all right we're back circling back podcast presented by row back where you can get 20 off your first order using back for 20 live from the lodge my name is will to freeze to my left david ruff do we need to set up a washed media cameo account we probably do at this point we've all resisted doing it from our personal like accounts like yeah we we when people reach out to us we will occasionally do like shout out videos for somebody who's got something going on you know whatever but i feel like there's an angle for us to do like across the board a washed one we could do like a charitable angle you know we charge like 20 bucks i think there has to be a charitable angle because i don't i don't want people to pay me to record 30 seconds of video for their birthday no doubt but i want to do it out of the niceness of my heart.

Why do you not want people to pay you $20 for that? Oh, fuck. That's Barrett Dudley. Sorry. I didn't chime in pre-intro. It just feels like a money grab. We already asked people to go beyond the paywall. Sure.

Okay. I would do it for free if there was a better way to coordinate it than DMs. I wish there was a Cameo, but it's $0. I'm not saying this to sound like a good guy, but because the act of getting a DM and then DMing and then not forgetting about DMing this person back, because I had my notifications turned off. Cameo just makes it really easy. This is not an ad read for Cameo.

My, my DMS are an absolute nightmare. Like I have a bunch of unread ones. I don't check them all the time unless it's somebody that I know, or it's something like pertinent. And so like, I will just lose track of all DMS. And so it's just pointless for me to even try to keep up with it at this

point. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe you just need a, you know, a specialized at wash.com email address where people can submit these.

Boy, we get so many. I'd be fine with that. I'd be fine with that. We just knock them out. We could do video Friday or just come up here and do it. Your charitable donation is a good call. For a $30 tier,

Randy will add explosive effects to the video before we send it back. There you go. Which goofy sound effects. You have to add all of those. The ones that we just did. Cut those up and use those for the sound effects. Happy birthday.

Three stooges. I think there'll just be lots of requests for the... I'm trying to bust, I'm trying to come. Yeah. I'm trying to bust, I'm trying to come. They could... Put that one in there for me. Happy birthday to all the people celebrating birthdays today.

That's very big of you. Is there anyone in particular or are you just giving a blanket? No, I wonder. Let's see who's got a famous birthdays today. That's very big of you. Is there anyone in particular, or are you just giving a blanket? No, I wonder, let's see who's got a famous birthday today. Barrett, when's your birthday? It's next month. November 26th. Ooh. Yeah. So you get some Thanksgiving

action sometimes, huh? Yeah, last year it fell right on Thanksgiving. Do you like that? I've never been a birthday guy, and I'm pretty sure that it's because it coincides with Thanksgiving like that. Okay. And for a long time, I just wrote it off saying that Thanksgiving was my favorite holiday. I like the food. It's holidays.

You get the family around. It's all good. Now I'm in my mid-30s here. I'm able to be honest with myself, and I hate it. Yeah. I hate it. I've never been able to have a fun party. Friends never get to celebrate.

I feel like you could. It's a bunch of bullshit. But have you ever had one that falls on the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving when the squad's just mobbing in Houston together? Yeah, yeah. I feel like that would be a great one. The squad doesn't mob anymore, man. All you people with kids out here, there's no mobbing anymore. other yeah yeah i feel like that would be a great one that the squad doesn't mob anymore man that's

all you people with kids out here like there's there's no mobbing anymore well as someone whose birthday is the day after new year's day uh it's pretty much impossible to get people to go out and drink with you on your birthday since sober january is in full effect you gotta just bundle it the collective hangovers in full effect from just the last two months of drinking it's just all brutal bundle party what is what is the best month for your birthday? I think I'm jealous of people with summer birthdays. I'm a summer guy. Yeah.

I'm a summer boy. That's good. Yeah, I'm a July, as you are aware, probably. Yeah. Summer's good. As a guy who likes to play golf, it's doable, but it's very hot here. I would like a good spring birthday. Yeah.

Like early April. Maybe something near Master's weekend. That could be fun. I like the sound of that. It's just it was so wet this year, you know? I feel like everything would get rained out. This is true. I mean, Fritz mashed that 420 button.

That was big of him. Every time you say that, I run it through my head because I always forget that that's real and not a joke. Yeah. I'm serious. It has not clicked in to where it's just facts. We went to go get his passport recently, and I started laughing when I was filling it out because I was like, I forgot his birthday is 420. Well, you know what that means.

Fritz is going to be an island boy. He's going to have some very fun birthdays when he's away from home for the first time, I think. Just trying to make it. My niece's birthday is Cinco de Mayo, and I think she's also going to be in the same boat of having some very fun birthdays wherever she may be. Yeah.

What charity do you think uh the island boys are donating to on cameo you have to one man probably just probably just uh climate change yeah they're trying to save the save the sea turtles did y'all see that going around yesterday yes the uh the map of what america will look like in like what is it 30 years i did not know okay let me let me find that this is this is a off the dome segment i'm adding to the pod so can i just explain it please do it yeah so so somebody put out a map that just said this is what the united states will look like if we don't reverse climate change in the next 30 years and what they did was they overlaid the mediterranean sea over the united states and so it was just pretty much like an idiot detector of who's just

who's who believes this and who doesn't. But my favorite thing about the map, and I'm going to give a shout out to our old writer for PGP, Gnome. They have Las Vegas on the water in this one, and he just said it's going to go off. And that's the best case scenario here. Dallas is looking like, I think Landry, Luka Dondthik on Twitter tweeted, like, me and Dallas in looking like, I think Landry, Luca D'Anthic on Twitter tweeted,

like, me in Dallas in 30 years and it's just him like on the beach holding up a margarita. Because, you know, oh yeah, this is the Mediterranean. So I don't think any climatologists have predicted this. Look, there's Italy, there's the boot. See, I would have never even known that it was the Mediterranean if it wasn't for the Italy boot. The boot really gives it away. But the reason – Almost recognizable.

The reason I knew it was fake, and this is embarrassing because I don't know – I couldn't draw the Mediterranean if I tried. No, you couldn't. Most people could not. Yeah. But the reason I knew it was fake is because Lake Superior filled in, which no one has happening. You're a lake boy. I'm a lake boy. Lake boy.

Yeah, but I don't think the entire United States is going to flood, and then the deepest lake in the United States is going to just randomly fill in. Weren't those lakes created by glaciers? Dude, whoever created them must have been someone great. I don't know how they were formed. Probably glaciers. So, like, you should know this. Yeah.

Barrett, can you name all the great lakes? I feel like I've made you do this before. You have not. I'll give it a shot. Superior, Michigan, Erie, and... You got two more. I got two more? You got two more. I'm not going to get them. I feel like Katie Thurston when she got asked to name

five countries in Africa. And I'm just totally... I'm flubbing this. I should know this. I got Superior, Michigan, and Erie. Those are the big three. Yeah, those are the easy ones. People say those are the big three. Everyone says that. Oh, like Michigan. Right? You said Michigan, though, right?

Superior. Oh, maybe I did say Michigan. Yeah. No, I'm out. I'm tapping out. Huron. Ontario. Yeah, no, wouldn't have got there. Yeah. It's okay. If you ever confront this in the future, just use Holmes, H-O-M-E-S, as your mnemonic clue.

There you go. Which one has the Edmund Fitzgerald? That is Lake Superior. You got to be careful with those gales in November. Yeah. And which one does Harbor Springs reside? Lake Michigan. Lake Michigan.

Yes. Little Traverse Bay, that feeds into Lake Michigan. Yeah. Shouts to all the Great Lakes out there. Barrett's here because Dylan is still on vacation. Yeah. He might legitimately actually be on Cabezo Watch. Have you seen the news out of Tulum?

