I'm at all Ranchos, I'm at all Ranchos, I'm at all Ranchos, I'm at all Ranchos Well, well, well It's podcast time in Austin, Texas. My name is Dave and you are now listening to the Circling Back Podcast, a very special edition as it's just two men, no producer. Two great men. Two great men. Two of the greatest men that you know to ever step behind a mic and sit down and pontificate,

one of whom is Dylan Shivery. Interesting that Randy decided to leave his producing role right in the middle of YouTube week so there is no video today unfortunately. YouTube week still rolls on make no mistake about it. Yeah I'm pretty excited about something I have a so Park says his last baseball practice today They have two games left of the regular season before playoffs last practice today in the last half of practice We're doing a parents versus kids with football game and buddy. I'm pumped. I'm gonna fucking tee off on this day Can you do me a favor and understand warm up? understand and you warm up a little bit just stretch I Would say a warm-up would be more You don't mean important hurt myself. No, because if you come in here tomorrow

I could totally see a scenario where tomorrow you're like do my back my lower back. I'll get a good stretch in I'll warm up I'll do I'll do a lap around the field, get loose a little bit, get the arm ready. But I am holding nothing back. Who's throwing? I don't know. I just got an email from the coach saying we're going to do this and parents are encouraged to show up and participate and you know your boy's going to be. Is mom going to hit? I don't think so. I don't think so. I remember. I remember having to watch my parents. They didn't do I probably told that story in Little League. We didn't do with football. They just did like a game. Really coach versus parent or kids versus parents and like but then you can't really hit you know well because their kids tell that to coach Velasco because he went up there, not kidding, all the dads went up there and like my dad included just went up there and like, they were just trying to make contact, slap it out there

like they're, you know, BP or something, right? Right. Coach Velasco went up there and absolutely swung out of his shoes and just smoked one. You can't do that. It was so dumb. You can't do that. I remember my dad being like

that was not smart. It's fun and games until you hit a screaming line drive at a child's face. Yeah. And then it's like, ah, what are you doing, man? I mean, this was like, this is like fifth, this is like sixth graders. It was, it was unbelievable. But shout out to the Keys Park YMCA ball. Made me the man I am today. Well, that's fun. I'd like to, I might hit up Dow on the side, Dow is on the side and say, can you get some video of Dylan? I need shooters out there.

Okay. I want her to, I want some video. You know what? That needs to happen. Yeah. I don't know if she's gonna be there for that. Well, she might, she might. She might.

Yeah. I will do what I can to get video, and I will, of course, be posting said video. Maybe we could make Randy, since he missed a video today, for a good reason. He's at a wedding. He is at a wedding. But we could have him go up there and do some tent.

Can you imagine? He gets in full video producer producer mode or he's just like you look up and he's six feet from you. Yeah. He's just way too intrusive getting you. I got a lot. I got a lav mic on. Yeah. That'd be a little much like, wait, who is the Instagram influencer father? Is he one of the great men? I'm so excited that's gonna be great. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah a lot of fun Let's see yesterday we did cold calls And I thought we had some really good cold calls another banger We had some we had some people who wanted to not answer that's okay

We powered through it and we made up for it with some really good ones including a guy who Probably my favorite caller just because we got the visuals as it's a visual show but the guy who had previously submitted a couple videos the blog used to work for and work on TFM total frat move and this guy had not one but two videos one of which him falling off a porch extremely hammered then one of him cavemaning a beer and slicing up and open his forehead,

way worse than imaginable. About a two inch long slice on his forehead in the shape of an L. It was really good. Legitimately the shape of an L on his forehead, sadly. Yes. He sent an after picture and we looked at it and it was so much worse than anything we imagined.

He downplayed it and he didn't go to the hospital, but you have to go listen to the cold call It was great. We do those once a month beyond the paywall If you've never tried our patreon, you could try it free for a week. I highly recommend it go do it We've got multiple tiers.

We're about due for a touching base, which is a conspiracy tinged podcast, but it's a it's quality content. And like I said, there's a Thursday only tier. There's a Tuesday only tier, correct.

Even if you don't not gonna watch everything just hit us with that sub Looking at our subs up Do you see the boys added a? Pickens. Controversial wide receiver overnight. I guess early this morning. Yes. George Pickens. We needed something. We knew I thought there was

going to be a splash in the draft. I thought there was going to be I'm scratching that itch for me. It's a it's a very good number two receiver. A very good number two. Uh is he a Mondo? Does he have a history of being a little problematic in the locker room? Maybe just a little bit. Is he going to get in a fight with a cornerback? Absolutely. I don't

want a receiver on my team who's who's content not getting the ball though. I want him if he's not. That that's my kind of guy. Look, we were on the other side of it last season. We being Cowboy fans because he did get

into a little altercation with former Cowboy Jordan Lewis. He's now a Jag but give me that edge. We needed a little edge out there, huh? Yeah. On the on that side of the ball too. I don't need nice guys out there. No, I need a guy who's going to after a play, grab your face mask and sling you to the turf.

That's such a sorry move. It is. That's so sorry. But when he's on your team, it's like I there was nothing more defeating than like in practice when you got into a scuffle, which I I don't think I got into a ton of scuffles. I was pretty much a wallflower. Dave was a tackling dummy. Dave was starting nose tackle on the state champion Duncanville Panthers, if y'all didn't know that. Dave was starting free safety for the B team

in eighth grade. Okay, I got bad intel. A couple tip passes though, one led to a pick six. But if somebody grabbed your face mask, there is really nothing you can do. You could grab theirs back and then just, it's a battle of wills, right? Like who's next gonna break first?

