We are coming! Metal Ranchos, Metal Ranchos, Metal Ranchos, Metal Ranchos. Alright we're back. Happy Wednesday. Circling Back Podcast, my name is Will DeFries. Today in the studio with me. Some of you know him as Roger Dorn. Some of you know him as Al Glyzadente. Me? I just call him Dylan. Dylan Chivory, how's it going today? You know Will, it's going pretty well. Pretty well. I'm excited to be here.

Got cooler weather on the forecast. We have a fantastic weekend coming up, but I want to start off with like a mini steam if I can. Yeah, yeah. If you allow me to. Yeah. Can people stop saying zeitgeist? Dude, you've just heard it more in the office lately.

Okay, six months ago, that wasn't even a word. Yes, it was. I'm pretty sure no one used the word Zeitgeist. Now I'm seeing it. Randy said it this morning. Yeah, because it's in the Zeitgeist. I'm seeing it. I'm seeing it all over everything. Just shut up about Zeitgeist. Zeitgeist. What did this word come from? Oh man, you're making a big mistake by asking people to stop saying it. It's a weird word. It's it's snooty. It's like, oh, shut up. A bar that I used to frequent often, mainly because they had cheap beer, was called Zeitgeist in San Francisco.

And that was like 15 years ago. For real? For real, for real. I bet people pull up to the bar and ask themselves, what the fuck is a Zeitgeist? Because no one knew. I hate it. I don't use it. And I ask that you all stop using it as well. Thank you very much.

And that concludes my steam room today. If I've learned anything about backers, it's that if you ask them to not do something, they totally stop, dude. They don't do anything. You gotta double down, aren't they? When I asked everyone to stop sending me the Miller Lite Vortex bottle video, more on that later,

about just how, you know, how vortex bottles were a thing. Yeah, my DMs did not let up. I understand. I understand I'm asking for trouble here, but I just had to get that off my chest. It's super annoying. And Randy, you were annoying this morning when you said it, but I forgive you.

Just don't say it again. Well, you're probably wondering, why is it a two-man booth right now? And unfortunately, I see a third day. Well, Dave kind of got, Dave got stuck in his bag and he hasn't been able to get out. If you listen to yesterday's spooky season where we welcomed a guest named Nikki the knife, AKA El Pumcarino. Yeah. Um, you will know that I don't know if Dave's ever been in his bag more than he was yesterday. I said this on

Twitter and I put a lot of thought in thought into it before actually tweeting it because it was a quite a statement that I made but it was not only the best spooky season we've ever done in my humble opinion. It was a top five episode all time that we've done at Wash Media. The rate at which Dave was coming up with things that a old school Italian mobster would come up with. Like it just the phrases he was using, I was like, okay, all these years of rewatching the Sopranos has like, it's altered his brain

in a way that I didn't realize. It was impressive because he clearly, like, I think he jotted down some phrases to use that were gonna land and they did, but he also was just going off the cuff with a few of them. Like he was feeding off of us and just absolutely nailing lines. And it was, I've never seen Dave sew in his bag. It's crazy that, are you doing a line stroke? He said nailing lines.

Okay, yeah, yeah. I mean, it's crazy that we had noted MLB superstar, Brent Rooker on the episode. But he wasn't even the highlight. Noted P job master. No offense to Brent, he was great. And we have to bury that lead because Dave was just so in the bag.

It was incredible. If you wanna go check it out, patreon.com slash circling back podcast. There are, there's a week free trial for anyone out there who's looking to dip in. Can you buy this episode on demand, Randy? Yeah, so also Patreon offers to buy like just single episodes if you want.

So if you wanna do that, go to Patreon, just buy one episode if you just wanna try one. We've gotten two of those. Two people have purchased episodes. Yeah, if you wanna do that, go to Patreon, just buy one episode if you just wanna try one. We've gotten two of those. Two people have purchased episodes. Yeah, if you wanna do a small loading phase, that might be an interesting way to do it. I would implore you to just do the free trial and see how you like it.

But yesterday's episode of Spooky Season really set the tone for the rest of Spooky Season, which excites me. It sure did. Very exciting stuff. Dave's in Pinehurst, dude. That's frat. That is frat. Yeah. I had an opportunity to go to Pinehurst for my buddy's 40th about a year and a half ago. I wasn't able to do it. Conflict. But

yeah, I regret that one quite a bit. Even though I'm not a golf guy, still Pinehurst, you can't pass out. I've got no invites to Pinehurst so if anyone wants to invite me to Pinehurst I'm right here. You know where to find me. My DMs are always open. You're going to Pinehurst with me? I'm just looking for an absolute squad to mob with at a dope golf course that's not in the state of Texas so if anybody wants to do that with me let's do it. Okay. Yeah.

Okay. I do have a golf trip coming up with some of my lutes Michigan Two of them are from Michigan. Is it in Michigan? It is not it is not it's in the Carolinas and I'm excited for it's it. It's an interesting golf trip because you know, normally people do like long weekends somewhere like oh I'll fly out Thursday. We'll get some you know 36 and on Friday people do like long weekends somewhere like, oh, I'll fly out Thursday. We'll get some, you know, 36 in on Friday. Due to work obligations from the rest of the crew,

I committed to doing a Monday to Wednesday golf trip, which normally isn't how you're supposed to structure these things. It's not exactly the most convenient thing in the world. When are you going? Next month. Next month. November.

November, November. How's it going, Randy? It's going good. I'm just enjoying being here. Just wondering what's in the zeitgeist this episode. Just having fun. Right, right. See zeitgeist.

Hey, real quick. Yeah. Teasing peas out to our friends out there that are in the path of Milton. I understand it's a pretty scary situation. And all the best to you folks. Yeah. Very scary.

I flew into Fort Lauderdale a couple weeks ago. Right after Helene came through, I believe. It was during when it came through. During. Fort Lauderdale wasn't gonna be affected by it, but just like, you know, the wind, the waves, everything was, you could see how much it was poppin' just from that.

And it was just kind of a weird time to be in Florida because you knew that other parts of Florida were just setting up for devastation. And the amount of fear and stuff going into this one The amount of fear and stuff going into this one surpasses all the fears that were for Helen? Helene? Helene? Like, it's just, yeah, I really hope that everyone's getting out safely and is going

to be okay from this. Yeah. I understand the storm is going to lose a little bit of intensity as it approaches shore, but not enough. So, scary. Yeah, prayers up. Prayers up. I am so thankful that I have not had to deal with something like this because I just, I

can't imagine being in this situation for people. Yeah. Austin luckily is not in the danger zone of many natural disasters. Even when Harvey came through and kind of hit Houston hard, hit Houston really hard, we got so much rainfall from that, that it was like there was a lot of flooding in Austin, but it's just nothing compares to what can possibly happen here. Very scary. Have you seen the Captain Ron?