There was a shooting. Is he in Tulum? He's close to Tulum. He's Tulum adjacent. There was a shooting and I'm pretty sure that some Americans were injured

if not killed in it and that is concerning for us as we have someone that is very close to the area right now. Yeah. When's he coming back? Tomorrow?

Yep. Can't get home soon enough. Yeah. Was this a... That sounds like a short trip. I thought he just got down there. He got down there Sunday. Sunday soon enough. Yeah. Was this a – that sounds like a short trip. I thought he just got down there. He got down there Sunday, Sunday to Thursday. Okay.

Quick grind. Also, the days have just passed quicker than I'm realizing, I think. Yeah. It's a decent little trip. Do vacations feel longer when you're on them than like a normal work week, or do they go by faster? I feel like they feel longer to me because I have nothing to do all day, which is a good thing. I think faster.

It's hard to say. You know, because time flies when you're having fun. I agree. Especially when I'm on island time. We're doing Patreon later today. Circling Bachelorette. Shouts to Michelle.

You guys hear about this Mizzen and Main company? I've heard of them. They're back. They've done something that I didn't know could even be done until I found out about

Mizzen and Main, and they made a shirt that I will not sweat through. That's impressive, as I've seen you sweat through some shirts in your day. There's a lot of times when I'm sitting at a wedding in Texas, when I'm kind of just out with the guys, and I just start sweating and I get wildly uncomfortable. And don't you just feel like you're never excited about wearing a dress shirt these days? I don't get excited because I know I'm going to sweat through it, but my dress shirts are always stiff. They make me sweat.

They wrinkle easily. I used to dread wearing a dress shirt to record this podcast or be on camera, but not anymore, Dave. No. Now that we got the Mizzen and Mane sponsorship, I think I'm going to start dressing up more. Yeah, they sent us polos recently, and those polos are some of my favorites. They fit very well.

I knew about the button-downs. I feel like we've been wearing the button-downs for a while. It's just nice to put a suit jacket or a blazer over a shirt that's a tech material. It breathes well. Yeah, I could actually wear a button-down shirt that I'm tech material. Yeah. It breathes well. Yeah. I can actually wear a button-down shirt that I'm not going to ruin night one to a wedding in Texas. And that's why you got to go check out Mizzen and Main. They combine the comfort and flexibility of your favorite athletic wear with the fit and

style of a custom dress shirt. Lightweight, breathable, moisture-wicking, this bad boy will have you looking great. You can also skip the dry cleaner because their shirts are machine washable, so you can skip those trips to the dry cleaner. Think about all the time and money that you save, Dave. You're literally profiting by getting one of these shirts. You really are if you think about it. The dry cleaner, it's a pain.

It's gotten out of hand, too. You've got to go get it after 5. It's ridiculous. These prices that they're charging. They're very expensive. Ridiculous. Very expensive. And you're hanging it in the back and you want your window down because you don't want to breathe in the fumes.

Plus, guys are low-maintenance washers for the most part. Sure. You know, I'll explain like the hoops that I jump through to wash and dry my clothes. It's too much. Nobody's going to do that. You just want to be able to toss that thing in and keep it moving. Yeah. He gets it.

Yeah. They may have gotten famous for their dress shirts, but Mizunin may now make some incredibly comfortable flannels. Some may call them shackets, depending on how they look. They also have no-tuck shirts, a little more casual, polos, chinos, so much more in their performance fabrics with modern tailoring.

And that's big. We need a modern fit because we're modern men. I used to put on whatever dress shirt came up next to my rotation until I found Mizzen and Main. And now I'm just profiting, like I said. So whether you're updating your wardrobe to head back to the office or just looking for a new fall flannel, we've got good news for you.

Let's take a trip to Spain. I'd love to. This is one of the better headlines that's popped on the TL lately. España. That's what they call it over there. That's how I say it, yeah. King Juan Carlos of Spain was, quote, injected with female hormones, end quote,

as his, quote, sex drive was a danger to the state, end quote. Was he just, like, trying to hook up with the state the entire time? This guy could not stop hitting on the state. He was an enemy of the state. He's the dude behind the tree just looking at the state. This is the opposite of getting T therapy?

It sounds like it, basically. What's the female hormone, estrogen? Estrogen. He got E therapy. He got E therapy. Which, this is really embarrassing. I don't know. Our source here.

Now, this has been reported by a number of outlets, but the one we chose to use to reference is royalcentral.co.uk, which is essentially a royal family gossip site. It's my new homepage. I don't know how we have not been directed to this page prior to this story. Dude, this website is my dream it gets to report on all the bougie dumb shit that the royal family does but it also gives me all the latest updates on prince andrew and his miserable ass uh yeah um spanish secret service was injecting him because his sex drive was a danger to the state um jose manuel via via reo a former police commissioner is on trial for blackmail and corruption and made the allegation during a hearing.

So this guy's telling. This guy, he's a bird singing. He's a whistleblower. A real whistle, yes. Yeah. He might just be saving his ass. Why would, this guy is a king, you said? An exiled king.

An exiled king. Not only exiled, disgraced. Okay. Why would he agree to this? He didn't. Oh, the hormone. I don't know. You got to think of the...

Isn't there an easier way? He was acknowledging that his sex drive was just far outpacing that of any modern man, as we said. Modern men is what this podcast is all about. So we want to be modern men. Modern men wearing a Muslim mane. With modern sex drives, not overly modern. I don't want to be... You have to be appropriately horny these days.

Yeah. This says Spanish news media speculated about the king's future in early 2014 following public criticism over his taking an elephant hunting safari in Botswana and an embezzlement scandal involving his daughter, Christina and her husband with it, which is a name I will not even try to touch the King's chief of staff denied

in a briefing that abdication option was being considered, but it looks like he ended up just abdicating. This type of, this type of thing could have helped Tiger Woods out back in the day. You know, this is like the, this is is the i'm going to rehab um of of sex drives just getting pumped full of estrogen yeah um is there not a way to like slip something like what's something that keeps the urges down there's an old simpsons ned flanders joke like corn starch keeps the urges down could Could they just start feeding him meals that are just absolutely going to tank his tea? Like just be like, hey, man, we did the fried chicken again.

Fried foods or greasy foods, I think those tank your testosterone. Does that tank your tea? Allegedly. If you read enough Men's Health, it'll tell you so. Okay. I don't know. This is sad. I would like to hear this man's side of the story i

want to this dude was just getting you know the the term honeypot honeypot sting um a lot of people speculate that's that was kind of what uh epstein's deal was where you're setting up these elaborate these trysts the only reason i know the word i i feel that I feel the all-time classic film starring James Franco and Seth Rogen about North Korea. The interview? The interview. Thank you. Thank you. They talk about honeypotting in that, I think. sends an asset, a female, for example, a very good-looking one, and sets up a prime minister from country B who may be running around on his wife

or doing something he shouldn't be doing, and they get evidence of it, video, whatever, and then they use it to blackmail that person to get them to do whatever they want them to do on a global stage. A bit of entrapment, you might say. Correct. Yeah. Shout out Catherinement, you might say. Correct. Yeah.

Yeah. Shout out Catherine Zeta-Jones. Yes. Ooh, the laser scene. And R.I.P. Sean Connery. Do we want to go further into Epstein's stuff? Michael Douglas still alive? Yeah, I think he is.

Michael Douglas is alive, yeah. They've been married. Now, there's a Hollywood relationship for you that's just still kicking. Yeah. He's underrated, I think. Michael Douglas? Yeah. I feel likerated, I think. Michael Douglas? Yeah. I feel like he can command a room if he wants to.

He's been in some real shit films, though. But I feel like I enjoy him. I don't like that he keeps stealing nominations from better, funnier actors on the freaking Kominsky method. Yeah. I tried watching that, which seems like a show that should be very up my alley. And I decided to try watching it. And I was like, eh, kind of bored right now.

