Mattel Ranchos, Maddo Ranchos, Maddo Ranchos, Maddo Ranchos Well, all right, we're back. It's a circling back podcast. It's Wednesday morning. I'm Dave. And I'd like to introduce our producer right now. His name is Randall Trembacki, and he's the reason you tuned in. Randall, tell the people at home what you're feeling. Hi, Dave.

I'm feeling great. I'm feeling swell. Yeah? Great and swell. And I wasn't prepared. You got a glow about you, man. What's going on? I'm just doing content.

I'm pregnant. That's my big announcement. That's your big announcement. Okay. That's my glow. That's your glow. I'm glowing because it's fumble week. Oh, yeah. I'm excited for that this evening afternoon. A couple hours from now

and record. It's fumble week. What's that mean? Well, it means just love interest fumbles. I don't know. Dillon's always talking about coochie fumbles. It's a very appropriate way of putting it. Whatever that means. Love interest fumble. Romantic fumbles. Romantic fumbling. Yeah, not not tales of heartbreak per se. Well, something that didn't work out for you like you thought maybe it should have. Like maybe, uh, you know, you're a, you're playing a game of football and you're about to take the ball and you're going to score a touchdown. You're going to cross the plane with the ball. But of course, touchdown is an analogy for like, fucking. Tabor off

everybody. And you fumbled it. And you fumbled it. Yep. It happens to, you know, it happened to the best of us. Well, that's going down today. So if you're listening to this, You got about an hour, probably, to get a voicemail on 888-618-48-4-2-4-22. You got it. I said that so fast. Yeah. Why'd you speed me up? That was just, that was just Nashville.

You're just a speedy guy. I got a comment here in the chat. Comment in the chat. Is this true, Dave? Is this accurate? Are Anderson and Duncanville playing each other this Friday? Are your high schools facing each other? What?

I don't know. Someone says that. There's no way Anderson is playing Duncanville. I don't think so. I don't know, but they said that maybe? I'll tell you what, my high school, Anderson, is having a fantastic football season. Fantastic. Okay, I think they're maybe saying if they were to play.

But they want no part of the Duncanville Panthers. I promise you that. The caliber of opponent that my high school has played thus far in the season is not on the same level as the Panthers of old Duncanville. It would be ugly. When will they play Travis or Westlake? I don't I don't know it's it's got to be happening very soon very uh somebody in the chat check that because that would be a fun one to go to Anderson high school those tickets are hard to come by those Westlake tickets and Lake Travis for that matter but yeah no that might happen

in the playoffs let's I got the schedule right here Davey all right today is the fifth yeah we have wait a minute wait a minute the last home game is tomorrow what versus versus weiss i don't know who the hell that is oh this can't be right yeah i know i know i know playoffs are like duncanville's already locked up a spot well yeah but okay i don't know i'm very confused i am too yeah yeah because, yeah, first round, I believe, first or second round. So, okay. Thanksgiving sneaking up on us right there.

The guy doing the heavy lifting on the high school football schedule searching, that's Dylan Shibray. Yeah, I don't know what I was looking at there. None of the teams except for McCallum on the schedule looked familiar to me, so I don't know what's going on. But I'm happy to be here. And if Anderson plays one of those big dogs, I will love to go. watch it. Maybe take the boys. Who's their stud? They have a safety who's committed to Texas. His name is Jaheim Riley. And he's the only name I know. Interesting. I think the quarterback sneaky is decent. Yeah. I don't know anything about

him. We had a, we had a coach stopped by, old friend of ours. One of their coaches stopped by recently, gave us a rundown. Secondary coach. But I don't really remember what he was, because he was high I mean, they were, I think they were four or five and no when he came in. But yeah, okay. Well, that's your high school sports minute. I believe during my entire four years at Anderson High School, I believe we won like two games. That's it? No, no bullshit.

We were bad, bad. That's really bad. Yeah. Damn. That's not true. We won like, we won one game up until, like, like, we won one game up until, like, like my senior year and then I think we we think we won like four did people go to the games mostly yeah did people go yeah I went okay some of them you know sometimes I just want to go

drink beer instead you know because I'll later join a frat yeah we used to drink before the games I didn't play because that would be stupid to drink before you played football I also did not play football but one time we did uh we walked to the game from my parents house and we had hid some bottles full of ever clear and sunny delight and there's this big pine not a pine tree there's a big tree

and we hit it under the tree and on our way up there we got it and drank it and we were real hammered and it was real dumb and that's the end of that story sunny delight and what? Everclear.

