All right, we're back circling back podcast coming to you live from Austin, Texas. My name is Will DeFries to my left, David, the Dallas star himself, Rolf. No one's ever called me the Dallas star. But if you want to start doing that, I'm fine with it. And I appreciate it. Dylan gave me a look, Dylan, as if he didn't approve. But this isn't about Dylan. This is about me.

And I've got a life update I'm just going to kick off with. and I've got a life update I'm just going to kick off with. As of last night, I'm officially two episodes into Barry. Oh, wow. Dude, why are you doing this? Barry? Buddy? Have you met NoHo Hank yet?

Oh, yeah. You're not still watching, are you? No. I've seen some chatter, some booty chatter, that this latest season is actually pretty damn good. Is that true? Well, yeah, but no offense, DJ Bean, but I'm starting to realize that the media that DJ and I take in,

I think we're on different waves. He has a lot of anti-Taylor Swift things that go on. He is so adamantly against Ted Lasso for reasons that I understand. DJ or Barry? DJ. Okay. DJ. And, but he's been hot on Barry this year and Barry got so dark for me that I had to abandon ship. I didn't enjoy it anymore. Should I not pick it back up? I'm not telling you what to do. I'm not telling Dave what to do. That's what I read. I think it was Sepp and Wall. Somebody was talking about how he wasn't comparing. comparing well i guess he was kind of saying how

breaking bad started as kind of quirky then it got dark toward the end which i think it was dark before that it was always dark the dude had cancer that's yeah that's that's what walking dead did to me when negan entered the picture i was it got way dark yeah it turned up the heat big time they're specifically one episode yeah yeah i've been begging you to start dave for a long time i think you're just not doing it because his name's dave and you don't want there to be another dave in the mix and i get that i just like i like bill hater yeah that's fine he does have more of a following than i do i like bill hater and through two episodes i i like that they're like 26 minutes long. Yeah.

Season one, I loved season one. Easy to consume. It became so dark for me that it wasn't something I was looking forward to watching. It was something I was like, all right, I got to mentally prep myself to get into this. Maybe I won't continue then. No, no, don't let me sway you. I'm mentally weak. That's true.

I'm mentally weak. No, Hank, though, A plus let me sway you. I'm mentally weak. That's true. I'm mentally weak. No Ho Hank, though, A plus character. Goated her. A plus. If they did a No Ho Hank spinoff, I would watch every episode twice. A flamboyant, just ruthless killer, gangster, awesome. Body? Chechen mob.

See, it's the juxtaposition. Yeah. Yeah. I'm excited for you, Dave. Oh, thank you. you yeah i don't i'm sitting there i've got a few nights for the uh the hockey get gets back into gear and i was like you know what i'm gonna go barry you're like i need to feel that i need to feel the tense nature of playoff hockey on a regular night now so i'm gonna start watching exactly dairy yeah that's i i did not know i knew the only thing i knew was that he was a hitman yeah i did not know like what what else you know what they

were gonna do with his character and like how i didn't know anything really other than that so it was it was nice because then when like he goes to stumbles upon the acting class i was like oh okay i remember someone talking about this so it's been a nice experience too barry just made me go in on dj bean within three minutes of the podcast he's gonna listen to this episode not expecting to catch strays we need to make a video we need to do the barstool model a little bit more within watch media when you start beefing with like in-house podcasts a little bit more dude fuck the brunch guys those guys are ass fuck those guys they famously uh had me watch an episode of uh dawson's creek or seventh heaven or something i think it was dawson's creek and we did a podcast on it and then they mysteriously uh lost the audio i think they were doing a bit

that like they never told you they're doing a bit. I think I'm going to find out in six years that that was just a bit. He actually side texted me. He said, Dave's episode was so bad we just deleted it and didn't tell him. Maybe so. We've deleted plenty of episodes that have been bad. But that's never because of you. It's usually because of Will. Dylan Chivary, ladies and gentlemen.

The Vegas Knight. I just pulled a TBM, which is a total boomer move. I got a text look over at my phone. My flashlight was on. No telling how long it's been on, but it was on. I hate that. So embarrassing. Do you see someone walking around with a flashlight on their phone?

I feel like such an idiot. It was like every old dude at the kentucky derby who had a race program and they were inside like i saw numerous dudes that just still had it going on in their suit pocket while they were walking around love that yeah uh the mug of the day by the way i think this might actually be a mug that was sent to dave for some reason could be wrong anyway it is a recycling bin coffee mug. Thanks to whoever sent this in. Love it. Yeah, because if they would have sent it to you,

it would have been a trash can. Well, okay. Just for your takes. Right. That's fair. I'll take that. I've got my Detroit Red Wings mug today, which was also sent to me by a listener. Cheers to you, Red Wings fan. That's arguably the best mug in the company.

Yeah, yeah. This one is on take home and use at home alert. It's fine. It's shaped like a normal mug. But I famously don't have a fucking coffee machine right now. We're on week three. Maybe if it had like a hockey stick handle or something to really set it off, I'd give you more credit for it.

Not every mug needs to be a novelty mug. I don't agree. That's just a classic mug yeah dude i love drinking mugs out of asses and toilets and and garbage cans i do too man that's my kind of my thing yeah i always like when the mug itself presents a problem to the in intaking the liquid you're calling out the um i wasn't calling sour patch kids one that our great friend sent sent or brought here actually you went ahead and exposed them not me well also I think I went too hard at the gym this morning don't care hard don't care man what did you buy what does it feel like when you go too hard your body's trying

to tell you to chill out a little bit I think I think it means you like can't stop talking about it yeah I don't know man yeah hey do me a favor actually can you send the stats from your workout to uh klein so that you can get humbled a little bit since he burns more active calories than you on a regular basis he doesn't though he has a different setting than he uses nah dude he's dude klein's putting up fucking active calorie numbers that are unseen by the shivery ilk i i can hang with klein and a calorie off nah dude yeah you're leaving calories on the table i don't think so he's just burning him he's having a bonfire with all the calories burning not concerning are you are concerning though are you today man dude i'm good i'm good uh i got a full

night's rest last night i went to bed at 9 p.m last night and i woke up at 7 a.m today so and i don't think i woke up very much in between that. So your boy is feeling refreshed. He's feeling good. He's ready for podcast week to roll on. He's even ready to dive into some loaded episode topics today. What about our review of the week? You have that loaded up?

Why don't you chill out? God, dude, he always does this. He always does the thing. He always does the fucking thing, dude. I thought you needed assist yeah like that's not that's absolutely not what i was looking for can you guys speak to yesterday's exactly five minutes what was your favorite topic from yesterday's exactly five minutes on patreon patreon.com circling back i have this podcast case of just episode blindness right after we record i forget what we talked about it sounds like you went too hard in the gym this morning.

Yeah, I think so too. I liked when we were just on here talking about that stuff. I'll give you a real answer here in a sec. Wasn't there something about a piece of content we've produced in the past? The worst piece of Grand X content we've produced? I enjoyed talking about the top three American cities we've visited. I feel like I bricked that answer and I'm not ready to like, but I also haven't come up with any better options.

I'm happy with what I did. I won't reveal it here, but I think most people are probably like, you know what? Those are good, adequate cities. Patreon.com slash circling back podcast gets you two episodes a week, one on Tuesday, one on Thursday.