Maybe I just didn't give it enough of a chance. Are you a Grayson Frankie? No. My mom is. You want to talk to her about it? Is that like Rick and Morty? Very similar. Very similar.

Go ahead. I've been shouting from the rooftops about Only Murders in the Building on Hulu. And Randy absolutely derailed me. He just swatted me out the gym the other day. I felt bad for you. Yeah, Randy said he got through four episodes and he's not going to keep watching because it's quote-unquote boring.

He goes, nothing happens. It's like, okay. I think that I'm just too old for Randy's TV taste at this point. Yeah, I mean, look, at this Halloween party that we were at this past weekend, at least Randy knew what a screen projector was.

Do you remember these things in school where they put the clear sheet down on the thing and you could do like Sharpie on it and then it was all projected? Absolutely. Right. Randy knew what one of those was, even though he said they were phasing them out when he was in high school. Cool Adam, intern Cool Adam, literally I was telling him about a spacecraft that he'd never seen before with the screen projector. He'll never know how cool it was when they needed to wipe it off, and they sprayed it with the liquid. And then they did the wipe, but there were still bubbles. Yeah.

And the bubbles would show up on the projector, and it was like you were looking through a microscope. Dude, it was like the middle school version of being at a Dead concert. Pretty much. It was sick. Pretty much. But yeah, I can see how the youngs, how the youths, would not be able to appreciate the finely tuned comedy of Martin Short and Steve Martin. It's great.

Have you been watching? Yeah, I'm finished. Martin Short and Steve Martin. It's great. Have you been watching? Yeah, I'm finished. And I will say that I didn't love the first couple of episodes. It took some time to pick up.

And then when Martin Short and Steve Martin really get humming on it. They got humming. It's great because they are. That's two of the three amigos, man. So that is where we're going to lose a guy like Randy. Randy is not in the demographic that understands a Steve Martin. Yeah. the three amigos man so that is where we're gonna lose a guy like randy randy is um not randy is not in the demographic that understands a steve martin yeah that flavor of comedy that's that's that's parent comedy like my our dad's comedy that you know we've we grew up and we probably liked a little bit of it steve martin's got some greatness um martin short i guess as well

i might i might get in trouble for what I'm about to say, but Sally's aunt dated Steve Martin for a little bit, like way back in the day. Nice. And her father went over to go see Sally's aunt. And he went over to the house, and Steve Martin was there. And he walked in after... I think they had given him information on how to get in the house and whatever. And he walked in, and he thought that Sally's dad was robbing the house and he got all scared and put his hands up. Like, nope, take everything.

Take everything. Wow. Not an alpha. Apparently not. He didn't pull out his banjo. He is a great bluegrass musician. He is a great bluegrass musician. Very proficient player.

I think he's better. I've said this before. I think he's a better musician than he is comedian. And that's not slighting his comedy career. He rips. Father of the Bride's a great movie. Father of the Bride 2's a great movie. It's a great sequel. One of the better sequels.

But yeah, yeah, Only Murder's in the Building. I don't think it's for anybody under 30, pretty much. Yeah, like the fact that my mom was like super high on it. I was like, oh yeah, this probably does skew a little older. It got me back in on Martin Short though. I don't think I've enjoyed him so much since Father of the Bride Part 2.

So Martin Short, like the funniest he has ever been is on Arrested Development. He's in like two episodes. Yes. He's like an uncle that's not actually an uncle to the Bluth family that has like given them money over the course of the years. And in his like three episode arc or two episode arc, he can't use his legs. He's like 90 years old. And he has like a giant bodyguard person that is carrying him,

dragging him everywhere. And it is, um, I mean, it's his best performance for, for me personally. But if you Google Martin Short, people also ask, whatever happened to Martin Short?

Who are Martin Short's friends? Is Martin Short Catholic? These are the questions that people are asking. Yeah, those are the obvious questions. I've often wondered, is he Catholic? I hope that if someone ever Googles me, that the whatever happened to Will DeFreeze does not come up. How'd you feel about Selena Gomez

in it? As I said to Sally numerous times throughout the series, I don't understand how she got connected with those two. When did she link and build with Steve Martin and Martin Short? I don't know why. I think of Steve Martin as the person who acquired her for this show, but she's an executive producer.

They gave her full everything. She is tied in to the creation and executive producing of it, and I'm not sure how that happened either. Where'd that come from? But I thought, I think she figured it out also halfway through the season. But is she a good actor? That's a valid question. I don't know.

That's a valid question. I should watch this because I's a good question. Yeah. I should watch this because I am a noted Selena Gomez fan. Some might say Stan. Grand Prairie Gopher. Is that the Dallas connection? Yeah, and I just... Greater Dallas area?

DFW? That's a lot of it, but she just has like a... She is a huge mega pop star, but it doesn't feel like she's in the headlines a lot. I feel like people forget about her, which may go against her. People also forget that she dated The Weeknd for like two years. And Justin Bieber, right?

Yes. Yeah. That's why, yeah. The Bieber is the, damn, i totally forgot about that while i was watching the show you know what happened right she couldn't keep her hands to herself really sounds like that's what king juan carlos of spain had an issue with too this fucking guy clean it up coach look at that we fucking circled back on that one way back this this episode and circling back um she's good she's had a couple songs of the summer yeah

yeah I like I think I like her music better than I like her performance on on on screen

also she is a what is her her charity she has she suffers from is it lupus lupus she's a big proponent

of of that so we this is a big charitable episode so we're just gonna shout out anybody who's ever given anything to charity.

So Barrett, what's, what are you donating to currently? Um, citizens for animal protection. Very cool. Based in Houston. That's great.

Um, but the real question is where do you stand on prop a? No, I'm kidding. Yeah. Let's do a prop a breakdown. You can drive by my house and find out. Oh,

I like that. I know I would be donating more, but all my money's currently tied up in cryptocurrency. You guys drive by my house and find out. Oh, I like that. I would be donating more, but all my money's currently tied up in cryptocurrency. You guys hear about these cryptocurrencies?

You guys ever been to Six Flags?

Season pass like every summer from like 95 to 2001. For real? Same. I was not expecting that. It was like 75 bucks, and your parents would just drop you off, you and the boys, and come back and get you six hours later. This is my exact same experience. And we would walk around, thought we were cool, cause you mischief.

Yeah, yeah. Raising hell. Good times. Maybe sheepishly holler at a lady or two just not yeah just not scoring chicks just bombing i i've never been to a six flags i'm a cedar point guy that's where we went that was the closest large amusement park for us i would go to a six flags i will say after going to f1 the other day though though, they had a bunch of rides and it made me never want to get on a ride again.

There was a ride going around on the web. Did you see this one? The one in Germany that looks like it's out of Dune and just tossing you around like a washing machine sock. Like a sock in a washing machine is what I meant to say there. The one that they had

at F1 was the one that was like a giant pole that just spins, and then there's people suspended on either end of it. It's the meat spin. Dude, it looked so violent when people were in the air. And at one point, I don't know if they got stuck or if they were loading someone into the bottom one, but there were people at the top that were sitting there for like 10 minutes. There was a loading phase. If I'm there and I'm just like upside down,

I'm very upset about this. Is this podcast sponsored by Meatspin.com? Well, we're going to get there. Yeah, we're trying to acquire the domain. If you're my mom, please don't do that. Please don't type that in. Well, there's a dude who apparently has been eating every meal at Six Flags

for like six years now. That can't be real. Mel Magazine spoke to 33-year-old electrical engineer who spent $150 a year to eat all of his meals at Six Flags. I'm reading this from this article from thetakeout.com. Back in 2014, $150 got him a year-long membership to Six Flags Magic Mountain that included unlimited roller coaster access, free parking, and two free meals a day. He kept it up for the next six years and ate an estimated 2,000 meals at the park, essentially spending 50 cents per meal. And through his savings on food over those years, he was able to pay down his student loans, get married, and buy a house.

