All right, we're back circling back podcast coming to you live Austin, Texas watch media headquarters. My name is will defreeze to my left David rough it's actually Chadwick I'm Chadwick right I wanted to be Chad. I don't know who's Chadwick. What's the other one like? There's will I'm gonna take well you want to be well you can take well. can you do the ad reads today? I can barely fucking function Ray's gonna pull it up in a McClellan New York state of mind right here this one. I'll be drew McClellan drew McClellan You're trying me on then go ahead

Hey, man, I'm drew McClellan. Okay. That's all I got. I don't know. He's known for his dynamic energy and relatable anecdotes. Hey guys. He brings a lively vibe to the discussions. Yeah. What are we talking about? Someone asked, I think, someone, chat, chat BGP. Chat BGP what? Chat BBC? Hey, New York was fun Uh chat GPT to rank the circling back hosts and uh they only got one host correct which was Will DeFries. That's pretty big for you. Right number one

though. Thank you for having me. You got. Yeah. I'm glad I beat the uh the people who don't exist. That that feels good. Yes. What is uh what do you call that like? I mean like SEO but when AI like you've got good AI favorability. I don't know. AI likes Will. You're optimized for AI.

Before I even worked, before I even worked at Grand X or anything, I created a website that was just willdefreeze.com, and I put my personal info on it, just so that if someone Googled me, they would at least maybe see that first and not see something weird, see a bunch of Facebook albums

that have 60 photos of them, in them of me just getting hammered. I was like, no, I need to, I need to lean into this SEO thing. I think it worked. I got hired somewhere. So why do you think it's stuff like that? Because I think it's anxiety. I think it's overthinking things like that. You've been leveraging AI tools.

I don't, I don't leverage AI as much as some people in this office. It's a good point. I do ask good questions sometimes, but I've learned you have to trust, trust, but verify. Oh yeah. Yeah. Chadwick.

Definitely need to verify. I made someone do about, I don't know, eight hours worth of work based on something I looked up on Chad GPT, and that really made me realize like, oh yeah, probably shouldn't do that anymore. No. It was wrong. It was wrong. Yeah. Yeah. Dylan shivery. Man had an elite sleep last night. I'm talking like top tier, top, top 50 sleeps of my life last night. I fell asleep before 10 o'clock for me. That does not happen more than 30 minutes slept through the entire night. Got up, take the little man to school. It was a great night of sleep. I'm ready going to be able to sleep until 10 o'clock for me. That does not happen. More than 30 minutes. Slept through the entire night. Got up, took the

little man to school. It was a great night of sleep. I'm ready to go despite a really exhausting but awesome weekend in New York City. You didn't stay up for the end of the cowboy game? I couldn't. I wanted to. Damn it. I couldn't.

We have a sports show we have to do in hours. Dave, my body was like player. You can't. I can fill them in on what happened. I mean, they didn't win. They lost. I caught up on that part. Yeah. Yeah. I missed an 8 46 PM text from Dave Ruff because your boy was snoozing. Yeah. Shots in New York though. I know they say it's a city that never sleeps. Apparently you just have to catch up on when you get home. That's right. apparently you just have to catch up on when you get home. That's right. I can verify that it does not sleep based on the activity around the hotel.

More on that later. Dude, yeah, we had conversations about that too. I got a DM from a backer yesterday and it just said, "'Hey dude, did you see any sick fire trucks in New York?' I was like, why is that the question you're asking me? What? But yes, I did. It was kind of cool.

When Barrett and I did the Nordstrom event in New York, the room that they put us in to get ready for the event overlooked a fire station. And so we got to see like how they were going in and out and it was actually really cool. I was pretty mesmerized by it. I wish my son could have been there because you know he loves himself a fire truck.

You should come by. I got two firehouse subs. Two. One over on Broadway. The other over on Bleaker Street. Two of them. Look at Dave. Dave just knows the streets. Yeah. I'm from there. Where was that fucker from? Chicago. That's right. Every old dude in Vegas I've learned is from Chicago.

They all have Chicago accents. Randy, I could see Randy moving to Vegas in his old age. I don't know about that. It's got the climate for you. Yeah, I guess it's okay, but I don't wanna go there, bud. You might dabble in street magic. I did a card trick at the bar at the meetup. We'll get into it.

Actually not really, but yeah. What a tease. You're not gonna huddle us around for the card trick? I didn't see this card trick. It was spur of the moment. Who had a deck of cards? Grace, who was also at the Chicago meetup. Shout out to Grace.

Yeah, she brought a deck of cards. Yeah, she was doing her own tricks and her own jokes. Something about me when I'm buzzed up on some Guinness, I will watch some card tricks if offered. How do they do that? My dream is just having David Blaine walk into a place and just start doing street magic to everybody. That's everyone's dream.

It would just be the sickest. Yeah, or at least it should be. I don't really want them to walk into the place I'm at. I want to go out on the street and do it. So just walk in. What if he levitates into the place? You wanna see a card appear on the window just sitting there?

I don't even care if he levitates. I just want the card tricks, dude. I want him to eat a card and then spit it out into his hand. Yeah, but if he did levitate, they'd add a little something, you have to admit. That's a frog, actually. I think my Vine had been deleted so it's no longer on Twitter.

It was one of those tweets where somebody would like it like years later and I'm like, oh, I forgot that I had a tweet about him having frogs coming out of his mouth in front of Drake and Steph Curry. Oh yeah. An all time video. It's incredible.

They couldn't figure it out. I thought Vine was coming back. Nah. Oh yeah, what happened to that? Yeah, Vine too. TikTok was like, nah, we got this now, player. You just hit this one. Yeah, can we just acquire you? China. We'll acquire you right now for way too much money just to make sure. Vine in hindsight is too short. Was it eight seconds? Six. Six. Six seconds. I'm impressed with the people that could do it. But that's what advertisers want these days six second videos. Brain rot. It's affected millions. Skivity toilet, David. There you go.

Huck to a spit on that thing. You know, we got a lot to talk about in New York. So I think we dive right in. Let's dive. Before we do tomorrow, spooky season finale will all be dressed up. It's going to be an absolute movie, a pellicula for those of you who watch pelliculas. Listen to voicemails on Thursday, 888-618-4422. Get in, get out, be tactical.

As always, go subscribe on both Substack, washedoutsub sub stack.com for weekly newsletter. And if you want to watch these videos instead of listening to us, it's much more reliable on YouTube these days anyway. Shout out to a megaphone, our host site that stinks baby. They're on a wellness week over at Spotify. So it's probably going to be an all time rough week uploading stuff. So go subscribe on youtube.com slash circling back. Randy's always got that right, right on time. Oh, yeah Well, let's get into it bro. Let's go out this weekend. There's a crazy event happening. I like to turn off Recapping New York in fun presented by our friends over at Early Bird CBD.

If you're not familiar with Early Bird, welcome new listener. Early Bird gummies are a recreational hemp product that contain around two and a half milligrams of natural THC and around 12 and a half milligrams of CBD in each gummy. These are formulated for fun and to make you feel good. I don't care if you're sitting there and you're like, I don't want to get high. I'm not saying you do. You might just want a cool buzz before you get in bed. You might want to have a little cool buzz before you're heading out on the town. I took exactly one early bird right before the

flight back home from New York. I get a little post-trip anxiety right before the flight. Don't like it. It's happened to me many times in the past, but early bird has really helped the situation. Just melted into my seat when I sat down on my plane. I would have, had someone had been on the plane and been selling one single Early Bird CBD yesterday, I would have paid a disgusting amount for one of them. I should have come strapped at that. I am approached from time to time about my Early Bird t-shirt. It's my favorite shirt.

Guy at the gym asked me the other day, he's like, you work for them? I see you working out in that shirt a lot. I was like, no, no, but they're like, long story. We've worked with them forever. Day one sponsors, blah, blah, blah. He's like, I love the product. I was like, dude, it's a great product. Those who love it, always rebuy. Please go get you some.

Dylan, did you have fun in New York City? I had a great time. Expectations were high and they were exceeded. Just loved every second of it. I don't just not make this about me. Let's get everyone involved in the conversation. Obviously, we all had pretty much the same weekend. No, I mean, I only saw Randy and Brett at the meetup.

It's true. And I'll have like a minute. I know. I was like, I barely spoke to Brett on this trip. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, let's see. Friday kicked off the whole situation

by just walking the streets a little bit. We stayed in Murray Hill. And we had it out. Chus and I hit the gym saloon two nights. First night, we went to the gym. think you're gonna say the gym. I was like what the just Randy did that. Yeah, we saw that pic. Cool. Randy went Randy went like that was a nitro P flare. Yeah, that's bull. That wasn't a P flare. Really? Your

vacation workout where you're looking absolutely diced up. He has the guns out. It's just a standard thirst trap. The P flare was me jumping on the thing. That's, hey, I'm in Chicago, I'm in New York. That's a different, yes, completely different things, guys. Going on vacation and like on a fun trip and then just letting people know that you're still in the gym.

