Unconfirmed alpha male. Did you walk home? Like, alone? No, I went home with my wife. Dylan just walked home in the drizzly rain. Didn't you smoke in a cigarette? You slept in Waller Creek, didn't you? Thank you all for giving me the best dressed award.

The fit of the night award. I didn't expect that, but to do it right is we were like closing out the other night. It was really nice of you guys to acknowledge i think randy gave i absolutely got a fit off randy said it was bread i thought it was randy to be honest but randy gets like bit outfit of the night i mean hey can i can i issue a request to randy randy next time you want to wear a vest like that text me i've I've got one from multiple Halloween costumes that you can rock. You can have, honestly.

It's from Cavenders. It's quality. That's really big. It's probably $28. It's yours. You just gotta text your boy. Oh, look, he's too good. Yeah, Randy.

Randy's out of state. You know what? Yeah, I'm just turning you back down because you clearly don't want to talk, Randy. Randy did this thing last week where two days he walked into the office.

I said good morning to him and he just straight up didn't respond to me at all. You know what I did? What? What's that about? Will threw it out there, and it hung for so long that I just was like, good morning, Will. I filled the void. Jeez.

There's doing a bit, and then there's just being straight up mean to me. Well, he didn't invite you to his birthday, famously. People forget about that. I did, however i did however get that i had a great time randy about that i had a good time i got the i got the personal invite i couldn't make it but i did get the invite oh what were you doing going to a gala i to him yeah he was he was going to a white tie affair yeah you had some important shit didn't you say didn't you say saturday was a white line affair for you? I didn't say that. Why would I say that?

I didn't make any sense. I was just asking if you said it. I was just asking if you said it. I've literally never done cocaine in my entire life. It's pronounced cocaine, but thank you. I've never done cocaine in my entire life. Good. Unlike Tanya.

We'll get to her later. Fentanyl is a very serious thing, Dylan. I don't fuck with anything. Good. No one should. I've never snorted any kind of substance up my nose, actually. Never. I'm't even...

I'm not even... Like, worst of stories that include cocaine at this point? Nah, see you later. It's actually pronounced cocaine. Sorry, cocaine. No, it's like, we're not doing that. I, too, am very glad to be here, by the way. Congratulations.

Thanks for having me. I had a better weekend than some. Chris Beard, mostly. All right, it's dark. Yeah, damn. Save that for too much dip. Yeah. Actually, it happened this morning. It was Monday morning. I wasn't even technically looking. We're going to do some positive vibes's dark. Yeah, damn. Save that for too much dip. Yeah.

Actually, it happened this morning, Monday morning. We didn't even technically look at it. Gonna do some positive vibes in here. Posse vibes. I said I'd had a good weekend. I think he's trying to submit

his worst Monday story to the Sunday Scaries story, but I don't know if he's got his phone. Yeah, not yet. Anyway, wait, is it podcast week? So, thank you for for asking dylan a lot of people have wondered

you know with white cast or sorry with white lotus wednesday falling on a monday you know there's a lot of things in motion and uh i'd like to say that yeah it is podcast week wow i've been i truly have been waiting all year for this news to me nobody told me well it's been on your calendar, David. Pay attention, bitch. You responded maybe to the invite. Well, we'll see about it. Wow.

Do you think people get away with doing bits like that at other companies where you just respond to someone's invite intentionally with maybe, like you did to Micah at Grand X? No. I'm actually impressed that Micah scheduled so many meetings at Grand X. You know, he was ahead of his time. He was. Micah was a little ahead of his time at grand x he had a lot of ideas that would have paid off dividends for the media side can we just make so much money that we just just wallet whip micah and hire him back at some point i don't know if it's the money thing from micah

it's not what i don't know i think he misses the game i think he misses the game but i think he likes living a life of non-content, you know? Yeah. Okay. He's lost the juice, man. Micah has to be doing some type of content or he's not truly living. That's just who he is. He's wired for it.

I feel like he goes into his den at home and he just looks at his wall where he has like just like screenshots framed of old power plants. He just thinks, man, those were the days. Remember that time they got kicked out of the mall what what a time yeah i have a number of those videos on my phone i don't i don't share because i mean i always clear it with micah before i share an old micah content vid was that before or after dave and i got that was that after significantly after you have to if you get let go from your job and then you see that people are getting kicked out of a mall that now work for the company that you were let go from, you have to at least feel a little good about some stuff. I got to give him credit. I haven't been kicked out of a mall since probably 2001-ish, that era.

And for him to do that as a grown man is pretty impressive when's the last time you're kicked out of them all i can't say i've ever been kicked out of them all let's let's do a fantasy football punishment where you have to get kicked out of somewhere that we choose oh we have to do odds at some point oh do you want to do it right now do you want to do it right now you shouldn't want to do it right now? You should have said that. I would have forgotten for sure. I'm going to, I'm going to, I feel good about this one.

Weirdly. Okay. We're doing the number 10. Can you explain why we have an odds game ahead of us? Yes. We're doing odds because I tweeted a screenshot from a parks, his mother about a haircut that he wants. He wants,

he recently got a fade and he got one, like one, like little baby lion in his uh what do you what do you call it the part i guess and he wants to get a more exaggerated fade this time and also get two lines sounds like his daddy again with the cocaine yeah you love getting faded you guys saw it up everybody knew what was happening dude you you lobbed that one up. Anyway.

We're going to run that play over and over until you stop it. I told him that that's a bad boy haircut, and he took that as me saying, like, no, it's only for bad kids, so you can't get it. When I was really like, that's bad boy shit. So is the eight-year-old knowledge just thinking that, like, he thinks that, sorry, is the seven-year-old knowledge just thinking that like – Seven. He thinks that – sorry. Is the seven-year-old brain just being like, yeah, once you are determined a bad boy by like the authorities, that's when you get the haircut so we can decipher the bad boys from the non-bad boys at school. He didn't know I meant it in the sick way.

Does he know that bad boys drive bad toys? I cleared it up with him. But I am going to request that his mother wait until after christmas because we might get some pictures off and i don't want him to be like just super faded up in those pics anyway so where do you come into play i come into play because will challenge me to a game of odds that i get that same haircut you actually challenged me dude oh yeah well you can't i can't get faded up it's gonna be as you can but it's gonna change your entire look dylan at least well let's go i keep it closer

than you do i shorter so um man i really don't want to get a fade can i okay can i can i at least make one request on this odds if we do this can i at least wait until after i see my parents for christmas to to get a double line fade if it adds up? Then I can wait for Christmas too. I think that's a deal I'm willing to make. Dude, come on. You can't have me go up. I barely get to see my parents.

