Circling Back - Rizzing Up Egyptian Geese in the Heat Dome

Episode Date: December 4, 2023

With Dave out getting bladder botox, we ran a two-man booth to talk about everything: origami on cocktails, The Best Saturday of the Year, territorial Egyptian geese ratcheting things up at Will's place, the words of the year from Oxford, a horrendous mid-movie theater Taco Bell incident, and some answers to questions posed in this week's Washed Weekly newsletter.

all right we're back circling back podcast coming to you live from austin texas washed media headquarters baby my name's will to freeze to my right mr dylan shivery man wow thank you will very happy to be here uh decided to check well she was on the tl checked in with my favorite ai model melisofia and she posted a picture um in a bathing suit but like outdoors like in the snow it's very cold in Norway and is she physically in Norway or digitally in Norway here's the thing people are concerned that you're going to catch a cold because she's in a bathing suit outdoors in a very cold environment of course they you know you get your your typical like oh you look so sexy but then

it's like people are like concerned like you should probably go inside and put a robe on or something. Maybe she's in a hot tub situation, and she's just doing a quick pose before she gets back in. Again, she's not a real thing. She's just created artificially. So she's probably not going to get sick is my point here. But it's fun. It's fun for everybody.

What, Randy? Randy's got something to say. She might not catch a cold, but she could get a virus. Get the laugh. You got the laugh track. Oh, I'm pressing it, and it's weirdly just not working right now. Yeah, it's just not working. It's okay.

I know people at home are just cracking up. Yeah, I don't know. Like, I'm pressing it. Usually it works, but I'm pressing it. Like a computer virus, Will, you see? Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

I enjoyed it, Randy. That was good. Thank you. That was some good nerd humor for the people out there. We are running a two-man booth today. Dave is out. He saw how much the armpit Botox was working for me, and so he finally went in, and he's getting his bladder Botox done.

Yeah, his is a little bit more invasive, though, because they had to go inside and do it. Yeah. They had to cut them open. He just got so sick of taking Tinkies mid-pod that we finally said, hey, man, why don't you just take some time off, go get it corrected, and come back and be better. Right. Yeah. We're going to miss him. We will. We will. He'll come back with a better bladder. Before we get into anything today, today's episode is presented by our good friends

over at Alfa Romeo. We've talked about this Tenale at length. We love these things. If you haven't seen an Alfa Romeo Tenale, go check it out. These things are all new. They're loaded with tech. They got large touchscreen. They got the safety tech, automatic emergency braking. But more than anything, these things are just simply fun to drive. If you ever know about Alfa Romeo performance, you know that these things kind of zip and whip, dude. They're great. They have different driving modes to choose from. Maybe you want to get a little sporty with it. You were trying to find the sicko mode, but it just was nowhere to be found. Yeah, I went to the sport mode instead.

Plug-in hybrid, it's a great vehicle. Very nice inside and out as well. Learn more about these at alfaromeousa.com. Again, you can learn more about the Alfa Romeo Tonale at alfaromeousa.com. Go check it out. Okay. What? the alfa romeo tonale at alfa romeo usa.com go check it out okay what okay i'm fun it's a big sigh over there i thought you're about to drop some i had one of those mornings where like i get up see it's 5 30 get a nice tank off like a nice tank off yeah okay um i was gonna check the tl if it was earlier so i could say like real podcaster hours at like 3 a.m or something but i just couldn't do that but it was one of those things where it's like man i'm pretty awake i think i'm just gonna ride this out

from 5 30 today really yeah how do you feel i mean fine fine when you have like what i've learned is that since having a second kid that like that you're always just kind of baseline, like kind of tired. Like not really. I'm not like exhausted all the time, but just kind of tired all the time. Well, I don't mean to flex on you, but got up, Parks set his alarm and got up on his own and he was ready to go to school by the time I rolled out of bed. It was awesome.

Dude, that's kind of annoying that my two-month-old doesn't do that. You should maybe teach him a thing or two. It was sick, man. Took him to school school got a workout in i'm ready right-eyed bushy-tailed it's gonna be a good it's content week too by the way i don't know if you realize that did you do full body friday on a monday no today was chest and uh core day really yeah you need to hit those pretty like pretty hard honestly pop top show you well i've just been thinking that for a while now like you just need to hit that a little harder you have you're just now sharing that with me yeah yeah you're kind of in chess luge territory stop dude you're not no why you know i'm a chess guy are you yeah i feel like you've become more

of an arm guy no well thank you for saying that i disagree ours i was never gonna be that big it's not i'm not built for it chest man that's my thing i'm just beard guy you want to come cop a feel i just don't have any i don't have any physical attributes that contain muscles that like people default like oh yeah he's like the he's the hamstring guy you don't know what would happen if you started throwing some iron around. The biggest question mark around what would grow on my body would be my arms. Because I've never put any effort into my arms. But they're so perfectly tiny. Why would I?

Some people, like your arms will just explode if you give them a little bit of work. It happens, dude. I just don't know if I'm that type of person. You don't know. What if? Should I start doing push-ups every morning? Yeah. How many?

Just like 500. I don't think I have the time or strength for that. I think I could do like 30. Not at once. I'd have to take a break. You start at 30. Then you'll be doing 50 before you know it. And then who knows?

Y'all would be calling me out for not going all the way to to the floor yeah it's okay eventually you'll hit the what's so funny randy you probably do them on his knees there's no shame in people doing on their knees randy some people just don't have the upper upper arm strength and they need that extra extra help when people are trying to better themselves we don't shame them for it ever do some push-ups right now i'm not doing push-ups right now we don't have the camera angle unfortunately i would do it if we had the camera i could do i could change the angle of a camera and i could have you do push-ups i will never do push-ups on camera without getting clearance from someone beforehand off camera that i'm doing the proper push-up you know what i mean

like i'm never just going to drop to the ground because that's just opening myself up to get absolutely roasted by everybody it's trueusing to do push-ups. Real GDI hours over here. I'll do it not on camera. If we don't have a push-up contest, like a cabin or something. I feel like I used to be so much better at push-ups than I am now. I don't know what happened to me. Your arms got tiny.

Remember I told you how I saw that dude bust ass on a unicycle the other day? Yeah, will you just tell the story? Oh, my God. I was walking Stella on the hike and bike trail in Austin, obviously. Just to think that someone's on a unicycle on the hike and bike trail is funny enough. This dude was cooking. Like, he was going really fast. I mean, this wasn't a small thing.

So was he getting like a workout in on this unicycle? Is that like how fast he was going? He was dressed in biz cash. He had a tie on. That's like how he gets to work, maybe? Did he have his shirt hanging from the unicycle so it didn't get wrinkled no so this dude is like biz cash right like he's got slacks on button down he's got a tie no coat and he's he's going probably 20 miles per hour on a unicycle this this was like um i don't want to say like a mountain unicycle thick tire thick tire and it was but the jacked up uni with a lift kit the wheel was probably

four to five feet tall okay big okay right and so he's cooking he's you know and still i'm he's right he's we're about to cross paths and he kind of looks over his shoulder like he's cooking. He's, you know, and so he's right. We're about to cross paths. And he kind of looks over his shoulder like he's distracted by something and looks back. And he starts to, you could tell his weight distribution was just. Got the speed wobbles? It was awry. And he got the speed wobbles.

