All right.
We are back.
My name is Will DeFries to my left, David Ruff.
So it actually dawned on me about two minutes ago.
I'm not gonna let Brett's thirst for darkness
interrupt my circadian rhythm.
So yeah, we're gonna be turning on lights
in the bullpen going forward in 2025.
It's, today's an overcast day. It's cold, it's gloomy.
It's a classic winter day.
You get into the office, you're feeling good.
And it's just, there's no light on at all,
other than everybody's computer screen.
We're gonna turn some lights on.
Thank you.
Not saying every light,
but we're just gonna have some lights on.
So I don't wanna be that guy,
but I'm putting myself out there.
I've been kind of on one today.
I had to go across the street,
talk to the subs over there. Wanting lights in your work environment. We have subscribers next door.
Wanting lights in your work environment is not exactly um like a tall ask you know so I think
you're fine. It's pretty normal to want that. It's not a reach. Don't feel like a bad guy here. Yeah.
Look dude sometimes you got to be the bad guy. Okay. I had to go over there and be the bad guy here. Yeah. Look,
dude, sometimes you gotta be
the bad guy. Okay. I had to go
over there and be the bad guy
earlier. Dave, you were on one
this morning. They turned off
the water. They turned off our
water. There's some
contractors next door. We got
new people moving in. We have
contractors over there and
first of all, they're taking up
every parking spot in this
parking lot which isn't. And
some. And then some. With very large trucks. Secondly, they turn our water off.
And that was that was the last drop for Davey Boy.
Yeah, I mean, we got people not saying names.
People on Mondo watch.
I'm a bread.
No, I'm not saying names.
It might have been. He didn't say any names, but I'm just saying
there's people who have to do, you know people who are on PP watch, water watch,
Mondo watch, spit watch.
All things you would need water for.
Spit watch.
Get rinse down this thing.
Okay.
I don't know, I'm just, you asked, dude.
Why'd you double down?
I don't know, I just, okay.
All I'm saying is I'm the only one with the balls
to go over there.
Cause you know, those are my people over there.
I had a water blower construction.
You launched it ready to wreck y'all shit when you came in the office today and the balls to go over there. Cause you know, those are my people over there. I had a water balloon launcher ready to wreck y'all shit
when you came in the office today
and it just foiled my plans.
Really?
Why would you do that to us?
Like a one person?
Yeah, I was gonna tie it to like one of the beams in here
and just like launch them at y'all's ass.
There's nothing funnier than just launching a water balloon
and like it goes so high and so far,
you have no clue where it lands, but you're just imagining that it hit somebody.
It's high fiving.
Could hit a child.
We don't know.
Yeah, she was tight.
A three man launcher?
The problem.
Oh buddy.
Oh yeah.
Dude, Dave, can I put you onto something on this light front?
You let me put you onto something.
We got some we got some overhead lights over the bullpen
that we can toss on when we get out of here.
Oh, what?
How long have they been there?
Dude, literally since we moved in, I've been complaining about this for two years now.
Well, it's an issue. We have two different sets of lights. We have the entrance lights.
Don't say anything to Brett. Just turn him on.
No, dude. Dude, he'll throw a hissy fit.
He will.
He'll throw a hissy fit. But if it's one against four, he doesn't have. Just turn him on. No, dude. Dude, he'll throw a hissy fit. He will. He'll throw a hissy fit.
But if it's one against four, like he doesn't have much ground to stand on.
Nope. I am so glad that you guys have seen the light and you have come over to my side.
Well, we haven't seen the light. That's the problem.
Why are you trying to take credit for this?
It's true. It's true. This is Dave's move.
No, Randy's been on this hill for a minute.
I like the Dave turn on the lights challenge though.
I'm gonna stand up and turn on the lights.
Dave's done his bad boy shit today
between yelling at subcontractors
and turn on the lights, dude.
He can't be stopped.
I'm curious to see if he speaks up
when the lights go on.
Hey, what's going on?
Absolutely.
I've done it on accident
and it's immediate disgust on his face.
You mean it's just no?
Nope, nope, nope.
But he's not the boss of the light situation.
He's the lord of light.
He's kind of determined that for himself at this point.
He's had such a like a hard stance on it that we're just like, all right, I guess whatever,
but no, now I'm glad.
We're gonna strip his authority immediately.
Hey, we had a visitor today.
That was gonna use my intro on that, okay. Go go go talking about
Stance in your sock drawer
Yeah, they stand up they stand up on their own
Fucking homemade starch. Okay intro me Dylan chivalry. Thank you Very happy to be here starch manning over there our good friend Danny regs stopped by this morning
I didn't see him in a minute the regulator a like Dave said he is built like Mike All-Stars right now
The dude is just barrel chested and crazy thick his neck is covered up by his beard and traps. Yes
Secondly, I miss Dan's bullshit. Mm-hmm. Yeah, he's he's got a lot to talk about. He's very opinionated
He says some outlandish things and it's usually pretty funny.
And I miss that around the office.
You should hire him for a third time.
Probably not going to hire him right now.
We're making an offer, but it is nice having Danny regs mixing it up in the bullpen with
her voice.
Did it?
Did it distract anyone or like kind of?
Take away from any future segments that we might be doing? I'm curious because I want you guys to know that when
I run into Dan at the gym, that is exactly what happens. And I'll look down and it's
been 15 minutes and Dan and I have just been talking about, he'll tell me about how like
the Roman Empire stole something and like had the
original Epstein Island or something.
Yeah.
And you're like, Oh, that's interesting.
And you'll skip one of your, your planned workouts because you're running out of
time and heart rate gets down to baseline.
Yeah.
I'm talking.
Yeah.
He's been chopping it up with Dan.
Yeah.
Oh, I miss him.
That's all I'm saying.
Good guy.
Dan J bone.
Are we going to get the golf of America?
Can you just, can you just do that?
I don't know who has to sign off on that.
I don't know.
I've never signed off on maps before.
Like I've never gone down that route.
We've never had anything like near us renamed.
Like our president just decide
like what things are gonna be called?
Can we just change the names of shit as we want?
If that's the case, that could be pretty fun.
Can Austin go back to Waterloo?
Maybe.
It's a way cooler name.
It's a sick name.
Now we just sound like some dude.
Austin.
Waterloo.
Steven F.
You know, Istanbul used to be Constantinople.
Didn't know that.
Did Trump change the name?
Yeah, was that Trump, John?
No, that was not Trump.
That was, it might be Giants, John.
It's not much of a triangle, that'd be me to triangle.
Gulf of America?
Is that what he wants?
Yeah, it's hard.
That goes hard, dude.
Like, I don't know.
This is like the Americas, right?
I mean, it does like geographically.
It makes sense.
There would be America.
How about Gulf of the Americas?
That's too much.
Okay.
I don't know.
How about just the Gulf?
You gotta have it. Gotta have something with it. know. How about just
the golf? Alright, wolf. The
burner versus going to be just eating Gulf of America
oysters like crazy. I don't
mind a Gulf oyster. It's like
when freedom fries dropped. Yeah. I still order freedom fries.
That's coming back for sure.
Why do we beef with France again?
They, for some crazy reason,
they didn't wanna participate in the Iraq war.
So we just pivoted.
So we're like, all right, well, how about this?
You know that shit you guys do?
You know those fries?
We're not gonna call Frenchy much, freedom fries.
Guess what, bud?
That really stung, I bet, when that happened.
No, they were like, huh, huh, huh. Don't, do on that when that happened. No, they were like, don't do that.
They're like, all right.
I lost vacation for three months.
I'm chilling.
The UK just calls them chips, man.
