all right we're back circling back podcast coming to you live from austin texas my name is will defries to my left, David Ruff. All-time weird weather morning here in Central Texas, Austin, Texas, to be specific. Woke up. I was very curious to see if the line of storms had blown through. You know, we need it, obviously. And checked my radar.

Healthy line just out west i was like oh here we go gonna get gonna get a good a good soaking was dylan out there healthy like was dylan there come on man just get my reps in just caught me in line just hey just let the man cook and i was like all right man let's let's get it and uh wind blew through, a little front, gust front blew through. And I was like, oh, here it goes, about to bust. And it never rained. And I was like, what? So I looked at my Twitter application, checked out my meteorologist of choice here in Central Texas, Avery Tomasco.

He's classic big weather he uh he posted it the the line of storms just like dissipated right around austin and then reformed right right outside austin and bastrop when i pulled up to the people cave earlier there's some big old some fat ass raindrops they were fat weren't they we got a little bit coming up here but damn they were some i need to give these raindrops my number? Damn, they're thick as hell. Not slim thick either, like thick thick. Remember the scene in Forrest Gump?

Big old fat ride. Remember that? Not your worst impression. Better than your walk-in. Talk about all the different kinds of rains. Was Forrest Gump the most impersonated in sixth grade, or I guess for you, high school? Chad and I.

No, you were in high school when Forrest would have been in high school, right? No. I'm not that much older than you, believe it or not. Dave and I are. You famously had a flat top, though. I did have a flat top. Yeah. Sixth grade, flat top.

Forrest Gump was my official stay-home-sick-from-school movie up until, I would say, maybe high school when those movies changed. There were some things that happened in that movie that I didn't realize were happening until I was in my 30s. Like AIDS? Correct. It took me way too long to understand that angle of what was going on with our girl Jenny. Jenny, she lived quite the life. She was a wild girl, yeah. She was a wild one.

She played guitar nude. She was a real wild one. Yeah. She was, yeah, she did, Dave. You're right. Did some drugs, had some sex. Almost jumped off the balcony. Almost slipped off the balcony.

As the solo to Freebird just blaring i don't know how she didn't do it like if that solo is blaring and you're even like up there like you're gonna fall it's a great movie man awesome dude no it is a good movie it's a good movie no it's good it's great great, I guess. I don't know. I'm sick of y'all. Sally Fields. She's in it. She had intercourse with the principal. That's something that I knew something was going on, but I was like, what?

I didn't know that they were doing the sex until, I guess, a couple of years ago. I thought they were up there doing jujitsu. Oh, really? Yeah. They were rolling. They were practicing moves on the mat? That's what you thought?

Rear nakeds, arm bars, crucifixes. They were doing the rear naked all right. Hey. Elon changing this Twitter logo, man man to the doge freaking epic dork shit i'm so he's i'm so sick of his dork shit dude he's nerded up our twitter so bad he has muddied the waters of twitter so bad by just dorking it up this isn't your your playground buddy go take your dork shit somewhere else kind of is i'm sick of it he bought it i know but it shouldn't be that way dude that like i don't

Dylan Chivry, ladies and gentlemen. I'm really excited for today's episode. Look, bodies are turning up in Austin. I'm not going to, I'm going to stop it right there, but we're going to talk about it. This weekend in fun, you're turning up this weekend. You're going to turn up that body. I'm just saying, man, we got to, we got to get to the bottom of it. No one else seems to want to get to the bottom of it. So leave it to the bad boys of podcasting.

It's facts. Yeah. Dude, we're on, we're essentially a street team right now. Yeah. I got my ear to the streets constantly.

You think my ear's out to the fucking streets? Worried about my hearing overall, in general. Because your ear's been to the streets so much? So I don't know. Part of me wonders

if I just need to go get my ears cleaned out. Part of me wonders if listening to music my entire childhood at full blast on my CD player, or as some people call it, a discman. Discman.

Sometimes I worry that that might be something that I'm confronting now later in life. Part of me is wondering if the Aeros Tour just blew my shit out. More on that in a minute. Your back? His ears. He's clearly talking about his ears, not his back. Oh. He said blue shit out.

He didn't get his back blown out at the Aeros Tour that I know of. Someone did. Can you confirm or deny whether or not you were the guy grinding in the video from the Aeros Tour, Dave? I'll get to that. I'll get to that. And I feel like that...

You were in the moment. It's fine. I don't judge. We'll get to that. We'll get to it. I would like to address that because there's been a lot of speculation and I will... You know, it's just, it's a lot of, it's just irresponsible.

Before we get to the good stuff, let's talk about some important shit. We've been cooking over on Patreon lately. Some people are crying. The Love Island boys might be over over but exactly five minutes is an absolute sensation it's famously doing numbers so i saw two listeners in the parking lot of lifetime fitness yesterday you beat the shit out of them i did not it was uh i think he would beat the shit out of me he's a larger man and his girlfriend very nice if they were the houston meetup and i asked them i go did y'all listen to the patreon today you You know, it just makes, and he's like,

yep. I go, how was it? Cause I thought it was a really good one, but I always like to hear feedback. He goes, fire as always. And I go,

May I have the floor for a minute to give some love to First Grace, who sent us, I guess we'll leave last names out of it. I'm not even sure what her last name is. Grace, listener, Hundo Pier, I believe. First of all, sent us a very nice letter, but almost as important.

She sent us a sketch of the Dick Saloon, which is right over my left shoulder. And when we have video back, you'll see it. It is fantastic. A very nice gift. We've gotten a lot of gas from the listeners lately. Dylan's been getting mugs. I had a listener send me a Red Wings mug, which I have to say is,

it's top my rankings of mugs that have been sent to me. I've only had two sent to me, but it's top my rankings. Yeah, Grace, been sent to me. I've only had two sent to me, but it's top my rankings. Yeah. Grace, if you're listening, I know you are. You'll be happy to know that it is now a part of our studio set. Yes. It is prominently displayed.

It is fantastic. We love it. And tomorrow, you'll be able to see it on Patreon. I now have a little something from Grace in my home and my office or in my studio our studio because we have this she did a a little drawing a drawing of uh of randy and it said big brother and it sits in in rhodes room my son in the little nursery so she's she's very talented very kind she also sent us a bonus sketch she did us as 1920s gangsters very peaky blinders very peaky blind that's a that's a dope photo it's awesome i like it about as much as i like the dick saloon one i don't mean maybe

we should rotate that one in at some point we should do the the peaky blinders enter the dick saloon for the first time yeah like just a meta episode concept also shout out to i know there's a group of listeners on the discord who put together a little something for randy and i don't i don't i'm sure there's a whole i'm not gonna list names i don't even know which of y'all did it but anyway uh also very kind thank you guys randy i'm sure will greatly appreciate that because he's been going through some uh some hard times so thank you guys there's been no shortage of reminders lately that some of the circling back listeners are are the reason that we got

some of the best listenership in the game thank you guys let's go to the heiress tour you feel like a dork being the only one that's not been to the heiress tour dylan no no feel like a loser i'm happy you guys got to go man feel like a huge fucking narp no i'm not a big concert guy you know that about me like an npc right now i only do bob weird concerts um yeah after i take an early bird yeah didn't you say you said that you don't go to the you don't go to taylor swift concerts because their songs are they're less than 23 minutes long yeah yeah it's annoying for you it is annoying like was this eight minutes what are we doing dave hit that arlington show

your boy hit that vegas show but i think everybody was eating good no matter where you were um so we went sunday night and it was the last night of the arlington show she did three i guess that's what she does she does three shows at every location, right? And I am a fan of a lot of her music. A lot of it I don't listen to. I guess you could count her as a guilty pleasure. That would be a good answer. So I was like, okay, my wife's seen her twice, and she's a super fan. So I was like, all right, well, let's go.

