All right, we're back circling back podcast coming to you live from Austin, Texas. My name is Will DeFries in the studio with me today to man booth David rough You see the blue man group is about to perform their last show really What are ticket prices like? No, I think there's there's they look they look pricey. I think they're Yeah, okay. We may need to go.

When's the last show? Do we have a date? Okay, let me say, maybe it's their last show in New York. Blue Man group to end New York run after three decades off Broadway. I don't know. It seems like they're gonna be done at some point. They can only be Blue Men for so long.

Do you think they'll continue in Las Vegas, Nevada? Do you think they still have their residency in Chicago? I heard they are doing, there's another band called Dead End Company and they are going to do a joint show at the Sphere. That'll be sick. All the graphics are done by the blue men. No one's complaining about that. I'm fucking going. What do I go for round two? What do I need to do to get you to go to the Sphere, David? I'll go. No, I was actually going to bring that up today. It's so geisty that I feel it's it's geisty amongst my friends, which may mean it's not that geisty, but it I have to go. I think I want you to see the visuals.

I think you should go to a dead and company show because I think you'd enjoy it. I genuinely like music. If you can get over the annoyance of what Vegas can be sometimes with the gambling with you know all the strip clubs that Dylan always drags us to. Yeah. Like stuff like that. The sphere itself is one of the best run venues I've ever been in in my entire life. I've heard nothing but good things. Yeah. Yeah. We'll see. We'll see. This is great news for me. It's not for my bank account. Am I right? Have you seen these ticket prices, Randy? You've seen this? I have. My mom saw the Eagles at the sphere.

Shout out to your mom. The band, not the football team. They didn't. They play on a football field. Your mother, very youthful. Yeah, well, in a viral ad for Aura Frames, Will called it a perfect gift for the olds in your life. And my mom, my mom coming on Facebook and said, I don't agree with that term. I was clearly not talking about Mrs. Trembachy.

I mean, I would never refer to her as being old. Is your mom on Instagram? Think so. What's the ad? Dude, just by that post alone, she's got aura herself. You know what I'm saying? Sure. I'm happy that our ads reached the proper audience though.

That is very true, yeah. We've hired a consultant, I'm gonna pull back the curtain, cause we're trying to grow the show amongst like a younger demographic. And they basically were like, you need to work in more like lingo, like TikTok, like under 25 lingo. So I'm going to do my best today to do that. Like skibbity? I was going to get there. Hopefully. Like I was kind of trying to put it in organically. Okay. I'll just let you do what you need to do then But yeah, yeah, mrs. Trimbaki mad Oreo. Oh Sorry, I thought you said mad Oreo that too It did sound like that did I got I was really like why is she a mad is that her at mad Oreo?

That's cute Mad or else. Oh actually Dylan it's like me her at earlier. Just kidding. We're having fun. He's mad Oreo. Oh, actually Dylan had slacked me her ad earlier. Just kidding. We're having fun. He's not here. Where's that fucker? Dave, I'm seeing, I saw a post yesterday that I think is relevant to this podcast. Okay.

Mainly because I need Randy to mansplain to me how this works. Okay. And what we actually want here. But it was from unusual whales. Ah. Yes. Unusual Whales. Ah, yes. Yeah, Unusual Whales. It says, breaking, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy reportedly considering ending daylight savings time

as a part of the Department of Government Efficiency per Forbes. Yes. Yeah. Vivek Ramaswamy. I got like passed in the house that they were going to and daylight savings like two years ago

and then just it didn't happen or so. So do we, I support this. Do we wanna keep daylight savings or do we want to keep standard time? What are we on right now? We're currently on standard time. I think personally we wanna keep daylight time, which is the summer

one where the sun sets later. Okay. In case you want to get a quick nine in after work or at least like contemplate doing it and then never actually do it. Dude, we need an emergency 18. Yeah, dude. I just need some time with the guys. Exactly. It's a new character I'm working out. Especially living in Chicago when the sun was like setting at like four o'clock. It's

pretty depressing. It's not great here. I support that. I don't really know of the, I don't really understand where they're getting the authority to do this. It seems like it's not in the scope of this, which seems to be a made up office.

Yeah, it's true. It's not saying that it can't be cut. I just don't know it. It's just a lot of office. Yeah, it's true. It's not saying that it can't become, I just don't know. It's just a lot of talk. Is the Doge department, is it essentially like a blank word document that they're just letting Elon and Vivek type in? I agree.

From what I heard, it's gonna be like a department that doesn't, you can't really like make decisions, but it's gonna like create a lot of reports and be like, hey, this is what we should do. And then like people are gonna going to make decisions based off. That doesn't sound very efficient. I like the blank doc.

That analogy was good. I mean, I, I think, I think Trump does value Elon in a way for now, for a couple of months for now. It's, um, but yeah, it's not, it doesn't seem like an official government entity right now, does it? Well, I think I'm sure what Randy said is true. Yeah, pretty much. And advisory capacity, but it's just really funny.

Yeah, they can't end a like, a like job itself, but they can say, hey, Trump, you should end this job. And he'll be like, okay. I mean, is buying some Doge the move right now? Like, I feel like Elon's really gonna shoehorn in the word Doge in a lot of things to the point where he's not gonna let it fail. Is this a pump play?

Is this a pump and don't play? That's all it is. It feels like it might be. Let's see how it's doing. I never bought Doge. It's up it might be. Let's see how it's doing. I never bought Doge. It's up. 41 cents. Yeah, it's up 344% on the year,

which seems like a good ratio. I made like $300 off Doge, so good for me. You don't have diamond hands anymore though. No, no, no. I have more like sapphire hands where I didn't fully sell all of them. My hands are so diamond that like like I might as well not have even bought it because I'm never getting rid of it.

Damn. That's the play. It's a long-term play. It's generational wealth, Randy. He's just gonna give it to Fritz and say, that's right. You can't you can't you can't sell this. Yep. I need to test him to make sure his hands are diamond.

I will say he's not very good at catching a football right now. It's pretty hard at that age to catch anything. Yeah. Outside of a cold. I mean, God, these kids are sick all the time. Yeah. I mean, they're asking me, Dad, did you go viral at work today? I'm like, son, did you go viral at school today? You've got some infection.

What's going on? Woo. I think that we should make Dave do a type five. What do you mean? Oh, just in general? Do a stand up type five somewhere. Have you ever done a type five? Have you ever put one together? Honest question. you know, I'm not sure. What do you mean? Oh, just in general, do a stand up type five

somewhere. Have you ever done a type five? Have you ever put one together? Honest question. I was pretty wild in college. I feel like your fraternity brothers would have made you do stand up at one point. Wow, tough crowd. I went over

my head. I'll be honest with you. Did they ever make you freestyle? No, they didn't make me do anything. Well, that's not true. I was going to say, they definitely made you do something. Yeah, at one point. They made all of us freestyles. It was terrible. No, Ross and I just ran, we'd just do that at parties.

Cause we were, we were a part of that crew that would just get too drunk and be on the side of the porch. Like, we're really into a little flip, so we better double cup up and do something. I'm not equipped to freestyle. It's not something I do. But if it's a safe space and everyone has to freestyle,

I do think it'd be really fun to just get the boys together and spit some bars. It's a safe space, though. No one's gonna make fun of you Everyone has to freestyle. I do think it'd be really fun to just get the boys together and spit some bars. You know, it's a safe space though. Like no one's gonna make fun of you because you're just giving it the old college try. They're gonna make fun of you. It's kind of the point of why they're making you do it. Sometimes I think of bars in my head.

I'm like, that's actually really good. You ever write it down? No. You shouldn't. It's like dreaming. You have the dream and it's really good. Do you write your dreams down? Do you have a dream journey? No, I kind of wish I would because I feel like you wake up and you're like, man, that was a

dope dream. And then by the time you've gotten in the shower, it's completely escaped your brain. Yeah. I guess that's what makes some dreams though. I had a dream the other night that I was in Mexico on vacation with the entire cast of the challenge. Okay. Johnny bananas really wanted to sit next to me at dinner. Then you wore him like a backpack and walked around. I woke up like a little bitch.

Dude, I had a dream that coach K I was playing for coach K. Okay. Keep going. I don't remember the rest of the tweet. Thanks Lebron. That was good. That was a good callback. I mean, real ones now.