That was different.
Yeah.
Yeah.
If I've learned, if I do an impersonation for too long,
it eventually turns into something else.
Yeah.
I don't know.
That went Eastern Europe on us real quick,
which is interesting, ironic.

but we do have a loaded rundown today.

Noco, what's what's the going on with this dude? I don't like this at all Do you feel like this is a personal shot from him at you? Why is my dog doing this to?
Glizzy's you want to know the base theory?
Yeah
He got a hold of the Yucca app.
He saw what was in these dogs and was like,
mm, no.
He got on that secret Kim Jong wifi.
He said, nah fam.
Yeah. Whoa.
Yeah, he's got an iPhone, right?
He's the only one with the Yucca app over there.
Are they allowed to have phones?
They were calling me Kevin Yucca. Yes. Okay. So Kevin. Are they allowed to have phones? They're calling me Kevin Eucliffe.
Yes.
Okay.
Kevin.
Are they allowed to have phones?
Try it again later.
Like just a random, just North Korean off the street?
I don't think so, man.
How do they communicate?
They have to have phones.
Yeah, but it's only Primeco phones.
They don't have internet.
They had to switch from Motorola.
Oh, shit.
Okay. But all I can do is call and text? They don't have internet. They had to switch from Motorola. Oh shit, okay.
But all I can do is call and text.
Play Snake.
Safari is disabled.
North Korean mobile phones use a digital signature system
to prevent access to unsanctioned files
and log usage information that can be physically inspected.
They have map apps.
69% of households as of 2017 had a mobile phone.
So that's not that crazy.
Do you think this is like,
he saw Elgiz Adente rising in the polls
and he was like, all right, I gotta be. I gotta pull out my big swinging D.
Sean, what's up?
That stinks for those folks over there, man.
What are they gonna do with baseball games and stuff?
Well.
There's other things to eat.
Based on the hot dog I had at the Japanese baseball game,
they're not missing much.
Worst hot dog I've ever had in my life.
Why was it bad?
It just tasted terrible.
The bun wasn't like an actual bun.
It was like, felt more like a roll.
And also like the quality of meat was just terrible.
It was like, ugh.
I wonder what kind of meat it was.
I don't know.
It was not good.
It wasn't all beef.
Not that our dogs are, you know, high quality meat.
I'm just wondering. Might've been Wagyu. Definitely wasn't all beef. I'll tell you that. Not that our dogs are, you know, high quality meat. I'm just wondering. Might have been wagyu.
Definitely wasn't.
Oh, okay. This is messed up, man. Those folks, they don't have much over here. At least let them eat dogs.
Right, Dave? Sure.
Other things banned according to this tweet. I don't know how accurate this is.
Jeans, leather jackets, microwaves microwaves bibles designer shoes sports
cars weed iPhones slang porn k-pop and YouTube Oh Jean loved YouTube a lot of
those things are good I could get some microwaves you can't whip around a
sports car you can't skrt around North Korea Pyongyang
Driving all slow and shit dude imagine being there not being able to whip that bish
Can you imagine can you imagine well
No, dude for the amount of time that I spend in jeans a leather jacket driving my sports car Like I just don't think moving to North Korea is in the car
Can you sit sideways over there for like the first eight years we knew will he didn't I don't even moving to North Korea is in the cars. Can you sit sideways over there? For like the first eight years we knew Will,
he didn't, I don't even know if he owned jeans.
The last year, Will's been jeans guy.
Oh yeah, you weren't a jeans guy.
Yeah, I closed out Q3 and Q4 2024 with some Jean Johns.
I noticed you've been going top shelf a lot lately.
Dude, I was cold in the stew earlier,
so I just went top shelf on him today for no reason.
You don't see that.
I haven't been doing that that often to be honest
So you can't use slang word slang terms over there. No, dude
No skibbity. That's facts
That's fucked up man. Yeah, I do not risen up somebody. He's gotta be capping on this, right?
Kpop is banned because it's a South Korea thing. They're like fuck that shit. Don't let that culture seep into ours
I'm surprised like other music isn't banned.
You can only listen to Slipknot.
Their parties must suck.
Can't pass a doobie around.
Do they even know what they're missing over there?
I think they might.
I think they might have an inkling,
but I don't think they have much say.
They have an inkling?
Imagine not being in a party or not being able to go to a party and rip a Michael McDonald.
Yeah, like other countries, they just have it better than we do.
So if Dylan Schivert is living in North Korea, the hot dog ban comes down.
Right.
Near doomsday prepping, how many hot dogs do you need to sustain for like the rest of your life?
Ooh, 12 a day times however many days.
So that's a lot.
It's a lot of dogs.
Here's my impression of Dylan
when he finally gets to visit North Korea.
It's like 4.30 PM, no, 5.30 PM.
He eats dinner around 5.30.
Looks at the menu, shuts it and just goes,
hungry.
Okay.
Okay, I don't know if you're,
I didn't know you're gonna take it that route, but.
There's nothing you can eat.
Yeah.
Well.
Can I do my impression?
I do eat things that are not hot dogs, to be fair.
Shut up.
Dude, let me do my impression.
All right, I'm gonna also be opening the menu.
And this is me in north korea still
where are all the hot dogs
yeah that's really good it's an act of treason if you do it
it says what's that punishable by death spanking death spank no you don't get killed for treats in there. Do you I bet you do dude?
I bet you do for all kinds of shit. Oh, yeah
Yeah, can you imagine being North Korean soldier?
Going over to Russia finding a find the hub coming home figure out that hot dogs are banned
No, I can't really imagine right yeah, yeah. That's kind of what we're talking about.
But put yourself in that scenario.
What do they have against leather jackets and jeans?
It's too Western.
Too Westernized.
Fonzie.
So, oh man.
Jeans are dope, man.
He saw the Born in the USA album cover and was like, this hits too hard.
This could affect our entire economy.
Yeah.
Wow.
Wasn't that how the Soviet Union fell?
Like they got jeans in Prague.
And it was like, oh, Lord fuck now.
May as well tear down this wall.
Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall.
Put on those jeans, I-
It's a good Reagan.
That's not. I didn't know you had a
Reagan. Yeah, yeah. Dylan, have a hot dog. All right. Yes, sir. Yes, sir, Mr. President. I think
I've given enough today. I'm out. Well, that's too bad, man. You want to pour one out? Pour a
hule out for all the hot dogs out there. I think we confronted this last year.
Yes.
But my dream scenarios come back. 38 people have been stranded
in a pub in Northern England due to snow. The big issue here for
them is that they've unfortunately run out of
sausages.
North Korea?
Dude, straight up North Korea
and Northern England right now.
One guy said, we've run out of sausages, it's atrocious.
No more pork sausages, no more English breakfast, gutted.
No more bangers and mash?
Can you imagine, can you imagine just the labs
just chilling out,
drinking some absolute creamers at Kelly's Irish Pub.
Starts to snow outside and we're like,
oh man, that's so beautiful.
And suddenly we realized we're snowed in,
we can't leave Kelly's Irish Pub for days.
That's a vibe.
Like I'd be low key so happy for the first like 24 hours.
God, dude.
How many creamers would you take down?
There's no limit to the creamers that I would put down.
I'd be living off creamers.
There's just so many creamers.
They'd be calling me Edward the way I was snowed in.
With everyone snowed in, why would they just be calling you Edward?
Because I'm like different about it.
It brings out the best in me.
That'd be fun for a little bit, but then it's like, all right, Okay, brings out the best of me
That'd be fun for a little bit then it's like I mean, I I just kind of want to go home. I'm really drunk But I'm already hungover. You gotta nap it off in the booth, dude
Guinness is the the beer that if you had like you knew you had 48 hours and all you had your caloric intake is gonna
Be nothing but beer. It's Guinness, right?
