Starting point is 00:00:00 We are coming. All right, we're back circling back podcast. My name's Will. David Ruff, how are we today? I'm a little shaken up. I didn't tell you guys this, I was saving it for the show, but you know the street
Starting point is 00:00:31 that runs by the fire department? Wikini? Oh yeah, very familiar my friend. You know how there's not a four way stop, but there probably should be? Mm-hmm. Well, another car, didn't realize that, ran through that stop sign right as I'm'm turning I ended up having to swerve in that corner whoa
Starting point is 00:00:50 He was fucking wild Made it in obviously, but did you have to hit that skirt skirt? I was on two wheels. Were you sitting sideways? No, well for a second like arguably was there a moment where you were gripping grain like super hard because you were worried that's most of the time you must have gotten candy paint everywhere uh yeah i pulled over because the fire department the the firefighters were out there like playing pickleball shirtless and they're like you okay i'm good dude and they're like dude you were that's a big old puddle candy out there like yeah i was like can y'all help me clean it up and they're like we got just the thing so they went and got one of their tools and they cleaned it up what tool do they use to clean up paint it was a big old roll of paper towels oh it's a useful tool yeah yeah those guys just putting in
Starting point is 00:01:40 work on the pickleball court man I. I bet those guys clean up. Yeah, if they make a mess, it means someone's gotta do it. I mean, I just watched them clean up. Candy pain, actually. Right. Facts. Yeah, firefighters, it's a hot guy job.
Starting point is 00:01:58 We're lady. If you choose to do that, it's a great career path as well. Why'd you say it like that? Because I didn't include the other half. I know, but just like the tone, it was just odd. I thought it was a fine tone. It's a fine tone.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Here's a fine tone. We got a man who's not afraid to wear a Texas Longhorns hat in the face of adversity. We've got a guy who looks like he might be on Real Bros of Simi Valley. We got Dylan Schiverer in the building. Why you really do. Always proud to be a Texas man. Why are you be on Real Bros. of Simi Valley. We got Dylan Schiverer in the building. You really do. Always proud to be a Texas fan.
Starting point is 00:02:26 Why are you giving Real Bros. today? No matter what happens. What's your Real Bros. name? I don't know. You gotta give me a minute to come up with that. I can't do it off the top of the dome, dude. Scorch. Okay. A couple of things to say. First of all, this is week two of Dylan just taking his
Starting point is 00:02:44 podcasting to the next level. You guys, I don't know if you're settled in yet, but you better settle in. You better buckle up. It's about to be a fun ride in 2025. Secondly, one of the real names from the real or fake country music artist's name list, someone texted me and said, hey, check out this song by Hudson Westbrook. country music artist's name list, someone texted me and said, hey, check out this song by Hudson Westbrook. It's a good song. It made Dylan Fives. So how about that?
Starting point is 00:03:09 It's called House Again. Check it out. Hudson Westbrook. That's my free music wreck of the day. Is that the story of Jack Sawyer? I'm sorry. What are you doing? I was trying to think of a tie-in.
Starting point is 00:03:22 There's no tie-in. He took it to the house. He did. It was a good play by him. Again, doesn't really make sense. He's a good ball player. How'd that game end? I missed the fourth quarter. Texas lost. Texas lost. Tough one for our horns. I was riding with them.
Starting point is 00:03:35 It was tough, man. It's tough. But the future looks bright. How bright though? It's arch time, baby. The arch era has officially begun. I heard Carson Beck's throwing his name in. They're making a late play. He's going to Miami. They want those dead eyes. He followed his girlfriend to Miami.
Starting point is 00:03:56 How lame is that? Why is that lame? Is love lame? I don't know, man. Like had she not gone there? Would he have gone there? Probably not. Have you seen the ripple effect of how he's landed in Miami? Did you say ripple? Can't even use the word anymore. No? What do you mean? It was that Caitlin Clark beat that Haley or something in a van for LSU.
Starting point is 00:04:25 And then she transferred to TCU, which squeezed out the playing time for Carson Beck's girlfriend to transfer to Miami. And now he's going to Miami. That's funny. Because of Caitlin Clarke. It's all because of Caitlin Clarke. Butterfly effect.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Or ripple effect in this case. Sure, sure. That's funny. I need to see more tape. On Cavender? I need to see more tape on Cavender
Starting point is 00:04:53 Go and get you some boots. I don't know her first name there. They have there. She's got a twin sister Really their twins are on my in less like you didn't know that I Only know them. I don't know what they look like. I know the Cavender twins Cavender twins Some people find them attractive. I'm not saying I'm one of them some people do any pull tape No, don't pull them up. Don't pull it off. We're not this nice. You'd like me to pull up the Cavender Twins right now No, okay. I just want to be objective. No and twins There you guys talk about raising your game up Randy. Hi happy to be here everyone Randy is on day 13 of dry January. He's way too aware of his surroundings.
Starting point is 00:05:32 He's got way too much pep in his step. He's got mental clarity. He's way too happy. Yeah. I feel like he's making people who choose to continue enjoying. I feel like he's making them feel like, trying to make them feel bad about themselves.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Okay, it's just Will. I wasn't gonna say anything. Why? Why me? I'm enjoying moist January, as y'all know. Oh, have you drank 12 out of the 13 days of January? Nope. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:55 But I have consumed alcohol. I said it before and I'll say it again. If I could take it back, I would drink 13 out of 13. That's what's up. That's my fucking dog. How'd you miss that one day? Like what happened? Let's break it down.
Starting point is 00:06:07 I think it was a day where I definitely should have had a drink. Yeah, it definitely was. I was like, I think instead I took a couple early bird and just settled in. Now I don't know. With my birthday being in January and then weird week into a weekend,
Starting point is 00:06:24 then last week, your boy was just sipping. They call me Lil Sipper. I was drinking, I was sipping a little bourbon the other night. Then I bought some Estrellas at the store for the Texas game the other day. It's a good Mexican lager there, dude. Might've had a beer last night.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Dude, during witching hour. No, it doesn't exist during the playoffs. Sports. Do you feel better, Randy? You feel sharp? How's your mental clarity? Yes, I feel fantastic. I can, I've, like I said, the reason I'm doing this,
Starting point is 00:06:59 I don't know if I've been more than two weeks sober and since college, so I'm like, when I do two weeks, I feel amazing. I can only imagine what three and four I might be able to fly. Who knows? You all. Yeah, I might. Yeah, what else? You want you can't change the the laws of physics. At week four, I'm going to flip your car
Starting point is 00:07:16 because I'm going to be so strong. OK, well, I hope. I feel like this is a good time for Randy just to be doing like ridiculous Tic-Tacs. Well, I guess you don't really care about that at this point. Yeah, we got we got what six days left We'll see how that all goes. What's happening with that? Apparently it's getting banned the 19th Apparently Don't do you apparently kid, okay You're not as cute man. Hey, offense. You're not nearly as cute.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Just for all to be here, man. I don't know the Apparently Kid. I thought you were doing Chris Collinsworth. You don't know the Apparently Kid? You do. You know the Apparently Kid, dude. He was too viral to miss, but it's probably five, six years ago.
Starting point is 00:07:55 Yeah, he was an E-bombs world king. Oh. No, dude, it's over five. I think it's over five or six years. Yeah, I think that kid's grown at this. Apparently. Apparently, he's E-bombs world old, though. No, it's not E-Bomb's world old.