Ball up top. Hey, do you guys mind if I make a few announcements? Please do. Okay, first and foremost, extremely online Tuesday was yesterday. You probably got an email because you obviously subscribed to our newsletter, wash.substack.com. You can get 20% off of everything. We don't know when this sale is ending,

but if I'm you, I'm going now simply because it could end at any moment. Is it ending today? Probably not. Extremely online Tuesday goes on through Wednesday. Can I be extremely real Dave right now? You're a real guy. We got some hats we need to move. And they're dope hats. We just, and we've sold a lot. We just bought a few more than we probably needed. Go buy a hat. They're really good. They're the washed rope hats.

I like the wash rope hats a lot, and I'm actually surprised we have stock left. I am shocked that more people are not at this moment purchasing them. So that's all I'm actually surprised we have stock left. I am shocked that more people are not at this moment purchasing them. So that's all I'm gonna say. If you do it, do it and send me a pic, DM me a pic and I will respond accordingly with an emoji. I'll hit you with a thumbs up or maybe even a fire flames.

Whoa, a fire flames. Will you sign a personal note for one out of five lucky hat purchasers? Wait so Dylan's gone so we're gonna be the one shipping them. Yeah we can do whatever we want. We can take stuff out of inventory and not tell him. I'll do for every I'll do a personal note we'll all do we'll we'll all sign something we'll do something we'll do something. I'm in. We can add like some of the smarties that we have it left. Oh yeah from uh Halloween. We're doing add-ins we're doing add-ins like crazy

cause we've got random stickers and like, Oh yeah. Golf tees, whatever. So like just know you're going to get absolutely add on to. Cause the hats, the hats are the only thing that we ship ourselves. So we can do whatever. Go make it happen.

Washedmedia.shop. Some bad news. Dylan's out. Which means a couple things You see you got me and Dave just running running point right now the bash bros No track house this week. No track house next week That being said we do have a special guest coming in for an episode next week Oh, we've landed one producer Micah to fill in for Dylan. Thank you Will. He's coming in on

Tuesday. Okay. So I am going to make a pitch that we do a normal Tuesday episode with Micah and we record Patreon on Wednesday next week. How does that sound to you David? So next Wednesday will be two Patreon. Yeah we'll go crazy. Or we could just do voicemails on Thursday. True with Micah. We could do, no we could do voicemails next week with Micah what you said I'm good with I don't want to do in Exactly five minutes with him because I know he has some prepared stuff for us And so I hesitate to pigeonhole him like that. I also don't trust Micah to go exactly five minutes He's got major vibes of a guy who wants to go more than exactly five a hundred percent true And finally just go subscribe on YouTube,

youtube.com slash circling back. Do you guys mind if I throw it back real quick? Not like that. Oh yeah. Not like that, my friends. Break it down for me. What if we did a little Will's five star review of the week?

It's been a while. It's back. Noted back or Lucas Dolingowski sent me a text message this morning and said, I think you should do this. His exact words were simply, please hold in case you need a five-star review of the week from a Huntsville backer, Sarah. Hey, Huntsville backer, Sarah, thank you for your review.

You ready for this? Yes. Says worth the listen, Hoss. Five stars. I need to address the fact that I pay $10 a month to listen to adult men discuss, quote, wieners in the bathtub for not one, but two Patreon episodes.

Right. We did run that back. And now a free episode as well. We'd like to apologize to anyone for that content. That was all Dylan. I'd also like to apologize to nobody. Yep. But before we get into today's episode,

let's hear from our friends over at Bilt. I got a PSA for anyone who rents. If you haven't heard of Bilt, you're about to thank me. Just say it right now to your speaker. Thank you, Will. Thank you, Will. Thank you, Will. Earning points on rent is now a reality when you pay your rent through built. You don't even have to check with your landlord to start earning points that you can use towards flights, hotel stays, fitness classes,

even your next rent payment. Let me break it down for you real quick. Okay? If you're a renter, start taking advantage of this. There's no cost to join.

This came out of nowhere. I saw that yesterday. Apple Music released theirs. I will say this, Apple Music's looked very nice. The way they portrayed the information was impressive. I think we're all Spotify users in this office.

I can confirm that I am a Spotify user. Actually, I just listened to everything on Nugs. That's cool, Randy. Dude, you're really cool. You're the coolest, man. That's so cool, dude. I've kind of bummed Dylan's not here for this because I can't get a feel for what that man's brain

is doing when it comes to music listening. Ooh. You know, he, I bet his and mine are pretty similar this year. That's the only kind of only hint I'm gonna give. I feel like y'all have a bunch of rap and then uh a bunch of country sprinkled in in the appropriate places. Is that is that a fair assumption? No. Okay.

This year's different. Okay. This year has really turned some heads around my household. Ah, some Mongolian throat singing? Yeah, a little bit of that, yes. Like Timo? A little bit of, and then a lot of skin flute music. Was intern Timo's Mongolian throat singing,

was that in his Spotify rap? Did that make it to his top five? He just listened to Icelandic death metal. Oh, that's what it was, yeah. Well, that too. I had some friends that went to a CKY concert in Norway. Okay. How recent?

Like high school. Oh, sick. Yeah. They're not going, no one's doing that these days. I don't know. CKY's not. No one's doing that like these days. I don't know. CKY's not still a thing, right? I don't know. They're living off that jackass money. Can't kill yourself. Right. Yeah. Right. Whoa. Pretty aggressive stuff. Um, we got some stats for circling back. Any guesses what the most streamed episode was for us last year. Ooh, the haters are going to hate that. It was one of those that week that Randy was gone. Probably producer week went viral.

Uh huh. Uh huh. By the way, there's an issue with the RSS feed. I'm aware. Oh yeah. To anyone who had an issue with the RSS feed, don't blame us blame Patreon. But I think I have it fixed now. Okay.

Oh man. Let me know under it. You're the best. Okay. If it's fixed. Our most streamed episode was Bit Madness round one. There's a lot of ops. It's a very polarizing time of the year.

Oh, I don't like Bit Madness. It's almost like that's every year's most It is. Listen to, huh. Yeah. Maybe we should continue doing it. First round. First round dude.

First round is always a banger. Yeah. Where do we begin on this Dave? Who is your most listened to artist of the year? This person's been in the news Zach Brian. Did you think it was going to be him? I thought it was going to be my second favorite. The artist that is number two, I thought was going to eclipse Zach Brian.

Who's number two? I don't know why Obama is announcing my spot. Well, he likes playlists. I do like playlists. It's a Turnpike Troubadours. Oh, okay. Are you listening to the new stuff or you listen to like the old stuff? So, here's the deal with Turnpike and Zach Brian for that matter. But mainly Turnpike. Turnpike's been around for a while. I kind of pivoted out of the genre. The kind of, I don't know Texas country slash Americana

blend wasn't I got into turnpike in the last two years so I got really really into them this year so I listened to a lot of turnpike and Zack Bryan I didn't get into really till last year I was very late to the Zack Bryan party Sally was listening to enough Zach Brian on my account that I thought that he might sneak in somewhere, but he didn't end up doing that. My Spotify rap this year is completely tainted. I thought it'd be tainted by kid stuff.

It's somewhat tainted by kid stuff, but it's more just tainted by Sally's personal listening. We have a family plan and she refuses to make her own account within that family plan, within the umbrella. So she just listens to my account the entire time. Got it. Don't you want like custom recommendations to you

if you're her? Just exposing her on this podcast. That's just, that's cute though. I mean, Joe have- No, it's not cute. Have you ever tried listening at the same time at different places too? Has that ever come into...

It does, yeah. Okay. Yeah, like I'll be, I'll have the house to myself and I'll put something on and then I'll realize that the reason that it stopped playing is because she's driving with the kids. And I'm like, oh, well, I can't rob them of this. Can I break some news to you? Yeah.

I had it wrong. Zach Brian is my number two artist. Who's number one, Turnpike? You could guess T pike Trubies. That's number three. Number one style is not turnstile to turnstile. Make your top five. No, they did not Number one is Sturgill Simpson. Oh, okay How do you mess that up? Because I did the thing that we talked about yesterday We're you know, we talked about sleeping with our phone

in the other room, so the first thing you check isn't your phone. I did the opposite. I checked my phone and I looked at, I saw on Twitter that Spotify Raptors out. So I checked it while I was like still, and yeah. So that's cool. But that checks out.

