all right we're back circling back podcast coming to you live from the lodge my name's will to freeze to my right david ruff it's just a little bit less spooky in here you know what i mean i'm coming to terms with it like it's weird looking at a monitor and not seeing a ghoulish skeleton or a terrifying spider caught up in a web. Don't cry because it's over, man. Smile because it happened. That's what they said. You know what?

We had fun. We did lose a lot of flavor in here, though. You know? Just wait, though. I wish we had more flavor. The next season is approaching. We need more gourds. The next holiday, I should say.

Didn't you say you were going to come in this weekend and put your tree up? No, I didn't. But I do think we should get a tree for the office. A little guy. Maybe four, five feet. Something like that. Now, go big or go home? You want to go, I don't know, it's a small room.

We can remove one of the tiles, maybe the one that Brett punctured. Yep. You want to go full Clark Griswold. Right behind Will. I just don't know if we have the room, honestly. Well, maybe. Yeah, Sally was going through some shopping for trees yesterday, and I don't think she realized that the taller it gets, the wider it gets at the bottom most of the time.

Typically, it works that way, yeah. Yeah, when she found one that would essentially be touching our ceiling, she didn't realize that we literally had nowhere to put it. So I was like, yeah, I don't think this is going to work. We're going to have to get rid of our TV. Man. Well. How hard do you want to celebrate? Not hard enough to get rid of a TV.

We should talk about when it's appropriate to pull out the Christmas decorations. You know? No one's talking about that. We could be like ground floor. Dude, I'm freaking pulling mine out as soon as possible.

Dude, no. You gotta give Thanksgiving its time, man. No way. Think about it. Dude, pizza is also good. As is red wine. Tacos.

Love cheese. Fucking tacos. I love tacos. They're bae. Right. Well, queso is an argument. Oh, good point. Queso I love tacos they're bae right well queso as an argument oh good point queso is on taco double bae Mike Breen voice right right I dropped Stella off at the vet this morning she's getting spayed today and you, you know, surgery. She's really grown up.

She's really grown up. But soon she'll be able to sleep around and not have to worry about getting pregnant. She's all grown up. It's going to be good for her. Just what? Say what you were saying earlier. What?

I didn't say anything else. The word spade has always... I always mix them up. I always say... I started saying Randy's procedure. And it was mainly because I didn't want to mess them up. I didn't want to say spade. They're like, what?

Females against spade. That got driven into me. The difference just got driven into me just from Price is Right alone. Bob Barker. Get your pets spayed or neutered right yeah and for i never knew which one but him saying it so many times i always had to mentally go through the process of like all right space for female he truly championed that cause he did is he alive i think he is alive i think he is alive let's just send some positive thoughts her way guys all right and bob barker's yeah bob barker might her way, guys, all right? And Bob Barker's. Yeah, Bob Barker might need some, too.

Holy shit. He's 96. What happened to Bob Barker? Nothing. He's just 96. He's just old. Yeah. Oh.

It always bothered me when the models, the ladies, he called them the beauties, and it always creeped me out, which I know maybe back then it wasn't as creepy, but now looking back, it's like, man, that was creepy. It made it extra creepy for some reason because his microphone was like, I don looking back, it's like, man, that was creepy. It made it extra creepy for some reason because his microphone was, I don't know, 18 inches long. Dude, that was tight. What's the deal with that mic? Why is that so creepy? That's not.

It's just funny. It's like Marilyn Manson on stilts. It's just creepy. Unnecessarily long. Yeah, get out of here. Yeah. If you put together a highlight reel of all Bob Barker's creepiest moments on Price is Right, I guarantee he'd get Me Too'd and then die the next day.

Oh, for sure. And like... Those... Yeah, the models are just treated like pieces of meat up there. They've got male models now. I know. They've got some real hunks. Kings can pimp out bottles of detergent too now.

They're absolute hunks. One of them, she might have retired, but she's married to one of my all-time favorite Rangers, David DeLucci. Really? In relation to Ben DeN Rangers, David DeLucci. Really? Any relation to Ben DeLucci? Ben DeLucci, no. Oh, okay. Close, though.

Man, just honk city up there now with those dudes. Yeah, just slabs of bees. Drew Carey's just looking hot as fuck. Those Dodge Darts, whatever they're pushing up there. Ford Fiesta. Those cars that cost like $11,000 brand new. I love those. Those cars that cost like $11,000 brand new.

I love those. There's nothing more tense and awkward than somebody's Showcase Showdown package is just garbage and they show them and they're like doing the Miami Dolphin fan at the draft. They're like, okay, I'm going to pass this. It's like, cool, yeah. I'm not keeping it. It's like, yeah. West Palm Beach. A trip to Ohio.

Cool. Man, jet skis are tight. However, I am in a wheelchair. Yeah. It always matches up where it's just like an old lady. It's like, man, she's not going to need the four-wheeler. Yeah. It's like an elderly woman from Nebraska who came in.

It was on her bucket list to be on The Price is Right. And they're like, and now you have a pontoon boat. And it's like, well, what the fuck am I supposed to do with this in Nebraska? I don't have a truck to tow it. That show is awesome, though. It's a great show. Yeah. Didn't Cat Pat' brother win?

Win? He was on it. He was at least in the Showcase Showdown. Wow. No. Dude, no. She's going to Texas. It ended in some crazy way.

I think the other person went over and he won everything. Yeah, it was either that or the other person might have hit within the amount where they win both. I could be way wrong. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I think something weird did happen. You're correct in that.

I just don't have the actual knowledge. What's going on out there? I don't know. There are people just hovering right outside our door. Is that one dude? Do they want the smoke? What one dude? There's a dude?

Someone trying to run up? One of them looks really tall. Yeah, there's a... If he wants me to chop his ass down, I will. There's a lad who likes to go into the bathroom on speakerphone while he's on hold. If they're listeners, they can just get this episode for free. If it was a Patreon episode, I'd get why he might linger. So, a sports radio station I frequent?

A ticket? They will occasionally have listeners sit in on a show? So, a sports radio station I frequent, I take it. They will occasionally have listeners sit in on a show. I did that on the Bobby Bones show when it was in Austin. Is that not awkward as hell for the hosts? Like, I would be, if there was a dude, I know we have a small studio, but let's say it was bigger. Let's say that was part of it, too. And, like, where KJ is sitting right now, they're just watching us do this.

Apparently, they do it all the time, so it to handle it. They do it all the time. So it's just like they've just gotten used to it. But, yeah, if there were two people sitting here just listening, like five feet from me, I'd be like, there you go. We had a girl who wanted to do her bachelorette party. They were coming to Austin, and they were like, can we sit in on a show? We're like, no. We could set up some stadium seating outside that window right there. Just some bleachers. That way we couldn't actually talk to them, but they could just check it out.

We could have a speaker broadcasting it through the wall or something. I have an announcement to make. Uh-oh. I didn't fade the music out. Well, I faded it, but it ran its course today. Let's go. How long does that track go? Not sure.

I think two and a half minutes. That's awesome. People like it sometimes. Let's go. How long does that track go? Not sure. I think two and a half minutes. That's awesome. People like it sometimes. People wanted it. Do you guys want to do the Bob Barker net worth? Okay. His profession is listed as a game show host, television producer, actor, presenter, fighter, pilot. 78 million.

So fighter and pilot or fighter pilot? Yeah, yeah. I thought it was going to be fighter, fighter, fighter pilot, but it's just fighter pilot. So he's no fighter. He did not participate in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. So he served in the military? He did, yes. In World War II, fighter pilot in the Navy.

How about that? Yeah. Yeah, I said 78 million. You said 78? 15 million. 15? Mm-hmm. I'm going to say 38 million. You said 78? 15 million. 15? Mm-hmm. I'm going to say 38 million.

Dylan Chevery. Yes, let's go. 70 million. I don't believe it. How can Luda be worth so little and Bob Barker worth so much? Dude, longevity. No. His salary.

Luda's been around my entire life. He did that TV show for like 90 years. Five decades. I know, but money back then wasn't worth anything. It was like what? What was his salary when he started? Like $30,000? Maybe?

It's hard to say. That was when the dollar had value. Bob Barker's salary from 1997 to 2007 was $10 million. There we go. That makes sense. Damn. That actually does make sense. He was also unhappy at Gilmore.

I don't know if you remember. He beat him up. He probably got paid handsomely for that. Yeah. That was tight. I kind of forgot about that. They got in a fistfight on the golf course. Fist to cuffs?

Yeah. Also noted a live guy. Bob Parker. Shouts for being alive, Bob. Yeah, shouts for not being deceased. 96. Before we get into it today,

make sure to go follow Circling Back Pod on the Grom. Get me on the groove! Leave a review and five-star rating. This week we've got a weird Patreon schedule, guys, with The Bachelor debuting,

We're just doing live election coverage tomorrow all day. Yeah, we're going live on Twitch. It's honestly pretty

sad that spooky season is no more until next year. I'm sad about it. Rest in peace so yeah weird patreon it's it's not it's gonna be a double double feature on friday but hey it'll be back to normal the week after also twitch twitch.tv slash watch media every tuesday thursday and friday 12 15 around then lunchtime we're hopping on also can i give a special announcement to one of our biggest fans out there special announcement alert happy happy 70th birthday to my a special announcement to one of our biggest fans out there? Special announcement alert. Happy 70th birthday to my mom.

She's one of Circling Back's biggest fans. She listens to every episode, unfortunately. There's some that I'd prefer she would skip. Her favorite podcast is indeed The Mail-In, but today is her 70th birthday. And to her, I wish her a happy birthday. I've got to tell you, meeting her for the first time at your wedding was maybe the highlight of the trip. I know you guys got married. It's kind of a big moment. But meeting Nancy was a big moment for me.

