Starting point is 00:00:00 All right, we're back. Circling Back Podcast presented by Vizzy Hard Seltzer, the only hard seltzer with vitamin C and superfruit acerola. My name is Will DeFries. to my right, David Ruff. Good morning, Will. Very happy to be here to podcast with you. It's Wednesday morning, as you noted, and we didn't get a drop of rain at my house. Really? Totally threw off my watering skedge, yeah. it's lush as hell down at my crib right now we just got we just got foliage everywhere oh which is good for the all the allergy boys out there i thought you were referring to your alcohol problem no what how you just think i'm a lush i am kind of a lush lush is a good term yeah needs to come back yeah would you rather be a lush or
Starting point is 00:01:03 like called a lush a drunk drunk, or an alcoholic? Oh, a lush for sure. A lush is a harmless way of accusing someone of having an alcohol problem. Yeah, lush is probably a little too playful. So if you have someone you know has a serious issue, like you shouldn't be like, oh, what a lush. That's like what your mom would say. My mom would be like, oh, David, you smell like a – you're a lush. It's a bad impression of my mom
Starting point is 00:01:26 if you've ever met her but um yeah don't that's just maybe we can bring uh maybe we can keep lush out of the vocabulary i think it's better than just accusing someone of having like a straight up alcohol problem it's kind of the starter it's the starter version of just being like hey maybe slow it down a little bit i can remember my mom waking me up in my childhood bedroom room like senior year or something i slept in like on a saturday i used to sleep in a lot more back then probably because i didn't have children yeah and uh she would open the door and she'd be like oh my god it smells like a bar in here we we went on spring break my senior year of high school we went to a resort and all all
Starting point is 00:02:06 what's it called all you can eat like cc's whatever it is all inclusive resort in mexico with all of our our buddies and in the room at the resort they had liquor taps they were on the wall and you just put your glass up and you you could just get yourself a glass of liquor whenever you wanted. And so for a bunch of 17 and 18 year olds, like this was reckless, reckless to have in the rooms. Like a fountain, like drink. No, it was almost, you know, they were, they were, they were bottles, but you would just put your glass underneath it and then it would fill it from the bottle. And so every day when the, the, the people would come in to clean your room, they would replace the bottles that were getting low. And before we went on vacation, some of the parents requested that some of the liquor
Starting point is 00:02:51 taps get taken out of the room. Well, they didn't do that because it's a resort in Mexico and they don't care. And one morning we got woken up around 11 a.m. by our friend's mom and she was just like, get up. It smells like a bar in here. Like, yeah, it literally is a bar in here. Like, I mean, there's beers in the fridge, and then there's liquor literally bolted to the wall. Is it high quality? No, it was like... Something tells me you were drinking some McCormick's vodka.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Probably, and then definitely Cuervo. And some Heaven Hill. I think it was El Toro tequila, the one with the little red hat as the cap. Do you remember this? No. I've never understood the worm toro tequila the one with the little red hat as the cap do you remember this no i've never understood the the worm and the tequila yeah i feel like that's something from like the the cartoon days and i know that there's it's rooted in some truth why myself i've never had the worm says larva began appearing in mezcal bottles in the 1950s when a maker discovered
Starting point is 00:03:47 a moth larva in a batch of his liquor and thought the stowaway improved its taste you should have just turned the lights off yeah this is inspiring i didn't know that we can get moth content going on with this moth tent we're gonna bring that We could. Randy, put the word out. Put the word out to your meme team. Tell them we're back up on Moth. Should we have Moth Week in September? Should we do a four-year anniversary celebration of Moth Fest? Yeah, we could have Ross on.
Starting point is 00:04:20 That was one of the more ridiculous appearances we made anywhere. It felt good that we got the RBP invite just to strictly talk moth memes. He chose the right people for it. Yeah, unfortunately, we were about five weeks late and it made him about seven weeks late. I think we were on top of it. It had quite the duration. It was a multi-month event.
Starting point is 00:04:44 It was like truck month it was moth month we had zz coming out as well people are mad that we're calling it a mediocre song it's not that good of a song it's fine i'm not gonna turn it off i might turn it when there's 30 seconds left though it's uh it's great if it's in the background of your tiktok or vine yeah it's like a quick quick hit and you just get that beat. I've never heard people listening to it just casually, which tells me that it's just not that popular of a song. I'm just not well-versed in Kodak.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Yeah. He's got some takes. So Dylan's still out. Yeah, he's feeling better. We kind of said said hey man you're not gonna you're gonna you think you're better you probably are able to get out and get around you're not you haven't had a fever in a couple days but do you really want to be in here trying to do content with a runny nose a cough and like you know body feeling bad like you don't when it's moving week
Starting point is 00:05:44 at wash media we need everyone at a healthy level i'm already i'm already getting absolutely killed by allergies and i don't need to start questioning whether or not i'm sick to go with it so i'm making him quarantine until tomorrow it sounded like you said quarantine it's weird he might as a quarantine there's a situation where dylan has taken his last steps in the office in the lodge that would be funny if we turn in the keys and stuff so he couldn't come say goodbye. That'd be mean.
Starting point is 00:06:09 I'm sorry. That's unnecessary. Are we going to do a Will Smith photo when the lodge is empty? Yeah. Are people still doing Will Smith content? Did I see he's going to rehab? What?
Starting point is 00:06:22 Maybe I'm wrong. He's banned from the Oscars for 10 years. Oh, no. Odds that Jada goes without him. Probably pretty good. It sounds like she does a lot of stuff without him. What, sexual? Trists?
Starting point is 00:06:37 All reports lead to Jada just not really liking Will Smith that much. She didn't want to get married to him. Yeah. I mean, I feel bad. Sounds like they just might need liking Will Smith that much. She didn't want to get married to him. Yeah. Like, I mean, I feel bad. Like, it sounds like they just might need to go their separate way. It's a weird life cycle these things have because it's like, it starts out, Will Smith's the bad guy. And then now it's kind of like, oh, now I feel bad for Will Smith. So where's this going to end up?
Starting point is 00:07:02 Because it's like, damn, he's been going through it for a long time i just googled whether uh scientologists believe in divorce or not and it says that for scientologists divorce is no simple matter there's no ceremony recognizing divorce in the church of scientology yeah the thing that was going around yes or a couple days ago maybe last week the letter that willow smith wrote to um deceased tupac it's just very dave i miss this you know jada and tupac had a thing yeah didn't they go to prom together or something that i don't know like that's very specific dude i think they went to prom together specific i feel like it's rooted in truth but yeah it's just really really just an odd odd thing it's like my mom won't be you know just saying how much happier mom would be if he
Starting point is 00:07:52 was still in her life and it's like yo no you have a dad also you never met tupac yeah and also like your dad has done a very really good job providing for you and setting your setting your life up to uh to to be a pretty charmed one semi-charmed dude don't bring up what's his face on this podcast right now steven jenkins yes it's the anniversary of the of their album today no that's coming up i know there's been some think pieces i'm sure they're really good i've been thinking about some pieces lately the thing is will smith doesn't even have to cuss in his raps to sell records and now wild did you see the twitter thread about about i mean i'm sure i saw it because of the eve six guy shout out max yes about the t-shirts from the mtv festival
Starting point is 00:08:37 yes i i meant to text you that because i but i'm glad you're on it because i i did enjoy that it was uh from some one-off 1999 show they did for mtv it was eve six on the bill and third eye blind probably some other bands i think it was a full-on tour and the t-shirts say as the tour dates it has eve. And then the headliner was Third Eye Blind. But instead of saying Third Eye Blind, what does it say? It says band did not authorize use of name. Yes. So it says band did not authorize use of name and Eve 6. And the reasoning was because, and this is what, okay,
Starting point is 00:09:23 a guy on TikTok actually posted this. He was a roadie or on the crew, the sound crew of that tour. He still has a shirt, which I love. He posted it and said, oh yeah, funny thing. The reason it says this is because Stephen Jenkins of Third Eye Blind said, if we want to wear a t-shirt with their name on it, they can go buy one from our merch tent. on it they can go they can go buy one from our our merch tent like what does he think that you were just getting a bunch of clout for working like security at their shows like that's not you're just doing your job it's it's insane and whoever printed that to put ban did not
Starting point is 00:10:01 authorize use of name it's the perfect print job is name. It's the perfect print job. It's hilarious. Yes. It's the perfect print job. Like it just shows how much of a dickhead that Jonathan. What's his name? Steven Jenkins. Steven Jenkins. I always want to call him Jonathan for some reason.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Like don't get me wrong. Semi-charmed life, graduate, jumper. Like all those songs go hard. But knowing what we know now about him, it just is like, okay, this guy's clearly a jerk. No, I just wish he'd step back from that ledge. My friend. Stop.
