. I don't know, but I know that, so a lot of these kids are like, he was drafted out of high school. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They have a big decision to make. It's either go start getting paid now or you commit to, you know, three years. It's a big commitment.

It's not like basketball where you can be one and done. So there is a lot of thought that goes into. That's why a lot of these kids who are drafted high, they just forego college completely and they start making money right away. Well, there's that. I feel like that's kind of changed in the past couple years because, yeah, if like 2010, If you were drafted even, you know, third or fourth round, you're probably just going to start going to the minors and make money. Yeah. But I do feel like the Paul Skeens of the world and some of these other guys who have come out of college now, pretty developed and ready to go.

It's kind of made kids be like, all right, that might be a good idea. You know, let's go work on my skills a little bit. There's also the NIL factor in rep sharing. So they do get paid. I think a lot of the signing bonuses for like the first few rounds is like a million plus. It is, but it falls off quick. Oh, yeah, big time, big time. So, yeah, it's a major decision.

Like Texas, I mean, Texas has the number one recruiting class in the country, but they also expect about five of those guys to never set foot on campus. Kind of the nature of baseball. Yeah. A guy I went to high school with famously threw me in a pool, ninth grade party, got drafted by the Yankees. Probably like, I feel it was in the 20-something range round. I remember his signing bonus.

And he bought like a, like a F-250. Yeah. It's pretty sick. Yeah. Yeah. 20-something round, you're probably, you're probably, it's probably only like between one and $200,000, which, you know, if you're a high school kid, that's honestly. That sounds right, honestly.

Yeah. He ended up pitching. He got to the Bigs, played a, played in the Korea as well. Do you think you remember still in Unipool? He might. We're still, we, I haven't talked to him, but we're, we follow each other. No, you're homies. lie.

Yeah, dude, we're best friends now. There you go. So, see, to be fair, I was ninth grade, I probably deserved it. I probably deserved it.

I probably deserved to get thrown in the pool. It wasn't like a push him in. It was like a pick me up and ragdoll, throw me in the pool. Fully clothed, by the way.

Not at, like, no one was in the pool. I was. But. Just Dave. I think that was just bullying, man.

No, it was. I mean, look, I've been on both, I've been on both sides of it, you know? more so on the other end but you know

on that occasion I remember getting like floated being like thrown in getting down to the bottom of the pool and like having the thought almost like the scene when Will Ferrell gets darted in the neck in old school and he falls in the pool

and Simon and Garfunkel starts playing this is pretty old school but in my head I was like actively thinking like oh my God my high school careers over my high school life is over you're under the water just a million thoughts going to your head like it felt i don't even i don't even want to go to the surface seriously no it felt like i was under there for an hour everyone saw what happened just let it take you at the whole part i'm the i'm the guy yeah you got thrown in all of these are all accurate thoughts this is this is and i was there and i got

out and i was i was like what do i do i try to be like have fun with it like yeah come on you can't just shake it off because you're soaking wet the water's everything you have is so you can't just like, oh, I'm good now. Like, you gotta, there's a whole process in getting dry. You get in your clothes. You gotta go change. It's a whole thing. I didn't change.

I don't know what, I don't remember what I did. Probably you didn't have clothes with you. Right. Most people don't anticipate it going south like that. I'm not going to bring a change of clothes in case someone throws me in the pool. Maybe you should start. Maybe I should have, I should have known that.

Hey, don't worry, guys. I actually got another set of clothes over here. That was good fun, man. We're pals. This is the stuff we do. At this point, like, he was, he was a known he was like the quarter he was ninth grade he wasn't like the varsity quarterback but he was like the guy it was eventually be the quarterback and he was senior year he was the quarterback

and a you know baseball guy as well yeah I'm sorry man no it's okay it's pretty funny like it's such like a high school movie thing to happen like you're like down at the bottom of the pool like blown bubbles out crying It's fucking great. I wasn't a man of size in ninth grade. Probably wait about, hey, probably wait about a buck 30 wet.

Yeah, fun fact. And you were that night. I was almost certainly wearing like a big baggy, Abercrombie tea that I thought was real cool. I thought I was going to make out, maybe most. So you're going to talk to chicks.

Yeah. They're not talking to the kid who's soaking wet. Soaking wet. It's just ain't happening. They're like, they got the ick from you. We had the squad there. It was fine.

It was fine. After that, you know, I went and I picked a fight with him. I was like, nobody's going to remember who wins or loses. They're going to remember there's a fight. And I walked up and just got him. And then I was like, all right, somebody's going to break it up. He stung him real quick. And then he just beat the piss out of it.