Starting point is 00:08:06 That's like. I had to explain to Randy who Robbie Williams was earlier. I guess that was before a lot of people's time. Apparently. Rest in peace. Robbie Williams? The Apparently Kid died? Are either of them?
Starting point is 00:08:22 Robin Williams? No, Robbie Williams. Robbie Williams, noted a boy band from across the way. You say noted. I did not, I don't know. That's okay. Randy, it's okay. Okay, thank you.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Thank you for your forgiveness. Good show. Yeah, okay. Yeah, so damn, things just got mega icy in here. It's weird. Yeah. Yeah. So dry January. Hey, Dylan.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Hey, bud. You did some vlogging over the weekend. Can you explain to everybody what you vlogged about? Yeah. So I went to Europe. No. Okay. I'll use my real voice. Went to Europe in December and while I was there, I did some recording with my video capturing device. Your iPhone? Yes. Thanks to Will, I did it in landscape or probably would have
Starting point is 00:09:20 fudged that up big time if had I not talked to Will before. Dude, the butterfly effect of me telling you to record a bunch of stuff in landscape is crazy, right? It's like a media. With the help of our friend and producer over here, Randy, who did an excellent job, he helped me put together this video and did a little a voiceover on it. And it's a, yeah, it's a behind the scenes look
Starting point is 00:09:40 at my trip to Europe, Amsterdam, Madrid, thanks to the fine folks at Heineken, Heineken 0.0, and it is available at the Washed YouTube. We're also going to maybe cut it up and do some, yep, Randy says yes, we're going to do some rails out of it. Damn, Sober Randy's just fucking killing it. Yeah, just behind the scenes look on what it would be like, you know, to go on like an influencer esque trip You've kind of snapped. I kind of think fluent. I kind of did good, right like
Starting point is 00:10:10 You look like an influencer. I don't like the sound of my voice in the video Cuz I feel I just feel a little out of my element But I you know, I did it well we got through it What was the comfortability level when you sat in the studio and did your voiceover seven out of ten? Okay, I recorded for about half an hour. Just as I did about three different runs. It took, you know, it took me a while. It was a long video, a lot of talking. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Not long, three and a half minutes, not even. But anyway, Randy, great job. Check out the video at the YouTube. We're going to promote it across the socials as well. YouTube, isn't it? You, you, the YouTubes. If they're listening, Heineken 0.0, somebody commented that this video has influenced them to, Heineken 0.0, somebody commented that this video has influenced them
Starting point is 00:10:46 to try Heineken 0.0. That's what it's all about, man. So it sounds like someone was influenced. That's pretty exciting, actually. I don't think I've ever had a Heineken 0.0, but I would probably drink one. It tastes like Heineken. I get that.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Most of these NA brands, you can't say alcohol-free because there are like traces of it. This one actually has zero, zero alcohol in this. Oh, so interesting. Yeah. Check it out, man. Check it out. Bro, let's go out this weekend. There's a crazy event happening. I like to turn on. There's a crazy event happening. Let's just out this weekend.

Starting point is 00:11:49 They're probably 13 days into dry January thinking, what do I do with all this mental capacity? Should I start a side hustle? How can I make this year different? How am I gonna build something for myself? I'm dying to be my own boss or see if I can turn this business idea I've been kicking around into a reality, but I don't know where to make it happen guess what Shopify is how
Starting point is 00:12:06 you're gonna make it happen and let me tell you how. You guys mind if I put you onto something?

What if I told you that? You can get your store up and running easily with thousands of customizable templates, no coding or design skills required. All you need to do is drag and drop. Even Dylan can do it. Dylan can do it. Yes, that is true. David can even do it. I

Starting point is 00:13:29 to. Thanks for asking Will. Friday was all about college football. Um a lot of a lot of anxiety about the game. Texas, of course, played Ohio State in the semifinal round of the college football playoff. I predicted a Texas loss. I went on record seven point loss. So I you know expectations going in were a loss but I was hopeful Texas is a good team. Ohio State very good team and my boys didn't pull it out and that was pretty crushing. Pretty crushing. Were there some missed targeting calls?
Starting point is 00:14:10 I don't think so. Okay. I don't think so. Okay, holding. Any holds? Our boy, Colin Simmons, was clearly held on a drive that Ohio State went ahead on. Were they not selling beer in the stadium?
Starting point is 00:14:26 I see what he's saying. Oh. To use as a projectile. I think they were. We could have got that overturned. I think they were. I still haven't been banned from DKR after throwing so many beers on the field.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Yeah, that's good. You were just humming beers down there. They did an investigation and they didn't find anybody guilty, turns out. No, there was a guy there who was throwing beers, but they just didn't make it down. It was the snowball fight guy. Oh, come on. Yeah, I'm glad there's no there who was throwing beers, but they just didn't make it down. It was the snowball fight guy Yeah, I'm glad there's no video of me throwing beers
Starting point is 00:14:49 Yeah So that was my Friday night more on the game on too much dip later today if you want to check that out and then Saturday Just a lovely weekend with with parks with Chelsea you met up with my my sister or brother-in-law and nieces for a little bit Oh Kendall Kendall. Yeah, we went to Meanwhile Brewing. That was fun. It's a good spot. It's a great spot, man. Did you get any tacos? How many sap dogs did you take down?
Starting point is 00:15:15 Answer the question. What? How many sap dogs did you take down? I took down three frosty boys, two and a half, actually. Two and a half? What? Chelsea and I split and a half. What? Chelsea and I split the last one. What the?
Starting point is 00:15:28 It's not that weird. No, I know. There's something, Sally always asks me like, hey, do you want to split a beer? And I'm like, it's only 12 ounces. Like, I feel like I'm just gonna drink a full one. We tried the barbecue truck there, which is like African barbecue.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Yeah, I've heard good things. It's called, distant relatives. It was good. They have a really, really interesting sauce. I was afraid you were gonna say you tried like the barbecue stout or something when you said barbecue. Oh no, no. They smoke it?
Starting point is 00:15:58 How is there not gonna barbecue stout at some Texas barrier? I got a few Pillsies. Someone's put their beer in the smoker and just like, oh, fuck it, I'm bored. You could smoke anything. It's true. That's true. If you got them. Other than that, just enjoyed the outdoors. It was actually, it was chilly, but it was a sunny weekend, beautiful weather. Got out a bit and yeah, just a chill weekend after the devastating Friday night. Just a chill, chill situation. Stella got some walks.
Starting point is 00:16:29 You know how it goes. I'm sorry about your horns, dude. Yeah. Arch era underway. Where is it? Tune into Too Much Dip. Who will you be supporting in the national championship game? I might not even watch.
Starting point is 00:16:44 Oh, you got to ride with it. Probably Ohio State. Really? Who will you be supporting in the national championship game? I might not even watch. Okay. Oh No, I'm probably Ohio State really I've never liked Notre Dame and plus it's like oh at least the team that won it all is a team that Texas lost to That whole like, you know If there's ever a time to cheer for Notre Dame though, and if you're ever gonna choose one time in your life Isn't like right now the time look I don't like either team they unfortunately they can't both lose So it's like the lesser of the two evils for me and I don't know. I told. Look, I don't like either team. Unfortunately, they can't both lose. So it's like the lesser of the two evils for me.
Starting point is 00:17:06 And I don't know. What if I told you they can? I don't really care. I do like Marcus Freeman. He seems like a dog. Yeah. How can't you like the guy? Went to Ohio State.
