Starting point is 00:00:00 all right we're back circling back podcast coming to you live from the lodge my name is will to freeze my right david rough almost overnight we've officially entered dry cracked hand season oh man dude it's hit me. Dude. And I thought I was going to escape it this year, but with all the hand washing, you know, due to the ongoing global pandemic, the cold front blew through yesterday, and I'm just on another level. I'm sorry. It looks like I punched the drywall.
Starting point is 00:00:37 It got, like, the little scabs on it. It hit me three weeks ago. I did. Poor little Parks, man. At school, they're just constantly giving him hand sanitizer. They rub it in for him all day long. He comes home and his hands are chapped because they're so dry. He's too young to be chapped.
Starting point is 00:00:54 It sucks, man. Poor little kid. You know what? That chaps me. I'll lotion his hands up for him. I'm like, dog, I'll take care of you. Let's go. I need to buy a hand lotion.
Starting point is 00:01:02 Yeah. I know it's cool and manly to have hardened hands, but it's uncomfortable. We're podcasters, David. You're not fooling anybody with those calloused hands. I'm going to clear brush. I know. I don't like using a glove if I need a little touch when it comes to some shorter shots in golf. And I paid for that the other day when I looked down at my hands after the round,
Starting point is 00:01:24 and I saw I had a bunch of skin coming up. I was like, oh man, gotta be a glove boy. You know the people who go to the gym and they're like, oh, you should work out for functional strength, not for those like beach muscles. Like, dude, you sell insurance. What are you talking about? Yeah, just get hot. Yeah, but they're in a
Starting point is 00:01:39 softball league on the weekends. You're not a lumberjack. You know? Lumberjacks don't need to work out. You're not a defensive tackle for the Bills. You sell life insurance. It's okay. Are you talking about somebody specifically? Just try to look dope. Yeah, who are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:01:52 Who do you think? People make fun of people who are like, oh, he's doing curls. He just wants to look good. Like, yeah, of course. I don't need to move. I'm not moving boulders in my free time. You're not? Couldn't be me.
Starting point is 00:02:05 If I'm doing curls, I'm doing them for the boys so that you guys gas me up. You know what I mean? No, don't even waste your time with curls. Okay. They're out. Yeah, arms are out, dude. Good. I needed that real bad.
Starting point is 00:02:18 I remember probably like 10 years ago, the New York Times wrote some piece about how beer bellies were in or something, and I just remember thinking like, oh thinking like oh that was the whole dad bod about to be a good summer for your boy yeah so like one girl on Twitter said something about like liking of the dad bod and it caught fire and guys like oh yep told y'all and it just became this thing yeah like they don't really like it we sold a lot of dad bod shirts at Grand X actually my first my first week at Grand X we were really pushing dad bod stuff very hard and i was tasked with writing something not by dave uh i was might have been me no it wasn't you i remember exactly who it was because i was like man i feel like with dave i have a rapport and i could be like what if we did it this way
Starting point is 00:02:57 but it was ross who was in charge of like everybody at the time and i didn't really know ross at all and he was like hey i think you'd be a good person to write this. And I was like, well, that's kind of insulting. But yeah, cool. Let's write this. And it was just like such a click-baity to sell shirts thing ever. And I was like, whatever. This is who I am now. That's lame. I don't care. The dad bod. I was like, I'll do
Starting point is 00:03:18 anything to keep this job. It's way tighter than my old job. Well, when like dad bod like went viral again, like after that girl's column we were like oh fuck we started that like that was our thing and so like we tried to we did sell a lot of shirts yeah so it worked but i remember we felt slighted like that we weren't getting the cred yeah i say we as a company not like people in this room but oh okay randy yeah randy's like no you guys deserve the cred this is dog r. This is dog Randy.
Starting point is 00:03:45 Should we give him a mic since Brett's not here today? You can't do worse than Brett. Oh! Just kidding, Brett. We love you. No. Brett's taking the morning off. Yeah, he's not here.
Starting point is 00:03:55 From recording. He's doing actual work, which I appreciate. Is he? Well, hard to say. Man, we got a loaded episode today. I saw he's watching The Departed. Yeah, is he just sitting there watching movies? Let's just get out ahead of it.
Starting point is 00:04:08 Let's just talk announcements real quick and dive into this episode. It's one of the more loaded episodes we got. We haven't dove in already? Well, I don't know. What are we doing? This is the fun and easy banter part, you know? Washedmedia.shop. Go check everything out.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Go make it happen. If you're going to get something you might want to do it just as soon as possible to get it by Christmas if not then you might not get it by Christmas but either way
Starting point is 00:04:30 washedmedia.shop go dumb go follow Circle and Back Pod go follow at washedmedia yeah we did a giveaway for an ornament the other day a lot of people were happy about this went well
Starting point is 00:04:42 shouts to I forget the name of the girl who won it but shouts to her she did the name of the girl who won it, but shouts to her. She did win it. She won it. She won it. Live on our Patreon episode.
Starting point is 00:04:50 So if you want a patron and you're wondering who won the contest, that's kind of on you. Also, go leave a review and five-star rating. This week's Patreon schedule, totally normal. Wednesday Bachelor episode, Friday voicemails. R&B Radio? You guys doing R&B Radio? Blink twice. Okay, there you go.
Starting point is 00:05:06 We're doing a mail-in as well. Wow. Big, big. Getting big. Getting big. God, just looking at our analytics, and these things are getting big. Also, we need to give a very special shout-out to a backer who sent us a nice package today. It wasn't a picture of his nice package or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:05:27 It was just a very nice package. Yeah. So I got this in the mail. It says, gentlemen, thanks for all the laughs. I've been a day one backer from the start. Here's a little token of my appreciation. And he sent us an American flag. Not just any American flag.
Starting point is 00:05:42 No, not just any American flag. It flew, I believe, Syria and Afghanistan. Do you want me to read what it says on the Certificate of Authenticity? That would probably be more appropriate. It says, This flag was flown in the face of the enemy, illuminated by the light of justice, and bears witness
Starting point is 00:05:58 to the removal of terrorist forces threatening freedom. It was flown with great pride and honor by an AC-130W Stinger II gunship over Syria and Iraq on this day, August 22, 2020, in honor of Wilmot's Bar and Grill. Wilmot's Bar and Grill is doing big things lately. Are you going to put it up at Wilmot's?
Starting point is 00:06:19 Randy has handed me said flag, and I don't want to desecrate. Show it to the camera, David. There it is. It's folded beautifully. It's authentic. It's legit. It's folded. I don't want to desecrate. Show it to the camera, David. There it is. It's folded beautifully. It's authentic. It's legit. It's highly folded. I haven't folded a flag since Pledge Ship.
Starting point is 00:06:30 What's the man's name again? Let me make sure I get it right. I don't want to get this incorrect. His name is Sergeant John Gow. Sergeant John Gow. Thank you very much. Shouts. He's supposed to be anonymous.
Starting point is 00:06:45 He's undercover. Thank you for not only the flag, which is an incredible gesture, but for your service as well. Yeah, for protecting our freedom. We thank you. We and the entire Wilmont staff thanks you for everything you do. Very cool. Very cool.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Rum floaters on us next time. I'll say this. They're always on us. Everyone knows that. I'll say this. It was a great way to start the Monday opening. Absolutely. That'll change anyone. Did we guess up the dude from last week, Ken?
Starting point is 00:07:10 Ken! What'd Ken do? He sent us individual gifts. Oh, yeah! Okay, I've been meaning to ask you guys because I want to reach out to him. Yes, I've been meaning to ask what this fellow's last name is. We need to get his at. Oh, I do know his last name. But I looked it up and I couldn't find him.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Okay, we'll find him. Is it, begin with an H? Yes. Hamby. All right. Yes, but I couldn't find the dude. We're going to find him. He sent us some very nice gifts for Christmas, and it was very heartfelt.
Starting point is 00:07:35 And Sally even- Extremely thoughtful gifts. Sally was amazed. She was like, I can't believe that somebody went through all this effort. This is beautiful. Thank you. So, yeah, I mentioned that a tradition I have been starting with Parks for Christmas time is we're going to bake cookies together for Santa Claus. He sent us cookie ingredients and cookie cutters.
Starting point is 00:07:55 Very nice. Dinosaur cookie cutters, David. Imagine. It's cool. Imagine eating a cookie shaped like a T-Rex. Me and Parks also have a tradition. We're starting now. Just getting baked. Wow eating a cookie shaped like a T-Rex. Me and Parks also have a tradition. We're starting now. Just getting baked.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Wow. Smoking weed with your son. Please don't get high with my son. He's five. Please don't do that. That could stunt some major things in his life, Dave. Chicken butt, Dave. Only edibles for him.
Starting point is 00:08:19 CBD gummies only? Mm-hmm. Trace amounts? Are there parents out there giving CBD gummies to their kids and shit? There absolutely are. Yeah. Like, on the low? Is that worse than what parents who would put, like, a little bourbon in their kid's bottle?
Starting point is 00:08:34 No. No, wouldn't they just put it on the tip of the bottle to help the teething? Didn't they? I feel like some of the more rural folks might have gotten a little crazy with it. My mom used to give me a little tiny. Koffser? No, champagne. Oh.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Like if they had like a dinner party or something and there was champagne out. I remember two occasions where I got to have like a little sip of it and I was like, oh, my God, this is crazy. It's just so bubbly. I know you both like some champsies. Yeah, I do know you like some champsies. Okay. All right. Champsies.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Let's recap this weekend in fun. Presented by ButcherBox. You guys know I love me some ButcherBox. Of course. I actually have two steaks sitting in the refrigerator right now from ButcherBox that are going to get done on the cast iron tonight. And they're going to be served with a kale Caesar salad, and I'm very excited about this. Man, I've been doing big-time cast iron steaks, and they're good, man.