And he just, he aged it and went right over the top of this big ass wheel and just face planted into the end of the gravel what's tough is that when you're the unicycle guy you know that all eyes are on you no matter what like so like you're you're commanding attention by being the unicycle guy and when you fall before you even get up you know that every single person is looking at you like that dude just fell off his unicycle you don't learn unicycle because it's like a good way to get around town you do it because it's like oh i'm the unicycle guy people are gonna look at me so you got to be damn good at it if you're gonna take it out in public he got up and he was so embarrassed this nice lady went up and like to check say are you okay sir he's like yeah i haven't done that in a long time and kind of just

like embarrassingly laughed it off and got back on and rolled away what was the age range of this guy uh 45 to 50 oh okay that's that's older than i would expect do we think he can juggle yeah yeah yeah he he and randy have probably crossed paths somewhere some kind of group some like origami something or i don't know is there a sillier mode of transportation than a unicycle no it's it's so silly do they make motorized unicycles like the skateboards that like have the motors on them and stuff like that because like i could see that actually i could see that catching on surely there's something like that yeah it was it was a tough scene for this guy but he he owned it he got up dust himself off checked his pants

for any scrapes or anything and any holes you know he it was tough man but yeah like there's a there's a reason why we added that second wheel a long time ago it's just it's easier you know yeah two wheels i mean when i was when i got my speed wobbles two months ago almost exactly on the skateboard for the first time since i was like a teenager i was just going down the this hill and i was fast approaching a guy sitting on a bench and the guy was looking at the water, the complete opposite direction of where I was going. I thought I was going to barrel into this dude and just completely ruin his day. Luckily he had headphones on and couldn't hear me jump off the board, probably making like squealing noises and just hitting

my feet on the ground, stomping so loud. Like that guy, I would have just jarred that guy, but he was just rocking some uh airpods just cruising just enjoying his uh view not many feelings more helpless than a speed wobble situation it's like nothing there's nothing you know it's really hard to recover from them i had to fill out a form the other day for barrett's bachelor party where we had to fill out like our level of ski prowess and i was like dude i think i think i can put that i'm like really good yeah but then it was like what package do you want of sk. And I was like, dude, I think I, I think I can put that. I'm like really good. Yeah. But then it was like, what package do you want of skis? And I was like, I'm not going to do like the top performance package. Like I don't need that. That seems

unnecessary. But you got to get it just to, just to let people know that you are capable. No. Cause I don't want to, I want to be out there. I want to be out there just taking nice, easy turns. I'm not trying to get top performance. I'm not trying to break any speed records. What's the ski level of the group? I don't, so not to expose anybody, but I have some concerns because there were only four people that had put anything in there. And one of them was a level three snowboarder, which is a good, good sign. And the other two people were like level, I think one.

And I was like, okay, so I'm probably not going to hang with you. Skiers or boarders? I think skiers. I'm going to be hanging with urchins the entire time, though. Like, I don't want to do that. Yeah, you need to step away. Get the real skiers. No, I think my vibe is actually more snowboarder.

Yeah, I can see that. You're a sky, though, like through and through. I don't know what that means. Are you serious? A sky? Dude, watch Johnny Tsunami one time. Okay, if you're going to put this on your classic movie list dude you gotta just watch johnny tsunami once okay maybe i will but uh gaper is the term that i know well in in johnny tsunami they have the skies and the urchins

urchin is my urchin you're good or bad urchin just means that you're either a snowboarder or you are just someone that i think i think mainly you're a snowboarder in that movie, but I also just think it means you're one of the poor people from their town. That's really what it means. Okay. Yeah. It's more of a class situation. There's a lot of nuances to this film.

That's kind of sick. Yeah. Yeah. If you want to plug to that film, I think I can probably find someone that has it. Wish I was going, man. You guys are going to have fun. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see.

I mean, I'm one injury away from just being laid up in Colorado for three days. Are y'all going to be there during the natty? No, dude. So that's the thing. I might have to fly back into Houston to watch Michigan play Texas in the natty. Oh, shit. Didn't think about that. That would be awesome if that happened.

I mean, your boy's feasting. I pretty much have guaranteed one team in the natty right now. Yeah. It's either Michigan or Bama and then Texas. I'm guaranteed one team in the natty right now. Yeah. It's either Michigan or Bama and then Texas. I'm getting one team in. Not a lot of people are in this position right now. It's convenient to have a few good teams. Blue Bloods.

No, dude. You can't call them good because Bama's underrated. Michigan, everyone thinks that they've just been stealing calls. Texas has stunk the last 15 years. Exactly, dude. So I would actually say that I have some terrible teams, you know? Well, you got lucky then. Before we get to today's episode, we've got some major stuff to talk about.

I had a lot of fun. Dinner was great. We even went to Kelly's Irish Pub afterward and got two Guinnesses each. Exactly two.

Two Guinai. Exactly two. Yes. Had so much fun. Saturday, top five day of the year for me. I did very little i woke up made some coffee watched texas win the big 12 championship by nice margin looked very strong in doing so uh took stella on a walk i ordered taco deli to be delivered i just okay what's the order i did two autos okay and i did chips and queso and a diet coke wow diet mexican coke is what they have there and it was they make that it hit i

didn't know they made diet mexican coke they have yeah uh what's that brand of of soda that they have their uh root main root whatever the hippie one yeah and it's good and then i watched um you know the the afternoon games that was fun i then i watched the the worst slash most entertaining football game maybe of all time in louisville in florida state the worst quarterback play i think i've ever seen um beyond like the middle school level it was so entertaining if i if if i will defreeze can sit there and laugh at how bad the quarterback play is, you know it's bad. Yeah.

I like seeing quarterbacks drop back and throw it into the line, though. It was hilarious how terrible it was. I burned probably 12 calories on Saturday. I thought you were going to end that sentence early. I guess I did take Stella on the walk walk so that's kind of a lie but um i aside from the walk i didn't leave my couch and it was just an excellent an excellent evening fucking love it was a great saturday to do absolutely yeah sunday got parks back i took him and his uh three of his buddies to this place called epic fun the name of it stinks but it's

like an arcade they have is there a crazy event happening? They have a laser tag and rock climbing and all that shit. They have bumper cars. It's a cool spot. So shout out to Real Back who sent me the gift card for that, by the way. If you walked into that place and you saw Randy just like hitting kids with the go-kart, would you be that surprised? No, I wouldn't.

Randy would enjoy that place. It's like half off on sunday mornings and randy's just in there just crushing people i like epic things i like fun things that's true sounds perfect and then i've got to mention sunday of course the um college football playoff show announcement texas is going to the uh the playoffs man playing how's it feel dylan you've been you've been up and down on this team all year, and I feel like you're now in a territory where you're kind of feasting. Yeah, I was telling you earlier, like a few weeks ago, I would have told you, like, all right, Texas, the record's good,

but, you know, the second, like the latter half of the season, they're not playing that well. They seem to be kind of declining a little bit. It's like, okay, if they win the Big 12, I'll be extremely happy. Like that sounds, that kind of feels like the, if they win the Big 12, I'll be extremely happy. That kind of feels like the ceiling for this team. And so playoff berth would just be a bonus. Texas, the last two weeks, has looked so strong. And I feel not only happy to be here, but I feel like Texas has a decent shot at winning the whole thing. Okay, we talked this out this morning. Sal and I looked for

tickets. We looked for plane tickets yesterday, and they were selling out so quickly that I think they were just denying you from buying them so they could raise prices. They were just canceling. It was just a bitch. Got it. But we were just doing it on Southwest

just to have, just in case. And then as things started to kind of unravel, we realized, yeah, we're not going to this game. Was any part of you thinking you were going to try to hit this game in New Orleans? It's New Orleans, dude. It's like the best case going to this game did it was any part of you thinking you were going to try to hit this game in uh in new orleans it's new orleans dude it's like the best case scenario for this game i hadn't thought a ton about it because i don't know who i would go with yeah yeah gotta find a friend to go with or some or maybe take parks i don't know if he would really i mean you can't take parks out to bourbon street or anything but um no i haven't i haven't put a ton of thought

into it don't let parks piss i know he likes pissing outside. Don't let him piss on Bourbon Street. I'm not completely, you know, throwing away the opportunity. I mean, I might consider finding some tickets. If they go to the National Championship, will you be going to NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas? I will see what I can do. I will definitely be interested in going to that game. Sally already sent a text to Brett saying,

what sponsor can send us a national championship? That's a good text. He said he's going to work on it. That's a good text. He said he's going to work on it. Yeah. So, yeah, I'm very happy. I'm very excited.