If you hit that opto tier just go check it out there's a two-week free preview and if you're interested in the actual episodes themselves there is a five-minute preview on each of them at this point me and randy are making that happen for all the people at home all right fine dylan we can finally get to it it's time for will's five-star review right of the week it's got sound effect you can't you can't go ahead and say something about it before i have the sound effect queued up dude it's not how it works there's a synergy to this show oceanto senor he's pulling it up can i at least narrate it yeah i was i was searching for hot dog in my phone last

and i forgot because i was looking for pictures of dylan i yeah more on that later what's funny about that is i did it in glissadente did come up but not in hot dog form in dq like mozzarella stick form or something i don't know what breadstick so it's very confusing if you're new here you're yeah you're probably lost yeah and you know what thatstick. So it's very confusing. If you're new here, you're... Yeah, you're probably lost. Yeah. And you know what? That's probably better. Dylan had a tenure as a hot dog.

I didn't, weirdly. So the gap in your resume wasn't because you were a hot dog? Hey, how about you get to the review, man? What are you doing for these two years? Today we have a review from Flyersfan27. He said, five out of five, we'll be back. You ready for this? Mm-hmm.

Okay. He really seemed to enjoy it. He said, well, I'm not gung- You ready for this? Okay. He really seemed to enjoy it. Said, well, I'm not gung-ho about Applebee's food. It's not bad. It doesn't stick out, but the prices are reasonable. The people at this particular establishment are what make it a nice place to visit. The bartender and waitress serving, my friend and I, were as attentive as they could be. I had a whiskey burger, which sounded real good.

And when I had it, it was good, but I wasn't wowed by it or expecting to be wowed. Whiskeyburger, which sounded real good, and when I had it, it was good, but I wasn't wowed by it or expecting to be wowed. I enjoyed the way they bread the mozzarella sticks and their drink special. It was all right, too. Maybe if I had thought of asking them to add vanilla ice cream or vanilla ice cream blended, it would have been much better, but it might have been more expensive, too. And that, my friends, was Will's five-star review. Was that about us? Of the week.

Hard to say, Dave, but we do appreciate your business. Man, have you ever just been eating a hamburger and said, man, I wish this hamburger had whiskey? Yes. I've actually had, I think I've had the whiskey glazed hamburger there before. I'm almost positive I had. If only there was a glaze of whiskey on this hamburger. It'd really change the game. Yeah, that actually is it it's a detriment to the burger to me i don't i don't want that i feel like it's gonna dry out the burger just cook my burger dude i was eating a meal in new york uh it

was me it was my wife sally of the mail-in podcast it was barrett dudley and uh barrett dudley's fiancee laura yeah and then my sister-in-law. And the waitress asked us when we were ordering this one dish, she goes, do you guys want grilled or fried chicken? And everyone defaulted to grilled. And I was like, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what?

They're on their health shit right now. Like, well, I'm sorry, but like we're out of town right now. This isn't just some casual lunch. Calories don't count on vacation. I told them, we're going for, I just stopped them all. And I was like,

we will be doing the fried chicken. Thank you. I'm glad you stepped up. Turned out to be a good move too. You saved the dinner. When I was thinking about getting fried,

I thought to myself, CBTM. Could be the move. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Very cool.

Should we get into it today? You worked that in there way too casually. I feel like we are into it, but yeah, we can keep going. Nah, let's get into it today. Let's go to there way too casually. I feel like we are into it. But yeah, we can keep going into it. No, let's get into it today. Let's go to the Academy. I'm not talking about the awards.

Which section are you most gravitate to? Oh, I go STG, straight to golf And then I hit ROW I gotta stroll through the sneaker section I get it Pretty much every time I get it Yeah

They always have really good deals on golf balls So I always just mash that deal button Before they start flying off the shelves I bought a number of hats from academy in the recent years okay bucket hat a famous one there's no day mow the lawn in it dylan i'm gonna throw the rock to you yeah i have a little segment uh you were talking earlier about something that could be the move cbtm i have a question about i'm gonna lay out a scenario for you and i'm gonna ask you is this the move okay a couple nights ago i met some of my high school buddies

at dinner maudie's hear about this place i've heard about it it's a it's a mexican food establishment and it is um it's a pretty casual place it was me and my and three buddies one of which depends which location you're at yeah by you dude you can get judged for your fit at the one by us this is about a fit oh okay this is about a fit so my buddy michael i'm gonna name him you guys have met michael he was on my bachelor party he shows up again this is a this is a casual place i'm wearing a t-shirt for example and a hat he shows up with a button down just like pressed crispy button down that's not the that's not the story here um part of the story is that it was so crispy and it was so just wrinkle-free.

Starch? Pressed. I think there was a, I'm going to say light starch. Damn, call him Starch Manning. Light starch. Sports reference. The restaurant also happens to be close to a house that we all used to live in together. We were roommates in our early 20s and right down the street.

So he pulls up in front of the house. 11 together we all we were roommates in our early 20s and like right down the street so he he's at this he pulls up in front of the house he takes a selfie in front of the house with this house in the background as we anyway we have good memories there he's shirtless in the picture okay he's shirtless okay i think i know where you're going with this i think i think so i'm at i'm at we're there we're i'm ordering you, we're ordering margaritas. And I'm like, Michael, why are you shirtless in this picture? He goes, it's what I always do. Like, when you take selfies or, what do you mean?

He goes, oh, well, I don't want to wrinkle my shirt. So I just grab it on the hanger, I put it in the car, and I drive to wherever I'm going, and then I put the shirt on. So every time you leave the house, you hop in the car without a shirt on, you pull up to the place you're going to, you pull your shirt out of the bag off the hanger and you put it on so that it's wrinkle-free. And I said, why don't you just wear a T-shirt in the car and then just swap them out? That way you're fresh and you're good to go once you get to the place. And that way you're not driving around town without a shirt on, as people can see you.

And I think it's a little bit weird. He goes, oh, I've never thought about that. What? How long has he been doing this? I don't know. He needs a car T-shirt. He needs a T-shirt that solely lives in his car. You gotta have a car t-shirt.

Dude, I kind of respect this. So I've been trying to confront this lately because I've been wearing more and more linen because it's a breathable fabric that I don't sweat as much in. It's purely a sweat play. It's not a style play for me. I'm gonna challenge what you just said.

I don't understand why people think linen is so breathable. It is such a heavy fabric. It makes me sweat more than like a just a cotton shirt it might be the linen you're buying a linen cotton blend like it might it might depend on the actual where do you get your linen from yeah i mean linen is linen no it's not linen is heavy no so i've been wearing more linen because it helps me sweat less and uh one of the things is that it does wrinkle quickly. And that's part of it. I was talking with Tabert about this. Like part of it is just that.

This wasn't linen. You have to accept that linen just wrinkles. But the thing that I struggle with is getting into a car and putting on a seatbelt and just admitting that I'm going to wrinkle this immediately. And I don't know what to do. I might need to be a shirtless dude. Yeah, it's easier when you're tucked. What does he do if he takes an Uber?

I don't want to know. I assume he keeps his shirt on. But this is a bizarre move. I have a rule, and I think you can't drive shirtless unless you are in a beach community or in high school. you are in a beach community or in high school i said michael what do your neighbors think when you get in your car every single day without a shirt on he goes i guess they're just used to it by now just has a shirt on him hanger over his shoulder getting in the car weird move what i mean you see somebody and like you you wave and it's you're clearly shirtless i mean you look i mean honestly like if you're in a park say you have clearly shirtless i mean you look i mean honestly like

if you're in a park say you have to like go to the store you pull into a parking spot but somebody walks by with their kid and there's just a shirtless guy you're in a red light what the fuck's this guy doing you look over and a guy who's like you know he's not coming from the gym or the swimming pool he's got his his hair's you know coiffed and it's combed he looks sharp but he just doesn't have a shirt on. It's just such a weird vibe. Dude, I'll be honest. Like, I think I'm way more okay with people driving around shirtless than you two are.