Come on, man. This is a thirst trap. Yeah, last time I saw someone do that, it was Hannah G from an exercise bike. Randy and Hannah G. You would like that match made in heaven. Randy, you should have done one from the exercise bike. Randy and Hannah G. You would like that match made in heaven. Randy, you should have done one from the Bruno bike. Yeah, weren't you bummed that the city bikes

weren't Bruno coated? Yeah, I was Bruno coated. The city of New York will never cease to just overwhelm me. It's just so much city. It's just so, the streets are so chaotic at all times. How do these people put up with it at all times? I don't know. It was funny because the first night we stayed there,

between the hours of like four and six a.m., we were woken up several times by an ambulance, people shouting on the street. Honking is like a form of communication, I think, between the cars on the street. The honking is crazy. And so it, I think, between the cars on the street. The honking is crazy. And so it was just a great New York experience just being woken up just by the street noise.

Which was really fun. You were saying you were amazed by all the big honkers in New York. The big honkers, that's right. What a wonderful city. I couldn't live there. No. But visiting is a lot of fun.

There was a period in my life where every time I visited New York, which was not very many times, but like in my late 20s, early 30s, I'd like tell Sally like, we got to live there at some point. We have to. It's so awesome. I love it. And like this trip, the second we touched down, I was like, yeah, I think having two kids has changed my grind mentality when it comes to living places. And I don't think I could handle it. I'm not built for it. It doesn't make sense for two kids. I mean, I think if you live in New York

and you're a New Yorker and you have two kids, it's different, but like the idea of like you or me moving there with two like young kids just like, nah. Must be interesting growing up in that city. Just a totally different experience than what I'm used to. Oh yeah. Yeah, the highlight was probably Central Park, well, aside from the meetup.

The Central Park was great. Weather was flawless. It was 60s and sunny and just perfect. The leaves were changing. The walk in Central Park was worth the trip on its own. Did you find us in Central Park or did we stumble upon you in Central Park? We found you in Central Park.

So Will and I track each other's locations. So I knew that you were in Central Park and I was just, all right, they're coming down from like the big reservoir area. And we were walking up and I knew we were gonna cross paths and you guys kind of deviated from the path you're on. It's like, oh shit, they're going this way. So we started walking that way

and then Chelsea spotted you guys and we shouted you guys. Cause we immediately, Sal and I showed up to Central Park immediately saw Dave and Alyssa without being like, hey, we're here. I figured we're all right together. No, and so that was weird. And then immediately saw Dave and Alyssa Without being like hey, we're here right together No and so and so that was weird and then I saw you and I was like see this is another situation where I feel like I'm in a simulation and They're just making it easy on me because they know that I'm not gonna be able to figure out where to find anybody

I tracked your ass down. Thank you That was you were like the first two people that we made eye contact with weird and after last week at the Georgia game seen Like my my entire like every in-law that I after last week at the Georgia game, seeing like my, my entire, like every in-law that I've ever had at the game, the second we arrived, I was just like, what is the world doing? Your player one. Dude. I wanted to get a coffee and walk the park and that's exactly what I did.

And it was perfect. I didn't drink enough coffee in New York, except for day one. When I sat next to Joe Montana. Oh, the celeb spotting was on fire this week. I thought you said Joe Montaigne. Don't want that. I Mean yeah, what else I mean get excellent bagels on Saturday morning I had zero bagels me too zero pieces of pizza. Oh, how does that happen? Because well, okay. So here's I think here's how it happened. I am NOT a big breakfast eater in general and

We kind of just had lunch plans most of the time or lunch ambitions. So it wasn't something I was seeking out even though now it sounds fucking awesome and I'm kicking myself for not doing it. On the pizza front, I just didn't prioritize pizza as much as I should have, you know? And then on the last night after the meetup,

we went to a restaurant, we ordered a bunch of appetizers because we were starving. And then we the last night after the meetup, we went to a restaurant, we ordered a bunch of appetizers because we were starving, and then we ordered a pizza, and the guy brought us our check before we had gotten the pizza, and everyone at the table besides me agreed, I'm pretty good, I'm full,

we already ate, blah, blah, blah. And suddenly I went pizza-less, played zero cards. I have a comment on the bagels. So we went to a place that apparently is very well, you know, thought of. It's Bagel and Schmier. I recommended it and reviews were great. I went there last time we were there. Okay, I'm gonna... and it was a really good bagel. I don't taste the New York difference though.

Hmm. The bagels across the way, if a blind taste test, I'm not sure I can tell you which is which. No, but that food truck, they actually built a pipeline all the way from New York to Austin, and they get the water fresh from New York every single time you have one. I don't know if I'm fully on Dylan's side here, but I was way more impressed with the schmear

than the bagel is kind of what I'm feeling. Like, I wasn't blown away by the bagel, but the schmear was really good. You have balls for saying where you went because now you're just going to get a bunch of DMs being like, well, you shouldn't have gone there. That's not the place to go to. You should have gone to this place.

It's where Brett also went. The line was down the street. Brett recommended it and three other backers of my DMs recommended bagels and schmear. And it was very popular. This isn't me saying it wasn't good because it was very good. I just, I wanted to like, oh, that's a New York bagel. And I didn't have that experience. You know what I mean?

I did get it. Not like your pizza experience when you went to Italy for the first time and you were like, oh, I get this. I get why people ride now. And it changed my life forever. Yeah. It wasn't like that. I got the garlic and salt bagel is one of my two. I don't get that. The whole bottom is just all salt. And I did not. You have a problem with salty food. It was, it was like, no, you got to be careful with pretzel. Salt bagels in general.

They'll. Times. They'll over salt. Over salt. But it was still good. I really enjoyed it. Saturday took a couple subways over to the meat packing district,

I believe it's called, and met Dave and Brett for a beer and watched one half of college football. That was a cool area. Kind of wish I'd spent more time. It was very different vibe over there. Yeah, not as not as congested. I like to see what the.

So that demographic, it was probably the mid 20s to mid 30s, like hangout area or at least the bar we were at. And I like seeing that because I'm like, what is the post grad scene in a bar? Even though I'm 40, I'm interested. And now that was the bar we were at. And I like seeing that, because I'm like, what is the post-grad scene in a bar, even though I'm 40, I'm interested. And that was it. You're the post-grad problems guy. And I was recognized as, so they're like, D-Man. Are you the guy that retired from raging?

Dude, I still read that shit, bro. Dude, he retired from raging. I did. We had dinner in Little Italy on Friday night. How tiny was it? It was pretty small. It's funny. You walk, if you walk down the main street there, we're all, you know, it's like a, this restaurant after restaurant and the guys are out on the streets. They're holding menus and they, they just recruit you. Like we have the, you know, the best, you know,

it's house made pasta. And it's like, they all do that and it's just it's funny And they all have they all pull up their phone and they show pictures of the food on their phone All of them do the same thing. It's really funny. I respect that So we talked to every single one of them before you said you get strong not the restaurant But like what you what food did you get? I got chicken parm I knew you're gonna say chicken parm dog because they said it they it was I get it It was recommended to I. And it was good. I think had I eaten at a pure Italian restaurant,

I would have gone chicken parm. Chicken cheeky parm probably suits. Chels got lobster ravioli, which was also really good. Damn. Yeah. Market price or not? No, no. Good.

Just standard price. I get scared when I see market price on menus now. I'm like, I'm not even gonna risk that. Yeah. Not worth it. Figured the subway system out. I was proud of myself on that one. We can't be guys who are scared of the subway. That's just not a good look for us.

I heard you were scared of public transportation. I'm not scared of public transportation. Went the wrong direction exactly one time, but it got off on the next stop and then we corrected it and from then on out, we were good to go. I felt good about myself because I had two different people ask me questions about the subway being like, hey, does this go to blah, blah, blah? And I'm like, dude, I'm not from here.

But I was like, thank you for thinking I might be. And then the meetup. Who's your meetup MVP? Ooh. That's tough. I mean, in-house, I'm going to say Randy just because of the fit. He did Doug Demedale. I's tough. I mean, in-house, I'm gonna say Randy just because of the fit. He did Doug Demedale. I get that.

And he had people sign his hat, which was a nice touch, I thought. Which I kinda got the idea because like Grace brought the Wilmonds poster and everyone signed it, we have it here. So I was like, all right, I'm just gonna bring it. So I put it in my suitcase, I forgot to bring it in today. So we'll have like all the signatures from New York

somewhere in the office too. Sweet, I like that. Gotta give a nod to Carly for bringing the Mattel Ranchos hat that she made. That was a great surprise. Also great selection on the blanks for those hats. Yeah, that's what I told her. These hats actually fit really well.

Yeah, I was pleased when I saw the hat selection. The same blanks we use for out of office hats, by the way. I felt like a dickhead though. The first hat I busted out of the box had like a smudge on it on the brim. And so I was like, I gotta put this back. I'm not taking the shittiest hat of all. She's supposed to mail them to us.