How'd you hide it under a tree? Like you dug it up? It wasn't like a tree like it was like a tree that almost like a... Oh okay so like it was a pine tree that had like all leaves on the bottom. So you can put it in the branches.

I should know my trees better, but yeah. Actually, we, this is how frat we were looking back at it. It's, you know, maybe a little cringy, but pretty frat. The night before graduation, we, like, all hid beers in the bushes around the clock tower because we knew that after graduation we were going to want to come out and shotgun a beer. And it was going to be a Sunday, and we weren't going to be able to, like, go buy beer and go get one.

This is in college? Yeah. to college we like the night before when we like recorded so we knew exactly what Bush they were going to be in they were still there it's like it's like the you hear about people burying liquor in Zulker Park before ACL then they go dig it out I don't know if anyone actually does that I usually hear it drugs a lot of trouble just just buy it you know just buy a drink flation is a real thing yeah mom donnie's gonna change Okay

It's going to put a freeze on the alcohol prices We've got to get these alcohol prices under control How does that affect me as a citizen of Austin? The alcohol prices or Mom Donnie? Yeah I don't know. I don't have the answers. Come on.

I was looking to buy some property there. Out New York way? Uh-huh. In the city? I want to be a landlord. You're going to buy a penthouse in the upper... No, I would just go to the gas station. for that okay i brought some property in mexico city to help gentrify it

boy they you would be so annoying i just finished listening to tuesday's uh wednesday's episode oh you're actually listening to them yeah i go back to hear all the shit we talked oh yeah yeah it's it's very funny that you guys were talking about like when you guys are talking about the dr pepper shootout i'm like that sounds phenomenal and then later in the episode you're like oh randy would have loved the dr pepper shootout yeah and you accurately predicted that i would got my face painted. Poor, poor, that was, that was a no-brainer.

Yeah, always going to happen. Did anybody, did you get any blowback? No. You shouldn't have. But woke is dead. Haven't you heard? No, I heard it's back after last night. For painting his face?

I saw that on Twitter. What, like, yeah, no, I, we were joking about that. Appropriating culture. Yeah. You can tell, you're going to tell the people, like, no, I'm good. Yeah, no, it's one of those things that's like, I get some blowback back home. If I was in someone's house and they, like, invite me and enjoy their culture, and I said,

No, I'm white. I'm not going to do that. It's kind of racist. No, I'm a Polish podcast producer. So I'm going to... Those enchiladas look really good, but... Not for me. You didn't have any enchiladas there, did you?

No, I've really... Like, the only thing I had was like a cassidia and, like, a taco. Like, that was only like, kind of like Tex-Mex Mexican food I had. All the other stuff was like really high. Were you poo-pooing casidias recently? No. I don't think so. No.

I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure out there. Oh, you said, maybe I did. Maybe I did. I think you might have said they're mid. I just feel like cassidia is a child's menu order. It is the most likely order from a child. Yeah.

I wonder if these are more authentic the ones I had because it wasn't like shredded cheese and like melty. It was kind of like a block of cheese like it looked like. It was like more white. I don't know exactly what it was. Really? Yeah. Was it the chefs homemade?

I don't know what it was. A block of white cheese. I'm sure there's some like some Mexican people in the chat can tell me what the actual that cheese is. I don't know if it's like Chihuacians in the chat stand up for Randy right now shout out to all the Mexicans in the chat yeah I can tell me uh look at somebody's not wearing their Spanish word hat today oh wow guess who is me manana versus hollering you've been you've really been introducing some new hats dude yesterday I wore my Los Longhorns one

I recorded that Monday afternoon and I did say the word. So I just saw, so I did practice a little bit. But I got you guys some stuff. I got you, I got you. Oh, you should not have. You should not have. You got, when you went to, where did you go? You brought us back some sugar skulls back in the day.

Yeah. Cabo? Why'd you say Cabo? I don't know. Like you're going to go in there for spring break. Cabo? Yeah, he did. Mine is still on my desk. Where was I?

I mean, it hadn't been Cabo. It's the only place I really ever go. I think you're in Calbo. Yeah, we sent me there. So I got everyone some more sugar. No, I made sure I didn't get that because I know that you ready had gotten everyone that. I have mine in my desk back home. Well, thank you, Randy.