Starting point is 00:17:17 Think we'll hear about that in the lead up? I do. Interesting. I actually recently learned Quinn and Jack Sawyer were roommates at Ohio State. Isn't that a crazy ironic note though? Yeah, it's crazy. Well, that's such a cool fact. I'd like to hear it 50 times.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Tune into Too Much Dip where I'll bring it up again. Dave, how about your weekend, man? Well, let's talk about it, Dylan. Glad you brought it up. I thought it was an all-time weather weekend. I that's when I hear winter in Texas, that's what I want. Hey, you hear about this blast coming through in like a couple
Starting point is 00:17:51 of weeks, week and a half. We got a blast rolling in. Are you saying like an Arctic blast? I am. Well, let's let's just let it. I'm talking about digi's maybe. When? Which model are you looking at? I just said a week and a half to two weeks. Listen to me. From now, are you
Starting point is 00:18:07 looking at the European models? What are you looking at? I gotta get a new face before this next one. Just check it out, dog. I got a leaky sink, bro. Check it out, dog. Well, yeah, Friday night, I was uh as far as a watching a game at home by my
Starting point is 00:18:24 self experience, that was uh top tier. We had the group text, a relatively new group text to the boys popping off. Dude, you love to have a new group text in your life. It's great. Shout out to the Luke's. It's so new, there are three numbers in there that I don't even have saved. I don't know who I'm talking to.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Dude, we're just vibing virtually. Who cares? Whatever. So yeah, there's a lot of hype in that group text. I'm riding with the horns for that game. I'm like, yeah, let's fucking go. I wanted them to win the whole damn thing. And wasn't their year, wasn't our year, Dylan.
Starting point is 00:18:58 It wasn't. But got big things popping. So let's talk about number 11 off the edge, getting held. I would say not only that play, he gets- That was egregious. He gets held off the edge, getting held. I would say not only that play, he gets- That was egregious. He gets held off the edge quite a bit, I've noticed. He's a dog. Got the Micah Parsons treatment. Anyway, year two, Colin Simmons, he's going to get some calls. Anyway, congratulations to Buckeye Nation. Saturday is one of those days where like, so the only activity we had planned was T-ball for my oldest son and he, it's no longer at nine in the morning. It's
Starting point is 00:19:34 now at 2 30 in the afternoon, which I kind of like, um, nobody in, nobody in Austin plays golf on Saturday in the afternoon. That's just not a thing. Cause it's pretty much impossible to get on any course. I think we're at the point of a lottery system if you want to go play a muni. So it's been fine. So we did that. Weather was like 59 degrees sunny like Dylan mentioned and just nice. Just good pullover weather. You could even pop it if you wanted if you're being a little active. Again, second week, I think I talked about it last week, there's a kid on his team who has just the sweetest swing and the first kid I've seen in t-ball who's cleared the infield in the air from the tee. So he's hitting straight P missiles.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Yeah, and he's not a particularly big kid. He's tall, but he's not like a unit. He's just got a good swing and he barrels the ball in. So like Pedroia vibes? I would say, no not Pedroia vibes. I would give him more Corey Seeger vibes. Okay. He's gonna say Ben Zobrist. Okay. Maybe like Steve Bouchelle vibes doing. Oh, he's a good ball player. Yeah. What else? vibes doing. Oh, he's a good ball player. Yeah. What else? Saturday night, we let's see. I'm caught up with the agency. Highly recommend that show. It's been very, very good. I am also caught up with Landman.
Starting point is 00:20:56 I got to say, after kind of dogging Landman in the washed media sub stack last week, episode 10 delivered. That was maybe the best of the season very good episode um had a little something for everybody had a little bit of a i've got a little question this i was almost going to put this on the rundown as a as a standalone but it's it's really not worthy of that there's two kids in the neighborhood i've never seen they're probably 10 and 12 uh brother and sister and they they have a dog i think it's a new dog. It's a great Pyrenees You're familiar with the Pyrenees, right?
Starting point is 00:21:29 Somewhat they're big dogs. They're big old working dogs. They're great dogs Good farm dog. They can be really good pets, but they've they need a lot of exercise from my understanding they were walking this full-grown dog, it's not a puppy and The dog I won't say it's aggressive but it did I watched it have an interaction with another dog to where it was barking and growling and they're like Pulling this thing back like holding it with all their might and I'm just thinking man at some point like you're too small to walk That large dog. My son insists on holding the leash
Starting point is 00:22:06 when I walk Rosie with him. It's not it's not a great combination. How's Rosie on the walk? She pulls. She's a puller. Mm hmm. Her children pull ratio on walks is not good. There we go. Just a little uncomfortable with these
Starting point is 00:22:21 kids and I I will say like I'm not going to say anything but like uh just be aware. You see, they look like Randy, my dog, Randy, but they're bigger. They're probably 20 pounds heavier. Yeah, you gotta have a human being man in these things, not children. All right. These are badass dogs, though. Yeah. Shout out to all my great Pyrenees out there. If you're listening to VLX right now, all your owners at work, we stan you. If you've got livestock or something you
Starting point is 00:22:42 wanna take care of, you put Pyrenees out there, they'll guard them That's a big part of my Instagram feed It's just like a Pyrenees doing dope shit guarding chickens and goats and whatnot things of that nature really Oh, so not your feed that you're posting but just like things right see right right right right. Thank you Yeah, and then Sunday. Yeah, just one football football yesterday, man got outside hung out That's about it And then Sunday, yeah, just football, football yesterday, man. Got outside, hung out. That's about it.
Starting point is 00:23:10 So I will pass it on to you, Will. You know, it's your boy. Big weekend, big weekend. Got home from work on Friday. Went to the store. Picked up 12 beers. Picked up four Guinness just in case. You never know. You never know if someone wants a creamy boy.
Starting point is 00:23:30 And I sat down on that couch and I watched the Texas Longhorns play the Ohio State Buckeyes. I missed the fourth quarter. Well, I didn't miss the whole fourth quarter. But once it was evident that Ohio State was going to score and go up seven, I had to go put my child to bed and he took longer than I thought he would and so I missed the entire end of the game. Woke up about 1 30 in the morning and walked out and saw the score. Not great! Saturday just a big day overall. You know when you have something to look forward
Starting point is 00:24:04 to that day and in your entire day It's just getting ready to culminate The climax all at one point Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I did something. I haven't done in a minute. I did cold weather outdoor Battle Ranchos Classic ten-top Ranchos. Metal Ranchos, Metal Ranchos, Metal Ranchos, Metal Ranchos. Classic 10 top, classic 10 person dinner. All those people and not one invitation.
Starting point is 00:24:31 I didn't plan the dinner. I didn't know very many people at this dinner and I think you would have known even less Dylan. But dude, it was kind of like being like a gladiator out there. They had their heaters going with the flames. You know what I'm talking about? I don't know if gladiators have like flames as they walk in, but like it kind of like being like a gladiator out there. They had their heaters going with the flames. You know what I'm talking about? I don't know if gladiators have like flames as they walk in, but like it kind of felt like it.
Starting point is 00:24:52 While at Matt's, you're probably wondering, Will, what'd you order? You've been on a tacos al car bone kick recently. You know what I hit him with though? Azadero. Okay. How were they? Highly rated taco.
