Starting point is 00:00:00 all right we're back circling back podcast coming to you live from austin Texas. My name's Will DeFries. To my left, David Ruff. Yeah, man. I just feel like the day after the Super Bowl should be a holiday. A national holiday. Dude, are you so hungover or what? Yeah, the two Guinness stouts that I put back last night on top of the wings and the ribs, like, it's hitting right now in a bad way. If I stumble out of here, you know why.
Starting point is 00:00:53 It's because I've been drinking all morning. But also, my stomach hurts. Oh, okay. It's a combination of the two. So, I tweeted last night, making fun of the people that say that because it's just a really dumb thing to say. It's messed up. I have a guy in my mentions right now who is making an argument for it being a national holiday in a serious manner. He said, one-third of Americans watch the game.
Starting point is 00:01:17 I had to drive home an hour last night. It was a shit show. Tons of people driving buzzed and drunk home. People getting pulled over. People drifting into the wrong lane uh sir hold on what sir this is his rationalization you're saying that because people are drunk driving which they shouldn't be doing we gotta tomorrow should be a national holiday when we drive drunk we gotta be able to sleep at all man wait what an idiot what an idiot
Starting point is 00:01:41 like come on man that. I like that reasoning. You didn't have to drive home an hour, by the way. You could have just watched the game an hour. I like the idea that if people know they have the day off, then they won't go even harder. Right. And drive even drunker and drift even more. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:01 That is the dumbest. That's not. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. He needs to suss that out a little bit i've heard some dumb shit yeah it when i saw that i was like what am i dealing like what's going on like if we would have gotten the day off today like i wouldn't have driven drunk last night like what explain that one imagine kicking off the week a very special week with a holiday and it just so happens to be podcast week wow can you imagine it sneaks up

Starting point is 00:03:49 Except for you. It's just – it's an enjoyable, healthy alternative, healthier alternative to wings and chicken, buffalo chicken dip and all that crap. What, lean protein?

But I still can't stop listening. Hell yeah. My wife says it's a bromance.

Towing capacity on that shit just off the charts oh yeah there's nothing he can't tell jeez what you got what's a dually dual exhaust it has uh the four wheels and back oh that's called a dually dually you learn new things every time i'm unfamiliar
Starting point is 00:08:39 with uh duallys it the weight the weight transfer it extends it out a bit. So you can pull heavier shit. I'm having to go on my phone because Apple Podcasts does not show the entirety of some of their reviews. And this one is so long that I needed to read everything about it. This is from Bernie Boss. It says, on behalf of all non-English speakers, as the self-proclaimed CB listeners that English is not their first language as ambassador, I'd like to thank these guys. They have taught me true American culture more than
Starting point is 00:09:11 any education system. I now know the following. Never get fajitas without cheese. What a Mondo dump is that I can be from the north and have an alternative country personality that you can walk from Banff to Calgary and that he's a hundo peer. He said, among many more items, let these guys earn your business.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Dang. That's good. Do we think people are utilizing and possibly leveraging AI tools to craft reviews? Someone needs to do that. Five stars. Not too much. Do it once or twice. if you're a backer and
Starting point is 00:09:46 you haven't left a review yet use use chat gpt or whatever it's called today to to go craft a review for our podcast and then go leave it on that hey shouts to the backers servando we met at kelly's irish pub the other day major shouts major shouts nice thoughts uh our final one that i'll say uh i don't yeah okay i don't know sorry someone okay i'm listening someone just said five stars this pod gives you the same feeling as drinking eight vizzies and packing a lip thank goodness that's a good feeling that sounds aggressive yeah that sounds aggressive don't recommend eight no i mean yeah like unless you're just an absolute hoss and you can handle that kind of thing,
Starting point is 00:10:26 but like, please, we didn't tell you to do that. We didn't tell you to do that. I think it's time to recap the weekend in fun presented by our friends over at Fitbod.

Starting point is 00:14:18 was strong people were solid good vibes might have seen kyle shanahan brett said he saw kyle shanahan no one else we gotta talk about that brett brett might just brett might just have like he thinks he sees famous you know how he's seen a couple and now he's looking for them so if he sees anybody any dude wearing like a flat build hat that's like 5 10 or something it's like there's kyle shanahan okay you know i'm a super recognizer There are also people who have face blindness. I think he's face blind. I'm not face blind
Starting point is 00:14:49 in the sense that I'm totally face blind, but I'm face blind. I'm like, you know how like you're color blind. You're not actually blind. You're just a version
Starting point is 00:14:57 of like being blind. That's how I feel about face blind. Version of being blind. Yeah. Like I feel like that with face blind. I struggle. Anytime that I say, oh, I feel like that with face blind. Yeah. I struggle.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Any time that I say, oh, that looks like this person, everyone around me is like, no, it doesn't. Nah, that ain't it. Nah, nah. That ain't it.
Starting point is 00:15:12 That's why I don't even say that anymore. I say, oh, they've got the same vibe as whatever, and that gets a much better success rate for me. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I can see that.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Yeah. That was my Saturday. It was a great time. Sunday, big family day. Took the kids to the park. Parks and I went on a bike ride. Had an excellent time. He loved it.
Starting point is 00:15:29 Let me watch the big game. Watch the big game. Which one? The Manchester United-Leeds game? Yep. Rihanna performed at halftime. No, that was of the football game, the American football game that was on later that night.
Starting point is 00:15:41 Are you sure? Yeah, no. There was no halftime performer during Man U-Leeds. Oh. I don't think. I don't think no halftime performer during Man U Leeds. Oh. I don't think. I don't think. Maybe they had Oasis come out or something. Honestly, excellent weekend.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Wish I could do it all over again. Dude, right? Dave, what about you, man? Dude, only five days till the weekend, bro. Oh. That's fucking sick. Very similar to yours. Oh.
