Don't, no, I don't want to know. Just move on. Thanks for coming by, though. Good refreshing starts of the morning. Didn't bring Guinness. Because we need so much. We have no room for beverages. We're beverageed out.

Surplus. Randall Turnbaki producing. Hi, Dave. I'm here. I am ready to podcast. And I'm also here. Yesterday, we did, on Patreon, circling back on touching pace, the old show. And it was very fun. We listened to some

old audio, some old animal audio, I was talking about animals. It's more exciting than that, but you know, if you know, you know. It was gas. We heard the origins of Viper. If you know at some point, like Will told us, he used to be called Viper. We heard that. And that was total accident. You didn't know we were even getting that, right? No, because I think we talked about Viper on a previous episode of circling back on Touching Bay. So like to hear him mention it back in 2016 was quite interesting. Also heard oral producer Micah who was, you know, did some things that really made Micah who we, like Michael Micah, such as walking out of the show to take a call or something. We told some cringy jokes that we're not proud of. Well, it was you.

I told some cringy jokes that I'm not proud of. I was got, I was off for a, I don't want to to just give the whole segment away. I was offering up animal facts as if like I was like a biologist. Like you're an expert. Like a why I was like and I was doing it very confidently and I think it was accurate information. It was just like why was that why was I doing that? Why was I trying to sound smart? Who knows? Here's the guy who sounds smart. Dylan Schivry, his second intro of the day. I've decided to get parks an elbow guard for baseball like the, you know, the Velcro one that pretty much everyone wears at the, you know, big league in college level. Which elbow was?

It was the inside. It was this one. I was trying to think logistically how he got. He kind of jumped back like that when the pitch was coming, and it just caught this elbow, which you don't see too often. His back elbow. But I think a little protection, we'll give him some more confidence in the box, kind of stay in there, you know. Yeah, that's always been your move.

Tucker. Because back when you played high school, you were a good hitter, you would always, you kind of crowded the plate a little bit, so you had to wear that stuff. I was telling him I did miss a game because I got hit right here. right on this bone. And it, like, my, just dead. I couldn't lift my arm. So I missed a game. And my first game back, I got hit on the exact same place.

And so my coach went and bought me a, uh, an elbow guard. I wore it. And I, did you feel more confident at the plate? And I made first team all district. How about that? Confident in the box there. Catch him right feel.

How about that? You can't make box jokes when talking about my kid, dude. What the fuck? You're fucking dirtbag. I didn't even do anything. You're a scummy dirtbag. We know what you did. Randy,

it's not clocking to me, Randy. Will you help me out? I don't, I don't know. We're going to have to pull the tape on that. I feel like nobody was thinking it except for the guy he went there.

I'm just going to change the subject because it's getting really weird in here. And Dave, I would just like to wish you a happy Earth Day because you're my world. Oh, that's nice. Bet you feel stupid. I guess also starts submitting, if you haven't ready, your dating app stories for dating app week next.

Good, good thinking. Good tinking there. Email, Dave at washmedia.com. What is dating? What is it? Dating app week. I guess we could just have dating in general, but dating apps, there's a lot of wild stuff. You want to keep it apps?

Yeah. I think that there's a lot of good content. I'm sure there's people that have screenshots in their camera all of some ridiculous profile they saw. Sinatra screenshots. Some messages. Davidwashmedia.com or you can just call in and leave a voicemail 888618-48-44-22. Coincidentally or not, that's where we take voicemails for listener voicemails,

which will record later today. I've already fielded a number of them. Is that right? That's right. And they're good. Can't wait for that. That drops every Friday, listener voicemails. Every freaking Friday, dude.

You're off to just a blazing start over here. I've just, I got my Dave anti-starter pack items just ready to rip. I'm excited for it. You're gonna, you're gonna, you're gonna, you're gonna, you're gonna like what you hear. Okay. Might not. Some of it's just making fun of you. I don't care, dude.

Yeah. Oh, you don't care? No, I don't give a fuck, dude. That's a thing about me. Put that on the starter pack. Dave, caring. Caring. Nope.

Couldn't be me. Yeah, you guys nailed it. Not or did you? I don't care either way. Okay. I got one of these pouches in up here. You're pouched up? Oh, one of the ultras?

I'm not going to tell you, but I do have a pouch up here. It's an ultra. You have no clue what it is. I'm tired of you assuming things. You put the ass in assuming. I'm pretty... You're damn right, I do. I'm cheeked up a little bit.

I'm not Randy's status, but I got cheeks back there. My cheeks have diminished. Yeah, we've noticed, dude. I know. Are you zamping? We mean and to talk to you. Oh, I just haven't been working out legs. Randy heard my knee pop earlier

Hey, when your birthday came and went recently, I looked for that picture and I can't find it. So if you have it, you sent it to me? I might have it somewhere. I'm surprised we don't have it

on the aura frame. Well, it belongs. He's hanging something in the studio. Ah, a calendar. It's his backside from here to his ankle, I think. And it's just all ass, really. It's just cheek.

Cheeks. He fills those. jeans out, man. All right, man. We got the, you don't have to paint the picture. You asked me. That's what I do. I paint pictures, man. Have you ever painted a picture? Yeah.

I was the one painting pictures yesterday. It's been probably 30 years, but yeah. Now you're painting pictures? Yes, everyone's a painter now. Or is that one famous one? Bango. I went to the Van Gogh Museum. I went to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.

Y'all never been there. That's cool. That was a cool. What was your face? Ooh, the bedroom. That checks out. The bedroom. Did he paint somebody sipping this coffee in the bed?

No. Watch a good morning America. It was a very basic setup. Were you watching a today show? Have a new coffee. It was a very basic bedroom setup, but it was very colorful. And I believe it sold for $117 million. What?

And I was just feet from it. Just like, man, I could just tuck that thing under my arm and just be out of here. here real fast. One of the, what? A heist? Yeah. No way. One of the funniest, like, Will, he told me, like, just an annoying thing that happened

on the internet, a comment on Sunday Scaries was, are you guys familiar with the Van Gogh here? The, like, skeleton smoking a cigarette? No, that's sick. So he just, so he just put this one on Slams Laptop shut and someone like comment on like, so we're just not going to tag the artist. And like, Will was just talking to me, he's like, it's Van Gogh. How am I supposed to tag Van Gogh? That's a Van Gogh.

That's very atypical of Van Gogh style. Are you sure about that? I think so. But look that up. Yeah. Early work by Vincent Van Gogh. Did not know that. That's a dope.

That's dope. What year? Winter of 1885. Why didn't he tag Van Gogh? He's just so funny. He's like, how am I supposed to tag Van Gogh? It's Vincent Van Gogh. That's so stupid.

I would have guessed Van Gogh. in the 1700s so i would have been wrong about that yeah you had been wrong but just yeah shouts to will if you're if you're watching live right now that doesn't seem like something the vango would paint but then again i'm not as to i'm more of a renaissance man he painted a lot of poverty that this is just a lot of poverty a skeleton rip and a sig this looks like something that he will would have like as a This is like a dead and co thing. He lived in poverty, David.

He didn't become well known for his artwork until he had passed on. That's sad. It is, man. Are you one of those believers, like a lot of people that, if he hadn't done the ear thing, like he would have had no recognition? No, I'm not one of those people at all. There's a lot of people are saying that. I don't, people are stupid.

