Starting point is 00:00:04 Ranchos All right Welcome back Circling Back podcast Tuesday morning My name is Dave Producing today Randall Trimbecky
Starting point is 00:00:27 Hi Dave I had a squirrel at my squirrel feeder this morning Pretty happy about it Wait Are you running a squirrel feeder And a bird feeder? It's technically like a bird feeder
Starting point is 00:00:40 But it's a little picnic table and the squirrel was at the camera the other day and it has a little microphone. And I was like, hey, get out of there. And it ran away. But so I'm putting the squirrel food in a different thing. So it leaves the birds alone. Yeah, because squirrels are, they're a nuisance to the, to the birds. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:58 People, I like the squirrels coming by the place too. It's a lot of corn. Corn nuts. You keep corn nuts out there. Pretty much, yeah. There's kernels of corn and peanuts now. I'll tell you who doesn't like squirrels and that's Stella. Happy six birthday?
Starting point is 00:01:14 Yeah, thank you. Wait, once her birthday? I was on the first. When's, Rose's birthday? The 30th? Oh, okay. I thought they had the same birthday.
Starting point is 00:01:23 That's been cool. Last Friday. So I haven't seen Friday. Well, you should. You need to watch that movie, dude. I will. I will. Bye Felicia.
Starting point is 00:01:33 You know what? That should be, that's your Black History Month assignment. Okay. To watch Friday. Have you heard the saying, Bye Felicia. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:01:40 that. I know. I had a real moment. Yeah, the last couple of years. Still does. That'll be my Black History Month assignment. I will watch Friday at some point this month. It's a good one.
Starting point is 00:01:51 He is watching. It was a major player in middle school, junior high. What should be your guys is black history? Let's let the chat decide. Yeah, I don't want to speak for the community. Well, if you want to reach out, we'll all gladly, because we're going to be dishing out a few assignments on this show. Then you're going to report on it.
Starting point is 00:02:11 Yes, I will. Okay. Let us know. Let us know what you think. Good stuff. What's the shirt you're wearing? What's going on? This is a day to remember.
Starting point is 00:02:22 The band that I saw with Yellow Card. I always said Yellowstone. That's how Tyler Sheridan coded I am. Yellowstone would be a good name for like an alt-country yellow card cover band. Also, his name is not Tyler Sheridan. What is it? It's Taylor. Taylor?
Starting point is 00:02:38 You were thinking Tyler. From dude perfect. Yeah. Tony? Tyler Tony. Tyler Tony. He's literally the perfect dude. They're not going to respond to our real, our clip.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Yeah. It wasn't doing well on Instagram. Full disclosure. I don't think they're going to acknowledge it. We needed more juice behind it. Imagine being such a big brand that some little pissant brand tries to get your attention. Yeah. I'm going to give you a double tap, dude.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Well, they probably, somebody watched it because. Because it's Chad, it's their former employee. And he's talking, he's telling all. Oh, no, is he violating an NDA or something? I don't know if he has one. You know what I mean? No, I'm sure it's. They were just curious what Chad was saying.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Does Garrett know that we're, he's in our crosshairs? I imagine by now, we've been talking about him for about two years. So I feel like Garrett's got an idea that his ass is next up. I looked it up. I'm pretty sure we were right that he has the hook shot and that Chad. I thought so, but I didn't want to like do the awkward. Like, no, no, I think it's him. I think you're wrong, but look it up.
Starting point is 00:03:43 And then there's like an awkward pause and everybody's like typing. That's just called good broadcasting. Good broadcasting. It's called being a good host. Yellow card has a fiddle player, so they're already primed for an old country cover band. That's true.
Starting point is 00:03:56 They could pivot. Or you could just make some AI slop country yellow card covers. That would have been sick on that. If they did Devil One Dollar, Georgia. That I've been really sick. I'm sure, I wonder if they've ever done it. You think they got the chops? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Who do you think does the original? Charlie Daniels. Okay. You're right. I was just wanting to see what name you would throw together. I knew you'd get one of the names right. But you got them both right. You passed the test.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Yes. You got a very big barback energy today with your Maggie Mays cap. And you're dated to remember. You do look like a barback. Yeah. I showered last night, so I didn't do the hair this morning. But yeah, I'm ready to serve up some ice cold beers. From barback to bearback, here's Dylan Shiver.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Wow. First of all, you might not recognize me. It's still me. I don't have the glasses on. I probably look very different to you. Secondly, went on a middle school tour this morning with my son. Okay. They do those. They do middle school tours. And this school was pretty sick. They have like an ag program there. I already told you guys this. So pretend this is new information. With my son. What's going on? Pretend this. Ag. Okay. Agriculture. Yes. Anyway, they have, they keep animals on property. They have ducks. They have chickens. They have sheep, goats. And they have a miniature Highland cow, which is real sick.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Those are the ones like the emo swoop, right? Yes. Yes. And they also have a miniature longhorn. But this one was seven months old. So it's not only a miniature, but it's a baby miniature. But he's got little spikes coming out. And it looks just like bevo.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Just like bevo, but minus, you know, a couple thousand pounds it was so cute dude anyway i think parks like he he was digging it isn't that cool so what's the deal is it like where the kids have to like raise it and then kill it at the end of pledship no these these are non it's a non-kill school so the uh yeah the animals will never be uh killed for uh you know their meats or their furs or anything the fruit of their They use the eggs there. They have, like I said, a bunch of chickens and the eggs. I think that you can sign up to like take some eggs home with you as a parent.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Oh, don't let Dylan take those home. That's what this is. They're going right in the pot, dude. If those are mine, I'm boiling the shit with those, man. That's where this is going. Yeah. Anyway, pretty cool situation. That'd be so funny, Dylan just as parks go to his school, so he's a steady supply of eggs.
Starting point is 00:06:35 It never has to pay for them. I know. This is great. He's like, my dad said I got to bring more home. Is that all right? Like, yeah, here you go. You're over your limit for the month. You know, like every now and then we'll get those stories,
Starting point is 00:06:47 it's like a school district employee accused of stealing like millions of dollars worth of beef from the school. Fahita meat. Dylan's just stealing eggs. He's embezzling eggs. Just walking out of school like this. It's not a good way to carry eggs, by the way. Don't do it like that.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Probably need a basket. You know, don't put them all in one basket. Nope. That's right. You don't want to put them all in one mouse. It's an old proverb. Only takes one round and won the whole ruin the whole bunch. I'll tell you that much.
