wow all right we're back wow start bringing it down, dude. Really? I mean, just really. Circling Back Podcast, live from the Lodge in Austin, Texas. My name is Brett Merriman. To my right, David Ruff. Hey, Brett. I don't know.

Man, you really brought it down quick, too. Just a hell of a fade out. We got Brett on the board today for the first time. We kind of threw Brett into the captain's chair of the pod. Will's on vacation, so Brett, big game, has got the middle seat. He's working the ones and twos. He's running point today. He's on the lappy. He's got a Celsius energy drink, which I guess it's better than a bang.

Better than a bang. Better than a Red Bull. Yeah, this is my attempt to live healthier, David. This has no – you know what? It does have taurine in it so i'm gonna go fuck myself there you go is taurine the issue it could be i think it's the uh the multitude of like other things in there but uh it just looks the can itself i have no i've not tried celsius but it just looks chemically yeah it's in you know in the the grocery stores now

they have like the two sections of energy drinks. There's like the healthy one. Yeah. And then there's the regular like Red Bull Monster one. This is in the healthy one. Okay. I'm going to go, no preservatives. Great in-store marketing for them.

No sugar. Okay. And nothing besides biotin, which has 3,000% of the recommended field value. That's huge for your hair and nail. Yeah. 3,000%? Yeah, 3,000%. So you're good for the next 30 days on biotin?

Theoretically, yeah. That's what it's... Yeah. Okay, wow. Or more than that. Sounds like the next 3,000 days. Sounds like maybe the next 300 days. The math is there somewhere, but I don't feel like getting into it.

Who's your favorite hitter who hit 3,000 hits, Dylan? Bottom line is you're good on biotin for a minute. Yeah. My favorite 3,000-hit guy? Yeah. Oh, man. Tony Gwynn? No, I don't know.

That's a good one. I did love watching Tony Gwynn play. Dude, was he the closest to hitting 400, I think, of the last, like, our lifetime? Probably. I think he has. John Olerud. No, it wasn't John Olerud. I think he has, like, the highest career batting average of anyone

over the past, like, 75-ish years or something ridiculous. I don't know. A stud. This is a list. The 3,000-hit club is a list of pretty likable players and some pretty unlikable players mine of course is belts adrian beltray but i mean you also have pete rose i don't know what side you fall on 4 000 hits yeah uh stan musial musial excuse me even though he was a cardinal i've always i feel like my grandpa was a big stan guy, and I always thought he was tiny.

I had one of his old cards. It was like a print, but still. Roberto Clemente? He's a star. Great. Ralphie Palmero? Yeah, I knew he was 3,000. Homer, Ranger.

Really? Dude, he was doing it for a long time. Smooth swing on that dude. I figured he might have been a strikeout or home run guy, though. No, no. Wade Boggs. So he put, no. Wade Boggs. So he put up numbers. Wade Boggs.

Well, yeah, he used to slap it around the yard. Eddie Murray. Oh, yeah, Eddie Murray, man. He was a great stratomatic guy. Ricky Henderson. These are all fun. These are all like – Ricky Henderson was the most fun to watch in my youth.

Is the 3,000-hit club an auto Hall of Fame bid for you? No. Okay. No, it's not. Especially if you potentially lied to Congress about steroid use. Even though I generally don't care about it, it's just not going to help your case

with the baseball writers, the voters. There are some writers that still, they're just hung up on that thing. They're never voting in. Yeah, Palmeiro's not getting in. When we talked about the McGuire-Sosa situation, Dave asked me if they belong in the hall. I said no. Oh, you're the baseball writer.

I just, if you knowingly cheated that badly, you don't deserve it. I'm sorry. Okay. I mean, I hear your point. That's just my opinion. It doesn't mean much, obviously, but it's mine. We know it's yours.

You're the one who just said it. You didn't have to double down on that. Baseball. Baseball's back. At least for now. It's not. Well, more on that later. It's about to go away again. Soball's back, at least for now. It's not. Well, more on that later. It's about to go away again.

So who's programming notes? Is that me or you, Dave? Programming notes? I got some programming notes. Are you fucking kidding me? Dude, I'll do the programming notes. No. All right, you give me yours.

I bet mine are totally different. All right, hey, how about you follow Circling Back Pod on Instagram? We can technically round up to 10K at this point. We're past the 9,500. I don't want to round up, dude. I don't either. I want it to be legit. You want to go to round up, not round up. No, no, no, no, no, no. However, Andy liked it.

Andy, shut up. Also, we have Stream Room on Tuesdays, tomorrow. We are doing Six Underground, a movie that Dave picked. It's available on Netflix. Ryan Reynolds, some other people.

Isn't that a Tom Clancy game? Six Underground? You're thinking of Rainbow Six. Oh. Dope game, and I give you props for kind of knowing it. Same wave.

Do you want me to give you a little teaser on the plot? Hit me. Four years after witnessing the horrors of a brutal regime in the central asian nation of turkestan an unnamed american billionaire unnamed that's tight and philanthropist who made his fortunes from inventing neody neodymium magnets fakes his own death to form an anonymous vigilante squad to take down criminals and terrorists that governments will not touch. Like, the worst of the worst.

They're so bad that CIA is not going after these guys. It's too dangerous, too hot. You're not cleared to fire. Not for Ryan Reynolds and his squad. No. Not for this unnamed anonymous billionaire. What are the chances that an unnamed anonymous billionaire who's also just like a badass, you know, like covert assassin also happens to be as good looking as Ryan Reynolds?

Like, that's a combo you don't see every day. You know what I mean? It seems highly unlikely. Most billionaires aren't superhuman athletes and also supermodel hot. Here's another programming note, if you're all ready for it. Yeah, hit me with it. The happy hour, we're just not going to do it this week. Yeah.

Because Will's gone, we're shorthanded, we've got a lot of stuff happening. I've got to take a night off, bro. You want to talk about the other thing happening with maybe sports-related, Dave? Yeah, one more note on 6 Underground. On their first mission in the Italian city of Florence, that's where I'm stopping at. That's all you need to at. It ends there. That's all you need to know. Okay.

All right. Is there a situation you think where Ryan Reynolds ends up with a too much dip situation on his chip, you know, fighting? You know, I appreciate what you're going for there. Yeah, I had to think it out. You got to think it right through some conflict at some point along the way. So, yeah. Yeah, I think so.

In fact, Wikipedia actually kind of gives you the entire plot, which I just need to stop reading it because I have not seen this movie. Oh, okay. But, yeah, it looks like they might bite off a little bit more than they can chew. Or, as you alluded to, might have TMD. Too much dip. That's a lot of people are saying. Also, a new Washed Media production

a new Washed Media sports podcast featuring myself Dylan friend of the show KJ Micah and Micah

I think you're gonna like it. We haveuchDipPodcast on Instagram. Give us a follow. I think you're going to like it. We have recorded an episode. It went well.

It went better than expected. Chemistry is there. The humor is there. The knowledge is there. That was the first time ever recording with KJ. Legitimately. Just sat down. KJ has been on the live stream a couple times. We knew he was a broadcast professional.

He does podcasting. Also brings his own microphone to the studio. Him and Micah both bring your own mic to the studio, guys. I don't know what to think about that. B-Y-O-M. B-Y-O-M. Check it out. You're going to like it.

It should drop this week if Apple wants to play ball. I don't know why they wouldn't. It feels like um they should but now what is what's what what are you getting with a too much dip podcast you we've we've said sports pod yeah we that we talk sports but with a watch media flair to it i mean we're not your x's and o's podcast look we all know that there's been a severe shortage of sports podcasts no one is doing those we talk about the fun stuff around sports not necessarily i mean we do talk like actual game shit you know so like covid and

i'm breaking down your scheme whether you like it or not like when the you know when when 14 guys on the marlins test positive for covid we're going to talk about it and we're going to probably make fun of some shit so you're not afraid to go there? Has anybody used this yet? We have too much dip on our chip is what I'm saying. Has anybody used this yet? We're not sticking to sports. Wow. Whoa.

Can we trademark that? I'm just saying. You guys think we're going to come in here and just talk sports? You're wrong. And if that's what you're looking for, just some pure sports takes, this ain't it for you, and that's fine. Bye. Was that George Bush?

No, that was the dude from Tombstone. You will leave the pod informed, though. We're going to inform you on some shit. Yeah, and you know we got Micah, so he's there to fact check us. And to be super controversial, too. Oh, yeah. Comes out of the gate hot in this last pod. Interrupted me multiple times.

Just a guy who doesn't care. A lot of people are hot. Yeah. This last pod. Interrupted me multiple times. Just the guy doesn't care. A lot of people are excited about Micah's return to content. Well, he's been doing Mind of Micah. Watch media content, I should say. I saw some people excited for it. Of course, he's a very polarizing figure, so there are going to be some haters. But, you know, they're welcome, too. Any word on, is he bringing back the power plant?