So number one, Sturgill, number two, Zach Bryan, three, Turnpike, four, Tyler Childers. Okay. Number five. He's just a chill guy. Coulter Wall. I don't know who that is. I just saw some Canadian cowboy music.

Oh hell yeah. So this is the first year that my top five artists have all been in a similar genre. No Bluey theme song? No, man. My number three most played song this year was This is Halloween by Jack Skelling man. My number three theme song. My number three most played song this year was This Is Halloween by Jack Skellington. It's a great song.

That's sick. It's so good, I'm gonna see it live in orchestra. I can't wait for you to do this. My number five artist was Vampire Weekend. I think I might've, I listened to their new album a lot and I think ahead of their show I started listening to them even more. Number four was Chapel Roan.

I'm not saying I don't listen to a fair amount of Chapel Rowan, but I do think that this was elevated a bit by someone in my life who I'm married to. Number three, I'm not happy about. At all. Fish. Bro. So, okay, let me explain, Dave. Let me explain. You got a lot of explaining to do. do so I am now positive that they take into account December for the following years wrapped and here's why when we were moving this past year I decided that I was going to I didn't want to move I didn't want to go through the

process of moving and so I decided that I was going to put in headphones the entire time I was packing things up and get really into Phish for that stint of time. Because I was like, okay, they have a lot of fans. They have a lot of diehard fans. I don't understand why their diehard fans are so defensive of this band. And so I was like, I just need to go in and see.

And so I started doing some research about the best Phish albums to listen to so I started doing some research about the best Fish albums to listen to. I started researching the history of the band, reading about the trials and tribulations of Fish. And so for six straight days, I just listened to Fish. Okay. And I really have not listened to much Fish since then.

I thought this was Touch of Trey related. No, it could be. Touch of Trey, of course, the cover band that we are big fans of. But I never listened to them very much after that little stint in December. It was from December 26th until New Year's Eve. Okay.

I just don't trust it. My number two artist was Taylor Swift. That's all because of Sally. I did my least amount of Taylor Swift this year. My number one was Grateful Dead. Me too. This Taylor Swift this year. My number one was Grateful Dead. Me too. This Taylor Swift thing. Yeah.

I feel like I saw after the Aris tour, it was a solid like six weeks of a lot of that. And then this year it just kind of slowed down. My number one song was a Taylor Swift song. I Can Do It With A Broken Heart. Should I be concerned that my wife is listening to that song enough to get it to the number one spot for me? You never want to read too much into these things, but yeah, I think you got a real issue. You should sit down and talk about it. My number two song was 360 by Charlie XCX. Number three,

This Is Halloween. Number four, Red Wine Supernova by Chapel Rowan. And five, throwing stones by the Grateful Dead. Okay. Nassau 89. I feel like yours and even mine to an extent, although mine much later in the year has been skewed by the Nugs subscription. Oh, I listen mainly on Nugs. Like most of my music intake is from Nugs.

Since you guys got me to pony up and get on Nugs, I've been I've been pretty heavy on that. It's I like the live aspect to it. I like that. It's always changing I like that. I just I just do it I wish that they had some sort of they have the some of the worst technology I've ever experienced on an app Sometimes and so I'm not that surprised that they don't have some type of wrapped But yeah, like if I had to choose one or the other, I'm probably going NUX these days. Something I've seen on live, on online, excuse me, noted a listener, Chelb, you know, our friend Chelb.

Very familiar. She retweeted someone who was pointing out that Spotify had a lot of layoffs and that this year's presentation of the rap was a little underwhelming I think it has been the last few years. I mean honest Specifically Less unconventional data in the moments like city matches zodiac signs, etc Right like last year was kind of fun where it like pinpointed you like where you would what your music city was

I was so happy that I got somewhere in Montana. That was cool. The one thing that they did do is, I don't know if this is the same for everyone, it was like, you've changed and so is your listening and it goes through the months. I don't know if you guys got that, but it starts December and then it goes to my March.

So I think you're right, it's saying right here, December that. It takes it into account. I'm telling you, it has to take December into account for the following year. Yeah, it definitely does. Who were your top five artists, Randy? My top five artists were,

let me pull it up on my Instagram story because it's easier that way. Oh wow, you hit them with the Instagram story. At Randy Trimbaki for those at home. Hell yeah, thank you. That was number one, Daft Punk, number two, Old Dominion, number three, Blink-1A2, number four,

going down a little bit this year, Kenny Chesney, and number five, A Day to Remember. I can't believe Kenny got cucked. I don't know, I know. Actually, I think last year, A Day to Remember was one and Kenny was two. How much Daft Punk you listening to? I usually Discovery, the album that's

for Interstellar 555 and all that, I listen to that every single time I go on a plane ride. So I don't know. You just go into space? I just love that album. Every plane ride, like even ones back from New York City? I probably did listen to it on that plane ride, yes.

Or at least in the airport. I think you were too hungover to put headphones in. God, dude, I've never seen you that down bad. I feel like you did in the Chicago one when I sat in the wrong seat. Yeah, you're right. This was just that you got to sit next to me the whole plane ride and get a friend.

To your credit, you didn't smell. No, thanks, I did take a shower. It's huge. I've got an idea, and you can say this is a bad idea and this is bad content but since it's only the two of us here, Randy's here, but Randy's in the cup chair famously famously. Okay. It's okay. What if because you know they you got a playlist for your top songs, right? I'm assuming you can

like send that playlist. What if we swap top songs, right? I'm assuming you can like send that playlist. What if we swap top songs playlist? We got every, you make a commitment. We listen to it all the way through until next Monday. And then we give our thoughts. On the other person's top songs. Okay. Gotcha.

Okay. I'll trade you. I'll swap. Cause I feel like you're going to like hear some of mine and be like, dude, are you okay? I feel like you're going like hear some of mine and be like, dude, are you okay? I feel like you're gonna hear some of mine and just be like, this sucks. I don't think so.

I don't think so. I think there's more overlap there than you're thinking. I will say very little hip hop on mine this year because I've become a no headphones at the gym guy. See, that's crazy. It is crazy. Do you just roll with like their stuff? Yeah. Play your phone in a metal tin?

Yes, I do. I take my shirt off, I sweat profusely and I put my phone in a metal tin and I make everyone listen to what I'm listening to. No, yeah, I find that I'm more efficient. I'm messing with my phone less and I just waste. I just get in and get efficient. I'm messing with my phone less and I just waste, I just get in and get out. I'm tactical.

So yeah. I'm like looking at my song, like my big playlist and like Car Wash by Rolls Royce. Like working at the car wash. Why? Because we put it on when we go to the car wash. How often do you wash in the car? A lot.

Fuck, okay. A lot, dude. You gotta keep the whip clean. That's a good point. I feel like Spotify rap should be kind of annoying. Like I feel like it should be a day A lot. Fuck, okay. A lot, dude. Sick. You gotta keep the whip clean. That's a good point. I feel like Spotify rap should be kind of annoying. Like I feel like it should be a day where everyone's like the main character

and everyone's like so proud of what they listen to and stuff like that. But I don't get annoyed by it at all. If anything, I think I enjoy seeing what people's habits are. It's just a little glimpse in everyone's life. Yeah, I like it when you post your top five and someone is, one of your artists has been in the news for something not great. And everybody's like, fucking piece of shit.

Yeah. I don't think we want to see Brett Spotify wrapped. I think he's got a bunch of canceled country stars on there. Dude, well, Oh My Johnny went from six this year to seven, but it's still can't crack that top five. See, I need to massage in some more Oh My Johnny into my listening habits. Chasing Abby, just a great song. But I would say this year is the most accurate of my just general artists in my lifetime too. Not just this year, that's my general top five. I'm not happy about mine.

Taylor Swift's new album stinks and I wish it wasn't all over my Spotify wrapped. That's a Sally John, right? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I'm a, you know, I'm a folklore guy. That's true. You know, I was big into the genre, the Americana genre this year.