I put him in this nice little hat. I'll wear. You got to put the hat on. After you give the trinkets. Of course, so I got you guys some little wooden animals. I was hoping. Oh. Their heads bob and stuff.

So would you like me to assign you one or would you like to pick? I want you to assign them. Yeah, you assign them. I want you to explain why you're assigning each one to us. Okay, well, yours will be easy why I'm doing that. Can the folks at home see the trinkets? Yeah, yeah. Why is there just a super helpful one that you're going to give to me?

Is that why? No, there's one. There's one that doesn't optimize its variables. Oh. So I'll show the three that I got right here. I got, I got one armadillo, one iguana, and one lion. And then the one I'm going to be giving to Dylan, its head does not move. It tail moves because it's a big red cock.

So I'm going to go ahead and give you. That's tight, though. That one's sick. That one's gnarly. But why is that one mine? Because I'm a cock? No, because you just don't like the word cock. Yeah.

It's that simple. You have an issue saying. Can I come grab it? Yeah, come, come grab your cock. Ha. Look at this, folks. It's a visual show. You're welcome.

And then Dave. Tune in to see Dylan's cock. That's mad cute, yo. Sometimes we make jokes. Yo, that's mad cute. Dave, I'm in between giving you either the armadillo because you're from Texas or the lion because you're a big cat guy. Is I'm full of it? You know what?

I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to give you the armadillo. You're a Texas guy. You are a Texas guy. here I come I'll give the lion a big game Armadillos of course are blind

or almost completely blind That's really cool And then so The lion will go to Brett for big game And the lizard will go to Mr. William Will, yeah he gives a lizard

That one's cool I'm vibing with that one Man this is cool Randy Thank you Andy that's very thoughtful of you Oh look at this Moink I might put this on my

Don't break it dog I want to give this to my name i might give it to my son yeah i know the the little uh when i went to japan the little cat that i have the way's arm apparently will brought charlie in here and he was obsessed with it too so kids will love that too trinkets trinkets are the best the armadillo um is a very resilient animal are they probably what why do you say that i don't know they're always just walking around they're blind i think they're legally blind right i'm legally blind they are uh armadillos are not blind but they have very poor eyesight like i said they're not completely blind they rely

heavily on their acute senses of smell and hearing to navigate their environment and find food their poor vision is a result of their evolutionary history as their ancestors lived in underground environments where eyesight was less important interesting about that Oh, very cool That's crazy You didn't have to look that up It's always fun to see an Armadillo out in the wild I feel like I've only seen

A live one I think I've only seen once And it was right outside the lodge It was a whole family of them Oh dude the the vape house The old studio over in Barton Hills I saw a whole family one morning And I was like damn

a video of a coyote versus a chaparral coyote was chasing the chaparral just like the cartoon and then all you had to do is scroll a little bit and you saw that it was AI it was like grog confirmed I was like thanks for sending me this I weirdly knew it was AI immediately

I'm so sick of this shit man so many like ring camera AI videos these days have you guys seen those oh yeah god it's just and uh the video wasn't even shocking yeah the roadrunner is not going to get caught by the coyote they're very fast they run fast it's called a road runner so it's the whole thing about can they fly i don't think so they just run huh quail run a lot if you if you ever been quail hunting oh yeah a lot of time you got to shoot them while they're running because that's on sports they'll just take off on you it's not sportsman like bro yeah it depends

If they're running, if they're zipping past you, I mean, I think it's fair game. Send the dog, I'll stick the dogs on them, bro. Oh, who. Yeah. Well, Randy. That's a very cool of you, ma'am. We appreciate you. You didn't get these at the airport, did you?

No, no. I got them on the streets of Talakapake. There was a vendor there. And I was like, oh, those are perfect for people's desks. Man, you really set the bar. So next trip. What did Dylan bring us from Amsterdam? Nothing.

genius he believed in us not just us in us more so than anyone else dude that's great idea I had a birthday as I do once a year oh happy birthday thank you it's not for many months

unlike this fuckers he he called a meeting in the conference room we went in there like yeah he's like that's your birthday I was like fuck yeah dude thanks man what are we doing in here he had like a cooler full of ranch water stuff and we just sat in the conference room and drank ranch waters.

There's like 12 us just in there getting just annihil it. So he had these standing meetings with everybody once a week. And you're like, all right, let's go talk, you know, content ideas, media department in general, how things are going. And we just, it was just bullshitting for an hour and it usually involved us getting drunk. He was a coach. Okay, you know you're like a player's coach. He's a player's coach. He's the definition of a player's coach.