We're going to go do this. And we went Jerry world, AT&T stadium, and I'll just put it out there. It's one of the best productions, best shows I've ever seen in person. Like I'm blown away. And I knew it was going to be good, but the stage changes with each era, the choreography, her backup dancers, her backup singers, how just dialed in they were. I was absolutely captivated.

I was blown away. The backup dancers were phenomenal. Captivated. Yeah. I was blown away. The backup dancers were phenomenal. Captivated. Yeah. I mean, it was incredible. And even some of the songs I didn't know, which there was a ton I did not know, I probably knew half, maybe a little more than half. They were good too. And it helped that I had a little cheat sheet to the set list. So maybe when she got in an era that I wasn't super into or super familiar with, I could tie my bar run or my bathroom break with that. That was nice too.

Will, I'm curious if you had this experience in Vegas. The men's room. There weren't a ton of dudes at this concert. Probably 10- 15% dudes. That means there was a lot of ladies and the line in the ladies' room was quite long, a significant line, whereas the line in the men's room was non-existent,

which is great for me. However, they started co-mingling. We started getting the gals using the men's room, which I don't have a problem with, but it was extremely awkward walking into the men's room. There's a line of women waiting for the stalls because they don't use the urinals. And me being the only dude in there, I'm like, well, I guess I can't get out now. Well, I guess I could, but that's awkward. Did you experience this pre-concert or did you experience this mid-concert? This is all pre-concert. Okay, okay, okay.

Because I was going to say, when I went to the bathroom mid-concert. There's nobody. It was an absolute ghost town. Anywhere but inside the actual arena. Yeah. This is mainly pre. yeah um this is mainly pre and just like as i'm peeing like i'm hearing like girls of all ages like just joking and talking and like somebody said something about a wiener not mine but just like a general wiener comment and i'm just like is this weird like it's a weird experience for me

um are they talking about micah or like maybe okay maybe or anthony his uncle right no uh they did start infiltrating right before the show when it was kind of do or die time when they started doing the actual like countdown with the clock and stuff but i didn't have to worry about that i did i didn't you know i'm built different with my bladder dog i tried to wait as long as i possibly could to go to the bathroom and I ended up going like four songs in. Not my proudest performance. The $30 double vodka sodas I was drinking really just went right through me. Shout out to AT&T. I had one single Negra Modelo and I guarantee that no one else had one in the entire arena. They sold exactly one. They sold one that day. It's like when UT puts out at the end of the year they put out their entire list of alcohol that was sold throughout the year at uh dkr and like

yeah it's hilarious and if you go to the bottom of the list you just see random shit like two tequila floaters that got rang up whatever and it's just like stupid um it was almost like cirque de soleil ask like it almost didn't feel like a straight up concert to me as much as it felt like a traveling circus of sorts. Like it was just a wild scene to unfold during a concert. Like it was such a production that it was more than a concert. It was like a, I don't even know. Yeah, no, that's absolutely the case and

the fact that they do that she does not take breaks and it's just constant for three plus hours is insane the amount of choreography she doesn't do i mean she dances but it's not like a ton of dancing for her but still like the fact that she's singing and doing all that, walking around, pacing around the stage, no breaks. It's insane. How many shows is she doing per week? Three. I think three.

Damn. It's good. She makes $9 million a show. That's insane. Excuse me? Per Google. Per Google, $9 million a show. She sold out AT&t stadium 80 000 people

three nights in a row yeah what what is the face value of a ticket i think it depends on i don't discuss that publicly neither does well i think if you're asking what the damage is i'm not sure yeah not sure i didn't pay for ours just wondering like how it breaks down financially for her you know 80 000 times whatever she actually gets hers Bitcoin. So is her stock back up for you after putting out some slower-paced albums? Absolutely. And even those albums that I was not in on Evermore and Folklore, right? Mm-hmm. Even those songs on those, I was like, those are well-done songs.

I don't know if I'm going to be bumping these in my car. But I got to say, the crowd was insane. those are well done songs i don't know if i'm gonna be bumping these in my car but um i gotta say the crowd was insane and uh to your point about the ears i bought some earplugs on amazon a couple days before yeah and i went earplugs for the first like first 25 minutes like if you're if you're a listener and you're going to the taylor swift show i'm not fucking around at all and you have ear problems get bring some earplugs if only for the first five minutes of the show and everyone's screaming their lungs out. Because it was deafening. I'm not kidding.

If you have an ear problem and you're going to the show, bring earplugs for the first five minutes. It was deafening the way that people were screaming. And we weren't in an annoying section at all or anything like we everyone around us was um you know singing and dancing along but no one was being drunk or annoying or disrespectful and like even then it was just so unbearably loud it was but it was awesome so i don't did uh did y'all have gracie not gracie yeah grac, Gracie Abrams open? No. So Gracie Abrams is one of the opening acts, and I was not familiar with her. And there was a young lady,

and this is the first opening act when there's like, you know, seats aren't even half full. There was a young lady right behind us screaming, going crazy, every word of Gracie Abrams, who I learned is J.J. Abrams' daughter, interestingly enough. But she was okay. She was good. of Gracie Abrams, who I learned is JJ Abrams' daughter, interestingly enough.

But she was okay. She was good. I don't, you know, not really my thing, but. What secret songs do you get? I don't even know. Word. Word. We did not get Welcome to New York.

I'm sure she's saving that for New York. Yeah, you gotta think that one's gonna come out at a different time. Did, I got Our Song, which i famously got incorrect okay uh during do you know at a game show podcast hosted by randy trumbacki maybe clean no we didn't get clean i got i don't know did she do dirty by christina aguilera no she didn't do dirty because if you ain't dirty you ain't here to party did you know that she was gonna uh but you, were you prepared for the mermaid dive? Yeah,

totally. I was not. And I was like, Whoa, what the fuck just happened? Yeah, totally. I'll be honest.

Like social media, social media and my discover feed has completely taken the surprise element out of like concerts. Yeah. Especially Taylor Swift. Like I pretty much felt like I knew everything that was going to happen because it was so heavily covered weekend one in Glendale which era was her was the mermaid i don't know it was toward the end of the show she did like the last song of one of the eras she like the floor opens up and she dives in and then the stage which has like um which lights up

illuminates and has graphics. The direction she dove was like a mermaid, mermaid tail swimming towards the big screen. It was, it was sick. I was like, okay, hats off to you. Fred on good, sir. All right, Tay. Tay Tay.