She loves the squad. No one loves a squad like she does. Happy birthday, Nancy. Hope it's a great one. Absolutely. Happy birthday. Is she playing golf? No, no.

What's she got going? It's a little cold up there. Unfortunately, there was a decent amount of snowfall in northern Michigan yesterday, so I don't think any of the courses are open right now. Who knows? Maybe she'll just go out and walk a few holes maybe she's gonna shoot her age october's kind of the cutoff for the for northern golf right more or less yeah mid-october was usually the end of the time you could probably go out to a course after and just walk it if you wanted to but yeah not gonna have too much fun doing that the greens are in rough shape you know it's it's tough is dead etc damn we played on uh christmas eve You know, it's tough. Grass is dead, et cetera. Damn. We played on Christmas Eve one year, though.

It was fun. Got the boys out. There you go. Y'all were just mobbing out there? It was like one of those weird, like, 65 degrees on Christmas Eve days. And you're like, this doesn't make sense. We get those here every year. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, it stinks. It stinks, baby. Hey, also, if you're mobbing with the boys like Brett was just doing, make sure to go check out Poncho. Ooh, yeah. You guys have seen Poncho all over our feed lately. That's mainly because our man's clay has just been strutting in it.

Dave's wearing a Poncho hat right now, which you can actually get for free if you go the fuck off on their website and actually buy something. Whoa. Goes both ways. People were wondering. Go to their website, pick up a shirt, throw on the hat for free with the code circling back. That's what you do.

That's how it works. People were a little confused last time. Got to say, as a guy who has trouble finding hats that fit, this hat fits my head perfectly, which is huge for me. There you go. I'm very selective. You look very handsome. These shirts are made for the outdoors. They got everything you need and nothing you don't.

Dylan, you've been strutting around your little hot ass at the ranch in this thing, right? Dude, this shirt is tight. Not like tight, like it fits tight. Like it's legit. I love the damn thing. It's lightweight. Dude, talk about the magnets. Oh, my God.

Dude, hit him with the magnet knowledge. Y'all probably never worn a shirt with magnet buttons on the chest. Have you? Probably not. Crazy technology. Well, I have because I have a poncho. How do those even work? I couldn't figure it out.

I was like, what am I doing wrong here? I've worked a button before, but this time I can't actually do it. It's because there were magnets, and I figured it out. No one's doing that. Yeah, bitch. If you have a pacemaker, though, don't wear these shirts. Is that true? Yeah. That's true? Yeah.

That's what I hear. Okay, noted. So I will say it is important that if you do the deal, the deal is if you go to ponchooutdoors.com, use promo code CIRCLINGBACK at checkout, you get a free hat with your order of a shirt. You can pick any hat you want, add it to your cart, and then use the code at checkout.

If you just add the shirt to your cart and then use the code, it's not going to work like that. You've got to put the hat in the cart. Okay? Ah. Yeah. Makes sense. Yep.

So put that hat in the cart. Use the code. It'll knock the price down. That's ponchooutdoors.com. Use code CIRCLINGBACK at checkout and get a free hat with your order. Let's recap this weekend in fun, shall we? Let's go. Dylan, what did you fucking do?

Big weekend for me and the homie specifically friday night i i think i'm trying to think back what i did i think i did nothing and it was fantastic i just chilled at the crib uh didn't do anything i had to save up the energy because saturday was halloween and it was a big weekend for us. The homie came over. Of course, he stayed with me, but his mom came over, and his grandmother and grandfather came over too, and we went trick-or-treating. Whole family dressed up as dinosaurs. Whole squad.

It was just awesome. Y'all went off. The neighborhood took care of him. He was set up with candy, man, just had a load of candy. We had a lot of fun. What's his favorite? He's really into Swedish Fish right now. That's one of the ones that he likes a lot.

He likes all the chocolate ones. Big Twix guy. Big Twix guy. Really? Good man. Great choice. Twix are great. That's different.

I feel like it's underrated in the kid community. Well, he appreciates them, Dave. Good. Which is choice. The Twicks are great. That's different. I feel like it's underrated in the kid community. Well, he appreciates them, Dave. Good. Which is nice. Yeah. Sunday, I took him to a little mini golf. Putt-putt. We went to Peter Pan Golf.

How's his touch? He's not great. And he got a little frustrated that he's not good. I was like, dude, just like anything, you've got to practice, man. Does he struggle with what I struggled with, and that's waiting for the ball to stop before you go hit it again? No. That's good.

He kept lining up his putt, and his putter face was not flat, not even. It's like, dude, it's going to shoot off to the left. He doesn't understand the open face. He has it closed off like that. Yeah, so I was like, dude, you've got to fix this. And he had to turn around and stuff, too. I got some drills I can show him. He's a child.

But we had fun. Bring him to the Swing Academy. Yeah. I got that Harvey Pinnock book, too. I can have him read. Little red book? Yep. He went to the playground.

Did you get the green and the blue ones, too? Dude, I've got, like, multiple. My father-in-law just hooks it up with books. Went to the playground in our neighborhood. Got the jungle gym off a little bit. It was tight. Okay. We got a playground in our neighborhood. Got the jungle gym off a little bit. It was tight. Okay. We got a jungle gym session off.

Jungle juice? Gym. Jungle gym. Jungle gym. That's what they're called, right? You got jungle gym off. Jungle gym. Yeah.

The other thing you hang on and shit. Monkey bars. Monkey bars. Oh, it wasn't like a dude dressed like Tarzan named Jim. Come on, dude. Oh, come on. I was thinking. Come on, man.

Grow up. Well, he's just clarifying. We have the thing that you grab and you hold up and you can slide. Oh, yeah. And it's just you're hanging. Oh. Like, it's a little bit too short for a kid version of a zip line kind of. Exactly.

Yeah. And we didn't have that growing up. No, man. We've got that now at our playground. And let me tell you, one day I'm going to use it. You could stretch your back out doing that, dude. You could. Sounds actually kind of nice just hanging from it.

I taught him how to swing solo. You know how you just shift your weight forward and back and you get it right in your shell? Squish the bug, legs going. Yeah, I taught him that whole deal. We had a big time. Put the barrel on the ball, you're saying. Well, a different kind of swing. That comes later.

Keep that right elbow tucked. You can't chicken wing. That's golf, not baseball. Yeah, you're talking golf now. We're totally off. We're still on the playground here, folks. Anyway, just a great weekend. Wow.

Daylight savings hit. Any beers? He got on the bus when it was daylight this time. Like, the sun was actually up. That was kind of exciting for him. Sun coming up hella early now. Yeah, it's crazy. Dude, that sun doesn't give a fuck.

No, it's like, what's up? I'm up. I'm mobbing. I've been up all day. Where are Yeah, it's crazy. Dude, that sun doesn't give a fuck. No. It's like, what's up? I'm up. I'm mobbing. I've been up all day. Where are y'all? Ha. Ha. I was fucking sleeping.

Damn. Anyway, now's my weekend. What'd the D-Man get into? Very cool, Dylan. I think so. What did I do? My Friday night's a blur and it shouldn't be. I didn't really do anything.

Oh, yeah, we went to El Alma, which is one of our favorite little spots. The Alma. We had a quick dinner. And then Saturday, watched a lot of sports, a lot of football, hung out at the place. Saturday night, went over to our friend's house. Had a couple couples over there. We brought the dogs.

Brought Randy over. Got to play with some other Goldens. Running around, doing what they do. Threw on the costume one more time. We did the set up the candy bowl on our front porch with the light on and leave it out. And, like, nobody, like, pooped in it. Or nobody trashed our gorge. I was very surprised

Was there any candy left? There was like two pieces left That's kind of a savvy move From the kid that stole all of it Mm-hmm You gotta leave two So they don't just like Have their night ruined

Did y'all see my pumpkin by the way? My Triceratops pumpkin? I went the fuck off I thought it was The Cincinnati Bearcat logo Stop it You know it was a Triceratops It was a perfect Triceratops

I thought it was a Harambe pumpkin You know it was a perfect Triceratops Dude Will You got any shirt ideas? Someone give me credit For's a triceratops it was a perfect harambe pumpkin you know it's a perfect dude will you got any shirt ideas someone give me crap for my triceratops i went off on that thing did did you retweet it from circling back no did somebody will i don't know thanks dude i don't know if i did to be honest i don't know if it was me i snapped sometimes i just retweet dylan just because like i'm trying to get his numbers up. He's just been bleeding followers for so long. I appreciate it.

We should probably give him a retweet right now. I like what you did with the – did you trace it on the computer? Yeah, I traced it from the screen, man, from my lappy. Yeah, you put a piece of paper over the screen and then traced it, right? That's exactly what I did. How hard was that? That was the easiest part of the whole deal. The hardest part was carving with a steak knife.

I didn't have an actual carving knife. Oh, yeah. And there were some little intricate little corners and... Crevices? Crevices, yeah. I'm just happy you have steak knives in your plane. It was a gift from my sister. Is it Cutco?

No, they're dope. They're dope. They're very nice. You got to get the Cutco. Delph will hit you up. Is he a Cutco guy? He used to be. I'm a Primeco guy.

I switched from... Motorola. I switched from Motorola. Damn. Who'd you work for? Singular. Before they were bought out by AT&T. Why is that not on your LinkedIn?

I don't have a LinkedIn. Real estate professional. Did we cut you? Dylan cut you. No, no, no. I didn't have much else. A lot of tube shoots for Halloween. Oh, yeah.

We had one of those. A lot of cool tube shoots. I was impressed. But, like, former PGP writer Ice House, Peter Hart, had a cool one. It was all tricked up. Yeah. I saw some mail in PVC pipes that, like, nobody even decorated. I was like, hmm.

