Yeah. You need to work on yours. The ghosts. It's endearing, though. As a guy who has a perfect one, you need to work on yours. It's kind of demeaning. That's good. There you go.

My wife. That's Chris Now. Yeah, you can't. What? That's different. Different character, man. You're going off script. Yeah.

You're going off script. I. You're going off script. I'm happy to get back on that dub train tomorrow. Yeah, I'm excited for you to get on the dub train as well, Dylan. We also have a newsletter we've been doing lately. It drops every Friday. We've really enjoyed doing it. Washed.substack.com. Each of us writes a column.

And yeah, we have a little fun with it. Last week, I talked about how I pretend to not wash my hands sometimes in hopes that Dave gets mad at me, but it doesn't work. What, Dave? Can I pull back the curtain on that? Yeah. Have I ever? No.

I acknowledge that in the column. I know. That it's in my head, and I think that Dave thinks about it, but Dave doesn't think about it. No. It's my main character syndrome. I believe in your hygiene. Thank you.

Mine is very real. You probably shouldn't take advantage of it. You're misophonia. I have misophonia. Oh, you can't handle no chewing? Really upsets me. You could never be a cattleman like me. You could never own cattle because they're just chewing all the time.

In the newsletter, I wrote about classic American spooky films. You got called out by someone for being factually incorrect about something. Did you see that comment? No, what did it say? You're going to have to go back at them today. What did it say? I don't know. Something about how some character was not in some movie yet about Halloween. I famously don't watch super scary movies. I only watch the playful

kid movies for Halloween. I'm going to go look right now. We can also take this time to talk about our five-star review of the week. It's the most viral thing I've ever done. Please go leave a review, and I will read it on Wednesday. YouTube.com slash circlingback and washmedia.shop. If you are listening to this today, you can probably still pre-order a sweatshirt,

but it's going away soon, baby. But it's time to recap this weekend in fun presented by our good friends over at Dunkin'. It may still be 100 degrees outside here, but it's officially fall, baby, because Dunkin' says it is. And because it's fall, Dunkin' is serving up the legend, the icon, the pumpkin spice signature latte. You can snag one at your local Duncan, or you can give the rest of their fall menu a try. We're talking nutty pumpkin coffees, pumpkin cake donuts, pumpkin muffins, and Dave's favorite, the maple sugar bacon breakfast sandwich, baby. I actually went to a Duncan location the other day, scooped a little coffee, and I got some little donut holes, the little pumpkin donut holes, and they went hard.

You got pumpkin donut holes and you didn't bring any to the office? Yes. Oh, those are so good. Guess how many Sally ordered when she ordered the donut holes? Tell me this isn't a crazy number to order. Six dozen. No, she ordered three. I was like, we got to up that.

What is that, like 75 cents? Yeah, I was like, we got to up that. I want a million more of these. They're so good. They're so good. For how many people? Three of us. One hole? First can a million more of these. They're so good. They're so good. For how many people? Three of us. One whole of firsts?

Firsts can take down seven of these, like, no questions. That's just not enough. All right, here's a kicker, though. Here's a kicker, though. If you're a Dunkin' Rewards member, exclusive limited time offers are always on the horizon. Right now, I'm talking about free coffee Mondays where members kick off their week with a free medium

or hot ice coffee with a purchase. It's super easy to become a member. You just head over to the app or you can visit duncanrewards.com. And when you sign up, you earn bonus points towards free food and drinks. You gain access to exclusive deals and you unlock secret menu items. America runs on Dunkin'. And I have to say, there's nothing better than free coffee on a Monday. Turn that around. Dylan, what'd you get into this weekend? Oh, thanks for asking, Will. Pretty low-key Friday. Didn't do much, and kind of perfect. Just chilled.

Saturday, family day. Well, Parks had a soccer game. First of the season, they won 7-0. The Ragazzi. Oh! So he's in third grade. They're third and fourth graders on this team, so they're older kids. And some of them are, like, I'm not even kidding, a foot and a half taller than Parks.

It turns out they're pretty good too. So yeah, caught the dub big time. Messi, famously pretty short for a soccer guy. He's got that field vision. Yeah. Maybe your son's like Messi. That'd be awesome. Have you thought about that?

That'd be awesome. Have you thought about making him the next GOAT? No. Let's talk offline. got a i've got a seminar later saturday went to uh the old man's house had some family over there we watched uh football watched texas baylor and uh we had pot roast it was lovely and a good bottle of wine y'all famously panned me for for pulling trig on the pot roast too was lovely and a good ball of wine y'all have famously panned me for for pulling trig on the pot roast too early in the season it wasn't my decision but it was damn good i'll say that do you eat the carrots uh no come on dude which old man's house were you at my father oh

not just like a random old dude no that was my father wasn't prince uh charles or whatever what if we found out dylan was just squatting up with like 80 year old men like watching texas games he met him on like a forum he's brought back bring him back dylan bring it back one time for the real ones sunday not as chill tweeted about this but uh had a very sick dog at home 3 30 in the morning she woke me up whining at the back door needing to go out because she had an emergency oh shit okay get up and let her out step out of bed and immediately into uh diarrhea on the floor which is on the rug under my bed then i noticed that there's vomit vomit sporadically placed throughout the house.

Assuming it's not yours. In pretty much every room. Also noticed that there's vomit on my bed. Stella was not supposed to be in my bed that night, but she got up there anyway and she threw up in it. So I've been dealing with a very sick pup, spent all day cleaning the floor getting vomit and diarrhea out of carpet washed all of my bedding disinfected the whole place and uh just not the best day but i have a very clean apartment now which is nice very clean place that is the that is the silver lighting yeah so that part's cool how's she doing now she hasn't she hasn't released since yesterday morning at about i think 11 okay okay that's one way to put it yeah i mean because it was coming

out both ends your full body explosion right it's coming out both ends but she seems to be on the up i'm gonna go check on her immediately after this episode i'm gonna go home and see um if she's still doing okay let her out that kind of thing but yeah not the best day man hey man we're all thinking of stella what we're here getting through it thank you i think she's gonna be all right now you check the gums to see if they're pale you know that's a major sign of like you need to go to the vet she seemed okay mostly just you know couldn't keep anything down i don't know i was just says like if they want to eat something like they're generally going to be fine yeah so i always just try to do that give her like uh half of her breakfast this morning just to see how she handled it she seemed to be handling it very well so

that's a good thing do they make dog diapers yeah yep yeah we had to put them on rosie when she got bit oh it was really fun to have uh you know an oozing wound and then uh dog diapers to deal with too super chill sometimes they use them for dogs that are going through heat oh okay yeah you're watching the movie yeah they just love pacino they just get so excited when they're watching the movie that they just piss themselves Yeah. They just fucking love Pacino. They just get so excited when they're watching the movie that they just piss themselves.

So that was my weekend in fun slash not fun. What's your favorite line from Heat? Specifically Al Pacino. I don't know. Okay. I sort of like them all. Okay. There's one in particular.