Starting point is 00:16:04 We stayed in Friday, made chicken parm i shouldn't really say we because i didn't do anything uh quite good um watch love island watch the mavs very fun times saturday i'm shocked to announce um i guess dylan already did that our plans actually did come to fruition. We followed through. And it happened. When the text went out in the morning, I was like, okay, I could see this not happening at all. But it did.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Thanks for not sharing that negativity with the group because that would have derailed me. Was we already known? Dylan and I arrived about 20 minutes late and I was worried that everyone was going to be there already. We were first. Yeah, like first by a mile. Then Davey came through. It was a nice scene.
Starting point is 00:16:50 We even had to change tables midway through. Because our group kept growing. Because we were apparently in violation of the fire code. DJ Duds came through. I knew that was going to happen the second Brett pulled up a stool and put it there. Everyone knows. That's the waiter in me just being like, nah, we're going to get asked to move.
Starting point is 00:17:08 If you think I was going to scoot over to get three people on my side of the booth, not happening. That's not happening. That ain't it. You can't run threes on the side. You got to man spread. Yeah. Alpha shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:17 The second Brett entered the premises, it was like, oh, man, we're going to get told to leave. We're going to get told to leave. We had the classic, let's go somewhere for dinner, but let's look at each other until somebody comes up with a good idea, and then let's see if we could even get in. So I was a little worried about that. I was like, dude, we're kind of beefing this. Carve always plays, though.
Starting point is 00:17:40 We went. While it was crowded, we ended up snagging a spot at the bar. We got there at 620. I walk up. I said, where three people three people were walking and they said best i can do is nine o'clock like that doesn't sound that doesn't sound good i'm not sitting here for over two and a half hours so we we touched on this a minute ago but brett did say he spotted kyle shanahan and so brett has seen multiple celebs there the The Sandlot guy. It's just crazy to me that every time he goes to Carvey, he sees someone famous. Chris Harrison.
Starting point is 00:18:09 I think he's forcing it now. I think he feels like he's letting us down if he doesn't spot somebody. Oh, and we were like, where is he? He goes, oh, he's in the very back room with the door. It's a private room. How convenient. We can't get eyes on this guy.
Starting point is 00:18:20 Man, it's crazy that the other private room at Carvey is all windows, and you can see everyone in there. But Kyle Shanahan happens to be in this other one. I went back-to-back martini, Tito's, for those wondering, which I did get some criticism for. The young ladies that we struck up a conversation with seated next to Dylan, she kind of looked down on me for my
Starting point is 00:18:46 Tito's order. Where's she from? I don't know. I mean, she's from here. I was like, what? Okay. Whatever. Dude, that looked down on you. Also got called out. Um, there was a group of also three women in our age demographic sitting further down the bar and as they left one of them like put her hand on my shoulder and she said hey my friends were the reason my friends were staring at you because they couldn't believe that you were drinking those martinis and not eating the olives and i was just like is that a true story i missed that you were sitting right there but um i i i was shocked i was like I guess, I don't know. I don't always eat the olives.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Is that a thing? Why were they biting your shit like that? First of all, I didn't notice them staring at me. We had had no interaction with them whatsoever. I don't know, man. It was a little, you know, I don't know. It was weird. They were walking out, and she was just letting me know.
Starting point is 00:19:42 I'll eat the olives when I want to. They were blue cheese, of course. Went home, watched the Mavs again. Sunday, Super Bowl Sunday. Did the thing at home. Had another couple over. What did you have over? The news.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Start spreading the news. I almost went there too, man. If we did that in sync, that would have been sick. I looked at you. I was ready. I could tell sync, that would have been sick. I looked at you. I was ready. I could tell you were so excited to do it. I just gave you the runway. I don't know why that was fun.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Thanks for the invite, man. Yeah. Yeah. I'd seen enough of you. Okay. Will? Do you know what your boy was into this weekend? No.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Well, Sally and her Dangerous Nights crew hit the town on Friday night, which meant that I just had a wide open schedule to sit at home with my son. Luckily for me, my future brother-in-law decided to come over. We decided to pour up a couple of drinks. Things escalated. Things escalated.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Yeah. I didn't mean to tie one on, but I did. So yeah, that was a great time um and then saturday i woke up i felt better if i'm being honest it wasn't the best and so it was just kind of a uh a lethargic day uh until we arrived at kelly's irish pub uh what a spot what a spot there's there's a there's an imminent meet up there it's it's going to occur it's going to occur. It's going to occur. Hey, did you play that ZC Friday night?
Starting point is 00:21:09 We're not calling it ZC. No, I did not, David. Okay. Actually, yes, I did. I'm sorry. I did. I did. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:21:16 I see you lying. I totally forgot about that part of the evening. That actually might be part of the reason that I got sneaky a little more buzz than I thought, because I did the classic Dave Ruff move of having a beer while waiting for my pizza Pine House pizza could not have been more packed and you love to see that I support their business and I support everything they do um yeah I instead of going to carve I had already had some some dinner plans laid out for me I went to Matt's El Rancho you guys familiar with this place I've been so I went to Matt's El Rancho, you guys familiar with this place? I've been. So I went to Matt's El Rancho, just mashed that fish taco button, absolutely got into two strawberry dot margaritas.