Starting point is 00:10:31 If you look up the third, if you look up third eye blind on like Wikipedia, you can go through all their like previous band members. And it's just a shocking amount of people that they've churned through this band. Uh, Steven Jenkins is the only one who's been there the entire time. And then there's one, two, three, four, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 other people who have been a part of Third Eye Blind in their tenure He puts off Mark Cuban vibes
Starting point is 00:10:55 Why? I don't really know Just trust me Jenkins began his musical career in 1992 as part of the short-lived rap duo puck and natty alongside detroit rapper herman anthony chun you big uh fan of him herman anthony chun oh yeah he's a legend he's a legend back home okay no clue who he is oh he wasn't in d12 no he could have been there's 12 dudes i can only name m&m and then like what's the dude that died in d12 rest in peace not ob tries one no real name no gimmicks

It's the Ultimatum Also, Better Call Saul was trending last night right behind Ultimatum
Starting point is 00:14:30 So people are getting geared up for the new season I think I just need to start watching Better Call Saul You'll definitely enjoy it Is a 45-year-old Jesse Pinkman going to play a teenager? Now that they're bringing him back? Yeah, but he looks the exact same How does he look the exact same? Dude, he's just always kind of look like shit in that show yeah yeah i guess if you're like kind of a drug a druggie in the show it's probably easy to take a 45 year old and just make them
Starting point is 00:14:56 look like that again yeah because he looked 35 in the show so it's not going to be like the irishman with de niro no i don't think i think they should make that illegal by the way making actors younger yeah the face younger face software i don't know what's it called deep fake well deep fake should be illegal yeah randy you go to a lot of deep fake sites what was that family guy one you sent me don't send me that shit it was like it was a crossover his family guy and uh looney tunes it was weird dude stop randy gross dude you're gonna get in trouble no deepfake should be illegal they're still doing the deepfake uh tom cruise tiktok account keep deepfakes out of baseball I've said that for a long time.
Starting point is 00:15:45 God. Deep fakes are scary, dude. What if someone just sent you a video of you on Pornhub, and it's not even you. It's just some random person. Like me actually surfing Pornhub? I mean, it could be. I'd be like, all right, who told you? How'd you access my camera? It's scary.
Starting point is 00:16:03 They can make anyone do anything. Anyway, the ultimatum first caught my eye because it takes place in Austin, Texas, which I kind of love. I don't know why they chose a random Marriott in downtown Austin, Texas. Are we giving tax breaks to these companies? That is a thing. I mean, there's reason like you hear about about like Hollywoodllywood doesn't shoot in new mexico anymore because they're lost the tax break or i don't know if it's new mexico but there's places where they go that are like more beneficial to them between this and 20 somethings austin i'm like i feel like we're given i think austin's just a cool town that they want to hop in on that
Starting point is 00:16:39 everybody's everybody loves austin people want austin content even though they don't they don't leave the hotel they don't leave the hotel that's i guess you would know i i've only watched one episode but they uh they don't make it like we're in austin texas no and yeehaw they end up going to uh from the marriott to the aloft hotels so they can they can be married to so okay the premise of this show is fucking ridiculous the premise of this show is fucking ridiculous. The premise of the show is that these couples are going to be on the show. Six couples. When they've been dating for about two years each, I'd say.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Two, two and a half years. All these people are pretty young, except there's like one guy who's 30 and then everyone else is like 26 or younger. And one person in the couple wants to get married. The other person wants to wait. These people are in love with each other. So they claim, but what they do in the show is that they take these couples and they put them to a test. They essentially let them date each other, choose another person from the crop of people to go live with for three weeks as if
Starting point is 00:17:40 they're married. And then after that three weeks is up, they get back together with their old person to see if they're compatible for marriage and if they want to see it through. There are so many issues with this show that I don't really know where to begin. Well, let me say, when you said that you were in on this, and I think you texted Dylan and I last night, you're like, by the way, just a heads up, I'm watching the show and I'm going to talk about it tomorrow. As I've already plowed through 75, 80% of the Marvel universe, I was like, okay, I'm looking for something new. The playing game that I was watching wasn't particularly close. And I was like, I'll check it out.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Did not know it was a Nick Lachey joint. So Nick Lachey does something, and I don't know who pointed this out to me. If it was a video that I saw online and i'm just hijacking this i apologize but in too hot to hear no in whatever other nick lachey show he hosts on netflix he introduces his wife vanessa manila or vanessa lachey and he says like this is this is vanessa lachey and obviously i'm nick lachey he throws the obviously before he introduces himself. Is it obvious that you're Nick Lachey? It's pretty, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:48 To us it is because we saw 98 Degrees. He was an SAE at Miami, Ohio. They called the weight room in his frat house the Nick Lachey Memorial Weight Room. That's really cool. People don't talk about that enough.
Starting point is 00:18:59 It's a cool tribute. I don't think it was an actual, I don't think they actually did like the the process of getting that dubbed the nicolash memorial weight room i think it was more of a bit but it's a bit that i enjoyed it's a good bit and he's a guy i have fond memories of not particularly because of his music career but his his short-lived reality career uh with jessica simpson what was that show i don't remember
Starting point is 00:19:25 what it was called i i barely watched that just because i didn't care about them enough i think i had a crush on jessica simpson and i think i might have been a little annoyed that like he was a part of it newlyweds classic yeah no it was a good show i mean it was good in the sense it was like she leaned into her role and she was really good at it and he just went and played golf with her dad it was like every episode it was just him and the dad were they living like the dallas area or something i don't know she's from plano or something but it was just it would every episode i felt like it was like just nick lachey like feet up like with his you know phone in his hand and they would just go play they'd go play 18 it like a very nice club so it's love is blind that he hosts where he just goes yeah and obviously
Starting point is 00:20:09 i'm nick lachette so he's doing love is blind in this yeah so he's doing well um the the the i'm trying i'm having trouble trying to figure out how to talk about this without giving any spoilers well let me say before we even get into the meat of the show, they have a moment where they're talking to the cast and they're just kind of giving them a pep talk. And like, you know, we took a break for a while when we were dating and, you know, each saw one other person. And like Nick's face, he was hiding the biggest smirk and I'm just like dude what did you do in that time because yeah his face said it was not one person like so are you thinking that he might have gone a little little crazy and Vanessa was out there trying to be like I mean holstering a little bit exactly what I'm saying like what celebrity did Nick Lachey hook up with
Starting point is 00:21:02 I bet he went back to... Cincinnati? Cincinnati. He went down to Cincinnati. Took him three days on the train. Okay. Why are they taking a train to Cincinnati? What train takes three days?
