It's Brett Merriman, the big game. Yeah, I think probably a 9.45 departure from the restaurant we were at. So not a prototypical late night, but for a feller like me who went home at like 7? You did. You were out like all night, basically. Basically. You left your glasses at the table too dave i was wondering if you're okay my new sponsor alert yeah shout out shady rays that's right i'm really i'm

Fine. We had a very good dinner last night. Chats to boy Blaine and our boy Ryan took us out. We went to May Day on South Congress. SoCo.

It was kind of, you know the give the waiter his own uh his own creation dave and we got after it very good mac and cheese very good crab legs truffle in that mac and cheese are we still doing that uh i'm not sure it was just very cheesy good a good assortment of cheeses in there yeah what was your fave uh the pork chop really good you guys had to split the pork chop i bet you wanted it all for yourself huh no they did a good job of slicing it up so you

could kind of just take the pieces you need okay didn't try much of the uh of the i believe it was a ribeye looked pretty good though didn't have it damn you guys kind of went off yeah there was there was a degree of going off there a little bit bit sad I went home. Well, maybe next time you can stay out with us. Maybe next time. Hey, speaking of next time, let's introduce our best friend, Dylan Chivary. Dylan's a mainstay here on the pod. He's always here. He's always ready to rock.

Yeah. He's always looking strong, feeling strong, rocking a too-much-dip hat. Hey, Dylan, man, welcome to the show. I am a very normal, regular host of this show, despite being intro'd after our guest, which is always fun for me. People want to know who's replacing Dave, who's replacing Will. I don't think anyone really knew. You know, it doesn't matter. Anyway, maybe you can make up for it today,

as it is National Margarita Day. Make up for not going out last night with the boys uh so for all for all who celebrate yes happy national margarita day do you guys meet any uh movers and shakers last night i don't want to tell any tales out of school but yeah we we kind of did honestly yeah we did yeah who'd you rub elbows with um so do you know who Mark Cuban is yeah he wasn't there but there was a guy there who might know Mark Cuban what about Alex Jones no Jones he wasn't there he didn't make it to the accounting firm happy hour I'm just going to list off some Austin people you say yes or no McConaughey didn't see him there was somebody there very similar sandra bullock

i didn't see sandra she might have been in the other room but uh didn't do she wasn't on the patio she wasn't on the patio reagan's uh he's in montana uh taylor yeah he's in montana kitch i call him kitch tk glenn powell that's the last one no that's it no we didn't see any of those people this is more of a business community type deal yeah it was something like that there was there like maybe their uh financial representatives might have been there that's a great guess henrik was there though it is a sport business shout out henrik big shots stenson It is a sport business. Shout out Henrik. Big shout out to Henrik. Stenson? Nope. Not him. Different person. Similarly Swedish though. Yeah. Similarly Swedish. It's our new pod. Check us out. Whatever podcasts are downloadable. Yeah. We missed you

last night. We missed you and Will, but it's for the best. I think, I think had y'all been there or one of y'all might've escalated. I did have two margaritas. A lot of people don't know that Matt's El Rancho is available to be rented out for private parties on Tuesday when they're closed. It was. I got to say, first class. Did not know that. Open bar. Me neither.

We've been going there how long? No clue. Had no idea. They had trays of queso, tacos. They had what appeared to be flautas or taquitos. Binders full of women. Some nachos. Nachos.

Yeah, poncho style, Dylan. What did Dave do when they brought the chips and salsa out? Don't. Well, he mentioned, and I quote Dave, tell me if I'm wrong here, damn, this salsa is spicy, end quote. The thing about Matt's is you're always going to get spicy salsa, but they have another gear that sometimes you'll go and you'll get like a batch that's like borderline too spicy i watched dave go to work on some chips the other day we were at matt's his salsa to chip ratio is um unlike maybe anyone i've ever seen can you okay? First of all, the salsa and mats, if you've never had it, it's hot.

It's pretty hot. I wasn't doing that. I didn't mean to do a Brooks thing there. You did. I was. It's really spicy. Dave will just like, he covers the whole chip and it's like, it's piled up. Like it's honestly, it's way too much salsa.

Dave goes for the, he goes for the Northern Shovel method. And he wonders why he's got like tum-tum issues. He's just, it's way too much salt. Dave goes for the Northern shovel method. And he wonders why he's got like tum-tum issues. He's just shoveling this very spicy substance down his gullet. You do the thing that I really hate. And it's just kind of, you get the chip and you do a quick dip and you don't scoop and you just get it to where it coached the outside of the chip. You just get it wet? A vertical.

And then you- Are you saying me? No, Dylan. Oh, I don't do that. Yeah, you do. No, I don't scoop and you just get it to where it coached the outside of the chip you just get it wet a vertical and then you are you saying me no dylan oh i don't do that you do no i don't you don't it's like it's like you're scared of the salsa i do that sometimes because i am scared of the salsa famously i chugged it you're from saratoga spring i like justin i don't i don't i'm not trying to impress anybody when i'm out there yeah that's where you and i differ to get a little sauce but if you just dip vertically and pull it out just to get it wet, that's a total waste of a chip. Yeah, what are you even doing at that point? It's true.

You're just an idiot. Yeah. I do like when the queso gets a little bit, just not super hot, and you have a little bit more substance to it. More structure, if you will, Dave. Dave likes when it runs down your chin. Yeah, it's primal. Stuck in the beard kind of thing. Yeah.

on your chin. Yeah, it's primal. Stuck in the beard kind of thing. Yeah. I gotta say, speaking of margaritas real quick, I need to shout out the TGI Fridays at the Atlanta Airport, Terminal B. One of my top three margaritas I've had in the last year. There's no way that's true.

I promise. There's simply no way. Top three margarita of the last year. The TGI Fridays in the atlanta airport terminal b brett there's multiple tgi you're losing you're losing street cred it was margarita cred phenomenal dude this is the tostitos cake of margaritas that's what's happening here it was really good it was really really good there's no way they use actual lime juice well it's a mix i don't know i didn't watch them make it.

I'm not going to accuse them of using limes or not using limes, but I just have to shout it out. Okay. Whoever is going through that airport. Which is famous. Terminal B specifically. The most trafficked airport on the planet. So somebody listening might go through the airport is what I'm saying. Please go to this TGI Fridays.