Yeah, that's not a fun one. No, it's not, man. But yeah, Randy, oh, back to that. Randy, people are probably wondering, like, yeah, he's got a wedding on a Wednesday. Yeah, he has a Wednesday morning, right? Wednesday morning wedding. If you check his Instagram story, you see he's already in suit. And I think the wedding is probably going on as we speak. Congrats to his old roommate, old firefighter, a friend of the show, Jason.

I went to a sunrise wedding one time. Was it a destination wedding type of thing? No, it was in Austin. It was on Lady Bird Lake, the hiking bike trail, where I frequent. And yeah, so I had to get up, obviously, before the sun was up and get my suit on, get ready, and out there by the time I was out there, we were out there in the dark waiting for the sun to come up

and then they did their nuptials and the whole thing. Who typically, is that just like a, it would be beautiful to do it sunrise thing or is there like a religious component? No religious component. They just wanted to, yeah, they want it to be a pretty sunrise situation.

It was cool, but then it's like everyone just goes home, takes a nap and then prepares for, I think they had like the reception later on that evening. So it was a cool situation, I guess. I mean, I don't like getting up that early. Did you get all piss ass on booze? Man, it was such a long time ago. You know Michelle, Texas State Michelle, it was her wedding.

Oh really? Yeah. Okay, cool. Long time ago. Yeah, that's interesting, because people typically aren't grooving when the sun comes up. It's more of a when the sun goes down thing.

That's right, that's right. No one was flasking it at this particular ceremony Like you'll see imagine you snuck a flat. That's that's degenerate stuff. You don't need to be doing that That's some shit my friends would do like I've got at least two friends who'd be like they'd think it was funny They'd know it was over-the-top and they wanted to be flask guy at the Sunrise wedding over the top and they wanted to be flash guy at the sunrise wedding. It's a bit much. It's a lot. It is. But if you got a nap coming up, why not?

Okay, let's get into it. But before we do, Dylan, are you as excited as I am to talk about our good friends at Shopify? I love our good friends at Shopify. I use Shopify on the daily.

I'm also capable of doing it very quickly. Dylan can too. I mean, I'd like to see him do it. I'm sure he's done it many times, but I've seen Brett do it. I micromanage Brett.

You got cottonmouth like I got going. I got dry lip. Did you take some Adderall this morning?

You got cotton mouth, what's going on? Yeah, like a water moccasin. Oh really? Someone pointed out that I believe a cotton mouth is a water moccasin. Did you know that? Those are the same thing? I didn't verify that.

What? Did not know. Man, I gotta tell you, I moved it. It is Dylan. I moved the mic stand over because it was directly in the view of of my host over here, Dave. I don't know why we didn't do this like, I don't know, three years ago. Yeah, it's really dumb, especially since the show is now down to

you and I and producer Randy. So I'm looking predominantly at you. Yeah, we need to move. I need to move mine too. I'm gonna wait. I'm gonna wait until the face you. Yeah, we need to move. I need to move mine too. I'm going to wait. I'm going to wait until the face now. Finally, finally. Where do you want to go? You went to the mall. You went to the.

I did. Did you stop by Twisted Cork? You just see a movie or both. Funny enough, where you enter the Barton Creek Mall, there is a sign for the Twisted Cork. And it's one of the first things you see when you walk in. You have the movie theater on the left, the AMC. And then there's a sign.

And had I gotten there a little bit earlier, I might have pre-gamed the movie I saw at the Twisted Cork, but I did not do that. It's probably a miss. Dude, come on. Well, here's something weird. You're already there. So yeah, I went to the mall to go to the movies

because the movie I wanted to see, the movie I did see, Warfare, it was showing at Alamo, the South Lamar, the one down here, but every showing was after 10 p.m. And I'm just not in the market for a ticket to a movie that's gonna end well past midnight on a school night. Not on a school night. Not on a school night, I can't do that.

Not a kid anymore. I don't even think I would do that on the weekend. Plus I'm going by myself. I was just imagining like having a beer at the twisted cork Which of course is the mall kiosk a bar We've been talking about by yourself and then you see like someone you know walks by it's like oh shit They've just got a Lulu bag like Dave's going through it man. He's at the he's at the mall bar by himself

They got a Lulu bag there. They're waiting on their Their iPhone to get fixed. Yeah, and they're just taking a lap And they see Dave there just posted up with a pint in front of them Just mixing it up. You have you'd have to explain yourself looking down at my phone. Yeah What if they have TVs? We just need they do oh they do have absolutely at the cork. Yeah, okay. Well, that's huge So yeah, I went to the mall to go see warfare Um, which is which is a movie about the final days of the battle of ramadi uh in iraq, um

Like the iraq like such as yep. You familiar with the iraq. Yes Um, who's in it? Well, you you would know at least two people. Are you familiar with will polter? Yes, will polter, you know him. Yeah Will polter, do you know cosmo jar Poulter. You know him. Yeah. Will Poulter. Do you know Cosmo Jarvis? You may not know it, but you do. I don't know Cosmo Jarvis. The white guy from Shogun.