Starting point is 00:21:14 Like where do they go? Where are they even coming from? It's a great question. One of the greatest songs of all time. Well, so they take these couples, they put them all in the hotel together, and they tell them to go mingle because they need to find someone that they're going to live with for three weeks and
Starting point is 00:21:28 so they're all in the same general area of a rooftop bar in austin texas flirting and conversing with other people in front of their significant other and then they start referring to their significant others as their exes and things like that i just can't i can't i can't understand how you could actually go through with this and think it's a good idea to get married you're a swinger now so obviously it begs it's like okay it's like any reality dating show like how much do you really how much are you really taking this relationship seriously? Cause if you really wanted this to work out, first of all, ultimatums like
Starting point is 00:22:10 that, and this is a big player in the first 20 minutes, I think most people agree. That's not a good thing to do if you're looking for a positive outcome. Yeah. Like ultimatums, I feel like rarely actually work out. I mean, they don't work out to benefit both parties a red line if you will um but there you do get you do get some couples that it's like okay they're believable like but some of them are like well the the or the the girlfriend she wants to be there because she just wants to be on reality tv and see other guys and the dude just got along. And there's a number of those couples in there. Oh, there's a number. And the dude, like not to get ahead of myself or if anyone's going to watch this show, but like some of the dudes that get dragged along, these guys are ready to move on. And they're like, oh, I'm just going to talk to this girl for a while and
Starting point is 00:22:57 maybe like just date her and fall in love with her. I think it's worth watching. Like I did not want to start, you know, I've've i've had my issues with the bachelor in recent years and i this is this felt like a much more fun watch how many episodes is it i don't know and i'm scared to find out that there's going to be like more dropped later or something like that did you uh did you enjoy one of the girls name is ray r-a-e sure uh she had a quote that is a pretty good resume builder for anybody out there like trying to look for a girl she said i keep my ass in the gym my money is right i cook i clean and i know how to fuck yeah that was uh that caught me off guard i was already kind of in shock that the show was unfolding the way it did in front of me and
Starting point is 00:23:45 then when she said that i looked over at sally in just astonishment i was like this girl is just putting it literally all out there it's a good indication that she has in fact had sex sexual intercourse and now she's just shacked up with some dude i'm only one episode in so wait do they when they're living with the other person like the new people is it in the hotel it's in aloft so it's like an extended stay oh the room's aloft across from the steven of austin correct oh and what little bar in there what carolines what bothers me about it is that like it is that like it's fucking you're in a hotel room right so you're gonna live three weeks in a hotel room with somebody like there's not that much you can do so they're just asking for these people to like cheat on each other eventually i assume also can netflix not afford something
Starting point is 00:24:38 better than like the aloft like extended stay hotel no offense to the people that use that but like it's netflix you it's one of the most profitable companies in the world i bet the aloft i mean you've seen more episodes than i have but it feels like it would they would have a very nice it's fine you see like i mean one of the dudes has to sleep on a love seat because the girl doesn't want to share a bed with somebody which i understand you're dating somebody yeah that's something they never really address in the first episode like none of the couples have the conversation of like hey make sure you don't do anything physical that doesn't
Starting point is 00:25:12 come up and i almost think that maybe the producers are like don't bring that up at all yeah they probably just edit that straight out because they know that they like are going to end up doing something physical yeah the only other the only other note i have on this through one episode is uh there are two people who feel like plants one couple who feel like they're just there to god damn it for the wrong reasons i don't know there you go there you go it's colby and in madeline oh yes because she's she just is based he looks like a total cuck for the first half of the show. And then once he gets out and starts mixing it up with the others, he's killing it. He's like one of the most coveted guys.
Starting point is 00:25:56 So I'm wondering, because he played it pretty well, because he's the one who issued the ultimatum to her. Yeah. And she's definitely in the camp of people who's like, well, I'm going to have fun on this television show instead of think about marriage here. Is it an ultimatum if, say, you're dating someone for four years, five years? Nah, four years. You're living in your hometown.
Starting point is 00:26:21 You're not living together. You're just kind of trying to get your your feet on the ground in the in the legal world and then you get an opportunity to go work with a buddy in lubbock and you're so trying to get really specific right now it's hypothetical you're trying to get that person to go to lubbock with you and you're going to live together there and while you're driving into the airport this person looks at you and says you know i'm not moving to lubbock unless with you unless like there's some talk about engagement yeah that might be an ultimatum dave so i think i'm uh yeah maybe i am hopefully i'm the exception but i did i did end up it's weird i i'm like stopping myself like i'm gonna spoil something
Starting point is 00:27:13 i did end up proposing yeah i i was gonna say you did get married at some point i'm trying to remember when i did it well i did it before we moved to lubbock well i was confused because when i pressed play on this show i was expecting to see like matt damon because you know how like fast and furious they do like the fast and the furious fast and furious the fast five everything and i was like oh this is sick i get to watch a new ultimatum movie no i see it's not ultimatum was one born movie i know and i thought this was gonna be like a prequel or something what would it what would that even look like he has an identity it's not jason born he has to like go live with multiple women to realize like who he really is yeah all the meat all the while there he ended up sleeping with all of them so he had to go in the witness protection program so he didn't get canceled. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:07 That's actually a pretty good premise. Yeah. Yeah. People didn't realize that the Born series was just stemmed from a bunch of couples who hate each other. Say what you want about Matt Damon. If there's a Born movie on, I'm not turning it on. No. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:28:24 I've never seen the one without him, though. renner yeah i i saw in theater it was not it wasn't bad i've seen conflicting reports about jeremy renner some of some of those reports uh make me concerned about supporting him as an actor yeah as someone who might hop into what hawkeye that's his avenger character oh dude you just do avenger content when i'm here like i don't know any of this he's a he's a bow and arrow guy which i gotta be honest of all you dispel a lot of reality in the avenger series in the marvel stuff obviously but the fact that there would be a trained killer and like they're like you know what you're gonna be the guy who does the bow and arrow yeah like i feel like there's more efficient ways like the first of all you're gonna go through those arrows quickly
Starting point is 00:29:15 maybe i need to just watch hawkeye is it hawkeye or like hot guy because he's a hot guy is he that hot well they offered me a part but it was for sockeye and i was like oh is, because he's a hot guy. Is he that hot? Well, they offered me a part, but it was for Sockeye. And I was like, oh, is it because I'm a sock? And they're like, no, it's just because you eat a lot of salmon. You drink a lot of Sockeye. I do. That's also fair. There's a lot of different plays on that for me.
Starting point is 00:29:36 So yeah, I have a Marvel. If someone offers you a Marvel movie, you have to take it, right? Yeah. I would like to see a list of actors who have turned down Marvel movies And now are just kicking themselves You know Terrence Howard was the original Rhodey Something I didn't know about
Starting point is 00:29:51 I don't know what Rhodey is Rhodes, Don Cheadle Became, he was War Machine He was the other Iron Man Sounds like a porn star War Machine I'm the war machine
Starting point is 00:30:06 War machine $2 you call it It's all night Down at war machine Stop On 15th Congress What does that even mean? Like you can just have whatever?
