Didn't get it off your chest. We need the listeners, the backers. We need everyone to help us out. If you go to the description of this episode, you will find a link to a survey. It's washedmedia.com slash survey. Okay? Again, that's washedmedia.com slash survey. It's 35 questions.

They're really easy to answer, but it would help us greatly if you answer these questions yeah when you address the importance of this it really will help us out a lot to get an idea of who you guys are our demographic your interests all that stuff companies you like companies you don't like yes it will help us a lot yes please please please do it. It won't take you very long. No. It took me about five minutes to actually create the survey. So it'll take you much less

to actually do it. Of course it's anonymous too. You don't have to give your information or anything like that. There's literally nowhere in here that asks for any personal information outside of like your age, your gender,

that kind of stuff. What I'm saying is it's not attached to any name. Nope. It's just give us who you are. If you want to drop your ad, your gender, that kind of stuff. What I'm saying is it's not attached to any name. Nope. It's just give us who you are. If you want to drop your at, like you can. You know what, dude? I'm going to stop beating around the bush here, okay?

Whoa. Would you just chill the fuck out for a second? I didn't realize you were beating around the bush before. Here's the deal. Yeah. You send me a snap or send me a photo, a screenshot shot or screen chat. No, don't send me a screen chat. Show me that you did this survey.

I'll respond with a personalized video message. Dave, you might get a lot of these. I don't know if you want to do this, Dave. We need people to do this goddamn survey. Dave, I would slow down. You think it's going to be that many people? You might have to record a couple hundred videos. Have you guys gone through the survey yourself?

Have you guys gone through every answer yourself? Have you guys gone through every answer yourself? No, not yet. I just put a little one. I put a little entertaining answer in there for the boys. What is it? It's just how often do you work out? Never, once per week, multiple times per week, or I live in the gym. Oh, yeah, I saw that.

It's humorous. That's what Dan would choose. That's a humorous thing to put. I thought about putting the last question as, do you identify as more of a Dylan, a Dave, or a Will? Okay. But we need to keep this. This is important. We can't just be getting bits off. This isn't all about jokes. Alright, I'm going to amend my statement. This is an amendment

to the original. I encourage you to do so. I will respond, but it may be via text. Not text message, but a text response. I'm not going to text you you don't get the digis I will say this if you go do this

please do not share the link on social media or like reddit or anything like that just fill it out yourself we want the most accurate information possible yeah this is big for us and thank you in advance i love thanking people in advance you do a lot of that dylan uh not not traditionally no

what huh what's going on nothing dave's being can i put somebody on blast oh god this isn't a steam room i just want to put i want to put one of my friends our friends can we do one more one more thing? Yeah, honestly, because I may change my mind about this. No, no, do it. Actually, no, go ahead, Dave. Dude, fire. Hey, man. You got to fire.

Hey, hashtag Chad. We get it. You're on the dopest trip of all fucking time. Dude, we get it, dude. You're in Ireland. Like, come on. Every time I log on to Instagram, he's put up what is just the best. It's like every photo he puts up

is better than the prior yeah imagine going on a trip where you just play the dopest golf courses in Ireland and just video

the whole thing every day and oh by the way you don't have to you don't have to pay for this trip actually we're gonna we're gonna pay you

because it's part of your job oh my god hashtag Chad I'm out on you you're cancelled everybody at NLU good dudes yeah must be nice this Oh, my God. Hashtag Chad. I'm out on you. You're canceled. Everybody at NLU. Good dudes. Yeah, it must be nice.

Look, if you don't know what we're talking about, our friends at No Laying Up, it's a really good golf podcast. Go check it out. But they've got really good social and video, and they're in Ireland right now. And I think they're going to every course ever made in Ireland. They're doing a tour to Ireland. But let's exercise a little self-awareness right now. And I think they're going to like every course ever made in Ireland. Like they're, they're just, they're doing a tour to Ireland, but let's exercise a little self-awareness right now.

We've gotten to do some really cool things ourselves. Absolutely. One cool thing that we didn't have to pay for. Will and I went to TGI Fridays in Corpus Christi. We went to the players. That's a true story. And I also got to go to the world bartending champions championships sponsored by TGI. We went to the players championship.

I know. Yeah, that was cool. That's cool. I got to go to the Superbowl. I know y'all didn't. And the masters. I got to go to the Super Bowl. I know y'all didn't. And the Masters. I got to go to the Masters. I didn't want to bring that up. Like we said, we got to go to TGI Fridays events.

You got to go to the Super Bowl. You got to go to the Players, dog. And you got to go to J-Hole. Some people say that TGI Fridays is the Super Bowl of mid-American cuisine. Mr. J-Hole over here. Oh, you did go to J-Hole. You did go to J-Hole. You did go to J-Hole.

