all right we're back circling back podcast coming to you live from the beautiful Austin, Texas area. My name is Will DeFreeze. To my right, Dylan Chivary. Hello, Will. Very happy to be here. If you're wondering why I got an intro, I was going to say first intro, but just getting an intro is such an honor. It's big for you. Yeah, Dave's not here. He's got a sore throat. He doesn't feel right, so I'm here, and I feel like it's going to be a really good episode you made it sound like you're here because dave is not here sometimes i feel that way oh okay so he gets he gets like these dope intros all the time like you're introducing like the starting lineup uh you know a basketball game or something and it's like oh dylan's here too anyway I mean I do it that way because I I've always done it that way and at this point mixing it up just doesn't feel right

like it's muscle memory for me to say all right we're back circling back podcast coming to you live from Austin Texas uh my name is Will DeFries to my david ruff to be clear i have no problem with you introing dave first i don't think you do okay good yeah just like the the emphasis you use to introduce dave compared to sometimes my introductions yeah you know here's the thing imagine like you know you know during a uh a basketball game national basketball association you're familiar with their work yes um they have like really good intros for the starting lineups you know what i mean that's kind of before the game started before the game starts it would be like if a sixth man was coming on and they were like and the sixth man coming on dylan shivery right but you're you're calling me the sixth man

i'm off the i'm coming off the bench no no it's that was a terrible analogy no it's but you're calling me the sixth man. I'm coming off the bench. No, no. That was a terrible analogy. So you're taking the wrong part of the analogy. What I'm trying to say is that's mid-game, whereas the other ones are pre-game. So the vibes are different. The vibes are different. But still, I'm coming off the bench when Dave is, you know, Dave is, well, he's the star. He's the starter. He's averaging like 28 and 12 i get why you're

taking it that way because that's probably how i would be taking my analogy as well i think most people would but but that's not what i meant by it hey can we get can we get arch off these scooters around ut campus what's going on you see this arch manning you can't have my man's riding a bird scooter to class those things are uh but it you know a shredded acl waiting to happen why is he taking a bird scooter to class when uh quinn ewers was taking like a lambo to class uh the lambo was bijons i think i think quinn actually drives an aston martin around. Which is somehow more ridiculous. I don't think he drives it to class.

He drove it to the football game. And then he got towed during the opening game. The UT campus is famously very large. It's nicknamed the 40 Acres. You heard of this? And walking to class is often a journey. And so I guess some kids take scooters. But we don't need our future on one of

these things. You think Peyton would ride a scooter to class? No. He's got to know better, man. Those older quarterbacks, that's when quarterbacks used to be men. Now these guys are getting on their two-wheeled scooters. These kids are soft.

Scanning their apps and these QR codes. Yeah. Gross. Anywho, how are you doing today? Dude, I don't know what's up. I don't know what's up. You off your shit? I'm lackluster today.

I mean, smack you around a little bit? No, if there's one thing that usually gets me back into grind mode, it's definitely recording circling back. And so I think it's all going to be fine. But yeah, your boy's kind of a little lethargic today. The combination of bing bong and circling back usually peps me up quite a bit. I have slight concerns that whatever Dave's out with... You got it.

That maybe low-key, I got it from him. I have been seeing a lot of Dave lately. I spent Saturday night with him. I hung out with him all Monday, all Tuesday. His amateur diagnosis is an upper respiratory infection. Mm-hmm. So we'll see how true that is. Yeah. My diagnosis of his diagnosis is that he's got low-key COVID vibes. Oh, shit.

Isn't upper respiratory, doesn't that sound like it would be a little COVID-y? Yeah. I don't really believe in COVID anymore, though. Okay. Yeah. That's an angle. Sure. i don't really believe in covet anymore though that's okay yeah that's yeah that's an angle sure if dave i don't think dave has coveted i think we know i think he would have looked worse yesterday he says no fieve that's good that's good that's good no fee i got a fever you know what that fever is for list or voicemails on patreon tomorrow patreon.com slash circling back podcast as you know we're doing so much content from beyond the paywall these days. Tuesdays, we're doing exactly five minutes and or touching based and or do you know it?

A game show podcast hosted by Randy Trumbacki. On Thursdays, we do listener voicemails. If you want to leave us one, 888-618-4422. Again, 888-618-4422. And finally, on Fridays, from now until the end of that season, the Love Island boys are congregating on Friday mornings in the office. We're doing three weekly episodes on Patreon right now. It's never been a better time to absolutely feast as a fully optimized patron. Has there ever been a better time to take

advantage of our 14-day free trial on patreon no and like i'm not we're not just saying that like if you are going to try patreon there's a really good opportunity to do so you have a 14-day trial and you have three episodes dropping we're doing five episodes a week of circling back white literally never a better time than right now also you get with that 14-day free trial you get every episode we've ever released on Patreon. Facts. You can just binge hardcore. I'm going to do some frequently asked questions

regarding Love Island Fridays. Okay. The first. The first. No. It's not replacing any other episode. Why would we do that? The second frequently asked question.

What tier do I need to be subscribed on in order to get these episodes? While I did toss around allowing some people to just do the Tuesday ones, just the Tuesday tier, I don't think that's fair. I don't think that's fair. You have to be a fully optimized patron in order to get these Love Island episodes. The reason being is that if we open it up to the supplemental Tuesday tier, that means thatlemental Tuesday people are paying $5 for two episodes. That's not fair to the Opto patrons. That's just how it is. That 14-day free trial applies to the Opto tier, by the way. Correct. Correct. So you can get all of our content for free for 14 days. The final question that we've been getting, and this has probably been the biggest one,

The final question that we've been getting, and this has probably been the biggest one. What episodes will we be covering on Friday? We are going off the Hulu schedule. We're not going off the UK schedule. What we are going to start doing is we are going to start watching Thursday night's episode. Or I guess, I'm sorry. We're going to start watching the episode that releases at 2 a.m. our time on Friday morning. We are going to start watching that before we record the episode.

Are you aware of this? No, this is new to me. Okay. This is information I need. The reason we're doing this is because it seems necessary, and a lot of people already want us to do it. Is that Friday episode, is it a regular episode, or is it one of the recap ones?

It's a regular episode and it's usually one of the most dramatic episodes of the week. So here's how we're going to do that. We're either going to watch it illegally the night before based on the UK stream, which I will send out to you and Dave. Or... Watch it in the office. Y'all can come in and watch it in the office. I usually do Sunday Scaries recording first thing in the morning on Fridays.

