Starting point is 00:00:00 Good morning. My name's Dave. Welcome to the Circling Back Podcast. That's your best one yet. I enjoy it. It's funny because it was the best and I hated it the most because it just felt forced. Yeah, well, I liked it, Dave. That's Dylan Chevery. Yes.
Starting point is 00:00:39 Chevery, right? Chevery. A.K.A. Chivery, but whatever you want to say is fine. I've only known you for, I don't know, 15 years now. A decade plus. Yeah. I'm doing great, man. Glad to be here. It's Monday morning. I'm ready to get this pod. Will is still not here, by the way. That's why you're at the helm again. We have the actual vacation, Will. He's actually in Cabo. He does this. So once a year for about a month, he just decides to go on six back-to-back vacations. It's a little much, but he does it, and we let him do it. To be fair, his previous one was work-related in some capacity. I think he parlayed it into a dope NYC trip.
Starting point is 00:01:18 Yeah, he did. Which, I mean, that's the only move, right? I think so. We got a special guest today. Very special guest. Very special guest very special damn wow why don't you come calm down there let me intro you i am the free episode still it's not like a patreon well it's not that special no it still counts dan more people listen to the free ones than they do the patreon ones they like that that's true i'm glad you brought it up

Starting point is 00:01:52 The name I wrote under for six months. The internet's own Jackhammer. Explain Jackhammer. There's no explaining. I needed a fake name to write under when I first got to TFM. We hired him. And you got to come up with a pseudonym to write under. And was like i don't have one we're like how about i don't know something you work out like something like hardcore sounding like jack hammer jack hammer that that'll

We worked with Dan at our old company. Now we're all we're all out here doing our own thing. And the specter of Jack Hammer just refuses to stop haunting Dan. And it's mainly my fault in this podcast fault. It's just I don't know why. It's just the funniest thing. You know what?
Starting point is 00:02:41 The lore continues to grow. There's no real story behind it. It's not an interesting story.

Yeah, I'm still on golds. Still on golds? Yeah. Dave actually hit me up with a day lifetime pass. Oh, yeah. So that's big for me.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Yeah. Yeah, we're lifetime boys. We have fun up there. I love to give back. I just like to be with, like, I just like golds. It's just like the gym for me. I get it. It's a gym boy gym.
Starting point is 00:06:04 I get it. No, it is. You just go bang weight around gold. That's what it's there for the gym for me. It's a gym boy gym. I get it. No, it is. You just go bang weight around gold. That's what it's there for. Right. I like the guys who were the power lifting or old school bodybuilder gold gym tanks to our gym lifetime. Just to let people know. It's a little bit of a stunt.
Starting point is 00:06:19 They came up the tough way. They came up through the ranks. They weren't just handed this silver spoon. We're here for the come up. Like, graduated yeah good for you right like lifetime maybe you were kind of like at the academy you became an officer but if you actually have that gold's tank it's like no i was i was a grunt yeah yeah i came through the right i worked my way up it's a good analogy right all right so aside from just staying in shape what you've been doing what have you been up to you mentioned you have some free time on your hands.
Starting point is 00:06:46 I do. Are you in search of employment right now? What's going on with you? So it's an exciting time for me, actually. Okay. Because of so much unknown. So I've got a month left on my lease. And by the way, we'll get to that later when we steam.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Oh, you just teased the steam. Wow. Just teased the steam. Guests don't usually tease segments, but here's wow dan's a he's a veteran dan's coming in trying to podcasting game uh so other than that uh trying to figure out i'm currently in the interview process with a few uh potential employers you got some irons in the fire i do uh one's in philadelphia oh no yeah damn no one's in orlando and one's in jacksonville so we'll see what happens. Are you going to work with Limp Bizkit?
Starting point is 00:07:27 There's a collab coming, yeah. I don't want to spoil it right away. Well, look, let's just talk about it. Yeah, you know they're from Jacksonville. Keep rolling, rolling, rolling. You know, Dan went with us to Jacksonville. Yeah, he did. Dan was low-key the MVP of that trip.
Starting point is 00:07:39 That was like the best trip we've ever went on. Yeah, it was great. Shout out to, hey, let's just name drop. Shout out to the tour. They took great care of us. Shout out to my boy, Blake Bortles. You remember when you thinned a wedge in that little chipping challenge? And almost murdered a man?
Starting point is 00:07:53 In cold blood? Yeah. Yeah, no, that had like 400,000 views. I don't think he thinned it. I think he just muscled it up. He took like a full hack and it was like a 40-yard area that we could hit in. Well, we didn't actually show the video before that with my first shot where I kept it short. So there was no way I was going to go short.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Right. So, yeah, that poor man who was just trying to clean up the balls. I think it was towards the end of the day. They had an indoor chipping thing and it was like a – Oh, it was like a replica of 16. 17. Yeah, 17. 17.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Yeah. And I guess we just were in there they were letting us hit some balls Dan just, Dan Gorilla had won and there was a dude that's true I do hold a golf club like I'm Donkey Kong it went micro viral too that video it did go micro it was the original micro I mean we spent so much time on some of these original videos
Starting point is 00:08:38 that we used to do that would get a decent amount of views but then a video of me almost killing a man in cold blood at a replica TPC-17. Cold blood? Yeah, that goes micro-viral. 400,000 views or whatever. I think that was on one page.
Starting point is 00:08:53 I think it was close to a milli between all the pages we had. I think so, but there's no way of knowing. We don't have the analytics. We don't have the data available. Who wants to actually go back and run the numbers? I don't. Yeah, I definitely don't. You know what I want to do, though?
Starting point is 00:09:05 I want to know, are you steaming on anything? I guess you already teased that. Hold on. I've got to say something first. I've still got some more stuff going on. I've got to say something first. Dan, I've been worried about you. Why is that?
Starting point is 00:09:15 Because I, obviously, I know that because we got laid off at the same time. It was the same time, right? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I was laid off by the same company twice. Nobody else is doing that. Yeah, that doesn't happen. Man, that is true.
Starting point is 00:09:29 It's very tough to do. So obviously I knew that you were not employed for a stint. Is that in your Twitter bio, by the way? I'm sorry. No, no. I should actually add that. Or like lead with that with interviews. I haven't kept up with you much directly,
Starting point is 00:09:42 but people we know have. One of them is a guy who's not here today, Will. No, actually Dave. Dave more than the rest of us. that with interviews i haven't kept up with you much directly but people we know have uh one of them is a guy who's not here today will no actually dave dave more more than the rest of us so i know that you've been gambling yeah i know that you've been gambling on sports as you did while we were at grand x together but but as you'll notice like i don't really touch i don't talk about it the difference is twitter the difference is uh back then you had a steady income. Right. Now not so much. No. So I've been worried about you.
Starting point is 00:10:08 The other day Dave texted us, and he was like, hey, we need Poulter to pull this one out. I was like, oh, shit, why? What's going on? He goes, it would be good for Dan. I'll just say. Yeah, no. Dan needs this one.
Starting point is 00:10:19 I've come very close to a few licks of golf. I'm like incredible at picking guys that finish second in golf tournaments. And then remember when you decided the one time you didn't pick Kiz was in the Dell match play? Yep. I was addicted to betting Kevin Kisner to win golf tournaments. You've been betting Kevin Kisner for a long time. For the beginning of the golf season or whatever. And then they get to Dell match play.
Starting point is 00:10:41 I'm like, top 64 guys in the world. I don't think Kevin Kisner pulls this out. And of course he does. They get to Dell match play. I'm like, top 64 guys in the world. I don't think Kevin Kisner pulls this out. And of course he does. And then I was probably the only person on the planet cheering for Xander Shoffley at the Masters because that would have been like a 5K lick. I love that pick though. Right?
Starting point is 00:10:56 That guy's going to win a major soon. Oh, well, let's not. Let's just do golf talk because throughout unemployment, I've spent a lot of time just watching golf channel yeah i know that's pretty much what we text about dan dan so i i didn't i'm not really worried about dan because i know he's got he's got some uh some irons in the fire as they say but this kind of started when when this all went down back in like november december or whatever and dan started texting me asking about the Mavs.
Starting point is 00:11:26 He's like, what do you think about the Mavs tonight, Mavs Magic? I'm like, I don't know. I mean, I was like, is Lucas playing? But like, I don't know. And then I realized Dan's gambling on the fucking Mavs. Well, there was a period where the Mavs had one of the best records against the spread. They did.
Starting point is 00:11:39 And also one of the best home records. They did, and then they traded their entire core away. Or at the time, it was their core. But core but yeah so from there it kind of progressed into dan texting me about golf which i prefer those texts i'm much more comfortable talking golf than betting nba betting nba is not my thing it's never gonna be my thing what about gambling college basketball that was fun that i i honestly if i ever ghosted you on a text it was because i just had nothing to say like i don't want to tell you about tech tonight yeah 17 year olds just dribbling off their legs out of bounds take the under in college basketball always who would have been
Starting point is 00:12:15 your greatest success stories great success stories yeah like this year do you oh no do you have any i mean i did this is going back. Probably Frankie Molinari won the British Open. Okay. Last year. That's probably the best like I've had. I like that. Dan, since the layoff, are you plus or minus gambling? I'm even.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Really? Yeah. Really? No, I really am. That's what people say when they're down a little bit and they don't want people to think No, I've actually been smarter with my gambling. I haven't. Okay. I've stuck to like a unit and i pretty much every week i break even so it's like it's not okay i feel better like i'll be up 100 bucks
Starting point is 00:12:52 i'll be up 200 bucks but okay for the most part i've kept my composure yeah that's good what other irons are in the fire you said you have a job maybe in Philly. What else? Yeah, if you guys want to – your fans want to tweet either the Philadelphia 76ers or – Oh, name drop. They need a new point guard or what? What are you doing? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's interesting because they're in the playoffs right now.