Starting point is 00:21:50 You know what it is. You got blacked, didn't you? No. No, I was fine. I was fine. You got super faded. And then I tried to escalate a situation that didn't need escalating at my apartment. There were some police officers looking for something that had been lost in the
Starting point is 00:22:05 bushes outside of our apartment. Was it a UFO that fell out of the sky? Might have been a UFO that fell out of the sky. And so they're with this other couple. And after Matt's, I was pretty buzzed. And I was like up on our balcony looking down like with my cell phone, trying to figure out what was going on. I don't think my help was needed. Cops are like, the drunk guy thinks he's helping us. And he just really didn't know it. I got my flashlight. What are you guys looking for looking for yeah they didn't seem that well at first i thought they were doing that thing like if somebody was driving and they threw something out of their car and so i thought they were getting a dui and i thought things were really going to get tense
Starting point is 00:22:34 but then i realized that there was just an innocent uh group of people looking for something which now is making me wonder do i need to go search through the bushes of my apartment in order to figure out if there's something expensive out there? It's probably a wedding ring of some sort. What if it's like the Declaration of Independence or something? Okay. I mean, that's possible. But it's on like a thumb drive. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Yeah, I'm into it. And then Sunday was just a great day. Micah, who was originally supposed to have people over for the Super Bowl, canceled his plans. And then somehow he ended up at my place, which I was like, how are you canceling the plans that you invited me over? And then now I am hosting you. Hey, thanks for that invite, man.
Starting point is 00:23:14 To be honest, Dylan, you didn't miss much. I mean, we were all in bed before the third quarter started. I love that both of y'all had these massive, massive Super Bowl parties. Huge parties. And I didn't get an invite to either one of them. So that's cool. Yeah, Sally made chili.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Beans or nah? Yeah, she went beans. Okay. She went beans. A little Super Bowl soup. And Micah hit us with the wings. And I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised
Starting point is 00:23:43 by how good Micah's wings are. Did they go off? He did a sous vide, and then he parlayed that sous vide into an air-frying blister of those wings. And the sauce that he used, he did a combination of some different hot sauces, and it made for... You know what? I'll just say it. It was the juxtaposition of the different hot sauces
Starting point is 00:24:03 with the different preparation methods that really did it for me. Wow. Yeah. The air fryers, I think these things are going to have longevity. I think that these are going to stick around for a long, long time. We're pretty ground floor on these, but yeah, air fryer, thumbs up. Big thumbs up. I still have never used one.
Starting point is 00:24:20 Dude, my least favorite thing about the air fryer is cleaning the air fryer. Not fun. It's the worst thing in the world. They need a dishwasher that's only for air fryers. Like, you can put it inside. I took it out of the box, and it was like in a thousand pieces, and I was like, I just don't want to do this. It was?
Starting point is 00:24:33 What? I don't know. It had all kinds of contraptions and moving parts. I was like, fuck this shit. I mean, if I'm being straight up honest with you, I don't know how to use it. I'm on cleaning duty it's pretty it's pretty I assume it's easy I just Sally's Sally doesn't really let me do anything Dave can do it it must be really really easy Sally gets so annoyed if I'm in the kitchen when she's
Starting point is 00:24:55 cooking now it used to be like a team effort we used to attack those things together now she'll be like can you just go like okay uh if I try to help sometimes after like, you know, a big meal, I'll go in there and try to clean up. And she'll just be like, hey, just, you can go. Go watch Rhodes or something. Because like she doesn't like how I scrub the dishes before I put them in the dishwasher or something. I don't do it as well.

That's a prerequisite. Which I've never made before is going to blow everyone's out of the water. I'd rather eat buffalo wings than Buffalo chicken dip. Yeah. Agree.

Starting point is 00:27:53 What's up with that? Apptopia sounds like a rainforest where the apps are just growing on trees. Yeah. It's just hummus just growing off trees. Is the rainforest still in danger? Because I feel like that's all I heard about in elementary elementary school it's like dude the rainforest is going away it is yeah why are they still teaching that in schools probably we probably threw all those books away i don't know
Starting point is 00:28:16 what okay yeah maybe dude i remember going to the omni the imax predecessor and seeing like watching like a a movie about the rainforest it was like life-changing dude i remember being up at night like worried like dude where's the rainforest gonna go all those two cans man they need a home damn dave took down two cans last night oh it's true i did so you're going on the extra style huh have i told you what happened dude i don't like the extra style i i know well well unless they want to sponsor the podcast which would make me the happiest person on earth so it was the way the wednesday night of the freeze the freeze not the freeze but although he probably had a great night too
Starting point is 00:29:00 it's every night's great i went to heb and it was a madhouse because everybody thought the world was ending so and i was just in i was actually buying uh baby wipes kind of kind of happen to be something you need a me wipes and i was like oh you know what i'm gonna grab i'm gonna grab some beers some cold beers and the line was so long that i ran over to the beer section and i grabbed what I thought was just regular Guinness bottles. Dude, I've been there. And by the time I got in line, I noticed I had acquired the stouts. You have to be careful.
Starting point is 00:29:31 I can't give the spot up. Yeah. So I'm just going to roll with it. And they're fine. If you get the bottles, Dave, you have to know that it's the extra stout. You can't just get the bottle. I know. You could have asked your neighbor behind you.
Starting point is 00:29:39 You might have to go swap the stout. I thought about it. And I was feeling them out a little bit. I just didn't get the vibe. At the store?. I didn't. I just didn't get it. At the store? Yeah, in public. I just didn't get the vibe. That's assault, brother.
Starting point is 00:29:50 I just didn't. Gross, dude. In the checkout line. He's trying to tell a story. Gotta clean it up. No, dude. It's tough. I hope you guys aren't taking this level of immaturity to your headlines.