They're sweet. Hopefully she falls through on that. Should we do a charity auction for them? Maybe, maybe. Should we just steal? No, if we steal the design and print them ourselves and we'll get in trouble. Oh, the night before we had a drink at your hotel,

which was a really, really cool spot. That hotel was badass. It was cool. Ran into Starlight from the boys. See, it's one of those celebrity interactions that y'all recognized her because you watched that show and I would have had no clue that this person was anybody. And then I realized after how famous she was.

Her popularity is like peaking right now too because that show is so hot and I guess the last season is upcoming. Should we make a show called The Lutes? By the way. I guess not. I saw this comment on Reddit. Could be done.

At some point, did you sing, start texting The Lutes to the tune of New York, New York? Yeah, last week on the pod. Okay. Cause someone made a reference to that. I was like, that's hilarious. And I guess I just missed it when you did it. That's really funny.

I have done, I think off mic, bring me the Lutes. Okay. When I want to hang with my absolute boys. Start texting the Lutes. Bring me the Lutes. Bring me the Lutes. Lutes is catching on. I really enjoyed everyone we talked to. Yes. It was a great meetup. It was a great meetup. I had a lot of fun in Chicago.

Something about the New York meetup felt great. Like I was more in my bag enjoying myself because the Guinness was flowing. I think the city of Chicago just gives me general anxiety in life just because I used to just black out there and then drive home every weekend and it just sucked. And it just felt good to be at a place that Brett loves.

Friends of the pod who were there, Blakey Locks, Lucas Crimson was there. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Who else? Oh, Alfonso was there? They're all friends to me. Well, same. Same.

It was great. Yeah. At the end of the night after having, I think my seventh Guinness, I decided to just start talking to Alfonso exclusively who designed the logo for circling back and did a bunch of branding for scary. So I was like, you're with me the rest of the time here. I want to, I want to talk to you. I introduced him to Chelsea. I was like, this dude is super talented. Yeah. And he might be my MVP because he showed up three weeks after having a kid, tried to leave numerous times and just ended up staying. And I was like, Oh man, you're built different than me. Could not, could not leave the game.

And to the people like asking like, are you guys hiring Casey Smith? Like we can't confirm. We saw her at the meetup. We cannot confirm. She was very nice. Glad she came through Arlington's own. And during the A&M game too, which was big. Dave and I matched that iconic burger button. We went to J.G. Mellon, a recommendation from a lot of people, and it was extremely, extremely worth it. Dude, I was thinking about that burger all night. I would have crushed one of those last night. Good, huh?

It was a really good burger. The vibe of the place was on point. Dave is an absolute unhinged wild boy. He had two Amstel lights during the meal. Yeah. Most people don't have the guts to have two Amstel lights during the meal. Yeah. Most people don't have one. Most people don't have the guts to have one Amstel. That's a good beer.

I forget about it all the time. I honestly, had we not had something, or y'all, I think we're kind of looking to get out of there. I was about to order another burger. Oh, I would have, I probably could have eaten another burger. Because they were perfectly, they weren't tiny, but they were, when you go to a place,

it's like they're known for their burger, that's recommended, you expect you're gonna leave there like just very full, like, oh, I ate a burger and I felt terrible. It wasn't like that at all. It's a very minimalist burger, which I really like when people don't do too much. So I shout out to that burger. You know it's a good burger

when you got a shower after it. Oh yeah. Cause you just stank like that burger. Well, we, and then we immediately got packed into that subway and we just all stunk like onions. I think it helped though. It created a little space for us. The little space there was, yeah, we found it.

That was, at one point, Will was just like, kept getting further and further back. I had to, dude. I can't be the guy in the subway without something to hold onto if I'm standing up. And I was like, I don't think I can get closer to them and grab on to a rail So I'm just gonna slide to the back of the car here and call it a day There was a point where I was like they could get off this train and I'm just still sitting here for like an hour

Dylan do you need any more time to to give any any shoutouts or anything? I got a thing. I don't think so. I want to say first of all. Saw zero rats in New York City. The czar did his job. So I did not see a single rat. I saw one dead one. You saw a dead rat. It was like roadkill but I was like yeah, you're right. It's the only kind I know. Yes, I will say I slept very poorly in New York City only because of it. There's a reason they give you earplugs in the hotel. And I did not even try to use them because I know me it would bother me they would fall out of my ear. It just

sounded like that there was a recycling trucks and like at all times throughout the night just going around picking up stuff and yeah, the sirens and the Halloween Saturday night, 4 a.m. Sunday morning, just dudes leaving the bars just fucking screaming like they had the time of their lives. I was like, yeah, I get it. Dave, I heard those exact same dudes. They had to have been the same because I was up at 415. My alarm was set for 445 to make the early flight. And when I woke up to them hooting and hollering,

I was like, these people are having the time of their fucking lives, and I'm just gonna stay up at this point. I wonder if white noise machines are big players if you live in New York. See, I think- It has to be. You guys know I live on a relatively busy street, and car headlights pretty much shine into our place

at all times because we don't have blackout curtains. I think I'm a little more used to the noise at this point. I used to have to have like a white noise machine, blackout curtains. Like I even got to the point where I would get annoyed if Sally had her phone brightness up too much, because I'd be like, it needs to be darker in here. Now I'm like, now I'm in New York, you know?

So we get in Thursday, Alyssa and I do dinner at the hotel and we're sitting there at the lounge and Alyssa's like staring at this guy walks through, he's like really handsome guy. She's like, I know that guy from somewhere. And I'm like, okay, whatever. You're just staring at the hot guy. You're just saying that, cause I busted you. He's wearing, but he's wearing like, he's wearing cool New York clothes.

Just really wide leg jeans, cool Nikes, a black jacket with like an English town across the back, whatever. We go to dinner, I see the guy get seated behind us. So I'm kind of eavesdropping. Alyssa's like, oh my god, that's Kristen Cole. That's Fabian Frankel from House of the Dragon. One of the most hated men in the world when that show's on. Like, had to like turn off comments on his Instagram because people just like talk shit to him on there as if he's the character. Come on. And I'm like still not sure and then I'm like oh okay, okay. Listening to him, he's got the English accent, it's definitely him.

He's in New York for Comic-Con or something. Okay. So that was our first sighting and he, I gotta say, not as tall as I thought he'd be. He's like10". Not that that's short. Actors famously not that tall. He just looks taller and leaner on the show. But no one bothered him. Like no one even like, we sat outside on the street in one of the little boxed off things, the street seating. Penalty boxes that they have out there? Penalty boxes, yeah.

No one really even batted an eye, which surprised me I'm like New York, this is a killer sighting That's what we do. This dude is like he's not like it's not like Leonardo DiCaprio, but like for our demographic He's he's up there. So that was cool And in New York everybody somebody all brought something about you could see I love it. You can see anything. I see anything Had a drink ran into you guys for a few minutes. Um, I had a, a digestif and Montenegro. Oh, and then we were in bed. We're like, we got, we should go to bed.

We've got a big weekend and we did. And then yeah, Friday was delightful. Um, a lot of walking, a lot of, uh, being a little bit nervous about the subway because we'd never done it. But once we figured out, I think y'all said just get on the six and go, we're like, okay, got on there. Being able to tap your phone is such an upgrade from having to get a Metro card like you used to have to do.

That was my least favorite part. I was like, I don't know how to load this Metro card because I don't want to put too much money on it. And I also don't want to be the dumb ass who's like putting it through and not being able to. I was just like, now that you can tap your phone, it's like the best. Probably much more expensive to do it that way. But since we're there for just a couple of days, what a big deal. Don't care.

Central Park was so much more than I gave it credit for going in. I didn't, you know, I knew it was going to be nice and it's pretty much your only place to touch grass in town. Yeah. But dude, Central Park's, it's awesome. That's my favorite. It's my favorite like daytime activity in New York, just walking through and was worth it, man. Enjoying. I would do that. I would do that five times a week if I lived in New York City. I feel like you'd have to, right? Absolutely. You'd say you do that and then like you'd live there a month and like not go there more than like once a year.

We did Washington Square. It's like how I thought I was going to eat barbecue every day that I came to in Austin. Yeah, it was a Washington Square. Is that the one? Washington Square Park. Yeah. I'm pissed we missed the Timothy Chalamet Look-A-Like contest there yesterday.