Yeah. Like one of our meetings, we just went to the ABGB and drinking. like four beers each. Yeah. It's great. Is that a better Grand X birthday than the time that someone emailed that it was your birthday and then no one respond to it and then he responded thanks at the end of the day. Yeah, that was that honestly might have been the pinnacle of my comedy.

Those are slowly losing steam over the years and then finally like just like, all right, we're done with this shit. Thanks. Thanks. Everyone wish David a happy birthday. So one time for my standing meeting, this is just a segment about our old boss. We should have money. He still lives around here.

We went to Jack Allen's kitchen. You know Jack Allen. Oh, yeah. There's that one out off 360, I think. Uh-huh. We went there. It was like a Tuesday at like 1130. And we went and we sat at the bar and ate, you know.

And then he like ordered a beer. Okay. You know, he's like, and then I ordered like a Diet Coke or water. He's like, you want a beer? I was like, man, it's fucking Tuesday. I don't really. I was like, man, I'm going to try to go to the Gold's gym after this. He was offended.

I know. I could see that it bummed him out. He was really disappointed. Yeah. No, I felt it. It totally changed the tone of our meeting. It went from like, it wasn't like he got mad, but it was just kind of like more somber. I was like, oh, man.

I should have just had the beer. I guess I'll just drink this beer alone. Yeah. I've been there. So I've been rocking fabletics quite a bit. In fact, I've been, I wore the, the pants. I don't know if it's like a traditional jogger,

but I wore them to a t-ball last night. It's perfect for like this in-between weather where it gets cool at night, but it warms up. So if you wear them in the morning when it's a little chilly, when it warms up, the pant is like very thin.

And you feel like, yeah, I should be wearing pants right now. The t-shirt, like the tech t-shirt. I have four of them now. They're very generous. They sent me four of them.

and they fit so perfectly that I've been wearing the shit out of them. I wore one in the gym this morning. It's like a sand. It actually is a sand color. I don't know if that's what I'm talking about. I have the same one, Dave. You do? Yeah.

It's unique. I don't have anything like it. I'm happy to be a Fabletics VIP and becoming a VIP is simple. When you sign up as a new VIP, you get 80% off everything. And after that, the membership is about $60 a month unless you skip. The monthly fee gives you exclusive membership benefits, including a credit you can use toward full outfit. or bundle up to $100. On the first of every month, they send you an email

and you just decide if you want to purchase a member credit or skip the month. And the cool part is that the member credit isn't just for me. I can use it to grab something for my partner or even a friend. I don't know if y'all heard Dave, but he said 80% off. 8.0. That's not a joke.

That's serious. If you're VIP, you get mad discus. I don't know if it's clocking to the folks at home. That's four-fifths of the price is what you're paying. Exactly. So if something were 100 bucks, it drops it down to what? 20, 20, 80, 20, 80, 20 rule. I didn't know this is a time test, math test.

I gave you a pretty simple calculation there. Really hard to mess that one up. And what I like is the quality, had some math leisure that doesn't last. This stuff, this stuff lasts, man. And I wash it often because I do, I'm a, as most people are, I would imagine, I wash stuff when I get home from the gym. I'm not going to re-wear it, you know, because I get in there, I sweat.

I'm crazy like that. I'm going in there and just fucking people's dope up in the gym. I'm just going hard, is what I'm saying? I'm sweating hard. Okay. You know what I'm saying? I understand what sweat. When they see me, they're like, damn,

One and done, huh? I mean, there's no consolation bracket? no in fact there wasn't really even supposed to be like a playoff tournament which is a nice way of saying losers bracket yeah no we weren't we weren't gonna win and that's fine how many teams in this league at least seven or eight okay i think um sorry to get some very close games how did chile dog do uh had a a two rbi double fuck yeah he did you got the game ball fuck yeah yeah so uh coach coach's wife presented a giant baseball like sparkled bedazzled medallions with gold necklaces all the kids oh so these kids are getting participation trophies now

yeah it was dope they're four it's fine it was very dope um how did how did he take the loss does you understand like yeah he i mean he understood yeah he's not actually fine with it um these other teams have like We have one kid who is like the elite athlete, and when he plays pitcher, like, if the ball is hit to him, he will run it over to first. And he's at fast and he can field. And that's how we're going to get our outs. But you can't, you don't leave a kid at pitcher. You have to move kids around.