You don't want like a light beer.
Why not?
Just feel like you get more, just stout.
You think it hits the gut a little heavier?
Yeah.
Maybe.
I was gonna say satiates you.
Sure.
There's 40 people stranded, 30, or I guess 38,
32 customers and six staff.
Are you getting paid overtime if you're one of the six staff members?
I would hope so.
Or is that one of those situations where you'd like, you pretty much
just live there anyway?
It's like at the highest point in England, apparently.
I want to get stranded, dude.
Let me get stranded.
You like an English breakfast?
I like the novelty of it if I'm in a situation where it's offered, but like it's so much
meat.
I had a full Irish breakfast when I was in Amsterdam.
There's not much of a difference there.
Is that just a pint?
They don't do the pudding.
Black pudding.
But they do beans and ham and egg.
I forgot what else.
When we were flying out of Italy,
I did two English breakfasts in one day.
You don't need to do that.
I'm different, dude.
I'm so different.
What's that pudding made of?
Like intestines, I think.
Facts?
Facts.
Okay.
Nobody knows what's on the pudding
Come on man Cosby
What you're doing Cosby?
I don't think I've ever had that pudding black pudding is made from animal blood usually pork along with fat
Cereal and spices the sausage is then stuffed into a casing boiled fried and grilled or grilled
I've had it.
It's a weird consistency,
but I actually think the flavor's kind of dope.
Okay.
And that's like facts.
Big facts?
Like on God.
For real, for real.
God, take me back to Amsterdam.
An English breakfast will set you up
for a day of walking though.
If you got to walk about 15,000 steps that day
Sign me up. I started one of my walking journeys with an Irish breakfast. It's hearty
Yeah, were you with 35 other people no, I was flying solo through them streets man
He was in them streets. Yeah
Can you just hold it down? Can you do another Bill Cosby impression? I don't know if they want the
we forgot to put something in the rundown. When you got to
put it in the rundown. When are we going to do it? That's
Harry Carey. Don't **** worry about it, dude. Alright, sorry
man. I started asking a question about the content of
this episode but I guess we'll move on. What are you even
talking about? Randy, what's the, what's it?
We got a real or fake app or segment coming up, you dumb bitch.
Do you think like anyone's got a hold of the touch tunes and just won't give it up?
Someone's just dropping loads of cash.
Oh, chill out. Chill out.
They say loads over there to mean a lot. Will knows.
Are you guys going to watch Love Island All Stars starting soon?
No.
Come on.
Is Maya involved?
Yeah.
Okay, then maybe.
She's hosting.
Okay.
I think we got some absolute hitters going on this season.
Who's she been linked to?
A Manchester City player.
Is he good?
Oh no.
Yeah, they're all good.
Yeah, but like-
It's worst case scenario.
I told Sally, the second I discovered it,
I told Sally, I was like,
this is worst case scenario for me.
She's dating a Manchester City player.
She's my hall pass.
And I told Sally,
I'm officially rescinding my hall pass from my jamma.
It's not Charlie Hall?
Or maybe it is now.
No, no.
Don't try to put some sort of hall pass on me.
That's something you gotta just figure out.
It's actually not cool.
Yeah, dude.
Why are you trying to force me to have sex
with beautiful celebrities?
I'm sorry.
Honestly, kind of weird, man.
I won't do that anymore.
Yeah, so Maya Jama, if you're listening,
sorry, can't have this.
Damn, she's devastating.
You're not ready for this, Jelly Maya.
She's like, I could have had that bad boy podcaster,
social media guy from America.
I was hoping she would get linked up
with an American athlete.
Well, that'd be so sick.
Just to kind of, I don't know.
Like Arch or something?
No, not Arch, she's like 18.
That would be wild.
If anyone could pull that off, it's Arch though.
I don't know.
I mean, he looks great.
She would go crazy for those polos and khaki shorts that he wears all the time.
What did she just start dating like?
Is he in the burner verse?
Yeah she starts dating a Fiji.
Just some guy.
He runs the damn ball.
He does run the damn ball.
He's not shrinking the game though.
That's the opposite.
He's blown shrinking the game though. That's the opposite. He's blown that up.
What if she was dating like Chalamet?
He's dating one of the Jenner's?
Kind of under the radar, if I'm being honest.
Yeah, I forgot that they were together until they were at the Globes together.
That means that says a lot about his little press tour he did.
He didn't have to rely on the Kardashians to promote it. the globes together. That means that's, that's, says a lot about his little press tour he did.
He didn't have to rely on the Kardashians to promote it. I feel like he's going to cut that off here
in about six weeks.
No man, I think it's real.
He's getting a lot of love from the Twitterverse.
Maybe even the Burniverse.
I don't know.
I'll air to Will on that.
How many collars has Shalom may been wearing
on this press tour?
Probably not enough.
Probably not enough.
He's a ball knower.
Certified.
I heard he's picking Ohio State this weekend.
Well, most are.
Yeah, most people are, including me, actually.
God, oh ye of little faith. I'm also like
not getting my hopes up. I want an easy let down. It's a hedge. You know what I mean?
It is an emotional hedge a bit. Sure. Don't let it get you down, man. 3427 horns. Let's
go. Wow. Okay. We love that. Is that the
official locked in pick Dave? Yeah, I don't know. You know, I
got 2821. Okay. Buckeyes. Unfortunately. Can I speak to
all of our motivated backers out there? Yes. It's new year, new you.
It's time to take your dreams and make them a reality.
It's time to start that side hustle you've been thinking about.
It's time to do it.
Get off that key story of yours.
Start grinding.
Shopify can change all of that.
Like I said, it's new year.
You're thinking, how am I going to make this year any different?
How am I going to build something for myself?
I'm dying to be my own boss or see if I can turn this business idea I've had into a reality.
But I don't know how to make that happen.
But Shopify is how you're going to make it happen.
Let me tell you how.
The best time to start a new business is right now.
Shopify makes it simple to create your brand, open for business and get your first sale.
Get your store up and running easily with thousands of customizable templates, no coding
or design skills required.
All you need to do is drag and drop, my friend.
Drop it like it's hot.
Drop it like it's hot, Dillon.
Drop it like it's hot.
If you've bought something from the wash media store, I just hope you know that you're getting
it from a Shopify website.
We're very familiar with the backend of Shopify.
We spend a lot of time tinkering around, hanging out, fulfilling orders.
It's made our lives very easy.
What were you saying?
Catch me back there, I'm sorry.
Dude, you've been back there.
You stay back there.
They've got it all for you.
You can make a full fledged website
without any coding skill at all.
I don't have any.
Dylan can even fulfill orders and stuff.
It's pretty amazing stuff.
Yeah, you didn't have to type.
They have a hunt and peck plug in.
Ah, man.
I'm just, I'm just playing.
With Shopify, your first sale is closer than you think.

We turning the lights down low?
No.
No, the exact opposite.
That's what Dave and I are trying to do.
Oh yeah, sorry.
I didn't mean to come at your neck there, Dave.
That's okay. Dylan, please take it away. Yeah, we have a real or fake segment for
the boys here. It's not about pre-workouts this time. This real or fake is country music artist
names. Young ones. Ones that you may or may not know.
Shout out to young ones. Hopefully you don't. Yeah, so how does real or fake work? You're probably asking yourself if you're new here.
I'm going to read off some names of some young country music artists and these guys, Will and Dave, are going to decide if these are real or fake people. This is a good one because these names tend to be
a little hokey and generic and corny.
