Only you guys. No, but just the way you phrased it. Y'all are feeding into big weather more than anything right now. It's disgusting to see. I absolutely hate it.

No, I know you shouted out little weather, but you're still playing by big weather's rules, which is pretty disgusting. Dude. If y'all actually think it's going to be a high 75 like this weekend, you're crazy. I'm looking at a high 71 on Saturday. Exactly, dude. They're trying to get you all excited. Just be careful. What do they have to gain from that?

What? What do they have to gain from getting us excited? They're getting talked about on top of the biggest, most exciting Monday podcast drop that there is today. You think they don't have anything to gain from this? Yeah. You need to go to the Texas OU. Don't tell me what I need to do. You need to go to the uh texas ou don't tell me what i need to do you need to go i would love to go it's going to be the best weather in years i know i know i don't want to spoil your weekend and fun but i'm just giving you some ideas

thank you for the idea oh man you can intro me if you're ready. Dylan Chivary. The calendar has turned, folks, along with cool front season and is also October and spooky season. Spooky mug alert. Jason Voorhees, shout out. Very excited. Best time of year. Is that who sent you the mug? Yeah. Best Voorhees, shout out. Very excited. Is that who sent you the mug?

Yeah. Best time of year is upon us. Super excited for it. Vibes are right. And it's going to be a hell of a month of content here at Wash Media. Just wait, folks. Yeah, I think you're alluding to spooky season. Why don't you kick off spooky season with your like your most demonic diabolical laugh go ahead

all right i'm sorry you want to give it a shot bitch there's nothing spooky about that shit yeah that's kind of like my um redneck rampage spooky voice. Shout out to all my gamers out there. Remember that one? Okay, that's pretty fucking good. It did the finger, too, which I was not expecting. I did the Britney Spears.

Wow. You fucking saved it. Damn, son. You saved it again. You went high pitch with it. You want to run it back kind of safe face i don't i don't know if i have if you want to cut that and use it during like a come thunder during this year's spooky season you're okay with doing that i will clear i will

clear my my voice for reproduction i didn't know you had it like that i like to get spooky every once in a while maybe i tell you guys i don't like halloween because in reality i'm actually busy doing other stuff like haunting people like murdering you're alive and well are you the well are you the uh rainy street ripper oh is it funny to joke about death i'm not laughing motherfucker i'm not laughing are you the rainy street ripper i won tell anybody. Why are you asking me that? I'm interested to see what you do in your spare time. Yeah, but what information could you possibly have come into

that would lead you to ask me that question? It seems very accusatory. You're getting weirdly defensive right now. Stop asking me if I'm the guy that's killing people on Rainy Street. You're low-key projecting right now, my dude. I don't have it in me to kill this guy though you don't think you could kill if you had to um only if i was you know if it was absolutely necessary i could take a life i'll take a fucking life if i have so what you're saying is that killing ain't easy but it's

necessary if it's necessary i could you know if it's if it's if one of mine is being threatened. I'll say this. I could put my hand around an MF-er's neck and just take him out. I couldn't. I ain't a killer, but don't push me. That's all I'm saying. That's good. It's facts.

It's big facts. Murder. No. What? Murder was the case. What the fuck? What DA brought down a murder case on you murder was the case that they gave me why you can't what what could what scenario could you possibly be in where they gave you a case for murder i don't want to talk about it i don't

like how you just jump from jaw to snoop i'll do whatever the fuck i want just not even in the same conversation i got it in me like that though you you know where i'm from bitch you're down the street shoal creek right it's a pretty fucking dope spot northwest hills man okay shout out i always think you and i go across shoal creek i don't even know if if you lived there like growing up or if it was like after college zero through eight i lived on shoal Creek, the street. Ah. Yeah. Right next to the ballpark there where they filmed the Daisy Confused scene. Have you ever not lived like

suspiciously close to a ballpark? It's true. Like, I feel like there's something in me that like I like to be closer to water than far from it. Like, are you like that with ballparks? Yeah. Yeah, where they filmed that scene where what's his, Mitch Kramer got his ass whipped against the fence.

Oh, he just got absolutely shelled. I've been calling him Bitch Kramer because he got his ass whipped so bad. Two-minute walk from my house, growing up. That's cool. Then we moved across the tracks. And you've hit no piss missiles in that stadium? Oh, I played there for a full season. I didn't ask if you played there.

I asked if you hit piss missiles. I hit piss i hit piss missiles i did actually i was fucking on one that season just making sure i'll put on a show bitch i got no love last night last night my dad was sending me some my dad was sending me some old newspaper clippings of me just scoring goals last night in soccer no one in the group chat gave me anything i did i that was like a pity one though like dave's a real one because he gave me the pity like, oh, cool. And then everyone else just went about their day. I didn't know it was you. I was scrolling it at that party.

And I was like, I zoomed. I clicked it. And I was like, oh, fuck, that's Will. And then I saw KJ had weirdly found the other guy on LinkedIn. Do you hear what I said? That your girl came to watch me play that season? And she was no longer your girl. She drove all the way down from Duncanville to seems like a really unnecessary drive she had her parents driver in theory because that was

like probably fifth grade she could just get a max perhaps and just check the score later they pulled up and let her out of the car and said all right y'all need to leave for a few hours now and come back pick her up oh they said okay where'd they go probably out to like dinner or something lubies they had to go check out all the hot spots in austin yeah i went to luby they went to the i love you thing took a picture yeah don't know if it was around back then whatever just fucking go with it jesus i mean they've had to replace it like a million times this is probably like 95 people just graffiti over it they open another one down in South Austin, that same place. It's not that great.

They opened another mural? Yeah, we can't be opening graffiti. Oh. Like, we can't just be, like, graffiti's supposed to be bad boy shit, and we're just all, like, posing for Instagram photos in front of it like little losers. They turn it into art. It's like, come on, man.

Yeah, what are we doing here? Lame. Like, we got, there's, have you seen the new guy that's been tagging stuff around town breaker really yeah did he did he uh push what's his face out uh um what was that guy's name i'll come up with it smiley buscar buscar yeah no buscar i still see a lot of buscar but i've seen a little more breaker popping up buscar has been running the game for a long time in this city i know i think i might i think i might put my ear even further to the streets and start seeing if I can get in with these guys.

Yeah. Maybe you should start creating a tag of your own. Yeah. What would it be? You know how y'all look at skyscrapers in awe? How do they even fucking do this? When I see someone tagged a highway sign that goes above the highway, the exit signs, I'm like, how? I feel like they get out there with carababiners and shit and like rappel down

yeah i mean like dude this is this is innovation but then do you ever get to the thought process where you just assume that they practice somewhere of like writing upside down had to oh shit that's the next level that's where i get to all the time i'm like wait how did they maybe they oh no maybe they actually just did it upside down it's like still gotta climb that hoe though it's like yeah that's true they could be on a bridge you know it's like how the big air bikers like do try everything into the foam pits first yeah so it's their foam pit yeah did you ever think of it like that uh no i bet i'm the first person to ever make that comparison which is pretty cool that That's awesome. At DCRuff on Instagram. Coffee time.

Add me on the group. We got a lot of announcements today. We already talked about it, but first and foremost, the most important thing we might ever say this entire year, tomorrow, spooky season begins. Spooky season can only be listened to beyond the paywall. This is an optimized tier thing only, so if you're not opto, you best get opto.