You can't have me go up and have like a fuckboy haircut. You can't ruin my dad's Christmas with me showing up looking like a piece of shit. Yeah, that's fair. Well, my son's a piece of shit. Just wear a hat. Just wear a toque or whatever. No, man. I got to show off my hair. Why am i so nervous about this because i don't know i to be honest i might have had a liquid a little bit of liquid courage when i challenge you to this because we can't call it

off if you don't no no no no no no we have to you're the guy who got a a very very in style haircut that was a little bit different than what he normally gets and you thought it was like the worst thing ever so this which is way more way more aggressive than the one that you got at scissors and scotch or wherever this is a bigger deal so i get why you're nervous will gets in my dome he can read me oh i live i live in people's brains can i ask can i ask for clarity there is part of me that want i'll say can i ask for clarity on this game sure something has always felt a little off because if i say 10 like is zero also in play if 10 is in play i don't think that is actually

in play so it's really just one through nine correct yeah yeah so it's one out of nine yeah essentially but it's 10 it's not though on the count of three hold on oh so 10 is not in play no because zero is not in play like you can't just do that i'm gonna i'm gonna dude perfect this if i know what dylan's gonna do and i'm worried oh fuck yeah okay let's just let's just you just threw him off this game just by that you just called the time timeout. So I will count down three, two, one. Then Dylan and I have to say a number between one and ten. If we say the same number, Dylan has to get a lined up fade. If the numbers that we say add up to the number ten,

that means that I have to get a lined up fade. All right. Here we go. All right. You ready? All right. Three, two, one, six. Four.

Is it you? It's me wow can the homie wait wow can the homie wait until i thought you were gonna go five i almost went dude i i changed from four to six at the last i thought you were gonna go five and so i there was part of me that was like we'll just say five so you both have to do it oh man i'll do it wait if it's five we my hair will grow out like my hair grows so fast that if i get like a like i've gotten faded up on the back in the last like two weeks does the line have to be like here no you can do it inside well how about this how about this can i get circling can i get like a we're already walking back i have done nothing to indicate that this is not happening not you How about this? How about this? Can I get circling? Can I get like a circling back logo? No, I'm not walking anything back. I have done nothing to indicate that this is not happening. Not you.

Because I have welched in the past, and by my own admission, I've welched in the past. How about I do it along with you? I think we could do this in a way that's not like egregious. What, Dave? Nothing. I want you to have to do it when you have like a thing with Brittany where you have like a client dinner. See, I'm imagining. A fundraiser.

Yeah. Like a charity gala or something. I'm totally done doing January because I got nothing on my schedule in January. I don't think I do either. I don't know why I'm imagining this, but I'm imagining like us sitting around a barbershop and it's like the LeBron James show where everyone's just chopping it up. We got Randy just like with the St steadicam just going around getting us more on this later more on this later i'm kind of excited that we have uh some stuff on the line i almost there was some blood on i'm almost i almost want to do it if y'all are both yeah

we're just looking for excuses i'm worried hey i'm worried about cutting my hair because i'm worried it won't grow back I hear that oh man I hear that brother that's facts hey you know what I mean

Wash Media Holiday Party happened at a key restaurant in Austin, Texas. Do we confirm that? I think it's key. Some people say chi, some people say chi some people say key it doesn't matter i have been i have said both to people and i have only gotten corrected when i say chi but when i've said key no one's been like it's chi we could have just asked the

people who work there i was intimidated by them the second like i don't i don't like when you sit down at a table and they tell you you have to be out in two hours. That's not how I like to say it. The service was great. The service was good, but it's such a bad start to any night, no matter what restaurant it is, when you sit down at your table and they're like, by the way, you got to get out of here in, like, less than two hours. Minus the very unfortunate espresso martini oversight. It was a great service. I don't know how that happened by the way i do i don't think i your head was up your ass no i was i was in the i was going potty i'll do an

you had no indication before you went to the bathroom that you wanted an espresso martini you have okay when there are 11 people sitting at a table order one how do you not just go and get a 12 no because that's not how it happened i can tell you because i'm the one who triggered it i go so we ordered them and then you like look down and you're like wait did y'all order espresso martinis i'm like this half of the table did and then britney's like oh i want one and then that holds your side of the table your side of the table was like oh yeah and then the guy goes over there and starts taking their their espresso martini orders and somehow somehow you got cucked i don't know you didn't speak up how does he not how does he not ask me the guy i was communicating with the guy all night about the menu and and getting

bottles of sake going all i had to do is say hey you want one too literally everyone else is getting it was a hilarious thing to have him roll up with 11 espresso martinis for a 12 person table that's a weird move which is why i didn't tip it's not a weird move they were delicious yeah you just you just straight boned at the guy i tipped him even though he eventually didn't he eventually bring you one you did the thing where you had a stack of one dollar bills and you kept taking away each time he brought he brought mine very quickly thankfully well they were good they were good i just wish i was i had the the power to not slam it they're just so slammable slammable you know what i mean i mean i was drinking an absolute like just treacherous three summit drinks the other night because i went started off with whiskey then i went into sake then i went into espresso martinis and then i

went into guinness that's murderer's row i know like that those are the things those are my like four like downfalls i went sepporo love it sepporo i did too it's a very crisp light lager tasty lagers sake lagers are confirmed in per barrett dudley yeah lagers are in when have, loggers are in. When have they been out? When hazy IPAs got all popular and stuff like that. I've been out on the logging industry for a while. What they've done to the rainforest, just decimated it,

it's affecting the climate, it's affecting wildlife. He supports loggers, so I guess you don't. I also had red wine at dinner. Those are my three bevies for dinner. All right, you want me to give mine? Yeah. Okay. I had a Sapporo.

I had a little bit of sake. My swagger jack over here. I had a little bit of that pinot that the girls ordered. Didn't they call you Lil' Pino back in the day? They did. They did. Lil' Greege. Then from there at the next bar, I opened up nobody saw this coming oh espresso

martini to end the night at the restaurant opened up at the new bar with a old-fashioned woodford then another old-fashioned woodford then i saw will go in guinness how'd you feel sunday morning player uh bad but not horrible like nothing that two two or three ibuprofen didn't take care of i'll tell you what was kind of a game changer for the sunday hangover we started pretty early like i got a full night's sleep i went to bed early enough you know shut it down i i don't randy maybe randy is willing to speak don't know, based on his first appearance on today's podcast where he just bold-faced us. Randy, you gave Brett best dressed. No, I didn't.