Starting point is 00:07:15 Is that true? Is that true? I don't know. It's a proverb. What's it mean when you get two yolk? Two egg yolk. Does that mean it was going to be twins? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Who is that what that means? I doubt it, but I mean, if that was right, I wouldn't be surprised. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Because it's an embryo. Two yoke. And a yolk is embryo, correct? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:43 It's hard to say. Look it up, Randy. You're not like, you're not like preventing life by eating those eggs. Let's hear from twins. Were you guys two yolks in an egg at one point? I don't know. Who are you talking to? Twins.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Like, I want to hear from them. In the chat. If there's twins in chat. There's no twins in the chat. How do you know that? You can't, you can't be sure of that. There's no way. If you're a twin in the chat,
Starting point is 00:08:09 Stand up. Let us know. If sauce is in the chat, twins in the chat. Give us a two emoji, meaning you're one of two. I don't know if I can verify that, but yeah, well, we'll see. We'll see what the chat has to say. Send us your social security information. Yeah. Yeah, we want to verify this.
Starting point is 00:08:24 We don't want any fake twins calling in or anything. Hey, twins. That would be funny. Every time you get double yoke, you got to go. Oh, twins. Jones. Chelsea's like, what did you say? I feel weird eating a double yolk egg.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Almost like it's like a mutation of some sort, and I'm going to, something weird is going to grow inside me. I don't think that's backed by science at all. It's not. I'm just saying I feel that way. No. I probably still eat it, though. You know, I can't turn down an egg.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Sometimes if I, you know, when I crack my eggs, if I look and there's a tiny piece of shell on there when I'm mixing it up, I'll give it like one attempt. And then I'm like, you know what, it's not really going to hurt me. It's going to be just fine. I don't really need to get that microscopic piece out, which is what she said. I saw a video that says you just use the other egg shell to get it out. That's the best way.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Yeah, that's the best way. It's a good way to do it. But like, I'll give it. I'll give it a try. I had breakfast or dinner last night if I'm being totally real with you all. Did you have steak and eggs? No. You said you had steak and legs.
Starting point is 00:09:41 I had steak and legs. You went down to Palazio. I had steak and legs. Yep. And it was great. No, really, what did you have? I know you didn't have steak and eggs, per our conversation. My very lovely girlfriend, Chels.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Well, we got, Parks and I got home late. We had baseball trouts. More on that in a little bit. So she was doing like clean out the fridge dinner, you know those before we reload on new groceries. And so she sauteed some onions and some peppers and then scrambled eggs with it. Okay. And then sourdough toast. It was a great, a great meal.
Starting point is 00:10:20 And that's that. Sounds good. How many eggs you go? How many slongs? It felt like four. I didn't see her make it, but it felt like I had four eggs. Four slonkers. Did you see there was a big egg controversy the last few weeks where there's one egg company that I'll name Vital Farm?
Starting point is 00:10:37 It was getting widely panned for their unnatural processes. Really? Saying that they used stuff to dye their yoke and stuff. Don't die my yoke. This is all per report. I am just reporting on the news here. That's all. This is all alleged.
Starting point is 00:10:53 How would you go about dying yoke? I don't know. I don't know. But the yoke's on them. I was never a fan anyway. You're out of here, Vital Farms. Egg on their face. it's not bad
Starting point is 00:11:07 looks like they put too many eggs in one basket that's good comedy hand toils I can just hear people subscribing to our Patreon right now I wish we got a little noise every time somebody subbed to like anything
Starting point is 00:11:28 we did on Twitch yeah Twitch is way better with the notice I feel like what was the noise it made there was mama that goes that man oh yeah we could customize them yeah that's right I think it was will dancing doing like the uh the cruise dance
Starting point is 00:11:49 oh yes that sounds right I have trouble watching that why it's very uncomfortable the cowboy TikTok oh I mean it is uh yeah it's uncomfortable yeah but he kind of on purpose kills it though yeah he knows it's crazy he was jester maxing He was. Also, cowboy maxing.
Starting point is 00:12:09 A little bit of both. Or both. At 2 o'clock today, 2 o'clock central, we've got cold calls going down. That's on Patreon. You might be new here. You might be like, what's going on behind that paywall? Well, we put out a call. We put out on Instagram post.
Starting point is 00:12:24 And on the Patreon, we posted, hey, click this link. You can go to washmedia.com. Look up the cold call page. There's a little form you fill out, your name, your number. You can be anonymous. us. And you could say, I want you to cold call me. I know it's not necessarily a 100% cold call if you have an idea that we might be calling. But either way, we call listeners who have interesting things to talk about and we riff with them, sometimes for two minutes, sometimes for five minutes,
Starting point is 00:12:51 10 minutes, if you're really crushing. And we're doing that today from two to three central. Be ready. Last year, last month's was great. Be ready. I looked at the form earlier. We have not, We've not picked any to my knowledge, but the form is bussing. So we got some good ones thus far. And then listener voicemails will drop on Friday. That's when you hit the pipeline, 888618-48-44-22. You can leave us a voicemail and we'll play it and we'll talk about it. It's always a fun time.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Last week's was very strong. It doesn't even need to be a question. No, you could just, you could steam. Yeah, you could steam. Like a- Could do a bit. King of the Midwest was just going through it, eating butterfingers. That tasted like shit. The King of Midwest emailed me.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Yeah, he emailed to be like, hey, here's what was going on. This is why I bought the giant box of Butterfingers. It was the movie theater box. It was like the little small one. Yeah. I'll be honest. It didn't make me think any differently of his situation. Yeah, you're fine.
Starting point is 00:13:48 You don't need to clarify. Yeah. Thank you for email. To be honest, I didn't really think much about it after that, after we heard about it. No, I had honestly, I moved on. I moved on with my life. I'll be honest. There's just something, there is something a little more sad about buying candy at Walgreens or
Starting point is 00:14:03 CVS. I don't know why. It's the same candy. Satisfying? No, more sad. Oh, sad. Because typically when I go to- It's always an afterthought. That's why you never go there for candy. When I go to CVS, it's typically like, I got to get some meds. Yeah, or parks needs, yeah, my kidneys. Some nighttime cough medicine or something. Yeah, it's not for, I'm not going to Walgreens because things are going like 100% well. It's so true. So it's like, ah, if I'm buying the Butterfinger. Yeah, it's never a fun trip. No. Then it's like, oh, fuck, these blood fring looks good.
Starting point is 00:14:35 And if the worst case scenario, if you're going in there because you need, it's close by and you need, like, milk, you're going to pay a little upcharge. They don't have good prices on their traditions. And I'll, I assume that if they have milk there, it expires in like two hours, you know? Yeah. It's not fresh. It's not fresh. Yeah, you know, you're right. Hey, you know what else?
Starting point is 00:15:00 It's Girl Scout cookie season. Okay. Mm-hmm. And I love Girl Scout cookies. Okay. And I'm going to be getting some. I thought of that because there's a little, some little girl and her mom were posted up outside the CVS by my house. So we get ours, we get ours through, we've got a connect and we pay full price, but we have our same people we go through every year.