Think you'll ever see her in concert again? This is a question I had for myself after. I think I'm good. I don't know if I want to. I think I'm good. Yeah. She's never going to top that. Unless I'm seeing her in a different setting. Like I'm good on arena shows with Taylor Swift at this point. I had fun. I enjoyed it. I don't think I need to go do it again. If I got offered tickets to go to the heiress tour when

it's like in Houston or something, I would absolutely go. I would, I would go watch that concert again, especially knowing what to expect and what songs I'm really into. I would go just for the Reputation Era. Because as you guys know, I'm in my Reputation Era currently. I didn't know that. Yeah. Okay. What was your favorite era?

I don't think I can drive three hours to go do it. 1989. That's a good one. I would have liked the Folklore and Evermore ones, but they were just a little more low-key. And so it wasn't like – as far as a concert-going experience goes, it was simply not as fun to take in those songs as it was the 1989 songs. But my most played at the end of this year will probably have at least one song from Folklore on it. Dude, just the way the stage, like – I don't know. I'm like a guy who's never been to a concert before. But, like, the backup dancers were so, like, interesting.

And, you know, at one point they were, like, riding bikes around the stage. Were you hoping that a bike fell off? No, but I was nervous watching them. I'm like, this has got to be pretty nerve-wracking. Like, they don't want to run into Taylor. I'll be honest. I was looking at the faces of them while they were uh on the big screen and some of them looked a little worried they looked a little like oh who is your favorite do you have a favorite backup dancer i

mean are you doing a bit because you know you have information that you're privy to no i'm really not oh yeah sally one of a friend of sally's is a backup dancer for taylor swift so she's constantly on screen the entire time you're there. Yeah. Not like a close friend or anything, but when we went to Italy, she was at the wedding and stuff. We had dinner with her and everything. And she had to sign a nondisclosure agreement in order to be a part of the team that was

doing the concert. And so none of her friends knew that she was actually going to be a part of the show until night one. That's awesome. And suddenly she's just in the background. Yeah. How close are they? She went to high school with a bunch of friends

that were friends with Sally in college. And so she didn't go to UT because she's a professional dancer. And so she's just been doing stuff. She was on Dua Lipa's tour and stuff. How much did they get paid? I've only met her once and she was extremely nice. We hung out for a night in Florence.

And I didn't, but like, if she saw me on the street, she'd be like, oh, that might be Sally's husband. She have sick dance moves or what? Yeah, yeah, yeah. She definitely had tier 1A positioning in terms of where Taylor was dancing. That was cool to see. It was kind of jarring to see.

It was like, oh, shit. I like the larger fella. Dude, the guys were awesome. Dude, the dude with like the perfect teeth the hot swole brunette guy yeah i hated him at first and then like he grew on me and then like all the they were they were all really good i was i was i couldn't believe it i was like man they're nailing these moves i was also inebriated what was d-man's fit uh i decided to i didn't want to like upstage like the real swifties so i just went uh sequin blazer i just imagined high cut jean shorts and a button down completely unbuttoned dude if dave

had a sequin blazer on he'd be so tight so swag hey i want to give a uh you're familiar with the song lavender haze i gotta give a shout out first familiar with the song Lavender Haze? Mm-hmm. I got to give a shout out. First of all, the gays were well represented, and the dude rocking the Lavender Gaze t-shirt. Yeah, that's good. That dude didn't sit down for the entire concert and sang and danced every lyric to every song for three hours. Didn't sit down. Even the parts where people were sitting down, like me, because I'm old. This dude was going off. didn't sit down even the parts were like people were sitting down like me because i'm old this

dude was going off dude i when we were at bob weir and this is obviously a totally different situation i i get fixated on people in the crowd there is these two people there were these two people up in the mezzanine with this couple and they were they were just going so fucking hard on every song i didn't sit down you say that gives me so much anxiety when i go to concerts because now i'm like oh what if someone's fixated on me right now i'm just like a fucking dork like nodding my head along people who like stand out yeah these people because everyone around them was sitting that were sitting down and uh they were just going so hard i found myself at the taylor swift show looking for people who were just beating down boyfriends like guys who just were

like fucking a and a couple rows in front of us there was this girl and she was making him take so many photos of her in the middle of the aisle so it was like it wasn't just like oh let's do a selfie it was like him constantly having to leave his seat go to the aisle take a photo get her posing then she would like close her mouth do a soft smile everything we were second row and not like by the stage, whatever. And, uh, I couldn't get back to my seat anytime I would come down because people would walk all the way down to take photos, like over the railing with like the stage in the background. Um, and to answer your what two consenting adults choose to do at at&t stadium during the eras tour specifically during the reputation era um i'm talking freak dancing if we choose to do that that's our business okay we're in public and you're more than welcome to to watch me uh grind yeah and um

a lot of people were like a lot of people watched because it went viral people were like hey oh dude this is you that's crazy and and you know what maybe it was maybe it was not but if it was then that's our right to do right sure were the kids around no kids uh well yeah there's a lot of actually plenty of kids plenty of kids all right somebody pointed somebody on that tweet responded like there's no taylor i guess the quote tweet that went viral there's no taylor swift song that that like initiates this or like you can freak to anything if you want you can really want to like like it's it's not the same as when you hear the first notes of back that ass up you know You can freak to anything if you want. You can really want to. It's not the same as when you hear the first notes of Back That Ass Up.

You know what I mean? Certainly not. Middle school me didn't know a different way to dance. It was freak or I wasn't dancing. Just straight up, hands up, just kind of swaying back and forth. You know how I freak? I do it Scotty style. Really?

Mm-hmm. What does that look like? I put French fries on their back and then I I smush them down, and I eat them. That's disgusting. They're okay with this? How do you guys feel about Scotty style sliders? They're fine. I feel like he kind of beefed his menu.

Is that a slider joke? Are you doing slider puns right now? Yeah. I'm more of a Scott Skiles guy. Hit him with the kicky. Shout out J-Bone. Right. We're talking NBA Jam, Scott Skilesiles we had the master's dinner last night we're all champions all the master's champions

congregate and finally we got to see what scotty style meant and apparently scotty style for slider simply means that he puts a couple french fries on there a couple french fries whoa dude he's crazy i think the most polarizing thing of the scotty style is that recent guest of the podcast tron has claimed that scotty style sliders are not finger foods um what's he talking about i know he's getting exposed even even uh too much dips on landry has been has been critical on the this. I responded, just smush it down, player. We need Tron to answer to this. Yeah.

I would eat these sliders, but I said it before the podcast, I'm not big on cheeseburger sliders. Do you think he bricked his menu? I don't think he bricked it, but he gets a B from me. B minus. It's exactly what a scott scheffler menu would look like because he's not the most outgoing guy there's nothing crazy about it it's not a well thought out menu in my opinion it's pretty boring i don't think you should serve

beef sliders before serving steak i saw someone say that this this is like a meal you could put together at an applebee's or something and i can't get that out of my head. On a date night? On a date night, perhaps. And I can't get that out of my head. And it's very accurate. Like this is, there's nothing outstanding about this menu. Sliders and steaks and ice cream and cookies.