Yeah, I did see we missed that. That was dope. He showed up. That's fun. Great jazz, little jazz trio going hard there. Seemed very cool. I was worried about just walking around New York and one thing I noticed, I had it in my mind that everybody's walking super fast and like, oh, I and it's very Didn't have that experience at all It was not it was not as aggressive as I thought maybe maybe we just where we were But it did not seem like overly aggressive and I was never overwhelmed except for the subway when we were smashed in there

That was it. I I've ridden the subway enough times to know that that was a that was just like a miserable experience It wasn't just us being Austin guys going in the subway It was just like yeah, this sucks We did dinner sat Friday night at Il buco a little Italian spot near the hotel. Do you like it? I did okay. I had a steak and it was it was a skirt steak, which I was like, that's an interesting How do you make one out of a skirt? It makes no sense, right? Fashion capital of the world though true even eat their fashion even fashion week I'm like, I'm not even sure what you're saying. Uh how do you even make one out of a skirt? It makes no sense, right? Fashion capital of the

world though. True. You can even eat their fashion. It's even fashion week. Uh very good and uh we had good service there. After where we met up, uh y'all mentioned it at the uh hotel bar and yeah, that's where we saw Erin

Moriarty. Uh better known as Starlight. I knew Dylan saw somebody. Dylan got like doing kind of rock back and forth. It's like,, that's up I did I don't know I didn't know her name. I didn't either I was like the boys the boys and y'all me Lee's like Oh starlight Yeah, so we kind of contemplated like alright I'm glad you did because I wanted to and I kind of chickened out So I have learned since that she stays there quite a bit when she's in town and like, I'm so weird but she seemed cool and honestly, she, the way she was acting is like, I don't think she's going to

get upset if I if I asked for a pick. So, um he also had me in his ear the entire time being like, do it. She got a gram off while she was sitting there. From the exit that obviously showed she was at that hotel. Yes. So, I think she, I think

she's one of the and there's nothing wrong with this. I think she doesn't mind the attention. Well, she hasn't been super famous for that long. So, she might, she might still enjoy it at this point. Did she take a photo of y'all with her phone that you had to retrieve later? No.

Okay. No. That's good. I would highly recommend not doing that. I walked over there and Alyssa and Sally were in full view and Will was right there and I just was like, I'm doing it. And as soon as I got up, the peanut gallery, the store, oh no. No, I-

I'm like, okay. I immediately- You were in. I can't watch those situations very much because I'm scared that something's gonna go south. I get it. And so I just simply repositioned, had my back to them and watched the reaction of Alyssa and Sally the entire time. Which I gotta say, I went over and I said,

and they both looked, they both smiled at me, you know, I probably thought I was asking for a number or something, but no, I wasn't doing that. I was just like, I know I was like, this is lame, but we're big fans, can I get a pick? And she's like, yeah, of course. I was like, do you mind if I sit down? She's like, yeah.

So I sat down. That's a good, yeah. I didn't wanna like do the stand. Like disarming. It was also one of those scenarios where like there wasn't a good way to get a pick if it wasn't a selfie. And I didn't want her to stand up. Yeah, then it brings attention and and I also wasn't gonna put my arm around her.

I you know, don't don't touch the talent is what I've always sure. And yeah, I got a pick and I was just like y'all are the best. I was like, thank y'all so much. I shoot her friend. I didn't recognize. I think it was like her hairdresser based on some some link or Instagram creep And I did okay. I want to see what does she reshared it like that. I'm in a terrible move, but yeah she was very nice and I walked back over and That was that Got a photo and then our only other select. Well, y'all saw somebody we were walking in the meetup Right. Oh, yeah. No, I had a couple. We had a breakfast at

Balthazar with a guy I've done work with in the past. And when we stood up from breakfast, he immediately looked at me and said, well, I need to know who the celebrity you were sitting next to was. And I was like, I did not know I was sitting next to a celebrity, like had no clue. Apparently people had been going up to him and asking for autographs the entire time. And so that's how he and Sally recognized. And I stood up, turned around, saw his face and like, I immediately knew the face, but it took me, you know, 15 seconds before I put it all together and realized it was Joe Montana. Ah, he ate 12 oysters for breakfast, 9 a.m.

breakfast, 12 oysters. Uh, he ate them simply with a fork. Just forked it and put it in his mouth, which is not usually how you do that. That's a diabolical move all around. Yeah, yeah. And I'm glad I didn't know he was, I mean, he was, I could have flared my elbow out and hit him.

That's how close we were, which is also why I didn't like look at him. And then we went and had drinks with Sally's college friend the next day and had our biggest celeb sighting of the weekend, which was Mayhem from Allstate. That's insane. And then the final one that Sally and I had was

the guy from High Maintenance on HBO. That's the guy. If you guys have ever seen that show, it all revolves around this drug dealer in New York City and he's just got like a, he's like a balding dude that kind of has like longer hair on the sides and a beard. And he walked by and Sally and I watched enough of that show

that I trusted Sally when she said that she was positive. It was him. And yeah, shout out to Mayhem though. That's a good one. None of the, none of the celebrity sightings we saw where people acting like dickheads and that's always refreshing. Yeah.

But I do feel like, I feel like such a classic non-New Yorker when I'm in New York and like looking for celebrities and stuff. And when you see one, it's like, no, I gotta be cool. I told Alyssa that like on, when we were, we saw Kristen Cole, I was like, I was like, don't, I was like, don't, I was like, don't, we don't wanna be those people.

Don't we wanna be those people? And I'm like texting Barrett cause I was like, don't, we don't wanna be those people, don't wanna be those people. And I'm like texting Barrett, cause I knew Barrett would go crazy. And he's like, dude, get a peg. Oh my God, yeah, Barrett. But that's, I was like, if you could see what he's wearing right now, you would love it.

Cause he was so New Yorked out. And then I had what was probably the best slice of pizza I've had in years highly recommended Some are calling it Lucia. I was calling it Lucia either way LUCIA highly recommend went to the one in soho not the one in the Brooklyn in Brooklyn, but uh That place was good was good, man. I even walked over afterward. It's like a tiny little place. No tables And I was like ask I was like dude, what's what's y'all's best seller? And they said like the vodka pizza. I was

like, okay. And I was like, bro, I had the pepperoni was gas. He's like, thanks, bro. Really appreciate it. I had someone else. So you got to go to the place that Dave went to at the meetup. That's the best pizza in town. There's like five people that said different places were the best pizza, you know, it's pizza. And it was fucking delightful. By the way, all the recommendations that started pouring in once we got there, places to go grab food or a drink, thank you for all of them,

but I would have to be there for six months to hit all the places I recognized. It's overwhelming. So I just started to ignore them. It's overwhelming. What's the breakfast place that I told you that you went with Barrett, something Frieda? Oh, Jack's wife, Frieda.

Jack's wife, Frieda. I had a Mediterranean omelet, which I think is like a, it had like a Lebanese yogurt on it. And the inside was like olives and spinach and stuff. It was fucking good. And like, really good. And like the, I think like, what did you call them? 20 teens, like 2015, 16, 17, 18.

I think that was just like a hotspot to get brunch. And now it's fallen off from the popularity aspect of it. Easy to get in. I've eaten there like twice in both times. I'm like, that was an incredible meal. I really enjoyed this. Alyssa had a waffle. It was really great.

Look. Better than being awful. Needed a couple needed a couple other days I wanted to do I wanted to do you know I want to hit BX I was trying to get in the building just didn't make it BX wasn't in the building for a minute there. There's some other stuff I would like to do so I will be back I will be back all in all delightful got to see like a side street with that had like a line of cars

that were just stopped and no one knew why they were stopped and people were getting out and looking up and honking and I was like, yep, this is why, this is why I couldn't do it. This is just like in the movies, people like walking up just leaving their car and stuff. I was like, this is a nightmare. This is what I pictured New York City to be. Yeah, that's stressful. Yeah, the meetup was a blast too. So much fun. Thank you to everyone who came out.

Like the meetup was great. It's fun seeing familiar faces. It's fun meeting the new faces. To anyone who dressed up and went above and beyond, major props to you. I'm sorry that more of us didn't dress up. Dylan did wear his cowboy hat though. Thank you so much for showing up.

Gardener Snake Dave. Was it annoying to tired travel with your cowboy hat more than it was traveling there? Traveling with a cowboy hat is not fun. Yeah. Especially when I don't know why you do it. I had a window seat on the way back and I just had nowhere to put it because I couldn't there's just no room anywhere. Yeah you look miserable especially when half the plane stood up when it landed and you were just like trying to figure out a way how you can travel. I know you'll have clappers on the way there. We had clappers on the way home. No. Yeah. I was like, what the hell, dude? Why are we still doing that? We're not doing that. No one's doing that.

Stop. Shout out Delta. I was, that was a great flight. Delta is the goat right now. I'm real in on Delta. Gonna give a shout out to one person at the meetup. The guy who came with his friends and said, I don't listen, but meeting all you guys, you're great.

I'm gonna start listening. So hopefully you're listening and shout out to you. We appreciate you. Glad we could earn your business, my man. That sounds great. And the guy who brought me a water, he goes, Dave, you said a long time ago on a show that no one ever brings you water with these things.

And he did. Dude, honestly, I wish that would have happened to me. I wish that would have happened to me. If somebody would have brought me a big ice water with a lemon in there, I would have chugged that thing on the spot. Did you meet the guy? Was it guy Fieri who had flown in from San Diego, San Diego? I know like he wasn't there just for the meetup, but I was just like damn dude real ones anyone who flew in

You're also an MVP. He came up. He came with me and I'd hope I'm not putting him up front straight here. So Anyway, he was like, I think I just met my future wife. Fuck. Yeah, he's a backer I was like love it. He goes if it works out you guys are gonna come to the wedding I want to I want a backer love story. Yeah, beautiful. Very nice guy. Hey big tax.

