I'm also live in Austin, Texas, To my right, Dave Ruff. My name's Dave Ruff. I'm also live in Austin, Texas, and I'm back on my butter coffee. Wow. Yeah. What kind of butter you put in there? Carrie butter.

Carrie gold. Yeah. Unsalted, grass-fed. Yeah. You have to. I was just making sure. Why would you even ask that? I was just making sure.

Okay. I'm sorry, but. I didn't know. I didn't know if you were, like, optimizing with some other kind of, like, alternative. I'm a Carrie but... I didn't know. I didn't know if you were, like, optimizing with some other kind of, like, alternative. I'm a Kerrygold guy myself. Kerry's the... I would never have another butter than Kerrygold. Wow.

I'm a Kerry guy. You're like... You just like the branding. Running for president, call me John Kerry. No one's calling you John Kerry. Nobody's calling me John Kerry. Dylan. I don't know what y'all are even talking about.

Hey, y'all see this picture of Micah and Randy Travis, by the way? Why is Micah calling himself El Guapo? First of all, no one's doing pictures like this. Randy Travis could look more put out to be taking this picture with Micah. He's absolutely eating. He's all up in his business. He's basically in his lap. Micah takes up 80% of the frame of this picture.

You know Randy Travis isn't doing well. I think he may just kind of have that demeanor now. Really? But Mike is eating him. Who is this creep taking a picture with me demeanor? It's a weird photo.

And I'll be honest, I don't really want to speak that man's name because he definitely big time, myself and our friend Ross Bolin, at dinner. I don't think you should bring up this dinner on this podcast, though. Can I wait till... Well, we have this past weekend in fun if you can bring it can i table it

well i'm just saying like dylan and i we're sitting here with like our fingers up our butts just like wondering what's going on on friday night randy travis are you his his in this picture his spine is like like 20 degrees off center because micah's like pushing him it's like he's pushing him over almost you know i heard his back right why you keep coming really digging up bones stop dude he's digging up bone micah micah so for for new listeners circling back podcast micah's our old producer and still good friend he's also my neighbor uh his head has grown micah some things you need to know about him

uh he's the cockiest guy in the world whether that's justified or not we'll leave that up to you uh he has a massive head both physically and mentally uh he also has been calling himself el guapo lately on social media which that is not going to catch on. When did this start? This is the first time I've seen him use that. He used it with another one with the kickboxing dude or MMA dude. I don't know anything about that man. He used the same caption on Instagram story too just now

by the way. Oh, I saw the guy he fought. His name escapes me. Whole Foods over the weekend. Nice. Sean? Sean, sean yeah it's just nice guy he did you talk to him yeah he is a nice guy he will also beat the shit out of you yeah he will he i don't talk muscular feller he is if you want to go see people you know just go to the whole foods in downtown austin i don't go there because i kept seeing the same people every time, and it got to be awkward.

This is what the South Austin one, by the way. Oh, wow. Yeah. Look at you. It's close to my crib, man. Dave, too. I thought about heading there the other day, but I didn't. You know, I just go to Central Market now in lieu of Whole Foods.

Central Market's a great place. It's pretty much the only place I go. It's a little bit easier for me. It's the only place I go. Stop. foods central market's a great place it's pretty much it's a little bit easier for me just the only place i go stop hey if you guys want to share where you buy your upscale groceries just hit us up let us know last uh last episode on friday on patreon oh well actually let's let's circle back a little bit oh see you hear that you did it follow circling back on twitter and instagram first and foremost circling back pod uh also if you haven't already, make sure to subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. If there are other platforms you want, let us know.

I have already gotten us approved on Stitcher. So if you're a Stitcher person, go do it. I will say this. Google Play that has podcasts, they're absolute trash. I'm trying to get us on there. Once you sign in and you go to the place where you submit it, it goes to a dead site. So if anyone that works at Google is listening,

maybe, I don't know, Brittany T from The Bachelor, maybe fix this because we're trying to get our podcast on Google Play. We need to have Brittany T come back in. She's always been a fun guest. Yeah, we can get her. Yeah. Also, as you may or may not know, every single Friday,

we're releasing an episode on Patreon. For the price of a $5 footlong, you can get these episodes. Patreon has amazed me thus far. The app is incredible. It's so easy to use, man. It's amazing. And they just cleared a Billy.

I saw that. As a company. Wait, we did? No, we didn't yet. Oh. We're still working on our first millie actually but uh patreon they're doing a billy the all the patrons the total whatever it is it's a billy you know i actually found out it's actually not patrons it's their patrons wow does our friend

We're new Maybe we should drop like Some scandalous photos I think she does something Is that what she does She does like VIP photos I think people would be much More satisfied if you just

I don't know maybe you told the name of a certain cat that you own if we reach how many patrons for me to do that three it's gonna be three thousand patrons yeah that's four that's fair three four i want it sooner than later let's go three three it's so embarrassing i don't get it it's so bad dude unless it's okay the only thing i can think of is that the that i wouldn't want to share if you had some like racist cat no it's not i know it's not but like that would be the only thing i wouldn't want to share it's not your cat is it like you didn't say you're on record saying that the name of the cat is not racist it's not no not

even close okay it's just like oh god that's really uncomfortable to hear and say i have no clue what it could possibly be. The thing is... There's a lot of buildup, too. So you're not going to be expecting to be blown away, and it might under-deliver, which I hope is not going to happen. The thing is, I've probably met this cat. Yeah, you've been out there.

I've been in its presence, and it didn't stick with me. I probably didn't say the name of the cat. I'm like, oh yeah, that's our cat. Gene loved cats. Gene did love cats. Really? I always thought Gene was the name of the cat. I'm like, oh yeah, that's our cat. Gene loved cats. Gene did love cats. Really? I always thought Gene was more of a dog guy. He loved dogs too.

He loved everything. Randy made a friend over the weekend. That's big. You know what? I'll send him a table. It's this time. It's time for it. It's time for it.

This previous weekend in fun? Yes. Because we did not do it on the Patreon episode, which we messed up. Actually, this weekend in fun is going to move from Patreon to our normal episodes on Wednesday. It's going to move to Wednesday. Starting in February. But we forgot to do it. We were just so lit on voicemails that we kind of forgot to do a lot that day.

So without further ado, this past weekend in fun. Dave, do you want to start off since I've been telling you to delay for the past couple times? What was the first thing I tabled? Micah Big Timing. Our old producer, Micah Big Timing. Oh, yeah. So a friend of ours.

You mean El Guapo? Not El Guapo. I'm not going to call him that. Went to dinner Friday night. Matt's El Rancho. We talk about it quite a bit. If you've been here for a while, you're probably sick of that place

and want us to try a different place. We will. Probably not going to happen. So we go, and it's like four couples, and we're just sitting there and noted podcaster and New York Times bestselling author,

W.R. Bolin, known to many as Bill Bolin. He was there as well, sitting across from me. We were just shooting the shit, eating chips and salsa, having a good time. We look over. We're in the back room, and Micah walks by with his girlfriend, Caitlin.