Like it's good, but like you can order whatever the fuck you want. I was talking about this with Brett. It's almost like you need to win a couple Masters before you can really have a dinner that you really really want it's almost like the first one you kind of have to play a little pc you have to do something that's a little nod to your home you have to to do something a little safer but then once you get a couple green jackets under your belt that's when you can really start flexing a little bit that's when do some bits that's when tiger starts throwing out you know what's fajitas this year let's do

that yeah not bubba bubba got a second chance at his first bricking, and he decided to brick again. That doesn't surprise anyone. Yes, the throwing the French fries on the slider, it seems like just a give up. It's just like, what are we doing? Yeah, it's not groundbreaking by any means. You're not the only one who does that. No, as you guys know, because we've eaten breakfast tacos and tacos in general in San Diego, they'll put fries in a tortilla on you.

They'll put fries in those tacos. Burritos. The burritos, yeah. Yeah. That's fine. That's the Cali style way, right? Is it? Yeah.

I don't really mind it. That's the Cali style way, right? Is it? Yeah. I don't really mind it. I went on a California burrito tour this past whenever I was out of town last and I enjoyed it. I was crushing fries in my burritos. I mean, yeah, they're fried potatoes at the end of the day.

It's not like it's not that crazy. Ever since I started this pescatarian grind, French fries have uh skyrocketed in terms of things that i enjoy really i think i was underrating him before i've just been loving french fries with everything it's one of the more popular side foods uh and on the planet yeah and you just poo-pooed him somehow no i didn't they're just fried potatoes i mean like you're like, they put them in burritos and whatnot. Don't try to take back your poo-poo. Don't try to take back your poo-poo, dude. Don't phrase it like that. You did poo-poo it.

I didn't. You poo-pooed it. Would you do a poo-poo platter for your... What's Willie style? If you're doing Slider's Willie style. Slider's Willie style? Honestly, I might drizzle some barbecue sauce on there what's davy sliders willy style wouldn't be it wouldn't be a cheeseburger slider though

sliders for me i would probably do roast beef sandwiches with as much horseradish sauce as you can have on there i want people's nose blown out you got allergies not anymore play out what's a davy style coming in that it's my secret sauce it's disgusting my proprietary what just make i whip something up at home and i produce it in mass quantities and sell it make profit it's a side hustle you should look into it you ever leverage an ai tool i don't think you have what if scotty style was like he requested that he wanted to like actually make the sliders for everybody and he was just standing there in like a full chef's outfit what if tiger like decided to do hibachi one year and he was the hibachi chef

that would be sick if they brought in hibachi if you if they brought in hibachi and you were wearing your green jacket at the master's dinner would you uh be willing to try to catch an onion in your mouth would you have that much confidence in your catching ability it's the highest of stakes i mean that's that you're playing for keeps there that's that's racing for pinks you got to you got to give it a shot yeah but what if you get some fucking garlic butter on your lapel if you're that hibachi chef and you try to do the volcano and like you tip it over or like it it over or it's just not smoking. Falls in Gentle Ben's lap.

Oh, no. You give Gentle Ben a third degree on his thigh? You can't play with a Gentle Ben who would just be sitting there and just take it to the face. Like, who? Okay, you're the hibachi chef and you're like, this room, there's a bomb in this room and it will detonate. Unless you fling one shrimp to one green jacket wearing member at this dinner they have to catch it in their mouth who you flinging it to out of everybody who was there last night adam scott's head is too small so that i'm gonna assume that his mouth is too small to

catch it bubba bubba nah what was really nah dude so much for it if he has to. No, Bubba. You're welcome. That's a good Bubba impression. Dude, no one has done a Bubba Watson, you're welcome reference. You're welcome. From Baghdad, Florida. Oh, okay. That was the other Baghdad. No.

Honestly, I feel like Scotty wouldn't be the worst person to catch this right now. He's young. He's got a huge head. He looks old as fuck. Shout out like Scotty wouldn't be the worst person to catch this right now. He's young. He's got a huge head. He looks old as fuck. Shout out, Scotty. I think I'm going to go with Scotty. I think I'm going to take age here. I'm going Danny Willett. We've seen a picture of the skillet cookie.

And it's just a chocolate chip cookie, really, in a skillet. Yeah, but it, yeah. Served with ice cream, in a skillet. Yeah, but it, yeah. Served with ice cream. In a skillet. And it's like, man, that's a brick to me. I know, like, you get the boys together over some skillet cookies, and you're having a good time. I get that part of it.

So they each got their own skillet? Yeah. They weren't doing family-style skillet? Hot plate, don't touch. One skillet per dude. Did they do the little pan handle, handle the little chilies cover i'm unsure gotta don't touch those skillets man they're hot they toss like scoops of ice cream up on that bitch i'm doing i'm doing table side foster bananas foster oh dude table side caesar at

Don't try to fucking cuck his salad talk, dude. I will, but right now we're talking Carbone. That place is cool. We got to go. Is it table-side? No. Okay. But it's good. They make it in the kitchen?

You said they make it in the kitchen? Why would you make it in the kitchen when you can do table-side? They do all the preparation back in the kitchen. I've got a perfectly good table I'm sitting at, and it's hypothetical. This is not an upscale restaurant. It's more casual. Okay, that's cool. What?

I don't really. Dude, don't Bonita fish me like that. Okay. You're going to tell the guy in the $500 suit not to get a table side salad. The crouton. The carbone crouton is no joke. I'm not getting fired up for a crouton. I'm sorry.

This one you will. I'm proud to say – I'm very happy you went with it because I'm proud to say that I went back to my carbone ratings that I put up on my Instagram story after I went there. And the one item that got the top rating was the Caesar salad. Got a nine out of 10 on the Will DeFries scale of table side Caesar salads. Wow. Honestly, it was the best thing I had there. The meatball might've been the best meatball I've ever had. Was it spicy? Was it spicy?

A little spicy. Not too bad. A little spicy. And then what was your entree order? We went pork chop. We did uh penne a la vodka and uh pork chop pork chop good as well yeah that was a you that was your recommendation it was different i honestly did i would have forgotten that i even ordered the pork chop had i not gone back into my ratings covered peppers and onions i'm glad that i'm glad that i went back and found that because yeah carbone's like the hottest restaurant going right now.

Everybody wants to be there. Never been dog. Some people say it's overrated. Some people say it's like the best. For me, I'm happy I tried it. I'm happy I went. Yeah. Agree.

I would go back. I'm not, I'm not going to be the person spearheading getting a resi somewhere, but I'll go back if I get that invite. 30 spearheading getting a resi somewhere, but I'll go back if I get that invite. 30 days out. They get a resi. We should go there on St. Patrick's Day. Why? Because we could do an Irish Carbone.

Okay, but what matters is if you look at our bloodlines, there were some Irish. Okay. That's what matters. If you believe that that's cool i mean it's what it says are you just mad because you're not like a fucking brother in arms like with dave and i yeah you don't know shit you never rebelled against the crown now dylan couldn't do 23 and me they made him do 46 and me holy shit you're getting fucking smoke today.