College? I was in college. Yeah. You're currently in college. Yeah. I mean, do people want to talk about me going to Stanford? Like, I don't know. like, you know how I am. Like, I'm pretty humble about going to Stanford.

Are you gonna go walk? Rest in peace, Phil Lesh. I'm a little bummed we have a class on Halloween night this week, because I wanna be present for it, but I'm gonna have to watch it on demand, because I'm gonna take my absolute boys trick or treating. I think you're making the right decision.

Yeah, yeah, but if you're gonna take a Grateful Dead class about the history of the Grateful Dead and one of the members passes in between classes, you gotta think that next class is just gonna hit so diffy. Yeah, that's a good point. I guess when you grow out, you can update in your resume and your LinkedIn, your GD certified.

It was cool seeing them light up the Empire State Building for Phil Lesh. We were walking to dinner and I was like, oh, this timing is great. And they lit it up all tie dye for him. My photos of it suck, baby. So I don't know if, I don't think I've ever fallen asleep in class.

Oh, what? Ever. Really? I'd never, it's dude, the fear of being embarrassed is enough to get me through. You ever do one of those? Yeah, I've had the plane style head bob does. Yeah, I was doing the rain. Snap back to it. I went to sleep in one class that was like a huge lecture and I was so tired. I had to, because I had to, I worked at 8 a.m. every day and so I was so tired in my class that I just sat in The back and like just straight up went to sleep took that opportunity. So I'm impressed you never slept in class during like pledging or anything. I

Honestly, it's it's the anxiety that I get it through I go but I Did have one I did have one class a polypsych class where the dude next to me He was he's kept sick. That had some cool dudes, shout out Harbs. Um, he fell asleep a couple of times. And then the second time, as soon as class ended, uh, Dr. Leder, uh, shout out Dr. Leder walked over and this is what the people still in the class and just got in his face and just told him he was goddamn rude.

He goes, if you tie, if you're tired, you stay your ass at home. Oh my God. I was like, Whoa, your professor, if you're tired, you stay your ass at home. Oh my God. I was like, whoa, your professor, an email being like, Hey, I'm tired. My ass is staying at home. He was like a 75 year old man too, from the, from Brooklyn. That's enough for me to never fall asleep in that guy's class. Um, I, this has hit the TL a couple of times and, uh, this is very little bit Randy coated. I thought it was a fun one to play. It's a professor seemingly in a college course.

It seems to be a big classroom. And this is how he wakes up sleeping students. He's doing a lot. Jesus cannot be looked down on like. Cause tonight will be the night that I will fall for you And again I'll really change my mind Right in his face And he just goes back

Oh he's got another one Structure and feedbacks are of course very important when making a compelling argument Do you have the time to listen to me wine? This guy's this guy rocks dude. I would love this class. Oh, he's got another one. Oh Dave, he doesn't quit dude. Climbing over seats. Oh, he's't quit, dude. Reading comprehension. Always. Climbing over seats. Oh, he's got a bullhorn. Don't waste your time on me.

You're already the voice inside my head. Do they hold his nose for him? Oh my god, dude. So he can do the whining voice? Yes. So that's his best. That's when you know that you have the students on your side, if they're holding your nose to get whinier. I don't like that they portray this as emo.

These aren't emo songs. These aren't emo. First one, maybe. What's the first one? The first one is Fall For You by Secondhand Sarah. That's kind of emo. Okay. I was going to say that's the one I didn't know. Isn't that the song used for all those...

The memes. Yeah, the memes. Thank you. I would say Miss You is definitely the most emo of Blink's like songs. Yeah, but it's still not emo. Uh, if you're in this class and you're like, and you see him start creeping up those stairs and you just know, oh, everyone knows, you know, there's a good chance this is going to hit and, uh, this is the way to do it.

I love this dude. I don't know anything about this class. It's great. It's so good. I This would make me like a professor so much more than anything. Yeah. Like it just being like, okay, this guy's this guy has a bit. It's a good bit. I would be excited if I saw someone do like the head fall. Yeah. This also makes me realize how many professors

just know that you're sleeping in class. How do you fall asleep at all after one time of seeing that? I wanna know if those are from the same day. He was wearing the same outfit. Because- Does this guy suck outside of this? The second to people, how do you fall asleep knowing what happened to the first person who fell asleep?

You don't want the bullhorn broken out on you when you're fucking falling asleep in class. This guy's badass. second to people how do you fall asleep knowing what happened to the first person who fell asleep you don't want the bullhorn broken out on you when you're fucking falling asleep in class this guy's badass I I would pray if I was a professor and I saw people falling asleep it would probably bother me I think it would I'd be like you know I don't know you know I don't know if I would have bears and I would probably say something after class but I that would bum me out if people were falling asleep in my shit. I once had a teacher fall asleep while teaching the class.

That's sick. He was standing at the podium and he started dozing off himself. And I was just like, this should be a red flag for a million different reasons right now. It was a high school teacher though, not like a tenured professor. I'll say this, he wasn't a Stanford professor.

Okay. I got an email the other day. Can I read you guys this email? Please. You know, we have a viral newsletter called Washed Weekly. I wrote a column one time. I think it was my most well-received column on Washed Weekly.

That was essentially me giving my resume to start going on golf trips with some absolute boys out there. They're not my absolute boys, but maybe they will be if I ever do a golf trip with them. I had a lot of people reach out after. A lot of golf trips that I couldn't make. Maybe some of the courses that were offered

were just courses that weren't on my bucket list, so I didn't know if I wanted to make it happen. But I got this one and I was like, man, he's making a compelling case here. Do you mind if I just read the email? I haven't responded to this guy yet, so this is my formal response and I will respond to him with the episode after.

So I'm gonna shorten his name and just say that his name is Sam. Okay. Okay. Will, I've heard your pleas. I share your plight. I hereby invite you to join some great men, perhaps eight in total on a buddy's golf trip. Our group has devised a golf trip to be located in the great state of

Michigan, where I'm famously from. Yes, you are. Traverse City to be specific, about an hour and a half from my hometown. He said, and have convinced our wives and significant others to set us loose at the end of May to descend upon the golf courses of Arcadia. We have dubbed this annual tournament the Family Reunion and I've been requested to extend this invitation to you. As a Michigan man, we would be honored with your presence as I'm the only consumer of the Wash Media brand in your group. I think it would be particularly hilarious for you to attend and really think that you would get along well. The group consists of college buddies from the University of South Carolina. I would have to show up in a Cox hat, right? And a couple

siblings and friends added to the group as adults. The group consists of early thirties, mid handicappers, right up my eye. Uh, and want to go on a buddy's who just want to go on a buddy's trip together, enjoy some great courses and create some fun competition. Happy to provide socials upon requests. Do I need to request this dude socials and see if we have some ball players? Make sure they're not total boners. Yeah, this is this is my favorite offer for numerous

reasons. One, I feel like it's genuine. Two, it's in an area of the country that I'm very familiar with and also love being in. There's no no downside there. He also notes that he's an attorney. Oh, so we got some responsibility in the mix. I don't know. If I've learned anything from going on trips with Dave, the attorneys might be the most wild ass ones.

Hey man, he might have to pop his lappy open at the bar or something. Just get a bill, sneak some billables in. Can you just do that on the course? Dude, I sat next to this girl at dinner in New York and our reservation was at nine and her reservation had to have been around, I don't know, 9.30.

We left the restaurant at 11 and she had her work phone open, her personal phone face down on the table and her laptop wide open, just sitting with her friend at the table. And I'm like, it's 11 p.m. on a Friday night. What the fuck are you doing right now? Jesus.

Like, stop. You're making everyone's, the menu even said no flash photography on it. And I'm like, instead of no flash photography, can I say no full brightness laptops open in the booth next to me? It's at an actual restaurant. Yeah. Oh, a nice, a very nice restaurant.

And she's on the same booth side as Sally, like to the point where like they're both kind of sitting away from each other because it's so close quarters. You know, New York, baby You know, we're all family there Just like what are you doing? That's a no. Do I need to take this guy up? It's in May which is an it's a palatable amount of time to gear up for something like this Yeah

Yeah Downside is what? You don't have that as much. I mean bunch of d of dorks, a bunch of dorks. And you're like, here's the downside. I've played Arcadia Bluffs before that course eats my lunch. The misses, the misses on that course, uh, that I have are the opportunities to miss on that course for my normal misses. It's, it's, it just makes it an ugly day out there for me. Parlay this into a trip to see your folks too. It's true. It's true. You know? True. My folks don't wanna see me anymore. They wanna see my kids.