We had one, and they turned, like, the air on, and it shut it out to us. I was like, hmm. We had one and they turned the air on and it shot it out to us. It was really cool. Was this just to avoid distancing? I guess I didn't put two and two together when I saw these all over the TL, but that makes total sense. Yeah. We walked up to the house and we're like, do you guys have candy? He goes, yep. Just put your bucket right there under that

pipe. I was like, alright, let's go. Like you're getting range balls. It was cool. Yeah, I thought it was cool. It was cool. Yeah, I thought that was neat. A lot of trick-or-treaters out. A lot of people mobbing. I think people were just looking for an excuse to get out

and mix it up. The weather was perfect for trick-or-treating. Fantastic. Couldn't have been better. You don't want it hot because most costumes are a little warm.

But it was cool, but not too cool. It was perfect. To where you had to wear a jacket over your skeleton costume. You could just get away with it. Then yesterday I played 14 holes of golf. Only 14 because we teed off at like 222. It got dark at 315. They still charge us the full rate, which is very cool.

Very cool. I guess that's on us. I was the fifth man in. It was a fivesome. And they were like, I was a late invitee. And they were like, hey, you want to? Yeah, fine. Late fivesome.

I'll play with five, but I don't like being the fifth. I felt like I was ruined. I felt like they would have played two more holes had I not been there. Yeah. Yeah. I will do the five if the course allows it. But if I'm the fifth, I'm usually easing out. Like, I don't know if I want to be the not been there. Yeah. I will do the five if the course allows it, but if I'm the fifth, I'm usually easing out like, I don't know if I want to be the fifth right now.

Yeah. I mean, I didn't have much of a weekend, to be honest. On Friday night, I tried something, a Dave Ruff recommendation, went to Fantasma Pizza down the street from my apartment. I have to say, it's a top pizza in Austin. My one gripe with it is that because the crust is so thin, it doesn't keep for the next day. It gets a little crumbly, I would say.

My crust was like breaking off. But fresh out of the box, like get home, slam it on the table, and just eat it. One of the best pizzas I've ever had in Austin. You got the soppressata? Wow. I don't even know what I did. I got one with a bunch of different meats on it. It was absolutely delightful.

So good that I'm actually getting it tomorrow night. Oh, hell yeah. Election night. You gotta go with the election night za. Dude, I'm gonna do za tomorrow too. I can't do it. Y'all hear about this election? Dude, how about this election we're having? I mean, just crazy stuff.

Dude, don't talk politics on here, bro. Oh, I'm sorry. Just because you're not voting this year. Yeah, sorry, I can't. It's because you're with the Russian intelligence? Right. Bitch, I voted twice. I voted more than you did.

Yeah. You can't do that. I did the mail-in. I did an absentee one. And then I also voted in person. Wow. Very cool. I'm just going to say it.

I've got gripes with both political parties. Damn, dude. Were you on the I-35 this weekend? Yeah. Were you one of the trucks? I was on it yesterday. Were you one of the Ford Rangers trying to ram that bus up and down? Why is that Ford Ranger?

You can't go do that in a Ford Ranger. You've got to at least have a lift kit on your F-150 if you're going to go try to hijack a political opponent's bus. And it's not funny, I guess. I got stuck behind an InfoWars truck recently. Folks, I saw one of those the other day. Like an armored vehicle, and there were a bunch of people sitting on top of it with a loudspeaker.

It was not the most convenient thing when you were trying to get somewhere. And, yeah, based on the amount of people yelling obscenities at them from the side of the road on South Congress, I don't think people really cared that they were promoting what they were promoting. You don't think they were changing a lot of minds? Yeah, it's weird that if you go to South Congress in Austin with a right-wing truck and ideology, that it's not gonna be well received who would have thought yeah crazy I have yet to see the uh info Wars yeah they're in a legit armored vehicle yeah sick it's

uh they storm chasing the summer kind of weird spread information in the election folks folks yeah MK Ultra look these types these types are all feds. Ridiculous. I don't do a good one. KJ's got the Alex Jones impression. Yeah. Yeah, I need to hear that still. He makes sense.

He's a large man. Saturday was for Rosie and I. Sally worked all day, so we got our chill on, watched a little soccer, watched a little college football, picked up some barbecue. I mean, it was Halloween. I guess my name is not on the Barrett Dudley invite list anymore, so I'm going to have to edit my stuff going forward. Same.

Pretty disappointing. Yeah. I'm going to have to have a conversation with Barrett real quick. What did Barrett? Oh, we were at the news. Oh. Oh, that makes more sense. Well, I guess my name's left off that, too.

Yeah. All right. Noted. Sunday was just a terrible day for me overall. Dang. We'll get to it later, but Pottery Barn fucked me in the ass. Oh, yeah, yeah. Which was tight. And then, yeah, every single team that I support managed to just completely botch it and lose.

So I just had a really, really fun Sunday of just sitting around watching teams lose. My Longhorns picked up a big dub. I should have mentioned that. I didn't even watch the end of it because I was trick-or-treating. So I had to come back to that news. Sorry, I hijacked both of y'all's shit. No, I don't care. You can talk Longhorns.

Big ups to the Longhorns, man. Ooh, double bet winner. Shout out to Sam. Let's go. Moneyline? Let's go. Moneyline and over. Let's go.

Wow. He's a gamer. A lot of people would say. Sometimes. Texas' best queso on Friday. Lupe Tortilla. Okay. You know what?

I'm not going to argue. Never had it. It's very good. Oh, really? And it better be because it's like $19. Yeah, it's placed overpriced. Who do they think they are? Extremely overpriced.

It's fucked up, honestly. I don't mind paying for their fajitas because they clearly use a high-end meat. It's a quality meat. But some of the other stuff on there, I'm like, hmm. If you're going to charge that much for your food, and the food, I admit, is very good, maybe class the place up a little bit. It feels like you're in a Chewy's when you're in there. What are you looking for exactly?

I'm just saying, if I'm going to shell out a bunch of money, I want ambiance. You know, I want to feel like I'm going to get my, I want to feel like I'm a maitre d'. It's obscene how much they charge for some stuff. You know what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying. It's just a kick in the D. It is so good. I think it's the best fajitas in Austin if you get the filet, hands down.

And it's just amazing. But, like, I don't want to pay that much for Tex-Mex. Well, and especially for we've made the mistake or we've done the flex of going for lunch, and then you're like, oh, I just had a $28 lunch. You don't really want to do that on a weekday. No. Like, I'm just trying to get something quick and get back to the office.

I could have gotten a Perry's pork Chop for $10 cheaper than this. Correct. It's kind of like getting barbecue sometimes when you're just like, man, that snuck up on me real quick. Yeah. Very good, though. Didn't you get barbecue this weekend? I did. I got Le Barbecue.

Sally had a craving, and I decided to. She doesn't often crave barbecue, so I was like, you know what? All right. Let me go get it. It was a little dry, but overall, I'm not going to have anything bad to say about Le Barbecue. They treated me well in the past, and overall, they had a pretty efficient experience there, so I'm not going to complain too much. I can tell it was the end of the day brisket, though.

Yeah. That's a real thing. Yeah. It had been sitting there for a while. Get them next time. You do anything tight besides eat $19 queso? It really was. Were you in Houston?

No, I was here. I just picked it up. That's why I didn't eat the fajitas because I don't think fajitas travel on a pickup situation. Their filet ones do just because they're so good. I was nervous about... I probably wasn't going to do the filet fajitas because I wasn't trying to drop the bag on Lupe.

I just did the chicken soft tacos. They were also very good. But they travel. Anyway, the swing journey continues. I was at the range Saturday and Sunday. We're getting there. We're getting there and working on compressing the ball more, turning that baseball swing into a golf swing.

And didn't do much else. I got a trick-or-treater at my apartment on Saturday. And I didn't have any candy. I didn't expect that. What did you do? Just like a can of soup? Give him a beer? I apologized.

Give him a paradox? I apologized. I said, man, I appreciate what you're doing here. And I just don't have any candy. Damn. And the only one. And I felt like an asshole. So I'm sorry. Dude. I don't have any candy damn and the only one and I felt I felt like an asshole so I'm sorry dude I don't think you should you live in an apartment building you don't expect yeah I wouldn't feel bad did you at least gas up his costume I did what was he I did uh he was a

ghost which I was like that kind of a low effort situation and he was by himself so it's just a play for candy how old uh probably 10 i'd say he was old enough to be like oh like what are you doing yeah but young enough to like okay nice ghost costume kid and it was like a maybe a mummy i mean he was he was like a it looked like he wrapped himself in toilet paper. Sounds like this costume sucked. It was not very good. You don't even know what it was. It was either a ghost or a mummy. So.

Yeah, I mean, it's one or the other. It's going to egg your door. Had someone come up to our door, I would have had to go in and get like the healthy candy that Sally buys.

Kids would have been walking out with Sour Blast buddies that have like one gram of sugar in them. Like, sorry dude. I got to try those. They're really mediocre and they stick to your teeth

more than regular candy, but honestly, if you're craving something sweet, it kind of does work. Yeah. It does hit, hit it a little bit, but overall,

I just... I'm gonna have to slowly steal Parker's candy away and just throw it away. His teeth are gonna rot out. He got so much, man. Dude cleaned up. You wanna bring some

to the office? Yeah, if you can steal some Laffy Taffys or anything. You wanna shake that Laffy Taffy? A little bit. I love me some grape Laffy Taffy. can steal some like Laffy Taffys or anything. You want to shake that Laffy Taffy? A little bit. I love me some grape Laffy Taffy.

He did get some Laffy Taffy. If it's banana, throw that shit out. Dude, I love banana. We talk a lot. You can have the banana.