It's just, I don't know why he delivered it like he did. We'll have to watch it after the show. Stream room. How about you, Davey? Hey. Yeah, what'd that boy dip into? I watched Heat. No.

Fairly low key. Friday night, my wife went to dinner, so I was home with the boys. And, yeah, very low key. Just listening to some Texas Ranger baseball on the boys. Very low-key. Just listening to some Texas Ranger baseball on the radio. Something I've become very fond of. Saturday.

That's such an old man thing. The Rangers play-by-play guy, their radio guy, Eric Nadel, is definitely the best in Dallas-Fort Worth sports. I would say Major League Baseball, he's up there. Very well-respected. Just calls a great game. Eric Nadel is definitely the best in Dallas-Fort Worth sports, and I would say Major League Baseball, he's up there. Very well respected and just calls a great game.

Saturday was – this is like the second or third weekend I've said this, but I don't hate it. Just honestly, college football, start to finish the entire day. A little bit of game day as much of it as you can take it's not that great um but just watched it through you know till midnight who's that new guy they got i like him talking about pat mcafee yeah yeah that guy's good very loud yeah yeah that guy's good very loud dude i like how boisterous he is like how he says program instead of program i never noticed it you don't like how he pronounces some words he even spells it that way like on the graphics on his show

it's like leaning into like how nick saban says it uh. You're a little too worried about people's pronunciations. I'm not taking that bait. No! I'm not taking that bait, Randy. It was a straight tequila day. Daddy was... And if you had the nerve to ask me, that's on you. Did Alyssa just come home from dinner and just see you completely naked in your living room yeah what time did the clothes finally fall off yeah uh the clothes

the clothes never made it on were you just were you just walking through your house just like zombie mode naked all day i shampoo affected so like oh yeah that's sick i love a good shampoo i just walked around my home in the nude uh she my wife uh whipping me up some margaritas as she will be careful dave what if you had clothes on they would have been falling off uh okay well great time to announce it uh my wife's pregnant so she's very pregnant she's 30 weeks pregnant and so she she gets joy out of mixing up drinks doing the hey congratulations let me be the first to say congratulations how did you keep it from us this long uh who was randy who was actually first i was just now i don't know what i think alyssa probably found out first i accidentally gave it away like a couple weeks ago on the pod

and dave was like i haven't told anybody yet. I was like, oh, shit, she's very pregnant. Nobody knows. Y'all didn't even know. Yeah. My parents don't even know. That's crazy. You should tell them. You should tell them.

Yeah, let them know, man. So, yeah, going to be a real fun – Watch Media is having a late fall winter season. Yeah, we're putting up numbers. We're going to have a lot on my shoulders, the Q4 leading into Q1 next year. Yeah, Q4 is going to be Dorne heavy. The Dorne and Randy show. Yeah, so I got a little tequila drunk.

You know what? I did something, and I wasn't even going to announce this either. I decided to give in to the hype, i jumped into the zach bryan catalog okay and i i really i really like the guy it's fucking good i think the guy is the guy's i hate to say too but he's really good his album cover is kind of gas yeah the sig like he's got a great jawline he's got a killer jaw as you guys know i've been spending a lot more time at the record store and his his record is right on display and every time I walk by, I'm like, man, he looks kind of dope. Have you spun it yet? No. I haven't bought it. Maybe I got it. I'll hit it on Spotify

today and I'll give my official review on Wednesday. I wouldn't say it's right in your wheelhouse, but it's really good. Dude, I have no bounds, dude. I'm creating a playlist that is purely upbeat Zach Bryan songs. Not that I don't like the other ones. It's just like, man, I have no bounds, dude. I'm creating a playlist that is purely upbeat Zach Bryan songs. Not that I don't like the other ones. It's just like, man, I don't... The new album has a lot of slower stuff, I feel like, compared to. And I'm just trying to get on my upbeat shit. What's your favorite John on there right now?

Dude, Fearing Fridays is, from that that genre probably my favorite song in the last like five years holy shit yeah it's out here fucking good grief of yeah of the uh whatever you whatever americana i don't even know i don't really like i don't know how to i don't know how to take yeah i don't like to put in a box you know it could be like a number of things yeah the one with uh why are you doing ben shapiro? The one with Casey Musgraves is gas. Hmm. Casey Musgraves, not gas. Sorry.

You said Ben Shapiro. I've never done that before. I like it. I really like it. Dylan, I noticed something about you. It's not bad for your first go at it. I like it. I like-

I'm glad that ben shapiro exists thank you will i have a real issue with sunday scaries you should be up chasing the bag uh what were we talking about oh yeah is that right is good does it bother you that he there is an inexplicable apostrophe at the end of fridays yes is there something in the song that i'm missing is Is Friday's possessive? What is Friday's owning in this? Nothing. It was pointed out to me the day the album dropped, actually.

Like, look at this. How do you not go back and correct that in the metadata? I don't know. He kind of makes it endearing. Yeah. Kind of like, hey, man, he's kind of the real deal. It's a very common mistake because if you type it out in iMessage, it auto puts the apostrophe in.

But you should know better when you're doing an album and you're filling out the names of the songs. Did it frustrate you when Taylor Swift went full lowercase during the pandemic? I didn't know that she did that. I'm not that into it. I'm not super Swifty. I, for one, am not surprised that our grammar and our language as a whole is falling apart, much like our country. Thank you. Yeah. I agree, Ben.

Thank you, Will. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sunday football. Dope. Dude,

that's fucking sick. Oh yeah. Sorry guys. That's all right. It's all right, man. Fucking kidding. This is what we signed up for.

See, this is why I wanted you guys to, this is why I called you guys out last week for not being happy enough. I wanted you guys to be like, to really like to really like harness the happiness and and display it because i knew that it might not last forever i didn't think it was going to end this quickly i got faith though the best teams in the nfl right now are two and one damn the best teams these undefeated teams have too much pressure on their shoulders they're peaking too early imo dude i am ho

humble or honest you can't put my emotions in a box oh damn it's good dude i had such a big weekend friday night guess what i did just take a wild guess no you can't guess it dude you drink straight tequila friday night i did have a frozen margarita friday night that's it uh but i watched uh the netflix movie love it I'll guess. No, you can't guess it, dude. Did you drink straight tequila? Friday night. I did have a frozen margarita Friday night. That's it. But I watched the Netflix movie Love at First Sight. You guys see this movie?

It's got the girl from White Lotus in it. The girl that everyone made fun of how she dressed. You guys know the premise of this movie? Tell me. Tell me this isn't very in my wheelhouse. It's a movie about two people who are boarding a flight to go to London. And they somehow find themselves in business class seated next to each other and they fall in love on the flight only for her to lose his contact information was it a meet cute it was a meet cute

oh i hate that phrase so much while i did not love how the movie panned out overall, I will say it's a great watch for a nice fall night in. Give me the name of it again. Love at First Sight. It's the number one movie on Netflix currently. Should be fairly easy to find. It gets the Sunday Scaries seal of approval. Saturday, just kind of sat around watching college football all day. It was great.