Starting point is 00:09:30 Dude, they're good. They really are. Like, you can't poo-poo them at this point. No, who's doing that? Mm-mm. Mm-mm. And when it comes to meat, quality matters. There's nothing – I mean, but there's more to it than just texture and taste.
Starting point is 00:09:41 There's always these hidden costs with low-quality meat that you're not even taking into consideration, you know, weird flavor costs, the environment, all that kind of stuff. But you want humanely raised high quality meat just sent right to you. And guess what?
Starting point is 00:09:54 Butcher box does just that. It's such a treat. Yeah. I love getting a butcher box, just coming home, seeing it. The porch pirates haven't taken it. Just chilling there,
Starting point is 00:10:03 bring it inside. Very easy to unpackage. And then just, you go dispose of it. Yeah. And it's all frozen. So if you don't taken it. Just chill in there. Bring it inside. Very easy to unpackage and then just you go dispose of it. Yeah. And it's all frozen so if you don't have the capacity to eat it all right there, you can just toss it in the freezer and you're good. Oh yeah. You're good. Oh yeah. Luckily, today's sponsor, ButcherBox, believes everyone deserves
Starting point is 00:10:17 high quality, humanely sourced meat. This last package I got from them was just incredible. As you know, they curate a selection of high-quality meat that they send right to your home. It's all free of antibiotics and added hormones. Each box has about 9 to 11 pounds of meat, enough for 24 individual meals. Yeah. Your boy got some pork chops.
Starting point is 00:10:36 I got some chicken breasts sitting there. Yep. I got a flat, oh, man, I don't even know what it was called. I had to look up how to cook this, but it was like a flat-top. So loin? Yeah, something. And I made some stew with it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:50 It went off. The two ribeyes I sent didn't last long. I got into the bacon as well. Oh, we got into the bacon. The bacon was a staple in some salads. The bacon's fantastic. Thick cut, legit bacon. Butcher Box is a no-brainer.
Starting point is 00:11:06 It's got the best meat shipped right to your door, which means less trip to the grocers, options like 100% grass-fed and finished beef, free-range organic chicken, heritage pork, wild-caught elastic salmon, and sugar and nitrate-free bacon. It's the way meat should be. Butcher Box is the most affordable and convenient way to get healthy, humanely-raised meat. With Butcher Box, you get the highest quality meat for just about $6 a meal. And they even have free shipping nationwide, except to Alaska and Hawaii, which I get. We got mad love for Alaska and Hawaii.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Do we, though? I think I do. Okay. Shout out to Doug, who's in Hawaii. Major shouts to Doug. Big listener. Just send him an air fryer. Shout out to the Alaskan Bush people.
Starting point is 00:11:44 That's right. Them as well. Yep. Pierce Bush. an air fryer. Shout out to the Alaskan Bush people. That's right. Them as well. Yep. Pierce Bush. You guys want to hear something crazy? Mm-hmm. Bacon for Life is back right now. New members can get Bacon for Life when they sign up.
Starting point is 00:11:55 What? Bacon for Life. Just go to butcherbox.com slash circling back. That's a package of free bacon in every box for the life of your subscription when you go to butcherbox.com. That's a hell of a deal. Bacon for the rest of your life? Yeah, that's a deal that I can get on board with. Folks, it's good bacon too.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Yeah. It is. Man. All right, Dylan, start us off. I would love to sit here and tell you about this awesome weekend I had. But Friday was cool. I had Parks, and he loves to stay up late, so I let him stay up late. We just kind of snapped and had a little slumber party, watched movies, and made popcorn, and
Starting point is 00:12:33 you know, it was a cute scene over there. What movies do you guys watch? We watched Home Alone. We watched Home Alone for about the 10th time. He loves it. Does he like Home Alone for about the 10th time. He loves it. Does he like Home Alone 2? He's a Home Alone 1 guy, I think. Has he ever seen Home Alone 3?
Starting point is 00:12:53 Dude. No. I know where you're going with this. It's just going to make me mad. I wish you wouldn't bring this up. I wouldn't let him watch Home Alone 3. I don't even know where I'm going with it. I was going to say that I think you should sit him down and have him watch Home Alone 3
Starting point is 00:13:05 and we can get an honest take from him on it. From a five-year-old? Yeah. Because, like, I can't watch that movie and have an honest take on it at this point. Well, what if there's somebody who's never seen the first two and has only seen Home Alone 3? And what if that person works for us? No, Randy has seen number one.
Starting point is 00:13:22 You've seen one? I've seen all three of them. Randy is saying seen one? I've seen all three of them. Randy is saying off mic that he's seen all three of them. I think he said that he only owns one and three. I swear you said that either three was your favorite or you've never seen the other ones. He is shaking his head no. Okay. All right, man.
Starting point is 00:13:37 I'm going to go back and check the tape. Wow. It just seems like something you would say, to be fair. Yeah, it's true. Anyway, hanging out with Parks was by far the highlight of my weekend because Saturday morning his mom came and picked him up, and it was just me at the crib for the rest of the weekend trying to get through this quarantine situation.
Starting point is 00:13:55 Didn't do a thing, like nothing. I watched football. I feel bad for me because it was just a shit week. I mean, I just didn't do anything. Okay, fine. I'll hang out with you sometime soon. And big fantasy football weekend for me. I hate this.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Yeah. That's sick. I got second to last place, thankfully, and so I don't have to do the Waffle House Challenge, which I was not looking forward to doing. I know everyone around me was looking forward to me doing that, but I got lucky. On a scale of 1 to 10, how much were you dreading it? forward to doing. I know everyone around me was looking forward to me doing that, but I got lucky.
Starting point is 00:14:26 On a scale of one to 10, how much were you dreading it? So not as much as I was dreading the wearing a dress in line of Franklin's because I don't, I don't like, I don't deal with public humiliation very well. Okay. I would rather, I think I would rather stand in a dress at Franklin's than six hours. It's better than sitting at Waffle House for like, I mean about's better than sitting at Waffle House for, like, I mean, about 18 hours if I can't eat that much. My goal would have been 12 waffles and be there for 12 hours. Which I think is somewhat lofty. It's a waffle an hour for 12 hours.
Starting point is 00:14:59 Yeah. And they're big. They're big boys. You would have gained so much weight. Oof. That's why you were dreading. No, actually, no. You weren't dreading that one more.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Dude, you had like one avocado a day for a week, and you put on like 80 pounds. I don't think I put on 80. I don't know. It was a lot more than one. Liv Langdon told you, like, yeah, dude, you need to mix in some avocados. And you're like, all right. So you started eating like three a day. Oh, I was housing avocados.
Starting point is 00:15:21 You took it to heart. Oh, yeah. I just love that you came to the realization. You're like, I think stop eating avocados i think i'm getting fat yeah dude avocado gets old real quick i don't even like i don't even enjoy them anymore i'm not like hating on avocados but like unless it's in guacamole and i don't even want it yeah that's the only way you can enjoy guacamole. Avocado toast is the number one requested food item from Parks right now. God. He loves avocado toast. Just like his daddy.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Wow, it's pizza bae as well? He's just kind of lukewarm on pizza. He can go with or without it. It's weird. That's interesting. He doesn't respect the czar? Has he had phantasma yet? Maybe that's the issue.
Starting point is 00:16:02 He hasn't had phantasma. He's a thin crust. We've got to stop gassing them up because now that place is so crowded. I had to wait to pick up my order last night. Good. They needed that. I know. I told Dave.
Starting point is 00:16:11 I was like, you know, it's double-edged sword. I'm happy that my favorite place is staying in business, but at the same time, I don't like having to wait. It's okay, though. As long as they're doing okay, I'm fine. Yeah. There's going to be a day in my life where they shut down and I'm, like, devastated. So it's all good.
Starting point is 00:16:27 And that concludes my weekend in not so much fun. Wow. Okay, I've got the tape here. Randy just texted, As a kid, I weirdly probably watched Home Alone 3 more than 2. So I had it a little bit wrong, but it's still something that just has been bothering me all weekend. Yeah, I've still never seen three. Maybe I'll watch three this year. Is three around
Starting point is 00:16:48 Christmas time? Okay. Just making sure. It is. I've never seen it. I've never seen it either. I might watch it. And I'm making judgments on a movie I've never seen. Who's that little Walmart JTT who plays the main character? Who is it, Randy? They couldn't afford JTT. No, you have to know the actor.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Little pipsqueak. Little jerk. Should we just watch it and do like a review? No. I don't want to watch it. We could let Randy lead it. His name's Alex Lins. What's he doing now?
Starting point is 00:17:19 Nothing. He looks like he's in CSI or some shit. He looks like a weirdo now. What does JTT look like these days? It's the same. He's got the same face. He's just older. It's very strangeI or some shit. He looks like a weirdo now. What does JTT look like these days? It's the same. He's got the same face. He's just older. It's very strange.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Really? Yeah. Interesting. Thanks for asking, Will. We played golf Friday. We did. The boys were buzzing. We were lucky enough to be invited again back out to Spanish Oaks.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Not to name drop, but, I mean, that's where we played. Okay? Mm-hmm. And we got out there, and Dylan prayed for rain because he couldn't play, so he was wishing rain upon us. And rain – Correct. It was rain.