Fucking crazy. You like the banana flavored ones? What's your favorite Jolly Rancher? Ooh, maybe grape. Maybe cherry. Is it cherry?

Yeah. I don't know. I don't eat many Charlie Ranchers. I'm a watermelon guy. Always have been. It's really good. It's really good. I got to gas up Barrett real quick because when he found out that I was,

I was like, yeah, I'm going to, he's like, are you wearing your costume over to the news? And I was like, no. And then I was like, you know what? I'm going to wear it, whatever. He's like, oh, shit, I don't have one. I'm going to go to the costume box. I was like, and then i was like you know i'm gonna wear it whatever he's like oh shit i don't have one i'm gonna go to the costume box i was like okay he has a costume box in his house he's kept every costume he's ever worn since like college and he threw on a tiger king a joe exotic that was the best one i saw hands down so yeah he just threw that was

like 15 different costumes combined like he even had temporary tattoos in the costume box. I'm like, who keeps this shit? Based on how Barrett's talked about his, like, closet in the past and how he has to rotate stuff out and put in his storage unit and things like that, it makes sense that he would have a fucking costume box that he can just, like, pull out and have a topical costume for any time of year. Does he really have a storage unit? He told me one time he had a storage unit.

He had to go there and get his winter clothes or something. And I was like, are you serious? Dude, that makes sense. You don't host Club Cool without having a storage unit. It's true. It's true. That is kind of a flex. I hear he has one just so he can keep all his Cuts clothing in there.

Are you guys familiar with this brand? Am I? Very much so. For better or for worse, 2020 has kicked off the work-from-home era. And everyone is asking one big question. What are you supposed to wear? Do you really need to wear a tie for your Zoom meeting? Probably not.

But sweatpants and your go-to gym tee don't feel right either. Cuts clothing is the perfect solution for your work-from-home wardrobe confusion. Cuts is the best in the world at making technical apparel for the sport of business. Because as everyone knows, business is a sport. Always has been. Always will be.

Their t-shirts, polos, and hoodies have enough quality and style to wear in the office on a date or anywhere in between so you don't have to choose between a classic look and a modern feel. We've all tried this stuff. We've gotten it in the mail. I have to say, their fabric is one of the softest fabrics I've ever felt for a t-shirt. Fits perfectly well, and it's just crazy soft. They're all about fit, fabric, and function, Dylan.

Cuts was started in 2016 by making what GQ calls the only shirt worth wearing. You guys know what GQ stands for? Gentlemen's Quarterly. Does that come out more often? Did not know that. Yeah, it's monthly now. They should probably call it GM. But they know their shirts, and if they're repping cuts,

then that's all you really need to know. The only shirt you need to own. Athletic, tailored, perfect for work, a date, or everything in between, with their custom-engineered, wrinkled-free pika. It's a pro-frat fabric that can only be described as buttery soft. And shopping by cut makes it so easy to find your perfect shirt. A great mix of long-sleeve, short- short sleeve, collars, cuts, and collars. We'll have you ready for any situation.

They spent four years developing this stuff for their new polos and hoodies. Four years? I don't spend four years doing anything. Essentially went to college just to make these things. You've got to think they're fire. I love the hoodies, man. The French terry fabric. Mwah.

Chef's kiss. So comfy. My house is very cold at night, and I just am constantly just laying around in it. You got to be. Got to be. Got to be. Cuts is loved by your favorite athletes, entrepreneurs, and even podcast hosts. It seems like everyone is wearing Cuts these days, so get 15% off your first order by going to cutsclothing.com slash steam.

Randy's already blushing over there. Randy's real nervous right now. As you guys know, we hired Randy back before the pandemic was a real thing. March. No one is hiring new employees to do video in a studio only to record from home for months

on end. Didn't we like shut down or like the day his first day, like we shut down the studio? If it wasn't the first day, it was the first week after we hired Randy. Randy had yeah, he... His first day was, we planned it so he would start for our South By

Party. Correct. Because he was going to do some videoing there. And that was canceled. Well, I guess you can start anyway. Correct. Because he was going to do some videoing there. And that was canceled. Well, I guess you can start anyway, whatever. And here he is. Yeah. And his job just consisted of just sitting at home and watching us podcast and tossing it on. Randy, welcome to the pod.

Great to be here. He's doing his editing and on the pod all at once right now. So, yeah. What a guy. This is the first time I've done it. I did it on a Patreon episode, too. Go find that somewhere. On Patreon.

Yeah. Patreon.com slash Shookling Back Pod. Randy, are you nervous that we're going to do the Randy Starter Pack right now? I wasn't ready, but... What do you need to be ready for? You know, being kind of hunched over is kind of... Oh, let's not complain, all right? No, I'm ready to go.

You're the center of attention. Well, let's go. Embrace it. Let's start this. I know me, but do you know me? That's the real question. That's the thing. I'm ready to go. You're the center of attention. Well, let's go. Embrace it. Let's start this. I know me, but do you know me? That's the real question. That's the thing. I'm interested to see what we've missed.

I wish we had one of Randy's longtime friends here to be like, I mean, those are pretty good, but he's also really into this random thing. It's like, wait, what? Yes. All right, Randy, starter pack. I'll start off. The first one I have on here is a leather jacket. He does like a good leather jacket.

I feel like the first 20 times I hung out with Randy, he had on a leather jacket. Wore it quite well, so props for that. I wore it to one meetup. That's the only time I've ever worn it. Yeah, but when you wear a fit to a meetup, that's a fit that you want remembered. I've seen you in a leather jacket so many times. You were a leather jacket guy after Chicago. You were?

I'm just trying to find a comfortable way how to edit this while I'm doing this. Thank you. Wow, I guess I need to add complaining to my list. Yeah, complaints nonstop. Just give Brett the mic. It's on my list. Anybody else want to jump in? Yeah, Kohl's.

Kohl's. He loves Kohl's cash. This fucking dude is so horny for Kohl's. I love Kohl's. What's up with Kohl's cash? It's like the best thing ever. You spend money, then you get money to spend back in the store. Oh, my gosh.

It's his cryptocurrency. If you could, like, freely exchange Kohl's cash, Randy would be the happiest person in the world. Yeah. You guys think he talks about it a lot here. The first time I think he hopped in with KJ and I to play Warzone, we talked about Kohl's for like six minutes. He was just like, yeah, I went to Kohl's today. And he just starts touting Kohl's. Like, do you have ownership in the company?

Like, what is this? No, but I am a most valued customer. It says on my Kohl's credit card. So, maybe I'll pay for a second. You have a Kohl's. Like, do you have ownership in the company? Like, what is this? No, but I am a most valued customer. It says it on my Kohl's credit card. So, I didn't know about that for a second. You have a Kohl's credit card. I have a Kohl's credit card. It's like a $200 limit or something? No.

I think it's actually like an $800 limit, but let me tell you. Let's go. Great deals. You get 40% off in the mystery, oh, you are swimming in it. The Kohl's cash that is. Okay, let's calm down. Chill out, dude. If Kohl's wants to sponsor me personally, I will swimming in it. The Cole's cash that is. Seriously. Chill out, dude. If Cole wants to sponsor me personally, I will definitely take it.

I have another one unless you want to jump in here, Will. Go ahead. Napkin origami. Oh, I had origami on my list as well. So you know when you're kind of getting to know somebody and you finally get real drunk with them for the first time and you find out what they're really about, like really like, you know? Noam, former PGP writer, he wrote a column one time that was so accurate it's just

that you can't be best friends with somebody until you get absolutely obliterated with them like i've only known randy from like meetups and then working here which is you know we're always sober and he's being as professional as he can be i guess but dave sometimes we went out for for brett's one year and, and we got ripped. And I met Drunk Randy for the first time, and Drunk Randy is an origami guy. Not just origami, but origami with a purpose, and that purpose is wooing the waitress? Yeah, he was the waitress. He made her an origami rose or some shit.

And then he did the fortune teller origami thing, which honestly did not see that. Like, Randy, any cool points we had walking in here are just all gone at this point. You didn't end up getting her number, did you? Did I respect the Japanese art of origami? I mean, it's okay. But, you know, it was just a weird time to pull it out. Not pull it out.

So all my doubt, turn it inside out. Sorry. I don't know. I guess I just get really finicky. This whole pandemic thing, if I'm out at a bar, I just like going on adventures and stuff. But if I'm just stuck at a table, I'm just going to play with the stuff in front of me. I'll start stacking cups, doing origami. Do you just refer to going out to bars as going on adventures? Yeah's just a bar no like i'll just like go walk around the bar

maybe i'll go into the next bar and come back i don't know just do whatever i want do some frat lap man that's such an adventure frat lap yeah frat lap yeah sometimes you gotta frat lap the bar and see where see where all the talent i have a good frat lap we've done that in a minute we used to do those all the time yeah be like all right we got to do a frat lap around this place and see what we're missing the adventures of randy is just randy going to like two bars and going home at night okay yeah there's a lot of people out there tell me about your adventure laps are the one thing that's truly like been the most devastating part at covid dude frat laps are tight it's like yeah you can't do frat laps anymore because you have to stay at your table at restaurants i've also referred to doing a lap in a parking lot

as a frat lap just to like check out the vibe before you actually decide to park. Well, the way people used to refer it was just when you'd just drive around the campus and just blast music and peacock. Like, oh, fucking Will with the frat lap. I mean, I wouldn't frat lap. I don't think, yeah, the Subaru didn't really have that kind of swag. It did. I have homemade burritos.

Thank you for bringing that up. Had one this morning. Yeah, I know. Yeah, we smelled it. Every morning, Randy brings in a giant homemade burrito in foil. Yeah, it's Chipotle burrito-sized. I guess I assumed that he got those somewhere. No.

