All right, we're back. Circling Back Podcast. My name is Will DeFreeze. To my right, Dave Roth. I'm very excited this morning because I get to use my favorite adjective about the weather. It is crisp. Wow. It is downright crispy in Austin, Texas. Wow. It is a good one. It is. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. And the birds are chirping right outside the studio here. I didn't realize that you could hear that on the podcast until I guess a couple weeks ago somebody commented dude's chill what kind of birds are those do we know you got to think they're toucan yeah a lot of toucans in this in this region uh you know there's apparently like a parrot population in tech in austin that's

a condor oh wow it's a texas condor there are condors like six bald eagles just sitting on the fucking perch over there. Dylan, what's up, dude? Man, I'm just so happy to be here today. It's just one of those days. I just feel like it's going to be a good one. I'm happy about everything. Wow.

So happy that I know we have a steam room segment coming up. I think we do anyway. Yeah. And I don't even have anything to steam on. Well, maybe you don't come up. Just start thinking, dude. Just start thinking about everything that I hate hate and hopefully something will come to me. I would like to apologize for

Monday's episode where I sound like I'm just dying. You sounded pretty nasally. You sound much better today. Very nasally. I felt awful on Monday. I almost called you guys in the morning and said, this has got to be a two-man show. Okay. But I thought I could do it. Once the episode ended, I just died.

I was kind of like that yesterday, too. You did. We were trying to text you about a phone call that we had, and you were just not responsive. Oh, I took NyQuil and just went to sleep. Damn. My bad. Hit me.

I had a good day yesterday. What'd you do, man? So I hit yoga early afternoon. I've been doing it a little bit in 2019, trying to go twice a week. I tweeted about this, at dcarterrough on Twitter, and Snap for that matter. It was the first class where the instructor did not have to sneak over to my end, the back of the class, and say, how's everything going? Or even worse, and this did happen once, grab a block and slide it under me because I wasn't doing a position right.

Oh, the instructor would go do that? Yeah. That's tough. To be fair, she walks around. I go to a place called Black Swan. Is that like training wheels for yoga, basically? You could look at it like that, but even the seasoned people in there have a block on something dave i do want to go with you sometime i can't promise you it's going to be anytime soon but i do want

to try it here's my worry you have a sweat issue right well you like don't sweat i'm not a sweater the whole thing is like it's hot yoga so you're sweating i can't sweat i will but okay the threshold to start sweating is pretty high for me. Okay. Must be nice. It is nice. When I would go to spin class, I would go to the same studio and I would only go to the one instructor because I didn't want to mix it up. I liked the instructor. He was a down-ass dude.

And in the beginning, you would tell that he was being easy on me. He would call people out in the class if they were slacking and and he knew who they were and i think he was just going easy and then one day uh he called me out and i was like yeah this means i've made it in this class right now because he wouldn't do that if he like was worried about me coming back he's trying to get the best out of you yeah and it worked i'm still worried i'm curious why are people in a spin class on slack? Like what? Can't you leave your work at home?

I don't know what you're talking about. This is over my head. Didn't. You said they were slacking. Oh, okay. So this is right over my head. Sorry. It went over mine too.

I just kept my mouth shut. One day he just came up to my bike and this is like, it's pitch black in the room like i was thinking like please don't come over to my bike please don't come over to my bike he walks over he just ratchets it up the uh resistance what i was like this is savage he just he caught me sleeping damn yeah that nothing is more emasculating than being in a spin class because i mean like just to be completely honest you're surrounded by a bunch of like 120 pound girls who like you would assume that you're stronger than and they do like the arm thing where you have weights in your hands for like five minutes of the class and these girls are just beasting me i'm like shaking like oh fuck i can't do this dude i went to okay so girls who

like go to the same class over and over again are really, really good. Okay, I went to a kickboxing thing one time. This was probably a year and a half ago. And I was in really good shape. And I was invited to this thing. And I was like, yeah, whatever. I'll show up. It's like an hour-long class. And it was just a bunch of sorority girls.

Like just a bunch of... Oh, that's weird. Yeah, weird. Crazy how you found yourself in that situation. It was like near the UT campus. And so just a bunch of young girls. Makes sense. And I was like, I walk in. Did you just wake up at UT campus. And so just a bunch of young girls. Makes sense. And I was like, I walk in.

Did you just wake up at the Theta house and just roll out of bed and just say, hey, I'm going to get a kickbox off? I walk in. I'm like, I'm a grown man. I'm in good shape. This is going to be easy. If these girls can hang. And it just whipped my ass.

It beat the shit out of you. I had to tap out a couple of times and take a breather. I thought I almost vomited. It was bad, man. Yeah. It's weird seeing like- You're probably hungover. Maybe still drunk. I wasn't hungover. It was bad, man. Yeah, it's weird seeing like... You're probably hungover, maybe still drunk. I wasn't hungover.

It was in the evening, too. One thing I do at spin class is I base my rhythm off the person in front of me because sometimes I can't find the beat. I don't have good musical intuitions, so I need to base it off somebody else, and I try to match my feet with theirs. And sometimes these girls, like during the sprints, I'm like, I can't keep up with you.

Did you say musical intuitions? i mean rhythm yeah exactly dude musical intuition the only the only it's a haughty way of saying rhythm the only rhythm i have is like on like dance dance revolution no i've seen video of you you've speaking of dance dance revolution do you are you aware there's like a there's like a subculture of people who are just really, really into that game? Yeah, dude. Are you serious? I used to go to CeCe's. We took the homie to Dave and Buster's last night.

It's wild. For his birthday. And there was a man who was clearly there alone. Oh, no. Like tucked in khakis with like a braided leather belt, long hair down to like his belly button, basically. Oh, no. And he was just going ham on this machine. And no one was watching.

He was just getting so into it. And he knew every step. I don't think he had to look at the screen. He was just nailing it. I'm not trying to stereotype anybody, but you know that that guy has an entire external hard drive of just anime porn. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, that's the type. Yeah, I was going to say he has an extensive sword collection. Yeah, for sure. He thinks in a past life that he lived in Japan. He's dabbled in LARPing before. If you ever want to go down the rabbit hole, just go on YouTube and just watch

professional DDR people. It's insane. But this guy's exactly like you would imagine him to be. There's a song that we used to do all the time called Drop the Bomb. And I did it perfect one time. One time I got perfect. We got really into DDR in high school for some reason.

I never had a DDR phase. In fact, I don't think I've ever stepped foot on a DDR. I think I tried one once and did a Britney Spears song and I wasn't good at it. I asked a girl to come to homecoming with me. And she said, yes, I did this after school one day. To what? Stop.

So I asked her to homecoming. And then she, I don't know why she was over at my house. I think she maybe had a project with my sister or something like that. But this is like an hour after I asked her to homecoming. I hear a knock on my bedroom door and i was like oh it must be like my mom or my sister it's the girl who i asked to homecoming and i am drenched in sweat playing ddr oh no man this sounds like a pop punk song what you were playing in your home yeah you had like a little pad oh my whole squad had we all had our individual pads and we just play wait what we got really into it for like a year

this was an option i never i never went through this you almost went down the path of the guy that i saw last night no no too intimidating but yeah your boy went so what happened how did this story end she was just like what are you what are you why did she knock on your door to say hi to me that's it no she wanted to yeah she and then she she heard me she heard me just pounding pavement and she was like oh i need to go and play ddr oh she's got another girl in there nope nope no he's just playing ddr he's just dancing on a pad to techno music do you remember the track and field pad they for on the first nintendo There was a track and field game, and you could get a pad. I don't know if it was called the Power Pad. The first Nintendo?

Yep. They had that technology at that point? It was trash. It barely worked. I mean, it was not synced up. But I remember the Power Glove. Power Glove was trash, too. What was the Power Glove?