Starting point is 00:17:56 It delayed us about 30 minutes, but it softened up the course, just made it more gettable, you know? Yeah. So it actually worked out in our favor. Very comfortable day. As far as like cloudy days go, like very, very tolerable. Do you want me to make a proclamation? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:13 It was my single favorite round of golf I've played in 2020. Do you think it's because like somebody who normally plays with you wasn't there? Had nothing to do with that. Like addition by subtraction we were able to wear pants the entire time i peeled the pullover once for about five holes before i got to put it back on again because yeah we had a little cool we threw them back on i got an uncrustable you did frozen one can i say they're better not frozen they're better frozen no they're crazy they're not uh and i didn't better frozen. No, they're not. They're crazy. They're not.
Starting point is 00:18:49 And I didn't play bad enough that I was ever in a bad mood. I just truly enjoyed it. How did Brett's swing journey go? Well, I think there's a reason Brett decided to sit out today's episode. Yeah, Brett had a harder time out there, but it's okay. It's a tough course if you're working through some things. Well, Brett was also working throughout the round and doing emails and stuff, and I think his mental game wasn't totally there.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Let's put it that way. He's been spending so much time on a swing lately, though, I feel bad for him. He finally let it take it out for an actual drive, and it just didn't perform. He had one drive that he absolutely pissed on and put it like within 20 yards of the green. And it was like, see, this is, this is what the swing journey is all aiming or trying to get toward.
Starting point is 00:19:30 I just don't know if it's there yet. Everyone has that one really good drive or shot. But he had a skip in his step after that one. And I was like, this is what, this is his end goal for the swing journey. And I just don't know if he can put it within 20 yards. He thought he found something.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Yep. Yep. Was that KJ? I thought he found something. Yep. Yep. Was that KJ? I thought I heard somebody come in. Nope. He said he was going to Costco for too much dip. I love it. Dad shit.
Starting point is 00:19:53 I love that. Yeah, so that was good. Shout out to Ryan for having us out. And for the bourbon samples. I don't get any bourbon samples. No, I'm just kidding. You're a bourbon guy. You're going to be a bourbon guy too at some point.
Starting point is 00:20:06 I'm a Japanese whiskey guy right now. You're a Japanese whiskey guy. Yeah. I'm still a mezcal guy. All right. Noted for when Christmas comes along. Friday night we ordered za. Hey, speaking of, are we doing a Secret Santa gift exchange?
Starting point is 00:20:20 We could. Okay. We're not? Dave says no. Dave has already bought the homie way too many presents. I mean, we could cap it at like 25 bucks
Starting point is 00:20:29 if y'all wanted to. Can I just give you 25 bucks? We gotta do it this week. I know. That's why I'm bringing it up right now. All right, let's do it. We'll do it Thursday on the Patreon.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Okay. We just have a couple days to get a gift now. Amazon Prime, bro. We have to pick our people. Bezos. Oh, yeah. You know?
Starting point is 00:20:50 We can make KJ pick. Bezos. Yeah, KJ will just text everybody who they have. We should probably tell KJ about this. Nah, he's good. He's listening. Okay. Just text us.
Starting point is 00:21:02 I was going to see if Randy could just write names on little pieces of paper and put in a hat, but whatever. We could do that. Saturday, we did a little brunch with the Dudleys. I can't remember the name of the place, but it's a place that it's like a boutique hotel off of Congress. Is that where you got that picture off? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:21 That was a good pic. You guys look good. It's a fantastic spot, and I had no clue it was there. It's a hotel, but they've got a little restaurant, of course, and a little courtyard. Very nice. It looked nice. South Congress? I saw Alyssa's Instagram story, and I thought to myself, that looks nice.
Starting point is 00:21:35 That little new strip thing. I want to say like Music Street. It's tight. Yeah. I've been through there. It's fantastic. And the best part about it, they've got a parking garage, so you don't have to fuck with, like, South Congress parking, which is – I told her, I was like, can we just Uber?
Starting point is 00:21:49 Because I don't want to get down there and have to deal with parking. No. She's like, there will be a parking garage. And I was like, okay. Okay. Deal. Deal. Saturday night was just watching the big games, watching the UFC,
Starting point is 00:22:03 watching some boxing. It was just, it was peak sports day. I didn't leave the couch. I didn't turn on the Xbox. I just watched sports and chatted it up in the Discord. If you guys aren't in the Discord,
Starting point is 00:22:15 get in there. If you want to talk sports, go to the Too Much Dip channel. We're talking sports. Okay? We just are. I finally narrowed it down to my favorite 25 threads
Starting point is 00:22:22 on the Discord. There's many threads. I'm having fun with them. What bugs me about the Discord is that there's not a notification spot, so if it says that you've been mentioned on it, it's really hard to figure out where this mention was. Sometimes you have to go back way too far. You know what I'm talking about?
Starting point is 00:22:40 No. Maybe you're just not getting mentioned enough, dude. That's fine. That's fine. I don't care about that. Nobody's mentioned in Dorne. If there's something that you have to tell me, that's not the place to let me know. Someone asked me what Discord was, and I said it's essentially Slack for friends.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Exactly. That's all it is. Yeah. That's about it. Yesterday was pretty low-key. Yesterday was just so windy. We went to the park and... oh it was howling dude the leaves blowing were like scaring him he's like watching like stuff blow around and he was like whoa what's going on talking about my my dog
Starting point is 00:23:16 but yeah you didn't have the human running around your backyard like playing with leaves probably was he was probably doing it as an did y'all ever jump in the leaf pile? Of course, dude. Yeah, I always did. You had to. I had a neighbor who, like, when I invited him over to do it, his parents, he told me this. He said, my parents won't let me. They say it's too dirty.
Starting point is 00:23:37 Wee. Oh, that kid's soft-ass. Wee. Your parents are even softer. Yeah, I heard people be like, you know, what if there's like a stick in there and it like impales your eye? Well, don't jump in head first. Don't jump in like eyeball first.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Don't swan dive. Shut your eyes, bitch. No one's swan diving into leaves. No, that's not a problem. Every year around this time, that video of the dog just going full speed, just jumping into that giant pile and disappearing. It's one of my favorite videos.
Starting point is 00:24:01 No, they have like super cuts of it, like that same dog doing it like 100 times in a row. So tight. Every single time, I'm like, I'm just grinning ear to ear. I'm like going Arsenio Hall. What? He's just depressed all summer waiting for fall to come around again. Little leaves on the ground.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Where are the leaves at, dog? I didn't have much else outside of Dave this weekend. Yeah, you know, we had to go out on the course and swing the sticks. For those wondering, yeah, I shot a 90. I tied you. Yeah, but I had an asterisk on my score. I took a triple on a hole that I just pretty much didn't play. It wasn't an honest 90, but I took a hole off.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Let's put it that way. That's okay. Yeah. That's okay. Yeah. My handicap only lets me take like a triple. If you had to guess what Brett shot, like what would you say? Not doing that.
Starting point is 00:24:46 All right. Don't do it like that. Can't do that. Are we talking triple digis? No. Not doing it. Trip digis? Can't do it.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Conditions were tough. Conditions were hard, yeah. Even though Dave and I shot the exact same score. And then, yeah, your boy hit Mattel Rancho for dinner that night. Huh. It was a – let me put it this way. It was a – Me too.
Starting point is 00:25:11 It was a quick text from a young family member that set this off. Didn't you go to Matt's twice and – I've been to Matt's more times. I'm not happy about this. I've been to Matt's a lot. We're waiting on a – we've got a thing we're waiting on. Not going to pull the curtain completely back, but we're waiting on an email. A good email for Brett.
Starting point is 00:25:30 And we've been planning, like, as soon as we get this email and we get the good news, we're going to Mets. I'm there. We're going to do a patio thing. You just can't hold yourself. I can't. I've been to Mets like five times in the last week. You've got to stop going to Mets. It's so close. And then, yeah, honestly
Starting point is 00:25:46 on Saturday I didn't do much. The Manchester Derby was on Saturday. That means that both teams from Manchester played each other, Dylan. What race was that? Was that like the Subway Series in New York? Exactly. It was 0-0 and it was a really boring game. It was not worth watching. The text that I sent to the
Starting point is 00:26:01 Too Much Dip text saying, great game on. Yeah, it turned out to be a shit game, so I hope you guys didn't watch it. We didn't. But it was only as boring as the F1 race yesterday morning. Everybody loves F1. And yesterday, what happened yesterday? Did Lewis Hamilton win? No, Max Verstappen won, but the race was just boring.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Everyone's pretty much clamoring for them to get rid of this track because it's just boring. You can't pass on it? Yeah, it's just lame. That's pretty much clamoring for them to get rid of this track because it's just boring. You can't pass on it? Yeah, it's just lame. That's stupid. Yeah. So, but yeah, I didn't really do too much. We did do a Christmas card with Sally's family yesterday.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Wrangling all those people together is always a very fun time. Yeah, I bet you had a good time. Yeah, with the wind kicking up around 3 o'clock, we were really under the gun there. It was howling. Mm-hmm. Oh! Yeah, but outside of that, I didn't do too much.
Starting point is 00:26:52 I just watched a lot of TV, hung out, and kind of got cozy. I don't know. I did learn. I told you guys this before the podcast. I learned that four hazy IPAs is enough to ruin my entire next day. Dude, two IPAs ruins me. Dude, when they're hazy, though, you know? before the podcast. I learned that four hazy IPAs is enough to ruin my entire next day. Dude, two IPAs ruins me. Dude, when they're hazy though, you know? Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Had to drink some liquid IV yesterday. Non-spawn. But yeah, that's it. That's all I got. Can we talk new sponsor real quick? No one saw this sponsor coming. Yeah, I was a little surprised to see it on the... Do you want to give them the treatment?