Starting point is 00:30:04 I tried to – so I'm a big fan of when you're leaving the grocery store of going to the single beer section and seeing if anything tickles my fancy. And they had a Guinness extra stout not in the bottle in a large can. So I automatically assumed it was a normal Guinness. That's too tricky. I got home and I realized like, oh, man, I tasted it, and I was like, man, is this, it feels stouty, but is this extra stouty? Turns out it was.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Turns out it was. Yeah, it's still good, but it's not your ridge. Yeah, maybe saying it's not as good, like, it's more of a, I need to know going in that it's extra stout. Otherwise, I want to hear that CO2 thing just crack. Oh, yeah. Headlines.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Oh, shit. Headlines. We're going to do some original headlines. Dude, that sounds great. Headlines, Dylan. It does sound great. It's time. Headlines, I think, if I'm not mistaken, Randy will probably know.
Starting point is 00:31:03 I've won all of them, yeah. Was Headlines born when Rihanna first got pregnant headlines i think if i'm not mistaken randy will probably know i've won all of them was headlines born when rihanna first got pregnant and dylan got insanely horny on the podcast i believe so yes yeah so we have no other choice if rihanna gets pregnant we bust out some headlines and we get horny for it well some of us do i'm very happy i'm very happy that one of her reps uh immediately confirmed her pregnancy after so we didn't have to do this whole song and dance into Monday. Yeah. It's a total pro move from that person.
Starting point is 00:31:29 What we do on headlines is that we take something that might have happened in pop culture, might not have happened in pop culture, might just be something in the news, and we write headlines about it as if we are still working at a blog. And I have to say, some of our headlines are pretty damn good. We write some fun ones. Maybe a little clickbaity, but they're fun. They're so good and accurate that you might even see them on Cosmo or BuzzFeed later today. You want.
Starting point is 00:31:54 I'm not saying they're copying us, but we are kind of, you know, the goats of this. To be clear, these are not AI-generated either. These are brain-generated. Do you want me to do an AI-generated one just in case? Yeah, I would love that. Okay. I'm going to type in,
Starting point is 00:32:07 write a horny headline about Rihanna being pregnant. Okay. They're at capacity right now, so I guess I can't do that. The BuzzFeed's writing a bunch of articles right now and using their shit. Midterms coming up. Dude, those terms...
Starting point is 00:32:23 I've been saying... I'm glad you pointed that out, dude. I thought those terms i've been saying i'm glad you i'm glad you pointed that out dude i thought those terms were pretty mid too who's gonna lead us off i think you should you're on fire i don't have i got one i don't have good he wants the rock dylan's dylan feels himself my headlights today are rihanna's super bowl performance was a great way to end the weekend. Now it's back to work, work, work, work. All right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:53 Okay. Oh, come on. That's fucking... I don't know if I would have led with it, but it's good. It's not bad. It's good. I would tell you if it was bad. It's good. No, I wouldn't.
Starting point is 00:33:01 I would never tell someone else their headline's bad. All right. I guess I'll go. do you smell what rihanna's cooking she certainly did she smelled her fingers i think i missed that yeah i missed that okay i said that there would be no bad headlines. I lied. Okay. I missed that part of the performance, but it was pretty talked about. She did the MJ crotch and then did the thing. I'm not going to do it because I don't want it to be clipped. Why don't you do it? Nope.
Starting point is 00:33:35 What you got, Will? ASAP rocks off. Well, that was quick. Rihanna pregnant again after his halftime reveal. I like that. Here's kind of just a generic one. We found love in a generic one. We found love in a super place.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Rihanna steals America's hearts on NFL's biggest stage. That's actual. Did you just steal that from like Daily Beast? No. Someone's using that. Dude, your boy literally wrote that. That's crazy. That's how dope it is. And you're gifted.
Starting point is 00:34:01 I know. All right, this one comes from the opinion section section of the new york times okay so it's okay for rihanna to grab her crotch but if i do that same move at my cousin's wedding i'm a weirdo wait what i just how did i miss this uh what what show were you watching dave i missed missed that too. She grabbed her shit? I feel like most people saw it. Okay. Bone Day replay? More like Bone Day replay.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Rihanna running back another baby. Okay. Get it? Bone Day replay. She's replaying the bone. Here's one. Rihanna blasted by football fans for lame halftime show. Hey, rude boy boy, can you shut it up?
Starting point is 00:34:48 Was she getting blasted? There's some criticism because she was kind of lackadaisical. She was just kind of going through the motions. She's pregnant, folks. That was part of the charm. Yeah. She looked cool as fuck. I also thought the pregnant woman who was 40 feet above the ground strapped into something.
Starting point is 00:35:04 She just didn't do enough for me. I wanted her to do like a head spin or something. Yeah. She's risking life. Don't let the three UFOs we've shot down distract you from Rihanna being a smoking hot pregnant chick again. Just don't let that get in the way. It wasn't getting in the way for me.
Starting point is 00:35:23 No, we know that. Yeah. Shut up and drive. Me to the hospital because this Rihanna news is absolutely sending me. Oh, I like that. It was okay. It was fine. All right, here's one.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Nothing crazy. Nothing crazy. Praise for Rihanna is now raining more than ever. Pop star shines at Super Bowl. Pretty good. Come on, that's good day you go say something pretty good pour it up pour it up and by it i mean a mocktail because riri is pregnant again that's good that's good it's good i like that see when when you share a good one i say that's good good job
Starting point is 00:35:59 dave you just sit there oh i didn't know what to do. You sang. Yeah, I fucking, it was beautiful. It's part of the charm, but I just don't know how to react. It was beautiful. Please don't stop the music, because this Travis Kelsey guy won't shut the fuck up. Yeah, the dude. What's that guy's deal? Has he always been annoying? Like, I'm not a big football guy, but, you know, last night was really my first ever experience seeing him interviewed. That was terrible.
