all right we're back circling back podcast coming to you live from the washed headquarters in austin texas my name is will defries to my right mr dylan chivery wow thank you will as we are set to discuss time person of the year later on the episode not right now i'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that i was once published by time magazine so um just throwing that out there in case y'all didn't know pretty amazing accomplishment and uh yeah i don't have to brag about it but it's out there people know about it so just want to get out and have it so like i'm not capping right now not capping i'm kind of jealous yeah kind of jealous yeah i always thought it'd be cool to have just one thing published in a major major publication and time time qualifies for that i wouldn't go magazine i think i'd i think i want like the front page of a

newspaper or something yeah like give me like the front page like the new york times like style section or something where i can just you know get a john off but get a john off well like straight facts i'm jelly speaking of john yeah wearing dog i'm on my purple grind today i'm wearing one of the newest hottest items in in all streetwear which is the Sunday self-care club sweatshirt which you cannot purchase anymore I didn't buy enough yeah straight up facts and brought it up pretty comfy though pretty cozy it looks dope you know what color it is I I didn't until I I learned yesterday when I I said what what are the colors that threw I said is it green or is it black?

And Sally looked at me like I was a total idiot. It's plum, dog. Imagine not knowing that it's plum. Yeah, I don't see plum. No one eats plums. No one eats plums. When's the last time someone had one plum? When I was a kid, I used to eat plums.

Exactly, but no one's eating plums anymore. That's true. When's the last time you've been like, we're walking through the store and you're like, oh, should I grab some plums? Is everyone just out on plums anymore that's true when's the last time you've been like we're walking through the store and you're like oh should i grab some plums is everyone just out on plums i think once it got i think once it got um you know the word got commandeered to refer to gentlemen's testicles right maybe that maybe that was the downturn for it you know it's kind of like like how like after after the 1940s, people stopped naming their sons Adolph and stuff.

Maybe that's what happened to plums. I can't say. I don't even recall seeing them in the produce section at the grocery store. Plums are extinct. The human plum, Randy Trimbaki. Hi, I'm here too, producer Randy. Not to brag, Dylan, but I was actually time person of the year in 2006.

Stop. I don't know if you know that. Stop. Stop. That is such a dork joke. I didn't know it. Do you know what he's doing right now? No.

In 2006, time named you the person of the year. Like officially? Everybody was the person of the year. That's so lame. I had to look it up. I didn't know what year it was. That's why I stood person of the year. That's so lame. I had to look it up. I didn't know what year it was. That's why I stood over here. Yeah.

That's so lame. Come on. Like what are we doing here? Like that's just stupid. There's a lot of people out there who I could look in the eyes and be like, you were not time person of the year in 2006. I was a scumbag in 2006. You were some real shitheads.

Yeah. I was 19 years old. I just put on like 30 pounds from finding out what how good beer was i was in terrible shape that was that was my my fat era like if you took a picture of me from 2006 and put it on a time cover it would be just an absolute embarrassment to me and my family yeah i was sixth grade bowl cut shut up probably like five foot sixth grade sixth grade i was gross i was sloppy why because i i ate whatever i want i drank a lot of beer and i didn't sniff a weight room the three things that like really killed me were that like i started i started drinking heavily in college because like it was

really fun you know what i mean and so like just that influx of calories alone i think jarred my system as someone who doesn't often work out. I worked out a lot in high school, but it was mainly high school mandated workouts for sports teams and stuff. So when I just got lazy and started partying more, that didn't help. The stir fry station at the food hall didn't help. And the microwavable Mary Calendar chicken pot pies did not help and it was just it turned me into an absolute monster there's this picture of me i'm standing my buddy's like river house

and i'm standing like in a river like like calf deep basically and i have these khaki shorts on that are like to my knee like they're really long and i have a backwards hat on like a shag sticking out and i'm just I'm just gross. Like my body is just gross. And I've often revisited that picture as like a source of motivation for me. There's one photo that's been taken of me where I'm in the background of a birthday party and I'm smiling in the background. And when I saw that photo, it was like an immediate, Oh, okay.

Got to get it together. Got to start going to the gym every day. And I, I i that's when i joined the gym and started running to florida georgia line i might i might share the picture the aforementioned picture it sounds frat it's it's it is frat nothing we just said isn't frat yeah i was uh probably like a year a year or two removed from from college when this picture was taken i mean you know what yeah that's probably right year to remove from college i want to see like let loose randy i have you ever let it rip

i i have a very similar photo it's not only is it frat it was at my frat it was at the very end of senior year after i've been a part-time student and like in 12 credit hours student that had you know golf bowling and tennis as some of my credit hours i would did nothing but go on benders senior as you had golf as one of your credit hours yeah it was one credit hour class have you sent your have you sent your new golf bag to your uh your old professor yeah your old golf professor no but i look at that i'm like oh my i was just that body is trash i had the fortunate thing i took a independent exercise class that you could take for like one credit hour and you could just go to the gym like once a week and I ended up

not being able to complete it because I got a hernia and instead I had to write a five page paper about sports hernias Chad GPT would have come up huge at that point but I was like alright five page paper on hernia versus going to the gym across campus every single like day

or every single week for the rest of the semester i can do that you chose the paper i i physically couldn't work out the doctor told me like you can't work out anymore you have a hernia you have to get this repair wasn't really a choice well no yeah no okay you know that the guy didn't read my paper there's no way that the guy that's in charge of independent exercise read my paper. Wow, he actually did it. Yeah, this dumbass wrote the paper. I wasn't like Randy, though. I didn't make the period size 13.

Come on, my guy. What? Dude, you know I can pump out words quickly. If I have the option to write a paper for anything, I'll do that. Yeah, change those margins and 13 size periods. No, dude, that's scumbag material. Y'all can't be doing that. write a paper for anything i'll do that yeah change those margins and 13 size periods no dude that's scumbag material y'all can't be doing that i tried i tried to pull that shit like we all did didn't we yeah the period one was just too easy not to wait what was the period one you just you

replaced all the periods with size 13 periods and it made your paper longer oh i didn't know that trick oh it's a good one i try to do all the text by like i would go up like tenths of a point it's like oh maybe they won't notice when i was really when i was in third grade we were told that we had to write cursive and so i decided that i was going to uh use our new computer to to type out the the sentences that we were supposed to write in cursive i just typed them in the cursive font on the computer and I turned it in. In a script font. Yeah.

And the teacher lived two doors down from us on our street. And she walked down with the paper and gave it to my parents and was like, hey, can you have him write this, please? Like, I don't even know what I was thinking. Like, that obviously wasn't going to fly. Who lived three dollars down for

you was it superman stop stop stop dude just no okay with that being said i guess it's time to do some official announcements first and foremost as always we got that row back going the wilmont's polos are still available if you're looking for the gift for the person in your life who needs it which is pretty much everybody at this point the wil mons polo goes stupid hard backer 20 gets you 20 off uh next week on patreon we're doing circling conspiracies or some note touching based um i actually found my conspiracy today it's somewhat current oh give us a hint what field is it in? Is it science? Is it government? Record keeping. Record keeping.

Okay. That doesn't do much for me, but okay. I didn't think it would. I didn't think it would. I don't want to give too much away. I don't want you to see this story and be like, oh, Will's doing that. Like vinyl? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Okay.

