All right, we're back circling back podcast, Wash Media headquarters, Austin, Texas. My name's Will. To my left, the D-Man. David Ruff. Hi, thank you for knowing that. Original D-Man, actually. I'm gonna take a page after the unoriginal D-Man's out of his book, The Post-Grad Problem, Kyle. Wow.

Reddit, subreddit, it's poppin'. It's been on fire lately. I wanted to read this. It's still alive? Oh, it's more alive than it's ever been, actually. So, people have found it who are not in any way aware of the former blog, Post Grad Problems, and they'll go in there and they'll post

their very real issues they're having. For example, user Peach Blossom B posted something, post grad cognitive slump fix. I only graduated in May, but I've definitely gotten dumber post grad. I'm trying to study for the LSAT. Does anyone have any recommendations to get back the mental sharpness and quickness

that I used to have? So obviously people sent her LSAT practice test. Some earnest study kits. Maybe some people who can train her. Or maybe just some words of encouragement, perhaps. You tell me if any of these are helpful. Top one, throw in a fat hooter. Yeah, honestly, that might actually help you study.

Yeah, for a lot of people, it helps you settle in. Right. Study in. Buy some land out Pecos Way. Okay,. Buy some Land Out Pekis Way. Okay, I don't know if that's gonna help. Especially post-grad when your finances are famously tight. Make sure that you're well hydrated and don't be a selfish teammate. Try taking some horse electrolytes. This is getting very specific.

Hydration is good. These are not the worst. Yeah, there could be worse tips. Horse electrolytes. It turns out there are a do a sidewalk slammer. Okay. And then the final one, get a Miata. Yeah, I don't know. I don't see how that. Yeah, that's not that's not super helpful. But some decent ones in there that might might help this person study. So I hope I hope that person finds some success with those responses. What's the mindset? I went to the channel and that's what they got.

Yeah. Like in just genuinely needed advice. I came to the wrong place. Well, real post-grad problems fans will know that that voice is none other than Kyle Banduho. Kyle, welcome to the program. Hey guys. What's up Kyle?

Good to be back after quite a long time. It's been a while. I haven't seen you guys in person in a couple of years. So it's been wonderful to be here. Thank you for inviting me to your lovely studio. You look the same as you did two years ago. That's how I try to keep it. I've got some grays coming in. We're just tight on the sides, but the grays are finally here. Welcome to the team, man. Good coverage. Yeah. I've started to get the... I've only found a couple in my hair,

but they're starting to sprout up in the chin of my beard. And I've been told not to pluck them because three more will grow back. Is there any? That's an old wives' tale. I mean, my wife, it's literally who told me that tale. I got them, I got chest. She's not that old though. She's younger.

You got the great chest hairs. I got about seven of them. They're awesome. Stop talking about my wife. You're just a little weird, dude. You're dynamic with her. Yeah. You calm down the mail.

A lot of people don't know that we canceled the mail-in because there was simply too much sexual chemistry. There was some palpable energy in the air when we were together in the mail. A lot of people don't know that we canceled the mail-in because there was simply too much sexual chemistry. There was some palpable energy in the air when we were together in the studio. If you're listening and you're the person who left the comment about the palpable sexual chemistry on the mail-in, we would love to cold call you on a future Patreon episode.

I'll put that out there right now. I wanna know what we were doing to give off that vibe. She laughed at your joke. You turned into a comedian. I am pretty funny. Can't make someone else's wife laugh. I'm a funny guy. That's rule number one.

I mean, you were in your absolute bag yesterday afternoon in the office. Dude, I was just, oh dude. If you said anything, Dylan would say, oh, I've got something for you. I went to the well quite a few times. Oh, I've got a laptop you can open right now. Yeah.

What? Yeah, I also shot a 3100 on golden tea yesterday. I sent you that video. I saw that, thank you. I might share you the video. I saw that. Thank you. I might share that. You go viral. 3100. Can I? Very good. Can you send it to me?

It's pretty impressive from the circling back Instagram page. You got to run it by him first. I'm not running anything by you. That's a 39, by the way. I shot a 39. I don't care. Dylan, if there was a Golden Tee President's Cup, you shot it on par 70. Would you be in line for the the Golden Key

Golden Tee President's cup team? I'm not quite at that level. I'm inconsistent. I'll have it around like I had yesterday. Then I'll shoot like 22. He's still kind of in the Caitlin Clark territory where it's like he doesn't, it's like there's an argument to be made,

but if he doesn't get put on the president's cup for golden teeth, as you described it, people are gonna be like, what are we doing here? Eyeballs, we're missing out on eyeballs, because this guy moves the needle. I need to get reps in. Probably a dog at match play too.

Golden Teeth match play. Oh yeah, for sure. If there was like a Golden Teeth, like scramble situation, I could really be of use there. That's where I draw the line. We don't need that. Are all Golden Teeth courses par 70? I don't need that. Are all Golden T courses par 70? I don't know.

Do you feel like shooting a 31 under on a par 70 is more or less difficult than? On a par 72? Yeah. Probably less difficult. I don't know. Actually, I really have no idea. I really have no idea. But 31 Under is considered like really, really good. Like really, really good.

What about the people out there who might be saying, yeah, but he didn't do it on the live stream. Like, did he actually do it? Can he do it under the lights? That's the question that I have even for myself. So I don't know. It's when the lights come on and the chat starts running, there's an added pressure. I feel it. People around you making jokes,

often at your expense. I get a little clammy in the palms, you know? It affects my stroke. Didn't you run into the freezer and get some ice? I did put my hand on the bag of ice to declam. I did put my hand on the bag of ice to declam. It didn't really help much. Declam also is nicknamed. Against the Golden Tee President's Cup team. If you get, if nervous under pressure, you're playing for national honor against other Golden Tee players.

I understand, man. It's tough. I have work to do. Hey, did you hear Dave? What'd he say? He said that declam was your nickname. Is there any truth to that? Back in the day. It was it was very brief I had it for like a couple months and I got rid of it. Yeah

Don't pearls come from clams Oysters, I believe oh, right. It's out there ordering clams in bulk true story. I still have that Pearl in my eyeball by the way, no, but really well, that's why I was wondering I didn't know if clams had pearls because like we could call you declam right now. Yeah, Brett's got a clam guy I want to get ahead of it. I Pretty much made fun of Dylan stye Numerous times even on the days. Yeah and

Unfortunately karma came for me last night where my 11 month old just straight poked me in the eye. Mm-hmm and Had to take a sleeping pill and go to bed early to keep that eye shut all night. I was trying to get some TV off just didn't work. I've never gotten poked that badly. It was the worst poke I've ever had. Do you think it was intentional? I don't think it was intentional. I haven't seen any outlandish behavior from him before this, but you can't discount it.

It was such a direct shot that you have to wonder if there was something behind that. He might have been Biden his time. Could have been something you did three months ago. No, we see we just switched his milk over and so now I'm worried that like he's like give me that old shit back. There it is. Yeah. You can't use his words yet so he's poking you. I don't want to bury the lead here. We're going to have Kyle on today's episode. Kyle's going to take a quick break for business. He does have a call about business at some point.

I do. But we're going to be talking more about his book and more about sports movies and things of that nature after. But Kyle, can you just do an absolutely shameless plug for your book right now? The most shameless plug. I wrote a book, an illustrated book, Movies with Balls, the greatest sports films

of all time, analyzed and illustrated. It's right here. It's also right behind you. It's also right there. Movies with Balls is essentially a love letter to 26 of the greatest fictional sports movies of all time. Me and my creative partner, Rick Bryson, broke down why we love 26 of these movies.

There's a bunch of cool visuals. I can say like all the art in the book slaps. I didn't have anything to do with it. Rick did all of it, so I feel very good about saying, you know, it slaps, but we broke down, you know, breakdowns of the individual games in these movies. So like we talked about dodgeball. We broke down the ADA championship between

Average Joe's and Globo Gym, we picked MVPs for each movie, we broke down is someone in this movie good or not at their job. So like Rachel Phelps, the owner and moneyball, she might have acted, the owner in Major League, she might have actually invented moneyball. Because she built an incredible roster using using very little fun. She found an ace pitcher in prison. So very good at their job. White Goodman's lawyers and dodge ball, probably bad at their job. You would think they're forced out of a company that he founded seemingly very

easily by kind of an idiot and Peter LaFleur. So there's, there's, there's things like that. There's great play maps. There's tickets for every movie. Rick has created. The original idea was what would the tickets of these movies look like? What would the ticket to Rocky's fight

against Ivan Drago look like? What would the ticket from dodge ball look like? And Rick created these tickets, put them in the books. So there's a bunch of fun, great visuals there. And then, you know, asking some questions. How did the pro golf tour and Happy Gilmore? Why was there a loophole to let a random winner of one country club on the tour? That's a that's a wild thing.

I kind of surmised that the owner of the tour, that the guy runs the tour, might have seen the owner of that country club or the owner of that country club had some had some dirt on the the pro golf pro golf tour. President might have seen him like run over somebody with his car or something something where he's a little more cache for his club but um yeah that's that's dirty. It's happy was funded by the

Saudis. Whoa. I guess you'll have to read the book. I guess I will. I think shooter Mcgavin seems like more of the live guy if oh yeah.