They got to do a movie on this guy. Dude, they absolutely – I would watch this movie. It's just him. And did you get to, are we looking at the same article? There's one where he goes through some of the foods and I guess they've diversified their menu. Which Six Flags was this by the way? Magic Mountain?

It's in California, right? This is Six Flags Magic Mountain I've never been to, but the name made me as a kid be like, I've got to go to that. Yeah, Valencia, California. I've only done Six Flags in Arlington and in Fiesta, Texas, which became Six Flags. I don't know how that acquisition worked, but. This California was the obvious place for this to happen because you couldn't go to

like Astroworld or Fiesta, Texas, or Six Flags over Texas every single day for all your meals, like in the months of July through September. You'd die. Yeah. It would be terrible. The worst. I mean, some of the food that he puts on here is interesting, to say the least. The Thanksgiving dog is something that I don't really know if I ever want to try.

Are you familiar with the Thanksgiving dog? Oh, God. That looks so revolting. This guy loved it, though though it's a turkey dog topped with cranberry sauce stuffing and a slathering of mayonnaise pass i don't need man i don't need mayonnaise on top of my dog i'm sure it's good because it's like it's just playing on thanksgiving obviously but like i have no desire to do that how much cold stone did this guy eat i'm happy for this'm happy for this guy to get his student loans paid down and all because of this.

But did he get – I hope he got his cholesterol checked out afterwards as well. That's the thing. I hope he got a yearly pass to his doctor. It's just a short-term – great move short-term. You're saving money. You paid off the loans. As far as health care down the road. Yeah.

If someone offered you at the age of 23, if someone offered you to eat every meal at Six Flags to pay off your student loans in six years, is that an offer that entertains people? No. That would be, I think I'd rather just pay off the loans and be able to eat whatever I wanted. He went as far to say that he got really tired of eating chicken balls.

Are you guys familiar with the chicken balls that they have at Six Flags? No, I love my chicken balls. Do you eat them on Friday night? What, Randy? Randy's like, don't joke around about Zac Brown, man. They're legitimate. CBB? Dude, they're good.

A lot of people like them. You know, it's fine. I went through a phase, but now hearing it takes me back to a time when I'm like over it. I'm like, nah. I've been at my parents' house, and he's been floating around on a raft in the pool listening to, what's the, Toes in the Water, Ass in the Sand? Yeah, it's the Jimmy Buffett collab. I guarantee your dad found out about it through Jimmy Buffett, which I like. Very likely.

Probably on like a trial version of Pandora Radio. Your dad's just floating around with like a bunch of of Pandora Radio. Your dad's just floating around with a bunch of Taco Bell ads blasting. Sometimes you gotta live Moss. Did you see everybody in America got a free taco last night? Yeah, yeah. Stolen base. It was, you know, they knew

that that guy, who was that, Solar? No, Solar was batting leadoff. Albies. They knew he was gonna steal. He got on first. They were like, here we go. And they started putting up the infographics, you know, steal a base, steal a taco. So is that taco today?

Do I need to claim taco today? Hard to say. Is it the next day that you claim taco? Dude, they've been running this deal for a long time. They have, yeah. Because I remember when the Tigers were in the world series two out of three years like that was definitely a deal and that's when that's when i started saying sometimes you gotta live moss in the joe buck accent is it really even accent or just monotonous i like times you gotta live moss oh man did you see that snl sketch they did it's just joe buck doing like absurd like

friday night tv reads in between play by play it's pretty good yeah no i somehow didn't see this i think i saw that one my hey well we get to we're gonna talk we can talk world series later i don't hear let's talk now i wanted to ask barrett and you fam or i think i know where you stand but where do you stand on joe buck because uh i'm in a group text with some guys you know, all Astros fans, and they fucking hate Joe Buck. Yeah, I don't have as visceral a reaction to him as some of those guys do, but he, especially because I think that everybody listening to Joe Buck thinks that he hates their team.

That's what I believe, and I used to be one of those people. Honestly, he did seem to be, especially in the Red Sox series, and I don't know if he has any affiliation with Boston or the Northeast like that. His dad was, I believe, the Cardinals, play-by-play, legendary guy. So the Cardinals is what people think, and that's why I hated him because of the Cardinals series. There were just some moments where his voice just had this tone in it

where he sounded very, very upset that the Red Sox were losing and the Astros were winning. But like I said, I think everybody gets that. Honestly, the worst thing was two years ago in the Nationals World Series. And that was the second World Series that we appeared in. This is the third in five years that we've been in. So this was the second one out of the three in five years. Okay. And he just would not stop talking about Juan Soto being 21.

People still make jokes about this on Twitter. Like he must have said, he must have talked about Juan Soto being 21 years old like a thousand times over the course of seven games. Well, here's a theory about why people hate Joe Buck. Joe Buck only does big games at this point. And so if you're watching and you have an investment in one of those teams and it goes south for you, which there's obviously around a 50% chance, you're going to naturally start hating the guy who's like dry, whatever, and your team is losing, and he's talking about how your team is losing.

Because I'm sure that during the Tigers runs, I absolutely hated him. But then when he started doing the U.S. Open for Fox, I was like, dude, I'm a Joe Buck guy right now. I loved him. And, I mean, you know, I think everybody gravitates towards Romo and Nance that do it together on CBS. Yeah. But I like –

They're not – they don't have anything on Buck and Aikman. I like Buck and Aikman, man. I think they're the gold standard for me. So, yeah, I don't have anything on Buck and Aikman. I like Buck and Aikman, man. I think they're the gold standard for me. So, yeah, I don't hate Joe Buck. I'm just mad that we don't have Witten and Booger on a crew anymore. On Monday Night Football. Dude, some of y'all have been watching the Manning cast. I know I'm going into too much dip here.

No, no, it's okay. This is – it is going to take over the regular Monday Night Football feed. Good. So I did not watch it. It's becoming more and more popular every week they do it, and it is awesome. The Cowboys have had one Monday Night Football game. I did not watch that game with the – on the Manning cast because it just – if you're actually focusing on the game, you know, the screen's smaller,

and sometimes they're interviewing like Marshawn or whatever, whoever. But I've watched nearly every one that they've done outside of that uh and they're all gold uh and i and i have someone who's been very skeptical of payton payton's uh chops as a comedian as a funny guy yeah i was like oh cool he's like a football he's quarterback funny you know he's he knows like he can reference tommy boy if he has to and that makes him funny right um but he's actually good dude he's reference Tommy boy if he has to. And that makes him funny. Right. Um, but he's actually good, dude.

He's quite entertaining, especially when he gets very like agitated over something. He'll go on some rants. Yeah. And that's what I like about it. Yeah. They let them have, I mean,

speaking of like the biases and the, like when you're Joe Buck, you have, you have to tow the line. You have to be like a centrist about the game essentially. But like the Mannings can throw their hands up and say that that was a shitty throw and like that they've got more questioning coaches freedom to to do that type of stuff and then they get they've got tom brady on who's literally playing the saints next week and brady's sitting there talking about like he's like oh yeah that's Bradley Roby I've been watching

tape on him he likes to do this this and this and it's just like incredible insight and amazing guests and they're just like breaking they had Drew Brees on in the fourth quarter was the quarterback of the Saints last year I think I'm in if it's not my team playing which as a Lions fan not a lot

of worries on that front that might be an interesting one to watch. If you're invested in the play-by-play, then it might not be as entertaining. But for just your run-of-the-mill Monday night where you're just like two teams

that maybe you're not that interested in. I'd much rather watch Peyton and Eli. What is the value on one Taco Bell crispy taco? What are they giving away? Like 59 cents? I think like $1.29 probably. Really?