I can see Randy driving around shirtless a decent amount. Do you ever drive around shirtless? No, the only time that I would ever be like in a car shirtless is like after a pool or like a lake day or something. And even then I feel like I should put a tank top on. I majority of my life, like at home, I'm shirtless,

but in the car that this is a wild move. It does feel kind of foreign to have a seatbelt over your bare chest. But yeah, if it's a windows down situation, maybe you got the sunroof popping. Maybe you got some goose just fucking flowing through the speaks. You can't do that in your mid thirties. The obvious answer here is to have a car t-shirt he needs a car t-shirt what did should we should we

make him a shirt that says this is my car t and if i know none of y'all know who michael is but if you knew the guy you would understand he's he's a little bit quirky let's get him a model t he does some good sir but he does some weird things what does does he drive? He drives a- Good question. Good question. If he's a Jeep Wrangler, this is fine. He drives a Jeep Grand Cherokee. It's not the worst.

He's still tossing up Jeep waves. If he was hitting like a Lincoln Town car shirtless, like that'd be weird as fuck. And he needs to get that presidential tent so no one can see in. But no, he's just, people can see. Yeah, wait, so does he get out of the car to put the shirt on? That part I don't know. No one can see in, but no, he's just, people can see. Yeah. Wait.

So does he get out of the car to put the shirt on that part? I don't know. I assume he probably reaches in the back. I bet he gets out because you have to get out. You can't put it on there. You put it on. You're going to wrinkle it and it's going to defeat the purpose. I'll follow up with them.

I get it. Like when you, if you guys are going to a wedding, you get ready at your place, you get in your car, you go to the wedding. Do you hang up your jacket in the car? you lay it over the seat do you wear it in the car i'll typically hang it up i usually hang up my coat yeah i would like to i'd like to think i do but i don't think i do i'm very careful with seat belt i will lay it right across my belt line if i'm tucked in obviously right across my belt line and i'll kind of pull my belt up a little bit so that it doesn't ride up and wrinkle my shirt i know it's not the safe thing to say and i think everyone should wear

a seatbelt uh i i have been known that if i'm going somewhere and i have like a tucked in like long sleeve shirt and i get an uber in the back seat i'm less likely to wear a seatbelt in the back seat because i don't want to wrinkle my shirt oh an uber yeah i don't i might get got at some point yeah no you'd be all right i probably wouldn't be like if we got a serious car accident i don't have a seatbelt on like i very much might not be all right there's a reason yeah no yeah seatbelts save lives dylan yeah buckle up i'm glad that this is where this went because i i was worried that you were about to just like say he was overdressed no no no i knew it's weird that he felt the need to wear a button down to a restaurant that casual. But dude, it's kind of – it's a nice community.

It's kind of a scene in there and you do – one day I walked in pretty much wearing – I was wearing a skateboard brand t-shirt, kind of not the best looking pants and skate shoes. It's Motti's. I know. But like – but then, Dave, then I saw a family that like we share our childcare with and I was like, he's wearing a tucked in nice polo shirt and slacks. And I was like, man, I immediately feel like a scumbag right now. I asked him why he was so dressed up for Monty's. I said, you're about to go to a board meeting right after this. He said he never wears t-shirts.

And the only time he ever wears polo shirts is if he's playing golf. If he leaves the house, he is always in a button down, which is also just wild to me. Dude, what's his dry cleaning bill like? Not work related either. Oh, man. We need to introduce our man to ROW by Academy. We do.

Maybe, can we get Academy to hit him with like a sponty? Imagine never wearing a t-shirt. We should get him a t-shirt with a model T on it. You get it? Mm-hmm. He's too him a t-shirt with a model T on it. You get it? He's too formal. So no athleisure in his mix. I guess not.

Yeah, I wonder what he works out in. Probably just shirtless. Maybe he doesn't work out. Sorry, Mike. Just kidding. This is hilarious. I think I would recognize him if I saw him out in public. But now I'm going to be looking for the shirtless guy in the Jeep Grand Cherokee. I've told you some of his weird bodily things.

He's a weird guy. Yeah. Yeah. We got backers' minds racing right now about the bodily things. I won't share his weird bodily habits. I don't even know what you're talking about, and I don't think I want to. Instead of talking about that, can we talk about,

can we talk about Golden, I mean, Golden Bachelor? Okay. You almost, okay. Yeah, sure. We're famously out on the Bachelor franchise. It's been tanking for years now

and we, I will admit that we were covering it kind of disingenuously after we were out on it. We might have gone one or two seasons too far when our heart was just not there. That being said, I've been mega-aged lately for old people.

It's well-known. It's documented. Martha Stewart's SI issue is – I bought one of the SI issues with Martha on it, and I had to put it under our mattress so my wife couldn't find it. Wow. I stand an 81-year-old queen. And now we have something that I was not expecting to happen, which is the Golden Bachelor. Which is a bachelor for boomers.

Yeah, it's for women on the other side of 60 who are looking for love. I would just first like to give um a lot of credit to all of the backers out there who have seen the headline about golden bachelor and what it's about and have not sent it to me yet i think you guys are all maturing i'm very proud of you dude i think this speaks i think this speaks less to that and more how dead the bachelor is like i think i think it's more that no one cares because this is a perfect thing to send to you. If this drops four years ago, you're staying offline for a while. Yeah.

So their rankings are kind of just tanking right now. Is that what I gather? I haven't confirmed. I've tried to. Randy, you've actually looked. It's significantly lower than years before. They're trying anything. Lower, Randy? Oh, yeah've actually looked. It's significantly lower than years before. They're trying anything. Lower, Randy?

Oh, yeah, much lower. I remember when we were right on the teetering of if we're going to keep doing The Bachelor or not. But I was looking at the ratings. They're losing half their people. Yeah. So they're just trying anything at this point to mix it up. And hopefully it picks up steam. But the question is, are you going to watch?

Damn, this is... You know what I was just thinking? This one's going to be a lot more sad because... You're not going home and being single and going to music festivals with douchey t-shirts on. It's like, cool, well, I guess I'm going to go back to my... Cat. My living community. Sounds sick.

Go back to my bunco group with the girls. Back to the villages. America's friendliest hometown. Maybe they're at the margarita. Are they going to... Where's this actually going to be? Are they going to go to the bachelor mansion? I think they're doing it in Branson, Missouri.

They got to be careful with the bachelor mansion, that sopping wet driveway because one slip and you got a hip going with that hips out yeah do you hear about the golden bachelor they had to cancel it because they lost too many people in the driveway walk up there will be no staircase there will be the bachelor will not be arriving walking down the stairs it's just too much of a liability who's gonna host this thing like clint eastwood or something says dick clark do you accept this fucking rose you gotta help him up the steps to the front door yeah you go put your hand in the small of her back but the only thing keeping me alive was getting a rose uh you know what's gonna be uh steamy is the fantasy suite are they clapping no dude they're

Like, you know how it's always like, oh, we have like Taylor L, Taylor M.