If we're taking his bag he's taking the bag. Yeah. Yeah. But that's uh that's my shameless plug. It's available wherever books are sold. It makes a great gift to your parents, aunts and uncles, your grandparents, even the ones who can't see anymore. Give it to them.

It looks great on a bookshelf. And I think if every single person listening buys four to five copies, we should make the New York Times bestseller. Let's do it. So give four. That's what we're looking at. Four will be okay, but if you get five,

that's when you're a real one. I was kind of bummed when I saw that Kyle's first book was going to be this. And even though this is great, I kind of wanted you to follow up on your first post-grad problem column submission where it was situations in your work life where you wish you had an NBA, the end of an NBA bench

following you around to hype you up. Oh my god. I don't know if you remember that, but I do. I don't. That was your first, that was what got you in the door. And I remember loving it. I walked into the Grand Ex office on my first day. Dave took me into the conference room. Dylan walked in with a baseball bat, just taking cuts, not making eye contact with me, just talking about how he's the top dog around here. Really interesting introduction. That sounds right.

But no, Dave was like, and he was like, yeah, we got a remote writer team. And he was like, named a couple of people. He goes, yeah, Kyle Manduho, he's one of our strongest right now. And I was like, Okay, okay, remember the name. Look at the name. And look where we are now. Now we're here. This is the whole last book sitting in front

of me. Did Rick also do the the cover of the book? Rick did the cover he did. He did literally every everything. Yeah, Rick is, you know, the the best wouldn't have honestly, this project doesn't come to light without without him with that genesis of that idea about the tickets and reaching out to me and you know, turning it into this so it's pretty much I've been talking and writing about sports movies for five years five plus and then my first sports movie related thing ever was on PGP talking about all the football problems and remember the Titans of which there are many

PD quitter. Gosselin was a was a five five time player of the week and then suddenly can't even can't even defend white guys. What happened? Yeah, there's something more. That was a liability. Yeah, liability. But you don't go from five time player of the week to to not being able to keep up with anybody. Something's going on there. I think I wrote exactly one sports centric column for PGP in my entire time there. Was it about badminton or something? It was just Mighty Ducks. Oh, okay.

Yeah, just the Mighty Ducks power ranking of all of them. And after that, I was like, I can't do this anymore. It's too much. And on this subject, this call is about business. So I will. Kyle, we will see you soon. It's too much. And on this subject, this call is about business. So I will- Kyle, we will see you soon. Thank you. We will see you soon.

Well, before we get into today's episode, we get to Dylan, will you do the new sponsor alert alert please? We have a new sponsor, new sponsor alert. This is exciting solely because this is a company we already love. It's a company we already all own things from. It's a company that whenever I go by their store

on South Congress, I walk directly into it. Smells great. Because it smells freaking good. Anywhere worth going is worth going in good boots. Find your perfect pair with Tacovas. If you're not familiar with Tacovas, I'm actually surprised at this point. They craft quality Western boots for everyone from generational ranchers

to lifelong cowboys to your boy right here. First time boot buyer. Even the city folk will find something they want in there. Hey, we don't need to call me city folk right now. Oh, sorry. Yep. Even will, even an old cowpoke like me. We did a video last year, probably fall time, I guess, Randy, where Randy and I actually went into Tikova

for my first pair of boots. And you're treated like a king in there. It's just an amazing experience. These guys were born in Texas in 2015. And by these guys, I mean Tacovas. Uh, and they just make it easy for everyone to find their perfect boot. Every one of Tacovas boots are handcrafted with over 200 meticulous steps for broken in comfort right out of the box.

So whether you're in for a long day or a big night, your Tacovas are built to last and impress. I need to look up which ones I actually have. I will say mine feel like they were worn before I got them because they're so worn in. Like it's a beautiful thing and one of the big reasons I didn't want to get boots in the first place was like I don't want to I don't want to wear these in. I'm not going to wear them enough to make them comfortable. These things are comfortable right out of the box. Right out. I look forward to getting my first pair of Tacovas. Randy, how many Tacovas do you have?

As of right now, none, but I can't wait to get my first pair. I thought you had like four pairs. No, no, no, not yet. Maybe Randy needs to get a pair through this ad deal. Right now, get 10% off at taccovas.com slash CRCLBK. When you sign up for email and text, that's 10% off at tecovas.com slash CRCLBK. Tocovas.com slash CRCLBK.

See the site for details tocovas. Point your toes west. Space bar. Oh, we're going. Okay. Okay. Hit us. Space bar. It's time for the space bar. Dave, can you do some space noises in the background to supplement this? Honestly, just don't want to be a part of what he's doing. Here's a here's a satellite. Here's a satellite flying by. Here's a satellite flying by. Ready?

That sounded like a lightsaber, like erecting. Erecting? Yeah. When you turn it on and it's usually how it goes. There's a moment of this fear when you're finally in space and they shoot a Satellite over your head. Oh, and it just shocks ever so real like a real shot No

No, it's all generated by computers. Okay, cuz there are satellite core if it was Computer graphics technology. Yeah, the techs there buddy. Okay, sorry Is it you know, I've done your own space bar music yet. Yeah, I thought we did Do we not know we just had like a generic like space. I like doing it live. I like singing it No, I think we need to take you singing it and I think we need to make that into a trap remix of some sort Oh, can we get bread on that? Maybe? No, stop now. I'll ban him from making AI music. Like just stop, stop giving him tasks that involve AI.

Because also your space bar song is a parody on the headline song, which is a parody on Footloose song. It's very meta. The Footloose song? How's that one go? Footloose. Oh. Space bar. Anyway, space bar. We have two space bar stories today.

Well, because the space bar is usually about space or bars. So are you saying that one is about space and the other is about bars? I'm getting ahead of myself. Have we ever let off the show with a space bar? In the space bar, the stories are either about space or something about a bar. Very cool.

Or sometimes about like the thing on your keyboard called the space bar but it's never actually been about that. Not yet. I noticed yours was kind of sticky. What's going on? Anyway, these are both about space, not bar related. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. First one, new moon dropping. We're getting a second moon folks. Is it neon? Uh it's not neon. That would be sick. You're getting it from. God admit it'd be cool if it was neon. From September 29th was just a few days away until the 25th of November. So we're talking. Oh this thing's sticking around. Talking almost

two months. We're getting a second moon. You're probably thinking like where's this other moon coming from? Like what's going on? Yeah, it's literally. Did like the other moon have a baby? No, it didn't have a baby, David. You probably think. He didn't break a piece off.

Nothing has been broken off of our moon baby. Have we looked at the dark side of the moon? It's actually just an asteroid. Oh. That is gonna, it's flying by. Zzzzoo, zzzzoo. That's the sound that makes when it flies by Earth. It's going pretty fast, actually slow for asteroid standards. But

still, let's see how fast is it going? It is going to be moving at about 20, 2200 miles per hour. Okay. Which again, fast for like regular Earth standards, but space standards pretty slow, slow enough that it's going to get caught in the Earth's gravitational pull. And it's basically going to slingshot around the earth in a horseshoe shape, it's going to go. But that that horseshoe movement is going to take almost two months. How big is this moon? You're

probably asking yourself right now, Dave, how big you think this moon? You're probably asking yourself right now. Dave, how big you think this moon's going to be? Oh, I'd probably say like the size of a basketball. Okay, that's pretty small. Well, you got it. You got to guess. I think it's going to be like six

times bigger than our current moon. That would be that would really be something. That would be a quite the spectacle. That would affect the tides. That would be quite, yeah, that would probably throw us the earth into a all caddy wampus. Dude, tide is so affected by this fucking new- Caddy wampus, great word.

That would be a caddy wampus earth situation. We don't want that. You guys see this fucking moon? I'm talking like generational flooding. Dude, tide's been really affected by this second moon. Dude, we're doing half off blue moons until this thing passes. Do you know why the tide's affected by the second moon dude we're doing do we're doing half off blue moons until that's until this thing passes do you know why the the tides affected by the moon do you understand what's happening

i've always wondered do you know a gravitational pull yeah so basically like uh oh when the moon is standing up business right now moon gets close to earth it basically just pulls the the ocean toward it and it creates like a kind of like an oval you think of like the Earth's like, like the the waters like more ovally than it is just perfectly round because it kind of bows out like that. And so on this side, tide goes up and that side type tide goes down. Wait, what the time comes in type goes out can't explain it.

And that crazy. Damn, it'd be like that sometimes. Anyway, this- It's an oval? This asteroid slash- What's the oval though? Hold on. What are you saying is an oval? Yeah, hold on.

I need to go back to this oval situation. So if there's water surrounding Earth like that, and if the moon over here is getting closer, it kind of like bows out like that. Oh, okay, okay. Because it pulls the water that way. Okay. And so on this side of the Earth, tide goes up,

and on this side of the Earth, tide goes down, and then it'll just return back. Can I ask a dumb question? I'm not asking for like an actual like built-up answer, but is this the reason, does this have anything to do with the fact that storms seem to occur mostly at night versus like during the day? Or am I just mentally thinking that that's a thing and it's not? I don't have the knowledge to answer that question. I feel like all the bad thunderstorms are later in the day. It's daytime heating is a big part of storms building up. So like, you see what I'm saying? Yeah, that might be more a sun thing than it is a moon thing. Okay, I was just wondering if that was connected.

