Starting point is 00:00:00 all right we're back circling back podcast coming to you live from austin texas my name's will to freeze to my left david r Will, I'm happy to be here. I think you know that. But I would be remiss if I didn't mention that I'm feeling a little bit left out that I'm not out in the bullpen right now because a lot of people are saying it's a mood. No. Possibly a vibe. No.
Starting point is 00:00:41 The amount of issues that I have with what's going on in the bullpen at this point. I could get over this during the wintertime. I could get over this during, like, those cold fall days. I could understand it during the holidays when you want to cozy up and you want to feel cozy. What's happening going, like, right now out there? No. What is it exactly? The only issue I have with it is that it's not seasonal.
Starting point is 00:01:03 But I kind of like the vibe. But since it's a snowy vibe, again, people don't know what we're talking about. Maybe it's just my pedigree. Maybe I'm just built different because of the Grand X days when you'd walk in in the morning. You'd see Dan Rejester wearing a tank top. He'd have his shorts rolled up so you could see his quads. And what he would do is he would put on some you know edm music in the morning cue up sharpie people would be just absolutely partying but what we have going on right now is we have
Starting point is 00:01:31 brett merriman and and he is on his chew grind and what he's doing is he is he's playing stock jazz music on the youtube on the youtube with uh like a snowy background with like little like illustrations of like coffee cups that are steaming also it's on our tv not on his laptop so it's just it's like the first thing you see when you walk in it's just this big mood just lo-fi wintry jazz music and it's a typewriter and honestly like this seems like something i would be into but i i just think we need to hold ourselves to a higher standard. Bro, it's sneaky Hemingway vibes. No.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Hemingway would be listening to actual jazz music by actual artists that people enjoy. Like not Jet GPT composed jazz. I feel like a man could get some thinking done in a setting like that, actually. I kind of vibe with it. No, we need at least a little more energy or at least like a little more flavor here. That's all I'm asking.
Starting point is 00:02:29 You know how it is with me, though, man. The more I think, the more I drink. Yeah. I've been saying, man, I'm not drinking anymore. But I also ain't drinking any less. Man, ain't that the truth, though? So you're just drinking the same amount that usually yeah yeah yeah it's plateaued but yeah really nothing crazy dylan shivery ladies and gentlemen
Starting point is 00:02:51 hey i've been i've actually been a fan of the for you tab on twitter because i'm seeing things that i um otherwise wouldn't obviously and some of them i'm into but over the last couple weeks it's turned into a major um live leaky type of vibe i i'm looking at like shootings and like street fights and it's it's really weird what's happened to my 4u tab i don't know how it went there it's chosen this content for me it sounds similar to that other recommended tab of yours that's also a leaky vibe um on instagram i'm talking about of course leaky vibe on instagram what like what like plumbing like faucets and stuff no like leaky texas remember that one spooky season it's leaky oh fuck everybody knows that it's leaky texas anyway um dude that's my instagram reels it's all
Starting point is 00:03:45 shitty street fight dude it's it's like watch watch this uh argument outside a bar turn into a shooting okay then it's like three people laid out on the sidewalk it's like why is that that's just popping up on twitter yes okay i i purposely i get personally aggrieved when i find out that i've been scrolling the for you. I get mad. I'm like, I don't want this. So I've avoided that. But no, my Instagram is more like guy talks little guy, some guy my size, like mouthing off to a bouncer. Then he spits at him and the bouncer just like wrecks him.
Starting point is 00:04:20 He puts him in a coma. Yeah. It's unpleasant. It is unpleasant i'd rather have what you guys have than what my for you tab is looking like on twitter lately which is just like candles and political arguments everywhere that's all it is and like i i don't i don't want it typewriter i don't want it yeah i don't know man uh elon's gotta figure his shit out like he's losing me i don't want i don't want Twitter for politics.
Starting point is 00:04:45 I want Twitter for really dumb tweets. I want Twitter for arguments about candles and shit, like whoever just said that. That sounds lit. Dude, you have to personally subscribe to Elon for exclusive memes. Exclusive memes. We need to be careful.
Starting point is 00:05:01 We need to be careful. You see the Twitter subscription thing? You can... It's like a paywall situation. I haven't really looked into it. I just know that they're saying that Elon's going to post exclusive memes. I don't need his shit.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Yeah, what I know about Twitter is that any feature that they unroll currently is probably not something we're going to have to worry about long-term. I feel like every day there's a new feature or they've... They need to bring Fleets back. No.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Tell me, lad. Fleets were the worst. Fleets was so pointless. Fleets. You get it because they're fleeting? You get a fleet fetish? They're here and then they're gone. They're fleeting.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Dude, Dave's trying to put a lot of horny on you today. Oh, big fucking surprise. Horny Dave. I can't put horny on my buddy? Get your horny off me, dog. You're my buddy. I can't put horny on my buddy get your horny off me dog you're my buddy i can't put horny on you we're putting on me let's put it on each other i'm not gonna return the horniness i can return volley i forgot about fleets yeah it made me want to unfollow people who were fleeting i didn't want to unfollow anyone that was fleeting but i definitely lost respect when fleets started going down i was like uh you're too good for this you don't need to be
Starting point is 00:06:09 fleeting right now credit to twitter for pulling the plug on it at least i don't think i ever looked at a fleet i mean i probably looked at one but i never had the compulsion to go just press that little button yeah you want to know why because the idea of fleets is that you post something that is like you know in the moment and quick and then you you keep scrolling you go by it and and that's the entire basis of twitter i'm about to say twitter is a fast moving like it's it's very quick you see a tweet and then it's gone so but now they've got the algorithm on twitter that's like the exact same thing as like reels and stuff where you're just scrolling i don't do it the only thing i the only thing i actually scroll like that is TikTok at this point.
Starting point is 00:06:47 And I hardly even use that. That's a straight up sitting down in the bathroom move for me at this point. Nothing. TikTok, that's between me and the toilet. I bet your TikTok is so horny. No. I think you'd be shocked. I think you'd be shocked, but I don't think you'd be very shocked by what my TikTok is.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Soccer. It's just like soccer, people getting dressed and like fucking. That's you. Yeah. I like those relaxing pages where they, they have like industrial machines, crushing stuff.
Starting point is 00:07:19 You guys ever go down these wormholes? No. Oh, it's great. It's just like, it's just like an industrial like press and then they put a bunch of skittles down there and suddenly you just see skittles getting crushed and it's really satisfying to watch highly recommend randy knows what i'm talking about but randy watches like
Starting point is 00:07:35 ai tentacles get crushed it's weird it's much different he watches a different kind of crush film you're just you're filth randy can can you can you speak to what i'm talking about randy have you ever gone after that i'm not gonna come defend you that's understandable that's understandable i take back the tentacle crush okay then yes it's like a big hydraulic press that has like certain like holes in the middle i highly recommend ever seen them do like candles and stuff like make candles or crush candles? Crush candles. Yeah, I see.