Oh, okay. The only white guy. Oh, I guess he's not the only white guy, but he is the white guy. He's the Shogun guy. Yeah. Um, anyway, um, the reason I went and saw this, A, I'd heard really good things. I read a couple of really good reviews. B, I read that this is kind of one you want to see in theaters

just because of the realism, the sound. It's like you can watch it at home. And maybe if you have like a cool sound bar or like a cool sound system, you can get that effect. But I like to go to the cinema. I like to experience the theater from time to time. It had been a minute. The last movie I saw by myself in a theater was the Mario movie a couple years ago. A little different. Well that's what I saw about myself was it. Really? Yeah we talked about it on here. Actually it's the only time I've

ever been to the movie theaters by myself. was that one you just saw the original and like You really were like, you know what? I really like the original and no, I don't really I didn't I don't remember have We just bored. I just wanted to go to movie by myself and I was like it sounds Intriguing and I this is when I lived really close to Alamo draft house. So I walked over there Yeah, and I had a good time had a glass of wine maybe a personal pizza which they it's really good there by the way their pizzas are good yeah I'll give AMC some props they have it is a um it is not a shitty movie theater I really really went in with low expectations just because it's at the mall, which is probably not fair They have the reclining seats. They do not have the food-on-demand situation. It is a traditional

movie theater snack deal I Paid six dollars for smart water. You didn't get any popcorn. No It's a mess. It's It's just I don't know. I didn't I didn't feel right, but here's the weird thing I didn't know they had a full bar until you walk Around they have the full bar, but it's not out there in the open So I bought the $6 smart water turn the corner, then I noticed the full bar right there a full like liquor They have a bar. Yeah. Oh wow, and I was like, oh

I was like I could I could get a little cocktail for the movie thought about it And then I totally went dad cheap mode and it was like, you know, I just spent six dollars on a smart water I had no idea. I'm not fucking doing that. Oh Man, I don't even think I drank that whole smart. Are the prices at the bar? I wonder are they like movie theater whole smart are the prices at the bar I wonder are they like movie theater they have to be marked up probably like like $18 vodka soda yeah like 22 bucks for a lot of you know vodka tonic or something yeah um so about the movie have you seen anything on this movie i feel like it has i think you kind of have to be deep in the uh i know nothing about it people people are talking about centers right now which i kind of want to go see.

I do want to see centers as well. I didn't know anything about this one. I don't know what centers is about. I don't either. I will say from the previews, it looks like most of the movies that are coming out over the next six months are absolute dog shit. A lot of, uh, a lot of really, really, um, generic horror films, a lot of like Scary kid movies like kids, you know possessed kid style movies like very that genre Yeah seems to be that was like half of the previews There's a John wick adjacent movie, which looked like it could be okay, you know, I celebrate the entire John wick catalogs

I'll probably watch that but as far as the movie goes Celebrate the entire John wick catalogs. I'll probably watch that but as far as the movie goes I didn't know what to expect. I knew a little bit about it. It's from the guy who One of the guys who I guess wrote it did the screenplay was Raymond Dozer was a former Navy SEAL film-war stunt expert and Basically from memory He said this is what happened. And the entire, almost the entire thing, 90% of the movie takes place in this house. So it's one setting basically.

And I will say it is a fairly slow build, it is pretty tense. You know something's gonna happen because you know there's some people who get fucked up in this movie. But it is not your lone survivor, your American sniper, where you just see bad-ass special ops dudes dusting, like insurgents.

It's not that at all. In fact, you rarely see it. Like it is more of a, it is a realistic, gritty portrayal. I say realistic as a guy who wasn't at the battle of Ramadi, but like you're watching it and a lot of it is like the downtime between Um when they take this house, they just go take this house and they're posted up and they're supporting like a marine mission or something and uh It's like a lot of downtime like the interaction of like what you do to kill time when you're waiting for something to happen

And it's extremely tense And then when shit goes off, it's like really brutal You see you see some like horrific things like from war And I will say it doesn't glamorize anything at all. In fact, it's probably the opposite I saw some some blowback on it being like this, felt like propaganda, but you kind of leave there like not feeling that way at all. You kind of leave there feeling like that is a portrayal of what happened.

There really is no coloring it one way or the other. Like they take this house and this house has an Iraqi family in it. And you're like, well, that's fucked. And yeah, I mean, like they don't really give you one opinion on that one way or the other. It's very, we're far enough away from it where everybody has their opinion on that. And like, I think most people realize there were a lot of things that were, a lot of people were misled into supporting that, right?

And then when you see a movie like this that comes from like the battle of ramadi which is one that people know you're like what's this going to be is this going to be glamorizing it and it doesn't do that at all and the cast is killer and i i mentioned two of them there's a lot of names do you know charles melton i do not look up charles melton he apparently per my wife is a hot young name Hot guy he looks like the jaw on this guy the jaw on this little aggressive this dude comes in hot Yeah, I don't I don't know I don't know about his game Um, I didn't either he's good in this But I will say I highly recommend it the director did the guy who actually did the

The screen I guess he did that who actually did the screen, I guess he did, he's the screenwriter, did 28 Days Later. I kinda wanna go check out his entire catalog now. But I'm glad I went. I will say, the anecdote I wanted to provide was, you walk into this theater and there's four seats on one side, there's a separating thing in the middle,

and then four on the other. It's a small theater, felt like 60 seats tops, right? You walk in and I got there about six minutes before it was supposed to start, before the preview start rolling, right? My seat was in C2, the one next to the aisle, and I look and there's the four seats over there, three of them are taken. It's two dudes, two bros that are just hammering all of the popcorn, all of the milk duds

and like full 32 ounce cokes. And then there's a empty seat and then the aisle seat is just a guy by himself. So I have to go sit between these guys, right? The rest of the theater is open. So I'm sitting here thinking like, okay, like surely there's about to be some no shows. Cause I'm looking around and it's very, it's a little bit awkward cause it's like the four of us and then the rest of the theater's open at this point. Late

arriving crowd, thank God. Cause I didn't want to be rude. I didn't want to be rude and go like move. But I was like, we're not all comfortable. We're all like, there's four dudes sitting right here in these reclining chairs. It's fairly close quarters. But luckily it filled out. But it was a little awkward at first. And we're all like reclining, got our feet up. So it's just these four dudes. It's just four dudes posted up together. So when you bought your ticket, that was obviously.