Spooky season is our most fun time that we have beyond the paywall. The paywall. The paywall. It's subscription-based content. I got chills just thinking about this. It's the best. This is going to be

the spookiest spooky season of all time. We are doing a free seven-day trial for all patrons. You can listen to these episodes either on Patreon or you can search Circling Back on Spotify. We've got two different feeds. If you can't figure out which one's our normal feed and which one's our Patreon feed,

We're absolutely ruthless when it comes to the blogging game and we're back in it on friday we also did something else ruthless we discovered that we have uh the golden bachelor upon us and so we recapped the first episode while we will not be doing regular weekly recaps of the golden bachelor i will be

watching episode two that'll probably be recapped at some point on some podcast in the future Maybe even like late monday Who knows might be a might be a throwaway seg at the end to talk about who jerry's trying to pipe that week Oh, man, did you ever get any responses back from anyone that you followed on instagram from the cast dylan? Uh Either she's not interested or she's not team follow back or maybe both i don't know but no she appeared to not be on jones radar at the moment joan could just be trying to figure out like how to like get her text to be like smaller for the last like three days she doesn't know what a dm maybe she needs one of her kids to show her how to follow somebody on instagram the other night i was trying to get my headphones to connect to my ipad ageism and i couldn't figure it out and i was like working

on it for like 20 minutes did you need me i was I was getting angry. And I was like, it won't work, Sally. It always works. And finally, she was like, let me see. She goes, have you charged these headphones in a while? It's like, they're fully charged. They weren't. They were dead. It's embarrassing.

Dude. It's embarrassing. Hey, technology is tough, Will. I get it, man. It is tough, dude. I felt like you. I totally get it. I'm turning 40 soon.

I get it. I felt like you, dude. And as always, leave a five-star review and you can be featured in five-star review of the week every Wednesday. Let's talk about our friends over at Alpha Romeo. Alpha Romeo. Look at that. Have you guys ever heard of this Tenale? Yeah.

There's one in the parking lot right now. We got one chilling in the parking lot. We love ourselves an Alphafa Romeo Tonale. This thing's all new. Absolutely fully loaded. Got large touchscreen, which is just a beautiful thing to see. Apple Play up in there. It's got some tech in there that I have yet to figure out.

I've been playing with it. There are different modes of driving that I'm like, all right, this seems like some really cool shit that I need to figure out. And I plan to. The car is sharp, man. Straight up, I didn't know the tech was there to do some of the things that Tonali has. It's very, very nice. You didn't realize it?

I took it for a spin recently, me and Big Game Brett out there. And I was very impressed. Where'd you go? You'll have to find out. But people were saying it was Tasty Treat Thursday. I heard you guys ran into some stop signs while you were driving. You could say that.

It's truly what I liked about Texas. The Italian craftsmanship of the interior. Oh, stop. What you're doing is almost insulting. It's... Okay. It's right... It's just very handsy right now.

Yeah. When this thing pulled up to the studio, I looked out the window and I just thought, that looks fast. Yeah. That looks fast. Yeah. These things are just clean.

They're beautiful. They got that Italian vibe to it. Ours is electric blue. It's kind of like a washed blue. I felt like Travolta in there. It's electrifying. Imagine rolling through the streets of central Austin in a color that's not electric blue. Couldn't be me.

Couldn't be me. Imagine rolling through the streets of Austin without having something that's plug-in hybrid technology driven. Like, I can't think of a scenario where I would do that. You're saying I can choose between gas or electric? It's electrifying. Is that what you're telling me? I would do that. You're saying I can choose between gas or electric? It's electrifying.

Is that what you're telling me? I am, yeah. Sounds like it. You guys might be underselling it, man. Dude, you can go 32 miles all electric. You can go 360 miles total range, baby. It's a beautiful vehicle. Go check these out.

It's the Alfa Romeo Tenale. You can learn more about Alfa Romeo Tenales at alfaromeousa.com. Again, that's alfaromeousa.com. Dylan, what did you get into this weekend? Oh, thank you, Will. Not going to lie. A whole lot of nothing, and it was kind of great. Well, Friday I was with Parks.

We just chilled. Didn't do much. Well, I took him to a school event Friday after school. How'd that go? Good. It was for Mexican Heritage Month. There was a little, like a party after school. I had a mariachi band there.

It was kind of a chill vibe. Went to that. Sounds like something I would have been interested in. Yeah. Seriously. Oh, I'm sorry. Were you serving any food or drinks there? No.

There was a... How are you going to have a Mexican Heritage Party without Were you serving martinis? Did you have any food or drinks there? No. There was a... How are you going to have a Mexican Heritage Party without having some Mexican martinis flowing? There was a taco truck parked outside that wasn't affiliated with the school. It was just... They saw an opportunity to sell some tacos. They Googled Mexican Heritage Month events and then just decided to show up across the street from them?

By the way, if it's Hispanic Heritage Month, I apologize. I don't know the correct terminology there. So I'm sorry. I'll fact check. I'll fact check. So that was chill. Saturday, I didn't do anything. I watched football.

Parks had a soccer game. They took an L, but that's OK. He had fun. I just chilled Saturday and Sunday. I didn't do much of anything. Yesterday, I took a long walk on the hike and bike trail i got a little workout in i went grocery shopping it was yeah you were shopping you had to get your list okay i went shopping yeah uh mexican heritage month is kind of lumped in with hispanic heritage month so i'm

kind of right on both yeah like going forward we should probably refer to it as National Hispanic Heritage Month. Okay. But when you Google Mexican Heritage Month and it says whether or not that's a thing, it just alerts you that it's Hispanic. Thank you for your service. We will be celebrating accordingly, even though it is over in about two weeks. Either way, we were celebrating it. I didn't know that they had months where it was like September 15th to October 15th.

Confusing. Why are they straddling the month line? I don't know. I don't know. They got months where it was like September 15th to October 15th. Confusing. Why are they straddling the month line? I don't know. I don't know. They got it like that, I guess. It's kind of a drippy move. They ran it right into spooky season. No one's doing that.

It's not long grape drippy, but it's pretty drippy nonetheless. I'm not doing long grape drip. Long grapes are so sick. I got some for today. Can I try one? Oh, yeah. Thank you. Anyway, that was my very chill.

That was my weekend in chill. How about that, Dave? How about you want to take over? It's yeah. Thank you. Anyway, that was my very chill. That was my weekend in chill. How about that, Dave? How about you want to take over? It's called This Weekend in Fun, but that. Yeah, no one tried to change the segment. Maybe try to be better next week. Yeah. We've been doing this for a long time.