Inflation, man. Hyperinflation, man. Yeah. Stagflation. I think one year it was a Doritos taco loco, though. Now, that's a game changer. You can't be doing that. You can't give those away every year. That's going to tank the entire company.

What are they giving away, Dave? A crunchy taco? I believe it's just one crunchy taco $1.19 a piece Okay A $1.19 value Do you think they'll let you pay The extra 50 cents

For a crunchy taco supreme So you can get some Sour cream up on the bitch? Ooh I don't think you want The Taco Bell sour cream Just squeeze it out of the I hate it when they have the

Like I don't think This is a Taco Bell thing But just in general Like at school When it'd be like nacho day And the sour cream. I don't think this is a Taco Bell thing, but just in general, at school, when it would be nacho day, and the sour cream that you could use came out of a cardboard container, and you'd be sliding your fingers down it. That I've never been okay with. The only thing that I long for from my elementary school cafeteria days

is the tiny cup of Blue Bell ice cream with the wooden, not a spoon, just like a flat wooden stick. A shovel. But it didn't even have a scooping feature. It was just, here's this stick. But it was great. You have to eat quick or else it's going to melt and you can't keep it on the paddle.

Was Blue Bell the thing up there? No, I had no clue. No, it's very much just a Texas. Maybe, I don't know if Texas, like I'm sure Oklahoma and other neighboring states are very familiar with Blue Bell, but I had no clue what Blue Bell was. I honestly, I think it's fine ice cream, but I don't understand why people are so obsessed with it versus other ice creams. Because we're Texas and we're the best. I'm a Ben and Jerry's boy.

Because we're Texas and we're the best. I'm a Ben and Jerry's boy. Shouts to their half-baked. My upbringing wouldn't allow me to eat Ben and Jerry's. Political differences? Yeah. No, I'm just kidding. I didn't even know what it was until college probably.

Then I got experimental. Just mixing up my ice creams. Yeah. Got into a real big gelato phase. You really did. Really did. Dude. Got into a real big gelato phase. You really did. Really did. Dude, that's a stop down for me. I've even mixed gelato with Dippin' Dots.

You are a savage. Yeah, nobody's doing that. Speaking of Six Flags, that Dippin' Dots stand at Six Flags was a problem. Just take my money. Did you just circle back? I did. Fuck. You a rainbow ice guy? Love the rainbow ice.

Yeah. Cookies and cream? I think that ice. Yeah. Cookies and cream? I think that's where I... Cookies and cream is good. That's where my preference... I was more of a peaches and cream guy, too. Is rainbow ice a flavor? Yeah.

Shouts to 112. Yeah. Is rainbow ice a flavor? Yeah. Of Bluebell? No, of Dippin' Dots. Oh. It's the ice cream of the future.

I've never had Dippin' Dots before. Wow. Yeah. That's an admission. Rainbow ice is the... It's the sorbet option for Dippin' Dots before. Wow. Yeah, that's an admission. Rainbow Ice is the sorbet option for Dippin' Dots. Okay, I'm looking at it now. I don't understand how Dippin' Dots works.

I'm looking at this and it just looks like a ball. It's like little mini balls. Yeah, I don't get it. Is it good? What, have you never had Dippin' Dots? No. You've never had the ice cream of the future? I grew up in a place that had very small, down-home, whatever.

Like homemade, good-quality ice cream. Yeah, but I feel like a Tigers game probably had a Dippin' Dots stand in 1999. You're right. You're probably right. I don't think I went for that kind of thing. I also didn't go to that many Tigers games and stuff. Well, we were talking about the World Series. Do we want to confirm what Bryan Cranston did?

He's a big Astros guy, apparently. How does that make you feel? How big of a astros guy he is yeah just loves the team dude we're just taking up free real estate in his head man and i'm i'm i'm relatively shocked by it but this is the this is to be completely honest i feel very vindicated uh now because i've one of my biggest tv hot takes has always been that Breaking Bad is mid oh come on come on we don't have to do that yes yeah yeah you can I you can pull the tape I've I've always said that and now I now I'm just I hope now it's confirmed I hope noted New York Times best-selling author W.R. Bowen does not let you get away with that on OCC he can't Ross loved Breaking Bad uh here's what Brian Cranston posted on Instagram.

At Brian Cranston. Verified. I've got some thoughts to share on this eve of the World Series. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, so I've loved the Dodgers all my life. By extension, I've hated the rival San Francisco Giants and their success against us, but I've never disrespected them. Okay, great. That's not the case with the Astros.

He added the Astros, by the way. They've been exposed as cheaters, not in a good old-fashioned baseball way, but in a calculated, devious use of technology in a trash can way. The kicker is that they were already a very talented team. This is true. They sullied the reputation of baseball, their fans, and themselves out of pure ego. They disrespected the game, and that is why they are universally disrespected and despised by nearly everyone who loves baseball, including me.

Their duplicity was met with finger-waving admonishment as their punishment. The commissioner's failure to protect the integrity of the game was a disappointment. So maybe the baseball writers can administer justice to these cheaters by remembering them years from now that several great players are hoping to enter the hall correa altuve bregman etc all have a good shot at being elected to the hall of infamy i hope they make it go braves yeah brian that that's that's insane why are Why are baseball fans so fucking obsessed with the integrity of the game? Of which there's never been any integrity. Yes. It's the most cheating heavy sport ever to exist. And just the fact that he even shouts out to baseball writers of America who

are universally hated by anybody that wants baseball to succeed in the future because of. Because of their refusal to do things like let Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, and Pete Rose into the hall of fame, all of who belong there. Like they're the most stuffy old head bunch of like farts that exist on the sports media landscape. And this is just like, dude,

it's just a refusal to acknowledge things like the red socks using iWatches to do to cheating or the fact that multiple players have come out after this and been like yeah there were other teams trying to pull off stuff like this as well the Astros just the Astros just got caught that's it that's it and I'm like sounds like propaganda who are you guys supporting in this year's World Series uh I am riding with the Braves. Maybe incorrectly. It could still happen, but I predicted Astros in five. And I was telling Ross, it's the devil I know because I've watched more.

They're in the Rangers division. I know more about their team. My friends are Astros fans, so I just know how good they are. Anybody who casually watches baseball knows how sick their lineup is. And the Braves i was just like okay that's they're a great story they're a hot team they got to the world series um but boy they came out they came out swinging last night guys sure did free tacos i just hope everyone has a good time yeah thank you yeah i'll also just i'll cap it off by saying if i wasn't an astros, I'm sure I would also hate the Astros. But like, I respect the shit out of the New England Patriots because they were so good for so long.

And they're the most notorious cheaters of all in the NFL. Bill Billy cheat. Like they were always bending the rules and looking for an edge and like deflating balls or recording practices or doing a bunch of, you know, hood rat shit. And nobody, we don't ever talk about that. The recording of practices is just absurd. I always forget about that. Deflategate is what you, it always comes to mind. But then you're like, oh, wait, yeah, they were recording practices.

That is so insane. I wish that somebody in the Tigers organization had been just handing out steroids at one point during their run. The Rangers were. Had they actually, like, I mean, I wish they would have won by cheating because at least we would have won. But now I have to look at this team that was so good for so long and just know that we never actually made it to the top. Tell me about it. I'd rather make it to the top cheating than not make it to the top in terms of baseball that I have no actual – my hands are not actually in.