Starting point is 00:27:26 New sponsor. New sponsor alert. We have a new sponsor. There it is. You killed that. All right, Dylan, I'm going to talk directly to you right now. Let's go. Have you ever watched the World Series of Poker on TV
Starting point is 00:27:37 and dreamed of winning it big like the pros? I certainly have. I still watch it on TV every now and then. I caught myself watching it for an extended period of time the other day.

It's going to be like when he loses a drive off of a T-Box. You know how he gets? He's going to be like that after I just bluff his ass into going all in.

Starting point is 00:30:04 Yeah. Dude, I'm like a stone over here. You can't read my dude what are you talking about you know I'm a stone dog you're like the most readable person in the world if you're in a bad mood I know immediately good mood no immediately that's that's fair that's fair yeah I would own your ass dude oh my god you'd be paying you'd be paying me my money dude oh man shut up it's gonna be absurd the next thing i have on this rundown just says vaccine time baby and i know that i wrote that but like i don't really know what we're doing can we just talk about like taking dylan all this shit dude i would love it uh i've got yeah i'd take all
Starting point is 00:30:44 the shit i'd give it back to him eventually but i'd like make him beg for it i'd i'd oh i would say dude you can just pay me later but i would like collect interest i put some points on top of it you'd start the juice on it yeah damn dude that's not very friendly vaccine time baby what is this talking about so are we getting this vaccine or what? You put it right in front of me right now, I'll take it. You know what? I'm not going to take it until I see three living U.S. presidents take it in a TV event.
Starting point is 00:31:17 Are they doing that? Do they already do it? That's going to make me pass out if they do that. That's not going to stop the conspiracy theorists. I don't want to watch someone get a shot. Let me just say that. Yeah. I might pass out on my couch. I don't like to pass out if they do that. It's not going to stop the conspiracy theorists. I don't want to watch someone get a shot. Let me just say that. Yeah. I might pass out on my couch. I don't like getting a shot.
Starting point is 00:31:29 I need Rosie to like pound the life alert button because I just passed out because I saw W get pricked in the arm. I definitely don't want to watch Bill get it. Bill's very old. No, he's like all brittle and weird looking. Yeah. Why is he so weird looking though? I think it's the demons in his closet that are just finally coming out and haunting him. Yeah, he doesn't look well.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Maybe he needs his vaccine. You think he's had COVID this entire time? I'm taking the vaccine. I don't care, man. Patient zero? I'll take whatever. When are guys like us, relatively healthy dudes in their mid-30s, going to get it? Like 2022?
Starting point is 00:32:01 I was going to say Dylan's probably on deck first. Oh, for the old people? Yeah. Isn't it a... You're going to have to tell us how it is. I mean, isn't there... If we got sick and we were like sick, sick and needed to be put on a ventilator type situation, then they would give it to us, correct?
Starting point is 00:32:18 Dude, too late. I'm already sick. I don't have a vaccine. Sick. Bernie says I don't have a vaccine. I don't know how this vaccine works. No, you get it before. Oh, to prevent you from getting sick.
Starting point is 00:32:29 To prevent you, to build up the antibodies. Okay. Put some respect on the name. I don't know what I'm a bigger fan of, antibodies or anti-flag. Anti-flag, all their songs sounded the same. Dude, come on. Don't do number two Bob like that. Don't do Justin Sane like that.
Starting point is 00:32:50 No idea what you're talking about. It's a punk band that you probably wouldn't even fucking know, dude. I don't listen to punk. Can you pick where you get the shot? I don't know. You probably have to get armed. Some people like getting it in the cheek. In the buttocks?
Starting point is 00:33:04 I've taken a significant news break since the election has been over. Not like super intentional, but I'm just not taking it as much. Are we at all set up to just be giving vaccines to everybody? I feel like there's people out there that are going to get double vaccinated because we're just a mess. I think the – I don't know. You're questioning our infrastructure. Yeah. Yeah, because if I've learned anything about COVID testing, it's just a mess. I don't know. You're questioning our infrastructure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Yeah, because if I've learned anything about COVID testing, it's just a mess. Dude, have you seen the sign? I don't know if you go by Westlake High School, but there's a little sign. People just put bootleg handwritten signs that say, we'll buy your house for cash. Call this cell phone.
Starting point is 00:33:42 Fix her upper. Well, they have one for COVID testing, and it's written on a piece of paper that's taped to a sign. And it's like, COVID-19 testing, rapid test. And it's all handwritten. I'm like, I'm not going there to get my test. There's one down the street from my apartment, and it looks like a dumpster that they put a sign on the side of that says, get tested here. And I'm like, this literally looks like a dumpster. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:03 Actually, I use that one. It's not a dumpster. It's like a little. It's like a dumpster. Yeah. Actually, I use that one. It's not a dumpster. It's like a little – What? Like a portable classroom. It's like a storage box, basically. It's weird, though, right? It doesn't not look sketchy.
Starting point is 00:34:17 No, it looks very sketchy. This is why I have vaccine concerns. I feel like someone's going to tell me, like, oh, dude, I know this really good spot down the street to go get vaxxed. And then all of a sudden I'm going to have, like, some weird, like, liquid just floating in my body. Yeah. They do a lower nasal test there. I don't trust a lower nasal test. I don't trust a test unless it's touching my brain.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Yeah, I need my eyes to water. I need to look like crying Will when that test is done in order for me to trust it. Yeah, I hear that. I need to know more about this dumpster you got tested. I didn't get tested in a dumpster, David. It looks so sketchy driving by. It's a drive-up. It's a drive-through situation.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Okay. And they're set up in basically like a little storage unit thing. Okay. You should drive by just to see. It sounds a lot different than a dumpster. No, it definitely looks sketchy. It does. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:07 I told Sally about it, and she was like, I don't know how to feel about that. I was like, yeah. It was recommended to me. When I got tested twice on the same day, that was one of them. How effective is this vaccine supposed to be? Do we have a number? I think it's 95%. Which is considered very strong for a vaccine. Can you pick which vaccine you get?
Starting point is 00:35:27 Like what if I'm like, man, I just got to get that Pfizer. I don't know, Dave. I don't know. How many are there out there? You just like them because it's a boner pill company? Is that why? Do they do boner pills? Pfizer?
Starting point is 00:35:38 It's interesting you knew that. I think everyone knows. I didn't know that. Yeah, you did. GetRoman.com slash scaries. Never mind. You were saying you wanted me to pick you up
Starting point is 00:35:52 a Spanish Oaks visor. It's different. That's good. It's not. It's not good. It's not. That was bad. They just have them
Starting point is 00:36:00 in the bathrooms out there. That was bad. They do have the best logo. They have little acorns on them. That'd be sick. That would be ultimate country club, like, bougie shit. In the conference station, they just have, like, a pile of, like, donor pills. That'd be sick.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Somewhere out there, there's a club that has that. That one, yeah. You see Michael Jordan's new club? No. Michael Jordan built, like, a golf course in Hope Sound, Florida. It's just swag. Oh, they have drone delivery for drinks and snacks and shit. That's Jordan's place?
Starting point is 00:36:32 I did see that. That seems unnecessary. That's his spot, I think. It's like Roman numeral 23. That's not what it's called, but it's just like 23 with Roman numerals. You just hop on the Glink app and you just dial up like a Gatorade and a Snickers bar. And then... Done.
Starting point is 00:36:47 Boom. Done. So no interaction with personnel. I think you can tip the drone. You have a little clip. You toss a $2 bill on it. The old guy in your group
Starting point is 00:36:59 is like flirting with the drone. Like, oh. You in college around here? Yeah. You in school? Oh, man. Might as well see what you got in the beer chest over there. You in college around here? Yeah. You in school? Oh, man. Mind if I see what you got in the beer chest over there? You want to hit a shot?
Starting point is 00:37:10 Come on. Come on. Come hit a puck. Hey, that group in front of us, man, if they give you any problems, man, let us know. They playing slow up there? Is it backed up? Am I going to see you again? I'll see you again, right?
Starting point is 00:37:20 I'll see you. All right. Okay. Poor car girls. They just get it, man. Yeah. Yeah. What we have to remember is people like us like we're friendly with car girls but we're not like creepy friendly like right like we are we are best case scenario for car girls because they know we're gonna purchase we don't call them sugar and yeah we don't yeah we're not hitting them with like hey
Starting point is 00:37:39 like hey sweetie yeah oops i dropped my straw can you pick that up for me chill out chill out old man who are you golfing with bill clinton seriously oh you think he's ever said something inappropriate to a cart girl god they do they do get the rawest of deals don't they how do we get here from back now they're drones now they've been outsourced to the sky. I think Cargill should get vaccines before we get them. They're seeing a lot more people than us. I think the drones should get them. I want to get my vaccine from a drone.
Starting point is 00:38:13 No contact vaccine? Exactly. I'm in. Let me know if you find a place. I will. There's a dumpster over there on 3rd. I want to go. I'm actually glad you went there. Because now if I need to get tested, I'm going to be like, well, Dylan went here.
Starting point is 00:38:27 It seemed to work out. You can't just go to CVS and get it in theory at some point because I've got to get a whooping cough vaccine for the baby. Whoop, there it is. Sorry, wrong pipe. Yeah, I got to get a whooping cough vaccine for the baby? When can we get this? I don't know. People like this.