So I'll probably do that. If you guys want to watch Love Island during that time, I'll be ready. That sounds like a winner. You know, I'll be ready. So yeah, we will be watching every episode of that week from, you know, when we last recorded up until Friday. And I'm actually very excited for tomorrow's episode because I've not gotten a lot of takes out of Dylan this season.

And so I'm saving it for the episode. Quite excited. Anyway, I'm sorry about all those official biz things. It's all right. Sometimes you got to do it, man. Dylan, can I ask you some real quick questions before we get into today's episode? Yeah. Can you give me a very quick bird's eye review of Utah as a ski destination i would love to um that was my first time in utah first time obviously skiing in utah um you asked me is it like colorado yeah it's the same thing yeah like if i if i if i got on the wrong plane if i home alone it home alone to it and i got on the wrong plane what uh you if you landed in Utah, like expecting to land in Colorado, you wouldn't know the difference.

Yeah, and I just went to a ski area. Would I not really know? So we flew into Salt Lake City, and we drove to Park City, which is 40 minutes. It's like landing in Denver and driving to, I mean, Breckenridge is a little bit farther. It's like landing in Denver and driving to Denver. Am I right?

Actually, yeah. It's a 40-minute drive. It's nothing. Park City is fantastic. There was so much snow, by the way. Yeah, the only difference is like between Colorado and Utah is like you can't burn. That's it. I'm kind of surprised you can't burn.

I feel like if you're a western state with mountains, they just got to let you burn. The city, Park City city that is awesome it's a little ski town but it has like a main main street and it's just a strip of bars and restaurants and shops kimo sabe britney got some swag there oh really she did yeah shit um it's it's it's a fun it's it's more of a fun vibe than it is like a mountain, western-y resort town. Okay. You know? Okay. The reason I'm interested is I've never really dabbled in Utah.

It's more of a scene. Like, it's a fun place. How's the skiing there? The skiing's really good. Like I said, we got a lot of snow. how's the skiing there the skiing's really good like i said we got a lot of snow uh we did one day in park in park city one day in deer valley they're like it's like a 10 minute drive from each other so it's super close um i probably prefer the skiing at deer valley a little bit more to park city park city on front tree right now no borders that's not the reason why

i enjoy deer valley more but no snow borders there i hate that yeah i don't yeah well what's the reason for that i think elitism a lot of kids a lot of ski school kids at deer valley that something tells me that has something to do with it i don't like that i don't either because snowboarding has been around for so long that it should not be looked at as like some like alternative way to get down a mountain one guy in our crew was a boarder and so he just like didn't come with us that sucks i know that sucks i know i also think it's weird because like i mean as i i really part of my the reason i enjoyed skiing is to be on a chairlift and watch things yeah i think it's way more fun to watch six snowboarders than it is to watch six skiers. I don't have a problem with that.

That's my take. Yeah. Park City and Deer Valley both, it's great. I would highly recommend. Beautiful, fun, good skiing. Oh, and I, on yesterday's episode, I did tell the story, yesterday's Patreon episode, that is. yesterday's episode I did tell the story uh yesterday's patreon episode that is I did tell the story of um our group got to witness a a young lady uh defecate in the street right outside of

condo okay outside our house can you tell the story quickly so that I don't have to like relive it again we get there we drop our bags go get a beer at the bar, come back. And then, uh, Laura, the, uh, our friend who's, whose house it is, they, she goes, oh my gosh, there's a woman about to pee on the street because she had pulled her pants down. She was starting to squat. So of course we all like run to the window to go see what's going on. And she was probably 50 feet from us. And as soon as I, I look up and try to watch to see what's going on,

she wasn't peeing at all. In fact, she was pooping, quite a bit of poop. It was gross, but it was hilarious, and it started – it was a great tone setter for our trip. So we watched that happen, and you've got to feel bad for someone. I'm not going to shame this woman. I can't do it. I can't shame her because if you're in that scenario,

if you find yourself in a scenario where you have to go do that. As someone who infamously shat himself on a road trip and wrote about it, I can only empathize with this young lady because that's a tough situation. She did her business real quick, pulled her pants up, head down, and just walked off. That's what you got to do. You can't look up to see who's around. You just got to head down, take care of your business, and then you're off.

But it was hilarious. It was absolutely hilarious. Anyway, Park City, great town. Did you get Parks any swag since his name is Parks? I did. I got him a beanie that says Park City, Utah on it, and I it to him he goes park city he's like that's my name it's like that i was like yeah that's how it's kind of going for man so i'm glad you like it how's the parking there got little bay a uh little stuffed polar bear how's the polar bears in park city uh-huh

oh do you ask about the parking yeah what what are you gonna call it park city if you don't have like the best parking in the nation? I don't know if that's why they named it that. Word. Yeah. Word. They named Athletic Greens Athletic Greens because the greens are really athletic. Yeah.

These had to do with somebody that we talk about often on this podcast. Of course, I'm talking about Leonardo DiCaprio. Leo. Well, it looked like he might have been dating a 19-year-old for a little bit. He famously dumps everyone at, what, 25? I think 25 is the number.

Well, so 19 means that he could have a nice six-year relationship with this woman. It has since come out, Dylan, that he is not dating Eden Polanyi. Yeah. Yeah, I'm seeing this now for the first time. A source close to Leo is saying that they're absolutely not dating. They were photographed together at a party on January 31st, and then everything started to really go a little haywire.

When I first saw this news, I thought, oh man, Leo doing Leo things. He's just dating these young models, blah, blah, blah. And then I started to really let it set in a little bit. And I started thinking, you know what? I don't think Leo should be dating 19-year-olds. There's a 29-year age difference there. That's pretty significant.

I feel like they are dating. I know the source is saying that they're not, but I feel like they are dating. I know the source is saying that they're not, but I feel like they kind of are. They seem to be... I mean, okay. They've been photographed together more than once. There's a picture of them on a yacht right here together. Or is that not her? To be honest, Dylan,

I'm trying to figure out if that is her or not. Maybe it's not. Like, I... No, this sounds like he was just with a lot of different women. I think Leo just puts himself in situations with young women, and he's got no clue if they're 25, if they're 19, if they're what. He better be IDing when he goes to the bedroom. That's all I'm saying.

Okay, where were they when this picture was taken? I believe the picture of them was taken at a party. Music release party in LA. In LA, yeah. For Ebony Riley's EP. What did you think of Ebony Riley's EP? Did you like it? No.

I gave it like four stars. I thought about giving it four and a half, but I think four stars out of five. I like her last EP a little bit more. Facts. She just really brought it on that one. Facts. I always think that the early EPs are a little bit better

because you're using the songs that you know are hits and then the subsequent ones are a little more experimental. EP, of course, stands for... Will, I'm letting you fill in the blank here. Dude, everyone knows what it is. I think it's extended play. It's like a... Do you know, Randy?