And you get it, right?
I think you get it.
And Randy's gonna keep score.
Can I ask a question?
No.
To everybody in the room,
how has your all goes been since the country segment
on Monday?
I haven't changed actually.
Fuck you.
I think a dude on Twitter
jacked our segment for a viral tweet thread. Yeah, there was a lot of the Monday segment in there.
The crossover in the order of his viral tweet thread indicated that he might have listened to
an episode of Circling Back. If you're listening, sir or ma'am
with the burner, let us know. What Randy?
I know Dave is specifically asking this because I DM'd him either this morning or last night saying,
Dave, it's every five videos now.
I can't get away from it.
And also it opened it up to every backer sending us new ones.
A number of backers have reached out saying that their algorithm has somehow just been ruined.
So whenever a backer sends me one, I just immediately send it to Dave.
I think we're in a good position
to get these real or fakes right.
I really think so.
Hat tip to listener, Taylor Buford,
for giving me the idea here.
T-Buf?
Yeah, T-Buf.
I didn't know Butte Dogg had his hands on this.
Yeah, real.
He DM'd me and he said,
here's a list of some real ones,
you should do a real or fake.
And I said, this is a good start, buddy, thank you.
That's what I said to him.
Dude, I haven't been to Buford's in a minute. Are you guys ready to play real or fake and I said this is a good start buddy thank you that's what I said to him dude I've been to Buford's in a minute are you guys ready to play real or
fake bro imagine getting stranded and like at Buford's like it's snowed in and
they ran out of sausages dude but all the pop all the pop a shot you can play
dude remember that Tommy got stranded at Buford's when I just fucking I was
taking fucking porn star shots all night. What's a porn star shot?
What's a porn star shot?
I don't even fucking remember.
It's gotta be a thing.
Okay.
We used to play a game after college
where we would just invent names of drinks and shots
and just go to the bartender and just say it
just to see if they would just whip something up.
And sometimes they would.
That's funny.
We'd be like, oh yeah,
could we get like a Mississippi mudflap?
And they'd be like, mm.
That's a good name actually.
Yeah, we would just make shit up and some of them just go with it.
They don't even ask.
It's great.
Dude, obviously porn stars are obviously blue curacao and Chambord.
In what?
Chambord, dude.
I have no idea what that is.
Dude, my parents wouldn't let me drink it for years.
Okay. Dave, you still do this. You go up and order Dave's. That's a great point.
All right it is time to play real or fake country artist names. Are you guys ready? Yeah. Dave that's
a question that applies for you as well. Are you ready? Okay first one one Buck Ford Buck
Ford. Is this a real or fake
country music artist? I think I
know that this is real. It just
feels real. It does feel real.
You're both saying I'm going

chart at Georgia. Buck Buck Buck Ford is a real is
a real country. We get a little
song. I don't have songs ready.
How many? How many? I want to

Buckford has 2,681 monthly listeners.
Not bad.
Not great.
His favorite song of mine is I Miss My Truck.
He moved to New York City.
He didn't want to pay congestion.
It's probably here.

If he wants to come get it.
There's a really good chance.
All right.

Martina's nephew.
Clint Black and Martina McBride had a love child.

He's got a song called Young Wild Free. Is that a cover of the Wiz Khalifa song?
Bruno Mars.
He's got one called Tennessee Sunset.

Would you say, well, he said, fake. This is the first time they disagreed.
It is fake. Oh, well, it goes out. It is fake.
Sorry, bitch. All right. Moving along.
Waylon Wyatt is Waylon Wyatt.
Is Waylon Wyatt a real or fake country music artist? The rounds that my brain is taking here is that like, okay,
a dude named his kid after Waylon Jennings,
loves country music, his kid grew up and whatever,
wanted to become a country artist slash influencer,
so he knows it works.
The other part of me is just like Dylan
knows what he's doing here Waylon Wyatt I'm gonna go real oh god this is fake
please be fake Waylon Wyatt is a real country music
cast okay let's do two more hold on wait hold on I need to see what Waylon Wyatt is a real country music cast. Let's do two more. Hold on, hold on.
I need to see what Waylon Wyatt's all about.
2.7 million listeners.
Top song on Spotify, listens wise,
it's called Arkansas Diamond.
He's playing the festival in Georgetown.
We gotta go see him.
He's coming to G-Town?
He's going to the G-Town get down, baby.
Yeah.
What's that festival called?
Scoot.
We gotta go to that. What's the Georgetown Festival, Randy? You
don't know that on the top of your head, you asshole. I would
Randy. It's just Randy coated. Oh, that is. Two step in. Didn't
you go to some ****? Yeah, dude. We got Alan Jackson and
Miranda Lambert on Saturday and then on Sunday, Sturgill and
Leonard Skinner, which I've been told is just like one
remaining member.
Oh really? Yeah.
But they got Ryan Bingham and Nelly also playing on Sunday.
I believe Will is up by two.
Yep.
Sorry.
Can I hammer?
You can hammer, dude.
All right.
Dude, hammer.
This one's worth two, right?
Is that what you're saying?
We don't have to do that.
No, you can hammer.
Colt Boone, B-O-O-N-E.
Colt Boone. Is thisO-O-N-E. Colt Boone.
Is this a real or fake country music artist?
I'm going real.
Fake.
It's fake.
Ooh.
It's all bad.
So we did two, I got enough for six more,
but that's too many.
Is this two or one more?
Two more.
It's a one score game?
Two more unless there's a tie.
Unless there's a tie. Unless there's a tie.
Okay. And then we'll just, Randy will think of a number. He'll have a great tiebreaker for us.
That was a good tiebreaker. You lost, bitch. I did lose. Walker Montgomery.
Walker Montgomery. Is this a real or fake country music artist?
I say real. Fuck, I was gonna go real too. You're allowed to do that. I'm gonna go real too for now.
Walker Montgomery is a real country music artist. All right, let's have Will go first this next one
so that Dave can, if he wants to go against him, he can. Okay. Walker Montgomery, uh, 215,000 monthly listeners.
Oh, fuck.
He's got, I love the way you love me,
leave your leaving behind, bad day to be a beer.
Sick.
Dude.
Fuck yeah.
That rules.
Those are written by AI for sure.
No, that freaking rules.
This song is sad, it's called Lonely for a Living.
Damn. There's good money in that.
He's also got my hometown's fault. Can't blame the skeletons you have in your closet on your hometown.
Hudson Westbrook. Come on. Huddy? Hudson Westbrook. This is the last one. I am going fake.
This is the last one. I am going fake.
Why? I obviously will be going real.
Hudson Westbrook is a real country musical.
Come back for Davey.
Is this Tide? Wait a minute.
No, Dave just won.
Oh, is this the blonde kid?
Yep. I know this.
Oh, he looks like Brett.
He's from Fort Worth, I think.
Oh, that's the guy. Looks like Brett.
I've seen this kid.
I think he's a local
I mean, he's got 2.8 million monthly listeners. Yeah, he went to
Texas tech Dylan. Of course he did that makes a lot of sense. He's got square toed boots for sure
Yeah
Dave's our winner. Who else do you have on there? Give us some real one Dylan Carmichael. Okay
Spelled my way and then I have three fake ones left. I have Hay real one, Dylan Carmichael. Okay. Spelled my way.
And then I have three fake ones left.
I have Hayden Brooks, Rusty Jenkins, and Tanner Clay.
Tanner Clay is kinda good.
Tanner Clay would have been good.
Yeah.
I almost went with that one.
Did I sneakily name my second son?