And we expect him to come say what's up, because Micah produces Ross's podcast. Did he wave to you at all? He gave us, he had a drink in his hand, which he broke sober January, which I'm not judging. That's fine. He said he was, just to be clear,

he did say he was going to break it like way in advance. He looked at us, raised it like, kind of almost like in a cheers fashion and gave us like a nod and a half-ass wink, like an awkward wink and walked outside. And that was it. And we were like, what the hell was that?

I respect it. Sometimes you got a big time people. It's like, why wouldn't you come say hi? I mean, like Ross is kind of, I mean, is Ross Mike is boss. I feel like he,

if he's not, he, he kind of is, but I feel like, I feel like Mike would take issue with that. Well, um, okay.

It's a, it's a, Matt's all Rancho. If, I mean, it's a Tex-Mex restaurant that's made for gathering. I saw an old friend who I hadn't seen in, I'm not kidding, probably seven years. I saw her there the other day. It's the most social restaurant.

It made me so happy. I was walking by the bar. She doesn't live here. And I looked over at the bar and I was like, I think that's her. I walked over and I gassed her up. I was so happy. It's gotten to the point where if I go there, I think that's her. I walked over and I gassed her up. I was so happy. It's gotten to the point where if I go there and I don't run into someone I know, or at least backers for that matter, I'm extremely disappointed.

And it rarely ever happens. Do you think that as a group, a friend group, not a podcast group, not a company, do you think as a group we need to branch out and go to different restaurants more? Absolutely. It's not that I'm sick of this one particular restaurant, but even the times when we're like, all right, we're not going to go to Matt's, we're going to go somewhere else,

I'm sick of these places too. They're all solid places. I would bring people there, but as a group, I think we can do better. We need to branch out. We don't have that much variety in our lives anymore. We're old. We're washed, if you will.

And there's other there's other styles of cuisine you did the thing again I did the thing again there's other types of cuisine besides Tex-Mex yeah

sure but but that is a perfect like casual group spot to go it's the perfect place like you're not gonna spend a lot of money there

it doesn't take a reservation that needs to be made on fucking Tuesday. Yeah. Which in Austin now, you have to make your reservations as early as your damn tea time. They don't even take resis there. And it's always cheap, but I just feel like we can be better. Come up with something. I'm all ears.

Okay. I'll make it a Q1 priority for myself. What did you do this past weekend in fun? Your boy didn't do that much. On Friday night, I watched the Ted Bundy tapes. And I'll be honest. I feel the same. I'm glad you didn't come in here completely torqued for it.

It was fine. I don't know why we needed it. Yeah. It didn't come in here with like completely torqued for it. It, it was fine. I don't know why we needed it. Yeah. It didn't break any. There's no new revelation. I guess. So as somebody who didn't know a ton about it before, I didn't realize how long he had escaped from jail for the second time.

So that blew my mind a little bit, but I kind of feel like it could have been like a two hour documentary as opposed to a, you know, four epi, four to five hour, four episode thing. Yeah. I agree with that. It would have been a a two-hour documentary as opposed to a, you know... Four-epi? Four to five-hour, four-episode thing. Yeah, I agree with that. It would have been a really cool, like, two-hour documentary.

And now Twitter just wants to know if he's hot or not. Just to be clear, he's hot for a serial killer. It's kind of like... I don't know. He's got a good sense of fashion. He's got charisma. He got that turtleneck off, though, right? He does have a face... He got that turtleneck off though, right? He does have a face.

He got that turtleneck off. He does have a face though that does morph. Did y'all see John Calipari's son in that turtleneck on the bench? No. Alright, continue. I'm going to pull it out

because you're going to die. I mean, Saturday, I actually went to the park for like a really long time. Just played fetch. Why don't you ever invite Randy to the park park that's kind of messed up i mean we so just to be as transparent as possible i almost invited you but we were kind of like ready to go and i was like by the time like we like iron out this plan it's gonna be forever that's fair

oh calipari's son killed it. Oh my god. He's got a chain outside the turt? No one's doing that anymore. Are people doing turt? I've never heard of that. Is that? I don't know if we're doing turt. He's got a chain outside the T-neck, man. He's also got a pretty fresh fade there.

That's too faded. He needs to chill. Yeah. On Saturday, I also did something I've never done. And this is my final thing of this past weekend in fun. Your boy made short ribs. Dude, how'd that go? It went really, really well.

What I didn't know about short ribs, because I've always eaten them at restaurants in much smaller quantities, is that they're meant to be eaten in a small quantity. Yeah. They are fatty as hell and also very rich. Did it kick you into ketosis? I immediately was in ketosis.

By the end of it, it felt like I was just eating shards of metal because I had that metallic thing so much. I think I actually have the keto flu right now. So you're just riding the lightning. Mm-hmm. Damn.

What did Dylan do? Friday, I didn't do much. The homie and I just chilled. Got some cartoons off. i saw the homie at the park oh yeah he went to the park uh yesterday yeah yeah it looked like he was leaving so i was like i'm not gonna hassle him you know yeah i'm gonna wait did you big time the homie no what he he actually well guapo the homie he might have big time me really yeah but he was just chilling and i was like dude he's probably playing with dogs and he was like far far away. He got scary close to a puddle when they were walking out.

And I was like, dude. Oh, no. Don't get dirty. Did he have his J's on? I couldn't tell. Okay. I didn't see. Like I said, he was really far away.

But I was like, oh, that's the homie. Dude, the homie's out doing stuff, man. Yeah. So Friday, I didn't do much. Saturday, I had a little first date action. Really? Yeah. It was fun.

Really good time. What's her at? We're not doing that. We're not doing ads? We're not doing ads today. It was fun. Fun enough that there will be a date number two.

Really? Yeah. Did you take her to Matt's El Rancho for some Tex-Mex? No, we went... You know where I go for my first dates. Yeah, I do. Where is that?

And then... I'm not... It doesn't matter. Well, I do. Where is that? And then... I'm not... It doesn't matter. Well, you just brought it up. And then Sunday... Why are you being coy? What are you doing? Don't bring it up then.

Don't be coy, homie. Sunday, I played with a little puppy. So... All right. So I was with a friend, Sid. Y'all know Sid. I was with a friend

and we came... We were... What? No, I'm just... Uh-huh. I was with a friend and we came, we were, what? No, I'm just, uh-huh. And there's this dog that needed to be adopted at a store.

And we're like, oh shit, this dog's tight. So we took him for the day and we're playing with him and stuff. And I'm thinking about getting a dog.

It's not the right time yet, but I'm like, I'm probably within a year away. I got some breaking news for you. What? There's about to be a bunch of Randys

available in february oh dude from the randy's bloodline are you serious i'm dead serious ken to randy yeah wow like like brother situation sister i believe so it's like an older brother dude okay randy's the older i wish wish Randy was my older brother But I ended up not keeping the dog But Sid's friends were We met with them and they have Already have a dog, they have a little baby They're a married couple and they're like

Do we want the dog? So the dog has a home Great ending to the story I was worried about that If I end up not keeping this dog I don't bring it back to the foster home. That's not cool. I was, you know, some guilt was riding.

Wow. But yeah, great weekend. Great. I did. I actually alluded to this last night when I did my Sunday Scaries Panic Room. Rosie actually got a bum paw this weekend. She has an issue with her paw.