You said at one point you did, didn't you? No, he asked. Did you say he just didn't brick? No, Brett specifically asked me to tweet out that I did not brick his fit, so I did. And then I responded to my own tweet with, not. Oh, dude.

Got him. Psych brett was determined to wear a winter fit yeah despite it being 78 degrees out yes uh it was i was wearing a short sleeve shirt and i was warm as i walked out of my apartment he went turtleneck sweater with overcoat overcoat he looked like he was he looked like he was the fourth character uh of that awkward moment it was legit in the 70s. Which, if anyone knows me, that's a massive compliment. But, like, I mean, come on. Like, you can't win best dressed at a holiday party at this point

if all you're doing is a turtleneck sweater. Like, those things are expected at this point. Yeah. Yeah. We expected a curveball, and that's exactly what he threw. We fucking mashed it out of the park. Yeah. He hung it, too.

I was on Br watch and i i don't i don't think i had any uh entrance into the competition of being best dressed i was very worried going into my my fit i don't like i don't like having to dress for a holiday party when it's almost 80 degrees outside it really really tests you like i had to put away my turtleneck and my sweater that i was going to rock together and i had to put on a short shirt i had a chunky one ready to rock and i was like you know what you short shirt. I had a chunky one ready to rock. And I was like, you know what? You chunked it. I'm not going to chunk it tonight. Yeah.

I went cashmere sweater suit coat over. You did look good, Dave. It felt good. That was a nice cashmere sweater. Light, but still, you could see it had some integrity to it. I like a good fit off. I like a good sweater. I got a fit off.

Yeah, I guess. I mean, I expected you to wear exactly what you wore. I knew you were going to wear a button down shirt. You played the hits. Touch you wore. I knew you were going to wear a button-down shirt. You played the hits. Such a class. I knew you were going to wear a button-down shirt and a jacket. You played the hits. Sometimes that's what you're supposed to do.

Which is fine. It's like seeing McCartney. You know what his set's going to be, and you're going to have a good time. I'll take that. I'll be too hard on you. Don't we have him in studio today? You don't hear that he actually died a long time ago, and they found a replacement for him?

I mean, I'm willing to bring that to our next episode of Touching Based. It doesn't sound like facts to me. For all the people out there that are big fans of exactly five minutes, for all the minute heads out there, you can go submit your own prompt for tomorrow's episode on Patreon,

patreon.com slash Struggling Back Podcast. Go do that. Yeah, can't really use minute minute anymore i'm not a militia now probably i don't know probably i don't know i don't know yeah yeah from uh from key we all uh migrated over to howard's the hottest the hottest new bar in austin everything yeah it's cool you see that that dj section back there yeah i i did and i i knew immediately i was like dude this would have been a real cool place to see my favorite dj it was actually i felt i felt for will you wronged him she wasn't my favorite dj before that night but

now she's certainly what's her name claudia i was going through some old uh i was going through some old saved Instagram posts. You guys ever use the save function on Instagram? Dude, been using it a lot lately for recipes and chiropractic techniques. Look at you. Look at you. Yeah, I was going through the other day, and I was trying to find an old photo, and I stumbled across a post from this bar that was promoting somebody from LCD Sound System

having a DJ set at this bar, and it made me sad just thinking about that day. It was a good day, man. To be honest, Dylan, the episode that we did after that day kind of did numbers. So I should leave you out to dry more often? It's not all bad. Yeah, it's not all that bad. Hey, can I mention something about my saved Instagram posts? Yeah.

Chiropractic Instagram is sneaky horny. I absolutely believe that. I don't think it's... As someone who has spent... I guess it's not sneaky at all. I donpractic Instagram is a sneaky horny. I absolutely believe that. I don't think it's someone who has spent, I guess it's not sneaky at all. I don't think it's even sneaky. Well, like I've dabbled in the TikToks, but not on Instagram. I think TikTok is quite horny. So this guy who I followed, like I got served, like, he's like, this is how you crack your back at home by yourself. I'm like, oh, cool. I definitely would like to follow this. at home by yourself i'm like oh cool i definitely would like to follow this next thing you know he's like he's getting in there on some glutes man and i was like it's weird they don't choose like really ugly people to oh no no no not typically he's just getting in there and it's like what's up guys i'm dr back blowout yeah he's like chill out dude yeah this is the name it's like this is how you uh decompress

your partner's back and like she's just like sitting on his face or something yeah and she had just she's well put together too it's like oh man this guy's got this guy just has an extremely hot clientele yeah that are all cool on camera-camera stuff. Anyway, shout out to him and his family. Do y'all have any MVPs from this holiday party? My short list of MVPs would go... Barrett. Why? What did Barrett do? He was just there. He showed up the fashionably latest.

Somehow. Who was first, Randy or me? Who got there? I was the first person there. Dave, Randy, then Barrett. That's the final three that were all 20 minutes plus late. Uber trouble, huh? We tried to meet up with noted content creator, Jared Borslow.

Oh, this is the best part. Of Formula Bone fame. And he showed up to Howard's, the new bar in town that everyone's talking about. And he was wearing shorts as it was 70 degrees outside. He got bombed. And it was a very similar situation to Dylan visiting the Vatican. Randy was turned away at the door. I was standing next to Randy in there when Jared called him to tell him.

And Randy was like, this is worse than Dylan at the Vatican. It is worse. Like he was crying. I was dying. I understand the Vatican a little bit more. I really wanted to hang out with him too. Austin, Texas should not be a city where you can't wear shorts out at night. Like that is not my Austin.

No. And typically I'll just say it. I don't really like places that don't let you wear shorts. Correct. Yeah. If that's the Texas I haven't met yet, I'm good. Is that a McGuire Mormon, John? It is.

Like Austin, one of the things i love about austin it's such a casual town and to to know that i could possibly get turned away from a bar on six on a like on west six for wearing shorts we talking about shorts weird man i just want to like put on my chubbies let the bone man step out in shorts he's the bone man did he pull the did he pull the card like uh i have i have a couple viral tiktoks did you know you know you know that don't truck was out i'll feature you yeah i'll put you on my tiktok jay bones i think they just wanted to see him walk away he was cheeky they just want to turn him down and see him walk down that street yeah back that way, brother?

He's like got the perfect build for ping pong. He was not a compliment. He was okay at ping pong. J-Bone always thought he was much better at ping pong than he was. I had a streak where like I was beating him consistently and he wouldn't stop challenging me to games because he wanted to get out of it. Like he just wanted to keep shooting. And I was like, dude, I'm sorry that i'm beating you consistently at this point

i think overall i'm down about probably 200 wins for him to about 100 for me though um i hope he's listening so i can remind him the last time we played i beat him and i refuse to ever play him again i would too are you i like that you were such a curmudgeon when it came to the ping pong table at Grand X. Yeah. No, I wasn't. Yes, you were. No, but it was like you were just – you were like the dad who was just not going to play with anybody.