They're gonna be like, where are the kids? Ooh, maybe I fly to Harbor and drive down myself and leave the kids, leave the boys. Give Sally a little weekend. Yeah, there's no downside here. And if the guys, if you're having fun, the guys kinda stink a little bit. You can always be like,

guys, I'm gonna just go hang out with family, sorry. Just dip a little early. Well, now they know you're gonna do that. Yeah, they're gonna be like, wait, what? How many rounds are they playing? I don't know. I mean, there's two courses that are there're gonna do that. Yeah, they're gonna be like, wait, what? How many rounds are they playing? I don't know. I mean, there's two courses that are there right now. And then I think they're building a 12 hole course.

I have takes on that, but I don't know if the takes are good or not, but I think it's weird as fuck to just do a 12 hole course. Well, I think this is in play. I have a golf trip next weekend with some lutes that I'm very excited for, because I've been thirsting to go on a golf trip for like over some lutes that I'm very excited for because I've been thirsty to go on a golf trip for like over a year now.

It's been forever since I've gotten to do anything like this. I'm just like so horned up for it. This is gonna be the one trip where I come back with hats for the boys. If you guys are willing, raise your hand if you're willing to wear a hat from a golf course you haven't played before. Okay.

Of course. Okay. I've done some preemptive logo research and I think we're in a good spot. I mean, you've played this course before. No, I've never played. I've never been to South, I mean, I've never spent any time in South Carolina.

So I'm excited. I went to Charleston once for a wedding. So yeah, dude, I think, I think me and Sam might be absolutes by the end of this whole ordeal. Go, you should do it. Do I get a Cox hat? Do I, should I get like a, dude, I think I think me and Sam might be absolutes by the end of this whole ordeal go You should do it. Do I get a Cox hat? Do I should I get like a oh, yeah I get a row back using code wash 20. Is that it? Yeah I'm gonna get a row back with just some Cox stuff on it and just sneakily put that in there get the old school University bar hat that just says Cox. How do you feel about this Dave?

Highlighting something is signature for you, but, look how fucking, this guy must be frat. If he's frat, that changes things. Zoom in on his pic. Oh, he sent a PDF? How am I just now seeing the PDF? Oh my God. Oh, he's, okay, he sent a PDF, a full PDF presentation on this.

Oh yeah, it's happened, okay. Two team Ryder Cup format, handicap adjusted, three rounds, all match play scramble four ball and then singles at the end. Oh dude, he is, he is making. Okay. Yeah, this is happening. You gotta go. Total cost per person for housing 340.

with no coding experience, I knew how to do everything. From there, Dylan, you can put up videos on the website to show people about your factory that's making the bats, or if you're hand whittling them, maybe you can do that. I'm doing these by hand.

Just go make it happen. I love Squarespace. You'll love it even more. I have a huge grammatical error in this. Oh man. Okay, I've been having a rough time lately with... I saw that earlier. I've been having a rough time lately on planes,

mainly because my rapport, my vibe with flight attendants has just been off. This has nothing to do with the flight attendant. If anything, I think our flight attendants on our Delta flight were incredible. So we're sitting there. I'm in the window seat. Sally is in the middle seat and we have a nice older lady sitting next to us. Okay.

Across the aisle way, we have a seemingly way too happy dude considering how early our flight was. Dude just had a palpable happiness to him, you know? Cocaine. Probably had bing bong. I was going to say bing bong. Yeah. In front of us, we had a couple and just from the immediate eye test of the dude and the

couple, I was just like, this couple sucks. Sometimes a couple just sucks. You can just tell. I can just tell. This guy sucks. We had one of those on the way back from wherever we flew recently. There's that guy and never mind. I don't want to go ahead. They suck sometimes. And then the girl is on the flight and she has got her hood up, headphones on. I think she had a big night the night before. Not gonna shame her for that.

Goblin mode? Dave, she was as close to goblin mode as you can be if she wasn't in goblin mode. I think for flight purposes, this was about as goblin as you can get. Okay. She had also brought on board her McDonald's iced coffee. In the middle of the flight, we hit a little turbulence,

her iced coffee goes flying off her table where she's watching her iPad and it spills directly into the middle of the aisle of the entire plane. She leans over, picks up the cup, puts it back and just goes back to watching her thing. Everyone's just like, what? How full was this coffee? Completely full, she had not taken a sip of it.

Oh wow. It's all over the aisle. The palpable happy guy next to us looks at her and I'm so glad he did this, but he just goes, are you not gonna do anything about this? You can see the coffee like sliding down the aisle. Oh no, you've got a river of coffee? Yeah, and so he said something to her and she goes, and she just

looks at him and then turns back around and just starts watching her iPad even more. And so we're like, what? And I, meanwhile, I'm worried her husband, boyfriend, fiance, whoever the guy is in front of the guy who called her out. I was worried this guy was going to like throw hands or something. Bare minimum. You just ring the bell like, look, I got a situation. Bare minimum. I'm really sorry. Bare minimum. You probably don't have any paper towels at your disposal.

So you, first thing you hit the light. Yeah. And you know, cause that's the move. Or you get up and you walk down and say, Hey, I had a spill. I made messy with my car. It happens all the time. It's not just about the spill. It's about the respect for the people around you.

Like our bags are on the floor of this flight. Great point. Is there ice too? Like ice everywhere also? No, the ice had since melted. Okay. So like, I think she was just betting on this soaking into the carpet and not having to think about it

for the rest of the flight. Weird. The nice guy gets up from his seat and goes to the back, talks to a flight attendant and they come and clean it up for it. The girl doesn't move the entire time. And I'm like, this is the most trash move I've ever seen on an airplane before. Oh my God.

Just does nothing to remedy the situation. I was glad that I was in the window seat and not toward the aisle, because if my bag was in the position of Sally or the woman next to us, I would have been like, that coffee stand up, clean this shit up. It probably got on so many people's shit bags and everything. I was worried we were going to get in a situation where something was gonna escalate because the guy was so adamant

that she'd do something about it that her husband was going to over do it on the response to that. And then suddenly our plane's turning around and going back to New York because we have to arrest someone or something. It was just like, oh my God, what are we doing here? Can I say something? That's loco. Look, had I been in on that plane, It was just like, oh my God, what are we doing here? Say something.

That's loco. Look, had I been in on that plane, had I been there, it would have gone down differently. Facts, facts. I would have been down there with my mouth open, just not wasting the coffee. Yeah, I would have been absolutely slurping that. I would have looked like Barry Kiyogan in Saltburn.

You got your straw and you just drank it up. Mm-hmm. That's disgusting. What? You don't want me lapping up the coffee? Dude, my Saltburn Vinyl's coming soon, Dylan. Do you wanna come over and spin it with me? The one that has semen inside of it?

Yeah. Well, you would have been like- I can't believe that's a real thing. I bought it with retail therapy money because I was like, this is perfect. You would have been like Rob in the bathroom at the Christmas party season one after he hung out with Yaz.

I wish I would have been like the guy that Yaz was with on the private plane home from the work trip that they took in season three. Oh. Naughty girl. Naughty girl. I think, so yeah, after the other person in my life who's not named David Ruff, who I recommend things to,

that doesn't listen to me is my wife, Sally. And it took one recommendation from her college friend in New York to now hop on the industry train. I was like, Sally, I have been watching this in front of you in our bedroom for years now, and you are now taking her recommendation? Like, come on. I gotta say, well, you've been on point all these years

with your recommendations. Like you recommended Game of Thrones. No, I recommended to not watch Game of Thrones because I knew the last season would be underwhelming. Succession. Dude, nobody was talking about that show. Nobody watched that. Shogun.

That's me, I'm a fall knower. You just, dude, you like. When I said watch Shogun, everyone's like, yeah, dude We'll totally watch that entire season and didn't stop four episodes in it's like Otani with runners on base Like it wills fucking just he's putting them home I regret I regret showing you the snake eyes trailer starring Nick Cage because I think that might have put you further away from watching Snake eyes. No, I do not damn it. I would have downloaded that for the plane. I am four deep in Penguin right now.

Oh, dude. So I was desperate on the plane yesterday, Dylan, to watch something and a bunch of my stuff had expired that I had downloaded and one of the only things that hadn't expired was Penguin. But I was like, I have to watch the movie before I watch Penguin. You don't have to. No, but I'm the type of person that will be sitting there the entire time being like, wait, was that little nuance right there? Even if it's like not, I will just always wonder if I'm missing something. In that case, then you should definitely finish Harry Potter movie four. Okay. Yeah, no, I'm going to skip that one. I'm going to actually, I'm going to skip five and six too. I might just go to the last one and just

vibe on seven part one and two. Dave, can I a ten-second review of what you've seen of the penguin so far? You could have more than ten seconds if you really like I Really like the penguin I like him. I like his scenes with his His driver. I'm just I'm gonna be intentionally vague. He's played golf his scenes with his driver are probably the highest the looming antagonist He's played golf. His scenes with his driver are probably the highest. The looming antagonist, don't know if I need, I'm just not sure. It's not the storyline into how that person got to where she's at.