I don't know where she got it, but it looks like almost a blister on the inside of one of the pads on her foot. It's real raw. She got a little burr in there? See, no. It looks like a blister that you would get on the back of your foot

when you're wearing blisters. Do blisters are underrated in how much they stink? I hate blisters. We took her to get a little trim because she was getting pretty I don't know

pretty wild and her feet had the Grinch feet going on where the hair was going oh yeah I think it might have been the person that did the trimming and they didn't say anything

to us about it oh damn did you do a mobile groomer or did you no no we have one we have one downtown that we've been using and I don't think I'm ever

going to use them again because upon further review I don't see how she could have possibly gotten this on her own and so i just want to i just want to let people know that you should inspect your dog's feet after it gets trimmed damn you probably shouldn't i'm never going there again though what the fuck i'm always afraid to trim dog's nails man yeah me too i apparently can really hurt them if you do it too low. I feel the same. You can make them bleed.

So I took Randy around the block a couple times yesterday on a longer walk on concrete trying to trim up his nails. That's a good way to do it, actually. Because I normally take him to the park, but that doesn't have the same effect, you know? And another thought, business idea. Do you guys want to open a bar called The Foster Home and we just serve Australia's own fosters, Australian for beer?

And we just have a lot of dogs? That's the only kind of beer that we serve? Yeah, it's The Foster Home. It's The Foster Home. I mean, I feel like you're really narrowing down the clientele there. Have you ever had a foster's? I don't think I ever have. And the bartender is Texas State's own or Southwest Texas' own Jeff Foster.

Wow. I would also allow Bree from The Bachelor to be our bartender as well, considering she is Australian. Is she? Oh, that's right. She's bilingual. Should I update that people won't happen with that? That's your call. Please do. I wasn't going to bring it up, but if you want to.

You casually name dropped like eight girls already. but if you want to... You casually name-dropped like eight girls already. No, we were having some fun the other night on Twitter talking about me flirting with Bree from The Bachelor or whatever. So I did DM her. And there was a brief back and forth the other night. And it felt flirtatious

or whatever, but then she was just like... I feel like she baited me into asking her to hang out. Like she kind of did. I'll show you. Good for her. You can tell me what you think. You can't screenshot it because it tells people.

Yeah, which is unfortunate. She baited me into asking her to hang out. I was like, okay. So I did, and then she just read it and didn't respond. And that's the end of the Brie saga. Well, she knows what she's doing. Yeah. Where does she live? What's her home base? She lives in L.A. I'm not going to hang out with a girl. I mean, it doesn't respond. And that's the end of the Bree saga. Well, she knows what she's doing. Yeah. Where does she live?

What's her home base? She lives in L.A. I'm not going to hang out with a girl. I mean, it doesn't matter. L.A.'s tight. Yeah, well, I live in Texas. So. By the way, for you guys who are new here, L.A., Los Angeles.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Wow. Mm-hmm. It's the City of Angels, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's what they say. I believe so. Randy's got a new friend. name's jones he's a labradoodle he's five ish he was a rescue big he's huge

but they they have like the best rapport and randy kind of follows them around like i let them off leash at the park and they run way far away and i'm kind of watching because you know it's coyote mating season you gotta be careful this is part of the reason i didn't you know invite you and alissa to the park i wasn't sure if you guys had any like going to zilker park on a saturday with other dogs is very overwhelming for some dogs especially young dogs and i was like we're in a rush so we need to go anyway also i don't know like if if they bring r, are they going to be able to let him just roam? Because Rosie, she's good at it now. And it took a while.

Yeah, I've wondered how this is going to go because I have yet to bring Randy to the traditional big dog park like Zilker or whatever. Just don't go to the one downtown. We'll talk about that off air. It's too small. No, it's terrible. Okay. Can we talk about our friends over at Fulton & Rourke? I've been waiting.

I had someone reach out to me the other day and said, Will, I'm looking to get some wax-based cologne. Do you have any recommendations on scent? And I was like, dog, you know that you've got to hit them with the Sterling. Yeah. What are you doing if you're not? What's the new scent, the VIP one that they hit us with a couple months ago? Oh, what was that?

With the matte black? Yeah. That thing was murdered out. It was so good dylan look it up fact check it find it that stuff went hard actually i still have some of that and i leave it on i have a cigar ashtray on my kitchen island that where we put like our keys and whatever stuff you might just grab on the way out i've got that in there yeah i'll just toss them on once in a while i might do it when i get home feel fresh you should ah it is the perpetua yes that stuff it just it just hits i'll be honestly it it hits much different it just hits different it's honestly the best smelling one that i've smelled yet how do they do it i don't know the palmetto i still can't get past too pump no that's my summer scent well sterling's my winter my musky scent and then palmetto is more

of my like oh palmetto is a nice curveball in the winter yes no one sees it keep people on their toes hit them with it see what happens it's like oh you're on island time yeah yeah man that was good thank you jamaican dave is really good No it was Bohemian Dave Dude I'm still not over that I don't I didn't go back To check the tape Oh you know what

We shouldn't talk about this Because it's only on the Patreon That's true My friend reached out to me He was like Dude you didn't get enough credit For saying that There's a Bohemian Rhapsody

So clearly I knew the difference And I said that it was better Because it had steel drums I will admit I think I was the one Who didn't know.

Dave, you texted us this morning about something you want to talk about. Do you want to preface everything with your thoughts on this? Are you still hot over the state championship game, Dave? I'm not hot over it. I had to think about this in the shower for a long time today. Yeah, I remembered that I hadn't talked about it. Because when it went down, we weren't doing a podcast. And I had talked about it leading up to the game on a previous

podcast as you mentioned but essentially my high school uh the panthers duncanville high school state in 98 they made a run at the state championship 6a in texas it's a school outside of the dallas area is that the largest one 6a yes um they had a monster team best defense the state's ever seen crazy a ton of d1 recruits they went through south lake carol noted powerhouse uh allen home of uh kyler murray on their way to getting to state and i was following along i've been following the team for a couple years just because i knew they had some really uh talent. Sounds like a weird way to refer to it. They got some good kids on the team. Yeah, dude, chill. High school. They play the state championship game at Cowboy Stadium in Arlington, which is right near

Duncanville. And I was back up there for the Christmas break. And I was like, you know what? I'm going to go. I have to go. I haven't been to a game this year. So I made it known on Twitter I was going to be there. And our good friend, an old co-worker, Harrison, old Harry Montgomery, he works with Fox Sports Southwest now. He said, hey, do you want a field pass? I was like, you know, do I want a field pass? I've never been on the field for any kind of football game, right?

Unless I was playing in it. And I was like, you know what? I will, I will take you up on that. Cause I was going solo. I was supposed to meet my buddy or our friend Clay, but traffic was so bad trying to get to the game that they just turned around. 60,000 people were at the, the games. I games. I went alone to the state championship game in 2015. Not 6A.