You weren't going to engage with us when we were playing ping pong. Dylan doesn't like doing stuff that he's not like competitive at. Yeah. And he's not a good ping pong player. Dave just nailed that. I get it. Like I get that mentality. I think I share that mentality in a way.

But ping pong is one of those things that's like, it doesn't take that much effort to suddenly become as good as everybody else. Yeah. I wasn't going to put in the time, man. I'd rather just go to the golden tea machine. You don't work, you don't eat, you don't grind, you don't shine. That's all I'm going to say to you. Wow.

That's fine. I was grinding on that golden tea, though. That is true as far as holiday parties went it didn't get as lit as last year no it you know i don't know if harold's or howard sorry i keep calling it harold how he's how he's um you know i'm glad we went i to check it out. But I would have been down to pivot. I think Deep Eddie would have gotten a lot more play from all of us. And Jared could have worn the shorts in there, in theory.

And we just, we didn't have anywhere to sit. It was a stand-up thing. And we were standing up by the DJ. And it was quite loud. Really? I didn't hear any comedians. Did you mean? I thought you were going to go like weed.

Like it was loud. Oh, no. I was making a stand-up comedy joke. A stand-up thing. That was me burning outside before I got in. You were burning outside? Yeah. Really?

You were hitting that green? Mm-hmm. I hit that athletic greens this morning, actually. Thank you for asking. As did I. Done with that one. As did I. Done with that one. As did I. Our next partner's got a product that we literally use every day.

I didn't know how much athletic greens was going to be in the rotation at the DeVries household. I didn't. But guess what? We're all over it, baby.

I don't like that. That's pretty good. It's a little insensitive to some cultures, but it's good. I'm literally doing the theme song from White Lotus because it's White Lotus Wednesday on a Monday.

I'm just saying, dog. I've mastered it. I told Alyssa last night night i was like we're watching the entire theme song we're doing the entire intro we're not mashing that button uh we we had been doing the theme song around our place for so long yesterday that fritz started doing it and when we finally were met with that option dave you know i had to match that skip intro button it's pretty good though it is good it is good it's way better than uh season one steam oh they're on the same wave same way but this this season's i think is better

okay i said what i said okay well this one takes this one uh you have to really really let it ride before it gets into it. You do. You do. It's a slow burn. Hey, I really enjoyed the finale. Oh, great take, man. So I thought the penultimate episode of this season left a little bit to be desired. And so that set me up for some major expectations for the season finale. They had a lot to pack in. Will, we got a penultimate problem with TV, those of us who binge which uh i do um we have grown accustomed to the penultimate episode being like the one the one breaking bad um game of

thrones things of that nature yeah again um and this one you know i think you're right i didn't think it was a bad episode but you're right it didn't do a lot but i thought the finale was overall quite good like as i'm watching it i'm thinking this is the best television i've watched in a very long time it's it's it's currently my show of the year they had a wow they had quite a few subplots that they they needed to to you know bring together at the end. And they did. Kind of fantastically, actually. What was your favorite subplot? Ooh.

You just like all of them. Lucia pulling one over on Albie was great. Okay. Okay. Albie was always... That was always going to happen. Hindsight's 20-20. Albie was always going to get screwed over by her. 50K.

Let's talk about the deal. Let's talk about the deal that Albie made with his dad. So the pimp, like every time that the pimp would run into Lucia, he would be really angry and they would storm off. He would take her. And then like the next morning, she was just back at the hotel like, hey, I'm ready to work again. And what's up, Albie?

Like, come on. You don't work, you don you don't eat you don't grind you don't shine yeah i've been saying that became kind of that's my favorite saying i say that all the time kind of obviously he was in on the whole sitch was that him that she hugged when they were walking yes it was yes i rewound and confirmed that was him um if i am uh dominic michael imperioli and i have been famously cheating on my wife and we're having major marital problems and my son comes to me and he says for for a small fee of fifty thousand dollars which apparently means nothing euros they then switch to dollars later in the conversation he had it like that he does have it like that if if your son comes to you and says i need to give this prostitute 50k and i'll make your marriage with my mom better you take that deal every single time i think if you got it like that

yeah like all right the fact that he was just like dad this means nothing to you i got i got something that nobody on the internet's brought up yet and this this we brought this up in my household last night did you know that the original voice remember like in episode one or two when michael imperioli dominic calls his wife and she or she leaves like a message she's like stop fucking calling me blah blah blah that is voiced by laura dern right it's facts because i remember when it when it happened i was like oh that's interesting laura dern i wonder if we'll in. Did you have to look it up or did you recognize it? No, I didn't recognize it.

I just saw it somewhere and then looked it up and verified. Interesting. Alyssa doesn't think the person that he called and talked to last night was Laura Dern. Why would you give... So was that... She was like, what if this was a mistress or something? Why would you attach a serious name like that to just a voice on the end of a phone unless she's going to be in season three?

We can start doing season three theories right now because I have some. Because Laura Dern will be in season three. Yeah. Well, there's been already conversation about Connie Britton returning for season three. Okay. She was in season one. She was an absolute boss. She was. I put on twitter last night i

think here i think she and daphne are related in some way and i think this is going to end up happening i think white lotus as a franchise loves daphne after this season i think everyone else loves daphne after this season i could easily see daphne making a cameo or being some somewhat involved in at some point but i kind of like the idea of white lotus building out this universe because most of the characters from both seasons i very much enjoyed it's fun um let's get to the fuck also is it in maldives next season has it been announced they uh ducky said last night like so maldives next oh just a little a little easter egg but yeah i've also heard i've heard japan and i've heard people talk about wintry settings oh and i pray

oh love that switzerland love that maybe i mean they could do it in japan they could but i think jackson hall or something be tight too jay hall yeah maybe apparently per per our twitter friend brandon winter uh who i guess lived in aspen at one point they can't they can't film in aspen during the ski season which would make it feel inauthentic after aspen has uh strict laws against that apparently kind of respect that their loss so let's get to the hypothetical fucking okay it happened which one oh um daphne and i keep forgetting his name ethan ethan oh i think that that one did happen and now i'm they 100% did the act, but there were some things done. Top of the morning? I thought we were going to get an absurd,

like them boning on a rock or her. Just getting her back blown out. Just never showed it. Just leaves a lot to the imagination. You got to think about it. Well, she was just talking about imagination. That's right. Leading up to them walking off.