The Dick Saloon might have some competition.

I've seen this before. It's the Log Lodge Tavern near Love Field in Dallas. The stems on that one, dude. Very impressive. I don't think this place exists anymore, but it's basically like if Sonic car hops were dudes wearing short shorts and cowboy boots. Honks.

These guys are honks. The quads on these guys. Should we have a kiss fight between the Dick Saloon and the Log Lodge? Who wins that one? Dude, the Log Lodge. The logs on those guys the log lodge tavern those guys are hot they are very hunky fucking babes meaty legs look at those thighs

how'd they get those back then i don't know what worked out back then the log lodge tavern all they did to work out back then was push-ups. I don't think – Push-ups and sit-ups. When did people start lifting weights? I mean, I know back in the day, but like here, people weren't going to the gym in the 40s. There was a prevailing theory that if you lifted – like if you were in sports and you lifted weights, your muscles would constrict your movements. And they didn't lift weights for that reason. I don't disagree with that up to a point.

Right. I mean, you see these guys walking around like this. You know, you can't see me with arms out because your shit's so big. They're like idiots. How do they wipe their butts? Well, there's also the battery theory as well. Well, there's that too. Dylan, you brought up an interesting question.

How do they wipe their butts? I don't know, Dave. Maybe they have a tushy. Maybe bidets. How do girls with new BBLs wipe their butts? I don't know, Dave. Maybe they have a tushy. Maybe bidets. How do girls with new BBLs wipe their butts? I don't know. I don't know. I mean, sometimes it's got to be hard to get up in there after you got your new big ass going.

Good question, man. I'm not trying to slander BBLs. If you want to get a Brazilian butt lift, that's all you. But I do have questions. More, sir. Can you imagine how much it would hurt to try to go number two after getting a bbl i think we should all get bbls and just see i don't know man you guys will remember that a few months ago i did a little uh diy home install

of a new toilet seat so i do have a little experience wow yeah i did successfully install a new toilet seat i instantly just screwed it screwed it on right we we installed our our bidet to the toilet and the seat that we used for it has officially broken off the hinges it's unhinged so maybe i need you to maybe i need you to come by and fix my toilet yeah man hey uh we'll set it up i can come by between uh 12 and 3 tomorrow why don't you just pick a time? Somebody over the age of 18 has to be home. And I ask that you

put all pets up. Like, crate them in a room. I don't know. But that's all. But I will come by. Yeah. Okay.

Bidet, mate. Is it time? Hey, bidet. No. Yes. It is time. We're doing a public service right now. There's been a lot of rumors swirling in Austin, Texas lately.

This rumor has been going around for, I'll say, since 2019. But it really has come to a head as of late. And I'm talking about the possibility of there being a serial killer in Austin, Texas. The Austin PD recently released a statement. And this was on the heels of a lot of people speculating, a lot of people tweeting about things, and a lot of people just kind of saying like, okay, we're at the point where we actually think that there's a serial killer in Austin due to some events that we will

get to in a second. And the Austin Police Department statement said, the Austin Police Department is aware of speculations regarding the recent drownings in Lady Bird Lake. Although these cases are still under investigation and evidence is being analyzed at this time, there's no evidence in any of the cases to support allegations of foul play. Let me read the end of this. While each incident has occurred at the lake, the circumstances, exact locations, demographics surrounding these cases vary. Our investigators approach every case with an open mind and objectively examine all available evidence. And they go on to say that they've talked to the medical examiner, they've done the autopsies, which from the research that people are doing, it sounds like these autopsies have been all over the map, which is not great for certain things.

Okay. What you just read mentions drownings. Correct. How many of these deaths are actual drownings? Several. So, okay. So, let me get out ahead of this when it comes to the information that we have at our fingertips here, okay? All the information that is put together has been put together by residents of Austin who have started to think, like, this is a little weird.

And so people have started to compile this list of deaths that is pretty lengthy at this point of people who have died in the last X amount of years at Lady Bird Lake. If you're familiar with Lady Bird Lake, it's essentially a damned river. It's a river. With not much water flow. It's not some rapidly flowing river. And so for someone to drown in the river, it's difficult. Also, this isn't a river that people go swimming in,

which is a huge part of this. Yeah. But like people still, they paddleboard, they do things in it. Right. But I think these people are dressed for hitting the town. Exactly. Not in their swim trunks. Exactly.

But I mean, even with all the people, and I kind of wish Randy was here to talk about this because Randy has been out on the paddleboards doing the whole party thing out there. He's the vibe guard. Everyone knows the vibe guard everyone knows the vibe guard right obviously and one of the things was like i mean a lot of people say like there's people partying all day during the summer out there on their on their paddle boards and there were zero deaths last year from that kind of thing yeah and people aren't wearing life jackets yeah like if there was going to be that you think that there would be one death that

would occur in a situation like that where people are partying. But instead what's happening is that these gentlemen, all men, there's only been one recorded female death of drowning in Lady Bird Lake and it doesn't seem to be associated with this. All these guys are between the ages of about 20 and 35. They all are darker featured gentlemen who kind of fall in line with more Dylan and I than you, Dave. And this is all based on the research that people have done and put together on a Facebook group that when I joined it had gone viral and there's like 27,000 people in it.

I don't even know how many people are in it now. It's 40 plus now. It's 40 plus? Okay. So now everyone is taking all the information, submitting things, trying to really just get to the bottom of it. Okay. One of the bullet points right here, it says the smiley face killer.

Can you explain why that's in here? So there's not that much information, but people are talking about the smiley face killer because apparently there have been graffiti tags with a smiley face around the the areas of some of these cases okay and so that's a theory that's a calling card of sorts by a serial killer um that's kind of a sick one yeah you know it's like if you you know you you see a new smiley face that's scary you know tagged on the side of uh you know a rainy street bar it's like oh is there another body about to turn up i mean dave did you just search uh what'd you just search on twitter austin serial killer if are you surprised by how many tweets there are about this um what i'm i'm not now but like when this came when people started really kicking it off and i like did the same search a couple weeks ago i was surprised um there was a similar rumor in houston um because you had some guys similar age also um that were turning up in like all the waterways in houston um but i don't know man

i just read a uh a very quick little sub stack from the evil mopac account people were popular twitter account people in the facebook group were saying that they were surprised by uh the tone of the evil mopac write up of it because it's a joking twitter account and apparently it was very serious and actually well done yeah death will do that to somebody yeah yeah it's i'm looking at an article by the san antonio express news about um the theories getting thrown around so there's a tiktok user atx aiden and he was neighbors with jason john who's one of the sound like a made-up name he's one of the victims jason john yeah and he said that oftentimes jason would after leaving Rainy Street, instead of taking an expensive Uber ride home, would walk the trail home.

People walk that trail. So, which would either A, make him an easy victim if he's already right there by the lake. The trail runs along the lake, for those who don't know. Or B, like, gets so drunk that, what, you fall in? But you fall in. I mean, I, but you can't like the, the trail by the lake is not, it's not a trail that you can fall in from. And in order to get to the water, you have to go through a lot of trees, a lot of brush. You have to want to be in that. You have to want to be down there. And so there's people that are trying to say like,

maybe they are going down there to smoke weed. Maybe they're going down there to piss in the lake because guys love pissing outside. Could have been a fair point. Could have been drugged. But like, so the drug is what the drug is, what I want to get to next because toxicology would show that, right? I guess. But are they testing for that? Are they just testing for trauma? I guess that's a question that I'd have to, you would have to research.