This seems like something Randy would know. I think it's between... I think it's a short album. It's like a handful of songs, like four or five songs, I think. Right? it's a short album. It's like a handful of songs, like four or five songs I think. Right? I have to know now. It means extended play.

EP stands for extended play, meaning that an EP is longer than a single but shorter than an album. There you go. I like EPs. I kind of crushed that. I kind of like EPs. You did. I'm actually surprised you knew what that was. No offense.

But if you're – okay, if you're Leo and you know that you have a reputation of dating very young, very attractive women, you can't sit next to a very young, very attractive woman and be photographed with her. He does that at all times though. He doesn't roll with unattractive women. He just surrounds himself with – okay. So they're friends? We're supposed to believe they're just friends i would i don't think i don't i think i think that people of his age dating 19 year olds i think it works better to date them than it does to actually be friends with them i almost think it's creepier to be friends with them it's like yeah what are you guys texting about right now oh this new ep we just listened to

are you of the belief that a man and a woman can't be, okay, a single man and a single woman can't be friends with each other if they are also mutually attracted to each other? I don't know where my take falls on this. I think that men and women can be friends platonically, but I also think that most men and women would not become friends with somebody who they wouldn't see themselves have dated dating or would have dated at some point in their lives like i think that there is i think that there is a mold that that friendship fits in and i think that at a different time in their life they might have gone on some dates and been friends or whatever but i think it can work i've been i have I have platonic female friends. I don't have as

many these days now that I'm married. I think that's weird. Like it's weird for me to go out for a drink with somebody that I'm friends with when my wife is at home with my kid. Like I'm not going to do that. So I think that's kind of fallen off. I think in general, you can be platonic friends. You can, if one is attracted to the other, you can still pull it off, but it's difficult. If both – if they're mutually attracted, I think it's almost impossible. I think if one person knows the other one is attracted to them, they should not have that friendship exist. I think that is doing them an emotional disservice. It's getting a little male-in-y.

It is. I was just thinking that. I almost just said that. OK. But Leo – I want Leo to date a 23-year 23 year old again i don't want him dating uh teenagers i think that gets into a territory uh yeah that is sketchy people started having fun with numbers and they were figuring out like oh she actually dealt with like covid in high school yes yeah she had high school classes canceled when titanic was released she was negative seven years old which is wild to think about 29 years is it's probably too

much unless you're like you know 79 and 50 have you ever had any notable age discrepancies you don't have to answer that um i i've dated someone nine years younger than me oh okay yeah yours is bigger than mine nine years bigger than mine but i was i had five or six at one point and i i wasn't it wasn't a serious relationship. I was like 34 at the time. She was 25 when we started dating, which it felt a little weird to me, but I don't think that's a huge deal. No, that's different than if you were 29 at the time and she was 20.

You know what I mean? Yeah, totally agree. Changes things. Yeah, the older you get, the less weird it becomes. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. Leo, if you you get, the less weird it becomes. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. Leo, if you're listening to this podcast, we know you're a big backer. You're not opto yet, though, which seems weird.

Yeah, it might not surprise you guys to learn that Eden Polanyi is quite attractive. So he certainly has a type. Here, I'm going to her Instagram profile right now. She had 30,000 followers the last time that I saw her on here she's not verified yet um i can't she's not even coming up for me um but uh yeah he's got types he's got types does dylan i'm excited for this next segment what's the next segment we talked about this recently we talked about what it feels like to be paying for something out out in public and they hand you the ipad and you're tipping for something that you traditionally have never had to tip for this is actually um a

major topic of discussion the first day we went skiing we had like lunch what started it um what started it was it was like a cafeteria kind of situation you take a tray you go get your food to bring it up to someone waiting at a cashier you pay for it and then you walk to your table and eat so you're doing like all the legwork literally all of it and you have you had to select a tip option. And the base was 10%. Like that's the lowest you could tip was 10%. Cashiers should be paid a living wage. Yeah.

And so that just started this whole bigger discussion about tipping and how tip crazy the world has gotten. Well, I guess just in the United States mainly. Well, so this goes, and this article from Grub Street, they talk about the ideas around tipping these days. They note that it used to be tips were 15% to 20%. Now anything less than 20% looks like you didn't have good service. Someone brought up that at the Austin airport,

you know how they have the little mini markets there where it's like there's just someone sitting in a chair by the cash register. You go pick out a ball of water and like a wrapped sandwich and bring it up to them. On their little point of sale thing, you can't select zero. Like they have options. You have to have options like 10%, 15%, 20%. There's no like custom zero. You can't just like no tip%, 20%. There's no custom zero. You can't just like no tip.

Well, that's fine, dude. You have to tip at least one cent. It's not like airports traditionally upcharge stuff. So it's fine. Unbelievable. I do think that now if I tip something, if I tip 15% on something, I immediately think that I'm being disrespectful. I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm being an asshole to this person. How did the service industry create this shaming phenomenon?

It's like – It's not the service industry. Did you say service industry? Yeah. It's not the service industry. It's the apps that are doing this. They're trying to bring in more money. What apps are you talking about like whatever

apps that you're running the credit cards through square shit like that because they're trying to bring in as much money as possible because they're taking a processing fee on every single part they flip that screen around to you fucking ass after you buy a seven dollar latte and it's like right in front of their face you know you select how much you're tipping them. And it's like – I feel like a dickhead right now if I do zero. Let's go through some of these. Let's go through some of these and let's see how we feel about doing these tipping things, OK? Because there's a lot of these, and I'll say this right now, that I straight up don't agree with. Like I don't – and I might be the asshole here.

Well, let's – first, let's start with how the base tip has shifted upward. Like 15 used to be like kind of base. Now it's 20. 20 is like minimum. Being a former waiter, I would never do less than 20. I would always pretty much do exactly 20 just because. Like I – it's like second nature for me to calculate a 20% tip. That's what I write down that's

what i do and so it doesn't really affect me in that way the only way that i would ever tip 15 for somebody is if they did a bad job or if they completely fuck something up right or if it's something that i don't think you should tip for and i don't have any other way of tipping i think 10 years ago we'll say 10 to 20 years ago a a 20% tip was considered really good. Yeah. Now it's baseline. Yeah. Now it's expected.

Okay. So, Dylan, I'm going to read this, and then I want you to tell me what you would tip here. Okay. Oh, no. This is not going to work. I'd have to re-script this entire thing. Okay. This says at coffee shops, coffee carts, cafes, bodegas, you have to tip at least 20%.