People are comparing him to, not Captain Ron, maybe Captain Ron actually. I've seen him compared to Captain Ron as well as Lieutenant Dan, the guy who's just staying on his boat. Yeah. I need this guy to live. Yeah. I need this guy to live. I saw a tweet yesterday and I don't know how accurate this is, but this young lady would clearly lived in Florida and she was like, wow, our mayor just said if you don't evade the city, you will die. Yeah. And while that does sound pretty extreme, it also like will get your attention because if people are like, no, I can power through, I'm going to be fine.

You know, I'm different. Like, no, you're not. One of the main issues is that people like if I was looking at some stuff last night and people who haven't evacuated yet are having trouble evacuating because the roads are just so packed. And so it's like, what do you do? You don't wanna be stranded in a car when it comes through. Yeah, I don't know. Ticket prices to get out, I don't know if there's anything airlines

even want to do to help people, but the plane tickets to get out, even when this first started becoming something in the news cycle, it was like, oh yeah, American Airlines, shittiest airline out there, is they were doing like, I mean, it was over a thousand dollars to fly out. It's like, you need to figure out a way

to get local residents out. You can't surge pricing during something like this. I know it's probably all automated and everything like that, but you need to have some type of natural disaster contingency plan because I'm glad, I mean, American airlines should get dunked on for about a million different reasons. They're easily the worst airline out there right now going. But yeah, like everything, hotel prices, it's just, and apparently in the neighboring states too, the hotels are so booked that even if you're evacuating, there's really nowhere to go stay.

Yeah. Everyone stay safe to all our backers out there who are going through it. Send us anything in the aft area. I mean, if there's anything we can do presently that would be like links to any support, we would love to do that. Sure. Toss those up in the story. If there's anything that comes up even after it makes landfall, we would also love to put some

stuff up and I'll put it up on Sunday Scaries as well since that's got a pretty decent following of people who can probably help. Should we do some announcements? Yes. Tomorrow listener voicemails beyond the paywall in addition to spooky season this week. We have already curated this week's calls, but you can drop some in for next week. 888-618-4422, washedoutsubstack.com. Dylan had to get out of the washed media bag to let Dave in it for spooky season.

Dylan wrote an all-timer last week, and you can watch every episode at youtube.com slash circling back. We should be on track for Dylan's Track House tomorrow. We're doing some major, major updates to the Golden T-Machine. Yeah, we've got five new courses headed our way the update should be finished here in an hour or so So that should be good to go for tomorrow. So that's fun. That's fun for me

Are you currently in the market for some new balls on this golden team machine? I have purchased new balls that I haven't been able to use yet because the update hadn't gone through but what makes the new balls special? They're longer and it gives me a little bit more spin. Spin rate is higher around the greens like it's got more bite to it and more backspin on the greens but yeah the cosmos is what they're called. Sick, sick. Pretty pomp. As always washedmedia.shop for all your washed media merch needs. We had a meeting yesterday regarding Christmas sweaters or holiday sweaters. We could had a meeting yesterday regarding Christmas sweaters or holiday sweaters.

We could do a whole segment on this, honestly. Honestly, I would absolutely do a segment on it. Had a bar stool not stolen, one of our most popular designs a couple of years back when we showed our hand too early. So. Not the first time they've stolen something from, well, the last one was from Grand Axe.

Yeah, I mean, if you own a Barstool, I Was Inverted, Santa's Sleigh, Top Gun themed sweatshirt, just know that that was from the brain of a former Barstool employee, Brett Merriman. Yeah, now a wash employee. Do you think there is any, do you think Brett was maybe feeding them ideas and being like, hey, can I get 10% of this shirt if I give you guys

like the best idea that we had? Ooh, I don't think Brett would do that. I don't think you would either. No. I don't think you would either. Our friends over at Roeback, washed 20, gets you 20% off anything on the site. I'm in their new arrivals right now, Dylan. And I have to say, we're looking at very nice temperatures in the next couple of weeks here

in Austin, Texas, which means we get to bust out the layers, talking fleeces, talking hoodies, talking QZs. And guess what? They got them all. They've got them all. I want the huddle hoodie. It's not, it's not their normal tech material. It's just a straight up hoodie. And if it fits like everything else from Roeback fits, I'm going to be very happy with that. I feel like every week to have something new and it's always so dope. Of course they have the Game Day collection, which is a collection of university licensed apparel. It probably has your favorite university on there. If not, maybe it's coming at some point, but some really good stuff in there as well for

your Game Day attire. Again, washed 20, get you 20% off. I know, I mean, if any of our row back people are listening right now, I just want to put it out there that I will be getting a hunting dog performance polo because it essentially just looks like a bunch of rosies on a polo. I just saw this for the first time.

So yeah, I'm gonna be wearing that on the golf course. Oh, it does look like Rosie, doesn't it? I know, I know, dude. She's got a new lease on life, man. Since we moved into our house and we have like a yard that she can just freely go in and out to, she has leaned up. She is jumping higher than I've ever seen her jump in her entire life. And she is playing more fetch at a more rapid clip.

Good for Rosie. She's just chopping out there right now. That's great to hear. She had a staph infection in her foot a couple weeks ago and she was being very gingerly on her back legs and I thought it had to do with her hips and I was like, oh man, she's seven years old. This is the first sign of aging, like pretty depressing, kind of have to understand that it might be difficult from here on out if it's a hip issue. Turned out to be a staph infection and she has rebounded like crazy. It's great to hear. New product alert. What? alert what jackets you see this

No, they have look at the Fulton hybrid jacket. Well, I know they have the Fulton vest That's like a it's not like a down vest But it's a vest that you can like actually wear and play golf in and that's not gonna be like annoying They have a jacket version of that as well now, too Check it out. It looks nice rollback.com watch 20 for 20% off everything. Dylan, not to flex too hard, but I kind of went viral last night. Man, I saw that, Will. Pretty excited for you. I noticed it. I gave it a retweet. Thank you.

It gained a second jet stream. I saw that. You're welcome for that. It was revealed yesterday. Actually, do you have the video, Randy? I didn't put a link in the, if you just wanna pull up my Twitter. Thank you. It's right there. Japan, this is from the tweet.

Japan has invented a beer glass that makes you drink slower. The shape of the glass. Whoa! The shape of the glass is more of an hourglass and it stops the beer from flowing out quickly. And I just don't think this is something we need in life. It's as noted friend of the pod Landry

tagged me and he said it's pretty much the opposite of a Vortex bottle. Also, how long does it take to fill this glass when you're pouring beer in it? There's nothing about this glass that is inspiring on any level. This is trash. I would say the music is very cold call heavy. I promise you, like literally no one asked for this.

No one asked for this. I sent a tweet out at work. I sent my tweet out at work yesterday and my tweet just said, I'm just spit balling here, but what if instead of a beer glass that makes you drink slower, there are a long neck bottle beer with ridges in the neck, uh, almost like a vortex that shot beard on your throat at record speed.

Yeah. Um, I'd be more interested in that than this. I took my absolute boys, my sons, uh, out for a little, you know, play date last night. And when I returned home and checked my phone, I was shocked at how many people were identifying with what I was trying to say. To anyone out there who does want Vortex bottles back, just know that I'm writing for you. It's been a long road.