What was the Power Glove? You wear this glove that went down to your mid-forearm. It looked like a robot arm. It had the full controller pad on, all the buttons. But by your movement, you could control characters on the games. Mainly for punch-out. It didn't work. Okay.

It didn't work. It was trash technology. I didn't have this stuff because my first ever console was a Super Nintendo. We know you're a Sega guy. Dude, I fuck with Sega. My neighbor had one. Shouts to Nate. He had a Sega.

Sega's trash. No. I'm in the middle here. We avoided the Sega kid. Sega wasn't something I was trying to buy, but it was definitely good. Dylan once told me he beat the shit out of a Sega kid. We bullied Sega kids. Yeah, I did beat one up.

You told me you took his controller and put it somewhere. You shoved it. What did you do with his controller? I just punted it across the street. I heard that you took it and then you put it on like a tee from T-Ball and then you just hit it.

Yeah, I made him watch. I tied him to a tree and I did it right in front of his face. Wow. Look, bullying isn't okay, guys. We're making jokes here okay we did just kind of bully the dude from dave and busters last night didn't bully him i just watched from a distance we accused him of having a hentai porn problem he didn't say it was a problem hentai

hentai how do you say that hentai i don't really know but he definitely does weird porn yeah it's legal but it's weird. You think he left Dave & Buster's and went and hit the cryo chamber? I don't know. Get started on that recovery? I imagine he works at a pretty good store. Dave, do you know there's a cryo place really close to here? Yes.

And you know that they also do CBD oil massages. Okay. Man. All right. Stop ruining CBD. Big CBD. This guy's hair was just thrashing all over the place, too. He was going wild.

So did he have an audience? No, no. It was just him, man. Oh, man. He probably had an account that kept his stats and stuff. Yeah. Oh, man. He logs in.

At first, I was like, I feel really bad for this guy. He's just a total loser. But then, you know what? He might be really happy. Dude, that's the thing. He brings him all the joy in the world and he's like,

I don't even care. Then you realize he's probably drowning in pee. He's probably drowning in pee too. It's different strokes for different folks, man. Some people want to be the best at DDR

and if they're close, they're happy. If it makes you happy, by all means. Sheryl Crow said that. Yep. She did. It's a lyric

to a very popular song of hers. What a beautiful woman. Yeah, she is. She was married to a very popular song of hers what a beautiful woman yeah she is she was married to Lance Armstrong for a while what's your favorite Sheryl Crow song

he's got a pretty good resume Lance Armstrong Sandra Bullock right he's kind of an asshole too I don't think he hooked up with Sandra it's because they're

both awesome people didn't he leave his first wife when she was like mid chemo no that was his testicle damn no don't get me wrong though i love lance armstrong i like him more after hearing him on rogan i didn't listen to him on rogan i thought he was good and and now that i know how many of those guys were also doping and and by how many of those guys i mean like everybody it doesn't

matter i don't care and I think they wronged him I granted he didn't handle it well but the issue with him is that after everything came out and like everyone knew all the facts and stuff he still just tried to ruin people's lives by like suing them and stuff like that that's why a lot of people don't like him but you got to get in there and sue somebody I you can't take back those I mean they literally did take back his yellow jerseys. Seven, right? You can't take those back.

Wasn't it seven? Yeah, seven. It's like keeping bonds out of the hall. Yeah. Everyone was doing it. I don't care. He was just the best at it. 100%.

Yeah, so it doesn't matter to me. I'm a big Lance guy. Well, in the late 90s, if you were not juicing in baseball, you were just basically leaving money on the table because everybody else was. I was talking about this with somebody recently do you remember how cool that summer was when mcguire and so so were just going side by side yeah that was such an awesome rangers were absolute trash and i was still glued to baseball oh yeah the tigers i mean the tigers historically have been trash for a long time except for that little stint but uh i was glued

to sports center every night they would interrupt interrupt regular programming to show just at-bats from McGuire. It was awesome. Yeah, that was fun. I want guys on my team juicing. I would take a World Series with a guy juicing than no World Series at all. If there was a juice equivalent to podcasting, I would take it.

We should all juice. Like a banned podcasting substance. I'd be like, fuck it, I'm going to roll with it. Roll the dice. I think cold brew should be on that banned list, probably. Do you still drink cold brew? I do, but not as much, I'll be honest. Working from home, I've been more of a hot boy.

Wow. My wife, she makes hot coffee before she goes. I'm a hot boy. How about that Canadian cold brew that dude hit us with on Twitter last night? With the alcohol in it? With the toffee hammer. I don't know what you got to talk about. Signature toffee hammer.

7% alcohol in a cold brew. It's the Canadian Four Loko. That's too much. It's too lit. It is pretty you know it's stronger than a beer of course of course it's a cold brew so you don't drink it like some beers like you drank that beer the other night that was like 10.2 percent and that's when you came in hungover as fuck fun fact i didn't even realize that was alcoholic oh yeah i saw the seven percent i don't know what i thought that was i didn't even realize that was alcoholic oh yeah I saw the 7% I don't know what I thought that was

I didn't even make the connection that that might have alcohol in it oh yeah and then alcohol in it I just thought it was some dope ass cold brew

that's why I was like damn that looks hot I mean you would literally be gone off that cold brew that is the combo that you want to avoid right high caffeine plus alcohol

excuse me Dave you have ordered that drink in a bar numerous times. You ordered cold brew that has alcohol in it. I didn't say I liked it. I used to go to this restaurant all the time when I was living in Michigan. The bartender made this drink that was just like espresso, rum, stuff like that. It became my go-to drink.

I'd go there before golfing and I'd just have one. It would just get me out of my hangover And I just felt lit and go play You'd go there before playing golf? Yeah What? That's interesting What? Nothing, I'm giving you shit for saying golfing

Dude, I still, I don't I know Hashtag doesn't like Shouts to Hashtag I know he doesn't like when we say these things What are you supposed to say? Playing golf Instead of golfing Let's put it to the people I honestly Can you say golfing? Playing golf instead of golfing Let's put it to the people

Can you say golfing? Is golfing an acceptable verb? I like don't care Yeah you're the bad boy Yeah I'm the bad boy of golfing It's like saying a basketball goal No it's not like that It has never like I've never had someone correct me on that

Until hashtag So you're supposed to say I'm going to play golf Correct It has never, like, I've never had someone correct me on that until hashtag. So you're supposed to say, I'm going to play golf. Correct. Going to play golf. I guess it makes sense. Like, you're not like, oh, I'm going to go, I'm basketballing today. Yeah, I guess because golf is... That would be an absolute trash thing to say.

Basketballing today. Because golf is a one-syllable word. I think people just, it makes more sense to throw the I-N-G on it. Yeah. Baseballing sounds dumb. It's all dumb. But there's bowling. Like we can go bowl or we can go bowling. I'm playing bowl.

And don't forget there's bowling! That's what we're doing. Can we talk about Dylan's thirst trap on Twitter last night? I don't even think this was a thirst trap that was not you have this it was a thirst trap dylan has this in his playbook it comes out maybe once every two years there's nothing thirst trappy about that you're wearing yoga pants and

you have your fucking bootleg ass foot up on your your bathroom highlighting my legs don't you have a full-length mirror what are you you doing? I don't, actually. I don't have one either. I literally do not have one. That was the only way I could get it all in one frame. You got to hit up Bed Bath and get one. Well, it's not that important. Do you stand up on your tub to make it to like when you need to see your shoes?

No, I didn't delete it. What? I got a screenshot. It's an Instagram story. Oh, it's an Instagram story. Oh, yeah. That wasn't a grand post. I thought you put that on story. Oh, yeah. That wasn't a Graham post. I thought you put that on Twitter.