Starting point is 00:13:15 They are, but we need somebody to guard smaller guards because we have nobody on our team. And you're the guy. I think I might be that guy. They thought of the guy with the foot that was put back on sideways. That's not talked about enough. Oh, yeah. Dan's got a... Dan broke his leg a long time ago, and it was set wrong when they fixed his leg.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Yeah. It was like... It's like a couple degrees off. It's like his foot's a couple degrees off. It's on like a 110-degree angle, yeah. Two clicks to the right. Which is kind of problematic when I lift my legs, squats and deadlifts, which I still manage to do, but I have to kind of compensate with my other foot. That's so weird, man.
Starting point is 00:13:50 But, yeah, I broke that going into the sophomore year of high school and then just kind of been dealing with it ever since. Went to some shanty doctor. But for real, what's the Sixers job that you're trying to get? Is this going to hurt your chances talking about it here? I don't think so. They're not going to catch this. They're not going to catch talking about it here i don't think so they're not they're not gonna catch this no uh you don't think ben simmons listens so you're familiar with the
Starting point is 00:14:09 show hard knocks correct of course great show yeah uh their idea is to do something similar to that with uh kind of like behind the scenes documentary footage with the philadelphia 76ers so i would shoot edit and just kind of be it'd be an overall dream job are you flying out there to interview I had my first round of interviews last week this week I have an interview lined up with the senior producer and then if that goes well hopefully I fly out where I drive over I only have a month left on my lease so I might just drive back to Pennsylvania are these Skype interviews are they doing in person in Austin no these are phone interviews phone interviews the third interview if all goes well in the second interview i will have an in-person interview with the senior
Starting point is 00:14:49 producer so yeah good luck fingers crossed let you suit up and sit on the bench like not play but just kind of like when the mavs let tony romo suit up after he retired i mean i hope i mean we're running cork maz out like first quarter in a game game one of the uh eastern conference semifinals so who knows anything's possible dan i actually just got some a note here uh slack to me and i'm first quarter in game one of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Who knows? Anything's possible. Dan, I actually just got a note here, Slack to me, and I'm not going to name my source.
Starting point is 00:15:13 They're saying that you actually are interviewing with the 76ers, but you're going to be the guy shooting the t-shirt cannon. See, I'd be the guy that would kind of not know which ends the right way, and I'd probably shoot myself in the dick. Remember that? CU Buffs. Yeah, the Colorado mascot did that. Ralphie, famously.
Starting point is 00:15:35 So I was at an NBA game recently, and I saw just the full force of the t-shirt cannon. And I was like, man, that is not something I want to shoot me in the peen. Like I want my peen to avoid that. Right. That thing's got some power well that mascot buckled did he die no he lived he's alive and well he was in a bad way now actually he was in a bad way he his name varies now he died at winterfell last night it just crumbled him but uh other than that name is it buff no it's uh ralphie ralphie ralphie the mat yeah the
Starting point is 00:16:03 buffalo but he died an honorable death he did death by t-shirt cannon uh other than that though uh i have a few other things in my my past that that may be beneficial might be talking to some some guys at golf channel might be talking to some guys at the pga tour who knows well damn man i fingers crossed i got one of these hits you'll land somewhere somewhere tight yeah i'm not really worried things work you have a good resume dude i'll start um you can tell the story about getting laid off twice by the same company and during your interviews that'll be fun one for them i mean there's kind of like a comfort to when you there's you hit rock bottom and you're like you know what it's not that bad it's not that bad it's only up from here. That's a good way of thinking about it.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Creatively, I've been working on a podcast with some of our former co-workers. Boosh, Jake. Been waiting on this thing to drop for like two years. And Rob Fox. It takes a while, man. We're writing like 70 original sketches. I got to edit everything. We got to record everything. We got to record everything.
Starting point is 00:17:07 We got to work around other people's schedules. So like we're almost done recording everything. So maybe I'm thinking ETA, end of May, maybe June. Yeah, I saw Boosh. Before we dropped that. I saw Boosh. You guys know Boosh, right? Boosh memes. Formerly Boosh memes.
Starting point is 00:17:22 What's he now? What up, Boosh or something? What up, Boosh? I think I told him to change it to that. that guy can't stop rebranding i know it's he's my favorite he he's he's incredible he's he's like a fucking savant but like he's just he's kind of lost right now he'll be fine i saw him at the bar and he was telling me he's really he's really excited about this sketch comedy thing so i think it's been good I think everything we recorded we've laughed at
Starting point is 00:17:47 are there going to be some jokes in it we're going to have some jokes oh hell yeah we can expect to laugh at these jokes are tight yeah you know what else is tight
Starting point is 00:17:55 Game of Thrones okay I thought that was going to go right into an ad read no what about Steam Room Dave I don't know I don't know
Starting point is 00:18:02 you keep bouncing around Seggies we haven't done the Steam Room yet look man I'm steaming let's go I'm ready? I don't know. You keep bouncing around Seggies. We haven't done the steam room yet. I'm steaming. Let's go. I'm ready. Don't give me this chair if you don't want me to go loco. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Do you want me to go loco or not? No, I don't. I want to get in the steam room. Do you bring your towel and your flip flops, Dan? Do you know what this is? Yeah, no. I have an idea. My sister listens to this podcast.
Starting point is 00:18:22 She kind of keeps me up to date with all the messages. Is she the one that's always texting you? Yeah. I'm kidding. We're having fun. She texts me every podcast. She's like, oh, they mentioned you again. So she texts you every podcast.
Starting point is 00:18:34 We talk about the jackhammer. That's cool of her to listen. Tell her we said thank you. We can talk. She's listening right now. What's her name? What's her at? Let's all follow.
Starting point is 00:18:41 I don't know her at. Give us a first name. Her name's Taylor. Taylor. Yeah. Taylor, thank you for listening. We appreciate you. T-Regs? Let's all follow. I don't know her at. Give us a first name. Her name's Taylor. Taylor. Yeah. Taylor, thank you for listening. We appreciate you. T-Regs?
Starting point is 00:18:48 Thanks for your business. T-Regs. Taylor Hammer. Yeah. Jack Hammer. I've dealt with nothing but bad nicknames in my past. Like Danny Regs. That just sounds like a bad drug dealer.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Well, henceforth, she shall be Madam Hammer. Don't say henceforth on the pod. Or sir. You're going to knight her? Okay, so Dan, here's what the steam room is. Basically, we just vent. We steam on stuff in our lives that's bothering. I got something I think is pretty perfect.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Life-changing stuff that people worldwide need to know. We came up with this segment because Dave and I, at the gym, we hit the steam room. Of course, yeah. Got to hit up those amenities. Oh, man. Lifetime. It's a country club up there. I mean, you're paying for that.
Starting point is 00:19:30 It's fantastic. Not an ad. And so, yeah, we use this as an opportunity to get things off our chest, basically. Right. So we like to, hold on. First, we got to turn the steam on. Okay, there it is.
Starting point is 00:19:43 You feel it? Yeah. You feel it? It's coming in. We slip into our towels. Do you know where you are? Throw the flops on. Okay, there it is. You feel it? Yeah. You feel it? It's coming in. We slip into our towels. Do you know where you are? Throw the flops on. In the jungle, baby.
Starting point is 00:19:50 You're going back. And then what I do, Dan, is I like to get a towel, one of those long ones. I like to roll it up. I like it to wet the tip a little bit. I really hate when he does this.
Starting point is 00:19:58 I hate when he does this. Get over here, Dave. Yeah, I'm right in front of you. I like to just whip the shit out. I'm standing here. I like to whip the shit out of Dave for a a couple minutes like generic high school bully yeah okay dan the floor is yours what are you steaming on sir okay so like i said i still have a month left in my my place i live in a house yes it's a fairly it's a fairly nice house i live with where i did live with three
Starting point is 00:20:20 other people but now i'm just it's just me and my roommate matt because uh two people just moved out this weekend it's getting very empty uh did your girlfriend not live with you uh you know she did and then we broke up oh i'm sorry i didn't know that no it's cool it was amicable yeah i'm sorry no worries did i hit her with that unfollow no we're still friends oh i actually i feel bad listen does she you know moving is terrible, but moving your ex-girlfriend out is maybe the worst thing ever. I normally don't cry in the steam room. No, it's all good. But what I'm steaming on is,
Starting point is 00:20:56 so I have a month left on this place, and our landlord is trying to rent out, obviously trying to get a tenant in right after us. So he puts the information up on all these housing websites, all these leasing websites. You think it's on Zillow? He's trying to move you out
Starting point is 00:21:10 and them in on the same day, basically. Right. So he puts my number on this website and I'm just getting just bombarded with all these leasing agents. He puts your personal phone number on the website? My personal number because he wants these leasing agents
Starting point is 00:21:23 to just straight contact me in order to... Wait, what? I'm the middleman who's scheduling all these appointments with guys who want to visit my house. As the landlord, that's his responsibility. You're not trying to sell the house for him or rent the house out for him.