Starting point is 00:36:22 I don't know if I've ever seen someone brick a post-game Super Bowl quite like that. It was just everything he did. It was like, dude, just stop. Yeah. You've been here before. Was he drunk before the game ended? Hey, can someone win a championship and not be like, hey, everyone was doubting us? You're the Chiefs, man.
Starting point is 00:36:42 The best quarterback in the world is your quarterback. Everyone on the Fox panel did pick the Eagles hilariously. But, yeah, no. You know what I mean? He just had a chip on his shoulder, man. People thought that they would only be one of, like, the four best teams instead of the best team. Georgia won the natty.
Starting point is 00:36:57 In the postgame, they're all like, oh, you guys thought we were going to go, you know, eight and four. Like, no, literally nobody thought that. You're Georgia. Just a real underdog story dude i actually get my peaches in georgia hey here's one oh wow you had no time for that please don't stop the music music rihanna played the hits during super Bowl's halftime show. That was pretty weak. That was pretty weak. You can delete that one. That was good, doc. We can delete that one.
Starting point is 00:37:32 Let's see what you idiots have. Here's the fire headlines. It might be the drugs, but that halftime show got me crying like Nick Sirianni, y'all. The drugs? What drugs were you taking yeah what like ones that make you cry what emotional ones yeah what publication is this on it was mainly uh i don't think we're gonna see this one on like or anything
Starting point is 00:37:58 well you got one? You finished. I'm sorry for this one. Okay. Two-point conversion. More like a two-pump conversion after Rihanna's halftime performance. That's good. That's how horny you got. Wow. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:17 You know your boy likes him some Rihanna, and I kind of think I like pregnant Rihanna even more. She bad. Man, we all kind of went to this well. Please don't stop the music, but if Rihanna does, it's fine because she is very pregnant. That's good.
Starting point is 00:38:33 That's good. Rihanna paid nothing for Super Bowl performance. Wait, what? Bitch better have her money. One more time, actually. I'm sorry. Do you know that the performers don't get paid just about the exposure they get anyway she wasn't paid for her super bowl performance
Starting point is 00:38:50 wait what bitch better have her money pay her like pay her she deserves like that was good you know like give her some money for that performance you want to be compensated for your work do you mind if i i also have a bitch better have my money play do you mind if i hop in on this one day please please sorry i don't want to tap in too quick too many offensive lines rihanna kicks off halftime show with bitch better have my money uh-huh offensive see that's offensive yeah dan there's levels to that different ways to say that word that's weird isn't it? Yeah, I think so. Here's one. Critics throw sticks and stones at Rihanna's lackadaisical performance.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Well, those may break her bones, but chains and whips excite her. Okay. I didn't know where you were going with that. It's a little wordy. I didn't know where you were going with that. I included an entire line from one of her hits. You are a big fan of entire lines. I got one more. We're going to flip back over to the opinion section of the New York Times.
Starting point is 00:39:53 Enjoy this section. How am I supposed to explain to my two-year-old son why bad girl Riri is breaking players off like that? Like how? I can't answer that. Yeah. Cover his eyes. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Yeah. This one sucks. Second and goal? Looks like Rihanna and ASAP are running back the pregnancy. I got to tell you, that stinks. That's a play on the position no wait that's no that's level thanks dude that's a meta one okay i just really feel like they're running it back no i get it dude you get it because like a running back the guy that runs with the ball is called a running
Starting point is 00:40:39 back right yeah yeah he's running up he's they're running it back. No, I get it, man. Okay. All right, close us out with a heater. This one's not good. I only have one left. I'm out. This one's bad. It's the pervious one. This one's bad and long. Rihanna lifted high above the ground during jaw-dropping halftime performance.
Starting point is 00:40:58 We have expected her to flow down with an umbrella. See, I told you, that one stung. Yeah, not great. Oh, man. It was also just long. I kind of wish that wasn't what you were closing on. It took forever to get there. It doesn I told you that one stunk. Yeah, not great. Oh, man. It was also just long. I kind of wish that wasn't what you were closing on. It took forever to get there. It doesn't do you justice.
Starting point is 00:41:08 I was hoping I wasn't going to get this far into my list. I didn't want to share that one. I wish I would have led with my football puns so I could have finished a little stronger. Yeah. Because the final portion of mine are just not good. It says, this one, I don't know who wrote this one, actually. It says, sacks,acks muffs and tight ends this super bowl is all about the baby rihanna's carrying on stage
Starting point is 00:41:31 do you get it because you can't have a baby without like you know i'm sorry did you say muff without like a muff puff you get it yeah i understand you got it just trying to work it into the and like a sack yeah also refer to your balls but also like like when the quarterback oh yes gets tackled by someone else on the opposing team and then for a tight end that is somebody who traditionally uh lines up on the offensive line like a half offensive lineman half offensive line half receiver yeah and but in this case i'm talking about you know tight booties right like a tight backside oh yeah yeah is that a squid game theme deal do we know there was a was there a squid game
Starting point is 00:42:12 vibe to that halftime show color schemes for sure not sure i don't i don't think that's what they were going for i had the thought that nah that activated my fear of heights watching that performance i got a little got a little bit uncomfortable. She was strapped in. You know that, right? She was tethered. You weren't worried about that? She was tethered still.
Starting point is 00:42:31 What was your review of the halftime show overall? I absolutely loved it. Yeah. She has so many hits. And I forgot how many hits she had, honestly. She played nothing but the hits. The performance, like, she was pregnant. She did plenty for being as pregnant.