Well, Dave put it on Twitter. I did. Do you know how many people sent it to me? At least four. Really? They're like, you got to expose him tomorrow. So explain what it was for people who haven't seen it yet. If they want to go see it before tonight, it's at D. Chivary on Instagram.

Yeah, at D. Chivary on Instagram. Or at D. Carter Ruff on Twitter. Oh, yeah. it's at d chivalry on instagram yeah at d chivalry on instagram or at d carter rough on twitter i looked at i yeah oh yeah okay so i i was just on on my computer the other day and i was served an ad so um yeah it was an ad for long underwear and i was like i don't i don't need long underwear but these look tight they just look legit i don't know why they're not like like workout tights like you might think that's what i thought initially they're legit long johns they have like the the p-hole that you can slide you know i don't think we've had a single sub 30 degree day in no 50 days why what i don't know i thought maybe i could wear

them around the house to be comfortable with shit and i don't know why i just it was total impulse buy and it was marked it was like marked down from like 75 bucks to 30. And I was like, because the warmer seasons are coming up. I was like, yeah, fuck it. I'm just going to get some long ass underwear. No one in Texas is buying long johns at the end of February. Those will come in Texas especially. But those will come in handy at some point in my life.

I'm going to need long johns. I go to cold places. Like when you're skiing? But I didn't need to buy them. When's the last time you went skiing? When you're playing ski? I didn't need to buy them in you know february in texas um so yeah i got them and they came in yesterday and they're they're dope as hell i was like you know what this is so dumb that i bought these and i was wearing them so i decided to get a pick off and i did man why couldn't you just

go find your best pair of socks and put them on? Because I didn't care. It wasn't a thirst trap. Why didn't you give the people what they want and just go no socks? No, no. How much are you charging for feet pics lately?

My asking price is still $300 per pic, but my face will not be in it. There's not a marketplace for that, given what you've been putting on those feet for the last, I guess, five or six years. By that, I mean your trash socks yeah well maybe i'll get some maybe i'll put some meyandi socks on that would be nice yeah maybe next time you you prop your leg up on your counter like you're in a cardi b video you can put on a decent pair of socks but to say it was a thirst trap was just not accurate because i was highlighting my legs and we all know my legs

are not my selling point. Your hammer was in that photo as well, Dylan. Why didn't you show your wagon? Why didn't you just turn around? My hammer was not in that. I mean, you couldn't see it at all. Your toffee hammer? I think he's talking about my piece. Right.

But it's not like a sexy pic. I didn't have my shirt off or anything. That would have been a thirst trap, you know? It's the most thirst trappiest photo that's been instagrammed or instagram storied on this podcast ever no it's not not ever ever is not true dylan has worse oh that one he okay i know dylan's got the one he's got one of he and the homie just like standing in like dylan's got no shirt on oh yeah he's got the kid and the no shirt. I got one. It looks like he just did some reps before he did this photo.

I did. He was like, hold on, let me do some push-ups and some sit-ups. Hang on. Yeah, I know what you're talking about, but I've got one that I think is more thirst-trapping. There's also the one of Dylan next to me. What is this? This isn't branded as an expose him segment,

but that's what it is. What is this? Expose him! What happened this? This isn't branded as an expose him segment, but that's what it is. What is this? Expose him! What happened here? Someone took a pic and I thought my legs looked muscular for some reason. My legs aren't, but they look muscular in that picture. I was like, you know what? I'm going to put this up.

That was a long time ago, Dave. That was like two years ago. It's a thirst trap, bro. Three years ago, maybe. You're trapping. Get out of here. You bees in the trap. No, I'm not.

If you go back if you go like way back in dylan's uh catalog of instagrams you've got some real trash grams oh i know dude you gotta go do a sweep i did it was a late instagram adapter actually i took me a while to get on the gram you you have one of it's a bit moji of you dabbing in a master's green jacket that was when i was going and it says this will be my first ever post to get 10,000 likes. Hashtag master's week. That's bad. You have 664 likes on it.

Let's not go through these, man. I kind of want to. No, let's not, please. I kind of want to. I don't thirst trap, though. I put up a thirst trap. Just because I post a picture of me without a shirt on doesn't make it a thirst trap.

I put up a thirst trap. Just because I post a picture of me without a shirt on doesn't make it a thirst trap. I put up a thirst trap on December 15th, 2018. Holy shit. People are allowed to post pictures in bathing suits. It doesn't make it a thirst trap. I don't post them. You have. Yes, you have. Nah.

Why would I post that? That's the opposite of a thirst trap. Dave does it. He's shirtless on the ground. That's true. That's true. Dave, you did one from Sanibel Island where you were laying on

a swan or something. I did. You might have even acknowledged it. Dude, look at this. Dude, I made you post that though. That's a hot one. You were showing me photos from Italy and Dave had a shirtless photo of him sipping champagne or something on some dope-ass patio. And I was like,

how have you not posted this? You were absolutely right. Yeah. At DCRuff on Instagram. Dude, you're not allowed to plug your socials anymore. See, I don't call this a thirst trap. Okay, that's less thirsty than I thought. It's more of a humor If there's a humor angle, then

you can maybe get away with it. What about the one from Jacksonville or Ponte Vedra when you're on the with the ocean in the background when you're on the... With the ocean in the background and they're sitting there in your bathing suit? No, that wasn't a thirst trap. That was the one Will posted. Or Will took.

He took one of Klein's. Klein's was more thirst trappy. Klein had this candid laugh that wasn't actually... He was fake laughing. Did he shrink down the actual photos so he could put a giant frame on it he's got a white frame on every picture on instagram i don't get it people do that man it's a deep dive our photos

it's a bad it's a bad aesthetic i've told him it's trash he knows it on december 15 2018 i mean i completed the year of the mirror selfie i said that 2018 was going to be the year of the mirror selfie. That's bad. I posted one. I've been dragging Klein a lot on this podcast, and he's not here to defend himself, and I feel a little bit bad. I posted three mirror selfies from my Instagram. Those are my thirst traps. We got some good content out of your, I'm going to say, thirst trap in quotes.

It's debatable. i stand by my post here's something i don't do at home that i noticed you do just from this photo that you wear socks around the house yeah i don't wear socks around the house you go barefoot yeah yeah i like i don't like being my feet harnessed by socks in my house i love wearing socks then why don't you invest in some actually nice ones you know what i do have nice socks i just around the house i throw on the shit ones then what are you wearing right now put your foot up on the table these aren't bad these are just regular they're not great but they're not bad those are not your worst they're not i'm hoping they're not your okay dude don't pull them up so high so the heel is back on your tendon. Dude, it's weird.

Jeez, OP. MeUndie sent us some nice no-shows that I really enjoy. I would prefer to never see your socks again. What's up with you, dude? We gotta talk. I don't know, man. Man to man, your sock game is just weak.

It's becoming just part of who I am now at this point. I don't know. You are the sock now. Dude, yeah, your sock game is just weak. It's becoming just part of who I am now at this point. I don't know. You are the sock now. Dude, yeah, how are you the sock? If you're new here, Will used to be an actual sock. Yeah, that's weird. I've been called a sock and a thumb. Y'all haven't even commented on my new haircut and beard trim.

Like, come on, I'm looking strapped right now. Oh, damn. You're not looking strapped. I'm looking strapped. You look good, man. I don't know what that would even mean. I felt bad have you ever had your beard trimmed while uh you have a cold no it's not good i've never had my beard trimmed by anyone because she she has to get right up in there and like start snipping stuff and you're like sitting there sniffling and like

trying not to like mouth breathe on her because you can't breathe out of your nose it's a fucking dicey situation i would have worn a mask if I were her. Yeah, she should have. I should have brought one for her. I'm sorry. You're gross, man. It's okay. Do we have anything else on Dylan's thirst trap?