Full mystery. Yeah. That being said i don't think harper and cameron i don't think they even kissed i think i think she's like basically just saved her marriage which in a weird way by making him jail yeah like kind of showing him like matching him he made out with uh mia what was cameron's reaction to all this actually like the the idea of them kissing i didn't i guess i didn't really pay attention to like if he denied it after or what when they were fighting yeah he never he never admitted to that yeah he kind of he kind of just acted like he was being crazy by even mentioning it i would like it if it didn't happen like i would prefer if it didn't happen. I really enjoyed the Harper character overall.

Loved it when she called him an idiot. She knew what she was doing. Yeah. Yeah. Interesting that her calling him an idiot was Ethan's tell. Remember? He was like,

I knew it then when you called him an idiot. Like, you only say that to someone you're sleeping with or whatever. Ethan was a very interesting character. Like, he had a lot of layers that needed to be pulled back a little bit.

I will say, shout out to him, because no one's t-shirt after a ocean fight or a sea fight has dried quicker. I did notice that, too. And more perfectly. Yeah, a little too quick. A little too quick. He tried to go full Talented Mr. Ripley on him.

Just absolutely beat the shit out of him in the middle of the the water and just leave him leave him for dead you can't just beat people up in the water outside of your five-star resort yeah you can't that's the worst place to get in a fight right or like church probably the second that's where it happened it was like okay well neither of them are dying because that'd be really fucking weird and then like i never thought et – I never really thought Ethan ever died. I thought the two people that were most likely to die – I thought Portia, number one, and then either Lucia or Mia. I thought Jack was a candidate until someone pointed out that the legs that were shown in the first episode were, like, female legs. Yeah.

Which I didn't pick up on. After I saw that that i couldn't stop thinking about that and so i i completely eliminated any possibility of a guy dying until then the gays all died though yeah she sprayed the block what did you say one of them swam away she sprayed the yacht she sprayed the uh one of them got away yeah you pick up when she when she was saying bye when she was leaving the villa from in palermo and that one like super italian guy who didn't really say much started crying and he was like oh he's italians get a bit overwrought he was crying because he knew that she was probably about to die like she was saying like bye forever that kiss on the cheek

that she got dave that had to have been a little hat tip towards some some mob stuff right and the kiss on the cheek always mean that you're about to get just absolutely got fredo fredo death she got it you're right there's some symbolism there broke my heart she got it i don't know all the characters were great all of them did you care did you like how she went out yes because it was super unexpected alissa and i were both like take your shoes off you're gonna break your rolling ankle find a better way to get down to the boat there had to have been a better way right that's not how you get on and off of a boat even if she like rolled off and landed in the boat like there's a decent chance she like broke a hip or something yeah maybe she got a little concussion but she's gonna be fine

you're begging to dill on your leg i think there's i think some people out there uh have maybe felt a little exhausted by the amount of her lately and i actually actually grew on me more this season than she did last season for me um but i was glad she died i thought it was good that she died she was very funny this season her time on the show has run its course i think yeah i thought i thought it was good this season though i thought i thought some people were saying that like they thought that she was uh they were trying too hard to write her in and stuff i didn't i didn't really get that like i thought it was kind of an engaging plot line and it drove a lot yeah like i didn't have any issue with that i kind of called it i said that they were gonna they were trying to oh wow they were trying to fleece her out of her money

you did say that yeah I did dude I've been saying that Greg's crazy you were the only one saying that though Greg still wins by the way

yeah Greg's Greg's killing it yeah he's killing it he's rich now we don't know that I feel like there's like no evidence to Portia

yeah we do have some Portia questions Portia stands in the way of that yeah but Portia doesn't know about the whole Greg part she's gonna oh wait yes she does I had a phone call phone conversation about it yeah she knows Porsche stands in the way of that. Yeah, but Porsche doesn't know about the whole Greg part.

She's going to. Oh, wait. Yes, she does. I had a phone call. Phone conversation about it. Yeah, she knows. Oh, you're right. You're right. Amateur move by Quentin to leave that photo out.

Yeah, Quentin, get it together. Just put that photo away. That's her husband. Yeah. Clearly. What are you doing? That's a cocky move. And he low-key had her convince it wasn't her husband she's kind of a dumb dumb i would like if i'm him i'm like

no that's not him who i thought she was great i thought she was playing them like for the last two episodes i thought she like had a like a plan and knew what they were doing and was gonna like you know i mean she did eventually as as Dylan noted, spray the yacht. But she didn't realize it until like the very last moment. Jack's job that he was assigned was to just basically get Portia away so they could do the deed, right? So she didn't catch a stray. A little disappointed that we never got more on Jack's backstory. Yeah, that was something I would have liked more of.

I kind of wanted to hear more about why he was in the position that he was in. Not blowing out his uncle's backstory. Yeah, he fucking straight laid into his uncle, dude. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I thought he was a good actor. I thought he, I thought there was a,

he's a good actor. I thought the way he handled it when she called him out, I thought that was really impressive. I was like, damn, that's, he was a good actor. Somebody pointed out in the last episode,

someone on Twitter tweeted that like he had, he had an all time drunk actor face. Like he, he played the drunk guy perfectly and he did. I think it'd be kind of, if I was an actor and I had a scene where I needed to be drunk, think i might just drink before i would just get drunk i'd be like no i'm just gonna get drunk before this and have my eyes look like shit and me look like shit that makes sense you know i wouldn't have to do that i feel like i haven't had that in a while though

i haven't gotten called out for in a while at least there's a picture from the uh from denny the other night where you don't you're not actually like drunk But you kind of look you kind of look it a little bit. I'll be honest cotton mid like mid smile Like you know, I love me some t-bone I was like, can you not zoom in on my face while I'm like a total NPC at this dinner? On this you worry. Why are you doing me like this? Like was that at the group photo? Yeah Everybody's holding up their martinis except for no. No, there's another one where I'm just kind of like Sitting there zoned out, like enjoying myself.

Not really. I mean, probably enjoying myself, I assume. Valentina. Oh, my God. I don't want to get too H on Maine here, but we had some surprising revelations on the Valentina front last night. Oh. You didn't know she had a wagon?

Didn't know she was dragging that. You didn't know she had it like that. I already liked Valentina. I already was a stan. And now I see that she's got back. I think we're all pulling for Valentina. Yeah, for sure. I hope Valentina can...

I hope she goes to the club with those girls. And I hope she takes home somebody. And I hope she gets more comfortable in her sexuality. I would watch that spinoff. I want her to find something a little deeper than that. Maybe love. Well, not just a fun night out with the girls. I want her to have all of the above. I want her to have all of the above.