But when the sun goes down, things get out. My side of town, that lonesome feeling. Comes to my door. Really? I can't wait to strap my Tacovas on and just fucking watch this neon moon. So this moon is going to it's actually between the sizes that both of you guessed. It's between basketball, David, between the size of a basketball and the size of the six

times our current moon, which is rather large. So how did I lose the showcase showdown? It's about the size of a city. It's about the size of a city bus. So not very big for moon standards really. Okay, so I've talked to my friend, Chat Gypte, about what it takes to be considered a moon. Do you mind if I give you those things? Let's go.

Okay. What if there was chat GPT? About 10 meters. It orbits a planet or a dwarf planet. It's gravitationally bound so the object must be bound to a planet or dwarf planet, meaning its motion, its big motion in location are governed by gravity of the larger body it orbits. in location are governed by gravity of the larger body it orbits. It's not a man-made object. It's got sufficient mass to maintain an orbit. The size and shape affects it. No significant atmosphere.

They don't like rap, Randy? I don't know, man. Yesterday, sunshine, great song. I know. Maybe this mood is just trying to find a balance. What if this thing didn't have enough mass so it had a dirty bulk? Just eating. Just whatever.

Peanut butter milkshakes all day. Syrup and everything. Syrup and everything. Syrup on your chicken strips. Yeah. On your satellite dish that you're eating. Maybe some strawberry syrup in your water. Yep.

Oh yeah. Good source of sugar. I love syrup. The guy love syrup You won't be able to see this with the naked eye That's so late. What's the fucking point? You also can't even see it with like Like a basic telescope you need a professional telescope so they could have just not told us about this and we would have been fine Yeah, all right. I'm going to Jimmy Walker's place this weekend. It's still sitting on my Jimmy

I'm going to Jimmy Walker's place and I'm gonna talk to sitting. No one's talking about Jimmy Walker. I'm going to Jimmy Walker's place and I'm going to talk to him about the president's cup. And then I'm going to ask to use his military grade telescopes. Well, that sounds dynamite. No, they're not going to blow it up. Something the size of a city bus is not giving moon to me. I kind of agree. Like, just like, oh, there's an asteroid that's entering the atmosphere. Like I get it. Not atmosphere like I get it's not atmosphere I get it's moving too close

Moon adjacent is one thing but like I feel like if it's a moon we got to be able to see it You guys remember that show land of the lost I do know Bet it's on Disney plus later the lost They had like hella moons in that show and I remember sitting there being like dude It would be so cool to live on a planet that just had moons scattered everywhere my movies I wish we had more than one moon. Yeah, like real like this one, but like a real-ass moon I like our current moon some plan. I have no beef with a curtain some planets are just lucky They're just spoiled with all their moon shit. They get would it be cool though? It's like damn, dude

That moon's looking dope tonight. Yeah, but the other ones got a minute because we have very few opportunities to look up at our moon and be like, damn, that's they're doing it right now. Yeah. That's cool. And this past weekend, the moon was kind of tight as a harvest moon.

Yeah, I was I was in bed all weekend, ready? Oh, well, you guys were living your lives, field passes. Dylan's such a Sagittarius. Like you're giving that arm. What about me would you say is giving Sagittarius? It's just like your entire like, what you're giving and putting off. It's like, you can totally tell because like you're affected by some things,

but other things don't affect you. And also like you have emotions and you're human. So yeah, you're totally giving sad. Scorpio season's coming up. That's what you're. Are you a sad bro? No, I'm a cusper. I'm on the cusp of Libra and Scorpio. I put up unscary the other day. Someone asked what my sign was and I said I was a Capricorn but I don't know anything about that stuff so if anyone can tell me if this is accurate or not and a backer actually responded to the scariest post and asked me what you guys were and so I did some general googling to hope that I could get it right I forgot that you were a cusper and and the the backer did not indicate that either of you exhibit classic traits of your son's.

Oh, like they really know us. Whoa. It's like it almost doesn't matter. Oh, wow. Randy is against astrology. Would that be the worst person to lead the arm like a branch of the military general Googling? Yeah, he tough.

He tough one. God, did you talk to general Googling? He's not happy with the troops right now. Randy, I had a geometry teacher in 10th grade who said that all doctors do is just go back and Google it. Yeah. I'll be back. Let me tell you, there's a lot of lawyers. Yeah, they hop on.

He was very distrusting. It ruined the vibe of the class that day. He had clearly gotten some bad news and then started the class talking about doctors and then threw his marker at the whiteboard and went and sat down and told us to work on other homework. We were like, oh good. WebMD.

Yeah, good to see that. Good to see our teachers in a good spot right now. Sorry, you think you have cancer. No, he did. He ended up being fine, but I just remember being like, yeah, I don't think the administration would want him telling us that doctors are frauds in 10th grade. That's such a hot take.

Rainey, is astrology girl a deal breaker for you? No, because then that would like get rid of like 30% of the dating pool, maybe even more. So it's more of, I can't say that astrology is completely bogus, but I can say that there's not enough proof to make it affect how you treat other people and just assume people. People are actually like, oh, you're Leo, I can't.

We're not compatible. I don't care if people care about it. I truly don't care. Libra slash Scorpio. I think if people treat people differently because of someone's born in a certain way, I think that's just probably a bad thing. I think if people, if someone's super into astrology

and they want to use that as their personal guiding light for them, like if they get some self-fulfilling stuff out of what their attributes are supposed to be or what their horoscope is, like, if it's making your life better, go and do it. Go and do it. I can't disprove it, so it's like, do your own thing. I feel the same.

I had a friend who was shaming me for trying to join a cult. And I was like, but like, I like how it makes me feel. That's what's up, dude. Like, I don't think you can tell me to not do something that I enjoy. I was holding the cans. They took the cans right out of my hands.

And I was like, dude. They said the Theedans were. They snatched them away. Yeah, I was like, dude. That's bullshit. They were gonna give me a free cruise. Man. Just don't post it on your stories.

Yeah, they told me I can be A-list slabs like Tom Cruise. You guys, are you ready for the second space bar? Yeah. I was gonna say, this is what, I don't think I'd rather have multiple moons. I think I'd rather have this. This one is brought to us by my good friend and scientist, Will DeFries. He's sitting to my left right here on the board.

This one's interesting. What if I told you, David, that Earth years ago had a ring around it similar to Saturn. What if I told you that? What would that do for you? Doesn't really affect me in any way. Do you find it interesting? No. What? Imagine looking up like oh fuck there's a ring around earth right now. Are there humans on the earth at this point? This was guess how long ago this this was according to a recent study. Late 30s, roaring 20s. Can you ask what I would say? What's your guess? I would say let me see your earth rings. Okay. 466 million years ago there was an asteroid

broke up in Earth's orbit and was in the debris the pieces of the asteroid got caught up in Earth's orbit temporarily but for a long time I'm talking like how many years was it it was around we had a ring for like 20 something no I'm sorry I'll find it give Give me a second here. Talk a lot of years, 10s of millions of years. Okay. And the study that revealed this is because of the crater sites around the earth were all located kind of like lined up talking like Pangea days, you know, super content, right. And so the pattern of the craters suggested that they that the pieces hit Earth in kind of like

a line and they have determined that it's probably from a ring. Okay. My precious. 21 crater sites were studied. Why don't they look through the Jim Webb telescope and just look at it? Why don't they use the time machine that is the Jim Webb telescope and just check it out? Yeah, if they're looking into the past or they why not just turn it toward earth

and just be like, oh, fuck, rings, tight. Because it would have to be 466 million light years away. Okay. And that I don't know if we're capable of such. Find a way. Why don't we just put a mirror 466 million miles away and then we'd look in a mirror and look back. It actually probably has to do half

because it would go back and forth. Yeah, yeah. The brain's on this guy. Do you think Jupiter was like, oh my God, I can't believe Earth got a ring before me. That's good. I think Jupiter has a ring. Then, do you think Pluto,

you know what he's saying. Do you think Pluto was like, all right, ah. Then the ring just disappeared, got divorced. Oh, damn. Earth down bad right now. And that's when the neon moon came in. Then the neon moon was like, you know what? I'm gonna brighten your day, Earth.

Did y'all see the photo? They had a photo online yesterday that was actually like a photo of the Big Bang about to happen. Did you see that? What? Randy, you saw it. Sure. The photo yesterday of the dinosaurs and then they had that thing going into the ground.

No, I did not see this. Is this the one? I don't think that's the Big Bang. Was Mu Dang there? Yeah, the asteroid looked just like Mu Dang. The Big Bang was the beginning of our universe. No, I know, but it was this asteroid that looked, it weirdly looked just like Mu Dang and it was just going in. Really? Yeah. I hadn't seen that. I'm going to have to dig into that one.

That's crazy. Just saying it's out there. I know there's a lot of misinformation and alternative facts on Twitter right now, but Mudang might've caused the big bang. That's my theory. I just find, I find space to be absolutely fascinating. It's pretty good.

