Starting point is 00:00:00 All right, we're back circling back podcast coming to you from the watch media headquarters in Austin, Texas. My name's Will. To my left, known traveler, David Roth. They know me. They know me. You step in the airport and you're just known. I was just, I was just picking my seats for upcoming flights and like, I was like dude you know I'm going middle seat. You know I'm going middle seat. You know I'm a middle boy. Dude. I'm a great middle. You like to make friends on the flight.
Starting point is 00:00:52 And I don't like paying an upcharge for a preferred seat. That's pretty much it. The middle is kind of nice because you always have something you can like fall asleep on if someone's next to you. Your neighbor's shoulder? Yeah, it's annoying when you're on the aisle and you don't have anyone to lean on when you're wanting to sleep. That's tough, yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:13 I really hate the pick your seat thing because it really makes you feel like small baller. Because like, what do you mean? Okay, the flights that we have upcoming more on this later, they were just booked. Mine was like just booked. So I'm going there and I'm like, all right, I'm going to pick my seat. I'm going to get an aisle. So in case I have to use the restroom, that's not an option. And there was one and it was like, we can get this seat for $37.50.
Starting point is 00:01:38 I'm like, ah, here's the thing. $37.50, huh? I agree with you. I think it's ridiculous how the airlines are operating. My wife would would snap at me and tell me, well, you shouldn't have done basic economy. I said, well, why like why? Why does basic economy now mean you can only sit in the middle seat on a Delta flight? That's right. You know what I would say?
Starting point is 00:02:00 Huh? Hurts nobody. Yeah. Basic economy. I got only there was an airline that would let you choose your seat as you Basic economy. I got only there was an airline that would let you choose your seat as you sat down. I got a window for all my seats. I didn't pay. Wow. This guy's are you more known than Dave? We're not flying from the same place.
Starting point is 00:02:15 I'm better known. You're flying a little baller. Austin Berkshaw. I'm flying from O'Hare. Mr. Mr. Worldwide. I believe we have the same flight on the way back, though. Mr. Global Entry. No, do we? Oh, yeah, I believe we have the same flight on the way back, though. Mr. Global entry. No, do we? Oh, yeah, I'm on your flight. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:02:32 We're now on the late flight or unless did you get yours? Move by 40 something. Yeah, I'm on that one. So we are. Well, I must have been. I must have got rat assed because I'm a. Hey, sucks to suck. What is the F and rat stand for? You know what? Maybe I'll just go in and
Starting point is 00:02:47 I'll see. Yeah, I've done a lot of travel and I'll just I'll just use that old company card and upgrade. Do it. Fuck you. Do it. Upgrade. There's only upgrade. First class is only 590. I'm in I'm in favor of Dave upgrading to first class if Dylan gets an aisle seat. It's only 590. It's only fair.
Starting point is 00:03:01 It's only 590 dollars. Dude, if you think about that, that's not that much in the grand, our national debt is trillions of dollars. Like $590, not that much. It's a content play. I'm gonna be up there just doing content. You've seen Salgal, what she does when she's on a plane?
Starting point is 00:03:16 Think about that, but it's me. Dave's, what do you call him? Known traveler. Known traveler with Dave Ruff. Dude, that's not bad. That's not bad. That's not bad. I've got a number and everything. That's how they know me.
Starting point is 00:03:31 Dude, I'm in the system. Dylan Shivery. Thanks for the intro, Will. Inspired by our friend Dave Ruff over here, I also am now on Cameo. OK. So I need to hop on the cams? I signed up yesterday afternoon and I did zero promotion.
Starting point is 00:03:48 I didn't talk about it anywhere. I got a DM at 9.02 PM last night. Okay. I'll leave this young man's name out of it, but he said, Dylan, you rock. Let me know if you want to make money to make videos of your footwear and feet. See, it'd be super easy and it'd mean a lot from you.
Starting point is 00:04:08 Let me know because I'd be super dude. It'd be super dope. Hold on. I'd pay on Venmo or PayPal that preferred. Please make DMS free. I didn't know that it costs money to DM people on here. He paid 299 to send me this message. Wait, Dylan, there's an on tap market and like I don't get me wrong. I understand. DM people on here. He paid 2.99 to send me this message.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Wait, Dylan, there's an untapped market. And like, don't get me wrong, I understand. I understand the logistics around selling feet pics. I understand the moral turmoil that might be existing there. I understand, I understand like the possible, I don't like to use this word in this case, but like you might be embarrassed. Like, oh, I'm selling feet pics.
Starting point is 00:04:44 There is more than $590 to be made here. If I did it, I'm going to move in silence. You could fly in first class in silence if you just started selling feet picks every once in a while. I think one month would show you like, oh, this is a life-changing amount of money for my feet. I don't know if it's going to be life-changing money. You've been blessed. It's like beer money. You've been blessed with feet. I don't have the willpower in me to deny so many people
Starting point is 00:05:12 the opportunity to see my feet. No one's ever even asked. I'm one for one on Cameo. I've got one five-star review. Do you wanna read it? Said from the recipient himself, nice to get a personalized message from my fave circling back member as my fave blink member
Starting point is 00:05:28 Ten out of ten thought this was one of the weirder cameos. I've purchased that I had to explain to my wife Probably because your request was that I wish your friend well on his move across the country as either Tom DeLong or Dominic Hoshick Okay, okay. Those are the two options. You didn't go with the dominator? I didn't go with the dominator. I decided to go with Tom.
Starting point is 00:05:51 So, hey. Hey. What's up? I wish you well. Oh, God. Hey, Mom, I'm moving across the country. Happy birthday to my best friend, Tommy. Let's drink beers on a porch in the backyard. Yeah, I feel like
Starting point is 00:06:10 there's a market for you on there. Anyway, we can play some beer die. Someone found me. I don't know how. Well, sell your feet pics, Dylan. You know what I was doing at 902 PM last night? Sleeping? No, I had one of those moments last night where you remember a really uncomfortable moment from your past and you start to overthink it. And then you start to think, like, do you think other people think
Starting point is 00:06:34 about this embarrassing moment that I did? Ooh. Do you wanna hear my embarrassing moment that came into my brain last night? Yes, please. Okay, I was sitting there and I don't know why this came into my head, but I was at a 4th of July party, probably
Starting point is 00:06:46 if I had to guess 15 years ago. And I went to the bar to go pour myself a glass of wine. And I got distracted in conversation with one of my friend's moms. And while I was pouring the wine and I didn't realize how much I had poured in my glass. And my buddy Todd rolled up to me and looks down at my glass
Starting point is 00:07:05 and he goes, Jesus, DeFries, look at that glugger. And I had like, my wine glass was like filled like four fits to the top, just way too much wine in the wine glass. And everyone looked at my glugger of wine. And I was just sitting in bed last night like, damn dude, do you think everyone thought I like had issues? Glugger, he said.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Like I had a straight up full like, turvist tumbler just like- You had a glugger. Topped out with wine. Straight up meniscus on top of that thing. What you just described there is essentially age 35 through age 38. That's pretty much your entire life is putting your head down at night and then thinking about some embarrassing moment from sixth grade or like some shit from like your freshman level economy class
Starting point is 00:07:49 that you're like, oh my god, do they remember me? Does that person think about me? I always had the anxiety after getting like hammered at a bar and like the next time I'd have to go back to that bar and be like, man, I hope the bartender that over served me is not there. I don't want to see him again. Like it's going to be embarrassing. Yeah. I think about, I think about stuff like that too. Not no gluggers involved in mine. No gluggers.
Starting point is 00:08:11 No gluggers. Really? Yeah. How about handshakes that I fuck up. I thought you love some big glugs. Dude, you do fuck up handshakes. No, I, no, it's not like a regular thing. Did you, did you ever learn to DAP properly?
Starting point is 00:08:23 Yeah. You got a DAP problem. I'm a great DAPer. Are you? Yeah. I had to get DAP in the office the other day. No one called it out though. Generational DAPage. You're kind of DAP deficient. There's one really embarrassing moment from fifth grade that I remember very well. Every Friday night in fifth grade, we went to Playland skate park, not skate park, indoor rollerblading rink, whatever. And I think the whole fifth grade was there,
Starting point is 00:08:56 at least the cool people were. And I was talking to these two girls and a song came on and I ran out of things to say. I was sitting there just in awkward, like 10 seconds of silence. And I, for whatever reason, my instinct was to start dancing to the song that had just come on.
Starting point is 00:09:12 And I was like, and they were just looking at me like, what's this guy doing? I just skated off. And I don't think I ever caught a song. That might've been the smoothest thing you've ever done. I don't remember the song. I like imagining Dylan backing up in his roller skates, dancing to like- That was when gangster's paradise. I was gonna say that that blew up the skating ring
Starting point is 00:09:29 That was the one where everybody would get nuts at our place too, but it wasn't that song I would have weird al totally ruined gangsters paradise for me. Yeah Like amish paradise for some reason just gave me the creeps bad I hated it hated every single bit of it. The skating rink is when you really realize that there was like a... There were bad kids, not just like bad kids who were like talking in class, but like kids who would go behind the skating rink and smoke cigarettes or kids who would be doing some stuff with the other sex that you shouldn't be doing. But you know, a little bit of heavy petting. Uh-huh, heavy petting.