Starting point is 00:15:24 You would connect? Yeah, we've got to connect. You buy them a lot of places. But, so I have to always say when I'm going into like the grocery store or wherever, they're posted up when they stopped me because i don't i don't do the hard walk by like don't talk to me i'll always entertain them i'm just like hey sorry i'm like ah you're a little late we already we already stocked up and then the mom always without fail you could always use some more and i'm like ha i really i really couldn't actually it's so hard to to say no to a you know a nine-year-old girl
Starting point is 00:15:55 yeah her cute little outfit it's like and like the like you were saying the moms in the mom. Sometimes the moms. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, no, I'm like, I'm just like, no, really. You could always use some more like, no, really. I really know. I don't. I appreciate the sales pitch. I do, but I'm stocked. I'm good. Maybe you just buy one at a time from a, so you can like keep going, you know? Yeah. Then they make you feel bad for like buying one box. You're like, you sure you don't want more? No, I really don't. But I appreciate it. I'll tell you this. I appreciate poncho outdoors. Oh, oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:34 It's the first brand where I've thought, okay, this is my go-to. This is my new go-to brand, poncho, man. I realized recently I lost a poncho hat. I had a poncho hat from back in the day that had like a, I don't know if it was an agave on it. Well, I had one with agave on it. Or lotus. Yeah, I think we had the same hat. I lost it.
Starting point is 00:16:55 And I looked at old photos, and I love that hat. But it's not just about their hats. Yes, their hats and their t-shirts are great, underrated, in my opinion. But their flannels are phenomenal. I always speak about not only the durability of their flannels, but like how you can just move around in them. It's not bulky on your body. It's great.
Starting point is 00:17:14 You think your grandma's flannels. Then the denim, the denim is great. My favorite denim shirt I've always owned, or I've ever owned. I've owned a lot of denim in my day. The Western denim button downs that they have. It's numerous colors. You hear the word denim. You think it's just like the gene.
Starting point is 00:17:29 you know, look, it's, they have that, yes, in a white, like a light wash and a darker version. But I have one that's sage that's money, pearls now, button down. It is the best shirt going right now. It's all backed by the poncho promise, free shipping, free returns, and even exchanges anytime. But poncho stands by every shirt. And they'll make it right, even if it's not your favorite, even months later. But it probably will be your favorite straight up. Everybody I know loves poncho.
Starting point is 00:17:55 my high school boys have gotten into a poncho through me and they're always hitting me up for free stuff and I'm like they don't just like send us free stuff all the time like I don't have like I can't just give them your email and like get my buddy who lives in Midlothian free poncho sorry dude not adding anybody in particular but you know you are they actually care about making this your go-to go to poncho outdoors.com slash steam into your email for $10 off your first order that's P. P-O-N-C-H-O-Outdoors.com slash steam for $10 off and free shipping, and tell them circling back since you. I reckon we got a little steam here.
Starting point is 00:18:37 I don't even know if I'm steaming. You were. When I walked in this morning, you were steaming. At this point, I think I'm just defeated. I think I turned the temperature down a little bit when I explain my situation. I think that I am just sad because I thought I came in yesterday. You know, a Saturday I made a nice big old stew. I made double the portion because I said,
Starting point is 00:18:55 hey, I'm going to give it to the guys at work. And I come in and I give you guys each a cup. And only one person took it home. And that was David Droff. Thank you, David. I brought it home at lunch. I was going to go home. My wife was working from home.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Walked in. She's like, what is that? That looks good. What is that? It's stew. Randy made stew. And he made it with love too. I didn't tell her that.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Why don't you calm down? I explained to you already, but I'm going to do it to the people so they don't think I'm a big old jerk. Yesterday, I was at the office and I was like, all right, I want to take the stew home. But you know what? From here, I'm going straight to pick up parks. We're going to the baseball field and we have tryouts. And I won't leave there until probably 7.30.
Starting point is 00:19:42 I left there at 7.30. That means if I were to take the stew with me, it would have sat in my car for three plus hours. It would have spoiled. So why didn't you just come back by the office and pick it up? Thank you, David. That's a great question, David. Thank you, David. Because it was out of the way.
Starting point is 00:20:00 Again, he made stew for you. It's also just sitting here waiting for me, refrigerated. I'm going to take it home today. Oh, if it's still yours. I might give it to breath. Oh, he's transferred ownership. What does it say? What does it say on it?
Starting point is 00:20:12 Says slonky sosa. Slonky sosa. So I know which one's mine. And if it's gone, by the time I'm ready to take it. home. Someone's going to have hell to pay. So I brought mine home and Alyssa, like I was saying, was working from home and she said, can I have that? And I said, okay. Okay. Yeah. I was like, we'll share it. We'll share the stew because I was going to eat some leftover noodles. Those noodles. We'll steak and noodles. And I did and we shared it and it was quite good.
Starting point is 00:20:48 It went and it went over well. And from both of us, Randall, Thank you for the stew. Thank you for enjoying the stew. You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoy it. I noticed Brett's still in there. Well, Brett has a pass because he wasn't here yesterday. But nobody knows.
Starting point is 00:21:02 He didn't come by here and he got back from the airport. I guess not. I guess not. And Dylan did as soon as he came in and it was the first thing he said to me. The biggest culprit here is one will to freeze. Nope. Yep. Facts. He went home early yesterday.
Starting point is 00:21:16 He went home early. Like one o'clock. Not only did he go home early. He was leaving and he said, something to me and I said, okay, see ya. Don't forget to take your stew and he stood in the doorway and then he left without the stew. Damn. I just, you know, this, I guess is the last time I'm doing anything nice ever. For him or for everybody about me? Except for you, yes. You and Alyssa have, yeah, my good gracious. I plan on enjoying my gift of stew this evening. We'll see. Hey, we'll see.
Starting point is 00:21:50 There's not the same. I swear if I come in tomorrow and there's still three cups of stew in that fridge, I'm going to be, I'm going to be livid. He's going to be livid. Thank you, David. Hey, man, you got to give me a chance to take my stew home. I'll give you a chance. I don't know, man. I just feel like I would have, I would have been craving that stew so much.
Starting point is 00:22:15 I would have just swung by here and picked it back there. Yeah. I would have added 10 minutes onto my commute home. 10 minutes, how I'm going to take you to cook? About three, four hours, yeah. And I knew that Chels was making dinner already. and so it makes, it just made more sense for me to leave the stew here. It would have complimented Chelsea's dinner.
Starting point is 00:22:33 Were you worried about Randy overshadowing? I don't know the beef stew pairs well with scrambled eggs. I don't know. You might. You're the egg guy. Yeah. I don't know how that applies, but yeah, I guess I am. I do like eggs.
Starting point is 00:22:46 You are the egg man, cuckoo-cachu. That's right. Well, on behalf of everybody, Randy, thank you. You're welcome. I had a little idea. We should do cook week where everybody, every member of this company is required to cook something the night before for the entire office. A potluck situation?