It's pretty good. It's pretty good I now agree with Randy. I would rather have rings around our I would rather have a ring around our planet than anything. I mean, it would be so sick. Can you see the ring from anywhere just where the ring is? I don't think you could see the ring from the planet. Do rings are on planets? Are they around the same part of the planet at all times? Do they spin differently? It like it always around the equator or is it like, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Like, does it rotate the same at the same axis as the earth at the same time rate or do they rotate at all?

I don't know. I would assume they rotate. But I would imagine it'd be very visible if you're standing on earth and looking up at it. Much like Saturn, we can see the ring from here. You should take a class. Just like a space 101. Yeah. Space for dummies.

Yeah. Just mark no grade. Go out there and vibe. Learn some shit. What's it called when you just like you don't actually take the do any of the homework or take the test? You just like sit in on a class. Yeah, you can do it. No grade. Like, what would you do if they had they had like a 100 level class that was just called like dope space facts 101 like that that would be something you want to go sign up i would sign the fuck that

sounds a lot like my science class in seventh grade it was taught by my uh wide receiver coach who just went up there and opened a book and it was like, 1,000 crazy facts about Earth. Did he trust doctors at least? He may have trusted doctors, but I'm not kidding. He would just open and be like, you guys know that there's enough wire in the Golden Gate Bridge to wrap around Earth six times? You're like, oh yeah, it's pretty fun.

By the time they're done painting the Golden Gate Bridge, they have to go back and start painting it again. Is that a true thing? I think it's relatively true, I don't know. I had a kind of a class like this at the end of my college. It was called Geosciences in the Cinema. And it was a guy he worked on like from NASA too, but it was a blow off class then,

but it was just all natural disasters and space stuff in movies and like the actual science about why that wouldn't happen. And like, it was a very funny class and the guy was really good at it. That's pretty sick. Yeah, that was probably my funny class. And the guy was really good at it. It's pretty sick. Yeah, I enjoy that was probably my favorite class I've ever taken.

Yeah, we I had to take a politics and film. And you would go Tuesday night, you'd literally watch a movie in class. And then you had like a day to turn in like a two page like essay on it. And it was like, that was your class. Kind of cool. Pretty dope. Yeah, actually I Hope I never have to get graded in a class ever again in my entire life You probably won't just Randy's game show Like I know that like little kids complain about this but like there is truly nothing worse than having to do homework

There's some things that are no there's nothing worse like nothing worse. Like genocide, you know, stuff like that. It's 1A, 1B. It depends who you ask. If you ask a fourth grader what's worse, genocide or homework, they're saying homework every time. You're probably right. Have you ever been poked in the eye by an 11 month old?

Stop, dude. That's fucking terrible. You know what the worst part of this is? You know I don't read that often I don't read very many books. Not really my thing. I Bought a book yesterday. I already owned Kyle's movies with balls And so I'd already I know I've already read this one, but I bought a book yesterday Sally Rooney's inner mezzo And I went home excited to not watch TV last night and to sit down and read this book

And then my son poked me in the eye. Isn't it ironic? Don't you think? A little too ironic. Yeah, I really do think. She's like, I'm good. Alanis? I was told that when she played a show at ACL Moody Theater in downtown Austin, my favorite concert venue in the world. I was told that there has never been a crowd more into a performance than that performance. Like she just brings it out. I mean, Jagged Little Pill is probably a top 20 album of the 90s. It's probably top 10. It's getting more and more popular for bands that maybe have less popularity now than they did in their heyday. It's getting more popular for those bands to just do tours or specific concerts where they would just play like their most popular album front to back. I would absolutely go to a Jagged Little Pill concert where she just plays that

front to back. Yeah, that'd be a great show. They're not gonna be able to do that in the future because kids like Randy don't know about albums. They don't care. No, I got albums. I'll tell you about one album that I'm not super excited about winning an album of the year is called genius loves company. Stop because I think why are you? Why are you being meager? Let him live. Whatever. Or his memory. A year ago at this time, Randy, when I bought a record player, Randy was like, I fucking hate record players.

I still do. He's like, you get worse quality. They sound all crackly. Like they're so, whatever. Now Randy is buying vinyl, more vinyl than I am. Crack was the coolest part. My opinion was that every single time I listen to someone put on,

they'd be like, oh, it's uncompressed audio. It's so good. I'm like, I can't tell a difference. And all there would be, they would have the, the, the suitcase ones and all their things would be warped. And I was like, this sounds like shit, but you know, I like the idea of collecting albums now. That's about it.

I still would just rather do some out of five. Is this still the space bar or what's going on? This is the end of the space bar. You know, those are two cool stories. That was out of this world, dude. Thank you, man. You know what else is out of this world? Glad you guys enjoyed that. The packages we get from every plate. That's true. I got an every plate package in not last week but the week before. It was like Christmas morning. We made these

little quesadilla John's. Dude, how made these little quesadilla John dude. How good are those quesadilla John my girl? Willie the tacos buddy. The taco. Oh yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I'm thinking of the tacos. We got a little case. It is a God arc. The tacos were quesadilla adjacent.

They were cooked. They were cooked old fashioned style. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. We got the same day. They're so good. What I like about every plate is that when you open the box, all the produce and everything is in there. But like when you take it out, it doesn't feel like it was

like pre packaged, whatever. It looks like you literally just went to the grocery store and got all their good produce and actually got it. That's what's up. It lasts to like we we didn't cook everything within like a couple like the first three days we had it. and every single thing was still good and great the second we decided to cook it. Every plate delivers dependable, affordable, and delicious recipes right to your door. You don't have to worry about that sticker shock that you get from the grocery store

these days. Every plate meal started just $2.99 per meal, so it makes sense as to why they are America's best value meal kit with thousands of great reviews.

The pre-portioned ingredients mean that you only pay for what you need. And the meals end up being more affordable than your fast food to go.

Like what's the issue here? I don't see any. What's stopping you from doing every point, Dylan? Nothing, because it's awesome. And they sent us some in the tacos. I can't get over. I'm going to just post it on the story. I don't know why I haven't posted it. They were so good.

They were so good, Dave, that my wife could not finish her meal. And I ate her tacos two days later after being in the fridge. They still were incredible. That's pretty dope.

See, I, we shamed you into listening to a recommendation. It's like, well, I shamed him to responding to my memes. Yeah, and now Randy's hitting me with hearts. He didn't you shame him or he you shamed him into inviting you to birthday parties. His birthday party. Oh,D TBD. We'll have to wait till April

7th for that. Fifth. Fifth. Yeah, I'm one season deep on industry. Yeah. So what? Welcome. Welcome to the brethren. Although I have uh I'm only one episode in. I I give you permission to uh include spoilers here because they don't really bother. You've been one episode in for like he's he's not gonna watch the perfect couple dog. You don't want bother. You've been one episode in for like, how long? He's not going to watch it. I'm watching The Perfect Couple, dog. You don't want to listen to the- That show looks good, but every review I've gotten of it says that it stinks, baby.

I don't know why. I'm enjoying the shit out of it. It's not good when I get numerous DMs saying, numerous DMs saying, I wish I had that six hours of my life back. So you're saying numerous DMs from people you don't know are more meaningful to you than your friend Dylan's opinion? You're two and a half episodes in. I'm four in now. Oh wow.

Look who watched an episode and a half last night, Mr. Big Shot. Yeah, that's right. Go ahead with industry. As someone who didn't watch the perfect couple, I can tell you it stinks. It stinks, baby. I saw some tweets. I like it. Look, I read the book, okay?

Okay. I didn't read the book. What do you want to know, Will. What do you want to know? Well, what do you want to know? Should more people be watching this show? Am I over rating it? You can say I'm over rating it because I do think I am over rating it a bit. Um no, I think it's I think it's incredibly well done. So, I have watched season one and then I started, oh, it's the first episode of season two, which we'll get to that.

And I found it to be much different than I had pictured it, not only because the subject mattered, the setting is a bank and not the music industry, like I thought for a couple years when people were recommending the show, but just, I don't know, I thought it was going to be a little bit more hokey and it's actually like a really good show. They actually thus far do a good job of developing characters. Yes, there's some gratuitous drug use and sex. I think, I think this, I never thought I would say this. I think there's almost a little too much fucking, but I kind of feel like the fucking gets reduced a little bit as they

move on because I don't view it as being like a super H show, But a lot of people do. It's not like, it is, but it's not like super cheesy. It's a lot of it, this is gonna sound weird. This is gonna sound like a film guy or TV critic. I feel like a lot of it is necessary for the character to understand. Let's justify some sex scenes. Yeah, I think a lot of it's justified.

And honestly, it feels like a, you know, a lot of these shows that try to portray young 20-somethings who are single and working and balancing that with their dating life, a lot of it doesn't seem believable. A lot of it seems like forced and like, what 60 year old wrote this. It doesn't seem like that.

It seems like a somewhat close representation. Not that I have any idea what the 22 year olds are doing, but it seems pretty close. The best way that I can describe it is I feel like it's a combination of succession and euphoria. It's got the drugs and sex of euphoria and the young person aspect of it. You could debate that the people in the show are maybe too young to be doing what they're

doing. Maybe it's too high level. But it's a combination of both. It's not a perfect combination of both. But I think it fills a very good void right now of like great TV shows that we don't have out right now. It's a great void filler while we wait for White Lotus season three, that kind of thing.