Starting point is 00:10:09 We didn't have an indoor skate place. I didn't have one late enough in life to appreciate it. It's one of those things I only went to when I was like four years old and then it went away. We did have the skate park. Yeah. But nothing really went down there. It was just once a dude's like throwing pieces
Starting point is 00:10:24 of wood at each other and tripping each other as they dropped in. I believe it was on Burnett Road really went down there. It was just a bunch of dudes throwing pieces of wood at each other and tripping each other as they dropped in. I believe it was on Burnett Road, no longer there. That's what's up. Yeah. The skating rink in Duncanville is still there and thriving. Redbird Skateland. Really?
Starting point is 00:10:35 It's where I learned to play roller hockey. It's where I learned that I was not in the cool class in fifth or sixth grade. My dad dropped me off there one Friday night. I realized I was the only one who brought my actual blades because I was playing hockey at the time and everybody else ran into quads. So the regular roller skates. Dude, that's tight though.
Starting point is 00:10:52 I think that's tight. No, they made fun of me, dude. That's lame. That's their insecurity. I mean like, damn, Dave's with this. The cool kids had the quads. And I remember like walking in, looking and seeing like who from the class was there.
Starting point is 00:11:04 And like, I immediately was like, went back, called my house, told my mom, I was like, can you have dad come back and get me? Did you all do this? Well, first of all, I was nice on the blades, believe it or not. Do you all do this, though? If you showed up to Playland and you had the brakes still on your blades. Oh, yeah. You got laughed out the gym. If you couldn't, what do you stop? If you could, you know, what were you doing?
Starting point is 00:11:23 I didn't know it's like this. You just got stuffed in a locker. No. If you even tried to T-stop, get out. Yeah. You couldn't hang out with my crew if you had your brakes still on. Yeah. If you couldn't skate backwards, sorry, buddy. Sorry. Damn. I don't think we had even an equivalent here. Really? Yeah. Y'all didn't ice skate? No, we had an ice skating rink, but it wasn't that big of a deal. I don't know. Everyone skied so much that like going to the ice skating rink was just like,
Starting point is 00:11:51 whatever. Like, I don't care. Much, much cooler. I don't give a fuck about that. Hey, can we make a major announcement? Randy turned back. He's out of the office. Where the fuck is he? Where? I don't know where he went. He just didn't show up this morning. Kind of weird. He's been acting kind of quiet and weird lately. So maybe he just needed some time off, but we're going to give it to him. And so this is our formal announcement
Starting point is 00:12:12 that it's audio week until further notice. We're bringing audio back. Next week as well. Oh yeah, next week's audio week as well. And so just sit back and enjoy the sounds in your ear holes. If you want to see us on video when you get, or when Randy gets back, youtube.com slash circling back. We also have Dylan's track house.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Dylan has been formally trained on how to set up Dylan's track house. youtube.com slash watch media. See you Thursday. We'll be praying that it works. I honestly thought about that and I was like, wait, did Dylan learn how to do that? I went through it one time.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Randy, to his credit, gave me excellent instructions. I have no excuse to not give this one. You are making fun of the specificity of his instructions. One of the steps is turn TV on. Hey dude, that helps. That shit helps, dude. He didn't miss a single step.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Nope, can't. And right now we're doing a lot of work behind the scenes for the all new Washed Media shop. Washedmedia.shop will be your destination for anything to burn down in over the fall. That's right. If you want to burn down in something, we got stuff for you to burn down in.

My freshman year of college. After a big night, buddy would walk into our room just with a speaker just blasting, Oh, What a Night by Frankie Valley.
Starting point is 00:14:51 Just letting everyone know that, yeah. Yeah, we might've blacked out on Natty Lights at the K.A. house last night. I knew some dudes that let me in cause I'm a GDI. Back in 63? Five? Back in 63. What? Back in 63. What a very special time for me.
Starting point is 00:15:09 This guy just hooked up. This song's just about like, you met a young lady, you can't get her off your mind. I don't use this phrase often, but I think it applies to Frankie Valli. Something tells me that he was a coxman back in his day. Do you wanna know his birth? Yeah. Yeah, buddy. Can you wanna know his birth? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Yeah, buddy. Can I give you his birth name? Sure. Francesco Castelluccio. Okay. That's dope. Do you think he's ever done like some shows as Francesco Castelluccio? It's just too many syllables.
Starting point is 00:15:39 It's a lot. It's good though. It's a strong Italian name. Is that eight syllables? It's eight, yeah. Francesco Castelluccio. Yeah, you gotta change it. You gotta go with the stage name.
Starting point is 00:15:54 I don't know, man. Well, if you would have asked me a few weeks ago if Frankie Valli was alive, I would have said he died in COVID. Okay. And I don't think he did. I think part of him might be dead based on the videos that have surfaced. All right. Because we don't have any video today, we are simply going to play some of the audio and let you know what's going on here. Well, I think the audio is not going to really...
Starting point is 00:16:20 Turns out he sounds really good based on the audio. And this is courtesy of our friends at Katatonic Utes. It's probably one of the best follows out there. If you have a Friday night and you want to go ahead on an absolute warm hole of musical content, mostly bad and hilarious, follow Katatonic Utes. Here's Frankie Valley. This is all concert footage. I'm going to play it now. Also, we posted this on our story on Circling Back. Hit me on the grom. Sounds pretty good.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Sounds just like the record. He hasn't lost his step. Okay, you gotta watch the video. So you know how there's some controversy about the the commander in chief, the president being a little old. They're kind of like, all right, what point is this like really, they shouldn't have him out there, right? For a number of reasons, but he's very old and it feels a little that's what this is. This is worse. Not for a country, but just for the guy because Frankie Valley is like 90. And they're trotting them out there and they've got, you know, the rest of the they've got, you know, they don't have the entire band, they don't have the other the four seasons there, right?
Starting point is 00:17:41 Those guys aren't around. They've got three younger guys that are doing like full dance and they're singing. A lot of energy actually. A lot of energy and they're like, you know, mixing it up with the crowd and they're like- Choreographed dance moves. Why is he doing this?
Starting point is 00:17:53 And then they stroll Frankie out. I mean, dude. They look like small venues. He's not getting paid much for this. Like, why is he doing this? Dude, he's just got the love of the game, dude. All he knows in life is performing. There's no way. He's just an old bag of bones now.
Starting point is 00:18:08 He's not even remotely close to lip syncing. What he's doing is, it looks like an animatronic. He's holding a mic up to his mouth and they're playing the song over the speaker. I think Joe Biden truly wanted to be president and be in the situation he was in. I don't think he wanted out. I look at Frankie Valli performing was in. I don't think he wanted out. I look at Frankie Valli performing these songs and I don't even know if he knows where he is. We got to save Frankie. Like he's just singing on Muscle Memory alone. I think we... Okay, if we're going to do an Ocean's Eleven heist, I think we call up Firehouse Subs guy. No, he loves Frankie Valli. You know he loves Frankie Valli and probably wants to save him too. You know that he knows like all the back entrances
Starting point is 00:18:47 to all the casinos Frankie Valley's performing in at this point. They're not the high dollar casinos. No. What's like a real like beaten down circus circus. Oh no. Okay. That's where he's performing,
Starting point is 00:19:00 but not even in like the main venue. It's like the lounge area. I would pay, I would pay money for him to not sing and just tell like stories. Yeah. I would listen to Frankie Valli tell stories cause you know he came across some unsavory characters. I think his family's putting him up to this
Starting point is 00:19:14 to like pad their... He must not have been... Inheritance a little bit, you know? I think there's a 22 to his head until he gets on stage. I think when he walks on the stage, that's the first time he doesn't have a gun barrel pressed up against him. He's a Jersey guy, he's a Jersey boy.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Dude, it might be the mob, dude. Why is the mob not being okay? What if they're using him as a money laundering? They're laundering money through Frankie's performances right now and he doesn't have any way of getting out. Somebody's gotta make it right. Somebody has to slide Frankie, I don't know, a couple bands, a couple hundred bands, and say, just let's call it a day.
Starting point is 00:19:53 I mean, I'm worried about him. What year was he born? 1934. Mike, that's too old. He's so old. He's old enough to remember World War II. He's bag of bone status. Very much so.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Um, I've got fond memories of being like driving home from like Staken Hill with my my family and like 98.7 K Love on the radio and just hearing big girls don't cry and really not knowing what the song was about, other than like a literal interpretation of the song. I'm like, what the fuck? Okay. They don't cry.