Starting point is 00:25:05 I didn't sub in the flour tortilla. Instead I went with the corn tortilla. And I think that's the move from now on. I don't think we need to be editing and telling the chefs what to do with their own creation. Had exactly one top shelf frozen margarita into exactly one knockout martini. And I think I'm good on knockouts for a little bit.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Had a little headache the next day. Had to pop some Advil. I'm not good on them yet. You know how I cured my hangover that morning? No. Yesterday morning, I did something I've never done before. I went to done before. I went to Chuck E. Cheese.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Charles? Are you guys familiar with Charles Entertainment Cheese Incorporated? Yeah. Very much so. I had never been to one. We didn't have one growing up. I've missed a couple of birthday parties that Fritz has been invited to at Said Chuck E. Cheese before.
Starting point is 00:25:59 I have to say, I'm a pretty big fan of Chuck E. Cheese. They've really upped their pizza. Their za game is crazy. It's the most eatable slices, clean. They brush it with that garlic butter. It's just good. Yeah, I've heard nothing but good things. I believe friend of the show, Dumb Zone Zone,
Starting point is 00:26:22 Jake Kemp will go there. He's claimed to have gone there by himself just to eat the pizza which I don't I could have easily cleared out an entire pizza had uh it not been inappropriate yesterday like it's the most eatable slices. I also put up some numbers I had the the high score the morning on the um the basketball game. Pop a shot? Yeah. Yeah, I was competing against a bunch of a four year olds who probably couldn't even make like get the ball to the rim. But yeah, I had the high score for a few minutes there.
Starting point is 00:26:54 So embarrassing for them. Cause watching you yam on them. Dude, I was crushing. I was crushing. I told Sally I had to go back. I kind of realized halfway through the party, like the kids party that I was playing more games than like some other kids were and stuff. So I had to go back. I kind of realized halfway through the party, like the kids party that I was playing more games than like some other kids were and stuff.
Starting point is 00:27:07 So I had to take a step back. I just got in the zone though. It was a pretty chill weekend after that. I got a new vinyl, David. Ooh. Nice little record in the collection. Had a gift certificate to Waterloo Records, downtown Austin, Texas.
Starting point is 00:27:25 And I snagged a little Sturgell album. Sick. Sturge. So I gave that a listen over the weekend as well. It was a nice little weekend. I didn't realize that In Bloom was a Nirvana cover. You know, man, I don't even know what you're talking about, but I'm glad you learned that.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Dave did. I know that The Promise is a cover song, but I didn't know that In Bloom was also one. How about that? Sell the kids for food, Dylan. Randy, you got you a final too, huh? No, I got six finals. Randy's absolutely snapped on the record front this weekend. What'd you get there, Hoss?
Starting point is 00:27:58 I got, of course, the most frat one, which is on my story, Animal House soundtrack. which is on my story, animal house soundtrack. Pretty good. I got Passion Pit, Gossamer, one of my albums. I like that. I sent a picture to Will. It's a cool ass record. It's like pink swirl and all that. Randy, never send me a stack of records again
Starting point is 00:28:18 that you just bought without showing me every record in the stack. I don't care what's on the top of the stack. Just show me every record. Lay them out. Lay them out, you tease. I was just showing you the stack. And then I got what's on the top of the stack. Just show me every record. Lay them out. Lay them out. You tease. I was just showing you the stack. And then I got a best of Eagles volume one and two.
Starting point is 00:28:29 So that's four. Then I got the best of the Dewey brothers volume two because I already had volume one. And what was the last one? Oh, Bruce Springsteen born in the USA. I did see that. I did see that Bruce sticking out. Yeah. In his collection. I originally had a doggy style, you know, a Snoop Dogg in there But I decided now I'll get that some other time great album. Could we get some more born in the USA from you?
Starting point is 00:28:54 Born in the USA That's good, dude. You sound just like the boss born in the USA. All right one more time. Hey born in the USA. All right, one more time. Hey. Born in the USA. All right. Randy, how are you tracking your record purchases? You know, I gotta think that like if it has some subscription or something, I don't, it would help.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Some type of service could help. I'm not doing anything, I'm not tracking them all. Just get on Discogs, bro. Oh, I thought. Yeah, I know what you thought. Yeah, yeah. All right, that was a shot, not an alley-oop. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Yeah, why'd you just goaltend me, dude? Randy, just get on Discogs, just scan the barcode of each of your albums and save them in your collection and you can always have a nice little running list. I'm just saying. You have so much time on your hands now that you're not binge drinking like you do every other week. That's true. That is true. Man, my weekend of fun. I didn't do anything but got so much done. Man, alcohol. We don't care, man. Yeah. I won't elaborate. We don't care man. Yeah, I want to elaborate
Starting point is 00:30:13 You're annoying you're probably saving so much money, okay here it is not drinking. Mm-hmm. We're all wasting money on things.

Yeah, Dylan put a note in the rundown for a segment and then clarified in it that it's Dylan. Yes.
Starting point is 00:32:09 There's always confusion. This segment is called, Should I Kick This Fuckin' Thing? Nice, you nailed it. Do we have a theme song for this? Should I Kick This Fuckin' Thing? Is what it's called. We don't have it. Do it to the tune of Born in the USA.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Should I have kicked this fucking thing? Man, you were close. How would you do it? Should I have kicked this fucking thing? I think mine was better. I think I'm gonna do the clean version and just take out fucking for this. I think it's gotta be, should I have kicked this thing? There it is. Yeah, it's a little wordy, but the segment is officially called, should I kick this fucking thing? It needs two syllables removed from it. It was Saturday afternoon, a beautiful day in Austin as we said previously, very sunny. I decided to take my dog Stella for a walk around the trail as I do very regularly.
Starting point is 00:33:00 One of my favorite things to do. This guy loves to walk. On the second half of the walk, we're on the way back. We often cross the Fluger Bridge. It's a pedestrian bridge. It's right there at South Amar over Lee to Bird Lake. Is that the one where there's a lot of proposals? Yeah. Yeah. Including our friend John Duda. Oh, yeah. Shout out.
Starting point is 00:33:23 He proposed on that bridge. Absolutely drippin' too. It's a very busy, popular bridge. It overlooks downtown Austin and the lake. It's beautiful and thus we like to walk on it. It's part of our route. Well, the thing I like about the pedestrian bridge is that it's for pedestrians.
Starting point is 00:33:41 That's correct. So we're crossing this bridge and I notice that there is a gathering of people up ahead. What's going on? You know, it's not abnormal to see a bunch of people on this bridge. I said very popular, people take pictures, whatever. As I get closer I realize what was going on. There is a, Randy hadn't put it up. There's a robot dog on the bridge. A robot dog, the kind that has four legs. This picture is from Amazon. It's a $4,000 item. It walks on four legs, like I said, and it's controlled with a remote. This one had a little cowboy hat on it. Real cute, right?
Starting point is 00:34:28 No, not so much. That actually makes it weirder. It does. I'm walking up and this thing is surrounded by people with people have their phones out, like they haven't seen one of these before. It's like, whatever. They're freaking out over it. Oh, look at this robot dog.
Starting point is 00:34:49 This, the guy who was controlling this little fucker was fucking with dogs. Real dogs like having it run up to him and stuff. Chasing them. Like, yeah, like running up to him and stopping real quick and dogs were panicking. They didn't know what the fuck this thing was. They're freaking out. As I'm walking up to this group, there's this lady with her. She had a Dalmatian. We were crossing paths. Where were the other 100? Yeah. Yeah, and this dog was in a full on panic so much so that it like it was it was like trying
Starting point is 00:35:22 to get away from this thing and cuts in front of Stella we get crossed up with our leashes the whole thing. And I'm like, it was like, try and get away from this thing. And cuts in front of Stella, we get crossed up with our leashes, the whole thing. And I'm like, who is controlling this thing? I'm like panning, it's a lot of a lot of people around. So I'm like, you know, panning the crowd there. And I see this little fucker with a little remote and he's kind of like, ha ha, he's chuckling. What's the remote look like?