Hell yes. Dude, it was fucking great. I had an all-time just chill sesh during Fritz's nap window on Saturday. It was one of those moments where I realized the greatness that was happening while it was happening, and I was just like, oh my god, I'm cooking right now. Sally was sleeping. I had the lights down low. I had the college football playing on mute because I didn't have any significant

investment in those games at that point. Had some music going. I was reading on the couch and i was like all right i did it and then my life's gonna be really chaotic in like two weeks because we're having another kid so it's just gonna be like yo what happened to this yeah but it was good to realize in the moment that it was happening you know it's like you know when they ask pitchers like hey when did you realize that you hadn't given up a hit yet and And they're like, oh, like third inning. Like for me, I realized it probably about like fourth, fifth inning. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Last night I did something that was unexpected for a Sunday night. Sal and I went on a date and I ordered the baked Alaska from this restaurant. And they did table side flames that they poured over the baked Alaska. And it was so lit that I have to order a baked alaska everywhere i go now okay without the whole charade good dessert it was fine okay it was fine like i don't know i don't know if baked alaska is totally in my wheelhouse but you know i'm thinking about serving them at willmont's what

is it uh it's like got some meringue. It had like a little cookie crust at the bottom. I don't really know, to be honest. I'd love to read this. I can't. No, read it. Baked Alaska. Ben Shapiro, what is it?

Baked Alaska, also known as a Bombay Alaska. Omelette. Norvigiene. Omelette surprise or omelette. Siberiene. I'm sorry. Depending on the country, is a dessert consisting of ice cream and cake

topped with brown meringue or meringue? I think it's pronounced meringue. Yeah. So I probably didn't need to read that first part, but I kind of like the Bombay, Alaska. I kind of like that better, too. I'm going to start ordering it like that and be like, no, that's how I say it.

That's what I call it. I'm a traditionalist. So shout out to all the baked Alaskans out there. Shout out to the 2-in-1 Detroit Lions. Okay. That was my weekend. Pretty chill weekend. Pretty happy with how things went.

Hey, I finished extraction too, by the way. Why are you so into extraction right now, guy so much killing right it's just they're just fun movies to put on that's what i did friday i watched extraction too do you see what i mean about the uh the training montage part yeah i thought about that i think the reason he kept his clothes on is because it was quite cold it doesn't matter it's chris heworth, and he's doing a training montage out in a lakeside cabin, pop top for a player one time. What are you doing?

Who's directing that movie? I didn't know Hemsworth was in this. I might watch it. Dude, he's great. I mean, we've had this conversation before, but Hottest Man Alive? Oh, yeah, for sure. For sure.

I think I've tried to say Cavill, but the more I look at Hemsworth, I'm like, dude're you're the best looking dude i've ever seen it's either him or cal travis kelsey stop warren kelson a sec because he is a handsome man but he's no chris hemsworth i beg to differ okay thank you ben you guys have no clue how much i've been trying to workshop a tweet that involves the phrase kelsey grammar with tra with Travis Kelsey so I can get a Frazier take on it. It's been escaping me this entire time. You can't quite land that plane. It's been so difficult. You'll get there.

I know. I'm hoping she writes a song about him or something and there's something grammatically incorrect and I'd be like, that's Kelsey Grammar. You get it? You get it? Hey, can we talk about our friends over at Rocket Money right quick? Please. Dylan, I know you were having an issue the other day because you were trying to set up a – you were worried about watching the Texas Longhorns on the Longhorn Network, and you were like, I need to figure out how to do this. And that puts you in a situation where you're like having to sign up for this subscription service

that you're probably not going to cancel, and you're probably going to kick yourself for it later down the line. These like one-off signups to watch something specific will get you. Because you'll do it, and like three months later, you're probably not going to cancel, and you're probably going to kick yourself for it later down the line. These one-off sign-ups to watch something specific will get you. Because you'll do it, and three months later, you're like, oh my gosh, I watched that one thing. I'm still paying for it? What am I doing? I'm an idiot.

Well, we've got a service here that's going to help you out. If your subscriptions are draining your wallet, just know that the average person has around 12 paid subscriptions. They might not even remember subscribing to half of those. If you have no idea just how much you're spending each month, you need Rocket Money. It's this great app that tracks all of your expenses so you know exactly where your money's going. And I have to say, this isn't even just for recurring expenses. It's great just for tracking

all your finances. Rocket Money is a personal finance app that finds and cancels your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps you lower your bills all in one place. Most people think they're spending about $80 a month on their subscriptions, but in reality, it's way closer to $200. You're signed up for so many things, streaming apps for just one show, for just one game, Dylan, stuff you just don't use anymore. It's so easy to lose track of what you're paying for. With Rocket Money, you can easily cancel the ones that you don't want with just the press of a button.

Kelsey ordered a Calcicino while Grammer insisted on a Frasier roast. Coffee emoji, football emoji, TV emoji, hashtag coffee and celebs. That's gassed. Does that go viral?

Let's find out. Does that go viral? See, viral man you got the hot hand this reason did nick adams craft this tweet this is uh yeah that would be a real bummer if you find out nick adams was the guy behind chat gpt he's the ai oh man man i don't know if this tweets it i don't know if it's it either i. I feel like you should go back into the lab. I mean, it's not very often we get to walk into the studio and have one of the boys go viral not once but twice in the span of about two minutes.

I don't know if that's been done around these parts. I have never experienced that before. That was a thrilling time. I still don't think if I combine my numbers that I even do what you did, though. What's your final tally on that mega viral tweet you had about your son, Seven? At its peak, it's like dipped back for some reason, but I had 54,000 retweets on it. It says like 52 now or like 51 point something.

Oh, they got rid of the bot accounts, dude. Elon's taking your numbies away. Reposts, you mean? And like 27 million impressions, which is numbers. He's the first person to go viral on X. I'm not. Yeah, have you gone viral on X? That isn't really, I don't care.

You've never had a Z? I haven't either, for that matter, go viral. None of my Zs go vi. Yeah, my Zs are on fire right now. That 14-minute stretch I had yesterday was just like crazy. Isn't it exhilarating? Well, I told you guys before I recorded that my phone is at 3% battery when I was actually tweeting.

And so I had to go plug it in. So I didn't really get to see like the wave of stuff come in. Dave, have you gone Vi? Just curious. Yeah. Yeah? Mainly, there's been...

I've had a few golf tweets go off. Okay. Yeah. I want to give a special shout out to someone who I think really got the ball rolling for me. Pete Blackburn. He's in the Watch Network.

He's one of the brunch boys. He gave me the first retweet, and I think that really kind of helped me out. It lobbed me into the Thunderdome. He is quite the following. Where were you guys? Do you guys always remember where you were when things like this happened? Where were you guys when you found out Taylor Switch was attending the Chiefs game with our boy Travis Kelsey? I think I was in my living room.

Very cool. Just scrolling the TL. I was watching a game on my laptop because my son was watching something on the big TV. Dude, on your Surface Pro tablet? It was very cool. I think I was taking a trash bag full of very dirty paper towels out because I've been cleaning up diarrhea all day. Yeah. This is a very public display from one Taylor Swift here.