Is it going to be like Pattyty a patty b patty c patty mills linda d oh my god yeah it's gonna be great when like he's bachelor's up there and he's he's got like a couple roses and he's he's saying the names and then like you know it's it's real dramatic and he just goes like deborah and like no one no one like reacts and they because they can't fucking hear them yeah they gotta speak speak i'm sorry you gotta you gotta project my guy this is cute but this is also it's gonna be sad it really it is because they're not gonna go they they don't have uh they're not gonna gain a big ig following

maybe they'll maybe this will crush on facebook like their facebook will blow up even on ig they don't know what that is so they're not going to be selling 50 dude that means that they're there for the right reasons though like you can't question if these people are there for the right reasons like they're old as hell oh yeah you want to be an influencer like they don't have that much time left oh dude i don't want to see that i don't want to see senior citizens going home night one because you already it's hard enough when it's young people but you're like oh they're young they'll be fine yeah but they don't have to quit their jobs to do it like they're retired and shit i know but you know how they so sad these people like their past get dig

like you know they dig them up and it's like i found your yeah i found your old face yeah patty patty patty g was that like a vietnam march that she gets canceled for yeah yeah it turns out uh turns out old ned had some some hot pandemic takes yeah they have some unsavory like january 6 takes oh god i don't know i don't know if i can be did you get the jab oh no fuck are we gonna watch this yeah that's what i'm wondering just to be crystal clear i will not be covering this i will not be dedicating actual time to it i will be watching uh the first couple i'm gonna watch the first episode like okay hypothetically speaking hypothetically speaking what if like a real baddie walks in and like doesn't matter the age it's just like she is straight up bad martha walks in do they put her in paradise there's no paradise dude there's no way

they're doing a paradise you mean with like the young people paradise yeah can you see blake absolutely selling out for like a 60 year old i? I don't know. Paradise is just going to Vegas and going to all the shows and sitting at the slot machines. Yeah. Just pumping pennies into the slots for hours. Just going to see Tom Jones. Hell yeah. You know how people have to leave the show for personal reasons?

Like what personal – what are these old ladies going to have to do? I don't know, man. I'm sure they have personal things as well. Yeah. No, but, like, arthritis is flaring up. I couldn't accept the rose, my head. There might be a tinge of arthritis on there. It would be nice if they had, like, wellness stuff.

Like, they had sauna. Cold plunge. Longevity play for the folks on uh golden hour or whatever this is longevity play longevity play what are the challenges they're gonna have to do see i i don't know i don't know just bridge games yeah hell yeah it says you win this you win this bridge match you get a fucking solo date with they're playing gin rummy yeah that way i would be in for that i don't even know how to play it i don't even know that is a game card game yeah uh it says here the median age for the abc viewer is a little over 61 years old in the middle of the pack for english language broadcast networks in the united states according

to a 2020 survey more than 40 of the bachelor audience is older than 55 that makes sense but i'm wondering aren't they watching it to kind of feel like young and watch young hot people like live vicariously and then do you really want to see your peers dude i think i fucking see this every day down at uhady Oaks or whatever. Episode one is going to do really well ratings wise because it's like a new, like very different format. And then people are like, okay, this is just sad and weird and they're going to stop watching. I don't know. I have more faith in it than you do.

At least I hope I do. I think it's going to be okay okay the backdrop became so stale there were so many things that i just didn't care about and you knew that everybody but everybody wasn't there to find love they were just there to get famous like we're going back to basics now and we're doing it in a way that could be like significantly more entertaining than just seeing a bunch of idiots because i got tired of watching people in their like like mid-20s acting like dumbasses now we get to actually see people like doing this he's he's sucking face with like five different women on night one dentures falling out of their mouths and shit

they're not they're not nine like you know how like you know how like they'll they'll do like during fantasy suites they'll like show something sexy happen and then like suddenly it goes to commercial like this one's gonna be like dentures falling into a glass and then they go to commercial it's gonna be fucking awesome the next morning they're smoking cigs in bed with the sheets pulled out right over their chest you know they have like hair nets they're walking around in they got the wall street journal newspaper they're just what they're reading it together yep i gotta be honest with you i think harold's here for the wrong reasons he's only here to get facebook famous dude i wish it was i wish it was the bachelor i wish it was golden bachelorette years

because like it would be better with a bunch of like old dudes yeah the old men fight like you know the golf course fights you see between old men that'd be so good in the bachelor mansion where nobody gets hurt and they just fall down after trying to throw a punch oh it's sad do you think i don't want to get old man buddy buddy you're kind of i'm in my 30s kind of telling that lie my guy i'm in my 30s dog yeah yeah well i was just going to point out that dylan's is going to be eligible for this show before any of us okay it's a fact i mean that's an over it's an objective fact it's an objective fact what do you think their bit will be when they pull up like their entrance oh yeah like gets out with gets out and he's like uh juggling or something i'm just thinking of like a barbershop quartet

like just old-timey old-timey car horn like if my dad went on this show and he had to like walk out like he'd just bring like a like a a pot of like well done like flowers okay like i'm a gardener okay oh man i yeah i didn't think about the fact that it's gonna be um a bachelor so it's gonna be a bunch of older women women. Yeah. I don't want to watch a bunch of older women get sent home. I can't watch this. Okay. It's going to be sad. That's what I'm saying, man.

If they make it really far into the show, then they're like, that's sad. If you're a hot 25-year-old, you're going to be just fine, and now you're Instagram. Man, they're going to have real conversations. But if you go back, dude, real conversations. Like those, the fantasy suites

or like the last couple weeks, it's going to be like gut-wrenching. I think Ruth is just positioning herself to be the next Bachelorette. She's not here for Harold. She doesn't even like Chester. Chester. Chester.

There's no Chester. We're going to end up covering this. She said her granddaughter signed her up. That's the only reason she's here. She's trying to get a sponsorship from Depends. Yep. They sent in their audition tapes. It's just like, you know how when you uh you

facetime with an older person and you can see the corner of their face it's like it's the top of their head you see the forehead the half the tape is like i can't see myself what's going on oh it's uh the amount of lipitor yeah it's gonna be popped oh dude, dude. I mean, they're going to have to have an ambulance on site at all times. Might need one of those little blue pills for homeboy, too. Dude, they can't stay up that late. They're going to have to be feeding them Adderall.

They're going to have to get the airsoft gun out. You can't be feeding Adderall to 65-year-olds. Dude, I know, but they did to Trump. He was cruising when he was on the Addy. You got to get Biden on that Vyvanse. Bring him back. Hit him with some rewind some rewind hey nap time's over bitch so dumb oh man you remember like we would those stories would pop up though like that like stds were running rampant throughout like nursing homes there's any retirement communities this might just turn into a total fuck fest that That's what I was saying. There's only one dude.

Yeah. So? He's just getting all of it. Yeah, they're going to be phoning over Jesse. Hold on. Oh, is he hosting? I don't know. No, they got to get someone age appropriate.

about the guy that the Bachelor would have on oh yeah they're definitely gonna try to get him but dude he died

I, of course, knew that it was a Ben Folds 5 reference. I just didn't call it out potentially one of the saddest songs of the late 90s you can make a case that it's one

of the saddest songs of all time i mean it's super depressing yeah so i repurposed it you made it fun it was a new a new take on an old fame speaking of fits can we do a quick fit check on uh someone near and dear to the podcast? I'm talking about Phil Mickelson. People are calling him Fit Mickelson after this one. Okay. Okay. So Phil Mickelson has been kind of in a weird spot lately.

I don't know if anything's going on behind the scenes, but I think people are generally a little worried about him. He's very silent. He apparently didn't talk to anyone at the Masters dinner. He's just on Instagram selling gummies in funeral suits. Did this suit used to fit him? I would assume so because he used to have a little more weight to him. Yeah, where that cuff is breaking is not ideal. In the caption on Instagram, he says this suit is a little big.