That was one of the old batting coaches for the Rangers was alleged to have – this is pre the World Series teams. This is like their 2000 through like 2007 hitting coach was – a lot of people were like, oh, this guy was – like everybody was using back then. And this is like in the a-rod years too so it probably checks out too much dip check it out too much dip you know what everyone should be using in addition to steroids uh female hormones no i'm gonna say bowling branch sheets there are so many everyday essentials that we have as people that you know we don't really think about it's worth giving you know it's worth giving more consideration to some nice sheets david you

Man, I did not know We were going to get about Or get today What we got today

But we got Tiger King 2 trailer out This was a surprise I have kind of blocked out Tiger King You know I know that they're going to make a movie A major motion picture Which I said I'm on the record saying

We don't need this Hold on They're making a film about this? Yeah, because there was a whole thing on who were they going to cast, and they didn't cast David Spade to be Joe Exotic. I can't remember who they cast. Did they cast Nicolas Cage? They also are maybe competing films or series about this?

That's correct. Nicolas Cage won't be Joe Exotic. He will not be Joe Exotic. Okay. Oh, did Amazon – they dropped the project. This is upsetting. Good. Good. not be Joe Exotic. Okay. Oh, did Amazon, they dropped the project. This is upsetting. Good. Good.

We don't need it. Yeah. You don't want Nick Cage. You're right. Okay. I know we don't need a Tiger King movie, but I could do a Tiger King Nick Cage movie. Not the base. Not the base.

Did you watch Pig? I've not seen Pig. No. It's a good movie. Should I get that for my flight this weekend? Nope. Not a movie you watch on your way to vacation. Noted.

Does it star Nicolas Cage? Yeah. Are you aware of what this movie is about? It's a great performance. No. He's one of those dudes in... Is he in France, David? No.

Oh. No, he is in the United States. He is a truffle farmer, meaning he doesn't is in the united states he is a truffle farmer uh uh meaning he doesn't actually grow them but he has a truffle pig yeah that he goes out and finds truffle and sells it to a guy and they bring it into town sell to restaurants and then somebody kidnaps his pig so the entire movie is about him finding this pig and maybe finding himself along the way wow but does he go so they basically stole the plot of john wick then um it's it's you're right but it's not but he's not going on like a

murderous rampage it is john it is john wick uh sans violence which probably eliminates a big portion of our audience from checking this movie out but it is a great performance from nicholas cage i will say dude and i fancy myself a big fan of cinema. At the end, does he say, that'll do, pig? No, he doesn't. He doesn't say, that'll do, pig. We had Tiger King 2. That guy is Uncle Ewan in Succession.

Oh. Or Ethan, as some say. Yeah, Brett went about four minutes saying it was Ethan. Yeah, we're not allowed to talk about Succession, though, because people get mad that we're not accurate about the inner workings. Oh, true. Are you a fan of Succession? Yeah, I am.

And I heard you guys talk about my tweet. Dave did an impression of me. Oh, I did. I wasn't sure how I felt about it. What was I doing? What was I doing? I felt about it. Was that Dylan?

I just didn't realize that I sounded, that I'm such a monotone guy. No, you're not. There's some, I added to it. I'm more monotone than you. No, I am a succession, I'm a succession fan. It's the sharpest, I'm not going to get the adjective right.

It's the most well-written show on television by like a long shot right now. And it's super fun to have something that everybody is watching every Sunday and then talking about it and podcasting about it and breaking down and doing the whole thing. But – I love that. I'm just concerned that if it's going to be a long-running show, like I'm talking like six-plus seasons, that the whole succession of it all, where the only thing that anybody is ever doing is sitting in a room

talking about who's going to succeed Logan and trying to get CEO, is going to, like, burn out. So what you're getting at is that you want Logan to die in real life so that we can get

another storyline for, like, the future seasons? Is he the voice of McDonald's? I wish Brian Cox nothing but the best. He won an Oscar, didn't's? I wish Brian Cox nothing but the best. He won an Oscar, didn't he? Sorry, not an Oscar, an Emmy. I think he was up for it at least.

Jeremy Strong won it. Oh, okay. And I think he beat Brian Cox for it. He is the voice of McDonald's. Oh, he is? Brian Cox. Is that why you've been going there so much lately? I've just lost the will to live.

Oh, okay. I've just been going there often. You know, you could go to Six Flags. It. I've just been going there often. But no, you know, you could go to Six Flags. It's an incredible show and like the performances and the writing are the best out there. So I think at this point

what I'm hoping for is like that this is four seasons, maybe five. Four would be great. You're right. Because like we're all, we were hurt by Game of Thrones.

Yeah. It hurt us. Probably some more than others. You were a big Game of Thrones guy. And, you know, I don't know if that maybe needed to be shorter or just better. It may be a different situation. I mean, ironically, longer really is what would have helped the most. That's a great point.

This needs to be longer than four seasons. Succession. Yeah. Because you want to keep coming back to the show would have helped the most. This needs to be longer than four seasons. Succession. Yeah. Because you want to keep coming back to the show because you like the show. Yeah. Yeah. But how many times can we have all the kids in the room talking about why one of them should be CEO and the other shouldn't? This is very fair.

Something does need to happen because it can't keep going. I said in the last episode, I don't want to see another scene of Kendall sitting in his ex-wife's house this season. I'm over that. I think we're out of it. Okay. I think we're probably out of ex-wife's house. For some reason, it's hilarious to me

because I'm wondering, all right, where's she? And also, how long is this going to go on? He's got his war room. He's turned it. It's just amazing. It's like he could find somewhere else. On the note of Tiger King 2. Yeah. Are you guys going to watch it? his war room he's turned it it's just amazing it's like he could find somewhere else on on the

note of tiger king 2 yeah are you guys going to watch it let's start with that yes okay because of this trailer if you had asked me before i saw the trailer i would say probably not i i don't think so what was tiger king 2 or was tiger king only so popular because it was the first bingeable thing we got during the pandemic yes Yes. It would have not have been as popular. And I think that's a fact, but I think we did. I don't think we overrate it because it was the, the characters that were introduced,

these real people like that. You're not getting that anywhere else. And we're maybe we're recapping that even if we're not in pandemic, I think. I don't know if i would have watched it had it not been for the pandemic but i think it was like oh this is super popular it looks ridiculous i've got the time i'm gonna watch it i probably would have watched it eventually but it might have been like a month or six weeks after it actually was on netflix yeah i'm trying to

think has in in pre-pandy times or since tiger king has there been a documentary that took hold like that? Where everybody was watching, everybody binged it. The Night Of? That's not a documentary. Not a documentary, though. I guess maybe something like Making a Murderer. That's what I was thinking of.

Is that the one? Didn't that dude just die or go to jail? Is that the Robert Durst? No, no, that's the Jinx. Oh, I'm watching this. The Jinx was another one, though, but that was like... You're thinking of Steve Avery. No, you should be thinking The Jinx. Oh, I'm watching this. The Jinx was another one, though, but that was like – You're thinking of Steve Avery.

No, you should be thinking of Steve Avery. Right. The Jinx came more in like a wave where it was like – and it was only four episodes. I think The Jinx got most popular after the final episode. Yeah. Like I don't think that many people were – I think people were watching it the first couple episodes, but like the final episode was like, holy shit, everyone needs to go watch this right now. Yeah.

Yeah, I don't – I just – I think it's rare for a documentary to like basically go squid game where everybody is binging this whole thing in a week and then talking about it. And then it's the costume of the year and then like it spawns all these characters and these spinoffs. So I think that's the part that is pandemic related is that everybody was down to do that for a documentary because there was nothing else to do. Elizabeth Holmes documentary, that wasn't nearly as popular as like that. But that's the only documentary I can think of or documentary style series that I can think of that like was popular. Well, Tiger King, you're getting the exploitation of like poor rural Oklahoma people. And Oklahoma, unless you're from the Midwest, Randy, you don't really know Oklahoma very well.

And, you know, it's a wild place. That stuff, I mean, like I was aware of the wild parks, like the wild game parks that were out there. I'd never been. But it looks like this next season, the trailer's very well done. It looks like they're going to really emphasize the glow up of the secondary characters, the jet ski guy, the Jeff Lowe's, the probably Carol Baskin. I got a question about that, actually. When Jeff in this trailer says that he has more money than God now.