I mean, it was never going to work out with that girl at the front desk. Valentina can't show up to work looking like that. No. She looked not great. She had herself a night, though. Hey, sneaky shouts to Rocco. Getting back in there. Yeah.

Good for Rocco. Huge get for Rocco. Did you guys like this season more than season one or less than season one? You know, if you would have asked me three episodes in, I would have said season one. I think they won me over last night. Dude, here one. I think they won me over last night. Dude, here's...

I think they won me over. The finale, season two, was much better than the finale of season one. My issue is that while I feel like I enjoyed season two more than season one, I still think that the two greatest characters in both seasons, if you combine them, are Shane and Armand. Oh, I agree with that. Their rivalry was so good season one that I think it is still my favorite storyline out of both seasons.

But I think overall, I like season two more than season one. Season two had more good characters, but the two best characters are from season one. Season two also had the... Swains too was a season one. Exotic setting. She brought nothing to season one.

She was there. She brought nothing to season one. She was mean in season one. She was a mean girl. I think I like two, man. There were some plots, some subplots, if you will, Dylan, in season one that I really didn't care about, like the son who joined the rowing thing.

Stayed back in Hawaii. I didn't care. That didn't do anything for me. It was fine. In this, every single storyline in this, I was tied to. Yeah. Good call. Yeah.

Yeah. This one was much more airtight when it came to like the interactions. And this isn't fair because season one had obviously, like you said, Sweens and Connie Britton and even Steve Zahn. All people that I respect their body of work. steve's on all all people that i'm uh i respect their body of work but michael imperioli i like that guy is from like such a golden age of of like my television viewing that just seeing him on screen is it makes me feel good did i pick up on a little bit of the grandfather losing his memory at the end there he said i dreamt that we we met i think he's making a joke relatives that

threw us okay but i could be wrong i don't know he knocked his head he didn't know there were some theories out there that he might be the one who dies that he had like a blood clot or something dude talk about doing the most with limited like lines that dude picked his spots and everything he said was great. Well, earlier in the episode, he talks about how basically the men in that family, they're cursed by being led around with their dicks. And then one of the final scenes in the airport, they all turn to watch that Italian woman walk away.

That was a nice little addition there i thought to be fair dave dave dave's got a little tight hold up i'm just saying got a little telling in him you feel i'm just saying you know i'm saying tell me you wouldn't choose attractive just three generations of horny male yeah 10 out of 10 i I'm happy with this season. Thank you to... 10 out of 10. No, I mean, whatever. Did you think when Albie and Dominic were talking,

did you think at any point he was going to make the revelation? Like, hey, by the way, about Lucia. I mean, I too had sex with Lucia. I think he already knew that. I had sex with Lucia too. I think he already figured out that his dad... Do you think he did? I think so.

Yeah, he did. We know the old man knew. Oh, yeah. Do you think she felt any guilt when she left? No, she had 50K in her bank account. She was fine. Like, he did change her life. Yeah.

She took one over on him. Big time. Sorry, Albie. Sim's gonna simp, though. Yeah, his sim card has been punched. He learned a valuable lesson. Don't get tied up with an Italian prostitute on vacation with your grandpa and your father.

Yeah. We all learned that one the hard way. She might not actually be falling in love with you, Albie. Yeah. Yeah, Albie, whether it's a stripper or a prostitute, just know, she belongs to the streets. How do you say the streets in Italian? The streets.

Something that was a big part of my childhood and my early adulthood, really, is going away. And you may have seen it, but Chili's is allegedly, well, no, they have. They just straight up have discontinued the original Chicken Krispers.

Why? I'm hoping this is like a playbook that Taco Bell, all these places do. It's like, oh, getting rid of it, like McRib. I'm hoping they're going to McRib it. The batter on these are so good. Oh, he McRibbed it.

Yeah, what's up with that? I don't want to like Chicken Krispies as much as I do. This is actually not good news. I mean, Randy chose this place for his one-year anniversary. He did. That is big facts. You got a martini. I did.

I did. So they're leaning into it a little bit on Soch, their official Twitter account, which Chili's has a good – they've got good Twitter people there who run that account. It says, like this tweet if you're going to miss original chicken crispers. So this is probably – this is going to be back. They will be back. But I don't like people playing games with something like this. I don't want a new twist on an old favorite. I want the old twist on the old favorite which is the original recipe i agree because that i've tried

their updated one because they used to have you could get you know any way you wanted nothing hits like that there's original chicken crispers with the honey dijon right there and then that that big old thing of corn with the wood stick in it? Corn nuts. No. It was not corn nuts. Corn nuts. You could maybe. And with the fries, that combo right there. If you're 16 and you're on like a first date at Chili's by the movie theater in Grand Prairie. If you've had it.

I bet Selena Gomez was eating that shit. She's probably had it, sure. Dave, can you read the headline for me? Grand Prairie's own. Chili's discontinued its original chicken crispers, and fans are not having it. Worst day of my life. Are they aware that they're causing certain people

to have the worst days of their lives? It seems like they are. So I can go in there today and still order some version of a chicken crisper, but the original recipe has been discontinued. Is that right? Do they have a reasoning? This is a publicity stunt. Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Right now, our culinary team is focused on perfecting our high-quality, hand-battered, crispy chicken crispers, which make up most of our chicken orders and are quite craveable to spokesperson ads. Fuck you. We encourage our guests to come out and give them a try.'re no we're not on that new shit man what an idiotic move though it's like hey uh yeah so our most popular item we're gonna change it and we're hoping that you'll come in like no it's not what we're doing it's like it's like if we discontinued

circling back it okay i i probably should have prepped you guys for this question. But are there any chain restaurants out there where – what's the worst thing they could retire from your favorite chain restaurant? Ooh. Well, Arby's already did it with the five for five. Going away. Big facts. That one hurt. You can still get a French dip there though.

I don't have a favorite chain. Yes, you do. I mean, I love a lot of them, but there's not one that I just... I fuck with more than others. If B-dubs got rid of their Asian zing sauce, that would be upsetting to me. I wouldn't know how to fill that roster spot. I still have never been there. Let's go sometime, man.

It's honestly a shame that we only have one B-dubs in Austin, Texas. Where is it? Not close. Not close. 35? It's over sometime, man. It's honestly a shame that we only have one B-dubs in Austin, Texas. Where is it? Not close. Not close. 35? It's over on Slaughter. It's a nice B-dubs. Shout out to all my friends over there.