Starting point is 00:21:39 That's bullshit. But all these leasing agents, they have no connection to this house. They're just kind of vultures trying to get... Oh, that's a dirty game. They're trying to chase a buck. It really is. They're just trying to catch their nut. And I kind of respect it, but at the same time, I have 10 different leasing agents every
Starting point is 00:21:54 day trying to schedule appointments every single day. And I'm like, dude, I can't have 50 strangers in my house. You should hire a personal secretary. Just to take my calls and everything? Yeah. Yeah. I see if it's in the budget. There's no a personal secretary. Just to take my calls and everything? Yeah. I see if it's in the budget. There's no benefit in it for you financially, but... So how are you handling all this? Are you being a team player and actually scheduling them and getting out of the
Starting point is 00:22:14 house? Do you keep the house really clean, I would imagine? That's kind of the bitch. I'm still living here. I don't want to have to clean this house every single day. My roommate, who just moved out this weekend, before that, he was living in Indiana because he took a job in Indiana a few months ago. So he moved and just left all this stuff. So he kind of left his room a mess.
Starting point is 00:22:33 And it was just to the point where I'm like, we can't do anything with this room. So when you show this house, just avoid that room. See, I've been. I'm sure they love that. I've been to this. Avoid that room. See, I've been... I'm sure they love that. I've been to this venue.
Starting point is 00:22:44 I've sold my house before, which is totally different because I'm the one who's benefiting from the house actually selling. There's nothing in this for you. No, I don't get cut. No, you don't get kickback if you help a leasing agent find you. Tell them you want a little taste. Yeah. Tell them to give you a little kickback.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Right. Dave and I love a good kickback. Love a kickback. This is a pro kickback pod. Yeah. Like, give me a little action, sir. I'm doing all the legwork over here. This is funny you brought this in to the pod, into the steam room, because somebody hit
Starting point is 00:23:10 me on Twitter. They tagged me in a friend's tweet, and they were going through the exact same thing. Like, exact. And it's, you know, it's classic landlord-tenant stuff. You know, it's in your lease, probably, assuming you have one. Yeah. That they can show it. It probably says something about reasonable notice to you.
Starting point is 00:23:28 Well, they were trying to schedule stuff like a few hours in advance. I'm like, I need at least 24 hours. Like, bare minimum. I would think that that's what they would want, too. Because, I mean, no offense, just some chill bro dudes that are living there. Dudes in their 20s? Probably, yeah. They know that it's not going to be the most clean place we got two dogs i mean yeah you got pups there and you have this you have
Starting point is 00:23:50 the forbidden room for some reason that your boy your boy it's like don't go in there like a goddamn crime scene or you're cooking some meth or something right are you guys cooking meth oh i mean it's good to make a quick book honestly yeah I mean how do you think I've been surviving all these months oh this gambling bit so it's just it's just throwing me off the scent
Starting point is 00:24:09 right okay throwing the government off too yeah that's true until they listen to this pod yeah
Starting point is 00:24:14 it was a good round but um yeah no I just kind of is this happening every day yeah it's every day wait when they come in
Starting point is 00:24:23 do you have to be there or do you have to be there? Or do you have to not be there? They prefer for me to be there. So I have to reschedule my daily routine. Well, what do you do when they're there? Because you're not showing them around. Are you just kind of hanging out? Well, they'll ask me questions.
Starting point is 00:24:35 So we're right by the train tracks. And they're like, oh, so does the train bother you guys at all? And I have to lie to them. Why don't you just say, yeah, it sucks. Because I want it to be over with. I want somebody to be like, all right, I want this house. So if I lie to them and tell them, yeah, no, it's not a big deal. Because the house actually rumbles from the freight train that goes by every day.
Starting point is 00:24:57 How close is the train? 20 feet. Wait, really? Yeah, it's right by a high school too. And the train actually- You're 20 feet from a train track. Yeah, the train stopped like last week or something for about seven hours because it hit somebody. Wait, is this one of those things where you say 20 feet and it's really like 50 yards?
Starting point is 00:25:15 Or is it really 20 feet? No, it's like 20 feet. It's like in my backyard. Imagine asking a guy who lives in a house that's 20 feet from a train track. Hey, can you hear the train? You're like, oh, no, it's good, man. It's a light rail, right? I would leave there and be like, yo, this guy's a straight up,
Starting point is 00:25:29 you just lied to us. The train's right there. You know what you should do? You should do like the Step Brothers thing where they just like. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We thought about that. We advertised it. You should cover yourself in like coal and like have like a stick with a
Starting point is 00:25:40 bandana on it and be like, you just hopped out of a box car. with a bandana on it and be like, just got out, you know, like you just hopped out of a box car. Like, mind if I hang out
Starting point is 00:25:48 in the backyard for a few weeks? Yeah, the house rumbles then, huh? The house rumbles. Actually, my closet,
Starting point is 00:25:55 a few months ago, the shelves fell off, just kind of peeled off. Because of the train? Because of the train. And I had to get that fixed. It was like 400 bucks, but that was taking up my rent. It's gotta be tough on the foundation of that that yeah and it's
Starting point is 00:26:08 like it's like a new complex where some like some contractor came in and just built like the same shitty house over and over again yeah so it's not like the most well-built house cookie cutter yeah do you have cracks in the wall um no we we or if we did have cracks it got fixed but everything in the house is kind of like it's like smart smart technology too you have a nest we have nest yeah it's tight the camera in the front door we have the uh the thermostat which is uh digital which i don't let anybody else touch well the nest right that's what right right oh but i'm like an old man with the the thermostat so like when my girlfriend my ex-girlfriend was living in the house at the time she would always like crank
Starting point is 00:26:48 it down if it was it was throwing the ac down she put it to 65 i'm like hell no was she kicking in rent oh yeah she paid rent she paid everything she's covering everything for the rest of our lease so no it's cool it's it's all good oh that's huge i'm a single man it's exciting times i was a single game treating you it's been good i haven't really's huge. I'm a single man. It's exciting times. How's the single game treating you? It's been good. I haven't really tried to. It's been a few weeks, but I haven't really. Oh, it's fresh.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Yeah, I'm not diving in there. Yeah, you don't need to dive in yet, man. Right. Plus, I don't really know where I'm going. So it's like. You got to think this pod will help out your prospects. You got to think. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Look, Dan's a single good looking man. So ladies, holler at your boy are you on any apps to use the phone apps no no not yet maybe eventually dylan what was the discovery you made courtesy of like that viral monkey tinder video didn't you say that you didn't realize when you swipe you responded to something oh on instagram it was Instagram. There was a viral video of a chimpanzee using Instagram. And he was just scrolling it like a human would. But it's interesting because he's a monkey. He's a chimp.
Starting point is 00:27:53 He's a chimp. You know, those things will rip your dick off. They're going to take our jobs. So he would click on someone's picture. He would click on someone's picture to obviously make it full screen. And then instead of hitting the top left arrow to go back the back button he would swipe left to right yeah i didn't know that you could do to return to someone's page i didn't know that was an option in instagram so this that's a chimpanzee but you
Starting point is 00:28:14 got to think his brain is not as advanced as mine because i'm a human being um this chimpanzee showed me something on social media that i was unaware of and i've been using instagram for a minute you think that chimp like matched and like went on a date and it was going well. And then he just ripped his date limb by limb. Like just ripped it clear apart. Or maybe just like threw poo at her. Or poo. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:34 There's probably some poo involved. Yeah. Or maybe it was a dude. We don't know. I don't, I see. I don't know if the chimps are out there dating, like in a traditional sense, like you're thinking. So like they went down to Eberly, like had a couple of drinks, got some apps apps maybe like a charcuterie board and then he just he just fucking wild out i mean would you serve a chimp if he walked into your establishment i will serve anyone how do you
Starting point is 00:28:54 check his id like what's the legal drinking age for a chimp no one really knows do they live to be 21 how old do chimps live to be the chimp walks in in. Let's guess. Let's guess. I think a chimp. I'm going to say 40s. I'm going to say 30. I was thinking 33. I say 41. I'm going to lowball you guys. I'm going to say 25.
Starting point is 00:29:14 I'm going to look it up right now. So the chimp's walking in. The doorman's like, got an ID? And he's patting himself. I don't have it, man. Wow. All right, just go. Wow.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Okay. 50 years is the common lifespan. I don't have it man wow alright just go wow okay uh 50 years is the common okay lifespan I probably should have guessed that okay well that's in captivity uh
Starting point is 00:29:34 so you gotta think it's a 40 for uh a wild a wild ass chimp because they're probably gonna get got at some point well it's hard out there on the streets Dan
Starting point is 00:29:43 it is yeah when someone's serving you meals every day so like so it's like he meets this girl and like they have a couple good days and she's telling her friends like so who who's this guy it's like well he's a chimp okay this website this website says chimpanzees rarely live past the age of 40 in the wild but have been known to reach the age of 60 in captivity. His name's George. His name's George, and he flings his poo at me, and he ripped my arm out of the socket.
Starting point is 00:30:15 But things are going pretty well. He does have a nice little cute little yellow raincoat. He's yoked. There is a chimp that's 80 years old currently living. You're doing curious George jokes. I am, yeah. There's an 80-year-old chimp that's 80 years old currently living you're doing curious george jokes i am yeah there's an 80 year old chimp this is big news think about does he have a walking stick i don't know man dude you think yeah you think he just grabbed the stick off the ground and just kind of like he was as a walker he was born in the 30s think about it well he's been to
Starting point is 00:30:40 a lot yeah he's seen some wait where's he located? It hard to say. He was born in the 30s? That makes all the difference. You think that chimp served in World War II? I don't think so. Was he eligible? He might have been. I mean, if he was born in the 30s, you got to think. What if we found out this chimp dodged Nam?