And I'm No, no, and I used to be really really into it I've just kind of been one foot in one foot out and and it's reflected here But yeah, my my number one song being Oklahoma smoke show Dude, it's a little dude. She's like girl from Oklahoma. She's a smoke show. Yeah, I mean, I'm 40 years old She's a smoke show. Yeah, I mean, I'm 40 years old. She's a smoke show, dude. It's kind of pathetic thinking about like a four year old guy with a family just drive around like, fuck you. Just singing that song, dude. Dude. But I do. It's the life

we lead, huh? I bet Dylan's number one song is this boy, Elton John, Rocketman, which is interesting because our next sponsor is Rocket Money. That's perfect. Here's the thing about Rocket Money. It rules. I get an email every Monday morning from them giving me a little bird's eye view of my finances. And while sometimes it might be a little anxiety inducing to confront that on a Monday morning, it's necessary. But you know what's even more necessary? Finding subscriptions that you might have forgotten about. Maybe you're paying twice and you're not even realizing it.

Here's the thing. They'll find those unwanted subscriptions and they'll cancel them for you. Your boy had three ESPN Plus accounts at one point. Yeah. I think about that every time I use ESPN Plus. It's not a proud moment in my life. I was paying 7.99 three times a month. You do the math.

And yeah, it caught it for me. It caught several things for me. A lot of people can't name every subscription they have. I can't name all mine. I just learned that over 74% of people have subscriptions that they've forgotten about. That makes sense. There's no way I can name all mine.

No. And maybe I was paying for some Xbox Game Pass deal that I haven't used in a long time and Rocket Money let me know. Maybe that happened recently. I'd like to thank Rocket Money personally for that. Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions. It monitors your spending. It helps lower your bills so you too can grow your savings.

Dave, when's the last time you went to a Rainforest Cafe? Probably the late 90s. It's been a long time is what I'm trying to tell you. I don't think I've been since the 90s and it was definitely on vacation with my parents like night one. Like what should we do?

All right, let's go to the Rainforest Cafe. Yeah, it's a vibe play. This says the Rainforest Cafe has undergone a major cultural reassessment recently. For example, earlier this year, an April Fool's Day tweet from the Empire State Building's official account teased an exciting dining opportunity. New York City's most iconic building would now be home to the world's highest rainforest cafe. While astute commenters weren't fooled by the post's date, they were disappointed they

couldn't feast on jungle steak alongside animatronic gorillas. Given the overwhelming response, both restaurant and famed skyscraper granted the internet's wish six months later in a rainforest cafe pop-up opened on the rooftop of the Empire State Building for one weekend making their mascot Ozzie the orangutan one of the first apes to grace the building since King Kong. But as it has shown these younger kids, these Gen Zers who never even grew up with rainforest cafe are now just loving the bit of going to a Rainforest Cafe.

It feels a little bit disingenuous and borderline disrespectful to people like us, our demographic, who went through it. Like this is something we did. This is something, this was our life and now you're just making it your little, your bit. You're making a bit out of our life, Randy. This is something you would do.

Well, I don't know. Based on the Vortex bottle TikTok that went viral on TikTok, go follow us on TikTok, as our clean back. So I think some of the kids were saying like, no, we missed out on it. So like, it's more of like, we wish we would have gotten it. So maybe these kids are just, you know, they're sad that they didn't get to experience it as much.

RIP to the Chicago location. The closest rainforest cafe to us, can I guess they're, they're sad that they didn't get to experience it as much. RIP to the Chicago location. The closest rainforest cafe to us. Can I guess? Yeah. San Antonio. San Antonio. Fuck yeah. San Antonio rules.

If next time we're in San, I don't, I don't go to San Antonio. I think I've only been there three times since moving here. Maybe just twice. I would like to go back and I would like to go to the rainforest cafe for just one meal. I was going to suggest, I wasn't originally going to say that that should be on the agenda, but a San Antonio trip that is scheduled around culinary stops, food, restaurants, is definitely worth it because the food is bomb. I'm looking at the cocktail menu right now and there's never been a more Randy coated cocktail menu. If there was a Rainforest Cafe in Austin,

that would have been definitely like my second anniversary dinner for sure. Tell me you wouldn't order this immediately upon sitting down. The Rainbow Colada. You don't even have to tell me what's in it. I'm ready, hooked. Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum.

Strawberries, bananas, pina colada mix and pineapple juice. That is, magnifique. What about the mongoose Mai Tai? That's right up my alley. Don Q, coconut rum, Meyers Original Dark Rum, the Kuiper creme de almond liqueur, orange and pineapple juices. I am upset that I did not get to go as an adult.

I mean, they're still around, right? But it's just not everywhere. The Chicago one got torn down. Outside of the one that is in San Antonio, there aren't very many in striking distance for us. That used to be the restaurant we went to every single time we went into the city as a family. Like we go do the museums or go do Disney quests

or whatever, but like we'd always end up at Rainforest Cafe because that's what we as kids always wanted to do. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Do y'all remember the first liquor that you got really, really sick on and had to give up for a time? Mine was, I think just tequila.

Okay. Like gold tequila. Makes sense. Like I didn't drink it from probably the age of 19 until mid 20s, late 20s. Sure. But margaritas weren't big in Northern Michigan, so it didn't really matter. And then once I moved down here, I was like,

oh wait, no tequila can be anything you want it to be. It'd also make your clothes fall off. I mean, shitty flavored vodka. Now I probably couldn't do it, but you know, it just powered through when I was a kid. But I think UV cherry, I had one bad night in that. I don't think I've ever tried that. UV cherry.

Yeah, I found a bottle in our room and decided it was my bottle. And who? What about you? First was vodka, shots of vodka got me bad and then I remember senior year high school. It was coconut rum, which is what made me think of it so anytime like I have a Aversion a visceral reaction whenever coconut rum is mentioned. I've almost certainly had drinks that have coconut rum in it

since then, but there's something about like, if I watch you pour a bottle of, like a shot of coconut rum and put it in a drink you're making, I can't drink it. I get it. I get it.

I get it. To tie it back to the last segment, Kane Chesney now has his own rum. It's called Blue Chair. And it's, the main one is coconut. And it is much better than Malibu. So maybe you should try it or not. Probably not gonna, man. But it's really good. is coconut and it is much better than Malibu. So maybe you should try it or not. But it's really good. Do you have any liquors that like you would buy all the time

that you are now looking back on? You're like, God, I was a douche. I had a scotch face. I tried to be scotch guy in my 20s, early mid 20s. I got out of college, like, you know, the crew's like, how do we look? How do we compete in this very competitive Dallas bar scene, single scene? It's like, I know we'll put off the vibe that we're very successful by drinking Glenn Livet 12. I'm going to get the cheapest scotch you have on the menu, please. Or worse. Yeah. Looking back, that was just embarrassing.

It's not I don't hate scotch, but it's nuts I was forcing myself to drink it and I can remember taking sips and being like I don't really like it But doing it anyway, I went through a big phase I think in before I turned 20 of getting southern comfort 101. Mmm. I just thought it was like great That was during the shots days though. So Soko Lime was a good shot. It is a good shot. That was like our go to shot. Randy probably loves the song Soko Amaretto Lime.

I like, come back to me, I have to remember this thing. That's Sippin' Soko. People know what I'm talking about. Can you imagine just being with the boys though? Chilling at a rainforest cafe. All of our phones are just over, just face down. I didn't even bring mine. Dude, we're just all ordering Rasta pastas like true ballers. We play that game where we all put our phones in a basket and put it away so we can have conversation, meaningful conversation. I was thinking Floats My Boat by Ayer. A-E-R, great song. What if we get that dude's eight great men dinner,

but we just do it our own and we do it at a great man at Rainforest Cafe. So high performers like us, just sitting down at the cafe, just talking about shit. Can I do a Stamu cancel for you guys? Yes. Stamu cancel, Rainforest Cafe, Hard Rock Cafe, Planet Hollywood.

Funny, I haven't been to either of the other two. You haven't? Nope. You don't respect nothing. I don't think they had those in Chicago or at least we- They definitely had a Hard Rock Cafe. I think it's probably we never wanted- I think I've been to the Hard Rock Cafe in Chicago.