Terminal B. Terminal B. Are there more? Yes, there are multiple okay terminal b and please order one and i want like a review or at least a picture or something i gotta see what this thing looks like because this sounds totally bogus just gotta say give it a try and it's also it's the base level one it's the uh the friday mark not the top shelf mark okay their base model no the the base level trim dave i don't know if we're doing that you think you think they have like fresh limes back there they're squeezing dave no it's i don't think so it's probably uh jose cuervo it's like yeah it's it's it's a it's a friday You probably got about 42 grams of suge.

Fresh limes don't make their way into the airport. You know? They gotta. No. If brisket makes its way in. Yeah. What do you think they do at Earl Campbell's? They don't smoke brisket on site.

You know what I mean? I mean, I thought they had just like an offset smoker that like the. Right. The smokestack. Yeah. You ever smell- All the way up through the top of the airport. You ever smell a burning smoker when you're walking into the airport because you don't?

I love that smell right before I board. I love to smell it. Something has a problem. Yeah. Were you the guy that had the picture of himself with the barbecue on the plane, Dave? The ribs? Yeah. No, that wasn't you.

Not me. Couldn't be me. We did? The ribs? Yeah. No. That wasn't you. Not me. Couldn't be me. We did talk about it Monday, though. Okay. I haven't listened to that episode. That's okay. You're busy. You're busy doing memes.

Hey. I can't. I'm going to be thinking about what he said about that margarita all episode long. I'm trying to not let it bother me and ruin my show. Got big shoes to fill sitting in the- My show's been derailed. In the host chair over here with the board, but but yeah i don't know if we could do derail jokes hey uh our patreon schedule how about that yesterday we dropped a banger i would say it was

gas exactly five minutes what's that exactly i'll tell you what it is. Or no, Dylan, you tell them what it is. It is a show, an ad-free show, I might add. Behind a paywall. Where we have a long list of topics that are submitted by you guys. And we draw a little ball out of a little bingo thingy. We don't know what it's called. We could look it up, but we just don't. These balls have numbers on them. The number, we look it up. Say you get number 24. Shout out Kobe Bryant. You go to number 24 on the list, and that topic on that list is number 24. You talk about it for exactly five minutes. We keep running that back for about an hour and ten minutes,

and it's a lot of fun. We go exactly five minutes, not a second shorter or a second longer. We dropped our ideal childhoodurday morning lineup of cartoons yeah do you want a brand putting you on the spot here if you want to throw one together right now sure it would have gone doug would have been part of that list that made our list some rocket power as well um potentially some jimmy neutron in that mix and then then there's a switch to sports center at some point this guy likes sports guys check him out well back in the day when you just

run back to the sports center episodes like and they were all the same hour back to back to back because he didn't have highlights he didn't have twitter day you're a big olbermann guy right that was your fate yeah no i called him a dinosaur on twitter one time did he block you nope didn't block me that's surprising he had me blocked for a long time really yeah i don't really i don't know why interesting yeah i do have to ask because you're a cuck that's i heard there was there was there some sort of as somebody who hasn't maybe this will be a little preview for the patreon was there a wardrobe question where i was mentioned either i don't know what you're talking about i don't know what you're talking about i just i thought i heard through the glass

that's not i don't want to that's not something we would do i normally don't speak about the paywall um in in depth um outside of the paywall but i will say that someone did ask if we could swap wardrobes with any member and sizes included like we couldn't we couldn't match them up to our size who would you choose? I had to choose you by default is what I said. Cause we are the same. We're the same size relative to speaking. We think we wear the same size clothing overall.

I'll take that as a Dylan likes my dress. No, by default means I couldn't choose anyone else. I feel like I dress fine. Yeah, sure. No, you're doing great. I do for sure. I like that shirt you're wearing. Thank you.

Dude for sure though. Shouts to Diamond Creek Ranch. Hey, we also watch Love Island around here, around these parts. We do a Love Island show that drops Friday. It's called The Love Island Boys. The Love Island Boys. I promise that's not a big part of it. That is something that happens from time to time, but it's not the entire thing. We have good chat on the topic last night so dylan and i are recording tomorrow so we won't get friday's

episode in but so much has gone down in the last few days that it's going to be a banger last night was insane it will include super horny we'll include wednesdays and thursdays episode correct hulu schedule yes That's on the optimized backer tier of Patreon. Also, there's quite literally no better time to take advantage of our 14-day free trial on Patreon. We're doing more

content than we've ever done, honestly. And it's gas. It's gas. I feel like at the end of the week, I'm spent from a content perspective. I've got nothing. I go into my family and they want me to be funny and do biz. I can't. I got nothing.

I left it all out during the week. Sorry. Sorry, family. You're just going to have to deal with boring dad. Right. I might pick up this show for the sole purpose that it is hijacked or group touched with intern Klein. It has.

I feel for you. I was that guy. I was out with you until this year until i started watching it i'm happy i did dave likes it i really like it you know what i don't like it is an incredibly intelligent highly elusive super pig that's threatening humanity okay you don't we're gonna tick a lot of boxes in this episode there's gonna be a lot of things gonna be like oh that's kind of a staple of boxes in this episode. There's going to be a lot of things you're going to be like, oh, that's kind of a staple of the show.

So we're just going to kick off with super pigs. Wild pigs. Kind of a thing we talk about around here. Wild pig. Northern states on alert for invasion of crossbred pig that threatens flora and fauna and is difficult to stop. You want to explain what flora and fauna is? I don't feel like

mansplaining it to the people listening i obviously know brett why don't you go and take that for us well flora is the local vegetation of an area and fauna is the local wildlife obviously is animals yeah obviously that's what that means you explain that in a non-condescending manner and i appreciate that sure yeah we didn't want y'all to go look it up because you might not have known but we all knew the emergence of the so-called super pig a result of cross-breeding domestic pigs with wild boars only adds to the problem the u.s faces from the swine invasion we're talking disease we're talking destruction of environments we're talking uh like we just said floraora and fauna, right? Yeah. Now, hear me out.