All right, man. Hey, go for it, buddy. All right, I guess I'll do my weekend in chill. This weekend in chill. No, it doesn't work. I, too, had a school event uh for my son uh friday afternoon they did uh i guess what no invite yeah this is you gotta link a player up it was it was this is the multicultural parade where each each class is a a different um country and my son's class

keepsake shout out to the um the highly controversial russian class um who who who was like hey we're still doing russia as one of the countries we're celebrating during this parade a lot of countries to choose from i don't know why they had to do that one it was weird that all the kids were walking up to me like that class specifically yeah i was like well you're our leader hey yeah what's the hand you notebooks and permanent markers yeah what does that mean for autographs oh okay because he's vladimir putin like what what am i doing who gets a notebook son god kids at school like well i don't know you're not allowed to wear hats at school you're gonna give them a hat hit him a football and a sharpie yeah everyone's walked

quite a bit and i have to say it i do feel like i was uh trampled by uh moose i i feel very very or you know hit by a bus whatever you know i trampled by a moose. I feel very, very, or, you know, hit by a bus, whatever. I don't feel great. Trampled by moose. Moose. What's the plural for moose? Moose eye? Moosey?

It's not moosey? It's just moose. Dave, come on, man. Okay. I didn't mention the fucking pizza I had last night. Just calm down on the pizza. I'll yield some time to you at the end. We also had, okay, I'll let you time to you at the end. We also had...

Okay, I'll let you do it with me because we did the exact same place Saturday. You did? We picked up Jets. My Jets blew my little thing off, man. It was unbelievable. My penis is famously still attached. Mine was...

My pizza, it changed me. It rewired my shit. Can you explain what the controversial topping was? I don't think it was controversial at all. So I did pepperoni. I did Italian sausage. I did pepper. It was a, I think it was a banana pepper.

You know what we're getting at, man. And then I hit it with a little, they call it popcorn chicken, a little fried chicken ball. And it was really, really tasty. Was that just an effort to get a little bit more protein or were you just feeling kind of flirty it was because that's a flirty order it was it was mega flirty they i picked up and they're like hey you kind of crushed this i said nice order hey man i said thank you i know did they tip their little pizza cap to you it was so freaking good man okay shout out jets jets is Jets. Jets is great. The one on South Lamar. Did me right.

We did the same. Yeah, it didn't really do much Saturday. It was a big, outside of leaving to go to the gym and go hit golf balls, it was a big college football day. Fun college football day, which we will talk about on Too Much Dip, our sports podcast here at the Wash Media Empire. Yesterday we went to a birthday party for a friend, watched the Cowboy game.

Very low key. I came up here, had some preparations for spooky season. I saw Dylan. Dylan came up here to get a shopping list. I left my grocery list up here. You don't do a digital list. You're old school. You write it down. Yeah. You know why? Because I want to keep pulling my phone out every time I'm on a different aisle. What do I need from this one? It's just right there in front of me in the cart, and it's perfect. Like how my dad writes down, has a book. Tell me I'm wrong.

My dad has a password notebook for all of his passwords. I wouldn't defer to me right now if I'm you. Might want to take that back. All right. A physical list? What are you doing? Dude, you don't have to keep pulling your phone out and unlocking it. And, you know, it's like it's just right there.

Nope. All I do, here's what I do. You want the Will DeFreeze method of grocery shopping grocery shopping i guess i make a list on my reminders and then from there i reprioritize the list by section so that when i approach a section i can just say like yo all the produce right now and then you just put it in the little tiny thing at the cart and you just set it right there you think someone's gonna come by by and lift your phone off you in Central Market? No, but your screen keeps going black. I'm not worried about it.

No, it's not something to worry about. It just makes it a little bit easier for me. I'm going to stick with my method. I'm not going to poo-poo you too much here, because I appreciate you going analog still. Do you know what I do? Is it faster for you to write than type? Make your wife do it? Jesus, dude. Wow, dude. Okay. Okay. Wow. analog still do you know what i do is it faster for you to write than type make your wife do it jesus wow dude okay wow

no um i guess i'm gonna go a different direction i uh i record an audio note i convert it to mp3 then i put in wireless headphones and i just have it playing on loop as i walk around the store that's not annoying at all i like i like. Pretty cool. Sometimes I sing a little song, put a little jingle to it. That's cool, man. Mm-hmm. Picking up the long grapes now. I don't buy long grapes.

Long grapes, long grapes. Dave's gonna buy some long grapes. Long grapes. That's so dumb. Dude, long grapes are the drippiest food of the year. They creep me out. They look like they're melting. It's the creepiest food. No, dude, like they're melting. It's the creepiest food.

It's Dali. It's the creepiest fruit. Dave, just say you want to try one. I don't want to try your long grape. It tastes like a grape. There's nothing to try. Dude, but they're long. When you bite down on it, it's not just with two teeth.

It's with four. You know what I'm talking about? Okay. You want to give your weekend. Who, your boy? Yes. I had a big weekend. I also played my Zod card this weekend, but we made a Zod home.

Oh. The homemade Zod card is something we don't often play, but I don't know if you guys have seen this. There's a viral TikTok sensation about this pizza that can be made with all items from Trader Joe's. And I don't know what it is about Sally, whether it's her pregnancy, whether it's just her personal tastes or what. She's been on a big Trader Joe's kick lately. So we made this

viral pizza. Pretty freaking good. If anyone out there is wondering, what are you talking about, Will? Just search viral TikTok pizza, Trader Joe's. What, Randy? You mean ingredients? Like, what are you talking about? Just from stuff you get at Trader Joe's? Like, they have other ingredients at Trader Joe's that's not just, like, vegetables, Randy. They have spreads. They have sun-dried tomatoes out of a nice jar. Do they have popcorn chicken? They probably do have popcorn chicken, but we did not do that.

They just did Ronis. Damn, Dylan's different. I'm going to get this exact pizza really soon. You should, dude. Get it for lunch today. You won't. I have one square left over on my four square pizza.

Might enjoy it at lunch. I also did something this weekend that I've never done before. Been talked about a lot. Pretty sure Intern Klein is a big proponent of doing this, as I've seen him on the golf course do a variation of this. Pick up a six-footer? No. Oh good that's mean that's mean dude that's not even a straight

that's just direct this weekend i tried my first ever espresso martini made with tequila have you guys done this no it the concept is just my mind is not wired that way i agree dave i agree that's how i've felt about this for the last like year or so that people have been trying to get me to try this i will say that while i don't think i'll replace my normal order for an espresso martini it didn't taste as egregious as i thought it would and i actually kind of enjoyed it no it's good i kind of enjoyed it yeah but it's all personal taste at that point because the coffee is so overwhelming that it's almost hard to even taste the difference for me.

But I also have trash taste buds. People know that. That's true. Really bad taste buds. And then I did the most – probably one of the more electric, exciting things I've done in a long time this weekend. I had the absolute pleasure of going to the Austin Record Convention at the Palmer Center. It was just me and a bunch of dudes in their 60s just absolutely vibing out uh you've never smelled a mustier convention center than the record convention oh oh yeah the old boxes combined with just the old vinyls and everything if you walk in you're

like wow record stores have a very specific smell and it's the opposite of what a book fair smells like which is just all new paper it's just all old stuff i knew it smelled crazy in there it smelled crazy in there david um really interesting event though i mean like there's just old dudes who are just like you know what i'm gonna go city to city selling my records i hope to be one of those old men one day after the uh event did you guys walk outside and just look at some construction across the street or anything we should have we should have i mean you could just tell how many dudes there just like want someone to talk to sad yeah i talked to a dude about an italian restaurant in south lake for like 30 minutes the other day really yeah it's called calabrese you ever been there dave he told

me it's just the best no i thought he was gonna say carbone at first and then i realized that i'm talking to like a 65 year old man who's probably not going to Carbone, and then when he said that it was a place in Southlake, I was like, that makes sense. Seems more your speed than Carbone. Interesting. I'll have to check it out. I can't speak to it because I've never been,

but it seems to have decent reviews, Dave. It's got a four rating on Yelp. Looks pretty delightful. It actually does look kind of delightful i think i might try this next time in the south lake area south lake way i think it's kind of a beating to get to that's what that's what everyone says south of the lake what's out of that just did some vibing everyone have a good weekend we did it's good man real good beautiful to hear i needed a little little skip in my step this morning. A little coffee action. Because, you know, it might still be pretty hot out here.

