Starting point is 00:00:00 Maddo Ranchos, Maddo Ranchos, Maddo Ranchos, Maddo Ranchos, Maddo Ranchos. All right, we're back. It's a circling back podcast. Wednesday morning. Great day for a pod, huh? I think so. Yeah, I do too.
Starting point is 00:00:28 glad you feel the same yeah that's going to be a good one today um producer randall hi dave are you excited for the secret episode of stranger things that's going to definitely launch today you know i started seeing that last night very late and i read a little bit into it and it and it seems like there's a lot there but uh then i read like that's not happening yeah it's a pretty big conspiracy and I think it's just a mass psychosis. It's very much like all the Taylor Swift stuff with Swifties. Like, oh, Taylor Swift's definitely performing ACL. No, she's not.
Starting point is 00:01:06 She's going to, what was the one recently? Somebody was in town and they're like, well, she's definitely bringing out Taylor. Yeah, it was Sabrina Carpenter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And yeah, so I don't think it's happening. Everyone thinks it's called conformity gate. And the whole thing is that this, everything that we saw during the season was Vecna? It was an illusion, a mind illusion.
Starting point is 00:01:24 You want to know how I know that isn't really. going to happen and there's no secret episode being released because they wouldn't have like released the finale in theaters and got like all that money it's just people who can't let go and can't accept that the series has run its course you know no it can't be over it's over it's over it's over it's proper finale um i will say man there's a lot of creators out there on the on the Instagram, that probably TikTok, too, that... TikTok is a huge list. I saw one that was like, if you look at the way the tapes are arranged behind Robin,
Starting point is 00:02:03 when she goes back to the radio station, it's actually Morse code. Dude, it's a problem with TikTok that TikTok's algorithm, if you watch one video more than 10 seconds, you're going to get served a bunch of more videos like that. You don't even have to like it, interact with it. I have to watch more 10 seconds. Twice in the last 48 hours, I've had the thought of, I've been the same. looking at my phone way too much.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Oh, yeah. And it's like, to the point to where like, I'm like, this isn't good. I've got to like, I've got to do something about this. I haven't yet because I got really, like I said, I got really into conformity gate at like 10.15 last night. And now I'm, I hadn't thought about it all morning until you brought it up. But I'm guessing that has not happened. There is a doc being released, the 12th of just like the making of the behind the scenes. And they're pushing that pretty hard.
Starting point is 00:02:50 And apparently there's like, maybe a Freddie Krueger movie. that is like that and it's a doc and like Freddie Krueger's actually like a bad guy in it. I don't know. So maybe there's something with the documentary coming out, but there's no secret episode, I don't think. Okay. Okay. Willing to be wrong. But happy to be here.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Happy 2026. This is our year. Right, Dylan? This is the third episode of the year already. We mean happy 2026. But this is our year. It's Washington. Happy New Year.
Starting point is 00:03:20 That's fact, though. I've been hitting people with Happy New Year. that was more towards the people today's the last day i think the wednesday when you're back is the last day you can say happy no if you see somebody you haven't seen yet okay right well then when does that stop like if i haven't seen someone until march can i say happy new year all the what's the next holiday m lk mok okay yeah i'm okay i'm running happy new year all the way till i'm okay yeah one week into january yeah that's all you get i i agree with dylan here but marie Christmas to all my orthodox out there.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Today is their Christmas. How about that, dude? Speaking of docs. Ladies and gentlemen, wearing a new t-shirt, Dylan Shivry. Got this from Zion. That's a cool tea. I think it's neat. Yeah, y'all can't see it.
Starting point is 00:04:08 The laptops in the way. I'm not proud, but I have developed a palette for AI slop. The sloppier, the better. I don't like these, like, well-done AIs. It's like, oh, is that real? I mean, like, true slop. I send them to Randy sometimes. You mean like the old lady getting her back broken on the chiropractor tape?
Starting point is 00:04:28 Yeah, I go old lady and seen a chiropractor and the chiropractor stands up and just jumps. It just splits her in half. Yeah, that's one. And we're like a 5,000-pound woman getting craned out of a building and the crane cable snaps. And she comes to those tumbling down, stuff like that. It's fun for me. All right. I'm enjoying it.