Starting point is 00:20:30 They don't cry. Should we start a barbershop quartet on the Lolo? You know what's funny about that? No. When he was coming up, he worked as a barber. Dude, I get it. Really? I get it, dude.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Yeah, Francesco Castellucciano. Or wait, what was it? If I could get my hair cut, if I could have Francesco Castellucciano. Or wait, what was it? If I could have Francesco Castellucciano shape up my mullet, I would do that. There's no way a guy with the last name Castelluccio would touch your mullet. He would cut all the back of the mullet off and just slick it back. He would give you the best slick of all time. He would kick me the fuck out of there. Slicks only is the name of his barbershop. Yep.
Starting point is 00:21:03 out of there. Slicks only, is the name of his barbershop. Yep. Come on down to slicks. Well, Frankie, I hope they bust you out like relatively soon. Like, I just, I don't, it doesn't feel good knowing that you're out here just like performing like this. Don't spend your golden years this way. His mouth is barely moving when he's on stage. He just looks like, he looks like Christopher Walken doing an impression of someone not moving. Yes Valley has appeared as an actor in Miami Vice as mafia boss Frank Doss full house Sopranos as mobster rusty Emilio and Film and so it goes. You know what we We wish him well. We are team Frankie. We just want the best for him. It's not nice to if it look.
Starting point is 00:21:52 It's the way they're like rolling them out, because like the three other guys, they'll be like singing. And then when the falsetto part comes on, they kind of like part like this, you know, they open it up and like bring him out. And he just walks out And everybody goes nuts. It's walk is generous. It's it's a shuffles. He shuffles out and Everybody goes nuts. This just to see him Shuffles is there something to that? Like is there gonna be a point where like blinks up there and Tom rolls out literally rolls out Most people know just want to see him. Most people know when to call it though. You know, do they? I don't know if they do. You know, I mean, we're talking about this because it doesn't happen. Willie's not quite like Frankie Valli. No, he's not. No, but he can't hit his
Starting point is 00:22:37 vocals are gone. It's not good. He's like, he has like 60% strength in those vocals. Yeah. I love Willie, but yeah, seeing him live is not a thrill at this point. It's more just like, okay, cool. This is cool. I got to see Willie. This is cool. Like when you're Frankie Valley's age,
Starting point is 00:22:55 why do you even want to do this? Do you still love the thrill of being in front of a crowd? Mafia. God, I would honestly pay money to hear him just sit down and just answer questions. Because when you're around Vegas for that long, this guy's been through the rise of Vegas, the mob shit in Vegas, he's a Jersey guy, he's got great stories. To Pock and Cal.
Starting point is 00:23:18 I don't know if he knows much about Pock, but that's a great, I would actually want to know. The mob side of Vegas, I know mobs notoriously do bad things. Sure. The mob side of Vegas, I know like mobs like notoriously do like bad things. Sure. Like the mob side of Vegas is pretty sick. Oh, so sick. Like when we went and played Las Vegas Country Club, which is where they did a bunch of casino stuff
Starting point is 00:23:33 and everything, just like, it was just cool. Just knowing like, oh, there were hitters in here at one point. You know the legend of, was it Bugsy Siegel? Eh, eh. And why Vegas became the city that it is? No, so one thing I would like to do is I'd like to read, I'd like to read a short book
Starting point is 00:23:50 about the history of Las Vegas. According to legend, and I don't know how true this is, probably 0%, but Bugsy Seagull, mobster, was driving through the desert and pulled over to take a piss. He was like, let's build a casino right here. And that was the center of Las Vegas. These casinos always win.
Starting point is 00:24:06 That would be me. That would be me. We've been stopping every five miles to piss. I'd be like, hey, let's pump on here. Dave, we can't do a casino all over the country. Dave would build the strip in a day. That entire stay would be covered if it was up to me. What would your first casino be called?
Starting point is 00:24:24 Ooh, Golden Shower. Okay. Oh, what would your first casino be called? Oh, Golden Shower. Okay. Oh, man. I thought you were going to say like the Grand Dave. Oh, yeah, that's good too. It would be the Known Travelers. That's a good, dude, that could be a good band name. That's the name of my travel leisure podcast.
Starting point is 00:24:38 The Known Traveling Band? It's good. That could be our barbershop quartet name. Known Traps. Known Travelers is our our fish cover band. I don't really know how it ties into fish but um how about a blues traveler cover band? Yeah, they're kind of doing that right now themselves. What if we had a blues traveler cover band but it was called Blows Traveler? Okay. Okay. What does that mean exactly? Um just wherever the wind takes you. Wherever the wind blows you. Did you see
Starting point is 00:25:10 Jack White's uh tour announcement? No. Jack White is on tour. ACL one time. Um let me let me pull up his announcement and read it for you guys. One moment, it says, hello, and love all the people in the world out there. Lot of folks ask, oh my God, how many pop-ups are you gonna have, Rolling Stone? Come on. These websites are desperate.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Lot of folk at. God, dude, it's like four. Dave, this is insane. What are you doing? No, I don't want notifications from Rolling Stone on my desktop. Like, what are you... Hello, in love to all the peoples in the world out there.
Starting point is 00:25:54 A lot of folk asking about when we're going to announce the quote unquote tour dates. Well, we don't know what to tell you, but we're on tour already. It started at Allegiant a couple of weeks ago. People saying that these are pop-up shows we've been playing. Well, you can call them whatever you want, but we're on tour right now.
Starting point is 00:26:10 These are the shows, quote unquote. We won't really be announcing dates in advance so much. We'll mostly be playing at small clubs, backyard feats, and a few festivals here and there to help pay for expenses. Shows will be announced as close to the show date as possible. Some shows won't even decide to do until that morning. I also want to walk through orchard fields and grab apples off trees at will
Starting point is 00:26:32 and fill my belly full of that fruit if the desire strikes me. I'm looking for that cool breeze, you know? Lots of love and rock and roll to all of you. And you are blessed for giving that love to others. We hope that we see you on the road soon. If not, let's get coffee and a slice of pie sometime. Music is sacred.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Johnny Guitar." Like what, dude? Shut up, John. Why are you doing so much? Like, oh, cool, dude. You're traveling. Oh, you're a traveling band that's doing pop-up shows, eating apples off trees, having pie with the common folk.
Starting point is 00:27:06 What a weirdo. Like- Have you ever listened to Jack White talk? He's an interesting feller. Why does he do? Why? It's so much. You're not Tom Sawyer, brother.
Starting point is 00:27:16 He's a big baseball fan. Loves baseball. Who's his team? Cubbies, I think. They actually did a draft within the white stripes of his most satisfying sounds and he picked all baseball sounds. The roar of the crowd, the crack of a bat. That's great.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Like if you're like a Jack White super fan, are you just kind of annoyed like, hey man, like I would love to just give you my hard earned money to go see you play live, but you're kind of making it difficult on me. He may not be allowed to. Why? Contractually.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Yeah, fair. No, but if he can put out an Instagram like that, that's enough to get you in trouble if you can't do it contractually. He was probably advised against him, but he didn't anyway, because he's a bad boy at rock and roll. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:56 He'll probably be doing the thing when he's 90. Hey man, it's cool, man. Who else is doing it too long? Bob Dylan. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Is he still doing it? Yeah, he's still doing it. It's Bob Dylan. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Is he still doing it? Yeah, he's still doing it.
Starting point is 00:28:07 It's not good. Mick Jagger at least like. No, Jagger still got it dude. 50 year old. He's still got it. He's doing the appropriate drugs to keep him on the up. Bob, we're very old, but still very much with it. Yeah, he's not like, you know,
Starting point is 00:28:19 he's not firing at the pace that he was before, but like he's still in a good spot and he surrounded himself with people who can carry a lot. Does it make Jagger just work out constantly? I think he does. Bob Weir does too. Oh yeah, he told me that. Bob Weir just does a lot of mace workouts,
Starting point is 00:28:34 stuff like that. Does he really? Loves it, dude, he loves it. His entire TikTok is just him working out. I like the couple of his songs, but he's a little bit overrated for me. Bobby? Mace.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Bobby! I was at Lifetime off William Cannon, working out. He didn't say that. He might though. That'd be weird if you saw Mick Jagger at the gym. That would be weird to see him anywhere really. I'd be bummed to see like a favorite of mine at the gym. Why would you be bummed? see like a favorite of mine at the gym.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Why would you be bummed? I saw the guy from Midland. Because it's different approaching someone in a gym than approaching someone somewhere else. You wouldn't be able to approach him. If it's someone that I really like loved and wanted to approach and at least just give them like a, hey, big fan, really thanks for all the work you do, whatever, one of those.