Starting point is 00:30:17 Yeah Whatever well drink Usually And they're not the best pours And that's a great way To feel like shit yeah i can honestly say i will probably never be in a situation at 37 where i will be ordering a two dollar you call it what's the age that you need to be in order to
Starting point is 00:30:38 go to a happy hour like that and not take part in the happy hour and not look like you're just some uppity dude because like i don't want i i i feel like we're at the age and we have solidified our place in life where we don't need to drink well drinks if we don't have to i don't mind some well drinks but like if i'm only gonna have one if i'm going if i'm going to meet randy and his oh all of his buddies out for a night out ne'er-do-wells and they're all dressed his buddies out for a night out Near to Wells So you got a text message or something Oh yeah by the way Randy I'm definitely in For that next week And they're like yeah let's go to happy hour And I'm like well I can come get one drink
Starting point is 00:31:15 But one drink's not going to be a well whiskey No exactly I'm going to get something decent I don't get out that much So in that hour I have out at happy hour I'm going to at least get something I'm going to enjoy because I'm not going to pound a Heaven Hill vodka soda. Well, that's why I get myself in trouble these days with martinis because I'm still operating under the assumption that I can drink like five vodka sodas and just be completely fine. And then I have three martinis and I'm like, oh, I shouldn't have done that.
Starting point is 00:31:40 That's a mistake. Vodka soda is much more drinkable. Yeah. It's just a huge mistake on my part. I got to get it together. Plus I'm not that high maintenance when it comes to vodka. I'll, I'll do Tito's all day. Yeah. Tito's are deep Eddie and I'm good. And those are not expensive. No. Tito's is intentionally like not expensive. It's perfect. Yeah. Can we talk Saudi golf league real quick? Quite a pivot. Yeah. Do I need to stick with this show? Ultimatum? Yes. Uh, so if you. Do I need to stick with this show? Ultimatum?
Starting point is 00:32:05 Yes. So if you're out there and you're questioning this show, my recommendation is last night I watched three episodes. They're an hour long. Yes. I spent three hours watching this show, David. What is wrong with you? Once I got to episode two and things started transpiring there,
Starting point is 00:32:24 I couldn't take my eyes off of it. And the way that episode three begins is one of the most uncomfortable scenes I've ever seen in reality TV show history. Can't wait. This is from episode three. So I watched episode one, knowing that this is probably going to be the worst episode because they're not, we're not getting into the, we're getting, we're getting a setup. We're meeting the people and then we're not getting into the... We're getting it set up. We're meeting the people, and then we're getting a little bit of mingling. But the real meat of the show is coming,
Starting point is 00:32:52 apparently, episode two and three. At the end of episode two and the beginning of episode three, I can't vouch for anything after that, but that is why I'm so all in on this show, because it's just wild. And I'm not a guy who... I don't watch a lot of these shows. I'm the reality TV guy. You really are. And I will not a guy who, I don't watch a lot of these shows. Will's, you know, Will's in a love island. I'm the reality TV guy. You really are.
Starting point is 00:33:06 And I will continue watching this unless I have to watch Hawkeye. There's a world where like I tried to work for the ringer doing like reality television show stuff. And like I never got hired at Grand X and we don't have circling back. We would have just replaced you. That's fine. We would have just replaced you with Phil. That's fine. I get that.
Starting point is 00:33:26 Shout out Beaumont, Texas. What if Phil was just, he was in your role? Hey, Dave. No, I can't do his voice. That wasn't bad. It's not too bad. Kind of sounded like your father-in-law. That's a Phil laugh, right?
Starting point is 00:33:40 No way. That was not a good Phil. Nobody knows who Phil is. People know who Phil is. Club cool. Club cool Phil. Phil Battaglia. Heard of the show. Good guy. no way that was not a good phil nobody knows who phil people know phil club cool cool phil phil battaglia run of the show good guy let's talk saudi golf league that's what people tuned in for didn't you say that you don't understand why there's like a fallout for the saudi golf league like you don't understand why people dislike it right that's that was kind of what you wanted to
Starting point is 00:34:00 go yeah that's basically the my thesis well the the Saudi Golf League, which has been much discussed on previous podcasts and other places, they have officially announced certain players that are going to be in this. Of those players, there's some names that you might know. All right, give me the names, and I'm going to tell you if it moves the needle for me. Okay. We'll start with Jason Kokrak. Fuck yeah. He's already been on record saying that he's solely doing this for the money so he can retire and set his family up.
Starting point is 00:34:25 Okay. Out of everyone that's doing this, he's the only person that I've seen that's been very blatant about that. And while I don't think it's excusable, I do think that it legitimizes him in my mind a little bit more. Because I'm like, you know what? At least you're being honest with us about this. He's not trying to skip around it. He's a big gambler. Is he?
Starting point is 00:34:42 Big gambler. I think he's a big Vegas guy. So he could potentially blow through this money quickly. Oh yeah. Blowing money fast. It's weird that guys that have game potentially have like giant gambling bets or entertain the Saudi golf. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Uh, another guy, Dave, he's a little older, maybe not as, uh, maybe not as sexy of a pick at this point, but Lee Westwood. Does that move the needle for you? No. Lee on Twitter has become a little unhinged. I don't know if you follow him. I have not. Is he following the Phil Mickelson social media plan?
Starting point is 00:35:20 Yeah, but he will chime in. If there's something, a joke issued about an English player or a journalist says something about him, he will respond. He clearly searches his name. Don't tell me that. It is a bad look, but I love it as someone who does content. Now I'm going to try to start getting, I want him to quote TweetMeNo and just talk shit to me. Another name, Dave, this one might move the needle for you a little bit because he's got zany style and he's fiery uh ian polter all polts i already had all the reasons in the world to hate ian polter but now the i mean this goes for every
Starting point is 00:35:57 guy that's joining the saudi league i'm glad that they're doing it just so we have like heels now that we can actually just like lean into and hate when they're in other tournaments. Well, it's tough because I kind of started to enjoy Poulter the last few years. I was like, you know what? There's no point. Yeah, he's annoying at the Ryder Cup, but that's what he's supposed to do. That's awesome that like he takes it that seriously. Oh, if we had an American that drained putts at the Ryder Cup like him, then we'd all love him.
Starting point is 00:36:22 Like who's our closest comp? Bryce? JT? cup like him then we'd all love him like who's our who's our closest comp bryce jt like i don't even know i feel like we're i'm just overlooking someone well didn't chef go undefeated last rider cup yeah but chef's chef doesn't talk shit yeah he doesn't get he doesn't get the squad psyched no he does not he not. He is a good player as he is the number one player in the world, also Masters champion. What about Kevin Na? I like Kevin Na to an extent. He's the one that surprised me the most.
Starting point is 00:36:57 I feel like Kevin Na's got a pretty good standing in the PGA Tour. He doesn't need to go Saudi. He does a lot of dorky shit but when i say i like him i like that he is a personality on the tour he's not my guy he's your guy i think i was at the was it colonial where he put i had like a 14 or something yeah something like that valero texas open was it valero san antonio was valero i i think he played colonial shortly thereafter and i was there and they're like oh yeah he this is the dude who had the yips nasty well he's the he had the video of him throwing a ball into the rough at the U.S. Open a few years back just complaining about it and taking the most
Starting point is 00:37:34 half-ass swings trying to get it out being like it's unplayable I can't do this this is insane well everybody has to hit out of it eventually yeah just don't hit it in the rough dude I would yeah that's like your whole game. The final name that they've named as one of the marquee players, Dave, is Bubba Watson. Team Jordan. Is he a Jordan guy? He's a Jordan guy now.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Bubba surprises me in a way. He's, I feel like he's actually had a pretty good stint of PR runs, right? Like lately where people don't hate as much as they used to. Cause he's not just like ridiculing Ted Scott and everything. Well, I I've said this about like everyone we've named except for Lee Westwood, but like, I'm one of those people. I loved Bubba early on. Then some, then as I started getting more into, into golf and like reading the chatter about like and noticing like oh man he's not great to ted scott is his caddy coincidentally um now
Starting point is 00:38:35 scotty shuffler's caddy then i was like i'm kind of out on him and then he switched he was a travis matthews guy he was an early travis matthews guy then he switched to oak was a Travis Matthews guy. He was an early Travis Matthews guy. Then he switched to Oakley. Yeah, he can't be the Oakley guy. And we were like, dude, he doesn't seem that cool anymore. When I think of Oakley, I'm sorry. I just think of a single cab truck with just the giant O on the back. And yes, I'm talking about somebody very specifically from my high school. I mean, he just can't be the ugly guy
Starting point is 00:39:05 yeah oakley and like i don't know but he dude like i mean he was easy to love he was cried after he won the masters it was very very genuine and he had the he had the the great flow he wore the visors he looked great in a visor still does but now are these guys allowed to play in pga events that's the question. That is the question. I don't know if that... Because I don't think these guys... Have they officially been announced, or is this just kind of...