Yeah, I don't know. It feels a little bit surreal at the moment. Texas has come a long way in just a couple years since Sark took over. You know what? I haven't said Texas. I'm not even going to say it. You know, Texas rhymes with hack. I haven't said that all season long.

Are you sure? I have. So if I searched your Twitter right now and I searched D. Chivry, Texas is back, I wouldn't see any tweets? I'm checking right now. Has Texas recovered from Ellinger saying that they're back? Maybe. When they beat that Georgia team that had no skin in the game

because they missed out on the playoff? The last time I tweeted it was before the season. Before the season. Okay. What will it take for them to be fully back? Only a natty? What if they make it to the natty?

What do you mean, only a natty? Oh, you mean like that's like the only thing that could? Okay. If they get to the national championship game, will they officially be back? If they just curb – if they frat stomp Washington. Right. Like is that considered back? Like you're in the natty against a big school.

They cursed on Washington, and they'll be 13-1 in playing for natty. Yeah, I'd say that puts them in the back territory. But I won't say that until the natty has concluded, or if Texas loses to Washington, I might sneak one in there. But it's been a hell of a season, man. I kind of wish Dave was here to undercut your Texas fandom right now. I'm glad he's not. He would bring me back down to earth real quick.

Like, what about the last 10 years, man? Like, yeah, I know. It wasn't good, Dave. I get it. Anyway, man, what about your weekend? Big. Just a big weekend. You and I got to have the absolute pleasure of sharing a meal of sushi and other dishes together.

of sharing a meal of sushi and other dishes together. We really got to get the benefit of me having a wife who makes way too many reservations in life and cancels them at the last minute. And that was a beautiful situation. We had numerous reservations to choose from, and we chose a new restaurant downtown called Uchiba. You guys have heard us talk about Uchiko. This is the sexier downtown location.

I actually thought of you, Randy. I arrived a little early. My Uber did something that never happens with my Uber. It was right at my place when I ordered it. So I had to pretty much just go right downstairs and I knew I was going to be about 10 minutes early to this dinner. That doesn't sound like me at all, but anyways, continue. No, that's not you. You're late to literally everything. And so I got to the restaurant about 10 minutes early. They told me to go take a seat in the cocktail lounge, which was just a bench outside. And I ordered a drink called the paper crane. Called the paper crane. Pay attention to this next part. Okay. I didn't really think much of it. It had whiskey in it. I didn't know what the other stuff in it was. So I was like, whatever,

I'm going to drink this. They brought me my drink, Randy. It was in a martini glass, like a coupe glass almost, not a sexy martini glass, more classic. And on the edge of the glass sat a origami crane. Paper crane? How about that? It was so swag. That is swag. So swag. That is swag.

Is that in your repertoire? Can you do a crane? If I watched a video, I would be able to. I used to be able to. Okay. Fair enough. Okay. Okay. And yeah, obviously Kelly's Irish Pub was in the mix. watched a video i would be able to i used to be able to okay fair enough okay okay and yeah obviously kelly's irish pub was in the mix like the cork county boys are just going crazy county cork boys as we say it back home dave stinks at the guinness game dave is too aggressive

during the guinness game i thought he was just gonna finish his whole beer there's so much yeah like what are you doing dog i like how guinness is never gonna sponsor us because they don't need to, because we just do free content all the time. That's right. Yeah. I had a beautiful situation transpire on Saturday. I already had really big ambitions of sitting on the couch literally all day doing nothing. I had some footy to watch, but I also had some American football to watch. So I was just, I already had an embarrassment of riches. Then I went to the front door and I saw a giant box sitting there. I tried to lift it up and I was like, what is this? This must be something sponsored. I don't know what this is. Something that Brett didn't tip me off of. I opened this box and what do I see? I see a gigantic,

gigantic collection of records from the band Goose. Something I had ordered months ago as a pre-order. And I was like, okay, well now I have like this giant box set and I'm just going to listen to this all day. Wait, how many records were in this set? Like 10, I think. Wow. Huge. I remember when I got it, I was like, man, this is kind of a dumb purchase, but like, I really do want this and all their other live stuff on vinyl is really expensive. So I did it. But like, I didn't, when you order something, it's kind of like booking a trip, like way in advance, you kind of forget that you paid for it and then you get it. And I was just like, oh man, like this is like a Christmas gift to myself. And I just got to go sit around and do it. It was

great. Having a vacation paid for months in advance. It feels like the vacation is free when it finally does arrive. It's great. When Sal and I did our last Europe trip, we paid for it all like a year in advance. And when we got there, I thought I had some stuff that I had to pay for. And the realization that I didn't have to put my credit card down for any hotels or anything, I was just like, oh, my God, like this is truly a free vacation for me right now. So I was just riding a high. As we said, three teams in the college football playoff. Like we're just absolutely thriving.

And then, you know, your boy had to switch up his hair game this weekend. No, I didn't. i didn't go oppo i thought about going oppo with it but my hair doesn't really go oppo very well yeah you just did it doesn't go right now maybe it's new hair stuff dude it's just it's great i want i want oppo once like a year ago it felt really weird did you go out and do it yeah that's fucking i stepped out for din din you climbed it yeah well i i decided so i'm going through a bunch of hair changes right now my hair's never been longer than it is right now got a lot going on and i ran out of my hair stuff recently i was devastated oh i get it for half price from our uh the girl who cuts our hair but i usually have to tell her like a little in advance hey i need this stuff and i didn't have an appointment i didn't have anything so i decided to go online and buy some

Just in my Rough Rider clay era.

Welcome to the clay life. Dude, my hair, I've never had a better hair weekend than I had this weekend. My hair was falling in all the right places. It was never out. Like even when it was out of sorts and stuff, I looked at myself in the mirror. I was like, ooh, I look like chicly messy right now. The brand I use is Statement. It's a clay.

Okay. I was a clay boy before I moved down here. It's a matte finish. No big deal. Yeah, this one doesn't have a lot of sheen or brilliance to it it's kind of just on the lower end of that spectrum with a kind of a you know a good hold this is non-spawn by the way no no but dude it's kind of weird how much this has changed like my entire like feeling about myself i feel like a different person when i have my hair with different stuff in it i also went about a week with nothing in it and i hated it yeah like i just i just got lazy and didn't want to buy anything and going a week without your normal like hair product just feels

like you're just like raw dog in reality i didn't know they made gel still i thought it was just a thing of the past what's what people still have people have different types of hair dylan i haven't seen it in a minute though you're not even a rough rider dude you're right you're not a rough rider that was my weekend of fun i just did my hair alone in my apartment that sounds sick yeah it was fucking lit dude uh this morning i woke up and i saw something devastating oh i woke up i did my normal morning routine i wake up i go into my kitchen start to make some coffee a little bing bing bong for the boys and my wife. And I looked over at my AuraFrame and it said, poor connection. And I realized, oh, my internet's out. And I was like, hold on, it's still scrolling through all my photos. This is amazing. How's it doing this?