I am really surprised that she went to the game. Things escalated so quickly that it caught me off guard. I was like, man, this is a big deal that she's going to this game so fast after all this booty chatter. And sat with his mother? Okay. So she's really friendly with Mrs. Kelsey.

Dropped an F-bomb in front of her. Yeah, I saw that. Is that going to hurt her image? Nah, she's fine. She's a grown woman. You think Taylor's going to get through this nightmare of PR, of her saying the F-word at a football game? No, I'm just...

I don't know, man. Publicly, it doesn't matter to me. I'm saying in front of the dude's mother. That means you're chilling. Yeah, right? That means you're chilling. You guys are close already. Yeah.

Like I don't even know if I talk to like any mothers like this. She was having a blast. Like they're just how you're vibing. Someone – I saw a tweet yesterday that said something about like she's got two sons in the NFL and one of them bagged Taylor Swift. Like you have to be the most proud mother of all time. Like this is the most American mother thing you could possibly have. Two Super Bowl rings and lockdown Taylor Swift, at least for a little bit.

Pretty good. Did you guys ever have any big high school sports moments where you knew the girl you were crushing on saw it and you were like, oh yeah, dude. I'm cooking right now. No. No. My high school girlfriend never came out to the golf tournaments. Dude, that's messed up, dude.

Yeah. She didn't want to drive out to Riverside and watch me shoot 84. I'm sorry, man. Dude, if I had anyone that wanted to go – I think my parents said we'd like to come watch one of your golf tournaments, and I was like, absolutely not. Really? Dude, there's no way. No spect spectators no one's parents went out and watched

us play that's weird isn't it no district district like if i had a kid who played golf and i i would want to go watch him play yeah i get no i i get that my parents wanted to go watch me but like i didn't want them there yeah it's not much of a spectator sport at that level i guess right even even college you see it on tv they're are like 14 people following the groups around. Did you see Charlie Woods won a tournament and the cat was on the bag? Yeah. Is that really fair for the other kids? Like, you'd be shitting.

I'd be shitting my pants if Tiger Woods was on the tee with me at a junior tournament. You just absolutely skull one over a green. You're like, fuck, did he see it? Clearly he saw it. He's right there. When you want to be like, dude, can you give me like one tip tiger woods hey i'm taking divots is that good or bad is he actually carrying the bag i don't know that he's got the leg thing no i don't i don't think he can i don't think surely not dude yeah i'm always carrying the bag i'm always chasing it yeah really

when i carry it i'm still chasing it i I'm never satisfied. I'm chasing the next one while I'm carrying the current one. I'm fucking Steve Earle with it. Never satisfied. Sorry. Steve Earle. Randy, is it nice knowing that the terrible play of the Bears is getting overlooked by Taylor Swift attending this game? I wouldn't know. Like I said, I'm famously on football.

I told Dave on Too Much Dip, I don't think they'll win a single game, and it's looking that way. Damn, I'm sorry, Randy. Not with that attitude. I'm really sorry, man. It's really fun to have your team not win any games. And also get raided by the FBI or something like that.

I don't know. Yeah, it did happen. Maybe. We don't really know. Like the Federal Bureau of Investigations or the female body inspectors. Yeah, they came and raided. Do you guys have any female presence on the team?

I don't think so. That investigation might not yield much. They got rid of the Sugar Bears, famously, which Sugar Bear will be on Golden Bachelor. Is that the cheerleaders? We should say right now, this is a good opportunity. Thank you for bringing up Golden Bachelor. Golden Bachelor debuts on Wednesday night, I believe.

Am I incorrect in this? Could I be wrong about this and it actually is tonight? Can someone look this up? You could possibly be wrong. We're going to do a one-off episode on the Golden Bachelor, recapping this episode. I'm not saying we're doing this for every episode because I don't think we have that in us at this point

because The Bachelor famously sucks. We got to meet these babes, though. First one is a big one. We're going to be watching episode one of The Golden Bachelor and there will be a Coffee Friday releasing later this week. I'm seeing thursday nine yeah the 28th is what i'm seeing oh no oh no is that gonna be a problem no we'll figure it out fresh we'll figure it out not worried about it but yeah keep an eye out for that shout out to the golden bachelor and jerry that's his name jerry jerry

yeah jerry i don't like how he spells that i don't either you're just asking for someone to call you gary and then you have to correct them and make them feel stupid thursday's kind of a big day sorry what else got other stuff going on oh oh at the company yeah yeah we got big shit popping dude yeah yeah it's it's look exciting times at wash media david yeah do you think travis kelsey's scared right now of just like like the big stage like he's yeah he he's officially in the narrative he's in the great game like any any bad thing that happens now is going to be so amplified that like whether it's a breakup with her or something he did in his past,

like he's on, he's on thin ice right now. And I'm scared. I'm a little scared for that. No, this brand wise, not much can go wrong for him right now. Like even if,

if you don't have an ugly breakup and she makes a song about it, like that's good for his brand. You know what I mean? He's, he's doing great. He is doing great. He is doing great. He's in a prime position. See, I was very against this when it first started for no reason other than I wasn't

totally familiar with Travis Kelsey's game. I think I associated him with like Pat McAfee for some reason. No. And like that was an unjust association for me. And now that I've taken a step back and I've really thought about it and I'm pro Kelsey, like I am into this. He's a unique character. Yeah.

What do you think of his fit yesterday? If you're rolling out with the hottest pop star in the game right now, are you going blue and white? Can I get some context on the outfit? Because it was apparently, what's the 1989 connection? Did you see this? No. Okay.

Look up – get on Twitter and type in 1989 like Kelsey outfit or something. And it's like an homage to her album, I think, or something like that. Oh, okay. So this says, Travis Kelsey was stepping out of the Chiefs game with Taylor Swift in an outfit that's named after one of her biggest albums, but here's the thing. The duds were renamed after he bought it. He was rocking a 1989 bedroom painting denim jacket and pants as he left the stadium.

Kid Super, the company that makes the threads, revealed a bit of sneaky marketing after the game telling folks on X, which I think we know is Twitter, that it was originally called Bedroom Painting, but the album title was slapped on after Travis was spotted wearing it. Oh, so after the fact.

That's a good idea from them. Shout out to Kid Super. That's really smart. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. Okay. That's interesting.

I mean, this isn't something I would wear. He seems way too edgy for her, because she's not. she's a dork and i mean that in a nice way right you guys have you seen valentine's day the movie no her performance in that movie would will make you feel like you could approach her in public and not be intimidated because she's so bad in that movie yeah she's he's kind of dated edgy yeah matt healy's a different kind of edgy. Yeah.