We probably never wanted to go to anywhere other than Rainforest Cafe, so we never branched out. Dude, guys like me, when it's time to go out to dinner, I want Hard Rock with my dinner. Dude, I loved going to Planet Hollywood on vacation. Dude, there's a life-size Terminator over in the corner just looking at you. You're like, holy shit. I think I stan Planet Hollywood.

I think I'm muting Rainforest Planet Hollywood. I think I'm muting Rainforest Cafe and I think I'm canceling Hard Rock Cafe. Yeah. I'm going to stand Hard Rock because I think it's the one that I've been to the most recently, but it was, you know, it's just probably in like 2000, 2002 or something. But you'd like walk to the bathroom and you're like, oh, there's a replica of the Jimi Hendrix Woodstock guitar. Yeah. Like, okay. Like, cool.

No, but Planet Hollywood, like I vividly remember the, like hanging over the stairs was like the Bonnie and Clyde car with like all the bullet holes in it. That's pretty sick. It's sick. I don't see that every day. See it's not from movies, it's kind of sick. It is. The Terminator stuff. Yeah.

Did you ever have a restaurant, this may have been just a Dallas thing called Magic Time Machine. No. Magic Time Machine, their bit was, it was all vintage like movie character decor and your waiter was like a character from a movie and they stayed in character the entire time.

I don't know if I'd like that. I feel like I would base a lot of things off of the performance of the waiter. We drove all the way to like Plano in high school on like a double date just to go there to eat like really generic food but to have like Betty Boop be our waiter. I'm looking at the Rainforest Cafe menu right now.

Why do they have St. Louis style pork spare ribs on the menu? Like there's gotta be some Caribbean places that like have much better ribs than just like labeling it St. Louis style. You could throw a coconut glaze on there. Yeah, I mean, St. Louis is clearly right in the middle of a rainforest, so.

Yeah, it is, famously. They also have Korean spicy stir fry. There are a lot of, I'm not familiar with Korea's topography. I am familiar with martial law. Yes. That doesn't seem to be going well over there. Six hours of martial law.

Yeah, yeah, you don't wanna get your martial law just overturned immediately. That's kind of the point. He stood down. I think it was probably the move. I think I'm going to go with the ribs, steak and shrimp trio. You think rainforest cafe like tried to do an entire menu of rainforest adjacent things. And then they're like, this is fucking hard. Like people want more options. We gotta just, we gotta mix it up. People want Mongolian beef. People want some different shit. You know that I was begging my parents to get the volcano cake at the very end. And we always did.

That's the Turnback UA dude. That's what Turnbackies do. We get that volcano cake. Bring it out with the sparkler and shit, make a big scene. Did they? Oh yeah. And everyone yelled volcano and then bring it to your the sparkler and shit. Make a big scene. Did they? Oh yeah. And then everyone yelled volcano.

Then bring it to your thing. It was great. Okay. I now just want to go to I want to go. I don't want to go to Rainforest Cafe unless it's with Randy. Let's take a party bus to San Antonio. I am I am down for my for my what it would be five years now six years. I don't know. Should we should we go to San Antonio for Rainforest Cafe? Let's wait till when is that? Is that spring? April. It's, it's March 17th, St. Penny's day. Let it be a Spurs game or anything in town? There will be Spurs games or I was going to go a little different direction. I was going to say, what if we do like, um, I don't know.

Meetup? SeaWorld? Okay. How do you spell it? S-E-A. Oh, okay. Yeah. I'm't know. Meet up? Sea World? Okay. Oh. How do you spell it? S-E-A. Oh, okay. Yeah, I'm very down. Or go pivot, go Fiesta, Texas. D, all the above, Dave. Go ride the Rattler. My dad got whiplash on the Rattler, true story.

Dude, we gotta go to Sea World while we still can. Yeah. If they're gonna have these animals trapped, I at least wanna make sure that they're feeling the love. I don't want empty seats in that place. If we're gonna see Sham animals trapped, I at least want to make sure that they're feeling the love. I don't want empty seats in that place. If we're gonna see Shamu, we gotta sit in like the splash zone. Oh, gotta spit in the splash zone. Second row is the move. First row, you're too close. Second row is where you really get doused with that

whale water. This is this is the inside. It's unusual whales over here. Yeah, that's right. It's so weird as a kid how you just want to be sopping wet for no reason. It's so dumb. Like going to Disney World, all I wanted to do was ride- Splash Mountain. Splash Mountain, because I wanted to get wet.

And then like when I saw another kid sopping wet, I was like, dude, why is he more wet than me right now? I want to ruin not only my day, I want to ruin my dad's day because he's going to have to drive me home. Oh, the idea now of walking around like a giant place like that with a kid who is sopping

wet from a ride sounds terrible. The ride at Six Flags, which is probably similar, the one in Arlington, I remember you go down, you hit the splash thing and the water shoots back. And if you're in the wrong seat, it'll go either, either you won't get as wet or you may not get wet at all. But there's a bridge. and if you stay on the bridge you get absolutely soaked and I can remember being like I didn't get wet enough. I've got to get on this bridge. I got to stand on the bridge and just take it. I'm sorry like

I need water to be like splashing out of my shoes as I take a step to the next. Do you remember step by step? The 90's show? Oh yeah. I think in the opening scene of that, I think like, because they're at an amusement park, I think they get soaking wet on a bridge. Oh my God. I had a crush top to bottom of every woman on that show. Every single one I was like head over heels in love with at the time. Dude, the log ride at Cedar Point,

if you've ever been on that one, is that one will get you soaked because it has the bridge thing, but also I don't know how the track works. It'll hit the water and be a giant splash. And then like it does something where it goes like down a little bit and there's a secondary, like just tidal wave that just gets everyone.

It is a big glob of water. And you can't be. Have you ever talked to a big content guy about- About roller coasters? Yeah. He's got, he's a ball knower, dude. Dude, I'm a ball knower.- About roller coasters? Yeah. He's a ball knower, dude. Dude, I'm a ball knower. You're not a ball knower.

I wrote every single roller coaster in Cedar Point. Yeah, but riding it's different than having an encyclopedic knowledge. It's okay, dude. I had a book about roller coasters. Your bit is- Yeah, he wrote the book on roller coasters. Flavored beverages, sugary drinks, and his roller coasters. You, you, your bit is, uh, flavored beverages, sugary drinks and his, his

roller coasters, Suzanne Summers. Oh, that show was incredible. This was a great show. They had the code man who was just living in a van in the backyard. That's a weird move. Yeah. He was probably doing drugs in there. They're just putting up with it.

Remember when we went to TGI Fridays in Corpus Christi? Never forget, man. Fun fact, if you're new here, Will and I used to work at this other company. We had another podcast called Touching Base. And one time TGI Fridays reached out and they're like, hey, we're kind of rebranding. We're trying to be a little cooler. We thought they were cool already. We have Bloody Marys now. That was a big selling point. And they're like, we want to drive y'all down. We're going to send a personal driver in like an Escalade, which they did. We're going to drive y'all from Austin to Corpus Christi,

which is like three and a half, four hour drive. And we're going to open this Corpus Christi location. It's like going to be the first in the country of like the new Fridays. And they just did like a deal and like we got to go and we were like influencers. I think we just got like real fucked up and got to meet the new CEO. His name was Cody.

They were taking no chip was it chip chip. Hey Chip. At one point they were like taking photos of us with professional cameras in front of the step and repeat and I was like what is going on? There's a step and repeat. I've got those photos. I was also sunburned from the EDM crews that we went on for work. I returned home from the EDM crews

and immediately went to Corpus Christi to go open a TGI Fridays. I was like, what have I done with my life? What am I doing? Yeah, well, I've got these pictures, buddy. I don't know if I want to see them. I'm not familiar. I think I was puffy. I'm like, no, we have got these pictures, buddy. I don't know if I want to see them. I'm not I think I was puffy

Yeah, I'm like no we have this new Bloody Mary concept the the bacon is candy bacon. Oh, hell yeah I guess I'm mr. Randle. It's pretty epic. I pick me all time. Mm-hmm That was a fun trip though. It was I was too tired to go out after I Had to go to the hotel. I had to get dropped off at the hotel by our driver Because I was too tired from the EDM cruise. I felt like I'm so this is wall. This is when we had the podcast Yes, so why didn't Dylan get invited? PGP thing. Oh my god was just a PGP thing. It wasn't touching bass driven Yeah, that's a Merry we had just started the podcast like two weeks before.