Starting point is 00:39:31 Yes. Okay. This was official today. And so we have events on the schedule. In July 1st through the 3rd, they're going to Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in Portland. Then they're going to Trump National in New Jersey later in the month. Okay. No controversy there. They're going to Trump National in New Jersey later in the month. Okay. No controversy there.
Starting point is 00:39:45 They're going to Boston, Chicago, Bangkok. I mean, they have events on this at this point. It says the eight event series will have over $30 million up for grabs. The Centurion Club will offer a $19 million purse for the 48-man field. For just one purse? Yeah, that seems like a lot. must be a birkin don't don't show my wife you know how she spends randy why would you know that don't answer that the fuck uh so that was the that was the purse for the centurion club uh is that just worth never mind i would rather i would rather play at the centaurian club just a cent just a centaur it must be hard to like randy knows what's the lower body movement
Starting point is 00:40:33 of a centaur in their swing randy could probably help you with that he's the one sending those videos oh yeah you are always watching those a king's quest crossover this says the eight event series oh i'm sorry it says the first seven regular tournaments will carry a 91 million dollar sorry pound purse before an individual champion is crowned for the remaining events and a total purse of 22 million pounds will be offered for the top three individuals of the season okay well so greg norman the much maligned greg norman i saw his quote and there is one thing that he did say that sounds kind of cool it's whereas that the 400th player in the world may not get an opportunity to make big money on the pga tour like if he finishes as a top 20 maybe he takes
Starting point is 00:41:21 him 100k but that guy's playing in the Saudi tour. He's taking home like 2 million? Yeah, and if he wins, he's going to – and I don't know what the eligibility is going to be, but I definitely want your brother-in-law to try to play. I've already put it in writing that if he tries to get on the tour that I'm going to be his caddy. Will it be a good look for me?
Starting point is 00:41:43 No, but that 15% that I get from his winnings, we can use that around here to just blow the tour that I'm going to be his caddy. It will be a good look for me. No, but like that 15% that I get from his winnings, like, I mean, I can, we can use that around here to just blow the company up. So I feel like I have to go do it. Didn't vice get a big cash in cash influx from the Saudi Arabia at some point? I swear, I swear that's a thing from a few years ago. Real or fake vice investments? Yeah, we could do that. That would play. The virality. I would much rather watch a par three tour
Starting point is 00:42:15 or a gimmick golf tour or a tour where they have to play with old persimmons. Anyone who says they're not going to watch this is lying. If it's on television, we're all going to end up watching it that's another question what are the tv rights i don't know it's going to be interesting to see how this pans out it's going to be on like paramount or some shit and i'm not going to pay for it you can use my login i don't care what happened i mean there's no i pay for paramount dog i don't care do you really i do let
Starting point is 00:42:42 me get that login yeah actually i think we do too. They do Champions League on there, and they also have other things that I've gotten into. I'm not proud of it. Without getting into the laundry list of issues that a Saudi-funded golf league presents, I don't care if Bubba Watson takes home like $12 million because he won a tournament. Like he won a tournament with, uh, what is presumably going to be a weak field that I probably didn't even watch on TV. And that to me, like, oh man, he made so much
Starting point is 00:43:20 money. That doesn't affect me at all. I don't care. The money doesn't necessarily affect me at all. Yeah. You're right. It's cool for like a dude who's been playing on the canadian tour or something you know who's been just grinding that is a cool story oh i'll be cheering for the other guys more than the the regular like i mean more than like the pga tour pros that we know if there's there's unknowns i'm 100 going to be cheering be cheering for them. They're going up against other tournaments too. Well, not really. Yeah, they are. Fucking no.
Starting point is 00:43:49 They're going up against the John Deere Classic, the first one. They're going up against the... No, I'm sorry. Yeah, they're going up against John Deere. And then they're going up against... It looks like the... Nothing runs like a deer. It looks like they're going up against the rocket mortgage and uh that's in detroit fuck you can't know
Starting point is 00:44:10 you can't know no way nobody nobody's taking down the rocket mortgage uh they might who knows where is that played uh i don't know where it's played right now i think they had some issues with it i think it like it wasn't going to get renewed for a while i would be much more i'm just thinking of different golf scenarios but it would be a lot cooler if a if it wasn't um a regime such as saudi arabia funding it b if it wasn't just regular golf no it would it was like it was like wolf or maybe something easier to follow than there's an angle for somebody with a lot of money to create some type of tour that could be much more, uh,
Starting point is 00:44:49 like I'm down for bits, man. Yeah. They don't need to have a rival league. They don't need to make it like a four or three or four day thing. They could, they could just have like one big day. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:44:58 I always, I always enjoyed watching the skins game back in the day. I always thought that was commanders. The commanders. What? Huh? Oh, sorry. Okay okay i just understood what you said we're doing sports yep you you know football references are lost on me at this point hopefully i don't know hopefully if a league like that that we just talked about gets gets spun up like hopefully the person the the the country or the group funding it didn't um also have a hand in 9-11.
Starting point is 00:45:26 That's all I'm saying. I think that's a good take. Right. You get my good take award for the day. Objectively bad, Randy. Yeah. Unless you want to argue that one. Randy hates the objective subjective thing.
Starting point is 00:45:40 Is it because he doesn't understand it? No, he understands it very well. Every time it's brought up, i always look right at him i don't know how dylan sits in this chair i can't stop just wanting to talk to randy i know it doesn't help because there's two of them sometimes if i like i always if i crack a joke that i that entertains me and you guys don't even hear it or you don't respond to it because it's not actually funny i always just look over at randy hoping that i can get a rise out of him to make me feel just good if yeah randy if my jokes are just falling flat one day you just need to give me some pity laughs just to keep my head in
Starting point is 00:46:12 the game do we need to have his mic on no i know just for some occasional maybe on this weekend and fun some randy gimmicks yeah let's hear from our friends over at solo stove real quick there's nothing quite like the feeling of gathering around a warm fire on a cool evening. And a smokeless fire pit from Solo Stove makes your outdoor moments even more memorable. Because instead of having to constantly dodge campfire fumes, you can sit back, relax, and actually enjoy the fire. And right now, you can get a great deal in a Solo Stove fire pit. Have you been blazing this thing in your backyard? I have.
Starting point is 00:46:41 Have you been blazing this thing in your backyard? I have. You know, I'm someone who suffers from allergies, and I don't really – I'm not a huge fan of campfire smoke. I don't like smelling like it. It makes me – and Solo Stove, when they sent me this, I was very happy because you don't get any of that. It's very limited. You know, if you're doing a campfire on the beach,
Starting point is 00:47:02 if you're doing something like – you always just walk up from from it and you're absolutely reeking of campfire for the rest of the time. Your bed's going to smell like it. Your clothes, you have to wash your clothes. You have to shower off. If you're just having people over for a couple of drinks in the backyard, there's no better place to get a little warmth and a little fire and ambiance than a solo stove. Upgrade your backyard with a solo stove fire pit. It's the perfect catalyst for getting outside and spending more time with family and friends. and you can build lasting memories around the fire pit itself.