Well, just got to keep some stuff in the hopper, some surprises. Just sit back and wait, dog. Man, it's almost like I didn't know this was happening. This is crazy. I probably should get out and start selling this podcast. You didn't know we were doing a podcast. You've really styled your hair today. I didn't do anything. It looks very feathered.

It looks... You know, this is the absence of style. Dude, it looks very early 80s. Flock of seagulls? Have you seen... Yeah, it's just very feathered and combed over. Have you seen the hairstyle that these high school hot boy TikTok guys are doing?

Yeah. What the fuck is that? No. Well, I probably have. It's probably like Brett's length. Shout out to all the high school hot boys. Shots to the hot boys. But they brush it forward, and it's feathered, but it's coming at you.

It's really weird. It's not cool, man. These kids are fucking stupid. High school hot boys. Someone put this really cringy lip-biting TikTok on my TL the other day, and it was about five guys looking exactly like what I just described. Like they are biting their lip? Yeah, super uncomfortable.

I don't get it. That's the thing, Dylan. We're on TikTok now, I think, at Circling Back Pod. We have a TikTok? Yeah, and we're going to have to start doing stuff like that. I hate to break it to you. I won't be biting my lip on camera for anybody. We can let Randy do it. Randy's the youngest, isn't didn't he or no he's older than you yeah he's older than

me technically by like a year how's it feel yeah yeah i think it's a year anyway the hairstyle it's bad like just bad i have to agree with you i've seen i was on tiktok a lot this weekend um i've been uh i've been exposed to TikTok. And pretty much everybody who has more than 100,000 followers has that hairstyle. Yeah. It's sad. Yeah. That kid that your former boss, Portnoy, interviewed, I don't know his name.

He caught up in some weird TikTok controversy. I like the model where they have a house and they just put in like 30 tiktokers man imagine the conversation in that house like off camera like what do they talk about probably their portfolios of stocks or staunch how many how many times a day they say bro in that house a couple million they hit him with a shocker anyway i'm trying to find this tiktok haircut and i'm i'm i have an idea in my mind if you go uh e-boys is what they're called e-boys e-boys yeah well that's not a good what is an e-boy you'll know when you see it hopefully boy haircut oh that's an e-boy it's it's it's Involves that the hair is longer in length, usually falling around the ear.

The hairstyle is parted down the middle with certain curtain bangs. Framing either side of the face, the e-boy cut can be worn on men with all hair textures from straight to curly. How about that? Didn't know that. Oh, so, okay. This looks like when you would go to Supercuts and get your hair cut in the early 90s. You know the big-ass pictures on the wall that are supposed to be cool, trendy, modern haircuts?

It's now e-boy cuts. It's the e-boy cut. E-boy swag is what I like to call it. And those were normally on the beautiful babies, the ladies. You think the handle e-boy swag is available for my... What do you call them? Gamertag? Was until I nabbed it.

You maybe try the domain name. eboyswag.com? I don't think I want to do that. I was more of an e-bombs world guy. You're e-bombs world? I sure do. Everyone remembers e-bombs world. Is that still around?

Addictinggames.com? I don't think so. Internet. What did you do this weekend, Dylan uh what did i do this weekend not a whole lot uh you know still doing the uh planet safe quarantine the homie and i did get a swim off yesterday which was tight did you run to the pool uh we no okay it was a uh not a great weather day a little bit of rain we drove and it rained on us water at the pool but we want to get a swim in the homie is doing great swimming by the way nice just killing it that's tight is he is he uh nope doesn't need it no doesn't need it good for

him man what about you what'd you do well i i uh i kind of hung in and did nothing, honestly. I watched a lot of golf this weekend. Terrible tournament. Hazeltine wasn't doing much for me. The 3N doesn't do much for me. I need some names. Tony Finau and Matt Wolfe. Michael Thompson didn't do it for you. Tony Finau does not close.

He can't close. It's becoming a problem. His scoring average in the fourth round is 170-something on tour. Dude, you should not – I was texting with Dan. What's the dude's name? Michael Thompson? Yeah. You can't get back down by Michael Thompson.

No. Dan and I were just like up in arms over it. Because I don't think he bet Tony, but we both like him. I really like him. I'm like, yeah, this dude's going to – great player. He's great on the Ryder Cup or the President's Cup, whatever it was. You can't – he just got dominated by Michael Thompson. Yeah.

That dude was a shark, though. Thompson? Yes. The Tommy gun? How about Charles Schwartzel rocking the, speaking of the shark, straw hat? Yeah. Also, speaking of the shark, Parks and I watched The Meg last night. I forgot to mention that.

Awesomely bad. Now, that's an extinct creature, correct? The Megalodon, yeah. Prehistoric shark. That ended up not being extinct. Well, they discovered it underneath this layer of ice underneath the Marianas Trench. There's no ice in the Marianas Trench.

It's almost equatorial it's almost what? equatorial I don't know how scientifically accurate the movie is but that was the situation in the movie but underneath there's this barrier like more ocean life down there that we didn't previously know about

and the mag was down there just lurking so did somebody get got early on is that what happened lots of people get got including dwight shrewd spoiler alert yeah he's oh no so he's doing those kind of movies now yeah what's your favorite uh but it's not like a sharknado type of bad okay it's somewhat serious but it's it's very corny like battleship with rihanna never saw that you know the giant spider crab as well as the Atlantic wolffish

as well as the fangtooth fish all live in the Mariana Trench. I will have to step away for one sec. The homie needs to go potty. That'll do it. Holy shit. Do not look up the fangtooth. It is one of the more...

If this is even real, I could be getting fooled here. Where is the Mariana Trench? Is that the one in Central America? You're off the coast? I'm going to do this. It's in the Pacific. It's in the Ring of Fire area.

Okay, that's really good. Close to Japan, but not necessarily near Japan. That's my guess. Okay. I'm going to have to rephrase that. Close to Japan, but not necessarily on the coast of Japan. Brett, I got news for you. It's located in the western Pacific Ocean, about 200 kilometers east of the Mariana Islands.

Does that help? I think it might. I think we're getting there, yeah. Yeah, this fang-toothed fish will fuck your day up, Dave. You want to talk about my weekend? Yeah, what did you do? Not much. No.

We went over to a friend's place a couple nights and went to a dog's party. Randy got to see his friend Barb. Dog named Barb? Barbara. Okay. They call her Barb. I like that. She's a red fox lab.

I believe that's the name. It's like a lab interbred with a red fox. No, she's just red and she hunts. She's a red fox lab. I believe that's the name. It's like a lab interbred with a red fox. No, she's just red and she hunts. She's a bird dog. That's tight. Yeah. Randy and her just go at it for three hours nonstop. No resting.

Randy tries to rest. She pesters him, gets him back in the game. He tries to hump her. She tries to hump him. It's just really a give and take. Yeah, who won? She's more athletic she is she's she's a little bit more athletic and she's like a year younger more he holds his own okay randy's also he doesn't you know he's not taking it too seriously he's he knows it's an

exhibition i see yeah a sanctioned event he doesn't take life too serious i like that oh man he's just kind of him dude mariana trench whatever mariano trench mariana yeah rivera trench that's a that's a river um but yeah i we did uh we did hop over by lake austin this weekend and we did a little hike and we got uh takeout from the ski shores cafe still to try it. We didn't eat there, but the vibe is unbelievable. It's Wilmot's. I was shocked that nobody's ever told me about it. That's high price. What's their takeout, Sid?

Just like burgers? Like bar food, seafood. Good bar food, seafood? Yeah, exactly. Fish taco? Fried shrimp basket. They have fish tacos. Okay.

That sounds fantastic. I mean, it's one of those places you're not getting silverware, but you're getting in a Styrofoam cup type of thing where they serve the queso. I like that a lot. Yeah. We picked up Matt's El Rancho Saturday night. Never heard of it. Mm-hmm.

It was good. Traveled well. Ooh, in my experience, it doesn't travel well. Yeah, it was fajitas, though. Now, you're losing the sizzle, the obvious sizzle. Right. But it was fine. We were just, you know, we weren't doing much outdoors due to Hurricane Hannah.

Yeah. Which made landfall sometime Saturday just south of Corpus Christi. Rolled in. Where you could find someone working the rigs from 3 to midnight if you're not careful. I feel like that's a country music reference that went over my head.

Yeah, so made landfall, gave us some bands of rain throughout the day. We didn't get much in Austin. I think people were looking for more. Central Texas, we definitely need it. We're flirting with drought. I think we're in the day. We didn't get much in Austin. I think people were looking for more. Central Texas, we definitely need it. We're flirting with drought. I think we're in the yellow. I don't know.