But I was like, what's going on thing's this thing's just built absolutely different then i realized yeah because it's an aura frame dude i reset my internet it was all back and nothing even changed this thing was just absolutely trucking through it making all my photos look beautiful pairing them perfectly together in a way that i was like oh my god the juxto right here is just crazy right the juxto you know how i told you i just gifted one of these to my dad for his birthday the other day we got parks's school picture in and we have a digital copy of it so you know you don't do whatever anyway i just i still have i'm like my dad's frame is still in my app i just added it to his thing i didn't even tell him i did that's what's up he's gonna be in his kitchen like just hanging out making coffee like oh shit new parks new parks pic just dropped yeah you gave him the

you gave him the gift of a jpeg these things are amazing it's so easy to add pics i love these five seconds there's no better time to get it on or frames in december like i mean it's it's probably the best gift you could ever give somebody it really is like people i love this thing the parent like for your parents there's not a better, yeah. No, no. I don't even know what we covered in the copy that we were supposed to cover right now, but I'm just telling you, this thing is built absolutely different. Well, you mentioned the juxto. Yeah. Well, dude, that's the thing. Everyone takes so many photos these days with their phone up and down and not side by side that I was

worried. But the way that it pairs the photos together and the way that the photos look when they're side by side, I almost prefer it this way. That algo goes crazy. But then when I get the surprise, like big shot, I'm like, oh, we're living. We're living. That's what's up.

I omitted this for my weekend in fun because this is not fun. Uh-oh. Nor did it happen this weekend. Okay. I think it was on a Patreon episode where I told the story of a man who was feeding the geese next door to our place. You confronted the man.

Not only did I, yeah, I confronted this man. Do I need to retell part of the story in order to set the scene? You scared the life out of him. These geese were getting fed by my place. A backer told me that these geese were an invasive species. Egyptian geese, if you want to Google it. Actually, Dylan, will you Google Egyptian geese right now? Because I'm going to have you read some of the questions that people Google

about these things. So I've been struggling with these geese for a while. They procreated. They had about, you know, eight babies, chicks. I don't know what you'd call them. And they all grew up.

They all growns up now and they flew away. But I was very confused because somebody was giving these geese a ton of food down at our place. And then they were putting a bunch of creamed corn

out by the side of the docks. And I was like, what's going on here? Why, like, why is there creamed corn down here? This is a targeted attack. Now I start to, now I'm starting to get some conspiracy theories going. Well, as it turns out, uh, I, I spotted the guy feeding the geese and this was not like a neighbor. This was just some random dude in a Prius. And I was like, Hey man, why, what are you doing? Why are you feeding these geese?ese tried to kill him with a little kindness had a smile on my face and he gave me like a really attitude-filled answer he was like i'm trying to kill him like joking around did you mention how much cream corn he had he had double barrel cream corns and anytime you see someone walking around in public with two cans of cream corn that are completely

like open do you your your gears start to take a little bit also strange that he was in a vehicle so he didn't live close enough to just walk over and do it like he got in his car with two cans of cream corn and drove to the lake four cans he went back for more he went back for more it it's not a normal thing i finally told him after he gave me all this attitude and told me that he was trying to kill them uh that was like, well, you have a really weird demeanor about you. And then that kind of set things – I've never told someone that in person before. And so actually telling someone that was a very foreign and weird feeling because it's a strange thing to tell someone. I don't remember that part of the story.

I told him. I was like, it's very – your demeanor is unsettling. Like I don't know what's going on right now. And it all ended with him driving off. I've never seen this guy again in my entire life. And I've also never seen any creamed corn spread around there. So I thought the problem was gone. I thought we were going to be done with these geese.

Well, the geese have become territorial. I'm now at war with these geese in in a way that i never anticipated i thought they were just going to be pooping around everywhere i thought these geese were just going to be kind of honking randomly no now these things are not only like approaching uh you know everyone down there these things are directly looking at me and just like approaching me honking at me and trying to chase me out they know that they know that you're the guy who ran off the cream corn guy. That's the thing.

Like, are they hungry? I don't really know. And like this morning, I'm out there with Rosie. They start going at Rosie. And then if Rosie gives them one look, these things kind of, they kind of turn a little bit. But I can see them growing with confidence right now. You need to take one out in front of its friends.

Dude, they're protected. They are? Apparently, they're protected. This invasive species is protected i guess that's what i read online today i don't have it in me to kill one of these things are you kidding i know i know that you wouldn't do that and so i started looking it up and i was like how do you get rid of these things like if you when you googled egyptian geese like there are a bunch of questions there that are like how do i get rid of these what's the deal

with these there's a question that says is this an invasive bird um and it's it says yes but only uncertain it says in arkansas and many other southeastern states egyptian geese a known pest and invader in europe are increasing in abundance and distribution so it's a little gray um i don't it sounds like they are somewhat invasive, though. What is the problem with Egyptian geese? Occasionally, they will feed on insects, frogs, and worms. Economical impacts. Egyptian geese have been observed to cause significant damage in suburban areas, such as parks. Feeding damage in feces can be a major problem.

So just poop and devastation of the crop yeah it's everything you want well so one of my biggest issues now isn't even like if you get past the idea that i have these invasive species that are now trying to run me out of my own like domicile like that's one thing but now i have a bigger issue that i'm dealing with this is a very public place it's a public boat launch There's several buildings around where people can look out their window while they're drinking their coffee in the morning and they can see what's going on at the park. You know, there's people walking by all the time. We've got road bikers. I won't even get started on the epidemic of people in Austin, Texas, who are runners, who are now just running in the street, not even on the sidewalk or in the bike lane. They're just

running in the street for some reason as if they're like whatever now i have to deal with the idea of my neighbors seeing me running away from these geese every day or like like doing this you know what i mean like i have to do one of these these can be little man they can run up on you but it's not a good look to be scared of like a a bird that doesn't eat meat you know but now i have my neighbors just seeing me looking soft like trying to stick my dog on them but if they go for rosie though that's a problem you have to intervene yeah but they go for they go towards her because they know that she's a non-threat she should be a threat i think they know now after a year they're like nah nah i'm fucking these things up oh man what do i do i don't know do i do i need to feed it like i mean i could do the

alka-seltzer trick but like i don't want to blow these things up or get caught. I think you got to let them know who's the alpha. You got to do something. I'm not saying kill one of them, but maybe you run up at them and try and scare them off. I saw someone say online that they used an airsoft gun to get them out of their backyard, and then I was like, I can't be the dude

just unloading my blicky of airsoft into these geese. Maybe you just backhand one of them in front of its friends you know i just choke one out maybe don't kill it though just scare it a little bit just hold it up like you know i could kill you right now if i wanted i don't know if they speak english they speak they're from egypt dude but he'll get okay then how'd they fly all the way over here from egypt that's what i don't get either i know right it's a long way they got to cross the whole ocean to get here do you think they like do shifts i don't know man like hop on a boat for a few minutes if anyone out there has

any egyptian geese problems that they've solved in their life i'd like to know have you googled like how to yeah people say my goose problem one guy just said i had to get on job and just shoo him away for four straight days and i was like i can't just sit at my park and just shoo him away for four days. I feel like the city needs to confront this. But I can't be the dude calling 311 complaining about geese.

That's not a good look. That's a soft move. That's soft. But no one's going to know you're doing it. I know. I'm trying to get... I just want these

to bother someone else, not me, not your boy. Is there any kind of animal protection service that... There's got to be. I don't know, man. But now I'm starting

to have this theory that the guy that was feeding him creamed corn, he was having issues at his place, and so he lured him of it's that there's gotta be i don't know man but now i'm starting to have this theory that like the guy that was feeding him creamed corn like he was having issues at his place and so he lured him all down to this area and then he was just spreading it maybe he lives half a mile down the i still can't get over the fact that the guy had a magnet on the bottom of his water bottle and he just like thought it was the swaggiest thing of all time he pretended to drive off after i had my words with him and he put the he put the water bottle on top of his car so that other people around would be like, oh, you got a water bottle. And he was like, no.

Stuck it on the side of the car, and it was just sitting there. Purple dick. I'm very confident that that guy gets no chicks. That guy probably has a unicycle that he rides around the trail. Maybe it was the guy who fell. Major recumbent bike vibes. Yes. Like, ask me about my bike that I can lay down in, dude.