Starting point is 00:08:07 I'm really someone who stands candles and doesn't like them seeing getting hurt. So seeing them getting crushed is kind of, you know, painful for me. He doesn't like to see
Starting point is 00:08:14 candles get hurt. Wait till you get to the industrial shredder type stuff. Really? Damn. Is that like, did the guy from
Starting point is 00:08:22 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sell out? Is that the final boss? He got an actual job, stopped living in the subway yeah he's like i can't beat these four turtles man i gotta find something else i gotta pivot now he's works for uh ernst and young i don't know what the that is it's just a thing yeah i don't pretty big yeah they were for tpc Shredder got in with Goldman. Wealth Management. It made him shave his beard, though.
Starting point is 00:08:50 You understand Shredder? It's a good gig if you can get it. Yeah, I know Shredder. He was a scary fucker, wasn't he? Yeah. He was scary. He'd shred you. That was the thing about him.
Starting point is 00:08:58 I know. I didn't fuck with him. He killed Splinter. Don't say that, man. The the big rat i don't know if there's one thing i don't remember about the ninja turtles it's the logistics of everything yeah i think splinter actually killed him who or tried to i don't know who who was friends with casey jones yes he was the uh very unstable character who just walked around Central Park or wherever they were with every piece of sports equipment.
Starting point is 00:09:30 He had a bag full of hockey stick, golf club, baseball bat, probably the Dude Perfect slingshot, boomerangs, and it was just his weapon of choice. Whatever tickled his fancy that day. Just a jock. That's what he is. He just had a little bit of everything. Also, just kind of a Sting rip-off.
Starting point is 00:09:48 Maybe Sting was a rip-off of him. But were they also doing a rip-off of Grateful Dead? Casey Jones being the name? A lot of moving parts here for the Ninja Turtles people. I totally get that reference. Let's talk about it. It's one of their... It's probably...
Starting point is 00:10:02 If you went to their Spotify right now, Dylan, it would probably be in the top five most popular songs. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, they badassified him in their cartoons. He was pretty tight. But like in the movie, the original movie, it was like, dude, this is just some guy.
Starting point is 00:10:19 This guy's got a hockey stick. There's a way to beat this guy. Yeah, why is Dan Cortez playing hockey with a bunch of turtles right now? He did look like Dan Cortez. Before we totally lose Dylan in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles talk, let's get some official

Starting point is 00:14:34 Played the old Zah card. At this point, do you even have a card? On Friday. You're kind of just living out there. Did you get special clearance from the powers that be in order to go use it since you were kind of on probation just missed that call hold on yeah did you did you get any reports or any requests late on during the weekend didn't actually that's fine i hope it was worth it was a good za did you enjoy it it's always a good
Starting point is 00:15:01 za at home slice man who's you're a man on the run right now. I like it. When you go there, do you get a full pie, or are you just kind of doing your own slices? Full pie. What are you, from New York? No one calls it a pie down here. I feel like pie's in play.
Starting point is 00:15:16 It's a pie play. I mean, it's the proper terminology, but no one down here says pie. What do you call it? Unless you're from New York. Just a pizza? Pizza. It's true.
Starting point is 00:15:25 It's a thing. You're dodging the question. Well, I got a caprese salad. They do a fantastic one, believe it or not. We don't care about that. No offense. And then Brittany and I shared a double pepperoni medium za. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:41 It went hard. Real hard. About a 14-inch pie? 16? What glass of wine? New York style. I don't know. 14? yeah it went hard real hard about 14 inch pie 16 what's the last one new york style i don't know 14 it's a perfect pie for two people it is saturday big day actually i know i i said i didn't do much that's kind of a lie parks had a soccer game they they took the another l unfortunately but he had a blast okay and. Unnecessary. Saturday afternoon we went to the Texas football spring game.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Oh. Got to see a little Arch in action. How'd that go? I watched some highlight tape on Twitter. Dylan, the reason I texted you and asked you how he looked, our mutual friend in another group text was talking about it. He goes, yeah, I heard Arch sucked ass. You know exactly what text was talking about he goes yeah i heard arch sucked ass you know yeah there's there's like some some twitter chatter about him not playing he's 17 they're already writing him off yeah he's he's literally 17 years old man uh he made a couple
Starting point is 00:16:35 nice throws but he's also running with like the third third string o-line anyway yeah he didn't look great but again i think you'll have time to develop is that where you got the sun is he supposed to still be in high school it was a sunny saturday yeah i did get some sun out it was really really hot actually we didn't stay for the full game wait so him playing against like cupcake teams all high school didn't prepare him well for college football at the age of 17 i think it's a little early to write off this 17-year-old quarterback. No, no. I think we should just take his stock now. He's supposed to still be in high school, believe it or not. Anyway, we had a blast, man.
Starting point is 00:17:11 I had more fun than Parks. He was really hot, complaining about being hot. Do they sell beer at that kind of thing? They do. Nice. You know what? I didn't have any beers. I had a water because it was really hot.
Starting point is 00:17:21 You know who I did see who had two beers in his hand as he was walking up the aisle was- Quinn Ewers. Killshot. Killshot. Oh, hell yeah. He was too far away for me to shout him out. I would like, everyone had to look at me like, what are you doing, you weirdo?
Starting point is 00:17:34 Why do you yell Killshot across the crowd? I watched him from a distance. He was doing his thing, man. He had two Carbock Love Streets just stacked up on top of each other. He sold them frat style, you know? Yeah, me and my brother were drinking Carbock. Double stack with one hand. I saw he posted a photo and i wondered if y'all had crossed paths i saw good yeah so shout out kill shot hopefully you hear this
Starting point is 00:17:52 uh sunday just chill man just mega chill didn't do much laid low low-key weekend gotta give some love to carbock lager the mexican lager is very good that's all okay even though i know it's a houston thing they're big astros proponents that's great they make a good beer dude i i think carbock honestly pound for pound one of my favorite breweries in in texas the fact that their most popular beer is the love street makes no sense to me yeah i'm not a big Love Street guy. Dude, I don't – I think overall it's seriously one of my favorites. And I don't understand how that is their most popular beer.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Every time I get it, I'm like, I wish I would have gotten something else. Everything else is better. Yeah. They do some things around the holidays, David. Ooh-wee. Yeah. Imagine you're just out there in the bullpen. You've got some jazz playing you got a typewriter and you just got a holiday edition car box sitting right there
Starting point is 00:18:51 next to your bing bong two two cups of espresso yeah someone's gonna someone's getting some work done like they're writing a novel does brett just nap when we're out there when we're in here recording and he's alone out there is he napping on the couch right now just listening to fucking lo-fi jazz music this is probably his favorite time of day when we're all in here all together and he's out there alone just yeah you know you guys sometimes i will come in here like i'll forget to do something on like a weekend and i'll come in for like an hour on like a sunday morning to just like do it it's easier to do it on this computer you would be so much happier with what i'm doing in here with musically speaking than what brett's doing
Starting point is 00:19:29 in here right now you got some dead and i'm just letting it i'm letting it rip i might have anything going dude you might walk in here you might see just van morrison like some vintage performance rocking out by the way are you enjoying your new record player uh i am i am uh one of the speakers unfortunately has broken uh which is not ideal. But the company that I'm dealing with here has been nothing, nothing but understanding. Ooh, that little crackle, you know, when that thing starts spinning. When the needle hits. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Did you blow your speaker out? Honestly, I don't know what happened. Not sure. I haven't really tested the actual volume of the speakers to its max yet. And so it might have just been a faulty thing, but they're replacing it. I'm happy about that, and I've been happy with everything. You let Fritz get a hold of your Blink Dude Ranch album? Did you guys catch Blink's performance at Coachella?