Otherwise, it would be a very, very, you wouldn't learn anything and you want everybody to play different positions. At that level, the pitching position, they're not, they don't pitch. Obviously, it's t-ball. Pitcher and first base. Yeah. Those are the two. If you have guys who can catch and throw at those two positions, you're going to get a lot of outs. And this team last night, they had probably four kids who were, I would say, elite.

And they were, you know, the first couple of endings, that was their first baseman, that was their pitcher. And their pitcher would make the throw, and he wouldn't even, they couldn't catch it in the air. But they would bounce it in. So they would throw it and roll it to the pitcher or to the first baseman and boom, out. So they were getting a lot of outs. And they were a good team. We actually have played them before. Pretty top-heavy.

But the kids they had, like the top of their order was pretty gnarly. They hit some ropes. But all that says we're playing again in the spring. I believe our coach is say he's going to run it back. I think we're going to stick with the team. I'm kind of... Are you allowed to do that? We have a draft before every season.

There's not a draft for T-Ball. You can request if you want to be on certain teams. That's awesome. So you like his coach? I'm pretty sure we can stay. Yeah. It's like the perfect mix of like... Like there's, he's not an over-the-top coach.

It's basically what I'm saying. He's like, you could tell he knows ball, but like he's not taking it super seriously. He's not getting into it with Omps. Parks' coach is awesome. I'm a big fan. He's really good with the kids. And the best part is, like, as the season went on, like, roads, like, the last two to three weeks. I don't know if it's weather related, but, like, he was excited to go play baseball.

Like, he got home yesterday from school. And he's like, dad, I got to go put my baseball uniform on. I was like, fuck yeah. I didn't say that, but I was thinking. It's like, yeah, dude. So he's like, there hasn't really been a game where he's like, I don't really want to go. Like, we haven't encountered that. And a lot of it's probably because he's got boys on the team.

but it's cool he's going to play spring ball i'm excited so he's he's he's enjoying it enough to keep it going yeah um that's that's big and i want to yeah i want to work with them on uh hitting i don't know what you know nothing crazy but i want to practice over the winter in our league so there are there's it goes from you know t ball up to coach pitch kid pitch and then kid pitch there are two levels minors and majors and at each level there are fewer teams because kids just just get sick of playing baseball and like they just don't sign up again it's kind of sad yeah but like in majors there are only four teams in our at our level there are i think seven i think i stopped playing in eighth grade i kind of like got to the freshman year and was like i don't really want

to play i'm going to do like the golf class eventually golf team but yeah eight grade was my last year um who knows we'll see where it goes i want to mix in some soccer with them too I really hope Parks keeps it going. He gets really frustrated. He gets down on himself sometimes when he just doesn't play well. And then he gets just a little over it. I'm like, dude, keep going. Keep practicing.

It's tough, man. It's tough to keep them engaged at all times. So this team, you know, because they can get kids out, some of these teams. And like, we had kids getting upset because they were getting thrown out at first. And it was like you saw last night, like a kid get out and then like immediately start crying. It's like, oh shit. So, like, having to walk over, like, dude, you just move the runner from first to third.

That's a productive out. I'm over here explaining productive outs to like a four-year-old. You moved them over. I'm like, look at that. And then afterwards, I was like, we just put up a five spot in that inning. And you started it by moving the runner to the third, dude. There you go. That's right.

He's like, I did. By the way, the crying, it lasts for a while. There are still kids in Parks and Lee who will cry when they get out. Yeah. I get it, man. Also, they had to, mid-season, they had to pass a no-throwing helmets rule. We got a bat warning from the game and you have to miss the next game. Like if you get mad and throw your helmet?

If you strike out, you go to dig out and you throw your helmet, that's an ejection. We had to have like a talk with our team about it. So we had a kid who out of the box kind of threw his bat, like running a first, and we got a bat throw warning. And it was like, that's the player's first bat warning. And we're all like, what's the second? What happens if he does it again? Are you going to throw the four-year-old out of the game? We're like, what is this?

You can't throw a four-year-old out of the game. Honestly, I would probably fight an old man umpire because he was an old man. He was a good aunt, but I probably would have fought him if he threw my son out of the game. I will go down for that. You're not throwing my son out. Kids like, what? He's not throwing it. I don't get to play anymore.