That's very fair. We didn't even have a name for it at this point. Is this, okay, so we got chicken wings and this Bloody Mary? I'm rocking a really dope Malar that was probably my favorite shirt at the time when I was still buttoned down tucked in a jeans guy. You get that Costco now, it's not that thing.

A slider, a celery, and then is this a bacon wrap something? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Look, this isn't the kind of Bloody Mary I'm typically ordering. Yeah. And then I think that's a bag of fries hanging off the side. You gotta have that bag of fries

hanging off the Bloody Mary. What a sign of the times that they thought the epic Bloody Mary was gonna change everything for them. So this was big like early influencer culture where like, if you had like some tricked up thing, like somebody was gonna go and order it just for the photo. And, um, they're like, yeah, we got to lean all the way into it. It did.

It's a new Fridays. Better times. Speaking of better times, what about better help? Oh, what about it? This guy, this show is sponsored by better help. I have a question, Dave, how do you stay cozy during the winter months? I know you like to get cozy. I just like to I just like to bundle up a little bit. I like sometimes I have a warm fire, but just you know, be around

friends and family. I mean, for some people, Dave, like just what you said, wrapping up in a blanket with a mug of hot cocoa, maybe watching a movie with family is the best way to spend the month of December. But guess what? Therapy is also a great way to bring yourself some comfort that never goes away, even when the season changes. I love therapy.

We talked a

little martial law earlier. Big fan of martial law. I think that's a good thing. That'd be a sick name for like a bit character. That's our punk band. Marshall. Oh, that's actually not bad. That's gotta be it. Someone's done that, right? That's like the most like mid-80s punk band name. Let's see. There is a band called Marshall Law right now. They're a New Hampshire groove metal band. Okay.

They've got 4.2K followers on Facebook. What is groove metal? Dude, it's groovy metal, man. It's a little groovier than your's a little groovy metal, buddy. That just sounds like one of those AI made up genres that you get on your day list. They they're they played a show on in March with some other bands, Dave. I don't know if you've heard of these guys.

They've got the Conqueror, Death's Hand. Oh, yeah. Grief Monger. You're a big grief. The Grief Monger was your six on I'm gonna read it. Uh death's hand. Oh yeah. Uh Grief Monger. You're a big grief. The Grief Monger was you six on your Spotify wrapped, right? Yeah, I didn't want to say that one. There's another band that's uh I can't read it because the uh

the text is so stylized with flames that it's impossible to read what the band's name actually is. That's sick. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, really good. Here's the deal. So, Dua, we're all fans of Dua here. She's in Korea, part of her tour, South Korea specifically. And word dropped yesterday. She was going down. It's going what? Going down. Okay. And we had ourselves a little martial law, okay? What's that? I feel like you flew too close to the sun here. What? The president or the guy. Um it lasted six hours.

Little worried about some like a little insurrection. A little little revolt happening. Six hours of military rule. Gotta get them in there. Parliament votes 190 to zero to lift martial law and they were gone. 190 to zero is not how you want the vote to go if you're the guy who called for it. No, you got skunked. You got run ruled in parliament.

That's a landslide. It's a land, it is a hundred votes in or you like come on one. You got somebody. Just one dude. You're like, hey Mark, Mark, are you not, Mark's not rocking with me. So I'm not rocking with you're trying to make eye contact with your boy and he's just A dude fucking look at me. He sends he sends you a text. He's not you sent him a jiff and slack

Yeah, so anyway, it looked like shit was going down uh noted ally south korea Um, and just like whoa, this is kind of crazy. I don't know. And you see do is there and people are like, oh, fuck, do is there. I wonder if she's doing the thing on the microphone where she anyway, probably is. I hope. Hopefully. I got it saved.

And people are like, oh my God, she's there. And she's like, she's kind of stuck there. Like she can't do anything Come to find out she ended up performing But it probably got a little dicey for her a little bit Okay, okay, and That's kind of where it ends except Yesterday I'm here at the office will Will had to go home and relieve Sally.

Sally was up here doing the mail in. Dylan had left. Randy's in here producing, so Brett's in here. They're doing the mail in. So I'm out there by myself. The back of, so my desk face is out. So if you walk out of our studio, the first thing you see is me and my computer. Correct.

So I put this in the rundown and I'm like, well, I put Dua Lepa possibly stuck in Korea. I'm like, okay, well, I'm going to put a link to it. So in case Will wants to look and read into it, whatever. So I go, I did the one thing, this is so dumb. I went on Twitter and just searched Dua L Lipa. It's a horny play. The horniest. And I'm like not finding anything. And I'm like, what's going on? Well, Twitter search recently doesn't give you like the most relevant stuff.

It gives you very popular things from like any time. And you know, I follow Dua Lipa on several social media networks. And I think most of the stuff that I see is like, album drops from her on Instagram where it's just pictures of her shows. But on Twitter, it seems to be just a lot of videos

of her grinding microphones. Yeah, it's a big player. So anyway, I'm like scrolling down the TL and it's very, very, very hot Dua Lipa pick after very, very hot Dua Lipa pick after a very, very hot Dua Lipa pick. And all of a sudden I hear a very, very large door to the studio open. And I'm like, oh, and I like click. I like click like the home button or something on Twitter. I try to get out of it real quick.

And like Sally walks by, she's going out to her car to get her purse or something. And I was just like, oh fuck. I just got sniped. She just thinks I'm in here perving out by myself. So I immediately slack will, I'm like, all right. I got that on my drive home and I was like, oh, Dave's going through it right now. I don't even know if she noticed it.

She would have said something to me if she noticed it. But the way I instinctively clicked out of it, it was very much like you're on your parents' desktop in like 1997, looking at something you're not supposed to be and you just, oh, oh, oh. And I was like, why did I do that? Like that just made it 10 times worth.

Now, like Will said, I don't think she saw it, but it was just, it was a really like, it was a really embarrassing moment for me. Embrace your horniness, Dave. Dude, it was a really embarrassing moment. Yeah, embrace your horniness, Dave. Dude, it was not, I was actually doing research for the show. I've come to find out there's not a story on it really because she never actually got stuck there. No, no. Not like the stepsister. No, not stuck in a dryer.

If you were looking at photos of Charlie Hall, noted LPGA golfer, you would have gotten called out from her because that seems to be the only time I get called out from Sally these days. She doesn't understand I'm a student of the game. Well, that's because you just stare at it and drool. No, I'm looking for swing tips. How mad is she gonna be? I can't recreate like Dustin Johnson's swing.

That's too athletic for me. Like I need Charlie Hall's swing. That's more contained and fine-tuned, you know Charlie's gonna end up on a scariest post and you're just gonna have to deal with it. I Don't know what you know what I mean? Like I'll deal with the fallout. I'll deal with the fallout Just tell her she's in the geist. I mean she gets dope malbon fits off and smoke cigarettes. Her good looks are simply not even in my my my brain. I didn't even know she was good looking. Did we discover her like uh you or Dan? Who vicariously discovered

Paige? Me. And then Dan posted it. Dan you you told Dan like, dude, check this. Dan. Okay. No, no, no. So, she's got a good swing and she's hot. Dan, Dan found Paige and was going to make her like TFM babe of the day or something and then II, I was in the bullpen at Grand Ex and I saw her golf swing and I was like, dude, she needs like, you need to just do like a a column on her. Like, this is is the this is a beautiful golf swing I feel like you don't need to make like I feel like there's other babes of the day

Like she has a tangible skill that you can hone in on And uh dan wrote like a standalone column about it And then suddenly she got like a hundred thousand followers in one day. She was playing college golf at the time I think yeah, I think so and this is dan during his like this might have been dirty bulk dan He was probably wearing a tank top when he wrote the column. This is Dan like armpit hair, very visible in the office, wearing a tank top. Like that last bead of sweat, you're just watching to see if it's going to fall on his mouse. Just, just Dan it, Dan at his best, but also Dan at his like office worst.

I don't think, I don't think Dan would confirm this story by the way. I don't, I think he would deny me the nod that I gave her. Well, dude, I'm telling you, Bush has thrown his hat in for, Bush claims to have discovered her in some capacity. Hey, I can see Bush and I tag team and Dan being like, hey, you gotta do this. I'd probably watch.