Starting point is 00:30:59 Like, was a total draft dodger. He at least served in Korea, right? Yeah. He was the least of age in Korea. People forget about Korea. Man. The silent war. I like chimp facts.
Starting point is 00:31:12 That should be a new segment. We're actually still in the steam room. Dave, are you steaming on anything? No, man. I just want to talk about this hypothetical chimpanzee more. Should we turn the steam off finally? Yeah, probably. We're being wasteful with this.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Let's get out of our towels. We've been here for a long time. It's not safe to be in a steam room for too long. It's crazy. Dan's in here barefoot. I just noticed that. Did you not bring slides? I didn't bring pants.
Starting point is 00:31:31 You're going to catch a staph infection, Dan. Yeah, be careful. Make sure you shower off. You don't want the planters to work. People will just be pouring sweat in here. Nah, if you just walk barefoot, you build up the mitochondria in your foot and you're good. It's like that guy from, I forget the show on Discovery, but it was like the two discovery or two survival guys bear grills no no there was the one guy that was like ex-military but then there was the hippie guy that was like
Starting point is 00:31:53 it was a dual tag team survival show i forget what it was called but yeah they just hook up he just yeah yeah they just made it just survived and kissed but he would just walk around barefoot and he said it just built up the mitochondria in his foot. Wait, so that's a real thing? I guess. Wait, maybe that's how Bear Grylls got his name. Because he's just always walking around barefoot like a fucking psycho. Is he still around?
Starting point is 00:32:19 Is he still doing the damn thing? Yeah, remember he had Obama on and stuff? No. Obama did a survival thing yeah i swear to god really i'm surprised tiger hasn't been on he had katie perry too i think or somebody what he's sketchy man yeah he's he's that's all fake he's not surviving no there was always like a filming it no survivor there was a real one like one everybody was like oh that's the dude and then there was like i think think it was Bear Grylls.
Starting point is 00:32:46 People were like, bro, you're eating Cliff Bosh. Dude, I see the Doritos in your backpack. The cameraman throws him like a ham sandwich when the cameras are off. Like, here you go, Bear. Just chill out, buddy. Dan, that should be your new gig. You should be the cameraman on like a startup Survivor show. And you just like are tossing Philly cheesesteaks to the guy on the low.
Starting point is 00:33:10 On the low? Yeah. You like cheesesteaks? You're from Philly, right? Okay. Yeah. Delco. Delco.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Delaware County. Shouts. Speaking of shouts, did you guys see Game of Thrones last night? Dan, are you watching this show? Have you heard of it? Yeah. You hear about this? you hear about this? You hear about this?
Starting point is 00:33:25 So normally when we do this segment, Will's in here, and you know Will's never watched it. Right. So he puts on his headphones and listens to the wall fires. That's a good bit he's got going on, right? But now the bit is Dylan and Dave and Dan talk Game of Thrones. Triple D talks Game of Thrones while Will's on vacation. I was going to ask Dan to put the headphones on and listen to the wall flowers. No, I want Dan in this.
Starting point is 00:33:43 Yeah, no, I like this show. Actually, Dan, you're out. Put the headphones on. listen to wallflowers no i want dan in this yeah no i like this actually dan you're out put the time participate um all right overall impressions of episode three the battle of winterfell all right let me let me preface this with saying big fan of the show oh here we go uh read the wait should we just go back in the steamer this is even more surprising i actually read the first book that might catch a lot of listeners off guard i read i can read dan is a reader folks dan can read it's official i know sometimes it may seem like when i talk i can't i'm not literate there's a butt coming in in your sentence you said you like the show there's a butt coming i gotta say i don't know if it was my brain being fried from
Starting point is 00:34:19 how good avengers endgame was and how well they wrap things up please don't i'm not gonna spoil it but i'm just gonna say it was very well done and they wrapped 11 years worth of storytelling perfectly. People are already spoiling it, you know. But yeah, I was very underwhelmed with this episode. Whoa. Yeah. And I mean, I can get into it.
Starting point is 00:34:38 I'll let you guys have the floor. My overall take is the episode was extremely entertaining. But there's some things that I wish they had done differently right for sure there was definitely i thought that the entire beginning was the way they were building up anticipation uh the dothraki charging in um with their swords going out was maybe one of the best scenes i've ever seen totally great that was a really really cool scene cool way strategically way to start the battle. Strategically speaking, not the best. Jon's made some questionable decisions on the battlefield. That being one of them.
Starting point is 00:35:10 But like... You don't think that they utilized the... Cinematically, it was beautiful. You don't think they utilized the wild-ass blood riders very well? Like just sending them into the great unknown? I don't think so. I think you can utilize that a little better. I really don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:24 It's just like, hey, we've got like... Those are their most vicious, talented fighters, right? The Dothraki? Yep. Those savage fighters they have. And they basically just sent them to their deaths. To slaughter. With Jorah.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Just that group of fighters versus, oh, I don't know, 100,000 of the dead. Like, what are you doing, dog? And it caused Daenerys to immediately abandon their game plan. Yeah. She makes some rash decisions, yeah. But sometimes for the best. You've got to abandon their game plan. Yeah. She makes the rash decisions, yeah. You got to stick to the plan. Yeah. My problems with the episode, though,
Starting point is 00:35:51 and probably just the story as a whole now, is I don't think we're going to get a whole lot more with Bran and the Night King. And I think if that's the case, what the fuck was the point? I agree with that. That's honestly my biggest disappointment. Now, I watched this after going to a church's show. I went to a concert last night. You guys may think, like, Dave's 34.
Starting point is 00:36:13 He's washed. He doesn't go see churches. I went, okay? I went and saw churches. I came home, immediately turned the show on at like 11 o'clock, and my ears were kind of ringing. I'm going to go back and watch it again. Entertainment value was there. I was on the edge of my seat. o'clock and my ears were kind of ringing i'm gonna go back and watch it again entertaining like
Starting point is 00:36:25 entertainment value was there i was i was on the edge of my seat i didn't tweet that i was literally having a panic attack or something but in another in another dimension maybe i did tweet that but all things considered i'm bummed i want to know more backstory on the night king i want to know who he is and i guess maybe the prequels that they're going to do like two years from now are going to address that but I don't got two years to wait or whatever it is yeah I mean
Starting point is 00:36:48 so much has gone into the White Walker story right I mean episode one scene one the series starts with the White Walker scene one
Starting point is 00:36:56 it's like oh shit this is about some like snow zombie monster living out in the woods that they set the scene from the jump and it was a an ongoing storyline throughout the entire series and now here with three episodes left to close out the
Starting point is 00:37:10 show that storyline is completely finished bro that bothers me a little bit not to mention he died some rufio ass death like it was like the ultimate like gotcha boom and it was just i don't know it seemed it seemed like i need i needed more just I don't know it seemed it seemed like I needed I needed more I don't know they need to give us more on how Arya snuck up there
Starting point is 00:37:30 how she was able to just subvert the other white walker did she change her eyes to blue I don't know yeah she face changed to a white walker what
Starting point is 00:37:37 yeah I think that's the whole scene with Lysandra right before you see her run up one of the walkers turns to like look at the action that's her
Starting point is 00:37:44 yeah because they they set up that scene with the red woman and her talking she was like uh they had some kind of past history and she was like i've seen you like shut many eyes brown green and blue and then she goes oh shit i can switch into one of these guys if i want to and she that's what she did that's how she snuck up on that so what was actually really well confirmed for this episode yeah yeah i think it is confirmed yes what was really well handled throughout this episode was just like aria had her own little story arc throughout the entire episode so like this was aria's episode because because john's kind of just running around and he doesn't really do anything. Jon was a massive disappointment in this fight.
Starting point is 00:38:29 He knocked the Night King off of his dragon. Yeah. Someone's got to ride those dragons. I got to say, that was a little bit unbecoming of the Night King to just fall looking all squirrely like that. I feel like he deserved better. Yeah, but then he lands on the ground, and then I guess... So back to our core, the problem is like, if this is what we get with the Night King and Bran,
Starting point is 00:38:49 and we don't get any backstory. I know there's a lot of people out there who are so pot committed to this show that they just overlook all the issues and flaws and just love it for what it is. And that's great and all. You're entitled to your opinion. I'm not trying to change it. I'm not trying to like, if you enjoy the show for what it is like yeah that's great I just
Starting point is 00:39:06 I'm just venting my problems with the show I think like yeah I want to know more about this the Night King like yeah
Starting point is 00:39:12 we get that maybe he's a Stark maybe now he's a Targaryen because he took dragon fire like a fucking champ and look the guy's the guy's dead
Starting point is 00:39:20 and his army's dead but that doesn't mean that they can't provide us similar information in these last three episodes all we know is like oh the children of the forest
Starting point is 00:39:27 shoved dragonglass into his chest and he became a white walker to help the children of the forest defend off the humans the first man or whatever and now
Starting point is 00:39:35 he turned on them children of the forest regret their decision and now he's just been chilling for 8,000 years waiting for Bran I guess
Starting point is 00:39:42 yeah we need more I totally agree. We have three episodes to wrap this thing up. Now it's just human on human fighting, which is cool, but the Night King has been such a prominent figure in all this. It's just weird to me.