Starting point is 00:35:39 He's got a group of buddies. It's like a PS5. It looked, it looked like a, it looked like a, what's the handheld PlayStation thing called? PSP. PSP, it looked like that. But it could have been like a self or a, yeah, like an iPhone that was- Okay, looks like you intended to switch.
Starting point is 00:35:56 Like you inserted into a thing that had joysticks on it. Oh God. And this guy had some buddies with him and they were just cackling. They thought it was hilarious that they were just running up to dogs and freaking out chasing all over the place. This woman was clearly distraught because her dog was freaking out.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Stella, as I get up there, oh, by the way, I'm painting the crowd. I like guys with this guy and I give him like a don't do it look like you're going to leave me alone. And he kind of did because I think he could tell I wasn't down with whatever he was doing. Sick. And he kind of did, because I think he could tell I wasn't down with whatever he was doing. Sick. But he was like running up to dogs with the little fucking robot thing and just scaring
Starting point is 00:36:31 the shit out of all these dogs walking by. It wasn't cool. A group of people, like I said, were just like, oh, look at this thing. This is so funny. Should I kick this fucking thing? I think you should have kicked this fucking thing. Should I kick this fucking thing? What kind of laws have kicked this fucking thing. Should I kick this fucking thing? What kind of laws are there around kicking someone's thing in public that's disturbing
Starting point is 00:36:49 the peace? I feel like if he runs up on you, it's like a stand your ground situation. Yeah, you could have popped out that thing. I could have thrown it into the fucking river too. That would have been great, honestly. I was so annoyed. I was like, what are you doing, man? This is the most awesome shit too.
Starting point is 00:37:04 Is there a better place to go fucking play with this? This doesn't happen in New York. In New York, this thing's fucking kicked and disassembled. This thing's hanging from a bridge in New York. Yeah. Yeah. They're taking it to a back room and fucking putting nails in its hands. Like the pause. Every dog, I heard one of his friends go, dude, there's so many dogs right now. And every dog was just freaking the fuck out. They didn't know what the hell. Did you guys think they were cool? Yes.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Were they like, well, we're gonna finally get some chicks? Were they wearing Oracle fleeces? I'm guessing mid-20s. You know it. Mid-20s, like real shit head age, like old enough to know better, but not enough to. What's the hair? Broccoli?
Starting point is 00:37:34 I don't, it was cold out. I think they had hats and hoodies on and shit. And you know, it was just a real shit head crowd. Were they dorks or were they like? Dorks. Okay. It was dork status. Okay. I could haveork status. Okay. I could have handled this kid pretty easily.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Why didn't you beat the fucking piss out of him? But if he- We gotta know. He left Stella alone for the most part as we were walking through this big gathering of people. But had he run up to Stella and kept at it, I may have kicked this fucking thing. How many people were like,
Starting point is 00:38:04 didn't have dogs and were just like, wow, that's, I'll be damn, that's really cool. 30. Oh God, you. His group, his group of friends, probably eight deep. Eight deep with the robot dog. So hey, I got this robot dog material. I'm gonna go fuck with people.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Y'all wanna come join me and they all like linked up. What's that group text look like? Yo, we're gonna go down a penny. What is it? What bridge? Flugr bridge. Come on dude, Flugr. We're bringing the robot dog. He's got a name for it, clearly. He have to. I got back to my place and Chelsea was there and I was telling her about it. She was like, oh my God, I would have been so fucking pissed. Yeah, I was pissed.
Starting point is 00:38:36 What a shithead, man. Find a better use of your fucking dog robot than to just terrify other dogs, remind them of their own business. They don't know what's going on. Did any of the dogs get aggressive with it? No, they were just running from it. Smart. Yeah, they were panicked. There's a human robot running up to you
Starting point is 00:38:52 and heat checking you, like I'm not gonna square up to a robot, it might rip my esophagus out. I'm gonna kick him in his sternum. Yeah, you're right. You might punch me in the nuts. Will's right, you're both right. I didn't kick the fucking thing, but I wanted to kick the fucking thing.
Starting point is 00:39:05 What's it made of? I think plastic, it's very quiet. You can just hear a little feet just like pitter pattering on the pavement. And it's about the same size as our dogs, Dave. It's about, it's like a medium to large size dog, about that big. So it looks, you know, it's the size of a dog,
Starting point is 00:39:23 moves like a dog, but you know, to to a dog's eyes clearly not an actual dog and they just didn't know what to make of this damn thing. You gotta get a permit in my opinion. What a shithead. Yeah that's annoying. This poor Dalmatian was like am I about to get got by this robot? I mean like I get if you've got like money just to blow like you buy this to have like and dick around with like what's the point? I don't know. What are you doing with that thing. It's like a remote control car, but it moves on four legs. It's not even as cool. No, it's not. It's not as cool. Anyway, I hope it turns on him. I wanted to share that with y'all. It was really irritating. Have
Starting point is 00:39:57 you heard that about robot dogs? They'll turn on you. They're bright like their heads. Something weird. Yeah. Yeah. He'll still snap at you. Their circuit board, mainframe. Don't do this. Don't do this, people. It's a better use of your time, better use of your fucking stupid toy. I was really irritated. I can't even like, I mean,
Starting point is 00:40:17 Rosie doesn't even like being around other dogs at this point. Yeah. I missed her birthday the other day. I feel really bad about it. Like you forgot it was her birthday? Yeah. I had it birthday the other day. I feel really bad about it. Like you forgot it was her birthday? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:27 I had it on the calendar and everything. Stella's is February 1st. I was too Longhorns coated. I hear you, man. It happens. I just, I wasn't even thinking about it. She did eat some pizza out of my buddy's hand the other night though, like on her birthday.
Starting point is 00:40:40 So I'm kind of thinking like, maybe she thought, maybe she knew. She was like, actually I'm gonna take matters into my own paws. The good thing about dogs is they don't know that it's their birthday. So she's not gonna hold it against you. I think she knows dude, you don't know that kind of gave me a look. Damn. I mean, we just got we just had surgery on her. Like she's probably just sitting there like, God, these fox. They don't remember
Starting point is 00:40:57 my birthday. They're putting me under the knife. What am I supposed to be doing? I'm glad Stella made it through. Dude, Randy would have been freaked out, dude. Dude, Stella was freaked out. He's very skittish. She was up on two legs, just doing the horse thing. She was panicked. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:16 Do you think Stella's telling the group chat right now? Like, dude, I saw the craziest shit over the weekend. I don't know that she's in a group chat. Aw. She might be in our Lutz one. Yeah, maybe that's one of her numbers. I don't have that she's in a group chat. Aw. She might be in our Lutes one. Yeah, maybe that's one of her numbers. You don't have all the numbers. That's fair. That's a fair point.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Anyway, thank you guys for hearing me out. Man. I'm gonna take off my chest. Yeah, that's nerd-coded, dude. Yeah. Randy, were you a part of this group? Did you see Dylan and then you turned around and covered your face? No, but I gotta imagine the demographic you said shit had to one of those us I gotta feel like they were doing content and we could probably find these guys
Starting point is 00:41:48 I was thinking the exact same. Yeah, like they wanted I think they wanted you to step to it so they could be like Mail Karen in Austin, Texas. Yeah, folks. Oh my god I thought not even if they weren't recording there was like 20 other phones just pointed at this fucking thing So this is these are these are drone guys. They have they graduated from the drone. They got bored of drones. Now it's like we got to get the dog out. That's all it is.