As a company that does possess somebody who has inoculated themselves with a previous case of swine flu, should we send Will to the front lines here? Will famously had swine flu. To battle this. Did he get the swine jab? Invasive species. Is there a jab for the swine flu? Hey. I bet you have to take one of their tufts.

species is there a jab for the swine flu hey you have to take one of their tufts this super pig which is giant in size and incredibly intelligent and highly elusive is capable of surviving cold climates by tunneling under snow jay kind of wow you ever tunneled under snow i can't say that i have never made a snow fort that's sad have you done plenty you do something else with snow don't you ski i have dabbled in the skiing arts yes i'm talking more like that oh dylan's not standing for any of those jokes today he's gonna he's he's getting out it's a preemptive assault he saw where it was going last time dave skied was almost landed uh landed on by a man back flipping yeah okay again you guys shouldn't have brought me to the terrain park when i've been

skiing all of an hour and a half but that's fine the government estimates the country's approximately six million wild or feral pigs cause 1.5 billion dollars of damage every year you guys ever shot pigs hunted pigs I told you about the time I shot a pig remember I don't it's just like a sad story that you don't want to tell this sorta I've told it before oh so I my first time hog hunting I shot a hog from about 50 to 60 yards away but I didn't shoot it where you're supposed to shoot it which is in the head got shot I shot him kind of through the the backside kind of in the ass area and it didn't

drop it didn't kill him immediately obviously but it did take him down and he just started squealing very loudly yeah and do it and just like spinning in the dirt and I felt really bad about what I had done i wanted to take him out i had to go up there with a uh i had a 40 caliber on me hand pistol and i had to just put one in his head that way it was it was unpleasant i didn't love it you learned a lot about yourself though um and you know i don't i don't like i don't like killing big animals man it's just not it's not It's just not my bag. I got to say, I'd have no problem killing a super pig.

Well, they're super pigs. The problem is pigs are very smart, and the super pig is extremely intelligent. Super piggy. So you kind of feel bad because domestic pigs are very, very, very intelligent. But anybody you know that has a problem with pigs just will tell you that they are the worst they are that they will just fuck shit up imagine 30 to 50 of them just prancing through your backyard david i can't i have a very like my backyard's a very average size so if i look back then there's 30 to 50 something's gone really wrong i've seen hogs on our ranch property

exactly one time they're there all the time because we see where they go under the fence there's a little trail they're always there we catch them on the game cams but i've actually seen with my own eyes once and there were about 30 to 50 of them how big was your hog the one that you shot uh it's been a while a pretty pretty medium-sized hog i would say not massive but definitely a mature hog. Like not a hog size you want to be embarrassed about? No, it was a good-sized hog. Okay.

I was trying to show everybody my hog. Brett. Jesus, dude. Brett, what's your experience with hogs being from Saratoga Springs? There's not any that I know of anyway in a wild boar or hog population in saratoga springs new york uh there is an abundance of white-tailed deer though and they're very dangerous but mostly because people run into them with their cars a lot so they cause problems there and there's a they're they're overpopulated in the area dave mostly because the region has been eradicated of natural predators so wolves and cooters it's true unless you're on caroline street because of the people

caroline street huh that's our bar district yeah one of one day one day we'll make it up there one day when we do the springs versus springs harbor versus saratoga the fact that we've never been to either of those places mainly mainly harbor because you know will's from harbor we've known will longer than we've never been to either of those places, mainly Harbor because Will's from Harbor. We've known Will longer than we've known you. It kind of upsets me. We've got to get up there at some point. They caught one of these fuckers.

It was 661 pounds. That's too big. So, like, eradicating that. Like, if there's a reason for assault weapons, it's super hogs, at least in this country yeah i mean what are you supposed to do if you run into like 30 or 50 of these things and like what if if even if just one of them's north of 600 pounds that's not a good deal no you're not going to do well with that why why are people attempting to crossbreed them in the first place why would you crossbreed-

I don't think it's intentional. And wild boar? I don't think it's intentional. You're saying a boar got into the nest? That is exactly what I'm saying. We do a hog story probably once every three months. And every time we throw around the idea of helicopter uh hunt helicopter hunt from a helicopter shooting pigs and we never do it and i don't know if i want to do it there might have been a time in my life where i would have been in it's not really i don't think i'm there right now i'm very wary of

helicopters in general and i just don't know if i want to go um i don't know if i need to um exterminate pigs via the air your boy plans on never getting in a helicopter as long as he lives i don't want to really they yeah you're out on shoppers i don't i don't trust you i don't trust helicopters man what about uh electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles evtals we don't those don't exist oh dave every time every time we talk about something somewhat in the aviation space brett says something that will get people upset they don't exist so i'm gonna i'm gonna kind of allow to do this they're coming dylan you want to explain to the folks at home what you're talking about electric vertical takeoff and landing

vehicles via propeller uh oh yeah okay there's there's plenty of companies vying for the initial market share one of which i've invested in it's a okay wait is this your sergio baca nft no you're talking about a similar though a drone for the yeah a drone that people can fit on more or less okay there's a company in austin that's actually headquartered uh right by the bridge 360 bridge that i'm invested what you do with your spare time it's mostly uh like when it's eight o'clock randy says like i don't watch tv and entertainment it's i don't is because i'm watching youtube videos or googling things what's your portfolio look like well i have a surge of pocket nft that is true we know about that i have also not not as talked about a uh i believe it's like devin booker pass nft i'm sure you got some delta shares still yep i have some delta delta shares shouts to them is there a big market for a pass no i think my my nft that i bought for like 49 is now if it's worth 49 cents i'd be shocked

yeah that market really tanked it yeah especially in the nft space yeah the nft space has not gone well but uh and then i own some of this uh this electric vehicle company. Okay. Yeah. Some shares of that, along with a couple different stocks and whatnot. Brett's just like quietly putting together just a stellar portfolio that would be rivaled by- I own, oh, four and a half acres in West Texas. I forgot about that. That was, I still have that. What? Yeah.

Then you might actually have to eradicate some hogs. Yeah, I've never seen the property except on pictures on zillow is this all this is true yeah i'm not lying i swear to god yeah when did this happen uh like 2020 what part of west texas between picos a little outside of picos picos near monahans uh do you have the mineral rights no i have the air rights though okay solar sure yeah okay that's the idea anyway you got to get those mineral rights if you're going out well there's not all the the whole reason it was so cheap is because it's pretty depleted i guess from an oil standpoint it's been over fracked let's go out there over harvest go out there and go ranching man well it's it's it's really not close to a a road or an

airport you're i i remember this like you're not making this no i i am very much not making this up okay what are you gonna do with it i want to put a solar panel farm on it what what is a four acre solar panel panel farm do like what can that power uh give or take a megawatt four to five acres gets you about a megawatt in that part of the country okay and that gets you you know it costs a little bit to build but right you uh you become more and more interesting every time we have you on thank you what led you down this path i'm so i'm so intrigued by which path the buying property in west texas uh a zillow search and then the the dirt cheapness of the land and the idea that one day i'll put some solar panel farm stuff on it and sell the electricity back to the grid i feel like you got to go see your

property yeah that's that's a quite the drive for a property that has literally nothing on it yeah you're probably looking at about seven hours each way right yeah yeah yeah and i have to tell you that is some of the shittiest land you could ever drive through oh yeah but the sun hits or by but the sun hits it and the sun hits it hard dave okay sun hits it dave solar should we open a wash media brick and mortar on it and it could be be like, what's the place with like a Gucci store in the middle of like nowhere that people visit? Oh, Marfa. Marfa, yeah.