It doesn't make a ton of sense. No one would handle things that way from like a family perspective. And then also like episode four, feel like was really really gassed up pun not intended um it was it was fine but I am I'm sticking with it I it's been good I'm not it's not great but I really I need I'm I'm very excited to see where they're going to go with with With the penguin and his little protege haven't watched. Okay Okay, I'll take it How many have there been five five? Okay, I'll watch five tonight problem unless it everyone was released over the weekend that I haven't

No guys yet. I'm da I'll dive in it's it's slated. We've we've started that Adam Brody Kristen Bell show And I just sure I don't like it. Oh, with Justine Lupe? Or Lupe? Oh yeah, you, Alyssa saw her, right? Yeah, Alyssa saw Justine Lupe in the elevator and said she was really nice. Getting a succession sighting in New York would be really fun.

She's one that if I made eye contact with her, I would be, not starstruck, but I would be like, cause I find her, she's very attractive. Yeah, she's great. And like, she's great in the show. Like she's actually the character that I like most in the show that I just talked about She what's called she's like like She's like a perfect level of famous too. Yeah to where it's not unapproachable, but it's like Oh the perfect level of fame you're also someone like her is that you know the face, but you don't know the name immediately. Yeah

That's I would not when she told me she texted me so excited like oh my god is that you know the face, but you don't know the name immediately. Yeah. When she told me, she texted me so excited, like, oh my God, I just had a conversation with Justine Lupe and told her I love the new show, blah, blah, blah, and she was so nice, she had her baby, and I was like, that's great. I don't know who it is. I don't want to listen to know that I don't love the new show,

because she's the one who stole me on watching it. I'm gonna watch more episodes of it. I liked how it ended. I just didn't like how it began. When I realized it was a show where the two main characters were doing podcast stuff, I was like, oh, OK. I'm going to immediately have my. I mean, you're in the biz, bro.

Yeah, dude, it's like when my finance buddies watch industry, they're like, it's not like that. It's just not like that. I would love to hear somebody with that take. I'm going to contact my most industry coded friend and be like give me your takes on the show. I know you've watched it. Well, we were waiting at the burger place for our table. A dude walked by us. He looked like he was like

twenty-four. He had a he had a UBS vest on. Yes. Did you see the back hair? Did you have the UBS duffel bag as well? Yeah. Yeah. And like the way he walked by, was like, all right now all these the finance They're just leaning into the bit. There were so many dudes in New York wearing the finance bro uniform Like it's crazy to me how many dudes were rocking that when it's such a joke Yeah. Yeah, saw a lot of them saw a lot of dudes in like skinny tech material pants, all birds and no socks. I was like, you guys gotta put some socks on.

Maybe they had no shows on. Yeah, but I mean, come on dude. It's too much ankle. It's late October in New York. Show an ankle at this point. It's a good point. It's ugly. They live for that shit.

Yeah. They live for throwing that top coat on. That big old heavy coat. I kinda want an investment bank duffel bag now with the logo on it. That's kind of a dope flex. It does look sick. It's like, yeah, no, I just got done at the Knox. Equinox?

The Knox. Her breath. That's what Brett used to call it. Could talk to Dwayne Wade real quick. What do y'all do if you show up to your statue ceremony and this is what you look like? Randy, you got a pig. Why is it that when one of these is unveiled,

his jawline's not that big. It's almost always just a total joke and because it looks nothing like the person. Why is it so difficult to get the face right? But do we not see the ones that are like perfectly done? Maybe. Because they don't go viral? Maybe. Yeah, this if this looked just like him, we have known about it. But if

you're such a legend at any any organization at all enough to get a statue, and then they get it so wrong, it's just like, what? Why? Nothing beats the Ronaldo one. The Ronaldo one is so weird, because they were just like, what if we made the the facial features on him super tiny? Yeah, just it made him look this doesn't look like a goofy person like that one does it just looks like a different human yeah looks like a 90 year old somebody else i've been trying to figure out which nba player it could possibly look like like could they just repurpose this and repaint the jersey and put up like a statue somewhere else it looks like someone just writhing in pain almost i have

regrets regarding this because i after doing something with the Detroit Lions, I think that somebody thought that maybe the Sunday Scaries account dealt with sports more than it does, but they didn't realize that doing something with the Lions was simply a passion project for me. They reached out and asked if I was willing to do a collab post about the unveiling of this because it was unveiled on a Sunday. Now I'm like, wait, this would have been hilarious because it's gone so viral now that like it would have been just funny.

You know, when like a guy gets injured, he's all around screaming and like the training staff gets out and like he's pointing to like his legs, like his nose is like foot sideways or something. That's, that's what this looks like. My boy's down. They're running over like, oh, and he's just like, ah. He's just pointing it to his feet. Yeah, it's like something bad happened down there.

I don't wanna look. Is this from an iconic image they don't know about? Does he actually do this move? You should have done the lob to LeBron. Yeah, have you seen the Photoshop of him? Yes. Yes. That really makes you realize how little it looks like him.

People think that they can live without Twitter, but it's like, what are you gonna do next time a bad statue drops? Like, where are you gonna go? Yeah. Yeah, maybe they're getting them hilariously wrong on purpose because it creates so much publicity for it. I don't know.

Their life's work. They're gonna give any of the other big three a statue? I know Dwayne Wade's more Miami Heat than anybody, but. Oh my God, a Bosch statue I really need to see what that would be funny. But it's just straight-up Raptor who gets the LeBron statue. Is it Cleveland Cleveland? Yeah, Cleveland Honestly, he just gave you one like each town. Yeah, you should give him one. Hey, yeah Lakers, maybe not

They want like a brawny statue it's more of an inspiration piece than a tribute. Just like what could be. Yeah. The ultimate Nepo baby. The brawny statue. Did the Lakers win in the bubble year? They won the end season tournament. They did win in the bubble year and they did, yes, Randy.

Oh, they did? Oh, sorry, I didn't realize they did that. People forgot. That's a forgettable season. Yeah, the Pistons are trash. That's a forgettable season. Yeah. Yeah. The Pistons are trash. It's like DJ winning the masters in COVID in the fall. Here's the condition.

Thank you for bringing up the Ronaldo statue. I know Ronaldo does have some weird like intricacies to his face, but not weird enough to make him look like this. His head is so big and his face is so small. They need to shave down the sides of his head. Like his head is not that round. It's Christoph Porzingis. Right? That's so small. They need to shave down the sides of his head. Like his head is not that round. It's Christoph's porzingis. Right?

That's so funny. It's so bad. I got that kind of like side smirk thing down, but the red, it's just. Or just find like a different, a time when his face is a little bit easier to sculpt. Like don't do, this is not an iconic photo of Ronaldo. Is it?

Like is he doing something cool at some like award ceremony? Find a different time. If I have a palpable buzz about me today, it's because I get to live on Twitter during Favorite Soccer Club Manager Firing Day, or sacking as they call it. Dave, he got sacked.

I knew it. I woke up this morning and someone's getting sacked. Man United sacked their manager this morning. And it's for me, as a soccer fan, it's the best day. When a major manager gets sacked, it's like the most exciting day on Twitter because everyone's just dunking. There's theories getting thrown out about who the new manager is going to be. It's just the most fun time. Eric Ten Hogg. Some call him a bald fraud.

They used to call me Ten Hogg. I think he was leaving some area today that's connected with the team and he tried to hide behind the seat of the car so you couldn't see him. And now there's just a bunch of photos of his, like, I mean, when I say he's bald, like he's shaved his everything, it's cue ball.

You just see like the tip of his bald head sticking out from behind the seat and everyone's like, dude, this is worse than just getting your photo taken. Unless he's crying, then it would be worse. Yeah, don't hide. No, that's not a good look. No. All right, final thing.

I just wanna see a photo of it because I think I'm gonna get one of these at some point. If Jimmy John's ever decides to deliver in my delivery area. They won't. They won't. You have to buy your own franchise. There's one like three minutes away from my place,

but they won't deliver for free. I know I should just go get it, but I have kids at home. So sometimes I need things delivered. Randy, can you pull up a pickle or picture of the pickle, which please? Okay. This isn't a gag. Hold on. It might.

I used to work at that Jimmy John's not three minutes away from three minutes away. I know maps noted map. No, or will the freeze. Ready? Did you write a bike around New York at all? No, the brutal bike. I tried to, but they want to let me Stationary they're sold out. Yeah. Yeah, Jimmy John's pickle, which yeah, I put a link in the rundown. Yeah freak

Absolutely, it's not very sorry. I'll say that. No, I can't that there's a problem. I had no like Oh Y'all trying this or nah? What's on it? I think I read something that said, hold on. Let me pull up the actual thing. I had better information than what I'm giving you right now. I'm sorry.

To quote the great Instagram account, ChefReactions, I'd try it. His admissions of what he would try, even when it's a terrible recipe, it makes me happy that he's upfront enough about it. Look, I mean- Zero on time, I'd try it. Okay, this says- It's trash, but yeah.