But it's officially fall, baby. It's October. And it's fall no matter what. Because Duncan says it is.

Headlines. We're going to do some original headlines. Dude, that sounds great. Headlines, Dylan. Dude, that sounds great. That theme song means one thing and one thing only. It's time for some headlines. We kicked ourselves walking in the office last week

because we didn't do any headlines on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. Today, though, that all changes. Because she went to the Jets game last night at the MetLife Stadium, we thought it'd be time to do a little headlines. For anyone out there who's not familiar with headlines, this is a segment where we go back to our blogging days and we try to come up with the best, most clickable headlines that we can for a topical news story. Today's story, Taylor Swift, Travis Kelsey.

Shall we? The hottest new couple. How many do you guys have? I have six. I don't feel great about all of them. I have nine, six of which are probably fit for air, three of which may be after the show. I have seven and one or two are pretty pretty pretty like okay like this is more usa today and then i've got some vice ones if you're saying all nine on the show today i just hope you know that we're not letting you out of here

this may be my last show who wants to start with the shittiest of theirs i'm crazy uh dylan i mean i have a really shitty one let's see it's not even funny it's just it's just me trying to get my foot in the game for like one of the songs that she has hey uh shoulders back suck in this is this is i got it i got it oh yeah clip time i got a shitty one i'll follow everyone look hot it's clip we might be on a clip clip Clip watch. Are you ready for my first one? Welcome to New York. Kelsey jets away from Taylor's Tribeca home. If that's your low point. I have to admit my delivery on that surpassed my previous expectations of that headline.

I got a real shitty one. I just want to get out of the way. Can I compliment Will and thank him? I'm glad that you kicked it off with putting some music, because I was wondering if I would have the cojones to sing some of these. So thank you for your service. I will be singing most of mine, as most of mine are plays, off of Taylor Swift's songs. Makes sense. Go ahead, Dylan. There's a noticeable blank space where Jackson Milhom's seat would be. Weird little brother of Chiefs quarterback, nowhere to be seen in the presence of

star Taylor Swift. That's wordy. That's not the wordiest of them, by the way. Just so you know. Talk your talk and go viral. Please throw my man a tight spiral. Tay and Trav heating up, y'all.

You're doing the y'all thing again. Can you do that one more time? Talk your talk and go viral. Please throw my man a tight spiral. Tay and Trav heating up, y'all. Okay. Is that what you wanted?

Mm-hmm. Kelsey is her boyfriend. Kelsey is her boyfriend. Kelsey is a god. Kelsey is the flex spot on my team on the weekend. I like that. That's good. I like that. That's good.

All right, sports. He's a good fantasy footballer. I don't know why he'd be in your flex spot, not just your starting tight end. He wouldn't be. We put him there. It's a PPR league. He went for about, I don't know, 120 points last night. No tutties.

All right, here's one. Loves a game. Want to play. Sorry, Taylor. He plays football. All right, here's one. Loves a game. Want to play. Sorry, Taylor. He plays football, so he's kind of busy. That's good. I don't know about the note that you hit in the beginning of that. It wasn't my best note.

Is it me? Mm-hmm. Meet me at midfield. Trav and Tay are heating up, y'all. Mm-hmm. Meet me at midfield'sv and tay are heating up y'all meet me at midfield's good that that's good i wish i would have thought of that they're probably gonna meet up like somewhere that's not on the field there dude shut up i'm sorry just just fucking play along they're gonna hook up at midfield you don't think they'd smash at midfield if they did that would that would probably make national headlines if someone spotted that yeah then we could write about it

it's probably more likely that's in the box or the suite that she was sitting in britney now we've got bad blood taylor swift stealing the wag spotlight oh she did not look happy y'all i have a very similar one about the same person can i get that one out of the way since we're already there britney mahomes finds herself in shadow of megastar taylor swift baby now we got bad blood that's good you know that was okay yes no you know that was okay you know yeah hey i don't know about you but i'm watching the all 22 all 22 it's a football guy thing you can see the entire field number of guys on the field i'm not coaches now they have like other views so you can watch? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's tight. Sports guys, if you're really into it.

Mine are... I have one, and I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote this, because it's certainly not a Taylor Swift song that I was doing. I just have, it's Britney, bitch. Patrick Holmes' wife seemed giving side eye in New York sweet seats. Okay. It's not even Taylor Swift.

You ready for like a really stupid one? These have all been very, very silly. Taylor Swift's attention now on the football field because the player's going to play, play, play, play. There are five plays. I know I didn't hit that the right way, but you got it. It's going to play. That's good. Chiefs pull it out, but did Travis Kelsey?

Okay. It's a sex joke, folks. Okay. It was a tough game. Yeah. Zach Wilson looked pretty good. Yeah, they looked. He did.

Tough final play for him, though. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. I, they looked. He did. Tough final play for him, though. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. I missed the end of the game. He fumbled. He fumbled a snap. And Chiefs recover, and they just kill the clock from then. Yeah, you can't give Mahomes a ball with that much time.

Rolling with my homies. Three and out. Will Taylor be in Kansas City next weekend? Okay. Yeah. That's not super clickable, but we're out here. I'm clicking. We're out here.

Are you ready? Jackson, where you at, fam? Troubled brother of Chase quarterback is never, ever getting near Taylor. That's so bad. They wouldn't let him in the booth but i respect straight up man you gotta get past this jackson where you at fam he's they're clearly hiding him yeah you can't let jackson in the booth or the box with her man i think it was in the contract when the nfl gave it to taylor and travis to sign that was like hey, Jackson's not allowed anywhere near the situation. Chiefs find a pulse,

but did Tay and Trav leave separately? Is he losing her? Somewhat of a deep cut. Yeah, Dylan was super into that one. Guess you weren't into the Midnight's album. Maybe a Midnight game. Back to the drawing board. Red and yellow, red and yellow.

The new Taylor Gang rolls into the MetLife. I like that. That's good. Is that a Wiz play? Yeah, but it's also playing into Taylor Gang and she's got all her crew with her.lor's version

what'd you guys think of her crew last night i feel like bringing ryan reynolds and blake lively is kind of low-hanging fruit it's kind of what low-hanging fruit oh it's long-hanging grapefruit why they're long grapes i just feel like like i don't know like we know they're likable like bring someone a little controversial in there, you know? Like, we have Ryan Reynolds. Like, everyone likes him. She shows up with Kanye. I don't know if they would go to a football game together at this point. It would be quite the story if they did, would it not?