Instagram country artist name?
Sam Walker Ruff.
Walker Ruff.
Yeah, maybe. Sam Walker Ruff. Walker Ruff. Yeah, maybe.
Sam Walker.
I honestly, every time I,
it doesn't shock me when I think about his full name,
but I don't think about that his middle name's
Walker very often.
And then I'm like, oh yeah, we named him Walker.
His middle name.
It's kind of, it's tight.
Strong name.
I just forgot about that.
Sometimes I, yeah, Fritz's middle name is Fritz,
but I always forget that Charlie's middle name is what it is.
What's Charlie's middle name?
Lyle.
Oh yeah.
I'm like, oh yeah, we call him Lyle.
It's chill as the name.
That is chill.
I hope you guys had fun, because I sure did.
I had fun.
I had fun.
Did you have fun, Randy?
Did you have fun?
Is he walking yet, Sam?
We're getting there.
No, so it's kind of a liar of a name.
Okay.
Okay.
You have fun last night, Dave, watching your TGL, your little cyber golf tournament.
Hold on.
Cyber.
You're a little, I'm just kidding.
You mean the tomorrow golf league and not the golf league or?
It's called tomorrow golf league.
Yeah, we had that way wrong.
That's bad.
Hey, so the pin location changes,
but the green doesn't, right?
Yeah, the green adjusts.
The green, oh.
Bro, it undulates.
Really?
Fuck, dude, it's sick.
I didn't realize that.
Yeah.
I thought it looked the same every time I looked at it.
Look closer.
Why didn't they show it changing more? Made me
wonder if it wasn't changing that much. I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it did. Those guys will
figure out that green pretty quickly if it doesn't move. Yeah, Wyndham Clark fucking...
Yeah. They're not Wyndham Clark. I saw him drop one from pretty deep.
Aberg? Yeah, he fucking dropped one first hole and I was like, yeah, these guys haven't figured out. Were y'all aware how good looking Aberg is?
Yeah. But did you know that he had like, it's a thing where people are like, oh yeah, this dude's
hot. He's very hot and very European looking. He kind of has a Brady look to him.
Yeah. He's the Brady face. Beautiful swing too.
What were your preconceived notions going into TGL?
There's a lot of power players behind it. Tiger Rory being two of them. Um, there's a lot of money in this.
This is they've got ESPN prime time programming. They've got
the slot. They've got the network. This isn't something
you have to go like pay for peacock or some shit. They got the van Pelt treatment. They got van Pelt. And despite the fact
that like at first glance, it's easy to poo poo. I was like, I'm going to give it a chance. It could
be fun. And I think it delivered. I'm giving it a thumbs up. Couple of things I did not realize.
I think it delivered. I'm giving it a thumbs up.
Couple things I did not realize.
A, that the green would be shifty.
Like undulating, dude.
Yeah, it changes.
You say undulating?
Pin location changes, the undulations change.
There you go.
The second thing I didn't realize is they were hitting off
of real grass.
I feel like that's a requirement in this case.
Yeah.
Like I know it's probably annoying for them to deal with,
but like you have to do it.
I watched about a half hour of it last night
and the product was better than I was expecting for sure.
For the golf, okay, just putting,
I'm just spit balling here.
No judgments, just putting things out there.
To the critics of like the live format,
I know that live is trying to be like a rival tour.
So it has more responsibility to the game of golf.
Like this is not that much different
from some like weird shift like live to me
to the point where like,
it makes me like the idea of live more,
the format at least.
But it doesn't have Saudi money behind it.
Correct.
Just has tiger money, Nike money.
I guess he doesn't have Nike money.
So far they made, yeah.
KPMG.
No mistake who sponsored that event.
Very clear that there was.
That was on everything.
But like people were loving the pace of it last night.
And I hate to say it, but like as someone who's watched some live on like YouTube,
like the pace of shots getting hit on YouTube for live stuff is like not bad.
That was one of my biggest, and I knew it was going to be like this.
It wasn't a shocker, but it was quite enjoyable.
And I can imagine somebody who doesn't have time or doesn't really watch golf just
for a number of reasons. Like a hit a shot, watch it the whole way. Boom. Next person
comes up, alternate shot. Boom. Does it. And like, you know, in two minutes you just saw
two shots start to finish, whatever. But also the fact that you can watch it and you get
to watch the players reaction, um, see where it lands, see their reaction.
Um, there's still some things to work out, but for the first, first, uh, one
of these, I thought it went off way better than it should have.
Is this the only TGL venue that there is?
Yes.
Okay.
I believe so.
That looks crazy expensive.
It's a five story simulator screen. Have you chosen a team? I haven so. That thing looks crazy expensive. It's a five story simulator screen.
Have you chosen a team?
I haven't.
We got the Atlanta Drive with Justin Thomas,
absolute sweat boy, Lucas Glover.
How did they form these teams?
I think they just squatted up and had a conversation.
They got the Boston Common Golf, got Rory Keegan,
Adam Scott, Jupiter Lynx.
It's Tiger's team.
He got Homa and Tom Kim.
Even got Kisner on there.
Don't tell Brett.
So the only Southern representation, we got Florida and Atlanta.
We don't have like, how is there not a Texas team?
Yeah, give us a team.
I mean, I wanted to like the Bay golf stuff
because I thought the logo was kind of a vibe,
but like, I just don't know if I can cheer
for like Wyndham Clark.
That's very fair.
But Shane Lowry.
Yeah.
Shane Lowry kind of cancels him out, I think.
I like Oberg too.
Oberg, yeah.
I don't know how to say his name.
I said Aberg, it's definitely Oberg.
I'm gonna be straight up. Oh, Berg.
Some some low points. We obviously we got a little bit too much. DJ Khaled, which some would say any is too much. I
turned it off by that point. They interviewed him for maybe a
little too long. His answers to some of the questions were just
I was like, he's just talking. Did he say he's not he's not answering questions did he say this did
he say another one he didn't know he somehow didn't he said golf is
challenging and so his life a team get gains a point you don't say another one
one time okay don't say gains a point yeah stop scores a point making us some
fucking lame I don't know I mean they get it's a point system. There's just something about it.
Sorry. Jupiter Lynx has a dope logo though. Am I gonna have to just pull for the
Cats team? The Bay Golf Club logo is sick. I wish there was more of a tie for
these people to where the teams are from. Like I wish there was just a straight
up European team. I was thinking that last night that geographically,
geographic teams would be dope.
I do like that they have cities though.
Yeah, I do too.
It's better as opposed to live,
but it's just like the ACEs or some shit like who cares.
The teams for TGL are cooler than the teams for live.
Cause it makes you want to get behind them more.
A little bit, a little bit,
but there's no team that has like four guys that I'm like really into.
So I got to deal with someone I dislike on each team, which is just tough for me.
Yeah.
Like LA Golf Club.
First of all, Logo stinks, but they've got, I like their logo.
They've got Sahith and they got Tommy.
Love that.
Ah, Rose and Murakawa.
I don't know dude come on
Rose I like Rose dude I'm a Rose I'm a Rose supporter I like I like that he's
filled the generic absolutely sponsored out Phil Mickelson role that's a good
point just rocking that Morgan Stanley dude he loves that Morgan Stanley
Jupiter links logo is sick that's my first time seeing it So how often are these gonna be put on?
Is it like weekly like I need cuz like I was kind of surprised when I got two teams last night one match
And it was an absolute
What you got buddy? We got we got one weekly. Oh, yeah, buddy. Yeah all the way through. Oh
Damn, it's your March. You're not kidding here
They're not kidding Did. They're not kidding.