Starting point is 00:42:11 The same thing just on the ground. Imagine like just sitting there. Yeah, like you got a restaurant late night and you walk out. Streets kind of empty and then suddenly you just see like a hundred of those things just running down the street. What do you do? That would be pretty creepy. 30 to 50 of them. Is it open season on those things too?
Starting point is 00:42:33 Welcome to Texas. Are you sure that wasn't a robotic javelina? This guy f**ked with the wrong ombre. That thing's going to end up in a creek. I'm telling you. So might he. What if the rainy ripper was on the bridge? He just sliced that thing's throat. Yeah, I don't you, some might eat. What if the Randy Ripper was on the bridge? He just sliced that thing's throat.
Starting point is 00:42:48 Yeah, I don't know, man. I don't think it bleeds out though. It'd be a little too realistic. Yeah, yeah. Unnecessary. He had a little cowboy hat attached to its head. Well, real cute, bro. Dude, it probably wasn't even a fucking nice one.
Starting point is 00:43:02 It was like this big. So yeah, it was. They don't even make Stetson's that small. Yeah, dude. No. No, those rich fucks probably got a custom Stetson for their robot dog with all their Oracle money. Sorry if you work at Oracle, you probably hate your job. Oracle money.
Starting point is 00:43:22 Can I put you guys onto something real quick? Yeah. Yeah, dude. Hold on, let me put you onto something. Okay. You guys hear about these playoffs? Yeah. You know what I'm talking about. We're talking about the playoffs, baby.

Starting point is 00:45:15 See dkng.co slash audio. It's a hot URL right there. Talking Zuck, trying to get Zucked on. Randy, can you put that photo up and just leave it up? Well, which one? The first one? All right. I just want this to be on the screen as we do it.
Starting point is 00:45:33 Yeah, go ahead and make that big, make it big one time. It's pretty big already, man. Good job. I like it. So I don't know if you saw or I guess you listened to, Zuck went on Rogan and I did not listen to it all though. I did see some clips going around and he's basically kind of It's a little bit of a hey, we got a little crazy with our Facebook our meta censorship things of that nature. Okay fine
Starting point is 00:46:00 I'm not gonna listen to it. I don't really care but One thing we've seen over the last couple years is the Zuck transformation. He's chain guy now. He's a lot of things. And he's such chain guy. He's really into the chains. He's always just at least one outside the shirt. But I like that for the photo shoot, he was like, no, I want to look like I want to make me look like Mac Miller. It's funny because he can do whatever he want to his appearance but the guy behind the face like the guy talking is just so dork coded at all times he can't get away from his dorkiness. I think he's trying to get away from his dorkiness. It's the juxto between his appearance and his actual personality. Well I clicked the for you tab on twitter which is always dicey sometimes I do and I'm really bored and I've run through
Starting point is 00:46:46 My followers aren't really producing the content at the volume. I'd like them to sometimes I look at it I'm like this is for me. Yeah, it look it makes me question a lot because I look I'm like why was this for me? this is very dark and nihilistic and Doesn't really paint a good picture of the future of the world. But here we are. Sometimes it gives you gold. Like a tweet thread I found from someone on Twitter, D the dimer, and his tweet thread, it said, this caught my eye. The Zuckerberg transformation theory that's breaking the internet. What is that theory? Well, 2023, this did happen. Zuck hurt his knee. I think he popped an ACL or something doing some MMA training. I really like this theory. I don't really know how prevalent it is, but it's talking about how that moment changed everything. The theory is that what led to
Starting point is 00:47:42 the new Zuck was that injury because because his doctor would put him on, go to put him on testosterone replacement therapy during his recovery process to help speed it along and that changed Zuck and it turned it turned him into this version of Zuck that we're seeing now and now I can't stop thinking. Come on. And now it just rewired his brain. He's just brimming with tea now. Yeah. And it's made him cooler. He is brimming with tea, unfortunately. He is. I've watched probably four or five clips from his appearance on Rogan, just on Twitter, that are extended five-minute clips. And it's a totally different person than the smoking these meats guy. It's night and day, the difference that he's gone through. Some of the evidence he points out in the thread
Starting point is 00:48:25 is suddenly jacked physique, yes, that makes sense. A more assertive speaking style, yes. Interest in masculine hobbies like weapons training, Randy. Even his voice has dropped a little bit deeper, I don't know about that one, but this is my favorite. Shout out to a friend of the show, second time he's been referenced. Jake. Uh new iced
Starting point is 00:48:47 out chain which I don't really know if that's like a a sign of testosterone. You just start getting icy with it. But um here you go. This is like a guy who's gonna sell me really bad weed. Yeah. That's a great. I don't know. I look at this and
Starting point is 00:49:01 I think it might be okay weed. But he's selling it. Yeah. He's still yeah, he's holding still moving product. But like, I feel like I feel like if that guy came up to me and said you want to buy some weed, I'd be like, you probably got some good shit. So it's like the new is the new CIA mind control the new MK Ultra is it just MK alpha? Is it just they are just dialing up testosterone and industry thought leaders like Zuck and MK Ultra, is it just MK Alpha? Is it just, they are just dialing up testosterone
Starting point is 00:49:25 and industry thought leaders like Zuck and Elon, Elon not so much. He hasn't had quite the transformation, but. I mean, look at Bezos. Look at Bezos, clearly on something. He looks like every other dude at the lifetime. He's in demon mode. Bezos is on gear for sure.
Starting point is 00:49:46 Did you see he had, there was some fallout for a few comments that Zuck made on Rogan. I'm not seeing. He thinks masculinity is being taken out of the workplace. Zuck said that? Yeah. Dude, so maybe, damn, is this true? He also criticized Apple for not being innovative and saying that they haven't made any new innovative product in the last 20 years since the iPhone. But then people were pretty quick to point out that they're still pretty much the leader in laptops, PCs, and they also have created world-class headphones and everyone's addicted to every product they have, so maybe they're not doing that bad No, they're doing all right
Starting point is 00:50:28 What's the last big? Jumping tech and the iPhone. I don't know I Like I don't I truly think that we live in a society where no one gives a shit about any of the tech Outside of having a better camera. I can't imagine what more they could do. Surely there are things. There's some things. They ruined the photos app. Yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Something with that. Terrible. It's impossible to find photos now. Just the setup of it's terrible. I even re-rigged it for myself to like switch up all the categories. Still just terrible. Yeah, that kind of happened in the last year and we never really talked about it, but it is, it is shit.
Starting point is 00:51:15 You need to go in there and search for a photo real quick. It is not easy. I still have trouble because most of my, the stuff I need for work is in my favorites and just even navigating to that is just weird. So anyway, Zuck's on T, cool, more power to him. And now he's just, there he is. Oh man, he's looking thick there. Look at that hair, dude. The oversized t-shirt thing is like, it's got to go at some point. I feel like he's it's it's visibly dressing younger than what he is and I think it makes him look older. Like it's just too baggy. His face is just funny. He looks like his head his head is begging for an aloe hat.