Go ahead, Dylan. I don't know if I wanted to do my last one. No, you have to. You're making me do all mine. I have two more. We could leave the Christmas lights up till January, she says. Taylor, the Chiefs will be in the playoffs in January, so Jack might have other things on his mind.

That's pretty good. What? Why wouldn't you read that? Do you listen to Lover? How do you even know that line? That's one of my favorite Taylor songs. I did not know that about you. Yeah, I love that song.

Damn, that's fucking heartwarming as shit. Yeah, it's a great song. It is a good song. What, Randy? I got one. oh we got randy with one hey i'll do this taylor i'm gonna let you finish but hugh jackman was the greatest showman of all time okay okay okay okay wait wasn't hugh there yeah he was there. Hugh Jackman. Welcome to New York. Taylor's waiting for you in the suite with her A-list friends. Okay.

Okay. It's a fact. Extreme TMZ boys. From Wrexham to Wreckham, everyone in Taylor's suite last night. Okay. Wrexham to Wreckham is actually really good for this scenario. I'm very happy that that actually panned out like that. Because, you know, Ryan Reynolds famously owns Wrexham.

Yeah, he does. I'm out of headlines. As I just said, my last one was my last one. So take it, Dave. It's me. Hi. I'm the Mike Linebacker. It's me.

It's a football play, y'all. Mike Linebacker is the one writing the headline. Chiefs Kingdom shocked as Taylor Swift. Hold on. This is the grand finale. Chiefs Kingdom shocked as Taylor spotted leaving game with Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker. Chiefs Kingdom shocked as Taylor spotted leaving game with tight ends coach Tom Melvin. Why is she with Tom Melvin?

I don't know. Fucks Tom Melvin. He's the tight ends coach. I just thought it would be funny if she left the game with Tom Melvin. Yeah, that would be quite a twist. He's an old white coach. I just thought it would be funny if she left the game with Tom Melvin. Yeah, that would be quite a twist. He's an old white guy. Okay. Yeah.

Did she left the game with him in my universe? She didn't. They're going to a record convention together. Yeah, they're going to go stink it up. Yeah. Why are you pooping on record conventions? He's an old white guy. That's all I'm saying.

She loves the player. He loves the game. Kelsey with only 60 receiving yards for Chiefs versus Jets. Damn, why you got to drag Trav like that? Because, dude, if you're going to be bringing this media hoopla all the way to New York, you better fucking get at least one tutty for your boy's flex spot. That's true. Stop one tutty for your boy's flex spot that's true stop saying tutty stop oh it's a breadism that i can't shake that's all i have i'm out i mean look

you're not gonna find a better set of headlines those are pretty good those are pretty good there are some good ones kind of feel like dylan could have given me a little bit more reaction on mine. I'm looking at him for some help. Yours were good, man. No, you didn't care for them. I can tell. Did you like mine? Yes.

Mine were kind of good. They're good. You're the headline guy. Yeah. Some say I crush this. We're going to get a text in like three days from DJ Beam. Be like, Dylan, dude. This wasn't my best performance.

Kind of like Travis Kelsey last night in that game. No tutties. Exactly zero tutties. Oh, man. Exactly zero. It's tough. I like the idea that Will's running out two tight ends in his dance lineup. And there's one that I start ahead of Travis Will's running out two tight ends in his fantasy lineup.

And there's one that I start ahead of Travis Kelce. Yeah, you just put him in the flex. Do you ever just put somebody in the flex just because it's just Fonz? I like having him in the flex. I remember the first time I ever played fantasy, I was like, wait, why can't I just get all wide receivers and put them everywhere? I'm just going to put a wide receiver in my tight end spot. Why can't I do that?

And then week one came, and I was like, oh, I can't do that. We've all been there. Well, you know the running back position has famously been devalued not in fantasy football though it depends on your league yeah sure oh like if it's ppr or not yeah yeah if he's catching passes out of the backfield you know sure yeah i like football i like working out when i work out i use fitbot out, I use FitBot. Do you guys use FitBot? I do use FitBot. Everyone knows that working out is full of positive, sleeping better, looking better, and just feeling better. A lot of people say they just work out for the mental benefits of these kind of things. But as you get stronger, sticking to the same old routine can lead to a plateau in results.

And while plateaus are one of my favorite geographical features, I don't like them when it comes to my fitness journey, Dylan. What's your favorite geographical feature? I love a plateau, dude. I think they're so swag. It's like a mountain with a top off. They are kind of cool, man. They're cool. They're cool, dude.

Yeah, a guy like a flat top. Keep your momentum going and your progress positive with FitBod, the app that creates personalized workouts based on your goals, abilities, and gym setup while helping you track and visualize your progress along the way.

So whether you're, I don't know, at your normal gym doing your routine or whether you're on the go, you can use FitBot anytime. If I may, I recently froze my lifetime membership,

which means I have a new workout environment. I have had to adjust the settings on my FitBot to account for some machines I don't have access to anymore. But that's okay. We're still doing it. A little bit more body weight stuff, which FitBot is helping me with. So there you go.

It's great. You look great. Oh, thank you, David. They've got it all. They got a personalized workout plan designed for your fitness level and goals. So that whether you're looking for a custom workout based on your goals, experience, or available equipment and more, they've got it for you. So you can build your fitness habit and stay consistent.

Their workouts improve just as you do. So FitBot's powerful technology understands your strength training ability. It studies your past workouts and adapts to your available gym equipment.

was a majority of my mornings this past weekend watching the Ryder Cup. Did you guys enjoy your Ryder Cup this weekend? I watched a little bit of the Ryder Cup. my mornings this past weekend watching the rider cup did you guys enjoy your rider cup this weekend i watched i watched a little bit of the rider cup the the first morning session from friday did not exactly inspire me to get up early the rest of the weekend which really kind of you know it made it a little less pressure filled to watch the rider cup knowing that you know we might just get our dicks rocked off but But then the USA team did something

that I wish they hadn't done. They gave us a little bit of hope. Yeah. Friday's performance also kind of killed my desire to really dig in to the rest of the Ryder Cup. Yeah, it was tough. It was tough. But Saturday was when we really got the shift in momentum.

Got the blood flowing a little bit. Sitting on the couch, watching all the Euros, wave their hats at Patrick Cantlay. Were you guys aware of the situation at hand? Can I get some more context to what was going on there? There are reports that Patrick Cantlay is not impressed that he's not getting paid by the powers that be to be in the Ryder Cup.

The rumors are... The reports also uh state that you know xander shawflay his good friend is also in this camp and so as a means of protesting this uh cantlay did not wear the team usa hat oh pretty scary how old team usa ever recovered yeah yeah and so then the Euros got wind of this, and so they started taking their hats off and waving them as a celebration to get back at the USA team.

I did not know any of this. Yeah, and so as this started all going down, like, they were doing the hat-waving stuff, and then finally we had, like, a little bit of actual, like, momentum shifting going on for the first time. The final match, yeah, on Saturday. You had, as Will mentioned, you had as will mentioned you had

can't lay in xander now more xander stuff as you alluded to came out today about him not being happy with some having some dispute with the pga of america i don't really know whatever but can't lay apparently wanted to get paid which that's not a new thing. People like Americans, I don't know if it's just Americans, but they have been bitching about not getting paid for this for a long time. Um, you know, the, uh, his caddy is Joe LaCava, you know, Joe LaCava, formerly, uh, the cats caddy, um, New York guy, a ball guy. I think he can hold his own in a scrap. And Cantlay drained one, a big putt on 18 on Saturday. To give, I mean, had he not made that, I think USA, I mean, look, it was a very long shot.