Is it a Gucci store? It's something like that. It's not Gucci. It's Prada. Prada. That's right. That's right. Should we do that, but it's wash media?

So we've got, you could get like a shirt like this has a joke about queso on it. Should we sell legalized cocaine tanks? We should. Honestly, one of the better things we've sold, you could get like a shirt like this has a joke about queso on it. Should we sell legalized cocaine tanks? We should. Honestly, one of the better things we've sold in our time. But only at that place? You have to go there. You have to drive through hell to get it. Yeah.

But it's going to be worth it. It's literally hell on earth. Because Randy's going to be working behind the counter. He'll be clocking in every day. Shout out to all our roughnecks working out there in West Texas. Major. I stand with you. Do you know the coordinates?

I do. I got to look them up. I got to go get the sheet. Did you do it personally, or did you set up an LLC? Oh, personally. I wrote a check. Yeah. Okay. This took a turn. well if you're if you're looking for four and a half acres near picos i probably can't fund a solar pretty sure it's picos man it's always been oh that's

fine if you're gonna have property there you gotta leave i know the name do you think you'll fit in when you go there and meet some of the locals i wouldn't i wouldn't say so you're gonna get some square toetoed boots? Is that what they wear out there? Oh, yeah. I might have to – before I go see my property. Knowing Brett's going to show up out there wearing a golf polo, some nylon pants, and some Adidas tennis shoes, which is fine. Like what I wore to the happy hour last night with a number of accounting firm folks?

I'm sorry for hijacking this episode to the no this is good this is this is much more interesting than super pigs you got anything else on it you want to tell us about no there's really not a whole lot i can do i don't even know if it has like a water line to it so i don't even know if we could put a a store on it you gotta get those mineral rights back it's probably very expensive honestly i hate to shoot this dream down so fast but we're probably not going to put a store out there oh that's dave's dream i didn't that's a lot we're probably not gonna but it's just like just as a bit like we don't actually we're not gonna have people working out there are we gonna

stock the shelves with actual merchandise for a photo shoot but we're not gonna leave it out there we're gonna bring it back we just want people to know that like that's a thing that we're not going to leave it out there. We're going to bring it back. We just want people to know that like, that's a thing that we're doing. You could probably stage that in here. We had really had to just saying, and I guess we could go out and put like a, one of those little shed, like the, the portable sheds on it. A tough shed.

Yeah. You're suggesting a tough shed, right? We can put a tough shed on it. Maybe, maybe bring a dirt bike out there and then set up a storefront. I just don't. I just don't know if any of this is truly that plausible.

I'm going to further put this episode on a T for Brett, and I'm going to bring to the table this story. Two Air Force vets have testified to Pentagon's UFO office about seeing mysterious objects turn off 10 nuclear warheads and blast test missiles out of the sky at u.s bases yeah what do you got to say about that how do you turn off a nuclear warhead that's the thing that's the thing that's what's so confusing about it was it alien well i don't know it could be i just don't get like if you're gonna see aliens in the

60s while they're testing nuclear warheads why aren't they chilling uh i don't get, like, if you're going to see aliens in the 60s while they're testing nuclear warheads, why aren't they chilling, I don't know, right now, seeing more of them? I was going to say the best way to turn something off is just to show up wearing Brett's wardrobe. I mean, that's just, that's tough. Randy really liked that one. Randy almost fell out of his chair on that one. Damn, dude. That wasn't fair. I think you dress fine just fine no you do dress

i like that i do like that t-shirt honestly you legitimately dress better than me i'm just i'm just busting your chops yesterday was tough yesterday i was not expecting you to have yeah you had a look when you when i reminded you that we were going to that and you're like i need to go home and change and you didn't well i i didn't i would have had to go home and then come back to matt's el rancho and just i looked like a fucking blueberry i was wearing blue on blue with a blue hat you you did do that no one's doing that yeah you don't see that i definitely that people were talking about me there and not all of it positive what were they saying there's like who's that guy like he looks like somebody like he looks like he might know mark cuban and i don't never met him do you tell me you're a podcaster i i told henrik that i said dave's a lawyer and podcaster you don't see you

don't meet many of those no there strangely are a lot actually i guess play your podcast travis he still he used to podcast your favorite podcaster it's's not. Really? He's a lawyer turned podcaster? Yes. Interesting. He's also a total NARP. What's that? I'm new here. I don't know what that means.

Non-athletic regular person. Okay. You see him at that golf tournament? Yeah, it wasn't great. His posture, his ass. It's not good. Just like a bag of milk. Looked like the first day of standing school.

Yeah. Still probably the funniest thing you've done in the last 10 years. I don't know about that. I think I've done some stuff. First day of standing school is funny. Yeah. Why can't Harbaugh stand? You're there.

You're like, okay, I'm here to learn how to stand, but you don't know how to do it quite yet. Former officer Robert Salas told of his encounter with an orange flying disc that turned off 10 warheads at Malmstrom Air force base probably malmstrom in montana this is in 1967 so this didn't happen recently but we've talked about it before we do a a conspiracy-ish podcast behind the paywall called touching based and uh alien this comes up from time to time and we knew about this we knew after world war ii that this was a thing that happened. I don't know if we've had on the record testimony from people who were eyewitnesses.

This is the first I've heard about it using lasers to shoot down a test ballistic. Laser beams? Intercontinental ballistic missile. Yes, laser beams, Dylan. You familiar? Protons and shit. Proton packs. Electrons probably as well well all the trons

john carter you're doing too much with the word tron well why don't you just why don't you help me out i'm sitting here i got i'm getting double teamed i'm trying to pass it to you i thought about doing an awesome powers play there but i decided to back off of it but you just kept you just kept drilling the rock i don't want to do you decided to back off it like since 2023 i was open for one second then i and then you started drilling around. It wasn't going to be a good shot. I got covered up. So you didn't give me the rock back.