Yeah. Those are for old folks all right i guess but if you see like a young person in a recumbent but it's it's like what why are you riding this get the big orange flag sticking out the back you ever do that at the gym when you're like hung over it's like i'm just gonna go sit on the recumbent bike and move my feet for like 10 minutes no i see people do it at their like their home office they just like do it all day while they're working i just don't i can't see myself ever becoming a home office like stand-up desk person or like the people that have the walking thing my sister-in-law is the walking thing what is that it's like a tread it's like a little tiny treadmill that you just walk while you're doing stuff wait what yeah if you randy knows yeah So they just have a treadmill at their desk, and they just stand and do work.

I have never, I mean, I'm not surprised that exists, but wow, I've never heard of it. Which sister-in-law? Emily. Does she really? Yeah. I don't think she uses it very often, but she has one of them. That's crazy.

I was kind of interested by it. Is it just a regular treadmill, or is it like? It's just like a tiny little treadmill thing. That's hilarious. You just walk, and you just, yeah. I feel like I... It's just like a tiny little treadmill thing. That's hilarious. You just walk and you just, yeah. I feel like I got to make fun of her when I see her. I don't think she actually uses it.

This is one of those things that if you buy, it's like a Peloton. Like use it for a little bit and then you get tired of it. That's funny. Shout out to my Peloton that's sitting there though collecting dust. Hell yeah. Yeah, here you go. Here you go, Dylan.

You should get one of these for the office, dude. Oh my gosh. It's just like the little pad thing. It's not that little, I guess. Have you go, Dylan. You should get one of these for the office, dude. Oh my gosh. It's just like the little pad thing. It's not that little, I guess. Have you ever fallen off a treadmill? No, but videos of people doing it are hilarious. I fell off one once. No one was around though. Really? Well, it was in the upper, our gym had an upper deck of treadmills.

Were you chopping or were you just- I was, yes. I was slowing down from an absolute chop. And when I slowed it down, my feet were kind of moving so fast. I got speed wobbles, essentially. And one of my feet caught the side, and I just kind of took a tumble and shot back. It was not a good feeling. But knowing that no one saw me, I kind of wish I had the footage of it from the security cameras. You were coming down from an absolute chop. Yeah, dog. You know, I was probably down from an absolute chop. Yeah, dog.

You know, I was probably listening to Florida Georgia Line. Yeah, that's fine. Honestly, Cruz was probably playing in my speaks. Yeah, shit. You should get one. I don't think so, man. Why? It might help your legs.

Dude, I walk so much. Stella and I are just logging miles right now. I do probably 12 miles a week. Pretty good. I'm not doing anything. 12 miles a week. Yeah, I'm hardly walking at all. I'm getting like 2,000 steps a day.

I got my route down around the lake. It's sick, dude. Come join me sometime. I've never gotten an invite. I've never invited anyone to walk with me, so don't take it personally. That's fine. Actually, that's not true. Kayla and I took a walk not long ago. Okay, so don't take it personally. That's fine. Actually, that's not true. Kayla and I took a walk not long ago.

Okay, so you are inviting people on walks. Yeah, I did invite her. Because she lives right across the lake from me. So it's like, it worked. It's a cute little like meet cute. And like, hey, let's do a little... It's not a meet cute. You're right.

You're not using that phrase right. I know. Anyway. Can we hear from our friends over at Point Me so they can point you in the right direction? It's the first of its kind, a real-time search engine for points, just like Kayaker Google Flights, but for points. Point Me shows people how to get their best flights using their credit card points or airline miles, and it breaks down every step of how they can move from one to the other.

They're on a mission to get people better flights for fewer points and for people to stop wasting their points. You can check for flights across 33 loyalty programs and more than 150 airlines to uncover a multitude of real-time award flight options. PointMe runs extensive business rules. We love business rules over here. We love them. And they also use logic to validate the flights you see on PointMe are flights that you can actually book and not just out there. I actually logged into my bank account the other day. I don't do this very often. I try to avoid it at all costs.

And I was trying to figure out why I had a charge on one of my credit cards. And it was a yearly fee. I was like, dang, I should probably cancel this thing. And I went in and I looked at how many points I had. And I go, oh my God, I haven't used this card in so long. I forgot I had all these points. How do I use these? Guess what?

PointMe pointed me in the right direction. Let's go. It's easy to use. Walks users through every step of how to conduct a point transfer from a credit card to an airline all the way to booking, which is critical. At every touchpoint, they've asked, could someone who has never used this before use PointMe successfully? So they're allowed to educational moments and opportunities to build confidence and understanding. Their mission is to make it as easy as possible for travelers to find the best deals no matter their loyalty program. Head over to the description of this episode and just check out Point Me.

Go make it happen. Big news. Something I think we were actually early on, Dylan, for the first time ever. The word of the first time ever. The word of the year just dropped. We were only early on this one because we had two Gen Z interns at the time who kind of walked us through it. I kind of wish they didn't say what the word of the year was before we had an opportunity to guess it

because I think I would have liked to guess which word would have done it. I'm going to go through a list of finalists, too, after we talk about the word of the year. The finalists kind of pissed me off. All these words kind of pissed me off. The word of the year for the Oxford Dictionary is Riz. Hell yeah. It's like the first year where I actually think

it's a good word. The past five years have been trash. Why? What have the past five years been? I don't know, but you can probably look it up. You probably have it, but Riz is good i i love nothing more than seeing something like the oxford dictionary try to uh describe what riz is like last year was goblin mode i think i think it was when i went to go look up this year's word the first thing that came up was 2022 and i think it was goblin mode and i thought that's that can't be the word of the year i was laying in bed and i was eating doritos on my white sheets

just wiping my hand on it. I saw it. It was goblin, man. Riz. It was goblin, man. It's a young person's word. The other words of the year, the finalists were prompt. This is a lame one.

It's so lame. This is just an AI thing. Situationship. I hate this word so much, Dylan. I think it's because I live in the Sunday Scaries universe that has like a lot of single women in it. Like just the analytics of Sunday Scaries. So it's a female crowd.

And I think there's a lot of people in their 20s who are probably single. And the amount of times that something gets submitted to the Sunday Scaries Instagram account that has the word situationship in it, it kills me inside every single time. Got to be honest, this one, I've heard it before. It's not really on my radar though. I don't hear anyone using it ever. It's because you're 40. No offense, like you're 40. Well, you're not that far behind me, but you hear it a lot. It's a romantic or sexual relationship

that is not considered to be formal or established. Isn't that just friends with benefits? Friends with bennies is what that is. Randy, have you been in any situationships lately? Okay, that's a yes. Okay, that's fine. I'm not gonna pry anymore. I didn't mean to bring up any sensitive subjects. Although I respect Randy, like never,

never share, he never shares the details. He doesn't, I like it. But it's really annoying. I want him to spill the tea. If somebody, if you were DMing with a girl on a dating app, Randy, and this girl said, I'm done looking for situationships, is that a normal thing to say? Or if you said the word situationship in something, would someone be like, okay, why is this 29-year-old dude saying the word situationship to me?

I think no. I think you describe a situation to other people not to the person you're currently in a situation with you probably both know it but you tell your friends that like oh it's just a situation you wouldn't actually like say that because that'd be weird i'm looking at some of the uh passwords in the back uh goblin mode 2021 was get ready for this one. Vax. Oh, dude. Of course. You get the jab? 2020, didn't have one. 2019 was climate emergency. Wow, they took off 2020. Youthquake? I don't even know what that is.