Yeah. Yep. You'd watch. We could do it in Randy's tent. Okay. These are all friends of mine. right Randy you too good for that Yeah, what's your problem? Randy's sicko? Hey kind of friend. Are you you're not a friend? Okay, I

Don't think Sally cares who I follow on like any Instagram Like thing at all, but for some reason Charlie Hall just just rattles it. Is Charlie Hall more gettable? She's a, Charlie Hall's my Joe Burrow. Yeah, Sally does like Joe Burrow. She checks a lot of boxes for you. She sees a golfer, she's very beautiful. She's British, right? That's probably the one.

It's the British. Yeah, she's scared. Joe Burrow bought the Batmobile. Did you see that? No, I did not. $3 million Batmobile. Why would you. It's the British. Yeah, she's scared. Joe Burrow bought the Batmobile. Did you see that? No, I did not. $3 million Batmobile. Why would you? That's so dumb.

No, that's awesome. Don't tell Sally. How mad are you gonna be when Sally's riding around the Batmobile with Joe Burrow? She's like at a work conference and she posts a photo on her story from a Batmobile. Oh no. Like wait, what?

Huh? Does he pull up to the games in the Batmobile now? That'd be sick. That would be sick. Why didn't you buy it? You're a big Batman guy. I mean, I'm not the biggest Batman guy. Yeah, he bought a $2.9 million Batmobile.

You just don't see that every day. Dude, did he? I mean, you know what I bought? What? I bought the really long barreled pistol from the Jack Nicholson Joker that he pulls out and tries to shoot down the batwing. Did you get that at Planet Hollywood? That was definitely at Planet Hollywood.

There had to have been a Batman suit at Planet Hollywood. Oh, I think that's like the first thing you see when you walk in. Exactly. That's like the spiral staircase going to when you walk in. Exactly, like that's like, the spiral staircase going to the upstairs is going around the Batman suit. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about. Playing Hollywood rules.

Yeah, t-shirts are goated. I had Hard Rock Cafe t-shirts. I had a few. I had a few. I felt really cool rocking those in seventh grade. Those have been commandeered by like the ironic people in the world though. Who now like they just buy like the ones online

from like random places. Yeah, didn't you want to make a hard on cafe shirt at the wash shop? I think it was actually just hard cock cafe. Yeah, that's what it was. It was a little more on the nose. Arabian goggles. A little more on the cock, I see.

Okay, don't say that on this podcast. He just said Arabian goggles. Okay little more on the cock. I see. Okay. Don't say that on this podcast. He just said Arabian goggles.

These kind of stories make me so sad. There's a British man who now has a quote unquote

finely tuned plan to find a 500 million pound Bitcoin that he threw away. It's not like he threw the Bitcoin away, but he threw away the thumb drive with the information regarding this, the wallet of sorts. I don't know how all that works. Like I have the Bitcoin wallet. I know that you have to have a very long passcode

in order to get in. Like a very long passcode. Yeah. Can you imagine having the foresight to buy some Bitcoin early on in the game only to have it worth about 500 million pounds now, which I assume is more in USD dollars, Randy to have it worth about 500 million pounds now, which I assume is more in USD dollars, Randy.

And then you accidentally throw away the information to that wallet. I don't know how you go on living at that point. I don't know how you get beyond that. It's almost like every day you're thinking about that alternate timeline where you actually didn't throw it away and you are a multimillionaire. He's not even the one who threw it away. That is really, his partner threw it away.

That's real tough. They must took the bag for rubbish and just dumped it. Dude, I hate when people dump my rubbish. I hate it when they dump my rubbish, dude, in the bin. I would break up with that person out of'd just spite like imagine what our life could be if you didn't Throw that stuff away. I would think about it like everything as I went and got in my Generic like at my minivan or whatever. I drive

Get in like I could be driving a Batmobile right now If you're the person who if you're the person who threw it away You know, you're losing every argument in that relationship from there on. Every argument is gonna end with, well, maybe you shouldn't have thrown the Bitcoin thumb drive away. We'd be swimming in 500 million pounds right now.

All the pounds. You thought it was rubbish. Far from it. They said that anything that goes into the landfill goes into the council's ownership He offered money to the people looking for it like I think the trash people and whoever else was involved the council and said that like y'all can have like a Chunk of this but we need to find it The council I

Think I think they're using a lot of words that I think are more normal in British culture. Is that like the Senate or something like that? Or is that like, is there a trash council? I think it's the city council, like the Newport city council. That makes sense. Yeah.

They know if there's a trash council, that'd be kinda cool. It's said at Cardiff Civil and Family Court, Howell was represented by a team of lawyers working pro bono for his battle With the council the authority is seeking in order to strike out how his case before it can reach any full trial at the high court They're just trying to say it's ours now How I Would be making like IOUs to everyone

I know just hoping that I eventually find this thumb dress. The trash is just sitting there. Have you ever thrown something out and just never been able to find it? Like anything that's stuck with you? What do you mean? Like something I mistakenly threw out? Yeah. I don't think so. I'm pretty careful. I've lost a few things that have probably been thrown out. But yeah, I can think of one.

I didn't throw it out. Bloody sock? Your partner did. No, my sixth grade science teacher did because we were doing earth sciences that year and my family had a bunch of like ash from Mount St. Helens because my aunt and uncle lived in Seattle time and like got a bunch of like ash from Mount St. Helens because my aunt and uncle lived in Seattle time

and like got a bunch for everyone. And I brought it in because of like, oh, I showed it off. And like, we talked about it. She accidentally threw it away. Real sick. What a bitch. Yeah. She's like, I should pay you back?

No, I don't know. I don't know what to do about it. My dad once, we were in Mexico for spring break when I was in seventh grade and we were at the airport and they started offering vouchers to people to get off the flight because they'd overbooked everything. And this was before the electronic system,

like apps, accounts, things like that. So the vouchers they gave us were thousand dollar vouchers per person. And this is in when I'm in seventh grade. I mean, a thousand dollars, a lot of money per person. They gave him the vouchers and they look like plane tickets. They're printed on the exact same thing.

And they just have like a code. They just have whatever it's your voucher now. And my dad left them on the plane thinking that they were the plane tickets that we didn't need anymore. So someone just stumbled upon those and probably just lifted $4,000 worth of plane vouchers. All of those all of you guys not just one.

But I'd also left our mini DVD player on the plane. You remember like the portable DVD player. I do. He bought like the first one ever before people had before it was normal to even have DVD players. He just thought it was so cool that he bought the flip up screen portable. Yep. He left that on a plane on our way home from vacation and somehow got it back. He just left it in the overhead compartment. Dad just get smoked. Oh, yeah.

Dads are always losing shit and smoke for it. Like when Sally and I are traveling with the kids. I'm like, hey, take the boys off the plane and get them off and I'll come back with all the luggage. I'll get all the luggage out of the overhead compartment, whatever. There's going to be a time where I forget something and we cannot get back on that plane to do it if we still operate like this. I need to start shifting the blame to her, not me. Yeah, I probably have had this happen.

What's your process for throwing out like a toy, like Fritz, a toy of Fritz's that like is probably broken or when he doesn't use anymore and that you do tell him like, Hey, no, you just got to do it. No. If it's like a broken or chewed up toy and it's like, I can't donate it or I can't save it to use for like a future kid, like Charlie's not gonna want it, then I will just sneak that thing and pitch it.

Yeah. Sorry. Sorry, that's just how, that's just how. You just gotta hope they don't ask for it. Exactly. And if they do, you just gotta be like, look dude, that thing sucked. The sound didn't work.

The baby's gonna like chew the wheel off of it. I always tell, sometimes I just tell Fritz, dude, don't watch this show. This show stinks. He doesn't grasp things stinking. He just thinks everything is dope. But I'll just tell him, dude, this show is not good. You gotta turn this off. Yeah.

The Ukrainian kids who have the show, the like Diana and whatever that he's somehow forgotten about, which is huge for me. That's one where I draw the line. I get like mad about it. I'm like, this show is so bad. Why do these kids have this show? They did like a study recently on some shows where,

I forget the terminology that they used but it's essentially like there are certain parts of certain shows on Netflix that are geared toward kids where they have just like zone out periods like kids are much more likely to zone out and just lock into the screen during these things and like once I saw that, I was like, yeah, I know exactly which shows make him do that and I want to never have him watch these. Were you out on Miss Rachel? I actually, we didn't utilize Miss Rachel.