Starting point is 00:39:58 I will say the crux of the show, it's at its best when it's human versus human. I always thought that the White Walker storyline was kind weird but if like if that was going to be the main story like or a side side story you still go with it and you give us a little bit more explanation but i think it was a little bit of poor writing i think maybe benioff and weiss weren't as emotionally invested in that story as maybe george rr martin was like maybe they kind of like they're working with them and like yeah i guess we'll do this but they were more interested in like the Cersei storyline and that's why they're giving that three
Starting point is 00:40:28 episodes and I guess we'll only we'll see when I mean we have three episodes left maybe they'll actually touch on the Night King and Bran we'll see where it goes from there because the entire time Bran during the battle Bran's just he wargs in the Ravens and then he's just what is he doing the entire time he's just kind of like the flock
Starting point is 00:40:43 of Ravens yeah but I don't I don't know I have a quick question I needed him to warg into something way doper What is he doing the entire time? He's just kind of like... The flock of ravens? Yeah, but he's... I don't know. I have a quick question. I needed him to warg into something way doper. Quick question. Maybe a dragon. The Red Woman. Where was she prior to the Battle of Winterfell?
Starting point is 00:40:54 She came out of the darkness. She was in Essos, right? Yeah, she went back to Essos. Maybe she learned some blood magic. No, she definitely... I say this. Full disclosure. I watched the Ringers thing.
Starting point is 00:41:06 Okay. After the Thrones. They do a really good job. Yeah, they know the fuck out of it. Jason Concepcion, right? Yeah, I mean, he can... Yeah, he said that she's been basically an SOS, like honing her craft.
Starting point is 00:41:19 So... Okay. Yeah, she learned some shit. I guess. That was tight when she lit the swords on fire. That was tight. Very cool. At one point, she was MVP shit. I guess. That was tight when she lit the swords on fire. That was tight. Very cool. At one point, she was MVP.
Starting point is 00:41:27 She was MVP. Until Arya started just stacking bodies. I mean, Arya came out of, like, this was... What a badass Arya. I'm going to issue a revision. I'm going to amend my take. I'm looking, because I've been kind of quiet the last couple minutes. I've been looking to see, like, did she really take the white walker's face and a lot of people are saying she did and now
Starting point is 00:41:47 that i'm seeing this like seeing the scene on a clip that's not on my tv turns his head to look like that makes sense and that is that that makes me feel a little bit better about how this went down still want more backstory and i guess they're gonna save it for the prequels and i guess it makes sense brand gave her the the dagger fromfinger that was made of Valerian steel. And he gave it to her in the same exact location in which she killed the Night King. Right by that tree. What was the dagger she gave to Sansa, though? Because she gave Sansa a dagger to go to the crypts.
Starting point is 00:42:19 And then I thought that was the actual dagger first. Good question. And then there was a point in the crypts, you know, the safest place in Winterfell, where I thought Tyrion and Sansa were just going to do like a suicide pact. I thought that too. They hold hands. They pull out their daggers. I'm like, okay.
Starting point is 00:42:35 At that point, I'm like, all right, this is incredible. Like no one's fucking safe. I think all these people are in peril. Everyone's going to die. I thought Tyrion was done. Like no one's safe here and then it kind of just like eventually i'm not mad that the characters we like didn't die but everyone that did die i was like there was no emotional investment i don't care dude ed's
Starting point is 00:42:54 my dude the theon death was pretty intense are you a theon stan dude think of think about a reek guy about the road that the theon has gone down and it's very much self-imposed. He went from a likable it felt indifferent about him character to being just a total piece of shit scumbag who betrayed his family. The Starks, that's his family. Dude, he all the way redeemed himself. Coward. Guy with no wiener.
Starting point is 00:43:18 The Ramsay Bolton thing, he went through, he's had the hardest road of probably anyone that was still alive at that point, right? Yeah. And he just totally redeemed himself. His death was super honorable. You've got to feel great about the Theon.
Starting point is 00:43:34 It was to the point where I just didn't care about Theon. And same with Jorah, same with Varric. Theon totally redeemed himself. Dude, but what about Ed? Ed's probably the guy I only cared about. Dude, Ed's a motherfucking writer. Ed was awesome. The Jorah death was up there with Theon, too. But I just don't care about Jorah.
Starting point is 00:43:48 Like, I'd never... I think Jorah's a good character. I enjoyed Jorah. He was a real one. Just Theon, though, he just kind of like... What would have been more Theon is if he just stepped aside for the Night King.
Starting point is 00:43:59 So he's not a coward anymore. Nah, dude. He was riding for the Starks at the end hard. I'm glad... Theon totally redeemed himself. I'm glad Theon didn't kill the night king oh we knew that wasn't gonna happen he was just committing suicide i didn't see aria killing him there was a split second where i was like what if we find out theon is the night king and like how okay i want the chaos of that like people would be like wait what the fuck theon I thought they should have killed off more
Starting point is 00:44:25 main characters. Well, there was a lot of red herons where it's like a bunch of bodies were stacking on to Brienne and Tarth and they're like, alright, she's done. And Sir Brienne. People would just get pulled off and be like, alright, no, I'm good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:41 Jaime was in peril for a little bit. I never thought Jaime was going to die how the fuck did gray worm survive so yeah grayworm should have been she'd been a dead man i guess he all right he's uh he's him in uh one hand jamie should have been a dead man i think jamie still got a little bit more story left i gotta i gotta issue this statement are they just gonna keep randomly inserting like the cgi ghost and no one's gonna acknowledge it and it's gonna have no bearing on Are they just going to keep randomly inserting the CGI ghost and no one's going to acknowledge it and it's going to have no bearing on the plot or anything?
Starting point is 00:45:10 It's almost like they forgot to write anything for Ghost and they're like, oh, let's just throw him in here. We got a little extra money in the budget. Here you go. Yeah, what the fuck? He's probably still alive. I heard they said that he's in the next... He is, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:22 In the trailer. Also, can we address... That's tight. What did you guys think of the way they filmed it? Oh, that's another talking point I have to bring up still. As far as the brightness on your TV? I mean, the brightness isn't that bad. It's just like the winter winds.
Starting point is 00:45:36 The whole thing was in a cloud, basically. And it was hard to see at times. I thought it made it more effective. Oh, I didn't like it. I kind of liked that it was chaotic right which it kind of goes more into this they shot it for story where it's like this battle is just absolute chaos they doubled down on it with the dragon like the we had way too much dragons flying around in clouds i'm not i'm not all in on the dragon but there is a shot though where the
Starting point is 00:46:02 they go above the clouds and the moon's in the background that is the most beautiful shot i've seen in tv history easily didn't you get that tatted on your back last night i'm thinking about it yeah let's go get tattoos let's go get game of thrones tattoos right now if you had to get one game of thrones tattoo which one would it be probably that shot it's just going to be that panoramic on your on your shoulder right above the clouds because you're a back in the background yeah huge bag how do they not look at the scene in post-production and be like man we really went too heavy on the clouds like it's hard to see at times what's going on and that's all just makes it feel what if that's all post-production too what if that wasn't even what if those weren't even clouds that was just night king vape smoke wow he just tossed the fattest cloud and they're just like oh
Starting point is 00:46:43 as he's falling off his dragon, he just kind of takes a puff and just like, it's Black Cherry! Oh, God. And why is he resilient to fire? Maybe they'll explain he's like part Targaryen. I don't know. Or just kind of like Night King magic bullshit. Who knows? I think, again, I think
Starting point is 00:46:59 Benioff and Weiss, this was a story that George R.R. Martin kind of forced upon them. They didn't care about it so much. At the end of the day, he's a faceless evil guy who just does evil shit because he's evil. There's really no drive or motivation for this man. That's what I want to know more. We didn't get to learn the symbolism of the arms being put in there.
Starting point is 00:47:23 That's what I'm saying. They spent so much time building this story and now it's just done with not much of a payoff or is it the entire episode they're getting slaughtered and then all of a sudden Night King just kind of like you gotta think
Starting point is 00:47:37 he's hot dogging he's walking up to Bran just like no I got this guys like I have to be the one that kills Bran he steps over toronn Lue? Yeah. The Iverson. Dude, if there's one thing I get tattooed,
Starting point is 00:47:49 it's Allen Iverson stepping over Tyronn Lue. I mean, that's all-time iconic. Okay. But, yeah. Big Philly guy. Big Philly guy. I just didn't really, I didn't really,
Starting point is 00:48:02 the whole ending and just, the whole story, i feel like they just mismatched did it entertain you yes or no yeah yeah it was super entertaining you know what left a little bit to be desired this is a lot i hate so you got we have to obviously give the knee-jerk i'm not just hating the hate no no i know i hate because i like this show like i care about once we once we see have time to digest the entire season it may end up looking way better right because there may be some things that come from it that we didn't see like we can't we don't understand right now but i think what worries me is this just this is just going to mean that cersei's going to kill off some of like our favorite characters but i love
Starting point is 00:48:39 cersei i would rather i would rather the night king like get ty than Cersei. I don't want that to happen. I think we might have also kind of fell into the trap where this show is so huge in pop culture where everyone's coming up with their own theories and everything that you start to hear some of them and you're like, oh, that would be badass. That would be awesome. And you just kind of buy into stuff. And then when that doesn't play out, it's kind of disappointing. That's fair. Because every theory has been thrown out there except what they actually did.