Brett, as an expert in the aviation field. Right. Thoughts? No denying it. I have, you know, like, no offense to our senior citizens out there. Wow. I feel like stories are sort of embellished over time. The fish gets bigger by the year, Dave,

and Dylan's high school baseball stats get a little better by the year. Facts. And sometimes a light that you saw over in the sky becomes a UFO by your mid-80s. So I'm not going to say I don't believe it because I think we are in the midst of being, I don't know, maybe visited by some unidentified aerial phenomenon. But I'm not going to say it's UFOs. I'm going to middleman this one.

Well, UFOs just mean that they're unidentified sure flying objects you know and aren't they they're calling them uaps yes i hadn't heard this yeah what does that stand for uap is kind of like the cool guy way to talk about identified aerial aerial got it right i landed that on my own that was pretty good. Didn't need you. I do think the technology for shooting down ICBMs with lasers is very much, if not here, very close. It's here, but this happened in 1967. Which feels early for that technology. Yeah, I don't know if the tech was there. Right.

Right? Is there any chance this was just the Soviets and probably kind of a hotspot in the decades-long Cold War? Maybe. Yeah, this is post-long Cold War. Maybe. Yeah, this is post-Kennedy. Did y'all see that weird sphere that washed up on the beach in Japan? It did. It was a buoy. Yeah.

It didn't look that weird to me. It looked like something that you would find in the ocean. It looked like a buoy. Like not something that's out there all the time. Like a freight ship. is that how big it was it was uh i'm guessing like eight feet in diameter maybe a little bit bigger i don't know maybe smaller yeah i just i think now we're kind of at the point to where any anything that could remotely be categorized as a ufo or you know that's going to become a a headline on the daily

the world is is horny for a an alien conspiracy speaking of horny for aliens we want it so bad that we just like we're just anything is what turn up producer randy's mic randy had a theory on what like why we're being visited and by whom randy why don't you go ahead and break it down i don't know if it's a full theory and sorry i'm a little rattled up for spending habits so you're not a fan of my land purchase i am not they're not making any more of it he's a real estate professional all lowercase diversifying check him out on linkedin so dave and i were discussing that maybe this isn't aliens and it's just future humans that have come in come back from the past from the future humans coming yeah okay and their their whole reason is this is uh based off the star trek prime directive

get a little nerdy here is is pretty much that we're not supposed to interfere with uh natural advancements and they're just here to make sure we don't kill ourselves and blow up the planet so that they can live dylan you look properly disgusted what do you think about that um i you know it's a fun it's a fun theory i don't necessarily hate it uh do i think that's the case no i don't think time travel is ever going to be possible okay you've effectively shit on randy so what's your thought it's a fun theory. If time travel is possible, it's always been possible. Yeah, it's something you need to think about. I don't think it's possible. That's what I'm saying.

I don't think it's possible. At least interactive time travel. In other words, I think it's impossible. Right. Yeah. I would love for it to be. That'd be sick. Yeah.

It'd be so sick. You'd go back to junior year, bases loaded base is juiced two outs two strikes and you didn't swing you took it right down the pipe that's probably not where i would go first but like that's like the 10th stop i would make you would stop some disasters defensively to foul it off if you don't like the pitch if i knew what pitch was coming i'd absolutely just whiz on it oh so you would go back knowing what the pitch was, what you struck out on, and you're like, I know it's going to be cheese down the pipe. I'm going to whiz on it.

So now I'm going to blast it. I'm a hero. I'm just going to piss on it. Completely change the direction of my life. Where did I lose that ball in the lights? I lost that ball in the lights. That's right. Thank you, Randy, for bringing that up.

There's not really a – You don't kill for like a one hop. Like playing third base, you get a one hopper your way, just a nice easy just can of corn hop. Just fire it across. And throw a piss missile across. That'd be fun. Yeah.

Dave doesn't know that. What would you do? No, I don't. They moved me from third to short. He had a second base arm. And a second. I did. That's true.

That's okay. I was one of the – You need a good second baseman. I was the youngest person on my team. I was young for my grade. That's my excuse. You ever twist it up with the ball in the back of your glove? You catch it instead of in the glove?

No. No. I played it by the book what would you what were you changing you going back in time i don't i'm i'm good you're comfortable with all the all the purchases you've made all the acquisitions there's not like a maybe a a non-fungible token that you'd like to have no the nft stuff i, I could take a – That's where we're going. Yes. No, I could definitely stand to dump those at some point. I don't know, man. They might go up at some point.

I don't think they're going anywhere. Yeah, I just don't know. I don't know how much – I mean, he does have a Devin Booker pass. Devin Booker, arguably a top-ten player in the NBA. It's definitely not Devin Booker. I just couldn he does have a Devin Booker past. Devin Booker, arguably a top 10 player in the NBA. It's definitely not Devin Booker. I just couldn't. I have no idea who it is. I'll buy that surge from you.

No, you won't. Yeah. I don't even want to sell it. I'll give you $1.50. Like $1.50? Yeah. I would rather risk shrinking my testicles by drinking a surge cola than own a surge of vodka. Well, good news.

If you drink Pepsi or Coke, Dave, it grows your testicles. There you go. Yeah. Seriously. No, there's an article that I almost mentioned. I must have missed that on the rundown. Why didn't you put that?

You should have put that in here. I don't think people want testicle talk on the podcast all that much. Do you know what we do? Yeah, we're children're children yeah i'm fucking hosting yeah drink you know it's gonna be juvenile this is the new york post so uh drinking coke and pepsi leads to larger testicles like suicide more testosterone more testosterone study says what about diet coke there's no way i don't need all that sugar man

uh let's see coda cola and pepsi unclear if they've done diet coke the study was done with um rodents and their testicles were tested on day one as well as day five seven ten and fifteen the control group that drank pepsi and diet or excuse me pepsi and coke experienced higher levels of the male hormone and larger testicles. I'm going to start pounding Pepsi, man, see what happens. So wait, it's Coke and Pepsi? Coke and Pepsi, yes.

What's the ingredient? You've got to be careful. Why can't we just silo that ingredient off and just pass it around to the boys? Like, what's going on? Yeah, boys are looking to get bigger balls. You may have bigger balls, but, Dave, you may have 30% fewer sperm. Ah, dang it. In those balls. I think my baby-making days are over anyway.