I think I went to... Did you go to Highland Park? I think I went to 3A and 4A. Okay. And I went alone. I had a great time. It was just like Friday Night Lights portrayed it. Yeah. But I went to NRG. I didn't go to Cowboy Stadium. It's a lot of fun. I don't think

they were ready for the influx of people. Now, Duncanville was playing a school out of the Houston area, Galena Park, North Shore, which is a beast. Awesome school. Party waves. Stop. So I get there, and I'm solo. I go down on the field, and it was kind of cool.

It was surreal. I mean, at a minimum, I'm on the field where the Dallas Cowboys play. Yeah. And I'm watching actual football. And it was funny just being next to the team and being like, you know, just myself, 5'9", buck 55. Did you get any shouts from the stands? Like, oh, crap, he's down there.

No, I didn't recognize. There was one guy from my high school that I saw. I didn't see anybody else. I didn't see any administrators that I recognized. I just, you know, I'm out of the game. There were no backers in the crowd? There were no backers. We're pretty separated from high school at this point.

It's crazy. Yeah. Like, teachers that were, like, young starting off, like, now they're, like, seasoned vets. Yeah, 100%. We're old as fuck. We are old. So, Duncanville was the underdog in this somehow.

And, like, opening play of the game, Duncanville tried to run, like, a halfback toss reverse. And it went fumble and then six the other way. Oh, no. That's why you don't lead with that. It wasn, no. That's why you don't lead with that. It wasn't great. Classic high school football. That's why you don't lead with that.

But they stayed in the game the whole time. Because at that point, I was like, dude, we're going to get run out of the gym. This isn't good. And keep in mind, both of these schools have Texas commits, Mizzou commits, just a ton of D1 athletes all over the field. But it gets down to the fourth quarter. I'm in the end zone watching, like right behind it. I found a spot because I found it to be too nerve-wracking

being right on the sideline because I don't want to be the guy that gets ran over by a wide receiver that, you know, trying to get an errant ball or something. You should have done that. There's people that are right on the sideline. Can you imagine how good it would have been if like the quarterback overthrew somebody and you were the dude on the sideline catching it?

These kids, these kids are huge. You're botching, you botched this. These kids are so huge. Uh, it's, it's shocking. Like absolute units. And I'm like, dude, y'all are 16 years old. Uh, so I went for the safe route. I went into the end zone.

I was watching from back there and it was just less less going on and Duncanville goes up with about 50 seconds left they score

take it down and score and they take the lead I think they were up by two and Galena Park gets it runs it back to like the 35 or the 40 their quarterback's awesome I don't know

he was young I think he's a sophomore long story short gets it, runs it back to like the 35 or the 40. Their quarterback's awesome. I don't know. He was young. I think he's a sophomore. Long story short, last play of the game. You might have seen this on any account that posts sports highlights. SB Nation, Bleacher Report, Barstool, all those. I actually saw it yesterday. You did?

I was flipping over to watch something. I think it was a soccer game on ESPN, and there was like five minutes left of what they were showing before. And they were inexplicably showing the top plays, like SportsCenter top plays, from December. Oh, yeah. It was the number nine top play. They lost the game on a Hail Mary.

It's tough. With no time left. In shocking fashion. And I will be 100% honest with you. It was the most gut-wrenching sports moment I've ever witnessed in person. And I'm better now. But there is a period of time, even though this is my high school, it's not something I should care that much about. I was not okay because I was there to watch these kids react to that.

And our coach, Reginald Samples, who's a legendary coach in Texas, has never won a state championship. And just to see them lose like that and watching high school kids cry, I was devastated. I had to get the fuck out of there. I walked back into the tunnels. I was like, oh my God. What's Reginald doing getting all reckless in the first play of the game what was your reaction when it happened day

i looked up so you know cowboy stadium has the giant jumbotron and i was like did he catch it i'm like you have to be hoping that he was hoping because they're gonna you know did he catch it did he catch it and then i then I popped on Twitter, and I was refreshing it, seeing if somebody who was covering it could tell me. Yeah, when they called it a touchdown, I was shocked. I was kind of in between the Galena Park fans and the Duncanville fans, and it was nuts, and I just had to get out of there. Wow.

It was brutal, man. Yeah. I've never seen something like that in person. That was your squad, too. That was my squad. They got a bunch of talent coming back, though. They're going to make another run. But it was still gut-wrenching,

and I'm curious if you guys have ever witnessed something like that. No, actually. Nothing even close to that. I don't think I had either. Yeah, nothing even close to that. I don't think I had either. Yeah, nothing even close to that. I mean, the only thing that compares as far as, like, gut-wrenching stuff, I went to, I mean, I used to go to the Texas OU game every year for, like, seven years in a row, and it was during the run in, like, the 2000s

when OU was just thumping Texas. Like, there was, like, a 63-13 game. Jason White's out there winning Heismans? And it just got really ugly for a while. And it was to the point where I was just like, and this is going to set Texas back like decades. No one's going to want to come play for Texas now. It was just really ugly.

But nothing like last-minute turn of events like that that you experienced. That's fucking terrible. Yeah. If it's professional, I think it's gut-wrenching like how the uh the saints lost two years ago you know to the vikings on that stefan digs touchdown but these guys are professional athletes you know they'll get over it they get watching high school kids and knowing for for some of them like they're never going to play another last game it's like dude that that's when it sunk in and i was like i got really sad for them but as a fan wouldn't it be harder for you to watch like a cowboys loss in person than a high school yeah

okay because i'm more i was gonna say like you watch every game leading up to 100 i've never had a i've never had a stomach punch loss in person i'm pretty good at defending myself against it if there's a big game i'm probably not going to go to it like or try to go to it just because i don't want to be in public when some like somebody loses like you and i went to the dallas uh detroit game this past season it was a good game it was somewhat of a stomach punch loss for the Lions just because they pissed it away. But at the same time, it was regular season, not that big a deal, and I didn't care. We're not a good team. I didn't expect to win anyway.

We suck. But when it comes to that kind of stuff, it's hard for me to get keyed up enough to go to a game. Sure. It's not worth it for me at this point to subject myself to that potential devastation. Oh, another fun fact, they don't serve beer. I had brisket nachos. I tried. During the high school games, they don't serve beer?

Well, it's like Cowboy Stadium. Yeah, you'd think they might. Come on. Yeah, I had brisket nachos because I went up there and I realized, oh, they don't serve beer, and I immediately regretted my decision. They were bad, weren't they might. Come on. Yeah, I had brisket nachos because I went up there and I realized, oh, they don't serve beer, and I immediately regretted my decision. They were bad, weren't they? They were good, but you don't need to eat those at a game.

It was too much. Did they charge normal Sunday prices? Yeah. Yeah. They did for me, at least. I was at NRG in Houston, though, and Dave was at Cowboy Stadium. I can't imagine they knocked down the price. Dude, isn't it crazy how many people go to those games?

Mm-hmm. was at Cowboy Stadium. I can't imagine they knocked down the press. Isn't it crazy how many people go to those games? They were comparing how many people went to not only just that game, because they play multiple games during the day. All of them, and then the 4A and the 3A, and compared it to some of the bowls, because it was bowl season, and how 15,000 people maybe went to some of those bowls. If that,

it's just silly, man. We had a basketball game when i was in high school and it was us versus our big rivals i believe it was in a tournament play like districts or something like winter went to regionals and on one of the last plays of the game under 10 seconds left our star player took it from half court and had a breakaway. And we were down. And he decided that he was going to dunk it. Okay.