That was like the best one. Okay, yeah. Yeah, that was the best one. I didn't wanna sit like in the front front rows. Yeah. And this wasn't a 40X experiencex experience no apparently this movie fucking rips it an IMAX though I bet it does apparently you can go see I will say like you recommend it I do if that's your bag like if you know but like you could kind

of get the sense that I think I think people thought that it was gonna be a movie cuz they you know going in that you're just dropped into a war zone And I think you expect it to be like Just from the get-go Gun fights and it's not that at all Like I said, it is a slow build up to the action and even the action isn't like it is not like a badass action movie Where there's like a clear hero you really don't know the backgrounds of these guys at all It is just like hey, this is where there's like a clear hero. You really don't know the backgrounds of these guys at all. It is just like, hey, this is what happened.

This is our best recollection. This is what I remember happening. And here it is. And you're just watching it and then it just ends. They get into Bradley, they leave, boom, you're done. And you're kind of left thinking, you're like, what the fuck was that? Like you don't really get any context, which I think is cool. You could kind of go out.

They've done interviews and podcasts and stuff. And you can if you're interested to hear more about it, you can get more context of it, which I think helps. But did you do some reading up on that? I read a little bit just because I was like, I want to see the movie movies that leave you wanting to know more and you go you hit the Google. Yeah, what happened? They do the deal at the end where they show like behind the scenes footage and you see like the guy, the Cosmo

Jarvis plays interacting with him. So you got like these actual guys. Yeah, these actual seat Navy SEALs that are like they're helping out and like kind of giving them giving them tutorial and like what it would look like or what it did look like based on their best direct collectionection So I two things I recommend warfare I also recommend going to the movies alone on a weeknight if you got no If like you're like I love to say like your basketball team that was in the finals last year Let's say they traded a generational player away for some reason based on like a personal beef and like that team

So your team lost in the play in round and then the team that the generational player went to they lost in the first round because that team isn't that great. Um let's say you don't have any NBA to watch. Uh just go to the movies by yourself if you find yourself in that position. I'm not opposed to it at all even though I've only done it once. I think I might go do centers and actually listen wants to go see centers. We might go do that maybe Chelsea and I might go see centers this weekend. Do you know what that's about? No, I don't either You want to link up and go see centers together? I mean, maybe yeah, you know, I got those regal ticks Dave Well, tell me about the regal ticks. Remember we remember the that guy reached out from regal and offered us tickets corporate tickets

Vaguely you were on the email vaguely we can get we can go for for free 99 if you want to go basically Okay Centers Oh Michael B. Jordan. I've heard nothing but good things same same. Oh Haley Steinfeld Michael B. Jordan, okay Haley Steinfeld. Yeah. Shouldn't be Hailey Allen. Does she take his name? She didn't have to, in my opinion. Yeah, she's-

Ally point for me. Yeah, she's probably not going to. You know how these famous people are. They don't take names. Hey, before we get into our next, our big topic for the day, can I, I gotta get to this now, because Mother's Day is coming up.

Like it's coming up, it's Sunday. We got to talk about aura frames. We do. If you're ready to win Mother's Day and cement your reputation as the best gift giver in the family, give moms in your life, the moms in your life, an aura digital picture frame with preloaded decades old, just pictures of the family,

all sorts of stuff. Just back load that thing, give it to her, and then update it, she'll love it. Here's the beauty about gifting an aura frame. Like you just mentioned, you can preload pictures. So you peel off like the little corner of the box that it comes in, and there's a QR code. You scan that, and you can preload pictures onto that frame.

And so when you give it to your mother, for Mother's Day, she opens it, scan that and you can preload pictures onto that frame. And so when you give it to your mother for Mother's Day, she opens it, she connects it to her wifi and bam, she's already greeted with as many pictures as you wanna load and it's really, really sick. You know how moms are probably not the most tech savvy, depending on how old your mom is. They don't wanna have to get in there and download an app so you can do it for them. You can update it whenever you want.

Pretty great. You know, AuraFrames was named the best digital photo frame by Wirecutter. It's easy to see why. Unlimited storage so you can add as many photos, videos, and funny memes as you can find. I'm going to start sending my mom more memes. You should. She needs... Mom, you know, she'll listen to the show and be like,

Our boys back at it. I'm gonna play an old video first, okay? Okay. People who are new here, we covered this about, I don't know, six months ago, maybe longer.

Last summer it feels like the eight great men dinner. You don't know what that is. That is a dinner that was put together by a guy who lives here in Austin. He is a digital content creator slash maybe wellness mindset coach type guy. And I'll just, you know what? Let's let him describe the eight great men dinner. This is an old school one. It's night here in Austin, Texas. I'm going to be a little bit of a little bit of a The prompt for the night was, who has been one of your most important mentors and what did you learn from them?

Some of the ground rules for that evening included respectful listening, no interruptions, no unsolicited advice, full confidentiality and being present. We all took turns sharing our answers with the group followed by time for follow up or reflective questions. Overall, I was really proud of how these guys showed up, actively listened, supported and engaged with one another. Have you ever been to a men's dinner like this? I hosted a dinner for seven men last night

here in Austin, Texas. Okay. Yeah. So, start by saying, we were pretty hard on this guy. Was it justified? I want to say I appreciate what he's trying to do for male friendship after 35. I assume I don't know what side of 35 this guy's on, but I know I'm on the wrong side of it.