Starting point is 00:48:17 code steam for 20 off it's time dave let's talk tony hawk oh big documentary that dolphin that attacked its trainer i must have missed that in the news cycle the video sucks it's on chive tv it's alive tony hawk documentary dropped on hbo uh to everyone who reached out telling me to watch this uh thank you for thinking of me uh to everyone who hasn't watched it and you're interested or you were interested in skateboarding or you did a little skating back in the day, I highly recommend watching this.
Starting point is 00:48:52 This thing plays for people who have no idea about skate culture. Sally got sucked into it and she didn't even want to watch it in the first place. She ended up being like, okay, I'm kind of invested at this point. I could hear Alyssa in the kitchen just kind of watching, kind of over my shoulder.
Starting point is 00:49:08 Okay. Very interested. Were you a Tony Hawk guy back in the day? For the most part, yeah. I was not. So when I got into skating, it was, I know he won like the X game street, but I was more of a street guy, never a vert guy.
Starting point is 00:49:24 And that's obviously what he's street guy, never a vert guy. And that's obviously what he's most known for his vert stuff. So yeah, I was like, Oh, Tony Hawk's cool. But I was never a person who was like, Oh, who thought it was uncool to like him. Yeah. Those people did exist in 1999 when he did the 900. It was like, I was 12 years old and he was a skateboarder and I liked skating. Like it was kind of tailor-made for me to be into him at that point. He also dropped an autobiography that he wrote when I was in eighth grade and we all just read it and kind of not, we didn't get obsessed with Tony Hawk, but it definitely was our starter drug for getting obsessed with skateboarding. Um,
Starting point is 00:49:58 one of the things that blew my mind about the documentary was how much early footage they had of all of these competitions that they had in like del mar uh wherever they went like i don't i mean i think they they were just all along the west coast but they had so much footage from back in the day that was such good footage that it almost felt like you were watching a movie set yeah i was really impressed by that it was high quality um tony was just a kid, man. A child. There's so much of this I did not know. I knew he had trouble coming up on the circuit that a lot of people didn't respect him. A, because he was a kid.
Starting point is 00:50:34 And B, he was doing stuff that no one else was doing. And as we find out in the documentary, there's people who took issue with him. Seriously. Dwayne Peters. What the fuck's that guy's problem dude that guy that guy comes out real hot looks like a huge dickhead first half of the documentary yeah he hates him he hates him all these years later i mean i get it like with whether it's skateboarding i mean the only things i can really compare it to are skateboarding
Starting point is 00:50:59 and snowboarding and i guess skiing too like the old guard does not like seeing the new kids coming in. You really have to earn your keep. If you're like at the skate park and you want to drop into the mini pipe, like you really got to watch out for the older guys who have been doing it and who know what they're doing. Cause they don't want to deal with like kids just bashing into them. And so I get the mentality there, but it's also just like, dude, this guy, this kid's, I mean, obviously they didn't know that he was about to pioneer the sport in a way that no one else could. But it's like, you just hate this little kid because he's blowing the socks off you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:32 Also, these dudes were predominantly pool skaters. And I never skated a pool. That was never a thing. Now, like there were skate parks that had stuff that was like a pool, but I never like, we always had that, like that wish, that pipe dream of like, we'd stumble upon someone's backyard and they had a drained pool and we would skate it. That never happened. We, we just weren't good enough to do that stuff.
Starting point is 00:51:58 I could drop in, but in terms of actually doing tricks and stuff, I could just never do that. I think that the, the five months out of the year that we could skate weren't exactly like it wasn't conducive to us being any good but like we had a we had a skate park that was honestly pretty mid and then we had a really nice skate park an hour and a half away that we would try to go to once a month and like we just weren't very good at it but you i still learned the dynamics of like being a younger skateboarder skating with a bunch of dudes who are like maybe 18 19 20 who are probably getting really good and at their peak yeah were you surprised that uh his dad was such a big player
Starting point is 00:52:35 in the early days of skateboard competitions i had no idea and i honestly understand why people hated him because of the dad part of it i would have i think i would have hated him because of that too it's like the it's like the It's, it's like, it's somehow way worse than the coach's son because the guy's actually planning the competition. So I do think it's, I enjoyed the fact that his dad was so into his son's passion for skateboarding that he was like, no, we need to make this bigger. We got to make this official. We need to make sure that like, if they're skating, they're doing it with reason and they're going to make money off of it and profit from this when they introduced the dad you know he's ex-navy guy i just assumed that he was going to be
Starting point is 00:53:14 a force fighting tony's desire to be a pro skater like i was like oh he's going to be the antagonist here but no it was the opposite it didn't make any sense because it wasn't like he wasn't like a cool dad trying to like dress cool and hang out he still went out there wearing like his uh like a vfw hat and like his short sleeve button down like michael douglas and whatever that movie is oh he looked like he looked like a a dad that coaches like peewee football yeah it takes it way too seriously and i guess i don't know it's hard to get a read on like what the what that guy's relationship was with the other skaters duane peters uh noted pool skater and punk rock lead singer uh was not a fan as we found out later who is he the lead singer some california punk man i only know that because i just
Starting point is 00:54:01 wikipedia him i need to know who it is. The Huns? Unfamiliar. U.S. bombs? It's truly hard to say. Yeah, I'm not very familiar with either of these, which probably tells me everything. I don't even want to support that guy after how much of a dickhead he came off like in the documentary. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:23 Where the documentary really started hitting was when I could start putting together my memories with the memories from that. And it really stemmed from the 1999 X games. Uh, I have looked up the 99 X games results. Was this the 900? This is when he did the 900 in the best vert best trick competition, because we just talked about we just talked about the size of the purses for the Saudi tour, can you guess how much the winner of Skateboard Vert won in 1999 at the X Games? Which – what –
Starting point is 00:54:58 X Games is this. This is how many years in? This isn't the first or second. No, no. It's been solidified at this point, I think, for years i'm gonna say five hundred thousand dollars no you cannot be further off this is the furthest off you've ever been in guessing numbers fifty thousand dollars bucky lasik won the vert final and got thirteen thousand dollars andy mcdonald got second and took home five tony hawk got third and took home or sorry andy mcdonald got 7 000 tony hawk got third and got five thousand dollars for it
Starting point is 00:55:31 this is 99 99 this isn't like the the dark years of skateboarding which correct they did go through that's that's blowing my mind right now this is also when they did doubles through. That's blowing my mind right now. This is also when they did doubles and they would have two guys skating at the same time. Always made me nervous. Yeah, I never liked it. And Tony Hawk and Andy McDonald won that one and they had to split a $13,000 purse.
Starting point is 00:55:56 So for all this, Tony Hawk probably took home 20 grand for that weekend, which like for being a professional athlete who's probably the best and most iconic of your sport, at that time, taking home 20 grand for the weekend seems like nothing. He didn't make shit until the Activision deal. And he basically says that. And there was, and he was, didn't he have to take a job as a graphic designer?
Starting point is 00:56:14 It sounds like he said that he was like coding and stuff. I just can't, I can't believe a world where Tony Hawk was trying to learn how to code because he was scared of his skateboarding future. But I also grew up in a world where tony hawk had tony hawk's pro skater for so long yeah it that kind of blew my mind that i i don't you know i didn't get into skating until like the mid 90s but i don't remember there being like a time where like skateboarding was uncool i don't know it was like the cool kids weren't skateboarding but there was still skate culture like always. So there was some controversy around the 900, which you wouldn't have known from this documentary. I do think that this documentary is very self-serving to Tony Hawk, which it's about Tony Hawk. So I guess it should be.