Starting point is 00:49:08 So, I don't know. Maybe they're like hiring Russian bots. For a minute there. Just throw out theories and just kind of like. Click farms and shit. For a minute there, I thought the theory of the Night King flying to King's Landing instead of Winterfell was accurate. Because he didn't make an appearance until 20 minutes into the battle. Yep.
Starting point is 00:49:23 Where was he? I bought into that. He was just flying around miles away, like waiting for his time to swoop in. That was weird to me a little bit. It was an interesting strategy. Also, him not facing down John when he had the chance. Yeah, where are you going, bitch boy? Get in there.
Starting point is 00:49:39 John wants to square up. Yeah, dude. You don't call your boys in to jump into the fight. Maybe it's because he is John. Maybe he knew that John was a real one and he probably could have taken him down. He's the prince who was promised. Is he, though? John, pound for pound,
Starting point is 00:49:53 is the best fighter in Westeros. Pound for pound. Now that the Viper was probably the guy. Oberyn. Are you saying pound for pound? Yeah. Think about it. I mean, what's John? probably the guy. Oberyn. Depends what you like. Are you saying pound for pound? Yeah. Think about it.
Starting point is 00:50:07 I mean, what's John like? I'm going to give him some. I'm going to do him a favor. I'm going to say 175. Oh, Dave, he's. 150? Yeah. No, John's thicker than me.
Starting point is 00:50:17 Is he? He's like 5'7". I don't know. I don't know. Okay, I'm giving him 5'9". In Westeros. Okay, he's a Westeros 5'os okay he's a Westeros 5'9 he's a Westeros 5'9
Starting point is 00:50:26 pound for pound he's the best fighter there yeah cause like our boy Aria well now Aria I guess Aria now which we didn't really
Starting point is 00:50:35 see beforehand cause she was more of an assassin she would sneak up on you but yeah she can handle her shit like in combat but in our boy the hound
Starting point is 00:50:43 just went complete like full hound and just kind of just shell shock yeah well this is typical hound behavior though he gets he gets terrified by the fire during battles and then he that's how he got here he he snaps out then he he loses focus then he snaps out of it when it's time to like save uh some little girl sansa before he nuts up yeah yeah he he has he has a soft spot for people. Well, now you know what this means, though. He's absolutely fighting his brother.
Starting point is 00:51:11 Click Game Bowl. We need that. We absolutely need that. It's happening. Which is one of the storylines I mentioned in a previous episode we needed a conclusion for. That was fun, guys. That'll be fun. We just talked Game of Thrones.
Starting point is 00:51:21 Yeah. Anything else? Maybe I was disappointed because I thought I was starting to bind to my own theory of like the night king somehow making a deal with cersei with her baby and then also shoving dragonglass into cersei and she become like the uh the night queen that would have been that would have been kind of cool i i like the thoughts like that only there was too many things that that had to happen in such a short time yeah yeah so i guess now we're getting back to the crux of the show it's like human versus human battle for the throne
Starting point is 00:51:50 uh so yeah i guess that's exciting but and we just kind of brush out the night king and everything but it just kind of seemed like a waste it's just like we didn't really need that storyline so they don't have any they have no army left yeah they don't have dothraki yeah in the preview for the next episode it's uh daenerys is standing in front of people saying like oh now we gotta take king's landing or whatever like dude with who yeah the unsullied are pretty beat up like they they held their own they kept during the retreat the unsullied fucking were the were the real mvps but they have some unsi left, but they don't have much. Dothraki's are gone. On Soli's pretty much beat up.
Starting point is 00:52:28 We do have two dragons. We don't know the actual condition of said dragons. Yeah, Jon's dragon's all fucked up. Yeah, he had a crash landing. Remember? Yeah. Drogon got stabbed like a billion times. Yeah, I thought he was toast.
Starting point is 00:52:42 He'll be high. Yeah, maybe fly, Dannyy you don't need to be on the ground you're on the dragon hey shouts to lady mormont you're taking out a giant just going down i thought we were i thought we were gonna get um viper viper death part two and she was just gonna get squeezed so hard that she exploded like i thought that's where this was going and i was like this is uh gratuitous we're just doing this. She took out a giant. She did. So it wasn't for nothing.
Starting point is 00:53:07 She became like a fan favorite. I feel like she definitely wasn't as big of a character. She was a little badass. Yeah. But like, I think the internet kind of vaulted her into what she became. You're saying that she's been overrated by the internet. No, no. I'm saying like she was probably originally written as like a bit character.
Starting point is 00:53:23 And now. Yeah. No, I think you're right. She kind of got... I mean, that was pretty cool. She took out a giant. The Tormund-Brienne storyline is still intact, too. Also Jaime, who I would love to try.
Starting point is 00:53:34 Also Jaime. You think they'll all hook up together? I'm glad Tormund's still alive. The Devil's Threesome? Yeah. Oh, Night King's Threesome is what they call it in Westeros. Wow. Yeah, we just went hard on Game of Thrones.
Starting point is 00:53:47 Overall, entertaining episode just kind of left me wanting a little more. I need more Bronn, too. Yeah, Bronn. Well, yeah, where's he? He's got that crossbow. He's supposed to be on his way to kill Jaime or Tyrion or both. Both of them, but that ain't going to happen. You got to think. Or maybe he does because he does anything for money. He's a whore. Nah. kill jamie or tyrian or both both of them but that ain't gonna happen you gotta think or maybe
Starting point is 00:54:05 maybe he does because he does anything for money he's a whore nah he's a real one when it comes down to it i guess we will tell time will tell will we see elephants is that that's the uh no question everybody's asking for i got a question what's that dan you own any suits you're going through the interview process yeah i'm getting fitted suits you suited and booted nice it's it's a nice change of pace i want you to i want you to check these guys out for me it's indochino you familiar with indochino i believe i am yeah man it's uh made to order suits yeah well it's the world's most exciting made to measure menswear company here's what they do dan Dan.

Starting point is 00:56:44 That might be a little much. Is that aggressive? Did you guys see the Nashville Bachelorette? Yeah. Yeah. You knew we were going to talk about this. I mean, what a weekend. So this is one of my favorite stories.
Starting point is 00:56:57 What a weekend of content. It involves two things that we like. We like football. We also like bachelorette parties, especially Dan and Dylan. The gang's back together and guess what i have a bachelor party in nashville this weekend is that true that's true man have you ever been to nashville i've driven through i've never actually stayed so you know they had the nfl draft there yeah yeah i've known for a while lives were changed ladies yeah i enjoyed your draft analysis via text. Cowboys took DT from UCF.
Starting point is 00:57:27 Tristan Hill. Tristan Hill. Didn't get along with the new staff, but apparently Scott Frost loves him. Pretty upset about that. Obviously, he's my guy. Now he's a Cowboy. I'm an Eagles fan. He was clearly our best player on defense last year,
Starting point is 00:57:42 and you guys got a great player. But he will disagree with a coach or two, and that might be an issue. I got faith in Marinelli. But I don't know. This was making its rounds. I would say it went macro viral. But this Bachelorette, many Bachelorettes actually, who were doing Bachelorette parties in Nashville,
Starting point is 00:58:02 they didn't really do their homework. And if they did, they totally underestimated the power of the draft because they're very upset that they booked it the same weekend as the draft. And basically, a lot of places were shut down. It was hard to get a res. And the fact that you're just having to be in a city that's full of the kind of guys that would pay money and go to an NFL draft. I can't think of a worse crowd to have your bachelorette or bachelor party around than NFL fans
Starting point is 00:58:29 because they might be the trashiest fans in sports. I would argue maybe the only trashier environment you could go to is maybe an ICP concert with a bunch of juggalos. Are they the juggalos of sport? You got to think. People want to say, like, oh oh it's their fault for booking their bachelorette party on this weekend but to in their defense like you don't think about nfl draft being in a city that you're trying to travel in nashville taking over the city yeah so i'm not i'm not gonna let y'all have that one you know what i mean i forgot that it was in nashville like so you just
Starting point is 00:59:02 don't you just don't foresee something like like. Is Nashville the kind of city, we'll compare it to Austin, because when you're doing any kind of event, wedding or anything in Austin, you definitely need to check and see what's that weekend because there's always something going on here, whether it's the, what's the, is it Rott Rally? Is that the biker one? Texas Relays, Formula One. There's big shit going down there,
Starting point is 00:59:24 or just if it's in the fall football games right even south by south by acl like that's all going to change the dynamic in some fashion is nashville that town right now where shit goes down like this well it's one of the live music capitals of the world right that austin is a live music capital of the world i said one of them he said one of well you can only have one so the country music capital of the world yeah terrible terrible country music capital of the world? Yeah. The terrible, terrible country music capital of the world. Yeah, terrible pop country music capital of the world is, I think, the official title. Okay.
Starting point is 00:59:50 I buy that. But I think the story in general is just kind of like a local news reporter or anchor's dream, right? Absolutely. Did they interview all these girls who were just freaking out about sports in the NFL draft? I like the one that they interviewed who said that to punish, I guess her,
Starting point is 01:00:08 her husband, her future husband, he's not going to get to watch football. That's on him, right? Totally his fault that the NFL decided to have the draft the same weekend as your bachelorette party. Do you think he'll be real bummed out about that?