Starting point is 00:42:45 She was like six months pregnant. So I didn't want to bring this up. It's your child? I low-key kind of bricked the halftime performance at my place. What do you mean? You know, kids, these kids out here, they're obsessed with remote controls. And Fritz was trying to get the remote last night. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:43:01 And so what I did was I decided to put it in the pocket of my sweatshirt that i was wearing to avoid fritz being able to grab it well you hit buttons right towards the end of the performance uh fritz jumped on me and uh he hit the remote and it paused it and then it activated a different app i looked over at micah oh no and i over at Boo Boo, and both of them, I was like, oh, man, this is going to be tough. They might never watch another Super Bowl with me again. Man. I had to do a hard reset on the TV. So this is the infamous crotch grab.
Starting point is 00:43:36 Oh, she went from crotch to sniff. Yeah, you just don't see that done very often. Yeah, but when it comes to Rihanna, I feel like this is just what you have to expect like you're signed like this doesn't signed up for there bud if katie perry would have done this i think that would have registered more than rihanna doing it i expect i expect this behavior out of her she's bad would have done it hey she ain't bad girl riri for nothing that's bad girl she plays by her own rules and that's what i've always liked about her. She is...
Starting point is 00:44:05 She's great. I fucking love her. And this happens with every halftime performance because this is how they go, but they play a medley of their hits, and you'll start to hear one, like a song you really, really like, and then they just dump out of it real quick.
Starting point is 00:44:19 You're like, oh, I kind of want to hear a little bit more. Yeah, yeah. But that's fine. We got to get to Ponda replay or whatever. Is that it? The hysteria surrounding her possible pregnancy outweighed probably the scaling back that they had to do
Starting point is 00:44:34 in order to accommodate her pregnancy in terms of performance stuff. And that made it really fun. I think there's been more fun halftime shows out there. But it was so nice just hearing a medley of her hits just go crazy. Yeah, she's got a lot of them, and they flow quite well together. Some people at the viewing gathering that we held were like, ooh, I wonder if she's going to bring Calvin Harris out.
Starting point is 00:45:02 It got me thinking, what would he have done? Just walks out there, just kind of nods like, i'm also on this track not vocally but my name is on it so thanks guys it's not coming out no guests people people won't people won't go back retroactively and tell me how right i was when i said there's absolutely not going to be guests but i feel i feel happy with my assessment of the situation going into it. Good for you, man. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:45:28 Good for you. Did you see where she said she might bring a guest out and people are like, oh, I wonder who it'll be? It was the baby in her belly. Okay, that just landed for me. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Cool. I didn't even know she said that. Schlotzky's. She's pregnant asap rocky another kid in the mix that means that what's his nickname again pretty flaco no he's got another one like handsome motherfucker or something probably that i'm gonna look it up maybe it is that i don't know i kind of hope it is i mean he definitely goes by pretty flocco no i know he's i think he's got well yeah i got a text my mother-in-law asked at last night asking uh hey who is asap rocky i was like oh you mean pretty flocco no she meant handsome motherfucker pretty motherfucker so oh okay well that's actually it's pretty motherfucker that's not
Starting point is 00:46:23 a good nickname to be fair he is one pretty motherfucker it's a good nickname if people are calling you that it's too many so you don't want that nickname dave dave starts getting called pretty motherfucker he's like don't please don't call me that anymore disrespectful i didn't mind waiting uh 40 minutes for him to start his acl set that was a fun night it was his birthday he was having an uh it was his birthday he's having some group love allegedly they shouldn't have they shouldn't have allowed him to even perform on his birthday at acl that was never gonna go 20 minutes they did was really good though it was i mean he did play one song twice in the 20 minute set which is not ideal
Starting point is 00:46:58 happened to be one of the few that i knew well man you got i'm a little worried about rihanna and uh and him with the second child coming.

First thing, I get a text from Dave as I'm walking into the grocery store yesterday that my hometown's under attack. And suddenly, I see it's over Lake Huron.

And finally, we shot it down with a jet okay we waited till it got over the myrtle beach area over the water off the coast yeah off the coast of north carolina honestly chill sitch going and spying on myrtle beach you ever been

The object was, let me see, it looks like it's still unidentified. Yeah, but you can shoot down an unidentified flying object and then go find it to identify it. The object was, let me see, it looks like it's still unidentified. Okay. According to the little blurb I'm looking at. That seems sus to me. Moving forward, February 11th. Shall I keep going? Somebody call
Starting point is 00:50:56 2-1-1. Shall I keep going? Yeah. February 11th, a UFO is shot down over Canada. An American F-22 fighter downed this object on Saturday over the Yukon territory. Why are we out here patrolling the skies over Canada? Don't they have any fighter jets they can start putting their necks out with? I don't even think they have weapons up there, man.
Starting point is 00:51:15 All right. The object, which— They're just throwing saws in the air at UFOs? The object—that's so stupid. That's so stupid that's so stupid which canadian official described as cylindrical and smaller than the spy balloon was picked up on radar late friday as it passed over alaska shall i keep going yes i don't know why we would want you to stop february 12th which if you're not good with dates was yesterday today. Today's the 13th. Oh, shit. Tomorrow's Valentine's Day.
Starting point is 00:51:46 Facts. Shot down over Lake Huron. Your neck of the woods. Facts. It's up there. Which way is north? Yeah. This object first appeared over Montana on Saturday,

The object, which is flying at 20,000 feet, had an octagonal structure with strings hanging off but had no discernible payload. No payload. What does that mean? I know what it means, but like some people might not. So why don't you tell them, Dave? It's a load you pay for. Okay. Robert Kraft. National security officials on Sunday discounted the possibility that the object shot down over the weekend might have extraterrestrial origins however general glenn d van herk the commander of the air force's northern command said during a news conference i haven't ruled anything out at this
Starting point is 00:52:53 point y'all oh i added i added y'all i was not i could have headlined uh this we we could have you just did yeah you just did that so yeah, that's what's going on. China also claims to have shot down something over China. See, I think they're just being a little convenient. They're just being, like, annoying to us. Like, oh, yeah? Well, we just shot down something over here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:16 Oh, dang, it's happening to us, too. Oh, shoot. Oh, no, we're not doing anything sus with you guys. We have this happening over here. But really, how come? Why is it that these alien UFO stories are always over the US? It makes us look crazy. Because you live here and that's the media you consume.