It was a grand gesture. Dude, I had a, I posted from the museum, I showed some artwork and people were like, well, that's not all. personal fucking impressive or right shit to fuck shit the fuck really

it's literally Vincent Van Gogh VVG Starry Night top to most well known artist ever him and Leo

I don't know about that I think Picasso and Van Gogh are probably 1A 1B no who what you got

Da Vinci Rinwa Da Vinci Da Vinci Davinchi yeah Donatelo Raphael.

You're just listening Ninja Turtles. Okay, so he named him after the Renaissance painters. Ma' Michelangelo did the Sistine Chapel. Or as you called it famously on the show, the 16 Chapel. Yeah, he did the other 15. They wouldn't let me in because I had shorts on. That's the funniest thing ever. It's not that funny.

Oh, man. Wait, hold on. Let's check with the studio audience. What the heck? I came all this way. It was like 88 degrees outside. They were so hot. They were like, no, you gotta have pants.

Like, you show up wearing chubbies? I got to have pants on and walk through the freaking Vatican. Yeah, because it's a holy site. Yeah. Don't worry about it. We can crime over there anyways, so. Yeah, he's, we go on crime. Different Pope, though, right? Sistine Chapel is very, you never didn't get to see it, but it's very impressive.

That's why I try to get in. I wanted to get my eyes on it. You're like, man, I'm going to put on my best chubbies, and I'm going to pull up, man. They're going to let me see it, dude. I might even sneak a pick. I didn't have chuppies on for the record. You fucking had, you had something with a liner in it. Some Cardinal came out and you were like, what?

The sky's out, thighs out. Like, what are you talking about? David Freeze walked out. Let a player walk through the Sistine Chapel with shorts on. Let him show a little calf. It's not a big deal. The bishop's like, sir, please put those chicken legs away. Oh.

I consider just popping into a shop and buying some pants, but I didn't see. I probably would have. You went all that way. There was a business idea. a pants store right outside the Vatican. Come get your pants, man. Pants, hell! Get your pants, dog.

You know? Get your pants. Just some cheapos, like some $20 pants. Joseph A. Banks. Just get you through the day. Buy one pair, get 18 free. I'm going to write that down. No one to take my idea.

Hold on. Do it the way you normally do it. Put your legs up. Yeah, put your little cookout legs. I don't do cookout legs, y'all. book that would have been i think you have to i think you have to buy some pants that's a testament to you for it's a testament to how unholy you are the fact that you didn't do that but that's who you are you know yeah next time i next time i go i'll be sure and bring pants

make sure that they don't have a liner okay they don't let you wear liner pants they don't check for liner when you walk they do you do They do now. Whoa, whoa, whoa, sir. It's like the Masters. You can't wear five pocket bags. You can't come in. And also, don't pull up with the, the rag and bone combination with sweatpants jeans.

They would have no idea. Yes, they would. That's what I'm wearing. They would have no idea right now. Yeah, don't. More than the last two days. Don't pull up to the Vatican. Aren't they so great?

They're my everyday pants. They're my office pants. They're my Vatican pants. Your producer pants. I'll tell you what. Fair Harbor's been my thing lately. I love Fair Harbor. The seasonal stuff.

who's locked in. Dude, I'm reading. Where's Mitch? Get that Mitch guy back here. Should he come sit in for me? He was hungover. He told me. He was.

He said he got banged up last night. Not to out him, but dude was down bad. Yeah, good for him, man. He didn't puke in our sink, though. The anti- Starter Pack. Remember when somebody puked in the sink? I was the one who had to fill the squad in.

I was like, y'all aren't going to believe what just happened here. It's really funny that Brett reminded me of something yesterday before I left, that the reason that person had to do that is because he was oxygen. occupying the place that you would normally go to throw off. He was mashing that Mondo button. That's a funny thing I forgot about. We had a Mondo and a vomit situation going on simultaneously. Yeah, no wonder we got so many plumbing issues.

All right. You don't have any plumbing issues. Go ahead, Dorn. All right, it's the anti-starter pack for one, David Carter Ruff. What is anti-starter pack? My co-hosts right here. Okay, yeah, good question. So a starter pack, things, items that represent who you are as a person.

Okay, anti, just like it sounds, is the opposite of that. Things that don't represent what you're about. Stop what you're doing. I hate that face. I'm just engaging with the pot. I hate that face. What face were you doing? Just go ahead.

It's not what I was doing. Why are you chin maxing? Okay, keep going. Sorry, I'll stop. And Randy and I have put together some, and we're going to share them with the class. He's still doing it. I can't wait. You know, I slept really good last night because of a new old sponsor.

And I woke up this morning just very excited to hear what you guys had. Are you starting to read or you? No, I'm just, I didn't, we don't, the reads don't start yet. We do have Lisa today. No, no, no. Let's just say something that's a little early. That's good. And maybe flies.

Got it, got it. Gets the worm. Got it, got it. Okay. I'm ready to go. May I lead off? You know what? I'll allow it.

Time out, time out. Let me spit my pouch. Oh, okay. I guess we'll put that on there. Just being ready for his big day. Well, I wanted to, I'm sorry. I just didn't want that. I didn't want to.

Okay. I was pouch maxing. The whole thing. Being in the office to greet listeners when they tell them they're stopping by. Yeah. I assume that was the one that you told me before. I will also put, I will cross off.

for mine, informing others slash being around for backers. Dave, Dave's like, they've been communicating with the backer for like three days because they're going to be in town. They're going to stop by. And then he'll shoot us a text from the gym. He's like, hey, by the way, a listener's about to stop by. We're like, okay. I don't think that ever.

Then Dave shows up two hours later. It's like, all right, we'll just, I guess we'll just greet this person. We don't have any context here. I know. Well, I don't really think, I feel like that nobody needs context. if a listener comes by. Yeah, but you should probably, if you're the one communicating with them,

you should probably be here. Okay, in my defense, outside of Randy, and probably will, and Brett, really, I'm the only one who responds. That's why they message me. I think there was one that was one of the early ones, first ones, when it was like a guy that, I don't even know if he was a listener,

he was just like a friend of yours or something like that. Like, he had kind of like known you through some different channels, and then like he came by. Who wasn't? I can't. You know what I'm talking about that. Was it a machine?

Because I was here for machine. It's like a month ago. Machine Gunn Kelly came through here? No, Mike Marshall. Of course, the original machine. No. Okay. In my defense again,

Dr. Bernacki, my dermatologist, he told me one time that he he told me y'all were wronging me on this. I don't know if he's the one that we're referring to, but there has been some. But I just figure like, I don't know.

The one we're referring to? If a listener comes by, I feel like it's not that difficult to interact with them. No, it's not. It's humorous more than anything. I genuinely, I want to know who Randy's talking about. Yeah, because it wasn't like really a listener. It was like someone that you had been like networking with or something like that. That's funny.

Just some guy from LinkedIn? I don't know. Something like that. We're like, oh, okay. It's probably from the guy from the ringer. who was trying to poach me Bill, I think his name was okay

guy loves soup okay that's a good one Randy that was one that I okay when I was doing these in my head that was one that was on there okay I have some just some bit ones but I'll do one that's just dog poop in his trash can

that isn't his right for context I do take, I don't like it when people haven't had this problem lately, but when people would put their dogs poop in my trash can whilst it was out on the curb. Even if there's already trash in there? No, that doesn't bother me as much. It's a trash comes Monday. Trash is gone.