Lord knows you are. Yeah. We're pretty close to the same age though. Sure. And look, you just had yourself a little issue with male friendship do the weekend You got poured out. I did I did I I confronted the guys about I don't know if you weren't here for that How'd that go? Fine

Fine, they explained the circumstances around why I did okay I didn't okay now I actually kind of felt bad about that because I didn't realize it was like a big, not a big deal. It wasn't a big deal. I didn't realize it was gonna upset you and I was like, kind of hanging it on. When we were on the podcast, I was having fun with it, but then we stopped recording and I was like, wait, why didn't they throw me a text?

I was just really confused about it. Brett and Will explained to me why everything came to be. Okay, who was the guy that Will was with? The Schooner scorer, which he's an influencer, I guess. Out of Norman, Oklahoma. He drinks beers, no, not that kind of schooner, like a beer schooner. Okay.

And he, I guess he drinks beers and then scores them. like a beer schooner. No, not not that kind of schooner like a beer schooner. Okay. And he I guess he drinks beers and then scores them and will posted him on Sunday Scaries one time and that and that's how they became internet friends. Okay, got it. So, he

came into town to do a little like some content with Will. Oh man. So, that guy's just doing that. That guy just goes around drinking. He just travels around. He's like, yeah, I'll just I'll just just fly to Austin. Good hotel. And that's what he did. Oh, hell yeah. Yeah. Well, we got to link him up with our boy here. Okay. So I'll get sent videos from this dude. And we posted it. We posted what we're about to play on the circling back Instagram, which you should definitely go follow.

But he's getting married. So congratulations to him. but he had a bachelor party and if you'll give me a sec and I will try not to cut off the first part of this video play the little video here yeah we're gonna just run this thing back hold on let me this and it probably looked very different than what all right we're gonna do a little yeah we can I hosted my bouncer party in Austin, Texas and it probably looked very different than what most people expect. No bar hopping on 6th Street, no chaos of being out late, no hangovers bleeding into the morning.

That's what it would have looked like just three years ago for me. But this time, my intention was different. I wanted to create a men's retreat experience, one where we'd leave feeling better than when we arrived. Yes, I took on the responsibility of planning it, which I know goes against all usual wedding traditions, but I was totally good with that. Instead, we got out in nature. We played pickleball.

And yeah, I got my booty whooped. We ate incredible food. KGB barbecue was fire. We laughed hard. Comedy Mothership never misses. We rested. And most importantly, we dropped in. One of my favorite moments, a surprise men's circle led by a close friend.

A space to slow down, reflect and speak truth. We talked about life, love, fears and current challenges. We gave each other this space to be seen and understood. This was a very intentional bachelor weekend and it aligned perfectly with my current lifestyle and priorities. And honestly, I'm really proud of that. 67 days till the wedding and I'm so so excited. This... Dude my bachelor party didn't look like that. I didn't get aligned on mine. Okay. I wasn't good for like seven days after my bachelor party. The video the video starts by showing like the guys arriving at the house. Yes one of the guys looks like Brett.

Okay, but the point is, it's like from the moment you arrive to this dude's bachelor, I'm not gonna call it a bachelor party, retreat. It's a men's retreat. Like the whole thing, he's filming the whole thing. Dude, it's a content play. Including you showing up at the front door with like your suitcase, like, all right, let's, you know, and it's, the camera is just going at all times. Okay.

Which takes so much away from the experience to me. Do you remember? It just makes it so hokey. Have you seen Ghostbusters? Of course. Okay, do you remember when Rick Moranis hosts a party? And it's, he invites clients and not friends so he can make it a tax write-off.

And he like tells people that at the party. It's been a long time since I've seen it. This kind of made me think of that. Okay. Okay. I know that's a very obscure deep pool. Guilty is charged with the deep pools. I will say, as far as sober bachelor parties, I don't know if this guy, if our friend here, Bobby,

I don't know if he just doesn't drink at all or what, but they maximize the weekend. Looking at the video, they did KG BBQ, which is the Egyptian barbecue that I've been wanting to try. But man, why does everything have to be a content play? Yeah, that- I need to know who the other guys are.

Are they content players too? My biggest gripe is that this whole thing is just like performative, you know? It's like, do you really wanna connect with your friends on this kind of level and talk about life experiences and stuff? Or do you wanna do a social media post and get a bunch of followers?

Like it's very hokey and performative to me. Also, it looks really lame. Dude, they're sitting in a circle. They're looks really lame. Dude, they're sitting in a circle. They're sitting in a circle, like sitting down facing each other and just, I guess, having a conversation about life. Like, I don't want to do that on a bachelor party. Like, if you're my boy,

if you're my boy and you invite me on your bachelor retreat, like, I will go. I'm not going to be happy about it once I'm there. Most of my boys, like I don't really wanna know what they have to say about life. They're not drinking, they're playing pickleball and having these deep conversations. I don't wanna know what Tim's and Midlothian has to say

about the meaning of life. No, no, I wanna see how he's, you know, I wanna see him get into one. I wanna see Norris drink like 14 beers on the course and then like barely make it to dinner, then us having to put him get into one. I want to see Norris drink like 14 beers on the course and then like barely make it to dinner then us having to put them in a Uber. And that's a bachelor party. Yeah.

That's a bachelor party. This is not. Or maybe it's not. Maybe, you know, honestly, like what this guy's doing, me at 40, I'm like, you know what? If I'm allowed to mix in a few cold beers here, Haas, like, yeah, this might be for me. I don't know if I need pickleball.