Well, it wasn't a thirst trap. If you haven't done so already, make sure to go follow Circling Back Pod on Instagram. Make sure to follow at Will DeFreeze, at DeShivery, at DeCarterRoth. Why don't you just get the workout ones? The tight workout tights. Yeah. All the guys. The pro combat ones. That because that guy's an asshole. There's a lot of guys who wear those. Yeah. Can't you see Dylan wearing the pro combat boxers? You mean the Bryce Butlers? That stick out of his like giant gym shorts. So Bryce Butler. Yes, I can. Dylan already has his, so they give out towels at the gym.

Yeah. He keeps his in his elastic band like he's a quarterback. Why are you such a douchebag? That's a great question. Dude, I get a runny nose when I work out. I think it's because of my pre-workout. And so I'm constantly- Are you snorting your pre-workout? I'm doing like snot checks with that towel.

Are you snorting pre-workout? No. Are you butt chugging it? I drink it. Do you freebase your pre-workout? No. Are you butt chugging it? I drink it. Do you freebase your pre-workout? I mix it with water and I drink it. I'm 100% going to get a bang energy off today. No, dude, stop.

Y'all aren't going to like me very much. You're going to die. Let's get one together. You're not going to like me very much when I'm banging. How much sugar is in those things? None. Really? They look like they have...

Oh, it's got sugar vibes, but it's not. I think they have every alternative. Dude, they look like they're just chock full of sugar. I'm going to get one with you. It'll be the Bang Bros. Damn. Man, I feel like someone already has that. Dylan and Dave are just banging it lifetime.

I feel like if you went to bangbros.com, that would already have something. Oh, yeah, let's secure bangbros.com and we'll just get a pixel. Yeah, something tells me that that's already something. If you're at work and listening to this right now, please do not type that in. Maybe we could be the Bang Brothers. Okay. There's no way that's taken. in. Maybe we could be the Bang Brothers. Okay. There's no way that's taken. Or the Bang...

How about the Bang Boys? Oh, shit. That's... I don't think so. Can we put a Z on the end of that? We could put Dylan and Dave, Bang Boys. I don't think that's the move. Wait, wait, wait.

That puts out a vibe that... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just never mind. Oh. It sounds like you're doing each other if you're the Bang Boys. I wouldn't do that. I'm not afraid of that they have a uh they have a rose or champagne flavored bang energy that's gross people are going to think this is sponsored and we're doing some kind of sneaky native ass this isn't no i would love it if they did want to sponsor this because i did come on

initially and trash them and and now I've done a 180. But who's drinking champagne flavored Bang Energy? Yeah, who, when they're working out, it's like, man, I wish I had a champagne flavored drink

in front of me right now. Do they sell those at Lifetime? No. I've looked. That's unfortunate. Can we move on? Yes.

Was that fun and easy banter? That whole thing? No, no. We had Dylan's thirst trap. That's an official seg. Y'all expose me. Expose him! I thought that was going to be Patreon content.

For exposing? Yeah. We can probably still expose Dylan for something. We'll expose whenever we want. Sometimes it'll be on Patreon. By the way, can other people get exposed at some point? Or is it just going to be me? I was thinking it's just gonna be you every time no no you can expose me i think it's i think expose him it's just me exposing you if you want to if you want to read uh my

tuesday morning blog boy blog i posted it on patreon yesterday this is a real thing people i did a little blog boy blog yesterday why blog Blog Boy blog? Because that's what it is. What, are you trying to expose me? Yeah, do you ask why the sky's blue? Like, that's just how it is. It was a Tuesday morning Blog Boy blog. Yeah. You know what it is. You can go check it out for $5 a month, the price of a $5 footlong.

Well, in addition to the Tuesday morning Blog Boy blog, you also get one episode of Circling Back. It's not just the blog you're paying for. And like I said, eventually a mail-in editorial will be on there. I just need to get a good enough backlog of questions. You just need to get your fucking ass in gear? Is that what you need to do? No, I need to get a good enough backlog because the podcast takes priority.

I'm taking all the good questions for the podcast. Any leftover good ones that are written in will be on the editorial. Okay. That's all. I'm going to expose you because I produced them. Expose him! So I produced the mail-in pod.

Expose him! I heard you just say that you save all the really good questions for the pod. And although this did turn into some good banter between you and Sally and myself a little bit, there was one question when I saw on the run sheet. I was like, how did this make the cut and it was what's your favorite cereal oh i thought that would be a fun segment for a long time it just reminisce and get nostalgic about eating cereal as a kid it just looks so bare on the run sheet compared to all the others here let me let me get let me guess what dylan's was like special K? Wheaties. Are you serious?

No, Wheaties. It was Cheerios. Regular Cheerios, not Honey Nut Cheerios? Regular when I was a kid. As an adult, Honey. I went reverse. No one's doing that. Honey Nut Cheerios are the GOAT.

They are the GOAT. Thank you. Wow, we agreed on something. As a kid, that's what I had. And even now, I crave them. Do you remember when Mariah Carey wrote an entire song about honey? Yeah. And it sounded like it was about something else.

And it's just like honey. I don't know what that would be. When your love pours all over me. Oh, that's gross. She's talking about body lotion or something. She's talking about candle wax from the live in La Vida Loca. I hate this conversation. Dave, what's your favorite cereal?

See, now we're talking about it. It is a good topic. Yeah, I'm kind of interested. I think it's probably Fruity Pebbles. Did you have that? Just all sugar, dog. No, Fruity Pebbles are gross. This is when I was a kid, dude. I don't eat cereal now.

Fruity Pebbles did go hard. Cereal, fuck. The move is you obviously let it soak in. You let the cereal get nice cereal now. Fruity Pebbles did go hard. Cereal, fuck. The move is you obviously let it soak in. You let the cereal get nice and wet. My mom would not buy that for me. No. And the worst thing about Fruity Pebbles

was when, like, as a kid, you were just lazy and you'd put the bowl in the sink without washing it out because you knew your mom would do it. And then they'd crust to the side. Yeah.

And you'd get, like, one crust to the side. Wait, you didn't turn the bowl up and drink it all out at the end? No, no, no. No, no, no. But there would still be, like, a few rogue pebbles. Oh, like a few clinging to the side? You didn't turn the bowl up And drink it all out at the end No no no But there would still be Like a few rogue pebbles

Oh like a few clinging to the side You gotta rinse those out Help your mom out Sometimes Even if your mom didn't She would assume That they would come off In the dishwasher

But they wouldn't And they'd come out of the dishwasher And there'd still be one pebble Just like plastered to the side It's like when you're If you make your own oatmeal Or rice And you don't clean out the

The pan soon enough Yeah The little saucepan. And then you look and it's like, you got to really scrub. Dude, Sally does this thing.

Not to expose her, but I've never cooked rice before. Yeah, I don't even know how. You've never done minute rice? You're a 46-year-old man with a son and you've never cooked rice.

I've never cooked rice before and I'm not 46. Dude, what? Yeah, never. What do you, how do you, do you not carb? You need carbs

unless you're keto. I'm not a big rice guy. Are you a ketosis? Stop. I'm not a big rice guy in general i'm not gonna cook it for myself but yeah i've never done it uh white rice is in my top five it's so good i fucking love it with just a hint of soy sauce for me when it's sticky and done right like from a nice korean place or thai place what's that it's the best what's that yellowish rice that you get? Pilaf? I don't know.

You get it with like... Rice Haroni? The San Francisco treat? It's not the San Francisco treat. Maybe with Greek food? When I lived there, they started calling me the San Francisco treat. No, they didn't.