We probably got three-quarters of an inch at my house. But some good old-fashioned just tropical piss. That was my first experience with tropical piss bands. Isn't it weird? Yeah, it comes in quick. I know that all moisture comes from the Gulf in this, this area, like, you know, predominantly, but it's still weird. And as a little kid, I was always so fascinated when like a tropical system would, you know, make landfall and we would

be getting the bands. And I'd be like, dude, I was just watching that on a radar. That thing was like, you know, 600 miles away. Sure. A couple of days ago. Then comes and gets you. And now it's over me. Yeah. We did get some sick wind. We had some sick wind, too. It did get windy for a good couple minutes there at one point. I really only think we got one or two bands, but we got an overnight one.

Yeah. Did we get one last night? No. We didn't. Okay. I think we're done. It was Saturday night. We got a pretty good overnight one come in,

and I know that because usually the rain hits my window and kind of pitter-patter, but the rain was coming in sideways and smack in my window. Damn, Paul Wall style. Yeah. Randy didn't get that one. Randy, nobody cares. Randy, shut up.

Off-mic Randy over there. It is. Yeah, it's interesting staring. I've never been in this seat, Dave, so I staring at randy the whole time and it's uh intimidating so anyway that was kind of the story about dylan yeah getting back from that sam barcus sorry folks oh what's up man you know where's the mariana trench it's in the ocean i don't know i don't know where uh between it's uh what like the south atlantic uh no i don't know where is it western pacific oh wouldn't go and close then west pack is what i call it that's uh west of mopac right right yeah very exclusive area

you know we didn't didn't even put on the run sheet, but it's apparently happening? What? And we can table this, but Rogan is moving to Texas. You got to think it's Austin, right? He's not said. Has to be Austin. I would think it's Austin. He has connects here.

He's buddies with the Onnit. You know, he's got used to or does have some equity or some shares of on it and he's i think he's a co-founder of it or something he's still in the advertisements for it but on it's based out of austin uh also his buddy aubrey marcus who used to be the ceo tim kennedy um tk mma zone retired mma fighter tim kenn lives here. I just feel like Austin is the move for him. I can't see him doing Dallas or Houston, or San Antonio for that matter. There's no reason for him to go to Houston.

He's not an oil tycoon in his spare time, is he? No, he's not. Okay. Yeah, I think Austin's the only move for Joe. I think it is. He's saying he wants more freedom, which, okay. All right. Well, I mean, i hope he's looked into

our our weed laws he's a big weed guy i hope he likes buying weed on the uh the telegram app some dude will never actually meet in person i've heard that a lot of people do that we're waiting till your buddy goes to colorado for a boy's trip trip and have him smuggle some animals back for you. Heard that happens a lot too. I did that once. Yeah. I've done it many times. Sick. Dude, imagine being Rogan's weed guy in Austin.

It's going to be quite lucrative. Sure. Yeah, I think so. I'm trying to think of how that financial scenario works. But yeah, you'd think so. I'm trying to think of how that financial scenario works. But yeah, you'd think so. I'm trying to segue into an ad read. I don't know how. Oh, okay.

I shared a table with that then. No, it's okay. You don't have to. This is a new sponsor. It's a new sponsor. Usually there's an alert before we hop into these. New sponsor alert. Cuts.

I'm excited about this sponsor here, Dave. Cuts Clothing. Randy's got one on right now. He looks okay in it. the thing just kidding he looks great yeah might look better on you but i've noticed a lot of issues with t-shirts hit me a lot of them shrinkage yep bacon neck you know about bacon neck sure do color fade a lot of, parachute fit. That's the one that gets me. But every classic deserves a modern take. And that's where Cuts Clothing comes in and has changed the game. Here's the thing, Dave. Their t-shirt's got enough quality and style to wear in the office on a date anywhere in between.

And they're soft as F. Crap. Yeah. They're very soft. So now you don't have to choose between a classic look and a modern feel. In 2016, Brett, Stephen Borelli was struggling to find the perfect T-shirt. He wanted something that had enough quality to be worn professionally at work, yet also enough style for a night out.

We're all looking for that. The result was a product you could be proud to wear anytime, anywhere, without sacrificing comfort, fit, fabric, and function. The only shirt worth wearing. Athletic, tailored-looking fits. It's perfect for work, a date, everything in between. What's even in between those things? Just hanging out?

You can hang out at the mall. This is one of those brands that's so cool that I don't know if I'm cool enough to wear them. If Randy's wearing it, you're fine. That's a good point. You're at least as cool as Randy. That's a great point, David. Thank you. Have you put it on yet? Have you put the cuts on yet? Yes, I have. Look, I look fire. That's not what I'm saying here.

Okay. I didn't know where you were going with that, but I figured you would rock these things. They have the Steve Jobs advantage, Dylan. You know that? No. It's the stop spending so much time and energy picking out clothes in the morning. You already know what you're going to wear. So you should just have an entire closet full of cuts.

Yeah, that's what they're saying. You just throw new cuts on each day. Throw on a cut shirt, some pants, get on with your day. You'll be ready for anything. Catch me in the cuts. I like the PYCA polo. The pica? The pica. It's like no other polo you've ever worn. it's pretty solid i've been looking to mix in some polos kind of i mean i've got a lot but just kind of wanted to you know

throw in a new a curveball you know just keep my closet guessing and uh the pike is huge not literally but like it's a game changer for my closet is what i'm saying i agree here's how you get yours 15 off your first order by going cutsclothing.com slash steam. That's cutsclothing.com slash steam

for 15% off the only shirt worth wearing loved by your favorite athletes, entrepreneurs, and even podcast hosts. Everybody's wearing

cuts these days. Happen to have them on board. You know who's not wearing cuts? Oh, who? The 14 Florida Marlins with coronavirus. Right.

Right. That's tough. That's tough. We're going to go right into sports. And Dan, actually, Dan gets a lot of play on here, just texted me this as if I hadn't seen it. Like, come on, Dan. Do you know what I do for a living?

You see that story on Twitter this morning yet, Dave? Yeah, this isn't good. It's 14 players, right, and coaches? At least. Yeah, it's going to be more. The last headline I saw said at least 14. This is terrible news. This is tough.

This is the first domino of the season just being called, unfortunately. They don't have the bubble. No bubble, no season. that's how i look at it nba has been fine nhl i think is going to happen because i mean as far as i understand it after their their ball games they can go home and do what they please go out to dinners and hang out with their family and friends if they want to, correct? Yeah. Unlike the NBA players who are restricted to the bubble. Did they not think the bubble was a good idea? Why didn't they bubble the major league?

I think logistically it's impossible. But why? Because I think you have a lot more players and a lot more personnel around a team. Yeah. You have, what, 30 guys on a roster and then? Yeah. Position coaches, pitching, 30 guys on a roster and then – Yeah. Position coaches, pitching coaches, batting coaches.

I mean, you could cut that number down. I just – it's like the same reason like the NFL legitimately can't do a bubble. I saw one person – I bet they could if they had like more time to plan it. But they couldn't throw together a bubble like the NBA. That's fair. All the staff. I mean, the personnel and staff that go along with the football team,

it's a huge number. That's a lot of folks. Let me ask you this. Do we know anybody who might be interested in, I don't know, trying out for the Marlins, Dylan? Hearing the Marlins are out there, per John Heyman, looking for extra MLB-quality players. Now, I don't know if you're MLB-quality, but you're close.

Obviously, they have a lot of concerns, but one of them is fielding a representative team, so they're going to try to get replacements. I guess they're not going to just try to forfeit all these games. I don't know how. This just isn't going to happen. There's not going to be a season in a week. No chance.

Spending time on this is like don't even go through the tryouts. Just call it. I'm fine with calling it. I mean, they played the Phillies last week, and they already canceled the Phillies game against the Yankees tonight. And so it's just going to be one of those viral effects. I don't want to be pessimistic. I know I am being that, but I just don't have faith that this is going to work.

I never really thought. I never thought the NFL was going to work. I am very confident the season will be cold at some point in the next month. Did you see the Pirates manager when he was getting tossed and got into – like the first thing that they do is throw their masks on and walk out. That was – at least they're trying. I just – I hope for the bubble's sake that the – That was – at least they're trying.

I just – I hope for the bubble's sake that the NBA, the NWSL, and the MLS I think are down to zero cases. Good for them, but if you can't bubble, you're just not going to have a – you can't have a season. There's just too many variables. Yeah. So I'm rooting for the nhl well and like keep in mind again this is baseball like significantly less close quarters for the most part i just don't nfl you know you're you're legitimately uh in a guy's jock for

i can't believe ncaa football hasn't been called yet i mean nfl you you would expect to be after that like the you know the hold on for a little bit longer but the idea of actually continuing hasn't been called yet. In the NFL, you would expect to be after that. They'll hold on for a little bit longer. But the idea of actually continuing on with the season. This sucks, even though I think the Rangers, their lineup is trash. I have enjoyed watching baseball. Their lineup really is not very good.