Starting point is 00:23:07 No, I don't like the word potluck. I hate it too, man. It makes me think of like, I don't know what it makes me think of. I don't like it. It makes me think of like elementary school. Mom's in the 90s. Yeah. That's what they do at the firehouse.
Starting point is 00:23:20 I was thinking grandmas in the 90s. Ever so often. Gilfs in the 90s. Ooh. You'll have to like bring in food in. you cook for the firehouse. So they do do that. Why would you cook for a sub shop?
Starting point is 00:23:33 They've got all the stuff. They do it there. All right. That's true. It doesn't make any sense. So like Sunday night, it might be my night. And so I have to make something for the boys for the next day. Monday night might be your night.
Starting point is 00:23:46 You got to make something for everybody to eat the following day. Just a, okay. It doesn't have to be a week. We could just do a month. Oh, that would leave an extra. Like enough for everyone to bring home for dinner? Like that? No, it's just a serving size to where somebody can just eat it for lunch.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Got it. You know what? I already know what I'm going to make. What is it? I'm doing meatballs. Oh, I do want to try your meatballs. I'm going to do just meatballs. I'm not going to do this.
Starting point is 00:24:17 I'm not going to like, I guess I could do like a big thing of spaghetti. But like I just, here's some meatballs. You don't have to eat them for lunch. You can take them home. You can go take up home. You make your own spaghetti. You can make a meatball sub, a meatball sandwich. There's many ways to eat meatballs.
Starting point is 00:24:33 But I will do meatballs because I enjoy making them. They're easy for me now. I don't have to look up a recipe. Everybody loves them. They're world famous. They're some of the best in Central Texas. How do the world find out about these? Because I have a small to mid-sized podcast that I'm part of,
Starting point is 00:24:49 and people have just words gotten out. Where's gotten out? Dang. It's just trickled out. organically. Are they organic? I think so. The GrassFit beer.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Jeremy in the chat called me Stu Hurt Little. That's, that is. I am Stu Hurt. That's, that's decent. Thank you, Jeremy for that.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Thank you. We haven't gone to the chat in a while, but now, the chat's delivering. I was monitoring it. It seems there's no twins. No one shot us a two. Not one twin.
Starting point is 00:25:25 That's bullshit, man. Any, uh, any, We need to hit that twin demo, man. That's where we're lacking. It'd be so sick to have a twin identical. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:25:40 A little needy. Yeah, I'm good with one of you, man. I don't need a second one. Twins are you, nobody want, no offense. Nobody wants twin dillens. What's not, dude? No. I'm sick.
Starting point is 00:25:53 What are you talking about? Just be, it would just be a lot. Yeah. What are you going to make? I guess not my stew. No, yeah, you're already, you're good. I'm going to make you do it again because you're one for one in my book. What are you going to make?
Starting point is 00:26:10 Can I get up, can I get up and do pancakes for the squad and have a breakfast situation? I guess, yeah. Okay, that's what I'm going to do. Do they travel? We got the griddle here. Yeah. You could just make them here. No.
Starting point is 00:26:25 I could. I'm taking that griddle home. I could. I don't know. Yeah, they travel fine. Okay. I think. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:26:33 Well, you need them to be hot. You need the hot syrup or the hot, yeah, maple syrup melt over the butter. I got it, dog. Okay. No sugar added, don't forget. These are no sugar pancakes? Uh-huh. But you put bananas and blueberries in it.
Starting point is 00:26:49 No added sugar. They have some natural sugars in them, yes. These aren't like the protein pancakes, are they? Because every time I've tried the protein, like waffle or protein pancake, they stink, baby. So these, there's Greek, so flour Greek yogurt. So you get some protein from that. Bro. And some Greek.
Starting point is 00:27:11 And then, you know, they're good. They're good. But they are on the healthy side. Okay. Great. I'm always skeptical. Guilt-free pancakes. I want a little guilt.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Not entirely. We use maple syrup, you know, butter, maple syrup, little vanilla extract. So it's not like you're getting out of here, Scott, free. The vanilla extract sounds sounds fine to me. Yeah. I mean, it's got some sugar. Sounds like added sugar. I mean, like, you know, there's no like sugar isn't one of the ingredients. Are yours guilt free? Was your stew guilt free? Wasn't there ice cold beer in it at one point? Yeah. There was some Dragon's Milk. I didn't need to know that. What's Dragon's Milk? It's a barrel aged out. So if I, if I eat enough of your stew, I can get a little buzz
Starting point is 00:28:01 going? I don't think so. If I ate like five gallons of your stew, I get a little something gone. This is like, this is like my friend Chase in like fourth grade who tried to tell us that his mom let him order a beer battered chicken strips that like chedders and then he got drunk. So fucking full shit, dude. He did not get drunk off beer battered chicken strips. Dude, I weirdly had this conversation with Parks last night because he had, so he didn't have breakfast with us. He had, we have some beer-battered cod frozen that we heated up for him and he loves it. He loves fish and chips is one of his favorite meals. Some beer-battered cat? And so he was like, he's like scared of alcohol. He's like, so there's beer in here, right? I was like, I mean, kind of, but you know, there's no
Starting point is 00:28:46 like alcohol gets cooked out and it's fine. It's like, so I can't like get drunk, right? It's like, no, dude. Just eat the fish. Same guy who tried to also tell us that he was doing water below. in his yard and he did hot water and he the hot water was so hot it caught his grass on fire we're like you're such a liar this guy's just a fucking bullshitter it was a smart dude too caught my grass on fire beer battered chicken strips which i'm almost positive this was a cheddar's thing i haven't there's a cheddar right by me and and all of us really and it's not do chitters used to be pre-good. Never been.
Starting point is 00:29:26 I used to go to that one. I've been in years, though. It says Scratch Kitchen. They'll give you scratchies? Everything's no. I think they just, no, they make it from scratch. Oh. They don't walk out as you're eating your chicken fried steak and just start scratching your
Starting point is 00:29:41 back. That would be so sick. That would be cool. I bet they do that at Ohos Locos. Probably. You and I go in there on Friday, right? Let's do it, dude. Man, that'd be a tough conversation.
Starting point is 00:29:54 And if they're the backer at O'Hos and like snipes me, getting my back scratch by the waitress. And that picture gets out. I'm like, oh, oh, no, it's getting scratchies. I was eating my pulled pork nachos. Just doing research for the pod. But yeah, if you guys want to make me food, I'll gladly accept the apology for not taking my stew.
Starting point is 00:30:18 You got to review it on the pod. You don't have to eat it on the pod, but you will have to do a live, like a review of your thoughts. Yeah, I'll write notes. and then I'll bring them on the pod. Okay. Do you have any issue with parsley? I have no issue with parsley.