So he's like, okay. He's aware of it. I don't understand. I don't understand. How can you go take live money, which is a lot of money, and not have a proper tailor? There's no excuse. Figure it out.

There's no excuse. No, he actually does. They got Taylor Gooch. Really? Really? It's a golf joke. He's actually flushing it, playing quite well lately. You could have made a tailor-made play there, too.

I could have, but I didn't. You could have done that instead of pointing out that Dave didn didn't do it yeah i was trying to just you've been pointing out some things today i'm not going to call you out i am calling you out like in the ad read when we said that brett was rocking the mugsy bottoms and the top and you're like no just the bottom you could have just gone with it i thought it was the top too it honestly looked as good as the ones look no one's gonna see him he's not on the show today i'm sorry i just like to be honest with our list that's fair that's fair that's a good response truth in advertising david that's a good response thing okay roll my eyes read a book dude it was actually a compliment to his jacket that i thought it was the muggsy one i was going

through some old stuff in my closet the other day and i found my uh kind of black muggsy jacket and i was like damn it like i didn't wear this when i could have i messed this up are we worried about phil he looks um he has to be insensitive he looks a little sickly he's on the north side of 50 I messed this up. Are we worried about Phil? He looks, um, he has to be insensitive. He looks a little sickly. He's on the North side of 50. He is.

Yeah. So, I mean, this is, he's aging. It doesn't help that he also has like the, he has like a, an Adams family slick back situation.

It's the sling back combined with the suit. The golf tan that's happening around his forehead is just absolutely brutal. It looks like he gets a tapeworm. You're saying there might be a parasite play here. That's absorbing all of his nutrients. So how does that work? Like, if the tapeworm just tastes the nutrients?

I've always wondered about this. I've worried about, like, my dog before. I'm like, how can she eat so much? How can she be so hungry all the time does she have a tapeworm probably not how do you get rid of them do you just you know pass them I do not know I think ivermectin something tells me it's not a pleasant process though does the food that you ingest just stick to the tape it's actually bubble tapeworm that's the best one to have it's six feet of bubble gum for you not them should we do a bubble gum draft bazooka joe first round pick that's stupid you're going big league chew right big chew grape flavor it's great for the four minutes that last that's

all you need i'm surprised i'm surprised that you're a grape guy have you had it if you've had it yes obviously i've had it like if if there is something fruit flavored i go grape first every single time i also love the idea of a bubble gum company making bubble gum that's like chewing tobacco yeah kids it's good great you know my theory on phil i think he i think phil has a sleep paralysis demon he's just not getting the amount of sleep i think i think he is my sleep paralysis demon he meets it every night like oh he knows like he's like all right when we fall asleep he's like tonight's the night i'm gonna face this demon like my question about the suit used to fitting like the pants are also too long

so that wouldn't make sense with the weight loss yeah like well the jacket is really really long we need you know who we need are you guys familiar with Derek Guy? D-Guy? Has he showed up on your Twitter feed at this point? Oh, is he the dude who's been critical of Fitz? Yes. He roasted Nick Adams? So his whole thing in the beginning was just talking about style, talking about whatever. And then he started getting his tweets fed to literally everybody. Like, it was just like, it became such a thing that people were like, dude, this is kind of annoying that Twitter's just forcing me to read this guy's content even though i don't care about it but he is super knowledgeable he

is good at what he does um but now his whole bit and i really enjoy the bit is that he takes shitty politicians and breaks their fits down and tells everyone why they suck just in terms of that and it's a very black and white like no this is how something's supposed to fit and this is how it's going see the one who roasted nick adams recently correct and like the other day there was a picture of ron de santa standing with somebody and he was like this is why you don't wear jeans with a blazer whatever and he just went in on these people he's also pushing guilty wellness gummies while looking very unwell it's not it's not a good look for the this is if if you're a sponsor and you have phil mickelson on the line for an ad deal and this is the content that you get, are you like, really?

Like, hey, you want to run this one back for us? What's so funny, Randy? Randy is cracking up right now. That I just realized that this is like him supposed to be advertising a product. This is the worst average. Yes. So bad. It looks like he already opened the gummy package and then was like, oh, shit.

Hey, babe, get a picture of me with this. Not only that, he's got to carry this around. Like is Amy Mickelson just like behind the camera here? Just like, Phil, look like you at least care a little bit. For Wellness is the gummy company. Can we edit this with some early bird CBD instead? We might have to recreate this. Let's just recreate it.

Klein's wedding. let's look as terrible as we can and look dude who's we're all gonna have so many fucking like stressors ahead of klein's wedding for who's gonna break their fit the most we got we got back-to-back nights too yeah but night one doesn't matter uh if you don't want to get a fit off it no i mean but like like it's not it's not a suit. I already have my outfits picked out. Catch me pulling up to the event shirtless, just getting out. Facts.

That's a big fact. They'll see me in the parking lot. I might just, pantsless too. You might just see me getting out. That's what's up. I might run back to Ascot and just flex on all the haters. Y'all aren't going to believe how good I look for this shit. Are you going to do like two a days?

I'm going to wear clothes. clothes so like it wouldn't matter how good i look underneath them you know i'm saying except for when i pull up and i'm shirtless and then i get out and put my shit on i don't i the more that i think about the move of doing that the more that i kind of like it but wear something in the car but like you also can you also can guarantee that like you can not sweat in the car. Or you can at least wipe the sweat off before you get dressed. And you can just blast AC. Think about your bare skin against the back of a hot car seat.

We're talking skin on leather, though. And the vinyl of the seat belt against your chest. It's not comfortable. It's going to get straight up moist back there, man. Dude, how do you know I'm not hitting them with the fabric seats? I've seen your car. No, I have those beads. I have the beaded seats. I forgot you know that how do you know i'm not hitting them with the fabric seats i've seen your car no i have those beads i have the beaded seats forgot you did that yeah and the dice hanger from the mirror yeah and i got the fuzzy steering wheel just flexing on all my haters well phil we hope you're doing well this is at the pga champions uh dinner did you

see the photo that came from that dinner there are a lot of people that aren't in the photo that are pga champions i was very the thing that i jumped out of me it was justin thomas looks two inches three inches taller than rory okay the picture i saw didn't even have justin thomas in it which i thought was very weird no dude i think it did and it just didn't look like no let me let me pull it up on my phone there was also a dude at the dinner wearing golden goose sneakers to which i will just say what the fuck are you doing who who was it i don't know i think it was like someone said it was y yang oh see i saw a different photo than what the one what this was because jt wasn't even in the photo and i was like how do you guys take a champion's photo without the last year's champion

in it i'm almost positive jt's not taller than rory uh jt's not very big. He pisses on it. Not like Rory does. Still nuts. Yeah, but Rory's a little more jacked than JT. JT's got perfectly tiny arms. Rory has like disgustingly strong arms. So it's all just... Yeah, Rory needs to calm down. Well, people are up in arms over something else

that's not Phil Mickelson related. We've bitched about tips before in the iPad that's in front of things where people don't do anything well now it's being uh widely reported about self-checkout machines are now asking for uh tips and have you guys have you guys been to a self-checkout machine that asked for a tip yet i don't think i have i have only donations i've been to one and it really rubbed me the wrong way where were you um moody center austin texas oh you mentioned this yes and and the fact that i i thought it was weird that i could buy a beer at a self-checkout Where were you? Call them out. Moody Center, Austin, Texas. Oh, you mentioned this already. And the fact that I thought it was weird that I could buy a beer at a self-checkout.