He didn't make them at home. He's making them. Hence the over-the-top sulfur smell that gets me every time I walk in. Question. That might just be me tooting before you get in. Those are your toots. Do you have special, like, extra large tortillas

for your burrito? They're just burrito-sized burritos. It's tortilla shells. What brand are you going with? Are those Mission? Tortilla shells. I don't know. The ones that just buy one,

get one free at Randall's. It's also a great store. Yeah, Randall's actually should be on your thing. Yeah. Yeah, put Randall's on there. You act like I don't have a Randall's Remarkable Rewards card. It's a tier three grocery store. Everyone who shops there has one of those. Randall's is a be on your thing. Yeah, put Randall's on there. You act like I don't have a Randall's Remarkable Rewards card.

It's a Tier 3 grocery store. Everyone who shops there has one of those. Randall's is a scam, by the way. I hope you know that. I saved $65 today. Because they make you join to get regular pricing. So if you're just a casual, like, I want to go in and get some milk in a pinch, you get, like, upcharged if you don't join their stupid fucking club.

I can't stand it. You get rewards points. Which is free to join. It doesn't matter. Like, they make you jump through hoops just to get regular pricing. Yeah, I don't want one of those. I don't want a Randall's thing on my keys every day that I have to look at. No, you can punch in your phone number.

But that's kind of a beating, too. But, like, how is Walgreens not done away with that? Walgreens is the only place where, like, I still have to punch in my number. Why can't you just tell your number to the person working and have them do it? I'm trying to touch as little as possible. Dude, like, I got a brand-new credit card, and it's got the – I can just tap it. Yeah, it's great. It's so great.

It's great. I've been just charging my little dick off. Do you know they – like, so when we went to Scotland – Those have been around for a minute, dude. When we went to Scotland and England, like, that's all they do. If you go to the bar and you order a drink All they do is just hand you the thing And you tap it and you leave

And the first time a guy did it to me I was like I don't know where to put my card And he looked at me like I was the dumbest person on earth Oh mate tap your card You fucking fool You freak What's the guy's scepter Scepter's from Atlanta isn't? Didn't we figure that out?

He's not actually British. Brett nods, yes. I forgot he doesn't have a mic. That doesn't sound right at all. When you check out, they're like, oh, you saved $5.78 today. Oh, actually, no. I just didn't get ripped off like anyone else would. About 20 cents off at the pump per gallon.

You've got gas rewards, bro. Wait, so was that the opposite of 21 Savage, that guy, then? Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I think Brett's confused, or this is a bit that I am just nodding on. I feel like we've got another one ready. Skepta's from Atlanta. I just said that. Right?

Is that right? Hold on. London on the track is from Atlanta. I think Skepta's British. I thought you said they were the same person earlier. No, no, no. You're backtracking. Sorry.

Skepta's absolutely from the UK. And London on the track is from Atlanta. Do you understand where my confusion's coming from? Yes, I do. We talked about two supposedly British rappers this morning. Only one of them. London on the track is a different human. Right.

Okay. His name is actually London, which is why it gets confusing. Oh, makes sense. But he's London from Atlanta, London on the track. Skepta is from the UK. Okay. Officially. Noted.

Noted. Shout out to all our skeptics out there. I could steam on Reynolds about this. Yeah, let me just piggyback off Will. It's like, I don't know what You're doing for your eggs And how What are you doing

Like three per burrito Is it three or four It's three Just fried up And then Some shredded cheese Some bacon bits And just wrap that up

Okay Which I respect The breakfast burrito The breakfast taco All of that I just I guess maybe it's because I don't ever make mine at home And bring it into work, but it is, it's, it's so smelly. I've never smelled

eggs that are this sulfur. It's like somebody dropped a stink bomb in high school and everybody's freaking out. And I know it's my hypersensitive nose, but it's crazy. Like the sulfur smell. I don't get that at all. Like I have not, it not – maybe once I was like, oh, what's that smell? And it was like that. But I think you just have a much better sense of smell than me. I walked in today. That's trash. When Randy walked in today, I was like, oh, yeah, he's an egg boy.

It's burrito time, baby. Randy also likes cheap beer and or stouts. Like I said, macro brews and chain stores. That's my whole persona and also my new country album. Macro brews and chain stores. The other night we went to easy tiger for some beers in lab time and randy looked at the the beer menu and was just like god like there's just i don't want anything on here he just wanted like a cheap beer which he ended up getting a pbr that took what 30 minutes to get there too long that was cool and then yeah he wanted a stout but the only stout they had had

a coffee in it so that was a deal breaker. I was like, I don't know what to do for you, Randy. I have another one for Randy. Meetups. I know he only went to, like, maybe two of them, but I think it feels like he went to seven of them. I don't know why. Three.

You went to three of them? Yeah, Chicago was the first one we met. I remember the Chicago one. I just kept hearing, like, oh, yeah, Randy. Like, who the fuck's this Randy guy? And then he was, like, in the first one. I remember the Chicago one. I just kept hearing, oh, yeah, Randy. Who the fuck is this Randy guy? And then he was in the Austin one out of nowhere. I thought he lived in Chicago. I was like, no, I just moved here.

He just kept showing up at meetups, man. I talked to Randy for a significant amount of time at the Chicago meetup. No, in full disclosure, I don't remember you from the Chicago meetup, and I'm sorry to say that. Wow. You didn't talk to anybody at that one. I talked to everybody. I think that was my problem. I talked to too many people. I couldn't remember. Dave, did you remember Randy from the Chicago meetup, and I'm sorry to say that. Wow. You didn't talk to anybody at that one. I talked to everybody. I think that was my problem.

I talked to too many people. I couldn't remember. Dave, did you remember Randy from the Chicago meetup? No. I actually did. No, he did not. I knew you were there. No.

I remember Randy. But I don't remember meeting you there. Randy, and there's a guy from Baylor, and I thought Randy was the guy from Baylor. Yeah, and Micah's way in. You thought, oh, you're the Baylor guy. Randy shows up to the Austin meetup, surprise, surprise, in a leather jacket, and you start shit-talking me. I was like, okay, Randy.

Love that. That's when I made the colorblind test that said, what's Dylan's deal? You made the colorblind test right before that meetup. He would come in with bits, pre-done bits for a meetup. That was very Randy FM. What about shitty punk rock? Oh, yeah. I just imagine Randy coming to work every day listening to Simple Plan, New Found Glory.

If the lead singer has a whiny voice, then Randy's matching that button. This is 100% accurate. That's all I have to really say about it. I came into the office one day, and Randy was playing a really old Blink-182 song. So I was like, all right, we can probably, we can build on this.

And then like, it went to the next song and it was like, oh, now we're in trouble. It was bad. When did your Blink fandom start?

What album? I don't know. Just when my older brother was listening to it. Okay. So. I mean, he didn't,

he didn't encounter Blink like we did. Right. That's why I'm curious. Like, was he Enema of the State? Was he Dude Ranch? Was he early?

No way he was Dude Ranch. He was probably self-titled. Cheshire Cat. I was more just listening in my brother's car while he was driving around. So I don't know what I was. How old is your brother? He's a couple months younger than Will, my oldest brother. Cool, dude.

Call me old. Yeah, okay. Damn, dude. What's your problem, dude? You could have just given us a number. Will's being nice over here 33 thank you god we're just old as shit um thank you just midway just midwest hard on yeah this guy is just so midwest when he got his boots too i've got boots on here i have boots on here i have new boots scooting on here this dude this dude loves boots.

It's weird to me, being from Indiana and living in Chicago, he moves here and he's got more Wranglers and boots than I do. It's kind of weird. No fur on those boots. Yeah, no fur. Well, but for being such a Midwest guy, he absolutely hates Midwest weather. He told me the other day, and I quote, that his dream scenario is him sitting on his patio in over 100 degree heat drinking a pina colada no shirt that's no shirt that sounds terrible that's

what he wants to be doing yeah do you remember i guess you don't do it anymore but like you were riding your bike to work right or something not here but i mean i i worked for jimmy johns i rode my bike every day and he was like we would we would be bitching about the heat because it's very hot in Texas at times. And Randy would be like, no, I love this. It's perfect. That's crazy. We're like, dude, what? Mm-hmm.

This isn't on my list, but just really bad White Sox swag that he wears sometimes. He's got like the worst t-shirts. Just Chicago sports in general. He's got like an absurd varsity jacket for the Bears. He's got some cool Bears stuff. I'll give him that. You think the Bears stuff outweighs the White Sox? Yeah, the jacket he wore last week, I guess, was pretty tight.

As being someone that hates every team in Chicago, I can at least admit that the Bears gear has the most swag because they've got the best branding. Bears have great logo, great colors. It's nearly impossible to make White Sox stuff look cool. Yeah. It's just always going to be in that old script, and it's just weird. Yeah.

I mean, Dr. Dre makes it look pretty cool when he wears a hat. Yeah, Dr. Dre is a billionaire. You just don't meet many White Sox fans. Dude, no offense. Dr. Dre is way cooler than you. Yeah. If we could trade you for Dr. Dre right now, I would do that heads up, no questions asked. Chance the Riper.

Ever heard of him? They both produce. True. Kind of. True. Do you think Dr. Dre knows how to work his dell laptop that we got randy there's no doubt he's probably built one from scratch very possible um i also have on here twitch setup because without him we would never get on twitch i don't there's no doubt

do it oh like before before we record every day there's always like it's like hey so like for twitch what are we doing this it's like and then we're in here like hey randy can you uh get in the other room and set twitch up for us and it's funny because if you look at we might have to take a picture of this and post it at some point he has labeled and numbered like all the inputs and outputs and like where like where you plug this into that and all this shit i still am clueless very necessary he was he's our twitch setup is the opposite of simple i feel like he'd spent like three hours one day just like fill it like writing on little tape and putting it on the it's it's pretty funny um most importantly i've got this one uh

dude is just super horny for fast internet he's uploading and downloading like crazy actually Actually, quadrupled. Dude, quadrupling the upload speed. Wow. He loves it. He loves uploading at an alarming rate. I have that on my list, too. Cannot stop uploading. Yeah.