The cans are out there all day. I live by the rule that if there's trash in there already, it's not going to hurt that they'll poop in there. But if it's an empty trash can, that's sorry. You can't do that. That's a major offense. If there's not trash in there, like the guys already came through and I'm just not home to bring my trash up. You put poop in there.

I think that's a bad move. You want to hear a more egregious thing, Dave? Yes. So this isn't my story. It's a different podcast I listen to, Dungeons and Daddies. One of the host was telling a story how she's going to be moving out of her apartment and that, like, people were coming by and see it. Like, the landlord had it. And like, this couple came through with their dog.

And the dog, like, came into her, into their apartment. And she's like, no, like, I have cats. You can't bring the dog in here. And so they left the dog outside with somebody. And then they took the dog poop and threw it away in her kitchen trash can. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Inside her. That's unbelievable.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is too egregious to believe. This is, there's no way this happened. Dude, it's crazy. She, like, was like, this is, it was, I didn't know what to do. In the indoor trash can. Bring him the dog inside is bad enough. You don't just show up with a dog.

No. Yeah. That's a weird movie. She lives in L.A. and she was, like, complaining about, like, how dog culture has gotten a little too out of hand over there. And she was like, this was particularly. Was it a tiny dog? It's like their first week on Earth.

Like, that's just egregious lack of everything. Yeah. That's an old touching base bit, by the way, the trash can thing. Yeah. I feel like that was an old school debate we got him. He's imagine. Because I think the general consensus, I feel like Michael was on my side. I feel like you and Will thought I was overreact.

thing because this is back when I lived at my old house, the old one, which I'm trying to find that audio because I found a different dog poop audio from like a next door situation that was going on when I was looking for a circuit. We've got a lot of dog poop stuff come up. So I'm going to try to find that. That's a good one, Randy. I forgot about that. I got one here.

Getting his ski legs under him on the bunny slopes. Okay. That is true. First day of skiing. I've never been on. skis had been on a snowboard but never skis like an hour into skiing and we took you to the terrain park okay so that day so we went to breckinridge a big group of us y'all were like dude dave you're gonna ski our boy at spider hooked it up with a spider ski gear right oh yeah so i looked apart and i was

like i booked a lesson but the lesson wasn't until later the day in the day and somebody was like dude, Dave, just go do the bunny slope. So I put on the skis, the part at the bottom, not on any slope. I was able to like, I kind of picked it up just on a flat surface pretty quick. I was like, okay. So Lily, Will's sister-in-law, who is more advanced than me, but not like a, she's kind of a beginner too, like kind of a medium skier, I guess. I don't know. We got on the lift and it's like, we're going to go to a basic one. So I went and I totally didn't think about the part of getting off of the chair. on skis. And I didn't realize that was going to be a thing.

And I got off of that thing and didn't fall, but that's how I learned. I went down, we did a couple of slopes and then we went to the terrain park and y'all were like, not you. Will's brother-in-law, I was like, dude, you're fine. It's a terrain park. It's not that bad. It was that bad. It was very steep.

And there was people, somebody did a backflip over me. And I pizzaed the whole way down the damn mountain and my quads were just flame. Yeah. So I went and drank Guinness after that and didn't ski again. That's sick, though. It was sick. It was a great time. I didn't get hurt.

I had some good falls, though. But skiing was fun. I liked it. I would do it again. But you're right. That was not the way to go about it. Don't do that at home. No.

I'll do another good one here before I get into the bit ones. Germs. Dave, Dave is a little bit of a knee freak. He hates germs. Big time. Yeah. That's the thing about me. germophobe sure low key i feel like not even i feel like i'm pretty it's pretty obvious about you know

i've i've become a bit of a germophobe myself i don't it's just i don't like with the kids two kids two boys under five it's like a lot of germs daycare germs like that you know i always like that before kids though i've always been we got the hands sandy there yeah If you go eat lunch with me or eat dinner with me, I'm probably, if it's a handheld food, I'm going to the bathroom before the food gets there to wash my hands. I am now too.

If I'm gonna be- Which is a little excessive. It's probably a little excessive, you know? I don't think that excessive. I don't know. I think COVID really changed my hand washing habits because I was like, everyone was washing hands you're supposed to do.

I'm like, yeah, this is kind of annoying, but it's like probably just also good practice to just be washing my hands more than I normally am. And now I'm kind of like overthinking washing my hands. I got a 24-hour full-body explosion stomach bug in college. And ever since then, I became like a super hand washer. It's re-a-time. Oh, it's bad, dude.

It was one of the ones where you're like, yeah, this is, this is going to be like, this is, I'm not going anywhere. I cannot leave my home. Okay, who's up? Done. Low sugar option synachros. You're sugar maxing. We're sugar max in here at the stew, man.

I feel like you're, I feel like that. I think it's just a retaliation from yesterday. I know. I feel like I don't buy like high sugar. I'm not buying like candy. I was actually going to put on here like just normal snacks because like you very rarely get like name brand like snacks that everyone knows. Like Welch's.

Dude, Randy, have you tried the honey barbecue sun chips? No. I saw actually... They are unreal. I'm pretty sure when... They've seen those. When Dave and I were getting snacks for the Airbnb when we were in Dallas,

I saw a bag of them, but I'm like, oh, I'm not going to take the risk. Let's just get gone to... Chalz brought some home, and I was... Expectations were low. They're unbelievable. Wait, what other flavors are there

that I don't know about? Because I only know... There's harvest cheddar. Sour cream. Or French onion. Garden salsa, which are also gas. And the regular ones, as far as I know,

Honey Barbecue is the only other flavor. I had no idea. I think it's a new one. Dude, they're so... So they don't have those at Costco. Dude, because I always wonder if I should get like, in lieu of the sun chips,

should I just get the Lays Costco box? It has like the, you know, the traditional chips. I don't know. I feel like I'm going to get flamed. I don't know. I just... Sun chips are...

I like Sunships. It just sucks. Will does not. The Sunships one is, well, Will doesn't like it. And also, we're only going to really eat two thirds of the box

because no one really wants to eat the original sun chips. I've eaten them and it's not good. It is. They're pretty plain. So like, flavorless. I'd be fine with you guys,

you trying up a new, a chip variation box. Next time you get a chance to buy the honey barbecue ones. Let me know. I will. Now I'm going to go out of my way because I want to know.

But as far as the low sugar options go, dude, it's just, if you go to Costco, they're very repetitive, like with the low sugar options. And like the ones I really liked, I think we all liked,

they stopped they got rid of them so i don't know man but like what do you define high sugar as anything over 10 grams uh yeah yeah yeah so like a glass of milk if you have like a little bit more than a glass of milk that's high should because a glass of milk's nine or 10 a natural sugar doesn't bother me like an added sugar well that's a different conversation yeah for another day yeah Okay. I'm going to say you need to try the backyard barbecue smack in sunflower seeds. They're very different tasting than other barbecue sunflower seeds. Say less.