He was a bat flipping. He was just like, didn't know what to do. I just could imagine that whole scenario. You know, like he throws him out. Dave gets out there and just puff and puffing, throwing dirt on the, um, shoes. We're doing like the, you know, just chewing each other out on the face. Yeah.

What's the second warning? What's the second fraction going to do? I don't need to call them out maybe. Take my son home? Call them out probably is the. Yeah, that's got to be it. Yeah, Parks has two regular season games left. You've got a game tomorrow and a game Sunday and then playoffs.

start dude their team's an absolute wagon they're so good i want to i want to watch our team i hope our team like is able to stick together because i want to watch them improve together it'll be fun because it was fun watching them from like week one to week eight or whatever uh we almost had three outs which you don't typically get a lot of in the t-ball but we had a rules infraction because our outfielder was playing up and he tagged he got the force out at second and the outfielder's not out of tag second and we were like fuck we thought that was a third out we were mean some of the parents were so bummed uh and then we almost had that kid i was talking about like our are really really good player he was playing pitcher and a kid like hit it like a

pretty decent live line drive at him and he got his glove on it and it knocked it down but we thought he was going to catch it because like no there's been zero fly ball or line drives like caught kids that four or five-year-olds don't catch the ball typically that it's a surprise at our level when it does happen. I was like, oh, I was like, because it would have been a unicorn. There are kids who catch fly balls in our league, and they'll just start jumping up and down for joy because you just don't see it very often. It's like, dude, you cut them.

You're at second base. That's one of my biggest baseball memories was in like six or seventh grade, and I was playing I was playing right field, of course. And dude, I remember the kid, Michael Hathcock, rest in peace. He had a pop up. And I just, I vividly remember it, him, me standing on the ball. And, dude, it felt like it was up there for 20 seconds. And I was just like, oh, fuck.

And I caught it. And I remember being like, oh, shit. And, like, everybody's like, way to go. And I was kind of mad at my dad because I think he was like substitute coaching that day. And he put me in right field. He's like, you're the only one who would have caught that ball. And I was like, oh, yeah, you're right.

And that's not true at all. There's multiple guys on that team who could have gotten you up. But, dude, just being under the ball, I was, oh, man, what a feeling. Still remember that. But, yeah, next year, I'm excited. Spring ball, look out. We'll still be four. No, we'll be five by then.

We'll be five by them. So, look out, Oak Hill. The grasshoppers aren't nothing to be trifled with. Next year's our year, fam. The grasshoppers. Love that name for a little kid team. Oh, one sec. More?

Oh, he's taking the sip of the being on. I want to slow down, pig dog. Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing, man. You can't have too much Stone Creek. You probably could, but I'm not even close. You're just built different. I haven't even scratched the surface on Stone Creek. Damn.

I'm a sicko. You know that about me. I love mattresses, too. I'm a mattress sicko. Lisa. How about them Lisa mattresses? Love my Lisa mattress. I think we've got three in our home?

I was like, oh, yeah, this is the one. I needed like two. I needed like a half of a second. Lisa isn't just about sleep.

I don't know what you're talking about. New grind mentality guy just dropped. Let's go. Randy, if you would pull up the link that I dropped in there. Oh, hell yeah. I found this on Reddit last night. Sometimes I will doomscroll the front page of Reddit as I'm going to bed. And this one caught my eye.

And before we've made a lot of fun. lot of these grinding mentality guys, one of which we talk about the guy who turned a 24-hour day into four, six-hour days. And that's his way of like out-grinding people. This guy, Kai Nam. He was on a 30-hour flight from somewhere in the United States to Saigon. And there's a picture of him sitting there next to someone who's sleeping. and he has his laptop out. A 30-hour flight is crazy. That's it.

I didn't know you could take a 30-hour flight. Probably not taking a flight. That's got to be about as long as it gets, right? Probably, yeah. So that's probably from, like, New York City back across. Saigon, of course, is in, is it Vietnam? It's, uh, Saigon is, uh, near Vietnam. Okay.

I don't know where exactly. He said, I just finished a 30-hour flight from the U.S. to Saigon. Most people paid for a flight. I paid for a flight. I paid for a 30-hour flight. hour mobile office in the air Saigon, of course, is in Vietnam. Okay. In fact, it was

Not even Saigon anymore. It's Ho Chi Minh City. Oh. As I knew. But I was just seen if y'all knew. When we, at the Grandex office, when Rhino got really into ping pong, he started calling himself Ho Chi Men. It was really funny. Anyway, that's neither here. Was he good? He was fine. I think he was not as good as he thought he was.