I just want the tea. You got an announcement? I've not gotten a vasectomy, if that's what you're asking about, no. Explain to the folks at home what that is exactly. Yes. Yeah, thank you. Vasectomy is where they do a little surgical procedure on your testicles, like in your side of your ball sack,

and it makes you unable to produce living sperm or something. I don't know. You can't make babies anymore. Yeah. Well said. Yeah. You shoot blanks. Ooh.

I have found my thing. It is a BAM out of bio. Okay. Yeah. LU? Yeah. Is it sick though? I was trying to see it.

Yeah, dude. Check this out. How do you go from bam autobiography let's see let's see devin booker pass get some get some ah he didn't really yam it though he just kind of put it home well it's i wanted him to hang on the rim yeah you gotta yam that bam you gotta put your forearm in the rim that's what people are doing now that's the bulk of them in i'm not buying that one on it like no you don't have to i don't want to buy that you want to search i want the surge yeah check this we're okay this is bad this is bad content we can't just look at your nfts that's

a better dog you got to paint a picture for the people who are not looking at your monitor which is no one he yams over somebody playing for the toronto rap can you just right click save and then email it to me probably yeah i'm gonna screenshot your shit when you go to lunch today should i should i put out a screenshot of my nft you should you should just sale you should just completely yeah you've given up yeah you're an nft nihilist at what point did you buy the bam uh same it's like same hour as okay okay i was gonna say i will say you bought it later on as you were no no no hemorrhaging money a better get diamond hands dog yeah do never let those go those are yours i know i can take them i know much like the four acres and uh pecos that's right no we can take that either i still think you should visit i don't know that's a lot of get a picture you're going like

this with your hands on your hips like looking over your your land, being like, yep. This is it. Just take a PTO day like, hey, I'm going to go just check out my property, guys. Go water. Go water your property. It's just tough to get sod to grow out there. It's up to you. Literally anything to grow. Yeah.

That's why it's a perfect place for solar. Is that snake country? What's out there? There's probably snakes. Where's the rattlesnake fest? Is that Big Spring? I don't know. You've never driven out west Texas way? where's the rattlesnake fest at big spring i don't know you never driven out west texas way there's a rattlesnake thing uh out west and all my all my tech fans are like hooting and hollering i do not like rattlesnakes man you should know that about me rattlesnake roundup it's in big spring yeah where's big spring uh it's off of

20 i think further like when you hit 84 to go north to lubbock i think you stay on it then you hit big i'm gonna go up that way too much yeah i used to famously uh was in a long distance uh engagement i went to love i took a job at grand i used to love it one time you did oh my god this is crazy that's so many snakes in the snake pit do they kill them all i don't know i think they just round them up and hang out with them. Do like photo shoots, like dress them up,

put little like... Drink beers with them and shit? Yeah, cartoon glasses on them and stuff. Everyone's passing Pepsi around? Is that where... Boys are just getting their testicles swollen.

Does Gardner State Dave make an appearance there? No, he doesn't get along with rattlesnakes. He wouldn't last one minute. No, he wouldn't as he's not

a venomous snake. He looks like they're little rattlesnakes. He'd get torn apart by the... Yeah, I don't know how long he lasts't last he wouldn't last one minute no he wouldn't as he's not a venomous snake he was like they're those famously i get torn apart by the yeah i don't know how long he lasts in that situation that's one he can't talk his way out of he stumbled into the wrong roundup he's like whoa i thought i was just going to see the solar panels did not realize didn't realize you were rounding up rattlesnakes yeah i was looking for Schmerriman's property. Here we are. I don't even know if you could find it. Dylan, didn't you grind in a foam party at Roundup in high school?

I didn't grind in the foam party, but I went to a foam party. Were you just a guy standing in the corner watching the grinding in the foam? Dude, I was 16. It was a KA foam party. This is 1999. I've told you all about this. Why were they just allowed to have high school kids go to their i mean i understand that is for high school i know but it's just it just seems like there's a lot of things that can go wrong those things are disgusting no one has

ever enjoyed a phone party it it would it would cost a lot of money to get me to commit to going to a phone party i tried they're disgusting for uh parks's birthday a couple years ago i wanted you to do the foam party, but you refused. Probably the right call. They're so gross. Looking back on it, yeah, right call.

People are like hooking up in there and shit, and there's weird bodily fluids. Like, is that foam? You just don't know. It's gross, man. Your wheels are turning.

What do you got? I'm just thinking, we did one, the Barstool Blackout Tour event we went to. It did not have foam in it. I'm wondering why. Hey, I know we're cooking and having a lot of fun, but we should probably knock out one or two of our ad reads at some point. I would love to talk about our good friends at Shopify.

We could go any number of directions, but let's go to Vice. Dave went on Vice. Randy, can you hit us with the story? Headline from Vice. This is a real headline.

This one caught my eye. Oh, yes. Sorry to interject. To be clear, these are actual headlines and not fake ones that you've written. You're looking at it. What does that look like to you in the image it looks like um like an old uh it looks like oh it looks like bam bam of the flintstones the the thing that he used to walk the club to walk around with and just beat things with well according to scientists this is a a not that in

fact this headline here says ah yes this is a dick archaeologists may have found the first roman dildo did you say archaeologists archaeologists did i say rk you did i just that just that caught me off guard i'm sorry i don't know why regional regional pronunciation like lawyer no no one says rk i don't know why i think i'm the only one that says lawyer i think that's not even reason that's just that's just a dylan thing no this guy who famously is a lawyer says lawyer i say lawyer because it's l-a-w i prefer if you're addressing me esquire thank you okay i like i like the word attorney better than lawyer what about barrister no i don't like that are all attorneys dave can you jerks as ignorant, are all attorneys prosecutors? No.

There's different, obviously, levels to this. Prosecutors do criminal cases. They want to lock you up. Yeah. What about civil cases? Throw away the key. There's nothing civil about it. Let me tell you that right now.