And he can dunk. Like, he can do that. Is this Todd? No, no. And he goes up. He dunks it. The crowd goes absolutely wild in our small gym. But I've never seen the gym so packed.

It's the only time I've ever seen people not be able to go to the game dude high school dunks are the best it was nothing better people just go wild people celebrated so hard especially that we couldn't hear the whistle yeah that uh he had traveled on the dunk and so he traveled they the dunk didn't count we ended up losing the game and walking out of the game, like a bunch of parents were like, how, I can't believe he traveled there. Like what an idiot. Why wouldn't he just go lay it up and not travel so he could dunk.

And then, uh, in the cafeteria, like the following week, he, the guy admitted, he goes, yeah,

I knew I traveled. I just wanted the gym to go crazy. And I was hoping that it wouldn't matter. And I was like, dude, that's the cockiest, most irresponsible thing in the world. I love that. He just wanted to dunk and have everyone go crazy and instead we lost the game and they had he dunked in a game before okay yes it wasn't it wasn't a regular occurrence but he

had done it a few times before but it was against our rival it was so tight and then after that we were like yeah that probably wasn't the move. Maybe just lay it up next time. That's hilarious. Other than that, I got nothing. I've actually been a really fortunate sports fan when it comes to seeing things in person. In high school, our senior year, we made a little run in basketball. And our stud player was this guy, Seneca, Seneca Collins. And he hit a shot over a guy. It was in like the third round of the playoffs and we were there and we rushed the court.

He had a turnaround jumper at the free throw line to win the game. We rushed the court and we were like the only, our little group of friends, like six of us, just six white dudes rushing the court, like went out there and we're like, you know, picking up some of the players and stuff. And then we looked and I see Mr. Kreitzberg,

our principal, and he's like. Kreitzberg, our principal, and he's got his arms crossed, like classic principal, like, you guys. High school was lit. High school was tight, man. I wish I wouldn't have peaked then. I'd be cooler now. Some dude tweeted me and said, oh, no, we talked about that.

That was ripping on me in high school. I was like, you didn't even know me in high school, dude. That was so long ago. Why is he coming at you? I don't know. Is the biggest shocker that there was a guy from me in high school i was like you didn't even know me in high school dude that was so long ago why is he coming at you i don't know is the biggest shocker is that there's a guy from harbor springs who could throw down yeah he was tall he had a little brother who also could ball too and uh but he wasn't tall so he didn't dunk but he was like he played like d rose just vicious whoa it was tight no one in harbor springs is playing like trust me trust me trust me brothers, they went hard.

Damn. They were tight. Where are they at now? But if you get a white guy to throw down in an actual game, it's just going to be pandemonium in there. Yeah. This wasn't a white guy. He was Native American.

Really? He actually had on his car, he had a giant sticker across the back. Dylan got excited. It said, Native Baller. That's tight. You fucking get it? It was tight. It got excited. It said, Native Baller. That's tight. You fucking kidding me? It was tight. It was real tight.

Dude, what? That should be a brand. Yeah. Native Baller? Mm-hmm. I'm going to start calling you that. That's sick. It was sick.

He stole my girlfriend in eighth grade. What'd you do about it? Absolutely nothing. He knew it, too. He knew I had nothing to do to him. Did you take him out on the court? Damn. Did you say, let's go play a little pig?

He was just dunking and stealing girlfriends. That guy owned Harbor Springs. Yeah. Yeah, she dumped me, and then two days later, she was with him, and I was like, oh, that makes sense. He's a star basketball player. You're with the native baller. I get it.

I get it. What were you? What's your name? If he's the native baller, what are you? Soccer thumb or something. The local cuck? Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.

Native baller's the coolest thing I've ever heard. Being on the basketball team is way tighter than being on the tennis team. Three doubles on the tennis team didn't exactly woo the ladies too much. No. That's a great point. Jesus. Have you guys seen these shaggy memes on Twitter?

I have not. So somebody reached out to us over the weekend and he said that we need to talk about them. And so this morning I was bored, and I decided to search Shaggy memes. I was expecting it to be, it wasn't me, Shaggy. Shaggy. That one. That was good.

That was really good. It was not good. Is it the Scooby-Doo version? It's the Scooby-Doo Shaggy. Zoinks. That's Shaggy before he doesn't have a bubble in his throat before y'all ask yes i have watched scooby-doo before as a kid scooby scooby-doo sucks wow okay it was my it was like one of my least favorite cartoons as a kid it wasn't funny it probably scared you you little bitch it didn't yeah you got scared it didn. I mean, are you afraid of the dark scared me?

Like, yes. You got scared. Nah. Scooby-Doo? I don't get scared by cartoons, play. But so there are these memes coming up. And so you both clearly have no idea what these memes are about, right? Yeah, we'd love to see the memes, though.

Bring us the memes. It started on Reddit. And somehow they have this screenshot of Matthew Lillard, the actor who played Shaggy, who also played the guy from SLC Punk. A movie I won't go back and watch because it just makes me feel too weird. I think Vice recently did something on it. That and Kids. I will never watch Kids again. So it's just a screenshot of him as Shaggy.

And they have turned Shaggy into being a god. The entire joke is that Shaggy is a powerful god who only uses 1% of his powers. And he's too powerful to do other things. And so Matthew Lillard saw it and was like, what the hell is going on? And at first he condemned it. And now he's all about it. Wait, what do you mean he condemned it? He didn't like it. He was like, what are you doing? You're misqu first he condemned it, and now he's all about it. Wait, what do you mean he condemned it? He didn't like it.

He was like, what are you doing? You're misquoting me, like all this stuff. What's he doing now? I believe there's an SLC Punk 2 coming out. Wasn't he also in the original Scream? Probably. He had a little run in the early 2000s. And so if you go to the subreddit called uh badass shaggy yeah i haven't been there

yet yeah surprisingly uh there are let me see i meant to check this out i want to see dylan's initial reaction i'm scrolling twitter right now looking at these things badass shaggy has 22 000 subscribers that's too many that's more than we've got on Patreon. I don't... I'll be honest. I don't understand why this is taking off so hard. Like, is Shaggy... Is... Is Shaggy, like,

the kind of thing that, like, people think is funny? Oh, this actor is really annoying. Matthew... No, he's not. He's great. No, he's not.

Have you seen SLC Punk? Is he... He's also in that, um... that Freddie Prinze movie about baseball. She's All That? She's All That. Wait, is that what it's called? No. No.

I was going to say, She's All That's not about baseball. I think Jessica Biel's in it. Fever Bitch. Summer Catch, maybe? Where he's like a AAA player or something? Yeah. Summer League, playing summer ball. Summer Catch.

Of course, Dylan knows the Freddie Prinze movies about baseball. Yeah, he's in Summer Catch. This guy sucks. Dylan went to the movie and he brought his glove. You know what I hate? He's just packing a glove the whole time. I hate when in sports movies when actors are cast and have clearly never played the sport before and they just look like idiots out there.