Youthquake? That was 2017. 2018 was toxic. Have you guys heard the term beige flag? I've only heard it because of Instagram. no I'm sorry tick-tock you like what's your beige flag you heard beige flag Randy I have a character trait that indicates that a partner or potential partner is boring or lacks originality especially of a partner or potential partner viewed as extremely

characteristic but not distinctly good or bad what's your beige flag i don't know i'm trying to think of like what the beige flag would be it's just that's just anything that doesn't like strike me as good or bad right just like everything that's in the middle like if you ask sally right now what my beige flag is she'd probably say grateful dead vinyls she just thinks it's boring she's like i don't think she thinks it's boring to the point where she doesn't want to deal with it, but it's something she just puts up with that she definitely is like, okay, I don't know, that she just has to

deal with. And she doesn't stop me from buying anything. She doesn't stop me from talking about it to her. But she's definitely at the point now where she just tunes out when I start talking to her about stuff. Like, oh, I'm going to go to the store and do this. And she's like, cool, I don't care. Anything that is considered just basic would be like a beige flag to me what's your beige flag mine uh i'm probably like kohl's and chain restaurants and stuff

i found well oh your own base i thought you meant like what i what i look for in someone else oh like my beige flag i don know, I probably got a ton. Boring or lacks originality. See, this is tough because everything's subjective. I guess it is. Red flags are subjective. I mean, everyone has boring or basic traits about them, but you got to have some outliers too. That's where the fun lies, right?

Hey, man, everything's in the touch of gray. Page flag. De-influencing the practice of discouraging people from buying particular products or of encouraging people to reduce their consumption of material goods, especially via social media. This next one I'm familiar with because of Cole Campbell. He talks about it all the time.

A heat dome. Why does he talk about heat domes? Because. I'm kind of bummed that he don't means what it means he lives in a notoriously cold part of the world okay canada so and every time it's like it's above 70 degrees in his hometown he's like oh look at the heat talks about the heat dome like it's just a warm day man it's probably not a heat dome i kind of wish he don't meant something completely different it's just a warm day, man. It's probably not a heat dome. I kind of wish heat dome meant something completely different. It's a persistent high-pressure weather system over a particular geographic area, which traps a massive hot air below it. Wouldn't it be tighter, though, if, like, I was looking at your hat right now? I was like, dude, that's a good, like.

That's a heat dome. I like your howler heat dome, dude. It could also have a sexual connotation. I don't know what that would even. Oh, like. Dome. Like you're having sex in a dome that's hot inside. No.

Biodome. Probably, sure. I got dome, and it that's hot inside. No. Biodome. Probably, sure. I got dome and it was heat. Okay. You took it too far. There's children that listen to this podcast. People were thinking. I just landed the plane for them.

No, no. Parasocial is the final one. Designating a relationship characterized by the one-sided, unreciprocated sense of intimacy felt by a viewer, fan, or follower of a well-known prominent figure typically a media celebrity in which the follower fans becomes falsely or to feel falsely that they know a celebrity as a friend yeah that makes sense that that would be a thing this year especially considering swifty's one of the words of the year this year i gotta tell you man these types

stands is a stand right yeah they weird me out that to me it's a red flag well there's so many different levels of it though too there are have you ever seen the people that like fetishize like mass shooters and stuff oh that's that's just twit that's twisted dark fucked up shit tumblr is like a hotbed for it man like remember the dude who like remember the dude who shot up a movie theater who had like hair, orange hair or something? Kind of jokery. There was a whole community of people on Tumblr who were like, oh my gosh, look at this picture of him that just came out. He looks so cute in this.

And it was like, stop it. The Boston- Stop it. The Boston Marathon bomber. Yes. He was another one that- It was just like, what are you people doing? There was a group of people just obsessed with that dude who was really messed up.

Just because they're somewhat good looking in their terms and you just get obsessed with that person? was really messed up just because they're like like somewhat good looking in their terms and like you just get obsessed with that person like stop it the people on twitter whose um profile pic are of a celebrity and like their entire online brand is about that person and granted they're probably young people no one my age is doing that i wouldn't think but that's like people your age are definitely that shit weirds me out did you see so much did you see the person this weekend who's like a taylor swift poster and she posted a photo of herself with like her new baby who's two weeks old and her husband at like a pumpkin patch and she looked just like taylor swift and so people started being like like a lot of people were being nice to her and saying like oh my gosh that's a cute photo i thought you were taylor swift and it was like a compliment but then a lot of people were like, yeah, you took this too far. You look way too much like her.

You may, might need to find your own identity. And she got very upset over it. But I got down that as Twitter does these days. Once I clicked on that tweet, I saw about a million other tweets about it. Yeah. I don't like people who, not that I don't like them. I don't get down with people who worship celebrities. I worship a lot of celebrities, like Paul Mezcal and stuff. Like he's just like a hot, cool dude. You don't worship celebrities in the worship a lot of celebrities, like Paul Mezcal and stuff. He's just a hot, cool dude. You don't worship celebrities in the way I'm talking about. You don't know my burners. That's true.

I don't. They're just people, man. Right, Randy? Just people, man. I know what youthquake means, if you want to know, Will. What's a youthquake? This is a good retail therapy definition here. A noticeable shift in society or culture in response to the activities

or tastes of younger members of the culture so pretty much gen z taking over it's a vibe shift yeah it's a vibe it's a vibe shift dude you feel that youth quake this weekend when that new duo dropped hey have you dm dualipa yet she's single her twitter she's single i didn't know she was dating someone dude i just feel like she's not gonna see it you know yeah but what if she does and what if she's like okay has james dm'd her yet probably he's been he didn't he didn't he didn't care about the goalie see i don't want to encroach on james's uh territory there what if you what if she responds to you and you're like hey i'd like to i'd actually like to introduce you to my friend james okay if you know what yeah if you you can see he's a fan of yours.

If you go through his Twitter feed, he just loves you. Is there a horny parasocial? Because I think that's him. What's a situationship when the other person doesn't know that they're in it and there's not sex? I think it's unrequited love. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay. There's a term for everything. If you send her the Mario DM, I think that'll work okay say no more we purchased i purchased mario this weekend the game or the movie the movie you purchased the movie it's on netflix for free well now he owns it well ever i also use my brother-in-law's netflix account and it doesn't work on one of our TVs. And so, uh, yeah, yeah. So we bought Mario.

It's a good movie. Have you seen it? Yeah. Good movie. Seen it. I like to pivot a little bit. This is more of a worst of story than anything, but this is something I saw on Twitter.

Um, you guys are familiar with Taco Bell, correct? Live boss. Oh yeah. Okay. Uh, have you guys ever seen the instagram account i was poisoned.com no i haven't either i hadn't seen it until today but it's uh they report food poisoning and you can sign up for free consumer report or consumer safety alerts for your city it's the number one consumer food safety platform in the world and they uh put up stuff about people getting food poisoning.

Can I read you this one from Canton, Georgia? Yes. Tell me what would happen if you were in the presence of this guy, okay? Taco Bell, Marietta Highway, Canton, Georgia. I went to Taco Bell and I ordered the same thing from two days before, which was the value meal taco and five-layer burrito and I think a chalupa for $5. I only ate the chalupa and taco and the mountain dew mountain dew baja blast i know randy likes that uh i eat the food i left

and i put the five layer burrito in my pocket for the movie i was going to see you ever put a five layer burrito in your pocket for a movie i've done a pocket taco before but never a burrito what's up you just put a taco in your pocket and called it a day don't call it a pocket taco like it's a normal thing yeah it was okay what situation were you like i gotta put this taco in my pocket and book it right now we had gotten like tacos before while we were at uh chicago for saint patty's day drinking and stuff like that we're going to next bar so i just put the pocket taco in my pocket and i had a pocket i saw i'm not gonna at this person because that would be mean and i don't want to run into them in the future and have them say that i was

an asshole and they heard this but i was once at a tailgate and there was a professional golfer at the tailgate and he took four pocket tacos with him i was like you're a pro golfer like you can afford breakfast tacos at the game like just go down there and buy one like you don't need to take these from the tailgate and then go to the game they wrapped in foil yeah you just pocketed four of them like if you do one pocket taco like randy did like that's something but doing four you're going you're going double barrel in each pocket pockets are bulging with tacos yeah it. It's too much. I get it.