Starting point is 00:38:50 I don't think, I have no faith that. It's going to be summer. When do podcasters get the vaccine? Yeah, we're like the lowest form of people that need the vaccine. So it's frontline workers and old folks first, right? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Makes sense.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Yeah. Apparently they shipped yesterday. To be honest, I don't know. first right mm-hmm mm-hmm makes sense yeah apparently that means sally apparently they shipped yesterday to be honest i don't know i don't think sally's i don't think sally's work has made any decisions on anything or sent out anything i have no clue but she probably will get it sooner than most sooner than most can we talk about this viral tweet we need to send one of y'all to get it and we can come in and we can all become blood brothers and just share the antibodies among us. I'd be down with that. Were you ever blood brothers with anybody?
Starting point is 00:39:29 No. It always gave me pause, you know, just because of the HIV scare of the early 90s. Yeah, that makes sense. I kind of wish I did it, to be honest. I think they had to, like, tell people in my elementary school, like, don't be blood brothers. It kind of would have been tight to be blood brothers with somebody, though. Yeah. Do you want to do it?
Starting point is 00:39:45 No. What if we get, like, a full test and scan, like, before we do it and we become blood brothers. It kind of would have been tight to be blood brothers with somebody though. Yeah. Do you want to do it? No. What if we get like a full test and scan like before we do it and then we can become blood brothers? Maybe. Okay. Saliva brothers.
Starting point is 00:39:53 So, we're already saliva brothers. Just baby bird bros. Gotta kiss the homies. What's the viral tweet? All right. We walked in today. The reason we found this as something we should do is because everyone asked at a different point,
Starting point is 00:40:08 like, why is Boondock Saints trending this morning? Why is The Departed trending? Well, this tweet from Truthfully Mike. Mike is very truthful. He said, what would you pick to watch first? Randy tossed this up on the screen. He has a stack of DVDs, which looks like every single dude's freshman year dorm room. Everyone had all these.
Starting point is 00:40:28 Do you want me to just read through them real quick? This tweet should not have gone viral. No. Let's be clear. But it went viral because people were picking Boondock Saints and shit. This is the exact kind of thing that does go viral, though. The Wolf of Wall Street's the first one. Reservoir Dogs.
Starting point is 00:40:40 The Godfather Trilogy. American Gangster. Three Disc Collectors Edition. What is that? The Darkfather Trilogy, American Gangster, Three Disc Collectors Edition, The Dark Knight Trilogy, No Country for Old Men, Mad Max Fury Road, Deer Hunter, which I've never even heard of, Heat. I've never seen Deer Hunter. I've never seen Deer Hunter. I'll admit that.
Starting point is 00:40:56 American Psycho, Boondock Saints, Gangs of New York, Scarface, Mystic River, The Departed, Training Day, and Goodfellas. I hate to admit there were a handful of these I have not seen. I will agree. I haven't seen Mad Max, Deer Hunter, Heat. I've seen Heat. Or Gangs of New York or Mystic River. Deer Hunter is a great movie if you want to be very depressed.
Starting point is 00:41:21 Oh, good. That's exactly what I mean. It is long. It is long. It is long. It has weird shit in it. There's times where you're like, ugh, you feel bad.
Starting point is 00:41:34 I think it won awards, though. It's very critically acclaimed. Have y'all seen Gangs of New York and should I watch it? I think you would like it. You've never seen Gangs of New York? You would like it. You don't think I would love it? You would love it.
Starting point is 00:41:44 No, I think you would love it. Oh, really? That movie's up your alley. I think you should like it. You ever seen Gangs of New York? You would like it. You don't think I would love it? You would love it. No, I think you would love it. Oh, really? Like, that movie's up your alley. I think you should watch it. Okay. It's got a top 10 Daniel Day-Lewis performance. Oh, it's got Leo in it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:53 Ain't Daniel Day-Lewis? Can I say that I'm very surprised you have not seen this movie? Yeah, I'm sorry. Look, it's on my list. I drink your milkshake. It's a different movie. I think this speaks to his age. Same guy, though.
Starting point is 00:42:05 He says that he would choose A Dark Night. Yeah, that's insane. Randy said, I think this speaks to his age. Same guy, though. He says that he would choose A Dark Knight. Yeah, that's insane. Randy said Dark Knight. That's just a bad take. But I don't think my takes are much better on these. The only movies I haven't seen from this are Most of the Godfathers, Deer Hunter. I watched the first half of Mad Max and just didn't care. And Mystic River.
Starting point is 00:42:25 You've never seen Mystic River? Mystic River, to me, I'm surprised it's even in here because I've always looked at it and thought, oh, this is some novel about some breakup or something. Oh, it's a Sean Penn. A Clint Eastwood joint. Yeah, see, I didn't know that until now. Mystic River is Eastwood? You sure about that?
Starting point is 00:42:40 That's what it says right there above the title. It says a film by Clint Eastwood. Sean Penn, okay. I don't know if he's in it, but he at least directed it says a film by clint eastwood sean okay i don't know if he's in it but he at least direct no it's a sean penn no it's a it's like a i think it's a boston thing dude i've seen like 15 sean penn movies it's it's not bad but it's another movie where when you're done you're like huh i feel empty inside what's everyone's number one choice which you watch i mean because i haven't seen it and y'all said i would love it, Gangs of New York is going to be my number one choice.
Starting point is 00:43:05 No, you can't choose the one you haven't seen first just because you haven't seen it. That was my real answer, though. Other than that, of the ones I've seen, it might be No Country for Old Men. I really love that movie. It's very good. Okay. I really liked Wolf of Wall Street. I did, too.
Starting point is 00:43:22 It kind of gives me anxiety, but I really love that movie. Why does it give you anxiety? Because he wiles so hard? That lifestyle makes me anxious. The cocaine and the hookers and all that stuff just makes me a little bit uncomfortable. But it is a very entertaining movie. What are you going with, Dave? He's a shithead.
Starting point is 00:43:42 Wolf of Wall Street, I think, is just okay. Yeah, Shithead. Wolf of Wall Street, I think, is just okay. It produced better memes and gifs than it did actual joy for me in watching a movie. It's one that I'm glad I watched. I don't think I would watch it again if I didn't have to. So the first time I saw Wolf of Wall Street was on New Year's Day after a late night. So I was struggling.
Starting point is 00:44:06 And we decided to go to the movie theater and just settle in and just sit there. And it was such a great movie to watch after a bad New Year's Eve night because it made you feel way less guilty about everything you just did. It was like, oh man, I have my life together. We're good. And also, sitting in a theater hungover for three hours was the perfect remedy that I needed.
Starting point is 00:44:22 But it's not, I have never watched it fully front to back again. Yeah, it's one that if it's on I might take in a few minutes, but I have no desire. That's not to say it's a bad movie, but I'm bearing the lead here. I think I am going
Starting point is 00:44:38 this is a great collection here. You're going Godfather. You're going Godfather. I'm going GF, but I'm going GF1. I'm going GF1 maybe 2. I'll tell1. I'm going GF1, maybe 2. I'll tell you what I'm not going is Boondock Saints. Nah. People are very, very upset that Boondock Saints was even put in this. Yeah, he doesn't belong next to these classics.
Starting point is 00:44:55 Boondock Saints fans, though, they're a very, very, what's the word? Wild fan base. They love it. If you've never seen a movie in this genre before and you watch it, that's pretty fucking good. But then when you compare it to the other ones here, you're like, ah, that movie actually sucks. Boondock Saints fans live their life St. Patrick's Day to St. Patrick's Day,
Starting point is 00:45:19 and they love getting drunk on green beer on St. Patrick's Day. You think Dan's a big Boondock Saint guy? I could see Dan being like, nah. Nah. He's like, I knew some dudes that would like that. Reservoir Dogs is better than Boondock Saints. Agree. I still think Reservoir Dogs is only okay. Mr.
Starting point is 00:45:36 White. Mr. Pink. We haven't talked No Country for Old Men. No Country for Old Men. I said it was my choice. Oh. Did you really? No Country for Old Men, I feel like it's kind of one that is kind of like an outlier in terms of a lot of the genres in this just the just kind of the the entire vibe of the movie yeah it's a it's more of just a suspense movie than like a gangster movie you know yeah okay for me you guys ready what for what i'm doing
Starting point is 00:46:04 but these are not all gangster movies i probably shouldn't have said that You know? Yeah. Okay, for me, you guys ready for what I'm doing? These are not all gangster movies. I probably shouldn't have said that. American Psycho. They're close. My number two movie is Training Day on this. Okay. I love Training Day for some reason.
Starting point is 00:46:20 And as you'll see, I love Denzel. My number one, and this might be a trash tag, is American Gangster. I absolutely love that movie. And for some reason, I can watch it a million times in a row and it never gets old for me. I watched it recently and then told Sally I watched it. She was like, oh, I've never seen it. And so then I made her watch it and I watched it front to back in the span of 24
Starting point is 00:46:37 hours. Twice. Dude, Denzel is so good. I just love him. And I think it's a very underrated gangster movie. I think it's just great. Yeah, it is. Very good. You got Russell Crowe in the mix. I mean, he's obviously great.
Starting point is 00:46:51 The one movie that I feel bad about is that Goodfellas should have more love here. Why is Casino not in this? How do you not put Casino in this? I have a controversial tweet. Something about me thinking Casino might be better than Goodfellas. Do the verbal tweet. Let me just say that. I think what I mean with the spirit of that tweet was that I would rather watch casino than Goodfellas.
Starting point is 00:47:17 And that might be because I've seen Goodfellas too many times. Okay. So many times. You guys got love for Scarface? Yeah. But it's worn out. I wore it out in college probably. I mean, I'm sure you did too. You had the Scarface framed poster in your room.