No, there's a lot of like, wait, who? It's funny when you have the Yankees and Dodgers play then and you're like, oh every every person on that team could be an all-star yeah and then you spend lots of money yeah yeah this is it sucks man it sucks because uh in a year like this sports is gonna help you know people get through but uh it's just not looking not looking positive right now well 14 players 14 players. 14 players. Well, okay. You're right. Wow.

But they canceled their home opener. I'm sad, man. It sucks, dog. I'm sad. Blue Jays are playing in Buffalo. Shouts. Yeah, the Buffalo Blue Jays. Have you ever been to a minor league game up there?

I have. Solon Stadium. The Buffalo Bison. Normally. Great logo. Great hat the Buffalo Blue Jays. Have you ever been to a minor league game up there? I have. Solon Stadium. The Buffalo Bison, normally. Great logo. Great hat. If I remember correctly. Great field, honestly. It's right downtown.

Just down the street from the... Downtown Buffalo's coming back. They call it the Padula Billion. They put in the Buffalo waterfront and surrounding areas. Oh, really? Yeah, a lot of development. Is that a lucrative deal for the city? You've got to think there was some sort of incentive for the Padulas to do that, whether

it be tax or otherwise. Yeah. But downtown Buffalo, listen, is an awesome spot. Chippewa Street. You're a Western New York guy, Dave. I don't need to be telling you. Yeah, these are all my old hotspots, man. I used to hit these on the reg.

But yeah, well, it's for the they were supposed to open up against the Marlins in in Buffalo. So their home opener is delayed again, I would imagine. Yeah, this. This really bums me out. I just like we've said it like 10 times, but we saw it right before we started recording, and I just don't. I am very, I am bearish. Is bearish the word, Brett, on this is actually working out for us? I think bearish works in that context, yeah. Okay. I mean, this, whilst, you know, the other things.

Please don't say whilst. It's whilst? Just don't use the word. Why? It's like the most pretentious word in the English language. Is it because the S and the T at the end makes it a little bit unstable? When you can just use a very common word, while, to replace it. It's not – man, people who use that word, I just don't like them.

What I was trying to say is all this going on the nfl is trying to get off the ground it just doesn't bode well long term oh yeah baseball is going to be done nfl is not going to happen y'all just sit back and get ready for the for the holidays that's the next like that's the next thing coming there's a look forward to they're going to cancel the holidays? Holy shit, I haven't even thought about canceling Thanksgiving. You're going to have, like, that's the ultimate, like, hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa. That's a super spread event. It is super spread.

You know about those. You can't keep people from linking with their families. No, we saw what happened at Memorial Day and Fourth of July. We'll continue on with golf. You definitely cannot. Because, obviously, it's an individual sport, and if you test positive, it's so easy just to not go to the tournament. Or they'll let you play by yourself.

Yeah. Golf, we'll have golf. Golf is – We have that to look forward to because we have a major stack. I'm pretty pumped to see more Michael Thompson. Yeah. MT is going to – Yeah.

Out there dominating. Mikey T, as I call him here's the thing with golf is even botching it you can't watch a tournament 75% of the weekend unless you're PGA tour live in it buddy that was tough yesterday like what are they doing I I legit I I got up I knew they moved the tee times for weather I flipped it on and um golf golf channel was looking for some pre-game or maybe just maybe they're even showing some footage no it was soccer it's premier league it was premier league on the golf channel in the middle of it and whilst a tournament was happening dude i can't believe all that whilst it was going down what were you doing whilst golf was on on sunday morning dylan i don't want to answer that question.

That's a word I don't know that up until today I've ever actually said. I've read it and said it in my head. I don't know if I've ever put that words out of my mouth. People use it on Twitter thinking they're being funny and smart, and you're not. It would be a real shame if people started tweeting Dylan using it correctly and incorrectly. The block button is ready to go i got an itchy trigger finger with the block button just come at me come correct micah style oh wow i'm ready for the block button hey speaking of

marlins and sports check out too much dip well we probably we'll probably get more into it. Deeper. We'll get deeper into it. You got to think that. I got a feeling that we're going to be talking about a significantly larger problem. We're recording, what, Wednesday this week? Yeah. Yeah.

Look for us normally on Mondays, but again, Apple, there's something controversial, and Apple's like, we got to run it by powers that be to see if we can even publish this this content is so hot yeah fire logo too great logo shout out Alfonso shout out to Alfonso you listen to folklore yet sure did this Taylor

album dude when it came out I I turned the TV off switch the back light to bright red turned all the lights off and just let that thing bump on the jbl did you cry yeah i did yeah i did it got me it's a tight album reviews are good it's very it's a very good album it really is man here's the thing it's not meant to be blasted. Yeah, that's my issue with it. You want anthems? I want bangers.

I want 1989 again. And I know that that's asking a lot. That's a very, very high bar, she said. That being said, I acknowledge that this is good. It's just not something that I'm going to put on very often. That's fair. It puts me in a weird mood. I think that's the point of it. And that's great.

Maybe she's growing as an artist. Probably is. Fantastic. But this is one piece of art of hers that I probably won't be bumping very often. What are you going to do? Agree or disagree? Yeah. I think it's very, very good, and I listened to it quite a bit over the weekend.

Even I went on a run. I was doing my run, not really exercise-friendly music, but I did it anyway. Yeah, are you trying to lower your T while you work out? What's going on here? I played by my own rules, Dave. I did it. You like to challenge your body? Yeah.

Let's get it going despite this very sad, melodic. If you take your T, you have only one place to go, and it's up. That's fair. Fair. What song are you vibing to? I really like The One, which is the first one. August is great. Cardigan's a good one, of course.

What's the one with Bon Iver? Which one's that? I forgot the name of that one. That's Exile. Ex one with Bon Iver? Which one's that? I forgot the name of that one. That's Exile. Exile with Bon Iver. Is it Death or Exile? Is that how it goes? Exile by Death.

That's Dark Knight. I thought you were doing Monty Python for a sec. No, no. I was like, that is a real turn of events here. Exile is taught with Bon Iver, Dave. Okay. Is it really Bon Iver? Yeah.

I honestly have said Bon Iver all these years. That's fine. I've seen Bon Iver. Bon Iver. He's very famous. Yeah, just. He does himself a Kanye. He's got his hands in a lot of different things that you wouldn't realize.

Really? Yeah, he's just a jack-of-all-trades. Kind of like the Randy of the music world. Yeah. Painting. Yeah, Randy, your story was... Doing tech. His story was popping yesterday.

That's why I'm saying Randy's got to get on TikTok. Those would have been some talks that would have gone by. Yeah, missed opportunity, bro. What are you doing? He wants the keys. Well, we just found out we had the vehicle don't i i didn't know we had a tiktok i knew will did yeah we have we definitely have a tiktok i don't think anything's on it besides maybe kevin's tiktoks that we ripped from him let's not fill it with randy content up up front let's let's let's play this the right way i don't think we want Randy on there.

No offense. Do you subscribe, Dylan, to the conspiracy theories on the Taylor Swift album? I haven't heard these. Hit me. I guess they're not conspiracy theories. It's like the song Betty, which people seem to be a big fan of, has Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's children in it. And that the... What?

Something about the names. I don't know. And there's three songs, Betty, Cardigan, and August, that are from the perspectives of a love triangle, each person in a love triangle. You have to dig in. I haven't heard any of this. I need to school myself.

Wait, what does Ryan Reynolds' kids have to do with it? I'm confused. I think that she's just shouting them need to school myself. Wait, what does Ryan Reynolds' kids have to do with it? I'm confused. I think that she's just shouting them out in a song. Oh, okay. And then there's a, in one of the songs, in one of the lyric videos, she says, something's to the east and clowns to the west, and west is capitalized. A Steve Miller band.

West is capitalized. As in? As in Kanye. Kanye. You've got to read into it. They have a history, so it makes sense. They do. Interesting.

I'm going to let you finish. That's what he said. Well, now I've got to listen to it. Where are you going to listen to those? How are you going to listen to that, Dave? Probably Spotify? In your Raycons, I think. Oh, on my Raycon. Yeah, absolutely. you gonna listen to those how are you gonna listen to that dude probably spotify no it was in your raycons i think oh on my raycon yeah absolutely that sorry i was like wait what platform are we pushing yeah no dude i break on all day whether you're working from home or working on your

They are my official exercise earbuds. You putting that on this podcast? I'm telling you, man. Every time I hit the streets running, which I do four times a week, I'm jamming out to my Raycons every damn time.

Did either of you guys catch any of the dmx versus snoop

battle man i've been out on all these battles that a lot of people are talking about them i don't really it was it was pretty fun they were in the same room and just and snoop stole the show as he often does but he was just getting down i mean i got love for dmX. DMX has put on some weight. His beer belly is substantial. I saw, I saw. But Snoop was a mainstay in the Walkman growing up. There was a time when DMX was like the most cut dude on earth. You remember like shirt off DMX? He was just no body fat.