Starting point is 00:29:19 Like in a gym, I'd be more gun shy. It's like, I don't want to interrupt this guy's workout. I interrupted the lead singer of Midland working out. I didn't interrupt him kidding, but I did see him up there. He used to work out there. Who's the Irish golfer that worked out next to it lifetime? Shane Lowry?
Starting point is 00:29:33 Shane Lowry, yeah. Right next to him for like 30 minutes. A man of size. Yeah. Yes. He's getting after it though to his credit. I know someone who saw Tosh Oakley and Devin Bregman working out in Austin
Starting point is 00:29:45 Oh my god. Yeah, they had to stop working out KJ was outside of the gym barking the entire time They felt unsafe What were they in town for I think like a book deal some kind of book signing Certain member of my household I informed that person that those people were in town. How do you know that David? And she wasn't that familiar immediately and I showed that person. And she's like, oh, I was like, ah, I thought it was more of a known thing. Maybe you'd be like.
Starting point is 00:30:18 Dude, they're famous famous. That's what I thought. I guess. Well, I would recognize Bugman but not the other one in public. Well, they stopped at Terry Black's first, which I really appreciate it. Not a bad first stop. When I imagine people who own a swimsuit brand and then pump that brand through their huge followings, I don't imagine them going to Terry Black's first. Fair point, yeah. It's not a health play. It's not a stay lean play.
Starting point is 00:30:47 Can we talk Barack? Yes. I guess in this case, we might be talking Barack and Roll. That's pretty good. Pretty good. He released his summer playlist yesterday. I think we've talked about this in years past and I'd just like to do a quick go-through
Starting point is 00:31:01 of this right now because I still maintain that there's no way he is putting together this playlist on his own. No. He's got everyone on here from Shaboosie, Charlie XCX, Billy Eilish. I just don't see him sitting around listening to 365 by Charlie XCX. It's just simply not happening.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Dude, so many of these are just off the top 40 list. So a few years ago, maybe even not even a few, it could have been like last year, someone found Obama's daughter's Spotify account and one of her playlists was just straight up like this, his summer playlist for something. And it was like, oh, she's just making this and giving it to her dad.
Starting point is 00:31:42 There's no way that she's sitting around or that he's sitting around curating this. Barack's not on whatever, not Epstein's plane since that's what Trump was on, but he's on some private jet just like scrolling through his Spotify. You think he's a Spotify guy? He does mix up some oldies though.
Starting point is 00:31:57 I guess, I guess. But he's got like, I do kind of believe that he would like No Diggity by Blackstreet in summer 2024. That song is always a player. That Shibuzy song, a bar song, it's really getting too much play. Similar to Million Dollar Baby,
Starting point is 00:32:16 they're just getting worn out. I don't even know the song. Really? You know it if you, they're TikTok songs, right? Like there's songs that blew up on TikTok. It is quite, it's quite catchy. A bar song by Shaboosie, but it's kind of song listen to five times.
Starting point is 00:32:33 It's like, okay, I don't need to listen to the song anymore. I've made my summer playlist. Would you like to hear it? Sure. These are gonna be my most listened to songs from summer 2024, okay. As you guys know, I'm going through Brat summer. Right. Von Dutch, Charlie XCX. I think it might be my most played Spotify song at the end of the year. I need to dip into Charlie XCX because I'm so unfunny.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Dude, she's like 31. She's right in our wheelhouse. Okay. It's great. I'm going to spin her today. We Bring the Boom by AJ and Big Justice. You guys familiar with this jam? Yeah. The Rizzler. I bring the boom. I bring the boom to you. Does this look familiar? It's the Costco guys, dude.
Starting point is 00:33:18 They put out a banger song. The Costco guys? This guy doesn't even know the Rizzler. Dude, you don't know the Costco. You don't know the Rizzler? I don't know the Rizzler. Oh dude, you would know him if you saw him, I feel like. It's like a father and son duo
Starting point is 00:33:28 who just go to Costco and shit. But they came out with a rap song that my son's now obsessed with. Yeah, I spawned it yesterday after you sent it. My son is also obsessed with this song on my playlist. I Can Do It With a Broken Heart by Taylor Swift. Have you been listening to that, Dave? I feel like that would be a Lyssa fave.
Starting point is 00:33:43 Probably. You know, it's been getting a lot of play in the office lately? Not necessarily around you guys, but me, Randy and Brett. Chandelier by Sia. I fuck with Sia. Dude. I don't know that song.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Yeah, you do. You just don't know you know it. Okay. This is a whole, do you know it kind of play for you. And I just, I don't connect. It's probably her most popular song. Yeah, I think that's fair. Give me a stanza.
Starting point is 00:34:14 That sucked. Oh, okay. Edit that out, Randy. Dude, you kind of low key snapped with that. You did. I'm more of a Frankie Valley guy. Yeah, I've got Frankie Valli, Oh What a Night 1963, super disco breakin' by Beastie Boys. Dave, when's the last time you dipped into Hello Nasty? Is that Body Movin'? Yeah. Body Movin'?
Starting point is 00:34:34 Yes, you should dip into Hello Nasty for the first time in a while, because I have to say, if there was any party that liked Beastie Boys back in the day, Hello Nasty really lives up to its reputation. I did like the Beastie Boys, but I will say one of my least favorite songs of all time is Brass Monkey. I get it. I get it. I hate Brass Monkey more than anything. I respect that the Beastie Boys paved the way in a lot of
Starting point is 00:34:54 ways in hip hop. They were very influential in a lot of things, but some of their early songs are just not good. There are some really bad early songs from them girls Durned earned earned earned earned. That's not a good song either. No, it's not Sabotage though, you want to talk good. That's one of the best videos of all time. I know that one Cochise do you Do we want to see Biden's playlist no, it's probably a lot of Frankie Valley I would like to see Biden's playlist? No, it's probably a lot of Frankie Valley. I would like to see Trump's playlist straight up. He puts off doesn't listen to music vibes.
Starting point is 00:35:32 Yes. I could see Trump having that take. All right. I honestly, I think that that's out there. I think that's a known thing. Does Trump listen to music? He controls the music at Mar-a-Lago with a big iPad and a Spotify playlist, David. There's no way. Dude, this is per Axios, man. There is no
Starting point is 00:35:53 look. They even, they even. What is he playing? That's what I need to know. Tropical House. He's banging that soldier boy, dude. Kid Rock. Taste of Sax. He likes Phantom of the Opera. So do I. Jesus Christ superstar Elvis heard this article. Dude, family opera goes so hard. I think there's an orchestra side of me that's yet to be tapped.
Starting point is 00:36:16 Phantom of the Opera. Give me the nutcracker. Inside my heart. Give me the nutcracker, I'll go off. Did you and your boys ever do the nutcracker move? We called it a hickory nutcruncher. Can you explain what that means? A hickory nutcruncher is where you pin your boy
Starting point is 00:36:35 on the ground and then you grab him by the ankles. Okay. And then you put your foot between his legs and you threaten to stomp his nuts. Okay. It was like assault. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But in middle school, you know.
Starting point is 00:36:49 We never did that. We would deploy that probably, we would deploy that once a sleepover in middle school of like, all right, let's hickory our buddy. No, we kept it light, you know, just doorknob, gopher. Nut taps. Yeah, just ball game, safety. You played nutball though, right?
Starting point is 00:37:07 I know you played nutball. I played nutball not long ago. I would play nutball on a bachelor party right now. Ooh, man, it hurts a lot more these days. What kind of ball you using? Whatever the bachelor party house has. I almost think at this age, we have to go like tennis ball or something. My friends and I were savage. We played with a fucking bowling ball.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Really? Yeah. Dude, that's sick. Dude, that's sick. Dude, that's sick. Nutball. Nutball was good. Hickory nut cruncher. That's where you just tell your buddy like, hey, I'm going to send you to the hospital now. Yeah, I'm good.
Starting point is 00:37:47 I'm going to ruin the next few days of your life. Yeah. I'm going to make sure you don't have kids later. I'm going to make sure that you have to figure this out and go through a lot of trauma in life. I do respect that the summer playlist is still a thing that he's doing. He doesn't need to do it. No.
Starting point is 00:38:03 It's pretty extra. It's a way for him to maintain relevance and maybe make the Utes remember him from a summer playlist and not the many, many, many drone strikes carried out, including one on American citizen people don't talk about. But yeah, the playlist is, it's a good playlist. I don't know if he's the one who curates it, but at the end of the day, you got to respect it. It's playlist. I don't know if he's the one who curates it, but at the end of the day, you gotta respect it. It's got a little common on there. Oh, Nora Jones, love Nora Jones, Dallas' own.