It would have been a historical comeback, but they would have had no chance. He makes that. LaCava takes his cap off. He's waving it at the crowd. You know, Team USA is doing it. Everybody's lit. It's fun. Getsava takes his cap off. He's waving it at the crowd. You know, Team USA is doing it. Everybody's lit.

It's fun. Gets into Rory's way, who still had to putt. Has some words with Rory. It didn't look like between Joe and Cantlay. It's going to be a cute vid, I can tell you. Yeah, I just got a vid sent to my phone. Sorry. But then you have Shane Lowry and and justin rose yelling at lakava and just like it looked like team europe was like amassing around him and then afterward you have

when they're leaving rory loading up the car and getting into it look people thought he was yelling at bones who was famously there and um he was actually yelling at joe lakava again so it's it's real you know it was fun from the perspective of like you know what i kind of know that lakava was in the wrong in terms of like the more videos that came out the more it was like yeah maybe he did linger a couple extra seconds which in that scenario those extra five seconds feel like an eternity but at the same time, he's on our team, so I'm going to say nothing ill towards him. I'm just happy Team Europe was able to overcome

this great disrespect. I mean, a guy taking his cap off and waving it at the crowd like that, you just don't do that in sports. It's bad sportsmanship, and it's an affront to everything that is the Ryder Cup. So I just want to say, man, shout out to Team Europe for taking that egregious moment that is probably the worst thing that's ever happened and turning it into fuel.

I sense the sarcasm, obviously, but was it more about just getting in Rory's way and not about the hat gesture? The USA fan in me says that he was never in Rory's way and not about the hat gesture? The USA fan in me says that he was never in Rory's way outside of just being adjacent to Rory and being somewhat of a distraction. You don't think he intentionally got in Rory's way? He definitely intentionally got in Rory's way. I think he just got caught up.

He got caught up in the moment. He's a guy who's been getting it all day. Not just from the fans, online. Everybody kind of hates Patrick Cantlay. And so I think he was overcome at the moment and just forgot that. Oh, yeah. These two guys, these these two dudes have to putt still. So he knew what he was doing in a way to like, like, you know, be present in Rory's pre shot routine.

But I don't think he did anything that warrants rory getting so angry outside after it's like it's okay dude you guys are in a commanding lead you're giving us a little bit of edge for the first time in this entire rider cup sure and you guys still have the momentum because i think we actually gave them more momentum after like everything started to settle yeah um they hey they used it as fuel bulletin board material put up in a little golf locker room on the bulletin board And should we be paying these guys? I? Don't care. I mean, what are any of them getting paid? Why was it can't lay the one who did the no hat thing because he's he's the one he's the only one that's angry

Everyone else is like oh I can probably parlay like my Ryder Cup appearance into some endorsement deals for that's my life Oh and also, I think everyone should get paid just fyi like i i am very much i think that like these these competitions i don't even care if it's if it was ten thousand dollars it's just something what's the entity that would pay them i don't know i don't i have no clue maybe the the probably the rider cup who's collecting you know fair millions of dollars of tickets like i don't like fair i don't know i don't actually know but yeah if the rider cup is selling you know millions of dollars for the tickets then they seem like you could just give the players something so that they don't get it but it's um kate lee's also very you're gonna you're gonna have to forgive me for not really caring that um patrick can't lay who's what are his career earnings my computer froze otherwise i'd look it up but i'm gonna say it's what 20 mil 67 million it's it's relative i mean this is this is their trade like this is

their livelihood like it's a job like at the end of the day it is a job i know but i can argue both ways i can argue both ways when you're representing your country i think that there's part of me that's like you're you're you're doing what you do for work you should always get paid but then there's a part of me that's like you like you're representing your country people would die to do this and like you should just be excited to do that it is it is a bad look i think to not to not do the hat it's a form of protest but once you start like they also have to go over there for like scouting purposes for like whatever they have to do a lot of other like team adjacent events and i understand why you would feel like you need to get paid to do these marketing

things you don't come out of pocket for like travel do you yeah you do really well that's what the pga tour you come out of pocket for all travel i knew that yeah i think maybe radhika might be like okay we're not gonna pay you but we'll put you up in this like hotel and cover you know i wish we had the no laying up boys on retainer right now so we could just holler at them but yeah i i don't really know but yeah that would make sense i've always like because like the whole conversation about the u.s women's national team getting paid like if they just said instead like hey we're not paying anybody anymore i'd be like you know what fuck those guys like fuck our our men's team who can't get past anything like let's either not pay everybody

across the board and just say that representing your country is your form of payment yeah or just pay everyone something even if it's small but i don't care either way especially about can't lay who's apparently made way more than anything that dave and i ever thought based on what we just googled he's not missing many meals and he's doing okay for himself i just i'm sad that we didn't get i was hoping we could get some fisticuffs i was hoping we could get like an on-course fight that always gets the blood going you know i think lakava wipes rory yeah no i don't know rory's rory's a beast but like lakava's got that he's got that that big man strength through lakava lakava's big new york strength it's true okay rory is like actually works out strength rory's not it's like a little bigger than me

maybe even 5'8 how's rory gonna let a caddy get that much in his head great question like rory to me it's like he's the dog of dogs on tour right now and i don't understand how a caddy can can rile him up as much as he was riled up especially after he walked off the green i believe pga of america would be the entity that would pay in theory okay so that's never happening um i don't know i like i don't i don't care like i i do see the argument i get you know want to be compensated for like scouting trips and but it's like man you uh be compensated for like scouting trips and but it's like man you uh it was just lame in the interview afterward when they asked him about it like no the hat just doesn't fit okay dude

then x-man went no hat yesterday as a jt jt uh might have done too many hat off motions yeah it was people on... I saw people. We're a little annoyed by JP. I was like, can he not see the scoreboard anywhere? Because if he knew where we currently stand, he wouldn't be doing this right now. It's not hyping anyone up.

Jon Rahm said on Tuesday, I don't have to get paid to come here and perform in front of people, to be honest. And kind of the book on it is like team europe they've got a better locker room they're closer way more chemistry and they don't do it to get paid whereas classic america we want to get paid that's how it looks can't way has to go all the way to italy to play a little golf oh and not make any money off of it i didn't realize

he wasn't well liked it was because i mean i think this is all from the the masters when he took forever well his there's been a number of things but yeah he's he is slow and punchable face yeah yeah he's got kind of a dork gene to him i mean if he does if he like if he's so strapped for cash right now why doesn't he just start like a shopify store wouldn't that just be easier for him really good he's got strapped for cash right now, why doesn't he just start a Shopify store? Wouldn't that just be easier for him? Really good idea. He's got the audience for it, I would assume. I don't know. A while ago, we were like, you know what?

We got to sell some stuff for Washed Media. How are we going to do this? And you know what we did? We decided to start an online store. We did that through Shopify.

Yeah. Dave, you got a golf trip coming up.