Starting point is 00:20:18 Dude, I somehow missed that. No. Did they sound okay? Disliking Blink doesn't make you cool, Dylan. Disliking Blink does not make you cool. I won't put that out there. They're very popular. Hey.
Starting point is 00:20:30 I know. Is it going to be the same set? There's no way you could know the answer to this, but do you think it'll be the same set as when they play here? Dave, there's no way I would know the answer to that. Because if not, if... I'm going to watch. Can I watch it?
Starting point is 00:20:42 They streamed it, right? I could go watch it. I believe it was one of their first, if not their first performance all back together since, since everything at Coachella. And from what I, from what I took away from that performance, we would be very happy with that set list. There's a, there's a couple, there's a couple songs that we can look at and say, Hey, these are beers.
Starting point is 00:20:58 These are beer songs. Let's go get a beer. But overall, I think we're going to be very happy with how it goes. They sounded good. Good. You know, as good as they do sound. They're widely panned for being a little reckless when they're playing live.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Maybe not knowing some parts of the songs. That's okay. It's bar chords mainly. It all kind of sounds the same. I would love to get Tom DeLonge on a podcast that features a noted segment, The Space Bar, with Dylan Chivary. Oh, that'd be fun.
Starting point is 00:21:24 We could really turn the tide with you and Blink-182. I'd become a Blink guy if I got to chop it up with him about some space shit. Our friends Jake and TC at the It's Just Banter podcast turned me on to the Tom Stivo podcast. Stivo had Tom on like a year ago. Is it better than the Rogan performance? It's much better.
Starting point is 00:21:41 The Rogan one is one of the most, it's one of the worst pieces of audio ever. It's saying a lot if I bailed on it because I really like Tom. But it's good. It's Steve-O and they're talking aliens. You get to find out what he thinks. It's just bizarre.
Starting point is 00:21:57 You think they're out there, man? Yeah, what are they? Yeah, dude. Steve-O. Yeah, it's hard. That's something rad. Do you guys have any ultra rides this weekend? Yeah, dude. Steve-O. Yeah, darn. That's something rad. Do you guys have any ultra-rights this weekend? Yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Or should I say how many ultra-rights did you have? No, I've been sober for years. Thank you for reading. Yeah. That's annoying. That's an annoying voice for me to do. I'm sorry. Yeah, how many ultra-rights do you have this weekend, Dave?
Starting point is 00:22:20 I'm glad you asked, Will. I didn't have any. It turns out that I can't afford $20 per six-pack. It wasn't in the budget. That's elitist beer, in my opinion. Yeah, but can you really put a price on completely 100% woke-free beer? Yeah, you can. Okay. All my life, I've searched for a beer that was both hard right and 100 woke free yeah and we found it uh guys i'm just gonna get out ahead of it i teased this on twitter last night it was um it was a very very taco filled weekend for uh your boy dave here i i ate a lot of talk i ate
Starting point is 00:23:03 a lot of tacos too david when i of tacos too, David. When I started counting my tacos last night, when I saw your tweet, I'm excited to go. I'm excited to see how this pans out. I'm not saying that I ate the most tacos, but here's what happened. And this is the best part. All part of the same transaction. What? How? Let me tell you. neighbor nick hit me with this carnitas recipe and uh it may it may shock you to learn that i've never actually made carnitas it's not a thing that i i had in the bag however he sent me this uh recipe from a guy he's like a super you've probably heard of him he's a food scientist type but he's got a good recipe you You get like a three pound pork shoulder. It's all done in the oven. Then you boil it. You make your own tomatillo sauce with some of the, some of the liquid fat,
Starting point is 00:23:52 all that did it about a five hour deal. I was very proud of myself. Had a very productive Saturday, had a couple of beers. Um, they were not ultra right. I don't really, I didn't look in, I didn't research to see where the CEO had donated donated but um we'll do that later anyway um from about 5 45 on saturday until about 5 30 last night 24 hour period ish, roughly, estimate. People are saying that I had 12 carnitas tacos. Dinner, Saturday night. Lunch, Sunday. Dinner, Sunday night. We are no longer in possession of the carnitas. It's gone. So you had four tacos per set. I was going to say three meals, 12 tacos. That's four per meal. Correct.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Are these Little Johns? I'm going to need Alyssa to call in here. I'm going to need Alyssa to confirm this number. Who's doing four tacos a meal? Oh, that's because they're not fully loaded.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Oh. They're relatively street tacos. Did you hear what he said? I mean, that's what the recipe calls for. Those look delightful. Those look like a taco day. Hey that's that's what the recipe calls look delightful that's a good looking taco day i'm gonna share i i don't want those look delightful i don't like being the guy who's like oh hey please try this recipe but i'm about to be i think it was it turned out so much better than i thought i was like for sure like these were gonna be mid we're
Starting point is 00:25:18 gonna have to like put a bunch of sauce on them the carnitas by itself you don't even have to do it like this are really good i was so happy with it i was texting another group nobody cared but is your uh is your traeger back in biz no this was all oven oh which is the dope thing wow shred it up you step you uh in like just a little oven pan call you shredder dog for the first time i was at whole foods asking where the tomatillos were you know where the tomatillos are over there you have to husk them yeah i do for sure i didn't know i didn't realize what a tomatillo was anyway i'm not sure i know what it is just peppers oh yeah it's like a tiny green tomato
Starting point is 00:26:01 yeah they look like little green tomatoes covered in leaves. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. So good, though. So good. How about that? So good. Yeah, I did.
Starting point is 00:26:15 I just wanted you guys to be aware that I did have 12 of these. And got to say, last night, started feeling it a little bit. Like, maybe my body was like, yo, dude, you got to mix in something else. like like we like what you're doing that's cool that you you made this but a little variety because the tum-tum's gonna flare up if you do anymore luckily we're out but i will be doing this again but i can't i can't guarantee that i'll ever hit 12 again 12 is is just, it's a PR for me. People forget that I ate 12 Jack in the Box tacos before a high school baseball game one time. People also forget that you once ate 37 hard-boiled eggs at Jason's Deli for lunch one day.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Yes. I was witness to it. I was witness to that. Yeah, it was a wild day. Those look delightful, Dave. Thank you. Those look pretty much right up the alley of my perfect street taco.
Starting point is 00:27:05 SeriousEats.com is where the recipe comes from. Yeah, that sounds pretty serious. These eats? Nah, dude. I like my eats to be a little more joking. Hilarious eats. Banter filled. What else did I do?
Starting point is 00:27:23 My son had commandeered the TV to watch. He's back. He's in on Bluey now. He's on his Bluey bullshit, which is great. So I just pretty much watched golf on my laptop. I was going back between golf and playoffs. And I was like, I don't even want to fight. I'm not even going to like, he can do it.