I'm gonna get back in. Are y'all gonna frick with the penguin? Yes, absolutely. I will start that after I get caught up on industry. If you're trying to become an eye head like Dave and I and maybe Dylan, I guess like a little bit season three is currently wrapping up this upcoming Sunday. It's a great time to get in so that you can just watch every

single season and set yourself up for success. Is this the final season? No, they got renewed for season four because it's been absolute gas. I truly think that the season I think that the show has gotten better and better each season and I also think that part of that reason is because they've been doing so many callbacks and character development that go back to season one that it's almost satisfying to see it pay off. Like I think I look at season one as being better now because it is still a part of season three in a lot of ways. Yeah They haven't lost the plot. I never worked in a big bank that may shock you

but You see I feel like they had some the creator of the show he spent some time, right? Yeah, apparently he was an investment banker before he became creative a Lot of the outlandish things, they kind of mimic what I imagine. My friends who worked in like big law firms, a lot of the stories they tell and a lot of the the hijinks that happens down on the floor and like at the Christmas party and the happy hours and stuff with like very, very high-end eccentric wealthy clients, that shit goes down.

And it's pretty fun to see how they portray it. And like, how much do you sit there when they're talking about moves that they're making within the investment banking industry where you're just like, all right, I'm just gonna put my head down right now and hope that this pans out in a way that I understand in like five minutes.

Yeah, when they're talking about the FX group, When they're talking about the FX group and then like shorting the dollar because of Brexit or some shit, I'm like, mm-hmm. Yeah, for sure, no, I get that. Sounds good. This isn't my world, I'm not gonna even try. You don't really need to have that knowledge to enjoy the show though.

Who's your favorite character? Season one. Who's your favorite character? Season one? Season one favorite character might be Eric. Eric's a savage. Eric because he is just, I know I won't give too much away. I like how he, I like his relationship, although it gets a little weird. I like his relationship with with Harper I The initially he he's he's very very like he's a psycho But he also like sees a lot in her that he you know He sees in himself and it's kind of nice how he protects her and wants to get the best out of her again

This is only through season one I don't know where this goes if Again, this is only through season one. I don't know where this goes. If this take ends up looking real bad, I reserve the right to amend it. And Rob's good too. Rob and Harper are really good. Rob's just a kid. Rob's got to fucking calm down.

He's giving me anxiety. The drug use gives me a lot of anxiety. Dave, if he gives you anxiety now, I'll just tell you right now, it's never gonna end. Okay. I thought that might be the case. The major reports, non-spoiler reports of the season finale of season three, everyone's saying that it's supposed to be a tailspin for Rob. And I'm like, that's not what I want. Oh, man. I ride for him. Have you'm like, that's not what I want. Oh man. I ride for him.

Have you met Jesse Bloom yet? Or Jesse, Jesse Boom yet? Yeah. Okay. He's staying in the hotel. Okay. Just making sure. Just making sure. Okay. Dylan, please catch up.

I'm excited to see where that goes. I'm going to. Are you guys Bridgerton guys? No. My wife was or is. My wife watched the first season. I don't know if she ever dipped into season two or if there is a season three, season three. I don't know. What's going on? Can you tell me what's going on? Oh, sorry. Sorry. No, no, no. I

just I don't know. I. So you remember remember the uh, what was the wonka thing? That had to have been a year ago No, it wasn't that long ago Um, do you remember like people paid money to to bring their kids and go to the willy wonka experience in scotland? Uh-huh, and they got there and they're like what the fuck is this? What great? Uh, you feel like we're detroit Um the city in michigan dash You feel like we're Detroit The city like she dash t ro that's the one why t Detroit threw down a

Bridgerton ball Fans were some fans were charged up to a thousand dollars They got all dressed up and you familiar at the time period of Bridgerton? Yeah. Okay. It's a period piece. Yeah. They got all dolled up to go to this Bridgerton ball, meet with some like-minded people who really liked the show.

And apparently it was just a big money grab bruise. It was like a conference room in a hotel that included a pole dancer and KitKat bars, staff wearing sports jerseys, and people just sitting on the floor. It was apparently widely, widely panned. The photos are truly depressing. Randy, can you pull up that tweet I sent you? Yeah, the photos are really sad because you see people who probably took time and spent money on their cool costumes. It just looks mega depressing. Oh no. Undercooked chicken, a step and repeat that looks like, like people are just bad sitting on the ground texting. You don't have, they don't have tables and chairs.

These people dressed up like really well. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's, that's sorry. It's giving unknown. It's like the most generic like hotel conference room. It really is of all time or like ballroom in a it's like a Marriott ballroom. If you have the overhead lights on for this party, you don't have

like a fake chandelier going. You're already fucking this up. The lighting in this room is terrible. It's like very I would imagine to walk into like beautifully set tables, a dance floor, flowers everywhere, actual plates and not paper plates. This looks like a middle school day, like theme dance. According to one video on TikTok, there was a quote queen in attendance for visitors

to have a photo taken with, but she spent her encounters handing out business cards and telling people to follow her on social media. I like clout play. I like that. Yeah. It's really bad. And you just feel bad when people get all dolled up for something like this.

$150 to go to this and this is what you get. This is, this is my official take unless something is sponsored by Netflix Hulu Apple TV max whatever it is. Just don't go to it Just don't go to whatever TV show or movie thing that they're doing If it's not officially licensed that we need to we need to start abandoning ship Did people request refunds and if so, did they get them? Brandi and I found a tick-tock and we were gonna watch it and then we realized it was nine and a half minutes long Did people request refunds and if so, did they get them? Randy and I found a TikTok and we were gonna watch it and then we realized it was nine and a half minutes long,

which feels too long for that platform. That's too, that's not the right platform. I didn't know you could do that. I didn't need it. I go, Randy's like, are we gonna play this? And I was like, nope. He sounds just like that. Dude, let's do an industry party.

Let's do an industry party in the office. We'll make like a fake Bloomberg machine. Oh, let's fight. Okay. We can put a bunch of cocks over. Yeah. Oh, we can invite the people from the, yeah, the office over. Yeah. We have the opposite problem. Yeah. They're for sure going to come. Yeah. We should make it a ticketed event. So even if they no show again, uh, we can at least profit off of it and not just waste a bunch of money on alcohol. That's going to go undrank. We have plenty left over actually. Yeah. If you're listening over there, you guys want to come over and have some beers.

We still have got some beers over here. We did make it through the Lone Stars, which I thought were going to sit in our office for like months. Hey, I got to say another thing about industry. They really want me to do a stimulants. That show. Meth, famously not legal in, or not math, sorry. Adderall. Not legal in the UK. Meth famously not legal in or not not math. Sorry Adderall not legal in the UK. That's not either. I'm

going to become an Adderall or an Adderall dealer in the UK. That's good. You should it clearly a market should move away. That show man, that show owns so much real estate in my brain right now. I'm watching it every night and I've cut myself off no more back to I'm going one episode a night. Dude the soundtrack, too fire. Why not more than one? I feel like it takes away from the show. I like to watch one then let it let my brain digest it and then I'll do another tomorrow. Why don't you just watch eight straight episodes like I did on

the plane? Because then I feel like I don't process things and I forget about those. Yeah. Yeah. I'm doing that with Lost now. By the way, I'm almost done with Lost. So I'm at the tail end of Lost and I'm starting industry. And those shows are going in two completely different directions. I'm not real sure where Lost thought they were gonna how they're gonna end this thing. But man, is it fucking chaos? You've seen the ending of Lost over No. Oh, you haven't? you haven't no no. Oh, I thought you'd already seen the ending

I had an idea of where what it was, but I don't think that's what it is. Eric is in lost, right? Yeah, Eric is miles and lost and it's it was the weirdest thing I ended an episode of lost turned on industry first episode. The first person I see is fucking Eric It's so weird. He's so good in industry. It's crazy. But yes, when I binged the show that I binged the hardest, like stayed up late, couldn't stop watching with staying up till 3am watching episodes was Breaking Bad, but I was watching like six episodes a night.

I couldn't get enough of it. And if I was ending a season, I knew that I was gonna watch at least one more episode or at least probably two more episodes every time. It's the most addicted I've ever been. I had no way of like stopping myself from just watching as much as I possibly could at any moment. I think there was a scenario where we do

or where we had we been earlier on it, an industry pod. I like it that much. I like talking about it that much. It flew into the radar for so long that I feel like people didn't actually start like hardcore watching it until this season. And so I feel like there's a lack of information out there regarding the old seasons. Like there's no oysters, clams and cockles for industry season one. Did they not do industry at all? I don't think they did. Does Barrett watch it?

I don't think he does. Barrett needs to watch it. Yeah, he needs to watch it. Industry, Kyle. Kyle's back. How's it going, guys? Just podding. Just podding?

Just trying to do our best. That's all you've been doing is just podding? Yeah, just podding, dude. How was the business call? Business call went well. You conduct business? Was told I did, quote, good job. So I think we're good.