I'm not getting paid for this. I'm actually paying to go on it. That's annoying, dude. I'm sorry, man. Yeah, yesterday I did something that really kicked off my week and it's got me like my vibes up. I did the pre-golf trip prep, meaning I did an

inventory of what clubs I'm bringing. I, um, I have not cleaned them yet, but I will be cleaning them probably tomorrow night. Cause tonight'll be more of a spooky season, uh, prep night. But, um, I also got on Amazon, ordered some, some supplies, ordered a couple extra gloves. That's a good move. That's a good move. I checked the weather because there was a chance of thunderstorms. What glove do you go with? I'm a Titleist, left-handed glove, medium.

That's my go-to. Damn, we're glove twins. Really? I've been going the all-white Titleist lately. That's what I went with. Yeah. They're nice. They're clean. Yeah've been going the all white titleists lately that's what i went with yeah they're nice they're clean yeah i like the all white i actually have a black one now that i use really it's kind of swag but you have two gloves yeah two black ones so you're like the nunzio and caddyshack there you go sick very cool um and yeah i i hopped onto my big weather app

check the forecast and it's looking a lot better. It's looking like perfect. Like Sunday, the Sunday round will be like high of 71. That really changes the entire vibe of a trip like that. There's been, so we're doing it. We do it every year in East Texas.

We're doing, um, pine dunes, which is out. Oh, I don't know. Frankston way, just South of Tyler.

East Texas through them pines. Uh, it's a great spot. And we stay right there. It's not like a resort by any means. They've got like, I would say, souped up trailers that we all stay in. But nice. Are you glamping? Not really glamping.

I'll take a photo. Trailers may not be the – it's temporary housing just uh just off the course dude's glamping i guess i am kind of glamping it's all right do you have like a room do you have like a side room that you're like doing this all in we have a front room of our place where we just kind of store a bunch of crap whether it's fritz's toys or my golf clubs or our peloton and i just like before going and playing whether it's Fritz's toys or my golf clubs or our Peloton. And I just like before going and playing, whether it's the night before a round in Austin or before going out of town, I just like set my clubs up and I'm just tinkering. I'm opening up every pocket, cleaning the stuff out,

checking out like maybe consolidating my ball markers all into one little like plastic bag that I probably got from Dylan. Yeah. Okay. What's up? Okay. what's up okay what's up uh yeah i do it i do it over um i just do it in the living room after roads goes to sleep i just bring the bag out and i'm like here we go get ready sally always looks at me like i'm nuts when i when i start like taking all the balls out and start marking them before i put them in the bag. I'm like, I got to do it now. I don't like doing it on the course.

No. I'm not going to rifle through my bag trying to find a permanent marker. I'm going up. So after the live stream, we have a Thursday night football live stream. Too much dip. This Thursday, 630 Central. Special guest, Eddie, our Sooner friend. What are you all getting chugs?

That is great. Dude, he committed to the one after this, but then he texted me on Saturday. He said he's going to be really drunk that day. Is El Prez doing that thing where he doesn't want barstool people coming on wash stuff? He blended on just being too drunk,

but there might be something else going on there. Barstool chugs, if you want on, you still got a spot for you. You got an open spot. So I'm going to head up to my parents' place Thursday night, stay the night there, and then make the drive early Friday morning because the drive from Austin to Tyler stinks, and I don't want to do it at night.

It's kind of a lot of ranch road, farm roads, and I'm just like, yeah, I'll just stay the night, get a good night's sleep, and go up early in the morning um so playing two rounds friday two round saturday one round sunday the the first round friday i may or may not play it's optional it's a practice round i might just chip and putt huh it's a lot of golf it is but it's there's only one unless you play the practice round there's only one individual round so you do an individual round based on that, based on handicap. You draft for a two-man scramble on Saturday. Sounds fun as fuck.

It is. Do you have your QZ polo combinations ready to go? So I was not anticipating it being as cool. So I've got to do an inventory tonight of QZs. I've got about, I don't know, eight rowbacks to choose from. So that will be a big player tonight. Do you think the rowback crew using backer 20 for 20% off, do you think the new rowback crew will make the cut?

I'm going to wear that. I'm going to have it. That'll be like my morning coffee, like get up, stretch a little bit, put on the crew, walk out there. Are you bringing any – I mean, this is just the close to be 37 year old in me asking these questions. Do you have your mini Theragun all charged up? Do you have your Bluetooth speaker charged up, David? Got to charge both of those things. I've got to get a bottle of Advil and put it in the bag, maybe in the dop kit. Do you have any liquid IV in the bag? Liquid IV already in

the dop kit. I just leave it in there. And I've even got some in the golf liquid iv already already in the dop kit i just leave it in there and i've even got some in the golf bag it's huge have you been foam rolling uh yeah i do it every night i do stretching in man okay i one year i brought uh this is really lame but one year i brought my yoga mat not to do yoga but just to stretch there's nothing weird about that i mean with this group don't don't get yoga mat shame dude i got they got some eye rolls, but you know what, man? I'll be 40 next year. Yeah, but three years from when they made fun of you, they're all going to be doing it and being like,

damn, Dave was ahead of the game. My back hurts after one round of golf. Dude, three or four in two days. My side, my oblique right now is very sore, and I wanted to go hit tonight, but... I don't know what the muscles are that are like kind of, you know, inside of your shoulder blades, but lining your spine.

Dude, I've been down bad lately. I've been foam rolling every single night. No, it's on the inside of your back. He's a trap god. I don't know. No one's called me a trap god. That sounds fun, man. You must be mistaking me as someone else.

No one's ever called me trap god. I'm pretty excited. The weather has really, really turned it up a notch i thought we were i was like looking at rain gear because i don't have good rain gear and i was but looks like that's out of the forecast at the moment so i'm happy missing acl but worth it are you bringing your dunkin donuts bluetooth speaker yes that's that has been a game changer okay just making sure just making sure i'm trying to go through any other pre-golf trip things that we need you to think about because i don't want

you to to be doing this weekend and fun and then just like kick yourself you know yeah cleaning the clubs that's it i don't do much tinkering with like the you know like de-lofting my my driver i've got i've got a you. Have you laminated the PDF? Just in case? I have, yeah. I'm watching. I've got the PDF, Brett's PDF. And then I'm also, I'm just doing the smart thing and I'm watching every YouTube tutorial I can find

and just getting as many swing thoughts in my head as possible before I go. There you go. I want to be standing over the ball thinking about like eight different things. That's good. So we're going low. Going in with that 11.9

handicap love that highest it's ever been on this trip for me so love that for you pretty stoked what's your handicap dylan god i think it's around like a six right now he's also colorblind okay i'm colorblind consider that a handicap i don't know some people yeah just make fun of my disabilities i think technically you probably would qualify as being i don't know. Some people. Yeah, just make fun of my disabilities. I was pointing it out. I think technically you probably would qualify as being... I don't know. You're already parking the handicap spot here. Sure. Without a pass.

Yeah, by just fine. Just can't see coders that well, you know? But my golf game stinks, baby. Stinks. That's okay. How many times will you play golf between now and 2024? Zero. With the weather, dude. Zero? Yeah. I don't play... I don't really... I don't you play golf between now and 2024? With the weather, dude.

Zero? Yeah. I don't really play golf. I hope our friends that invite us to play golf sometimes will hear that. No, look. Backtrack. Whenever intern Klein comes to town. If I go on a trip, it's not for the golf.