I have tagged Miller Lite in this for max visibility. And I don't know if they're gonna do anything about it. I said- They haven't been very responsive to your previous requests. I mean this the tweet the tweet itself has 5.9 million views and my response tweet which is just a direct message to Miller Lite has a hundred seven thousand views. At this point the amount of the amount of eyes that I'm getting on Miller Lite I'm not asking for a sponsorship deal. I'm not asking to get paid.

The best payment that I could actually get at this point would just be them bringing back Vortex bottles. I have a friend who works in packaging. Dude's just out here packaging stuff. And like, I think I might need to have a behind closed doors meeting with him and say, what do I need to do to get in the boardroom of? Miller light what do I need to do to go up to Milwaukee and Just talk to them and try to convince them to put some ridges in the damn bottles again

This hourglass shape sorry to go back to this. I know I'm fully behind your Your journey here it's the biggest layup I've ever seen like Like there's a, not to make a double entendre here, there's a thirst for this right now. There are frat burner accounts talking about Miller Lite Vortex bottles. We got all of us sitting here, just wishing that we could taste that one more time. Like just, they could make so much money

by just shooting beer down on the ropes. And they've gone retro before and it worked great for them. I want them to go retro again now and bring it back to their ugly can that they had. I know their cans now are sexy, but I want them to go retro again now and bring it back to their ugly can that they had. I know their cans now are sexy, but I want them to go back to the ugly labeling for the Vortex bottles. Sometimes go forward, you gotta go back.

I still think government stepped in and were like, hey, you can't promote drinking fast. We gotta get rid of the Vortex. Something happened there. Can't you frame it? Because otherwise why get rid of it? What if you framed it as not drinking fast? And what if you framed it as like,

maybe it takes away some of the carbonation that makes you full and burpee? We know what those what the vortex design is for though Will. Do you think people have adopted your method of over foaming your beer during the pour yet? I don't know. People probably not. It's all I do now. Good. I do it every single time. You're smart. I'm over foaming everything. Yeah, conventional wisdom is like, all right, pour it slowly down the side of a glass, therefore there's not much head on it. That's not the way you do it

because the carbonation is gonna get out at some point. It's either in your glass or in your stomach and it's gonna make you super gassy if you don't do it. But this glass that these people designed, the first half you drink at regular speed, right? Because only when it gets down to like the pinch in the hourglass part, does it start to slow down? Correct.

So you drink the first half at normal pace, then the second half is just like, oh fuck. I will just keep filling up the top half. Yeah. This is so stupid. What are we doing? I wanna get this as a gag gift for somebody for like a Secret Santa this year.

Is it available for purchase? I don't know if it is. There's no link. I haven't seen any link to it. Is it possible that Japan didn't actually invent this? And this is just like some Japanese video that's going viral that they're not actually doing? Yeah.

That is very possible. People talk about how the Japanese love to take things and perfect them. Steak. But they kind of went the other way here sushi Yeah, like they are doing the exact opposite of like what they're supposed to be doing with this Brady did you do slow drink any beers while you were in Japan? I only drink I guess technically three beers was over there not beer drink What does it take for you to drink a beer at this point as a noted?

What does it take for you to drink a beer at this point as a noted non-beer drinker? Beer die. Beer die. I will, after playing at Brett's Clam Bake, that would be the one drinking game that really gets me. I guess. I've never played. Flip Cup too. I mean, if they're just doing it with like beer, I'm not going to say no, give me a seltzer.

But I tried it. I was at this little brewery that was like at a rest stop. I'm like, you want to try it? And one of their beers was pretty dang good. Sapporo is one of my favorite lagers out there. I don't know if I've ever had like a Japanese beer that I haven't liked. They're really good. I ordered a really we were at a sushi restaurant and I wasn't really drinking that night.

I didn't want to like do much, but I kind of just wanted something to sip on. And they had some ridiculous like sixteen dollar beer. And I was like, well, if I'm not drinking it, everybody else is. I can order a sixteen dollar beer. And it was one of the best beers I've ever had. I had a guy respond to me last night. His name is Spherehead. His Twitter bio is simply American nationalist, devout Protestant, supporter of the Germanic peoples of the world. Everything else is secondary, he says, 212 followers. He said, can you motherfuckers not treat beer

like it's the greatest thing to ever exist for five minutes? I told him to not be a narc and he called me a gay slur. Oh. And then everyone just started dunking on this dude for being an absolute dork. I saw that he was getting ratioed. Yeah, I mean, my favorite one from that was someone called him Baby Hitler. They hit him with the Pwedge voice in the mentions.

Is it one of ours? Is that a backer? No, it wasn't. When I saw the Pwedge voice come through, it was from someone who I assumed to be a backer and just said, oh no, baby Hitler doesn't white beard wink us. Just other people doing Pwedge voice. I think they were calling him baby Hitler because he supports the Germanic people of the world, which like just kind of says like, yeah, I'm into white people.

Okay, it does give that a little bit. I understand. American nationalists who loves Germans or Germanic people. Gay slur, huh? Yeah, I think that was called for. Yeah, I think the bar is kind of low based on the rest of the guys' tweets, but you know, we just out here. We just out here? Okay. Dude, I think I'm'm gonna be on my marzen grind this fall. James I mean if james marston wants to drink some marzins with me. Should we should we like do a marzden beer collab? I didn't know what a marzhen was. Do you know what these are? Of course I do but for people at home who may not know what it is Go ahead and tell them they'll be coming in the zeitgeist for sure. Yeah, dude. These are like super in the zeitgeist right now.

They're just not. It's a German lager beer style with the following characteristics. You ready for this? Amber orange to deep reddish copper color, bright clarity. I'm already in. In an off-white foam. The aroma is German malt, typically rich,

bready, somewhat toasty, light bread crust notes, and the flavor is a little sweet. I have to say, we got a Marzen for a Chartoberfest last week, my son's first birthday, and I had so many people- Is that what that was? Yeah. Oh, it was. I had so many people walk up to me and say, this is such a good beer.

It was so good. It was really, really good. 5.8 ABV, I believe. was this is such a good beer. It was so good. It was really really good. 5.8 ABV I believe. Yeah she was a heavy one. Look it's the best time of year for beers and that's that's not debatable. You got you got your brown ales, you got your marzins. Marzin or Marsden? Marzin. No D.zen. And of course your Oktoberfest beers. I still haven't had a Samuel Smith, not Brown Ale yet this fall. I haven't had one in a couple seasons.

Need to go to Central Market or something. Or what's that one that Dave goes to? The beer store. I don't know. And I met. Dave goes to like every liquor store. Yeah. That makes it sound like he's an alcoholic. No, Dave goes to like every liquor store. Yeah. That makes it sound like he's an alcoholic.

No, Dave just likes to go hunting. He does. He likes to go hunting for like good bottles of bourbon. He knows a lot more about that than I do. I had three Guinness the other night. I bought an eight pack of Guinness in case we ran out of beer at the party so I could offer people like more beers. Smart.