And I very much enjoy it. So Alyssa, Alyssa, but these muffins, not from Costco. They're like pre-made, like blueberry, organic muffins,

blah, blah, blah. And the kids love them. I hit him with the Yucca app the other day. Uh-oh. Dude, fucking three more. Three percent. No more.

I didn't say anything. I was like, she's going to get... Is it a three out of a hundred? three out of 100. Yeah. And I was like, I'm not even going to say anything because she would just get mad. And like, it would be like a thing.

And I'd be like, you know what? You're right. They're pretty strict graders, which I appreciate. They are. It's like one. Yeah, that's bad. That's bad. And to be fair, they are really good.

But anyway, okay. Ready? Like Otis Spunk Meyer. I would love to know. They're not spunk. Yeah. But they're close. I used to love getting those blueberry muffins.

Here's a kind of off the wall one here, but I think it's pretty good. Snooty. internet comments. If someone makes a comment on Reddit or like a YouTube channel or like TikTok, Dave will flame them for months. It will constantly bring it up. Wait, what? It just reminded me yesterday when we were talking about circling back and touching base when you like point out like clearly someone had said something about like Hannibal talk. It's like you will do that often. I definitely, I definitely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You have to listen to yesterday's Patreon.

Chicken wanton tacos. Oh, yeah, that'll be part. I'll remember that for like five years. Chicken wanton tacos. So, yeah, that's just a very, a very deep cut one that I don't think you even knew. But like, it's very funny that you will just bring something like even bleak ends are pretty much because you called that guy on the Reddit for saying my weekends were bleak. I thought it was an unnecessary shot. All right.

I'm going to stay in the category of food, Brussels sprouts. Yeah, I put her in. I put parentheses. Unfortunately, Brussels sprouts. Yeah, I feel, I feel kind of bad about that. This one has affected my life more than it should because everyone I'm friends with, everyone that I'm married to, likes Brussels sprouts a lot. Yeah.

And if we go to a place and it's almost always when we go to a dope restaurant on like an appetizer menu, some kind of variation. When we were at Jay Carvers, we had Brussels sprouts, and I ordered them for the table, and I felt guilty. I don't care, but it does bum me out. I should try them just to see. If you don't know here, I'll have a little context. 2020? I had this stomach thing where I had like a really bad fever in my stomach.

I had this weird sensation and pain. I had to go to a signature. like a ER care clinic. And it was like right during COVID and they were freaking out and they tested me for COVID. I'm like I don't have any COVID symptoms. But it was like week or probably month five of COVID. They probably got a kickback for testing me for COVID by the way. Anyway, they did a thing.

I had diverticulitis. So round of antibiotics cleared it right up real quick. That being said, Brussels were the culprit because I was eating. We were air frying Brussels sprouts like. twice a week. And I have not had Brussels sprouts since. So it's been six years. And I really like Brussels sprouts because they're really easy. Glaze them with some oil, some honey, throw them in the air fryer, whatever, many ways to do it. And yeah, we'll go, we go to dinner, my wife and I, and I will, like, a lot of times, be like, just get them. I don't care. You eat them.

I want to watch you enjoy them at least. Yeah. Nice. I don't know if this is really one. I feel like it is, but kind of similar to Brussels sprouts. I have broccoli haircuts. I feel like you have a big problem with Gen C haircuts. Maybe that's Dylan, but... I have a big problem with him.

Okay, maybe. But I feel like both of you guys, like, flame that haircut. It piss me off. It does piss me off. Unless they cry and rub tears in that hair to soften it up a bit, I'm out. To call back. Mm-hmm. To yesterday.

I saw a lot of people praising that kid. And a lot of people bullying that kid yesterday. Yeah, I guess it does bug me. And I don't, like, now that, like, my, my nephew's getting to be the age of high school. And I'm like, he's probably, he's going to have that. His friends have that haircut. It's only a matter of time. Seeing it become more prevalent in college basketball, it was like, oh, yeah, these kids have graduated from high school and are in college as they should.

But it was like, working his way into the mainstream. Yeah. Okay. I have one here. Former MAVs GM, Nico Harrison, trading away a generational talent and beloved Dallas figure.

It's not funny. You think it's funny? You're laughing? I feel bad about adding that one. That's good. Beloved Dallas figure. Yeah. I mean,

that's what you said is accurate. Yeah, that is true. That is one. Yeah, if you are a GM who you know, I'd move past it. There was a long time. There was about six months where I thought about it every day. Nice trade, pussy.

Every day, dude. I thought about it every day. I still, I mean, now, I'm like, dude, I get it. Like, literally, literally. I thought, dude, it was like, I would just be driving to work and just like, fuck, I can't believe that happened.

And I'm not, like, I swear to God, that's real. Also, that's probably not a normal thing. So, like, rub it in a bit, like, he's gotten in, like, really good shape, too. Like he's clearly taking his fitness much more seriously since joining the Lakers. They're up to a lot on the Rockets and he hasn't played a minute. Yeah. Anyway.

Is he hurt? Hamstring. Out for the entire playoffs? I don't know. I think he's out for this series. I don't, I feel like if they can get it to a seven, then maybe.

How many more do you have left? I have four, but I wouldn't say they're all strong. Okay, I have four as well. Three of them are kind of just bits. Well, real quick, let me give you a bit of information about our friends at Squarespace.

Much dip. I don't know why that was just so funny to me. Because much of it. Much dip. Much dip. Also clean hub will always get you. I don't understand that. All right, Randy, what you got?

So these, I'll do three of my bits and then I'll save another, my best one for last, I think maybe whatever. Middleman. Oh, God. Gross. They just not like middlemen. If we have an advertiser, potentially, that is a middleman, I'm just like, like we don't need them.

Cut them out. Bye. Nah. We're very against that. You know, I've been on this hill for a long time. We've been trying to cut them out as a show for a decade plus now. Pretty sad. Here's one.

Mowing down his Little League opponent from the pitcher's mound. Okay. Okay. They once got shelled. I wouldn't if you're supposed to be on the mound that day. You got shelled, dude. Yeah, I probably gave up eight. Just serving up meat balls.

Just serving up fucking meatball after meatball. Shout out to OCBF, Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship. They were just teeing off on your shit, dude. Do you ever just like when Rhodes cycles through and it's like on the pitching mound, you just get flashbacks? I know it's, it's, it's, it's t-ball, but like just seeing him up there, just being like, it just takes you back. There's going to come a day where he gets shelled.

I talked to a guy that was. there. He said there was just a puddle of piss around the home plate at the end of that. Is that true? Wait, who's like, because they pissed on the ball or because I pissed myself? They pissed on the ball. Who's that home plate? Two puddles. Sir, a second puddle is a field. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, it probably was. Because here's the deal. This is like first year of kid pitch. So you're just like basically trying to throw strikes. And you know what? I could throw a strike. I just couldn't throw it. I didn't have any movement on my fastball. It was probably 48 miles an hour. Yeah.

Yeah, that's what you wanted to hit her. I was basically throwing BP and they treated it as such. You know what? The guys behind me, they didn't help me out. I'll tell you that. Sometimes you've got to help your pitcher out. Yeah. Make a play.