Also, I mean, just like, what's he thinking right now? I can't even imagine enjoying a goon sesh with Matt Healy. No. But Travis Kelsey, I could absolutely goon with him. Yeah. Maybe that's what Taylor sees in him. Maybe she just wants to goon with him. Are we going to get like the,

like we're never going to see them together again. It's going to be like, oh, we gonna get like the like we're never gonna see them together again it's like oh taylor's just having fun they're just hanging out like that's her pr they just hung out one time nothing crazy yeah i don't know because they had to capitalize on actually they didn't he's his uh place in football is is solidified it's like the best tight end ever and she's the biggest uh megastar on the planet wild how famous she is that this like all this publicity just from like being connected to somebody like she didn't have to go to this game and do this like this is something like you do if you're i don't want to throw anybody under the bus but you know you're trying to revive the career a

little bit saw this discussion on barstool but they were saying that she's the most famous person in the world currently. And there's a little argument over whether or not that was true. More so than, oh, I don't know. Orange Man? Vladimir Putin. Donald Trump, the Orange Man. I would say Trump is more famous currently than Putin is.

But I'm American, so maybe that's not true. Maybe it's globally I'm wrong. She's up there, though. I think there's a definite case of her being the most famous person in the world. She's selling out massive arenas in every country she goes to. She's just trans, she's gone above and beyond like American pop culture.

I don't know. I don't have a concept for that. She's on the list. Like there's certain artists that are like huge overseas that like I'm surprised when I hear it. And I'm like, overseas that like i like that i'm surprised when i hear it and i'm like oh they're not that big over here messy is up there yeah oh yeah that's yeah that's a good point that's a good point that's a good point yeah messy's probably the most famous what about michael bud light's ultimate tailgater it's a good one around

these parts for sure more regional yeah yeah can you imagine if we got him in the stew could happen just goon sesh just absolute goon sesh with a bunch of Miller highlights. A little rowdiness. We could put some limes in a highlight for him. I think he'd enjoy that. And a lot of rowdiness. I hope she's at the next game.

I enjoyed the media circus around this last night. It made the Sunday a little more fun. It probably, it also helped that I had tweets going off at the same time. We lived through the uh jessica simpson tony romo era we did live through it when is this the closest thing we've had to it

this surpasses thing yeah oh yeah from which is a hype standpoint well and also like what about like kornikova and sergey fedorov you know globally that was probably a very big deal and she had a moment didn't she both russian right he's definitely russian she's russian right i don't know yeah i think she might be hard to say that's a russia um yeah i remember that they i don't remember the circumstances but they started losing games and of course the fan base quickly turned on jessica simpson which that i don't think that will i can't speak for the chiefs uh fandom but like they've already accomplished a lot in the last uh four or five years whereas like those cowboys teams were like hadn't uh so that was a little bit

different and plus the cowboys fan base is just much larger than the Chiefs fan base. No offense. That's facts. It is. I'm not saying it's better. It's just a... Wow, dude.

We got a bigger fan base. Wow. The Taylor Swift fan base is much... Dave's asking the questions. Who's got the better fan base? Not better. The Swift fan base is much more... Dave's saying that they have a better fan base.

Dude, if I'm a Chiefs fan right now, I am angry tweeting Dave. Oh, no. Who's the Chiefs guy? Who's Chiefs man that's in jail? Oh, the guy who wore the mask? I saw somebody saying a number of tweets. You never know who had the original tweet.

People are stealing Will's tweets. You can steal it. The Swifties are going to bust the Chiefsaholic out of jail. Is that the Chiefsaholic? He's in jail for, what'd he do? Armed robbery, right? He stole some money. jail is that the chiefs a holic he's in jail for uh what'd he do armed robbery right he stole a bunch he stole some money y'all see all the swifties yesterday explaining football on the timeline is that real i don't know i don't know but if it was real i really enjoy it i like i

really like the idea of some people that don't care about football at all just being like all right taylor swift's in a game let's learn let's do it like worlds are colliding it's great it's great it makes me happy dude and now that we know we have like a we have somebody who has a i don't know like one degree away from uh the bell dozer blake bell and this is big okay sure dude i heard swifties were signing up for prize picks at a rapid clip you think so i don't know do you they're so into the chiefs and travis kelsey that they're gonna start doing just put little get their beaks a little wet they want to get their beaks a little wet of course you're referencing prize picks the largest independently owned daily fantasy sports platform in north america right i am yeah that sounds accurate we are the easiest they are the

easiest and most exciting way to play uh daily fantasy sports i'm gonna call it dfs that's how much i like it daily fantasy yes it works huh i approve okay it's just you against the numbers instead of battling thousands of other players including pros and sharks you never want to battle the pros or the sharks you pick more than or less than on a two to six player stat projection and watch the winnings roll in. You got a question, Dylan? I was going to say one of the great things about doing the DFS, as Dave just said, is that if you have like a standard fantasy team and let's say, I don't know, you had Nick Chubb. And your season maybe gets kind of tanked early on weeks one two three four somewhere in there and you're like i'm kind of over it this is very different you can play week

to week so you can say like saquon barkley for more than 60 yards and patrick mahomes for more than two passing touchdowns and that entry alone boom you got some skin in the game it's a good point well yes that's what i'm saying. Price picks is really simple. I can make my picks and submit my entry in less than 60 seconds. That's nice. That's very nice. Price picks is the most fun I've had winning up to 25 times my money. This football season, you just select two or more players, pick more or less on their projected stats, and place your entry.

Sneaky good pick up yesterday, Jick mckinnon um see that couple tuds touchdown dude i love a tutty you know what you always say you're always like tutties you know your boy started raheem mostard really oh yeah uh-huh yeah how'd that work out for you pretty good very well go to prizepicks.com slash steam and use code steam for a first deposit match up to $100. Again, prizepix.com slash steam and use code steam for a first deposit match up to $100. Check it out. Prize Picks. Hey, you guys tired of seeing Kevin James yet?

Can I be honest with you for a sec yeah no i'm not at all okay here this is the most i've seen a photo on my timeline maybe ever like i i don't think i've seen a meme just get served to me this many times which i also think is a twitter issue have you guys noticed twitter's just serving you stuff that you interact with once like immediately after which i think is why all I'm seeing is Kevin James memes. I have to say that I might have to scale back some stuff that I might have said a couple months ago. Are you guys tired of this? I actually think that Twitter slash X has been better lately.

Okay. Like I think the user experience for me has been higher. Now that you mention it, I've seen much less gore on my timeline. I think the algorithm is actually settling in a little nicely, and Elon might actually have something here. So I'm just putting that out there. But Dylan, please speak to our friend Kevin James. Okay.