Was that by somewhat important or was it from some spare on the call who's someone to contribute at someone important? Okay, we're only we're only taking taking compliments from the important people but everyone in my company is important I like the I like the unmute at the end of the car a great call guys. All right Actually, I actually had to speak in this one, but it means I'm gassed up and ready, excited to be back here. I want to, I actually do want to touch on industry. I've seen the pilot, the like the two hour, the really long pilot and I really loved it. My wife wasn't the biggest fan. So naturally we have not picked it up.

Did your joint show. Not like for life, but just for the show. Yeah. It's going to have to be one of those ones that I watch in my own time. You know how the shows go. It's hard to find your own time. If it makes you feel any better, Kyle, I I'm watching it without my wife and I've gotten to the point where I will just put it on while she's in the room.

Oh, this is a you problem. Like if you could have this on and not get drawn into it, then I'm not going to worry about it. I think that was Narcos Mexico for me. I was just like, I got to see I got to see what happens in this thing that I could Wikipedia. Narcos Mexico needs to be talked about more in great television. I love Narcos Mexico. Narcos Mexico is the best season of Narcos. Great show.

The thing I had with, let's just talk about a show that's like four years old at this point. The struggle I had at the beginning of Narcos Mexico was like the same thing from Half Baked, where it's like you're in here for weed. And it's like initially in Narcos Mexico, they're dealing weed. Yeah. Like this doesn't seem as serious but then it gets really serious really quick. Oh yeah once they get their pilot you know yeah going stuff like that you get to move up to the powder. Yeah once you get CIA involved. Yeah Dylan didn't even bother watching season one he's like I'm going straight to season two for the cocaine content. That's true I did that.

All right, let's talk sports movies. Let's do it. Let's talk sports movies. Let's do it. Let's talk sports movies. I do have a question though for everyone in the room. Kyle, I'm going to ask you last. Dave, what's your favorite sports movie? Wow. I have to think.

Probably, I mean, it might be Happy Gilmore. It might be Happy Gilmore.. Sandlot really over Major League. I love them both. They're both on my Mount Rushmore probably, but Sandlot is just fantastic through and through. OK, OK. Parks also loves it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love them both. They're both on my Mount Rushmore probably, but Sandlot is just fantastic through and through. Okay. Okay. Parks also loves the Sandlot. That's the best part about the Sandlot once you have a kid is getting it, being able to revisit it with your kid. My kid's not ready for Sandlot yet. Tried to cue it up. He got about 10 minutes in. I was like, oh, this is working.

Mine's Mighty Ducks 2. Kyle, do you have a standalone favorite sports movie? I do. I do. It's Bull Durham. Bull Durham is it for me. It's the first chapter of the book. Everything else though is kind of in flux. A lot of when we put the book together, a lot of it was like kind of how Dave said, Happy Gilmore, the ones you've seen the most. A lot of these are movies and just sports movies in general are great when they come on like TBS or TNT. It's like I can catch a few commercials of the replacements.

Like that sounds great. I can watch Happy Gilmore is about to get his ass kicked by Bob Barker. I'm going to stay on TV for that. Yeah. But yeah, we wrote a column one time for PGP that was like the best, the top movies that you'll stop changing the channel for. I do remember that.

I don't remember any of the movies that were on the list. I know that Shawshank was on the list, but I don't remember anything except for Shawshank. My cousin Vinnie. My cousin Vinnie was probably on the list. It's gotta be on the list. That's great, that's an all time. Love my cousin Vinnie.

A few good men should be on the list because if you know that court scene is coming up, like you gotta stick around for it. You don't change that channel. There's a really untasteful or distasteful. There's a not tasteful cut to commercial in the middle of that scene, pretty much every time I watch it on television.

Really? It's just like, really? Right there we're going to commercial. Gotta pay the bills. Make you earn it. I turned on a Top Gun Maverick last night. It was on like Paramount or whatever. I was just browsing after finishing watching some sports some sports and they I guess it's so recent

that I don't want to spoil it but they cut to commercial right like right before the climax of the movie right before right before Glenn Powell shows up it was tough it was real tough what a what a wild scene that was good movie yeah good movie yeah it was fun we watched it in the IMAX theater good What a wild scene that was. Good movie. Yeah. Good movie. Yeah, it was fun. We watched it in the IMAX theater. Good, great seats too.

Well, some of us did. Oh, we don't talk about that night anymore. That's so funny. Thank you, Randy, for showing up. It wasn't even a big of a deal. It's just funny. No, we got better seats than Randy and Brett did. They were front row.

When you were writing the book, like now that you've written the book and how many did you how many times did you watch these movies while you were writing? I would write them. I would watch them like I was covering an event. So I would just have them on repeat, like especially the game. So in each most sections of the book, we're like talking about we're framing it around the game, the big game.

So in Major League, it's like that end game against the Yankees. And we did a Knight's Tale and a Knight's Tale is that final joust. And so I would just watch those scenes over and over and over again and try to try to pick stuff up. So I've now I had seen most of these a million times anyway, but I've now I've now all seen them at least like literally, at least like 10, 15 times. Were there any movies that you watched where you were like going in being like,

this is a great movie. And then like the more that you watch it, you're like, this is dog shit. I had the inverse happen, not dog shit. I was just meh on Slapshot. I think I'd only seen it like once or twice and not for a long time. But Rick, Rick's a little bit older than me.

And so there were a couple of movies that he were like, got to have Slapshot. We got to have Teen Wolf, which Teen Wolf is a riot. But I, after re-watching Slapshot, I was like, oh, this is one of the best sports movies ever made. This movie's incredible. Hockey, for being a sport that's not like the most popular sport in America or the second most,

probably not even the third most, like it has great movies surrounding it. Incredible movie. Well, cause you can't, you can't like have bad hockey. You can't have people who can't play hockey. You can't have people who can't skate on film. It's not like you can throw in like Freddie Prince Jr. and put them on skates.

If he doesn't know how to skate, you can't have a movie. So even like Mighty Ducks, Kenan was on a, one of the talk shows and was talking about like, he can skate really well still because they put the kids through skate school in Mighty Ducks and things like that. Having actors who actually know how to play the sport in the movie really sets it apart.

It's the biggest key. Yeah. Miracle, they just took hockey players. Bunch of hockey players. Which I just saw for the first time. Oh really? Like weeks ago. Did you like it?

It was incredible. It's so good. Yeah. You know what you should do, you should listen to a podcast hosted by Kyle Banduho where he had Dave and I on to talk about the movie Miracle. And that was many moons ago. But yes, that was that was old studio like, like, this was a power studio. Yeah, that was. Yeah, movies like hockey movies are all the hockey always looks good. I'm sure there are exceptions that I'm not thinking of, but like Slapshot, The Mighty Ducks movies, Miracle obviously, Goon, Goon Rips. Goon is such a great movie. Love Goon. What's that one about? Goon was a tough cut from the book. It's got Stiffler.

And what's the funniest role? Hockey. He's an enforcer. Yeah, he's an enforcer in like minor league hockey. And his rival is played by Leif Schreiber, who's like an old salty enforcer. It's great. And then if we're getting into Rex Shorzy on Hulu, I've not started Shorzy. We actually just recap season one on the pod. But Shorzy is fantastic.

And they again, they got really real hockey players to do it. When sports movies get sports, movies or shows shows when they get people who actually played the sport there. There are things that are just lived not learned if you played baseball at a certain level you played football or basketball at certain level. There are things that athletes can just have naturally that you just can't teach someone who didn't play those sports to do so it comes off as more authentic. It works better in the movies. It's why

it's why Kevin Costner is the sports movie goat because he loves sports. He lives and breathes sports. So he feels like a minor league baseball player. He feels like a golfer. Good golf swing. Good golf swing. Do you think John C. Reilly would actually be a good catcher? I've always wondered that. Probably not. Tin Cup is an omission of mine. Like on I should have been, I should have thought about it more for favorite because Tin Cup is excellent. It's so it's it's very watchable where this week's episode of big strength sports I'm turning in I'm Mike it today yeah but yeah but yeah that was this tin cup is that's another one if the if the final round of the US Open is starting in 10 cup on TV I'm I'm breaking plans. Got to watch it.

Where is the driving range in tin cup located? Like where he lives? Where's the actual where did they film or where does he live? He lives where does he live? He lives in middle of nowhere. Like we have fake town called Salome in Texas. Okay, our own place. Yeah, there's a lot, there's a lot of logistical questions on, on what, you know, why are they hosting a charity golf tournament with tour pros? How did they get Phil Mickelson to west tax? I mean, now, now it's kind of obvious how they got Phil Mickelson to west Texas. A lot of connections, but back then now a lot of questions. My favorite muddy ducks Ducks too.

One thing I thought about, you know, they, they incorporate the, it's how they actually get, what's Kenan's character's name. They get him in, they find him on like the roller hockey, the street hockey team. Yeah. The roller hockey that was like, I don't know if this was a nationwide phenomena, but like D2 came out and like the stars had just moved to Dallas and roller hockey blew up in Texas. Russ Tyler, by the way. Russ Tyler.