And they didn't do that. You know what? Of those eight runs, I bet only seven of them were earned. I'll keep on the baseball train here. This is an old, old one. Deep fakes in baseball. i don't okay i've got you have to give me some context that was covid when they were like putting animated like crowds into baseball oh yeah that was terrible you hated that it's true it

it made it worse it made the product worse NBA they had the the screens with people yeah you could pay to have your face just on a screen in the background what a stupid what a stupid thing dude that was a weird time, man. The bubble. Who won the Co? I forgot that they played the Masters in November. They played the Masters in November that year with no gallery. DJ won. Isn't that weird?

It's very weird. November. Yeah. Asterisk or no? No. No, I don't think so. 2020 World Series? It would be interesting.

They played it in Arlington. Okay. Because Corey Seeger has won two World Series in Arlington. And the Lakers won. I don't know about NHL Lakers It was Tampa That was when the stars

Yeah Because Jaybone And Joe Bone And J Bone were going back and forth I think Whatever Okay That's a good one

And that is a bit I completely forgot Okay I have Pizza more than once a week There's no way people Are still doing that Does Zah police out there

The Zocard it should be the gold standard in pizza consumption. It should be, but once a week is enough. Once a week should be enough, yeah. And you wrote the text, if I recall. No, I just interpreted it. Okay. I wish I could take credit for the text, but I did not.

I'm just trying to spread the word. But yeah, they're right. Zocard. We haven't talked Zocard in a while. I'll never, dude, I remember that morning. When I said, I said it out there, I go, dude, I played my Zocard this weekend. And you immediately go, we're not doing Zalkal. And then we did Zocard.

We did Zocard. A lot. And it won. I'm pretty sure. One bit madness. Okay. Any more? Yes, I got two more.

One last bit one. Saving his appetite for the meal when there's chips and salsa. No, that's good. That's like a second round pick right there. That's good one. It mats last week. I don't know if y'all could tell. I was going hard.

Yeah. I was really, you can't help yourself. That's, dude, their salsa, it's so disproportionate. The salsa at y'all's in was fine. The one on Ryan and I's in, me and Ryan's in, whole, it was so spicy. Really? Incredibly spicy.

Didn't make any sense. So almost like they were doing like a social experiment. The heat variance in their salsa is great. Which I respect it because it lets me know they're making it fresh and they kind of, whoever's back there whipping it up kind of, well, you know, just go with the vibes. Yeah. I guess that's a good thing. It's nice having consistency and stuff, but sometimes it's like, ooh, I wonder what the salsa is going to be like today.

Okay. Like McDonald's fries. We're going to be consistent. But Matt's also like, you don't know what you're going to get. Gifting Gumbo to all of his absolutes. Let go. No, let it go. I won't.

Mm-hmm. I won't. Oh, yeah, because, I mean, hold on, did you get gumbo? I didn't get gumbo. Did I get, no? No, one got gumbo. Ross got. Ross, and then later on, Will got gumbo.

Oh. I gave Will gumbo? Right? That was from Randy. I gave you Stu. I did not gift Will Gumbo. Didn't you bring... He brought me Gumbo.

Oh, yeah. I gave our friend Tyler and then Ross. They were both... They both lived somewhat near me. I don't even know where you were living at the time, but it was not close. I don't want to hear you. You weren't living down by me.

And Randy... I don't even know if I knew you at that point. That's far. That was COVID era. Travis Country's kind of far. It is. Uh-huh. Jared in the chat says,

enjoying sorority recruitment videos. Don't get me started, dude. I thought about putting that one down. Disgusting. In fact, like, I'm so happy that no one sent me those recently. Ugh. And this is my last one. I think it's a pretty good one.

Sana Antics. If you're acting up in the sauna, Dave is going, and Dave's in there, he's going to talk about it on this podcast. Dave's taking mental notes the entire time in the sauna. I'm probably the biggest judger. I'm the sauna judge. I got to stop doing it. There's going to eventually be a time where somebody like, I'm going to get back to somebody who's a sauna boy in there with me.

Yeah, you know, I just don't think you should bring terriaki beef jerky into the sauna. It's very, it's a potent snack. It's not a, it's not a snack friendly environment. No, in fact, jerky in general is very smelly. You open up a thing at Jack's Lynx or whatever, even just out there in the bullpen, it's going to smell. Yeah. Now you, now put it up to 190 degrees. It's not a good thing.

Yeah. And it's a top 10 burpee protein snack. Is it? Jerky makes you burp. Didn't know that. What about putting water on the stones that aren't supposed to have stones? Sweat. I didn't.

That one, look, I was going to let that go and another guy said something. That was not me, but I did. It was egregious. It's just funny. If you walk into the sauna and you see Dave in there, be on your best behavior. I know, dude. I'm such a narc. Why am I such a narc in the sauna?

And I don't even nark to anybody that can do anything. I just nark to people I've never met and y'all. I have one more and this is the bottom of the barrel for me, but a long back swing. Okay. He's a short back swing guy. Of all of the ones you've done, that makes me the most mad because it's very true. It's very true. I once played a round of golf in Lubbock, Texas, and I was living there, and it was a money game.

It was me and our buddy Stribbs versus the two other guys, they were clients of ours. And this guy, he picked up on my short back swing. We'd never played. And he passive-aggressively the whole round would go, you got such a pretty little back swing. It's so nice and short. That would irritate me so much. Fun fact, we won, never got paid.

But yeah, no, it did. And so that one I'm very aware of. I do have a short back swing. I'm aware. And that's it for me. So does John Rom. He does. He does.

Tony Fee now as well. Tony Fienow. So look, I'm up there, good company. None from Will. None for Will. I did text him. I said, and I quote, got any Dave Johns.

I think he's a little dumb bad. I feel like I'm boring. I'm a boring guy. Well, I guess tomorrow's me. I feel like you guys just going to be mean. No. You love you, man. Y'all are some,

y'all are nice to me. Yeah. Those were, those were the bad. The short back swing one, that actually, that I am insecure about. And the backer thing, I'm more curious. I'm trying to figure out who it was.

I really want to know because it wasn't like just a straight up listener. Because of course, the listener comes by, like we're going to be, you know, open to that. But it was just like the first time was like, oh, this guy is specifically here because he knows Dave. So a lot of people will message and they say, they'll say, when's the best time to come by? And I'll say, honestly, here's when we record. Here's what we got. Like on that day, we're recording that afternoon. and they'll be like, all right, cool, thanks.

And then, yeah, there's, I mean, a lot of times where I just kind of like forget about it. Like, I forgot today we had the coffee guy coming in. I'll always say, because people ask me too, I always say that during the, you know, Monday through Thursday, 945, you can swing that, just pop in really quick. And then Fridays at like maybe 10 and then maybe Thursday afternoons. Otherwise, like it's kind of like, I kind of like when they come in before. the show because I feel like it's a little juice and if they bring coffee or something or you know what I mean yeah kind of get you going a little bit I don't know 132 as well but like yeah 945 is usually the best we need to do a graphic with all of our uh our packs so that's something that you should

probably get on so maybe get a good night sleep tonight on your Lisa mattress if you can Randall I'll try one thing about me I only sleep on Lisa mattresses Only. I knew that about you. You've got the hybrid cool, the legend hybrid cooling. Legend hybrid cooling mattress and it is wonderful. I'm having the best sleeps of my life. Yeah.