You're a professional athlete. You got to feast. But like four pocket tacos? Anyway, we're burying the lead here. He said in about 20 minutes into the movie, I automatically start vomiting everywhere and my face was burning and I felt like I was going to pass out. Thank God I was the only one in the theater. I knew something was wrong and I tried to head home.

I was so sick I was about to pass out. Had to call an ambulance and was taken to the hospital and they said i had food poisoning i've been eating at this taco bell since 1992 which equals 31 years and this never had happened but it did and it was absolutely horrible what do you do if you're sitting in a movie and there's one other guy there like it's already awkward when there's one other person in the movie theater and you're sitting there what do you do if you're sitting there and you're just like oh this guy's just puking violently everywhere right now oh my god do you help him or do you leave i leave well i i'll check in like hey man do you need do you need anything but i think i gotta go i think i think i'm going to

the first like person that's like it's gonna smell working at the movie theater and just being like dude you gotta go help that guy yeah this guy's barfing fucking everywhere and also maybe give me a refund while we're at it because i can't go back in there oh you can't eat this much taco bell yeah you can he's been doing it for 31 years and he seems completely fine doesn't seem completely fine i don't think i don't think i've ever gotten remotely close to vomiting in a movie theater and that seems like an all-time bad place to have to vomit you would think that he could feel it coming he would get up and walk to the restroom well he said the phrase i automatically started vomiting everywhere just auto vom automatic just spontaneous vom only one taco and chalupa though at that point right so he didn't have too much

do you think it was the taco or the chalupa did he did he get did he get to the thing in his pocket he just said he brought it i don't know if it got to he was still he still had one strapped on him i think he was strapped can you imagine them taking him like out of the movie theater like on like a like a bed and he's got he's just got his five-layer burrito sitting there he's like get this thing off me what's going on i think i was poisoned here test this take this test it sir why do you have an extra one on you, but it's a game does food poisoning set in that quickly like Like when I got sweetgreen not to add them Hope they never want to be a sponsor cuz I've turned to some enough

But like when I got sweetgreen food poisoning, I took about six hours for it set in like it wasn't an immediate thing. I Don't know that I've ever gotten food poisoning knock on wood please knock on wood it's i i'm not kidding when i say i think it's the worst like i know i think i'd rather have the flu i've heard it's i don't want to say that the flu can literally kill you like seasickness and food poisoning i've heard like the two like actually that's a really good point most miserable things you can experience it's inescapable nausea yeah have you ever gotten seasick no i think i'm uh immune to it i i've been in i've been in rough waters before i just i can handle it i haven't been deep sea fishing since my first ever my first and only uh like sea nausea really it was inescapable dude just i was

just laying laying there the entire i mean i was young and i was just laying there with my hands over my stomach for hours just begging them to go back yeah they wanted to catch some big boy fish so they were like nah player I've heard it's extremely years old deal extremely miz just don't do it don't get sick I need to use I want to use one I want to go fishing with one of those things that we have a sponsor that gave us that anti nausea thing Alyssa used it for altitude stuff and I think it actually worked wow I don't know fucking hey I don't know can we talk about our friends over at blue land please big fan of everything blue land's doing i use it every single day right now the holidays can create even more waste than usual each year americans throw away 25 more trash from thanksgiving to new year's what if we told you

We talk about it a little bit on this podcast. Usually it's right off the top. We haven't really dove in too much. But we had two columns this week that I think are very timely and important.

I had my column, which was the most egregious things that have happened at Watched HQ lately and who I think is responsible Dave has his paternity leave predictions I think when he wrote this I don't think he knew he was getting bladder Botox and so maybe he would have gone with that instead can we go through a couple of these things and just have a little discussion

over what's going on here you want to put a bow on this conversation yeah let me just say we had a little controversy in the office when someone left a single-use tissue uh on the edge of the toilet the seat was up dylan do you want to fess up to me guessing that this was you i don't know that it was me but if i i will often use the restroom and then i'll blow my nose and just toss the the tissue into the end of the toilet on my way out the toilet the toilet that's what old people call toilets. Have you ever heard it?

I heard you say Washington earlier, which is like old Midwest people just saying, go wash those dishes. Old people say either commode or toilet. Anyway, I'm not going to just straight up fess up to it because I don't know that it was me, but it was possibly me. Somehow your one foot in, one foot out stance in this

actually makes it more acceptable because you're willing to take the blame and you're not actively denying it. So I like this. There's nothing egregious about that. Dave and I had a little discussion about the mug situation. You know, Dave's really been pinned as the mug guy.

He's got some excuses. What are they? That there's no room because listeners send us too many mugs. False. I will also say, i will also put my hand up i might have added to the issue by uh putting some maybe one or two mugs in there just because i knew that somebody else was at fault on a larger scale we came in here one friday and dave's like it was it was right after we had jake uh oh so i was out you're out and so i know i know that jake used a coffee mug and there were some other ones just It was right after we had Jake. Oh, so I was out. You were out.

And so I know that Jake used a coffee mug, and there were some other ones, dirty ones just laying around. People use them, whatever. And Dave comes in that morning. He goes, oh, remind me today. I'm going to wash the mugs. I said, oh, great.

They're sitting in the sink. He goes over there, washes them. Actually, he didn't wash them. He he he washed them but he left he left them in the sink with like soapy water inside them let him soak dude he let him soak like you don't need to let him soak it's not like they're uh it's not like a cook like a pan that you use to cook with it has like stuff you know stuck onto it like it's just a coffee mug let's say like hypothetically i had a wife and then hypothetically that wife left like cereal bowls in the kitchen sink to soak. Like would you call that unnecessary?

Like wouldn't you say that's just a straight to the washing machine from a hypothetical situation? Absolutely. And granted, we don't have a washing machine here or a dishwasher here. We don't have a dishwasher, no. We don't have a washer. But I mean we have dish soap sitting right next to the sink. So all you you gotta do is get a little soap, get a paper towel,

get it wet, just clean it, rinse it, put it away. It's that easy. He let him sit there in the sink for days. He was really letting him soak. I actually respect this. But then, and this one was, the next one was Randy.

Oh, someone's been suspiciously quiet. Those mugs hold on let me finish those same mugs randy's like i'm gonna wash these like okay great he washes them and then he sets them out on the desk out here to dry like he laid down paper towel and he'd sit out there to dry which is okay fine but then he left there for like three or four days. Yeah, because there was no space in the cabinet. That's bullshit. I also don't drink any coffee, so I shouldn't have been the one that had to clean any of those. But I did because I needed- Because you're a grinder.

Because I needed a sink to clean out the printer thing. Just like Dave, you did a half measure. You did half the job. Wow. No, I cleaned them all. And there is room. I've made room in those cabinets many, many times. I had to take out a bunch of the things and go donate them to Goodwill. Will was there when I did that. There is room. I have made room in those cabinets many, many times.

I had to take out a bunch of the things and go donate them to Goodwill. Will was there when I did that. That's why there was space, because I had to move those out. Well, finally, it got to the point where Dylan took a bunch of the mugs that listeners sent him. He just started breaking them outside in front of the garbage and throwing them away. Don't listen to that, folks. I would never do such a thing. We only donated mugs that were not sent by listeners.

The listeners are kind of the problem here. They're sending us so many mugs right now that we don't have room to keep up. When we moved in, the former tenants, they left a bunch of just generic green mugs behind. They're not bad mugs. They're fine. But they're an abundance of them. I get why they left them. I feel like it's like 15, 18 mugs.