This says, you asked, Jimmy answered. Starting 1028, you can order a Vito or Turkey Picklewich at participating locations for a limited time while supplies last. I think I would try this. I don't, Randy, I don't know if you can speak to this. Jimmy John's has some goaded pickles situations going on. They're very good.

I don't know where they get them from. If there's a way I could just buy a barrel and keep it in my like garage. Like their pickles are so good that I usually get a full pickle when I order a sandwich from them anyway And now that I can I would eat this but I would only eat it with a fork and knife which might make it just a little Don't like the idea that will has that would have a barrel pickles in his garage, dude I've said it before and I'll say it again if during my final meal I don't know what the entree is gonna be during my final meal when I'm on death row

But I would like a giant jar of pickles so that if I need to max out on pickles, I will. Can you get these scooped as well? Like you can the bread buns. I've wondered that because we're not scooping your pickles. Like yeah, is it a beta move if I scoop my pickle sandwich? I don't know, but that's the thing.

My least favorite thing about Jimmy John's is the bread. It's just not, it's not good bread. I'm telling you. Dude, hand up, I hollow out the bread at Jimmy John's. I get it scooped out. It makes it so much better. It does, it makes it a better sandwich. This would be good for two bites.

And then you'd be like, ah man, there's a lot left. And then maybe you just kind of eat the middle part by itself. I think this would get old. It's a no carb play, which I appreciate. Apparently the no carb stuff at Taco Bell was like selling out every morning because it was so popular.

What is it? They replaced the tortilla with like an egg or something? Yeah. Is that how they do it? Yep. Yeah. Apparently like keto people were going, and that was right during the keto peak popularity.

It's still around, can you still do it? I don't know if you can still do it. Huh, okay. I have a friend who used to work for the Taco Bell marketing team, so she would get tipped off to like things that were coming out. So she heard about the Doritos Locos early.

Oh shit. Apparently the girl's group chat was buzzing. I will say in regards to this photo, I think it's misleading because the pickles are not that big. I mean, they're big pickles. They're big pickles, yeah. You're not getting a full sandwich worse with what that makes it look like.

That's true. Maybe they found a- See, this is the insider knowledge that I needed from Randy. Maybe they found a new pickle plug and they found some big boys. Maybe, I don't know. That's true. Maybe they found a- See, this is the insider knowledge that I needed from Rand. Maybe they found a new pickle plug and they found some big boys. Maybe, I don't know. That could have been. The Ren Fair, they have huge pickles.

Really? You would love them. Oh, and they're delicious. There's a brotherhood out there for people who love pickles. Whenever I see something pickle driven, I have three different people that I send it to immediately. One of which is Landry Landry's a certified pickle head. They're calling him Byron pickle, which we bought some pickle flavored hummus the other day. Oh

It's a good mix in that's a great Super Bowl snack, I don't know if I need the yeah like I went so no Do you call Dave? Actually Dave? I think you're right here though, because I don't want the whole container anymore I've had enough of it that I'm like over it But I would love if it was a on a on a hummus tray at a super bowl party It sounds good. I got an ad yesterday on my my delta tv screen about um some chicken wings And it was about nine in the morning and I looked at sally I texted her actually because she was sleeping and I just texted her and I said, some boneless wings sound great tonight. Did not do that, I played my Zoc card. You know, I also in New York,

in addition to having the best slice of pizza, I had the worst meal I've ordered, paid US money for at the beer garden. There was a pop-up there and you had to order an app. Order these Asian chicken wings, so excited about them, they came hot. I we're an app or are these Asian chicken wings so excited about them They came oh, I know that if Dave can get some Asian chicken wings in his life. He's gonna do it Alyssa had two bites and pushed it away from her. They were into it the way that there is so much dry seasoning

It was if they were revolting they're inedible. Well, I was like dude, I'll eat fucking anything I love like these could be like I will eat this if it's if it's just edible And it was threw them away They're hollowing out the pickles. Okay. Yeah based on based on those photos that they I guess I do hollow them out a little bit see that I like This this view is actually like tempting The fact that they're doing a veto on this to veto veto for me is easily my favorite, Jimmy John's. I want Jimmy John's so bad.

I've been a Jersey Mike stan for a while now. I am officially back in on Jimmy John's. Hey, if you buy, I'll fly tonight. It's today for lunch. What? If you buy, I'll fly. Really? I kind of want to try one of these.

I might take you up on that, because I got shit to do. Only participating locations, make sure it's there. No, but I don't know if I want the pickle witch today. I think I just want a normal Vito. It just absolutely souped up. Could do a number nine Italian nightclub.

The last time I got a, what's it called? Jersey Mike's and got it Mike's way. It was the most sopping wet disgusting sandwich I've ever had. I pushed it away like Alyssa with some Asian wings. See, I feel like based on how you're describing the wings, I feel like I would have eaten them because I've there's like a weird part of me that might have liked them. But I would have pretended like I didn't like it just because y'all hated it so much. I am not kidding. Like everybody who was looking at them, I offered them. I

was like, please y'all eat these. No one wanted them. And had I continued eating them, it might have ruined my no picks? They suck, dude. And I had to download an app to order them because it was so painfully New York. And it was a pop-up, it was weird. I could see Dylan lettuce wrapping his In-N-Out. Don't do that. I did that recently.

Dude, it sucks though. It does, no it does. I let us wrap at Pete Terry's too. I'm sad. I'm sad What they got decent buns. It's not Yeah, it's a carve thing man. This is why you have a six pack and I don't It's not good Your six pack I would love to do it

I would love to watch you do a shirtless pants beer with that six pack Did anybody in this room have anything other than Guinness at the meetup? I had one Heineken. You did. Shout out to grateful dead backer Jake. Phil Lash was a big Heineken fan. So he rolled up and gave me one single Heineken. I didn't meet him.

He was gone quick. He was gone quick. There was a Daniel Donato show that I actually had some friends from Harbor Springs go to. And I was like, damn it, had I known y'all growing, I might've tried to go with you guys. But he wanted to go there. So he had to make a quick appearance.

Yeah, I was mixing it around too much probably. I had like some of those neutrals, had a tequila soda. I had like maybe three, two, maybe three shots. Really? You seem fine on the plane next to me. God. Falling asleep before the plane takes off is an elite move. What time did you go to bed Saturday night? He didn't get you. Falling asleep before the plane takes off is an elite move. What time did you go to bed Saturday night?

He didn't, dog. Like after. Why didn't you get you a booze drink, Hans? After 1 a.m. Yeah, why didn't you get a drink on the plane? Yeah, it was definitely after 1 a.m. You didn't want a booze drink, Hans? No, I did not need that.

I would have, we were talking about getting a vodka neat. I've been terrible. No one was actually talking about that. No, maybe. No, I can't drink. I just wanted to see if you wanted a booze drink, Hans. No, I did eat. I've been terrible. No one was actually talking about that. No, maybe. No, I can't drink. I just wanted to see if you wanted a booze drink, Hans. No, I did not.

He kept on saying that to me. He's like, how much did you get you a gin and tonic? I was so close to getting a spicy Bloody Mary next to Joe Montana and I went down. Get you one, Hans. Do you want me to play the video? Not really. No, you look good in it, dude.

Play the video for him. Please, Randy. You can just, I don't want, fine. How bad is it? It's not bad. It's actually really good. It's a good video. There's nothing bad about it.

It's just seeing Randy so down bad. You would have made me feel worse about how I felt, so I'm glad that I wasn't on y'all's flight. Did you say that? Delta fly. I was just, just the image of this. No, no, no, you just play it. You look good, dude. Oh my God. Oh yes. I love this. Oh, this isn't me falling asleep. Did he call you Haas in this video?

Is there audio? Oh, is there audio? You're, you're talking. Do you, do you't me falling asleep. Did he call you Haas in this video? Is there audio? Oh, is there audio? You're talking. Do you have me turned up? Turn me up. Yeah, I do. It's not working. You don't look your best.

It took me one look at the thumbnail to just know that Randy was an absolute hell. Did you sleep the entire flight? I was in and out. You watch some anime. It I watched some arcane on on Netflix. It's probably one of my favorite shows. One of my season season two is coming out.

I was rewatching as one show is like I actually want to rewatch before I a hug over rewatch on a plane is never a bad move. If you're that hungover, it's like, no, I need something. I don't need to pay attention to. I usually just do a long YouTube recap. I'm like, no, I want to rewatch the show. I highly recommend it. I was watching the Penguin. I was watching the Pan- I'm trying to work on my Colin Farrell Penguin.

You're getting there. More on that later. You're no, you were good, Randy, and neither of us had to pee pee on a four hour flight, three and a half hour. That's true. That's the dehydration talking. Yeah. Yeah. That's the meetup from the night before. Yeah. If I'm

sitting window seat, just know I'm I'm not going to make you get up. We'll just say that the especially if I'm sloshing through coffee, the bathroom break right before the flight. Uh oh. Okay. And that's and that's today's episode everybody. Bye. You gotta stick up for yourself.