Starting point is 00:47:34 No, I did not actually. In your apartment? Yeah, you did. I don't think I did. Scarface is good. I wouldn't put it above Goodfellas certainly. You know how I feel about American Gangster. I'm not going to get into that. I mean, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:47:47 Not American Gangster. The Godfather is what I meant. The outlier in here is... I'm not crazy about the Godfather movies. We know. I'm not crazy about you. I'm not either, but it's because I haven't really seen all of them. I put Goodfellas and Casino above The Godfather. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:48:05 Sorry. Sorry. This isn't making me want to go watch any of these right now, though. Deer Hunter should not be in this. I still don't even know. It doesn't make sense. I know this is just this random guy's collection, and there's not like any rhyme or reason, but it's just the outlier for me.
Starting point is 00:48:24 You guys have never seen the classic scene from De hunter the russian roulette it is the most oh dude i have never even heard of deer hunter i don't know how okay based on like how much you know about this oh it's a it's an all-time movie i haven't i haven't seen it but i i'm very aware of it's very dated feeling but i'm tweeting i'm tweeting from the circling back account so people don't complain like when where's uh oh man where's this photo from come on there you go come on there you go let's tweet it out yeah did y'all have a dvd tower in college you know like the thing that you just slide them into we just had a shelf that we put them on and we had way too many we had a dvd tower and it was like a badge of honor.
Starting point is 00:49:07 Out of all these movies, what are you throwing out? Ooh, probably Dark Knight. I don't like that take. I thought Dark Knight was great. Nah, yeah, I should probably take that back. It's not hard for me. It's Boondock Saint. Heath Ledger was an incredible joker.
Starting point is 00:49:31 I'm throwing out Mad Max, and it's not because I think it's a bad movie. I think it was objectively tight-looking when I was watching it, but it made me very, very anxious. The entire time, I just wanted it to be off the screen. I couldn't handle it. I don't love The Departed. I like The Departed. I don't love it. I like it. I enjoy it. I like The Departed. I don't love it. I enjoy it. Anything with Damon,
Starting point is 00:49:48 I'm in. Actually, I'm throwing out Boondock Saints. You didn't like Departed? Yeah. I like it. I just think it's a little bit overrated. Because of the cast, I think people were just a little bit fooled by how not great it was. I thought it was pretty good. It is good.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Pretty good. Could you have my headspace real quick? Sure. Even if you, especially if you watch some of those movies, life can be quite stressful, especially under normal circumstances. Let me get back into headspace. You need to. I need to, you know what, I'm going to do it today.
Starting point is 00:50:18 2020 has challenged even the most difficult of times. You need stress relief that goes beyond quick fixes, and that is headspace. Dylan, to pull back the curtain, I've actually been using it more lately. Really? Mm-hmm. For some reason, this holiday season has become a very anxious time for me. And I've thought to myself, you know what? Let's go back to what you have, Will.
Starting point is 00:50:35 Let's go back to that Headspace app. It's the time of year that stuff like this creeps in on you. Yeah. Headspace is your daily dose of mindfulness in the form of guided meditations and an easy to use app. And when I say it's easy to use, I truly mean that it's very simple to use. The entire experience is calming in itself. The app itself
Starting point is 00:50:54 looks amazing. It's the only meditation app advancing the field of mindfulness and meditation through clinically validated research. So whatever the situation, Headspace can really help you make you feel better. If you're overwhelmed, it even has three minute SOS meditations for you that you can just do real quick. Sitting at your desk, not feeling it, all right, three minutes, you're in, you're out. You might just have some deep breaths that you take and you're feeling good.
Starting point is 00:51:16 It's crazy how effective just breathing correctly is. Just having someone remind you to breathe, having that person there guiding you, telling you what to do. You shut your brain off. It's like the best way to just shut your brain off and not think about all the stressors in life. And something I need to start doing more, and I know that I need to start doing it more because it works, is that I always wake up in the middle of the night and then have trouble falling back asleep. If you need to have some more help falling asleep,
Starting point is 00:51:40 Headspace will have wind-down sessions with their members that they swear by. And for parents, Headspace even has morning meditations that you can do with your kids.

Is this going to be one of those things where you're like, nah, it's actually a Michigan thing? No. Because you are the proprietor of this. You're the only person I've ever met who has indulged in such a appetizer. You can't act like I'm not championing this.
Starting point is 00:52:50 You kind of were. No, no. Come on. Come on. You tried to normalize it. Wisconsin officials urge families to pass on holiday tradition of eating raw meat. Ground beef. Why do they call them cannibal sandwiches?
Starting point is 00:53:04 It's not human meat. I don't know why they're calling it that, but it somehow makes it so much worse. But it says the Wisconsin Department of Health Services is urging residents to put down their cannibal sandwiches, also known as raw meat sandwiches, tiger meat, or steak tartare. Tiger meat? Yep. It's not actual tiger meat. Dylan, I wish I knew, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:53:22 It says hundreds of people in the Midwest partake in a seasonal tradition each year according to a 2018 U.S. Department of Agriculture blog post which offers some tips for eating the sandwiches it says if cannibal sandwiches are a tradition in your home try the safer alternative cook the ground beef with the same spices and toppings yeah people are really going to do that like what's the point so I guess these sandwiches based on the photo for this these sandwiches are straight up just like ground beef. Which you have been known to partake in. So I will say this. Yes, I have been known to snag a pinch of ground beef out of the skillet when we're making like taco meat or you're just browning some meat up for something. I've been known to do that and then cover it in Lowry's salt and eat it.
Starting point is 00:54:06 Now, I defended you because you've had steak tartare before. Yeah, but this is such lower quality meat that I understand why people find it vile. Like, I get it. But it is beef. Yes. So it's not like it's going to be harmful to you. Right? There are several things that I—
Starting point is 00:54:21 Raw beef? Yeah. No, it can definitely be harmful. They still have a lot of things. You're always risking it whenever you do this. But they list other things that they were warning about, and I eat all these things. Actually, not raw chicken.
Starting point is 00:54:37 I'm sorry. Oh, God. But eggnog, raw eggs. Yeah. Potential risk. As people know, I'm a nog boy. I did it on the happy hour live the other time out so like how much raw egg is in is in eggnog i don't know i guess i didn't realize that
Starting point is 00:54:53 yeah sally told me that one time because she was like she's like don't drink too much you might get weird i was like okay that makes sense okay i think eggnog is one glass and you're good for the day uh if if i've learned anything about eggog, it's that I cannot drink more than one glass of it. But what did – I went full hog. Is that what KJ said about me? When did you go full hog? He said I went full hog on my first nog. Cookie dough.
Starting point is 00:55:18 I knew cookie dough was a problem. Who ain't eaten cookie dough though? As a little kid, you catch me getting that cookie dough. Oh, I was always taking the whisker things and eating the cookie dough off of it and stuff. I love cookie dough. It's delicious. Is the cookie dough ice cream, is the cookie dough that's in that prepared? Is that the same?
Starting point is 00:55:38 I would assume that if you got it from a store, they probably have some eggless version of it that just tastes. It's probably made in the same place where they make like human steaks. Dude, why are people doing this? I don't get why people in Wisconsin would even do this. And I will say like even though I have been the one who's taken a pinch of the ground beef, like eating an entire sandwich with this is insanity to me. It does sound really gross. I just – the fact that Wisconsin even has to come out and say that this is an issue is concerning about Wisconsin. How did this become a tradition?
Starting point is 00:56:10 Yeah, I've got to stop nibbling the raw meat. What are you doing? Just cook it. Plus, it just tastes a lot better when it's cooked. Yeah, have you ever had a cheeseburger? Yeah, they're pretty damn good. They taste good. Cheeseburgers taste good.
Starting point is 00:56:22 Do you eat the raw meat sandwich with one hand or two? That's the question everyone's asking about. You don't want that raw meat spilling out the sides, man. Did you see the TikTok that people are mad about? The young lady is browning some ground beef, and she's pointing out all the grease in it. She degreases. She pours the grease out,
Starting point is 00:56:42 and then she rinses the ground beef with water and then puts it back in the skillet. Why the hell did she do that? Because she's grossed out by the grease. You can't do that. So she rinsed her meat? She rinsed the meat. That's disgusting. I was bothered by it.
Starting point is 00:56:57 The only meat that I will rinse is lobster. I have rinsed my lobster meat before. Because it's got that green poopy stuff on it. You've got to get that stuff off. You know what I'm talking about? I've never cooked lobster. Dude, let's get lobsters off. I'm eating the shit out of lobster, though.
Starting point is 00:57:13 Do you have any New Year's plans? I'll be in Colorado. Oh, cool, man. You can get good lobster in there. Yeah, that's what I hear. Looks like I'll just be eating lobster alone in my apartment. I was going to invite you over for some lobsters. Doesn't sound like the worst.
Starting point is 00:57:27 Nah, it sounds pretty nice, actually. We could just pick a different day. No, but it's like a New Year's thing for me. Okay, fine, dude. Twist my arm. We can get lobsters another time. I have to reserve them this year. It's tough.
Starting point is 00:57:40 Shut up. What if this was much for you to... What if this was your last place fantasy football punishment, that you had to eat the raw meat sandwich? How fast you eating that thing? So I don't have the stomach for eating weird shit. What's the show with Joe Rogan? Fear Factor.