Starting point is 01:00:20 That he has to find his own way to watch the game. Something tells me he's going to watch football. Just like he's going to tear him up. He's going to probably go meet up with the squad in a man cave or Wild Wings or something. Right? He's going to be like, all right, well, I'm getting out of here.
Starting point is 01:00:33 He's going to be just fine. I saw a dude with an ass-eating 69 jersey making the rounds. That's basically, in a nutshell, what you're... Yeah. Okay. That's not even the worst jersey I saw. Ass-eating season, 69.
Starting point is 01:00:48 Which is me. Man, it was impressive seeing the amount of people that stayed for all the rounds, like round one, round two, round three. Like each day there was massive crowds. Imagine going to the draft for like – Have you ever thought about it? Because I have to say you're the most likely to go to a draft. That's fair because i
Starting point is 01:01:05 love college football and you're from philly i just yeah but i guess the eagles play a little part into that but like philadelphia as a whole isn't like a huge like it's not like a big college town like we support big five basketball the the power or not they're not like great schools but like they're historically the five teams in philly that are big basketball programs but like we're not i guess like if you live in philadelphia you might be a penn state guy but there's not like a huge amount of college football traditions in philadelphia but i myself am a huge college football fan and i just like to see where some of these guys end up so i'll like i don't watch the entire draft but i I'll catch bits and pieces. But imagine actually going to the draft.
Starting point is 01:01:45 You're there day three. I'm not even sure you can drink. I want to know if you can drink. Is there open containers in Nashville? There's no way to know. They don't open up the books and let you see the statutes. That's true. Dylan's going to find out on the Friday.
Starting point is 01:01:59 I'll report back on Friday. Is Nashville a bachelor party destination? I mean, obviously, you're going to one, but is that like a thing? I know bachelorettes. Yeah, I don't know. Because, you know, women be listening to country music. Oh, yeah. Yeah, well, girls, they like to bounce around the bars and wear their sashes and take shots and stuff.
Starting point is 01:02:18 Little Daisy Duke shorts. Guys like to mix it up and throw golf in the mix. Do Vegas, of course. So cities like Austin and Nashville are set up better for a bachelorette than a bachelor, I would think. Fair. I think similar with Austin, too.
Starting point is 01:02:32 We're bringing the sticks, by the way, Dave. That's huge. Where are you playing? I don't know. It's in my itinerary. I don't remember, though. TPC, Cashville? Yeah, that's probably it.
Starting point is 01:02:42 Where'd you guys go for your bachelor parties? NOLA. Vegas, baby. NOLA's good. Pretty much like the 1A, 1B of guys in our demo bachelor parties. That's the last time I went to Vegas, actually. I would like somewhere where I could both gamble and play golf. So, I guess Vegas?
Starting point is 01:03:00 You could do that in New Orleans. You got Harris. Do that in New Orleans. Yeah, New Orleans, you got Harris. What are the golf courses, though? I guess this weekend. They're there, but the thing about Louisiana, very, very hot. Lake Charles.
Starting point is 01:03:10 Lake Charles. Lake Charles. There you go. Lake Charles. Definitely not Tampa. Definitely not Tampa. Go to the Hard Rock. You ever eaten at a Hard Rock cafe?
Starting point is 01:03:22 Yeah, unfortunately, when I was a child. I used to always want to go there or Planet unfortunately when i was a child that used to i used to always want to go there or planet hollywood when i was like because i was a total dipshit because i was 10 you know everybody who's 10 is a total dipshit of course so i used to think that i was like the pinnacle of fine dining like we're going to planet hollywood well you're a kid gonna see gonna see you some uh some terminator mannequins posters poster like posters for fucking days i love a good poster don't you got any posters you want to talk about no not currently i had a bunch when i was a kid you need to do some bits in nashville you need i don't know you need to do some bits i don't know
Starting point is 01:03:57 should i go live you should definitely go live i i really want you to to like go on a hunt for john party oh yeah like that needs to be your quest is to just to stumble like cross paths I really want you to go on a hunt for John Party. Oh, yeah. That needs to be your quest is to just stumble, cross paths with John Party. You know he's lurking around there somewhere. Yeah, he's probably playing a dive bar, right? He seems like that kind of guy. Is that the heartache on the dance floor guy? Correct.
Starting point is 01:04:16 Okay. Yeah. Yeah. What else is there to do in Nashville besides drink? I don't know. That's enough. I don't know a whole lot about Nashville. Obviously, the music is a big part of it.
Starting point is 01:04:33 What are they known for food-wise? Are they a barbecue place? Yeah, that's a thing. No, Memphis is. I think it's like Southern home cooking type vibe there. I could be completely wrong. I think they'll let anybody who has a pulse design Tennessee Titans uniforms. And they might actually use them because they are continuously.
Starting point is 01:04:52 They're trash. They're the most trash in the NFL. Yeah. Man, is this the year Tannehill takes over? That's what people are asking. Is he there now? Yeah, they traded for him. Oh, God.
Starting point is 01:05:02 Him and Mariota. Battling it out. Still a Mariota guy. Are you? The Preds, Mavs. Is that series over? Stars. Yeah, Preds got it.
Starting point is 01:05:13 Preds got cut. That'll be tight if they play. Stars, Preds. Preds are fucking out. That's why Dirk retired. He just snapped his leg. Oh, yeah. So y'all took the Preds down.
Starting point is 01:05:19 We took them down. Now we're 1-1 against the St. Louis Blues. That's right. That's right. We play again tonight. Game three in Dallas. If anybody hears this before 2 p.m. Central time and you have a free ticket
Starting point is 01:05:31 and you are willing to put me up and pay for my transportation and it's a dope ticket, lower bowl only, hit me up. I'll come up and go to the game with you. I'm currently wearing a pretty awesome Tyler Sagan shirt. This shirt's been getting a lot of play. It's my official playoff shirt.
Starting point is 01:05:45 Shout out to Red Peg Tees. Of course, it's in the Sega font. Yeah, because his last name's Sagan. Not to be confused with Sagan. I get it. Just a lot of people make that mistake. Me too. He's a great player.
Starting point is 01:05:57 With the 64-bit graphic right there. He's a great player. This shirt's a cool shirt. It is a cool shirt. I'd wear it. I get a lot of compliments. He seems like the type of guy I want to hang out with in Dallas. I have good sources who say he is actually a cool shirt. It is a cool shirt. I'd wear it. I get a lot of compliments. He seems like the type of guy I want to hang out with in Dallas. I have good sources who say he is actually a cool dude.
Starting point is 01:06:10 But not so you want to be in his crew. Dave has well-placed sources. I've got a guy. Yeah, no. He seems like the kind of guy where he doesn't go. He has a few drinks, but he's got his head on his shoulders. But dudes in his crew crew they're the wild guards like they're the dudes that are pouring out bottles probably getting into some of the
Starting point is 01:06:29 white stuff if you know what i mean was there yeah was there time drinking a lot of giants milk was there a time when him and uh tyson chandler were in the same city or not yeah no no no i'm sorry chandler parsons oh chandler parsons yeah actually i think so i don't know why i think maybe his first or second year in dallas okay yeah that that they probably hung out i was wondering where the tyson chandler yeah no chandler parsons tyler sagan and probably jamie ben jamie ben anybody on the cowboys uh well you know zeke and dac have become like de facto clutch guys stars fans So they've been going. Clutch, that's the only real ones who understand that reference.
Starting point is 01:07:11 That's where Zeke knocked out that DJ, right? Yes. Shout out to him. Was he a DJ? Yeah, probably. They've been going to all the Stars games, and they're getting into it. They show them in the locker room. I know a lot of that's probably forced, but they seem to be having a good time. Dak's wearing his custom Dak sweater, which I like. Zeke's just wiling out he's doing the feed me he zeke's down for bits
Starting point is 01:07:30 zeke gets a lot of shit and i get some of it's uh his own doing allegedly we don't really know but he seems like he's turned a corner seems like he's got his head on his shoulders now i'm hoping i don't know He's about to get fucking paid. I'm just hoping you guys pay Dak. Oh, we will. Don't worry. We will. Man, talking sports.
Starting point is 01:07:53 So I was asking you guys, have you been going back and forth with your dad during the draft? Because my dad keeps hitting me up like, how's this guy? How's this guy? And then no matter what I say,'s like uh yeah jj our sega white side huge like red zone target like he's a fucking monster he might be like our next alshon jeffrey and my dad's just like nah pac-12 player don't trust him i love that bust what's your dad's name dan his name is also dan i'm not a junior though he's a different middle name interesting dan he's daniel earl okay well just for comedy purposes we'll call him mr hammer senior mr hammer I'm not a junior, though. He's a different middle name. Interesting. He's Daniel Earl.
Starting point is 01:08:28 Okay, well, just for comedy purposes, we'll call him Mr. Hammer Senior. Mr. Hammer. Mr. Hammer. No, my dad, actually, I've got a missed call from him. I'm sure he wants to talk stars, Cowboys draft, and Thrones. My dad's in a Game of Thrones. What's your dad's best sports take right now? Oh.
Starting point is 01:08:49 I can give you his most generic. I think he doesn't know what the Rangers are doing right now. Which I get. That's such a dad take. Yeah, he's just... I don't know what they're doing right now. Maybe he'll throw in like they need to get some pitching.