And they had that roller hockey scene and I was like, you know, the outdoor street hockey. And I was like, looking back, I'm like, dude, they kind of nailed that. And that really like, that was kind of the hook. Oh, because it was, I mean, I was already in, cause you know, the first Mighty Ducks ruled, but D2 like that was so well-placed and like that, that was something that people were actually doing. I would get done watching Mighty Ducks 2, go out in my driveway on my rollerblades

with hockey gloves on, shoot around until I got tired. And then I would go back in and watch Mighty Ducks 2 again. So the stars moved in between Mighty Ducks 1 and Mighty Ducks 2. Cause remember in Mighty Ducks 1, he So the stars moved in between Mighty Ducks 1 and Mighty Ducks 2. Cause remember in Mighty Ducks 1, he takes the kids to meet the North stars. Mike Madonna. Yeah, and they're like,

oh, Gordon Bombay, you were awesome at hockey or whatever. You were the Minnesota miracle man. And then right after that, they were like, we're going to Dallas. It's tough. Do you feel bad stealing hockey from Minnesota? I won a cup in 99. They have a team again, right?

Yeah, the wild. The wild, right? Yeah, but the North Stars are so much tighter than the wild. Those throwbacks are tight. When you guys were doing the book, how much did you have to account for the illustrative part of the book versus actually just writing the book? Did you try to tailor it toward the design aspect of it

or was it like, hey, I'm just gonna write the best thing I can do and then you illustrate this and make it look awesome? There's a little mix of both. We kind of came up with a running structure that would make it easy for us to work in unison. So for every movie, there's a play map. So taking one play from the movie,

like in Major League, Jake Taylor's walk off bunt, which I've got some questions about if he could have actually beat that out, those busted ass knees. Dylan could have beaten it. I would think Dylan could probably run faster than Tom Berenger. You do have a bump knee though.

I would still feel good about that. Not anymore, it's fine now. Till it's not. Stop. Don't put that on me. You're awful cocky for the guy who just got poked in the eye after talking shit all over you. That's good.

But yeah, anyway. Yeah, so there was a play map for a specific play which would take up a whole page. There was obviously gonna be the ticket, like the ticket that Rick created. So I blurbed the play map, blurbed the ticket. And then I would write, there was a structure we did kind of intro in the movie, setting up the game, a big breakdown of the game,

picking an MVP, picking if someone was good at their job or not. And then a couple random sections, we broke down like some sports movie hall of fame cases, um, you know, asked, like I mentioned earlier, though, the whole waterbury open happy Gilmore loophole. So some things like that. And so that's where with situations like that, sometimes Rick would be like, OK, we got a little space on a page. I'm going to create a visual or on the other side.

Rick built out a visual in tin cup. He built out like the golf bag with the with the shovel and the the rake in the baseball bat that the cost are using. And so it's like, OK, that's going to take up some space there. I need to blurb that. So it was like we knew we had these set things to do. And then each movie, you know, potentially we added another three, four pages of visuals or writing. So we kind of tried to work in unison.

So where we didn't one of us didn't get to out over our skis. Was there ever a period where you're like, I'm done with this? 100%. I don't want to do this anymore. Yeah, it was there were times where I would close my eyes and write just because I was like, I can't watch what I'm writing because it's too bad. And then and then the next day I would, you know, it edited. And there were I knew I knew I would always finish it because like once once we started, wasn't going to give back the money, you know, and but I always wanted to do this.

And like I told you guys earlier before we started recording, like I legitimately would have done it for free. So once I got the opportunity, I was 100% going to finish it. But there were times where I was like, yeah, this might suck. This might not be good. Well, it's been so you texted me early on in the process. I don't remember what question you asked me, but I remember where I was because I was like,

oh, fuck, that's tight. Kyle's doing a book. But I was standing in a grocery store and I was like, oh, I need to respond to this text like right now. I had no service in the grocery store, so I couldn't. But like, I mean, that feels like it was two years ago. How long did it actually take? It's been almost two and a half years process between linking up with Rick,

us developing the idea, meeting with our agent, finding a publisher, writing out. This is a story for another day, writing out like one half of another idea, having to nix it, then getting to where we got. Now it has been like two and a, I did not have gray hairs before I started this, this project. So it's been, it's been like two and I did not have gray hairs before I started this this project so it's been it's been a bit a publisher asked to meet with me at one point to talk about the possibility of doing like a book around like sunday scares and stuff and once she started doing the timeline of it I was just like man that doesn't sound very there's no instant gratification in this process

it's a long sounds like you just get your nuts kicked like 50 times before you get to like be like, all right, this is great. I turned in my final draft over a year ago. And there's and there's obviously with the illustrated nature of this book, like laying it out, Rick doing all the illustrious like that added. I'm sure I think with a book that doesn't have illustrations in it, I think that process is probably a little bit quicker. But yeah, it was quite the, it was not as like instant gratification as writing something at WordPress on PGP and then texting Dave or Will and be like, hey, I'm going to publish this. And then saying thumbs up. Do we give him publish rights? I think so.

I kind of took them. Yeah. No, I mean, when I'm thinking about it, if I made a list of ranked list of people who deserve publishing rights, that I don't need to worry about anything cancelable being in there. Like you're definitely toward the top of that, if not number one. Delph might be at the bottom.

Cause you don't know what Delph is putting in columns. He doesn't get access to WordPress, doesn't get publishing rights, none of that stuff. No, no, no, no, dude. I remember talking to Ross when Ross was writing the TFM book way back in the day. New York Times bestselling author. Correct.

I mean, he was, oh my God. That forever, like not that I ever liked to- He was a shell of a human being. Yeah, not that I was ever considering like, I want to be an author one day, but I was like, holy shit. I don't, that whole scene, what he was going through, it's just like, I don't think I can handle it. Kyle asked me before But I was like, holy shit, I don't that whole scene what he was going through. It's just like, I don't think I can handle it.

Well, Kyle asked me before he's like, do you still want to go lock yourself in a cabin for 30 days? And right? And I'm like, yes, I would love to do that. I don't know what period of my life I could even fathom doing that over like, it's gonna be 18 years before my kids go off to college. So like, there's no way I don't know how I would even find the time to do it with two kids at home. I did a lot of it at night in bed

Like I would turn on which I'm sure my wife just absolute shout out to my wife for putting up with with this But I would like put on a movie and I'd randomly start writing I would do some of it like while I was eating lunch at my desk sometimes early in the morning The worst was when I would have an idea it like I'd be rolling around it'd be like 1 o'clock 2 o'clock in the morning I'd have an idea and be like'd be rolling around, it'd be like one o'clock, two o'clock in the morning. I'd have an idea. I'd be like, fuck, I've got to get up. I've got to type this out or I'm going to forget it in the morning. Cause the first few times I would have an idea, be like, I'll remember that in the morning. And then it's gone. No, when you're laying in bed with your eyes shut and you're like, all right, remember

that in the morning, remember that in the morning. It's never gone. I text, I slacked Brett this morning at like 6 AM was something that I didn't want to forget just cause I was like, I can't even believe that I remember this now doing like 6 a.m. with something that I didn't want to forget just because I was like, I can't even believe that I remember this now. Doing it with a book and not just like communication with someone, it would drive me crazy. Yeah, so I tried to type everything, get everything down and then on the back end

just had to cut a big chunk, cut some chunks. Some definite kill your darlings in the editing process. Part two. Yeah. Again, if you know, if everyone listening wants to wants to buy multiple, even buy one again, it is great for for gift shop for like gifts. It really truly is. It looks awesome on a coffee table.

Looks awesome on a bookshelf. You can just poke through it. You don't have to like read it. Dude, it's on our pod behind the podcast too. I'm going to make it pop. Just FYI, I'm going to make you sign the cover. I'm going to make you sign the cover of the one on this. Yeah, that's a good not the inside.

I want you to sign the cover. I'll sign whatever you want. It is the perfect Christmas morning book because if you get like a normal like novel, you're not going to go start reading that on Christmas Day. You get this book that has like the visual aspect to it and the bop around nature of it. Like it's the perfect Christmas morning book.

Good pick up in your downtime and just, you know, spend 20 minutes just sifting through a book. Yeah. Kind of rewatch one of your favorite movies through the book. It's very Mondo friendly. Yeah. You can have this on the back of your shitter. It's like, you're going to be feasting.

It's a great shitter, great shitter book, like incredible shitter book. Can we edit the back cover with like the recommendations on the quotes from people and say like it's great for Mondos Read this while you're pooping Kyle.

On Friday, I am doing a book signing or book reading event. I'm honestly not sure what it's going to I'm going to leave it kind of up to the bookshop but at Nowhere Bookshop in San Antonio

that is at 6 p.m. on Friday. I will have some books. I will have some bookmarks to give away. Are you nervous? Extremely, yeah. Okay. There's a chance no one shows. It's also the Virginia Tech Miami game is happening at the same time. I'm a Virginia Tech fan. That game is going to be an ass beating. So I will be checking my phone every like five minutes or so at that event and getting more and more upset. So that'll be that'll be a good time. Nowhere bookstore,

Nowhere book shop store now. Now nowhere bookshop. I think it's San Antonio. Go support Kyle if you're in San Antonio. Yeah, come say hi. That'd be lovely. You don't even have to buy a book. Just come say hi. I just need to know that someone's going to be there.