Did you like the tricked up holes on the simulator?
Like you had one with lava.
That's fun.
I don't know.
It's a Pete Dye design.
Is it too much?
Which I famously don't play.
Is it too much?
It's a little much, but it's, dude, look,
it's simulator golf.
Did any of the guys
go 3100? No no. Ricky Ricky had a tough time though. The thing was over it was like 6-0 so they
played nine nine holes all shot and then the last six are excuse me um singles and by the time you
got me the thing was over. Do they need more people?
Was the crowd big enough the crowd was very much a
Vest and all birds crowd. Yeah, what I'm saying is saw your all birds tweet. Yeah very much
You know corporate, you know, your your dad's a CFO and he caught you a couple passes, which is fine, but I need a little bit more.
I want Texas fans throwing bottles on the field.
Yeah.
I want like a little bit more rowdy.
I want English soccer songs.
Dude, how fucking sick would it be if like Sheffler, Spieth?
What other Texas golfers?
I guess we need to throw in some lower guys.
Johnny Vegas. Oh, Tom Hoagy. He went to Texas, I don't know guys. Johnny Vegas. Tom Hoagie. You know, taxes. I don't know
where he's from. Tom Hoagie.
Anthony can stop. Why?
Wait, what do you mean?
Tom Hoagie is a boner.
He's your boy. He's not my boy.
He's Dan. You say he's a
mouth breathing dork.
That was really mean.
Don't share people who mouth breathe.
They can't help that.
The dork. He's a nice guy.
He gave us nothing.
Well, you know what? We interviewed him
for those who don't know. You didn't want to do Fred nurse jokes. We interviewed him and he was,
he just gave us like one word. Maybe it was just one of those days. One word responses.
Just no personality. He tried to skin my ass raw. He also had to follow Bryson. We got to interview
Bryson first and he was elected. Here's why I give Tom Hogan a pass after all, retroactive.
It was all that we had to interview all the rookies at the players championship and they're
all like just sitting out there and they had all this media.
There's some media out there that was bad.
We were, we were at least like I, in my book, we were funny.
There was some media out there doing some terrible bits and we got, we were like, what
the fuck?
How do these people get out of here?
And he's a rookie on tour, doesn't know.
And like, he's just, I think that he was media savvy enough
to not want to say the same thing.
And we came out of the gate hot with some like,
hey, we're in Jacksonville, Limp Biz gets from here,
doing that kind of shit.
He's like, I don't really know.
I don't want to fuck with this.
KT, Tway, and what's the other one?
They're boys.
Kelly Craft.
They love us.
Cause those guys fucking rule.
Those guys were fucking awesome. Kelly Craft still follows me by the way. They would have drank a beer if we offered it to them. one, they're boys? Kelly Craft. They love us. Well, cause those guys fucking rule. Those guys were fucking awesome.
Kelly Craft still follows me by the way.
They would have drank a beer if we offered it to them.
Yeah, they were great.
Sometimes I'll post a story on the gram
and I'll just, you know, me being ego guy,
I wanna see who like looked at it.
And I'll see Kelly Craft and I'm like, oh hell yeah.
Shout out to Kelly Craft, former SMU, great.
Yeah, look, all in all, this was great.
He follows you too, Dave.
Not Will, though.
He used to follow me.
Think I follow him.
I think he unfollowed you, man.
I don't follow him.
Sorry, Kelly.
It was fine.
For me, I was happy with the product.
I just don't know if it's going to be like
appointment television for me moving forward.
Whereas like Sunday of a tournament I'm watching.
I think it's, it was fun.
I think it's going to have a viewership.
It's going to be almost a little bit.
I don't know if it has like long-term staying power though.
That's my concern.
I think I'd be way more invested if they just
completely segmented out the teams
and they were just like,
actually geographically.
I think that'd make it just a little more fun
to really behind people.
Find the best players from your state.
I think it definitely has staying power.
I do too.
Because I'm not saying that there was
any money tipping the scale here,
but golf Twitter is notoriously difficult to crack and very, very look, I'm I consider
myself a one foot in golf Twitter guy.
We complain about a lot of stuff.
Widely applauded across golf Twitter.
Now there's some people that just are purists like get this fucking
Yeah, I get it. But you had a lot of people being like, you know what, this is cool. To
somebody who doesn't watch a lot of golf, it's like you can get you get you get to know
the personalities a little bit more. Hopefully, look, last night wasn't close. When you get
something close, it's going to be a lot There's probably some young guys who just want to hang out with Tiger for a little bit. Like, I'll do this fucking league. I get to hang out with Tiger in the back in LA.
Sick.
Think they should, what?
Go ahead.
There was like a golf simulator
that you could throw snowballs at.
It's gonna segue.
We need to get Bret in here.
Randy, can you toss up the photo
that's been going viral lately?
Yes.
TGL needs Dude Perfect to throw a vortex.
I can't.
Yeah, so DC got a bunch of snow.
This guy's bare-handed too.
And there was an impromptu snowball fight, a big one.
Was this at a protest?
Because this is outside of the... and I'm prompt to a snowball fight, a big one. Was this at a protest?
Because this is outside of the,
this is the day they were certifying the election.
Meridian Hill Park is where it took place.
And I believe this is,
unless I was just reading some fake news,
which is possible.
These don't look like people who are
like at a political event.
Like January 6th?
Yeah, these look like people who are just wanting
to fucking throw snowballs at other people.
They're calling it the great Meridian chill battle for 2025.
That's not gonna get any better than that, man.
I've been in some chill battles.
All right, so what happened at this event?
I'm not gonna sit here and shame someone for throwing a snowball improperly.
That's just not how I'm built.
That's not who I am.
That's not how I want to live my life.
So the tweet that's getting, the tweet we have up is getting some exposure.
They posted four pictures from the event, which is people throwing snowballs.
And the second image is a guy throwing a snowball,
as Dave said, no glove on,
and his throwing form mechanics leave a lot to be desired.
He's giving NARP.
It's almost shot putty.
Come on.
It's bad.
Come on.
It's bad.
This guy didn't play baseball growing up,
I promise you that.
You could tell his weight's not distributed properly.
Can I say something? If this snowball hits you, his weight's not distributed properly. Can I say something?
If this snowball hits you, you're barely gonna feel it.
Can I say something?
Look around at this crowd.
Look around at the people in this crowd.
My dude in the back?
If he's winding back and trying to throw
a four-seam fastball at some nice girl
in a fake fur hood.
Hold on, the guy behind him might even be worse.
Look at the leg.
He's about to pitch that.
His form is also terrible.
He also needs headwear.
Yeah, he's got, his ears are cold, I know that.
Some people just don't throw that much, you know?
And when they get the opportunity to,
it's just been a while.
What do you mean?
Dude, sometimes it's just been a while.
Did y'all know that we work with somebody
who when he was younger, like had to like see himself
out of a number of snowball fights because
he simply threw too hard.
He got suspension or something like that for throwing a mud ball at someone.
Can we just bring him in here?
I missed this conversation.
Go get Brett.
Yeah, you were at lunch, I think.
It's our new segment, Irrational Confidence Guy.
Brett's about to be like, okay.
You've not been here for two minutes? confidence guy. Brad's about to be like, okay.
This is something that like came up on R&B lunchtime radio.
It is something that I am personally like aware of.
I don't feel like we're talking snowballs.
We're talking about your confidence with snowballs.
We heard that there was a moment,
you told us that back in the day,
like you were kind of known,
you were the guy like threw him a little too hard.