I don't know. But the drugging thing is interesting. And that's actually the most discussed theory right now in the Facebook group is that a lot of these bars aren't being held response if this has to do with over serving people and people being that drunk that they drown in a lake that's hard to drown in um then they need to start patrolling these bars better making sure that like people aren't being over served or drugged because there's a lot of reports of people that are being drugged on rainy at certain bars there's a lot of bars in the facebook group that are targeted really things none of which we go to which makes me happy we don't spend much time down there unless we're going to ice and hours

of course like i say not at night yeah like i i mean it's just a bizarre bizarre thing Yeah, like, I mean, it's just a bizarre, bizarre thing. Yeah, I am anti-Rainey at night, mainly because even though there are some great bars on Rainey, shout out Eisenhower's, Rainey is like a day drinking place for me and for most people. And if you go out at night, you will be around a lot of people who have been out there all day.

And they are just zombie eyes. Well, it's also like, it's just, it's a young man's game out at a rainy night. That too. I'm also pushing for it. It's so packed. And so really the questions that have been arising lately from this have been, how are these young, healthy looking men managing to drown themselves in this lake? And why is it all men? Why is it all around the rainy street area in that part of Lady Bird Lake? It just, it's something about it isn't adding up for so many people to the point now

where it's boiling over. Got to see these autopsy reports. Well, so there's one person, and so part of the reason I don't, like part of the reason I don't feel bad about speculating about this is because there is a lot of family members in the Facebook group who are supporting this and saying, no, we think there's foul play. There's a lot of inaccuracies or things that don't add up when it comes to the death of my family member. That's why we want to do this. And it just doesn't make sense.

Yeah. It doesn't make sense. Yeah. It doesn't make sense. The true crime podcast genre, which is one of the biggest, if not the biggest genres of podcast, really fuels this. Because it does turn people into amateur detectives. And much like with conspiracy theories, there's a lot of people who want there to be. Like, as morbid as that sounds, there's people who like- Oh, absolutely. People who like, yeah. People who like get off on this shit. So, yeah. a lot of people who want there to be like as morbid as that sounds there's people oh absolutely people like yeah they're like get off on this shit so it's yeah there's people looking and probably i have not researched this well but they're probably making a lot of um leaps in

logic but it is it is very strange and i'm i'm not too familiar i don't think i've ever walked this trail i haven't um the only experience i have with the trail is seeing it from a car uh and now being in the facebook group just seeing the videos that people are putting up of it they've put up a temporary fence to deter people from going there which should work they're going to put up a bigger barrier but like they need to have some cameras they need to have some cctv out there on that trail and see what's going on it doesn't make any sense that that things have transpired like this if you're coming to austin and you're gonna go out use the buddy system use the buddy system when you're getting home it's usually a good thing probably anywhere but like especially but you just you don't know there's a lot a lot of weird stuff going on.

Yeah. I was asking Will this the other day. I was like, are these just like big city problems? Or is there something nefarious going on? You know, like obviously big cities have more crime and, you know, more dead bodies turn up. But this just seems too coincidental. Too many. This just seems too coincidental. Too many... I already was kind of a believer in the serial killer theory before this last one.

And the last one really got a lot of people... It really heightened the senses for a lot of people, I think, from this past weekend. In order to now have people being this in on it. But I don't know the the austin pd they're understaffed um when it comes to investigative stuff and everything and they haven't they have a lot of people that are retiring and so it's like who knows what's going on over there like i don't know if they're gonna like this might be a case where a facebook group gets to the bottom of something before somebody else does but who knows i mean this could all just be theories since the austin police department was defunded

i never see him anywhere like i i never see police around austin anymore i haven't i've had that experience but since i moved to austin especially in south austin i rarely i'm used i'm i'm used to living to living in places, speed traps on the highway. People like cops posted up outside school zones looking to bust people. I never see police down south. I see them a lot around our place because we live near a boat launch. And so there's a lot of stuff going on there. When that Tokyo drift shit happened down the street,

they took over the intersection. One police car showed up, and then he had to retreat because he couldn't handle the crowd. Yeah. Bad. I mean, there was a very dark situation that happened around my place a couple weeks ago where a car drifted into the lake, and there was a person who died because of it.

And there was one survivor and the police presence that showed up was crazy. And I had not seen anything like that in a long time. It did make me wonder why there were so few police at the, uh, the takeover. Because, I mean, there were, there were at least a dozen cop cars, uh, ambulances, everything when, when we were doing that. Um, yeah, I don't really have a, I don't really have a gauge for the police presence in Austin at this point. But I do know that the numbers are down. And people don't want to be police officers in Austin. That's part of the issue. I think they're having major

recruiting issues too. I hope they get to the bottom of this. I hope that it's not as nefarious as people are theorizing. But it's gotten to a point where I think they're to the bottom of this. I hope that it's not as nefarious as people are theorizing. But like it's gotten to a point where I think they're going to have to confront it more than just their kind of soft Twitter statement that people are getting too drunk. Because no drunk person – I mean it just seems too coincidental for all these drunk people to have this happen to them. It has my attention. I will be monitoring the situation. Are you going in the group keep us updated if i get in the group that means i gotta get back on the book and i'm not willing to get back on the book i know it's pitiful i've never spent more time on facebook than i have in the last two days i'll find a nice uh subreddit about

it dude i think the austin i think the austin subreddit is uh deleting i think you're right because i tried to find stuff on the austin subreddit and it was i couldn't find shit they're deleting things for sure for sure they are why i don't know why huh i don't know but people are also being very careful because they're trying to get the austin group deleted because of certain um terms that are you know flagging stuff drugging killing killer serial killer murder stuff like that those terms are um getting flagged on facebook and so the group's having trouble kind of keeping their status okay yeah yeah wild man just yeah keep an eye out keep an eye out i mean but seriously be safe if you're in austin for a bachelor party guys trip whatever girls

trip anything just make sure you're being safe and if you're on uh if you're downtown don't go off without somebody else right now yeah or ever you always have a stick to stick to bourbon street rules that's the bourbon street rules that makes sense buddy system don't don't leave don't leave like they tell you don't don't go like past this street you know don't be alone yeah don't don't try to buy drugs uh don't leave with a car full of ladies you just met i could yeah not me personally but a buddy of mine told that story i think but do you take the shake down street go to the feets and sit on that purple he was robbed at gun point it's not funny although it's funny hearing him tell the story anyway can we talk succession yes we can usually we do this on mondays uh dave was not here and we had an abbreviated episode

because of the uh the no lane up guys coming on on monday but uh succession season four episode two give me your takes oh controversial episode from from fans because it, in too many, it didn't do enough. Didn't move the plot along enough. The second episode of the second episode of a series, the worst one. It's like, what do you, you can't have too high of expectations. I set up. I, I have found that I really, really enjoy the,

the trifecta of Shiv, Kendall, and Roman. Their interactions together, they're dynamic. I don't know why. When Kendall's around them, he's more likable. Yeah, he's happy. He's like, I don't know. It's really well done. I'm digging Connor this season.