For any late stragglers there, but then no one did it. By the way, the weather coming up is is giving Kelly's Irish pub it is If you're one of my lutes Just know that you're probably gonna get a calendar invite for me the first weekend night where there's a high in the 60s because I will be organizing a an absolute boys meetup at Kelly's Irish pub. I'm seeing high as 72 next Wednesday, which we're flirting with it.

Flirting with it. What if I don't, we cannot have Texas, Georgia be like the first day where like things are in the sixties because everyone's gonna be wanting to watch that. We can't do that at Kelly's Irish Pub while you're at the game. I'll be at the game. Maybe it's a Friday, John.

You know I'm there. All I need is that invite and I'm there. Well, something else that's a beautiful thing to do during the fall is just watch the the boys of summer just absolutely mobbing the playoffs. And Dylan, you're a baseball guy. I am. Watched a hell of a game last night, actually. Which one? Philly. I'm sorry, not Philly. What am I talking about? San Diego, LA. I watched the first

editing. It was awesome. Big Bats are just alive in this series. Tautis Jr. is on a tear. Ever since I moved to Austin, Texas, Detroit sports kind of hit the skids for a bit. For about seven years.

Really nothing to watch there. Red Wing's not making the playoffs for the first time in two decades. Tigers were terrible. Pistons are just an abomination. And the Lions eventually were the first turn of the page to a new chapter. And now the Tigers have stormed,

they stormed back to make the playoffs. But I found myself with a little conundrum, Dillon. I have not watched a single Tigers game before this playoff run. I don't know anybody on the team besides the dudes that have showed up in the playoffs now and now I know their names. I've got one of my friends from Michigan who sent me a breakdown of all the personalities on the team just so I would have some type of basis for it,

which helps. But I'm kind of at a breaking point where I just don't know how to handle this because I loved, there was a period of my life right before I moved down to Texas where the Tigers were easily my favorite sports team. I loved watching them every night in the summer after I got home from work. I would just drink, I would literally drink some Vortex bottles with my boys and just watch the games to the point where we had friends who weren't Tigers fans being like, guys, we got to stop watching every Tigers game. Like it's really, it's like no

girls want to hang out with us ever because we're just watching the Tigers all the time. So are you feeling a little bit fair weather at the moment? I am. I am. And I don't know what to do about it because I've never adopted a different baseball team. I don't care about any other baseball teams, and I deeply do care about the Tigers as an organization, but I also don't wanna be the guy who's walking around acting like I know everything. Okay. What do I do?

I have some thoughts on this. I think everyone has a little bit of fair weather to them, to some degree. For me, it definitely applies to anything non Texas football. Cowboys, I'll throw that in there as well. I guess just football in general. Like I'm a Rangers fan. I'm a Spurs fan, but the Spurs haven't been good since their dynasty run. Did Wemby not turn them around immediately? Not immediately. Spurs are gonna be all right.

They're just not great yet. And so I like, I don't watch games. I don't pay close attention. Obviously the Rangers had, they won the World Series last year. So I was very dialed into that. But I am, you can accuse me of being somewhat of a fair weather fan.

Now, I've always been a Texas Rangers fan and so when they get good again they will my attention will be back on them. You are from Michigan. Yeah. Detroit is famously in Michigan. Four hours south of us so it's not like I could just like pick up and go to a game all the time. You've always been a Tigers fan even though you don't always pay attention to them that's your team you've never deviated from that you didn't become a Rangers or a Stross fan just because you moved to Texas I had my A's phase but I wasn't a fan of the A's they just entertained me for free on

television while I was poor in San Francisco but that's as close as I've gotten to enjoying another team success. And they didn't have any of that. It is completely fair and within bounds for you to hop back on this this wagon. I don't want to be the guy tweeting about it, who didn't tweet about any of the regular season, because I think that's a tough look. I don't want to be like walking around acting like I'm living and dying by like every pitch, because I simply don't have like the personal investment in the team

But having playoff baseball back It's nice like there's like it's nice. I just feel like I don't deserve it playoff baseball is so much fun every pitch is so important, I mean it Stakes are so high. It's the, the environments are fantastic. Every head bat is crucial to your team success. It's, you have guys that'll have great seasons and then just lose it in the playoffs. It'll just slump or whatever.

And it's like, it, I don't know. Everything just feels, everything just intensified. And you know, it's, I don't know. It's just, it's so much fun anyway what i'm trying to say is you're you're this is totally fair i don't think anyone will judge you for being like oh i'm so in on this tigers team even though you didn't watch a regular season it's the playoffs and um i don't know what to do around the house what do you mean because like we got two kids to take care of and stuff. You know how that be? And like I can't act like the Tigers playoff game is more important than like

doing like, okay, let me put it this way. During like Texas games, I know that Sally is a bigger Texas fan than me. And so I will try to take some of the more of the responsibility within the house during that time so that she can enjoy this game. If she wants to go to a game with some of her friends from college, then like I would raise my hand and be like, oh, I'll take no problem.

I'll take care of the boys, whatever. She doesn't really do that, but if she wanted to do it, it's like, no, I will take on that responsibility. I'll be the main parent for the day to take care of stuff so you can go enjoy one of those things. Like I can't just sit there and be like, hold on babe, I gotta watch the end of this inning because she's like, well, come on, you didn't care about this. Keep the game on.

You're aware of it, even if you don't watch every pitch, you're aware of what's going on while tending to your fatherly duties. I was playing with my son outside the other day when Carpenter hit the 3-1 bomb on Cleveland to essentially win the game in the ninth inning they had to obviously get through the bottom of the ninth but I was watching it through the window while playing with my son and my dog outside and it that home run alone reinvigorated me a lot okay even describing what you just like that scenario where like there's an important game on your team is playing and it's obviously the playoffs and you're still like doing your dad Shit, that's commendable. I think that's better than that was also watching

I was watching through the window of the outside just like watching and then celebrating in my yard Yeah, my neighbor my neighbor David probably thought I was a psycho Yeah, the only the only team I get okay, so I've been dating Chelsea since February. And so most of that obviously was before football started. She has learned that I'm somewhat crazy about Texas football. And so when Texas is on, she's she's seeing a different version of me, they just gets like, the highs and the lows are just,

I mean, they affect me quite a bit. Texas OU is this weekend. The lows affect you way more than the highs, no offense. Yeah, I get it. We watched the Michigan game with my family and I was just, I don't know. I just, I'm a different person when Texas is on. Anyway, all of that is to a much greater

scale in Texas plays. Oh, you that is the one game of this of every season that I am. I look forward to it the most. I as soon as it's over. I'm like, I can't wait for the next one to happen. It's so much fun. Texas hasn't been great in that series of late. That's okay. But she's about to see a whole new me on Saturday. And I'm a little bit worried about it if things go well, everything's fine But if Texas starts to lose and if Texas does lose the game I'm just I'm a patty little bitch for the next four or five hours

And I'm worried that she's as eventually she is gonna see that side of me and I'm just gonna be like look I'm gonna lay it out for like look. This is who I am. I can't change I'm sorry. I know that I act like a little baby and I'm sorry But it's gonna pass. I'm ready. I'm myself again. I just I mean I Moved to Texas when they were famously horrible. Yeah, Charlie strong years Into a tough time like and so like I saw a lot of anger from you I do I can report that I've bought a new shirt ahead of the Texas OU game. No way.