You think it should be you? It really bothers me. You want to be cast. No, I'm not an actor i can't i i can't act for shit but they should find someone who's played the game before sell it a little i noticed that in sell it a little bit golf movies these these memes are so bad and it's show me the meme so you can see like the screenshot is just of his face and this is so and him shrugging like and he's dressed as shaggy so he's's got this scoop neck tee on it, it looks like. He's got the long Shaggy hair, obviously, the little goatee.

And it's just him smiling. And this one, the most popular one on the site, or on Reddit right now, is just captioned, I don't actually remember filming any scenes. Once the camera started rolling, I would black out as the spirit of Shaggy Possessed my mortal body once again This is so obscure That's the entire joke Like

It does not make any sense He said the casting process for Shaggy Was very strange We had to wear the costume and see if we were capable of containing his power I was the only survivor Same screenshot of just Matthew Lill lillard dressed as shaggy i don't get it i don't think this has lasting power like moths did no it does not i'm looking at twitter now i'm so i'm so out on this meme so can we give this the certified stamp of disapproval yeah because i don't i don't get it oh here's a good one it's it's

the guy who played who's the blonde dude is this freddie prince either way yeah why did he why did freddie prince and matthew lillard do so many movies together i'll never forget the day shaggy walked on set excuse me start that over i'll never forget the day Shaggy walked on set and announced he had killed God. What? That's so stupid. This is really bad. I mean... It doesn't make any sense.

What's his actor's name again? Matthew Lillard. It doesn't make any sense. What's this actor's name again? Matthew Lillard. I remember watching Shaggy beat the entire Halo series on Legendary with a guitar hero controller. The studio actually had to build a series of devices to block my newfound summoning abilities. Otherwise, the set would be overrun with dogs.

I still live there to this day. Okay. One day I arrived on set and Shaggy was i shit you not approximately 132 feet tall what scared me most is he never explained it he came back the next day 5 11 and dead quiet this is okay they're calling this coming around on it they They're calling this Ultra Instinct Shaggy as the meme. It says, Ultra Instinct Shaggy is the Ultra Instinct remix of the character Shaggy from Scooby-Doo undergoing the Ultra Instinct transformation of Goku from Dragon Ball Super. Dude, these are kind of like Chuck Norris-esque jokes. That's the thing. So they were saying in 2009 it was Chuck Norris being badass

and now it's Shaggy in 2019. Do you know who was before Chuck Norris? It was the SNL skit, Bill Braske. Remember those? Ah, yes, yes, yes. Best day in salesman in the office. Bill Braske was the OG. It was like Alec Baldwin and Will Ferrell.

It was so funny. Anyway. What? Like, it says, okay, here's an explanation for how this all originated. This is from knowyourmeme.com. It says, in January 2019, memes featuring Shaggy saw a spike in use on Reddit. Although initial posts stemmed from the Ultra Instinct Shaggy, which I just talked about, later examples branched away

into into an independent direction on november 2nd 2019 that doesn't make sense 2018 uh redditor norwall lord 14 which is the nerdiest fucking name you could have on reddit wait what was it norwall norwall dash lord 14 posted a captioned image of shaggy with a photoshopped katana in the reddit subreddit boss fight that's some real nerd shit yeah on january 5th an anonymous 4chan user used a green text story based on the ultra this is so deep yeah you're going way too this is so deep. Yeah, you're going way too deep. This is so deep. No one needs this many explanations. You know how Twitter people make fun of Instagram people for picking up on stuff too late?

Is that how Reddit people feel about Twitter people? Probably. I mean... Or do they just make fun of us? I mean, I don't... I mean, we can do this right now, actually. If you go to any meme account out there, it all stems from Reddit.

Fuck Jerry, Fat Jew, daquan everything i mean i'm not saying i could run one of those accounts because like i mean i probably if you gave me the reins to it you might not be able to see like the you wouldn't be like oh that's the day will started but like all this shit is on reddit first and that's why I have no respect for anyone but Daquan. I rediscovered one of my favorite memes yesterday. What? Do you remember the school bus full of, I guess, high school kids? You're just all about high school kids right now.

Damn it, this is killing my brand. The she is very gorgeous to me kid. Dylan, I know you know this one. I have no clue what you're talking about. I don't know what made me think of it. I was listening to the Blink-182 Enema of the State album, and there's a song on there. I think it's Going Away to College.

Oh, I've seen this kid. I didn't know who he was. Watch the video. Oh, yeah. It's one of my... It's just... I don't understand it. it's so out of context it made me it made me happy and i watched it probably 30 times yesterday

i never knew it was good i never knew what that kid was from it just comes out of nowhere i mean it's like the it's like a it's a meme in the purest form it's's just raw. I love it. I love the memes. Feed me the memes. So can we declare ourselves officially out on Shaggy? Yeah, this is one of the worst ones. I don't know, man. He was approximately 132 feet tall.

The more I read them, the more they actually kind of make me laugh. But I don't know if I'll be laughing at these tomorrow no i won't but i'm gonna have fun with it today okay we're gonna there's gonna be one popping up on a social media account pretty soon isn't there what is there i feel like that we could do some kind of collabo with circling back probably uh do you guys know what i did last night i didn't say this in this weekend of fun because I wanted to save it. I do know. Because you talked about it on Twitter.

I'm a Game of Thrones guy now. How many episodes did you watch? One. Okay. And let's hear it. If you check my Twitter bio, which is at Will DeFreeze, or not my bio, my name, I'm just going to update people with where I am. So right now it says I'm on season one, episode two.

Wait, you're actually doing this yeah why wouldn't i it's a new thing i'm doing it's called the wills watch okay and yeah and it's just me just watching game of thrones so uh well you really did change your your name yeah you're gonna have to do that game a bit. Game of Thrones will, in parentheses, season one, episode two. You know there's many episodes. Yeah. I've been told that. Here's the thing. I've actually watched season, I've actually watched episode one numerous times.

And this is probably my third time watching it. And it did more for me than the other times. But I... It's not my wheelhouse, this show. It's not my typical viewing whatever. That's what took me so long to get into it as well. The fact that Dylan is in on Game of Thrones, that should make you reconsider.

Why? Because it's not a show that Dylan would traditionally like. Dave's right. Anything medieval period, I'm usually out on. I don't like fantasy stuff at all. He hates fantasy. He hates period pieces. If I've learned anything recently, it's been like that Dylan and I have very differing

tastes in television. But at the end of the day, you can't not watch what is widely considered the best show of all time. You can't be- No. Okay. It's not widely considered the best television show of all time. Game of Thrones is widely considered the best show of all time.

No, it's not. Yes, it is. Absolutely not. Yes, it absolutely is. No, it's not. It's one of the most popular shows of all time. It's different than best. Maybe right.

Okay. I'm not saying that's how I feel. Widely considered. You're right. Let's not bog down on that. Yes. Right now, yes, but not all time. People will say it's a great show.