Two in, and his character has kind of sad and is like his life might be falling apart very sad and like dude I don't know where it's going with him he just wanted to do karaoke man that was so depressing I spending a hundred million dollars to maintain his one% polling. Excellent. You always wonder what the end game is for somebody who runs for office, like a major office that they have no chance. There's no polling that suggests they have any chance whatsoever.

It's like, what's in it for them? Don't presidential candidates need to get a certain percentage in order to maintain funding for their party? Isn't that part of the thing? Something like that. In order to even get on the ballot ballot you have to be pulling in a certain thing dude um dylan said he was pulling at a certain level in college that this was unprecedented yeah they were calling you uh never mind what they're calling you raging bush yeah connor uh his character has uh it's been fun

so like obviously i know what happens like what's happening with like the logistics of you know the acquisitions and mergers and stuff so like i don't think we need to go into that because like obviously everyone knows exactly how this is all panning out it's difficult to follow is what you're trying to say yes it is if is. It is a bit difficult to follow. If someone tells me that they know exactly what's going on, I either assume that one, they work in finance or something, finance, or two, they're lying in order to sound smart. Or I'm just trying to make an excuse for my own stupidity.

I can't figure out what Shiviv is up to what um inciting with the party that wants to delay the sell in order to get more money like she she seems to be up to something like something on the side and i can't figure out what's going on there not to be trusted same with uh i'm wondering what kendall's end game is because he obviously talked to scars guard he knows that if they try to get more money the deal is probably not going to happen um and he hasn't said anything he has not told anybody that he's talked to scars guard scars guard is not his name i can't remember i was gonna say are we are we gonna operate this season by only calling him scars guard because if so i'm completely fine with that i could always look it

up what's weird is i have i have the cast pulled up on Google here and it just says Alexander Skarsgård with no character name on it. Hell yeah. Because it's Skarsgård, dude. Skardog. He's just the guy behind Gojo, right? Is he the Gojo guy?

He's the Gojo guy. Yeah. Lucas. Lucas Mattson. I thought it was a fine episode. I've also been trying to take myself out of being – I don't want my view of the show to be affected by Twitter because I think there's a lot of Twitter that annoys me

when it comes to Succession, probably because I prop Succession up a little too much in my personal tastes when it comes to this. a little too much in my personal tastes when it comes to this i've thought the uh i thought logan going to uh head going to like the the war room like the getting in the bullpen was good was quite was quite fun that that was the scene did you know that what that was a nod to i didn't know this obviously at the time but i saw it on twitter later that rupert murdoch did a similar speech apparently on on a box of paper really and so this was this was an uh this was emulating um that that speech on a box of paper uh logan had an all-time great reaction face to when tom was talking about the three percent

um three percent uptick week over week in audience or something like that. It was excellent, excellent TV. I have high hopes for this season. I'm ready to get out of the setups for the season. I need people to start moving like snakes even more. It's going to get snaky. This is the final season. Moving like snakes.

Roman's kind of annoying now. Who's your MVP right now? Interesting. I think it's Logan. After his speech last night, Logan's atop my power rankings of this season. Yeah. Tom. Greg is actually second for me, then Tom, for this season.

Tom's been excellent. The kids have been great as a unit together, but individually they haven't been moving the needle much. What was Connor's line about like when you've lived your entire life not being loved, it's easy to live without love? His superpower is he doesn't need to be loved. That was fucking the most depressing thing I've heard on this show. He's spiraling. Is he going to get married?

Is it going to happen? I don't know, but they're not going to go to the wedding because they're going to have to – Logan's going to miss his son's wedding trying to save the deal. It's unbelievable. They're going to the wedding, right? I hope so, man. Would T. Lou go to the wedding or would he go chase the bag? He's got an away game in Cleveland.

He's chasing the bag. He's playing for playoff position. He's not Cleveland's coach, is he? No. Okay. Good reference, Will. I got scared. Yeah, I don't have much on this episode. It was a let's move things along episode that hopefully will set us up for more in the future,

but I don't think it was a bad episode overall. No, I don't either. It's just episode two of a season of television. I'm just waiting for somebody to just smoke roman in the nose like connor like we can use i can use a comment we can use a death every comment to to connor the guy who's like down so bad is just like some snarky remark about oh she's probably out sucking some guy's dick yeah that's that's who he is shut the fuck up you know that shiv and tom are both british actors didn't know that until i watched the, like, the after that. Yeah, he's been in a lot of, he was in a lot of British stuff that, to be honest, looks

way too boring for me to actually want to watch. Okay. What was he in, The Holiday? No. Tom? No. He was in some movie, Alyssa. Jude Law was a Holiday boy.

Yeah, he was. Are you thinking of, like, Atonement or what? Not Atonement. Oh, no. But Marie Antoinette. I don't fucking know. Who cares? Yeah.

The British movies he's in look like you're reading a book instead of watching a movie. Just not for me. Not it. Not doing it. Oh, what's that? Time for This Weekend in Fun. Presented by a recurring sponsor alert, Bird Dogs. Oh, Bird Dogs back.

We love Bird Dogs around here. I actually own one myself, Rosie. But that's not the Bird Dog I'm talking about. I'm talking about the shorts, baby. Built-in liners. They sent us a package yesterday. I opened the package. I took a pair of shorts home, and I wore them this morning to work out in.

How'd it go for you? Straight out of the package. I took a pair of shorts home, and I wore them this morning to work out in. How'd it go for you? Straight out of the box. Fantastic. They have the best liner in the game. Do you feel as though your junk were supported? Liners from other brands? Yes. That's the question. Yes, is the question.

Liners from other brands. I typically steer away from the liner shorts and pants because they don't do it right. Too constricting. Yeah. These are made for the meaty boys. The perfect balance of comfort and support. the liner shorts and pants because they don't do it right too constricting yeah these are these are made for the meaty boys the perfect balance of comfort and support i absolutely the fellows down at the log lodge tavern or rock and bird docks let's just say that yes big big fan oh uh they sent us some joggers too i put them on last night might be the most comfortable pair of joggers that i own they have underrated jog. They have underrated joggers.

They have underrated joggers. My barometer for good athletic shorts at this point is, can I wear them to Lions Municipal Golf Course and not be embarrassed about the athletic shorts that I'm wearing? Bird dogs pass that test 10 times out of 10. If you enter promo code CIRCLING at checkout, you get a free Yeti-style tumbler with every order. It's a metal thermos that keeps your drinks hot or cold.

i have man i'm pretty wide open i would love to step out you guys want to step out you're gonna play your zoccon three days in a row this weekend or what maybe no you're no you're not allowed yeah you're you're revoked yeah dude you're on you're not even on yeah you're on probation i'm not on fucking probation for a year a year yeah you need to check in with me you're my probation officer po yep i'm the judge and probation officer i wear many hats he's a jury too robes. I am also the jury. Wow. Hey, NF Confession, you're weak and in fun. You didn't even mention the Masters. What the fuck's your problem? Oh yeah, I'll be watching the Masters. That goes without

saying. Oh yeah, I'm sure he will. He doesn't even have it on his phone, the app. He didn't download the app. He told me. I'll be watching the Masters. You told me that at a dinner. You really did. Okay. You're like, I just, I'm not like that into it to where I download the app. Yeah, I didn't need to download it because I fucking keep it in the home run every year. I never delete it yet. Dude's so sick.