It got in last night. What? I was searching, I went online the other day. Where do you find this stuff? All I searched for, all I searched for online the other day, I just searched, comfort colors, university of Texas shirt. I just wanted a comfort colors like. It's not even comfort colors.

It's not even comfort colors. The first result that came up was this. And I was like, well, I feel like I have to get this $22 free shipping, no returns. And I was like, you know what? I'm getting this Texas. There's no way this shirt is legally made. It's Grateful Dead themed. I feel like you can find any Grateful Dead, any collab, anywhere, it doesn't matter. I don't think the company that printed this shirt

has rights for the Grateful Dead logo, and I don't think they have the rights to put Texas, the University of Texas at Austin on it. Most likely, yeah, this is illegally made. Well, I ordered it in a size large because I had fears that this shirt was going to be of the shittiest quality, and I can report that it's of the shittiest quality.

I washed it last night to shrink it because it was hilariously big on me. And not only did it shrink to under a size medium, but a lot of the printing on the shirt has already, you can see it already wearing off. And so it's just gonna look like a really shitty shirt in the next few weeks. I know, I was like,

Sally's gonna hate that I put this on to go to a tailgate this weekend. It's a burnt orange, it's a Grateful Dead themed t-shirt with the burn orange. What do you call the logo there? Is there a name for it? They call it the Steely.

The Steely. Steely logo. Which, I mean, it looks cool, obviously, and it says Texas, University of Texas at Austin under it. It's a cool shirt. I was like, yeah, I'm just gonna get this and do it. I don't know what we're gonna do this weekend for the game, but Sally's gonna not be happy. I mean, here's the thing. I this weekend for the the game, but uh, sally's gonna not be happy. I mean

Here's the thing I'll wear this around like her family and stuff But if i'm actually stepping out like stepping out stepping out in the heat, whatever I'm rocking that row bag. Oh, yeah, you kind of have this would feel good underneath the rowback sweatshirt with the uh longhorn on the chest though So yeah sure We'll see how it goes. It shrunk so much, like have you ever just intentionally tried to shrink a shirt because it's way too big on you? Yeah. It shrunk so much that now the sleeves on the shirt like bow out. Like

it's like it's like it's it's such a shitty shirt. That's how J-Bone wears his t-shirts. J-Bone! He needs to he needs to size up in some of his shirts I think. What J-Bone? Yeah. J-Bone. What are your opinions on J-Bone's t-shirts? How much are you talking to J-Bone these days? Are you calling J-Bone enough? I am definitely not calling J-Bone enough.

What the hell, dude? He calls me all the time, so I don't have to, I feel bad, and he always mentions, I always have to call you, right? I'm like, yeah. It's because he always calls me when he's on a dog walk. I'm like, okay, yeah. And I'm usually available.

I don't know when he's available. I'm not calling my boys enough. I don't call my boys enough. I need to start calling my boys more. I think we should start like a quota. You gotta call at least three of your boys a week on your commute. Dial up your absolutes, man.

I always just call my parents. That's better than your lutes. It is, it is. Like, I don't feel bad about that. Parents love to hear from you. Do proudly root for your Tigers. Do you have any? No shame. Okay, I'll probably, I will.

I just don't want, like, the second someone calls me out for it, which is now going to happen if I tweet anything about it, like, I'm just going to get killed. The one thing I am going to do to supplement my support of the Tigers is that Whatever team we're playing I'm going to shit on that team no matter what which is nice because we have both the Royals division rival and the Guardians mmm in the playoffs and so it's really easy to shit on like the the division rivals, but I Think I'm gonna shoehorn. I'm gonna go in that direction

more. What's the Detroit series at right now? 1-1. Then the game today is at 2 p.m. Central time, Central Standard Time, Central Date Time, Central... This round is best of five, you know. Subjective time. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I know.

but I've enrolled in a Grateful Dead history class at the University of Stanford University. Yeah, Will's an Ivy League guy. Oh, wait, Stanford's not Ivy League. Nevermind. No, no, I mean, it feels like it's a West Coast Ivy. It feels Ivy, but it's not. Are they big 10 school now?

No. No, they didn't go big 10. Are you sure? US, it was USC. I don't know. And UCL. Those are the only two. I feel like it's an absolute brick from Stanford

and the Big Ten to not get Stanford in the Big Ten with how everything was going, right? ACC. That's crazy. That's a mistake, right? Interestingly, the Atlantic Coast Conference, they are not on the Atlantic coast at all. They have a Pacific coast heat.

In fact, yeah, they are on the opposite side of the country. That travels tough. I was watching the class, it started last Thursday, and I couldn't go because my parents were in town, so I decided to rewatch it, and they were talking about how Jerry Garcia died at the age of like 53, and they were talking about, yeah, after the age of 40, people who don't take care, yeah, you know, after the age of 40, like, you know,

people who don't take care of themselves, they don't eat well, they don't exercise. And I was sitting there, I was like, man, I eat well, but your boy needs to get some, uh, some exercise in the mix. But like, why do I need to bother? We got Ozempic out here and now we have a pill that, uh, just simulates running a 10 K. Okay, I'm seeing this for the first time. Is it, this is real, huh? It says, researchers in Denmark have developed a new drug that mimics the effects and benefits of strenuous exercise without moving a muscle.

The study published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry maintains that the drug produces the same health benefits as running a long distance at a fast clip. Currently called Lake or Lacke, the drug has been shown in lab rats to flush toxins and strengthen the heart. What?

I don't really know, I know biohacking's been a thing that people get into. Brian Johnson's been trying to make his dick younger. People are taking Ozempic, who don't need to take Ozempic just to lose weight. Just to look emaciated. Yeah, like there's just so many different things that people are doing now that are making themselves look in shape even though they might not be totally in shape, which whatever to each their own do whatever you want to do. But I don't know if we need to have people just taking pills to simulate like all the stuff that happens Also, like our lab rats that this is just a general question

Like can we just guarantee that humans are gonna vibe off this stuff and we're just using lab rats No, no there's okay if Next step is is a testing period with with actual human beings. I would I would try this like once I saw someone say this is just meth. I'm wondering, I'm wondering. Okay, I have so many questions about this. I hate running. Running is the worst thing ever. I'd love to walk. I hate to run. The only time that I've gotten into running was when I decided I was going to train for a half marathon that I didn't end up doing and

the only reason I got obsessed with it was because I just created a schedule for myself and started doing it. And then it was like a game for me. Like, okay, I need to do this many miles on this day, this many miles on this day. And I think without like the gaming of it, I wouldn't have enjoyed it because going out and just running a long distance is literally one of the worst things in my life. I hate doing it. It's so terrible.