Yeah, they did. You were there for like eight months. I was there for six months. I think it comes with Greek food, right? The yellow rice? Or am I high? I think you're talking about Pilaf.

No, I know what you're talking about. Y'all never even been to Greece, dude. I don't like wild rice. Wild rice is so bad. Like, dirty rice, wild rice. Get the fuck out of here. There's nothing even wild about it. It's disgusting. It's the least wild rice. I just want to, like, punt it across the room. It's disgusting. Yeah, for being called wild rice, it's pretty

tame. Yeah. Like, be wild one time for me. Yeah, it's not like, oh, dude, look at that dude. Look at that rice. Yeah, I want my rice over in the corner hitting a freestyle if I'm going to call it wild rice. Yeah, I want's not like, oh, dude, look at that dude. Look at that rice. Yeah, I want my rice over in the corner hitting a freestyle, if I'm going to call it wild rice. Yeah, I want him vaping and nothing wild about it. Rice can't hit a freestyle, David. What's the rice that has little peas in it?

Is that fried rice? That's fried rice. I don't know. Fried rice? I don't like fried rice. I don't hate fried rice. I would much rather have white. When you catch me at Hibachi,

which you can see me every Tuesday and Thursday at a Hibachi place, I'm going white rice every time. With Chinese food, I get brown rice. I'll fuck it up. Yeah. Nah, brown rice is pretty matoo. You don't know anything.

You know who has the worst rice? You don't know shit about rice. Pei Wei. Pei Wei's rice is trash. Man. They don't spend any time on it. It's an indication that it would be trash. Oh, wait.

Pei Wei is trash. A lot of people like Pei Wei. Don't shit on Pe oh wait, Pei Wei is trash don't shit on Pei Wei Pei Wei is the same as P.F. Chang's it's not the same Pei Wei is top 5 food bloating you will feel like absolute piss yeah but the Mongolian beef goes

it's better at oh it's better at the more expensive sit down restaurant, yeah no shit look dude don't let this distract you from the fact that Oh, it's better at the more expensive sit-down restaurant? Yeah, no shit. Okay. Look, dude, don't let this distract you from the fact that Dylan's never cooked rice. Dude, Sally's been doing this thing lately where she will, like, just put her stuff in the sink and then fill, like, a bowl with water and say, like, that she's just letting it soak so that it'll be easier to wash later.

And all it does is just ensure that I wash it later. Oh, that's... Because she knows that I can't... That's dumping the puck. That's punting. It's so bad. Yeah. How do I get her to stop doing this?

She knows that you're in a big cleaning phase right now because you're at home so much. And you've talked about how much you love cleaning. She's giving you stuff to do. It's ridiculous. I don't want to clean the eggs off of your pan. Just do it yourself. It's a lot easier when you just do it right away. Yeah, it is. Do it before you sit down and eat your eggs. Clean as you cook. That's what I try to do. I'm such a big clean the eggs off of your pan. Just do it yourself. It's a lot easier when you just do it right away. Yeah, it is.

Do it before you sit down and eat your eggs. Clean as you cook. That's what I try to do. I'm such a big clean as you cook guy. I can't enjoy a meal as much if I know that there's a big mess I have to do. This is stacked up, pots and pans. I hate that. Totally agree, Dave.

You've got to start eating rice If you wanna Some gains If you wanna If you wanna put on some masks You gotta go rice Remember when Dylan got fat During his avocado phase That was I think he over

Sold that He was not getting fat I got softer Is that why you weren't Posting thirst traps I got softer in the midsection Yeah Weren't you drinking a lot of wine

During that time though Yeah I'm always drinking a lot of wine See that's I haven't had a glass of wine In a minute I love wine i do we get it dude low-key a wino let's talk about our friends over at harry's liking wine isn't a personality trait what about pizza or tacos that's my we're petting the puppy at the party my favorite thing on

twitter sorry to interrupt this, it's gotten out of control. I love that people are exposing people. But it's gotten stupid. Like people are taking it too far. Yeah. The being like an in-shape hot girl who likes pizza, it's been worn out so much

and it's just so, it's the worst thing. It's like the most addictive food on the planet per science. So yeah, we get it. You like pizza. Yeah, you know who else likes pizza? Literally everybody. Yeah. It's the worst thing. It's like the most addictive food on the planet per science. So yeah, we get it. You like pizza. Yeah, you know who else likes pizza? Literally everybody. It's not that cool.

Pizza's only okay. What? You know the Italians. They taught the world how to eat. Don't forget that. You know, I don't eat pizza in the United States anymore. Only in Italy. Dude, stop.

I literally was at Cici's with you and your son two days ago. That's not true. He does like Cici's though, Dave. Yeah, we go sometimes. You too? Yeah, sometimes. That's where he keeps slipping off too. I try to teach him fatalities on Mortal Kombat.

He's having trouble. Fatality. Let's talk about Harry's real quick. People think that because I have a beard, I just don't have to shave anything. But they don't know that you have to keep your neckline in check. Dude, same. Dude, for your boy, it's the scariest part of shaving. It's so hard to shave your neck without like cutting yourself.

It's pretty much guaranteed every single time that you're getting razor burn. Not with Harry's. I've never had a smoother glide than with these guys. It's loco. Facts only. It's loco. Yeah. Harry's founders were tired of playing,

or paying up for razors that were overpriced and overdesigned. Much like the people at home who are listening to this read right now. Dave just took his shirt off. Dave is shirtless right now. Dave just popped the top. Dude, you just did shirtless ad reads. No one's popping tops in the middle of ad reads, Dave. These guys knew that a great shape doesn't come from gimmicks or vibrating heads, flex

balls, handles that look like spaceships. They don't need that. They don't need it. I do not want a handle if it look like spaceships. They don't need that. They don't need it. I do not want a handle if it looks like a spaceship. I don't need that. These are just tactics that just allow other people to raise their prices. It's a distraction. They fixed that by combining a simple, clean design with quality durable blades

at a fair price. Do you guys know that they actually bought a world-class blade factory in the homeland, Germany, Dave? Yeah, actually. I helped broker the deal. That's been making... been making did you i got 10 that seems like a good deal to broker yeah i'm doing pretty well yeah they've been making quality blades for over 95 years uh they've reached 20 000 five-star reviews on trust pilot and google google's big that's a big company to have 20 000 reviews on they used to call me trust pilot why i'm so sorry harry's has this aftershave balm that is just so delightful they honestly should change the name of it because

i will just use it even if i don't shave i get excited to shave and i do like you said i still forgot to use it today and i get so excited to shave because of the shave i go shave balm and then i go miss it feels so good and it smells even better. Once you let the post-shave balm set in, then you go mist. You give it like two minutes. Then you come hit it with the mist. I don't want to add anybody right now, but Harry's replacement cartridges are just $2 each, which is half the price of Gillette Fusion Pro Shield.

You just added Gillette. Hey, Gillette. You just got added. You just got exposed. They also come with 100% quality guarantee. No one's doing that in 2019. Hey, Gillette. You just got added. You just got exposed. They also come with 100% quality guarantee. No one's doing that in 2019. 100%. That's unheard of.

There's no room for error there. There's no room for error. It's 100%. Yeah. If you don't love your shave, let them know. They'll give you a full refund. See, they know that they're going to love it. That's the thing.

Right now, you can get a $13 value trial set that comes with everything you need for a close, comfortable shave. It's a weighted ergonomic ergonomic handle five blade razor with a lubricating strip and trimmer blade dave they used to call you lubricating strip back in your college days they have a rich lathering shave gel and a travel blade cover listeners can redeem their trial set harrys.com circling back make sure you go to harrys.com circling back to redeem your offer and let them know that we sent you to help support the show I had a lot of nicknames

I think lubricating strip is my favorite man I don't remember that I was there I remember I mean I know that we just got done shaving our necks and stuff but I could use some exfoliation by going into the steam room oh my gosh.