That didn't happen. That's from a movie. It would be good character building, though. It would be. Good origin. That's my podcast origin story. And then you said he went on to the show, right? He did.

He pitched for the Giants a little bit. Okay. So bitching Korea a little bit. I guess what's the lesson here? If you bully someone else, you're going to become a famous big leader? Yeah. I mean, sometimes, I don't, you know, that wasn't, he wasn't like an inherent bully like throughout high school.

Yeah. What had happened, this was, I wasn't a random attack. I had, we were, there were girls that were actually getting in the pool. And there was a group of us, like, who, from what I remember, like, scaring them, like, we were going to throw him in and one of the girls fell in. She splashed and got water on this guy and his crew's clothes. Not a lot, but like a splash. And then it was, he threw me in.

He's like, you get my clothes wet, I get yours wet. And he did much more so, I have to say it wasn't a proportionate response. It's very American of him. Yeah, I mean, this is some good all-American fun. Yeah, I can tell it doesn't bother you at all anymore. It's just a little slice of American. I will bill you for this therapy session later. Yeah, you're, you should.

I got it. No, this is good. This is part of the healing process. It's talking about it on the pod. Just like Terry Cruz, yeah. It's just like it. After the pod, I'll show you his, I'll pull them up. Okay, cool.

See if you remember him. No, I bet Giants fans, they may remember him. Maybe if I can get him on the show, I may. He'd probably like that. That's a huge full circle moment right there. Yeah. Hey, man, I've just been waiting 25 years to tell you this man, but that day changed my life. Are they going to gut the hut?

I still don't know what this is really about. And you'd explain it to me. Yes or no. Are they going to gut the hut? No. You don't think the private equity firms that have acquired Pizza Hut are going to gut it, strip it? Not the ones that are- Sell it for parts? Not the ones that are going retro, right?

We just had a story on the retro Pizza Hut's coming back. Pizza Hut's not doing well. I don't know if you've been tracking. That's not, I'm not surprised to hear that, but it- Why? Because you think it sucks? I don't think Pizza Hut sucks. sucks. I think pizza that's pretty decent.

Are you pizza hud or dominoes? Who you taking? Pizza hot. Really? Yeah. Okay. I don't love dominoes. They did the, my favorite thing a company can do, especially one like that, where

like they have like a whole, 20 years ago, they do the basic humiliation of like, all right, we acknowledge our pizza kind of sucked. We're going to do things differently. And to their credit, they did. You know, they started doing like the little hint of. garlic butter on the crust and all that. And Domino's did get a little bit better, but they had to do like the full, like,

we just got to acknowledge, look in the mirror, look out there, and be like, yeah, our shit's not that good. But it's going to get better. My biggest problem with like the pizza huts, Papa John's, roundtables is the price to what you're getting. I feel like, especially nowadays, it is so expensive to get a pizza.

I'll just go to Little Caesars, man. Like, it's hot, it's ready. It's seven bucks with tax. It is hot and ready. It's good. That's the thing about it. Which round table? That might be like a Northern California one, but very similar type, sit down, salad bar,

all that type of stuff as well. Okay. So, yeah, their private equity has gobbled them up. And, you know, the fear with private equity, sometimes, sometimes, Jersey mics, they start looking for ways to cut costs. Like maybe we give them instead of pepperoni pizza, large pepperoni, instead of 30 individual pepperonies, What if we cut that down to 22? Yeah.

And they just start whittling away to save money. Don't like it. What if we cut the pepperoni in half and then give them half the amount of pepperoni? They would never know. They'd never know. Don't like it. So I'm just saying. Keep an eye out.

Keep an eye out on your hut. They might be getting out pizza. Man, I hadn't had pizza hut in a minute. Rhodes had it at a birthday party. Rhodes is my oldest boy a year or two ago. And for like a couple months, that's what he wanted. And he didn't know the name. He was just, I want the pizza that was at Johnny's, you know, Johnny's pizza that we had there.

And you're just like, really? You want the hut? Have to do that? Like, the hut goes, man. I mean, it's just, I don't know. Do literally baseball teams still go to like pizza places to celebrate? Is that a lost tradition? There are, I mean, there are, like, the pizza places I think you're describing are really, they're not really around anymore.

I mean, yes, there are a pizza place. and go to, but like the salad bar, they have like arcade, that kind of, that kind of thing, doesn't really exist anymore. It's a dying breed. Yeah, like we used to, Mr. Gaddies was the place in my neighborhood growing up. Loved it. I've tried it a couple times. And they had, they had, you know, a buffet and they had a screen, they play like cartoons

on, they had arcades, salad bar, the whole thing. And that was like, that was like a neighborhood staple. Like after, after Little League games, we would all go there. We would buy water cups and put Sprite in them, you know. It was an institution. Those aren't around anymore. After soccer, the final soccer game in the season, we went to Cic's. This is back when Cic's was like $1.99 for the buffet.