Starting point is 00:30:33 There's parsley in the stew. Okay. There's somebody I'll live with this, not a huge fan of the fresh parsley that I use. So I've minimized it in the recipe, but... Well, I'm assuming they had the stew that had fresh parsley in it? Yeah, the parsley.
Starting point is 00:30:49 It wasn't very parsley forward, your stew. Yeah, yeah. It's just, it's the after part. It's just... The only problem with eating a... stew midday is all you want to do is go take a little nap on your Lisa mattress. Oh, yeah. Got a little belly full of stew.

Yeah, Parks had baseball tryouts last night right after work, Randy. Didn't have a chance to go home? Is he dipping yet? Yeah. Actually, he's doing a red man chewing tobacco.
Starting point is 00:32:48 Okay. Yeah. He's got a big old plug in there. Love it. Should help him. So at this little league, this is Parks' let's see, like fifth season or two a year. That sounds about right. That's fifth season.
Starting point is 00:33:01 So he's done tryouts before, right? He hates tryouts. A lot of pressure. Everybody hates tryouts. He get, like I told him, when I was a kid, dude, I used to get so nervous at tryouts. He was extra nervous this time because last season he had tryouts and they did not go well. He was, he just didn't have it. He's missing ground balls.
Starting point is 00:33:25 He swung and missed at every single pitch. And he got teary-eyed. And he had to get one of the coaches that was there went to go, you know, hype him up a little bit. And he was just, it was not good, not good at all. Felt terrible for him. So I can, I can relate. It's a shitty feeling because you're out there, you know, your buns are out there and you want to show out. Anyway, I went to go pick him up.
Starting point is 00:33:48 And immediately I knew. So his mom walks him out. And he's like, she looks, she looked me like, he's not happy. He's standing there. He's like, dad, I, I. want to play baseball, but I don't want to do tryouts. I said, the kids are going to make fun of me. Apparently last season when he tried out and didn't do well, he heard a couple kids make comments about how he wasn't good. I hate to hear that. I was like, dude, I had a try out when I was a kid,
Starting point is 00:34:16 and I was a good ball player, and I swung and missed at every pitch. Like, it happens. Like, it's just, it's just part of it. And he starts, like, tearing up. He's like, dad, I just don't want to do it. I'm so nervous. Like, dude, this is not about showing out. This is about everyone, like, the coaches want to make the teams fair. This is to get like an assessment of where you are and just so the teams are, you know, put together evenly. That's all this is. And I brought him there early to get some extra reps in.
Starting point is 00:34:43 Like we went to the cages and got in there and I started pitching to him and he's just crushing the ball. Like he's hitting him so well. And that like loosen him up a little bit. He's like, okay, I'm feeling a little bit better. We go out in the field. We're playing catch and he's, he looks good. I'm like, dude, you're ready, man.
Starting point is 00:35:00 And some of his buds are out there. He's talking to them. He starts to get in a better movie. I'm like, okay, we've hit a good spot. So he gets out there. They do three different, they do four different stations. They do fly balls, ground balls, hitting from a machine on the field in front of everyone. And then they go pitch a little bit.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Is it the, that machine that the spinning? Okay. It is. So that's the one we had. Those are hard. So if you've never used one of those before, it's hard to time up the pitch because when you're hitting off of a human being, obviously, you know exactly when they're going to release the ball.
Starting point is 00:35:31 They do a windup and then they throw it and let go. The machine's hard to time it up because you're sitting there waiting, waiting, waiting, and then the ball is like on you suddenly. So it's a little bit tougher, which I wish they didn't do it that way, but that's the way they do it. He gets up there. He misses one fly ball, catches the next one. Like, all right, all right.
Starting point is 00:35:46 That was his first station. Second station, ground balls. They get five ground balls. He likes to hit him to like each side of the infielder. So, you know, one's like a back hand. And then one's a slow dribbler. All five of them clean. Boom.
Starting point is 00:35:58 Just fires across the diamond. that's shortstop accurate throw each time he's cooking he gets up there now the real test he's got a hit he gets three three swings basically um and then they do like one final swing at the end so he gets three swings his first pitch he gets he fucking rips it down left field line like like right at third base he just rips it uh fouls one off and then another hits another pretty solid ground ball so i'm like i'm like you've got fucking got it dude i wouldn't i he then he goes to the dug out and walk over there. I dab them up a little bit. Like, dude, you're doing so fucking great. Did you pop in the dog out and say, I got your line drive ball? No, I didn't pull a rosemary. Rosemary. No, my mom did
Starting point is 00:36:41 that, by the way, if you don't know the reference there. And so, like, he was like on top of the world, man. It was, it was huge for him. And it was such a difference between the last time we did this and this time. I was so happy for him. And then he gets one final pitch, like I said, they go through one more and then one swing and then you run the bases and he fucking rips another way line drive like to over where second base is he looked great man that's awesome and so uh he's he's he's fired up he's he's some of the kids in this league i feel like they should have moved on by now they're like really that's somewhere like six seventh graders i think even and they hit the ball they hit the ball really hard um but dude parks held his own man and he's still like the smallest kid
Starting point is 00:37:28 out there and that's what that's really where the lack of confidence comes from the other kids are just bigger and stronger because they've you know they've they've hit gross spurts and he's kind of behind size wise but it went it couldn't it really couldn't have gone much better than it did so parks is a very happy boy today he was very talkative last night but man seeing him like cry because he's so nervous it it crushed me but dude he did so well that's huge i know i can't freaking wait for the season he's excited so So it went great. Do you know what speed, the pitch machine is on?
Starting point is 00:38:02 No, no. 50-ish, somewhere in there. Okay. Yeah, they weren't firing them in, but they weren't lobbing them in either. Yeah, I remember the, oh, man, I remember. I always hit it hitting off a machine. It really is just difficult. They have new ones now.
Starting point is 00:38:19 Like, I know the University of Texas has one in their hitting facility. There's a screen and there's a pitcher. There's like a hole in the screen, right? and there's a pitch, like a simulation of a pitcher winding up and throwing. And there's a whole right where the release point is. And that's when the pitch comes out. So you actually can time it up. But obviously the Little League doesn't have one of those.
Starting point is 00:38:40 But those are pretty cool. So he will be on a different team this year? Yeah. They do a draft every season. They do tryouts every single season. I guess that I don't really thought about it because, like, granted, we're just playing t-ball five-year-olds. But like his team is running it back. Yeah, that's cool.
Starting point is 00:38:58 I mean, I kind of wish that Parks' League did that, but they don't. Which the best teams, and again, it's T-Ball, but, like, they've been playing together. And, like, they all, like, some of the better teams apparently, like, do extra cage work throughout the week hitting practice. Yeah. I'm like, dude, how old? What? T-ball. But, no, I'm excited.