Starting point is 00:56:57 But at that X Games, there were two brothers. Do you remember the Pappas brothers? Toss Pappas and I forget the other one. Toss was the better skater. there were two brothers do you remember the papas brothers yes papas and i forget the other one toss was the better skater at that same time toss papas was getting really good at trying to do 900s he was as close as tony hawk was to landing 900s if not closer based on the footage that i've seen from both documentaries but one about the papas brothers one about tony hawk like he is just as close if not closer to landing it and I don't know the actual details of how
Starting point is 00:57:26 this all panned out, but what Toss Pappas claims is that despite he was actually in this X Games, but Tony Hawk had him removed from the best trick competition because he knew that he was going to try to throw down a 900. And so he went like scorched earth at the competition, was chanting like, fuck Tony Hawk, probably got kicked out before he actually did the 900. But now there's a little ickiness around that whole scene for me. I remember where I was watching it on the couch with my buddy John, just like getting psyched up for it. And now like knowing that there's another dude who probably could have landed that before Tony Hawk. It's like, oh, this is kind of weird.
Starting point is 00:58:02 I remember when I was watching the doc, I remember thinking like, I bet someone somewhere else with no profile has landed at the 900. They have footage of Toss Papa's training for the X Games before, or in 1999. And they have him skating on this really aggressive vert ramp. And how close he gets to landing a 900, gets closer than pretty much all tony hawk's attempts until he lands one when in the actual competition he was definitely going to do it at some point and he did end up landing it at some point in his career i did not realize how much of a um psychopath tony hawk was and how competitive he was. Like that's, that was new to me. Tunnel vision. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:47 With the 900, with the McTwists, with all that. It's kind of, I mean, I don't want to sound like a chotch bag right now, but it's like kind of inspiring seeing someone just so dialed in and so dedicated to doing something like that. I don't really have anything in my life. Oh, you were inspired. Cool, dude. I just, I don't have anything in my life that I can like go and do right now where I get like that kind of willpower behind it i feel like back in the day when you would be doing like even learning skateboarding it's like no i need to i need to figure out how to do this like the repetition of it you know it's going to work i don't have anything in my life right now that requires repetition on like a very rudimentary scale to get me get me better at something
Starting point is 00:59:22 maybe that's a personal problem well yeah what are you trying to say here yeah i need hobbies um just get in get back into golf man i can make this happen i can't get better at golf i was um i was pleasantly surprised by this i didn't think it was going to be i didn't hear much about it and then like the people that were gassing it up, I was like, Oh, they weren't from my era. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:59:48 okay, am I really going to enjoy this? And I did. It was cool to see. He was kind of honest and was like, basically mentioned he went to rehab. They didn't really say what for he checked himself in somewhere. I don't know what he was abusing or if it was just kind of like he needed to
Starting point is 01:00:04 step back. Pain pills. Maybe. I don't know. I had tousing or if it was just kind of like he needed to step back. Pain pills, maybe? I don't know. If I had to guess, like – Watching him fall, even like the falls that like they fall correctly, like on their knees and slide down. I'm like, that has got to be so much of a jolt to your spine. The ending of the documentary was essentially about how these guys who have skateboarded their entire lives and are still skating to this day, like Tony Hawk. These guys who have skateboarded their entire lives and are still skating to this day, like Tony Hawk.
Starting point is 01:00:30 He's obviously not skating in competitions, but he's still skating, what they said, I think four to five days a week. And he's not just going out and doing a kickflip. He's skating vert four to five days a week and essentially killing himself doing it. And all the guys that were talking about it, they were just kind of like, well, yeah, the damage is already done. I still love skating, so I'm going to keep doing it. They didn't really, I feel like unless I missed it, they didn't really ask Tony Hawk how he felt about
Starting point is 01:00:50 like continuing skating. I don't know if he ever even commented on it in the documentary, but it's scary to see these guys just torture their bodies and slam their heads so many times.
Starting point is 01:00:57 When he fractured his skull trying to do the loop, like how do you, how do you keep skating after that at age 57? Dude, when they brought the Bones bones brigade back to do that like anniversary thing and they were all they were doing that synchronized vert routine that was just a bunch of like people on the wrong side of 50 i mean on skateboards man and that made me very nervous when i saw that they were doing that i was like something's gonna
Starting point is 01:01:22 like i bet something goes wrong here and then sure enough like yeah a bunch of 50 year old dudes skateboarding something definitely went wrong oh yeah that was tony was trying to do the uh he's trying to land the 900 again right just absolutely ruined ruined the fun for everybody yeah he kind of kind of fucked that up uh the mvp you noted this i think the mvp of the entire documentary was rodney mullen absolutely rodney mullen that dude's on another planet i love it to anyone out there who's not familiar with rodney mullen but played tony hawk's pro skater you definitely know who he is because you definitely did used him for street competitions where you needed a manual for a long time oh yeah his video when you could in in tony hawk's pro skater if you would beat the
Starting point is 01:01:57 game with somebody you got their video his video was so sick dude he is so introspective about skateboarding it is it is like a pleasure to watch like at first you're kind of like is this guy who is what's this guy's deal and then you're like wow this dude just this dude just uh touched my my soul yes talking about a vert ramp he he's i think good friends with daewon song another street skater who's pretty legendary and there's a documentary. I think it's shorter and I don't remember who put it out, but they did a Daiwan Song documentary on YouTube. And Rodney Mullen is a very big factor in that.
Starting point is 01:02:33 So when I saw that he was in the Tony Hawk one, I was excited because he's just an out there guy at this point. Yeah. He seems like someone who's done DMT. For sure. For sure. He's got big DMmt vibes yeah yeah possible mdma like at the time of filming he's doing something yeah stacy peralta was pretty good
Starting point is 01:02:53 too but stacy peralta you can just tell as a consummate salesman like yeah he spent his entire life doing bones brigade or peralta whatever it was and like you can just tell that there's a reason that he was successful in it because he is an engaging person who will gas you up, who knows how to do this kind of stuff. Maybe you want to skateboard even more, Dave. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:12 I thought about buying one. I thought about, I was looking at some of those birdhouse decks from back in the day and there's some clean ones. I'm going to end up getting a cruiser board and taking it on some, some minor Hills at some point soon. It's just going to happen. It's inevitable.
Starting point is 01:03:24 You're going to wear a helmet and wrist guards? Yeah, dude, for sure. Wrist guards were the least cool, but they were very necessary. I watched my buddy break his wrist twice. And from that moment, I was like, I have to wear all the pads. You guys accused me of wearing wrist guards
Starting point is 01:03:39 when I rollerbladed the other day, and I poo-pooed it and made fun of you guys. No, I didn't do that. When I would play roller hockey, I would wear wrist guards because i didn't want to fuck up my wrist what not happy with it could you even go top shelf dude please i'm wondering if you could even go top titties my cousins gave me some hockey gloves uh when i was like 10 years old and they were colored like uh the la kings wayne gretzky hockey gloves were and i would wear those out to go just dangle in my driveway all the time and i felt like the
Starting point is 01:04:10 coolest dude of all time be careful man you can get arrested for dangling in your driveway stop found that out the hard way it's just too horny hey turn your mic up i'm gonna i gotta do a little tea break oh let's let me talk to randy real quick yeah talk to randy hey randy hi will do you want me to do the ad read for this weekend in fun right now sure do you let me talk to Randy real quick.