Oh. Nice. A lot of times, just a pissing contest. Mm-hmm. Don't we know that? Anyway. How about this Roman dildo? Look at that fucking thing. Look at that. That does. Okay. How do they know about this roman dildo look at that fucking thing look at that that does okay how do they know it's a dildo look at the head dude i mean yeah well

now that you look yeah well that's an interesting question brett the ashwood object originally recovered in 1992 and cataloged as a darning tool you got a lot of darning tools uh what's a i know what darning is dylan but could you explain it for the folks i also i clearly do obviously but um again i don't like just mansplaining to folks at home so dave just tell everyone what a darning is well let me tell you this first it was originally cataloged cataloged as a darning tool was revisited and reclassified recently after being examined by archaeologists who again thought it resembled the male organ so obviously since they didn't want to explain i'll just i mean i think it's something like darning is like the skill or activity of mending a hole in knitted material so they thought this was used for knitting

i really just have to say that are they just looking are they looking for clout are they looking for a headline are they chasing the thumbnail because like headlines looking at this i i think what you said is probably the best like this looks like a club possibly a weapon i need something for scale here how big is this thing is this is this five feet is this i'm looking six and a half inches long yeah that makes it that's an argument for for do for sure. That's like a good-sized human penis. Give me your best three arguments for dildo, Brett. Go ahead. The head seems to be creatively crafted. Made out of wood, though.

That's what I'm caught up on. I don't really know what else. That's a splinter waiting to happen. They hadn't leveraged fossil fuels at that time. I would have think... They didn't have a lot of plastics. Wouldn't you think a dildo would be made out of stone back in the day? Maybe.

Everything about that, David? Well, I agree with you. Wood seems problematic. Right, right, right. We're talking splinters here. At worst. Right. Chafing at best.

Right. Chafing. Ever been chafed? we did we did this story for one reason and it's just this quote it's it says he came across this object and said ah yes this is a dick co-researcher rob collins senior lecturer of archaeology at newcastle university told vice world news over a video call he i just i'm thinking of'm just thinking of a guy with a monocle and an Indiana Jones hat being like, ah, yes, this is a dick. He researches the notions of sexuality in the Roman frontier,

which seems oddly specific. Interesting. I wonder if there's good money in that. Hard to say. All right, do your carnival thing. A woman, Dave, in New Jersey, Wildwood, New Jersey, she's a crook. Here's what she was doing.

She was over-inflating basketballs at the basketball shooter station three times more than the ideal limit the ideal limit okay i'm gonna say isn't this just common practice at carnivals like they have like the rims are oval and the ball's over inflated you have to have a perfect swish the whole situation absolutely see i always thought it was it was a combination of that and then the rim being like like maybe even triple rimmed like absurd absurd bounce just mad stiffy meds yeah mad stiffy rims yeah yeah she was over inflating the balls three times she's been fined fifteen thousand five

hundred dollars and banned from the boardwalk for 10 years she's the bad girl the board that is a stiff punishment 10 years off the boardwalk how's she supposed to make a living well she's gonna have to she's gonna have to go swindle somebody else, Dave, with her overinflated balls. This just feels like, yeah, like I said, common practice, man. These things are rigged against you. I want to paint a picture for you guys. You guys are in this picture.

You're walking down the midway. You're at the fair. And you're walking down. You got your gal on your arm. Ring tossing. Maybe your kid. Trying to win like a big you know paying one for bay you have to win one let's say you have like you're you got to get your you got to get

parks a giant stuffed panda or some shit which one are you which one are you choosing what are you most confident i might shoot the water in the clown's mouth dude that's what that's i shoot the water in the and the and the horses go across you just took took my thing. You said clown's mouth. That's what you shoot. That's what you shoot. Typically. I mean, of course, there are different variations of this one. Sure.

I got a steady hand, dog. Look at that. It's pretty steady. I think I'm a ring toss guy. That's the hardest game. You're not ring tossing. I think I'm ring tossing. That's bad. You got all the bottles out there and. I think I'm ring tossing. That's bad.

You got all the bottles out there, and all you got to do is toss it on. No. Are you surprised Dylan's answer wasn't the sledgehammer? That's a great point. Catch me sledging. Yeah. Yeah. You know what?

That's a good one. The guess your weight has always baffled me. You ever been in a house of mirrors, Dave? Yeah, I have. You're not one of the stuffed animals doing that, though. a house of mirrors, Dave? Yeah, I have. You're not one of the stuffed animals doing that, though. A house of mirrors? No. That's just for funsies.

No, you're just testing your mind. The basketball one is tough. It's tough, man. They over-inflate the ball. Honestly, it's probably the last one I'm doing. What about throwing the softball at the plates? How about that one? That one always seems like it should be very easy, but it never is.

Yeah. Feel me on that? I went to the Texas State Fair last year. I was kind of looking in for carnival games. What are we missing out on? You've never been to the State Fair of Texas, have you? I went last year, yeah. You did? I did. Quite the scene.

Did you get a fried Oreo or something? I did do a fried Oreo. I thought fried Oreo was very, very good. did you get a fried oreo or something i did do a fried oreo i thought fried was very very good do you do the fried butter no i didn't i think that's too much that's too much last time i went to the fair was alyssa and i i think we were still dating and i did the they had the the radar gun they had the fast pitch thing i don't think he won anything but i did that and uh for about probably the next two months um had a lot of rotator cuff discomfort some pain there how high are you pumping it oh i mean i'm flirting with 50 55 it's pretty good really getting into one that's good man you don't see that very often no

no that's that's what they call second base arm strength yeah and i wonder why they famously what could you pump right now oh god i mean with i would absolutely like dave said i would absolutely hurt myself no warm-up a hundred percent there's just more on dads and people like me are just going up there like watch this babe give me give me a few months to uh get my arm back in throwing shape how do you do that exactly by stretching and long toss stretching and throwing long toss is great for the arm when did when did the football for pitchers warm up become a thing we did that a little bit in high school did you a little bit i i never liked it because it's it involves pronating

your wrist like that and when i would throw a baseball like that it would hurt my elbow more wait what does it involve pronating your wrist. Okay. Throw it like that versus like that. Yeah. Like curveball motion or slider motion versus football motion. You don't do it like that. What are you talking about? The last finger on a football when you throw it once is going to be – It goes forward.

Well, it's going to be your index finger. I thought the thumb kind of – that's kind of your follow through. Yeah, you go like that. I don't think so. You know my story. I've told it once or twice. Might have blogged it. I somehow got chose to pitch.

And this is like year one of kid pitch. It's my favorite article I've ever read on PGP. Is that true? You're probably one of 400 people who read it. I think it's what got me into PGP. That means a lot. It was all true. I didn't embellish any of it.

And they're like, hey, Ruff, you're going to pitch today. I'm like, am I? All right. Normally I'm playing shortstop at the time. He was doing cheddar. Well, and so we're there warming up. And again, I've had no formal pitching training. My dad and I may be in the backyard, definitely, but didn't know pitches.