Starting point is 00:27:40 I'm just in here. Damn. Yeah. He did. That's how it is. He busted out the golf cart again, though, that his grandparents bought him for Christmas or something. Anyway, it was a fun weekend.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Didn't really get out much, but I had a good time. Had a total of six beers. Six beers, Dylan? That's cool, man. Yeah, six. Sixer. Yeah. 1999. six beers six beers dylan that's cool man yeah six sixer yeah 1999 1999 that's what's a keg cost keg well you'd have to ask brett but you won't get an actual answer because brett gets discounts from his guy can get it at cost yeah yeah yeah what'd you do if i was to tell if i was to ask you guys hey hey do you guys want to go to matzell rancho His guy can get it at cost. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What'd you do? If I was to tell, if I was to ask you guys, hey, hey, do you guys want to go to Matt's El Rancho tonight?
Starting point is 00:28:31 It's Friday night, busy. You anticipate that? What time, what time would you say, all right, let's beat the rush completely. Let's beat the rush. How big should we go? What time should we go? 5.15. Before 5.30 5 30 and honestly like
Starting point is 00:28:47 5 15 i've got some bad news for people of austin texas the rules no longer apply no the rules no longer apply um what we're dealing with here is on a scale that we've never seen before the parking lot situation at matzah rancho has become a significant problem uh they they simply can't handle the amount of cars that are there anymore and i think it's i think it's for numerous reasons i think one not enough people are carpooling this doesn't just fall on the establishment themselves this falls on everybody uh two uh they've cut off too much of the parking lot for valet. This is a symptom of just what Austin's becoming.
Starting point is 00:29:31 I don't know if every Tex-Mex spots needs a valet. I don't know if that's necessary. I also don't know if you need to cut off that much. Maybe just say the valet's full. Their parking lot is tricky, especially if you go at the wrong time. If you were trying to park your car at 5.22 p.m., meanwhile, you've already dropped the people off in your car to go get a table. You've already sent them in.
Starting point is 00:29:52 I know this move. 5.22, not happening. Not happening. You're either parking on the grass or you have to park across the street next to a Sonic where your car might get broken into because you might have some golf clubs in there. No place hops like Sonic.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Dude, terrible. Terrible. Just wanted to put that out there. That's a PSA forsa for anyone out there you gotta get there before five o'clock also not talked about enough uh they have a number of spots that are way too tiny like they're they have a number of like compact they're not labeled that whole section back there is for like not even compact cars like for golf carts almost i can usually fit my car into any parking spot the only time that i can usually fit my car into any parking spot the only time that i can't do it is when one someone parks like a dumbass or two uh someone decides to bring their ford f-350 extended cab to the to the parking lot and then park like
Starting point is 00:30:35 an absolute asshole someone's got their h2 you know i can fit i can fit my car in pretty much any parking spot there but it's going to be. You might have to go climb through the passenger side to get into the driver's side at some point. Just putting it out there. It's tough, dude. It's tough. So did you find a spot? I parked across the street from said Sonic.
Starting point is 00:30:58 Oh, my God. Dude, how beaten were you? Did you think about bailing? I've never done that there ever like dude i've always found a spot i've always well i've sometimes i've had a circle for a few minutes but there was a whole community of drifters with me just walking from different locations around south lamar just walking with me to the restaurant how long was the wait i talked to a nice young lady well they told us it was going to be about 20 to 30 minutes. An hour later, we got sat down. They have
Starting point is 00:31:25 a traffic problem. How big was your group? Four adults, three kids. Thought 515 was the number, man. But we will endure. Had a great meal there when it was all said and done. Shout out to Dylan Chivary for putting this on my radar, but I
Starting point is 00:31:43 did, in fact eat some shrimp enchiladas with some suiza sauce they used to call that the dylan when i would roll in there he did he doesn't get that as much these days because he gets things poncho yeah i'm on poncho style shit right now uh i also went back yesterday with noted uh friend of the podcast michael weiner um we went there a waitress came to our table with a bunch of food we had yet to order our entrees and she started to say like who had this i look over and i said oh someone hit him with the poncho style she looked over at me like yeah they did that's a good that's a good call out man yeah i'm proud of you yeah i was teaching you guys so yeah i went to mats twice this weekend that's
Starting point is 00:32:21 really all i did uh saturday uh it was it was a day um a lot of people were asking will we know that you ate at a seafood restaurant did you get a seafood tower no i got vetoed but you know what i did do i had my first cheeseburger since going pescatarian and i'm happy to report to everybody i fucking miss him it's hard to beat a cheeseburger. I ain't going to be avoiding them. I ain't eating any more, but I ain't eating any less. Cheeseburgers are... They're kind of perfect. I also have a take on the very thin fries, Dylan.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Ooh. I think they have a place in time once every year. And I think I got it out of my system, but I was enjoying them the other day. I was just piling those things into my mouth. They taste good. Yeah, they do. They're just so fucking hard to eat.
Starting point is 00:33:07 It's the rosemary. The rosemary is delightful on them. The rosemary that's mixed in with the, that's a nice touch. You either gotta like, you know, pile them together
Starting point is 00:33:16 like a bunch of sticks and pick them up with your fist. That's what I was doing. Or you gotta use a fork or something. Your boy was fisting them. Hell yeah,
Starting point is 00:33:24 fist those zaddies. I miss the good old i'm getting vetoed meant your nephew like put like a cherry bomb in the toilet you were using for his prank show oh don't you're talking don veto yeah you're like your nephew like told you he was gonna get you a massage but really it was a tattoo parlor and you end up with like a wiener on your back or something like okay yeah that's good i know i used to feel bad for don vito when he would get dunked on but then once we found out he was like on aim with like not the best guy not a great look some younger people humans of that nature some younger that's a nice way of putting it some younger people yeah yeah i didn't do shit i just ate a bunch of tacos like my man dave dave did snipe me though i i i came up with my taco number it was eight but i was eating tinier tacos probably also corn tortillas for
Starting point is 00:34:22 the record i was just i was you know your boy's a bottomless pit this weekend. Did you pack a lunch for work today? You got finished at all. You got four more in there? Why didn't you hit us with the gift of carnitas, dude? I will. I will do that, I promise. I will make more carnitas.
Starting point is 00:34:34 I'm going to do it again. I'll fucking do it again. I get it. The fact that you ate it all, the fact that you ate it all makes me happy. But if you ever make gumbo again and I see it showing up on people's doorsteps, I'm going to feel personally slighted. Yeah, the gumbo, gumbo is kind of difficult. You know what's not difficult?

I'm a big Nutrafol guy. I've been taking it now for probably four or five months in a row. Honestly, I think you're underselling how long you've been taking it for. Noticeable difference in my hair.
Starting point is 00:35:42 And honestly, just how I feel. It makes me even feel better. The wife has noticed the hair thickening. And I feel it makes me even feel better the wife has noticed the hair thickening and I feel really great about it I will continue to take it there might be someone out there they're like zoinks Scooby he's already seeing results in four months that's a very specific person yeah yeah it was shaggy who's shaggy that's why his hair is so shaggy shaggy this is shaggy from scooby-doo not shaggy from it wasn't right right yeah that one um but yeah like i said dylan like in the clinical study men show progressive improvement in hair growth in and thickness after three and six months so this makes sense yeah yeah last time i went to the dermatologist
Starting point is 00:36:21 um i saw they had this they were selling neutrophil dermatologists they love it i've told you an uptick in the libido as well which like i'm i'm sharing personal anecdotes here to no i'm not going to get full in an anecdote but right we get it yeah we can draw it does it does uh help there as well if that's something that you desire It does help there as well.