It's up there, but I don't... People will put Sopranos, The Wire, and, but not all time. People will say it's a great show. It's up there, but I don't... People will put Sopranos, The Wire, and Breaking Bad ahead of it. No. Every time. No one's putting The Wire or Sopranos ahead of it. Absolutely. Also, salute your shorts. Hey, dude.

Double dare. Can we stop? Those are all fair. Yeah. Legends of the Hidden Temple. Okay, what... You can't be the one person not watching this show. It of the Hidden Temple. Okay, what... You can't be the one person not watching this show. It was the point I was trying to make.

Tell me this. Are you watching it with subtitles? Are you kidding? Yes. Absolutely, I am. Okay, good. All I do is watch with subtitles now. You really need it for this show.

Because they're hard to understand at times. I have a major... And there's a lot of names. I have a major issue with you claiming that it's widely considered that when the show hasn't even reached its completion okay i mean they've done seven seasons okay okay you can't you can't put it in a category until the whole body of work is well you can't really have an opinion because you've only watched one episode five times no but what are you talking about i can tell you that like it's i'm talking i'm speaking for the greater you know people here well hey they're gonna be not the greatest show that like it's i'm talking i'm speaking for the greater you know

people here it's not the greatest show what do you mean i'm kidding like i'm just saying it's not widely considered the greatest show i believe you're wrong it's just not and again this is i'm not saying i believe it's the best show of all time i'm saying people think it is it's true dude i've never have you ever seen a cult following Like this show has? No but like Think about Think about the times Where these other shows were on

That it couldn't It couldn't be as widely known That everybody was watching Because there wasn't this like Group Twitter action That's true That there is Twitter's been around for

Breaking Bad And for So you're telling me that like Unfortunately not for Sopranos Like the MASH finale Was like the most popular finale of all time. Right. And like no one could talk about that on like Twitter.

So like there wasn't this big like push behind it. Social media has propelled Game of Thrones into being what it is. It's still... I will respect that it's considered to be an amazing show. But social media has done it all the favors compared to these older shows. Look, I'm the last person that's going to go to bat for Game of Thrones. I don't think you are the last person.

I am, but I just feel that you are absolutely wrong. Just give us your thoughts, you ding-dong. Yeah, get into it, dickhead. One, Dothraki weddings are fucking crazy. Lit. Like, they're just girls with their tees out, they're just killing each other. They're grinding.

I haven't seen a dance floor dance that aggressively since Dave's wedding. I didn't see any Dothraki guys hitting the Quan. We didn't invite any Dothraki to the wedding. How do you feel about the Khaleesi? Is she the one who's marrying the Dothraki dude? Yeah. How do you not know that? You've watched one episode four times she good she good okay she might stick around for a while she might get got

we don't know the the hair on these stark boys and i'm including john snow in this my god i the only thing i could think about the entire time i was looking at john snow was how cool he would look with like a hockey sweater on that ties up the chest and a helmet on top of that hair with just the flow coming out the back. That's what you were thinking? The entire time.

I couldn't stop thinking about like him in a Maple Leafs jersey or something. No one's thinking that while watching the show. I don't want him in a Maple Leafs jersey. So I looked up

the top rated TV shows as judged by IMDB's charts. Okay. You shouldn't have said anything. This is not trustworthy in my opinion. There are shows on here that number one show

based on IMDB's ratings is Planet Earth 2. Okay. You should throw it out. Number two, Band of Brothers. 9.5 rating. Good. The next three shows are tied. Okay. Okay. What are they The next three shows are tied. Okay. What are they, Will?

Planet Earth 1. Scooby-Doo. Breaking Bad. And Game of Thrones. Okay. I will say this, and this will only help your point. Band of Brothers shouldn't be on there. It's a miniseries, not a television series.

I need to watch Planet Earth. That's fair. It's a miniseries. I feel like that's a different... I'm not trying to take away from how good it watch it. It's a miniseries, not a television series. I need to watch Planet Earth. That's fair. It's a miniseries. I feel like that's a different... I'm not trying to take away from how good it is, but it is a miniseries. So,

who... Give me some characters that you're in on and who you're out on. I'm out on the dude who has sex with his twin sister. I'm out on... Jamie Lannister.

Maybe. I'm out on the twin sister who's having sex with the dude that I'm out on. I'm in on the kids. The youngest. The Stark. The youngest Stark kids. I'm in on Khaleesi.

I'm in on Jon Snow. I'm not sure what to do with P.S. Bud. Who? From the bodyguard.S. Bud. Who? From the Bodyguard. Isn't that his name? Ah, yes, yes, yes. Indeed. Oh, Robb Stark.

Yeah. Why is his name Robb? P.S. Bud? Why do they always have... His name's David Bud. Yeah, David Bud. Didn't they call him, like, P.S. Bud or something? Yeah.

I think they meant, like, personal security. Yeah. Yeah. With all these names, Khaleesi, whatever. Why is there just a dude named Rob? Yeah. Like, what's the deal with that? I think it has two Bs.

Okay. Like Rob himself? Not that it makes a difference, but yeah, Rob. There's a Garrett in the next episode. There's not. But yeah, it's like, oh, like Trevor. Yeah. Like what?

J-Mac. Yeah, Trevor Lannister John Snow that's a pretty standard American name well there's always Tanner Lannister is gonna make a huge impression

on you Tanner Lannister like it's just weird it's like there's all these people and then it's Rob he's like the one who got cut out of the trust fund I

when it comes to what's the dude with that the little dude that's drinking Tyrion i'm not sure about him yet oh he's tight i know he's tight i just feel like hey will i feel like it's just like low-hanging fruit was that a joke you just made no but that would have been good i would have been offensive yes hanging fruit i think i feel like it's just like oh he's the little guy who

likes to you know fuck a bunch of chicks and drink a lot. Like, oh, that's who he is. You're going to see some character development. Yeah. Let me just tell you this. He's tight. Let me just tell both of you guys this. All I'm going to say, I'm going to say it one time on this podcast.

Just wait. Here's the thing. Just wait. Shit pops off. I'm very worried about my lasting power with this show. Shit pops off. Oh, yeah. i'm very worried about my lasting power with this show oh yeah i'm very worried about my lasting power it's it's such an investment you wait till you meet the dragons see that's that's what i don't want dude yeah you do like when calise got those old ass dragon eggs i was just like i do not care about these dragon eggs get them man just

quit being like what's the name of the place across the way will they grow up what's the name of the place across the way king's landing grow up? What's the name of the place across the way? King's Landing? Could be many places. Probably King's Landing. No, no, no. The place that looks like Cabo. Dorn?

Where What's-Her-Face lives. That we were just talking about. Who got the eggs? She marries the Dothraki. Oh. Cool. Fuck. I don't know. I know fuck. I don't know.

I know, but I don't know. Uh, not important. It looks like Cabo though. It's pretty chill. It doesn't look like Cabo. It looks like Cabo. It's not. It looks chill over there.

I don't know. We'll see how it goes. I'll, I'll watch episode two. I told Dylan, like, I'm very nervous about this because this is a slippery slope. Dylan was watching this when he, like this when we were full-time employees somewhere and we were going to an office every day. I'm worried that I'm going to be like, oh man, it's like 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I'm self-employed,

and I don't really have anything pressing right now. I don't know how you only watched one episode. Because we inexplicably just tossed on American Gangster last night. Okay. That was a mistake. Dragonstone? It says she's from Dragonstone. That ain't it.