Okay, if you're ordering a single coffee, that's not much money, right? No. Let's say a coffee is six bucks. What if you get – no, let's say you get a coffee. Coffees are like three bucks, aren't they? Well, depends where you go and what kind of coffee you're getting. Okay, let's say a coffee is $5. Okay, okay.

20% tip, that's a buck. That's not like... That makes sense to me. That sounds reasonable. That makes sense to me. Yeah. But if I get a coffee and a scone and it's $9, I don't think I need to tip uh i mean two

dollars on that i don't either i don't want to tip two dollars on that i think it's a dollar what like the bigger picture here is that that you didn't that didn't used to be a tipping situation if you if that okay like 20 years ago there wasn't a tip line at at you know a coffee shop but i don't hate tipping if some if they're making the coffee drink that makes sense to me i don't hate it either i don't hate it either i i'm fine tipping i'm not tipping on a scone you didn't do shit you handed if every single person this lot of people is getting tipped on a scone you're making like 120 an hour that's pretty good work but 20 for coffee is the same expectation as a waiter or waitress who serves you for an entire hour-long meal, bringing you, refilling your water, bringing your food, and giving you recommendations.

That shouldn't be the same percentage to me. This says that if you only order coffee, the minimum tip is just a dollar. Just a dollar. And I think that's fair. I'm okay with doing a dollar. I don't necessarily want to do a dollar. If it's a drip coffee where you're just doing it on a thing and then you turn around and hand it to me like just know i'm gonna give you a dollar because i'm not a jerk but you don't

deserve that dollar yeah you should be getting a living wage from your from your person you should be mad at your boss not me this coffee trailer across the street from us which makes really good coffee but that's not the point they just upped their prices they were already expensive it's so expensive now yeah like i'll go over there if i get a coffee and two breakfast tacos i'm in for 20 bucks how much are you tipping for food delivery do you do food delivery very often uh we we probably do it uh once every week or two weeks yeah we do it we did it last night actually we do it once a quarter that might even be overstating how often we do food delivery um how much would you say you have to tip on that honestly the the those apps they like they give you like a tip recommendation i

usually just go with whatever that is i don't even know i don't really know the percentage on it this is an area where i'm willing to tip a lot more. I agree. I don't have a problem with that. Can you give us, as a former Jimmy John's guy, can you give us a breakdown from someone who was on the ground level of what someone should tip somebody doing food delivery? I would say 20% is minimum for that. Some people would do less. And definitely with sandwiches, it was like, oh, if I just put $1, even though it's like a $6 sandwich six sandwich order so some people just didn't

really understand but i think 20 is minimum for i totally agree with that if not maybe more honestly because think about what someone bringing you a sandwich is like the convenience level the convenience factor is off the charts you sit on your ass at the office or at home. They do everything for you. They deserve a good tip. Agreed. If you're handing me a fucking coffee, I'm sorry, but you don't deserve the same level, the same percentage of tip.

I know that it's like five bucks compared to a $10. I guess that's still pretty cheap. I guess you maybe order for more people, but that is much more deserving of a decent tip than someone handing me food yeah yeah yeah this says for food delivery tip a minimum of five dollars or twenty percent whichever is greater five isn't enough no that's but this is for something if this was small if

this was a small thing just from being delivery at all five dollars it says whichever is greater okay i don't agree with that okay listen dollar jimmy john sandwich i'm getting a five dollar tip that was like whoa this person's really nice like we're as a delivery driver i was never expecting a five dollar tip okay but the work that you put into delivering one sandwich is the same as if you brought 10 sandwiches if i got a six dollar jimmy john sandwich and it was getting delivered to me i'm five dollars so fast that i might freak right uh i'm i don't think that tipping five dollars on top of that is that egregious it's not it's not i don't think it's crazy it's not their fault that your order is small hey randy here's a question for you do people ever do zero percent or not tip and then give you a cash tip

and if so would that be something that you would prefer or not prefer? See, that's a very like old person thing to do. Cause it's like, yeah, don't put this on your taxes. But in reality, like all of our stuff was getting cashed and it was all going through anyways. So didn't really matter in the end. Actually, I'll say that I preferred it being on the little receipts because then having to carry all that cash and then maybe having change for people with cash was a way more stressful than just having someone write on the pre-tipping beforehand. Okay. Pre-tipping beforehand was the best because you just drop off the food and not worry about it. You don't have to sit there awkwardly while someone fills out the thing right in front of you.

That was the original. Terrible. Like, here's my receipt. What are you going to write on it? Yeah, I hated that. I used to get food delivered at Grand X and I would be sitting in my cubicle. They'd walk up and you'd sign the receipt right there. And it was like, man, I don't want to do this right now. Here's the next one. Picking up takeout says you must tip at least 10%. Here's the thing.

I got bad news and I might step on a soapbox right now. Picking up takeout food. I'm sorry. You're not doing much. When I opt for picking up takeout food, I'm sorry. You're not doing much. When I opt for picking up takeout as opposed to having delivered, I'm doing it to save money. Yeah. Yes. Yes. And so, like, I'm taking all the legwork out of it to make your job easier and my job harder. I've gotten to the point, too, where I have my pickup places, like my takeout places that I go to to pick up.

And I gravitate towards the places where I don't even have to talk to somebody. It's on a shelf and I can go up and I can grab the one that says Will D on it. I'm like two or three bucks on this. Dude, I don't – I said it before and I got some – I got a little bit of blowback. But as a – like if – I used to be someone who would answer a phone at the restaurant, take down order hand it off to whoever and then they'd come and pick it up i never expected anything from that if anything i was like why the fuck am i the person answering the phone dealing with this like i should be taking care of the people that are physically in the restaurant that is my job my job is not to do takeout food no one is serving you no one's no one's filling your drink for you and and all that it's like you're doing

all the the legwork i mean tip them a few bucks if you want like that's fine like if you appreciate what you know what they're making yeah don't stiff them but we don't need to do 10 on a like a you know a 50 pickup and that well that's not very much money i guess five bucks isn't a whole yeah five bucks is but definitely don't do more than like i just i don't know the the takeout or when picking up takeout that is the one place where it's the most great for me where i'm not really sure what to do because i feel like i'm making your life way easier and it's honestly more work for the chef than anybody else in the restaurant they're having to make extra meals for people that aren't in the restaurant i don't know and i also think that maybe i should just go maybe instead of calling in take out maybe it's just

doing it on the tap maybe i just go in have a beer and uh just give them money on top of that that's this is one that i don't like yeah i there's something weird about it that i haven't really figured out yet this is probably the one where most people like the biggest you know difference in and how people perceive it or like i think a bar i think the next one is at a bar conventional wisdom stands tip at least one dollar per drink if you're just getting a beer and 20 for a cocktail this is one i agree with if i'm at a bar and i order a cocktail at a bar that's not a craft cocktail if i'm at like a normal bar a nice bar, not a nice sit down cocktail lounge, whatever, I'm sorry,

I'm still probably just doing $1 for my tequila soda that you just gassed into my thing. Cocktails have gone crazy. Yeah. Now that cocktails in Austin are like anywhere between $15 and $18. Yeah.