Starting point is 00:04:48 On that note, this picture floating around of LeBron with his. head about a foot above the rim is not real it's been photoshop's everyone is sharing it it's not even a i it's just a just a photoshop job figure it out big cat meme figure it out i don't i don't think that i don't think you're in the position to go after people what do you mean because you're the a i you're the most ai friendly person here in what way you like the ai recreations like the 50s do uh redoes of like modern hip hop you like actually listen i liked one song you have those on your workout playlist no i don't you probably do i do how to add that to a workout playlist oh it's just on instagram duops on the fucking workout playlist i don't have doops on my workout playlist you don't
Starting point is 00:05:41 no you don't have run around sue on there no mr sandman you don't like a i i do a little bit not really come on it's fun dude dude honestly like my dad's probably listening I don't know he showed me a video over the break and just from Facebook and it was like these little kids
Starting point is 00:06:05 like playing t-ball and then like it was just like they're celebrating it's probably you guys have probably seen it and like you know they get hits and then they start dancing and some of it is clearly AI
Starting point is 00:06:18 but like I'm at a point where I'm like I don't want to like have to like every time my dad shows me a potential AI video or it's like a guy hunting with a hawk like a falconer in Mongolia and it's like him taking down a cross I don't know what it is with clearly AI I don't want to like have to like correct and point out like that's actually AI because at some point I'm just you're just you're just you're being a dick there's one that's getting people uh lately it's uh there are different versions of this but it's people who are like on a safari going through Africa and it's like an open-air vehicle and a lion will come and just snatch a toddler off the vehicle and it's like like oh my god I hope it's okay it is it's okay because it didn't actually happen you know well I'm a sucker for safari vids like if there's like a there's one where they get they get face-to-face with an elephant and it starts getting territorial territorial and start stomping over at it and they just have to throw it in reverse Terry
Starting point is 00:07:25 That's scary I'm in on that dude If they start If they start fooling me with those I'm gonna be very upset I'm gonna be very upset Because I love those dude Same with the tourists
Starting point is 00:07:36 You just go I don't think I would do this The guerrilla The tourists who just go up into the mist With the gorillas And you know They go with the guides And they just stand there
Starting point is 00:07:47 And they just stand there And it's like all right You got to look down Don't fucking look that thing the face or it will absolutely rip you limb it just grabs that one guy's ankle and then like every now and then like the don't stare at in the face it might kill you seriously dude every now and then the gorilla will walk by and just like hit it with like a or like pump faking you know i could destroy you right now if i want to do they just check it they just check these tourists and it's so
Starting point is 00:08:11 faking them and i love them man yeah they're good and like i don't think i would ever do it because i don't want to be the first person to get got in broad daylight on instagram by a gorilla. I wonder what the get-got rate is for boomers that see stuff like that. On AI? Yeah, it's super high. They just don't understand what's going on.
Starting point is 00:08:32 They're ripe for it. I was at the Field Museum. That's the Natural Science Museum in Chicago. Let me tell you, they had a cheetah there. Dylan, it was pretty big. I'll have to show you the... The Dallas Suit Cheetah was big, dude. The Dallas Suit Cheetah was bigger than I thought.
Starting point is 00:08:51 it was going to be. And also there was like a like a warthog or it was just like a wild boar. And I was like, holy shit. If that's what a havalina is like that size, this 30 to 50, those are things are menace. Havilinas are smaller, I think. But boars get, they get big. They definitely need to go to any ranch outside of town. And there's probably like at least 30 to 50 that you could run into at any given moment that it would all fuck you up. Yeah. You don't want to be out there. But that was a big cheetah. That tweet that that guy was dragged for was so unjustified. Dude, he gets, people will quote tweet it or people will tweet like every year like when there's like a pig video. Like, and they're clearly like 40 of all.
Starting point is 00:09:33 People are like, man, maybe that guy. Like you guys owe this guy apology. I will say that is something that like I think people who live in like cities underestimated the amount of pigs like all over the country that will absolutely ruin your day. Yeah. There's two people on Twitter that got dragged that like deserve apologies. Jesus, the guy that heard Yiddish underneath his floorboards, and then that 30-50 feral hog guy. There are some other people that you were saying, too, right?
Starting point is 00:10:02 The hate rock people. What you're saying like Nick Flentes or something? No. Is he on Twitter? I just love that tweet. It's like the guy was like, I swear I'm hearing like Yiddish underneath my floorboards. And then there were like Jewish people building tunnels in New York. I still never, I don't know what's true about that.
Starting point is 00:10:19 I mean, I know that there were people. living under there. I'd never really got like a why. I did a I did a little dive into it. I think it was just that they were trying to expand the you know borders of the synagogue or something like he did a little dive into it. I was like because I'm like why home why were they building tunnels and it was just expansion of the synagogue is radio you're most likely to live in a tunnel at wash media like you're most likely to end up like somehow under there think so yeah nuclear fallout. Yeah the nuclear what was the what was the what was the controversy there with the boys.
Starting point is 00:10:53 I don't know. I say, what was that on the board? I don't remember. Nuclear. Somebody said nuclear like W did. I think that's how Brett says it. I catch myself saying it because that's, I mean, growing up, that's when I heard nuclear. I always heard it from George Bush.