Last night, we had Succession season four, episode four, called Honeymoon States. I had some concerns about how this episode would follow up on one of the more shocking episodes we've ever seen of Succession. If you
Starting point is 00:37:43 are a Succession person, you haven't watched the episode yet go to our notes in this description of the episode and uh move forward yeah i was wondering if this episode was going to be just about you know the the the sad passing of of logan and and you know funeral kind of stuff but they i mean there was obviously they're at his wake but they got straight into business as well which you kind of love to see from that family oh yeah i thought this was this was good i i also had reservations or just thoughts like okay this might be like kind of a maybe they'll do like a meta episode or a concept episode where it's just kendall like and it started out like that and then uh you quickly get the uh vacuum dylan loves a bottle a bottle episode if you will dylan might quit watching the show if that happens
Starting point is 00:38:31 i did get back on my lasso shit for the record damn they roped you back in yeah the power vacuum that's good lasso roped you back in i get it i get. That's good. Lasso roped you back in. I get it. I get it. That's good. Logan had to die for this season to go from good to great. I still maintain that maybe Logan should have died a season ago. Because this is what we've been waiting for.
Starting point is 00:39:02 We've been waiting to actually see things in motion. At least they did it episode three of a 10 season final season 10 episode final season here's the thing sorry are we i'm not satisfied i'm not satisfied i've got six epis left i know but like they're still just they're still just kind of teasing us by by doing anointing two people right now i get that's kind of what they had to do in order to you know allow this intrigue to keep going but like i want to see the origin story of whoever is about to go like absolutely nuclear yeah but this is an interim role so uh you know there's still like there's still a ceo to be named they should have i think i think it would have been more
Starting point is 00:39:44 entertaining had they made the interim person be someone that these three can still gun for the There's still a CEO to be named. They should have... I think it would have been more entertaining had they made the interim person be someone that these three can still gun for the entire time. I want it to be Frank or something. Don't underestimate these writers. Why do I like Frank so much? And their ability to pull it all together. I like every single one of the people that is in the C-suite.
Starting point is 00:40:00 I think they're all entertaining in their own respect because they're all just corporate assholes who are fending for themselves. It's's great when tom threw his name in the ring and then was it uh which one was it who was like well if someone were to to say why you shouldn't be named ceo this might be it was it carl i think it was carl dude you know what he did absolutely eviscerated tom you know the first thing i thought of when he did that was uh like one of the final love island challenges where shack told ron what the public might say yeah why he and uh then after anna that's good though it's good it's a good framing i like that after carl just completely just torpedoed him tom tom just goes jesus carl tom tom's in the heart locker if i'm
Starting point is 00:40:49 tom in that situation though i'm looking at him and i'm being like yeah well you've worked your ass off for the last 40 years for this country or for this uh company and all i had to do was you know marry shiv and i'm kind of in the same running as you are right now so you can fuck off also shiv is pregnant yes sorry yeah yeah in real life as well during this she had it already though right oh yeah they filmed this while ago yeah she yeah she was pregnant irl and in the story of the show so tom has no clue right right right okay and she clearly is doesn't know how she feels about it yet she's she didn't receive that news very warmly she didn't receive anything warmly during yesterday's episode she's yeah she's going through it um what do we think about the little addendum, the document at issue that we never really got a full accounting for?
Starting point is 00:41:50 It looked like there might have been some tomfoolery maybe going to go down, but I don't think they did anything. Made me wonder, and I don't think this is the case, but remember when Tom told Greg, he goes, Logan's got this place wired up like there's cameras in every room wonder if that could come back into play i don't think about that maybe they could go back not that i think tom was fucking with greg i think it's possible someone other than logan doctored that or made the markings on it well the way they reacted to it the way carl
Starting point is 00:42:20 they were all kind of like carl and frank like yeah if i'm kendall i'm walking into that room i'm grabbing that piece of paper and i'm saying all right i'll see you guys later you'll hear from my lawyers i'm gonna be the ceo in the next like week yeah fuck y'all find something more current than this i'm ceo dude i'm kind of stoked that him and stewie are potentially back we needed more we've i've always been in the camp that we need more stewie in this show like whenever stewie's there shit starts moving and shit starts getting hot and fun potentially back. We needed more. I've always been in the camp that we need more Stewie in this show. Stewie's tight. Like whenever Stewie's there,
Starting point is 00:42:47 shit starts moving and shit starts getting hot and fun. Stewie's like the one guy I want to hang out with in this show. I think Stewie makes Kendall a much, Kendall's already for me one of the best characters
Starting point is 00:42:55 not just in the show but just in television in general for me. When Stewie's in the mix, Kendall becomes a different person and that's a great thing. He's so much more fun when Stewie's around.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Yeah. Yeah. His name's Stewie. Yeah, he's kind of great. We've got to talk about Marsha and Carrie a bit. And Willa, actually. Willa's comments to Marsha were pretty great. Marsha, first of all, where has she been?
Starting point is 00:43:24 That's what everyone's been wondering. Just on the phone with Logan. They had made a comment earlier in the season that she'd kind of been, like, haven't heard from her in a while. Okay. On the phone with Logan. Of course, maybe you can verify that with call logs, right? But that sounded like it was a bullshit. Like, she was just
Starting point is 00:43:40 making that up to be like, no, I'm actually still very much a part of his life. Yeah, she's trying to get that bag. Yeah. Now it sounds like she's getting about 60.3 million dollars or whatever she's getting didn't take kindly to carrie i've always viewed her as a potential existential threat to logan and in the family and i it just always seems like there was something something she was up to like she was smart she handled her business um but then when carrie comes in the carrie scene i that was sad that was sad she got she got poured out right there in front of everybody i would have felt worse for her if she didn't suck but unfortunately she sucks
Starting point is 00:44:20 literally yeah she she wants she wants the bag you got no right to it she says that that bag i'm saying like check with the lawyers and logan may have said yeah i think there's he amended that will that's a hail mary probably not that's a hail mary saying can you talk to the lawyers yeah i got news if there were some some papers up there in that office that said you you know, explicitly stated what he wished would happen, they're gone if they in any way benefited Kerry. Because Marsh is not letting that shit happen.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Roman being appointed whatever, what are we calling this? Co-CEO? Co-CEO. Yeah, he's the CEO. Roman getting the nod here, either of them getting the nod is ridiculous. But like Roman should not be getting, he should not be getting this treatment. roman roman getting the nod here either of them getting the nod is ridiculous but like roman
Starting point is 00:45:05 should not be getting he should not be getting this treatment who's got who looks better on paper for ceo roman or kendall because we know kendall everybody knows kendall's baggage they don't know the public doesn't obviously know about the uh uh the dude who died but like his his rehab and drug problems and stuff i don't know i i don't think roman's built for it no i think robin roman deep down is like a kind of a softy and i don't i don't i think i mean all of his like stuff is rooted from insecurity whereas kendall i think is as we're gonna find out i think is i think if i think if i actually had to give like an actual take here i would just probably offer that none of them are ready for it but i just simply want kendall this is like me talking about casey and love island i might not think that casey's the best person but i still want i still want him in
Starting point is 00:45:57 the mix so i can laugh that's how i feel about kendall yeah like kendall kendall should not be ceo of any company let alone like one of the biggest media conglomerates in the world it's a disaster but like at the same time that's exactly who i want it to be i thought shiv should have fought a little harder to be like no i'll be the i'll be the other person it's like she was okay roman she should have been i think yeah they are right like she really hasn't had much to do with the company at all. And she's always been the person who's been most visibly maybe out. She's always been working with those politicians.