Starting point is 00:57:58 Fear Factor. They always eat the weird shit. Yeah. I don't have the stomach for that. You know what got the show canceled right someone ate something um they did a um donkey semen drinking challenge really yeah that was the one see i'm out joe talks about it he's like i told him it wasn't a good idea and yeah i guess drinking loads of donkey see was not the move why would they want why why i don't know i mean eating like those don't look at me i remember that and just being like yeah that kind of makes sense
Starting point is 00:58:32 it's really bizarre to think that joe rogan the fear factor guy and now has is like the biggest media outlet in the world i i don't know if he's the biggest media outlet in the world biggest alternative media there you. There you go. There you go. I think I could eat one of these sandwiches, but I would not want to tell people that I did it. You got to think we're like top 1,000. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:53 For sure. Yeah. For sure, dude. I'll check the rankings. For sure. For sure, dude. What do you season it up with? If I was seasoning it myself,
Starting point is 00:59:03 I would do a lot of Lowry's salt, a lot of cracked pepper um i don't really know what else to put on there but you'd have to season it a lot because you would you would want it to taste like something that's not just raw meat i still don't know why this is a thing i don't get it either i think the texture might be appealing like i don't know how to explain it it's not an it's not that i want to try it, but like, I could see how that texture of the cold meat with a little salt on it would be inviting to the palate. It's kind of like a, it's not like a pimento cheese sandwich. It's just like kind of mushy.
Starting point is 00:59:36 It's like, why do this when there's an obvious alternative that's so much better? Like a cheeseburger or a patty melt? Like you're just like punishing yourself for no, for Rico's tradition. It's like, oh yeah, every, every time. Maybe you're too lazy to cook it. Like every time around this year you're just like punishing yourself for no fruit because tradition. It's like, oh, yeah, every time. Maybe you're too lazy to cook it. Like every time around this year, we just like kick each other in the dick. Like just it's something we do. You should microwave it.
Starting point is 00:59:51 Just don't do that. Maybe you're like my friend who. Just don't get kicked in the dick. Didn't want to boil his ramen noodles noodles. So he just sprinkled the seasoning on said noodles and just ate them crunchy. Or. Like a sandwich with two hands it's like making a uh a bread sandwich where you toast the middle piece you know i'll give dan this i was gonna say give
Starting point is 01:00:11 give dan the proper recognition dan was doing bread sandwiches before anybody yeah i know i still think that i still think that the second new york times bestseller would have been the frat cookbook by dan rejester and it was just a bunch of really shitty recipes like that. The bread sandwich? Yeah. The bread sandwich is like the trademark one. It's just like you're so poor. My trademark poor college kid meal was like those pre-cut beef burger patties on a George Foreman grill.
Starting point is 01:00:42 The Foreman grill was trash. It would start out like eight inches in diameter, and when you cooked it, it was like five and a half because there was just so much fat that would drip off. It was disgusting. I was just never good at using them. Nothing I made on them ever turned out well. If you tried to do a
Starting point is 01:00:58 chicken breast, it was never cooked all the way. It was just a problem. Burgers were probably the only thing that you could cook on there. Dude, they killed on that thing. They must have sold a billion of those fucking things. Yeah. What's George Foreman's net worth today? Oh, let me guess.
Starting point is 01:01:12 I'm going to say $450 million. You're shocked. It's higher than that? I thought Dave was being ridiculous. It turns out Dave's not that far off. No, $300 million. Yeah. That's nuts. No, 300 million. Yeah. That's nuts.
Starting point is 01:01:27 Dude, the Foreman Grill. I don't know how much of it he got, because his name, they obviously used it. Well, he got apparently,
Starting point is 01:01:33 he got a significant amount. Because like, I mean, he was, fuck, in his boxing days, like as a prize fighter in the 60s and 70s,
Starting point is 01:01:40 he was a millionaire, but he was not, he wasn't approaching Trace Comas he's still he's still got a ways to go and I feel like Trace Comas
Starting point is 01:01:50 guys I just I just had a tweet hit the TL that just kind of devastated me what I just remembered
Starting point is 01:01:58 that we have Bachelor tonight and tomorrow night fuck let's go tonight let's go. Let's go. Is it two hours both nights? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:09 Why are they doing this to us? I don't know. Do we know if tonight's the men tell all or is tomorrow night? One of them is the tell all. God, I hope it's tonight. I just want the tell all tonight. I want the tell all to be first. I'm worried that it's not going to be till tomorrow because I think we still got to act some dues before we get the men tell all.
Starting point is 01:02:23 God bless it. Son of a... Do you guys want some instant takes on the new taylor swift album yeah you claim that you were going to play that you you very emphatically tweeted that whoever was your cartner on friday was going to get nothing but evermore i didn't do that better or worse than In fact, y'all didn't even have a Bluetooth speaker. I did have a Bluetooth speaker, but you were playing some on yours, so I respected you and I let you play your music, Dave. You said you liked my playlist. I did like your playlist.
Starting point is 01:02:55 That's why I didn't need one. God. All right. No, I didn't do it because I hadn't listened to it yet. I listened to it on the way to the golf course and I only got through about five songs. Better or worse than folklore? After my first, I've listened to it yet. I listened to it on the way to the golf course, and I only got through about five songs. Better or worse than Folklore? After my first, I've listened to it twice now, straight through. And after that, I will say that I very much liked Folklore more than I like Evermore.
Starting point is 01:03:15 That being said, there are some heaters on Evermore. I tweeted out my personal list last night. No one really came at me, or yesterday, no one really came at me with a lot of criticism, though I really opened myself up for some. I've listened to maybe four or five tracks so far from the album.
Starting point is 01:03:32 I very much disagree with Brett's take on that the Haim song, it's Haim, right? That's how you say it? I don't know how you say their name. I think it's Haim. It's definitely Haim, right? We're looking at Randy like Randy might know. Yeah, fucking... How does Randy not know?
Starting point is 01:03:46 Randy's like 22. No body, no crime? That's the favorite one of what I listen to. It's the Goodbye Earl of her album, which is obviously not a unique take for me because that's what everyone is saying about it. Did she kill the guy? Put him in the trunk?
Starting point is 01:03:59 No body, no crime, dude. Who knows? I wasn't overall impressed with the songs that I heard. Do you know any other songs that you heard? I think there's a little bit of like, we love Taylor Swift so much that we've already decided we're going to love her next album before we even listen to it. Factor going on here. Sure.
Starting point is 01:04:17 You're right. You know what I mean? You're right. I'm not saying it's bad. You're right. I'm just saying people need to chill out a little bit. The Sims are out. I'm one of them.
Starting point is 01:04:22 Yeah. My favorite song by far is long story short i've also mentioned that i am very much like her pop stuff long story short's got some poppiness to it i think you would like that one and it's later in the album so if you just started playing it from the beginning you might not know i will say that lover does not fit what i just said because it is absolutely one of my favorite Taylor Swift songs. It's a good one. It's so good. I'm not... I don't know. My top five, number one, long story short,
Starting point is 01:04:52 number two, Willow, number three, Tis the Damn Season, which is about just hooking up with people in your hometown, which I think is just funny. I think everyone... It's kind of a funny song to me. Ivy, and then I put on my initial first listen, I put Gold rush way too low gold rush is in the top five i'll put it that way have you listened dave you still haven't even listened to
Starting point is 01:05:12 what's it called yet i've listened to more ever more than i have folklore that's insane no well and i didn't my wife was listening to it as um she worked on some stuff in our nursery and uh i caught a little bit of it it's fine it's not look for me my taylor swift fandom starts and stops at 1989 well that maybe a little bit of red that's the hour maybe a little bit of red 22 you know maybe a little it's fun but her more serious stuff which i get is more it's sad boy season i get it yeah i just i don't really want to i'm not trying to do that these albums are essentially like headspace in music form they just make you work through some stuff it seems very like i have like a thought in my head anytime like i hear a song from one of these albums where it's kind of foggy and misty.
Starting point is 01:06:07 That's her vibe. She's wearing a flannel. That's her vibe, dude. I know. She's in her feels. It's just not my vibe. I'm trying to hit stingers. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 01:06:16 You can't hit a stinger to save your life, dude. No, I can't hit. I know. You've not played with me lately. You don't know shit about a stinger. Because you don't even play anymore. I will say, Brett was hitting some beautiful knockdown wedges the other day. I love a good knockdown.
Starting point is 01:06:27 Yeah, he had a couple beauties out there. Good for Brett. I need you to what? Nothing. What? Was there sarcasm in that? No. Okay.
Starting point is 01:06:38 No, he had two. One of them he called. One of them he looked at me and goes, hey, remember that one you liked a few holes ago? I was like, yeah. He goes, I'm doing it again. Now watch this knockdown. Yeah. God.
Starting point is 01:06:46 He's such a lag daddy now. He's chasing that lag like it's a Red Bull or something. I know. The lag daddy. He's got to chill. Oh, by the way, where did we bust him with a Red Bull? On the course. On the course.
Starting point is 01:07:01 He relapsed. We had to go in from the driving range because we saw some lightning. And we had to go in from there. And I saw him pick something up next to his bag. And sure enough, it was a tall boy, like wide. It was a girthy Red Bull. Oh, it was all the ounces. Yes.
Starting point is 01:07:17 I think it's the biggest one they offer. Well, I'm disappointed. All of the ounces. Doing all of the lights? Yeah, but with ounces of Red Bull. Okay. Overall, I'm going to give Evermore on the Will DeFreeze Taylor Swift scale, which has no other rankings ever on it.
Starting point is 01:07:36 I'm going to give it a 7 out of 10. And if I did Folklore, I give Folklore an 8.5 out of 10. Whoa. The initial timeline subjective takes were, oh, this is not as good as Folklore, I give Folklore an 8.5 out of 10. Whoa. The initial timeline subjective takes were, oh, this is not as good as Folklore. But in recent days, I feel like people are coming around on it. I think that there are a lot of people that were saying that it's just B-sides from Folklore. No, B-sides a lot of the time for me just suck. There are some very, very good songs on this album, but it's top-heavy.