There's no way. Do you think that's cap? I do. I believe he's no way. Do you think that's cap? I do. I believe he's capping. Correct. Yeah, I think he's capping as well. More money than God, first of all. Let's unpack that.

Yeah, chill out. Calm down. I just Googled most popular documentary series, and one came up that I think – everyone watched this when it was coming out during the pandemic, and it the last dance oh yeah that was appointment television for so everyone I knew was like oh you see like last dance was something that everyone did love here's a here's how I know he doesn't have more money than god I just googled Jeff Lowe net worth celebritynetworth.com I I well it's hard to find but I am one of the first things I'm being served is a news article, and it asks the question, will Jeff Lowe's sex tape boost his net worth?

Everything to know about this sex tape. I think we may see that. I think that's also in the trailer. It looks like they're about to film a sex tape in the trailer. Until God gets so thirsty that he makes a sex tape, I'm not going to say that Jeff Lowe has more money than God. Yeah. Yeah. It also, I don't know.

This is feeling very produced, if you will. Yeah, that's my concern. We're not going to get the raw stuff that we got out of just, like, them following around. Everybody knows, like, the character they're supposed to play based on season one. So it's like, oh, I'm a crazy jet ski guy who's, like, really into this one thing.

So, like, that's going to be, that's my personality now, and I'm going to take it up ten notches. We're going to dive into the whole disappearance of Carol Baskin's husband. That's the one thing I want to know more about. It looks like we've got some Narcos guys talking about running guns and living dangerously. Love some gun running. Let's talk about it. And then, of course, there's that big feint at the end where they're like, Joe Exotic is going to make a deal with the devil, and then they gleam across Carole Baskin's tiger earrings.

The one thing I want out of this series is for Carole Baskin to get taken down. I'm not a fan of her, and I want to know what happens. I'm not going to call her the B word, but, like, I do want her to not succeed in life. Well, I'm going devil's advocate here, then. I'm hoping for a redemption arc for Carole Baskins. No, come on. No one wants redemption for Carole Baskins. Are you a Narcos Mexico guy?

You know what? As a TV guy, I'll sit here and admit that I've never seen an episode of Narcos. It's great. Narcos Mexico is better than Narcos. I think it's next week Narcos Mexico season three comes out. It's the final blow, as they're calling it.

I think that's a cocaine reference. I think so too. Is that actually a subtitle of the series? It is. It feels slightly low-hanging for Netflix to go with that one. But especially in a series. I think it's like one of the most expensive series for Netflix to produce. They have a lot of very lavish settings and stuff. And I think I read somewhere that at one point it was their most expensive series before.

And then The Crown came in and was like, nah. I could see that. We got this. Yeah. I mean, and honestly, more location shooting on Narcos, I expect than on the crown. Yeah. So you actually, I'm glad you're here. Cause I have a question about this when it comes to filming in famous places or they're

supposed to be in famous places. Like does Hollywood have an oval office? That's just the setup that everyone goes and films in, or do they have to set up a new oval office every time they film? So same goes for like Buckingham Palace. Yeah, I think the answer is both. Because it depends on what studio you're shooting at. And you'll hear references to like,

oh yeah, that was on the Universal lot. Or that was on the Warner Brothers lot. And so if HBO Max is making a series that needs an Oval Office,, if HBO Max is making a series and then that needs an Oval Office and then Warner Brothers is making a film about the president or that has a president, like it's totally possible that that soundstage with the Oval Office like crosses over and they use it twice. Yeah. The other show I was going to bring up that's coming out this month that I'm almost positive you watched and enjoyed is, uh, and not this month, but next month.

Did I say that? The Great is returning for season two. I did not watch The Great. At the end of November. Okay. Amazing show. It was my favorite show of 2020. Well, the reason I wondered about that is because when I was watching, what's it?

What is it? The Monica Lewinsky thing. Oh, uh-huh. Yeah. When I was watching that, I couldn't stop thinking, like, okay, is this the same Oval Office that they used in, like, every other film that I've ever seen that requires an Oval Office? Yeah. It would just be annoying to tear that down and have to set it back up and do whatever. Yeah. Just go rent it from Warner Brothers over there.

Yeah. It's a good question. But what I was going to – you mentioned The Crown. And, like, there are some scenes in The Great where they have a great hall, essentially, in this gigantic Russian castle, essentially. And you can tell in a couple of scenes that it's the same hall that they use in the crown at one of the palaces. Okay. And then when you look that up, they're both shot at the same studio in London that have that as a soundstage. It's like this great hall.

So maybe it's decorated slightly differently, but like the bones are the same. You can kind of see it. That makes all the sense in the world. If you're, if you are a production company in England and you don't have like an entire Buckingham Palace or just Palace in general built out, I think you're missing out on a lot of money here. Probably so. Yeah.

Let's do this weekend in fun presented by Relief Band. You familiar with Relief Band, Barrett? I'm not. Tell me about it. Sometimes people struggle with nausea. I do. Whether it's on a shaky car ride. I've unfortunately in life started getting more seasick, which is not ideal.

I've been known to get carsick on short drives in the passenger seat. That's probably something I need. But when I'm hungover, that's when the nausea really kicks in. So whether you're feeling nauseous on your commute right now with all those trains, subways, bumper-to-bumper traffic, all that kind of stuff,

I've got good news for you. You've got to go check out ReliefBand. ReliefBand is the number one FDA-cleared anti-nausea wristband that has been clinically proven to quickly relieve and effectively prevent nausea and vomiting associated with motion sickness, anxiety, migraines, hangovers, morning sickness, chemotherapy, and so much more.

This product is 100% drug-free, non-drowsy, and provides all natural relief with zero side effects for as long as needed. I'll get to this more this weekend in fun, but I am going on vacation this weekend. And I will be bringing my relief band with me as I plan on eating a lot of various foods and drinking a lot of interesting drinks. Are you going to have a Miami Vice? I hope to have some version of one. Ultimate swim-up pool bar drink. I hope I can. How relief band works is that it stimulates a nerve in the wrist that travels to the part

of the brain that controls nausea, and then it blocks the signal to your brain that it's sending to your stomach telling you that you are sick. It's the only over-the-counter wearable device that has been used in hospitals and oncology clinics to treat nausea and vomiting. They just released their newest model, ReliefBand Sport. The Sport is waterproof, and it features interchangeable bands, as well as an extended battery life. So whether you have car sickness, seasickness, hangovers, anxiety, pregnancy,

whatever it could be, give ReliefBand a try. I can't tell you enough about the wonders of this product. It's great.

I don't really have much planned. The weather looks fantastic. Today is an all-time weather day. I think tomorrow is going to be even better. Maybe something outdoors. There is talk of potential golf Friday. I have not RSVP'd. We'll see.

Other than that, we've got Cowboys-Vikings. We'll have a Too Much Dip livestream tomorrow night, Thursday night, 630 Central Standard Time. Central, what is it? Are they playing Thursday? Yeah. No, no, no. It's not the Thursday night, 6.30 Central Standard Time. Central, what is it? Are they playing Thursday? Yeah. No, no, no. It's not the Thursday night. I'm sorry.

But we'll be doing a live stream going forward on the Watch Media YouTube channel. What's your mindset when your NFL team has the Thursday game? What's your mindset going into Sunday? What do you mean? Are you excited about it or are you just like, you know, you blew your wad on Thursday? If Lions ever have Thursday night or Monday night, I go into Sunday thinking, like, I'm breathing a sigh of relief.