Starting point is 00:46:30 She's always been doing that kind of stuff. Yeah. Connor just making an offer on the house. Like during the wake to Marsha, who I guess Marsha gets the house. Are we still doing, yeah. Are we still doing spit spit shakes i don't know you said you're only doing spit roasts these days right 63 mil it's a lot it's not legally binding is it a spit handshake probably not dave you're the
Starting point is 00:46:58 lawyer you tell me that's how i'm gonna start greeting you i'm not gonna shake you back but then the marsha and willa exchange was also funny she's oh look at you now that you've married a long way look at us good for willow great comeback good for willow i'm pumped for willow yeah she's in uh pumped for her she's in high spirits their honeymoon is is him campaigning throughout like swing states or whatever that's i was so depressing that's the most depressing part of the entire episode i really enjoyed when uh when they were talking about maybe potentially slandering logan's name in order to uh get some juice behind kendall and roman and the scene ended right before the scene ended like you just had kendall go uh yeah maybe uh
Starting point is 00:47:41 because we're like we're at my dad's wake, maybe we shouldn't shit all over my dad. Like, yeah, but... But then he went straight back to Hugo and said, go, go do it. Dude, Hugo... Hugo's a really good character, but... Dude, Logan would... Hugo's trash. Logan would want him to do this, right?
Starting point is 00:48:02 Yeah, that was his justification, and I think that's right logan wants the stock price of his company high even from the afterlife yeah he i think he would want this and that's what that's what i hope they do hugen was his daughter that was the insider trading yeah juliet why would you tell him that in that scenario i don't know why he told him has anybody ever okay never mind just the way he had that conversation with his daughter at the beginning it's like dude you didn't have to put it in those terms didn't he say you you effed me in the a with a strap on yeah it's like you don't have to get that specific hopefully he wasn't talking i guess was he talking to his daughter
Starting point is 00:48:40 when yeah i think so it's terrible There's another way to go about that. Like the last part, you don't really need to emphasize with that. Like the point's been made. And Tom just trying to latch on to anyone he could. I'm here to serve. Everyone. Tom's journey going forward will be very fun to watch.
Starting point is 00:49:03 They're soft for ending the season. Or ending the show after this season. We need more. I need more than just one season of having someone as an actual successor. And we're not going to get that. Is there any chance for a spinoff? I was just thinking.
Starting point is 00:49:21 A spinoff would just feel, it would feel grosser to me. I might be into a Like a spinoff would just feel, it would feel grosser to me. I might be into a Connor political spinoff. What if they do like, what if they have a spinoff where like Roman is the CEO and they call it like Roman Empire? Oh, that's good. That's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:49:40 And then suddenly like it's just him. Because they know Kendall's got other ambitions. He's like such a method actor at this point. They're they're like yeah we can't get him to keep doing this show that dad would want it that way yeah yeah yeah did you notice the uh the political guy the guy that that was speaking when connor was watching and called him like a neocon or whatever did you recognize him the guy with the glasses that was given that like toast yeah of course okay yeah he's in uh he's in office space he plays what's his face basement guy yeah milton or something yeah that's him that guy that guy pops up in hbo stuff yeah he's made a nice little career he took my stapler that guy dude you crushed that that's good dude you crushed
Starting point is 00:50:26 that dude i know i'm really good at that check us out on the stream room did you guys hear about uh papa escobar's cocaine hippo man i was hoping that was an ad read hey um i forgot to mention we can talk cocaine hippo here in a sec i I know the body dropped in Austin that we might need to touch on. We don't need to detail. Honestly, I'm good right now. You don't want to talk about the serial killer? We don't know that. Speculation.
Starting point is 00:50:55 Also, yeah, let's talk about the hippo instead for now, instead of the dead body. I'm concerned. Although this hippo, I will say, this hippo doesn't have a happy ending, but hippos in general make me happy. So how does this hippo, I will say, this hippo doesn't have a happy ending, but hippos in general make me happy. So how does this hippo do cocaine? It doesn't do cocaine. Its nostrils are kind of on the top of its little snout.
Starting point is 00:51:13 You got to salt bay it into its little nostril. It's a very dangerous job. You guys are familiar with Escobar's hippos, correct? That's a very well-known thing. He brought a bunch of hippos to Colombia, and now they have a hippo problem in Colombia. It's an invasive species there. Well, apparently a hippopotamus, per NBC News, a hippopotamus descended from animals illegally brought to Colombia by the late drug kingpin Pablo Escobar died in a collision with an SUV on a highway near Escobar's Hacienda. You guys ever looked up where he spent the last years
Starting point is 00:51:42 of his life? No. Pretty swag spot. If you're calling your house a hacienda, it's got to be kind of dope. Yeah, I mean, he had like a soccer field there and shit. Just fucking chill-ass little vacation spot. What's that place in Tulum that you can rent out? It was one of his old vacation houses. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:52:00 What are you talking about? I don't know. I always avoided Tulum whenever people talked about it. It's like you can rent out. You can go stay in Escobar's old house in Tulum it's like oh sounds kind of cool actually yeah yeah yeah that's fine until like you start like taking edible and then you think you're haunted yeah you take what you take one single early bird and then you start being like huh i'm in mexico i'm staying at the x house of a drug king pin should i not be here i know you're gonna try to find some bang bang from someone on the beach?
Starting point is 00:52:26 No. No. If anything, I'm hoping that I don't have some dude dressed in all black fatigues drop in on a rope and have night vision on. It's been a while since he's lived there. I think you're probably safe from that kind of stuff. A dude dressed like our guy Raf from Texas Dives? Dude, exactly.
Starting point is 00:52:44 Exactly. That's the kind of guy i want in my dive bar you know yeah she's not i don't want me in my dive bar no look if you walk into my establishment i'm doing something wrong no offense am i kind of surprised that how fast does an suv have to be going in order to kill a hippo that suv is probably jacked up too because a hippo as as most people know it's a very large animal like a chevy with a lift kit oh maybe maybe a dually could have been a dually sure i mean most suvs are not duallys those are trucks pickup truck maybe it just had a camper and the person who wrote this story was mistaken what do they do with all the cocaine inside of the hippo after it gets hit does it just
Starting point is 00:53:28 like poof everywhere and like settle in the street so sound like cocaine it's gonna be tough to dispose of a dead hippo can you eat hippo meat yeah i don't know i don't know i'm sure someone's tried it but i so well the first thing that comes up isn't whether or not you can eat hippo. It's can you eat hippo during Lent? That's a good question. Okay. What's the answer?