You know, I like to really hone in my nighttime routine. Like to limit screen time before bed. And one thing you got to do is just have the confidence that the mattress you're going to go curl up in. It doesn't stop delivering for you. It's so great. You like it. much you drink you in the morning you'll go to take your little coffee in there on the bed i woke up at 740 this morning and i drank coffee in bed for an hour before i got ready for work i do that i do that

That's my second one in as many days. What you got for me? I thought of something as I was walking into the gym. I saw a Tesla, and it had the sticker, and it said, this Tesla does not endorse fascism. Fascism? Fascism. Fascism?

Fascism. Fascism. I just ran it out so hard. I know that that's definitely going to be honest. No. That's obvious. So I saw that. And that's like become like a thing in the last couple years as Elon's gotten more political.

The anti-Elon Tesla Club or something like that, stuff like that. And it dawned on me like, and maybe this is just Austin. But I feel like there's so many Teslas in Austin that Tesla's are now becoming, it's just a part of my day to day. I see them at all during my neighborhood. My neighbors have them. There's so many that I don't even think about him anymore when I see them. No.

I hadn't thought about him in a long time. So much so that when I saw that sticker, I was like, dude, you don't really need those anymore, especially in Austin because it's not like a Tesla in this town is an anomaly. They're everywhere. It's to the point to where like, if I see that, it's like, oh, yeah, you're doing yourself a disservice because I did not. associate that with Elon when I saw it because, again, they are everywhere. So, like, you don't really need to do that. And maybe arguably, you didn't ever need to do that because it's just a car. Yeah, Tesla's, they're so common, especially in this town that when I, that isn't registered to me when I see them anymore. Exactly. However, a cyber truck. Anytime I see a cyber truck,

I judge that person hard. And not just because of the Elon connection, although I do think you have to be similar. I have an Elon fan boy to own a cyber truck. That one does give fanboy. It does give Because that one's more, that's the gaudy version of the Tesla. I judge them most, mostly because it's just a big hunk of crap. I absolutely hate that vehicle. Don't you drive a Volkswagen? I do. Thank you for doxing me.

You don't have an anti-Nazi, you know, on yours? I don't. I don't. I don't have anti-Nazi. If there's really anything that, yeah, Volkswagen was very, very ingrained to the 1930s, 1940s. Scott listens to softball history. It's just, yeah, so it's funny to think, like,

that it's like that has a way more ties to actual fascism true yes again i drive a vaux wagon so if you see me say hi what do you what do you drive dylan i drive a uh a jeep grand cherokee wow yeah wow i didn't i wasn't given the model i was just or the make i was just given um i drive the uh what was the what was the hot girl car in college jeta the three three series beamer oh the jeta did jeta and it also smelled like crayons inside. I don't know, people, that might be a Dave thing, but I swear to God, I had a friend in college and her Jetta smelled like crayons.

The Jetta girls went to Texas State. The three series BMW girls went to Baylor and SMU. This is true. That's actually very accurate. One time we did a hot girl car draft. We did. Back in the day. That'd be a good clip.

Yeah, I just, I feel like you don't need that sticker anymore. Maybe, and you probably never did. I get where you're like insecure about it. But like at this point, like I'm only, I'm now going to see that. And I'm like, I want to know who I want to know who that person is that puts that sticker on their car. It was late 2020. So worried about it.

Late 2024, early 2025, around the election and inauguration was election. It was when those stickers became a thing. Yeah. Because Elon was pretty insufferable. Yeah. Like Ross. I don't think I'm telling tales out of school. Ross is a very open Tesla driver.

a long time Tesla driver actually Yeah He didn't have them on stickers does he Not did I know No way Bought this before Elon went crazy That's the one That's the most popular one

I talked to Ross recently He said he wants to do the show Let's get that Let's get that boy on So yeah That's all it is I'm just saying like in I think in Austin probably in L.A

Any big town There's a lot of Teslas we'll just move on. We don't, we're all good. Like, we are not associating that, right? Yeah. I mean, I never. It's just dry sand effect in a way, which has come up a number of times in recent months.

Because, like, anyone with a level head knew, like, if you bought a Tesla early on, like, it's because you were doing it because it's good for the environment and stuff. Like, that's the way that they pushed it originally. And it was like, it's such a funny thing that it went from a kind of liberal car that cares about like green initiatives and stuff to being a. fascism car. Like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

And this podcast is famously anti-fascist, fascist. Even though Dave's also anti-pranciation. People should know that about us, yeah. Mm-hmm. No fascism.

No, that's the thing about, it's not good. Randy recently joined Antifa. That's not true. Gotta go to Seattle and get the Chaz set back up. You were in the Pacific Northwest in the last couple years.

It was. That was, but I think that was like three or four years. ago. It feels like last year. Where'd you go? I mean, last year was July.

I went to, I don't know, camping. And then I can't remember the name of the town. That's like an old German town that they made. It's also shares a, not an old German town like that day. Yeah, no, you showed his pictures of it. It kind of blew my mind that existed. It's also a name of a famous prison, too. here

Alcatraz I don't look it up did that did I read something about us like we're gonna reopen Alcatraz Trump was Trump announced it was gonna reopen

why and of course it didn't we don't why we don't need that I remember Charlie Kirk like being like this is this is a brilliant

fucking idea dude is not it's like it's like a it's there's no way it's Leavenworth Levinworth Levinworth

Levin one yeah yeah there's no way Alcatraz right now without like millions and millions of dollars of renovations is a viable prison. It was shut down for pretty good reasons. Plus dude, there's nothing better

than going there, getting a little tape recorder, putting on the headphones and walking around, getting the little audio. That was one of the coolest tours I've ever done. I loved Alcatraz. It was awesome. I took a picture. Ghost of Al Capone's in there. I took a mugshot picture in front of the height chart while I was in there. It was sick. What was your height?

Six one. No big deal. Big deal. Were you wearing the height maxing shoes, the clavicular height maxings? I didn't bring my height maxing shoes to the Alcatraz Tour, no. Why? That was your chance. You had like a photo that you posted.

I don't know. Okay. Must be nice. You could use those shoes when you were taking that picture with Johnny Football. Or he could just hop down off the curb and stood next to me like a normal person. He would have stood next to you and been just as tall because he's not 5'10. He's so much tall. He's like six flat.

I think. Isn't he fighting Bob Menry? Is he? I'd sent that to the group, so I should know. I'd watch that. We've been around Bob Menry. Bob Menry is not a big guy. I've been around Mansell twice now.

Just in run-ins. And you've been around him. Manzell is a big guy. He's a big six foot. Yeah. Or six feet. Yeah. Professional athlete.

Yeah. Not anymore. I found out he might have allegedly punched a friend of a former coworker of her ours in the face at a club. I don't know if you were on that pod with Dan. Yeah. Dan told us that. I don't want to name names, but... Really? That was what Dan said. I don't remember this at all. Maybe this will clock to you when, after the show. But... Okay. It's a funny story. Kind of. You know what else is funny? All the compliments I get when I'm wearing my Tocovas boots. Talk about height maxing.