It was very cheap. Okay, that makes sense, though. But Marcus Lopez, 839 slices of pizza. He was like 8 years old. That's a fucking legend right there. We were like, dude, you ever eating so much pizza? We realized we were watching something special. We were like, he was like, watch this.

He ate. I mean, CCs isn't hard to put back, but once he hit like 20 slices, we're like, fuck, dude, you hit the wall. This dude's got to keep going, and he did. And got to the upper 30s, and we're like, dude, do different. Did he get anything for that?

Was they like a T-shirt? Love of the game. Respect. I respect that more now. Yeah, you could put back some C-Cs. We had a similar thing in high school. We wear crispy cream donuts, and this dude ate 17 donuts. Just a lot of donuts.

They had to be putting you through the ringer. But then he threw up in the parking lot. For the past. He couldn't handle it. Your body rejects that much sugar. It's a lot of shug. I could put down some crispy creams back in the day, man. They're good.

Their original glazed? Oof, I can kill a whole dozen. I remember when Krispy Cream first came to Texas. It was like a big, it was a big deal. Is there one around Austin area? Yeah. Okay. There was one on 183.

I assume it's still there. But that's been one of the good California things I've missed a little bit is a good Kris cream donut. I know donuts are different out here. Like there's all the different places, Shippleys, a couple of those. But the nice kind of crispiness of a crispy cream, they're good.

I miss it. I just go to the place that's called donut in the strip ball. And you walk in and it's a family. And you just go in, they got it right there. There's a place right here in Southamark called combo donuts. Okay. Don't know why it's called combo donuts. Combination.

They're really good. Really good. Get you a little pig in the blanket? Yeah. Do you want to heat it up? Yeah. Go ahead and eat it up, boss. I haven't done a good donut run for the fam. Rhodes likes donuts. Most kids do.

Parks loves donuts. Damn, he's never had a crispy cream. That might blow his mind. Maybe we'll do that. Give him some sprinkles on there. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He loves the novelty of a sprinkle. I've gotten over most pastries and dessert type items, but, dude, I'm weak for a donut. Really?

A good donut, really can hit the spot. If you're at, like, a nice restaurant, maybe a nice steakhouse. and they have like on their dessert menu like some sort of donut. There's a place in all, I can't remember if it's Jeffries. There's a, you know, they have a donut thing on the dessert menu. Get it. It's probably very, very good because that's like kind of a, that's a cocky move. You want a donut for dessert after your big gourmet meal at this steakhouse?

You know it's going to be good. Oh, yeah. Get you a donut. Donuts go so hard. They do. Let's do this weekend and fun. Bro, let's go out this weekend. There's a crazy event happening.

I like to turn up. Brod, there's a crazy event happening. We had the party and it was lit. I got yelled out by a prostitute. Let's just go. Have fun and let's go with it. Little more girls. Let's go.

supposed to be the weekend that uh we went to the lake house i was actually supposed to be gone already supposed to miss today's episode but we had to put that plan on hold got a couple sick folks in the family so we decided to, like I said, postpone it. My sister, brother-in-law, my nieces are actually staying at Barton Creek. They're there right now. They'll be there through Sunday. And so Parks and I will be headed up to Barton Creek.

Spend time with them, hit the pool, maybe get some dinner. Really excited for that. That'll be tomorrow and Saturday, most likely. You know what I like about the Barton Creek pool? Tell me. Just going over to the back. Watching people approach. Watching just.

Amateurs play 18. It is a lot of fun. For some reason, it is really fun. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty much all I have, man. I got Parks all weekend. I'm excited to spend time with the little guy.

And he'll probably want to have a sleepover at some point. He's in the age where, like, the peak of his life right now is just having sleepovers with his boys. What's the most you've had over? How many kids? Just two kids. That's a lot. Yeah. For a sleepover.

He loves it. So we'll probably plan something like that. Okay. And that's it. Pretty low key for the most part. I do miss having a good sleepover with like six of your bros. Be able to hop on the sticks. Yeah,

eat pizza all night. Yeah, no one sleeps until like 3 a.m. You all feel like shit the next day. We'd rent a movie. We'd go to Blockbuster. This'll date us. Go to Blockbuster.

Go get like a nightmare in Elm Street or some scary movie or some shit we shouldn't be seeing. Ah, so fun. So fun. I'm old enough to share that memory. So I hold that one with pride. That's my last little bit of millennial having me. I remember getting movies and then running a couple games from Blockbuster.