Not really. Okay. Well, just take my word for it. Snoop Dogg. 90s Snoop. Come on. Doggy style? One 90s Snoop. Come on. Doggy style? One of the best albums ever. Right.

Oh. It's called Doggy Style. Got it. 1993? Because Snoop Dogg, you get it? What a year he had. Well, he's Snoop Lion to me, Dylan. No, he's not.

I've always been more of a no-limit Snoop guy. He's not Snoop Lion to anybody. Did you have your friend that could do the whistle to Drop It Like It's Hot? No. That's too bad. I somehow got through life without having that friend. Drop It Like It's Hot, that's when his music started going the other way for me. What do you mean the other way?

He was past his prime. Drop It Like It's Hot is not a good song. Okay. What about Beautiful? Pharrell? Beautiful. It was a great video. I like his old school, like Gin and Juice.

Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's obviously his peak. Sleep on the Dogfather. Dogfather had some heat on it, too. Is Gin and Juice the one where he's sipping gin whilst sipping juice? Stop! I think he mixed them together, so probably not. It's not a chaser of juice.

But I guess with Snoop, for me, Dropping Like It's Hot is the first Snoop song I know. I mean, I know Jim Hicks. Yeah, you're a child. I get it. But his early mid-90s stuff was heat. Big time heat. It went hard.

It was like hard gangster rap. Man. It was before my time, I guess. Under this soft shit you see these days. The thing I heard about the DMX. Don't talk to me about soft, Mr. Working Out to Whatever That Album Is, Taylor. Folklore. Folklore.

Does it even have like a folk? Is it folky at all? You could argue that it's folky. I mean, people said that. I wish she would just have gone full bluegrass, got back to her roots. Yeah. I mean, some are saying that Betty does sound like, you know, Red, which some people would say is the last album of old school Taylor. I wasn't really a fan of Country Taylor. saying that that betty does sound like you know red which which some people would say his last

album of old school taylor wasn't really a fan of country taylor yeah i pop taylor though oh look out dude i didn't hate her last album one with the snake all the weird the snake imagery stuff was kind of corny it was a lot corny let's be honest but i liked some of the songs she had that song with uh who's the redheaded ed sheeran yeah and future weirdly it's not a bad song you but you would think you put those three together it's going to be a clash of styles while there is a little bit of that it actually isn't terrible huh i'm gonna have to i'm gonna have to go check that one out my taylor knowledge runs deep yeah shoot it does man is that lover is the album you're talking about? Lover? No.

The one before that. I think it's after that. I don't know. It doesn't matter. Just know that it's the one with the fucking snake that's all scary looking. It's like, get out of here with that. I was going to do Darden or Snake Dave. I'm going to table that. But did you see the DMX battle with Snoop?

The thing about it was DMX got tired. Yeah, because he is significantly out of shape. He got tired? He just got tired, dog. He's like, no. Well, he's basically doing a concert. He's performing his greatest songs, and he didn't have the cardio. You've got to think DMX hasn't gone for a run or hit a treadmill or a stair stepper in decades.

He's had some hard times. We're pulling for him. That weird thing where he drove through a fence at an airport or something. I don't know what the fuck. It's just one of those things where you're like, oh, man, I hope he figures it out because he's an icon of hip hop. Yeah, I feel like if you drive through a fence at an airport, you're automatically like. Something's gone wrong. You shouldn't even be in the position to do that like you've gone through like the the service entry or something like you know like you'd make a wrong

turn or your blue or your uh you know your ways app tells you the wrong way to go and you end up like going in some back way and you're like i shouldn't be here you just drive into a fence there's usually multiple signs that are like red with, do not cross this line or else you will be shot. Usually you have to just jump off the dumpster over the fence and land. That's what they do in GTA anyway. Yeah. Oh, he was arrested at JFK for impersonating an FBI agent. You got to think because he's DMX, that's not going to work, Dave.

Sir, you're not an 8-year DMmx why would you try and pull that move like sir it's dark and hell is hot we know we know who you are yeah i don't know man that sounds like a panic move have you ever impersonated an fbi agent i can't say that i have like out at the bar trying to impress girls like i'm in the fbi just flash the badge and you're like female body inspector dude remember that you had that shirt i think he was fbi shirt dude the guy who's gun discharged on the dance floor in uh denver yeah was he fbi i think he was he was law enforcement he was hitting some sick ass uh like um what do you call it when you spin on the floor? The windmill?

One-two step? No. I think it was the windmill. Break dance. He was doing, like, a break dance move or something. He was killing it. And his gun fell out and discharged. Yeah.

I think someone caught a round in the leg or something. I do remember that story. If I ever go in that manner where I just get accidentally shot by a dude who drops his pistol that he's licensed to carry whilst he is on the ground doing the windmill or whatever it was, just, you know, bebopping. I just. Pack it up? Just, yeah, shut the company down. He went and he picks up his pistol, and then he kind of like puts his hands up like, sorry, everyone, and then he just leaves. Like, sir, you got to come back.

We got to talk this out. You just shot someone. You've seen the video of the police officer who's like talking to an elementary school or something, and he's like doing a demonstration, and he accidentally shoots himself in the thigh. Oh. Oh, I that one i mean he handles it really well he's like it's okay nobody panic it's like dude got a fucking bullet in your leg it's like you pulled a plexico yeah pretty much that's like that's an e-bombs world special that's where like that's a video that's

like 20 years old that's a 20 year old. That's a 20-year-old internet video, I feel like. Internet 1.0, where fucking anything went. Like LiveLeak stuff. Somebody who hasn't looked at LiveLeak at Grand Ex. Look at you. Yeah, folks, stay off of LiveLeak. You don't want to be online. You'll see some shit that you would like to unsee immediately.

My college roommate, shouts to Mike, would watch gun battles on LiveLeak daily. That and sea turtle videos. It was one of the two. He just had to balance it out? Mm-hmm. The shot was the LiveLeak, and then the chaser was the turtles? Yeah. He would open the window, and he would just be in his botchers, open the window outside in the Boston winter,

and throw on a coat and just sit at his desk and watch videos. So I didn't spend much time there. How many people has this guy killed? Hard to say. He's off all media, social and otherwise. Off the grid. Yeah, he went off the grid. Only person I've ever seen go 1.1 GPA his freshman semester,

or first freshman semester. Oh, we had a pledge go like.02 one year. That's not good. That's hard to do. No, he was on. It's like all Fs and a D. He was on probation. Was it like a bit?

No, he just didn't go to class. Statistically, if you're getting 50% of things right just by guessing, you should do better than that, right? You know the nightmare when you realize you sit down for class and there's like a paper due or there's a test you're not prepared for? That was like every day for him. Just every single day. He blacks out and forgets everything. He's just like, oh, shit.

Yeah. Pop quiz. Like he's just waiting to wake up. He's like, oh, this is that dream again. And it's like, no, Mr. I'm not going to say his name. Mr. Blank, where's the really, really important thing we had to do? Ah, fuck. This is real life.

Sorry, I had to be at the house at 5 a.m. this morning. Hypothetically. Did you ever actually have a pop quiz in school? Yes. Never. Of course. Never. I had a philosophy professor that when it was terrible weather, like cold and rainy, he would walk in and be like, guys, it's 52 degrees.

It's cloudy. It's drizzling. It's a great day for a quiz. So you could kind of predict when the quiz was going to be. Yeah. But it was still kind of a dick move. This guy says curriculum to the weather, huh? Yeah.

This guy just wants to talk Nietzsche when it's shitty out. Cool, man. Frederick Nietzsche? Yeah. Oh, okay. Nailed that. There you go. What's your favorite Nietzsche work, John?

I don't know how to answer that question. People are always saying this podcast has a lot of Nietzsche references. Stop saying Nietzsche. It's a famous philosopher well he's trying to trying to use it in place of niche too so or niche niche is how it's pronounced niche i'm not a fan of the word dan says niche i'm not a fan of niche full disclosure i wouldn't dan back at grand x would say niche i would always like in my head be like god he's, he's butchering that word. Turns out you can say it that way, and it's fine. Yeah, it is accepted, but whatever.

I'm a niche guy. I'm a niche guy as well. Speaking of niche, Portnoy interviewed the president. That's your old boss. Yeah, that's him. Not the president. Dave Portnoy, that is. He is the El Presidente.

Yeah, I watched this. Yeah. Interesting. Did he throw some fastballs, some curveballs? It's only interesting because Barstool Sports has got the invite from the White House. Yeah. When is ours coming in? We haven't gotten ours yet.

I'll interview Beto. You had the opportunity, Dave. You already proved that you would. He was with his son in Chick-fil-A. I'm not interviewing. I cannot do that. I have a code, man. I don't have time.