I understand that this might be already wearing thin on some people. However, I can can't the picture is perfect the way he's shrugging and the smirk and he's got his head out it's just man it's it's great it's it's so good that i didn't i didn't attempt to make one of these jokes because i didn't i didn't want to miss so there's so many really really good ones on the tl right now i love i love all of them because his face is so perfect for the meme something that makes me happy is that um former uh co-worker friend of the pod t-man uh his favorite show is king of queens yeah and anytime you can see king of queens getting some love on the timeline i think that's a good thing

for everybody you know yeah i went to his timeline he's only got two tweets on here which i mean if he's such a king of queens guy i'm surprised he doesn't have more i got i got to a point yesterday where i was just scrolling real fast until i saw the it's easy to identify right i would stop at the picture to read it like all right it's funny go the next one read it go the next one and i laughed at all of them you guys i think might disagree and that's fine i don't disagree at all i don't disagree at all i i truly have liked it i worry that other people might be getting tired of it but like i legitimately think it's one of the more entertaining memes meme formats in a long time um i spent way too much time trying to think of a zen angle just because i wanted to get a zen angle in there but here's a good one did you see the uh there was a a dac one going around um it was like all you have to do is not throw an interception in the red zone

right now and it's just like dac and it's just him yeah yeah topical why did this go viral where did this start i don't know did it did it start did it have any like did it have anything to do with anything or is this just a photo that just decided to get like popular i think it helps that the photo that people are using is just the Getty image. It's one that features. It's letting you know that they own that copyright. I like how it has the Getty images watermark on there. Have you guys heard that Kevin James might be an asshole off the camera?

I've heard he's an all-time mean celebrity. Did you see Paul Blart Mall Cop? I did not see Paul Blart Mall Cop. I didn't either. Yeah, I decided to skip that one. I think it stunk. I did not see it, Dylan. I did not approve of its liberal agenda.

Okay. What kind of ideals were they talking about in Mall Cop? They were talking about defunding mall police. I am not in favor of defunding mall police. Me neither. Have you ever seen a mall that has no police force? It's reckless. We need more mall cops on segues.

I feel like that's not... You used to see those all the time. It's just kind of funny because it's like, oh, there's this person with authority rolling around in a Segway. Oh, no, what are you going to do? Little helmets on. Are you going to chase me on it? You're going to be like, at what point do you bounce off of that thing and run toward me? It's hard to take a cop seriously that has a helmet on.

Yeah, that's a great point. What's the, like, what's like a situation where like the security people at like a grocery store get used? Parking lot, like car break-ins. Central Market has like – they have to have. Dude, they have like a significant amount of security in the parking lot where I'm like, is something going on here that I need to know about? Yeah. I'm glad they're there.

I don't want it i don't want like a robot rolling around the parking lot like patrolling shit what if it's the fox the nfl robot back in the day that dude's you do not fucking steal shit if that dude's a figure he just starts break dancing have you seen the new new york robots is that what you're referring to no new york has robot cops that they're going to be starting to you know unleash i'll find a picture can you imagine getting arrested by a robot remember robocop the movie what the fuck yeah what murders what murders wait the cops t the robots how can there be a robot cop i don't get it like what you've seen the movie you've seen robocop okay you just you just brought up like uh like that

movie's old right but think about this for years i don't think that's what's going on here i used to have a robocop figurine how does it how does a robot know like what's against the law like what you know like ethics yeah like these things got to just be like scoping out like illegal parking and shit right why don't they train these things to put carts back in the parking lots like that'd be better do they have a license to kill i don't think they do so from what i saw i'll be on duty with a human cop and you're just going to patrol like the subway and stuff and i'll have 360 cameras so it could just pretty much just catch people doing shit oh cool hey cool dude i was really hoping to be surveyed everywhere i go it works alongside an actual human cop yeah that's much of an how much of an npc do you have to feel like being the cop that's just following around this

like hub of wires is this thing strapped though yeah can this thing light up the block we're gonna pull a toolie out on you i'm not sure yeah i need to know okay will this thing know if you're not the soccer player you're claiming to be there's an episode of uh mickey mouse clubhouse where goofy uh gets a goof bot it's called goof bot and uh it's like a better version of goofy you know meaning it's not a complete dipshit and uh goofy gets sad because it's like everybody loves this goofball and then somebody presses like the wrong button or something and it just it goes crazy in short circuits

it really doesn't relate to this other than the robot angle i just i just had to put that out there no i think that was valuable i'm glad i know that now yeah yeah check it out shut out disney plus i always thought it was really weird how steve urkel could just get in that machine in the backyard and turn into steve urkel he was smooth stefan or cal yeah stefan like that's a crazy thing like that's crazy he was a smooth dog why would you ever get back in there and turn back into steve why wouldn't you just always be stefan or cal because steve is who he really was do you think do you think steve like knew i mean steve definitely knew that chicks liked Stefan more. What if all that thing was that he just went in there and did ayahuasca and came out just as...

I think Steve Urkel could have benefited from a little ayahuasca. Just a total pimp. But I don't think Carl would have stood for illegal drug use in his backyard. No, he's a stickler. Mm-hmm. I've always said family matters. that's the name of the show is it i messed it up on a recent episode yeah you did i got roasted and i i deserved it i did think that you got it wrong but i didn't i wasn't confident enough to speak up on i knew that was one of those situations where like i thought i might have been wrong but i wasn't confident enough to bring it

up and i knew that you guys weren't confident enough. So I just kind of rolled with it. Full disclosure, that happened during the Taylor Swift, Travis Kelsey segment. You mentioned two rings between the Kelsey brothers, and I wasn't quite sure. Kelsey has two. Travis has two. Yeah. Jason doesn't have any. He doesn't?

No. Okay. I wasn't sure. When would he have gotten one? Was he not on the Nick Folk Eagles? Oh, maybe he was. Good question, Dave. He's a Super Bowl champion.

He won Super Bowl LII. I was there. Okay, there we go. Yeah, I wasn't confident with that take. I was just like, huh? Okay, three rings. Bird of God? Bird of God?

Yeah, Mama Kelsey eating good lately. Eating good. That's a proud mama, huh? Yeah, yeah. Can we talk about Popeyes real quick? Popeyes has turned up on the TL today for some unfortunate news. Anytime a Popeyes doesn't get opened, I think, is a time where we all need to rethink what's going on here. But it looks like Chris Brown was loaned $2 million to open up two Popeyes locations, and he never did it.

Is that all it takes to open up two Popeyes locations? I don't know. $2 million? I would like to know what it takes to open a Popeyes location. Because like low key, like what if we got a loan out and just open one close to us so we could always have Popeyes? Put it in the pitch deck, Brett. Wash media. Not only do we do the podcast stuff, but we own a Popeyes.

I don't think it's the worst investment. Have you ever, like, I don't think, I've never seen a Popeyes get torn down. I have. Oh. I have. I think Chick-fil-A is a better play. I've never seen a Chick-fil-A fail. I had hot chicken this weekend. Yeah, I ate meat this weekend. Wow. I regretted it. What did you go with? I went tumble 22, hot chicken. I didn't go super hot because I was already worried about

the meat messing my stomach up. And so I wish I would have just gone to Popeye's instead, if I'm being honest. I wish I would have just gone and gotten some spicy strips. I haven't done Popeye's in a long time. The tumble chicken sandwich is phenomenal. It's really good. Tumble 22 is an underrated Austin restaurant. It just opened up in Houston. This is a free publicity.