That was weird in itself. No one to show ID to. Yeah. I thought that was interesting. But I also didn't see a scenario where a little kid could just run up and grab a beer. But it did ask me for a tip on the $23 hazy IPA that I bought. And I was like, I'm already getting kicked in the dick so hard that there's absolutely no way.

That is egregious. I wanted to write the minus $3 to make it $20. Does it tell you who it's going to? I mean, if it goes to the University of Texas, I have even less of a need to do that. At least there's no one there that you have to awkwardly in front of them choose the custom tip, type in zero. There's no one.

You can do it freely without having to feel bad about it. That's the plus. When you do that, there used to be a coffee trailer across the street, and they would do that, and they'd flip it over. Let's say you do a dollar, or you just don't do it at all, and you hit it, and do you want a's say you do a dollar or you just don't do it at all and you x and you hit it and do you want to see no receipt do you like make sure you click like all the way through so like they can't see it like oh yeah yeah i get to the point where it's like it goes back to the screen where there's like yeah is that a restaurant where like you can seat people and stuff yeah

that place was so overpriced i never felt bad bad about not tipping. No. So I tip 20, like if I tip, I don't tip, I will never tip 15%. I tip 20% every time because the ex-waiter in me just knows that I have to do that. At a restaurant, yeah. But it, yeah, well, generally. But now I'm seeing when they have the predetermined tip things, like Barrett and I were somewhere in New York and it was like the lowest option to tip was 20% and then it went 25%. Then it went 30%. And I looked at Barrett. I was like, shouldn't it be like 15, 20, 25 instead?

You know what they're doing. Or at least 20, 22.5. Here's what these establishments are doing. They are trying to compensate because they do not pay their employees enough. So they're hoping you will help them out when in reality, their wages are just low. So it's like, hey, 35%. That's so much money on a food order. I saw someone post the other day a picture of their receipt. And they're at a restaurant, and it was a pretty high dollar place. And the last line item on their receipt was livable wage, like surcharge or something like that. And it was, I don't know, it was like $10 or $15.

So basically the restaurant's saying, we want to keep paying them low wages. We're going to pass that on to you. You're going to pay them a livable wage. Fuck that. Yeah. That is such bullshit. I went somewhere recently. I'm not going to say where I was.

But you weren't allowed to tip there. That is such bullshit. I went somewhere recently. I'm not going to say where I was, but you weren't allowed to tip there. And I was essentially told, no, the point of this is that we pay them more than enough to where tipping is not necessary and that this is not part of it. I still felt the need to tip, but it was just one of those things where it was like, okay, I guess you know what? If the employees have accepted the job and they're happy with that, then they must be

getting a livable wage. Europe is like that right not a big tipping region dude i was told to only tip on uh like incredible experiences and we did a boat day where we had a captain for our boat and he drove us around he told us like wherever you want to go i will take you all we have to do is be back here by 6 PM. Um, and at the end of the day, I looked at Sally and I was like, this guy was incredible. Like we can't not tip him. I think this falls into place with that. And we tipped him a hundred dollars because I thought that is exactly what he deserved. Like he was incredible. Uh, shout out Luca. And when we gave him that, it was like, we had just given him like a golden ticket to go to willie wonka's chocolate

pack he was gonna put the concrete boots on you until you did that that would have been tough that would have been tough you never know yeah and by a hundred dollar bill i think it was a hundred euro thing which actually at that time was less than a dollar i feel famously devalued i didn't know you back up now it's back up now shit when we went over there we hit the perfect time where the like the the british pound was less than a dollar it ain't like that no more no no just a dollar to pound a british dude come on dude you talking fucking saying let's not take it there man we're having a nice time yeah yeah why i get out of here get out of here yeah this is such i i have no problem just i'm getting i'm almost becoming like really used to just doing zero for

all these things man i mean but they're trying to condition us is what it is i know i know we gotta hold strong we gotta hold the line boys i'm doing my part if If you deserve it, I'll give it to you. If you don't, you're not getting it. It all depends about the kiosk situation. It depends about the level of service you're getting there. If it's a sit-down restaurant, you're getting the bag dropped on you. The effort to serve. Other times.

Tell me about the Moody Center set up again. So it's self-checkout, but. I don't know if it's like this everywhere, but in the section that we were in, I walked out and right to your left was a bunch of beer, like you were at a store, like you're in a central market or a HEB or whatever, where they have the beer section. But it was all just single beers. And so I went up and grabbed one. And I think there might have been somebody supervising, but I think they might have just been looking to make sure that no children did it. And maybe they would check your ID if you looked old enough.

I don't know. At the Texas football stadium, they have a similar section where you go and help yourself and then there are people just standing there making sure that you know you're not stealing or whatever and i guess the tip would go to them but still it's like you're not doing any you're just standing there yeah it's weird they took our jubes guys, the weather's warming up. Oh, yeah. I mean, the fact that Brett's wearing a jean jacket today is kind of insane, given the fact that it's warm season. I mean, people don't want to wrinkle or sweat in their cars at this point either.

It's true. That's why I've been driving around shirtless. But I love when the weather starts to warm up. Getting out of the yard, digging in the garden. It's one of the best parts of spring, and Sunday lawn care makes it easier than ever to enjoy. And now that summer and spring are finally here, the days are longer, flowers are blooming,

you can spend more time outside, and what makes it even better is Sunday. Sunday is everything you need to get the lawn that you dreamed of. This spring, go to getsunday.com slash steam and enter your address to get a customized plan created just for your lawn. No trips to the store or hauling heavy bags

since they ship straight to your home. I mean, your lawn's looking poppin'. Yeah. Yeah. I've spent a lot of time in the yard in recent weeks pulling weeds, and I've been putting down the Sunday fertilizer. It's very easy to do.

um hit it again dog okay you guys ready yeah Yeah. Okay. What's for lunch today, guys? Hit it again, dog. Okay. You guys ready? Yeah. You guys ready for this? That's what I'm talking about. Oh. Are we in the tank?

Hmm. The Pwedge tank. The Pwedge was my first ever Shark Tank experience where I thought of something and I wanted to pitch it to investors. Unfortunately, what I found was that you guys weren't really that into it and you just wanted to talk about dead pledges.

We were never going to invest. I mean, that's understandable, Dave. We didn't have the funds. I get it. I just want to talk about dead pledges. I get it. That's facts. I came up with an idea the other night. I don't know what this segment's going to be called. I don't think we talk about dead wedges. I get it. That's facts. I came up with an idea the other night.

I don't know what this segment's going to be called. I don't think we can use the term Shark Tank because I think that might be copyrighted, and I think that Mr. Wonderful has the means to sue us through the roof and end our business forever. Okay. You'd probably just buy it. Okay. Okay. Can I give you guys a half-baked Shark Tank idea real quick?

Yeah. Yes. You guys ever get to to go food restaurants you bring it home i've gotten to go you bring it home i don't know why all my all my ideas stem around you know taking food home but that's that's just where we are right now that's just the the area that i'm in um when you get home with your food uh like dylan dylan let's use something for example like what's something that you would bring home for dinner that you would go get takeout? Ooh.