And one of the assistant coaches comes up. He's like, all right. He brings the catcher over. He's like, all right. He brings the catcher over. He's like, all right, this is curve. This is fastball. This is splitter. And I'm just like, I was like, my man, I'm eight. I'm not, you're probably not going to, I'm not throwing a 12, a six.

I'm not about to like, I was like, we're just trying to get it over the plate and get it over the plate. I did. And then shout out OCBF for just absolutely shelling me into submission. I was like, we're just trying to get it over the plate. And get it over the plate I did. And then shout out OCBF for just absolutely shelling me into submission. They teed off on us. They left me out there. They didn't have anybody else. They just let me go out there.

I think I gave up like 17 unearned. There are fewer worse feelings in sports, certainly in baseball, when you're just getting absolutely shelled and you know, you have nothing, you know, you have like, you're just, you're up there just throwing, just meat soft serve and they're teeing off on you. Like coach, please just end this for me. They like, you're the last pitcher though. Like you're just like, we're down 12, just finished the game. Dylan.

I'm just, I'm looking over and I'm like, you want to come get me or not? All right. There's parents in the stands they're just like hey okay i wish i had the the the uh intelligence to have like faked an injury like i should i should have been like just hobbled and like bring them out and like everybody comes out and they're standing around me in a circle and i'm talking into my gloves so the cameras don't pick up what i'm saying did you did you have a wind-up back then yeah i think i was like mimicking uh smee from hook when he was pitching to jack like i think i was doing some

bullshit like over the head no my my this is like the early 90s so i'm like i'm trying to mimic uh nolan ryan and like bobby witt over the head over that you don't see that much anymore dave no probably a big part of my problem trying to emulate the uh the biggest freak in history of pitching a guy who was throwing gas and at like 48 years old the el duque or don't roll willis leg kick that was a little bit after my time but there's no doubt i would have tried that yeah it might have hey it might it might have helped you but you were throwing strikes which is what matters. It does. I mean, they were hittable strikes. That's the important thing.

You weren't walking the world. Nothing worse than when a guy gets up there and he's just walking everybody. You're like, come on, man. Give us a chance to make a play. You know what that means. It's time for This Weekend in Fun, presented by Early Bird CBD. Got a little package in today. Care to share what that was, Nolan?

It was Early Bird CBD. We love Early Bird. Their gummies are a recreational hemp product and they contain 2.5 milligrams of natural THC and 12.5 milligrams of CBD in each gummy. I'm not exaggerating when I say I take, take one almost every night. It helps me sleep. It helps me relax. They're formulated for fun and they make you feel good. Sometimes I'll take them before I go out. I know we might have a podcast video producer guy that might take them just like eight in the morning for some reason, because he just likes to fucking get lit i am i'm borderline obsessed with you know what look

that's not borderline i'm full-on obsessed with this stuff like you i take it pretty much every night um it calms me down it gives me a little uh a little high a little bit just a tinge of highness i don't know the right word there. Scratches the surface. And I have the best nights of sleep of my life. They're Austin-based, which is cool, too. We know these guys. Yeah. Also, they're just hell of a nice guys. Our first sponsor when we started this new washed media venture.

I've been, as a kid, the first time I went to casino, I was definitely chastised by an old old feller. Yeah, he looked like he spent a lot of time in the casino. He probably did. I'm 23.

The whole squad's out of town, man. Will's gone too. And yeah, I'm going to be pretty bored. Hang out at Parks. Why don't you and Randy go get a beer?

And let me tell you, they weren't the skinnies. I had a headache when I got home. Wow. You got to go with the fatties? Yeah, well, they had a tray and a guy walked up and he was like, Margarita? I wasn't going to be the guy like, do you have anything with less sugar? I'm not going to do that.

Probably a mix of Coke and Pepsi, maybe a splash of rum. that what are you gonna drink in vegas or what's your what's your table drink of choice probably a mix of coke and pepsi maybe the splash of rum dude that's that's that big ball it's called big balls big big it's called the big yeah the big baller or so here's my my thing dave with you and table games you don't really want to be drinking beer a bunch because then you have to pee a bunch right uh yeah that's fair that's a fair assessment of what's going to happen yeah so dave's going cocktail i'll go i'll go with you no i'm a cocktail guy i'll probably stick to either vodka soda or tequila soda and yes that's a guy who's

been there before i am going to take a dip through the cosmo i am not drinking cosmopolitans i'm saying i'm going to go through the cosmo and i'm going to see if an old friend might be there. I didn't even think about that. See where I'm going with this? That'll be my most liked Instagram ever. You follow me? I did not think about that. At DC Rough on the gram. Make it happen, please.

Hey, Dave, this is my one ask. Can we get a gram off this weekend that is not just 12 guys in a line arm to arm? Yeah, I don't want to take that photo. And honestly, I've thought about it. I'm dreading it because I think I know most of the guys going on this trip. I've never met Klein's brothers, but I assume that they are as large as Klein. And I am easily going to be the tiniest guy. And I'm going to look like a total idiot in that photo that you're talking about. The 12, 12 guys in a line. I'm going to be the guy who's like,

I'm like hanging off like these other two giants. Yeah, because every guy on there is like either played football at Rice or works in football. Assuming Trevor's going, don't stand next to Trevor. Trevor's a big deal. I refuse. He is going. I still owe him a sack tap, by the way. Will you get him for me?

You owe me a tap him in his nutsack. Please. He knows that I owe him one. Okay. From many years ago. Well, that was a fun show. Yeah. I think we really hit our stride talking Carney games.

It was fun shit, man. Did you have fun? Yeah. Did you have fun? I had a good time. Yeah, somebody's going to be like DMing, like tagging the show and be like, man, that Brett fucking financial investments.

What an idiot. I don't think any... I think this West Texas piece might pay off. That is something I will... The sun hits it. That's all you need. Very much holding on to. What was the damage?

The NFT... Not bad, actually, on the acreage. But the NFTs, that's... You know what? You guys can have that one. He's taking a bath on that. I'm taking a bath on that. You're getting smoked?

Diamond hands. We're going to come in here one day and Brad's going to be like, yeah, I bought a boat. Yeah. I did check out how bad a jet ski would be. If you have a slip already kind of given to you. You don't need that. I'm not.

Who's going to give you a slip? Slips in this town are very expensive. They're very expensive. All right. Fun show. Rest of the week, we got listener voicemails dropping only on Patreon tomorrow. We have two Patreon joints, John's dropping tomorrow. We got two John's dropping tomorrow.