If you all had $2 million to play with, but you had to open up two chain restaurants, what are you going to open up? I had a buddy whose dad was considering opening an Outback Steakhouse at one point. And the excitement that coursed through my veins when I heard that we might have VIP access to an Outback Steakhouse in high school was unlike any feeling I've ever had. And that never came to fruition. Was he going to hire you to play the didgeridoo? He was going to hire me. I was just going to be the Bloomin' Onion guy.

Okay. I was the one who made him bloom. Isn't it crazy inexpensive to start a Chick-fil-A franchise? I think it's like – isn't it like – yeah, but you don't own it. The vetting process is extreme though, I think. Probably. Probably. Doesn't shock me.

They need receipts that you went to church last Sunday. Yeah. You got to be in church every Sunday. Yeah. They're going to check your Twitter. You're going to be tithing every week. That could be a good career for me to pursue because if you can't open up Chick-fil-A on Sunday, that still gives me time to do scaries. This isn't helpful.

There you go. Opening a Chick-fil-A on Sunday, that still gives me time to do Scaries. This isn't helpful. There you go. Opening a Chick-fil-A franchise costs between $342,000 and $1.9 million. Okay. Including a $10,000 franchise fee. Okay. It's not what I heard originally, so I was off. Chick-fil-A covers, unlike many, all opening expenses, meaning franchisees are only on the hook for that. Or on the hook only for that $10,000.

Interesting. Yeah, that's what I heard. So I was kind of right then. You could open a Spite Subway. Put yourself on the schedule constantly. Ooh, there you go. Leave her off the schedule. You should offer her like a really good job and hire her and then leave her off the schedule.

Have you hit her up on LinkedIn lately? I don't know if they're still... I don't know if they're still around. They tore down your old subway? You gotta go see it. I could do like in Coming to America where there's a McDowell's. Instead of McDonald's, I'd open like Chubway or something. That's a good movie.

Yeah. I think I'm going to go Taco Bell. You don't want to do Taco Bell. Taco Bell? I think I'm going to do Taco Bell. Randy's been eating a lot of Taco Bell lately, and it's really made me want to get some Taco Bell. Best tacos in Austin.

That is a take that I like. Oh, okay. That's a good take. That's a good take. What a good take what kind of tacos you get from taco bell lately usually the soft shell those are the best i just want free access to those packets you know you could just go buy a taco and that's for a bunch of them i could probably just walk right in and grab some and walk out i don't think they'd stop no they they give those away quite frequently it's just like oh here's 38 fire sauces fire is the best

one yeah you gotta go fire it's not even that hot it's not but it tastes damn good it's fucking good see now you want taco bell maybe suddenly chick-fil-a though they crush have you ever seen chick-fil-a that's not just always busy around lunchtime no no that's why i don't go there i know i always know it's gonna be a line i only go there in off hours i respect their efficiency they kill it. Are you on Chick-fil-A? Yeah. You just want to take off Sunday so you can watch football.

Plus, it's good, man. It is good. It's got good chicken. It is good. It's chicken. What are you going with? I don't know. I'm always up for a challenge.

So I might do something I've never really done like a hardy's they have bought they had a ball pit growing up at our hardy's did all hardys have ball pits growing up if you want a challenge you should open a hardy's at the bottom of an apartment complex oh the car is just completely stacked against you can we can i choose a can i choose like a fast casual restaurant instead yeah if it's a chain can i do like rainforest cafe that's cheating can i holler at a hard rock cafe yeah davey has we've got a similarly similarly named uh parody restaurant of that coming out um it's a little bit more risque so i don't know i don't want to be like competing with you oh we can't reveal that yet though that's's the Dick's Saloon version of the Hard Rock Cafe?

Yeah. Yeah. I see what you're doing. Well, yeah. We've been spending a lot of time planning this restaurant out. It's not the Hard Dock Cafe. Although we did...

No, that's the Wilmonds' leg of it. Third leg of it. Hardest dock in town. Our dock doesn't float away. It stays right here. Nope. Once you dock, you cannot stop. Dave, I feel like there's a second meaning to that.

That's a double entendre. I don't know what that word means. I don't either. I don't think I do either. Yeah, I would probably do Burger King just because it seems like They're doing more bits these days They've got the hardest Commercial jingle in the game right now When's the last time you went to a Burger King?

Nah, it's been like eight years I haven't been in forever I think the last time I went to one I got chicken fries You know I like the chicken fries I knew you were going to do that That song stinks Diet Coke on a Friday night That song stinks A pair of pants a Friday night. That song stinks.

A pair of pants that are real cool. It doesn't stink. It stinks. It has its moments. It doesn't. It has its time. It's too corny.

See the love in my woman's eyes. It's an appropriately corny, popular country song. It's necessary. No, it's not. Yes, we need the corny ones. It's a good song. Randy, stop, dude.

Dude, anyone that collabs with Jimmy buffett's okay in my book there's been so many people have collabed with him like he was over collab you've never collabed with jimmy buffett i i you know i've never actually made any music except for you know the beautiful voice that i share over this mic sometimes yeah i guess and a little bit of chicken fries you guys are missing on layup here and that is two firehouse subs oh good one randy topical that's good randy it's not really topical topical morning till you i'm gonna start talking like a peaky blinder now that i'm just so in on the show

i might re-watch it are you guys anti me getting a newsboy cap? No. Dude, you totally should. I can see you doing that and not even being a bit. Put a razor in it? Don't put a razor in it. I might start a different one. I might do a beret.

And I might put a Motorola razor in that. Raspberry beret. Was he talking about a beret that was the color raspberry? Or did this beret look like a raspberry? I think it was made of raspberries. That is something I hadn't considered. Does anyone pronounce the P in that word? No.

So sixth grade, we had the spelling bee. I just push it, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's good. Sixth grade, we had a spelling bee. And it was the class level spelling bee.

And the person next to me right here got the word raspberry. And spelled it wrong went around the entire class and it got back to me i got it right i eliminated the entire class in one false swoop that's gangster it was so nice it was like it took all the prep like knowing that i knew how to spell it and seeing the last kid get it wrong i was so happy but that p does not belong in that word the amount of kids that spelled it the exact same way as the kid before them, I was like, you guys are legitimately stupid. Like, you need to not spell it the same way as the person right before you. It's a spelling bee. They weren't changing it up at all?

Then there were other kids that were just busting out wild shit being like... Well, I respect that. You got to change it up. Yeah. The only reason I knew is because my mom was a big raspberry person back in the day. That's one of the few foods my son's guaranteed to eat. Bring him raspberry. He's not sending those back.

I love it. Berries are good. I'm afraid he's going to eat so much he's just going to turn into one. Float away. Timothy Chalamet has to fish him out of the moat. Dylan. He's doing Willy Wonka. Right. In the chocolate factory yeah

yeah you're familiar you're familiar you're also familiar Charlie slept in a big bed with his entire family a little weird it's not weird

no it's cool family's important that movie didn't do much for the UK like it didn't make you want to move over there no for the longest time

When I first saw this tweet format going out about people talking about the Roman Empire, I searched it on Twitter, and I still didn't understand what the point of this all was.