I was wondering if that's it. Yeah. No. I'm not going to take that. I'm not going to make you guys sit through a vinyl conspiracy. That would be mean of me. Yeah. that would just be awful of me yeah um and then yesterday we obviously did exactly five minutes the most electric podcast in wash media history uh and we're doing list or voicemails 888-618-4422 again 888-618-4422 this week we got the washed

newsletter going out wash.substack.com. Your boy just put his column in. I admit to crying in it. I'm not going to be ashamed of crying. It's a good cry. It's a sad cry, but also a happy cry at the same time. But without further ado, I think we need to get to what everyone wants. And that, my friends, is Will's five-star review of the week.

The audience is always ready for that. They love it. They love it. They line up at the door beforehand. Also, while I'm at it, happy 50th anniversary to I think it's the longest song that the Grateful Dead ever played. Any guesses on how long this song was?

The longest? It was played in Cleveland, Ohio on December 6, 1973. It lasted 37 minutes. It's 43 minutes and 26 seconds. Okay, it wasn't far off. Not far off, yeah. You know, I used to listen to a DJ Screws song called June 27th.

I think it was June 27th. 38 minutes long. Love it. There's a band that you definitely don't know about called no effects who has like an 18 minute like punk song that just never lets up and it's great yeah the the june 27 song is just a bunch of people just freestyling over a beat that goes real like dummy hard toss it on later we could get chopped and screwed it's it's it's something it's it is very chopped and screwed all right go ahead's five-star review of the week.

I got some interesting news. I don't know if this guy meant to give us three out of five stars because he literally says that he's giving five stars in the review. So I think he might need to go back and re-edit this. Did he fat-thumb it? He might have fat-thumbed it, yeah. It's from mtackpipboy. Okay.

It says, I'm torn. It's giving five-star pod vibes. He said, I love these guys. Tuned in on a drive across the country in 2017 and haven't looked back. Listened to these guys through Iraq on deployment to make me feel at home. Their fun and easy banter is some of the best in the game, but some of their content is just... reckless.

Whoa. He said, I said it, reckless. They take bets with absolutely no follow-through. The people want bleached buttholes and tattoos. Stop teasing us. Respect the odds. I would feel like an irresponsible listener if I didn't hold you guys accountable.

Heads up, Kings. Ball's in your court for that five-star review, but I need some bleach, Dorn. The three stars was very intentional, it sounds like. Yeah, the more I think about it, it was intentional. Fuck. He does have a good point. Dave said that he thinks that we might make good on this

while he's out. Dave's out today. He's getting eyelid rejuvenation surgery today, so he's going to be out for the next, I think, week or so. Yeah, he just stacked up all of his procedures one after another to take a little time off in December. Not a big deal. I'm really excited for his new eyelids, though.

He's had some mid-eyelids for a while now. Why am I more willing to do the butthole bleach than I am the fuckboy haircut? Because no one would see it? I guess you're right. To be honest, the fuckboy haircut for you is actually not as bad as for me because you're a hat guy like you wear a hat a lot you would be a hat guy for a few weeks if you got it i would i would totally do it if it just meant that i was like at home and then went

to the office every day the issue that i have with it is like if i go to pick up like lunch from somewhere then i walk in looking like i'm trying way too hard at something if that haircut with your beard would be a weird uh juxtaposition if you thank you thank you who is this like okay i don't know what you're trying to do here sir randy you're right it's because no one would see the butthole getting it would be absolutely humiliating yeah why though but you'd be the guy in the meme in the corner of the because no one would see the butthole getting it would be absolutely humiliating yeah why though but you'd be the guy the meme in the corner of the party no one knows i have a bleach butthole but if someone saw you the fuckboy haircut they immediately know but how am i

gonna prove it i got i got i got a like document we're gonna get it we're good because you're gonna have to be on your back with your legs spread eagle i'd assume i don't think it's like that you don't well i'm gonna assume it is and so we're gonna have to get a tripod and we'll put a camera directly over your face the entire time so we'll see nothing but your face reacting to your butthole getting bleached benny would you be willing to come with me to document it in a in a safe for work manner i yes i don't understand here's the thing that i don't get why do people do it is it just an aesthetic thing yeah there's no there's no like actual utility to doing it i i right i think it just looks cleaner thing? Yeah. There's no actual utility to doing it? Right.

I think it just looks cleaner. Is it common? I don't think so. Okay. So, okay, people in pornography, it's a big thing for them because their buttholes are on camera, right? Yeah. And so I think that's what started the movement. People are like, oh, if it looks good on them, it's probably going to look good on me too.

Okay, okay, okay. I've got some next are like, oh, if it looks good on them, it's probably going to look good on me too. Okay. Okay. Okay. I've got some next-gen stats on this if you want to hear them. Sherry Johnson, clinic manager at HP Health of Knightsbridge, told the Mail Online that they've seen a rise of 23% in requests for anal bleaching in the last year. The majority of the treatments have been laser therapy with around 5% opting for cream bleach treatment. So a lot of people doing lasers down there. Laser beams.

Lasers. Wait, I would rather do the cream i mean for you yeah i think for you if you're just you're just trying to pay off a short-term bet so i think you go cream i don't think you go i don't think you go straight up laser no oh yeah you gotta you probably gotta do it in several different visits yeah when i got my armpit botox like he was hitting all the glands just like straight up like everywhere and like i feel like if you were doing the laser thing like they'd just be shooting laser beams up your two hole all right if i'm gonna do this it's gonna it's gonna be a content play we're gonna do content i'm gonna make a whole thing of it no that i don't want to be the light will shine in your back door one day dylan i don't want to be super public about it though that's gonna stay with me

worried I'm going to spell it wrong for some reason, even though I just have to read it right there. You know, I'm the same way. Even when I read along with you while you're doing it. Yeah. I'm like, I'm going to get this wrong. Yeah. It's just always scary.

What, Randy? Something funny? Say it, bitch. wrong yeah it's it's just always scary what randy something funny i say a bitch i have a friend in high school that you know when they go around do like popcorn reading where it's like all right you have to read this paragraph on stuff one he would just read a sentence at a time then look up at the teacher and they go oh no keep going he just read one sentence and just keep doing it until the teacher never called on him again. I respect that grind. You know, reading aloud in class growing up was one of my biggest fears. It was one of my favorite things to do because I moved it a long time.

I played a hurry up offense. I was like, let's go, people. This is fucking boring. Let's do this. You're built for it. I just hated sitting there for the slow readers. I was just like, figure it out. I got hella nervous, man.

And I would choke over words. And it sucked. I hated it. I didn't like it in elementary school. But once we got to middle school and I realized that I was a quick reader, I was like, okay, I need to get through this. There was a time at St. Edward's College when I had to take a religion class. And I had to read scripture aloud. And I had never in my life done that. That's tougher. And I started reading, and I just – I got super nervous, and I kind of like froze up, and I think about it all the time, and it sticks – it like has stayed with me.