Starting point is 00:51:59 God damn. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like this guy would this guy would make fun of me for being too old to be at the bar at Lavaca Street on a Saturday night watching LSU. This dude, this is the guy who bought a boat like the second month he lived in Austin just to like take like three of his boys out and try to get some chicks. And it's like the most wakeboarding looking boat you've ever seen. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. He's blasting. But he's got chicks on there because he's like the most wakeboarding looking boat you've ever seen. Oh yeah. He's blasting. But he's got chicks on there because he's got the nice boat. It's really all it takes. He doesn't
Starting point is 00:52:31 have a boat slip though. He's got to put it in. Yeah. There's a wait list. Shout out to Zuck. I remember you tried to kidnap his dad. No, I didn't try to. I was just letting everyone know that I could have and I chose not to because I'm not that kind of guy. If we kidnapped his dad, we'd be dead in an hour. I don't know about that, man. Two hours. Maybe I just would have asked for a billion. Maybe masculinity has left the workplace.
Starting point is 00:52:59 You won't even kidnap his dad. You're not even drinking, so. It was just funny because his dad was up there at this panel interview and they were talking about dentistry. Like no one cares about what Mark Zuckerberg's dad has to say about teeth. His son is Mark Zuckerberg. Why is his dad grinding South By events,
Starting point is 00:53:19 doing meet and greets and shit when he could just like, I don't know, go and just live at Zuck's house in Hawaii. Weirdly, uh, the sound was pumping from that interview in the bathroom. So if you're just in there peeing, you were just hearing Zuck's dad talk about teeth. There were 12 people. Usually they have like a separate playlist for the bathroom. It's music.
Starting point is 00:53:38 I mean, there was no one there listening to them. It was so funny. It was very bizarre. Good stuff, man. They just released the program for the inauguration. Who we got? No real hitters outside of Carrie Underwood's doing America the Beautiful.
Starting point is 00:53:58 Okay. It's kind of hoping Kid Rock would do that. How do you not give Kid Rock a performance during the inauguration after he's been side by side with you so long during the election? He's he's been a ride or die. He just doesn't have the singing chops. Let him sing Born Free. All right. Fair enough.
Starting point is 00:54:16 Anything else notable? No, no. I mean, says the presidents of the United States of America are going to be there. Do you think they're going to do lump? I don't know. They'll probably start with peaches for sure. Yeah. I didn't know. I don't know. I didn't know the J and Donald J. Trump was John. J W N. We go into space real quick. We tap into space. We got a little space bar had Head tip to the subreddit for calling me out for not having talked about this yet. Yeah, what's your problem? You're supposed to be the guy who brings all the space news in here and you haven't brought the space bar in forever. It's happening right now. We're not late. Space bar. Tonight is actually the night. Tonight is the best night for this.
Starting point is 00:55:00 Yeah, but what if someone's listening to the episode tomorrow then that's on them So there is a comet passing by earth that happens once every 160,000 years So you probably won't catch the next one. How do we know though? How do we know? Like with someone around 160,000 years ago to be like there it is science They just know how these things work the patterns and them is it the Hubble telescope They look back in time or is it the James Webb? It was first spotted back in April of 2014 when it was how many million, 400 million miles away. See, it's like when they says your Uber's 10 minutes away,
Starting point is 00:55:35 it's kind of like that same math. Comet Atlas. Okay, thank you. Comet Atlas will most likely be visible tonight, Monday, January 13th. It is most visible in the southern hemisphere. Unfortunately, I know most people listening are not in the southern hemisphere, but maybe one or two of you are. I'm checking.
Starting point is 00:55:58 No, I think we're in the northern. We're in the northern hemisphere. That is correct. Can I ask a dumb question about this comet Atlas? Yeah. So this thing's been burning for 160,000 years? Just zooming around space? TfM.
Starting point is 00:56:13 I don't think it's burning. Or it's been, what is a comet, hypothetically, for people out there who don't know? It's a big space rock. But like, it's just been cruising through space for 160,000 years? And it probably will Will for another hundred sixty billion years. I don't know. I don't get the logistics until it hits something
Starting point is 00:56:30 I burned enough scented candles in my life knowing that like most things that burn have a shelf life again I don't think this is burning per se it looks like it's burning. It does look like it's burning, but it's not I think it's burning Anyway, it's not on fire. Yeah, comets don't have fire in the sense of a constant flame, but they appear like they have fire like qualities when they get close to the sun. This is, yeah, tonight it'll be closest to the sun. It'll be in 160,000 years. I think it'll be around 8 million miles away.
Starting point is 00:56:59 From the sun? From earth. How far from the sun? I don't know. I don't know, but check it out tonight. Why should we care from the sun? I don't know. I don't know. But check it out tonight. Why should we care about this comet? Because it's cool.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Just you can, it's not every day you can look up in the sky and see a comet passing by and it's kind of a cool thing. It's kind of facts. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Check it out. It's kind of facts. I don't know which way in the night sky to look. South.
Starting point is 00:57:20 Probably south since the Southern Hemisphere thing. That's probably a good bet. But hopefully you get a clear sky tonight. Remember the drones? Yeah. No one's talking about the drones. Yeah, no. The drones kind of fell in the back rear view mirror for a little bit. They just go back to their Iranian mothership. I think they're still around. Trump said that he was gonna get that thing figured out day one,
Starting point is 00:57:44 so we'll see. We'll see. Day one. That's like he was gonna get that thing figured out day one. So we'll see we'll see Day one. That's like his first thing one of his many first things. Okay It's probably a good night to look to be nice and clear here I believe don't yeah check it out You can check it out. Well, I think you should man. Take your take your boys out I'm trying to think baby Baby's not gonna care. Like, I don't have a good viewing area, you know? I got mad trees around. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:12 I just don't know if I care about this comet all that much. Wow. All right, man. Okay. You're just not a space guy. I kind of feel like the government might be using a lot of space stuff lately. You don't respect space. From the drones to all this stuff about Roswell to everything, like, I just kind all this stuff about Roswell to everything.
Starting point is 00:58:26 Like I just kind of feel like they might be doing something like the other side of things. The government didn't put this comment up there. Are you sure? Yeah. You're sure? Yes, this is a naturally occurring comment. You don't think Joe Biden threw that comment up there and said, hey, let's distract everybody while I go pardon my other kids?
Starting point is 00:58:43 I don't think that's what's going on. I wonder who the other kids? I don't think that's what's going on. I wonder who's the other kid. Who would've passed the old sleepy Joe? Did you see someone ask about pardoning himself? How'd that go? Are you going to pardon yourself? And he was like, what? He's like, I haven't done anything wrong.
Starting point is 00:58:57 What do you mean, man? Hey. That's malarkey. Anyway, there's a couple of people out here who appreciate the information I just shared with them. Dude, I appreciate the info. That's malarkey. Anyway, there's a couple of people out here who appreciate the information I just shared with them. Dude, I appreciate the info. I just call, man.
Starting point is 00:59:08 I do have questions that I only think a... How about this? I will go look tonight and if I see it, I'm going to alert the squad. Go check this shit out. It's kind of dope. It'll look like a streaking light in the sky. It'll be like hanging up there. But in reality, it's moving very, very
Starting point is 00:59:25 fast. What are you looking up, Dave? I'm trying to see if you can spot the comet from Texas. Ah, don't do this to us. If we can't see it from Texas, this is a big waste of time. Not everybody listening is in Texas. Yeah, no, you're right. No, it's fair. Dylan, I think you may have some trouble, but they say if you look real hard, you might be able to see Uranus. Okay, I'll check out Uranus.