I was too, I was too,
I guess accurate's the
right word. I just, my buddy Casey Kerr, we would have like mud ball fights in
our neighborhood. Okay. Took out a mud ball. Hit him in the eye. Snowballs, I
would just, I would hit people in the face too often. You're aiming for face?
Yeah, I was aiming for face and hitting face. Pinpoint accuracy. So you got banned? No, I got I got in
trouble though. I mean, I didn't get banned from throwing
snowballs. But yeah, I I threw I just dialed in. I I didn't get
the the we had like a middle school, you know, the honor
rules kind of award. I got suspended for a day because I
hit my buddy Zach Knight with a ball in the face too hard.
So he said he wouldn't miss he wouldn't miss it was so much so
that I made him do a bushel of tomatoes at the run fair to see
if he can hit this guy in the face.
But I did I didn't hit the guy in the face. You didn't hit a
guy in the face of the tomato with a pin point accurate
squishy tomatoes. Now it was it was not it's not great, but
Yeah, so you just have you just had kids in your class just run to the principal being like Brett's throwing it too hard
Literally, he's terrorizing us out here. Well, it wasn't the kid. It was the teacher to this guy's credit. He was
Him he some self deprecating humor on the TL. Did he confront this? Yeah. Oh,
I did not see that. He said, yeah, something along the lines of, yeah, I stepped out for a casual
snowball fight. Next thing I know, I'm the poster boy for whatever. For poor, for poor. Just imagine,
imagine that you're like having a great snow day, you're off of work, like you're outside,
you have an impromptu snowball fight with all your neighbors.
You can just take it in the shorts.
You like walk inside and you're like,
man, I can really, humanity is so great.
Like we all just banded together
and had this really fun experience.
And then you log onto Twitter
and just see yourself getting roasted.
Just the worst form.
Yeah.
It's giving it.
I mean, just the shoulder tilt, like it's bad. Ah, it's fine, it's fine. He's giving, eh. I mean, just the shoulder tilt, like.
It's bad.
It's bad. It's fine, it's fine.
He's doing just fine.
By the way, Park's got a Vortex football for Christmas.
Let me know if he needs any lessons.
Oh, did he?
Yeah. Oh, no.
So we can have fun with that if we want.
J-Bone found a Vortex bottle in the wild
over Christmas break.
Wow.
Holiday break, sorry J-Bones.
Really?
At a bar?
Like in a, I think in someone's refrigerator.
Yeah.
And drinkable.
I don't think he drank it.
I didn't ask if he drank it actually.
Well, it would have gone down his throat way too fast.
He's too busy hitting the capital O button for let's go.
That's sick.
Will we bring back this look here?
Well look.
This hat and the bangs over the eye.
No.
It looks like she's straight out like the early 2000s.
I was gonna say, that's very-
It's like Gilmore Girls or something like that.
That's 90s.
She's cosplaying as Robert Smith from The Cure.
So this picture on the TL,
the guy who's getting ready to throw behind him.
Yeah, we were just talking about this dude.
He's got something to him. Something's about to get him. don't know that dude. I don't want to see that dude's
Reddit history at all. He's got the leg kit going. He's already ready to go. That guy came out for
blood though. Blue jacket just came out to have fun. Yeah, he's absolutely for a poor blue jacket,
man. This guy's about to launch one. Yeah, that dude's got his, his, his leg is. Old neck beard back there is putting razor blades in his.
Did you see it?
One of the tweets that really went off, it was like,
it was pointing out that the,
how the privatization of youth baseball has ruined.
Yeah.
Like our bill, our throwing mechanics.
And I think I agree.
I don't know why, but I think I do.
Kids are, kids are just choosing other sports
other than baseball play these days.
Sad.
It's a damn shame.
Are kids not playing stick ball anymore?
I don't know.
Out in the street.
Kids aren't hitting the Vortex Blue bat.
Hitting mechanics has gotten out of control, by the way.
In a good way or bad way?
In a bad way.
Really?
I don't pick fights with mechanics.
People just watch like,
pitching ninja and hitting mechanics.
I saw like an MLB or comment on,
some video went viral of this guy teaching
hitting mechanics and someone said like,
this has gotta stop.
They're teaching lift.
That's the way the game's drawn.
Big time lift.
Just uppercut, yeah.
Yeah, like collapsing that back shoulder
and just creating left.
And it like, it drop kick.
More strikeouts, but more home runs.
It's also creating a lot of pushes right off the tee.
I'm pro dinger, so I like this.
Yeah, I mean, it's MLB.
No one's slapping it around the yard anymore.
Speaking of, happy birthday Jason Giambi.
Okay. Huh.
My dad met him on a cruise one time.
Good guy. Yes, so yeah. Sick. That's tough. Three pointers and home runs, man. Yeah. That's what
we're doing. Sports these days. Why the fuck did you know it was Jason Giambi's birthday?
It's Jason
Jambi. How did you not? Well,
it's the Joms. I like the idea.
I call him uncut Joms. The guy
in the Patriots, Beanie Dave to
the left again of the blue guy
just being like, ah **** it's
snowball fight, dude. That
dude's a mass hole from
**** hell. Like little stringy
mustache with the the shades on and the Patriots beanie not covering any part of his ear.
How about the guy in full American flag attire
and American flag cowboy hat.
He heard people were getting together in DC
and just printed out his best fit on.
Little late buddy.
What is the best J6 fit on?
Dave, you've partied at Jason Giambi's house.
You know that? I did not know that.
He owns Casa Cielo. Or no, you haven't. I'm sorry. That's a different house. I'm thinking of a
different house in Cabo. I thought that was where my in-laws got married. Different house.
You haven't partied at Jason Giambi's house. I take it back. Does he have a house out there?
He does. Sick. You want to party at Jeremy Giambi's house. Oh, yeah? Wait, did he die?
You want to party at Jeremy's, Jeremy's house. Oh yeah?
Wait, did he die?
You know, like in theory, I should know that
since I know Jason Giammi's birthday, but I don't know.
Yeah, he died.
Rest in peace, Jeremy.
I think it was an OD.
We can cut this part.
Hey, thanks for coming on, Brett.
Glad you throw a...
Yeah, let's not explore this one further.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sorry, sorry.
Yeah, maybe we should move on.
Yeah.
Move on.
Let's think for a sec.
Get out of here, Brett.
We're done with you.
I like to turn off.
If you just cover this dude's arm up, like, this guy kind of rolls and you look bad.
David Ward, fellas, let's go!
His arm's just a little higher

Friday is a big day for me because my Texas
Longhorns play in the semi-finals against the Buckeyes of Ohio State and I'm very excited to
watch the game. Expectations are tempered. I think I've been over that a bit but it's going to be fun.
It's been a good season so far and so if it ends here you know it's it's been good but
you never
know you just never know so I'll be watching that game I don't have plans to
go like step out and watch it James hit me up about watching at a bar I don't
know if I want to do that he doesn't have the investment that you have I know
I said man I'm a headcase in big games I kind of like to watch them in the
privacy of my own home but I don't know I don't know so watch them in the privacy of my own home. But I don't know.
I don't know.
So I might get a wild hair.
How much are you?
We got game Thursday too, sorry.
Yeah, game Thursday too.
Okay.
How much do you think tickets are going for
at that Dallas like dome thing for this?
This is at Jerry World, right?
Not to be dumb.
Tickets are very gettable right now.
No, but tickets for the, like the,
you know the dome experience?
Oh, that one.