The teacher finally was like, okay, let's go to the next person. She could tell I was having a tough time. The one thing I did struggle with was Shakespeare. We did Antigone, and we all had to take like parts and read parts and it was just like i couldn't keep up yeah it was so over my head man isn't there a conspiracy out there that william shakespeare didn't exist i've never heard this one i feel like there's one out there just putting it out there all right famously died on his birthday i think it's time guys i think it's time it's a big time of year for us man end of the year we're looking back on the year that was today uh noted dorn publisher time named taylor swift

times person of the year do you guys have any feelings on this do you think that's just she was also time person here in 2006 this is as chalk as it gets i think yeah she had an enormous year she yeah like it was it was in the bag for her she'd be if she wasn't already she became the most famous person in the world this year yeah it's like everyone's talking about her and then the travis kelsey thing is like she made him extra famous and he was already famous it's crazy that like britney mahomes is now just like in the royal family yeah like she's just she's just it she she had herself a 2023 well i think we'd be remiss with times person of the year announcement i think we'd be remiss not to do circling backs person of the year i think that's a good call well prior to this episode we uh we created a somewhat of a short list of some people that we could go through and maybe

dub our person of the year. Right now, I think we have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. We have nine people right now that are up for it. And we took this exercise very seriously. We did. We didn't want anyone here that didn't deserve it. We didn't want anyone here that didn't have some type of hand in making Circling Back what it is. And so should we just go through this list one by one before we take our votes? Yeah. I think we know who Dave's vote is for, so we'll just hold that till the end and just do it. The first one, the first person that got brought up was noted Rick Dick rejuvenator Brian Johnson. Yeah.

Remind me his method of rejuvenating his dick. I don't remember his what exactly electroshock electroshock he had a blood boy his son is also his son is his blood boy yeah it's yeah yeah okay which if you're gonna have a blood boy and your son's willing to do it like that's kind of a good nice little scenario you have for yourself there i might use parks as my blood boy at some point that's fine yeah that's fine what you just add their blood to yours yeah i think you uh i don't know how it works i don't remember what the word is but uh yeah i think you just uh i think you do some blood replacement a transfusion yeah oh dude i

fucking love transfusions on the golf course right right yeah or is it my blood's just dude do you ever do you ever fucking have you ever traveled with tequila in it oh stop okay that's an intern klein move the dick rejuvenation guy is number one i think well he's not number one he's just our first number one on our list yeah yeah yeah he's yeah uh number two uh is someone you might you might have ran into him at a crazy event that was happening or you didn't because he stayed home if you you scroll to the Too Much Dip soundboard, there's a, we can play it. Because, you know, I'm on the board all the time now.

Right, Randy? It's true. You ran the board yesterday. What, are you talking about this one? Bro, let's go out this weekend. There's a crazy event happening. Obviously, it's Timon, dude. Like, Timon's a heavy hitter for this one.

That guy's hilarious because no one would ever try to, like, get their get their boys like excited about going out by saying there's a crazy event happening. Dude, there's a crazy event happening. What's that accent? South African, I think he is. Yeah, I think he might be South African. Really? He puts out Nordic vibes to me though. That sounds Eastern European.

He's so Nordic. Yeah, but I don't know if I can differentiate between the South African accent and some European accents. Latvian or something. I don't know. You're super deep in Latvian accents? Yeah. I figured. Uh-huh.

Timon, just the name Timon is absolute heat. Yeah. You think his boys call him Moan? You know the girls do. Dude, they have to. Hell yeah. What's up, Moan? Yeah.

Can you imagine Moan in your ear? Dude. Oh oh this is crazy that guy's hilarious he's also in really good shape i don't know if good shape is like the the way to describe him he's like he's overflowing with muscle it's like a cartoon he's got the he's got the one of the biggest chests i've ever seen in my entire life he's a chest guy i you think i'm a chest guy i'm not the timon is well if you listen to this week's retail therapy dropping on sund, you'll find out that apparently chests are going to be the next body part of 2024.

Really? That's what people are calling for. Let's fuck. It's the year of the chest. Yeah. I was actually early on this. At my end list at the retail therapy thing at one place I went to, I said, expose chest and chains.

Yeah. Randy's got his chain on today. Dan is just fist pumping right now. Oh, yeah. Dan's a... No, Dan's a no dan's a bat guy in a arm guy world dan has a big chest bit he's barrel chested he's got a big chest speaking of big chest we got our next guy so is randy randy has a chest on yeah he's got a chest

on it i don't thank you we don't have to talk about my chest it's all right um our next guy also has a big chest uh you guys you probably saw him on the timeline a couple times this year kevin james has anyone had a bigger year than kevin like in terms of like the the net growth of his brand this year i don't think anyone's had a bigger come up than kevin james uh gen z discovered kevin james this year because of the meme are they ironically watching like king queens probably so there's surely there was an uptick in that show right good i want these kids to fall in love with leah ramini like everyone else did, and then they can start watching her show on A&E or whatever it's on where she's anti-

What's it called? Scientology. I would say the only bigger meme was the Mike O'Hearn stuff. I can't remember if that was this year or not. Who is Mike O'Hearn? The big bodybuilder guy that just like- Dave and I love them. He was everywhere.

Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I don't know this- No, this guy's not the biggest meme. Is this the one standing at the computer? bodybuilder guy that just like dave and i love them he was everywhere hold on hold on hold on i don't know no this guy's not the biggest the other one standing at the computer this guy's just a bodybuilder dude kevin james yammed on him yeah dude kevin james that meme was hilarious i i had a i laughed for like a week straight when that there was a community of people who i saw when this meme started popping up there was like a small section of twitter that was complaining about how this image was owned by Getty and how people shouldn't be tweeting it out

because they don't have the rights to it. And I've never gotten so on, like I've gotten mad at things on Twitter before, but I was just like, are you guys seriously policing memes right now? That is unbelievable. You're such a dork. What a boner.

Plus the reason they put the watermark on there is so people know that it's owned by Getty. Like they're getting free pub out of this yeah like it's like one it's twitter two like why are you such a dork that you're fighting for a company like getty i wish i would have seen seen that on the t i would have dunked all over them people are like oh yeah like the watermarks are literally on there like you know you don't own that oh my god and then the people i saw people cropping it out like cool like yeah dude cool hope getty sees this has getty made like a stink about it probably not i don't think it's hilarious

if getty decided to take down everyone's thing i'd be like okay well that was a little aggressive like take your football and go home dude getty subscriptions i believe are very expensive they're insanely expensive that's why grand x went with shutterstock which just had a completely inferior catalog shutterstock was hilarious it was so fucking bad yeah it was the worst like it wasn't the worst but it was like i ended up finding a different site that i got most of our photos from from pgp because i was so tired of using shutterstock i would write an article that was like football related or something so i would go to i needed an image i'd go to shutterstock and type in like um college football game whatever and it would be just like a generic like animated football is on a piece of grass terrible like terrible okay this probably won't use this but

thank you thank you shutterstock it was just the worst the shutterstock babe of the day was was a fun that was good that was a good one that no numbers. No one clicked on that column. It was hilarious. Yeah, no one clicked that. We have our fourth candidate today. He was probably the biggest hero within the WASH Media HQ universe this year. It was the dude who was built absolutely different, who fixed our air conditioning completely alone when it went out.