Anyway, my friend saw me coding. Why not just watch a movie and relax? I calculated the ROI of sleeping on a 30-hour flight, so I broke down the math for her. The ticket wasn't an expense. It was an asset. It bought me 30 hours of uninterrupted time. Sleeping is a conscious decision to depreciate that asset.

My friend was literally setting her money on fire for 14 hours straight. I converted that same time into three new features. That's pure alpha. What'd you do on the plan, Randy? I actually, funny enough, here, I'll put this up for the people at home. Here's a look at the world. So yeah, this is Saigon down here, Richmond City, and this is New York. So, yeah, that's, if it was New York, that is like...

It's about as far as it gets, yeah. Other side of the world. Damn, I'm straight up just breaking that up. Catch me stopping in Russia. I actually famously did do a lot of work on the, on the, flame back. I was pretty much editing a lot of videos and photos. Do you have internet?

Yeah, but I mean all the stuff I was just doing on my phone. Yeah, yeah. So, but I was like, I'm, I had this time and I'm like, I could either sit here and like watch, listen to a podcast, but I also just have this like free time to sit here and edit these photos, might as well. There's a, there's a, an old tale about a lawyer,

a big law lawyer who built a 20, build 24 hours once on a day, once in a day, just on a flight. really that's like I don't know maybe it sounds like something that probably would have happened but just just build the entire flight so he's just up there working that's kind of sick yeah it's a lot of billables I typically just like watch movies and TV is just it but my flight was also like two hours not 30 hours I was hoping this dude raw dog did after we landed I went straight to a cafe and hosted the most active builder meetup in Saigon oh so he's a builder not a founder well no it says right here in his little description it says 24-year-old tech founder, one million views per week, three times majors, then computer science, econ, and that cuts off there. Damn. My friend asked why I don't get jet lag.

I told her rest as a legacy feature I had deprecated. Work is rest because founders are just built different. Connect with me for more useful business advice. Damn. Let's connect with him. Kynam. What's the longest flight you've ever taken? It's got to be...

Mine was 12, and it was very long. I watched four movies. I didn't do any coding whatsoever. There wasn't a direct to... We flew to Paris and then to Italy, so it was probably something to Paris. It was probably like 10 hours. I don't know. The ticket wasn't an inexpensive.

It was an asset. Yeah. That makes sense. these people are just trying to outgrind each other yeah you don't understand that life and they think that sleep is just is for the week yeah i've been saying that too actually yeah i'm surprised this guy called it sagon when it's not called that anymore he's too busy coding he doesn't have time for geopolitics i guess yeah um indochina i don't really know i do like um i want to Ho Chi men

No, fuck I need to go back and watch Ken Burns, Vietnam I'll talk to you on like three weeks when I'm done Okay Okay I think 11, 12 hours Was the flight from Or to Japan

So that was probably the longest Yeah That's a long one What were your stops along the way? Well, I'm thinking like I think from Vancouver to Japan Was 11 hours I think I flew from Japan to Milwaukee was the ones.

So on the way back, it was the longer one. I think so, yeah. It's an interesting route. They go bury up and down. Yeah, when I flew from Rome to Dallas, we came in over Greenland, which I found interesting. Did you take a peep? Did you look down there? No.

I didn't To Greenland And then over Chicago That was Yeah It was interesting Remember we were gonna acquire Greenland Mm-hmm

What happened to that? I don't know Canada is still not our 51st country The state What's going on? Yeah I don't know man It's a good question What's going on?

Yeah, he's eating good. Okay. Oh, don't use a fork? Don't know. Yeah, what are you doing? idiot. Well, he can't oh man, I guess. Maybe he's flying the craft. He's a fork to

eat away. Imagine if you're like, you got like wing sauce all of your fingers and you have to go dodge a space debris. Yeah, like an asteroid. Yeah. Dodge space debris. What if the like alarms go off and like there's another vessel out there and it's alien and they're going to have to go to metal stations? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Can they see space debris coming?

It's probably subjected and becomes space ice. Dude, catch me just installing a piss wall in the Myspace Shuttle. You just float over to it. It's crazy how fast these things go. With no atmosphere to slow them down, you know, they can just zip around at like crazy speeds. What if they're like, oh yeah, well, you guys, you guys were up there cooking wings and just having a good old time? By the way, you're going to get back to Earth. and it's been like 100 years