Starting point is 00:53:53 I mean, I don't know. Despite their bulky bodies, they have strong prey, drive, and easily hunt. I don't know what that sentence means. So people often wonder what might be the taste like, but hippos are commonly eaten in West africa and sold as an expensive delicacy across northeastern congo which is why they're oh i know i'm thinking about right now never mind that's a lot of meat hippos are very large yeah apparently it tastes uh is mild less than lamb but more than beef and is slightly more marbled than usual
Starting point is 00:54:26 venison sounds good circling back more than beef i would i would i would try hippo one single time yeah what's the weirdest meat you've ever eaten uh snake probably oh yeah i've had rattlesnake at a brazilian steakhouse in denver i don't know what the most random meat that i've ever had is i had ostrich once is that weird yeah it's a bird though you know bird doesn't seem as weird to me it's a flightless bird like birds eating a bird is i feel like like all birds are generally the same thing to eat. I get what you're saying. But I also ate mine at a Mongolian barbecue in a strip mall.
Starting point is 00:55:14 Was it Tan's? And so you could, it was, no, but I think it was something very similar. Tan's Mongolian Grill? And so I don't even, like you could tell me it wasn't even ostrich and they just had the the the claim there i've had quail but the most most random meat i've had had to have been on spring break when i had rattlesnake i ate rattlesnake once that's all it was in destin destin edge hasten areas i thought
Starting point is 00:55:47 you were doing a bit i did too you didn't eat rattlesnake it's rattling it's rattling when you don't when you don't do a bit when we think you're doing a bit you didn't go on spring break and eat rattlesnake you don't know my friend's story we're adventurists what was the restaurant uh marty's mart you ate a snake at marty's marty's has really good yeah i heard they have really good yeah you ate taco bell and what a burger marty's uh southern smokehouse is what it was called and they had smoked rattlesnake i'm gonna look this place up sounds good it came with a nice au jus what is it called marty's what southern smokehouse i've heard of that it's closed now though oh really Nice au jus. What is it called? Marty's what? Southern Smokehouse.
Starting point is 00:56:25 I've heard of that. It's closed now, though. Oh, really? Yeah, this is like you have to realize I'm old, not quite as old as some, but I'm very old. They didn't even want cancel culture coming after them, so they removed all the information about themselves off the internet just in case. They did. There's a Marty's barbecue in North Carolina. I don't think that's the one. You got that T-shirt, right?
Starting point is 00:56:44 I remember you lost that T-shirt. Yeah. But it said said i ate the rattlesnake at marty's yeah oh okay was i there no you weren't there we went we went together once and we not really but we were in the same we didn't end up at the same bar and i hazed you you did not like hard hazing i didn't haze you technically hazing but you did direct me to do something i didn't haze you. Technically hazing, but you did direct me to do something. I didn't haze you hard enough. Look how you turned out. Y'all are about to suck for y'all.
Starting point is 00:57:13 Yeah, you were right, turns out. Didn't you make Dave mow the lawn covered in baby oil? I just made him. He got very burned that day. I made him bring me $67 worth of Taco Cabana one night. That was somebody else and uh and i didn't pay him back that was somebody else like two in the morning it was sick yeah somehow i didn't know i even know who that was that did that and like i've never even met this
Starting point is 00:57:36 person i just know i just know enough about the inner workings of y'all's fraternity at this point all i did was eat one taco and i threw the rest away right in front of his face. I'd probably go into that garbage and take those tacos out if I'm being honest. Try to think what other like weird meat I've had. Quail.
Starting point is 00:57:56 What? Quail's not weird, is it? You thought that's where I was going. Yeah, quail's not weird. Like that's normal. It's not, but like I had quail made into like we shot quail and they made it into like breakfast sausage patties.
Starting point is 00:58:08 And it was fine. I was like, a lot of work for this. Quail and dove don't do much for me. Dove, yeah. I've never met a big dove guy. This doesn't taste good. I just couldn't get over the crying that the doves did before you killed them and ate them.
Starting point is 00:58:24 The fact that they can make chocolate out of those birds? I've never understood that. Like, what part of the bird did that come from? Hey, I don't know if we want to know the answer to that, right? Also soap, right? Is it poop? What?
Starting point is 00:58:38 What the fuck are you talking about? Dove soap? It's what we call the brand name. Yeah, I think the soap's the brand name but yeah the chocolates are just made from the bird oh i guess i didn't realize that sorry yeah so i didn't understand what you're doing there okay oh it was a nice weather weekend boys yes it was i agree it was some concerns i had some concerns it was a little a little drizzly earlier in the in the weekend maybe early friday but me personally i love when the weather starts to warm up get in the yard digging in the garden it's one of the best parts of spring and sunday

Starting point is 01:01:17 sometimes when you order a food from a, you can leave special instructions, right? You know, if you want something done, oh, tomatoes on the side or whatever, you can do that. In turn, we've been notified about a receipt that details an order, a steak burrito order. Randy, if you may. Got ourselves a steak burrito. Okay. Add the good stuff. Not sure what that is.
Starting point is 01:01:50 Can go a lot of different directions with that. White rice. They chose one scoop of steak for their protein. They add the good stuff again. Pico de gallo, shredded cheese, romaine, sour cream. Special instructions. Now, this is where we really get interesting. I'm going to read this.
Starting point is 01:02:09 Extra cheese, in all caps, to you, hardworking guac shop cheese technician. I say this. There are two kinds of people in this world. kinds of people in this world. People who take from us and whom consume our energies and people who come into our lives and leave a positive impact. That is you. Please leave as much shredded cheese as humanly possible inside of this burrito so that I may go quietly into the night with serotonin and dopamine levels that only pharmaceutical medications can rival. and dopamine levels that only pharmaceutical medications can rival. That's a lot of cheese.
Starting point is 01:02:50 How many scoops of cheese is that? What kind of dopamine bump are you getting from that? I've never gotten a dopamine bump from cheese. Really? I do like cheese a lot. You can over-cheese, though, very easily. It sounds like we might be in danger of over-chees there's an over cheese situation going on i never have faith that when i actually put in like handwritten notes and by handwritten i just mean like the custom notes and these things
Starting point is 01:03:14 i never have any faith that they're actually going to read those and actually accomplish them so i don't do it is that unjust should i have more faith in the the people reading these receipts probably so i just assume that like if they see that like there's a decent chance they're just going to gloss over it and be like eh it's delivered to them does it like they're not going to they're not going to actually complain about this just just say extra cheese you'll probably get the same amount i was going to give you anyway yeah can't this guy just pay for like four servings of extra cheese randy i can help you out here jimmy johns we probably miss these special instructions like that like 40 of the
Starting point is 01:03:44 time so that's that's a lot something big like this like you'd probably miss these special instructions like that 40% of the time. That's a lot. Something big like this, you'd probably see. But if it says cut in half in the special instructions and not where it's supposed to say cut in half, we'll probably miss that all the time. Yeah. And that's not me slighting the workers. That's more me just thinking,
Starting point is 01:03:59 you're just grabbing receipts and going. So if there's some special note on it, I just assume you're probably going to miss it more times than not. Why upset myself? This is too much cheese. Yeah, I'm trying to think where this much cheese would be acceptable. I mean, this is a burrito, right? So it's wrapped up in theory.
Starting point is 01:04:21 You're going to take that first bite, and it's just going to pour out. It's just a lot of cheese. But is this the only way he can eat his burrito? That's the question. That's the question. Dylan, what? You look perplexed. No, I just.