I met him here that day, the day that we were supposed to get our AC or ac unit replaced he shows up on time i think it was like 9 a.m and he starts to you know assess the layout of the office and you know figure out what's what i'm like all right you got until you got guys coming to help he goes oh yeah they'll be here in 30 minutes 30 minutes goes by 45 minutes go by i'm like he's i said you guys where are they man he's like they uh they bailed on me something like oh great we're gonna have to delay like a full day to get you know so we can get a crew in here to help him nope he's like i got it he hossed this thing by himself he was here for like 10 hours that day it's like 105 degrees outside so hot obviously no ac inside the office yeah i came back around like two o'clock and like

he was just still working by himself i'm like this guy is just built different unbelievable he was our hero dog walk back into the next day it's just blowing cold air amazing that guy needs i like did we did we give that guy a good like recommendation to the company that we used? Cause he needs, he needs to be shouted out. I let our property management know cause they recommended this company. I let them know that he was our hero. Good. Just host it all by himself. Good. Good. Uh, well a little later in the year, we had another hero into our lives, a ghost tour Vincent. Uh, he was probably the most electric person we've spoken to in a while. Uh, us a lot of stories i've actually been downtown and walked by some of the spots that he

hit and i've gotten to tell people like oh they used to cremate bodies right here there's a murder suey right here the cremation portion of that building blows people's minds when you tell them they're like what it's a cool fun fact it's a great fun fact it's it's wild like i didn't think i'd get anything from the ghost tour, actually, because I only partially believe in ghosts. But like, I walked away from that tour with a new historical perspective on several buildings in Austin where I'm like, that's fucking cool. That is cool.

They used to burn dead bodies here. Yeah. I want to go stay at the hotel downtown now. Like, Vincent just got me kind of going. Driscoll? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well known to be haunted

hotel yeah i'm not i'm not i'm not in the uh staycation uh portion of my life at this point though yeah trying to save that skrill dog right i feel that uh after uh ghost tour vincent we have someone that's been near and dear to dylan's heart for a while now um it's our first ai generated person that's going to be on our person of the year short list it's mila sofia she released a video today is what i'm being told well i mean video is she she's she posted on twitter like i dropped a youtube video of my you know my best moment my favorite moments of the summer and it's just still images of her like in a bathing suit how many people have watched this video uh she has over 2 000 followers subscribers that's so depressing yeah that's so fucking depressing comments are what really kill me yeah but they're simpy they're simpy and nice right

they're not being mean to her right yeah they think she's perfect okay and they have she's so beautiful is she perfect you know she's artificial so as far as artificial um people go she's pretty up there yeah she's pretty flawless it's weird i i can't believe that like for someone like you who has so much trouble like typing and like hunting and pecking sure i'm just amazed that you've been able to run this account so efficiently yeah it's not me folks i i just don't i don't know i just can't imagine like clicking a like button on an ai generated person who uh honestly doesn't even look like of age i i still i still am troubled by the um only fans milla sofia doesn't have one as far as i know but there are artificial artificial intelligent AI models.

Artificially intelligent. Thank you. Who have OnlyFans accounts and they go full nude on them. So someone's making money off of this shit. And that really upsets me. I mean, Randy, you've been saying like so many girls are artificial these days. I was going to do the Kendrick line. I don't know it.

Is that Kendrick Lamar? Show me something real Like stretch marks Hey dude Real G's are silent Like the ones in lasagnas Boom There it is Our next person on the short list

Someone who kind of struck a little fear into our hearts Someone who we might have actually met unknowingly The Austin Serial Killer Dude I pulled him from his, I pulled you from his grasp that night. I'm not going to apologize for doing some on the ground, boots on the ground investigations that night. I did what you need to do in order to get on the radar

of the Austin serial killer. I got absolutely obliterated with the boys. When I made you call an Uber and you walked outside to the curb waiting and that dude followed you out there yeah dude he was gonna take me i was like uh-uh he was gonna take me player i had to step in dog yeah dog thank you yeah thank you we probably shouldn't celebrate a serial killer like in this way no but i mean we've had people of the year who are i think we've had people of the year who are not painted in a great light wasn't hitler yeah

hitler was adolf hitler yeah. Adolf? Adolf. What was the justification for that? Time per person a year is not, it's like the most influential person. That doesn't have to be a good influence. Was this before, was this pre-Holocaust? I think so, yeah.

I think it was like 1939. Sheesh. Bad luck. 1938. So before he invaded Poland. Yeah, 1938. He had a good pr team not a good maybe he had tree pain of taylor swift's pr team yeah that could be it our next one is an absolute king who i've actually considered uh gifting some money to in the form of a cameo uh george santos he's really having a moment right now. He is.

I don't know if I approve of everything that he's done. But in a government where we have so many just terrible characters that we see on a daily basis on both sides, it's really refreshing to see someone make an absolute mockery of it all. Yeah. His skin is so perfect while doing it. yeah his skin is so perfect while doing it this dude is um he's he's he's like a surreal character like he's like it's like he's not real my worry is that he's actually going to go to jail and then we get he's taken from us he george can't go to jail no we need george free just for the content but like he's such a celebrated person in so many random circles at this point.

Is he actually? Well, as a joke, I think. It's like a bit. I feel like if he went to jail, maybe the dudes in there would actually embrace him and be like, dude, this is our king. We love you, dude. He's going to go to a nice cushy prison if he goes anywhere. He's going to a white collar prison.

Yeah, he's not too worried about it. He just can't stop lying. That's the beauty of it. I like questioning every single thing that comes out of his mouth you can't believe a single word he says it's perfect it's perfect our final our final candidate for our circling back person of the year is the guy who refused to scoop the bagel for the californian not the guy who wanted the bagel scooped but the guy who refused to scoop the bagel. Who I imagine to be just the most New York person of all time. What murder!

Yeah, he talks like that. Bro, I'm not scooping your bagel. I'm not scooping your bagel, bro. I hope that if anyone out there works at a bagel shop and you're scooping bagels out for people, I hope you take note of what happened here. If I owned a bagel shop and I took pride in my work and my bagels, if someone asked me

to do that, I might be a little put off myself. Like, you know what? If you want to do this, I'll do it for you, but I don't appreciate you asking me to scoop out the good shit in my bagel. I'm going to put a sign on the wall. I might just call my bagel shop no scooping player. We don't scoop. Yeah.

Scoop? Nope. I want all the carbs. What's your favorite bagel everything i don't have a place no i'm not asking for a place but in terms of if you're if you're getting a bagel at a bagel shop you're going straight to the everything toasted everything with plain cream cheese i'm fine with that i don't eat i don't eat everything bagels anymore not because they don't taste good they taste amazing but i don't eat them inels anymore. Not because they don't taste good. They taste amazing. But I don't eat them in public.

They're too messy. They're very messy. Never knowing you're going to get a poppy seed up in that mouth. It gives you that onion-y breath. You just got to be careful. Bring it all on, man. That everything seasoning hummus I had was pretty good. That stuff's good.

They've got everything seasoned pretzels that go pretty hard too. What's your go-to bagel? If I'm just doing bagel and cream cheese, it's going to be blueberry okay but if it's like a sandwich cheddar jalapeno jalapeno cheddar goes pretty hard goes pretty hard i've been i've been kind of all over the map lately with my bagels i've gone onion maybe a little have you ever just had a salt bagel just got like flex of salt on the top of it and you get somebody like good ass cream cheese in there. That sounds good. Get a schwein. Salt bae? No. Like chunky salt?