Starting point is 00:11:09 So it's like, that's how I kind of learned and pronounce it. Did he say nuclear? He said nuclear. He got highly ridiculed for that. That checks out. That's why like, it's like, I think people like me and Brett say it because Bush was the one always the one talking about it uh i was watching trash truck with my kid and they worked in a g-dub reference and it was the uh fool me once shame on you thing you know he fucked that
Starting point is 00:11:34 one they they did that they did that bit on like a kid show on trash truck and i was like ah what rap songs uh role model no role models j cole right i think so yeah no role models i think so yeah is what it's called it's in a song we like hip hop y'all fuck yeah dude um hey check this out yeah no role models is that it i'm pretty sure because he goes you know fuck the peace signs oh it's really good right pretty good want you do a dramatic reading of the no we'll get micah in here to do that i've got a um i've got a sponsor i'm about to bring up it's back on board i don't know if they're back on board they're just we're just doing reading it lucy lucy's back in the mix how about that love lucy yeah this guy's excited dude i love lucy i got a lucy in right now i pretty much always

Nicotine is an addictive chemical. We've got a show announcement. Big time announcement here, folks. it's been a fun fun ride um don't say like that that sounds very ominous it's been a fun ride from the previous schedule but randy go ahead take it oh uh we're getting rid of coffee
Starting point is 00:14:03 friday live on patreon but we are replacing it with that's fucking not good well you know theme week theme week so theme week has been so well received and coffee friday is a live show format we already do live show formats. It was kind of redundant. It didn't make a whole lot of sense putting that behind the paywall. So this is going to be a much better situation. And like I wrote about this in a newsletter. We're always looking to retool the Patreon because that is, you know, Patreon subscribers that pay the bills. Let's let's be honest. Yeah. I mean, when we started this company, we're like, we got to retool, add more tools. We hired Randy. Yes. And I'm a tool. I think a backer
Starting point is 00:14:47 Did a backer suggest this Or like you cook this out I think I did just because it was Is there a good idea Because we wanted We wanted to do a theme week once a month And it was like well coffee Friday Like
Starting point is 00:14:57 We do that in place of the last Tuesday in the month And it just like It didn't really make sense To be perfectly clear We are not So going forward Listener voicemails on Friday We'll no longer ever have a theme
Starting point is 00:15:11 Yeah it'll just be It'd be your classic listener voicemails Please hit the pipeline 888-618-8-48-44-22. But that last week of the month, that Tuesday Patreon episode will be theme-based. You know what's interesting about Coffee Friday since we had since it was the last Friday of every month? We didn't do one in October because of spooky season. We didn't do one in November because of Thanksgiving. We didn't do one in December because of the Christmas break.
Starting point is 00:15:36 So we haven't done once since September. We did like two of my things. You might see. Look, here's the deal. You're probably going to see a coffee Friday on the. on the main feed at some point. We'll just do it because we like doing them. They're fun.
Starting point is 00:15:48 We just love the game, man. And I think if we have like a big guest in, sometimes if they're in town, it's easier for them to come on Friday. So we just do like an episode with them. But like we might get this guy who's, uh, who DM'd us about an hour ago. So it'll come by and fix the couch for us. Yeah. The couch isn't actually broken.
Starting point is 00:16:07 It's just a cheap couch. And there are these little metal brackets down here. And they, they just, they come out easily. that's freaking bracket yo freaking bracket freaking bracket uh so yeah i think we'll try to announce the theme at the beginning of the month but it'll be the last tuesday a month so this means call in to the pipeline but uh i'll just preface it by saying this is for the theme week or you can email dave wow what are we going to do this month how about you do a drum roll since mine's like and you were the percussion guy you were the mr gong and uh in his triangle i played the snare too
Starting point is 00:16:44 it's house party week it's house party week oh i heard my show last week of january house party week what does that mean you tell me dave i don't know how this came up last year but we we got some stories and you know a lot of them were drinking stories and it was like oh yeah there's one time in a house party uh high school something funny happened like cops were surrounded the house and they called them the swat team or something and it made us all right kind of nostalgic for house party days because here's the deal. You get to Randy's age, probably my age, certainly Dylan's age. You don't have very many house parties. You have house warming parties. You have baby showers. You have stuff like that. You have small get-togethers.