I'm like, oh, I don't have to get keyed up over anything right now. That's fair. I don't like having the Sunday night game. The Sunday night game is too much anxiety. The Monday night game is different because you get to look forward to it all day and not have to worry about going home and being bored on Monday night. The Sunday night game, I want

to wind down at that point and I don't feel like being up until 11pm watching my team get their ass kicked. And you're just watching multiple games before leading up to it and then you're like you could be exhausted from that whether you dabble, you get your beak a little wet in the gambling,

big boy stacks. So yeah, no, I'm not a big fan of that. But yeah, I don't know, man. I don't have much planned. I'm hoping to have a good weekend at home, maybe get outdoors a little bit. Rhodes going trick-or-treating on Sunday. Oh, Sunday is Halloween.

Thank you for that reminder. We'll do something with Rhodes, yeah. Maybe pull him around in a little wagon in his little dog costume. Oh, he's got a dog costume. Yeah. You're just going up to the doors, you know, being like, oh, he likes the Snickers. He's a big Twix guy. Yeah, that'll be me.

Or if you're looking for the Charleston shoes. Got any peanut butter bars back there? Oh, I'll take the dots. Peanut butter bars. Which I'm sure are great. It's just I can't get past how generic and specific the name is. Will you be dressing up this weekend for anything?

Hard to say. If you do, will you be going with a costume you've already done? You've had to do like six costumes this year. Yeah. I think I will not be taking any more trips to Spirit, Halloween, or Lucy in Disguise on South Congress. Which, let me tell you, on Monday night, the week of Halloween, or I guess whatever, there is a line out the door. One in, one out. Yeah.

Pretty wild. It's a hot spot. Monday night at 730. It's a great costume store. Very good. It is the GOAT. If you are in Austin and you need a costume, it's not hot spot. Monday night at 7.30. It's a great costume store. Very good. It is the GOAT. If you are in Austin and you need a costume, it's not Spirit Halloween. These are like A+.

It's worth checking out, Lucy's, just no matter when you're here. If you're just traipsing around South Congress, you should walk in and see it. I agree. That's where I got my lobster costume last year. If you rent that lobster costume, just know I was the first one to ever wear it. Wow. So it's got your sweat embedded in it. Yep.

Yep. What's Bear getting into this weekend? Well, let's see. We'll have games three, four, and five of the World Series, which hopefully I'm tuning into all of them. Hopefully there is a game five on Sunday. Is it a 2-3-2? I know it's 2-3-2 in the

championship series. I think that's how it is in the World Series as well. Any chance you go to a game? I'm potentially looking for game six tickets right now. But it is a pretty pricey investment,

that one. You're always weighing. When we won in 17, I went to a game. So it panned out, right? And it was the five-and-a-half-hour game that went 15 innings or whatever. And so it was really, really an amazing experience. Always have it. But it's like if you go and you spend all that money

and then you don't win the World Series, you kind of feel like you wasted your money, and that sucks. I once went to a Red Wings playoff game, and it was 0-0 going into overtime, and we immediately lost in overtime. And I was like, cool. Just paid playoff prices to watch us not score once and lose devastatingly.

This is great. So we'll see. Got a little office Halloween party on Friday. Woo! You going as Jim? I'm not going as Jim. No, no.

Uh, I've got something cooking. No, got something cooking. I'm excited to see it. I was, we were, we gassed up,

uh, where's Waldo and Carmen San Diego. Yeah. That was a, that was the original impetus for discovering that, that a cool Adam didn't know what a screen projector was. Cause he had literally no idea what Carmen Sandiego was. He knew what Where's Waldo was, right?

It's hard to say. I used to get so excited when I'd get a new Where's Waldo book. Yeah. I used to sprint in the computer lab at our elementary school to make sure that I got the nice computer that had Carmen Sandiego on it because not all the computers in our lab could run Carmen Sandiego. No, you had to have some serious prowess in your hard drive. Yeah, everything else was on that Oregon Trail bullshit.

Shout out number munchers and super number munchers. A lot of people at the party did not know what that was, but that was a fun game. You're munching numbies? You're just munching numbers. It was educational and fun. That's where they intersected, Barrett. Ah, yeah, yeah.

The corner of education and fun. You are. I didn't play Barrett. Yeah, yeah. The corner of education and fun. You are. I didn't play number munchers, Dave. Yeah, this might be really good to me. You're munching on something. Okay. I was a big Mario teaches typing guy. You were a nummy muncher.

Okay, that was Dylan. He's not here to deny it either. That's why I'm such a fast typer. I was really into the speed typing games. Yeah, I liked the speed typing. Mavis Beacon. Shouts to Mavis Beacon I think I want to do a uh I want to do a words per minute contest at washed media but Dylan refuses to do it because he hunts and packs he literally said like no it's gonna be too embarrassing for me I can't do it I'm like no that is why it's a good

video he's probably 30 words a minute god it's pitiful. I think Halloween, I think, I think we'll set up shop out, out in the front to, I've, I've been hearing that this is a thing, eliminating the doorbell ringing and, uh, like that whole song and dance.

Have you heard about this? Yeah. A lot of people did that. People are like sitting outside with the can't like, you know, you get, make it a little bit more engaging, I think. Yeah. Like a little, like a driveway party. Yeah. Yeah. it a little bit more engaging, I think.

Yeah, like a driveway party. Yeah, yeah, and eliminate the whole having to go up to individual houses and see if somebody's home and do that whole thing. Getting the dogs all walled up. But yeah, no real plans, man. The city's still hard as ever to get a reservation in. I'm on the wait list every single night of the week, every month trying to get a reservation at this sushi bar thing.

Oh, yeah. Just like, cannot do it. It's impossible. Which one? It's called Sushi Bar. Oh. RIP Mako.

Yeah. Do you see Dan's story about Mako? I did. Made me laugh. Mainly because I knew going in that he definitely did that.

He definitely took every first date from 2014 to 2017 to Mako. Yeah, that was his move. Smart move. Yeah, cheap date. Fun time. Great atmosphere.

Yeah, nothing better. What do you got going? That's it, man. I'm officially going to be on Cabezo Watch as of 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. I'm heading to a little place north of Puerto Vallarta. I'm not familiar with this. I've only been to Puerto Vallarta once, never left the resort once, and I'm interested to see what it's like.

So I'm very excited about it, going with a couple other couples from northern Michigan. California. Beautiful. I will be playing pickleball, for those wondering. I did get a pickleball reservation at the resort, so I'm very excited about that. Very cool. I'm also doing a tequila tasting there. They're known for that.

Yeah, it was like, do you want to do a zip line or something active? I was like, no, can we just do a tequila tasting? That sounds fun. Yeah. A little worried about the weather, but it ended up getting sunny for Dylan down there, so I'm hoping that I can get some sun as well. I'm trying to come back tan, make you jealous. Please do. I believe in you. That's all I got. I will be some sun as well. I'm trying to come back tan, make you jealous. Please do.

I believe in you. That's all I got. I will be jealous. That's all I got. I will be missing Monday's episode, so to all those out there who hate me, congratulations. Let's hear from you. Sound off.

Yeah. Sound off in the comments, please. Oh, well, Barrett, thank you for joining. Yeah, Barrett, always great to have you. Thank you for having me. Thanks for letting me fill in. Always a pleasure to be here. What's next for Club Cool?

You know, I don't really know. We always talk about how we've done numerous fall dressing, really started dressing previews. All the while, it's been like 88. And finally, we're dipping below that age zero this week. When I released the New York in the Fall Sunday Scaries candle, people were like, it's still hot in New York. And I'm like, yeah, I can't let Mother Nature dictate

when I release this candle, unfortunately. So I'm going to release it now, and you can light it and pray for fall. Yeah, so I don't know. We might be going in the bag for listener questions or something this week. Stay tuned to at Club Cool Pod if you have a question. I'll throw up a little Q&A box. Add me on the group. Fantastic.

Yeah. Is that all she wrote? Yes, sir. Let's get out of here. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.

Bye. you