Yeah. Yep. Yeah. I'm into it. It's more of a salt play than anything. Yeah. I think it's time. I think we need to run through our circling back people of the year nominees, and I think we need to each individually vote.

I'm going to go through these one more time to refresh everybody. We have Brian Johnson, the dick rejuvenation guy. We have Timon, who goes to crazy events or doesn't. Kevin James, the dude whojuvenation guy. We have Timon, who goes to crazy events or doesn't. Kevin James, the dude who fixed our air conditioning alone. Ghost tour Vincent, Mila Sofia, the Austin serial killer, George Santos, and the guy who refused to scoop the bagel. I've got three hitters here that I'm deciding between.

Can I give you guys my three? Yeah, I have two on the set. Yeah, go ahead. I'm between the guy who refused to scoop the bagel, just because i think he's kind of an unsung hero a little bit like i kind of like that the person of the year could live in anonymity um i think the next one for me would probably be uh the dude who fixed our air conditioning alone i you just when you have a dog like that in your life you just have to acknowledge them and then my final person would be Timon. Okay.

We share one. The guy who fixed our air conditioning alone is in my top two. Okay. The other one is Ghost Tour Vincent. Really? You're giving Vincent the nod. I appreciate Vincent, man. He's in it for the passion.

Did we hit Vincent with like a cash tip or anything? He would have loved a $2 bill. We've been mowed him a tip, I believe. Okay. He definitely would have loved a $2 bill. He would have been so fucking pumped up. I think if we're just doing the vote here, I mean, my top two shares two of yours, but we all share one.

Timon is one, and then my other guy is the guy that fixed the air conditioning alone. Okay. Was it August when that happened? It was so hot, dude. I saw some slander on the TL about how the circling back boys weren't, in fact, built different

because we did it from Dave's couch. To that, I will say, one, the episodes from Dave's couch were fucking electric. Two, it was so hot. It was so hot. It was a brutal, like it's always really hot in Austin during the summer. It was a particularly brutal summer here. You couldn't be in this office for more than five minutes without just sweating your ass off.

It was miserable. Yeah. It was terrible. Since we all share that guy, that might be our guy. But you know Dave is voting for Timon, though. That's true. Like Dave is 100% voting for Timon. When we asked dave for his nominees the first person he put in was timone not even flinching so we have a three-way tie we have a two-way tie between we have three votes

for timone three votes for the dude who fixed our air conditioning august 30th was the when we were at dave's couch okay yeah it's a hot time of year folks how are we gonna should we should we let the should we let the backers vote between those two yeah okay they don't they're gonna go timon though because they didn't get to enjoy yeah that's true that's true that's true it didn't mean as much to them timon is on the board the soundboard yeah you can't put the ac guy on the soundboard though maybe which is ac sounds some brown noise for the boys yeah well how are we gonna do this i didn't know we were gonna be at a standstill should we call it brett right now i think based on my slack messages to brett i think he's not awake right now which i respect he's on west coast time so he's allowed he's allowed to

be sleeping he's at a crazy event last night sleeping. He was at a crazy event last night. Yeah, he's probably at a crazy event last night in West LA. Well, fuck. I don't know what to do. We can do co-people of the year.

I think we put it to the vote. They're not going to vote for our air conditioning guy though and that's a travesty. I think it's Timon, dude. Let's just give it to Timon. I'll do it. I'm giving it to Timon. I'm taking, I rescind i rescinded the guy all right i think it has to be timone

let's give it to fucking timone all right i'm gonna make our timone i'm gonna make our timone graphic after this episode today it's going up hey timone if you're out there if you're listening thank you for straying us away from the crazy events that were happening so we could build a relationship with other things that are more important in life like family and god we really do appreciate that what if we get on his radar that'll be huge for us we could build a relationship with other things that are more important in life, like family and God. We really do appreciate that. What if we get on his radar? That'll be huge for us. We could probably get him.

Oh, these guys love me. I don't know if we get Timon. I don't know if we could get him. That's tough. Can we speak to a new sponsor? Not a new sponsor. Can we speak to one of our sponsors today? A little earn in action?

and trust member fdic let's talk some golf i haven't played golf since august it's not great i haven't played golf since the spring. Have you been privy to the news that's been going on in the golf world, Dylan? Kind of. I don't really know how to feel about it, mainly because I don't know if I have all the facts in place. I mean, this was chatter several months ago from what I recall, and I didn't know there was a new development.

Well, it's official. The rollback is in full effect. Can you explain what the rollback is? You know what? I'm going to explain what the rollback is, but before I do so, I need to enable ads on golf.com. The ball, they took some pop out of the ball. Well, okay. So here, I'm just going to read you a little segment of this column so that I don't get anything incorrect. Shout out to the No Laying Up boys who are doing a great job with this on their Twitter feed. This says the stage has officially been set for a golf ball rollback

and it will include recreational golfers. The governing bodies announced Wednesday morning. Following a proposal in March that saw the USGA and RNA float the idea of implementing a model local rule ball for professionals and elite amateurs the governing governing bodies announced a revision to the ball testing conditions which will take effect in january 2028 for professional and january 2030 for recreational golfers so i don't i don't know if they're i don't know how they're changing it because 30 2030 so we got a minute this says under the revised ball testing conditions equipment manufacturers will have new offerings tested at 125 mile per hour

club head speed an equivalent to an 183 mile per hour ball speed i can't swing a club 125 miles per hour not many people can if i swung when I swing as hard as I possibly can, and I am trying to, and I'm trying, I'm only trying to get club head speed. I don't even sniff 120. I think 125, I think probably 5% of golfers can achieve that. It's insane. Like including amateurs. And so they have all these other, all these other parts of it that go into it. But now the current conditions that were implemented 20 years ago, before all this technology really became like crazy technology, it was 120 miles per hour instead of 125. So they were testing everything at a slower speed. And so now with everyone getting better and faster than

the testing, I think that's why, so like they're rolling back to testing but what are they going to do with the balls if they're rolling back the balls that the issue here for me is that like are we going to have all of our boys just going out and buying like a million pro v1s right now and just playing with these for the rest of their lives i know golf balls have a shelf life. Wait, can you... Can you... Wait, this applies to everyone. Can you go out and buy... 2030, can you go buy a regular ball? Are they all going to be like this? I don't know.

See, that's... Okay. I'm just going to Google what's happened. I should have researched this before we even brought this up. I'm an idiot. I think that they're just making it. I don't know. I think it's the golf ball, though,

because when they're testing out the balls with the clubs, they're adjusting that. So, yeah, it's the golf ball. Why not just go out and buy a bunch of balls in 2029 and then just play with them for the next couple of years? Don't golf balls have a shelf life and you can't actually use them for five years after the fact? I have no idea.