Yeah, dude. I'm actually making pimento cheese sandwiches on Sunday if you guys want to come over. You're going to break it. Are you home making your pimento? Yeah. I've been growing them out back, the pimento peppers. Really? Yeah.

They're finally ready. Really? You're going're finally ready. Really? You're going to buy pre-shredded cheese or you're going to shred that cheese yourself? Don't worry about it. People don't realize the importance of shredding your own cheese for pimento cheese. As it's the only way you can eat your pimento cheese. You can make it with pre-shredded cheese if you want really subpar pimento cheese. I'm not actually making my homemade pimento cheese.

Why? Because I'd probably just buy a better version somewhere if I wanted to do that. Is it Hatch Chili Fest at Central Market again for the fifth week in a row? You know what? I don't really dig Hatch Chilis. Yeah, if any Central Market C-suite people

are here listening right now, stop doing Hatch Chili Fest. Simply don't need it. Dave, what are you doing this weekend? Kind of awkward. I'm actually going out to my Hatch Chili farm out around Pecos Way. I didn't know you had one. I'm sorry.

Yeah. That's fine. Y'all didn't know. I didn't take it personally. I'm going to be dialed take it personally. Um, I'll be, uh, I'm gonna be dialed to the masters. You know, me, it's my entire personality. I love it. Just everything about it. Just sports crying as I often do pretty stoked. Who's your pick? Uh, I picked roars. I went on a limb and took one of the three best players in the world yesterday. I think Roars gets it done.

I also have been trending for a live winner. I also think Brooks Koepka, winner of a giant Bluetooth speaker recently. I think he might be. I think you might see Roars and Brooks on Sunday. I hope Brooks gets dead last. I don't think he's. Well hope larry mize beats him i'm looking at a video right now okay i'm doing a podcast yeah we're actually recording a podcast going viral and it's it's uh it says high school in 2002 looks so chill and it looks like vintage film like old uh that's when i graduated high school it looks like the eve six here's to tonight's when I graduated high school. It looks like the Eve Six, Here's To Tonight video,

Here's To The Night. This is not that long ago. All right, I'm sorry, Dave. Go ahead. Fuck these people. Dude, Dylan's so invested in your weekend right now. I'm going to be invested in your son's birthday. Thank you.

Thank you. Is it happening? Stop. Man, why are you doing this? I will be there. I want it to. No? Even if it doesn't go down, I'm going to i'm showing up i'm showing i'm fine i'm gonna i'm gonna wish that kid a happy birthday some one way or another my son

turns two on 420 we're having a birthday party for him this weekend master's themed because i'm frat you are uh and And yeah, I'm excited about it. One of my cousins is coming into town this weekend. She's not coming in strictly for the party, but she's coming in to party. So we're going to have fun doing that. The one that I've met? You've met her.

Yeah. We've enjoyed barbecue together. Very sweetly. We've enjoyed barbecue together. We did a match play last year with her. Yeah. Yeah. So, yep, she's making it a routine to come into town.

So you'll probably see me at a lot of no reservation required restaurants over the weekend. You know your boy's hitting mats. If a family member comes into town, you're hitting mats. I'll hit pool burger at some point. Get a burger by the pool. Peaburgs? I'm usually privy to cake by the ocean, but burgers by the pool also work. Get them Scotty style and tell them dave sent you

uh pool burger changed their french fries what do you do when a restaurant changes their french fries on you when you like them previously because they had crinkle cut fries which was a rarity in austin i like that about them no more no more no more crinkles there's a crinkle cut shortage did you see that do they offload their crinkle cut machine i don't know we get like 90 of our crinkle cut fries from russia so yeah who's this the royal we just we in general oh i didn't know that yeah sunday i'm making pimento cheese sandwiches for the masters oh cool you're gonna have us over yeah do you do you shred your own cheese or do you buy it pre-shredded dude you know i stay shreddy they call me shreddy wop do you remember the year i did the uh someone was nice enough to send me their

master's kit wasn't that like last year it's a couple years ago. I was in the old, it was in my old house. It's a pretty good deal. I kind of. The cheese was phenomenal. I kind of wish we would have done it at some point. Yeah. Might do it, might do it in the future. What do they send you?

I think they send you pork, pulled pork or brisket. Like chopped up. I'm pretty sure you get like bags of chips. Get a ton of cups. It's called a taste of the masters. You get a bunch of chips. Pork barbecue, pimento cheese, egg salad. It appears as though you might get some uh some type of arnold palmer mix get chocolate chip cookies you get fake master's menus you get a little you get a little paper

you can put out on the table for the vibe a little party have some friends over to watch no no we got this we got this kid it's actually from the masters it's almost like being there take a cup home it's almost like being there but you're cup home with you. It's almost like being there, but you're not. You're in the suburbs. We're going to try someday. We didn't get it this year and we didn't enter the draw. Oh, man. Next year's the year. We're going to go as a group within the next five years.

And again, I want to put this out there. We talked this yesterday. If anyone in this company randomly like the week of or the day before gets like offered master's tickets. No questions asked. Go for it. I will. Yes, I concur. And I echo Dave's sentiment there.

But if anybody announces live on the podcast that they are going to the masters and I am not going, fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on on you i will be throwing hands i will be throwing hands with anybody that decides to announce that on the podcast without telling me beforehand fool me twice i whip your ass do you have is there anything that's precedent's been set okay the precedent has been set i would not be friends with someone who do that to me i will be launching over a table and fighting someone if they decide to do that again what if someone was like hey i'm going to the Masters and then like let you get all mad and then five minutes later is like, by the way, so are you.

No, I've had it. It's your ticket. I've had enough situations where people around me are going to the Masters and I'm not where I'm no longer find it entertaining. You still hold a little grudge, don't you? A little bit. A little bit. Dylan, I had a two year stretch where like i saw six people next to me get master's

tickets and i got zero it's me personally i got zero yeah like it's almost like it's it's like i wouldn't care about going to the masters as much if i wasn't so close to doing it you know what i mean yeah i'm sorry like you know when you get to something and you're so close you can almost taste it hey you're gonna go you're gonna go not this year i know i'm gonna go eventually you're gonna go i'd like to take my mom some year that's my dream you give me wearing a bucket hat the first t-box you look up like whoa the undulations here are nuts you can't really see it on tv it's crazy where's the car pad i'm gonna go and i'm gonna i'm gonna go on the grounds and I'm going to withhold my takes until we get on the podcast. And I'm just going to, yeah. It's fine.

It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. All right. All right, guys. What a fucking episode. We got to the bottom of a lot today. Yeah.