Yeah. I forgot what it's called. Yeah pretty high oh the stadium bar yeah it's uh I
just asked a dumb question I didn't get an answer is this at Jerry world yes okay
yes it is so it's the cotton ball at Jerry world yes whether it looks dicey
and I'm a little worried I think I might get postponed no I don't think but I
think it's gonna be like you're gonna hear people being like it was a
nightmare the cotton ball released a statement last night saying the game is No, I don't think but I think it's gonna be like you're gonna hear people being like it was a nightmare
The Cotton Bowl released a statement last night saying the game is still on as scheduled
But things could change obviously
In the rest of the weekend, I'll have parks
Me parks and Chelsea now we don't have much going on yet the weather not looking great for stepping out So I don't know what we're gonna do. I just hunkered down and it might be a movie fest
or something, I'm not sure.
Well, if you get any pine house pizza,
please bring in your leftovers.
Okay.
Do we have leftovers in there right now?
Nope, I took them home.
Cosm, who was it you're thinking of?
That's what it's called.
Cosm. Cosm.
Cosm. I wanna go to Cosm.
I wanna go to a wedding in Dallas
where I get drunk on the night of the rehearsal dinner.
I go to a Manchester United game at Cosm
to lick the wounds the next morning.
And then I just go full fledged into that wedding.
I just, everyone I know is married at this point.
Well, I'm not.
Are you gonna get married in Dallas anytime soon?
No. Okay.
I'm not married.
Just talking, okay.
So you know me and Dylan, but we're not married.
Also Brett.
Guess we don't count.
Seems like you know a lot of people that aren't married.
Okay, well, let me know when the Dallas wedding is
and I'll go.
Just bean theory to you.
Saturday and Sunday look great.
Do they?
Sunny, high of 60.
Oh, nevermind then.
Cold in the morning, but yeah, that's a beautiful day.
Absolutely.
Cold in the morning.
And that's it.
Just in case, load up on sausages.
Yeah, get all the sausage you can get.
I will, I will.
That's all I got, man.
Have you been illegally shipping hot dogs
over to North Korea?
Yes.
That we've been fulfilling so many orders lately?
I am the plug for American hot dogs in North Korea.
The glizzy smuggler.
Yeah.
There's something to that.
Yeah.
Who would we give up in, you know,
if Dylan got taken hostage in North Korea
for dealing hot dogs,
would we give up someone to get him back?
Like one of their prisoners?
Yeah.
Yeah, we'd give up like some spy that went through MIT
that we've had in Gitmo.
I mean, it wouldn't be our call really, but.
But you guys have some weight thrown around.
I think America's GMs are playing scared after
the grinder trade. I think they saw how that one played out and it wasn't, it's not looking good.
That's the kind of trade you're fired. It's the kind of trade that gets you run. What about you, Davey?
I was kind of in the same boat until I looked at the forecast and I'm like oh Saturday and Sunday look kind of dope.
Okay. But nothing on the books as of yet. Two will be watching the football games so we can discuss it on Too Much Dip the following Monday but laying fairly low unless something comes up.
I'm a big fan. I have not had a cold weather day drink
I'm a big fan. I have not had a cold weather day drink in over a year, meaning like it's 55 degrees, the sun's out, so it's not horrible. There's no wind, but I'm out wearing like
a Patagonia pullover or a jacket and I might be sitting outside or maybe I'm just in an
open air bar situation. Either way, it's like beautiful. Not sweating is the main takeaway
from this hypothetical scenario.
So maybe I'll do that.
Tie one on, Hoss.
I might get your gatti on.
Mr. Gaddies?
Trump has a new nickname for Gavin Newsome.
Have you guys seen this?
No, I haven't.
What is that?
Gavin Newscum.
That's what I call him.
Newscum, it fits. I call him. Newscum. It fits.
What's your ideal day drinking spot in this cool weather, David?
It's too cold for open air, brother.
If the high is 59 and it's sunny, if I get out at like two.
That's roller coaster weather.
It's roller coaster weather.
Good pull.
I almost said perlas but
perlas is so shaded with those dope trees that like I got some friends going to perlas on Saturday.
I love perlas. You could talk me into um
you could talk me into maybe Bolden.
Maybe. I'm not going to do that. If anyone's going to talk you to Bolden, it ain't going to talk me into Call Bush. I'll text him.
Man, I don't got much.
We're going to throw an absolute shit ripper at our house for this Texas game and then Sally remembered that she had a birthday party before it so that's not happening anymore.
I'm a little bummed about it, to be honest. I don't have an alternative shit ripper to attend.
So it sounds like I'll be attending this game in the comfort of my own home.
I wish you just never told us.
I know. Honestly, I'm pretty upset about it.
Not going to get into it, but like don't promise a shit ripper and then not rip any shit.
Quote him.
Yeah, I was ready to rip shit over there.
I was ready to rip shit.
I'd kind of plan to, yeah.
Maybe, let me put in some requests.
What if we did like a group text and just put some pressure on it? ready to rip shit. I'd kind of plan to, yeah. Maybe, let me put in some requests.
What if we did like a group text
and just put some pressure on her?
That fire pit hasn't been christened yet
in the proper way.
Let's put the screws to her.
You know?
We're still talking about the game in my house?
Yeah, put the pressure on her.
Okay. Okay.
Not Dave's little whiskey girl.
Nope, no whiskey's allowed.
I am doing dry January, so if you guys come over, we're not allowed to drink. We got No whiskey's allowed. Um I am doing dry January so if you guys
come over we're not allowed to drink. We got a whiskey witch though. I'm just
kidding. Good girls don't drink whiskey. More whiskey witch. It's a good song. I've
had a drink every day wet January, dude.
Stop. Saturday, we got some friends in town.
They're not like staying with us or anything.
But you know, they're bopping around town,
having a nice little Austin weekend,
so I might step out, word on the street
that Matt's might be the play.
Get the squad together.
My phone will be charged and I'll be in a good cell area
if you want to reach out.
I'm not coordinating this dinner.
This is my friends who are in town inviting people to things.
How convenient.
God, dude.
It's never you in making the plates.
If I get the brisket enchiladas, unlike some people,
I'll take a fucking photo of them, Dylan,
and I'll send it to you.
Make sure you do it before you eat them.
Okay, yeah, I'll take a picture of the plate
before the plate is empty.
That was so funny. That was devastating, dude.
Like I still want to know what these, I don't even, what kind of sauces on these?
So does some rice and beans.
I don't remember.
Or just rice actually.
They were fine.
They're good.
It's a nice alternative.
I need to swerve off.
I did recommend some, uh, some Pancho style nachos to someone the other day, Dylan.
I don't think they liked them very much.
Really?
That's, that's.
I need to pivot on tacos, all carbon for a bit. I've been just driving that car every time I go out. someone the other day, Dylan, I don't think they liked him very much. Really? Mm-hmm. That's stupid.
I need to pivot off Tacos Al Carbone for a bit.
I've been just driving that car every time I go out.
It's a good order.
It is a good order, but I've just had it
like eight times in a row.
It can only be so good so many times in a row.
I get it.
I don't know, man, it's a bye week for your boy.
So, you know, I kind of got an open Sunday.
Y'all wouldn't know about that.
Oh yeah, got a little a playoff, a wild card weekend.
Yeah, I've got no Manchester United this weekend,
no Lions, which means a lot of free time.
Man, my jam is just gonna be snogging some Man City guy.
Oh yeah, they're definitely going on holiday.
Devastating. That sucks, dude. Who should my new health pads be? I'm now opening the table up.
Martha Stewart. Nikki Glaser. Martha Stewart's a good one. Yeah. I don't,
I think she might throw down. I think the young factor of me, what might actually help me.
Buddy, you can't handle Martha Stewart. Buddy, I don't care.
She can, we should get out of here.
Bye.
Thanks for watching guys!