I think they turn into rocks. Really? I don't know. Do they harden? I don't't know i remember back in the day when we were like really you know when you were young and you got like new sporting equipment you thought it was like the coolest shit in the world and you were like obsessed with all the things you were supposed to do remember my buddy got some taylor made golf balls and he said that you were supposed to store them in the refrigerator and we were like that is so sick dude we got to put our golf balls in the fridge i'll tell you brother i haven't kept one around enough to know lose them in the woods that's good you could use a rollback maybe you can't reach the woods uh i don't know if it's gonna help me that much no uh this okay i mean technology it's not slowing

down rory is very in favor of this which automatically makes me start to be in favor of it. I don't really want golf to become some power game because golf has always been a game of skill and stuff. The game has changed. It sucks. I know that the rollback won't affect me, how I play versus the people that we play with, but it sucks being short now.

I used to not be long, long, but I could keep up now. I used to be like, I used to not be like long, long, but I could keep up with everybody. Now I'm short and I just can't keep up with everybody. And like, I need the distance. I mean, people like, like fitness is, has changed a lot. People are in better shape now. People know how to train to be longer. Technology is crazy. I mean, if you if you look at if you if you hold a driver from 2023 in one hand and one from like 1990 and the other they are incredibly different yeah the size of the of the head is is massive i mean it's the difference is massive so i mean what you can't you can't shorten golf courses i mean i'm sorry lengthen golf courses i guess you

could but that's a whole lot of trouble i think i think it's probably more i think it's actually probably more something had to be done probably smarter to just make the technology a little stifled i mean these guys these professionals a 330 yard par four or 350 yard par four they're going for it yeah i can't yeah you know what i mean? Yeah. Game's not, the game is not supposed to be played that way. By the way, this segment was called two guys who know nothing about the golf ball rollback. Talk about the golf ball rollback. So we're, we're right. We're crushing this segment based on how we originally thought about it, giving the people what they expected. I do have two different things I want to talk about in the

golf world. Uh, one is, uh, we got John Rahm allegedly going to live for 450 million pounds i don't know what that equates to in uh in usd but that that seems like a significant amount of money for our boy john rom let me see a pound is one point there's a dollar Holy shit. Yeah, he's doing well for himself. I'd go to live for 450 million pounds. They got John? Not yet. It's not official, but it's very rumored. I don't like that.

The next thing I want to ask you, Dylan, is a hypothetical. You've been to Augusta National Golf Course. I have. Beautiful. I've never been there. I'm getting a lot of pressure to go to a practice round this year.

A lot of my family got practice round tickets for the Tuesday practice, and so it's kind of fallen on me to go to a practice round this year. A lot of my family got practice round tickets for the Tuesday practice. And so it's kind of fallen on me to go out and figure out how to get there. Anyone's got a lead for me. I would love one. So they have tickets. They've got tickets. I gave up my ticket.

I think I had, I think I had a ticket. I had a ticket offered to me and I thought there was someone in my family who deserved it more and who would have a really good time with the people that were going. And so I offered that ticket and said, I'll figure it out. I'll figure it out if I can make it. I didn't know you were that nice. It was one of the nicer things I've ever done. If this was a Thursday or Friday ticket. You can find one. I'm going. Yeah. I feel like finding a Tuesday practice ticket would be pretty easy. Here's the question though. This question starts off with the first part. Okay. Would you take $1 million, just no questions asked, or $10 million, but you have to shoot nine under at Augusta

in less than eight hours, but you get as many mulligans as you want? Do you think that's even in the realm of possibility for you? As many mulligans as I want? Yeah, so you can reload on anything. So you hit a bad drive, you can just reload and try to hit a drive until you hit a perfect drive down the middle of the fairway. Does the mulligan only apply to drives?

It applies to every single thing. So you can hit as many putts as you want. You just have eight hours to go nine under at Augusta. Part of me thinks I could do it, but I'm like, hold on. Am I willing to give up a million dollars to prove that I can do that? You get eight hours to do it? Yeah. You could to do it yeah think we'll think you could absolutely but you have okay you're probably playing augusta in like five hours

normally because it's going to be a difficult course you're walking it do you think you could actually do it nine under i think i'm shooting like 120 at augusta just normally so in order to get to nine under i'm gonna have to be reloading on like every single shot numerous times. Okay. Every, every par five, a birdie's in the back. You would assume every par three, you could eventually get a birdie too. Yeah. You could do it. As many mulligans as you want? It's the time issue. Okay. How little... Eight hours is a lot of time. Okay. So what if you go down to 6 and a half hours that changes things sure

but 8 hours is so much time I think I'd get tired you would I'd be exhausted by 18 you just need one good shot each stroke dude you could do it something tells me the backers are going to have something to say about this

where was this this was on reddit and it became a big discussion on there. People who are short off the tee are going to have much more trouble, obviously. I can't hit the ball more than 240 yards off the tee at this point. If I go 240, I'm happy. I'm just going to hit a drive until I get one 310 in the fairway, which is doable for me. It might take seven shots.

$1 million guaranteed. What if you're eight under going into 18 and you've got 30 minutes left and you're just like, okay. The difference in 10 and 1 million is significant giving up a million just to bet on yourself and then fall short your boys would never let you like not only would they roast you for not being able to do nine under after in eight hours but then suddenly you're just faced with knowing that you gave up seven figs it would be nerve-wracking for sure but you could just reload putts every single time too like i would just have a bunch of i would just bring like a bag of balls to every single green and just start knocking

putts until they went in yeah i mean if you yeah if you're 60 feet out put one close you're not going to spend you want to spend 30 minutes trying to make a 60 footer yeah yeah but then your approach there's no way you're gonna your approach will be closer than that anyway you get as many where do you think you take the most mulligans drive approach or putt? I think, yeah, I actually, yeah,

that's, that's, that's, that's the one because you'd have, because the putt has, you have to one putt every hole, get one in the fairway off the tee. You move on like,

all right, I'm in the fairway. That's all I really need to do here. Save your stroke, save your time and energy. Go to your approach. You have to have a good approach though. You have to have a good approach because if. You have to have a good approach.

Because if you're leaving yourself with long putts or chips, you're just leaving stuff out there. You're not missing any putts. Yeah. No, but you probably are. If you gave me 100 putts on Augusta Greens, I'm probably missing most of them. You just need to make one.

I know, but you have to make one 18 times. Do we have a caddy? Yeah. Is it a caddy? Let's assume you have a caddy? Yeah. Let's assume you have a caddy. Let's assume you have an Augusta stock caddy. Does the caddy know the course? Yeah. I could do it. Okay. Please sound off in the comments on YouTube, please.

I could definitely do it. Comment below. Put the graphic up. I'm not a great golfer, but I could do it. Sure. Don't sure me. Don't sure me. Don't sure me live on air, Randy. It's disrespectful. I mean, tough day to have the shanks or something.

Just go really bad with your swing. Yeah. You'd be nervous the entire time. My first drive would be just an absolute hosel rocket into the crowd. Wait, is there a gallery? I'm going to assume there's no gallery. That would be too.

Then I'm out. The tee shot on 18 alone is so anxiety inducing when there's so many people there i just like the the shot that they have of it plus imagine them just like giving you shit when you're on your like your your eighth approach shot like dude you stink you stink get out of here just tin cupping every single hole not good i definitely go for it though can i tell a little story man when we started podcasting an online store was the first thing from our mind we weren't even thinking about it we were just worried about getting our getting our little business up and running making sure we could podcast uh-huh but now we're just selling stuff and it's so easy all because we use shopify cha-ching baby if you're not familiar with Shopify, get familiar.