And I've now learned up. Okay, I'm going to need you to explain it to me. I've seen it, and I appreciate it, but I'm on the periphery. I don't exactly know how this started or what it means. I want to be in on the joke, so please share. I feel like dave thinks about the roman empire more than we do do you think about it often dave um i think about it more now that the popular meme format has uh come into our lives but i yeah a little bit um

does joe rogan talk about the roman empire because i saw some people connecting some dots here being like well joe rogan talks about it a lot, so naturally our husbands are all going to talk about it. I'm sure he has. I don't know. If there is a long-form podcast that we'll just break down, I will listen to it. I think that's our job.

Isn't that literally what we do? Yeah, but I feel like none of us are the kind of history buffs we need to be for this. I think it's just that dudes think about history all the time. But I don't have any boys that just talk about the Roman Empire all the time. I think it's just a big joke, Will. The only Roman Empire I think about is the one about the dick pills. GetRoman.com.

Not sponsored. Oh, yeah. The dick pills. If they aren't capitalizing on this then they're stupid they're not stupid but this is prime time for them yeah i will say go to rome rome is sick rome is sick like walking around you'll think about it i promise you'll think about it when you're there and you're looking at you like, whoa, this is

fucking tight. What's this? That's what I was saying. I was walking around with people. They're like, shut up. It's a very old city, David. Yeah. Coliseum.

Been around for a minute. Things of that nature. Yeah. I don't really know what's going on with this joke. It's all on TikTok. Like just people asking their husbands on TikTok, how often do you think about the Roman Empire? And the guys are like, I don't know, like once a week.

But I think all those guys are in on the bit you think they're in yeah i think they're in there just doing this for clout because guys don't actually i mean some guys do maybe but most guys don't actually think about this what's like the old man shit that you think about the most for me it's like golf golf okay here's skyscrapers how they're built dude i was gonna say i walk around i look at structures i'm like i can't believe people actually built this are you horned up for Okay, here's one. Skyscrapers, how they're built. Dude, I was going to say, I walk around, I look at structures, I'm like, I can't believe people actually built this. Are you horned up for that new crane over there?

I haven't seen it. Dude, there's a new crane over there that they put over, like that they're building a new apartment complex, and this crane is just like taken off. Close? Yes, real close. We're sending them a lot of money, Dylan. New crane.

It's good. It's good. Here we're even financing some vehicles for them. Yes. Buildings or any massive structures, crane it's good yeah it's good yeah here we're even financing some uh vehicles for them uh yes buildings or in any any massive structures i'm like i i can't believe that this all came together the way it did have you gone south on lamar way on lamar yeah i have you know that what they're building there and it's all blocked off but there's constantly cranes and stuff if you go look i have not pulled over to look come on dude pull over dude they've got like the garage they're building the garage first so they're like at a tunnel

dig like a big subterranean watching them do that like when i'm at that red light yeah that's sick they go down pretty far ready for this oh yeah like how did they do the subway in new york like that city was already bussing and then they were like we're gonna put a subway underneath it well they got the audacity lost a ton of fucking weight turns out though not a good guy my first time in new york i was 21 and i took a subway from brooklyn to like manhattan i was like wait a minute we just went underwater yo the subway goes underwater i was so confused i think about that sometimes it's wild yeah how far down in the water is it dude i don't know the subways are wild no it's crazy to think like a whole city under a city like i feel like if something goes wrong during the construction of that subway like an entire block is just going to collapse or if you spray it

didn't even think about that yeah didn't even think about that subways are wild man dave yeah no can confirm i think you should become one of those italian guys that just watches construction yeah could you become why don't you just bring that to the united united states that shit blows my mind though we should get a squad together we should get just like a squad together to go watch construction in austin every once in a while a lot of dudes like to bird watch who says no meet up every thursday morning harbs will be there okay i don't know if he respects it i don't know if he respects you respect construction there's a house that started getting built when

i moved into our place and it's on my commute and they finally put it they're like finally putting the finishing touches on this house and it's been so heartwarming to see this house being built and just see see it go from just like nothing to a beautiful home beautiful isn't it yeah yeah i'm like i'm like really psyched to see them moving in and stuff did you see they have added picnic tables picnic tables what let's fucking go i'm gonna need to see some trailers it looks like it's gonna be maybe two at the most i think we need to go over there probably be next time we see people the most. I think we need to go over there. It'll probably be one. Next time we see people working over there, I think we need to go over and be like,

tell us the trailer situation. What food trailers are we getting with this walking distance? It's killing me. I've got to know. What's your top draft pick for a food trailer that goes in and across the way? Top draft pick.

That's what you want. Oh, God. Like a Verts style. You want some Mediterranean. I want some Mediterranean. Your boy loves Verts. It's protein. It'sz. It's protein. It's healthy.

It's veggies. It's, yeah. Okay. Yeah. I feel like Mediterranean food trucks are really having a moment in Austin. We have one right down the road. Ziki. It's quite good.

I've tried it. Yeah. I don't like the ordering system there. That's why I don't go. You can order online. I don't, I also hate their branding. Okay. Fuck.

It's true. You just put them out of business like that small business september it's weird it's too loud calm down i hope they put in like three i hope it's like a vegan food truck uh thing and it's all vegan stuff it's not it's not gonna be dude i hope it's all that would be terrible oh it's all vegan if it's all vegan i'm i'm calling the health inspector and i'm setting them up i'm gonna like put a bunch of raw chicken on the ground what the fuck that's so fucked up don't do that give me the meats dude let's approach these food trucks like day one and just be like do you guys want us to like talk about you on our

podcast we can just eat here for free for a little bit like let us have it it's not bad go in and say like hey this is this is our neighborhood you want to earn here we need some points we need some kickback i think our to get our feet wet. Dave's on his wire shit right now. I think it might be a little suspicious. There's a bunch of raw chicken at a vegan food truck. Exactly. That's the whole point, Randy.

What's going on here? Or do you want to throw some rotten eggplant all over the ground or something to make it more believable? Eggplant? He's trying to do something. Let him cook. I'm trying to cook so they can't. What's your top draft pick for Across the Way, Randy?

I'm feeling like some Caribbean jerk. Probably like a snow cone place. If it's a Caribbean place, I will go back to eating meat. What if it's the congee and all they do is the chicken? The jerk chicken. The congee salad. They could easily open up a food truck that only did the jerk chicken

and they could make an absolute killing. i would eat there three times a week it would be bad dude it would be an issue would it ruin the experience of slugging back uh red stripes in the restaurant probably you know too much of a good thing just jerking all day just eating that hot chicken you started making jokes like that it's time to sign off what do you how do you know like you don't like his jokes you never had it i like that it's time to sign off what do you how do you know like you don't like his jokes you never had it i have had it jerk chicken it's really good for me i love that place why did you sit on your hand before taking bites of it my arm fell asleep last night i'm asleep dude i woke up this morning my my entire arm was asleep you get up and take advantage

no i like it was like rolling around. It's just like... Did you do this move? I got like... Yes, dude. I'm like... Dude, no matter how many times it happens, you're always like, what if it never comes back?