Yeah. Well, that's a little hat. I mean, I'm probably wearing my Tocovas. He's way if I'm going out to dinner or just going about town. But it is nice getting that extra inch. I got the black cart rides recently. I've worn them out to eat. I've worn them to the ranch. I wore them to get married in. It's kind of a, it's kind of a suit boot. You can wear them. You could dress. They dress up and they dress down. Absolutely. Good point. Your toes are always pointed west. That's the thing about it. We love our good friends at Tocovus. Tocovis crafts quality Western boots for everyone, from people getting married to generational ranchers and lifelong cowboys

to first-time boot buyers. Toccova's boots are handcrafted with over 200 meticulous steps for broken and comfort right out of the box. That's probably the key point there. You go into the store or you order them and you get them out of the box, you put them on and there's not that break in period. That's the best part. That's right.

Yeah, it looks dope, obviously. They feel worn in straight out of the box. That's underrated. And they've got boots for the same. season, weddings, concerts, outdoor festivals, work events, whatever, man. Just put them on and you'll love them. They've got exotics, but they also have just your cow hides, but you can get your goats, you can get your ostrich, your cayman. I've got the smooth ostrich, by the way. Big fan. And you look scrum-dily, I'm just in them. I don't want to say anything, but yeah.

It's true. They're fantastic. Tukovus Heritage-made cowboy boots are crafted, but in over 200 steps by hand in Leon, Mexico. Ooh. Go into the store. Just smell the store. Walk in, even if you don't need boots right now, say you got something at home. Just go in, see what they got. Look at the other leather products.

And the staff is so knowledgeable. They've got wallets. They've got other things. They're going to offer you a beverage, alcoholic, or no, whatever you want. Just go check it out. And you can have them brand your boots. That's kind of an underrated thing.

Yeah. That's your in issues. For free. What do you got on yours? DJC. DJC. What's that, Stan? for Dylan Joseph Shivery. You should buy some for Chels and get Chechay on there. I should

Tocovas point your toes west. See C-Syper details. What's going on? I don't know, man. Scientists just keep getting got. Why is that?

I don't know what's going on. Are they all in the same field or like adjacent fields or what's happening? It's like leading scientists too. It's not a run-of-the-mill scientist. These ain't your grandma's scientists. People have been tracking this for a couple months. Oh, hey, one of our, um, leading nuclear scientists disappeared or was killed or died, you know, whatever, under

allegedly mysterious circumstances. Wasn't like, they're like a guy like that did a shooting on campus and then went and killed another guy and like a professor or like scientists in the house? I believe that was at MIT. Yeah. Is that one of the scientists that's talked about here? Maybe. What I've seen and I've leveraged AI tools to help me get more of this information.

At least 10 people tied to sensitive U.S. nuclear and aerospace research have died or disappeared in recent years, prompting investigations into whether the cases are connected. People die. It's not like these people are infallible, you know, invincible. People die. The cases span from 2022 to early 2026 and involved personnel from at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Los Alamos National Lab, and the Air Force Research Laboratory and related. institutions. So people that are top secret clearance working on maybe the stuff like jet propulsion

UAP stuff, we don't know. And then people are like, well, our adversaries, are they assassinating or kidnapping our scientists? Espionage. That stuff goes on. I mean, you saw this with Iran back in the day. In the last 20 years, you'd see their nuclear scientists get got by guys on motorcycles to disappear. Like, it wouldn't shock me if this is happening

to us from people, China, Russia, people who don't like us. They don't want us to get the top tech. So they go out and they take out our scientists. So. Doing a little touching base, huh? We need to protect our scientists. Yeah, so what do we do? I don't know. This is

highly concerning. What do we do? If you're a leading scientist right You're just like, head on a swivel. Yeah, if you're a woman in STEM, especially our women. Great point. Monica Reza. Reza was an aerospace engineer and materials processor who worked for both NASA's jet propulsion lab and aerojet rocket dine known for developing and patented specialized type of metal

used in rocket manufacturing. She disappeared when hiking near Mount Waterman in the Angales National Forest. I probably said that wrong. Interesting. According to her companion, they were roughly 30 feet apart when they made eye contact. She smiled and waved. Moments later, she vanished. Despite extensive search and rescue efforts, her body has never been found. That's from Fox 11 Los Angeles. So it's probably the Angelese National Forest. Dumb, Dom. Good reading there, Dave. Good reading there, Dave. So that's interesting. That's just one of 10. The one that made the news

was this older retired general. It was like a two-star disappeared in New Mexico. I don't know. It's interesting. It's something to attract. Who do we think it is? Is it the

Russians? Extro-terrestrials. Aliens. Is it the Russian? The Chinese? Could be. Those are two names that have been said. Is it our own people?

Who knows? Sometimes it be your own people. I mean, It makes we wouldn't want uh we don't want china to get the uh to drop on us on uh UFO technology uap technology develop uh time travel something like that i know that the bob lazar doc there's clear there was like talks of these uapes going over nuclear facilities in like russia and then like the the african like uh school uh there was like contact there I wonder how many happen around the world

because it seems like America is the hotbed and there's always been like that but are there more sightings and more contexts that we just aren't aware of or is like USA still like number one with I don't know if we're number one. I think we just I think we're the ones that put that

like we're the one since we live here like we have the like we probably we've got like all the people I don't know We post more. Yeah. We got Casey Musgraves doing posts from the plane. Well, I'm talking about like even back in like the 40s.

But the four, the, the stuff on the, like the stuff over nuclear sites and over like Air Force bases and stuff, that's well documented. That's happened in the 50s, the 60s, even like modern times. Like that stuff's all there. But that could be, I mean, a lot of that shit is probably us testing stuff. Yeah, I think like a lot of stuff. Or at least that's a theory. Like a lot of air bases out there could have been that.

but I think Ohio has a lot of sightings. Not shocked. That should be on my anti-starter pack. Ohio? Yeah. Could really be on anyone's really, yours as well. I have no problem with Ohio. I respect Ohio.

Now, you talk a lot of shit off-mike about Ohio. No, Indiana is pretty much... I love our people from Ohio, too. There's not much difference between Illinois, Ohio, and Indiana. Ooh. Except for it's like Chicago. It's a big difference. Chicago kind of rules.

Yeah. You guys got more cornfields in Ohio, don't you? Indiana, probably. A lot of corn, a lot of soybeans. And rain mix corn. Here's the thing. People might not know this. Indiana isn't landlocked.

Did you know that? Yeah. I get a little, little sliver. In Chicago, when we looked across the river? Lake Michigan. Lake Michigan, when I saw. we were like, yeah, there's Indiana. That kind of blew my mind a little bit.

You can see those. We can see Randy's house. Yeah, those little smokestacks over there. That's what it was. That's the steel mills over there. That's Gary. That's Gary. Shout to Gary.

Kind of cool. Like from Ohio, I don't have Gary. From one window in my high school, on a very clear day, you could see on the horizon, like the Chicago skyline. Or if you went up in like a Ferris wheel at local church, it was like kind of cool. So this is a big. This is the one that kind of sparked this. Retired Air Force Major General William Neal McCasklin, McCaslin, excuse me. In February, 26, a couple months ago, he disappeared from his Albuquerque home with his 38 and remains missing.

His disappearance sparked significant online speculation about potential connections to classified military programs and UAPs because of his past role as the commander of the Air Force Research Labor. at Wright Patterson, Air Force Base. Stop putting emphasis on different words. What are you talking about? What's this cadence you're speaking? So he disappeared with his, with his pistol? His 28. You got that toil and dipped, huh?