Starting point is 00:53:35 If I lived in Guatemala, would we hear about shit there? Yeah. Probably. I don't know, man. I mean, I think this happens all over the world. It's been happening. What's your takeaway, Dave? What's going on?
Starting point is 00:53:50 What's going on? I think, I don't know, man. It's really weird because I feel like this stuff is always happening. Not us shooting them down and then publicizing it because that's obviously not always happening. down and then publicizing it because that's obviously not always happening but you you hear you know they recently in the last two years we've probably done this story five times because it comes out every few months like oh uh you know naval fighter pilots you know run into tic-tac object that defies gravity and goes under the water and shoots back up you're like wow that's weird so this stuff happens i mean if you go back to like the 50s after world war ii i mean there's there's um there's stories about ufos going over nuclear
Starting point is 00:54:32 facilities and like messing with the the components like and like being able to turn off and on like like somebody who's doing something we had had four UFOs shot down over the past nine days. Right. Okay. And we don't have evidence. We don't have physical evidence from any of these things that we shot down. I mean, all four things. No, we do, but it hasn't been released to the public.
Starting point is 00:54:55 Okay. As Dylan noted, there was no payload on one of them. You got to have a payload, Will. Don't you understand about a payload? I just don't see a scenario where we don't have a payload. I think it's easier for the government to claim UFO than it is to just be like, no, this is definitely China, definitely stealing our communications and definitely infringing on our personal freedoms.
Starting point is 00:55:15 Isn't it easier just to blame the aliens who we can't really totally grasp at this point? They're going to have to give us a little more than what they've given us for us to buy that. How are we going to have a Chinese balloon flying over our country, and then suddenly there's three more things that are floating over us that we have to shoot down, and we're supposed to believe that it's not China? Well, China famously said it was a weather balloon.
Starting point is 00:55:36 It just went rogue. The Pentagon is trying to obtain debris from each of the four shoot-downs in an effort to learn more about the craft's penetrating North American airspace. This was acknowledged by that Van Hurk fella I mentioned a minute ago.
Starting point is 00:55:52 What's taking so long? Go pick up the wreckage. Go get the debris for a grilled cheese later. That's a cheese joke. That's a cheese joke. What's taking so long, man? Go get the debris. Go find that debris, dog.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Don't they call you will to the breeze yeah do a courtesy flush one time i'm sorry do they have it what yes yes how do we recover that debris if it's up in canada do we need like a warrant we were working in conjunction with uh canadian forces on that one but yeah they need a rid of i don't know if we could just walk up there and be like yo can we can we scoop that debris that we just shot down over your country you hear about aliens like or potentially do you is your immediate reaction oh this is exciting or or is this this is scary like what do you where does your head reaction, oh, this is exciting or, or is this, this is scary? What do you, where does your head go?
Starting point is 00:56:46 I'd neither at this point. I think out of all, I think out of everyone in this room, I've become the least. You're too jaded. I've become the least convinced that aliens are as present or not. I'm not, I don't even mean aliens, UFOs. I've just become a, I've become a skeptic when it comes to all the UFO stuff over the last couple years. What about UFOs? of classifying certain things i think it's easier for it to be publicly deemed a ufo than it would be to be deemed uh something of an more of a national security risk
Starting point is 00:57:35 does that make sense like does that you understand what i'm trying to say um i think yeah i looked up payload oh you please i googled it the part of a vehicle's load especially in aircrafts from which revenue is derived passengers in cargo i still i'm not a hondo p on it but i kind of like it that way kind of like not really knowing okay um yeah mike we talked about this a little before we came we came on the air here um we didn't do that not together speak for yourself bud if these are i have not seen anything that says that these were moving in a way that like doesn't look like tech that we have currently as humans. Like you see that a lot with some of these reports where you see like something that's just like able to stop and start, go in different directions, no visible propulsion device and defies gravity, physics, whatever. Haven't seen that for these.
Starting point is 00:58:44 Now, maybe that's the case but if so is it weird that we were able to shoot them down like if they were of of another um if they were of you know alien right and not something that we've made as humans like could we do we have the tech to shoot something like that down we were talking about this earlier a little bit yeah we were we kind of started like pitching around different theories like maybe alien life form maybe they don't like fight each other like maybe they they think like oh we'll go down and check out these earthlings and you know why would we assume that they'd be aggressive toward us let's just go hang out above uh they hadn't done their research michigan yeah i got some news this was a yeah this was a a learning journey who freaking knows that income strapped up but here's my question isn't there
Starting point is 00:59:35 like a sentiment from the government it's like okay we don't want to freak people out so unless we're like completely sure that this is like alien life form let's just like shoot down any theories right from the off the bat like oh no this is a spy balloon or whatever it might be just like so people wouldn't like freak out yeah there's an element of that protecting you know from from nationwide panic but i don't know man it's it's very it's it's very weird and it's very weird how public they're being about it um so you're like well what what what's about to go down like what's next like what's the next shoe to drop so to speak are we shoot are they are we their shoes that are flying through that we have to shoot down
Starting point is 01:00:22 did they throw did they throw shoes at us, Dave? Yeah, some pumped up kicks. Okay. Do you ever have Reebok pumps? Man, those are sick. They didn't make me a better point guard in fourth grade, but they were very sick. They're so sick. In first grade, we got a new kid in class, and he got sat next to me, and he had Reebok pumps on. And so I was immediately like, fuck.