I'm not trying to put my ankles in jeopardy on a bachelor party. Someone said, I guess it's not easy to find out who this guy's engaged to. And someone said, meanwhile, his chick went to Miami. Oh, that's tough. Yeah, he stayed home in Austin where he lives and had a retreat with his boys.

Meanwhile, his fiance is having a Bachelorette party in Miami. I'm assuming the Bachelorette party in Miami was very different than what they did back at home. I can't imagine that they, they did, just didn't like yoga and had cut deep conversations while in Miami. Or I have no desire to go to Miami. I don't either. Were we just talking about Miami?

Yeah, I've never had a desire to go there. I don't really know why. But yeah, those are very different experiences. They just cooked, they cooked breakfast and sat in a circle and played pickleball. I will say the breakfast looks fire. To my guy, you did good. We were a little critical in the old video

of the grass-fed steaks that you cooked in a high quantity in your oven, but. I can't, you tell me I can't drink a beer on this bachelor party I can't throw one back He's a close-up of one of the like the alcohol-free beers In this clip there's got to be a dude who's just flasking at this thing the whole time This there's a guy who slurring his words at the men's circle. Are his boys talking ish behind his back about this?

No, they love it. Dude, this guy, look, if it makes him happy, phenomenal, but- I'm a hater, I know. Look, we're just trying to get on your radar. We want you to take us out and get us aligned. Have us do- look, we're going to link with this dude. We have a connection to this guy. We do have a connection with this dude.

I'm going to reach out to him after the show. Okay, I want to do content with I want to do I want to do I want to have him design a day for us We'll get we'll get the boys. We'll get Brett cuz Brett looks exactly like one of his buddies. We'll get everybody We'll get Randy. We'll get a camera crew out there Cuz this guy puts off big Cold-punch vibes, which I'm rocking with his fiance is a personal coach and speaker With less than a thousand followers on the Grom he's a burnout coach She she coaches dating relationships and self-worth

Okay helping founders build success without burnout that's Bobby Bobby Hobart We're founders. I Mean we're not kind of burned out. There's been times. Yeah, I mean we're washed it's in the name Okay Man Yeah, I just don't know Dave All right, let's do a video with this guy let's do let's do something Do we need to go back and edit did you say anything too mean I think he's got thick skin

We've said much worse on previous episodes if this dude if this dude's still putting out videos like this Did you read with the comments you did me just was after we did those episodes he did so he knew we were talking About him. Oh for sure. did. He reached out to us after we did those episodes. He did. So he knew we were talking about him. Oh, for sure. Okay. He saw the vid, we cut a clip. And he was, I think, really nice in his email too. I think, yeah, I think you call him a dork.

And he is a dork. Ha ha ha. But there, you know. Dude, he looks like, he looks like, looks like dudes we would hang out with potentially. I mean, look, I can't talk, like how many people sent me this and they said, dude, why is Brett on this guy's bachelor?

That dude does look exactly like Brett Oh shit alright Bobby alright we're gonna link we're gonna link and build you help me not be burned out anymore win me over Bobby show me show me why your lifestyle is one that it might be for me Fuck I Don't know man. I don't know, man. I think we need to design like a program for like guys after 35. I've got theories as to why

it's hard to make friends. What is it? What are they? I feel like your closest friends... I'm gonna keep this very simple. I feel like you make your closest friends when like you are Becoming an adult becoming a man and like Testosterone your brains not fully developed. You're basically a dumbass So you like and you fuck up like late 20s. No, no, no

Maybe no probably well for some people Like late 20s? No, no, no. Maybe, no, probably, well, for some people. But sure, you're 20, early 20s. I feel like when you're still figuring it out and you're making, you don't know what you want to do and you're making like egregious mistakes career wise personally, you know what I mean? So like you're with other people that are doing

the same thing and you kind of- Other dumbasses? Yeah, fellow dumb, but like after 35, not that we're not dumbasses, but like kinda in theory have it more together and you've, I don't know. There's less to bond over? There's less to bond over. You don't bond over and you don't really know somebody

when they're, look, every guy you meet, every guy I meet at one of my kids Friends birthday parties, even if they're at like a brewery almost every guy Everybody's guarded because you don't want to let on like yeah you don't want to let on like what you're really into and like who the the the dumb assery that like You still kind of crave but you can't really do I think I always assumed is because we just don't like to go out as much when we get older well that's probably a big part of it because if I'm at home on a Friday there's

a crazy event happened if it's 830 on a Friday and I'm at home I got a glass of wine in front of me I get a text like hey we're going to so-and-so like okay maybe that's why they didn't text you Saturday they just knew you didn't want to go no that wasn't it because I sent my text earlier on in the day letting them know that I was ready to step out You got seven you got the same text. Yeah But yeah, I think a big part of it is we just don't we like to stay home more now That's true. No, that's true. I'm definitely overthinking. I'm not saying there's nothing to what you're saying. I'm also workshopping a stand-up bit that I'll never use, but I do have a whole thing.

You need to try to stand up at some point. Like as part of a COVID challenge? No. You say this a lot about bits you work on, and you can't just keep them in the holster all the time. Why not? Dude don't even tell us about it just go do it just go do an open mic night somewhere and just see how it goes and then you can tell us about it afterward. You know what I mean? I would never tell anybody. Right that's what I'm saying I would I wouldn't want anyone there that I know. I also could never do that. I don't think.

Stand up. Yeah. Just feel like, full disclosure, I kind of feel like stand up now, that's not fair. There's a lot of really good stand up. Based on the stand up I've seen, or like the, it's more of the audience to stand up.