God. It would be like if Hooters got runs over there. I'm a regular, dude. I walk in. They're like, what's up, Will? What if Hooters got rid of the Caribbean jerk dry rub? That would be tough. You can't get rid of the Daytona style.

What would Nick do? What would Nick do? I don't know. Then you could pivot to the Chesapeake dry rub. Maybe even back to the lemon pepper dry rub, which is everyone's favorite. I actually don't love the lemon pepper. You don't?

No, there's something about the lemon with the chicken that doesn't really resonate with me oh can i can i give a little wing take it's the juxtaposition you get it he gets it dylan you don't clueless what's your wing take uh we uh we decided to get a pizza hut okay uh the cowboy game oh and you tossed you tossed on some bonus wings i tossed in some bonus wings and didn't you? I tossed in some bonus wings, and I got to say, I was impressed by their wings. Normally, I've had wings at other similar pizza establishments, and they're trash. These were good wings. I went with Cajun.

Shout out to the Ruff family going pizza hunt on a Sunday, playing that Zah card. What was that Zah card played on? We went... Tell me you went Detroit style. No. Alyssa wanted the thin crust, so we did the thin, green pepper,

pepperoni, sausage. That's a savvy move to go bonus wings when you get the thin crust. And I went bonus wings. You know that boy's going to be hungry.

I earned it, though. I got up, took my son to soccer cubs, soccer practice. Soccer cubs is a cute name for little kids playing soccer. It is. I'll tell you this much.

I was... I shouldn't have been there. I was on nausea watch. You were on fumes? Yeah, it was tough. We had fun, though. He didn't pick the ball up as much as he normally does. He's starting to get it that it's a game with your foot. That's cute.

It's called football. Or football. In some countries, yes. just hope this i hope this comes back man and it's not even that i have had those in the last two or three years it's probably been five years since i've had the original recipe just because just because you're not doing it doesn't mean that you don't want other people out there have the same experience that you i want i want my son. I want your son. I want your son. I want everyone's child out there to grow up knowing that they could go get those original chicken crisps at Chili's.

The fast food item, I've figured it out. Did I order more than any other? Oh, I know what you're going to say. What? It's going to be from McDonald's. No. Oh, it's not?

You're a McDonald's breakfast guy. Oh, I love McDonald's breakfast. The way that you just poo-pooed me. The Egg McMuffin would be a problem if they got rid of that. Can I say what I was going to fucking say? Chicken strips from Chick-fil-A. My most ordered fast food item, for sure.

They're good. They're very good. You can pivot to the Nugs, though. Yeah, it's pretty much taste the same. I'm a strip guy, dog. I'm a Nug guy. Give me all that breading. Okay.

Yeah, they used to call me the baker back in the day because I just had all that bread. Okay. I don't think that happened. and he used to frequent the cheesecake factory you see the menu at that place chunky how do you get through it very chunky last night san francisco dave chappelle did a stand-up set to finish out that stand-up set he welcomed uh You guys hear about this guy, Elon Musk? I have. Elon. Elon Musk. Why? He brought him out on stage. But why?

And he got booed for four minutes. Why? Why? In what context did he bring him out on stage? He said, this is the richest man in the world. Okay. And then Elon came on stage, he put his hands in his pockets, he got booed. And then Elon stood on stage while Dave Chappelle made some jokes about him and

Didn't really say anything. He said about one sentence and said I'm rich bitch. Did he really he did that is very low-hanging fruit It is uh, yeah, I think he got coaxed into doing it He's becoming just really insufferable on Twitter. Some would argue he's been on sufferable for a while. I don't getting worse and worse I just don't like how much of a troll he's become like he's he's clearly doing things to i don't know i i feel like him him becoming a polarizing figure only brings more people to twitter only gets more conversation going about twitter but i'm just tired of hearing the word elon i don't like that the guy who owns the company is so active on the platform i i agree jack picked his spots well jack yeah this is just like it's like he's tweeting like he's like one of us and i don't like that

it's like it's like now turned into like uh a tribute site to elon and and so many he can move he moves markets man he moves the trending topics so much that I feel like Twitter hasn't been as fun because I want the dumb shit on Twitter. I want the memes that start on Twitter and then make it to Instagram after. I don't want this polarizing political argument stuff that Elon's bringing to the table because I get on Twitter to laugh at dumb shit and watch fight videos. You know? That would be why I go to Chappelle stand-up shows. Yeah. And then he brings

out elon you're like no no didn't didn't ask for this you know i could see if he brought out like another comedian stuff i don't know where that stuff out there you know he brought out trey kennedy dylan trey kennedy does fine work i didn't know i didn't know bae was a a fan of trey kennedy's i don't know if she's a full-on fan, but she does consume his material occasionally, I believe. And yeah, I had to fill her in on a little anecdote. He got your ass. Our ass. No.

Don't put me in this. You were there. No. I only ate wings at Hooters. He took your wings. David, our alphas. I don't even think I ate any wings. Well, he stole them, so of course I didn't.

He took them. I was over there eating chips and salsa. They our wings david he totally offered us i i still can't imagine doing that coming over to someone else's bay at top golf it was grabbing someone else's wings he didn't come bringing them to my bay my bay wasn't even there man it was a battle of the bays the audacity on this dude. Was Chris Rock there for this? I regret when I saw Elon eating pizza out, I regret not stealing his pizza.

That would have been an alpha move. I low-key was, after the Trey Kennedy incident, I was low-key worried that we were going to be on some YouTube video that was titled, like, Watch Me Steal These Guys' Chicken Wings. And do nothing about it? And then do nothing about it. That would be so miserable.

Like, fuck, that's us. Well, Dylan, you were in an awkward spot because the people that were hosting us, the PGA Tour, they had paid for this food. So it wasn't like it was out of your pocket. But he did steal your wings. They were our wings, David.

Just because I was wing adjacent doesn't mean they were ours. He was in the bay next door this is our bay he he strolled over to our bay probably didn't wings you know what i didn't see him wash his hands that was the top that was the top pick of all the things on the spread like they had some southwestern egg rolls that were just fine like honestly the the egg rolls at top golf we don't we don't go to top golf for southwestern yeah i think we had a crudite platter going on right there. We probably called it a veggie tray at that point

before we became too bougie for our own good. You know what, man? Speak for yourself. That was... Man. And Dylan had brought his own clubs.

He brought his own bag in. No, no, no, no, no. He had a tour bag, remember? Yeah. Yeah, it didn't have the stand. You had to just balance it. Yeah. Yeah. Leather. It was nice. Probably didn't have the stand. You had to just balance it. Yeah. Yeah.