I'll hit Flower Child, actually. We talked about it earlier. Yeah, it's in the neighborhood. And what would you order from there? Ooh, I would get probably grilled chicken, broccoli, and sweet potatoes. Okay, and that's displayed on your to-go thing, and you have your thing. Like, last night, for example, I went to a place and I got a Power Bowl, your to-go thing and you have your thing uh like last night for example i went to a place and i got a power bowl an ancient grains bowl if you will and it

looks so good in the packaging and i was like man this looks really nice but also like this cardboard packaging is not something i want to go sit with and eat my dinner in i want to transfer this to a plate okay it always feels classy even if you get like a burger and fry from somewhere to transfer it from the wrappers to the plate i got roasted at my rehearsal dinner by my best friend because he made he brought up that my parents used to do that growing up and he never said anything about it until my rehearsal dinner when he made fun of my family for taking taco bell and putting it on the dinner plate i respect that i was like holy shit i'd never thought that that was weird so last night i wanted to transfer my ancient grains bowl into another bowl but i didn't want to just like dump it i didn't want to just like take like a spoon

and start spooning it in and make it all look like shit i think the presentation is part of you want to keep the presentation and so what i'm trying to workshop right now is like is there like a type of spatula or something that we could just have like a giant spatula that we could put into our to-go food and easily, seamlessly transfer it into something else? Yeah, like a spatula. No. A full meal size spatula. A full meal size spatula.

A spatula is not big enough, David. That's good for a cookie. There's some big spatulas. Dude, show me the biggest spatula you've ever seen. I was going to say the pizza thing for the brick oven. See, that's too big, though. Or a grill spatula. They're big.

They're big, but they're not full meal size big. I see what you're saying. See, we need a mid-range spatula that can go into... I'm thinking a spatula that's kind of the size of a... I don't know. Maybe we just need to have some regulations across the board. i'm thinking of maybe like a burrito bowl from chipotle you need a full-size spatula for this you need the dinner spatula that one's gonna get sloppy and it can't be one of those spatulas that has like openings in it because then you're gonna lose

beans yeah like imagine if you have yeah beans rice whatever it may be so i think i think there needs to be some type of spatula i think in that case what you do is you you take the bowl you go in under and you cut a little and you just let it just fall at the bottom right okay okay what if it's like you know you know like a fedex envelope where they have like the little tab and it says like pull here what if that's around the bowl and then you can do that and then you can just kind of lift it up and slide it right out imagine the sound that's going to make when it hits your ceramic bowl uh i must be trashed i'll just eat right out of the cardboard thing no i mean that's what i did last night but i was just thinking like i would love to have this in a low bowl right now i do hear you you're just a little inventor aren't

you yeah you would have crushed at the fifth grade invention convention. They would have been like, why is this guy so concerned about his to-go food? This guy picks up a lot of food. I think one of my issues is that I just have too much time on my hands when I'm driving home with my to-go food, and I just start thinking about this. Here's an idea. Okay. This is an app, but it relates to to-go food. This actually, we might have to take this out because we might have to workshop this. So a lot of places, the to-go order, they give it to you. It's not in a bag

or it is, it's in a big plastic bag, but it's tied up, right? And it's, there's like, say, there's four different containers in it. Last thing you want is to get home and realize that Last thing you want is to get home and realize that someone in your household, maybe your wife, they didn't get her order correct. They didn't give you something. And then you'll get this. Did you not check the bag? Oh, my God, dude. It's the worst.

It's the worst feeling. You're like, well, it was like they had it like neatly tied shut and like I didn't want to like hold up traffic. What am I supposed to pull into like a parking spot and check so how about an app on your phone that does like a an x-ray scan okay of the bag okay so you can see everything that's in there without opening it i'll leave the text you don't have the text there i don't think the text there you don't think big man i think like you know how they have like the name on the receipt when they check you out i think the person that packs it should have their name on it so you can be like uh no caleb fucked up babe like you know like call caleb they do a you know when you go into like a gas station bathroom which i guess i do often and uh they have a little check board there and it says like bathroom was checked clean

at and it get you sign the time and it has like the manager's name who was on duty they need to do that quality control for each order so you know like hey freaking harold fuck my shit up didn't you say that you always erase the person's name when they check the bathroom so they get yelled at for not doing their job i always just write a fake name like uh boner man boner man yeah boner man clean the bathroom that's good b-e-a-u one time sally told me she was like she ordered the food for us okay if if if elissa orders food for you and you go pick it up does she put it under her name or does she put it under your name it it goes back and forth do you ever feel like a dumbass when you're like really you guys don't

have an order for sally like oh she probably did it at the like the other location and then it's like oh i'm gonna figure this out and then you're like hold on is it under will and they're like oh yeah right here it's all done i'm like yeah okay cool i got to the point where i go it's either under alyssa or david yeah i don't know like i was pretty hands off in this transaction so randy and i had a conversation yesterday because i don't want to air anybody out but the chipotle down the street has really been fucking up lately and it's because i think they've had a theft problem they had this system where you would put in your order and then they would still a bunch of napkins they would put yeah a bunch of rvp listeners are just like raps in this place cut the check the system was that

if you did it online they would put your bag on like the to-go shelf and you could just walk up and grab it clearly they've had people just taking meals that aren't theirs because it's been an issue i always wonder about that. It's way too easy. If I was down mega bad, like, yeah, I'm just going to go in somewhere and pretend like that's my to-go order. But now it's gotten to the point where like you have to go up and talk to the cash register person and be like,

hey, is an order for Will ready yet? And if they say no, like they're not coming back to check on me. I just have to linger there and I feel like an asshole just staring them down. It's also awkward because you're probably going at lunchtime. There's probably a line. There's people, and you don't want to get off the vibe that you're cutting, but at the same time, you don't want to slow down the line, so you're figuring out the right time to go ask the cashier, like,

hey, is my order ready? Meanwhile, this dude just got his bowls, and he's trying to get the hell out of there and you just interjected well you're watching all these people walk in in real time get their meal like in two seconds flap you don't want to be the asshole that walks up and says for the second time like hey is my order for dave ready like and then they're like dude no dave it's not ready yet we'll let you know get off my back i don't know what to do i don't know man but randy randy made it he was like yeah i always thought it was really weird and the more i thought about i was like yeah it is weird that people they just went on her system it's too trusting honest mary's scumbags that honest mary's they do it but

they're named honest mary's so it's kind of on it's kind of on and the customer and the shelves where they put the food is like not really that close to like the counterpart it's like on its own it's just asking for someone to rip them off oh yeah if you're down bad in austin texas and you The shelves where they put the food is like not really that close to like the counterpart. It's like on its own. It's just asking for someone to rip them off. Oh, yeah. If you're down bad in Austin, Texas and you want some free food, go to Honest Mary's. Yeah. They have shelves of just to-go orders just waiting.

And they're so far from the register that you can just absolutely feast on that. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to start stealing more food. Good call. Good call. Maybe that's why they're called Honest Mary's. That's a good call.

Yeah. Like they're putting the onus on you by just being like, no, dude, you guys got to be honest as hell right now. It's time. Is it? This weekend in fun presented by our friends at EveryPlate.

which is my Saturday open, but Friday having some family a little bit Saturday opposite. I know, I know, right. I'm saying got some family, some family time Friday, I believe family up a little bit. Is it Saturday opposite day? I know. I know, right? What's going on there? That's what I'm saying. Got some family time Friday, I believe.

Just kind of chill and might go out to dinner. Don't know. Saturday. So Parks was supposed to have his last soccer game last weekend, but it got rained out. More time to prep. So it has been rescheduled for this Saturday morning. Is it dub season?

Trying to catch that first dub. That elusive first dub of the year. It's the last chance to get it. Come on, guys. We've got to do this. So that'll be fun. And then I'm supposed to do something with the old high school buddies, the aforementioned Michael, who hopefully will be driving with his shirt off when I see him.