Starting point is 00:17:32 You don't have freaking ragers at the house, yeah. Yeah, there's never a house party that I'll go to where someone like where people will be getting drunk and like sleeping there ever again. It's kind of sad, but it's kind of like nice being an adult. man in high school someone's parents were out of town it was just so fucking on dude i was feeling so cindy the boys are just going to the side of your friend's house just getting free on in a bag and huffing it i don't think that happened to my house parties man that what happened at daves he's told us before i've seen something i do it was the weirdest thing i've ever seen uh yeah so email me dave at washedmedia.com hit the pipeline 888 61848 4848
Starting point is 00:18:12 442 can leave a voicemail um we just want to hear your stories because i think everybody has a good wild house party story don't that yeah some fun ones so it'll be anonymous too it doesn't have to be from high school if you were doing it in college when you went back for thanksgiving or i don't know prove it's wrong if you're if you're our age and you're still throwing down house parties uh for some reason yeah let's do it so this could be an email it could also be a voicemail yeah theme weeks will be both yeah fuck yeah dude i'm excited or if you have like a super special one if you got like a story that's like for the ages email me and say i want you to cold call or just call me
Starting point is 00:18:53 maybe you can maybe you can convince me maybe you can convince me maybe yeah if randy if randy's okay with such a thing the technology allows and it does okay we'll have to add more wires but uh yeah so that'll that'll drop this last tuesday the final january uh or Friday, Tuesday of January. So he'll 27th. Yeah. Be our first theme week. We got to send Ricky.
Starting point is 00:19:20 We got to get a graphic from Ricky, a house party graphic. I'm just going to tell him. Ricky, you're probably listening. Just make one, give you no direction. Just a house party graphic. I bet it's dope. Just look at like Can't Hardly Wade in American Pie and use that as inspiration. Can't hardly wait.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Wow. The guy, the movie stuck with him. It resonated. Yo, I got to get late tonight. I've never seen, what's the one, Project X? Do I need to see that? It probably wouldn't hit. It hit hard when I was in high school, but, you know, it was cool.
Starting point is 00:19:51 It was in that era of when it was all first person like Cloverfield and Chronicle and stuff where it was like always like found footage. So that was interesting, but it was fun. Pursuit of happiness. Like Blair Witch Project? Yeah, kind of like that. Pursuit of happiness, Stevie Oaky Mix, still goes hard today. Ooh, great song. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Yeah, I think that was your, Jen, not mine. Yep. I think it came out my junior year of high school or senior year. Elder millennials, we're rocking with Can't Hardly Wait. Miles Teller's in it. American Pie. Playing Miles Teller. He plays himself.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Really? Yeah. He was a known thing back then? That was, like, very early in his career. Okay. I think he played himself as like a, as Miles Teller, the baseball guy in college because I think he did play baseball in college.

So something weird happened yesterday. somebody on the subreddit posted an unauthorized video i knew this was going to happen i knew someone screen recorded that the one time we posted this a long time ago the veracity of which i cannot i can't speak to i don't know i wasn't even here that day i wasn't in the office that day so i'm i missed slantgate it was an unauthorized posting of a video so you were uh the person in question in the video. Is it AI slop? What I'm seeing? This is AI slop. This is an AI video of
Starting point is 00:22:44 you that someone has posted. I don't know. I just feel like I want friends who don't secretly record me eating eggs on a couch. It wasn't AI. And then hold, didn't hold me hostage for it. Somebody leaked it or somebody like Dylan said allegedly, if true big, they screen recorded it and they posted it to the subreddit. And it's, oh, I don't, we don't put that crap up. A.I. Slop is what it is. It's a video. No, that's real. In court of law, he can't say that's AI. I can testify. That's the real thing. Posted by Manface Horse on Red. Okay. Classic. It's a video of one of the hosts sitting on a couch just eating lunch. Was it lunch? He's having like four hard-boiled eggs for lunch. No, this is breakfast, I think. Right? It feels like you
Starting point is 00:23:37 don't ever eat breakfast on that couch. But, I mean, it's not out of the question. I think it was in the afternoon. I think it was in the morning, dude. It's funnier if it's the afternoon. You're looking for 24 grams of protein. And I was eating, I believe this was the first of four eggs I brought into the office. God, dude.
Starting point is 00:23:54 I was just house in slonks. What's a big deal? I don't know. You tell me, because you're the one who didn't want it to get posted. You deleted it. Let a white boy house a few slunks in private. What's a deal? Well, you weren't, you were...
Starting point is 00:24:07 I mean, there's the privacy of our office. There's a, there's a photo of me on this, of me unhinging my jaw to eat a hamburger. And I didn't, I don't. At least it's a still frame from far away and it's blurry and it's in a dark bar. This is just me on a couch, clear as day, just house and slonks. Yeah, what's, anyway, so I'm going to give you the floor and you're, I'll let you address this person. Man face horse. Look at the camera.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Banned face horse, you, um, I hate you. Um, I'm going to ban you from listening for a, for a week. How do you do that? You can't listen. I don't know how to enforce it, but I'm going to trust that you're going to self-impose. Be, do the right thing. You got a week, weak suspension for posting, um, this video that was never supposed to see the light of day. Honestly, you should never have been recorded.