So I don't really know what to make of all this. I mean, obviously, Barstool got the opportunity because they have a young audience of voters who some haven't made up their minds. They have a very, very large platform. They have a very large platform, and they're very influential with young males especially. And so, yeah, that's why they got the invite, obviously, because you get Portnoy sitting down in front of Trump, it's going to get some people on the Trump team.

Did they eat pizza? No pizza. He FaceTimed his dad. Trump's a dude who doesn't eat pizza, right? Like, he puts off, like, doesn't listen to music, doesn't like pizza vibes. I think he'd be like a pizza for every meal type of guy. Like, chicken tenders, pizza, and a Diet Coke. Like, just firing up bagel bites at 2 in the afternoon completely sober he's sober i haven't not done that yeah

nothing wrong with it no hayden but uh yeah big platform so who they facetimed portland was dad at the end of it he was not a trump guy he goes hey he said dad he surprised him he goes uh just i'm gonna be calling you around this time to keep your phone on you goes okay didn't know why and then he had his phone he answered the phone trump staring back at him kind of crazy what do you say to him what do you say to that man i know what i'd say he said he told him you have a very a very good boy here or something like that like very bright talking about okay talking oh, okay. Talking about Dave. Not you, but his son.

Right. I wouldn't say that about Dave. It'd be weird if Dave mentioned you. If it was me, like, you have a very big dickhead here. This guy stinks. I mean, he's terrible. He didn't hit him with any hard-hitting questions,

as you can imagine, probably, but they talked Twitter and being controversial and that kind of stuff. Had to throw in the Goodell stuff. Goodell. Yeah. Yeah.

Roger. Goodell. Not Jane Goodall. Not Jane Goodall. Yeah. That would be something. I would talk Jane Goodall with anybody. Yeah.

She's got some good work on her sleeve. She saved a lot of gorillas. That's Jane Goodall, right? I think she's chimps. Chimps? Yeah. Very similar. Different.

You know they're saying the chimps have entered the Stone Age? I've heard that. You've been listening to Rogan, haven't you? No, I haven't. This is a Rogan classic. Oh, really? Yeah. What happens when they catch up to us?

That's the thought, Dylan. Likely a couple million years to go. Well, sure. Still, in historical terms, universally, Likely a couple million years to go. Well, sure. Earth will be toast by then anyway, right? Universally, that's a blink of an eye. Yeah, geologic timescale. They're using tools? Earth is about to be toast, man.

According to some scientists. I hope it's whole wheat. You know your boy's trying to get fiber. Seriously, though. Yeah, so this Portnoy thing, man. Wild. seriously though yeah so this Portnoy thing man wild that's all I'm gonna say on that

yeah I don't know what I don't know what else to really say it's interesting that at one point at Grand X and I don't mean to you know whatever

but we we were considered like on an even playing field barstool and then uh obviously grand x went one way and then barstool went the interviewing the president of the united states direction kind of wild to look back on there's another there's another universe where we somebody at tfm interviews the president i I mean, we had the Fox News in. Oh, yeah. Somebody was buddies with Jesse Waters.

Jesse Waters. He still follows me on everything for some reason. Really? Yeah. Yeah, he's a pretty insufferable douche. Yeah, he's one of the more insufferable characters I've ever watched or any content, period. Yeah.

That's all I'll say about that, though. That's okay. Anyway. Yeah, that's interesting. I mean, that though that's okay anyway uh yeah that's interesting i mean that is yeah that's tough you know you know i don't want to dance on the grave yeah that is that is yeah i didn't mean to do that either no you weren't no it's interesting you weren't to look back on the history of everything i mean how much of that was... I always think of the inflated Facebook numbers, which we know now we're suspect, but when they were just driving traffic to anything you posted,

you could see... The old Facebook algorithm. Man, and then that algorithm changed. They turned the faucet off. Turned the faucet off turned the faucet off as was as was often said directly responsible for the um canning of probably thousands of people in the media industry absolutely yeah absolutely man and i feel like what did they pay a fine they paid a fine for that that's it bullshit it is bullshit zuckerberg uh-uh i mean dude honestly like

you could trace it back to our, probably our media layoffs at Grand X. Yeah. And that, that actually like that, that's one of my worst memories of that place was having to let people go. Mainly Duda. I brought down there like six months into his deal and it wasn't the, you know, the company's fault.

Like maybe we shouldn't have hired him, but like, I'm just saying like we were banking on those numbers continuing yeah it did not work like that we you know at barstool i say we we we were lucky that we kind of didn't trust the facebook algorithm at one point it was like we knew it was gonna come crashing down it was a child the chive has gone like full anti facebook or at least they were like a year or two ago i don't know it was barstool ever in that we had a guy who um was like he was a new guy at barstool he was he was one of the higher ups and was like facebook facebook facebook and at a certain point the company in general was just like no like it's that's not the there's nobody on facebook that's like our age reading barstool and so we leaned in and

we are like the on-platform video player which helped a lot of that but the the views and engagement just didn't make sense in 2018 february of 2018 the chive published we're pulling the plug on facebook i don't know if they're still doing that we have some friends over there if you guys remember joe joe knollett jake goldman's working over there. If you guys remember Joe. Joe Nolte. Jake Goldman's working over there now too. Oh, Boosh. Of course, Boosh is there. Jake's there?

Oh, yeah, I knew that. I knew that. Yeah. So I don't know if they're fucking around with Facebook anymore. Whatever. How did we even get... Oh, Portnoy. Yeah.

Okay. Remember Zuck was going to run for president? There was a talk. There was talk about that. Let me ask you this but with the way things are going who the 2024 could potentially have all sorts of candidates on both sides it could be like bezos versus zuck both bezos bezos bezos bez? Same thing. $189 billion. I don't think he cares how people say his name. Fucking Tucker Carlson.

No. That's the word on the street. What are the Vegas odds on Tucker? I don't know. You got to think. Dan Crenshaw. That's the cool, trendy name. Is he the pirate?

That is wildly disrespectful. I'm sorry. He's lost his eye in combat. Also sorry for that. Jesus. Pirate. I knew he had the eye patch, and I knew it was a combat-related thing, and I shouldn't have made the pirate.

I mean, there's a lot to criticize him for. Trust me. That is just, I mean, ex-Navy SEAL, so you know he could beat the living piss out of you sure could maybe we can set that up he's out of houston brett he would beat the absolute fuck out of me so i will i will decline but um maybe play golf with him i would play golf with him i'd play golf with any nice that's not true i don't want to play golf with him i've got too many uh i would i would i just don't want to i don't want to play golf you know i don't want

Correct. Randy's bringing it up right now. So there are nine tiles here. First one, I'll just list them here. Whoa. We have Dave in an oversized Arby's polo. We have Crying Will, a hybrid of me and The Rock for some reason. Shirtless Micah, Battletoad Bad Boy.

Brett looking very grainy during a happy hour. of me and the rock for some reason shirtless micah battle told bad boy um brett uh looking very grainy during a happy hour sally looking very happy uh jay bone for some reason is in here then we have barrett uh lit pic barrett looking fashionable with a backwards cap on and then we have she randy is the ninth one yeah that would be yeah i don't know what we're supposed to do there. There's a lot happening here, really. A lot. So it's semi-grainy Brett. It's not the grainiest Brett we've seen.

He looks very happy, though. That's great. Like, clearly someone just said something very humorous. You've got to think that's why I'm making that face, but you also can't really see because I'm grainy. There's only three people here who don't look like they're having a good time. Will looks like he's having a terrible time. Will and Barrett look like they're well, Barrett's just like honed in.

He's zoned in. He wants to rip your heart out. Or your throat. Why does his face look so... It just looks so detailed. This is a professional shot. This is like his biopicopic not a biopic right

is a picture for his biography it's a biopic biography section of it i'm just gonna stop a lot of chest hair it's a professional shot that's what i'm trying to say you gotta pick two to defend you and the rest will attack you and i this is there's some personal bias here but this this is not that difficult for me well is it but is it me or is it me the rock it's you it's you combined with the rock how do you not take that on and not i'm not speaking highly of myself but if i'm combined with the rock like that's a man unless you have better options elsewhere dylan you don't you don't he's like you got to think that micah versus you as the rock cancels each other out me me and The Rock combo versus one Micah, that's not a competition.

This is pretty easy. You pick Jared and you pick Micah. And you have those two just bicker at each other over the dumbest things for like an hour and no one's going to attack you. You're like, dude, I'm getting the fuck out of here. It's just going to be like them. Micah's getting his identity stolen. What are you talking about?

Yeah, it's just going to be constant Jared pushing Micah's buttons. So the rest of them will attack you. That means, I mean, yeah, look at the rest of us. You do not want a guy in a very, very hilariously large Arby's polo attacking you. Let me just tell you that. I've always said that, yeah. Because that's a guy who can jump off a building and just, like, flying squirrel down.