Starting point is 01:05:53 I'm not hungover from Las Vegas, but I am definitely financially hurting. I just got all the Venmo requests during this podcast, and I've been doing those. Are you sweating right now from anxiety? No, no, I knew that what they were coming. And so hopefully I'll take it easy this weekend for the wallet, but you know, who knows? I'm still in my twenties. Mine just go blow it all. Oh, okay. Hey, for those asking about my lawn Sunday. Oh, is that how you get your lawn so dope? Big Sunday family Dave what are you getting into this weekend?

Starting point is 01:06:59 Easter early. So we're going to, I'm going to be up there for a couple of days and we're gonna i'm gonna be up there for a couple days and we're coming back saturday got a wedding the night before the day before easter a wedding and a guy from college is gonna be a bunch of our old college buddies gonna be in town for it and uh yeah we're doing that so you're gonna be hung over on easter yeah i am aren't i you're gonna be hiding eggs and like worried you're gonna to fall over. I got to remember where we hide them. That was a real problem back in the day. You forget where some of them are. You'd find one like two months later.
Starting point is 01:07:33 This is his second Easter for the roadsman. Yes. This will be his first actual mobile able to, quote, find eggs. I'm a little worried about Fritz finding eggs. I mean, like... He's quick on the crawl game, but, like, he doesn't know what to do. Yeah, he's not going to be able to, like, sniff it out.
Starting point is 01:07:56 He's going to, like, go towards an egg and then see my shoe and be like, no, I'm playing with that shoe. Sure. Yeah, absolutely. There will be a number of things to distract our children. It's going to end up with me just kind of handing them the egg i don't even know what we're putting inside of them they're they're one year old like they don't need anything actually in the eggs
Starting point is 01:08:12 hey man you're telling me sunday we're doing we're doing uh an old easter favorite uh steaks hell yeah we thought about that sounds tight thought about- That sounds tight. We thought about picking up. I was like, you know what? I've got some steaks in the freezer. Let's thaw them out. Let me throw on my coconut aminos marinade.
Starting point is 01:08:32 Stop with the coconut. Dude, just get soy sauce. No, bro. I'm going coconut aminos. I hate it. They need to come up with a different name for it than coconut aminos. That's what they are. But it's amino.
Starting point is 01:08:43 Why can't you just call it literally anything else amino acids just call it coconut juice that's i don't know if that helps i don't think it does either so yeah i don't unfortunately not gonna be playing any golf up in the dallas area i won't really have time for much i had had you playing golf on Friday with the Thursday departure. I'm doing an Easter thing at my in-laws before. So we're doing Friday, Easter lunch and Friday, Easter dinner, my parents' place. Not a bad situation. It's not. I'm going to be with Rhodes at my parents by myself. Oh, no pressure. And yeah, we'll just see. I think he's coming out of what they call a leap, which is just another way of saying they seem to be bad as fuck for five days.
Starting point is 01:09:34 He just started walking. He can already jump. Yeah, he can. Dude, that's tight. Remember when we went to the new studio and Dylan, we're about to leave and Dylan's like, y'all don't think I can touch the ceiling? And we're like, leave and Dylan's like, I could, y'all don't think I could touch the ceiling. We're like,
Starting point is 01:09:45 no, we don't. And then he attempted like six times and he didn't touch it one time. Yeah, spoiler alert,
Starting point is 01:09:50 Dylan never touched the ceiling. It was just the most random thing. He was like, I bet I could touch it. Like, you know,
Starting point is 01:09:57 you've done this before and it didn't end well. I wish there was a way that I could gas my, my numbers up when it came to my vertical so that we could like somehow manipulate it that I touched the ceiling before Dylan did.
Starting point is 01:10:07 But I don't think that's in play. Something tells me Dylan's got a higher vert than me and he's also taller than me. That's something you can work on. You said you're looking for something to become obsessed with. Well, I have my weighted shoes on right now so I can start jumping higher. Who was it? Which one of us was it that thought Scotty scheffler was wearing a weighted vest micah micah was positive that the vest was weighted i don't know what the point of that be
Starting point is 01:10:30 it's already a difficult course to walk why would you make it more difficult why would you put on a weighted vest in between shots it makes no sense yeah it was a theory that i liked but not a theory that actually panned out i'm glad like i'm glad he the theory, but I don't agree with it in any way. What are you doing? Not much. Uh, not much. I'm thinking about,
Starting point is 01:10:54 and I haven't, I haven't cleared this by anybody yet, but I'm thinking about doing a post move happy hour on Friday. Randy's hurt, struggling with the wallet. So if he needs some drinks on the company card, he could do that. But I think after the move card, he could do that. But I think after the move-in, I think it's just that we go to a bar on Friday afternoon and tip back a couple pops.
Starting point is 01:11:12 I wish y'all would wait for me to come back. Can you always do it Monday? Can I tell you why I want to do this? I'm kidding. Sally's going out with her Dangerous Nights crew at 845 on Friday night, which puts me on kid duty. And so I kind of want to go out and have a couple beers before I head back for the night and settle in to be on babysitter duty. Just like one or two beers. What if it's $2 you call it?
Starting point is 01:11:32 Then I guess I'm having a Svedka and water. That sounds terrible. Then Saturday, yeah, I'm doing nothing this weekend. Not really much going on. Hanging out with Sally's fam for Easter. Saturday, probably doing nothing. Might take the kayak out. Sally's fam for Easter Saturday probably doing nothing might take the kayak out
Starting point is 01:11:46 Sally's probably gonna be did you get your chacos yet? no I need to get my chacos dude fucking disgrace to the kayak community it's disgusting it is I'm mad about it
Starting point is 01:11:54 I show up and these dudes are just like get out of here dude can they even see your footwear while you're in the kayak? probably not can you fish off that kayak? I could if I wanted to
Starting point is 01:12:03 for sure can you okay I'm just not very good at fly fishing at this point if I wanted to, for sure. Can you? Okay. I'm just not very good at fly fishing at this point. So I need to get those skills up before I can actually do that. I think I'm going to take it out for a little Saturday row as long as it's not a shitty outside. Do people paddleboard over by you? They do, but not really next to our place because it's too wavy.
Starting point is 01:12:25 Because I'm there. Wavy. Right. Because I like paddle boarding. I want to paddle board. But I feel like at peak time, like going to the place where you rent one and do it, it's just kind of a beating. I saw something weird the other day when I was at the public boat launch. I was down there just hanging out with Rosie.
Starting point is 01:12:46 I saw two dudes roll up. These guys were probably in their 50s, maybe even close to 60. They were older dudes. They were both wearing wetsuits. And they both had surfboards with them. Not paddle boards. These are straight up short surfboards like you'd see Kelly Slater having. And they just went, put them in the water, and paddled out together.
Starting point is 01:13:11 What did they do when they got out there? Did they just sit on their boards? I didn't look. Maybe they were training. Maybe they've got a surfing trip and they're just trying to get. That's what I thought. I was like, are these guys just trying to get some reps in and get some workouts in for their arms or something? That's what I thought.
Starting point is 01:13:24 I was like, are these guys just trying to get some reps in and get some workouts in for their arms or something? But I just thought it was very weird that two guys were just taking their surfboards out onto a lake that you certainly cannot surf on. No. And they had no paddle for paddleboarding or anything. They just went out and just did it themselves. That's really bizarre. Yeah. Yeah. I need to know more.
Starting point is 01:13:43 I'm going to keep an eye out for them. Hey, Randy, let's go paddleboard in the next couple of weeks. I need to know more I'm going to keep an eye out for him I'm going to Hey Randy Let's go paddleboard In the next couple weeks Let's do it like On a Friday morning Okay Randy thumbs up off mic
Starting point is 01:13:54 Sounds kind of zen Well Dylan will be back next week Hopefully But thank you all for tuning in And indulging us We'll see you over on Patreon For voicemails See you guys later.
Starting point is 01:14:05 Bye.