It's for the boys? Yeah, it's for the boys. Of course. That's why I play golf at this point is to hang out. With the golf. It's for the boys? Yeah, it's for the boys. Of course. That's why I play golf at this point, is to hang out. With the boys. Yeah. Hey, people are probably going to be upset that we didn't do Sphere Talk today, but Wednesday we're talking Sphere.

Sphere Talk. I mean, I can talk Sphere right now if you want me to. We're going to talk some Sphere. Were we technically early on Sphere Talk? Can we talk Sphere, actually? Yeah, let's talk Sphere. I want to talk Sphere. Okay.

Did you see all the videos? Was your algorithm as friendly to you this weekend as it was to me? I've seen exactly one video. Oh, there's been a million videos on my timeline, probably because I was the one who already brought this up. This place looks insane. I want to go to the Vegas Sphere so bad right now. Every video that came out of there from the U2 concert, I guess you would call it.

I guess people were not calling it a concert. They were calling it something else because they weren't technically playing the entire time. I don't fucking know. What were they doing? I don't know. Probably just watching the new Sphere thing go. We reported on this not long ago, and I'm actually surprised that more people didn't realize that the Sphere is a concert venue. There were a lot of people on the timeline being like i thought this was just

like a fancy billboard the i think a lot of people thought that how much are tickets to something like this dave what are we messing with here um there's no bad seat in this place all right this is actually cool as hell i'm looking at stuff now this is better than i. So if you want to go October 8th, so this weekend, and see U2, you can get two tickets for, I mean, Section 311, sick, $532 each, which that is expensive, don't get me wrong. But for Vegas and for the Sphere and with the buzz it has, I thought for sure this would be like a $2,000 ticket. That is far cheaper than it was to see Taylor Swift in Las Vegas. And it's way cheaper than what Adele cost in Las Vegas at this point. Also need to point out, I could totally see myself taking a microdose of something and being just overwhelmed in there. And having to just like sit down and calm down.

How many people are just crying in the spirit because they're like, I didn't expect this to be so overwhelming and I took drugs tonight. It's overwhelming looking at it on my phone. Yes. It looks incredible. Like, I want to go to a show here so bad. Do it. No, I'm not going to go see U2. I like the emojis they're putting on the outside of the sphere.

Well, if you could control the sphere for a night, what are you putting on the outside? I'm making it El Glisadente's head. No one wants to see that. I think they do. People would be so confused. No, they'd be like, wow, they're doing political advertisements. I'd do this emoji. I'm doing pixelated Brett.

That'd be good. That'd be good. I'm really testing out the sphere's capabilities. Yeah, people would think it was malfunctioning. No, see, it's a paradox. Is there anything you could put on the Vegas sphere that you could freak people out with that didn't realize it was the sphere? Is this causing car accidents?

When we were there, there were a lot of people, I think the term is rubbernecking, as we were going by it. It wasn't, there were no accidents, but that little area of Vegas, every time I'm in it, is bad traffic anyway. I bet people who have,

what's it, I forgot the word anyway. I bet people who have, what's it? I forgot the word. You lose your balance? Lose your balance? Oh, vertigo? Vertigo. I bet you they can't really spend much time in this thing. Isn't that song called Vertigo?

I think so. You know what I mean? I bet you that really fucks with them. You think anyone's been rear-ended looking at the sphere? Well, I'm seeing a guy inside who's looking up and he's kind of like, he's kind of doing one of those. He's kind of like falling back. He has to kind of catch himself

and just maybe think of the vertigo. Oh yeah, I'm sure that like the way that it moves, if you start like looking and going up and suddenly you're like, oh, I think it could happen to anybody. Oh my God. If you went into this hungover, you'd be done, right?

Like if you're like hungover, hungover, like day two bachelor party and you go to the sphere it's does it help or hurt it's got to overwhelm you and just kill you right i don't i i want to be 100 the first time i enter the sphere i want to be ready to go i'm behind op i want to be ready to go me and the boys at the sphere sober who do you want to see i mean like i think the bands that i want to see will never sniff the sphere you don't think that turnstile is going to do a sphere wide mosh pit i really i don't think they would i don't think so i'll be kind of sick though who would be i mean who's a band that has

like i guess we need a full catalog didn't go as like the light, but I don't know how that jives with The Sphere. That's the thing. It's going to be interesting to see if any jam bands like really crush it, which Phish has been the one band that is jam adjacent that has been, you know, rumored to be here. It's been like you two and Phish

have been the people that have been really rumored. But like, I think that... I saw someone say that Coldplay would just fuck this place up, and I think I agree. Like, I know that there's the connotation of liking Coldplay. They got heaters. I do think Coldplay would fuck shit up there.

What do you have, Randy? Speaking of distracted driving, have you seen the view from the golf course in Vegas? Whoa. Oh, my God. Can you imagine trying to play? Is that the WEN golf course? It'd be so much fun to hit a bomb straight into the sphere

and just see if you can knock any lights out. How many people are hitting bombs into the sphere? No one. They are, dude. They definitely are. That's crazy. You probably couldn't reach it with your distance. Get the fuck out of here. You probably hit the hotel like 60 yards to the left.

You can't even keep it on the strip brother yeah i throw a football over the sphere yeah i mean i would i would feel more comfortable with you throwing a football over the sphere than hitting a golf ball into it oh dylan okay i want to go um if you want to sit in section 208 row 12 you're looking at about 2k for a seat so there you go this place i feel like a nosebleed in this place is just as good as spending double and sitting in the section in front of it. I think I'd rather just sit in the nosebleed for half the price. Based on my limited experience viewing the sphere on my phone, I would say section 2 or 3 would be the ideal place. Yeah, section 1.

Low section 3 looks lit. I don't want to be front row no being front row is a miss in this in this opportunity here also some of the back uh chairs in the 100 level like you can't see the full sphere you can't see the ceiling yeah i went to an imax thing one time and some of our employees decided to uh just be late and we thought we had assigned seating and i just don't want that to happen again. Yeah. Yeah, they just took their time for some weird reason. Yeah. What were they doing?

Yep. What were y'all doing? Eating pizza? Screwing it all up for everybody. You guys got great seats. Brett and I had to go sit in the front. We could have all had really good seats. We didn't have great seats.

We had acceptable seats. They're acceptable. Who's next at the Sphere? I don't know. Isn't it all you two for the next little bit? Yeah that's all you too yeah i'm not getting excited for you too i mean bro i like some of their stuff like uh joshua tree but uh oh depeche mode wait what's mind to mind play simple minds plus youtube plus depeche mode i don't know dave that's also in belgium i don't fucking know i'm sorry don't know, Dave. That's also in Belgium. I don't fucking know. I'm sorry. Don't listen to anything I say.

We can go in March. I will be going to the Sphere within the next year. I don't doubt that. I think I can make that happen pretty easily. Alright, guys. It's been fun. It's been fun. Spooky season is upon us. Can't wait for spooky season. Everyone knows this. Spookiest season yet.

Don't be an idiot. Bye. is upon us. Can't wait for spooky season. Everyone knows this. Spookiest season yet. Don't be an idiot. Don't be an idiot. Bye.