Starting point is 00:25:07 but my my friend my friend will record he dude he'll he'll he'll sneakly record you you got to be careful he'll do it yeah i've seen him do it and so i guess this is retribution for me posting his pass-out video i don't know man i know what's going on here but well but hold on he this is months ago he put the reason this person has they're riding for will they screen recorded the Instagram posts. Right. Okay? Which Will also posted, again,
Starting point is 00:25:43 without my consent. And so this is, yeah, Will's fingerprints are all over this. You're saying this could be a Will burner. I have not checked Manface Horses history. No, I don't think this is a Will burner. I just think someone screen recorded our post that Will
Starting point is 00:25:59 posted. There are some people who have multiple burners. Man, it'd be a real shame if everyone went to go screen record this right now. before it gets removed from Reddit. Man, as I learned yesterday, it's actually not that hard to download videos from Reddit. It's on the internet, dude, it's there. I mean, you don't have to encourage more.
Starting point is 00:26:15 It's there. We're not going to take it down. Look, I wish more people screenshot at the Bendy tweet. I'm just trying to cover our bases. I do too. I do too. There are some funny comments in here. I wish somebody would post it to Twitter
Starting point is 00:26:32 and I want to hit it with a hey, Grock. To me, my favorite thing is that you're eating a hard-boiled egg, and then you just see clear as day, three more just ready, ready in the hopper. I have a thousand-mile stare for some reason while I'm eating this air. Yeah, what are you thinking about? I don't remember. No, I'm probably just thinking about the delicious protein I was ingesting. I know, but it's just so much work for only 24 grams. Isn't that annoying?
Starting point is 00:26:58 Eggs should be 10 grams. Why is it? What's a lot of work about it? Like boiling? Yeah, the whole thing. just that and then you have to eat it it's just like what if it was 10 grams i mean it's pretty easy if you just crack it and take it straight to the dome how much are in each one like six that's it yeah you have to really house slunkers dude i usually go four at a time yeah i mean that's good
Starting point is 00:27:22 yeah i mean full but i'm a four slant guy but if you're if you're a man of size and you're trying to really bulk and you're like i got to get my protein from eggs how many eggs what do you eat a fucking dozen eggs how many eggs would dan have to eat in one day day to reach his 250. Dan clears a dozen eggs a day, if he really wants to. I do love eggs, man. I mean, they're very versatile. I will say that the cottage cheese hack, it's not really a hack method.
Starting point is 00:27:50 It's one that I've been, I'm a fan of. You're still liking it? I skipped today. I did a parfait today. A parfei. A little yog, some of Sammy's granola. Does he know about that? blueberries a little honey drizzled on top and then some hemp hearts sprinkled on top hemp hearts what's a
Starting point is 00:28:09 hemp heart of hemp it's the heart of hemp you don't know what a hemp heart is no sounds made of dude look it up hemp heart these guys don't know hemp arts these guys aren't omega-3 boys it's got a bush what the hell that's one of the comments in there that's good somebody called you uh slunk at amylosevic former serbian president yesterday will call me Jeffrey Eggstein. That's the best. Which I didn't really appreciate. It said release the Eggstein files.
Starting point is 00:28:41 And they did to their credit. Hemparks are the soft, nutritious kernels from inside hemp seeds. How about that? You know what? Let's got to give credit where credit is due. And I would like to go through some of the comments because some of them were funny. The top one is pretty good. I know that couch smelled crazy after those slonkers.
Starting point is 00:29:10 I don't think I was passing gas or anything. Or is it just the smell? The slunkers didn't stink. It does look like you're questioning everything in life at that moment. I think Will putting the song of silence as the music was a nice touch. I don't think Will did that. It was, yeah, because it was on the... Oh, it was?
Starting point is 00:29:27 It wasn't the guy that posted it. You can see in the bottom. I sting corrected. Boohoo. I'm hot and successful in my co-worker posted a video of me eating eggs. This guy, independent gophers, correct. We got to get Diet Starts Monday captioned on the scaries feed. I really want to do it.
Starting point is 00:29:47 It's both way less exciting and way funnier than I thought it would be. And there's nothing to, it's such a nothing video. Slunk it on Milosevic. And then somebody said the egg hefe. The egg boss. That's you. Yeah. yeah man yeah and agree yeah thank you better at friends don't let friends slonk and drive have you ever
Starting point is 00:30:11 eaten an egg while driving a hard-boiled egg from home while driving into work yeah oh fuck yeah you are a piece of you got a problem man what's going on dude there it's a good car food there's no crumbs it you know it's not messy if i ever looked over at a red light saw somebody just housing slonkers There's nothing wrong with that. I call the police station. So, so there's got to be a law. Walk us to this, Dylan. Do you have that, like, open in a Tupperware, or do you just walk in with one?

And so you just have an open Tupperware in your front seat. Just housing songs. I mean, I can't recall a specific time I've done this, but I'm sure I have.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Yeah. I don't just, like, walk to the car like this with one egg. I know it's not crazy in there. Yeah. Why'd you eat it like, what's her name? Kelsey Plum. Yeah. I didn't eat like Kelsey Plum.