Is it time? Dave, get over here. Chill, man. Stop running. Got to put my flops on. He already has his shirt off, though. I want the tip on you, bitch ass. Dude, why'd you take your shirt off in the middle of the Harry's read?

I was taking off my quarters at my... Should we all take our shirts off? Dude, speaking of shirt off and razors in the steam room... You get it, dude. You shave your chest. There was a guy at the gym a couple days ago. Oh, man. Standing at the sink, he put shaving cream.

Basically, he covered his whole torso and his armpits. And he was shaving his chest right there in front of all of us. Swag. And he was like an older guy, too. It was a weird move. Do you trim your chest hair? He got his armpits. He got his chest.

No. You don't? No. I normally do. I don't? No. I normally do. I don't shave my chest, but if I am doing any kind of grooming like that, I do it in the comfort of my own home. Yeah, you do. Not in front of strangers, for chance.

That's a weird... You don't shave your armpits in front of other grown-ass men. He was shaving his pits? His pits, his chest, everything. Are you steaming on this right now? I think I am. Sounds like you are. This is an inadvertent steam.

I trim up my... I'm sure do pop each other a lot i trim up my chest hair a lot i don't like it really yeah i don't like it so i just do it all the time okay like i it i just don't like having it i don't know i feel i feel just cleaner when i have it trimmed up wait do you shave it or take a guard to it? I take a guard to it. Okay. I take a guard to it. Yeah. But I feel like kind of like a, I don't know, what's the word?

I can't picture your chest hair right now. I feel like I'm Metro when I do it, but I'm down with it. I just don't like having it on there. I've been on record saying, I don't do this, but I've been on record saying that it should be socially acceptable for dudes to trim their armpit hair. I think it's better for people who pit out i think it's to get it i think it's yeah because your your sweat doesn't travel around the hair dude i might do it pretty much i might do it this summer and do a test run i've already switched don't go bare i'm gonna go just

very minimum oh people do that i've already switched over to organic deodorant and it was a tough few weeks adjusting but i think i'm finally in that that good place schmitz for a year oh see i used schmitz i love it it uh it created like a wet sludge for me really yeah and i couldn't it felt like my armpits were still sweating see i've been using this one it's the cedarwood flavor wow or scent i really enjoy it i love smelling like wood i thought you were taking your shirt off again there for a second. Do you want me to? Yeah, I wouldn't mind it.

Can I steam on something real quick? Yeah, that's why we're here. This has also been something that's been really notable on Twitter lately. It's been memed and stuff like that. But this is part of the reason why I'm steaming on it. I want to talk about these Instagram stories that are just popping up more and more uh with birthday girls and their friends who are celebrating their birthdays people used to just post these photos of like their friends it would be like a good looking photo of them and like a decent looking photo of the girl whose birthday

it actually was and they just post them now because they don't want to like they want to maintain their aesthetic and they don't want to you know take up the real estate on their instagram page now they fully transition to just posting like 16 stories all at once that you have to click through it's driving me fucking nuts and the fact that this has been like a viral thing on twitter of people making fun of it and these girls are still doing it i just can't fathom what's going through their head when they do it what girls like looked at their friends have been like oh thank you so much for your instagram story that meant so much to me. And instead,

Instagram, if you click out of one and you skip forward to the next one, Instagram doesn't put that at the back of the pile. They keep it up there so you pretty much have to click through every single one.

I hate when that happens. What the fuck? Man, I don't know. Everyone does it now. It's just very, it's like protocol at this point. It's trash.

You have to do it. It's trash. You have to do it. It's trash. Yeah. It didn't bother me as much as it bothers you, apparently. You really torn up about this. You know how he is about Instagram. Yeah, that's true. Don't make me click through that shit.

Maybe I'm just mad at Instagram because they won't put it to the back if I skip out of it. If I transition out of the story and I try to go to the next one, you need to move that back so I don't see it again. That's fair. Maybe you're steaming with Instagram and not with the girls who post these stories. I'm actually adding Instagram right now. Wow, no one's doing that. I'm trying to think of the last one I saw because I'm pretty sure we're talking about the same people or thinking about them. Do they often say, happy birthday to this girl?

It says, like, birthday to this girl. Next slide. Like it's too much. Yeah. And they're all photos that like clearly are self-serving to the person actually posting them. Well, that's the whole point here. They get excited for their girl's birthday so they can put hot pictures of themselves up. And it's like it fits in the context.

I'm going to call it vicarious story posting. Because you are living vicariously through this person's birthday. And it doesn't have to be a birthday. Any event. And you're posting maybe a photo of you doing said event. Why didn't anyone do it for me? No one did it for me. No one did it for me.

I'm sorry. You guys didn't do it for me. I'm sorry. Your birthday didn't do it for me. I'm sorry. Your birthday? Yeah. What the hell? I'm overly cautious now on posting milestone or birthday things on Instagram. We're too old for that.

Yeah. Valentine's Day was a fucking nightmare. You know, even if I wanted to get a post off I just I couldn't do it It was a nightmare on Instagram It was too much Yeah

And like then people started Like you could tell that late in the day When people had already seen like a million posts That people just started Making like self-deprecating captions But they were still putting the post up Like yeah you're making a joke out of it because you know that's overdone,

but you're still doing it. Yeah. Chill. Dylan, why didn't you just post a photo of the UT sorority house? Oh, because I don't know any of them? So that'd be weird? Oh, you definitely do.

You just take kickboxing classes with them? Dickheads. That's the... I would love to see a photo of just Dylan. I went to a kickboxing class and it was full of college girls. Why did you go to a kickboxing class? Because I was invited by a friend. What a weird coincidence.

It would have been really funny for Dylan to... I didn't just go on my own. Because it wasn't like you were at a Muay Thai gym. You went to some kickboxing studio on campus. Yeah. I was invited. I didn't know what I was getting myself into. I showed up and I was like, oh, I'm the oldest one here they're like wow did you invent the sport ah come on man

what's next do you like wear their shirts out of the house like do you lampshade no i don't fucking lampshade i did find a a Kyle Omega shirt in my closet, though, from like 2003. Which one was it? It's navy blue. It may have been a softball shirt now that I think about it. Kyle had some dope shirts back in the day. If anybody wants a really soft, it's a cool shirt. Obviously, I can't wear it anymore.

Kyle Omega shirt from 03. Why can't you wear it? Because I'm a grown man. Just wear it. It's weird. Wear it to the gym. Yeah, you can have it. I'll send it to you.

There's some older guys at our gym who I see wearing UT recruitment shirts and it makes me wonder. Yeah, it's not a good look. Hey, while we're talking shirts, I'm going to do something real quick. Get it. You hung out with ladies.

I'm going to do something real quick. Oh, shit. So we've teased merchandise on this podcast before that we're going to do it. We're closer than ever. We're just waiting for the shirts to come in. If you want to know exactly when those shirts come out, go to washmedia.com. Do a little poking around.

There's going to be a place where you can enter your email address, and you'll know exactly when they drop. The reason I'm urging you to do this is because we didn't order a surplus. We're not going to have on-hand inventory for this. These are flying out the door day one. I guarantee it. We ordered between one and 200 of them. That's a fact. Go sign up, and so you know exactly when they get released.

I'm not trying to brag, but we paid an extra dollar per shirt just to make sure they were super soft. So you can see it. No one's doing that kind of stuff. So I'm just saying, just go poke around. Just go to washedmedia.com, poke around, sign up, and you'll get an email. If even 10% of our email list buys a shirt, you're out of luck. You're SOL. And I think, if I'm not mistaken, I think the email list will get first pick.