Please show up wherever you're going five minutes early, and please get a video of him putting a shirt on in the parking lot. That's all I care about. I'm supposed to go out with them Saturday, but we don't really have a firm plan yet, so we'll see how that materializes. Sunday, I get Parks back. Oh, you know what I might be doing Sunday?

I might be doing a little photo shoot for Rowback with the little guy for a Father's Day campaign. They shipped a bunch of clothes to my house. I'm going to go pick it up. And it might be Sunday. It might not.

Anyway, TBD on Sunday. Here's a question for you regarding the soccer game on Saturday. You trying to come through? No. This one's at 10. No, I got real soccer to watch. No offense, Parks. That's at 10. No, I got real soccer to watch. No offense, Parker. That's so rude.

Have you guys dangled the ultimate carrot in front of this team yet to get that first dub? What's the ultimate carrot? Have you guys dangled a pizza party in front of them yet? Is it the kind of thing where even if they lose, you still do it? Did you feel bad? Yeah. Everybody gets a trophy.

We haven't done that. Because one year, I had never won a soccer game before. I'd been playing for two years, and i had never won a soccer game before i'd been playing for two years and i'd never won one single game and uh the first practice that we had of this soccer season i think i was still in elementary school the coach said if you guys go undefeated this season you will get a pizza party at pizza hut at the end of the season i have never seen a team come together that quickly everybody was just like like, let's fucking ride. And guess what? We went undefeated and we got that pizza party.

I think you got to dangle that carrot. Okay. Ooh, y'all got to go to the pizza hut. Like when it was still a buffet. Oh yeah. Had the stained glass windows. Yup. Yup.

Oh God. I got good news for you, Dave. I think that the business that went into our old pizza hut, which is still standing in the same structure. Okay. They went out of business and there's some rumors flying that there might be another pizza hut going is still standing in the same structure okay they went out of business and there's some rumors flying that there might be another pizza hut going in oh what if it's a combination pizza hut and taco bell dude here's the issue i don't i i like my pizza has to be

traditional the other the pizza hut that they that they replaced it with um in a different location was a pizza hut plus a wing street which is a subsidiary of pizza hut where they do the wings well i am a fan of getting wings with pizza i still think you just call it pizza hut and say that you have wings there yeah i think that makes more sense wing street like a separate transaction yeah what if i go there and my main entree is wings and then i get a piece of pizza from somebody else's transaction you're're saying supplementals, huh? Yeah. Still applied.

Still nuts. Sorry, man. It's a good question, though. Okay. I'm glad we got that out there. What about your weekend, David? I wish I had something to report that was

wild and fun, but I guess, have we talked about tomorrow yet? Oh, yeah. We're kicking off the day tomorrow. that was wild and fun, but I get that. Are we talking about tomorrow yet? Oh, yeah. We're kicking off the day tomorrow. We're doing a little grill out. Casa de Chivary. What if the people at home

want to watch that? YouTube.com slash circling back. What time? About 2.30 Central time. Dentist time. But we're flexible.

Are we doing circling Back or Washed? It might be. Just go subscribe to both, and we'll give you a little surprise. Check it out. Real ones know. Real ones know to do both. Yeah, so we're kicking it off.

Yeah, I know it's Thursday, technically, but I'm still considering it part of my weekend because it's probably going to be the highlight because I'm smoking some ribs. Going'm going to do a couple of baby back rib racks on the Chevrolet Traeger, and we're going to have fun doing it. We're going to throw the ball around like the boys. Check out one of Stella's famous lush grass doo-doos that Dylan speaks so highly of. I will probably, yeah, she will be there hanging out with us and hopefully

she'll get a two off. Good for her. Please clean up poop in the yard so I don't slip in some when I'm like, my yard always has, it's always clean. Chill out.

Okay. Just making sure. From there, man. I know you and the P-men like to go take some outdoor urine sometimes. That's true. We do.

I bet what happens, I bet what happens this weekend is Alyssa will say, oh, I made a reservation for XYZ restaurant like five months ago. Do you want to go? And we'll both kind of look at each other and we'll be like, eh. So we probably won't go.

If you're trying to link Saturday, your boy's going to be stepping out, dog. We'll see. Okay. Good to know. But I can't be out late because Sunday I've got soccer cubs taking Rhodes final class. And there is actually a party at the end of the class.

You get to – everybody brings like high C. Is it a pizza party? Ecto high C. No za. Cupcakes. I think we brought cupcakes last time. That's cute. It is.

It's fun. It's funny because like you're just sitting in the parents we don't really interact with each other and the kids at this age don't interact with each other so it's basically you're just sitting at a table and everyone's just talking to their kid and then you leave but whatever it's a fun time so what about you big weekend meet smokers live chivalry household tomorrow afternoon youtube..com circling back youtube.com slash watch media go like and subscribe uh from there friday i will be going to a noted italian restaurant in austin texas called sammy's i've been craving it it's been a really long time

since i've had it and the last time i was there i had my favorite meal ever at that restaurant like that that restaurant's meal you get you understand what i'm saying yeah it wasn't my favorite meal ever it was my favorite meal i've had at that restaurant y'all know it's eggplant parmesan season oh god i'm not kidding dude there's a whole different flavor profile the eggplant parmesan versus the chicken parm i'm never gonna find out why you wouldn't even entertain it if i was sitting at the table with you and i was like you want to try my eggplant parm i would try a small little bite just to see what the fuss is about but i don't i don't do eggplant dude it's like chicken largely is like the the good part of the chicken and eggplant

parm is like the fried part it's really if i had to actually say it i think it's like the breading of the chicken and the way that it interacts with the red sauce i think it's like the breading of the chicken and the way that it interacts with the red sauce. I think it's like the juxtaposition of it. But the eggplant is just different. You know I'm going to get those Mott sticks. You know I'm going to get Upsol and a bottle of wine that I don't really even need. But I'm out here and I'm doing it. Saturday, I'm going to wake up.

We got the Manchester United match. We only got three games left this year. It's Champions League season. We got to get in. We got to finish top four. So I'm going to have to miss Parks' game. I've been to every game this season. This will be the first one I miss.

And so it's just going to be tough. Maybe I'm the bad luck charm. Other than that, I don't really have too much going on. Got a buddy that recently moved to town. I feel like it's high time that he and I go out and have a beer together maybe maybe a little draft house action it's kind of becoming draft house season you know i'm talking about dude how old's your boy i might i might we'll see yeah i can't have like my new friend that moved to town like become better friends with somebody else like i know i need that you know friend stealers yeah i don't need

any friend stealers here like i'm gonna gatekeep my like new buddy in town. No, I got to gatekeep him, dude. I got to build my friendship strong enough that like y'all can't steal it. You've known him for like a hundred years. Dude, I haven't even been alive that long. I'm fucking 36. And then, dude, to be honest, my only, the only thing I care about this weekend is just relaxing. The last two weekends I've had have been going through the ringer of doing work and play stuff combined.

And it was pretty exhausting. I'm excited to go do nothing. I think I'm going to try to finish beef on Netflix. That's the only meat I'm eating these days, beef on Netflix. I started it. I'm like, I watched two. It's fine. It's fine it it's fine it's fine it's fine okay like there's nothing there's nothing there that takes it above and beyond for me yeah it's just it is what it is i kind of just want to know how it ends i don't really know if i care like largely about the show okay i am a supporter of ali wong though i respect her game