Yeah. I don't know if he had a fat ass-a-suitary. Or someone dipped him. Could it be crab people? Well, that's one thing. It says a lot of people are wondering if this is crab people. Crab people. Crab people.

Clearly lost on a lot of people. Yeah. And rightfully so. That was a self- One off South Park thing eight years ago. Longer than that, really. You understood it? Yeah, I did.

Interesting. Representative Eric Burleson described McCaslin as the UFO general due to his deep expertise and noted that his congressional staff had already been working to contact him about a separate UAP investigation prior to his disappearance. You've got to stop. You're doing the chicken cassidia guy that we watch on TikTok. The chicken cassidia. I don't. I'm just trying to do the segment.

Okay. Now, Dylan, what if I told you this? There's some caveats here. Okay. The case is very widely in circumstances. Some involve unsolved homicides while others are missing persons cases with no signs of foul play. In at least two instances, families appointed to pre-existing medical conditions or personal struggles as explanations. That's from CNN.

No more reading. Close your laptop. The Department of Defense, confirm, or Department of War. I'm a still a defense guy. Confirm to the House Oversight Committee that there are no active national security investigations of any reported missing persons who is a current, excuse me, or former clearance holder involved in special access programs. That's from Newsweek. It's not even clocked to me what you're saying because of how you're saying. Do you want me to send you this article?

So irritated with the way you're saying this thing. I think this could be like a lot of people are probably viewing this as like, this seems like a distraction. It's like they're kind of leaking this out there because there's going to be some like, we got to distract people from this thing that we're doing that's not good, that people aren't going to like. Hey, everyone keeps on talking about this. We're putting off a real vibe. We're putting off a real, I need to get my ship and men back vibe that the public in general doesn't really like. You know what I mean?

Yeah. Okay. What if I told you that a Caltech astrophysicist who worked at NASA's Neo-Wise and Neo-surveyor missions died in February 2026? How do you explain that? This guy died. I can't explain it, man. Yeah, I didn't think you could. No.

Yeah. Freak over here. Sounds like you're defending all these disappearances. What do you have to say, Dylan? You know stuff? You know what's going on? No. President Trump said he had just,

left a meeting on that subject, calling it pretty serious stuff. He added, I hope it's random, but we're going to know in the next week and a half. That's from the global times. I think cash is on it? I don't know. I'll tell you this, I'm not going to, I don't want to talk about him because I don't want to get sued for a quarter of a million dollars. Some punitive damages. I think he's hoping for a settle or something because.

He doesn't want discovery to reveal all those private messages, right? Claims some kind of privilege on that. Yeah, no, he doesn't, I would think. Who knows? But again, I don't, look, I have nothing to say. And I'm not going to call him by the nickname that people on Twitter are using. I don't even know. I don't even know this nickname.

All I know is this is some pretty serious stuff, Dylan. Yeah, I'm concerned. Concern level high, man. Yeah. I'm a big science proponent. It says according to Claude, this is a fast moving and genuinely significant story. I agree with Claude, as I often do. Yeah.

And now here's the thing, Dave, here's the thing. If there's actually some conclusions found about this, do you think us as the general public will actually know everything that's going on? No, that's a great point, Randy. Yeah. You're never going to know. No. And you're never going to get to know who to believe.

because if you don't here's a thing with this kind of stuff whatever if you don't like the people that are in power that release it even if they're not the ones releasing it's people way way under them you're you're going to look at it with a sense of skepticism which you probably should anyway but you're really not going to like it or believe it if they release it so you're going to have here's the thing man we're really polarized as a country and AI has changed everything that's something we've said uh you so i don't know man you're going to have a lot of people not believe in it no matter what my brother was a scientist at los alamos and he was uh he's very much on like he can't talk about what he worked on or anything and just so much of me he was like i want to know

what do you know that true oh yeah i want to know what he knows is he an engineer what's he do uh yeah mechanical engineer he worked on uh batteries so i knew that he was working with some of that he works for ford now working on evs but yeah so he was doing truck battery stuff it is truck barn so i'm like you should hey tell your brother to be careful i i will yeah We were talking about the group chat the other day. It's like, I don't know what he worked on. Was he reverse engineering alien batteries? Or was he just like making more optimized button batteries for, you know, secret service earpieces?

I don't know. I only know he was doing something with batteries. Oh, they didn't know that about you. Well, it's not really about me. But it's still a fun fact that you've a brother works at. It's a fun fact. Hey, remember Los Alamos. Him Bob Lazar and Walter White.

There's a new Bob Lazar doc that people have recommended. Maybe we'll watch it. I don't know. I'll probably just watch Sabes Bruins, stars tonight. Let's go. Knights took that out last night.

It's 1-1. I saw it. I saw it 3-2. The Mammoth. That's a great thing. I need to put in my Jersey Mike's picks. I've been absolutely killing it on the Jersey Mike's

NHL picks. You want to know how I did yesterday, Dave? I bet you don't know. You went four for four, right? That was two days ago. Let's see how yesterday it was. Yesterday was, ooh, three for four.

My save. My saves didn't get to win, huh? Thanks a lot, Brett. They've been getting me a lot of points, though, this year, though. So it's fine. Go, Sabes. Our T-ball league, they send out mass emails to every, by the way, there's like 15 T-ball teams in our league, a ton of teams.

They send out, like, rain-out emails, and whoever's doing it, like, puts a little personality into them. So they're kind of funny. And they're not just generic. You'd think that they would be, like, games, blah, blah, blah, rained out today due to what, inclement weather. No, not at all. someone's actually this one says mother nature is turning into our toughest opponent this season exclamation

fields are officially too soggy for anything but ducks no for real wood ducks are literally landing on the fields and dramatic slow motion puddle splashes although please don't do that because everyone needs to stay off the field so today's games and practices are rained out we got personality play we got one yesterday it's cute from the president of our little league and it said fields are closed today because of rain if you want to go fishing however, make sure you put the plug in your boat before you launch. Okay. Pretty good. Same, same, same. That's just some good neighborhood,

community fun right there. It's important to have community. Yeah. Takes a village, Dave. Wow, what a fun episode of podcast. That was a good one. Tomorrow, the anti-Randy started back. Should we do one for Brent? I know. I know he's still going on doing for Will. Brett's going to just walk him back. All right, get it over

We can do the whole squad. Are you know? I think that Brett didn't get a chance to do ours. So I don't know. It's not fair. We were allowing Will, but he didn't do you. I bet Will will post mine from the notes app in the next 24 hours. It's good to call.

He nailed me pretty good. Pause. He did. His were good. He nailed you? He nailed me pretty good. He did. His were good.

A lot. We only had to, I forgot about Garrett. Garrett Gilbert's the one oversight from me or from us on yours. Yeah. I forgot how much you... I hate him. You hate him more than I hate Middleman. He's the sole reason for...

He said y'all back. The Texas fall off beginning in 2010. Did you see Mac was with Coach Taylor? I did. Something or wearing a poncho. I forgot that he was in an episode of Friday Night Lights back in the day. Was that when coach, season two inexplicably took a college job at Texas University and then went back to high school because he just wasn't built for it? I don't remember the episode.

Apparently he played like a father of one of the kids playing or son or a granddad or something. I don't know. Okay. The more you know. Well, great, great time. Thanks for tuning in. We'll see you guys tomorrow. How about done?