We're going to send an email out to the real ones. Well, that makes sense. Yeah. Yeah. Should we give the patrons the first chance? You know? You chance? You know? You know? You know?

Because you make a good point, Dylan. Right? There's nearly 3,000 of them. Patrons get first chance. That's fair. That's going to sell out. Patreon.com slash circling back podcast. I hope it does, Dylan.

The patrons are a rabid bunch. Patrons get first. Got to take care of the fam. They pay us. We're going to pay you back. I mean, if just like about 5% of the patrons buy a shirt, I'm doing the math. No, is that right? Yeah, that's right.

I'm confused. Dude, I'm not trying to sit here and do math. I'm not trying to do math either. I did one equation in my head. I'm done for today. I just got out of a steam room, dude. Yeah, we don't have enough shirts for every patron is what I'm saying. I'm fuzzy as fuck right now.

Yeah. Yeah, you need to drink more water. They should get first dibs. Yeah, they will. It only makes sense. If you want a shirt, just go to patreon. you need to drink more water. They should get first dibs. Yeah, they will. It only makes sense. If you want a shirt, just go to patreon.com slash circlingbackpodcast. You'll get first dibs. It's actually just going to be a photo of Dylan's Instagram story from last night.

Yeah. It's going to be on the shirt. It's a little sexual. We should put out socks of just Dylan wearing socks. Will you sell your socks? How much will you sell your socks for? I need my socks, man. No, you don't.

No, you really don't. No, you don't, though. Hey, let's talk bachelor okay um i've been waiting for this moment i need to some people the thing is some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this yeah i've been i've been asking like when are they gonna get ben higgins in here no one his haircut was fucking garbage i made the same comment. People were roasting him on Twitter. He deserved to get roasted. To myself? Oh.

What is... His haircut was terrible. Is he going, like, trying to bring Fuckboy back? Like, what was he... It was too shaved on the side. The severity of that was just so far.

It looks like that's what they do when they screw something up and they're like, we just gotta go down like bare bones. Did he just get done with, like, a military tour? And he just started letting it grow out on the top

it looked awful awful what like oh man what are you doing what are you doing stop i don't know i'll be honest i took i was sick on monday but i watched it on monday and i took nyquil so your boy was faded up during this entire episode. I watched it last night. What I do remember is that has-been-kissed girl went away on a train and she left voluntarily. It was uncomfortable. She straight up broke up with him, man.

What's up with that? He didn't look too broken up about it. She stunk. She didn't have a whole lot of personality but she was a nice, pretty girl. She was overrated. Who else went home? Kirpa. Kirpa.

Kirpa took an L. Kirpa kind of overstayed her welcome. No one knew why she was still around. It was weird. She went through half the season with a band-aid on her face, like Nelly, and then all of a sudden she was still there, like for hometowns almost. Yeah, that was weird. I don't remember her and Colton ever having like a connection.

Oh, is it Caitlin B? Or Hannah B? Oh, yeah. Alabama, Miss Alabama. I don't know if it's B, but. Yeah, it was Hannah. Hannah B. You're right.

She got the absolute disservice of meeting Colton's family getting that high she was wearing a crop top and then she went home I was about to say she was like surprised she was meeting my family and yes you are wearing a crop top she was definitely wearing a crop top Colton's gotta tell her like hey dress a little

chiller today instead she was wearing like something why would you bring her to meet your family to flex and show everybody your house? That's a pretty dope house. No, but why her? You could have brought anybody. I don't know.

Maybe because he wanted to immediately send her home. Right, it was strange. I will say that she handled going home very well considering she kind of puts out loose cannon vibes. She really cleaned it up

toward the end of her reign there. Yeah, I actually, it's kind of crazy to say that I actually kind of liked her at the end of the her reign there yeah i actually it's kind of crazy to say that i actually kind of liked her at the end if you take out like dude because caitlin is a caitlin might be crazy she might be the crazy one here and hannah like knows this inside information about her that no one else knows yet so she's like going insane because of it yeah i'm officially team hannah now i don't know how it happened if you take out all of hannah's she like started getting prettier and prettier to me too.

I was like, do my life. No, don't go that far. Don't go that far. If you take out all her weird video of her growling into the camera and doing that whole bit, she's actually a power player. Yeah. She's not my power player of the week by any means. She's your sneaky power player?

She's not my sneaky power player. She's my, eh, okay. You're doing better than I thought you were player of the week yeah okay okay she'll be great on paradise this question has nothing to do with this the current episode that we just watched but out of everyone that you know who do you think has the best chance to be the bachelorette this is the least bachelorette friendly group of girls one of cassie or hannah g i think has the best chance i disagree i i cannot see cassie carrying a show but i also couldn't see becca carrying a show which she didn't she let everyone else do energy i also couldn't see

rachel lind Lindsay could be a star can we finally admit that Rachel Lindsay sucks I've been admitting that for a long time y'all been saying it since she was on except every time I do that

I get called racist for it just be from who from people on the internet she sucks she does suck she also has cheekbones Brian

like come on what are you doing just because I think one come on I think I think I can see Hannah I can see Hannah.

I can see Hannah. Yeah. Is she the other beauty contestant? Yeah. I know that Bama, Hannah, and Demi are going to be incredible in Paradise, and I can't wait. Yeah.

Don't they hang out? Do they? I'm calling it now. Hannah G is your next bachelorette. That's the doe-eyed chick? Yeah, the really cute blonde. Yeah. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.

We just botched that. It was probably my fault. I asked if she was the other pageant chick, and y'all said yeah. Oh, no. Kaylin's the other pageant chick. Okay. Sorry. Kaylin.

All right, all right. I didn't understand you. When Colton told her the other day he's like I love seeing your smile and then she smiled I wanted to be like this is the least attractive part of her the doe eyed chick is a man outfitters model

yeah what's up with that oh yeah if you go to manoutfitters.com not a sponsor anymore well she's not a man outfitters model she modeled for one of

the clothing brands that man outfitters carries I think it was southern marsh whatever it makes sense it's still it's still Southern Marsh. The fact that her name is content creator just still doesn't sit well with me.

She has a really big following, I believe. But she has a terrible... The biggest of all the girls on the show. She has terrible content. What is the content she creates? I do think that when it comes to selecting the new Bachelor or Bachelorette, I do think they take social media numbers into account. For sure.

Kaylin. They want to get more exposure. Do y'all think Kaylin, the one I was originally talking about, the other pageant lady, do you think she has potential for a Bachelorette? No. No.

Okay. I do. After saying, like, calling what's-her-name a stupid bitch and all that in the interview segment of the show, I don't... She called somebody a stupid bitch and all that in the interview segment of the show. She called somebody a stupid bitch? Yeah.

You mean stupid dick, right? No, she actually said bitch. I think she does have staying power. I think she's... I could see her going to Paradise. If she plays Paradise right, she could easily get selected as a Bachelorette. All right, look. I want to say something about Cassie real quick.

A few weeks ago, I made a comment about a middle part about how it's an unattractive look on a girl. What? Go ahead. And I was really looking at Cassie, and I would like to issue a follow-up statement. And double down on it, because it is a trash hairstyle.

You can't double down. I'm doubling down. It's so bad. No, there are numerous girls out there who have pivoted to the center part who I've been like, you're improved. No. No. You're improved.

Okay, and I'm done with that. We can move on. Wow. Dylan Stock is, what's his stock doing right now? Posting thirst traps on IG, telling girls how to wear their hair. I'm not telling anybody how to wear their hair. Wow. I'm not telling anybody how to wear their hair. Wow. I'm not telling anybody how to wear their hair.