I'm trying to see what else I have. The only thing I have that's outstanding right now is T-Bone Steaks. Oh, yeah. T-Bone loves a T-Bone. Big T-Bone guy. Oh, and big pun guy. Randy likes a good pun. Randy likes a good pun. I love a good pun.

He also – The pun is usually intended. He likes wholesome humor. Yes. Big wholesome humor guy, which I appreciate. Yeah, and I do appreciate that. I don't want a bunch of dick jokes and stuff like that. If I can get some real, like, good G-rated jokes from Randy, I feel good about that.

Who's got jokes that you tell at, like, summer Christian camp when you're, you know, 13? He would crush being a camp counselor. Yes, absolutely. Oh about that. Who's the jokes that you tell at, like, summer Christian camp when you're, you know, 13? He would crush being a camp counselor. Yes, absolutely. Oh, that would be good. He would also – did we talk about this on one of the Bachelorette ones? He would absolutely crush as a Bachelorette contestant. Like his intro. His intro, he would be a memorable intro.

What would you do? This is what I would do. I would get out, look her dead in the eyes, take a one- two step swag step, get a one, two, three sprint, boom. Hit my Heelys, roll up right to her. What's a swag step? I am scooting up to her on Heelys. Are you sure? That driveway is not very flat.

And it's also sopping wet. Yeah. Yeah, that's a broken neck waiting to happen. But if I pull it off. What's a swag step? You just. You wouldn't know. I'm looking hot.

You know, you just. Just taking a regular step and you just throw a lot of swag into it? Yeah, exactly. I thought it was like an actual dance move or something. Yeah, I'll do the stanky leg up to her. Do the stanky leg. That'd be tight. You would make it like at least three weeks in The Bachelorette.

Yeah, you're like the funny guy that she like vibes with on a friend level but she doesn't you know want to take it further i've been told them a lot like everybody knows like this dude she asked you for like secrets of the house like you know you rat on the other guys like hey uh man carl's a real dick dude terrence was talking about all the girls you used to hook up with i just thought you should know i don't think he's here for the right reason just looking out for you you know know. I care about you. Thank you so much. Nah, that wouldn't be me. I wouldn't be the snake. I would start telling her, like, really

dumb stuff about each other. Like, yeah, dude, he just kind of snores, and it's a little annoying. He's really gassy. Dude, Paul's got, he's got skid marks, dude. Oh, you can't call it a guy in the bachelor for skid marks. That's just me. I just thought you should know Paul. Paul has a double dick.

I know. She needs to know about that probably. Oh, man. What else we got? The only thing I can think of that we're missing is like his celebrity lookalikes because I feel like Randy has several. Oh, Scott Kahn. Yeah. He's Scott Kahn.

I'm just an average looking brown hair, brown eyed, white guy. I look like everyone. You don't look like everyone. You look like Scott Conn. You get Scott Conn comparisons. You get Gosling comparisons. You get – there's one more that I'm forgetting. I've got Reynolds.

Breckin Meyer. Is that the guy from Road Trip? Clueless. And Clueless. Yeah. And Rat Race. Most notably from Franklin and Bash, for sure. Great show. Oh, man. That for sure great show oh man

that was a good show man I loved it dude they just they played by their own rules the bad boys of lawyers yeah the law I watched bad boys

whatever forever the other day you guys watch that? the newest one? yeah I heard it's not very good it wasn't. Really?

Yeah. That bums me out. That's a bum. I like the bad boys. Total bums, man. What you gonna do when they come for you, you know?

Bad boys, bad boys. Do we have anything else for Randy's starter kit? Brad, you got anything? I think we covered it. That was a solid canvassing of Randy Trumbacki. Cheap beer is one of them.

I've gone out with Randy a few times. We'll be drinking cocktails, and Randy's like, I'll have a Miller High Life. Or equivalent. Yeah, Randy does not like having beers that are nice. Randy's a goofy guy. What did Randy get at my one-year dinner? A T-bone. You got a Manhattan?

Oh, that's right. That was unbelievable. He was really stepping out of his comfort zone. He got like three different cocktails to test the water. We got a bottle of Camus and Randy goes, no, I'm good. It's like, no, dude, drink this. I don't drink wine. We spent way too much money on this wine, Randy. Just have a glass, please. He really rosted at that dinner. He's like, oh, you're picking up the tab?

Guys, I'm going to branch out. Yep. I'm going to try some shit. I'm going to get crazy. Yeah. I forgot about the Manhattan. Didn't you have two? I remember being like, dude, you handle your liquor fairly well. But then he started doing origami at the table.

Yeah. Come to find out. Oh, man. There's a price for that. We're taking him to Arby's. Oh, was it Chili's for his one year? Where have we gone? Oh, really?

Brandy, you don't have a mic. Cheesecake? No, no. We were originally going to go to a Chili's and get kicked out off margaritas, get asked to leave. But I think I want to go to Dave and Buster's. I've never been to one. Really? We're not in pandemic.

Yeah, we can't do pandemic Dave and Buster's. It'll be in March. We got to March. It'll be in March. It'll be fine. I don't know. I heard that we're getting a vaccine in a couple weeks. That's what I was told in a debate.

See, Randy's got jokes, man. Randy's got jokes. He's got jokes. Yeah, we're bringing the homie if you go there. If he finds out, if I come home with, like, Dave and Buster's tickets or tokens, whatever. He gonna know? He's gonna be like, what the fuck? He won't say that, but he'll be pretty upset with me.

That was fun. Always is. Good stuff, Randy. Way to go, Randy. All right, before we get into the closing points of this week's episode, make sure to go check out Postmates.

If you're like us, you start thinking about what to eat for dinner while you're eating lunch. Oh, yeah. This morning, I was walking out of the place and I was like, so what are we doing for dinner tonight, Sally? I was already thinking about it.

Hadn't even had lunch. Hadn't even had breakfast at that point. You don't cook tonight. You should Postmate something. Dude, I love food, but sometimes getting into my kitchen and cooking something delicious to eat just doesn't make it onto my to-do list, which is why I've been loving Postmates.

And a Postmate will drop it off for you right outside your front door. I did something I haven't done in a while, or maybe ever.

I was here at the office, knew I had to go home, but had a limited amount of time on Friday. Postmated something to my home, and when I got home, it was there waiting for me. Wow. I was like, dude, I just, two birds, one stone. You crushed that. I absolutely did. What kind of bird? Did you get chicken wings? No, it was a chicken sandwich, two birds, one stone. You crushed that. I absolutely did. What kind of bird? Did you get chicken wings?

Hey, what's up with this Sausage King? Oh, the Sausage King of, where is he from again? Is he Russian? Yeah, he's from Russia. A Russian oligarch nicknamed the Sausage King has been murdered with a crossbow inside a sauna, according to investigators. Vladimir Marugov, I believe.

Marugov. Marugov. It says he's been murdered with a crossbow, investigators say. Marugov and his partner were in an outdoor sauna cabin when they were attacked, reportedly by two masked assailants. The woman managed to escape through the window and call the police, I feel like being a Russian oligarch is a risky proposition. You're always at risk of either being crossbowed, poisoned by the Kremlin potentially. Who's using a crossbow? Great question.

This is why I don't think it's a hit, a KGB hit, because they're more of like a long-term suffering type deal. Like tie you to a tree and pull your limbs. Or poison you. Just give you like radioactive particles or whatever. Radioactive. That's the one. Maybe it was Abe Froman who got them. Competing sausage players, you know?

Nothing? Maybe it was you. You were looking for glizzy supremacy. I don't think that's what it is, David. Don't think I'm tied to this one at all. Are you sure? What were you doing this weekend? Don't think I'm linked.

Get it? Sausage links? Bang! You did it. I did it. I did it think I'm linked. Get it? Oh! Sausage links. Oh! Bang! You did it. I did. Or, if you're also an oligarch, like, Putin might just take, nationalize your industry. Just take it on. Like, so I

just feel like that, yes, the millions and millions of dollars has its perks. Such as an outdoor sauna. Super dope. Sounds tight. Sounds great. It just doesn't, I feel like it doesn't end well for most. BBC kind of did a stray bullet at the end of this fucking column. They said that his son died in a motorcycle accident

in Moscow last year. Do we think that the... Ooh, what's that mean? I don't know. That doesn't seem like pertinent information right now. This dude sounds like they, KGB or somebody, murdered his son,

motorcycle accident, in quotes. And then came for the Sausage King himself. The intruders demanded cash from Mr. Margoff before fleeing in a car. I feel like if you're going to demand cash from somebody, hitting them up in a sauna is not the move. Yeah, I don't keep cash on me in the sauna. Do you? No, normally not.

No. Come with the Sausage King, you best not miss. And they didn't. No. They didn't. Sadly. Sounds like they were actually very accurate. Ross Bow, man.

Hey, do you want to make a sick Game of Thrones reference, Dylan? Ooh. Nothing's coming to mind, but I would love to make one. Okay. Will, I'll let you. Man. It's like this guy went to a Dothraki wedding and talked to the wrong girl. Wow. You crushed that, dude.

You got to be careful with those things, man. They'll kill you. Dave, how about you make the reference you're referencing? Man, this is just like when – I don't want to spoil for Will. Oh, yeah. He's not even going to watch it, dude. This is a spoilable part. He's going to watch it.