Starting point is 00:38:31 Nora Jones, she's gonna be playing ACL this year. She is. I might go catch that piano set. That would be a good one. I don't know how that plays at ACL. She's early in the day, I think on Saturday or Sunday, weekend, I think. And I think it'll be a nice little entry point for me into the ACL Fest that year. You know what? I'm just going to go warm
Starting point is 00:38:50 up with some little Norah Jones. Weekend two day, get your wristband. Week two. Wicked, wicked two. Make it happen, bitch. You won't. You won't, bitch. I am going to forgo first class on the flights and I'm going to divert those funds to Dave going to ACL. You could easily expense ACL. I mean, I'm going to, it's a content player. You could write that off. So much content.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Dang, look at North challenge. Great. Actually speaking of music festivals, do you think we'll see Barack Obama at Bourbon and Beyond September 19th through the 22nd at the Highland Festival grounds at Kentucky's Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky? I don't know why you'd miss it. I do dabble. What's your, what are your favorite brands?, Kentucky. I do like Burman. I do dabble.
Starting point is 00:39:25 What are your favorite brands? Oh man, I like the Eagle Rare. You're a pretty big fan of the Angels Envy, right? Oh yeah, Angels in the Outfield, Great Flip. I'm sorry. If you're not familiar with Burman and Beyond, it's time to get familiar because Burman and Beyond's unique
Starting point is 00:39:39 immersive festival experience includes some of the best music talent in the country. They got country music, Americana, classic rock, alternative rock, roots, everything. But in addition to the music, they've got a wide range of culinary programs from some of the country's top chefs, along with an array of bourbon tastings and workshops
Starting point is 00:39:54 showcasing America's best chefs in Louisville's bourbon and culinary culture. Me personally, I'm pretty jazzed on this, boys. We got everyone in the mix right now. Stinging Beck on Thursday, Dave Matthews band at Tadeski Trucks band on Friday, Zach Bryan, Cody Jinx on Saturday, Tyler Childers and My Morning Jacket on Sunday. I gotta imagine one big holiday by My Morning Jacket hits absolutely different on a Sunday evening
Starting point is 00:40:18 in Louisville, Kentucky, their hometown. I can't decide which which evening will be my favorite. Right now I got my eyes set on that Tedeschi trucks band show That's what I'm most excited for any familiarize myself. I'm I'm in for whiskey Myers. I have to love them love them So good, we might even be able to meet Maren Morris in the middle. Oh Dude, I see what you did there. Yeah, we'll be there by the way. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we'll be on the premises We'll come holler at you. No barking Dylan. For more information on Bourbon and Beyond, please visit bourbonandbeyond.com. They believe in quality over quantity, so please drink responsibly. There's a link to purchase tickets in the description of this episode.
Starting point is 00:41:01 Since we're going to be there, should we, I don't know what the the schedule looks like. I haven't seen an itinerary. A lot of Louisville, Louisville backers maybe. Hit us, meet us up at the old bar. There was a pizza spot that we hit during Derby last year that's owning so much real estate in my brain. It was one of the, we went double pepperoni on them. Which is such an underrated move. So full disclosure, there's no guarantee that we'll get to like sit down and do an interview with any of these people, but we can try. We've been given the contact info for pretty much all these artists.
Starting point is 00:41:39 And I'm wondering if there's, if there's, I don't know, if there's somebody we're not thinking of on here that would be really cool to talk to that's like a lesser know. Kelly Craft and the other dude, if you will. If Brett gets me Hornsby, I'm gonna annoy Hornsby so much. I would like to talk to Hornsby quite a bit. Not only because he is the number one most listened to artist on the golf course, but obviously his time playing keys with the dead,
Starting point is 00:42:08 his intermingling with the great Rick Carlisle and Bill Walton, he's got some stories there. Hornsby would be a blast. And I've heard him like in interviews, he seems like a very normal guy. I want him, I want Hornsby. Give me Hornsby. Let's request it.
Starting point is 00:42:23 Do I make you Hornsby, baby? Don't say that to him. I'm gonna say that to him first. Hey Bruce, do I make you Hornsby, baby? Shagadelic. What do I, if you want some bourbon? Mary Morris. Do we want to talk to her? I feel like we do. Yeah, we want to talk to Mary Morris. You kidding? I would like to do a full on Lilith Fair interview with Melissa Etheridge, if I'm being straight up honest with you. So on that PDF, she's the only artist that has, there's no information regarding like publicist,
Starting point is 00:42:55 booking, any of that. She has, it's all blanks. You just DM her. I don't think she does anything. We're just DMing her, dude. I'll just DM her. It's fine. Sting?
Starting point is 00:43:04 No. Okay. I'm just DMing her, dude. I'll just DM her, it's fine. Sting? No. Okay. I'm just, I would interview Sting. You know, Brett is like the biggest Dave Matthews band fan there is. He showed up in Austin, Texas with a sticker on the back of his car.
Starting point is 00:43:16 I know. Swag. I've seen him lie like a million times. Zach Bryan's the obvious answer. Yeah, but I don't know. He's the hottest. I don't have as much to talk about with Zach Bryan as I do with, you know, Bruce Hornsby and Lyle Love it
Starting point is 00:43:26 I feel like he would be much easier to talk to than those guys because he's in our demo Yeah, he'd be easy to talk to he would he would mix it up about pretty much anything Let's see what happens. I may as well try Matt I put on the request list. I did put matchbox 20 I feel like rob thomas has some stories probably I went to I've got some santana questions I did put matchbox twenty. I You must have been swimming in it summer 98. I don't even know if that was on. That song absolutely took over. It was crazy.
Starting point is 00:44:06 I remember being at the pool and just being like, no one's listening to anything but smooth. Yeah. Can we talk about something this week and things that we probably don't need in life? The Anthony Bourdain biopic. Why don't we need that?
Starting point is 00:44:19 I'm seeing a lot of backlash. I don't know if we need it yet. It wasn't that long ago he killed himself. I think we could maybe get a little distance from it before monetizing it. How long has it been? If I had to guess, four years? About that time? I don't know. There's takes out there. One of the takes I saw was that we already have hundreds of episodes of him like showing his life on camera. I don't agree with that take really, because like, I mean,
Starting point is 00:44:49 it was, if you think that he was just traveling around with the camera crew, just doing whatever he wanted, like you're mistaken. Well, the one I saw, people would be like, if you knew Anthony, I didn't, turns out. If you knew him, he would hate this. He would not want this done. Oh really?
Starting point is 00:45:03 Yeah. Okay. I don't even know who Dominic Sessa, the guy who's been cast to play him is. Are you guys familiar with this guy's work? No. I think it's a losing battle with Bourdain people. Bourdain people can skew hard-o. I think anyone in the chef community can skew hard-o when it comes to being protective of the chef community. Does that make sense? Sure. Chefs are chef people. Now I don't mean that in any other way
Starting point is 00:45:26 of just like chefs, there's like a code among chefs it feels like, we're chefs. No, we don't have to worry about that. We're chefs. Bourdain just has such a fan base that's like so about him that like there's never gonna, they could choose an unknown and he could crush it and it probably still wouldn't do that well.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Beloved figure. Dominic Sessa has less than 100,000 followers on Instagram. I looked up, I just looked him up. I don't recognize him. I've never seen him before. He's got a- He looks like he can play the part. He's got a cool look.
Starting point is 00:45:53 He looks cool. Yeah. He looks like you see him like smoking cigarettes and like, oh, that's about it. That's all I can really come up with. But just, he passes the eye test for me of people that are playing it. Like, Barrett and I talked about it briefly
Starting point is 00:46:06 on retail therapy, but like, Timothée Chalamet getting casted as Bob Dylan, like, what are we doing? I get he's like one of the most famous actors going right now, but- I can kind of see that, actually. He's too, yeah, he's not gruff enough. They can gruff him up, though.
Starting point is 00:46:19 I know, but I just have concerns. Yeah. Oh, look at him gruff him up. Not gruff him up. Oh, gruff him up a little bit. Yes, this dude's got a little star power, star quality to him. I did watch that show occasionally, the Bourdain show, and it was so good. He had an aura. He's got it. He had it. I never got as into it as I wanted to. Insane skibbity riz.ity res. I've been saying that I wish you hadn't said that. What
Starting point is 00:46:48 do you mean? There's no video doesn't skibbity. You can't clip it. I don't even know what skibbity means. I don't either. I know it's a word that the young ones are saying I thought it was usually paired with like skibbity Ohio res. I feel like that's an oxymoron. What does skibbity mean? Skibbity is a word that has multiple meanings, including a slang term in a reference to a viral YouTube series.
Starting point is 00:47:13 It can mean bad or cool, depending on the context. It's all about context, Dylan. You understand what you're saying? Yeah, I do. It can also be used to start a conversation that's filled with quote unquote brain rot, which is slang for when someone's brain turns into mush from obsessing over something.