Starting point is 01:00:43 And he took your girl. I i was like that's pretty tight but i was also known in the class as like the kid who could draw the best so i like i kind of had that drip about me did you do a caricature i looked i looked over like first hour like looking over him i'm like are you fucking kidding me dude like you're this good at drawing like not like what do i have anymore dude he just killed me he just killed me he buried you yeah it was tight it was i can't wait to tell y'all his name after this podcast too because like i was just on blast wait was it the native baller no no no not native ball do you think this is some level of retribution potentially for what people like dylan did when he went to Area 51 that one time. Because we haven't forgotten, Dylan. It was a good trip, man.
Starting point is 01:01:28 We had a lot of fun. Saw a lot of crazy shit. Yeah, you did. Yeah. If we don't have some identification on these unidentified flying objects within the next 48 to 72 hours, I'm going to be a little annoyed
Starting point is 01:01:39 because I think we deserve to know. Dude, can you imagine Sleepy Joe getting up there and explaining this dude he did not sign up for this shit he's got to go up there it's hard enough for like just something regular he's gotta go up there and talk about unidentified flying objects and the origins of and it's just like oh god he'd probably rather do that than talk about insurrections and shit though at this point he's like i don't know how about sleepy joe dude dude okay here's the here's a theory i have you know how like they're finding classified documents and like all these like you know presidents vice presidents like everyone's got their classified documents do you think
Starting point is 01:02:19 pence had zero and then he was like hold on i gotta get one classified document just so they find one single one don can you send me one of those, man? Can you get me one? Crap, you got me two. They're gonna think I'm fucking lame if I don't have one. Everyone else has got one. You gotta have something. Having one single classified document is just weird. You just had an affinity for that one.
Starting point is 01:02:37 He's like, no, give me that. Should've got that. A lot of classified docs getting mishandled. If I was president at some point, I would 100% steal some documents. Wouldn't you? Which ones would you steal? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:02:51 I don't know. But I would definitely do it because you're at a dinner party and you have a new friend over and you're like, want to go do something not a lot of people go get to do? Want to see some shit?
Starting point is 01:02:59 Want to go look at some classified documents? Hell yeah. Could leverage that. Maybe sell out your own country like saudi arabia or something much like you do with ai tools leverage it like it's an ai tool fun episode man i was just getting started how big is ai's tool okay what that's it's not even the horniest thing we've talked about today. That's out of bounds. Come on, man. Yeah, but he stepped back over some dude to get back in.
Starting point is 01:03:32 Tyronn Lue, man. Famously. Yeah. Underrated coach. Sure. My estimation. Hey, that was fun. So do we do...
Starting point is 01:03:44 Man, does that mean we don't do alien stuff tomorrow what are we going to do more on it i mean i mean do people want more like tomorrow touching based mine will not be about aliens tomorrow they're gonna want mine i'm thinking about pivoting i'm out on aliens there be honestly i'm not aliens if you're listening aliens just come see us it's stop being sus and just flying over us stop stop being out there just doing your thing. Come see us. Come through. Come knock on my door. Why are they being so dramatic?
Starting point is 01:04:08 Yeah. We see you. Aliens are a little choogy, don't you think? I think because they saw all the booty chatter about what we wanted to do at Area 51. Like, we're not going down there. They saw the memes. No, they saw the memes. They saw the memes and they were like, hmm.
Starting point is 01:04:24 Oh, clapping cheeks cheeks earth looks fun did you have any thoughts like last night like since this stuff was happening like man this would be a great opportunity if they like put one of these things up over the super bowl middle of the desert and then we shot it down when it was on its way i mean i was wondering we had the jets Jets scrambled. Fly over. Did you see the fly over? Scrambling Jets is a fun term. Let's scramble the Jets. It's very chaotic, but it's not. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:52 It's Prince Harry just sprinting back as soon as he hears back that ass up, running back to the plane. Yeah. Only true internet fiends will know that. I know that one. Juvenile. Didn't you have some flyover takes you wanted to issue yeah it's just like oh because it's the all all woman team is that why is that you set me up for
Starting point is 01:05:13 that it's your take you tell us i don't have a take i thought that was a great moment you're saying something about how it's just a waste of government money sally i said i was like oh all women fly over that's awesome and sally goes yeah but Twitter's already shitting on them for all being white. She's like, so. The cool moment went away because everyone on the internet can't just let it be. Did they not pan to the flyover? Like, it was so quick. And I know it's a flyover, but I felt like they didn't get enough out of that flyover.
Starting point is 01:05:39 Yeah, sometimes you have to worry about the flyover. Sometimes, like, have you ever been at a game where they do it too late? Yeah, it's kind of embarrassing. Yeah, it's not good. Do you prefer the, what were those, those F-22s? I don't know, F-16s? That style where it's, you know, fairly quick? Or something like a B-2, something that just goes over a little slower?
Starting point is 01:06:00 No, I want it to rock my shit, man. You do? Oh, yeah. Or like a Blackhawk helicopter. You do? Oh, yeah. I want my hair to stand up. No, I prefer a jet to a chopper. You can do the chopper. I've only been at one game where someone flies in, where they parachute in.
Starting point is 01:06:17 That's cool. That was pretty sweet. Yeah, that's cool. They did that at the, it was either Texas LSU or Texas TCU. One of the two. It was awesome. We're doing that for college football games. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:30 America. America. Throw them at that. Just like Delta Force repels in. That's sick. That is sick. Delta 8 Force. Oh, that's raining more than ever.
Starting point is 01:06:46 All right. Let's go talk payload out there. Yeah. Can you explain to us one more time, Dylan, what payload is? Bye. you