Starting point is 00:39:20 That's great. So he's in majors now, which is the highest league within his little league. This is his first time doing major. So this is like serious, you know, this is serious baseball for that level. And some of these kids are freaking good, like real good. They're hitting like dingers. They're hitting balls over the fence. And Parks is not close to that yet.
Starting point is 00:39:40 But he's holding his own. He's making contact. I'm excited for him, man. He's flashing the glove a little bit. I even got him a new bat for Christmas that he was all excited about. And it's really cool looking. That's like a really cool looking bat. He's getting compliments from me of kids.
Starting point is 00:39:53 And he was, he was feeling himself, man. It was neat. Hey, I couldn't help but notice you and Blaine are texting. What's going on? Blaine used our code Steam to purchase a Lola blanket. And he wanted to let us know. Oh, he's about to be real comfortable. By the way, what a discount?
Starting point is 00:40:11 He saved $130. It's pretty good. What's that code? This is not an official ad. Steam. Oh, Steve. The 40% off? That's wow.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Damn. That's really good. He's about to be super comfortable. And he just thought he'd let us know in the middle of the live show. Imagine he paired that Lola blanket with this Lisa mattress. Like that's a living right there. Oh, we have ours. Ours is like when Alyssa makes the bed up all nice,
Starting point is 00:40:35 like she folds up the blanket and puts it at the end. It's a nice touch. Yeah. That's a nice touch. I remember I went to my first baseball tryout in Converse shoes, like the high tops because I didn't have like cleats. Yeah. And I remember being like self-conscious.
Starting point is 00:40:51 And I don't think I, I think I may have hit one pitch off the machine. But I it's there's a lot of pressure man because everyone's watching even you're just like you just got finished with the off seasons. You even swung the bat in a long time and yeah it was a it was DBBI don't give a boys baseball. You still see kids out there in sweatpants and no hat and it's like all right. Yeah, what do you wear a tryout? Do kids wear like baseball pants and shit? Yeah baseball pants, cleats, hat and any kind of shirt you want. But yeah. And then they have like a numbered jersey. So they coaches can like easily find them on the she. Are any of the kids like super cocky like Oakley's?
Starting point is 00:41:29 There's not a whole lot of that in this league. Yeah. But there are some cocky kids for sure. Man. The two best players in the league and they're like far and away the best. Like they throw really, really hard and they hit the ball like over the fence. Their dads are buddies. And so they're always on the same team.
Starting point is 00:41:49 And it's a, I've heard that other dads, I complain about it because these kids are just, it's almost like unsafe for parks to be playing third base when one of these kids is up to bat because it's a little it's a little field so he's close in these guys just like rip it down the line dude i totally understand that yeah that's and that's why like in t-ball like they've got the the pitchers they have to wear like the chest protector and the masks the mask the mask i don't really think i'm fine with the mask because like there's some kids who are like closer to six playing with like kids who aren't even five yet like Rhodes was not even five when he was playing that absolutely smoked the ball and that none of none of the kids can catch yeah like in t-ball
Starting point is 00:42:32 no one's catching the ball best case you knock it down with their glove but uh yeah the mask is needed and yeah once you get to that age and you're playing third it's it could be a little scared absolutely i caught i mean i had one i remember it when i was playing second and this kid kid absolutely, I remember it like very vividly, just a rocket right by my head. Like to, I put my glove up and just like move my head and totally whiffed on it. It was a line drive from hell. I think it's time Park starts to win a cup. He hasn't yet.
Starting point is 00:43:07 Yeah. I think it's a good idea. Because dude, if he's playing infield, it'll totally make him gun shy, like, just trying to routine, you know. If you catch like a hop, a bad hop. If you take one of the nards? You're going to be gun-shy going forward. Of course. Couldn't be happier for the kid.
Starting point is 00:43:30 You ever take one of the nards? Mm-hmm. I don't know baseball, but, you know, other balls. You get kicked in the nards? You don't even have to worry about that anymore. That's nice. Yeah, you don't. You used to pay to have somebody come do that to you, right?
Starting point is 00:43:42 Mm-hmm. Big goth girl with a white monster. She was just... Oversized Slip Nuts shirt. Yeah. What the hell? I went into Hot Topic yesterday, man, and they still have a lot. What were you doing a hot topic?
Starting point is 00:43:57 Yeah, you know. Hot Topic's still around? Oh, yeah. Were you buying a gift or? I was, it was on my way out because I was dealing with. Is this your second time at the mall in like four days? Yeah. Are you okay?

And this is new to me. I did not know any of this was going on, but apparently there is a rather outspoken group of people who depend on food delivery services because they are too depressed or anxious to not only cook
Starting point is 00:48:13 meals for themselves or go to the grocery store, but to even microwave frozen meals for themselves. I don't know what's going on. They're not down bad enough if they're if they can't even microwave because that's the true down bad. You pop something in that microwave. That's the the easiest way possible to prepare food for yourself. Or they might be not. Yeah, I would think. Then getting on an app and having a stranger to bring food to you. I just get more anxious when I pop open that because there's so many so many options. People, it sounds like an ad read. Are there people who are having food delivered like every day? Yes. Yeah. Who's our guy that we hate? Who's that fucking guy's like ask me how much I'd pay for my place?
Starting point is 00:48:53 Oh, that guy that was in the cold plunge doing his little Austin apartment tour. The one hallmark of all these guys is that like they just have food delivered like every day. I don't understand. That is so expensive. It's insane. It's like your meal is like at least twice as much as if it were if you just went to the place and ordered it there, right? Yeah, full disclosure. I, if I'm very aware of times when I have.
Starting point is 00:49:18 when I'm overdoing it with food delivery. And look, when you have two, two boys under five kids at all, like you're gonna, there's gonna be nights where it's like, we gotta, we gotta just order. Like,
Starting point is 00:49:31 we can't even go pick it up. We gotta do bedtime, all this. You end up using it. But like, when you start using it like a lot. Yeah. You like,
Starting point is 00:49:38 you start, that's against me now. Or I'm like, dude, I don't, I had food delivered twice in one weekend. Come on. I don't remember the last time I had food delivered. It's a good feeling.
Starting point is 00:49:48 Yeah, like one of these services because it just feels like so wasteful. It's just so expensive. I've been pretty sure the last time I had delivered, they delivered it to the wrong apartment, and I went to go find it, and it wasn't there. So either the person that I got delivered to took it or the driver just stole my meal. And like, you know, the service was able to correct it. Like, oh, we'll send a new one out for free. And we'll give you 10% off to use the next five days.