Tipping 20% based on the work that goes into it. I'm willing to do that and not really worry about it. Yeah. Especially because if their work directly affects the flavor of my drink they deserve they deserve to do a good if they do a good job they deserve to reap the benefits of that yeah but if yeah if you're if you get you know a bottle of beer they twist a cap off hand to you that's a buck every time buck per beer in my opinion.

This says, if you're at a food counter, a cheese shop, a deli counter, a fast casual lunch spot where employees are telling you about the item, slicing or mixing your grain bowl, you must tip something if prompted, ideally 10%. At Brooklyn Larder, for instance, the tip pool is divided among the employees who are paid hourly, which means that instead of making a minimum wage, $16 an hour, they now take home around $21 an hour. I don't have enough experience at places like this to actually say what this would be for me. If you go to Chipotle,

does this count? Because they're making your food bowl. Yeah, that's an example. Our local Chipotle doesn't even have a place to tip other than a tip jar out when i pay for my meal there's no place for me to actually do that which is why there's not a tip line on the receipt i don't sign a receipt it's all contactless there oh so i don't really i have no take here it sounds to me like if somebody's actually making your food like ideally 10 seems lower than all these other. You're telling me the person making my food in front of me deserves the same amount as the person who hands me my food at takeout? That doesn't make sense to me. Yeah, I think the people who make the food probably get paid more.

Maybe. At Chipotle, that's probably not so, though. Yeah, I don't know. Because it's all gray, man. This says Uber drivers 20% at least. I think this also says that Uber takes more than 25% cut of fares. Uber drivers earn substantially less in fares and tips than taxi drivers. If I have a really good Uber driver, I'm very likely to give them a good tip.

Here's the thing about uber and lyft the way the app is set up is not doing their drivers like any favors at all i will get in a car i will get in an uber yeah they'll they'll take me to my destination i'll get out i'll close the app and then like three days later i'll need an uber again i'll pull up the app and it's like would you like to tip this person that you used three days ago i'm like i don't remember that fucking car ride yeah so like i'm probably here's a buck or something but like and that's probably not fair i honestly might be a me problem i honestly wish they would send me a like a push notification 10 minutes after my drive and say like hey do you want to leave him a tip

and i'll be like yeah that's right or like when you're a mile from your destination it there you go it's like hey if your driver's doing a good job here's the option to tip i'll be much more inclined to leave a decent tip then great call they need to fix that if you were for uber we'll take our consulting fee yeah that's got to happen they're losing money by uh the way the app is set up randy looks confused here what's your problem with this i i just don't, because then the driver get a notification that you just tipped them

and like a mile away and like, what if they didn't like your tip? It would be a weird situation. I like that. Maybe right afterwards. I like the ride afterwards. Yeah, that's fine too.

But like if I, if I, sometimes it's like a month between my rides, right? Yeah. I'll pull up the app. I don't ever nearly as much as I used to.

Would you like to tip Daryl who you took to, like I was drunk when I, I don't know nearly as much as i used to you'd like to tip uh daryl uh who you took to like i was drunk when i i don't fucking remember that ride like probably not was it a good ride but if it was right after i'd be like yeah daryl was great yeah here's five bucks yeah yeah i also think an uber my tip might fluctuate a lot with an uber driver there's a lot of things that can go wrong you like tipping somebody who uh is making my food is much different than tipping somebody who has my life in their hands in their car if they do a great job i might i might hit that that 30 but not if you want a good uber tip from me it's got to be comfortable temperature don't talk to me and get me there quickly i'll

give you all the all the all the money also Also, don't run like every single yellow. It kind of scares me. It's fine when I do it. I prefer that. It's fine when I do it. But when an Uber driver does it, I'm like, oh, God, maybe we could bump the brakes here. Getting in the car with a slow driver just really irritates me.

If you're a business out there and your employees get tips, just make sure you're paying them a living wage. And they don't have to absolutely rely on the kindness of people, especially going into what might be a recession. Just try to do what you can do. The last thing I'll add to this, if it's someone that you see regularly, your local bartender that you know really well, your hairstylist, get that tip up. This said, and I think I missed this one, that for the person cutting your hair, you need to do at least 20%. At least.

And when it's the end of the year around the holidays, you got to toss them a absolute bone. That's what I do with T. Yep. I'm scared that you give her more than I give you, or than I give her. How much do you do? I don't remember how much I did from my end of the year.

Oh, for the end of the year? Yeah, yeah. i've i've since upped my tip game with our uh hair hair person because uh i knew dylan did i thought i was already doing a good job then i heard what dylan was doing i was like all right well i guess my hair cost uh or just went up a little bit oh my hair looks so dope all the time i mean i i also think there's another reason your hair might look so dope all the time dylan it's called neutrophil oh that's true wow you just you just lobbed that up for me i know we had another segment we were going to do before that but like you can't just lob that up to me and not let me knock i accidentally threw

you up a perfect alley you yep when i got neutrophil in the mail for the first time my wife was so impressed not only because it was a product she had heard a lot about but just she was happy that i was being proactive about the potential of, you know, me possibly just not having all the hair I've always had in my life. Yeah. You know, I have a decent head of hair, but that means that it means more to me than some other people. I want to hold on to this while I still have it.

Yeah, the circumstances around this are actually pretty sad. Well, yeah, we have a new family member. Yeah, the circumstances around this are actually pretty sad. But yeah, we have a new dog in the house. And like an actual dog, not like I got that dog in me, but an actual dog. So Brittany's my wife, for those who don't know. Her stepdad is sick. And I don't want to get into the the details of his sickness but it's it's bad it's bad to the point to where he is no longer unable to take care of his dog and the dog is now our dog because we are you know we're she's very close with

their stepdad and we obviously we were dog people and so our home is the best place for this dog this dog is an australian kelpie i thought it was a mutt which i don't know if that's offensive or not but yeah i thought it was a mutt it turns out it's an australian kelpie which is a breed i was unfamiliar with oh i have i've one i've never heard of this dog yeah and two i've never really seen this i mean dylan, if I saw this dog on the street, I would think it was a mutt. I'd be like, this is a mix between. It's got mutt vibes.