Leather. It was nice. Probably didn't eat it. I'm not. Trey Kennedy owns us. I'm going to start cucking more people out and stealing their food. Are you? Yeah.

If I ever see Trey Kennedy, just know your entree is not safe. His entree? They call him Entree Kennedy. That's good. Yeah. Fuck you, Trey. I still can't believe that story. He got your ass.

He body bagged you straight up. There were people clamoring for me to call Fritz Trey because he's the third. I was like, can't do it, dude. Too raw. Too raw from when he stole our wings. Fritzy Three Sticks? Yeah.

Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Fritz DeVries the third yeah that's his name yeah

that's him that's his name that's him yeah very cool what's his middle name Fritz Fritz

Got a little worst of story for you guys. Are you kidding me? Yeah. No one submitted this, but it was in the news. Whenever I see the words Northern Michigan in the news,

my ears perk up a little bit. We don't get a lot of news up there. Right. Not a lot of news that makes headlines. But we just had our holiday christmas party correct we did none of us fought each other kind of wish we would have had a fight that would have been almost did when he neglected to order an espresso martini for a good Dylan almost fought the waiter when he brought up 11 espresso martinis for 12 people he knew that he messed up he he he's my he knew he He did it for content. He rectified the situation rather quickly. He actually whispered in my ear when he set my espresso martini down. He goes, fuck you, Dorn.

Really? Yeah. I didn't. Hey, man, been listening for a long time. Fuck you, Dorn. Uh-huh. Brumette the forums, that whole thing. Yeah.

Well, this says, two men, both in their 30s, attended a work-related holiday party in costumes last week in a hotel Indigo in Traverse City and got into a heated argument before midnight on Saturday. It turned violent when the Grinch took a swing at the reindeer. Wait a minute.

They were dressed up, David. Okay. They were dressed up. A brawl broke out and they arrested the guy who was dressed as the Grinch. Is there anything, like, there's been a lot of people that have sent us stories about holiday parties and stuff like that in the past. It's not a good look to get arrested at your holiday party and get toted out of there dressed as the Grinch.

What's his Monday looking like in the office? What's up, guys? I'm taking Monday off, if that's me i'm not showing up are you maybe just quitting if you're not fired it depends what what the kind of job it was and you know if i saw myself at that company for years to come i'd probably show up at some point but that's a tough scene man the police captain said we go to assaults all the time uh when he was talking when he was talking about he said but obviously with the media and social media everyone's getting a chuckle out of it because it was the grinch i mean it was it is what it is if if you get arrested and the and the

police chief is talking about this i'm like dude come on why you gotta do me like this do we have a mugshot did this person make it to mugshot shodis? I don't have any indication of whether or not he was a shodi. Okay, I'm just asking. I don't know if I've been to Hotel Indigo, but I have spent a lot of time in Traverse City. Beautiful area. Highly recommend you guys go check it out.

I've been to Hotel Indico. Maybe we should... What type of weed is Indica, Dylan? Which it which one's that one they're all the same in the couch not the same in the couch bro you're leaving your boy doesn't like those and it just makes you like mega chill i don't like those indica's they don't make which one yeah dude the indica's make me overthink things I want the one that puts me in goblin mode. Oh, my God. You want the one that gives you the worst munchies. I hit that Indica, and I immediately just start thinking about all the mistakes I've ever made in my life and which one I'm going to make next.

You know what's funny? Yeah, my imposter syndrome is sprinting. Dude, when I smoke it, I think of all the mistakes you've made. Really? I do, too. It's weird. It's like I'm channeling you. I'm just like, oh, Dylan beefed that one. Thank you. Oh, chunked it. Chunked it. Forgot about that. Yeah, it's weird. It's like I'm channeling you. I'm just like, oh, yeah, Dylan beefed that one.

Thank you. Oh, chunked it, chunked it. Forgot about that. There it is. Major league chunking. I bought some grass during the lockdown, during COVID lockdown in 2020. And it was indica and it didn't serve me well.

It really made me feel all bad types of ways. Not the move. Is that the one? A friend of the show once gave me a chocolate bar, and it was about 10 milligrams. It's the last time I've taken that dose. And when I went to go to bed, at first I watched a Ricky Gervais stand-up.

This was like four or five years ago, maybe longer. That smug guy. It was a good stand-up, but I was very, very, very high. And then I tried to go to bed, but instead of going to bed and falling asleep, there was just like a slideshow in my head of different events, much probably like your experience, Dylan, just like shit from my life. And I'm just like, wish this wasn't happening. Yeah, it's awful.

Wish I wasn't dealing with this right now. You started thinking about where the drive-in people who you coned or like what they're up to these days? Yeah, probably. And I was just like, man, you know, I just would like to sleep. Maybe get like six or seven hours. Yeah. Go to work.

My thoughts get dark. And it's just like, I don't know what I'm going to say. I won't be doing that again. Micro only. One of us needs to go micro viral soon I'm just gonna go macro again that was fun I haven't checked in on her numbers but Cat Pat

was on micro watch last night you wanna do some real time analysis of her virality right now I'll check it out and get back to you I'm going through a little rough patch on twitter i gotta start shooting more yeah you've been pretty mid yeah i haven't been tweeting much

man i gotta i gotta step my game up maybe it's on me to change the narrative on twitter okay uh she's up to 167 retweets and almost 2900 likes 2900 likes a certified micro it's pretty good in my in my humble opinion it's pretty good this In my humble opinion. That's pretty good. This is a White Lotus tweet. It is. The caption is, Lucia when some sad little rich boy wires for 50K. Ah, yes, yes, yes. And then it's a video of a- I've seen this video.

A young lady just hysterically cackling. Do you guys think that it's completely, completely fair game after a finale that is largely watched on demand to just blatantly tweet spoilers yeah post finale definitely when you're cloud chasing yeah it's fair game yeah i last night i had the thought like should i not tweet stuff and then i thought to myself you know what like if honestly if you're a fan of the show and you're not watching it right now then you just should know to not be on yeah that's 100% learned you learned i think i think during the season it's it's maybe a little less okay but after the season finale you got to just let those tweets fly you gotta throw your hat in the ring for the the viral or the micro dude definitely definitely turned harper and ethan

like she totally changed like changed the dynamic of their marriage. And she can change me anytime she wants. Oh, my God. What, like your pants? Like the little baby I am. Okay. This just got really weird. Daphne told me to wear a diaper. I'll wear a diaper.

Yeah. Smear me with that Aquaphor. There it is. Yeah. Put that tubby tot all over, Daddy. Let's get out of here. Bye. Bye.

Bye. Bye. Bye. over daddy let's get out of here bye