We're doing it for Sammy more. I've been told that it's very valuable in terms of development in a lot of ways. Like it actually works. And so now I'm much more intrigued by it. I don't really think Sammy's getting anything out of it other than like focusing on it. Like, oh, this lady talks to me,

talks like to me like I'm a baby. No, but people that have used it in the past. I've heard very good things about her She's good and she's got a she's like the dude perfect of Child yeah, right stuff like she's she's killing it About reddit like has just perved out on her for no reason. Oh, there's probably real totally unjustifiably pervy for yeah Randy sent me some shit. This is a big. he's a big Daniel Tiger guy these days. Okay I'm okay with anything on PBS. PBS is good When that Sturgill show coming out though. Yeah, that's the real question. That's the question

It should have came out by now. No, I don't know. I keep checking there aren't season 50 releasing those episodes Was it two months ago? Probably a month ago. A month ago. Oh, yeah, I don't know. We'll get it eventually. I think it's time. Bro, let's go out this weekend. There's a crazy event happening. I'd like to turn off. Bro, bro, bro, there's a crazy event happening.

Dave, what are you getting into this weekend? Man, we've kind of entered a winter wet pattern almost. rainy today supposed to be cool and rainy through the weekend, which I'm not really mad about. We need we needed something a little bit different. Yeah, I'd prefer like 68 and sunny, but we needed the rain first and foremost. So a lot of indoor activities.

I think we've got a dinner we might be going to Saturday evening. I think we might be hitting Sammy's. Ooh. The restaurant. Ooh. Maybe. But maybe.

What's the order? Piccata. I really like how they do their piccata. It's so good, Dave. Yeah. I know Chicken Piccata Summer might've started as a bit, even though like, piccata rules., but like every time I go there I'm reminded that it might be one of my favorite entrees in Austin, Texas. It's very well done. They do a really

good job there. Other than that, very low-key, there's some new restaurants over in Breton Eyes, Neck of the Woods, and I kind of just want to go, there's an I'm really low key. There's some been sipping that pinot. Cabernet's been giving me a tum tum issue lately. Really? I feel nauseous after him for some reason. It's a little too heavy on the tanis. I've pivoted to the pinot. Some light reds and I've been enjoying them. Oh. Well, pinot pivot, Randy. I don't know. Maybe I'll just drink mead. We'll see if they've got it. I hope so. Well, they let me ask at lunch yesterday. I told you to ask. You guys went and ate fish and chips

and you wanted to order mead. Yeah. Why didn't you just ask? Oh no. You didn't want to embarrass Will? Yeah. He was paying for your meal. Yeah.

I mean, last time I asked while Will was paying, the guy was ecstatic that I asked. He was disappointed that they did not have any. Just waiting for someone to ask. He was so excited that Randy asked. He's like, no, dude, Meade is so good. So good. God damn.

He like lit up. I've interacted with that guy tens of times at that location. He has worked there for a long time. I used to go there once a week and he would normally be the guy that takes my order. I have never seen him look as happy as he looked when you asked if they had Meade there. It's magic of mead, man.

Brings people together. How do you, did you ask him or think about asking him, like, do you rent fare? Bro, am I gonna see you at the rent? That guy would be a problem with the rent fare. He's jacked. Probably. Dude, I can't wait for the next rent fare, man.

That's one thing that gets me giddy nowadays. It's the only thing I have in my life going for me. Oh, okay. This guy lives his life one ren fair at a time. The ren fair is, that's, the sphere is my ren fair. Yeah. Today's ren fair day for me. Oh yeah. Got not a lot going, man.

I'm gonna be hanging out. We got a big college football weekend, Friday night, Saturday. So yeah, be doing that. Maybe I'll, I don't know. We'll see if he might want to get out and watch some of these, uh, these old ball games. But Randy just said, no, well, I wasn't really thinking Randy, but you just said like two weeks ago that you like, you're in on college football because. No, I'm not.

I just said that I'm a Longhorns guy now. Hook them. You said, you said you like it as a social activity. No, you'm not. I just said that I'm a Longhorns guy now. Hook him. I played Orange. You said you like it as a social activity. No. You did tell me that. I know. I think that's quite opposite. I hate it as a social activity.

Well, you're off my list. Okay. That's why I didn't come to hang out with you guys when you went to go watch Ole Miss. Good. Didn't need you there. Good. No room at the table.

You've been staying in awkwardly. Sure. Will, what about you? I am going to the great state of Tennessee. Sally and I went last year around this time, we decided we were gonna run it back this year and kind of just doing nothing, just absolutely chilling, just lamping out.

I mean, what I'll probably be doing mostly is just eating big meals and walking around taking film photos, but Yeah, I don't really know. I have the earliest flight known to man tomorrow You ready for this flight time sure 515 It's early. What time do you have to get like what time you have to get up to get a 515 flight 345 You're gonna clock just was gonna say 330. I'm gonna go to sleep, Randy. That would be a reckless decision.

I can barely keep my eyes open after 10 p.m. What do you think I'm doing staying up till three? They're gonna sleep at 10. It's gonna be one of those nights where I take something, go to sleep, hit some Tony gummies or something, then I wake up at 11 p.m. Oh, I have to wake up in four hours.

Then I wake up at midnight. I gotta wake up in three hours. I gotta get this sleep.m. I have to wake up in like four hours. Then I wake up at midnight. I gotta wake up in three hours. I gotta get this sleep. Damn. It's gonna be bad. Tony gummies, the Italian? Oh, whoa. Hey, got some gummies. Militoni.

I don't know, I kinda wanna do a fly fishing excursion, but the weather is quite cold for that. I'm worried I'm gonna get denied. I think you can swing it. Like how cold? 40s? High in the low 40s. Can you not fly fish when it's that cold?

No, I just think it's mainly that the guides who they might set you up with don't wanna take people out at that time. I get it. Like I totally understand. That sounds terrible. Yeah, the only thing we actually have on the docket is doing a wine tasting.

Okay. I can't wait to get nauseous. Sorry, I'm stuck on melotony. That's melatonin over there. He's calm but he'll put you to sleep forever. That's pretty good. Yeah. I think it could take some workshopping but I like the direction that you're headed. Spooky season next year. Melatonin. Maybe you'll join us. This weekend, Dave. Ah, good question. I wanna say it is the oh

Thursday game Packers Packers, but yeah hosting the Packers, right? Um, yes. Sorry I did the soccer thing where the home team is always first. That's okay. Yeah, I Feels like a loseable game Thank you, all right, you're good injuries weird scheduling Now you're good a hungry Packers team at nine and three. So I what did you say the game was? tomorrow 715 I'll be watching the all 22 on Amazon. Yeah Because that's what I do. You like to see what's really going on

So have you seen this thing on Amazon that they have like a I don't know how actual this is because I just saw one video But you can go to like different streams that they have including the all 22 but they have a stream where they identify every guy on the field with their name okay and like I kind of think they should do that all the time uh I have not seen that but that's probably very helpful it the video that I saw that looked incredible like it was it was very well done um it just had like little circles under everybody with their names out there and I would love to do that as a I'm I don't fashion myself to be a ball knower when it comes to the ins and outs of football I never played one single snap I can't read a defense

that's okay they still I can complain about P.I. though. Yeah, they still do like the Toy Story stuff and uh the Nickelodeon. Aren't they doing a Simpsons? The Simpsons one is actually Monday night. That Cowboys Bengals. That kind of rules. There's a Simpsons broadcast or some kind of Simpsons tie in. Like imagine imagine watching a highlight of you like hitting like trying to hit a game winning field goal and you hit the upright then like they just have like don't yeah, it's just like what okay? cody parky double dough double dough

Oh Imagine like having time on the clock and then it runs out and they pan to your coach and don't Yeah, i'm gonna have a good weekend. Bye They panned to your coach and oh, yeah, I'm gonna have a good weekend. Bye Okay, I didn't watch that was the most bears I've watched all season Sorry, it ruined your thanksgiving.