Yeah, it's got mutt vibes for sure. Cute dogs though. It's a cute dog. The thing about this dog is that he's geriatric. He is at least 15 years old. It's old for a dog. So when this dog was born, I was just turning 21. This dog was born in 2007.

Okay. This dog is almost old enough to date Leo. This dog turned 16 this year. They don't know the actual birth date. That's why I said at least 15. We'll be turning 16 this year. I think we should give it a birthday. Okay. Why don't know the actual birth date. That's why I said at least 15. We'll be turning 16 this year. I think we should give it a birthday. Okay.

Why don't we give it a birthday? No offense to this dog, but this dog's years are limited. I think we should give it a birthday so we can have a party for it. I'm guessing he's about 35 pounds. He's kind of frail. We got a name on this thing? This is funny. It's named Dylan?

No. I used to write under a pseudonym at Grand X. Yes. Roger Dorn. Uh-huh. There was like a parody account. Remember that? Remember the parody account?

Ruger Dern? This dog's name is Ruger. Oh, hell yes. Yeah. Hell yes. This dog's name is Ruger, which I think is a pretty cool name for a dog. Like I said, this dog is geriatric um he's very old he's completely deaf what have you asked ruger what uh what the keys are to living such a long life as a dog i did but since he's completely

deaf he didn't understand what i was saying because he can't lip read either this dog like i'm not trying to be insensitive here because it's an old dog and and look this dog deserves you know its final chapter to be in a warm comfortable safe household and that's what we're going to give him all right that's our plan we're going to take care of this dog until he passes is there a buck coming he's so gross this dog is just so gross he makes weird sounds like he's constantly licking his paw and like the sound that his mouth makes is just really gross he he farts like britney texted me yesterday we were recording actually she said ruger just farted and it's lethal um he pees every he's the dave of dogs He pees every five minutes.

And like, if you take him outside, he knows how to do his business. He knows like he pees in grass. But if he's inside and needs to go, he's just going to fucking go. He's like, I'm old. I don't care. I don't want to make it to the door.

That's what old people do. And I'm just going to go right here. That's what they do. This morning, I'm getting the kids ready for school. I do a bagel on the toaster for Parks. He's eating. He goes, oh, my gosh, Ruger just pooped. I turn around.

Two big old turds on the floor right behind me. This dog is just a lot. We were playing cards yesterday. I was playing cards with the kids. I like to play Uno. We were playing Uno. Had the cards laid out on the coffee table. He comes up and just grabs the cards with his mouth and just starts to run off with them.

This dog, look, a sweet dog. He's making our lives very difficult. He peed on the rug we got for Christmas. Brand new rug that's in our kitchen. He peed all over it. Our kitchen smells like dog pee. He smells himself. Dylan, I don't offer this to many people. I don't do it. I've only offered it to one

other couple in my entire life, Micah and Caitlin, or Boo Boo. Boo Boo. Boo Boo. We have a carpet cleaner that does the job when it comes to dog accidents. Rosie was having some incontinence issues a few years ago. We knew we had to buy this. She has since solved those issues. And this thing is phenomenal. The water that comes out of it after you've cleaned everything is one of the more disgusting looking things you've ever seen in your life.

This dog, like he poops like 20 times a day, but they're like little turds. He just like, oh, I'm in the yard. I might as well just poop. Yeah, somebody got to get a little turd off. He'll poop oh and when he poops every time he does he gets these outrageous boners you know how you know male dogs like they'll get the the red rocket when they poop sometimes no no it happens um this dog every time he poops it's like and it's massive and it's gross the dog is just gross.

I can't wait to meet this dog. We love the dog. How is it with other dogs? If I bring Rosie over, can she play pretty seamlessly? Fine. Like Stella's there. And Stella was like, oh, I got a new dog in the house. I want to play with this dog.

She quickly learned that he's kind of unable to play because he's so old and doesn't get around very well. But Ruger's just like, oh, fuck you, dog. I don't care. I'm just going to do my thing. He farts, and he licks himself, and he climbs on our couch, and he pisses everywhere, and he's a pain in our ass. But we're still committed to giving him, like I said, a warm final chapter. I don't know how much longer this dog has left,

but he's in a good place. Dude, we're going to give this dog the best but um he's in a he's gonna do we're gonna give this dog we're gonna give this dog the best end of life it's ever seen he's so frail don't bring this dog in the in the office oh i won't yeah we can't have we can't have doo-doo and pp he's frail like he can't climb the stairs he's deaf he i think his eyesight might also be going a bit so when i was younger we had a we had a a couple that was friends with my parents and they were moving and they couldn't take their dog and so we had we had a yorkshire terrier and this dog was also a yorkshire terrier so we're like yeah let's take this dog and what we later found out was that this dog definitely had something wrong this brain was definitely not all there like you

just said couldn't climb the stairs pissed on this on the on the ground every single day. Pooped everywhere. We had no idea what was going on. And finally, my parents were like, right before school one day, my parents go, Will, we're going to give the dog away today. Yeah. And I was like, you know what? I'm really sad about this and I am going to cry. But I also get it because I'm very tired of sneakily picking up shit so that my dad doesn't

see that it's shit somewhere. We have a lot going on. I have like we have a lot going on i mean our we have a lot going on in our house we got you know blended kids blended family we have two kids like i said like her stepdad is like he's going through a lot he's he's very sick so we got we have a lot of stressors in our life right now we didn't need this like we did it we'll do it at least we didn't need this emotional weight of like seeing a dog at the end of its life. I don't know if there are doggy retirement centers, like a ranch somewhere they can just go frolic

until it's their time. But if there were someone, we would probably consider it. Something tells me that those ranches don't let them frolic for very often. Something tells me there's a barn, and behind that barn, there's been a lot of bullets. This dog, like, that barn, there's been a lot of bullets. This dog, it deserves a nice home in which to live out its remaining days.