Okay. I would just be weirded out by She-Randy coming at me. Yeah, that raises a lot of questions. Sally can't, you know, she can't harm anybody physically. No offense. No offense. Yeah. Who would you be more scared of if they were attacking you, Will or Sally?

Sally. Yeah, Sally. It's definitely Sally, right? It's definitely Sally. Yeah. Damn. Sorry, Will. Sally could hit you with a little syringe with anesthesia and put you out.

We've got a lot of mileage out of Arby's Polo Dave. Yeah, we really have. And, you know, people think that that's my kitchen. So every time that photo circulates, people find something to nitpick. I'm like, this is not my kitchen. Yeah, and it's not bad. It might be a little bit outdated, but it's a fine kitchen. It was actually a great kitchen.

Great countertops, wood floor. Do you remember how random it was that the PGA Tour was nice enough to put us up in that place? And that place was owned by a listener's parents. Whoa. Yeah. Just total coincidence. He was like, dude, that's my parents' place. I took a picture on the balcony and edited it to make it look like I was naked.

I did a blur over my bottom half. Got it. And the owners of the house saw me post it. They were like, why are you naked on my balcony? Well, I wasn't. Here's the original photo of me wearing shorts or a swimsuit or whatever it was. I forgot about that. And they asked me to take it down.

Damn. Sad day. That's a sad day. It was a hot, hot pit. Why were they so worried about you just out there hanging dong? I don't know. You weren't, but like hypothetical dong hangage. I don't know.

Rude. Maybe it was a tight house, man. What tournament was that? Players. Players. Players Championship. Players. Yeah, that was the house they got us really close to the beach.

Not bad. Yeah, it's. Yeah. It was a situation. Yeah. Can we do the real version of this meme real quick? Yeah, what do you mean? You mean when you actually fight?

What do you mean? No, the meme that's lighting the internet on fire that's picked to the like where this wash media meme origin or not originated but oh this is you toss it up i don't know what you're talking about i i don't know if i can toss it up oh you can randy can randy can i can verbally tell you give us the verbal hit it to randy and randy will throw it up for us. Randy, are you on it? Okay. Randy's on it. Randy's in the studio today. 50 eagles. Oh, I think we've done this. I think we did this on Touching Base.

We did this? Is this nine different tiles? Yeah. Again? Okay. Circling back to the debut of this verbal meme. 50 eagles. 10 gators.

Sick. Three brown bear. Not black bear. Important distinction. Three brown bear. Seven black bear. Important distinction. Three brown bear. Seven water buffalo or cattle. That's a big difference there. One hunter with a rifle.

What kind of rifle? Like a.30-06. Semi, not even semi-automatic. It's just, you got to be careful. 15 wolves. 10,000 rats. Get out of here. 10,000 rats is fucking you up.

Five gorilla. Gorillas? Gorillas. Five gorillas. It's not like deer, where you just don't use the... Beats me. Gorillas.

And four lions. Pick two. The rest... To defend you, the rest are coming to kill you. It's the rats and the hunter. Get out of here. That's such a terrible combo.

If the rats. 10,000 rats. Dude, have you ever seen a rat group of rats swarm something, an animal? They pick it apart in seconds. If you had 5,000, it would be too much. You're going to be overwhelmed. How many gorillas is it? It is five gorillas. You're trying to tell me five gorillas can't take 10,000, it would be too much. You're going to be overwhelmed. How many gorillas is it? It is five gorillas.

You're trying to tell me five gorillas can't take 10,000 rats. Is that what you're trying to tell me? Yes. Nah, dog. They'll just be, like, biting their heads off and throwing them against the wall. There's 10,000. That's a hilarious amount of them. You can't.

Well, if you have 10,000 on the... Dude, silverback gorillas are tough. Yeah, I know, but like, it's like Game of Thrones. I'm going to take it there. What's his name? Yong Yong. The big giant? Oh, yeah.

North of the wildling giant? Yes. Like, yeah, dude, he could take like ten of the White Walkers or whatever, but he can't take a thousand they just overwhelm them they're gonna be biting on your neck nibbling your ear off next thing you know you're just skinless and you're walking around with just muscle if they can get to you scaring everybody here's okay here's the meme oh what we had the meme for a second maybe gators would have a better chance against them because gators like no one's taking 50 eagles let's get that let's

do it i'm taking 50 no you're not yes i am yes of think that's... No one's taking 50 Eagles. Let's just nick that. Dude, I'm taking 50 Eagles. No, you're not. Yes, I am. Yes, I am. That's the only way you can neutralize the rats. If you have the 50 Eagles on your team, they're taking out multiples of the rats. And then you take the Gorillas, too. And they can take the Bears and the Lions.

You have seven Bear and Lion versus five Gorillas. I'll take the gorillas. Interesting they didn't include hippopotamus on this. Africa's most dangerous animal. No one's taking the wolves here. Don't sleep on the wolves. They're a very smart animal. They hunt together.

I'll take a gorilla over a brown bear one-on-one straight up. There shouldn't be fewer bears than gorillas. It's a good fight. I don't know, though, man. The bear's got the claws. I don't think that is a good fight. I don't know, though, man. The bear's got the claws. I don't think that is a good fight. A gorilla does not have claws, right?

I think a gorilla will just straight up dismantle a bear. I don't know, man. Is there a problem with if you don't take the hunter, he can just stand like 100 yards away and shoot you? Yeah, but if you have seven-year-olds bison and they're bearing down on a hunter with one rifle, he's going to get got. Right. But you don't want the hunter on the other team

because he can just shoot you from a long range. It's fair. Yeah, that's why it's all a big discussion. There are going to be some different points. That does look like a water buffalo. So I was right on that? Maybe not. Are they aggressive?

You've got to think they are. Yeah. I'm not picking the lions. I'm sorry. It's not even the most ferocious of the cats. Oh, here we go. Dylan's, oh, I can beat up a lion take again. No, I've never said that.

Never would. But, I mean, a tiger, I'd take a tiger over a lion in a straight-up fight. Oh, yeah, probably. Tiger's bigger. I think it would, yeah. Hunry lion? Hunry female lion? Look, it's a force.

They do most of the hunting, you know that? It's going to do some damage. Did you know that? I did. Have you seen the tiger video when it's, like, coming out of the grass and it just shoots up at the elephant? Oh, my God. One of the best, coolest things ever.

Yeah. Get the wolves out of here with this. If you really go back on LiveLeak, it's just that video, but it has the next 15 seconds, too. Not good. Really? Not good. Who wins?

The tiger. Yes. Well, the elephant scoots out, but the dude on the elephant doesn't. Not good for him. Gators, nah. They're too easy to evade, I feel like. Well, that brings in the question, is there some sort of moat? A body of water. You're still getting shot by the hunter.

That discussion's moot. But the hunter, he can't take on a bunch of things at once. Plus, I feel like if you shoot a bear or a gorilla, it's not going to take them down immediately i agree with you i'm saying if the hunter is not on your team if you have say you have the the bears and the gorillas and you're just chilling there like in defense mode and the hunter just posts up outside he's like pops them off yeah if the gorilla if the gorilla has like a suit of armor that's going to change things. Because then the gorilla will be less likely to be penetrated by the 10,000 rats.

The hunter really throws a wrench in all this. Because it kind of just doesn't belong. Right. He's got a weapon. He has a weapon. You were referencing Planet of the Gapes, right, Dave? Sorry. 10,000 rats.

You're supposed to be steering like, steering the ship here. I want no part of 10,000 rats. Unbelievable, Brad. I don't know. I've never seen it. 10,000 rats? Dude, that is rats as far as the eye can see. They're not, like, diseased, though, right?

They're just straight up, like, out of the water. That's not going to matter because the rats, they're going to take you out. It matters. They're going to take you out before a disease would even, like, hurt you. They're going to overwhelm you. They're going to take you out before a disease would even hurt you. They're going to overwhelm you like a pile of ants. They're not aggressive though, right?

Normally not. He's not going to come at me. But the context is they're pissed at you. What about pizza rat? Oh, if it's 10,000 pizza rats, you're in trouble. So it's just a bunch of rats who have Zob. But if they just had pizza, they're probably just all chill and like... I was going to say, then you just toss a pizza out there. They're rating it.

They're having one bite, and they'll be like, oh, 8.2. You bring like 10 larges from Mr. Gaddy's, and you just set them out, and they'll just go to town on that. Boy, nobody's eaten Mr. Gaddy's. What's Mr. Gaddy's? I used to love Mr. Gaddy's when I was a kid. It's a buffet place in Austin. Oh, okay.

Why do you love buffets so much, Dylan? Tell me when you were a kid you didn't love buffet pizza. I don't have a buffet pizza place. Cici's was my buffet of choice. I never went to Cici's. It used to be like $1.99. I went there once as a kid. I don't know how they made money.