Taking kickboxing classes at the Theta house. Yeah. What are you doing? This has not been a good episode for me. It's been one of my favorites so far. Anything else on Rachel Lindsay? Yeah. She's a, no.

Yeah. Do you have any Kirpa takes that you want to air out right now? No. Kirpa seemed tight. Kirpa, she went all in on being the snitch. I think she really in her mind thought that Cassie was going home. Yeah, I think she did too. And then it went the opposite way.

I think she did too. Kirpa was like, remember when Adam and some other dude were just left over in Rachel's season? And everyone was like, how are these guys still here? And finally she just sent both of them home. That's what Kerpa was. It was like, dude, just get her out of here. I said some complimentary things about Kerpa a few weeks ago.

I don't remember what they were. But then last night as I was watching, I was like, oh yeah, Kerpa is still here. She's just lingering. Her little back and forth with Cassie was heated. I don't even remember it. I think I was like it was awkward

straight rubble tripping at that point do we have anything else on it? so next week next week we have hometowns well I have something on hometowns this week's hometown

with Colton Colton's dad total alpha okay but his shirt oh yeah his shirt was terrible he looks like he's on TRT total alpha. Okay, but his shirt. Oh yeah. His shirt was terrible. He looks like he's on TRT. What was his shirt?

No, his shirt is what you see, like Barrett wears shirts like this. It's like the long, like the trinity that's really long and has like a, I don't even know how to describe it. But it was tight.

It was tight, but like long. Yeah. You have to be in really good shape to wear those. Yeah, Barrett's allowed to wear those. And you have to be under 28. His dad is the guy at the gym who's around 50. He's got good-sized arms, and he can put up quite a bit on bench press.

His dad puts out the vibe of a guy who's really, really mean as a Little League coach. Yeah. Probably took it too far. Yeah. But if you want to create an alpha... Whose hometown are you most looking forward to? Cassie? I want to see what...

Why? Dude, I don't get it. I want to see what Hannah G's mom's working with. Okay. Cassie has a sister who's super, super hot and dates some kind of movie star or something. Really?

Yeah. Tom Cruise. Not Tom Cruise. She's a Scientologist? What if that was like one of the girl's secrets, that she was a Scientologist? Is The Bachelor brave enough to have a Scientologist. Is the Bachelor brave enough to have a Scientologist Bachelor?

No. People have been wondering. No. David Miscavige? Be good TV. I was going to ask... For the hometown, they just go to the headquarters?

Dude, the reason I asked about... They go to the Sea Org? Kaylin and her Bachelorette prowess, potentially. Is she a woman of color? Kaylin. I don't know. She's got some... Because I think...

She's got some mixed flavor. Is she mixed race? We can admit that if you have any kind of, you know, ethnicity or minority traits, that they are going to err towards you at this point because they need to... They're tired of probably hashtag bachelor so white yeah well don't get silent like that made me feel like i said no i'm just thinking i like how i didn't know how to say it i missed any traits no it's fine uh well they have not had a black bachelor yet kenny should have been it. Eric should have been it.

I'm sorry. Kenny is too electric. Eric should have been it. Eric was dope. Eric had so much swag. What's Eric doing? He's got a good... I unfollowed him, but he has a good Instagram status.

Do you follow anyone from the old seasons of The Bachelor still? JoJo. Just JoJo. She's a content queen. Yeah. I think that's it. I think I've unfollowed most of them. Because I'm in love with JoJo.

I had to unfollow Jason Tartik. Oh, I unfollowed Jason too. He was getting too generic. Too generic post-Bachelor life. I'm not going to expose anybody, but maybe a former slash current Bachelor that we may or may not have had on this podcast

might have said that Jason might have lobbied a little too hard to get the role. Yeah. You just did a lot of exposing, actually. No, I didn't expose anything because I gave no details. Oh, obviously I still follow the stone man. Oh yeah, the

stone man. I think he's so far out of the universe of Bachelor, though. Yeah. I follow stone man Colton and I think that's it. I don't even follow JoJo. I can't unfollow JoJo. I just follow the dudes. I'm too in love with her. Let's do This Weekend of Fun.

As always This Weekend of Fun is sponsored by Eisenhower's on Rainy Street in Austin, Texas. Not to swag too hard. Your boy went there

on Saturday. Not to swag even harder but we might have a little South by Southwest action going on at Eisenhower's on Rainy Street. That's true. So, you know, be listening. I went there Saturday, and I want to give a shout out. As I was leaving, I had to go to a wedding.

I ran into a large, large group of backers. At Eisenhower's? Yeah. Same people we saw the night before? Yep. People together. Yep. People together. Wow. Yep, saw them.

They gave the gas, and I hope they had fun there. Man, they keep their gas cans on them at all times. They're just pouring gas everywhere. Everyone I went with, they all got the sangrias, and I knew I had to do wedding stuff, so I was like, I can't get too deep in the sangria, so I just got an ice cold Pacifico. But they go hard.

The sangria, if you're willing to... Well, they were on vacation. Just go hard. No, just let it rip. Just let it rip. Yeah, top it off. If you're willing to let it rip, you're good. It's sangria with champagne.

Yeah. Yeah. And you have one of those, for me at least. No, two gets you on a level. Two puts you... Yeah. I had two on a Sunday once with you. I was gone.

Yeah. Dylan, start it off, man. You got nothing planned this week, and you're really looking forward to it. Friday, I have the homie. Probably going to lay low, catch a dinner somewhere. Maybe watch a Disney movie. I don't know. Shut the fuck up.

Saturday and Sunday, I have nothing going on, and I'm so excited for it. Are you going to get a date off or anything on Saturday? Like, what's up? I have no plans to do anything right now, Saturday or Sunday. I'm open to golf. I'm open to a brunch of some sort on Sunday. I'm open to pretty much anything. When's Roundup?

You just did a really, really poor rendition of Uptown Girl, one of the greatest songs of all time. People are queuing it up on their Spotify right now. It's not one of the greatest songs of all time. Oh. No, it's not. Billy Joel. Billy Joel. Dylan's right. Uptown Girl's a class. Piano Man's better than Uptown Girl. It's definitely a top 100 song of all time.

Piano Man's better than Uptown Girl definitely a top 100 song of all time piano man's better than uptown girl much much okay i have i i don't want to sound like a broken record i have absolutely nothing like it's kind of weird how little i have planned this weekend you want to link up at some point maybe maybe like can we get like a a real heavy beer somewhere yeah we can do that last weekend turned into like a really busy weekend for me. Out of the blue, I had a bunch of shit I had to do. Too much. Too many obligations. This weekend, I really have nothing going on. It's bizarre.

What's the weather supposed to be like this weekend? I think pretty decent, actually. You know what? I'll look right now. It looks like it's acceptable. I feel like you're acceptable. It's great for me. Saturday and Sunday.

Well, Friday, it could rain. But Saturday and Sunday, high in the mid-60s and partly cloudy to just straight up sunny. Wow. That's going to be beautiful. Love it. I mean, that means I'm going to get a park off with my dog. Get a park off. But yeah, I truly have nothing.

I don't know. I kind of want to keep it low-key. I'm not going to go out, but I will maybe entertain a dinner, do something like that. We'll see. Maybe I'll find myself at Eisenhower's just because I had all this pent-up energy from Friday and Saturday doing nothing that I just go hard on Sunday. I'm kind of in the mood for El Alma. No, I'm good. Okay.

If I wasn't down, I would go to El Alma with you. Thanks, Dave. It's a great spot. It is a great spot. Should we get out of here? We probably should. Make sure, if you want to catch Friday's episode, go to Circling Back on Patreon. That's patreon.com slash circlingbackpodcast.