Starting point is 01:09:04 It's like the Fuego takes. Burning my cell phone as I'm hearing them. they're doing right now. Maybe he'll throw in like they need to get some pitching. Like that. And it's like the Fuego takes. Burning my cell phone as I'm hearing him. That's awesome. Yeah. Shout out to all the dads out there.
Starting point is 01:09:13 Dylan. My dad's just starting to watch the Sixers now because he's just like every dad. He decided once they made the second round like he can finally hop on.
Starting point is 01:09:21 He can finally hop on and he's just throwing out takes. Wild takes that he hasn't nothing to back hop on. He's just throwing out takes, wild takes. Nothing to back it up. He's just like, yeah, Ben Simmons, he's a bust. He can't play. Well, dads love the eye test.
Starting point is 01:09:37 Most dads aren't getting too deep into the numbers, into the analytics game. No, they're not analytics guys. It's the eye test. It just doesn't look like it. Plus, minus, all that shit. They don't want to hear it. No. I get it. He's talking trash about Embiid.
Starting point is 01:09:49 I'm like, what are you doing, Dad? Just like, some guys, it's just, you can't, you're stuck with them. Like, you can't trash Embiid. No. Like, you got to just, you got to just. That's our future. Bite the bullet. Even if he does, you know, make some bad plays every now and then.
Starting point is 01:10:03 It's just like. I think Simmons and Embiid are playing fine. It's just just it's a bad matchup cool i mean kawaii's a robot yeah you see that little smile he he cracked off during game one he's not a human he's on another it was like that very mild uh smile emoji where it's just like very very subtle it was like the most emotion i've ever seen out of Kawhi. Dylan, maybe you can answer this or just opine on the matter, but I feel like the Spurs should have kept Kawhi. What happened there?
Starting point is 01:10:33 He didn't want to play for the Spurs. I know. I almost tweeted that, but I didn't. Yeah, he's a pretty good ball player. I didn't want to poke that bear because I've got friends from San Antonio. He might not even want to play for the Raptors. I think he's gone. He's probably going to L.A., right? Oh, he gone.
Starting point is 01:10:43 Yeah. Which L.A. team, though? Clippers. Or Golden State. I think he's gone. He's probably going to LA, right? Oh, he gone. Yeah. Which LA team though? Clippers. Or Golden State. They're going to trade. They let Klay. No, they don't re-sign Klay. Get rid of Durant.
Starting point is 01:10:52 Durant's gone, but you got Steph, you got Draymond, and you got Kawhi. Wow. What an episode of backdoor cover we got going on.
Starting point is 01:11:00 People are going to love it. They're going to hate it. This is the most polarizing episode of Circling Back we've done. That's people people are gonna love it they're gonna hate it this is the most polarizing episode of circling back we've done that's what people are saying yeah we've gone it's just gone long what uh anything else doing that what's up with that you you tweeted me something that i asked you to do i just i gave you a little homework last week i said hey please spend a minute on this give us a photo of that emu man you're always talking about this emu at your ranch i'd love a good emu pic i love emus we are big bird pod what you what you tweet like an avenger stance what well okay
Starting point is 01:11:31 okay here's what happened it looked like you took it with a one megapixel phone because like the the the bird is like blending in with everything in the background that was with my with my iphone 10 can you go back to the store and get like two more megapixels he's wearing camouflage so uh i guess so we we drive out to this field where the emu usually hangs out and he was there what's your ranch vehicle kubota are you taking like an old truck it's a it's a i believe it's a kubota it's a uh it's a mule okay you know it's a it's a four-wheel four-wheel drive little utility vehicle. Super dope. Love it. Yeah, it's got two rows of seats.
Starting point is 01:12:09 Yeah, so we went out there, and I was with Kendall, who's my brother-in-law. Shout out to you, Kendall. And also my mom. The homie was riding, riding dirty, of course. And my stepdad, Blake. And I said, I'm going to get a picture. I said, just start snapping. I don't know how close
Starting point is 01:12:26 I can get to this thing. Just start snapping. I did, I walked up to it a little as close as I could and it just walks away. Of course, I wanted to be in the picture, Dave,
Starting point is 01:12:35 because I'm really vain, of course. And so, he just started taking pictures and I turned, I turned and faced the camera through the deuce a couple times. You don't ever turn your back
Starting point is 01:12:43 on an emo. Those pictures didn't turn out so great. That's's dangerous so the one that i chose was that one i wasn't even trying i wasn't even posing for the picture i was just trying to make my move to get close to it well just looking like captain america staring down yeah i was like first of all i was like yeah there's a reason you couldn't get close to it because you're like fucking squaring up with the damn thing yeah he didn't want he didn't want the smoke and that's a sketchy bird man yeah they're unpredictable they'll come at you it's not something i would want to do battle with i feel like i could take the emu but i'm gonna take some pretty bad damage and if it gets you in a vital shot like a vital you know
Starting point is 01:13:16 any of the stomach spots maybe in the throat like it's over i don't want to fuck with any bird really any bigger bird they're unpredictable right They also have talons on their feet, right? And they have friends. They do have friends. So does that emu just wander on its own? It hangs out with the horses. They're all real tight. Are they penned in?
Starting point is 01:13:38 Or is it just... No, they have free reign of a pretty large field. There's also a video that I decided not to share with everyone of the emu humping one of our horses who was laying down. I decided to keep that one in the holster. Some cross-species pollination? Yeah, he was just going to town on one of our horses. The term, Dave.
Starting point is 01:14:03 Why didn't you send this to the group text? I don't know, Dave. It's disturbing imagery. It's disturbing, but I feel like I need to see it to fully appreciate the nature. Would you rather watch that video on loop or the Robert Kraft video? Probably the emu.
Starting point is 01:14:20 Yeah, I'd rather watch the emu. I don't want to see an old man get jerked off. Okay. But an emu forcing himself upon a horse. For whatever reason, I think if I watch that video, Robert Kraft is just going to crack down and sue me. Yeah. There's probably something to that.
Starting point is 01:14:34 Wait, so does this emu, so he's boys with all the horses. Yeah, they're boys. What does a horse do when he is mounted by an emu? Does he just kind of like, dude, get off? Or is he kicking? Because you know the horse kick is dangerous. Or he submits. Potentially deadly.
Starting point is 01:14:49 Or he submits. He was just laying there. Just like, what's going on back behind me? Oh, it's this enormous bird. What's the emu's name? Big Bird? Big Bird. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:59 I didn't actually see it happen. I just have a video of it that my stepdad sent me. Hey, all the backers out there i know the cat's name i learned it over the last few days i know dylan's cat's name and i'm not going to spoil it but i know it thank you dave and all of you saying that i did i'm going back on my word that's not true dave and will suggested 3k and 4k that i released the name i didn't agree to that i i holder of the name said 5k so there all right i'm just gonna tell you guys what the name is you ready no you're not it's fart man that's not true it's not it's it's something way sweeter which i don't know
Starting point is 01:15:42 why you're holding it in it's Fartman would be a really bad superhero. Remember when Howard Stern showed up at the VMAs as his character Fartman? And it was just one of the worst bits of all time. This is in like 95. Dan, you might not have been born. Like who's his nemesis? Like Lord Lactose?
Starting point is 01:15:59 Breast milk guy or giant's milk guy? Lord Lactose. That's pretty good good and on brand for you yeah it is crohn's disease man the real killer do you have any charities you want to shout out for crohn's no i don't like charity okay wait what you have anybody you want to shout you want to plug anything before we get out of here yeah just be on the lookout for that podcast. And I guess just follow me on Twitter if you want. Where can they follow you on Twitter? At Dan underscore Regester. R-E-G-E-S-T-E-R.
Starting point is 01:16:32 And then Dan Regester on Instagram. I've kind of stepped back from the social media game. I haven't been posting as much. You need to post more tweets. You post good tweets, and I feel like you're gun-shy. A little bit, but at the same time, I'm just not on the internet as much. Where are you so gun-shy? but at the same time I'm just not on the internet as much where are you so gun shy even the best
Starting point is 01:16:46 step back from it the best follows on twitter they don't they're batting like 400 and there's nothing wrong with that not everything's gonna be a home run I just don't I think you're always trying to go micro
Starting point is 01:16:57 sometimes just knock a single out there I get that just get the bat on the ball yeah squeak it through exactly you gotta take hacks to put the ball in front
Starting point is 01:17:03 for sure I'm not I've been trying to get away from like the live tweeting stuff because like because everyone's doing it no not because everyone's doing it people who live tweet game of thrones are on i i just don't you're insane yeah if i'm gonna get a like a thrones tweet off i want it to kind of be evergreen and i want it i just don't want it to be like an in the moment tweet that you only get if you watch it but you'll get those one hour you'll get those in-the-moment bloods flowing RTs. And nobody really puts thought into it.
Starting point is 01:17:28 I'd rather put a little thought into the joke and just kind of like, all right, there it is. Because they're overthinking it. They know it's their best time to get momentum on a tweet. You can throw a generic gif or yif or gif, and just with like, oh my God, me right now, and then toss that out there, and people are like, oh, yeah. Yeah, I don't want to
Starting point is 01:17:45 do that i i too just saw the night king die rt yeah you don't want to be that i get that you're you you respect the craft but you know you need to sell out a little bit yeah but at the same time i also don't want to put out like trash content if i'm employers are looking at my twitter and they're just like well dan this is what this guy's bringing. You got bigger things to worry about than the Twitter. That's true. I, uh, there's,