There's a great house of Westeros. I don't know. They throw so many names at you that it's hard to keep up. That's honestly the toughest part of the show. I just had to Google Game of Thrones map. Oh, cool. Amazon wants to sell me one. Just show me the damn map. Now it's going to piss me off I just had to google Game of Thrones map Oh cool Amazon wants to sell me one

Just show me the damn map Now it's gonna piss me off That you guys can't think of it Yeah Sorry I'm letting you down here I'm gonna just look up A Westeros map

And just figure this out Are you talking about Essos? No No dude Come on No People are There's so many

There's thousands of people right now just screaming i just was really really mad i get it i get it um yeah i don't know what it is whatever that's just how it's gonna be but your whole point in that was it looks like cabo yeah it looked okay it's across the narrow sea it looked v chill so they just straight up jacked But your whole point in that was it looks like Cabo. Yeah. It looked V-chill. Okay. It's across the narrow sea. It looked V-chill. So they just straight up jacked the geography of Great Britain. And were like, all right, we're going to turn this into another version and just call it Westeros.

Not really. I feel like that's what they did. No. No. Okay. Is this going to be your whole thing? Is I'm going to be skeptic guy just so people react and get mad at me? No.

Because I want real talk here, man. No, I'm giving you real talk. I don't know about this. Dylan, I don't know. Yeah. If you want to follow along, just... To be fair. Don't say follow along.

No one's following along. If you want to follow along, just follow Will DeVries on Twitter. And then also, when you tweet about it, just hashtag Will's Watch. I wasn't sold after the first episode. So I understand he's not all in yet. I mean, I get it. Sure. But he'll get there if he keeps going.

Which you will. They showed a lot of nudity in that first episode. Hold on a sec. Just wait. What's the deal? That's just how it be back then. You're going to see some stuff and you're going to be wondering, is this okay to be watching right now?

A lot of slapping. The thing is, I already know some of the spoilers. Well, being on Twitter, it's hard to avoid them. I have actually muted every single word that I could come up with from Game of Thrones for Twitter. Surely you've seen video, like a scene from when the dragons are big and stuff. Yes, I've also seen the one where the Iceman

javelins something through someone's chest or something. Iceman. And I was just like, this is so stupid. Okay. He's throwing an ice javelin. Look, yeah, I get it. Just because you weren't athletic in high school. I was an athlete in high school. You never threw an ice javelin. Look, yeah, I get it. Just because you weren't athletic in high school. I was an athlete in high school.

You never threw an ice javelin. That's true. The words that I have muted are... Let's see. I muted Game of Thrones. I muted hashtag Game of Thrones. Okay. North of the Wall.

The Hound. Winter is Coming. of Thrones. Okay. North of the Wall. The Hound. Winter is Coming. White Walker. Stark. Littlefinger. Sansa? Sansa? Sansa.

Sansa. Bran. Bran. Tyrion. Daenerys. I just... You should list every character in the show. We get it.

There's many. Yeah. But then I go into the other things that I muted. Gleese. Like Jenner pregnant. Okay. And I think that's it. Damn, I actually have a lot of stuff muted.

I'm savage. No, you're not. I'll release my proprietary mute kit for those of you who are willing to sign up on Patreon. It's a mute kit.

Do you know anything about polar vortexes? I know everything about them. Really? Yeah. Anytime the news throws a word at you like vortex, you better watch out. You better hold on to your hat. Remember when you threw a vortex about 30 feet? No.

That was in a different time. We've got video. I don't know. It might have been scrubbed from the internet. Oh, no. This is... Oh, no. As many people know. It might have been scrubbed from the internet. Oh, no. This is... Oh, no. As many people know,

I am a weather truther. I think that the media puts out some fake news regarding the weather and makes people panic. They're saying that temperatures, and this might be wind chill, are supposed to get down to negative 45 degrees. Come on. That's not happening.

Wait, that's wind chill temperature? Yeah. That's not too surprising. Pretty fucking cold. Actual temperature is probably like negative 10. That's like don't go outside. What's the coldest you've ever been in? Like just weather.

Like negative 20-ish probably. Ooh. I'll never forget mine. It was eighth grade. I was playing ball, B team. We were down one. I got fouled on a layup. I drained both free throws.

I was cold as fuck. I fucking hate you. I hit him with a swan hand. Did you? Did you put that hit in the cookie jar? Damn. I took their cookies. You hinge-ed him?

He just held it up there against the jazz in the finals i hit him with a little shimmy antoine walker after a free throw they've just shimmied yeah that seems way too cocky but it was a game it was a game winner no one's doing that dave it was yeah you didn't do the swaggy p and walk away and then i then i hit a j in overtime um in another game i just dude this idiot on the ground in front of me i just stepped over him i looked down at him you a item i did dude i did i didn't know you were that cold back then they called me mr freeze they called me dave to freeze because i'm your daddy no didn't. Because I'm your daddy. No one called you that. I'm your daddy.

I wasn't even playing. I didn't know who you were back then. Why did they say DeFreeze? Yeah. It was like Doe Freeze. That's weird. Everybody wore

their winter coats in. Their starter jackets in. You were the original DeFreeze. I was. That's why I'm Will's daddy. You're not my daddy. Who's the guy you found over the weekend

that looks like your dad for real? Is that Barry Gibb? Kenny Loggins. Is it Kenny Loggins? I don't want you to ever say that looks like your dad for real? Is that Barry Gibb? Kenny Loggins. Is it Kenny Loggins? I don't want you to ever say anyone looks like your dad again because no one looks more like your dad than you.

I know. You are just a younger version of your dad. I got so many tags on that Kenny Loggins picture. It went micro viral. So many people tagged me in that and were like,

why is this you? It didn't go micro viral. I'm going to look at the numbers. No offense to your dad. I've met your dad. He's a great guy. If Kenny Loggins was your dad, you'd be so much tighter. I mean, yeah, it's Kenny fucking Loggins.

Y'all don't give me credit for microviral. This one has eight retweets. Has a lot of faves, though. Shut up. You shut up, bitch. Okay. I didn't mean that. If you want to talk microviral, we should talk about the video we put on Circling Back Pod on Twitter and Instagram.

I watched that, I don't know, 400 times yesterday or Saturday. That went micro. 545 likes for your boy on that. That's a great tweet. Yeah. Dude, it went micro-viral this weekend. I love his tweet. He said, I'm waiting to get my oil changed.

Where does he get a Carhartt beanie from, anyway? Literally everywhere up there. Oh, really? Yeah. Carhartt is very common. But a place where Duda will go? Carhartt now has a line of clothing that is not meant for the original clientele, but for hipsters. I'm sure Duda is well aware of this i love the idea that a guy who would

be really into carhartt would take his oil to get changed instead of just doing it himself yeah yeah there were some flaws in this yeah he's made it great he's also clearly at like a dealership the carhartt hat looks like it was taken out of plastic wrapping on the way to there there are some flaws no one but duda can go from Blouse to Carhartt.