Starting point is 00:59:51 I think there's any like Brazilian smoke shows that are listening right now. Just being like, oh, thank God Dylan said this. We can now go out and see this comet in the southern hemisphere. Yes, I do. Yes, I do. Bro, she's a smoke show pro. Oh, man. Have I been to the southern hemisphere? No. How south you gotta go? Where's the equator? Where does it pass? It's right through Ecuador. I've
Starting point is 01:00:15 been been south of Ecuador. I was just kidding. I don't know if that's true. Dude, I don't think I've ever been down there. It's way down there. I gotta get down there. South America. Dumb question, is Hawaii in the southern hemisphere? I do not know. No. No. In the constitution to be a state or a territory, you have to, when you flush the toilet, it has to go the same way. That's true. I'd love to see that someday. It does go through Ecuador. Which way does it flush? Does it really? Yeah. Fuck yeah. Which way does a toilet? Does it really? Yeah. Fuck yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:45 Which way does a toilet flush if you're right on the equator? Just go straight down? Guys, they can just make it change. You know that, right? Like they can just make it change. I just blew your mind, didn't I, David? Dude, is there anything scarier
Starting point is 01:00:58 that you flush that airplane toilet mid-flight and just like, It just sucks everything. You're just like, whoa, fuck, is that gonna take me now? Just get your arm out of there shit just start spraying out of the plane rainy will you look up which way toilet flush is right on the equator okay I don't think the answer is gonna be very inspiring yeah does it go straight down no it just I think it hard to say. You don't even know. They can change it.
Starting point is 01:01:25 Who's they? Plumbers. They can't. It's not just always the same way. Yeah, it is. No, it's not. I'm pretty sure it is, dog. No.
Starting point is 01:01:35 I mean, I think there's a way you could, I guess if you wanted, why would you ever wanna make that modification? It just depends on the toilet. Hey, so which way do you want your toilet to flush? Like you just love, you're from like, you're from like Chile and you're like, I gotta. Yeah, I wanna stick.
Starting point is 01:01:47 Just I miss home. I wanna stick with tradition. I wanna watch this Mondo go the other way. Randy, what you got? I think, I think Will's right here. I'm seeing, I'm seeing the AI overview and this first article saying the direction of the toilet bowl water swirls at the equator
Starting point is 01:02:00 as most do with the toilets manufacturer. It has more to do with the manufacturer than does physics and phenomena. But you know, hurricanes and storms do spin the other way because of that, so. Is that true? Yeah. Did not know.
Starting point is 01:02:16 Call me the toilet daddy. You are the, okay, toilet daddy. Thank you for that tidbit there, bud. Please, the Coriolis effect, I think. I'm gonna look it up. I think I might be right here, but yeah. I believe it's the Coriolis effect, I think. I'm gonna look it up. I think I might be right here, but yeah. I am corn. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 01:02:29 Sorry. No, your toilet seat. Coriolis sounds like a defenseman for like the senators. Coriolis. What'd you find out, Randy? Yes, it is the Coriolis effect, I believe. Look at you, man. Yes, yes.
Starting point is 01:02:49 Look at that, man. You might learn something here. Everyone listening learned a little something today. It might not be useful, I understand, but you know something. You're welcome. We're gonna call this episode Mondos at the Equator. Straight down.
Starting point is 01:03:07 I kind of feel like I've robbed myself of not going to the Southern Hemisphere. I feel like we got to get down there. You got time, bro. There's no way to go. You're not even 40 yet. You can book a trip in a flight. Yeah, just go. I got to get there before I turn 40, yo.
Starting point is 01:03:17 Go to Chile. Yes. We'll see the Andes Mountains. Have you not scaled K2? Oh dude, I've never scaled K2. K2 is definitely in the Northern hemisphere, right? Yeah, let's go swim in the Ganges. Go to-
Starting point is 01:03:28 It's in Pakistan. Go to South Africa and swim with the great whites. I don't want to go to Africa yet. Seems like a big commitment to get over there. Gotta get shots and stuff. We're gonna go on the safari. Isn't South America travel on the enlist? Famously.
Starting point is 01:03:43 They'll listen to retail therapy. The Coriolis effect makes storms swirl clockwise in the southern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. How about that? So do all hurricanes coming out of the Gulf of America, do they all go clockwise? What if they cross the equator? Yeah, what happens? Do they shift course?
Starting point is 01:04:00 From my geosciences in the cinema class, I believe they can't. They can't cross the, that's interesting. If I think I remember that from that class and I was like, that's pretty cool. So if you live just above the equator and there's one coming at you, you're like, I'm fine. I was gonna cross the equator. It's gonna dissipate.
Starting point is 01:04:18 There's everyone coming by me. Like, ah. That's interesting, Randy. Don't, I'll have to look into that more. That might be completely false, but I think I remember that. Skirt, skirt, skirt. Skirt, what is that?
Starting point is 01:04:29 I saw that on the write-up. What is skirt? Can hurricanes cross the equator? No, hurricanes cannot cross the equator because of the Coriolis force. That's what Randy's been saying. Yeah. Huh, Randy. Hey.
Starting point is 01:04:40 Randy's not a dumb-dumb. I thought he was. Okay, well. He's not toilet daddy. Coriolis. He's not a not the dumb dumb I thought he was okay. Well, he's not toilet daddy Not a toilet UNT Those fun Coriolis offensive line middle Tennessee State
Starting point is 01:04:59 toilet daddy Fun show out of all the things I could be the daddy of, I think toilets are probably not my top dogs. That would be a good plumber name. Do they just die or do they just bounce off the equator and go back south again? It's like a bumper land. It's like a bong. Yeah, it's like a bumper.
Starting point is 01:05:15 Huh. They make that noise too. Boing, boing, boing. It's like a DVD screen. Bumpers don't make that sound when you're bowling. If you have a fun one, it does. Okay. If you have Dave doing the sound effects.
Starting point is 01:05:28 No, it just makes the doink. It just goes, dude. Was I talking about with you, who was I talking about it with? Where like, is it a red flag? If like, if you went on a first date with a girl and you went bowling and then you shot, you bowled like a 250.
Starting point is 01:05:40 Like is she running after that? That was on the podcast. How much time do you spend here? Yeah. Not exactly five minutes. Bowling is not exactly a sexy hobby, you know? Try to think of like what's the most unimpressive but impressive first date I could bring someone on?
Starting point is 01:05:57 Like where they'd be like, oh, this guy's got a weird interest. Is that worse than me shooting like a 2800 golden tee on a first date? Oh yeah, that's how it came up. Yeah. Oh wow, you're that's how it came up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Oh, wow. You're really good at this video game. Yeah, you're suspiciously good at golden cool, dude A really good first date idea would be just to go down at the equator And just kind of go check this out go to one side of it then take the boat right to the other like now
Starting point is 01:06:19 We're on this hey go use the toilet over here check it out and then use it again over here and see what happens It's gonna blow your shit. It's called the Cory Ollis effect It's a corn holiest effect Do you think you'll ever go to the southernmost tippity United States in Key West? Yeah, sure. Why not? I Think flounder goes there once a month skipping a jump from Cuba. Oh It's about a hundred miles right you could swim it. I've done it. I would like to go to Cuba. I've heard it's underwhelming. I don't need to go. I heard they have some updates they need to make. I think that's part of the charm. Yeah, I think it's all we're looking for. I'm out,
Starting point is 01:06:55 and for that reason, I'm out. We could just go to that place on Congress. Same thing. Yeah. I'm going to be knee there later today. You guys want me to pick you up any carnitas? I'll give it, man. Okay. You just let me know. All right. All right, boys and girls. Bye.
Starting point is 01:07:12 Bye. Bye. Thanks for watching guys!