Like, it feels like a lot of the audience to stand up now just wants to hear you say words that you couldn't say two years ago. And it's like, you don't even really have to be funny. It's just like, oh yeah man. Some political takes, a little edginess. Yeah, that's all you gotta say. You just gotta check a box and drop an F-bomb on you. Or like the R. And you're just like, yep. Ooh, this guy's, he went there. and dropped like an F-bomb on you or like the R and you're just like, yep. I know that's like, yeah, I got that feeling at the mothership a little bit

when I went to that bottom of the barrel show. I mean, there's some good comics, but like a lot of the crowd that felt like that's what they were there to hear. And I was just like, huh, that's what's getting you out of bed? That's what's getting you to leave the house after 35. Yeah, I don't know I know that's that's Really anecdotal that's over oversimplified. That's pretty introductory

Level humor to me, I think Can I tell you a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles anecdote, yes, please So Can I tell you a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles anecdote? Yes, please. So, it's been, a lot's been made on this show of me kind of guiding my son into his TMNT fandom. Yeah. He had a really good weekend. He was really good at T-ballball then he had a party after. Rhodes, my oldest boy, he was really good and to reward him I let him I let him

play a little Shredders Revenge on the Xbox which I was gonna play and I made the mistake of saying yeah, dude You can play but once you run out of lives you're done problem is He's only played it one other time. He doesn't play a lot of video games like his cousin showed him a switch and He He's gotten good at this game to the point to where like he just doesn't run out of lives. And so. You roll backfired on you a little bit.

We spent pretty much, honestly, most of Saturday afternoon beating this fucking game. So he would get to the boss, he get to be bop or rock steady or fucking shredder for that or crank And he would just hand me the controller be like dad. Can you beat this guy? I sure can so dude and like Alyssa gets home and like Our baby was napping and she's like, you guys are still,

you're still doing this. I was like, here's the deal. We're really invested. I think we're at the last level. Like we're going to, we have to beat the game. We got to see it through. I made a promise. I told me he could do it.

I'm not going to back out on it. And also there's a lesson and I'm trying to spin it as like a life lesson. Like you got to finish what you started. We got to fucking take down shredder. We can't let him have his revenge. Uh, and he didn't for that matter. And yeah, look, I fucked up shredder pretty good. Of course you did. Was, was he really impressed? Oh yeah, dude, we went nuts. It was so fun. But dude, we spent so much time playing this game that afterwards, I was like, my eyes were hurting. We're playing it on like our TV. Yeah. And my eyes were like

watering and I was like, alright, I told him after I'm like, dude, you know that doesn't happen every weekend. That is like a reward. That's like, that's like a special occasion thing. We've had a tough week. Look, look, and he's like, yeah, dad, I know. Look, it's not going gonna stop him from saying it this weekend. He will absolutely ask you guys doing it together though I think is a really Yeah, you don't want your kid to play video games a lot of time I totally understand that but if you do it do it together and you're like helping each other out and you like win

it's like Parks he plays fortnight and He's gotten a lot of wins in fortnight but like he got the doll early, early on. Well, like if he was like, dad, I got, I got five, five guys left and I would just come in the room and I watch him play and then four guys left. And then he'd get down to the last guy and it's like all intense and he's nervous, you know, he's ducking behind walls and he's, you know, and then he'll get a win and he like

freaks out and I'm there celebrating with them It's like he's hugging me and stuff. It's a cool. There are cool moments involved dude It probably this is gonna sound insane Like so I know how like that last circle of war zone can be or whatever like where you're fortnight Where it's like it's tense like heart rate up. It's It's high pressure. There's probably something to that stress in like performing that is like beneficial to a kid. Yeah, yeah. Like there really is.

Dude, Warzone gives me so much anxiety. Even if I'm not even playing with my buddies, I'm just playing online and no one I know is gonna ever know how this ended. Like, you're still like, dude, I don't wanna fuck this up. Do not ruin this. Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. And then when you get it, it's such a fun feeling.

It is. Warzone is just, Fortnite is not near as anxiety-inducing for me, because it's animated and it doesn't feel as real as Fortnite, I'm sorry, as Warzone does. Yeah. Oh my God. real as fortnight terms sorry as warzone does yeah oh my god yeah so we uh we're now fully a ninja turtle household he asked this morning for ninja turtle underwear which is a big step park says some you gotta get some yeah and buddy asking you shall receive oh yeah you gotta do it

um dude i can't there's so many villains in that series that I forgot about like Baxter the fly Crang what rank fucking sucks. What console is this on? Xbox okay, and it's free his little hands holding that big controller. Yeah, fuck. Yeah, dude He really doesn't know he's really just like he moving the joystick towards like the enemies and just like mashing buttons Which for this game is pretty much all you need to do. Yeah, but it's wild. It's like an arcade style game. It's wild how quickly kids pick up technology for sure. I want him to be tech savvy. Yeah. We and

let me look we balance. He'd been playing outside all day to that point multiple hours, but T, right into a party at the brewery. Um, that sounds like, uh, it kind of sounds like if you just looked at it on paper, like I'm gonna just, we're just alcoholics and just take our kid to the brewery every weekend, but it's like a great, meanwhile, it's got a great place for kids. Uh, so anyway, uh, Oh, last thing finished gemstones. It's done. We're done. I'm not sure. Uh oh. Last

So I haven't watched the last season, but I've watched the first three. Chelsea, we're halfway through, about halfway through the second season and she's hooked on it. She loves, I was, I prepared her for Judy Gemstone, who in my opinion, one of the funniest characters of all time. Yeah. And she, she just wants, she just wants every scene to have Judy in it. Like you could see a world where like gemstones is made and it's just basically like a vehicle for uh dana mcbride to do another kenny powers style character and it's good you'll laugh and but it's

that playbook again but like the fact that they added uh you got kelvin and judy who like are all are both like equally as funny in my opinion like Kelvin's Kelvin's **** ridiculous that entire storylines are they still doing the absurd? What is it? What is the bodybuilder thing? The God Squad. Oh yeah.