We had to run two and a half miles before soccer practice every day. And it made me wanna quit the entire team just because I didn't wanna do it anymore. Every day before practice? Yes. Holy shit. I think our coach's mentality was like,

hey, if we're not the most skilled team on the field, we might as well be the best condition team. I can understand that in soccer being a huge advantage if you're just in better physical condition than your opponent, obviously, right? In high school it was, I think the stat was like for high school soccer games, an average player ran about five miles a game.

And so I started most games. I wouldn't get subbed out that often. And so- You think you ran five total miles in a game? Is that right? I didn't, I'll say that. I started one game at McFeel. You were in goalie.

What? Weren't you the goalie? I was not the goalie. Oh, I thought you you the goalie? I was not the goalie. Oh, I thought you was the goalie. No, I played, I mostly played right back. And then I got some nods at striker when we played a shitier teams. We saw Will try to be a goalie one time.

We saw how that went. No, dude. So when I got on the high school soccer team, I had played goalie like a couple times in like middle school just because we needed someone. And I truly think it's way more fun to play Pickup games when you have a goalie because just shooting on an empty net's not that fun I like I like shooting more than I like anything else in soccer

And so I would play goalie every once in a while just like hope that other people would volunteer to play goalie Whatever, but I joined the soccer team late I joined my junior year because I was playing golf for my first two years And so when I joined late our we needed an extra goalie outside of our starting goalie for just practice one day and I raised my hand said, Yeah, I'll do it. And then suddenly I got just I was made the JV goalie for the rest of my soccer career and I was terrible. I'd had no skill in it. I didn't practice it. They

would just be like, Oh, shit. We have a JV game today. Will, can you go play goalie for like the first half? It's like, I don't think I should be doing this. Are we headed toward a society where everyone is just in in peak physical form without having to do shit? Ozympoch, this stuff. Obviously, there are like, ways to gain muscle via supplement. Yeah, like I'm doing the testosterone stuff.

testosterone replacement or whatever. Like, you know how I told you I'm at like a, like I'm doing the testosterone stuff testosterone replacement or whatever Like you know how I told you I'm at like a weight that I'm very comfortable with right now And I haven't done anything to get there I'm like maybe the testosterone is just like doing doing his business. Have you lost weight since you started taking it? I don't think I've lost weight. I also haven't been drinking hardly at all except for the past weekend Yeah, I feel I feel pretty good energy is picked up I don't really know boners are good. I can't tell dude. Yeah, just kidding dude rocked up. Everything's great I think the issue for me is that uh, I

Started doing it at around the same time that I like heavily reduced my drinking and so I'm like, okay I don't know which one's helping more Okay I don't know which one's helping more. Okay, drinking is, I love to drink socially. Not drinking for like weeks on end is, it absolutely makes you feel like superhuman. I felt invincible at the end of September. Randy, didn't you take a long break from it too? I did like a two week break and I was just working out.

I was like, I feel like a superhero. About two weeks is what it takes for me to feel like, oh my God. Two weeks, I think is the minimum that you need. You feel like you have superpowers almost. You just feel healthy and energetic and clear headed. It's great. I crushed that workout.

I've never had a workout that good. But now I'm scared that my tolerance has gone down. So I go out and have four heavy beers. I'm gonna be like, done for. But then that Marsden is staring at you in the fridge. He's like, ah man. Yeah, I say I didn't drink that. I say I haven't been drinking that much.

But if you look at like the second my parents got into town, we were having drinks at every meal and then I threw a kegger. Just saying Dylan, I think you caught an invite to a certain tailgate for the Georgia game. I RSVP'd already. And there was discussions last night with one of the parties who was maybe saying

they're gonna run back the same keg that we had. And I was like, please do it. I couldn't enjoy the keg as much because I was trying to work the room I had kids to take care of and figure out so I was like very I was very much not in drinking mode at the actual party until the keg stand I did 12 seconds for those ones out there wondering just an absolute different beast over here but like I'm worried yeah that's gonna be a day I'm gonna be hammering those things cuz they taste good

I gotta be careful cuz I'm going to the game I'm sure the guys I'm going with they're gonna want to meet up and drink before the game as well So I gotta I'll be fine. I gotta pay for stuff a bit. Where are your tickets for? Oh you or not? Oh you for Georgia Have you ever set with Eisenhower before he's no, but I think I know exactly where his seats are. They are 40-yard, West side, about 35 rows up. They're excellent. So yeah, you'll be feasting.

I'll be feasting. Remember the picture I took of you guys? Yeah. You and Drew? Yeah. And who else, I forgot who else you were with. My absolutes, Hot Colin and Logue Dog. Yeah, those were from Mike's seats.

That was the game, or no, you weren't a part of this. That's the game where I wore Birkenstocks and some girl roasted me for it. Told me I didn't take care of my feet well enough. She told you that? Yeah. We were waiting in line to get a beer. She did not say that to you.

She was, I think one of the guys was like, she started talking to us and then one of the guys asked like, hey, like how's my game day fit? And then she goes, better than his. I was like, how's my, how's my game day fit? And then she goes better than his. I was like, okay, why am I taking strays? Was she like a college girl that just didn't give a fuck? No, she was a girl that was at the game with her parents and she looked really grumpy the entire time. She sat really close to us at the game and she just looked grumpy the entire time.

And I feel like she started taking it out on me and my Birkenstocks. Here's, I know you probably shouldn't wear Birkenstocks to a UT game. It's not really exactly like normal thing to do, but I was just catching a vibe that day and that's what I did. I'm so pumped for that game. I need to get into that game. I'm not willing to pay for a ticket at this point

because the only thing that would make me wanna buy a ticket for this game is if Georgia loses and like maybe something goes down a little bit. They're very steep. I'm sure they dropped a bit after Georgia lost, but still it's gonna be one versus if Texas wins Oh really? It's like it's $600 to get a nosebleed seat. I'm talking second to last row $600 for just seat Yeah, and then if you want to get in the lower bowl, it's

$1,200 easy. I saw I don't know how accurate this is I saw a screenshot of one of those ticket purchasing apps of the Texas A&M Texas game. And it's like, it's twice what Texas Georgia is. Twice, I mean, it's nuts. I don't know how people go to, I don't know how people do it. I said this to Sally last night

because you've talked to me before about traveling, like you think I'm insane for traveling to like concerts out of town. Yeah. And you own some real estate in my brain. I was like, yeah, it is kind of a wild move. Well, okay. Also this is coming from a guy

who just doesn't like concerts. No, but you also grew up in a city where people come here. I didn't grow up in a city where acts go. So I'm used to having to drive four hours to go somewhere and do something. But then I started thinking about, I was like, you know what, you know what's more crazy?