Starting point is 00:47:30 See, this is what, go back to fifth grade, you're at the roller rink and you're standing there with those chicks, you should have just hit them with the skibbity instead of whatever dance you did. Yeah. What dance could you possibly call? Instead of slinking away,
Starting point is 00:47:41 I don't even know. Snapping your fingers, rolling backwards from these girls. It wasn't like I chose like a specific dance move. I think my shoulders just started to roll and I was like, just feeling the music. And I was like, this is fucking so awkward and terrible. So I just skated out of there. The hottest girls in school standing in like a semi-circle
Starting point is 00:47:56 while Dylan rolls up on his roller skates, hits a quick robot and then slinks away. It was not good. Not a good look. I like that you just pulled your parachute and got out of there. Well, see y'all later. All right.
Starting point is 00:48:09 I didn't even say bye. I just fucking bladed off into the sunset. There goes Dylan skating off. Skating out of this awkward situation. I think I took the next Friday off. I didn't go back. You gotta give it some time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:21 Maybe take a sick day or two of school. My buddy was hitting on a girl one time and he buckled. We were watching I was watching it go down because I was pretty invested. I wanted it I wanted it to happen. I liked both of the people a lot. And it's lived with him forever. He just buckled in the conversation and said, So do you do you like Katy Perry? Oh, God, because there was a Katy Perry song playing
Starting point is 00:48:43 and we were like, dude, you could not have butchered that more than you just did. I've got one that sticks with me outside the movie theater. And it was like, this is ninth grade, a young lady who like I had known for a while. It was known that we like both thought each other were like cute. And we saw her outside the movies
Starting point is 00:49:02 and she was with her girls and I was with the boys. And I went over and her name was her name was Jody. And I just like, Oh, Jody, I said it just like that. I go, Jody and she like, look like smiled, like excited. I was talking to her and I just kind of was not and I go, so and that's all I had. Oh, no. She was like, hey, and then that was it. And I just walked off because I was like, oh, and I all I had. And she was like, hey. And then that was it.
Starting point is 00:49:26 And I just walked off, because I was like, oh fuck. And I had no follow up. Dude, that's so skippity. It was total Ohio. That was Ohio, man. Poor Ohio. Ninth grade was a tough year.
Starting point is 00:49:39 Ninth grade? Ninth grade, the hormones are kicking in, the skin's not great. Ninth grade is when all your female friends just don't care about you because you can't drive yet. You know, the hang out, the older guys, you are low totem pole. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:54 You're trash. Yeah, trash. I had oily skin and I was always self-conscious about it and like, it was just like awkward, awkward time. I was wearing like really baggy Abercrombie stuff, which turns out like would hit now. Yeah, you were on it. You're good, dude. But back then it was like, what? What is that?
Starting point is 00:50:15 I was just on my ish. Freshman chicks are the worst. They're and we even had our own school. We had a ninth grade school. Oh, we did. Completely separate. That blows my mind. We were like nine grade schools. Oh, we didn't. Completely separate. That blows my mind when people had ninth grade schools. Yeah, we were co-mingling like crazy.
Starting point is 00:50:27 It was honestly, as far as bad behavior, the ninth grade school was the biggest problem. Dude, every, I'm not kidding, ninth grade, freshman year, my cousin was a senior, ripped up star athlete every single day. Every single day, I'd be walking down the hall at some point and he would pick me up and put me in a trash can. That's so mean. Every single day. I respect it.
Starting point is 00:50:52 But I think I'm better off for it. I respect it. Like I think I'm a better person because that was happening to me. Put you in a trash can. Trash can every single day. That's good. I mean, dude, Dave, you were nice with it.
Starting point is 00:51:04 I was hitting that shit. If I was Jody and you walked up to me and said, Jody, sup, I'd probably hit you with the sub back. It was, I mean, it was such a bombing. I just, and I knew it. It wasn't like a, how did that go? How do you think this went? It was like immediate, like, well, go back to the car
Starting point is 00:51:24 because you had one friend who had his driver's license, got in the car and they immediate like, well, go back to the car because you had one friend who has driver's license got in the car and they're like, dude, how'd that go? Not good. Not good. It actually went really, really bad. Imagine outside of me throwing up or shitting my pants, it went pretty bad. I was talking to some girls waiting in line to get into Ricks in Ann Arbor at one point and I tried to convince the girls
Starting point is 00:51:47 that my buddy had just gotten done filming a real world season. It's like, no, dude, he was just filming it. Like he's just back. Like we're celebrating now because we haven't hung out in a while. And my buddy was going along with it. And like one of the girls looked at me and was just like,
Starting point is 00:52:00 even if it is true, that's kind of embarrassing. Like no one watches that anymore. How am I not impressed by that? And I was just like, what? Like, are you really? Like, I thought I had this. I thought it was the perfect lie. That is a wonderful lie.
Starting point is 00:52:12 Like how do you not fall for it? How do you not confirm? What year was this? Wait a minute. Like what era? We were probably, I think we were 23 because I think my buddies had just graduated and we're like living in the area and stuff.
Starting point is 00:52:23 And so I think it was one of those situations. True story. They so I think it was one of those situations. Two story. They didn't buy it. I thought it was a great icebreaker if you're gonna lie to someone to start off your relationship. Nobody likes you when you're 23. Exactly, exactly.
Starting point is 00:52:36 Could we talk about a little thing that happened in New Zealand real quick before we get to this weekend in Fon? Yeah, what happened? There was a food bank and they gave out a bunch of candy. That sounds nice. Sure. Sounds nice. Turns out the candy had a bunch of meth in it. Oh, no. What do you do? What do you do if you get home from work and you
Starting point is 00:52:53 realize that your son has gotten into your meth candy? You put them to work. You give them like a vacuum cleaner to take apart and put back together. Says a charity working with homeless people in Auckland, New Zealand, unknown they distributed candies filled with a potentially lethal dose of methamphetamine and its food parcels after the sweets were donated by a member of the public. Did this guy know?
Starting point is 00:53:14 I would probably try meth candy. The guy who donated it? I would do one single meth candy. I would try it. Is this like an elaborate prank? I would do one single meth candy. No, you wouldn't. Yes, I would.
Starting point is 00:53:23 I absolutely would. One? Dude, I've done Adderall, took a molecule away. It's all the same shit. I'm meth-ing you like candy. Yeah, but it's meth. It's a stigma, I get it. I wouldn't tell people.
Starting point is 00:53:34 You probably know. Yeah, I'm not gonna go around. Actually, if I was on meth, I'd probably tell everyone I was on meth. Isn't that the one where if you take enough of it, your teeth will fall out. Yeah. You know somebody who's been on Adderall
Starting point is 00:53:43 for a long, long time. Do they look like that, too? No, not always, but some people like you can tell. There's like the teeth. I don't I don't know if I could identify it, but there's always like the term like Adderall teeth. I shouldn't say that because probably, I don't know, 70% of people I know, they're on Adderall their entire lives. I wish I was like everyone's on it.
Starting point is 00:54:00 Never been prescribed that they knew I would abuse it. Do a lot of people take Adderall still? I think so. Vyvanse, things of that nature it. Do a lot of people take Adderall still? I think so. Vyvanse, things of that nature. How did people get through college before Adderall? I don't know. I didn't do Adderall until after college. And when I did it in college, it was recreational.
Starting point is 00:54:15 I didn't do Adderall until like my junior year of college. And then after college, I've taken it like twice since. I will never take it again. So I actually probably need to just retract the meth statement. I'll take it again. I'll take it again. So I actually probably need to just retract them the meth statement I'll take it again. I'll take it again. I'm fine. I loved I would worst hangover I've ever had Yeah but I would do it like cuz I drink a hundred if I was on a bachelor party in Like Cabo San Lucas and we're all heading to the golf course with really bad hangovers and someone's doling that out
Starting point is 00:54:39 Like I'm absolutely taking one. I guess I've never taken it like recreationally I take it when I just need to get shit done. Wow, and I didn't know we were doing NF Confessions today. Yeah, what the fuck are you doing? I'm sorry. Can Randy edit that out, where is he? Yeah, Randy, edit that out. No, I don't know. I've never taken it hung over either.
Starting point is 00:54:55 I don't know how that would affect me. That's when I knew I got old. When I was like 26, I remember someone gave me one at a party and I put it in my pocket so I could cure my hangover with it the next day at work. And it worked. Like it was great.
Starting point is 00:55:07 It was a really good hack. Yeah. I've never taken it and drank at the same time. It's like, should I take it tonight and want to blow my brains out in the morning or should I take it in the morning and be really productive all day? I don't even know if it's like the Adderall that gives you the bad hangover. It's just the fact that it levels you out so much that before you know it, you look down and you've had 16 beers and you're like,
Starting point is 00:55:28 oh, it's like 3.30 AM and I feel fine. I took it at a wedding one time and ended up talking to people for so long that I never even drank. Like I never actually made it to the bar to get another drink. And suddenly I was three hours deep and I was like, oh, I'm sober.