Starting point is 00:50:12 I'm like, fuck you. That's a shit. Yeah. Like 10% off in the next five days. It's like, you have to get more food. delivered. Some of these people are just crazy. I mean, I didn't know this was a thing. I think we as a society need to become a little bit more resilient. And not to make light of depression and anxiety, those are very real problems. But if you're saying you have to have food delivered because it's the
Starting point is 00:50:36 only way you can because of your depression problems, I'm going to question that a little bit. Ramen noodles are right there. The way the person, they're talking, people have depression and anxiety. Not everyone just go to the grocery store and plan meals like this the the almond that is just it's what has become the internet that is just so annoying it's the bean soup theory that they if you ever heard that it it's just so fucking annoying and it's soft it's soft it's soft i'll say what's the bean soups theory it's fucking soft people are becoming soft and i hate it that's the what tell bean soup theory is on ticot thing that's like someone is doing a video about like bean soup a recipe and then like in the comments would be like,
Starting point is 00:51:16 well, I don't have any beans. Will this work? Or like, I don't, I'm allergic to beans. So why would I make this? And it's like, but it's what aboutism. It's like very much like, oh, you aren't tailoring this to me. It's like, don't make bean soup. Like, this isn't a video for you.
Starting point is 00:51:31 I got you. That's what bean soup is. Here's a person that says they use food delivery because the economics of groceries frustrates them. If I want a BLT, I must buy a whole loaf of bread, a pack of bacon and a tomato, hoping my mayo hasn't expired. I want a proportionally priced kit to make one to two sandwiches as I end up throwing out so many leftover ingredients.
Starting point is 00:51:54 That's on you. If you buy a loaf of bread, use the loaf of bread. Keep making sandwiches. What are you doing? You can do a lot with a loaf of bread. This is so stupid. Oh, meanwhile, you're going to pay, you know, $28 for like a Wendy's delivery. Yeah, that makes more economic sense.
Starting point is 00:52:10 dumb, dumb. Yeah, I don't know. So stupid. People are really struggling, man. I feel like, you can get by with, I mean, it costs a lot of money to have food delivered. And there's one talking about that women entering the workforce made it harder to provide for the family and more time to do capitalism. Wait, I'm very confused. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:52:38 says a meal format that gained mainstream popularity as white women entered the workforce, while at the same time it became harder to support a family on one salary. So not having to cook meant more time doing capitalism. Do I love doing capitalism? Well, let's go out this week and there's capitalism happening. Also are saying they hate disabled people so much. They're out here defending frozen food saying that. And I don't want to be super ablest and be like, yeah, people that are disabled.
Starting point is 00:53:08 can't like cook meals maybe and DoorDash helps. But like it's just people like this is why Trump won. And there's someone down here saying that all food is a basic human right, meaning you should be able to afford all types of food.
Starting point is 00:53:22 Like if you want lobster, it should cost as much as like a ham sandwich. Is this just rage bot bait? I don't know. I feel like it is. People need to get a fucking grip and be a little self-reliant, resilient out there in the world.
Starting point is 00:53:36 back in my day ramen noodles were 10 cents of they were ramen noodles were cheap man not like not like going to a ramen
Starting point is 00:53:45 place like getting like top ramen you're telling me ramen gave you top just kidding we're having fun we're having fun
Starting point is 00:53:52 adding levity to the podcast I'm really wondering because there are people that have these opinions and that exist that like
Starting point is 00:53:59 they can't do things because they have allergies if you're on if you're on Twitter then you're probably on Instagram Instagram, like for all of social media's harm that it's done, you can go on Instagram and you can find some fucking very minimal, like low price meal prep stuff. There's an influencer out there for you that will show you how to make rice, ground beef and make it go a long fucking way.
Starting point is 00:54:29 And it's healthy for you. Dave, these people are saying they can't even open up the microwave door and hit a couple buttons. Because they have anxiety. I don't know. I don't know how that applies. I don't know. I mean, it seems to be more anxious to hire a stranger to go pick up your food and bring it to you. That gives me more anxiety.
Starting point is 00:54:49 Exactly. Who's this fucker bringing me my food? Dude, when they bring you something and like, there's some places that like staple it shut and it's like the restaurant will like, so you can tell if it's been tamper with us. But sometimes it's just like, oh, yeah. I'm like, oh, no, did you? You know, I mean, like, like, Randy, you had that goth girl, like, spit on your pizza. Yeah, exactly. But, like, I don't want that from a random delivery driver.
Starting point is 00:55:13 Like, when you go to Starbucks and you intentionally insult the barista. Yeah, when I wear... Yeah, when I wear my pro ice shirts so that she'll spit in my coffee. Oh, man. The dunking undisabled people for using DoorDash is proxy eugenics discourse. Okay. A lot of buzzwords there. Yeah, so it's...
Starting point is 00:55:35 I feel like this is like peak, this is peak Twitter. This is what's getting served to all right, you know, conservative people. And they're like, yeah. So this is, this is what you're seeing on the internet. I am upset. You call a private taxi for my burrito a luxury.
Starting point is 00:55:53 That's what it says. People are doing bits, dude. This is a bit. Yeah. I don't know. It's so hard. Private taxi from my burrito. I mean, yeah, that's what it is.
Starting point is 00:56:03 Oh, man. This is a whole discord. These people don't understand. understand how dope it is to just make meatballs and then eat like four of them for breakfast. Yeah. Seriously. You just make four beatballs because you're like, I don't really feel like doing eggs. Imagine if their coworkers set up a, what did you call it?
Starting point is 00:56:20 A communal. There was like a meal, meal week, food week. They'd be like, I can't participate. I'm sorry. Randy, you should start bringing your stew. This is part of it, too, that someone said, I wonder if we could build a system within a local community where we take shifts cooking the frozen food and sharing it. This might mitigate some of the distress it causes by being a reoccurring. Oh my God. Just a thought.
Starting point is 00:56:43 It's probably a soup kitchen. It's probably signs of like our failed education system in some ways like to where like people aren't properly taught how to, um, uh, budget and like, and like also like a lot of people maybe don't know how to like we said meal prep, but like you could do, I don't know. You're going to get taking shifts, cooking frozen food, and bringing it to people. That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It's soft, is what it is.
Starting point is 00:57:16 By the time it gets you, you're going to have to reheat it. It's a feast of purpose. I don't know. I don't really know who we're talking to. I don't know. We're talking to like anonymous accounts on Twitter that are just trying to... Maybe it's bots. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:57:29 I hope it is. Otherwise, I know people are struggling to this bad. I think people lean into this. Let me trust. let me tell you there are people on ticot that will put their full face out there and have these same takes so these people do exist they aren't just bots it's just so expensive to do that every day i know guys i just yeah you got you got you got to you got a budget better you got i mean like i get like you you're you're spending a lot of money on on food delivery yeah i guess they would
Starting point is 00:58:00 say well i i'm too anxious to cook i don't i don't know what am i doing right now I don't know. We should probably just move on. I don't know. Brett really got us going. I'm now mad at the stew after I put all that hours of labor, labor of love. And people can't even microwave food. We need more Randy's. Yeah. Not less Randy.