People go into away games and spending $1,200 on a ticket to go Maybe get their ass kicked and then just be like, wow I just wasted all that money to see like have the worst time of all time That's the thing about it is is the potential of your team losing and it like kind of dampens the whole trip Do you think George is gonna travel? Yeah, I don't I don't visiting visitor tickets. They don't get a big allotment at DK are Do you think but of course you can buy a secondary market and do whatever you want I feel like horns fans are horned up to go to

SEC schools for away games now Austin is a major like oh we have Austin in the yeah Do you think do you think like Bulldog fans are like oh man now we get to go to Austin for sure I've had people message me saying like I'm gonna be in town for the Georgia game. Like, let me know if you guys would go out for beers or whatever. I love the LSU crowd that came in for the LSU game a couple of years ago.

They were fun. I had a frat dude in a tech material polo that was two sizes too big for him, LSU branded. That little Woodrow's tapped me on the shoulder and he goes, dude, do you know how many strip clubs we can go to right now? And I was like, I love your energy right now. I wanted to celebrate the big win with some nudity.

No, this was pre, this was the night before the game. So I was like, this guy's not going to go to sleep and he's going to show up to the tailgate smelling like glittery perfume. I guess when you're 21, you can do whatever the hell you want. Can we talk old person's home for a second? Yeah. I kind of wish Nikki the knife was here to talk about this real quick because it's over Vienna sausages. But someone got stabbed in the chest at a nursing home because he was accused of stealing another man's sausage.

I get it. Do you touch another man's Vienna sausage? No, you leave that alone. What? Says an argument over who stole Vienna sausages at a coastal Georgia nursing home ended with one man being stabbed. Tybee Island police say that they were called to a nursing home last week where they found a man who had been stabbed in the chest. Investigators say one man accused the other of stealing his can of Vienna sausages. During the argument, one man pulled out a knife and stabbed the other. It's

unclear if the man who stabbed was the one who lost the sausages or not. Like, are these like prisons that? I don't know. Okay, I don't know. I know there's a lot of sex going on at these places. Have you heard about this? Yeah. They're just fucking. Well, what else do you have to do at that age?

Do the people that work there have to like wheel people into the rooms for like dates and stuff? Maybe. Like, hey, can you take me down to? Cecilia's room and just leave me there for 20 minutes Like do you have to schedule that shit out or is it like you're like eating your applesauce together at the table? And it's just like hey, hey Cece. Let's get out of here when someone that's this old Commits a heinous crime such as stabbing someone in the chest, which is like intent to kill

It's like setting them in the leg, right? I'm not I don't really like I'm not a man of the law Like I don't really know a lot of what do you do with an old person like that? I think star someone in the chest is worse than stealing the sausages. Do you don't like take you don't like take him to jail Yeah, do you kind of say no guys like we're gonna ruin this dude's life We just sausages we just isolate him in his room and call it even? It says it's still unclear if the Vienna sausages were actually stolen. Well, that's when you gotta get to the bottom off. I know they say don't cry over spilled milk, but I also say don't stab your

absolute boy over stolen sausages. There are absolutes no more after this altercation. What do you do if someone steals your glissade like a ball game? Good question. I probably don't stab him. I'm probably like hey, man Do you just steal my my hot dog? What the fuck's your problem? And then I'll probably let it go because I don't I don't like to fight I Don't want to fight over it

It's a hot dog they're replaceable What does Texas have for food these days at the games? They have some pretty good options. They have a Chick-fil-A, they got plenty of barbecue. Of course they have the classic hot dog stuff too, but they have some good stuff. Okay, okay. Yeah. Okay.

And plenty of local craft beers as well. Yeah, but if you're not just drinking the tall boy Coors Banquets there, then like get out of my scene. They also have the self-service stores where there's no one working the kiosk at all. You just swipe and then they ask for a tip. And it's like, yeah, I'm probably not gonna tip this machine. They might be a little greedy.

Yeah, I don't like going to concerts and spending $22 on a beer from a refrigerator and then being told to tip. How do you know they ID you at these things? Beer prices at DKR though are not on the upper end of college football stadiums. Correct. Yeah, they're somewhat reasonable.

I mean, you're still gonna pay an upcharge obviously, but. I don't even know if I've ever had a Vienna sausage. Are those the same things as like Lil Smokey's? I don't know, actually. Hold on. Randy, have you had Vienna sausages? You're giving Vienna sausages. I have Vienna beef

Which is the best hot dog out and out there, but is that true? Yeah, it's the one Vienna beef is what makes all like the Chicago hot dogs, but Vienna sausage I feel like it's like little smoky, right? It says Vienna sausages tend to be softer and texture and mouthfeel and are sliced given them in open-ended appearance Although the appearance or although the look of Vienna sausages might remind you of little smokies, Vienna sausages typically have a garlicky more seasoned flavor profile but they're also typically more juicy and soft. Are they small little

Johns? Yeah. Okay. When's the last time you had a little smoky? It's it's been years unfortunately. You could have. Did you have a pig in the blanket at our crib? I thought that it's more of a kid play. I didn't want to take the kids pigs in a blanket. Well, unfortunately, Fritz had about 20 of them, and I think we only made about 50. Part every time I saw him, he was running back inside to grab one and then running back outside to hit the bounce house. Parks did grab a little plate of them.

Yeah. Yeah. Sally made him last night with the leftovers. And I have to say, they absolutely hit. I think it was the first time Parks ever had a pig in the blanket because he brought he brought it up to me he said these are so good. I was like go get some more. Any major event that we do any like anything that we do if we throw a party in our place if we're going somewhere else and there's kids she's always just like I'll make I'll make uh pigs in a blanket I'll do it I'll make the pigs in a blanket it's like we don't need pigs in a blanket for this. Yeah you do. We might. You always need pigs in a blanket.

don't need pigs in a blanket for this. Yeah, you do. We might. You always need pigs in a blanket. Bro, let's go out this weekend. There's a crazy event happening. I like to turn off. Bro, bro, bro, there's a crazy event happening. Let's just go have fun and let go of it. Daily War Trials, let's go. This weekend in fun presented by a new sponsor. Dylan, hit that. We have a, oh, very appropriate for Texas OU weekend and shout out Big Tex at the State Fair of Texas. We have a new sponsor, new sponsor alert.

Y'all hear about this flavored air? Yeah, buddy. It's a category that is quickly becoming the leading alternative to vaping and smoking. It's a whole new movement towards better habits led by the sponsor of today's podcast. Fume. Guess what? Fume is the leader in this new category.

No, you don't have to. You don't have to. These things are fun to hold and they actually look, they're very sexy looking. They have a great weight to them. It gives you like an old school, like pipe feel to it. What if I told you that it's got delicious flavors to choose from, like, I don't know, crisp mint, orange vanilla, little creamsicle action?

Orange vanilla is the one that I currently have loaded right now. Does it taste like a creamsicle? It does a little bit, yeah. You can satisfy that oral fixation through passive diffusion system that utilizes no electronics, vapor or combustion. You draw it through your mouth.

I have perhaps the weekend I'm most excited for in a very, very long time. So much is going on. Of course, we already talked about Texas OU, but it starts for me with going to ACL. I am lucky enough to live really close to Zilker Park where ACL is located. So it's just so it's like a two minute walk to get in to get to the gates for my place, which is really, really nice and convenient.