Dude, what's Iran doing? So I run. I run so far away. It is pretty far away, Ron. It reminds me of GTA. Dude. Isn't that song featured in Grand Theft Auto? By City?

Maybe. One of them. I think so. Yeah, like the trailer or something. Yeah, it was. It was. Video killed the radio star was definitely. They had a really good 80s radio station you could put on in the car and just cruise around in.

It was legit a good 80s radio station. They definitely had video killed the radio star. The new one looks pretty lit, Randy. It looks like it's pretty much Vice City 2, but all focused on Florida Man. Also with much better graphics. Have you seen the people take the actual Florida stuff compared to the trailer? Yeah. It's pretty funny.

Yeah. Once I saw the alligator going through the the grocery store i was like okay we're getting deep into the florida stuff for this one let's see are we going to space right now are you guys you're going to do your first ever cocktail segment during space bar i've done a cocktail you did do one they let off with a cocktail oh okay yeah okay okay so this uh oh we're back on time.com, by the way. You ever heard of it? I have.

Iran says it launched animals into orbit in preparation for human space missions. This was the next like natural step, right? You got to test with animals. Yeah. I mean. Monkeys. I think monkeys were in space before humans were, right? They're not disclosing what kind of animals they're launching into space right now like it could be a sloth it could be

anything could be a polar bear we don't know what like what what kind of animals live in Iran they sent a capsule into orbit carrying animals as it prepares for human missions in coming years a report by the official IRNA news agency quoted telecommunications minister, I'm not going to try to say that name, saying the capsule was launched 80 miles into orbit. They barely touch space. Reach out and touch space. Right, right. Can I give you some animals that are native to Iran that could possibly be on this space mission?

Ooh, let me guess. Is it a goat one? Yeah, yeah. They call them an ibex. It's a wild goat with long, thick-ridged horns and a beard found in the mountains of the alps the pyrenees central asia and ethiopia dude this really just sounds like they are doing what we did we america just like decades later they're just so far behind us like they're just catching up like we we've done this before right yeah i think iran's a little behind when it comes to the space but right it's it's it's

newsworthy because not because of what they're doing but like when they're doing it i think well this says wildlife in iran includes leopards bears hyenas wild boars ibex gazelles and mouflons do you guys know what a mouflon is seriously never heard of this you guys know what a mouflon is? Seriously never heard of this. Do not know what a mouflon is. Any guesses? I would think it's some type of yak. It's a wild sheep with chestnut brown wool. They also have wild... It says wild asses live in the caviers.

Sounds like Randy's apartment. You see a bunch of booties in space? What if you were in space with your prius and you're floating through space floating into the abyss and dying like we've talked about and you just look over and you see this iranian like space missile going through the air and you just see like a fucking wild boar in there just looking over at you i don't know that was a good boy what's up play'd you do that so perfectly dude I that was definitely born not pig that was good if you talk to my wife she knows that I am a bore that's good

everyone calm down it wasn't that good it wasn't that good it's kind of cute That's good. Oh, dude. They're still laughing. They are. Everyone calm down. It wasn't that good. It wasn't that good. It's kind of cute that Iran's finally going to space. Why are you patting Iran on the head? Why are you Texas A&M-ing them, dude? Yeah. So disrespectful.

I told you about how I remember to say Iran and not Iran, right? No. Went to high school with this dude whose family is from Iran. Every time someone said i ran he said where'd you run to he just naturally got there and it stuck with me yeah it worked yeah i don't know when i made this pivot you can't be the dude saying i ran no can you get to the next one which i'm more excited about yes this one's much more pertinent to our lives so this this segment is called space bar right oh shit so it's like oh is it dylan is this about space or is this about a bar

thank you sorry you said space bar so i thought i'd just hit the music again dylan is this about space or is it about a bar what if i told you it was both, you idiot? There is a space bar that has opened in Austin, in East Austin. It is a bar with a space theme and it serves cocktails to you via spaceship. Can we play this TikTok?

For the homies on YouTube, we got this TikTok. Please play this for a player. I think we need volume, Randy. Do we? I think we need volume. This stuff delivers cocktails to your table in a spaceship y'all it's called space cowboy and here's everything you need to know before you go the inside of the bar is very vibey cocktails range from 1750 to 16 which i think is pretty expensive only one of our cocktails got delivered by spaceship skip the torch rice crisp burrata was not bad and we actually really like these space balls. But surprisingly, the steak was really good, and it got delivered

by a spaceship. Would you go to the space-themed bar? Uh, yeah. By the way, the first time I watched it, it didn't register to me how much vocal fry that woman has. Yeah. It's a space bar. Who says the cocktails range from $17.50 to $16?

I think the automatic caption thing got it wrong. It's $17.50 to $16. I think the automatic caption thing got it wrong. It's $17.50 to $60 is what? Yeah. For like punch bowls? Maybe. Space bowls. Or because they deliver it to you in a spaceship.

They upcharge you by like 1,000%. I don't know. So there are no waiters and waitresses at this place? They just have a little spaceship that goes around the place and delivers your drinks to you? It looks like there is a waiter or a waitress. I think if you sit at the bar, they serve it to you via spaceship. But a waitress or a waiter,

I shouldn't say waitress, that sounds sexist, will bring it to you if you're at a table. I'm going. Randy, can we go? Are you guys double dating there? We're not going to get the steak that she said was surprisingly good. No, get space steak, dude. Is it from space?

I don't know. What if they served space food like they do do like the packets of powder that you have to mix into water and shit i don't think that's very good i don't think it is either they're good space balls they have uh astronaut ice cream i'm down did you like space balls it wasn't my it wasn't my speed i've never had astronaut ice cream we tried it in school it was like a yeah we tried it neapolitan specifically i remember i don't think i don't think it was very good we never i never get to try it in school i feel like they did bring it to i feel like people in our school did do that like in a science class or something if they don't serve tang i'm out you love tang dude what'd you do with tang tang is tang was like this space drink wasn't it that's right

tang man space shot we're not doing tang tank's gotta be horrible for you you you drank tang yesterday during lunch it was kind of gas basically what that was can we can we circle back real quick oh the name of the rocket that they shipped into space with all the animals on it was called salmon it was called salmon salmon do you think they put a bunch of salmon in space i don't think it's pronounced like that it's s-a-l-m-a-n salmon okay again it's salmon rush d this place is called space cowboy by the way are you guys gonna go to space cowboy yes rainy it looks kind of cool it doesn't it looks way nicer than like most of the restaurants on

the east side no offense to the east side we're gonna get exactly one exactly one cocktail, and it's going to show up in a spaceship. Why one? Because we're going to go for content. I don't want to hang out with Randy for more than I have to. Yeah, that's true. I don't think Randy wants to hang out with you. See you later, space cowboy. I'll be your space.

Anime fans will know that one. I'll do it in Casey Musgraves. Casey Musgraves, Space Cowboys. It's a pretty good little song. Dude, that whole album is no skips. I fucking love her. You know I got that on vinyl. She's so talented.

I don't have a lot of country music stars on vinyl, but Casey got the nod for Golden Hour. What an album that is. She's a great voice. Just relax a little bit. You're still fixated on her tree, dude. She has great everything. Yeah, how was her tree?