But I'll tell you what, it's taken a lot out of us so far. We're not getting another dog for a while. I've gone on record saying that I would rather have a second child at this point than a puppy. I think a second child is somehow easier. I think it's more exhausting, but I think it's easier from a management standpoint. And I recently posted a question to Sally of, do you think we'll be a family that gets a new dog before Rosie passes,

or do you think we're just going to be an immediate replacement family? Because I'm not doing a big lapse. If I do a big lapse, I think I'm just going to be upset about Rosie for like 10 years, not do it. I think we're going to have to be a family that gets dog before rosie goes yeah we were talking about getting um another dog we were close to doing it this year you got one but like to like stella gets like you know

separation anxiety for her to have just a buddy to play with and sleep with and all that so she finally gets this dog in the house and she's like the fuck is this like i can't do anything with this thing yeah she's like what i wanted a friend in here but this isn't what i want like we're close to getting diapers for this dog like it's it's a situation it's like randy's like yeah i would love to have like a video intern and then we give him like a 65 year old man who's like has to learn how to use his knows nothing about like technology he brings in his old oldHS equipment, and Randy's like, are you fucking kidding me? This is not what I wanted. Yeah. So shout out Ruger,

a sweet dog. Oh, he barks too. I forgot to mention that. A sweet dog, but man, he's a lot of trouble right now. That's okay. We'll get Ruger settled. We'll get him straightened out. Oh, man. Can we talk about some horny Japanese monkeys before we get into this weekend and fun?

Yeah, of course. So a Japanese zoo, they've got some gibbons. Are you familiar with gibbons? I can't picture what they look like, but yes, I've heard of them. I think they're just tiny little guys. Okay, yeah. Yeah, they're just like the little... For sure. The big eyes.

The one with the big eyes. Gibbon. They got big eyes? They got big eyes, yeah. I don't know. I'll go with you. Big monkey eyes. Well, a gibbon they got big eyes you got big eyes yeah i don't know i'll go with you big monkey eyes well a gibbon named momo he gave she gave birth in february 2021 which uh surprised all the zoo keepers at the kuju kushima zoo right botanical garden in mori kiara in sasebo city in uh the

nagasaki Prefecture. Well, yeah, I've been there. I actually did a much better job with that than I thought I would do. But they were confused because she was living in her own enclosure with no other male monkeys around. Okay. What's going on in this enclosure? How does that happen?

I think we need to take a look at this enclosure and try to figure out what's going on. Is this a Dallas a dallas zoo situation i don't know that i i hesitate to compare any zoo to the dallas zoo because i think the dallas zoo's got a lot of questions they need to get their shit together they have way too many things going on it's in the new york i opened the new york times the other day when when randy and i were taping some spawn con and one of the biggest stories in there is about the dallas zoo just not having their shit together. Not good. No.

But anyway, this says she's very protective of her young. And so they've been trying to figure out what's going on. And so they've been gathering samples of the mother and child's stool for a DNA analysis. What they found out was that another gibbon named Eetu, who is 34 years old. I don't know how old gibbons are, but like... They get that old? That's an old ass gibbon named etu uh who was 34 years old i don't know how old gibbons are but like they get that old that's an old ass gibbon damn well it's been identified as the father and so these zookeepers are like dude how where is etu where's etu kept uh in in a uh enclosure very close to Momo's. Shout out Momo. Okay.

Do the walls touch? Like the cages? Did they share a cage wall? Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. So she backed her thing up to it. So what has since been discovered is that she might have backed her thing

up to that enclosure. So they found a perforated board with holes and these holes in the board are around nine millimeters oh you know how big a millimeter is that's not a good look for e2 we are absolutely exposing e2's crank right now and i feel bad doing it so that's about 0.35 inches so a third of an inch this is a glory hole yeah he essentially hit the glory hole well as it turns out um this is where e2 is this other one was kept where e2 was kept when not on display and so they have managed to fit e2's junk through this third of an inch hole in order to impregnate momo if i'm e2 i'm like nah that ain't me i couldn't fit through that thing dude that's how you know it's not me yeah if i'm

e2 i'm i'm in front of all the zookeepers and i'm like please do not tell them what just happened please do not tell them i can fit through here oh my god i respect that these two are doing whatever they can in order to like you know get theirsate, have a kid, make things happen. Hey, when you're horny, you'll find a way. This is some high school shit. Like, fuck. That's straight up a glory hole. What's hornier?

This guy fitting his thing through a nine millimeter hole or me having my mom buy surfer mag when i was little because reef ads had little tiny pictures of reef girls wearing thongs in them that's why you wanted it that's why i had my mom buy me surfer mag when i was uh about like 10 years old that's pretty horny there are probably other ways to get pictures of hot women i mean it was either do that or go to maxim online and i don't think our gateway computer could handle that. Oh, yeah. Not ideal. Okay. I would always wait for the Victoria's Secret catalog to come through, the mail. Yeah.

My mom got it. This was mostly on vacation when I saw the surfer mag in like a Hudson News. It just kept disappearing. I had to get it. When I was horny on the road, that's when I was getting my surfer mags on. Victoria's Secret was so hot.

Yeah. Those magazines were lit yeah yeah i mean dude at that age it didn't matter if it was victoria's secret it could have been people it could have been anything just need to see a little flesh yeah i don't care it's like yeah show me show me one of the cast of friends and i'll be fine yeah so yeah i want to give a shout out to these two for managing to uh be horny in a hopeless place e2 is down bad though this has been made very public like everyone knows you know what i mean everyone so now this says a sturdy steel plate has now taken place of the board so uh e2 is no longer doing it but it said in order for e2 momo

and their child to live together as a family officials claimed that they are now preparing to try and introduce them officially. How beautiful is that? How beautiful is that? The first time linking without a board between them. That's beautiful. It's a beautiful thing. It's like Love is Blind.

You know what I mean? Did you watch Love is Blind? I watched one season of it. It was really bad, but also good because it was bad. I watched enough that I'm glad that i watched what i watched but i don't think i have a a much of a need to go further into there was one guy on the season i watched it was the most cringy guy in like reality television history that it turned me off the show because this one guy was so insufferable i cannot stand him i think as far as trashy television shows go,

trashy reality television shows go, I think my second place right now to... Too hot to handle? Yeah, to Love Island is too hot to handle. It's good. I really enjoy too hot to handle. I really enjoy too that they clearly lube everybody up with body oil before they do their interviews and stuff.

When they're, when they're looking for cast scouting, their only goal is like, let's just find the hottest people we can. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they're all from,

what kind of blows my mind is they're all from different countries. Like they're all from all over the place. They're, they're worldwide. Yeah. I like that though. Yeah. I think it's time.

Let's do it. This weekend in fun, presented by our friends over at Roback. You can use code BACKER20 for anything, anything on the site. We love Roback. You should love it, too. I have been wearing their new shorts so often. Yeah. So often.