Yeah. The anxiety before events where people are supposed to attend is always just what if no one shows up? What if zero, what if exactly zero people show up? It's there. It's sitting, that anxiety is sitting right there You'll be good. You'll be good. This place looks cool. I'm checking out nowhere right now. It seems cool Yeah

If you live in San Antonio the ideal date night is going to this book signing or perhaps reading and they just hitting some queso Fundito somewhere afterward calling it a night sounds dope like that's not like a great friend I know it's wild is last week. They had an event with Wilmer Valderrama. Do you remember Wilmer Valderrama? Yeah, yeah. Very well. Yeah. Got to imagine more people are going to go to that than go to mine. But no, no, no. We're going to get PGP. PGP Nation is going to print out some of their favorite columns from you and have you sign on that. Oh, perfect. Yep. Are they still in line? It's hard to say. I was actually wondering that earlier. Yeah, I don't know which ones are. There's some that are definitely still online. I feel like there's another part of the archive that's just not, I don't know though.

Probably for the best. Yeah, I wouldn't hate lopping off some of those columns. Like who's paying for the hosting on this? Who? Not us. Talk about the TFM columns, man. Yikes. What are you doing this weekend?

Thanks for asking, Will., Friday Park says his first baseball game, the Bad News Bears speaking of sports movies, great. That's the name of their team. Oh, nice. Yeah. So he's got the you know, the yellow socks and belt and all that. And they got it. It's cool situation. She goes bail bonds that they did. It's not sponsored by Chico's actually now, unfortunately. So that's Friday night. And I don't really have much going on. Wanna watch Texas play their first SEC game

against Mississippi State Saturday afternoon. What a sexy opener to the SEC. Yeah, I know. Who they running out there. It gets real after that though. What's, are you worried about that number one this weekend? I think Texas probably gets leapfrogged by the winner. They shouldn't.

The winner of the Bama Georgia game. They shouldn't though. I have no problem with it because they'll have a better strength of schedule up to that point. Yeah, but I feel like in order to take the number one away from somebody, you got to that team either needs to lose. I mean, Texas leapfrogged Georgia without playing Georgia. Yeah, but I'm not talking about that, Dylan.

Don't bring logic into this. What you saying? College football. Maybe Michigan who probably is the best team in the nation outside of Texas. That's true. Who's that starting quarterback going to be this week? TBD still. TBD. Mississippi State's running Michael Van Buren Jr. for the injured former Baylor great Blake Shapen. The Vann Buren. So, Wounded Tiger Theory. They got MVB out there they got MV BJ Wow and the rest my weekend is pretty pretty open actually don't really know what

I'm doing and those are my favorite weekends hopefully hopefully your folds working so we can get a hold of you you guys never hanging out on the weekend so it's just it's just on the cards I will not be seeing y'all this weekend man I can't wait to tell you what I'm gonna do the clam the clam bake is Sunday but I am this I'm a maybe for that oh I got parks and apparently it's not a kid friendly situation okay I was told he was making moves to make it a kid friendly situation I told him that to shut down that operations I felt guilty if they hired a clown yeah I'll be honest I don't want to like my kids not gonna enjoy a clam bake even it's kid friendly Unless there's a blow up house there like it's not going to be fun

Well, it's rainy like the cheat code. Dave. You're making something kid-friendly Oh, yeah, yeah, my in-laws bought it one that they have at their house And so anytime we have people over it's like, all right Can you we're going to come by and pick up that that big house pick up the blow up house? Yeah, that's a cheat code. What are you smiling about? Nah, no one's just being funny. I pointed out that Dave likes to eat clam. Just a subtle, a subtle jab. What?

Dave, you'd, no, you love clam chowder. I swear to God, I don't know that I've, I don't think I've ever had. You've had chowder. You've had chowder before. I don't think I have. What? Really?

Oh, it's excellent. It's not something I would eat. Even like a corn chowder? Oh, you have to, Davey. I've probably a corn chowder. No, I don't, I'm not a chowder guy.

I can't wait to show my kid. Would you like to know those movies? I would I wonder how we're doing there Point break. Not yet. Point break a little early. Little early. Fuck. And he's talking about the original point. We're close though. He turns 11 in a couple weeks. So we're close.

Bull Durham. Yeah, we're far. Full circle. Maybe the maybe the cable version. And glorious bastards. We're far. Yeah, that's tough. Zodiac. I don't think he'd appreciate it like he needs to. I would show it to him. I think it would give him nightmares, but I need him to have the appreciation. That's a, that's a, I would probably rework that list. Dilling got nightmares after Zodiac. He was always texting me like, dude, this movie's haunting me. Never saw Zodiac.

Really good. Love Zodiac. A bonus, uh, Chappelle show. So I haven't shown him anything from Chappelle show. I have shown him a couple a couple jackass bits. Oh yeah.

And I was like, I called him over and I was like, I, I need you to know. I need to know if you think this is funny.

And he thought it was really funny. So Jack still hits some physical humor that always plays. Can they just replace chive TV with just Jack ass TV and at bars, it's just Jack ass clips playing on loop. Cause I would much rather watch that than chive TV. All right. That sounds phenomenal.

He likes going out there but you know, you know, it is when there's a playground about 55 yards away in the field like all the kids are just looking over their shoulder the whole time. That's all the only reason they're there is to go out there to that playground afterward. Uh got the clam clam bake Sunday huh? Yeah. Bake of the clam. I'm gonna give you guys,

maybe we'll record it. I will give you my official clam review. Oh, about that. For my first bite of clam, which I swear to God, I don't, I'm pretty positive I've never had any clam of any sort. Brother, we gotta, we gotta get you in some chowder. Okay. I don't know if I've had standalone clam, but I have had lots of clam chowder. I know that I've had a pasta that I accidentally ordered that came with clams, and I remember being like, I did not think this through.

They're in the, similar to mussels, right? Yeah. Yeah. As far as taste goes. I think they're pretty similar. Texture and all that. But like in clam chowder, I think it's rare to see an actual clam in there. I almost feel like For as taste, I think they're pretty similar texture and all that. But like in clam chowder, I think it's rare to see an actual clam in there. I almost feel like it's like, you know,

pureed stuff that just is supposed to taste like it. Yeah. If you have real clam, that means you're ballin. Yeah. You know, I've downed a few cockles in my day. For sure. For sure. Oh, yeah. And I'll yield my time to you. Yeah, not much. Not much going on. Here's the thing. I don't know. I just don't really feel like doing anything. Like, being sick last weekend and just sitting in bed all day. I don't want to sit around at the house all day. But like, are the boys willing to go out and bop? Do I need to drive to San Antonio to the Nowhere Bookshop? Let's run a party bus. Show up to this fucking book signing.

Then we can take the party bus up to Dallas, go eat dinner with Kyle in it. That would be great, so I don't have to fly. Exactly. That'd be incredible. We'll just rage the entire time. That sounds like a great weekend. I would love to go do it a night out, at least dinner in San Antonio,

because every time you go, the food really is phenomenal. So yeah. Truly an underrated city. San Antonio. Underrated city. It's good. It's got its warts, but we've great publicrated city. San Antonio. Underrated city. It's got its warts, but we've great public golf scene in San Antonio. My brother-in-law's favorite soccer team

so I can chatter my boys up on Monday. Okay. Okay. Sounds good. You want me to make a chowder? I'll make a chowder. Chowder yourself. No, I think it's too hot for chowder.

Do we have any diving temps? I don't want to serve chowder to you guys and not, and have you- It'll be more pleasant. It's dipping a bit. Okay, okay. Once the temperature is steadily in the sixties, I'm going to make the gift of chowder for the boys.

I saw that. Okay. That was me. Okay, that's me. I don't think she looks like Steve Nash. I thought she looked pretty good. I've never seen Steve Nash in an SI swim issue, but I don't think she looks very much like Steve Nash.

No, Steve Nash, not a handsome fella. You're not too ugly. He's fine. Yeah, he's fine. I'm the one saying this. What do I know? You're a handsome lad. Trust me, you know a hot dude when you see one.

Hey, before we get out of here, guys, what if I do a quick small biz September for our boy, Payne Wright from Gainesville, Georgia, Georgia? When I go to the gym and they call it Gainesville. Yeah. Yeah. This week's small biz September is sponsored by Orgainsville. See what I did there? Full circle.

Here's what our man Payne had to say for himself. I want to introduce my small business, PBW Bookkeeping, a business I started this year. I'm a bookkeeper that helps small to mid-sized businesses keep their finances in order. Entrepreneurs spend a lot of time running their business and often don't have the time to focus on their books. They put it off until tax time and it's a massive undertaking to catch up.

My services provide monthly financial statements. The business owner will know how their business is performing and where they should focus their efforts. I offer a full suite of services from bookkeeping cleanup all the way to full service financial statement management, including cash management and AR and AP management. He's in Gainesville, Georgia, but the service is fully remote, so clients can be anywhere. You can find more information on his website, pbW bookkeeping.com. PBW. PBW. Pain right. Sounds like he should have been a lawyer. You know, pain, right? Pain, right.

Right. Law injury attorney. It'd be fucking sick if he was like a undertaker. Oh, yeah. Well, that dude owns a morgue. A golf journalist. He would like a really, really good name. name sweet southern accent strong. It's a strong lassey. Yeah also Next Tuesday go listen to the game show yesterday. It was amazing.