Are they still? No, the God Squad's not around in this. That wasn't my favorite. My favorite gemstone storyline. Okay, I think a lot of people didn't like that. But if you had been around something like that, which I knew I had friends who went to churches who like this is the kind of shit they did. And there was like some kind of like guy ripping a phone book style thing. Like it is pretty funny.

Like it's kind of one of those things where like if you experience that as a kid or around it like it's hilarious. But yeah, no, the God Squad's gone. No, Calvin is now, Calvin's now running for, he's now in the running for Top Christ Following Man. Okay. Which is a very prestigious award. All right. For the Top Christ Following Man and he is now like out of the closet and I'll leave it there. Oh, is he? Yeah, it's no, like Kelvin's gay. Because they've been alluding to it for a very long time. Yeah, yeah.

And you can probably guess how that whole thing ends. Okay, all right, I'm excited to finish it. Yeah, you should be. And like the finale was fine. Look, there's some stuff, Sean William Scott's characters in it you know Stiffler yeah he plays a a pretty big role in the finale and you're like really okay um but all in all it's it was very good Judy's phenomenal there's a monkey in this season. Okay. BJ has a monkey. And then you got Tejas. You heard me talking about Teen Jesus,

right? Yeah. Yeah. It's a it's a good baby Billy season as well. Okay. It it hits and I just gotta say it. I mean, I'm not kidding when I say it's like one of the best comedies just because of the the subject matter. No one's ever done that for a comedy and it's just so unique and like the fact that Danny McBride is not like the like focal point like that he has like Equal contributors to the to the funniness to the comedy, but he's still in the show

Oh hundred percent like he's still a main part, but it's just like he's not having to do the heavy lifting on the comedy. Okay. It's fantastic and I'm sad that it's I'm sad that it's done. It was a fun way. I watched it before bed every Sunday. I'm sad that we don't have that anymore but check it out. If you've not done a Gemstones watch, please go do it now. Bro, let's go out this weekend. There's a crazy event happening. I like to turn off. Bro, there's a crazy event happening. We had the party and it was lit. I got yelled at by a prostitute.

Dylan. Yes. We didn't even talk about your pull-out video. Oh, yeah, we didn't. You criticized me a little bit. I was being nipped. You think I didn't fully extend Well, you you are you supposed to just sit there and just like a dead hang. Yeah

Some people will say yeah, but you're fine to be fair. You were the only one who said something about it I was just fucking with you. You do have a closer grip than I would have imagined Although there is it there was a guy who has some kind of fitness account I guess he follows me and he said that was 10 Lol, so whatever like the last couple when you're tired. Yeah. Yeah, those those are hard to get but I you know Give me 50. He hit you that was 10 lol. That was 10 lol. Like alright, buddy And he had whatever he had like no followers trying to get like a fitness Trying to be an influencer. Whatever

Anyway, you're not mad. He's mad. Yeah, my weekend, I'm gonna start Thursday because Parks has a baseball game. He's got two games this weekend. The first one's on Thursday. I'm hoping he gets one more chance to pitch over the next. He's got two games over the span of three days. I want him to pitch again.

They need a dub in a bad way. They've been playing like shit. They can't field anything, man. Having trouble throwing strikes Parks taking too many strikes at the plate and talk to him about that. But um, we got to finish strong We got playoff starting next week. And if they keep playing like this, it's gonna be they're gonna be one and done for sure So that's Thursday Friday got the little man Don't know what we're gonna to do. Have no plans yet.

Might go to a dinner or something. I don't know. He might want to have a sleepover with a buddy. We'll see how that goes. Saturday, supposed to be a great weekend weather-wise, by the way. I don't know if you saw that, Dave. Cool and sunny.

Might go out to the ranch and visit my mom at his Mother's Day weekend. That plan is kind of taking shape right now, so that's most likely gonna happen. But if we do, we gotta plan it around his baseball game. He has a game that afternoon, so it might interfere with that plan. I don't know exactly. And then that's it, man. I'm enjoying being outdoors.

I'm gonna get some walks in with Stella, probably go get some margaritas with Chelsea at some point. But I don't really have any concrete plans other than that. What about you? Pretty wide open. Let me think here. I believe this is our last T-ball prep.

We may have two more. Maybe we have one, I don't know. We got last t-ball prep. We may have two more. Maybe I don't know we got t-ball and Thank God for good weather. We needed it We're kind of at the point with like the league that we're doing t-ball in that like I think we need to move we need to move up to like a different league because while he does enjoy and he's got buddies like He's gotten great at the plate, but like the hitting and throwing which I'm trying to work with them on it's it's kind of plateaued He's also for I get it, but I'd like I want him to see some some growth and

It's just hard. It's hard. It's hard when They don't they don't really don't have the time And like the structure to get better now he I mean, they don't they don't I expect it from him. He loves that don't you know he's not a big guy. Oh, I absolutely love it It's so great cuz he looks he'll walk over to me cuz I usually stand around third base I'm kind of like the third base coach basically make sure the kids run to me giving him signs at first Yeah, well he gets to me. He'll get the first thing. He'll say his dad. I smoked it really yeah, dude I don't like you fucking definitely did dude. That's where it's at so great.