It's still cheap, by the way, because I've taken Parks. God, that sounds good. Yeah, me and Parks have been in a while. Six blocks for a plate. Dude, is Parks, what's Parks doing right now? You could have just run away. No, he's over there. He's playing Jurassic World Legos.

Oh, that's tight. Yeah. On the Xbox. Yeah. Twitch coming soon. Here's the thing with this meme. You're getting merch no matter what, i think you have no matter who's a cover uh riot shield no riot shield just deployable cove because that can change things that's all i'm saying is that a uh deployable cover is that something that's like a health boost no okay

it's covered that you deploy got it i play uh nhl 14 so my knowledge is limited it's okay yeah you know it's not limited though dave i'm still i'm still thinking about 50 eagles flying around yeah that's gonna mess you up swooping down and just taking sure it's not gonna kill you it's just gonna annoy you dude fuck off eagles keep popping down and stabbing you know i'm fucking taking the eagle dude eagles and rats underrated combo you got the ground attack and the aerial attack it might be over but i don't i just don't know if you have enough force in that situation to take down a gorilla or even a water buffalo. Wolves can fuck out of here. My favorite animal, though.

Yeah, love a wolf. Wolves are tight. You know what I love? A good night's sleep. Sleep in eight hours uninterrupted. This must be about SOM. SOM sleep. That is S-O-M sleep.

Dylan, did you know that 70% of adults say that they aren't getting enough sleep? At least once per month. Did I say that like once per week, right? Or I did until I got a case of Psalm delivered to my house. True story. Sleep-related problems affect 50 to 70 million Americans. That's too many people. Too many people.

Getting a good night's sleep is also important to your overall health. Hel stress levels gives you more energy improves your memory and helps your body repair itself recovery that's huge immune system sleep is very very healthy for your body and for your mind i've always said that um i've got the i've got both versions of psalm i have the original formula that has a little bit of sugar than the one without it i don't have both they're both very good and if i go to bed if i'm upstairs i hate when i brush my teeth and realize i haven't had my psalm yet i'm like dude i gotta go do the whole thing again but i can't go to sleep without it that's how good it is and it doesn't like knock you out like immediately it's just like a totally relaxes you it's got peaceful

drift into sleep i believe it has uh l-theanine in it, which is an extract from green tea. Calms you down. It's great. Kind of like lands the plane, right? Exactly. That's the best analogy. Glide slope. Yes.

Helps you fall asleep faster and sleep better throughout the night. Unlike prescription sleep aids, Psalm Sleep is drug-free and non-habit-forming and uses ingredients naturally found in your body like magnesium and melatonin.

Both of those things are key. Two M's, M&M's. Yeah. Sure. Sure, man. That's a great time. Drink a small 8-ounce can of Psalm Sleep 30 minutes before bed. Sleep great.

Wake up refreshed. Get the original berry flavor or the zero sugar version. Both are non-GMO, vegan, dairy-free, and, Brett, gluten-free. How about that? Huge for me. If you're one of the millions of Americans and millions of adults having problems sleeping, you should try Psalm right now.

I'm going to start saying that in my every day and see how long Dylan takes to kill me. He's going to put him to sleep, right? That's the... Yeah. Wilst doing something else. Hey, there he is. So before the podcast, we were arguing over if it's Wilst or Wilst, and I thought it was Wilst.

For some reason, I thought it was Wilst, and apparently I was right. Neither of them sound good. No. Neither of them roll off the tongue so poorly. The safe way to play it, though, if you're unsure, is just to not say it at all. Just fuck off and find another word. Just to not say it.

What's wrong with saying whilst? It's very pretentious, like I said earlier. Just say while. A word that is so common. I'm whilst-ing out. It's my new show. They hired me to replace Nick Cannon. Do you have any breaking news dylan you want to say

travolta travolta for next week i just i haven't seen them i haven't seen the meme oh it's really not even a it's just a it's just a tweet as far as i understand it's just travolta leaving p or looking like he got caught like with his hand in the cookie jar but he's really just holding pf changs for some reason should we use the guy as a butt of a joke right after he loses his wife though i mean really he probably he probably doesn't he doesn't want to catch that pay attention doesn't he look like he's like oh come on i'm just getting changs he just went oh there it is randy had it randy had it the whole time uh based on the size of that, it looks like there's two containers. He's got kids.

So you got to think it's like orange chicken and lo mein? I was going to say lettuce wraps, sweet and sour chicken. He's got Mongolian beef in there. Yeah, maybe some wonton soup. They do wonton there? Probably. That used to be my favorite soup as a child. Want on. They call you the want on Dave. Young, dumb, and full of want on. There's something

there. I was full of it cause I was just eating an whole day. Is there a PF change in the South Austin area? There's one downtown. Okay. I might have to check that out. Been there many a time. It's right next to the Vince Young Steakhouse, actually. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Does he have like an iPad there?

He does. Yeah, he definitely has a tablet. See, man, leave John alone. Hopefully this wasn't recent. That's trash to photograph him just out and about like his wife died, what, two weeks ago?

Mm-hmm. can't just do that he doesn't have his mask on he's outside maybe it's okay he's definitely rocking the uh black tee with black logo-less cap look that's uh that's got to be one of the most popular looks for celebrities to to be doing these days that's like... Tony Romo. Secret service in a bad movie, like low-budget movie style. Like this... Yes, absolutely. No, the meme was,

glad to see Nick Cage is wearing his mask whilst shopping. That's how this conversation started. But that's actually what the tweet says. Ugh. Forgive me, but what's the Nick Cage-Trivolta connection? Face Off. You ever seen Face Off?

They basically play each other in the movie because their faces were swapped. His face was off. 13 going on 30? I don't know if that's right. I don't know. You're not familiar with face off? No, I had no idea.

It's like Freaky Friday. Freaky Friday. Freaky Friday, Randy knows. Have you seen it, Randy? No. We got our next streamer. People got to stop using Wils. You got to.

This guy tweeted it. He just wanted to sound smart or something. I don't know. I think he did it just to get this conversation going. William Stone, I'm out on you. I'm trying to expose Dylan here to see if he's ever said Wilst. I haven't. That would be something.

Confirmed. Dylan's never used it. Yeah. On Twitter. I didn't need to look that up. On Twitter. Right. Look me up next.

Dave. Get ready to catch the unfollow has never used it damn you are not the father bummer did y'all see Chainsmokers did a concert

and they're getting shit for it because there was a ton of people there sorry I just I forgot about it of course it's Chainsmokers and it was in the Hamptons and it was a drive-in concert but people are just out there

we out here I have used Wilst twice in my Twitter career, both in 2013. Ten days apart, weirdly. You're just lucky that we didn't do a deep dive on you before hiring you. You just Twitter searched my name in Wilst? That snuck through. Do you want to know the tweet, Dylan? It's terrible.

It's a really terrible tweet. Yeah, read it. Real emotional day. Now blasting carry on by fun, period. Whilst sitting next to a fire in just botchers with a glass of Makers on the rocks. This is your tweet? Delete it. It's a sentence fragment.

That tweet sucks. That's a terrible tweet. There's so much I hate about that tweet. I hate it myself. Whilst it's in a sentence structure, the whole thing is just a mess. Why are you telling us you're drinking Makers, Mark? With just botchers on. Why am I saying that?

What are you doing? I don't know. I'm deleting the tweet. Fucking. Sad, Brett. Isn't that terrible? What were you listening to? Carry On by Fun.

Carry On. That is the most depressing tweet. Don't delete it. I need you to say that. That is so weird. I'm most depressing tweet. Don't delete it. I need you to say that. That is so weird. That's a weird tweet. No one is drinking Maker's Mark listening to fun in their underwear. Yeah, I don't know why I'm doing that.

All right, I got to find this tweet. It can't do it. Deleted. No! I can't have that out there retweeted. You might still be able to capture it because I just deleted it. What's your Twitter? Oh, Schmerriman.

It's a truly horrendous tweet. It's, how long ago was that? 2013. Yeah, that sucks. I mean, seven years.

All right, I think we should probably call it. We've been doing this for an hour and a half. It's time to call it, folks. Look, we started a call it. We've been doing this for an hour and a half. It's time to call it, folks. Look, we started a little slow. We picked up steam. We picked up steam.

I think people are going to remember this podcast for the last three-fourths and not the first quarter. I think that's fair. Not going to lie. They had us in the first half. You guys remember that meme? Yeah, it was a good meme, dude. I'm finding this tweet.

I almost called you Sean. What's your name? Brett? It's me? Yeah, it was a good meme, dude. I'm finding this tweet. I almost called you Sean. What's your name? Brett? It's me. Yeah, Sean. Shots the lights out, though. All right, folks. Uncle Sean.

Let's get out of here. Bye. Oh, no. Oh, Brett. What? The volume's up. I think this thing turned off. Randy, can you hear this sound?

I think this thing turned off. Randy, can you hear the sound? Bring on mic stand.