No one wants to pack that many mugs. Right. So that's why we had so many and not much room. But there was enough room. There was definitely not enough room. I put them away so many times. Yeah, but there were so many sitting in the sink. There were so many sitting in the sink for so many days

that we got more mugs in the time while those were still in there that there wasn't enough room. An embarrassment of riches. We had like five more mugs come in while those had been sitting in the sink for like a month. I think we need a trophy cabinet for all the mugs that are sent to us so not they get used once and then they get put in the trophy cabinet somewhere right here yeah i think yeah yeah the reason the toilet one's behind you because it takes up so much damn room so we just we should just get a mug shelf out

there yeah be kind of sick actually i could work i do i will say that the liquid iv thermos that is in the sink right now is mine because i forgot to bring my water bottle one day i will clean it do you want to there's a lot of allegations out here that you might have been the person despite being out of town that you might have been the person who went through all the early bird while everyone was out of the office all week i actually did i did uh have a flight back when i heard we got i just booked it really quick got the early bird went through it and then i went back to chicago it was really inefficient it probably would have been more just booked it really quick, got the early bird, went through it. And then I went back to Chicago. It was really inefficient. It would probably have been more just cheaper for me to buy my own early bird. Can we talk about Dave's column real quick and some of the predictions that he has, um, you know, with the pending child, uh, he, he has a

prediction of a much hornier circling back because I I'm the only person that can defend your horniness. Okay. he's clearly projecting here he is definitely the horniest of the three of us and so he's just trying to put it off on me that's all that is projection i think i think it's more of a i think it's more of like a group thought thing like once like one person starts to get a little age in the studio then suddenly it starts to get infectious and everyone gets age like today's been a pretty minimally h episode what was it a live stream when i i used the word um oh perform talk i think i was talking about football you were being gross no i wasn't i'm hearing it i said a normal sentence i said i use the word perform or performance or something like that and kj and dave

just couldn't control themselves okay kj is by far kj is he's the one but it's like guys i can't use a regular word around now anymore you know you can't use the word performance around them dude that's on you it's not about erectile dysfunction do we think his second prediction was that uh brett's gonna land a major deal uh while he's out i think brett's got some irons and i hope i hope that one comes yeah i think he's he's got some. I'm not too worried about this one. Yeah, Brett's got some shit cooking. And if you give Brett a little bit of runway, he'll make it happen.

Yeah. He'll make it happen. He's excited about a few things going on, and that makes me excited. This one is actually one of my bigger concerns, that Randy will do whatever he wants behind the producer desk. I will say that I do think Dave does keep tabs on Randy

during episodes. Sometimes I'll see Dave when I'm re-watching episode, I'll look, I'll see Dave look over at Randy when you or I start saying something stupid. He just, he just kind of defaults and wants to get a little, little, I don't know. It's because Dave will make a joke that sometimes you guys don't understand, or he'll, he'll hear something, something you guys say and me and him look at each other and be like, yep, he just said something. Have you gotten a gram off today? Have you gotten a gram off today on this episode, Randy? I did not get a gram off today.

But if you want to do a gram later, Dylan, let me know. Is that a cocaine joke? No, we're talking about burning. What are you talking about? Jesus. Didn't you say you burned this weekend? I fucking burn every day. No, you don't.

Famously, he said that on Do You Know It. Yeah, I just don't think you do burn every day. Dude, smoke weed every day no you don't famously he said that on do you know yeah i don't think you do i just don't think you do burn every day dude smoke weed every day uh dave did say he'll have a solid content or merch idea that he will have when he's in the awake sleep moment um and he'll forget it and i can confirm deprived he will he will have this happen like yeah i i actually think being out of the office for two weeks when charlie was, it gave me a lot of time to think about stuff and like get new angles at things. And the second I came back into the office, I just completely forgot everything that I had schemed.

I had so many grand ideas and like, oh, I'm going to change the way I do this. Ooh, maybe we should take a step back and do that. No, it's over. Yeah. It's done. Yeah. The final one was that Dylan and Will finally make it on their fuck boy fade haircuts. I think Dave is just, he's just trying to get us to – he's just putting this out there again so we go do it.

It's wishful thinking on his part. Right before Christmas. I did take my – I did take our family photos for the Sally's family Christmas card this weekend. And as you can see, I did not shave a mustache. I wimped out. It's disappointing. I have to admit I was in a grumpy mood before we went. I wimped out.

It's disappointing. I have to admit, I was in a grumpy mood before we went, not only because I didn't want to go take more photos for Christmas season, but also because I had a little dust on the old brain after our Kelly's Irish Pub. What do you mean? I wasn't feeling great the next day. Yeah? I felt a little tiny bit of a tinge of a hangover.

Okay. That Saturday I had, I wish I could relive it this saturday it was so next level i feel like i took it for granted like i feel like i'm going to it's going to be like mid-january everyone's going to be doing dry january and shit and like being boring as fuck and i'm going to look back and be like man championship saturday was so fucking nice it was awesome just doing nothing just doing nothing that louisville quarterback, Jack Plummer, I felt bad for dunking on him so much on the TL, but my gosh.

Did you dunk? I don't feel like you did him that wrong. I did. I was pretty ruthless. Could you have played better? Anyone in this office could have. Give me a week to learn the playbook, and yeah. Did you see the theories popping up

about how Louisville was trying to throw the game? Yeah, I did. Do you have anything you'd like to say to Florida State Seminole fans out there? I feel awful. Like, genuinely, you guys got a raw deal. I feel terrible for you guys. It sucks.

The players, they deserve better. You won every game. You won every game on your schedule. You won a conference championship. But you haven't seen the news. What's the news? I thought they were going to sue like try to like you know take legal action they don't need to it's just gotten on the timeline today that florida state university

and the university of georgia will now officially be playing in the nick adams alpha male champion football team of the year bowl oh my gosh that's huge he said given given michigan's cheating saban's woke coaching and quinn ewers passion for Fortnite, he was left with no choice. Quinn Ewer likes to play Fortnite, therefore he's out on the guys list. Is he a Fortnite guy? Is that like something I've missed? After the game, he posted an Instagram story. It's a selfie from the locker room, and it had a little poll.

It said, should I stream Fortnite tonight? Oh, dude. He asked a no. Oh, no. don't know i don't you should the answer is no like you're he's in too good of a mood he might be saying stuff we don't need a situation where queen gets canceled before the cfp so we got screenshot and people were passing that around uh twitter and nick adams caught wind of it he's like all right i guess I guess I'm out on Texas now because their quarterback plays Fortnite. Dork. Oh, it's so funny. Good for him.

Yeah. All right, that's it. Good stuff, guys. That's all she wrote. That's all she wrote. We'll be back tomorrow with exactly five minutes. If you want to submit one of your prompts, go to the Circling Back Instagram page, or if you're a patron,

go comment on the last exactly five minutes, and we'll make sure to get yours included. But we cannot guarantee it'll get selected as that's a 170 chance or is it or is it yes oh i put in some blank i put in some blank balls that are just going to be something else i actually have an idea for this that the blanks aren't a wild card i actually think i have another idea that i'm going to pitch to you guys i have a good dealer calls it i have i have an idea you remember waterfall yeah like when you'd be playing like king's cup like don't waterfall don't go chasing what no no not that long go like when someone says like okay you have to do types of

milk so i say two percent r, oh, you say vitamin D. Like we all go around. I think we have the blank ball be like the waterfall ball. And then Randy gets to choose what we have to do for a topic. That's not bad. I think there's five blank balls. We should like make them color or something like that. And like each one means a different thing.

Okay. Okay. First, we need to fix our ball machine, but we'll get there. I got the rubber band. Patreon.com slash circling back podcast. We will see you guys over there. Bye. Bye.

Bye. Bye.