Starting point is 00:55:42 I'm just sober on Adderall right now. You just pitched a bunch of business ideas. Yeah. I started a bunch of companies in the bathroom. Will's got like four LLCs. Will's just starting shell companies. I got a guy. Yeah, that sounds sick. I got a guy who'll set it up for you. Yeah. Let me retract the meth statement, but also the fact that someone's out there making meth candy, I love that. I respect that. You got to keep it away from kids. I want to go to New Zealand. It's going to give all the moms even more reason to worry about around Halloween time. It's like, you gotta, you gotta take your candy and get it X-ray.
Starting point is 00:56:16 There's a caravan of meth candy coming here. And people are like, no one's going to give away their drugs for free. Calm down, ma'am. This guy did though. This guy actually did. That's why it's like a... They're like professionally packaged in this. Like who's professionally packaging meth candy? New Zealand seems like it has strict drug laws. Dude, they're way off on that.
Starting point is 00:56:37 They either have like insanely strict ones or like just none. Yeah. I think all this New Zealand talk, I'm thinking I'm gonna go to that Australian cafe for lunch today. What Australian cafe? The one down the street. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Proud Mary's dude. If you want a $13 cup of coffee, boy do I have a coffee shop for you. It is good coffee. It's good coffee. Speaking of. The menu is confusing. Oh, we got Dave. The coffee menu. We'll have Randy take this out, Dave. Yeah. Dave's going to do a pee-pee.
Starting point is 00:57:11 I don't have any jazz music queued up on here. I don't have any jazz music queued up for this. I was going to queue up to Dave Tinky music. So we just jump into this weekend in fun and by the time it gets to Dave. Yeah, I guess we can. He's just ruining everything. Bro, let's go out this weekend. There's a crazy event happening. I'd like to turn off. Bro, there's a crazy event happening. Let's just go have fun and then go. David Ward, bro, let's go. It's always his. This Weekend in Fun presented by our friends over at Robak.
Starting point is 00:57:41 Robak.com, code WASHED 20 gets you 20% off your order. Dylan, hypothetically speaking, have we received anything impressive from Roeback over the last, oh, I don't know, 24 hours? Yeah, they have a new licensing deal with the University of Texas. So, they sent us some hoodies and some polos that have the burnt orange and the longhorn emblem on there and they are certified dough. They're an absolute delight. The polos have just like little Longhorns on them, but they also have one of just a hand illustrated
Starting point is 00:58:11 Darryl K Royal Stadium. It's just a beautiful situation. We found ourselves in here. Obviously Texas isn't the only school they're doing this for. So be on the lookout. They might be dropping your school soon. If y'all have that skippity Ohio State Riz,
Starting point is 00:58:22 I will say some of my favorite branded team stuff is the Ohio State quarters up. Like it's beautiful. Yeah. It's a beautiful quarters up. Yeah. Washed 20 gets you 20% off. There's nobody out there.
Starting point is 00:58:37 Resson out there? No, when I didn't see him, I was afraid I was gonna get T-Boned by a Mondo, but he's not even in there. Yeah. T-Boned by a Mondo, but he's not even in there. Yeah. T-boned by a Mondo. Dude, the day that the Mondo dude was getting the world record in the Olympics and they were just yelling Mondo on the screen and it was just me and Brett sitting
Starting point is 00:58:55 in there while you guys recorded too much dip, he was so annoyed with how I would laugh every single time. It wasn't even intentional. It's just hard to not laugh when you hear the word Mondo anymore. We need to make something with the word Mondo on it. That's just hard to not laugh when you hear the word Mondo anymore. We need to make a, we need to make something with the word Mondo on it. That's a fun one to explore. I'm just gonna do that. I'm just gonna do that behind the scenes and launch it. Is it just gonna say Mondo or something else too?
Starting point is 00:59:17 I think you might just say it's Mondo time and like the biggest font I can get on a shirt. Do the Mondalorian. Oh yeah, forgot about the Mondalorian. Yeah, that's good, that's good. Hey Dylan. What are you getting into this weekend? Thanks for asking.
Starting point is 00:59:31 Friday, not a big day, got Parks gonna chill and maybe step out, see a movie or go out to dinner. What movies are out right now? He's seen all of them, so. Twisters? Or is he scared of Twisters? His mom took him to see Twisters and he said it was very scary.
Starting point is 00:59:47 Good for him though, facing his fear. Probably go swim there or something Friday. Oh, I'm going to meet the teacher Friday. We're gonna find out who his teacher is. Did you like his last teacher? I can't remember. She was wonderful, yeah. Good teachers.
Starting point is 00:59:59 Shout out to her. Dude, I didn't realize how much drama goes on in elementary schools and stuff when it comes to like teachers and classes and stuff like that. Is there a lot of drama? I don't know. Fritz was put in a class without like any of his friends
Starting point is 01:00:12 and suddenly like there was all this discussion around like every mom being like, well wait, I'm not happy either. Okay. And then suddenly it was like, oh God. There was some of that last year. I remember we found out who the teacher is today. We meet him or her on Friday. What if his teacher's rod building? Oh no. Oh no.
Starting point is 01:00:30 Yeah, I don't know. He's going to not learn anything and just go on white water rafting trips the entire time. He's just chilling on the desk throwing paper airplanes. Saturday little family time. Going to either go to Meanwhile and let the kids run around and play. Good move. While we drink a frosty boy or two.
Starting point is 01:00:48 It's gotta be early though, it's gonna be hot. They have a nitro cold brew on tap there? Yes, you might see my kids there Saturday morning. Yeah. Yeah, there's a standing crew that goes. All right, that'd be great. You guys just walk around, you just stand there? Do me a favor, don't talk to my wife.
Starting point is 01:01:02 Why do you just stand there with your crew dog? It's a bread situation, we're just stand up. Is this like Micah's standing tea time? Is Dylan gonna show up and they're not gonna know what he's talking about? Big, big day on Sunday. Dave and I are going to Greenville, South Carolina. Dude, you crushed that.
Starting point is 01:01:22 We're going to Greenville, South Carolina. Greenville, South Carolina. Maybe in a prompt to one. Yeah, Greenville, South Carolina. Dude, you crushed that. We're going to Greenville, South Carolina. Greenville, South Carolina. Maybe in a prompt to one. Yeah, Greenville meet up when? Just us and three people. We are going to the BMW, what do you call it? The driving experience. Speed manufacturing.
Starting point is 01:01:38 I'm gonna call it the Speed Lab. Their headquarters in the United States. The BMW headquarters are gonna get a tour of the factory. We're gonna do hot laps and we're gonna do some performance driving, I believe. The BMW headquarters are gonna need to get a tour of the factory, we're gonna do hot laps, then we're gonna do some performance driving, I believe. Something really cool like that. I'm really excited for it. They're having us out there.
Starting point is 01:01:52 So thanks to BMW for that. It's gonna be a lot of fun. We're there for two nights, come back Tuesday. I bet Dave beats you on the hot laps. There's not a chance. Time-wise. I've seen Dave drive. I'd say we should make a bet,
Starting point is 01:02:04 but I don't know if that's gonna happen. We can make a bet. Yo, yeah, cause you're gonna miss. There's no way Dave's gonna drive faster than me. It's not really fair. Cause if it's like a red light, green light situation, like Dylan's at a little bit of a disadvantage. Right.
Starting point is 01:02:17 I don't think that's gonna be that kind of situation. I think it's gonna be me smoking your ass on the track. Okay, buddy, we'll see. You don't even drift, so. You don't drift? Nope, he doesn't. We don't even drift. So you don't drift. Nope, he doesn't. This dude doesn't drift. He came and drove stick.
Starting point is 01:02:29 Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'll show you. All right, fucker. Anyway, I'm so glad I'm going to drive to it. Brett is also going to be with us. The bullet Mondo himself. I bet bullets sneaky fast on the track. Yeah, there's no way.
Starting point is 01:02:45 Anyway, that concludes my weekend. Okay. Dave. Oh, Dave's got the big one. Yeah. Uh I'm actually leaving town tomorrow. Um where are you going Dave? Hey Dave. Yeah. Where are you going? Um I'll be flying in to Chicago tomorrow. Chicago meetup. I'll be renting my car. I would love to do Chicago. I wish I had another day in Chicago. I would love to go eat. Leave today. More meals. That's just, it does. The family thing really. Here, I'll vote to upgrade you to first class on a flight today out. Yeah. Okay. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:03:24 Is Dylan, is Dylan, is Dylan friend enough to do that for you? I can't believe I didn't get that burger that you got. I want to try it so bad. I should have got that. It was weird. I didn't know how to push you guys. I didn't want to push everyone too much to go somewhere. And you know. Well, it didn't, it just didn't work.