Well, I'm glad we put this one to rest. Have you ever eaten a slunk? Have you ever eaten a hard-boiled egg while riding a bike?

Starting point is 00:34:30 I guess it wasn't his mom But I did like I don't write or just cut his head off Some people didn't like that I like that It's a little gratuitous I think sometimes they show it's way too easy Tocapitate people in In TV and film
Starting point is 00:34:44 Well he's also not a real He's also made of what it appears to be like Wood Fibers Yeah but it was he was he Did you get group vibes It was a little group vibes It looks like vines and all that You understand the reference?
Starting point is 00:34:56 I did like to redesign. It's a cum reference. Cinematic Universe of Marvel. Group. I'm Group. How's it go? I am Groot. I fuck with Groot.
Starting point is 00:35:05 Don't be fuck with Groot, too. Exactly. But yeah, the capitating someone's not easy. But again, that was not our, that was, you care, I mean, like, I feel like a human would be easier than what Vecna was. Well, well.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Because she was just chopping wood. We'll get the Mythbusters on it. I don't, didn't one of them? I don't know. Somebody died? Who knows? Is that impractical jokers? Someone either died or someone got canceled.
Starting point is 00:35:32 Was myth busters? I don't know. I know they, the two didn't really like each other. They busted myths. They didn't get along? I don't think so. Jamie and. They let the myths come between them.
Starting point is 00:35:44 That was a good show. It was. When they would do like a sports adjacent one, it was like, oh, yeah, cool. They did one about pissing on a railroad track once. and how it can I electrocute you. Is it true? No. What if you take a whiz on the electric fence?
Starting point is 00:36:01 I think they did that too. Maybe that's what it was. I don't know. Pissing on something. Pissing on like a high speed rail? Your P-stream is, it's not a consistent stream. It breaks up. And so the current can't travel all the way up it is what they determined.
Starting point is 00:36:20 Okay. What if you're a real pisser? it's true i don't think they accounted for real pissers so i don't know if it's me it's different i'm getting shocked 10 out 10 they've got that thick piss that that's how i became a superhero i was pissing on a railroad track and my stream was so hard the electricity just shocked me right through the peepee now you just shoot lightning bolts from your cack no here we go that's not my superpower wasn't that what they said willia wallace did Bolts of lightning from his ass.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Yeah, I think it was fireballs from his art. It was lightning bolts from his eyes and fireballs from his arse. Got to admit, pretty dope mythology. If that's like what people are saying about you, I wouldn't want to see that guy on the battlefield. No way. He was a Scottish rebel, rebelled against the crown. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:41:50 Like, all right, that would be my move. Tiger Woods is hosting a 300-person invite-only party for his 50th birthday at the Breakers in West Palm Beach. The party has its own title sponsor, performance by John Bon Jovi. The dress code is wear a touch of red. And the menu is a master's champion's dinner. game uh what are we doing why why are we getting bon jovi it's his birthday he clearly likes bon jovi bon jovi from that era of super mid right is just not there were but it's very fitting for tiger woods is it not he kind of puts off doesn't listen to music vibes and i mean
Starting point is 00:42:42 that as a compliment because he's just too busy like just being a absolute menace in his own head yeah um but sure john bon jovi go play uh living on a prayer that's one that got played at the frat house quite a bit living on a prayer all those bon jovi that he's got like two or three and everybody knows jovi never got to be never um who's on this list you got to think it's a who's who all the stars will be be there. Dude, you know JT
Starting point is 00:43:17 will be there. That's, that's what I'm curious. Like, what players get the nod? Pards. Probably all the Jupiter guys. All the,
Starting point is 00:43:24 yeah. J.T. Who else is he boys with? You know, Phil's not getting that invite. Phil's the last person. He's a liability. He's last person.
Starting point is 00:43:37 You can't invite Phil. He's a, shit's going to get weird. No, he just, he'd corner you and talk to you about Venezuela. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:46 you're right that's exactly what he would do um offshore drilling you know it's we live at an age where we know like a lot about everybody so like you're you're sports heroes like you know what the shit they're into it's hard you know i kind of wish i didn't really know like i didn't know that tiger was into jump on joke it doesn't ruin anything for me but it's just like but do i want it or do I want, do I want Tiger, like, would it be more weird if he was like, actually got an NBA young boy doing the party? That would be sick. I mean, if one of my good friends was like, yeah, my favorite band is my favorite musician
Starting point is 00:44:29 ever, John Bon Jovi, I would be pretty judgmental about that opinion, I think. Like, really? You know, like, all the music in the world is available to you, right? You know that. There's AI slop you could listen to. AI slops better than John Bon Jovi. Del and DJs the party with his, do-op remixes of living on a prayer there's no way
Starting point is 00:44:51 living on a prayer is Johnny used to work at the dots Johnny used to live on the dots two three four come on do some doo-op party of likes a little doo-op from time to time you like a little do-up I don't think I like do-op no as you're crossing names off of the your people to kill list and then you sit down on your couch and put lipstick on you don't like a little doo-wop okay it reminds me of his childhood do-wop of course was very popular in the 50s early 60s yeah again i was born in 1983 so the joke randy made yes to be clear i was born the year before you were born that would make you my pops my old pops age we're nine months apart we're nine months apart

Starting point is 00:53:06 Daddy had a little burp. A little burp there. What's up with the portal, man? We got some exciting stuff happening in the transfer portal right now. We're, I guess, almost a weekend to the portal. What's Texas doing? I don't know. I don't know what the fuck, Texas needs offensive alignment.