There's something about the shorts' thickness. It's like the thickness of a really nice jogger. Yeah. And often. There's something about the shorts thickness. It's like the thickness of like a really nice jogger. Yeah. And I like that for some reason. I don't really know why. I've been going real hard on their joggers lately.

Last time I checked, they were sold out. So I don't know if they want me talking about them. But their joggers are great. They have like the thick ankle. Dylan, I got good news for you. They restocked? They just restocked them.

They have the thick elastic ankle that i really like in a jogger the other day the other day i had a tea time fall through but i did what i do before every tea time and that is i plan my outfit out and i fold everything and i put it on a chair in our living room so that when i wake up in the morning i can just get dressed right away and do it. And when Sally looked down the other day and saw what I had there, she was like, are you just wearing literally all rowback on the course today?

Yeah. Yes, I am. Rowback joggers, rowback golf shirt, performance polo, rowback QZ with the wash branding on the shoulder. Damn, player. You know I'm out here.

You know I'm out here. Backer 20. Gets you 20% off at checkout. Backer 20. It's a one-time use code, so load the cart. Dylan, what are you getting into this weekend? I'll keep mine brief. Obviously, I had a big weekend last weekend with the ski trip. Not doing a whole lot, man.

Just kind of laying low. I'm open to stepping out, but I have no plans to right now. I won't have parks Friday or Saturday. And then Sunday, of course, is Super Bowl Sunday. I don't have parks friday or saturday and then sunday of course is super bowl sunday i don't have plans yet yeah i'm not doing anything i mean it's tough when uh when my super bowl sunday plans were to uh go to michael weiner's house yeah and then uh i threw out a text about a week ago he canceled that plan i threw out a text asking if you guys wanted to do something here at the office i think it'd be a fun little yeah but no one said i don't want to hang out here like after that well here's the

thing here's the thing the way that this super bowl is planned is not great for me five o'clock is not ideal yeah because you got the first half and then it's bedtime for the little dude i'm not missing bad gal reread for literally anything everyone knows i ride for Rihanna. Yeah. Halftime? Halftime. Who's doing the National Anthem? I don't know. Do you know, Randy? Is he a country singer? A Stapleton or something like that?

Chris Stapleton? We got Stapes? I'm not sure. Don't quote me on that. I think he's a country singer. Now I have to know. National Anthem, Super Bowl XXIII. Chris Stapleton.

Good job. Good job, Randy. I love Chris Stapleton. Do you think he's going to go over or under? Under. I think if anyone's going to go under, it's definitely a country singer, as opposed to a... But I think the line will reflect that. They know that he's not going to go crazy and just hold a note for 20 seconds. Yeah. If you were singing the national anthem, would you go in with a plan? Oh, gosh. I don't know.

I'd be just so terrified. I'd check my... I'd hold the final note and check my watch and look at the screen, wink, and then keep holding it. Yeah, I have no plans this weekend. No, I don't want to say no plans. I'm going to be watching Love Island all weekend,

like obviously. Oh, yeah. I got a lot of that to knock out. After last weekend, not having internet all weekend, I'm actually very, very, very excited to just watch soccer on my couch every morning, all weekend. It's going to be great. But other than that,

I don't really have much going on. I would love to get out and swing the sticks. I might go hit the driving range a little bit, work on my game, see what happens. But overall, nothing crazy. I am looking for some uh some recipes for super bowl because i think i'm just gonna watch it in my crib i would like to get some some some super bowl-esque food off i gotta make a plan for the super bowl man have you purchased any of your hummus and your uh crudite platter i'm hoping whoever's party i crash already has that

prepared yeah that do be facts randy what are you doing for the super bowl Thomas and your crudite platter. I'm hoping whoever's party I crash already has that prepared. Yeah, that do be facts. Randy, what are you doing for the Super Bowl? No clue. Absolutely not. Randy's got plans. He doesn't want to know that. He's like afraid that like we're somehow going to show up there.

We're not going to show up at your Super Bowl party, Randy. It's okay. Oh, okay. Then I'm hosting this big party that everyone's going to. Randy, what's your top Super Bowl snack? It's got to be buffalo chicken dip. I mean, it's a staple when it comes to food. I think mine is just buffalo chicken wings.

I think wings are my top Super Bowl snack. Did we do a draft on this previously? Wouldn't surprise me. If not, we probably should, although it's too late. Yeah, that's something we should have done about 35 minutes ago yeah maybe i think that's maybe where the first i think it might have been the first draft we ever did and hummus came up i thought you said the hummus and bell pepper thing i thought you did that on touching base it's been a while i think that was a touching base it's been a long while i don't remember there's a decent chance that uh i have

missed kelly's irish pub uh we they've gotten more free publicity on this podcast than any other restaurant not named matt's hall rancho i have missed out on beers at kelly's irish pub for what feels like four weeks in a row i think it has to happen i'm down there was part of me that when washington instagram which go follow the washington instagram at wash media, when it hit 20 K part of me was like, should we just go to Kelly's Irish pub and just have like 20,000 beers right now? I'm down. Like I told you my Friday and Saturday are both open.

Yeah. We'll see. We'll see. And that's it. I guess. That's it. Who you got in the Superbowl? I'm going to ride with Kansas city.

I don't know why I'm doing this. I have no clue. I have no attachment. You're going to say Philadelphia. I'm rolling with Philly on this one. I'm rolling with Philly. I kind of like that Philly's just been... I mean, all this stuff on Twitter about trashy Philly fans,

it gets my blood going. I love it. It's a good team, man. It gets me excited. They're pretty good. It's way more fun to see the aftermath of a philadelphia super bowl than it would be to see the aftermath of a kansas city super bowl like the stories and the videos that come from philadelphia winning are just gonna

be great but my official prediction for the super bowl light city buses on fire and throw couches out of like exactly 10 story windows exactly and i want dan to be happy sure yeah yeah like and overall my prediction for the super bowl is that uh my tv will be on something else before the game ends i don't see myself finishing this super bowl okay as far as teams go this is the least invested i've been in a super bowl in a while like i straight up don't care this year don't care yeah it's been fun that's been fun uh tomorrow we'll be doing uh love island boys bright and early i'm not sure what time it'll be up uh but we'll probably start recording if i had to guess i'd say we'll start recording right before lunchtime so it'll be hitting your airways i have a lot to catch up on you do you got a lot to watch i'm jealous of you

honestly okay we've had some good stuff this season, Dylan. We've had some very good stuff happening. And I think we're at a breaking point in the season where things are going to be going from cordial to crazy. Can't wait. All right. We'll see you guys tomorrow. If you're not opto, go do that.

But if not, no worries. We'll see you on Monday. Bye.