Hey, did you ever rate Emrata's tree? I didn't see it on Twitter. I know, I tagged you on Instagram. I know, I saw that, and I wanted it to be on Twitter so I could give her a 9.9. I don't think she's tweeting much these days. She does have a Twitter. Should I just screenshot it from Instagram

and just tag her on Twitter? Yeah, her last tweet was from November 24th, so she's got to get those auto posts from... All right, I'm going to screenshot it. Maybe I'll get her attention. I need the followers, though, to help me out, get her attention. You know what I'm saying? Well, you already DMed her the Mario holding the crown.

And she didn't see it. I thought that was Casey Musgraves. Dylan's done it to numerous people. You did it to Amar was Casey Musgraves. Dylan's done it to numerous people. You did it to Amarato too? Yeah, he's done it to numerous people. Yeah. He's just in love with them. Is it time?

We were like, everything, dude. I use them. I like to take one before going out so Dylan can call me out for being a little loopy.

So that'll be fun. Are there any movies out? Are there any heat out in the theaters? I don't know, man. It's hard to find a kid-friendly movie in the theaters. Right now we got Wish, Trolls Band Together, Hunger Games, Godzilla Minus One.

You should take them to Napoleon. I've heard good things about Godzilla Minus One. That new one dropped? Yeah. I don't think it's like of the Godzillas that's been out right now. It's like an old thing, but it's like apparently a horror movie. Oh, so not Parks friendly? I think it's just like big destruction.

Someone described it as if Jason Borges. I can't remember. Jason Borges? Yeah, if he was Godzilla. It's pretty much just brutal, the way just destroys tokyo he's not the hero but i've heard really good things parks loves god he thinks godzilla he loves godzilla he's like a good character to park so i don't want to ruin that yeah you might not want to do that okay you think you'd like napoleon by ridley scott two hours and 40 minutes i don't think so okay okay

yeah and my my weekend i i have nothing. Nothing going on. Might try to see some family, actually. Shout out to your family. Yeah. I mean, yeah, I have nothing, man. Pretty wide open. What about you? I'm leaving town.

Your weekend's better than mine. For the first time since the birth of our second child, we're leaving town. I actually didn't anticipate leaving town this early without the kids. But, you know, when you have a wife that didn't get a push present or really anything for carrying a kid for nine months, you go take a vacation. So we're going to the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. Think they burn up there? Oh, for sure. You don't burn, though.

You don't burn. Burn every day. Dude, I'm going to have such a fucking vibe sesh up there. I signed up for a pottery class. OK. I signed up for a pottery class. Okay. I signed up for a pottery class. And so if I come into the stew with a mug, it's not for you, dude.

Are you going to sit behind Sally and reach around her and sculpt the pot together? I've never seen the movie that you're referring to, but I know you're going to the perf chair right now. You've never seen Ghost? I've never seen Ghost. Randy, have you seen Ghost? I've never seen Ghost,

but I'm very familiar with the scene. It's a very popular scene. Kids see Ghost sometimes. me more patrick swayze chill out dude dave was right you are mega horny whoopi goldberg too she famously dated ted dancing for a little bit do you know that whoopi goldberg did yeah did not they were freaking for a little bit crazy Crazy. Good for them. Yeah, I was looking up hottest couples in the 90s the other day, and I saw that. Anyway, and so, yeah, I think I might get a pottery class off. I've inquired about doing a little morning of fly fishing as I'm still on my fly fishing

journey despite never fly fishing. But, yeah, I'm leaving tomorrow morning. I'm taking the earliest flight I've ever taken out of Austin, Texas at 5.11 a.m. 5.11 a.m. You'll be up at three something. Yeah. What time do you have to get up? Like three o'clock on the dot?

You get two kids to. I guess I'm kind of operating on no sleeps anyway. Like it doesn't really matter. Do we need to send that boy a meal train? Yeah. Yeah. We'll hook him up with something. Randy, can you drop some stew off at Dave's place for the squad?

For his eyelid surgery recovery? Yeah. Yeah. I think I can do that. Yes. Thank you, Randy. What's Randy getting into this weekend? Are you allowed to say?

Or are you like... No, no, no. Yeah. No, Friday is... I'm either going to get drinks and food with James and his girlfriend and friends and all that stuff, or I'm going to Queens of the Stone Age with Dan and his sister and all that. Apparently, we'll have box seats. Dan would be a Queens of the Stone Age guy, and I don't mean that in a bad way.

What is that? They're a band. A rock band. I never really heard of them, but apparently, they're popular. Yeah, they're popular. They're good, but they're not my speed. So that's my Friday. I'm doing one of those two.

Saturday, actually, I was just texting Dan after you guys were talking about all this golf stuff. I was like, look at the weather. I'm like, ooh, good golf. I know. But the earliest tee time is 3.30. So you want to golf, Dylan? Probably not.

3.30, you get like an hour. But it has nothing to do with golfing with you i just it's golf in general you're waiting for the rollback yeah yeah i'm too long right now so so my golf saturday we'll see and then rest of the time we'll just be kind of chilling hanging out i feel like it's kind of the calm before the holiday storm like this weekend's kind of the last time to to actually relax and relax and get the head right because next Thursday we have our WASH Media holiday party. And we've made the absolute mistake of scheduling a coffee Friday for the day after the WASH Media holiday party.

I've pitched an idea to Randy. Which is, I am for this idea. I just know that I'm going to have to prep it beforehand because there's no way I'm going to want to be hung over trying to figure out how to do what you're asking. We'll set it up the night before and we'll have a countdown to when we actually record at 10.30 the next day.

But I want to live stream our hungover post-holiday party recap Coffee Friday pod. Okay. We never live stream on YouTube. I feel like we got to start live streaming on YouTube more often. Is this going to be a simulcast? I don't really know what that one is. Yes, it will be a simulcast.

I don't know. What's a simulcast? It's hard to say. I should know, but I don't. Two things are being casted simultaneously. Are we doing two things? Two forms of media.

Podcast. Podcast. YouTube. I don't think we're qualifying for a simulcast. We work in media, I promise. We should talk to the Dude Perfect guys about how to simulcast properly. Can you mansplain simulcasting to us? I would love that.

A simulcast transmission of the same program on radio and television or on two more channels. So I guess if we were streaming on Twitch and YouTube, that would be a simulcast, but we're not. We'll just be doing YouTube. We're single casting? We'll be single casting. Oh, that's lame shit.

I just got a text message from a random number. It said, Hey, Annie, how about we go shopping together tomorrow? Are you going to respond? Sure. That's perfect. Yep. Just hit her with the sure.

Or him. I don't know. Randy, that's your line, dude. Yep. Oh, that's great. They just got it. Period or no period? No period.

Ultimate. Sure with a period is too biting. Sure without a period is no period? No period. Ultimate. Like, sure, the period's too biting. Sure, without a period is just so, so nothing. Sure. What if there's some guy that's like hitting up a girl? He's like, all right, she's in. He has to pay it back. Or he's going to be in for a rude awakening.

That's funny. Should I ask this person to Venmo me first? Yeah. Pay Pig me. All right, let's get out of here. It's been fun. We'll see you guys later bye you