Yeah, I had to hike through when we left ACL the other night. I would have done anything to live where you live because we had to leave the festival and then we had to walk through a very, very, very dark trail up to the parking garage where we parked. And I'm not going to lie, I thought we were going to get stabbed at one point. Yeah. Honestly, not living close to it has been a huge drawback in the past because getting in and out of that place can be an absolute absolute nightmare especially if you stay to the end of like the final act when everyone leaves at once forget about it I mean you can't

really get an uber and you've got to wait forever. Who are you gonna go see? Red Clays Trace. What days are you going? I'm going Friday and Sunday for sure so Saturday obviously it's a big football day so I might catch Dua Lipa Saturday night. But on Sunday I'm gonna do, I'm gonna start at Chapel Rowan. I'm gonna catch about 20-30 minutes of Chapel Rowan then I'm gonna sprint over to Red Clay Strays and hoping the people, the mass of people doesn't follow me over there and I'll get a good spot for Red Clay Strays. I'm obsessed with them right now They're so good anyway

Sturgill is after that on Sunday. I want to catch Sturgill on Friday Chris Stapleton, I believe is the headliner Friday. Is that right? Yes Stapleton and blink 1a2 I'm gonna cut Chelsea wants to see blink. We might be sure to roll with your boy. We might split are you going? What stairs are you going? I don't know so I'll get to that my weekend in fun. I don't really have, like, I have a lot of things that I can do this weekend, but I have not solidified a plan yet. Talk to Harbs, he mentioned Linking.

I don't know who else is going really. See, I wanna see, if I go Friday, I want to go in the earliest band that I wanna see is 530. Who's that? St. Lucia. I think he's more of a DJ. Okay.

And then like Leon Bridges right after that. And that would go straight into Blink-1A2. Okay. I want to see Leon and then Stapleton on Friday. I don't know if I'm going to make it Friday, man. Cause Saturday, I'll be honest, Saturday's not my favorite. Obviously I'd like to go see Dua, but I don't think that's gonna happen. And outside of that,

there's nothing that's really trying to get me there. Sunday though, you might see me Sunday. If you're there Sunday, you might see me Sunday. You know what's setting up well for you with the Red Clay Strays? They're going up against the two most popular shows that I saw while we were there, Dom Dalla and Chapel Rowan. I'm unfamiliar while we were there, Dom Dalla and Chapel

Rowan. I'm unfamiliar with Dom Dalla. Dom Dalla is a DJ. I had no clue how popular he was until I saw, we had to walk by his performance in order to go to Sturgill Simpson and it looked like a much routier crowd than Chapel Rowan could have ever dreamed of. DJs live don't do a ton for me. What he does that I think would do something

for people who don't like DJs live is that the set that he has that he plays from is wild. But I'm also not a big DJ guy. I don't need to go, the only reason I would like to go to St. Lucia, and I don't even know if he's a DJ. I don't know if he plays instruments or what, but I just like the music. I don't to go to st. Lucia and I don't even know if he's a DJ I don't know if he plays instruments or what but I just like the music like I don't I don't want to go to a generic

DJ set that's just bass drops all the time We went to red clay Dave and I went to red clay strays at bourbon and beyond and while they sounded great We were so far away because it was I think that one of the probably the most popular act there. They were they've like Really gained popularity quickly. So I didn't, I wasn't close enough. So now that they're going to be right here, I want to run it back and see if I can, I can listen to them and get some get a good spot. So I'm very excited for that one. So yeah, it's just for me, it's a music festival and football. And I'm very, very

much looking forward to it. What about you? I don't know. I don't know. I want to go to I want to go see and I'm very, very much looking forward to it. What about you? I don't know, I don't know. I wanna go see Blink-1A2 on Friday. Randy's been really not making this easy on me because he just says they were great. Do it. So I don't know if that's gonna happen or not.

My wife is not gonna wanna go to Blink-1A2, and so I'm gonna have to find someone to go with me, which is not gonna be the hardest thing in the world. But I'm worried that a lot of people are gonna wanna go Friday, they're gonna wanna go see me, which is not gonna be the hardest thing in the world. But I'm worried that a lot of people are gonna wanna go Friday, they're gonna wanna go see Stapleton, not Blink. Saturday, Texas OU, I have no actual plans right now. We might go to our friend's house for the second half

after some kids have taken naps and stuff. There's ACL going on. There's also a third option here, which is a fun one. The US Men's National team is playing in Austin at the Q2 stadium where Austin FC plays. Did not know that. We have our new manager, first look at his team that he has selected himself.

They're playing Panama. The tickets are not that expensive because I think there's so much going on. Austin is buzzing right now. I know. There's so much, I could have an all time day if I wanted to. There's so much to do in the city right now. The month of October in Austin is lit. I can't believe we've made it here. We are looking at such good temperatures. Like I feel like I'm in a much better mood in the last like 24 hours because we got that little glimpse of highs in the 70s and it's sad that that's something that can actually change the trajectory of my life. It absolutely changes the vibe.

It's a total vibe shift. Randy, what are you getting into this weekend? I'm not really too sure. If someone had a free ticket for Friday, I would just go back to just watch Blink, that's it. Otherwise, probably just a pretty easy weekend. Not much planned. I haven't, I had one goal this summer

and that was to ride a jet ski. So this might be the last like good weather summer, like day, so might just go run to jet ski. I fucking love that you have a goal for the summer to get a jet ski and you're completing that goal in November. It's October. Or October, I mean. But still, yeah, I don't know.

We'll see. I might just catch up on my shows, too. Got to finish Rings of Power, Vox Machina. Fantasy is very much in the zeitgeist right now. So I got to finish all that stuff. It's pretty zeitgeisty. Yeah. It's giving zeitgeist.

It's not. Randy, I mean, hypothetically speaking, if I had an extra wristband for Friday, would you want to go with me? I would definitely go for Blink. Okay, okay. Let's see how things shake out because I don't know, I need to talk to, you know,

one of the stakeholders in this wristband, which is my wife, whose wristband it is, but I don't think she's gonna wanna go. So I might be in touch with you. Okay, let me know. What time do they go on? I think 8, 10 is- That's not the worst.

I can get the boy down. I mean, honestly, the walk from the office to Zilker was not bad. We just parked here and walked. It's pretty I mean, honestly, the walk from the office to Zilker was not bad. We just parked here and walked. It's pretty nice. How long is the walk? About like 25 to like 30 minutes. It's not an uphill walk either.

Like you have a short uphill and then you're like just cruising the rest of the way. Exactly. I think that might've been better than the situation we put ourselves in on Sunday. So, okay, Randy, I'll be in touch because I don't know what the move is. Hey, just let a naysayer know. I could easily see Sally already giving

this to somebody, so we'll see. All right, guys, I think that's all she wrote. That was a good one. We'll be back for voicemails. Trackhouse tomorrow, two o'clock Central. If the updates are done. It'll be back for voicemails. Trackhouse tomorrow, two o'clock central. If the updates are done. It'll be good. We'll be good. All right, we'll see you guys later. Bye. Thanks for watching guys!