Starting point is 01:08:07 Is there a secret song? They have bonus tracks that I haven't listened to yet. I think you have to order those or something. What about the skits? Are there skits? There's no skits. She's not... Yeezy, yeezy, what's good? She's not bringing in D.L. Hughley or...
Starting point is 01:08:21 Yeah, she's not just playing random voicemails from her boys in the middle of songs. I would do that if I had a record. Some people like the skins. Give it a fair shake, listen to it all the way through. That's what I did. I woke up hungover yesterday. I decided to put on my noise-canceling headphones, and I laid in bed watching the F1 race with Taylor Swift playing.
Starting point is 01:08:38 Jeez, you just canceled the noise. You know, she's not the only one who released music over the weekend. Oh, don't you have a recce? Well, the guy I tweeted about, it's not the only one Who released music Over the weekend Oh don't you have Do you have a recce? Well The guy I tweeted about Is not It's not new He's just a
Starting point is 01:08:50 Texas State kid Who's got a really good song out Named Cameron Sackie Is his name But Kid Cudi released a Is he related to Hack? Yes
Starting point is 01:09:01 Tequila Shots I believe is The second track On the new Kid Cudi album. Dude. It's fucking good. Really? I haven't heard the new Cudi yet.
Starting point is 01:09:09 Tequila Shots. Do I need to bump that ASAP? I don't like the whole album, but that's a really good song. Can I say that I thought you were talking about the Texas State Kid? No. And can I tell you that I was ready to make fun of the song Tequila Shots when I thought it was his song. But now that I know it's Kid Cudi, it takes on a completely different mindset. You and I had the exact same thing.
Starting point is 01:09:29 I was like, oh, Tequila Shots, bro. I was about to just rip him apart for having a song called Tequila Shots. Cool, man. But the fact that it's Cudi, I'm like, oh, shit, I bet that slaps. I never really got into Cudi, but I respect him. I had a very large Cudi face. The Texas State kid. What's his name again?
Starting point is 01:09:44 Cameron Sackie. The Cameron Sackie band. The song Nothing On You. He's got a great sound to him. Somebody's Sackie. He's got potential, I'll say. What's his genre? It's Red Dirt.
Starting point is 01:09:59 Hell yeah. I'm sorry. I'll give it a listen. I support Bobcats. Hell yeah. Listen to him. You should listen to him when I tweeted about it. I almost sorry. I'll give it a listen. I support Bobcats. Hell yeah. Listen to it. You should listen to it when I tweeted about it. I almost did, but I actually started searching it,
Starting point is 01:10:11 but I was in my parking garage, and I didn't have any service, so it wasn't bringing it up. I was going to bump it on my drive, and I don't text in drives. The last artist you recommended I did listen to, and I was like, okay, this isn't good. Really? Who? Meghan Trainor.
Starting point is 01:10:25 Oh, I would never do that. Because I'm all about the trouble in my face. You've got to hear this song. Are you guys ready for our – This is the anthem. Are you guys ready for our new segment? What is it? It's called Will's Breaking News.
Starting point is 01:10:37 That's sponsored by Hawthorne. Oh, my goodness. Something Brett's never done is he's never had Brett's Breaking News sponsored. Well, you give me Breaking News one day? Yeah, I'm getting it sponsored. I had to put this together before I never had Brett's Breaking News sponsored. Well, you give me Breaking News one day? Yeah, I'm getting it sponsored. I had to put this together before. I was talking to Hawthorne.
Starting point is 01:10:50 I was like, hey, is there any way you guys can – Brett's going to be crushed. I know. He's the ad sales guy. I know.

Starting point is 01:12:32 What do you guys want to start with? I'm going to just get real Brett and like... Choose your own adventure here. Push my hair back. Yeah, a little choose your own adventure here. Would you guys like Pornhub or Apple? We know Dave wants Pornhub, so let's just start there. You got ahead of that one before
Starting point is 01:12:48 Dave can make a Pornhub joke about you. Dylan knew what he was doing there. Pornhub, officially problematic. I guess amateur users can't upload videos anymore because there's some type of thing going on with, I don't know, maybe some abuse. That's going to cut into your foot fetish stuff that you've been uploading.
Starting point is 01:13:03 Your additional income is taken a massive hit. I know. That stream of Revy is gone. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the site still exists, but apparently users can't just upload stuff. I don't know. So the amateur section is no more, I guess.
Starting point is 01:13:18 Not sure. I've heard there's an amateur section. I don't know. I don't frequent this website. I've got to say, I am surprised that that made it that long, allowing people to upload their own stuff. I don't know what their checks and balances were, like to make sure that nothing.
Starting point is 01:13:32 I don't know how they could feasibly have a system where people weren't just uploading videos without the consent of everybody. That's what I don't get. Yeah. This was always going to end this way. Have you ever tried to upload a video to Pornhub? Yeah, he has. He's told me about it. What if we ever tried to upload a video to Pornhub? Yeah, he has. He's told me about it.
Starting point is 01:13:45 Yeah. What if we just started putting our episodes up on Pornhub and named them things? And we could just like... Dude, don't you remember when people were uploading, they would put pirated copies of movies and you could go on Pornhub just to subvert the system so you could go watch The Dark Knight before it comes out? I was going to say, I think I actually watched The Dark Knight on Pornhub. That's so pathetic, but awesome.
Starting point is 01:14:04 I know. I think someone told me that and I was like well fuck i kind of want to see it and then i think really i think i watched it on a porn site because someone sent it to me i was like well this seems like a good way to watch it but it was one of those things where like it would be it would be like property of blah blah blah yeah scrolling through there's chinese subtitles yeah oh yeah that was just and like there were definitely a few scenes where like the audio just did not match up with the dialogue. Oh, is that the first ever Randy sneeze in the middle of a pod?
Starting point is 01:14:30 God, he – K over there, bro? You guys hear about Apple? Randy looks very, like, coffee shop chic today with that outfit. He kind of does. You going to the Bean later? He's got his blue blockers on too. What a dork.
Starting point is 01:14:44 I'm not even going to say what you said. I hope that mic was off. Randy, you're disgusting. You going to the bean later? He's got his blue blockers on, too. What a dork. I'm not even going to say what you said. I hope that mic was off. You're disgusting. You're disgusting, Randy. You guys hear about Apple? No, actually. Apple to investigate iPhone manufacturer in India after workers vandalized plants in a protest over unpaid wages.
Starting point is 01:14:58 So guess what? I'm not the only person that has a problem with fucking Apple right now. They're not paying their workers? Guess not. What? I think if you really looked into what Apple's practices were with labor, you would be very disappointed.
Starting point is 01:15:10 Well, I know they don't pay taxes, which is... Well, you know how we were talking about Casey Affleck going to that plant in Mexico during Ocean's 13 and protesting with all those people? Out of solidarity, I'm going to India for the holidays and I'll be protesting with these people. You're not going to India for the holidays. Yes, I I am I don't think they're letting people in yep I'm gonna take my new iPhone I'm gonna throw it at him and say pay me for this bitch I get dreidel vibes from that
Starting point is 01:15:33 logo on your sweatshirt dude straight he's raised one menorah and now he's it is yeah dude I was with Micah when you raided his menorah why did Mike had put his menorah on a paper towel you see his shumash it was garbage I don't even know what a shumash is Micah Micah was you raided his menorah. Why did Micah put his menorah on a paper towel? You see his shoe mosh? It was garbage. I don't even know what a shoe mosh is. Micah was cracking up when he was doing this, though. His tree has different light settings, so they can light it up to be blue.
Starting point is 01:15:57 Okay. Yeah, he has colored lights, regular lights, and blue lights. He literally has all of the lights. We have some of those here, but because Randy asked for them, and now we don't even use them. So thanks for that, Randy. Randy, you freak show. Yeah, these people are just protesting.
Starting point is 01:16:13 I'm going to... Yeah, no. We talked about this last week. It was Apple that I believe had to have the nets installed around their building. I feel like if you're having to do that, something is fundamentally wrong with your business. Yeah, they exploit labor. Yeah. And sadly, to exist in American society, you have to have an iPhone.
Starting point is 01:16:37 Because otherwise you would get kicked out of group text. Yeah. And business is done in the group text. People know that. I'm in one right now with a guy. Samsung guy. It's like 12 of us. Our fantasy league. I play fantasy, bro. And it messes
Starting point is 01:16:52 everything up. Anytime someone sends a video, the video comes in all small and you can't enlarge it. It's like, what are you doing? Everything. It's like, dude, this sucks. We have a 10 person actually my fantasy football one, the 10 person group chat that just switched from green to blue because we finally shamed one guy into switching over.
Starting point is 01:17:08 Oh, was it Mitch? Yeah. Yeah. He's like, guess what, guys? Blue text now. And it was like a party in there. He hit us with the same thing. The best day ever.
Starting point is 01:17:16 That's kind of great. Yeah. You're unveiling just to your boys that you're a blue text boy. I like that. I like that a lot. Huge for the squad. Yeah. Fun episode.
Starting point is 01:17:24 Guys, we'll be back. We're not doing two Huge shoot for the squad. Yeah. Fun episode. Guys, we'll be back. We're not doing two Patreon episodes for the two Bachelor things. It just seems like overkill. I looked it up. Men Tell All Tonight? They're saying, this is how it's billed. It said Monday and Tuesday, Men Tell All and Hometowns. So I don't know if they're doing like, I think Men
Starting point is 01:17:39 Tell All is tonight. Okay. I'll be watching on YouTube TV. God, I hope it's tonight. Dude, that would be the only thing that could make me... I'm going to watch it either way, but... They truly tell all. Let's get out of here. Oh!