Starting point is 00:53:25 I don't know what the hell they're doing, Dave. another linebacker and a promising young linebacker just entered the portal from Texas they got lots of lots of holes to fail anyway there's a situation brewing
Starting point is 00:53:36 between the Washington Huskies and the Tigers of LSU the once great Washington Huskies so DeMond Williams he's a quarterback for Washington very talented dude oh yeah very talented dude
Starting point is 00:53:51 he on January 4th so we're talking three days ago he re-signed with Washington, signed a contract to continue playing football there. I don't know the numbers involved in this contract. I don't know how much you was getting paid. I heard it was four. Four million. Well, he is now trying to re-enter the portal.
Starting point is 00:54:13 Or I don't know if he entered it to begin with. He's trying to enter the portal now a couple days after he signed this contract. And LSU is the team that is targeting this guy. LSU has whiffed on Brendan Sorsby, Sam Levitt. I don't know. Sam Levitt was courtside at the LSU game with, with Lane. When this, when this news was dropping. Which made it very juicy.
Starting point is 00:54:40 And so he wants to enter the portal and perhaps go play for LSU, which is probably going to be more money than he was getting from Washington. And of course, LSU, to be fair, a bigger platform than Washington, although that's a fine program in its own right. Washington's like, hold on a sec, dude, you just signed a contract with us. So they are, A, not a green, so the university has to enter them into the portal after a player asked to be entered into the portal. And they have, they have 48 hours to do so, all right. But since the contract has been signed, they're like, we're not, A, we're not going to release you into the portal.
Starting point is 00:55:20 And B, we are going to pursue, like, legal avenues to enforce this. contract and keep you at Washington. So it's a mess. Of course, Lane Kiffin is behind it. It's perfect that he's involved. Hasn't coached a day at LSU, and he's already had some shit. I know, I know. They all, allegedly, like, the numbers are 4 million from Washington, 6 million from
Starting point is 00:55:42 LSU. And of course, tampering is a thing that's not allowed, even though they all do it. This is a clear case of tampering, right? Feels like it. I don't know how else it would have gone down. It's not even in the portal, and there's community. communication between them. Interestingly, there is a player, his name is Xavier Lucas, and this happened just last year.
Starting point is 00:56:07 He transferred from Wisconsin to Miami last year without ever entering the portal. Apparently, you can just enroll wherever you want, and you're eligible immediately. So there's precedent here. So this guy doesn't technically have to enter the transfer portal. He can just show up, go to enroll at LSU, and then he's on the football team immediately. So that is a thing. But how the contract, the language, obviously I don't know the language of the contract that he signed with Washington and how enforceable this all is. But this will be an interesting little test case here on how this plays out.
Starting point is 00:56:44 Yeah. I don't really fault the, I mean, look, if I'm a quarterback and someone's saying, hey, I'll pay $2 million more, I'm thinking, yeah, I would like to go do that because there's no guarantee I play at the next level. So this may be my chance. I don't know his. Absolutely. So I'm not really faulting the player. And a lot of people are going to be mad like, oh, you've got to honor your contract. I totally understand that. $2 million is life is a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:57:14 $4 million is a lot of money, but $6 million is more. But I do hope, I do hope this goes to litigation for a number of reasons, get some clarity on this, get some kind of precedent established. Also, if it goes to discovery, which it never will, I want to see some, I want to see some texts. Yeah, I do too. I want to see some lay. I want to see some dirt, some stuff get released. The portal, it's a lot of fun, but it is just a wow. it seems like there aren't really any rules whatsoever yeah i mean it's and that's going to i think
Starting point is 00:57:47 that's going to change as a guy who's the the the team i root for there's you know two that i follow closely they're not major they're not big dog portal players don't big money around and it's just and i'm watching it just like damn this is this is pretty wild uh it's it's got to be a weird feeling if you follow like one of these programs it is throwing around big money like i get why it's cool with tech because it's like no offense tech just won their first big 12 this year made the playoff and but they had in the last you know it's been a a weird 10 years for them 15 years um but if you're like a texas fan seeing this shit you're just like uh cool yeah let's just go let's just go get these guys but also like you know this is all about the change right there's going to be some kind of
Starting point is 00:58:39 there's got to be something's going to change in the next couple years and it's just like I don't really know what my program's going to look like um it's just very odd it's very odd like kind of covering it because it's it's it feels like I'm happy for these kids getting getting money like that's cool I think most people wanted the payers to get played but all I don't know it's just very odd following it and like nobody really knows what the controlling law is and how this shit's supposed to play out and dude I used to be like a pretty big like recruiting junkie my I still follow it cut a bit. But the high school recruiting, which is year-round, I mean, the portal, there's only a two-week window where players can enter the portal. Of course, once you're in, you stay in as long as you want. But it almost, high school recruiting barely matters anymore. You're going to sign 25, 30 kids in a class. And then in two years, I feel like 75% of that class is going to be gone. If they don't get playing time, they're going to transfer.