Starting point is 01:04:39 That's a lot of effort to craft a personal or additional instruction, you know? Was this guy high? Yes. Was he smoking? He got two of these, by the way. He got two of these, by the way. This guy was on some sticky shit. I know I noticed that.
Starting point is 01:04:51 He didn't just want one. He wants two of these burritos with all the cheese in it. Maybe the other one was for his lover. That's too much gas. Dude, if you and your lover are eating this much cheese before going to bed, I got news for you. Those covers are going to smell like toots in the morning. I want to know where this is from.
Starting point is 01:05:10 You know, it's hard to say. I assume that the good stuff is something that actually is, like, something that they say on the menu for this restaurant. Got to be. Yeah, it got to be. Every item has the good stuff added to it. Because that's just too much good stuff. There's so much good stuff, and it's just too random. So, yeah, it's stuff added to it. Because that's just too much good stuff. There's so much good stuff and it's just too random.
Starting point is 01:05:26 So yeah, it's truly hard to say. Maybe they were making this for Kenny Chesney. Ooh, there's the good stuff cold and there's the good stuff hot. You see, if you notice on the... Which one do you prefer? I don't know what the good stuff is. But if you had to choose one, hot or cold? Cold.
Starting point is 01:05:43 Cold what? Cold good stuff right okay i don't have anything more here but no i don't do that i hoped i hope that this guy got the uh the amount of shredded cheese that he needed in order to enjoy his uh his mexican food it conveniently cuts off i i get maybe he didn't want to uh disclose his credit card information but i would like to know if this man tipped and what what amount he tipped because you know that's another thing that's a good point if you make a request like this you better be prepared to tip if you're making me read a restaurant or I'm at an establishment that I think should have a tip screen when they don't now. And I'm like, wait, wait, wait. I feel kind
Starting point is 01:06:34 of bad that you're not getting, you're not getting the tips that you should be getting. You know, that if you just work at this similar place down the street, you could probably be getting tips because they actually have that, that system with ipad yeah have you experienced this yeah or the place that has the tip jar but not the and you're like dude like i can't nobody's cashless society do you take bitcoin break you off a little sprinkle some coinage i thought you're gonna have something to say no i don't no i don't sorry don't can't get past is the good stuff over here yeah i do kind of want to know what the good stuff is before we uh convene today can we talk about our good friend billy mcfarland
Starting point is 01:07:16 dylan you were writing him letters while he was in prison and i know that the relationship that you two grew from that is something that you'll never be able to forget. Yeah. Basically, the gist of what I was sending him was like, I still believe in you. Don't let the haters get at you. And if there's a Fyre Fest 2, you can expect me to be there with bells on. You showed me one of the letters that just said, let me be your next Ja Rule. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:42 I mean, I'm not expecting him to partner with me as I don't as I don't know if I have a lot to bring to the table influence in that regard but um you can you can count on me being there you think that would be a downgrade because I mean wasn't he Amrata Amrata Kendall Jenner and one of the Jenners but now he's just Dorn. Don't forget Jaw. Jaw, too. Yeah. But Emrata, that was peak Emrata. Are you saying I'm not at the level that Emrata's at when it comes to influencing?
Starting point is 01:08:12 She's just got a little bit more clout than you. Not by a lot. I don't think she has a tweet that went as viral as your Deez Nuts tweet. Probably not. But I think just based on her Instagram performance, I think she's got a little bit more juice. we're getting a fire fest too he is tweeted fire festival two is finally happening tell me why you should be invited this was about a week ago um should we go and uh why should we be invited i if if we got invited i would be in favor of going because it's kind of like when when chipotle
Starting point is 01:08:54 has an e coli outbreak the best time to go is immediately after because you know they're like they got their shit together like all right we can't we can't keep giving our customers diarrhea we have to do everything by the book we cannot screw this up so you know this is like his last chance there's no way he's gonna fuck it up again right he can't botch it nearly as bad as last time it's like when they say like don't get the romaine lettuce at the grocery store everyone's getting diarrhea and no one can leave their houses that's when you go get it because you know that they're taking the bad stuff off the shelves right then so you don't have to worry about it you just gotta throw yourself back in it's the best time yeah so i i think with that in mind yes i would go will i get invited probably not i feel like we could get an
Starting point is 01:09:40 invite i feel like we can figure this out if we need social numbers we can leverage the scaries account in order to get an invite for the squad that's that is going to happen you're gonna you're gonna go to this through scaries like billy like the dms are open all right if you if you get a free ticket free access are you going you have to you know what would depend dude the coverage like the the content you create needs to see the lineup yeah i don't know it depends on the lineup man i don't need to remember blink was supposed to be on firefest one a lot of bands backed out of firefest one when they realized it was all sham when they saw that sandwich the sandwich is what did them in the living conditions there's never been a time quite like when the picture of that sandwich first hit Twitter
Starting point is 01:10:26 and we all started just looking around like, oh, this could be good. This could be good. It was an all-time Twitter day. It was a fun day. There were certain days in the bullpen at Grand X where you just knew that things were going to be good that day in terms of content. And that was a day that was up there with the demise of Vine and stuff like that. There was just
Starting point is 01:10:45 something palpable going on it might be a mount rushmore twitter day and i don't i don't i know that's a major thing that i just said but no no no i i think i agree with you what does anything else jump out as a mount rushmore twitter day because i i agree this is there the vine day was really big vine day was fun because everybody was just that was like more of like a that was like a that was like a happy funeral yeah vine deck yeah somebody likes break the site because they embedded like 40 vines on like a column it was kurt yeah i did all the best vines and uh yeah it's a good call and it it it you couldn't load the column because i did so many embeds the the bandwidth wasn't there. The servers literally were. Micah must have taken the day off because the servers were not iced down.
Starting point is 01:11:28 Were not iced down. Oh, man, that's a good question. I'd like to think about that. We've done a segment on this before, I think. Probably have. Probably have. At least once every two months, like, something will pop up. You're like, dude, that was such a fun day at the office.
Starting point is 01:11:42 We've also done a segment on um like events throughout history that twitter wasn't around for that would have been huge like oj evading the police for example that would have been a mega a mega day jt jt uh a halftime show with uh janet jackson would have been an outrageous time to be on twitter twitter not around i don't remember what year that was. It was like 2004, 2005. Oh, yeah, that was about that. Yeah, dog.
Starting point is 01:12:09 I was talking on MSN Messenger to baddies left and right. He was talking to baddies. You see that ish? Dylan was writing letters to baddies. Missed it completely. All right, man. Good stuff. Power pack show
Starting point is 01:12:25 he did tweet it in in my least favorite um twitter exchange maybe of all time mcfarland uh tagged elon musk and said but elon musk fire three definitely needs to be in space that i'm so i'm not going oh my god for that reason we might we might have to be out we might have to be out i don't think the logistics are there the tech's certainly not there can you imagine if if your fucking spacecraft landed and you looked around and you were like oh shit the camping here is not great where am i gonna fucking sleep these are the moon pies it's like dude these moon pies looks like shit i'm gonna tweet them they don't even have mars do they even have service up there how would you get service space link how would you post