Spoilable? Made up a word, maybe. Whatever. Just people know. People know. Okay. Just, hey, I'm nodding my. Maybe. Whatever. Just people know. People know. Okay. Just, hey, I'm nodding my head to the Thrones fans. Dude, he's the Sausage King.

Dude, he's the Gliss King. He is the Gliss King. No longer. He was the Gliss King. Yeah. Was this guy well known in Russia? If this happened, who is this guy comparable to? Just a big business?

Is this like Papa John getting shot down? Exactly like Papa John. I don't think so. In Russia, glizzy eats yellow. Damn, Dave. Give that man his sausage. They said they found the crossbow in the

sauna as well. Yeah, they left the murder weapon, which is a unique move. Who's doing that? Why wouldn't you keep the crossbow? That's probably a fair expectation. Are we just not going to theorize that it was his partner that did this? She jumped out the window. It was a she? Oh, since 2019, he'd been, yes, involved in a highly publicized property rights conflict

with his ex-wife, the poet Tatiana Marudova. Marudova? Oh, I've read her stuff. It's good. A little postmodern, but. I mean, I'm sorry, but if these guys are ruthless enough to murder him in his sauna and then leave the murder weapon behind, but she just gets away and calls authorities, that's kind

of a red flag to me. I don't know. You got to wipe the prints and just. Ooh. Maybe, I don't know. You got to wipe the prints and just drop it and go. I don't know. Who's your favorite meat mogul? Abe Froman. Sausage King of Chicago. Sure.

Everybody knows that. I'm trying to think of which meat mogul I would go with at this point. I don't really know of any meat moguls. Who's the Johnsonville Brats guy? John Johnsonville. Mr. Johnsonville. He does great work. You got the whole Oski

in there. I mean, we could say Aaron Franklin or something, right? He knows his way around a brisket. Sausage king of Central Texas, that's for sure. He sure as hell is, David. I don't know. Sa, sausage we had on Saturday night might have something to say about that. He's probably the barbecue king of the United States.

I'll say it. I'll give that to him. Tootsie or whatever her name was in whatever Texas, she might have an issue with that, but... Is that place open yet? I'm not worried about Tootsie. Dude, I don't think that place is going to open for a while. I don't either.

They really missed the best opportunity they had to ever blow the... They absolutely did. Upstairs at Tootsie's getting shoulder rubs. Doing Drake over here. Very cool. Shouts to Drake. Hey, where do we stand on a barbecue place? Do you ever feel like it's not naming names, not Franklin's, it's obviously worth it?

The barbecue, I don't think it's like this. like this not naming names not franklin's it's obviously worth it the barbecue i don't think it's like this but do you ever think that some barbecue places are intentionally um rationing their barbecue to create like a hundred percent fake demand in a line and it's just kind of like all right just maybe just maybe just you know keep the line moving i'll go as far to say that franklin's is doing no they're not if you've seen the operation up at the counter, what they're doing, it's wild. It's wild how much meat they go through in a day. Okay. Wild. Okay. That one dude that

Why can't you get it after 1pm? They go until they sell out. They go until they sell out. They sell out every day. So they can't just be smoking more meat four hours after they smoke the original meat and start all that? They can't just keep it going until five?

They went under a pretty significant expansion of their operation not so long ago to have so more people could get their food.

It's a serious operation. Okay. Like people go up there and they take advantage like finally they have the window like they wait in line and they order like

six pounds of brisket. Do people ever wait in line for three hours and get up they're like um i don't know they keep it moving like we we me and brett did they keep it moving i had a buddy who showed up he didn't know the deal and he was with some co-workers who didn't know austin they were in town for less than 24 hours and they were like well let's just google the best barbecue place and go eat that and they went at like 115 and they were like i well, let's just Google the best barbecue place and go eat that. And they went at like 115 and they were like, I don't know, we might have like a sausage link for you. And they were like, oh, yeah. And I told them after, I was like, yeah, you shouldn't have done that. But at the same time, I'm like, I just feel like if you're running out by one, I feel like you can gas those numbers up.

Those are amateur numbers, dog. Yeah. Started as a trailer. They had just one pit. A place near me which i very very much like like it's up there they have like the thing where you you can only order online and then you go pick it up and you wait outside their trailer and um did that recently i've done it a couple times and it's really backed up and there's like 30 to 40 people just kind of standing around and there's limited shade and um i just kind of like man you know what if they like

brought out maybe water for people or like um i don't know maybe just like a little snack for all the people who are waiting for like 45 minutes to an hour i feel like that would be nice yeah you can go up to have a little beer stand inside of franklin so when you're waiting you can someone will like save your place in line you go get a beer and come back i like that would be nice. Yeah. You can go up to have a little beer stand inside of Franklin. So when you're waiting, someone will save your place in line. You go get a beer and come back. I like that. Which is pretty cool. I like to drink beer.

Love beer. I like beer. I still like beer. People bring coolers, man. I drink beer. Do you? I've never drank to the point of blacking out before, but I like beer. What are we doing?

What's that? We're just doing Kavanaugh stuff. I'm sorry. Oh. Are we not doing Kavanaugh stuff. I'm sorry. Oh. Are we not doing Kavanaugh humor? Did you read his dissent in that Wisconsin ballots case? No. Was he skiing?

I'm sorry. Just crossbow me. Just do it. I deserve it. If I had one, dude, it would be right through your fucking heart. Where would you do it? Did it say where? It's got to be on the chest or the head. I hope it was a quick one just as smart that's a slow death right

just wait to bleed out like absolutely the heart yes i just don't know i think it's getting killed by a crossbow i don't think it's a fast death but it's definitely slower than what you would want because you are going to bleed out wait to bleed out man yeah i guess it's not too different from getting shot unless you just get shot in the brain man i wonder if his company's going to start manufacturing blood sausage okay can we step into the steam room real quick before we head out of here today yeah yeah let's go you guys ever heard of this real quick before we head out of here today? Yeah, yeah. Let's go. You guys ever heard of this company called Pottery Barn? Oh, out of the gate just making...

Exposing them. Come here, David. Get that ass over here. One of these days, dude. I'm going to paint it red. That's gross. Stop. You guys ever order furniture online?

Yeah, I had a great experience did you maybe because you went with the top tier company yeah oh so pottery barn yes sally and i've been looking we've been in business for a new bed for a while now we we've been operating on what you would probably deem a college bed frame not great not great so finally we decided you know what we're gonna up our game a little bit. We're going to get a bed from Pottery Barn. After a lot of looking online, they make some fine stuff. It was a bed

that we were like, you know what, I like this one the most out of all of our options. Let's go with the Pottery Barn one. So we ordered that and the matching bedside tables. Excitement is peak. Very happy about this. We're quite excited. I actually believe that she ordered all of this while we were in Michigan. So late July, early August.

Okay. A while ago. A while ago, yeah. And they did tell us that it was going to take a long time to get. I'm not really sure why it takes two months to send a bed. Why does furniture always take months? I've never really understood that. Are they making it from scratch when I hit the order button?

What's going on? Yeah, I know that there's not some like Carpendue who's just like, I ordered the bed, and he's like, all right, got to get to work today. Yeah. You have a factory that shits you sitting in there. I think it's expensive. So they do kind of like a preorder situation. Like, in order for them to buy it, you have to order it first. You know what I'm saying? Okay.

Like, some people tend to do with merch. to order it first. You know what I'm saying? Okay. Like, some people tend to do with merch. Yeah, but I just feel like I feel like if you

they don't have that many SKUs. It's not like it's not like the size of like Wayfair. That is true. Where they have like various sellers. I just feel like

if you have a staple line that sells well you should have those beds made already. Have a few on hand. Yeah, just a couple. Whatever. I'm sure there's a lot

of logistics in there that aren't, you know, that we're not privy to. We're not in the furniture industry. We're not the furniture kings of Austin, Texas unfortunately. No, unfortunately not. So finally, we get told that we can schedule our delivery. So Sally decides that we're going to do a Sunday.

She was working all weekend and it makes sense. We're kind of sitting there and on Saturday we're like, man, we haven't really gotten a notification about when they're actually going to arrive. And so Sally decides to call the company and the company's closed. Not Pottery Barn, or I don't know if it was Pottery Barn or the delivery company. So yesterday, amidst this time change, you know, our clocks are all screwed up. We don't know what's going on. We don't know what's up and down. Sally, she worked a 12-hour

shift, you know, in the hospital the day before. So she's sleeping in. She's taking her much-needed rest after a long, long time. She gets a text message. I'm on the Peloton just fucking grinding at this point. I'm just grinding early morning. Watching a little F1 on there, just enjoying my morning. Sally walks out of the bedroom and she goes,

You got to be fucking kidding me. They alerted us that they were coming via text message. Two minutes later, they notify us that they have arrived. Dave, be appropriate in here. Come on. I'm listening. We're talking about very important logistics here. I'm listening. You're setting the stage. They're not sexting

my wife. It would just be a weird way to announce such a thing. It would, yeah. Two minutes from first text to second text, you said? Yes, very quick. So it tells us that they're going to deliver it. Then they get to the next one, and they say that they have arrived. Within 30 seconds of arriving at our place, at 7 or 7.30 in the morning, in that little frame, they have told us they have arrived, and they have canceled our delivery all within that span of time.

Because you took too long to respond? Apparently. What? And so there's no way to contact the actual company. So we have to call Pottery Barn and they're like, oh, that's fine. We'll just call the company. It's like, no, they're closed. They won't answer your phone call today.

And there's no way to get a hold of the actual truck. And so now we have to wait another at least two weeks to get our stuff. So they make you wait four months for a delivery and then they give you 30 seconds to respond to a text. Yeah. Okay. And normally I don't care. Like, normally I can roll with the punches with this stuff. But, like, come on, Pottery Barn.