Starting point is 00:58:21 Yeah. Which is a change. Yeah, fuck that guy on Reddit. Speaking of which, really good Reddit post right now. I should go check it out. Did you start this Reddit post? Yeah. Is this Glistine?

Starting point is 01:00:20 Again, go to rocketmoney.com slash circling. Justin Bieber hairline. Yeah. He looked pretty yoked up with the grams. So Bebe's got the turkey special. He got a, I don't know if I got the turkey for it, but he got, he got hair transplants. pretty well-known thing i believe in uh out there in the pop culture world but he's getting very in my opinion unfairly chastised on twitter some young lady hit us with a close-up shot of him
Starting point is 01:00:56 uh here let me send this to you randy so you can put it up uh and just making fun of this dude for getting for getting hair transplant and i dude zach bryans is so good. His hair transplant is incredible. Like, I didn't even, I did not realize that Beaver had got one. Yeah. Okay. For like, he used to, he wore a beanies for a really long time. I think he was hiding, like the, the progress. Yeah, he definitely got, if you look at old pictures, I'm like, it's pretty obvious he did. What are we, what is this? Because you can see like the line. Oh, like right here. Yeah, right there. Just someone's pointing it out. I'm going to be honest. I would be very, very happy with that hairline. Yeah. Doesn't look that bad to me at all. No, it's because you can only see
Starting point is 01:01:45 because he's buzzed, right? If he grew it out, you would have no idea. You just think, oh, that's just a guy with a good hair line. Yes, yeah, you can see it. Oh, yeah, I see that. But honestly, if I, if I saw that guy with that, I might think that that's just a scar. I would not think. You have to have a keen eye for it, I think. Or just to know that he's, or to know that he's gotten one. To my knowledge, they don't, why would there be a scar there? I can recognize a poorly done hair transplant from a mile away. Yeah, only because he has short hair. I don't think it's poorly done. I mean, because it's short hair. I thought the scarring from that kind of stuff
Starting point is 01:02:18 comes from the place that you do the, like the donor spot in the back or the side. Like, I didn't realize that there was a, I don't know. Well, it's just really this one line here. How would I ever know this? You can't even see it on the right. Yeah, this looks fine. Zach Bryans is really good, I will say. No, Bieber, nah, keep your head up, man. I did not see his performance at the Grammys. People were gassing it up. It was pretty dope. Was it?
Starting point is 01:02:43 Good for them. I did see Post doing a tribute to Aussie, did war pigs. I thought he kind of sounded like Little Nicky. Yeah. Popeyes. Watch it and think about Little Nicky or just Adam Sandler in general and it will change your perspective. Look, Post has done, his Nirvana covers were really good back during COVID. He's done some good stuff.
Starting point is 01:03:13 But that was, I did not think war pigs was that great. So you know how every year when Florida gets cold, like you have the iguana stuff, the iguanas freezing. I was watching some stuff yesterday. I didn't realize how invasive iguanas were to Florida. Like you could go out. It's kind of open season on iguanas. They're like a problem.
Starting point is 01:03:34 I didn't know that. Open season, you can just kill them? Yeah. Oh, shit. What are they doing? They're bad for the landscape. If you have a marine around your home, they tear up your landscaping.
Starting point is 01:03:49 I actually had to look this up. Damaging infrastructure, like seawalls and sidewalks and threatening native species. So, yeah, there's a lot of people that are just rounding them up as they freeze and, like, fall. So they got the python problem and the iguana problem. They got a lot of problems for it. The meth problem.
Starting point is 01:04:09 That too. Is there a big meth problem there? I think in northern. Okay. and the panhandle. You were way too quick with that information. It's Florida. I don't think Florida when I think math.
Starting point is 01:04:23 But I guess, I mean, there probably is. Probably more Ohio in the Midwest. Indiana. New Mexico. That famous show. Randy. Randy. Randy.
Starting point is 01:04:34 Yeah, I saw a video. So not only that, there's a dude who, like, this is his bit every year when they get really cold and these iguanas fall out of the trees. And they're still alive, but they're just. they have to like thaw out he just rounds him up like hundreds of them throws him in the bed of the truck
Starting point is 01:04:49 apparently there's like a pizza there's a video of a guy you can bring it to like a pizza place and they'll take the iguana and like cook it up and put it on pizza if you want shut the fuck up no I'm serious
Starting point is 01:04:58 you're not being serious it's not a thing yes it is you can't bring frozen iguanas to a pizza place and they cook it up on pizza well unless you have depression anxiety
Starting point is 01:05:07 because you can't do anything with frozen food there's no way that's a real thing dude I'm telling you dude i watched the video you watched the video thanks for bringing the iguanas in you brought it to pleasant martin can you look it up can you look it up please okay do your job randy this is a real thing that's a guy who did this on instagram this is like his whole bit and i didn't realize that i thought he was just
Starting point is 01:05:33 rounding them up to like go like warm them up to like bring them back no he was just like rolling he was going to go turn them in because you go turn the men and they're like humanely killed by like the city are they making some dope boots too while they're at it I assume there's an iguana skin boot. I have some iguana skin boots. Here's a... Did you find the real? I mean, I found a article title from Bro Bible that says,
Starting point is 01:05:58 Frozen iguanas in Florida are getting cooked and turned into iguana pizza by SFL pizzeria. There you go. Oh, my God. A truckload of Aquinas? I'm just not eating lizard. I'm not. I can't imagine... I'm not trying to play my Zodok hard.
Starting point is 01:06:15 Look that. I'm not trying to turn my Zaw card to my Zardica. Have you read any kind of reptile? No. Yeah. You never had snake? Yeah, I had snakes somewhere. I had a rattlesnake.
Starting point is 01:06:27 That's it. I think I had it at Buzzard Billies and why. I had it in a Brazilian steakhouse in Denver. Yeah, this is the guy. This is the snake guy or the lizard guy. That's incredible. But also really weird. These lizards are way bigger than imagine, too.
Starting point is 01:06:45 I did not. I totally underestimated the extent of the invasiveness of these fuckers. Meet Jessica Kilgore, the South Florida iguana slaying queen? Okay. I don't know if I want to meet her. You don't want to watch this? No, I don't even meet her either. I don't want to watch her.
Starting point is 01:07:01 I just assume she's the queen. There's not a lot of skill involved in killing iguanas, in my opinion. Especially if they're frozen, you just pick them up on the ground. That's poor sporting. Not very, yeah. All right. Sportsman like to kill a frozen iguana. I learned something today.
Starting point is 01:07:14 There you go. We'll be back at two. behind the paywall on Patreon for cold calls. So be ready. Bye.