Starting point is 00:59:33 Or as some of these smaller programs, if you outperform, like you're ranking. and like you go to, say you go to a small school and you're a badass, you're probably going to move on to a bigger program that's going to offer you more money. So high school recruiting is just so much less important than it used to be. In the portal, you can just, you can fill a hole so easily in the portal. I don't know. It's, I don't think it's, I'm happy these kids get paid. I think that they deserve to get paid because they add a lot of value to their programs.
Starting point is 01:00:05 But man, the portal kind of sucks at the same time. for a lot of schools I mean I don't have much room to complain I mean Texas has a lot of money to throw around and it's a decent draw obviously but I still I still kind of hate it it just feels gross to me like this Parker Livingston situation
Starting point is 01:00:22 the dude grew up a longhorn fan there's like pictures of him in like longhorn gear as a child and he fulfilled his dream by playing at Texas and he got this was his redshirt freshman season had a pretty good season and now he's playing for oh you it's like
Starting point is 01:00:38 it's fucking nuts so that's kind of yeah i don't know if he's a guy that'll play at the at the next level but is he an austin guy he's he's not from austin he's a texas kid yeah he's a small town texas kid i don't know i mean you just think about like i know he's getting paid i think oh you's paying him like eight hundred thousand 800k is the rumored number you're that dude it's like i could stay at texas where i'm i'm arch's like best friend, I'm his roommate. Also, like, I get a lot of targets. Like, I'm not like an afterthought in that offense. He had, like, 550 yards this season, like six touchdowns. He was almost a safety net early on for Arch, right? Yeah. Okay, let's say I don't go on to play at the next level,
Starting point is 01:01:21 and I make a little bit less. Like, he's one of those dudes who, like, will have a job wherever he wants in Austin. You know what I mean? Yeah, for sure. That's, but now he went to OU, and it's like, oh, can he come back? I don't know. It's kind of funny. I think Texas overplayed their hand. I think they thought they were going to get much more attention in the portal. But they're going after Cam Coleman, the receiver from Auburn, who's like the number one portal player. And I think Texas was like, all, we have a good chance to get this kid. So like, yeah, Livingston, you can go. Like, we're going to have a better guy here. Now it's like, are you going to get him? We don't know. He's visiting tech, I think, to
Starting point is 01:02:03 day is wing goes back right wing goes back but dionre more who was the number two for texas is gone yeah i don't know what they're hell they got a lot of work to do rady what do you think the solution for the portal is college football in general uh i don't know i i was going to say something i have i have nothing to say i don't know no go ahead i think that what's per billionaires should pay for their own fucking dude that well i knew you were going to say that that. I knew that I was going to be your response to this. He was digging for something sports related to football. He was like, oh, to do the Bill Simmons. All right, let's do it. Let's open up a six pack. Let's do it right now. I can't wait to see how this plays out, though.
Starting point is 01:02:43 I want him to stay at Washington only because I want Kiffin to be screwed. He'll get a good quarterback. He will. It's LSU and it's the Kippin office. I think Can't Hardly wait is just a much more rewatchable movie. It's an American Pie? And that's why I've got higher on my list. Oh, I agree. I agree with Dylan, though. Like the whole you know, high schooler, and then they have the hats, and then they pick the one. And it's like, that kind of like, what does it mean? It means like in two years you're not even going to be there. Like, what's the hype with all this?
Starting point is 01:03:11 When I send my $70 check to Texas State, it's like, go get some, go get some guys. And then they get some guy and then he's gone the next year. I'm like, where the, what the hell? What's my money? They did pretty well in their bowl game, huh? They did. It's three. Dude, we don't lose ball games at Texas State.
Starting point is 01:03:31 three and oh in bowl games can can texas say that no they can't you're right fair enough yeah yeah i don't think produce doing much i don't know i have not been monitoring it it's basketball season you got to track the situation halls basketball season well fun show listener voicemails going down this afternoon we're dropping that on friday 888 6 618-4-4-22.