Starting point is 01:03:37 He's like, hey, we've got a reservation for X amount. And I was like, well, we got like 10 people. Why we didn't have 10 people? We didn't have a reservation. We just walked up. Yeah, we should. We just walked up and sat at the bar. We were in the middle of the boardwalk. Whatever. We were doing hot boy walks with Dib and Dots. I hadn't had Dib and Dots in a long time. So good. I've never had them before. I can't wait for my
Starting point is 01:03:55 first time. On the boardwalk. That's insane. Yeah. They're so good. Then that Segway tour guy just murked us. Even though Randy got mad when we said that. Does it taste like, is it little scoops of ice cream in your mouth all individually? It's a texture point. Yeah, but like what's the texture? Little tiny, it's like little pellets of ice cream in your mouth. But when they start to melt is the prime eating time.
Starting point is 01:04:22 You don't want it fully melted, but you want like the bottom. So with each scoop, you get a mixture juxtaposition. Exactly. Okay. It's a texture play. Can you buy this other places or do you have to go to a dip and dots? I think you can go, I think they sell them at HEB. Probably. Oh really?
Starting point is 01:04:37 I think so. Oh, okay. I'll remedy this then. I thought you had, I was gonna say, I've never seen a dip and dots on the street. If you can find mint chocolate chip, get that. I kind of think mint chocolate chip is a little overrated in terms of people's like favorite flavors. I agree with that.
Starting point is 01:04:50 Okay. The Dippin' Dots mint chocolate chip is elite. Whenever I hear someone say that mint chocolate chip is their favorite ice cream flavor, I just kind of automatically like think like, okay, you're not trying very hard. I agree. You're not going that deep in the flavors.
Starting point is 01:05:04 No dude, it's elite. So I not going that deep in the flavors. No, dude, it's a leap. So I'm going to find Chicago. What are you doing in Chicago? Well, not much. Renting a car with some buddies and we're going to drive to Wisconsin, Lake Como, Geneva area, and we're going to do our fantasy draft weekend. We're playing golf and we're going to be there until Sunday morning. And then we'll be taking that car we're going to be there until Sunday morning. And then we'll be taking that car and I'll be going back to the airport. And then I'll be getting on a plane
Starting point is 01:05:29 and going to Greenville, Alabama. Greenville, South Carolina. Greenville, South Carolina. Greenville, South Carolina. Yeah, that one does a, that's a recent one. Otherwise, here's the deal. I typically don't like to have, wouldn't schedule it this way. But this was a the BMW thing was too too good to pass on. And like we love those guys.
Starting point is 01:05:52 And I'm very, very excited to just make Dylan look like a dumb ass Dylan's gonna look like a bitch on that track. I'm gonna fuck it. Dylan's gonna be behind me. I'm gonna throw up a banana peel and spin out on my head. I'm with that. Okay, I can't wait. I'm going to hit him with that. It's a. OK, I can't wait. I'm going to do the thing where the lighting bullet and you shrink and I run your ass over. He's already tiny. Oh, like KJ coming through.
Starting point is 01:06:15 Mm hmm. Anyway, that's what I'm going to do to Dylan on the track from there. Yeah, we're going to going to do that. Coming back Tuesday evening. It's going to be a blast. It's going to be a lot. I'm honestly not dreading the travel. I'm only dreading the packing. It's the two. It's the juxto Dylan. Sure. Of the golf trip and then straight into the work related fun trip. I'm jealous of your Wisconsin. Oh dude. It's not going to be annoying for you to have to bring your golf
Starting point is 01:06:37 bag to South Carolina. I know. I was trying to think of like a ship stick situation to ship them home would be. You should do that. I know. I don't. think if like a ship stick situation to ship them home would be. You should do that. I know, I don't. Are y'all part of Stick Nation by the way? What's that? Help me out here. I follow an Instagram account now that's just people finding sticks
Starting point is 01:06:54 and like showing how dope their stick is that they found and they're called Stick Nation. My son would love it. Dude, the sticks that these people are finding, my two favorite accounts going right now are that account, Stick Nation, my two favorite accounts going right now are that account, Stick Nation, and then also I have a guy who I've started following
Starting point is 01:07:09 recently who skips stones. Oh, I'm familiar with his game. Yeah. He put up a 50 spot the other day and it was just like, yeah, dude, I get it. That's pretty crazy. 50 skips. I'll send you the next one that comes across my timeline,
Starting point is 01:07:25 dude. It's really impressive stuff. I fancy myself to be a pretty good rock skipper and this guy's elite. So yeah, it's gonna be golf and then driving. The two things I love more than anything. Will. Wild weekend for your boy.
Starting point is 01:07:43 Actually, I'm very excited. I'm going to a restaurant on Friday night that I haven't been to in a long, long time. Kanji. I think Dave's recent trip to Kanji might've inspired this, but I was notified by my wife that a reservation has been made. I'm gonna eat jerk chicken to my heart's desire.
Starting point is 01:08:01 I'll be drinking exactly two red stripes after I have one cocktail to set the scene. I'm excited though. It's been a minute since I've had some good jerk chicken. Saturday morning, you guys know what it is, first weekend of EPL, which is why Dave's going to go draft his fantasy Premier League team in Chicago this weekend. Yeah, I'm going to get him bape. Get him bape, dude. Get him bape. Yeah, I'm excited. inbope. Get inbope, dude, get inbope. Yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited to sit on the couch and do absolutely nothing for the morning and just watch some footy for the first time in a while, some English footy.
Starting point is 01:08:33 After that, I've been talking some booty chatter about possibly doing some at-home fajitas on Saturday. It's been a minute. I would just like to get on the grill, you know? Fajitas is a great move on the grill and so I think it's gonna happen. Who's gonna be in attendance for that? I'm not really sure. It's kind of in its infancy right now. Okay. You guys have any takes on what I should, kind of fajitas I should do? I'm thinking about throwing some shrimp on the Bobby. Do it.
Starting point is 01:09:00 That sounds excellent. Think about doing steak and shrimp. What's stopping you? Don't do chicken and shrimp. They're just the grocery run that I'm gonna have to do at some point. I don't know, chicken, I'm not very good at grilling chicken. It's never juicy enough for me. Yeah, people, it's easy to overcook
Starting point is 01:09:17 because you're really worried about the salmonella. Sure. I've never been good at cooking chicken. It's very easy to cook. Rarely rarely do I take a chicken breast off something and think I crushed that. Yeah. It's usually a little tough and then what breaking news Netflix has renewed the gentleman for season two. Just wow. Good. Did you watch it? You watched it. No, I haven't. It's good. I'll test it out. I apologize. I'll dabble. Sunday, I'm doing something that's long overdue. On Sunday, I will be collecting a bunch of my old records
Starting point is 01:09:51 and I'll be bringing them to Waterloo Records in Austin, Texas and selling them to Waterloo Records. I have some records that I've purchased. They might've been, you know, maybe some knee jerk purchases here. And I'm gonna get rid of some to make some more room. Maybe get a little- You gotta get to Frankie Valley.
Starting point is 01:10:09 Gotta hit that Frankie Valley before he passes. You gotta listen to a lot of Frankie Valley before this man dies. I mean, you'll still be able to listen like after. No. Music doesn't die with them. Post-humously. When Cormac McCarthy died, yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:27 My buddy had told me for years leading up to Cormac McCarthy's death. And he was like, read some Cormac McCarthy before he dies. Just read it while he's still alive and just know that you're reading like the greatest writer on earth while they're still alive. Just read it now.
Starting point is 01:10:40 Then he died, texted my buddy and he just texted me back and goes, you didn't read one page, did you? I'm like, no. I feel like you would not like it. I've been told that his quote unquote dense pros. Maybe jump right in with blood meridian. Yeah, I was going to say, should I raw dog blood meridian?
Starting point is 01:10:58 All the pretty horses. If you want to get really into his stuff, his archives and papers are at the Alkec at San Marcos, the Texas State Library. Really? That's cool. It's a good library. That's cool. How about that? I don't know. I need a book to read on this vacation. Don't do Blood Meridian. No, I'm not going to. No, I'm not going to hit that vacation Cormac. That seems a little heavy. That seems like a winter drinking whiskey in the dark move. Yeah, I think that plays.
Starting point is 01:11:36 Okay. Dylan's Googling, who is Cormac McCarthy? I Googled blood meridians, I'm not familiar. Is there a movie, does he have any movies? Like, have they- No Country? I think they've optioned certain things that he's written, like they're ready to get made, but I don't think they've actually made any movies.
Starting point is 01:11:55 Or I truly don't know. Oh, they definitely, I don't know. Or what was I thinking? No Country for Old Men? Yeah. Did he do that? Is that what I just- I'm just showing how unread I am. We need to get out of here before we sound even more dumb. What was I thinking? No Country for Old Men? Yeah. Did he do that? Is that what I just... I'm just showing how unread I am.
Starting point is 01:12:07 We need to get out of here before we sound even more dumb. We can't have these dumb folks think we're smart. No, we're right. We're right, we're smart boys. Bye. Smart boys. I'm smart. I like it the way it is. Thanks for watching guys!