Figure it out. This is so long. We're just trying to get a – I'm trying to get a sleep off. That's a big purchase, and you kind of, like – and you want to get it over with because you know it's going to be a pain in the ass to get it in there and, like, install. Exactly. So you're just like, all right because you know it's going to be a pain in the ass to get it in there and install. Exactly. So you're just like, all right, you're mentally prepared to spend the next 30 minutes, probably longer.

Clearing out the bedroom. And then, nah, we're going to punt. So to give us 30 seconds to respond to your text message and then just peace out. And granted, keep in mind, as I tried to yell, Sally was on the phone with a very nice customer service representative from Pottery Barn. Sally somehow did not pour this person out. I don't know how the person got lucky. Good for Sally. Yep.

And for the customer service. Sally said, she told her, she's like, I know it's not y'all. I know this has to do with your delivery company. But at the same time, I mean, you're working with this company. So you should know the gripes here. Is there a chance that, because you don't get the best service, is there a chance that the text came in earlier and you just didn't get it till late? I don't think so.

No, no, because no, in our apartment, like you get texts immediately. Yeah, you get texts. It's just the voice call. Your call will drop, as we learned with Pottery Barn people yesterday, that your call will drop at times when it's not convenient. And so, yeah, now we have to wait an extra two weeks. Who knows if that's going to work? Man. I'm just trying to sleep, dude.

Yeah, I'd be frustrated. I'm losing sleep at this point. After waiting that long and then finding out you have to wait even more, that's frustrating. I get it. I don't want to wait. It's like, dude, I'm just trying to get a bed off. Maybe someone had him towed.

You know, yeah, maybe. So you want to know my theory? They couldn't get in the door? No, I think these guys were working on a Sunday, and they were like, dude, I don't want to fucking be here. This sucks. I'm hungover. NFL's kicking up, but if we get our deliveries done,

we can probably make the early games. Day after Halloween, too. Yeah. So I think that these guys showed up, sent the text, and were like, all right, let's get the fuck out of here. And then they were just like, hey, it's easier if we just drop it back off at the warehouse. Probably on West 6th, Saturday night.

Apparently it was pretty crowded. They went across the street to easy tiger that's just my theory that's just my theory shaking my head so i mean yeah you guys can give thoughts and prayers yeah how was your sleep last night you sleep okay you know it was tough you know i really wanted to have like a bed that i could uh you know a bedside table that matched my bed and i could like set a glass of water on and just that. Just have that. But I ended up sleeping pretty well. My recovery was actually trash today. Maybe I was stressed over the –

Probably. I was going to say, I'd love to see the next-gen stats for this new bed. I guess we'll have to wait. I mean – Pottery barn. More like nottery barn. Come on, dude. Come on, dude.

Come on. Losers. Brad, do you have any breaking news for us to cap off today's epi? Well, as a matter of fact, I do. This is a fun one today. Ooh. Can I pick? Sure, Dylan.

A little choose your adventure here. Would you like to go turtles, trains, or restaurant chains? Ooh. Let's go trains. Fuck it. Randy, would you mind helping me out? Oh, I saw this In the Netherlands A train flew through a station And just went off the tracks

But was saved by a whale tail sculpture Yes When I saw whale tail sculpture I was expecting to see a thong popping out of some Jew Come on This was in Here we go. Spidikness?

You could have spelled that. That's got to be how you say it. In the Netherlands. That's Scandinavia? The Netherlands is Holland, which I don't believe is Scandinavia. Correct. Okay. Correct.

That one felt good. I don't know if it did feel good. You were a little nervous i like just asking brett questions to see see how it goes uh yeah we're having fun here apparently it was just he just plowed through the barrier went through the end of the tracks and uh dove off the ledge only to be saved from certain death by that's crazy man man damn it is cool so uh no word on arrests or injuries or anything. But it big ups to the structural integrity of that whale's tail to hold up the train.

Dude, Dylan, we haven't seen a whale tail save a squad like that since college. Oh, come on, dude. I wasn't there, man. Do you think the designer of that whale tail is just sitting there like pounding his chest? Yeah, I did that. That's me. That's me. The structural integrity of that whale tail is quite impressive. Very impressive. It hasn't evening. Yeah, I did that. That's me. That's me. The structural integrity of that whale tail is quite impressive.

Very impressive. It hasn't even moved. Yeah. The little thing will buff right out. It's like, I got you, player. How about the engineer who shows up on Monday morning, and they're like, hey, we got to get this off. He's like, what the fuck do you want me to do?

Yeah. Yeah, it's going to be about three weeks. It's a crane situation. You got to get a crane involved here. We're going to need to get a crane and two crews. I think you've got a bunch of Dutch dudes just tossing on the top of the whale tail and telling them to push it. I don't know that that's it. I don't know.

Yeah, we can do them. We'll have to contact the subs, though. What's the budget looking like? I don't know. That's one of those you get to the job and you're just like, yeah. Had this happen. Yeah. Will, I have restaurant chain news if you're interested.

I'm interested. Well. As long as it's not a furniture chain. This is actually a Choose Your Adventure in a Choose Your Adventure. Wow, no one's doing that. Would you like to go McDonald's or Friendly's? I don't even know what the second one is, so I'm going to go with McDonald's. You don't know what Friendly's is?

I've never heard of it. Are you guys serious? Or is this like a... No, I've never heard of Friendly's. I don't know know what the second one is, so I'm going to go with McDonald's. You don't know what Friendly is? I've never heard of it. Are you guys serious? Or is this like a... No, I've never heard of Friendly. I don't know what this is. There's not one here. They went bankrupt, didn't they? They did go bankrupt.

That's the news. Unfortunately. They cucked your shit. Did McDonald's also go bankrupt? No, no, no. They're all right. No, the founder came back and they rocked them. Yeah, he went to each of their restaurants and switched how they were making the meals.

Pretty interesting. Used fake ice cream instead. And then he fucked all their wives. Yeah, he went to each of their restaurants and switched how they were making the meals. Pretty interesting. Used fake ice cream instead. And then he fucked all their wives. Yeah. Dude fucking founds. Friendly's was sold into bankruptcy, or went bankrupt and sold to the Amici, no relation to Avicii Partners Group,

for $2 million. That's depressing. That is a brutal. 130 locations that are going to stay open through the bankruptcy process. But they got $2 million. That's depressing. That is a brutal. 130 locations that are going to stay open through the bankruptcy process. But they got $2 million. Where's the closest one to us? Is there one in Texas? Got to be.

There's always like one. You know what I mean? There's always an outlier. Yeah. There's a Hardee's somewhere or some shit. Friendly's near me. Sorry. I didn't mean to put you on this investigation. It's really just depressing.

I mean, I'm looking at their menu right now, and the first thing that pops up, not even on the menu, just on here, is their buffalo mac and cheese. Let's go. Which is a bowl of mac and cheese with blue cheese crumble sprinkled on top of it, and then three chicken wings just stuck inside of it. No surprise.

It looks like it would taste really good, but I'm not sure the curb appeal is there for that. I'm not ordering it, I'll tell you that. Friendly's ice cream has always been a staple. We used to have a Friendly's in Saratoga. I don't think I've been since I was second grade, maybe.

They had the Monster Mash, which was a fun little Sunday. It was a monster mash. They joined Ruby Tuesday, Chuck E. Cheese, and Sizzler Steakhouse. It was a graveyard smash. It was a graveyard smash. It was a graveyard smash. This is the second time in 10 years they've gone bankrupt. Unfortunately.

Sheesh. In better news, Will, the McDonald's cult classic, the McRib, is back. Never had one. Oh, I have. I have as well. They are very tasty, but you don't feel great about yourself after you eat them. Yeah. The McRib will appear on menus December 2nd for a limited time.

Okay. Hasn't it been a few years since it's been on the menu? Eight years since it's come back. Why was it gone for so long? I thought it was like a seasonal thing. They brought it back once a year. I almost feel like it is, and they just kind of slide under the radar. Like, oh, yeah, it's been like 10 years.

This is the first time McRib has hit during Podcast Week and Truck Month. I didn't think about that. And bachelor season. The Four Horsemen. How do you get boneless pork to look like ribs? Processed. Heavily processed foods. 3D printers?

They put it in like a... Dave's the rib king of Austin, so he would know. The rib king. If you go to Germany, Dylan, Dave... Hope to again someday when we're allowed to travel. It's year-round over there. Really? Nick Rib?

Yeah. That's unfair. Yeah. Well, anyway. Dave, I have some final turtle news for you. Randy, if you could help me out again. The cheese turtle, as people are calling it on the TL, has been found in Burdwan Village Pond in West Bengal, India. God, I feel bad for that turtle.

It ain't easy being cheesy. Dude, toss some taco meat on that thing, and I'm dipping a chip in it. No questions asked. Put that thing in a tortilla with some scrambled eggs. Huh, Randy? I want to stir that thing. Or fondue. I tried to find.

Somebody made a grilled cheese. Like fondant. With the turtle as the cheese. Sucks. I get it. Sorry. Felt bad for this guy. But it does look very cheesy.

No word on if Kraft is picking this guy up on a lawn yard. Is he one of a kind? How rare is this? Very. this guy up on a lawn here is he one of a kind what's the how rare is this very uh first one they have seen in a couple months i thought it was gonna be longer i'm sorry someone should do the meme someone should do the meme says the turtle's made of cheese and always has been come on apparently this guy feasts on frogs which i I didn't know turtles did. Damn. Sheesh. I don't want to see that.

Those are two creatures that I don't like to picture engaging in combat. Devouring each other? Yeah. But yeah, that's all I got. Okay. Good stuff. Big cheese turtle. Turtle cat.