I have a vivid memory of being at the Blockbuster in Duncanville and looking over because there was a 6-11 man in there and it was Greg Oster Tag. Okay. Former Jazz Great. Yeah. He played at who was actually, I don't know if that was in like, he played on the Panthers, Duncanville Panthers in like 92. One state that year and he was the guy. So it was probably when I was like seven or eight, look over like, whoa, there's Greg Oster tag. Hard to miss.

Yeah. Like biggest dude in Blockbuster. So that was a fun one. Okay. Ryan, what's you got this weekend? Not too much on the docket. I think Saturday I might do something with my girlfriend, spend some time with her. And then Sunday, some of the guys I went out with last weekend, we're going to get together and do kind of like a, you know, our fathers aren't in the area.

So we're going to spend time with each other. Probably crack a couple beers. I know they talked about bringing some rifles over and doing like spray painting on them and getting like all the camo and good looking stuff on it. So that'd be cool. Kind of like a male adults, arts and crafts a little bit. Yeah. I didn't even mention Father's Day. I almost forgot that that was this weekend.

Aside from watching U.S. Open. I got you, Doe. Yeah. I don't even know what the plan is for Sunday, but I'm sure I'll see my dad. And obviously spend time by my boy. Okay. Hell yeah. All right.

That's dope. Yeah, it should be a good little time. Originally, I was going to fly home. The A's are playing at home this week in Sacramento, so I was going to go to the series with my dad. But it was kind of a good news, bad news. Got this opportunity with you guys. So we decided to spend some more time here in Austin.

Okay. All right. So wait, they're done with the Vegas tent? Yeah, they only played, I think, two series back to back there. And then, dude, they suck in Sacramento this year. I think I looked at the record this morning. They're like 16 and 20 something in Sacramento, but like away.

They're playing a lot better. So it's been rough. Yeah, again, probably well within striking distance. Yeah, I actually checked last night. They're only a game and a half back on Mariners right now. We actually bumped the Rangers in the standing, so. I don't want to talk about it. Yep.

I don't want to talk about it. Shout out, Rook. Yeah, shout out Rook. That's a boy. Might be listening. I'm headed out of town tomorrow. I'm going to, we're doing our Port A trip. We're doing it a little earlier this year.

Head down tomorrow morning. get in got the beach is waiting going to get our golf cart and just do it just going to do it um gonna get out on the golf course i don't have a tea time yet i don't know if i'm gonna do they have like a little mini course a little par three i think a little pitching putt okay and rhodes wants to get out there i might just do that because like the first of all their main course is only nine holes now which is fine it's tough to get away because you know sammy's now my youngest is half you know i don't elissa she'd be fine with him but like he's gonna be sad if me and rhodes and i are gone for too long so uh we may just go play around at the course a little bit um it's like right

We've been doing Bocci every year. It's a lot of fun. I kind of said, we're not doing poor day this summer. It's always a good time out there. It's easy. Yeah. Catch on the beach with your dad is a, that's a top five Father's Day moment right there. Yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited. We're going to try to do a dinner, a decent dinner. One of the places there, I will see how that goes. It's, it was tough last year. It's going to be even more

tough this year, just because now they've got the two biggest ding-dongs you've ever seen. to just like to dick around at the table. So we'll see how it goes to the restaurant. You're talking about yourself, right? Yeah, I'm like, yeah, I should say the three. Because I don't help because I, like father like so. I laugh my ass off. So yeah, going to do that.

Going to be watching tracking. Going to be tracking, tracking the goings on at the cock, shin of cock, see what happens. You know, can't be missing prime beach time to watch golf, but also like, I gotta be back up. You'll have some time to watch them. Why not both,

you know? Should be able to make both happen. So we'll see. But that's about it. Let's run it back and get out of here. Run it back. Of course, his segment during which we talk about

what we talked about all week long. This is, the first one is from when Michael was on. He said Pat McAfee is a big time dope. You did say that. Dave purchased a hyperbolic chamber. That was a good one. Despite regular workouts, Dave still looks like a complete dickhead.

Imagine popping a perk at meta. Ryan enjoys the low-key, easygoing, non-polarizing dynamic of the washed boys. Thank you. Yeah. And finally, Dave was thrown into a pool by his absolute boy and eventual Major League Baseball player. It's true. And that concludes running back. What a week.

Thanks, everybody for tuning in. Thanks to everybody who called the Haas line. everybody who let us cold call you. Ryan for producing. Thank you, Ryan. It's been a fun time, boys. He'll be back Monday as well, Dylan. Randy, you'll be back Tuesday.

Until then, bye-bye. Bye.