Look, I'm... I was just going to say this while I'm dabbing right now. Will's dabbing right now. We're obviously kidding. I just wanted to use this as a way to gas up those guys for this trip

because it is absolutely dope and I'm enjoying all the freaking content. The reason I mentioned that, I didn't want, you know, a guy, a corporate guy in a cube

sitting here listening to us talk like bitching about that. We do cool stuff. If they hear that and they don't understand that it's tongue in cheek and we're not aware of that, then they don't know us very well.

They do, but still. We should get a... Have you guys ever watched New Girl? No. It's just okay. They have a douchebag jar. You say something douchey, you put a dollar in the jar.

We could probably use one on this podcast to keep us in check. It would fill up fast. We could pay for shit. You want to get intern Forbes to just sit here and call us out

every time we do something? Yeah, so we have him just track the douchey things we say and just report at the end of the month like, hey guys. What would it look like if an 18-year-old college kid at the University of Texas

tracked the douchey things we said? Would that look different than if, say, my wife tracked it or Sally? He's got a different standard of doucheyness for sure. Yeah, you think he would

let more things slide? I said something douchey that got actually, this is a good segue, it got brought up on the Reddit recently. You say a lot of things that you brought up on Reddit.

That I don't get as starstruck because of Colton, because we met Colton and Chris Harrison. Yeah. That was admittedly douchey but at the same time it was kind of taken

out of context. But, well, that's sad. Well, Chris Harrison is a bonaafide superstar yeah like that's a famous dude yeah

dude Chris Harrison is tight yeah he is tight I do want to talk about the Reddit real quick though that's what I was going to talk about first and these people aren't aren't you know remembering the fact

that me and Will we met the CEO of TGI Fridays we did he's not there anymore he had a short stint short stint. Short stint,

but we met him there at the grand opening of the brand new Fridays in Corpus Christi, Texas. What was his name? Chip? It was like Cody, wasn't it? No, I think it was Chip. It was Chip.

Yeah, his candle burned out long before his legend ever willed out. Didn't really work out, but I'm sure he got the TGI Fridays golden parachute. But anytime you can put on your LinkedIn that you were the CEO of TGI Friday, people are going to scroll and see that

and be like, yeah, wow. This dude really turned a lot of heads during his time at Friday's. Guys, we have a Reddit announcement to make. It's been talked about that our subreddit needs to be more active. I actually don't have an issue with the activity. I think it's pretty popping off.

Well, considering we don't do anything to facilitate it, yeah. You probably want the action to slow down. No, I kind of like it. They come for your neck a lot. I kind of like it. I know. I did delete the app, like I said, though. We're going to do an AMA.

For those of you out there who aren't familiar, AMA stands for Ask Me Anything. Anything. Yeah. I thought we were just going to hand out American Music Awards. We could. Does that mean we have to answer every question? No, no, no. You cherry pick the ones, and then the ones that you do,

we'll put at the top of the comments. You feel me? How do we make them go to the top? Let the admins handle that, Dylan. Okay. We got this. Slow down. That's beyond my technological comprehension.

I said that I was going to do one last week, or I said I was down to. Yeah. And then that didn't get a lot of traction. And then Kyle Bandujo commented, like, can you do it at 5.30 a.m. or 6.30 a.m.? I was like, you know, it's probably not going to happen pre-dawn. It's going to be more of like a late afternoon thing. Who's doing it this Friday? It'd just be you and Kyle just going back and forth.

Who's doing it this Friday? It can't be me. I'll be gone. I'll do it. I'll do it. We're going to do one at a time, right? So three Fridays in a row. I don't know if we can do three Fridays in a row

because the more I think about it, we kind of have a meeting that we have to be at next Friday. We do? Oh, yes, yes. We can't do next Friday. What is it? We're going to be in Houston. Yeah, we can't do next Friday. Should we do a meet-up for that Houston thing at night?

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. I don't think we have a total plan yet for our trip to Houston. Let's work it out here on the pod. I feel like this is off-mic stuff we're talking about right now real quick. Okay, okay. Why'd you bring it up? I'm just saying I could answer an AMA in the car. We're not doing an AMA in the car.

Don't mail in your AMA, dude. Come on. We know how you get nauseous. I would never mail in an AMA. Dave, I don't get emotions. Either way, this Friday, we'll make an announcement on the subreddit. It's reddit.com slash circlingbackpodcast.

If you haven't subscribed already, go subscribe. It's actually got a pretty good subscriber base. It sure does. Damn sure does. Well, that's exciting. Very. Very.

And finally, our friends over at Early Bird CBD. I'm all in on New Leaf. Okay, I need to get on that. So we're both on that shit. Yeah. Like, no lie. Yeah.

Yeah. I had used CBD before. I had seen some side effects. Not side effects. Some results from it. What's the word I'm looking for? Benefits. This New Leaf tincture that uh i was

i was gifted recently uh is is totally different ball game the word tincture throws me off every time sure it sounds like a tinky reminds me of tinky you're getting a tinky off when you're doing the tincture in your mouth sure um i mean early birds ud you know what they are by now they're the finest purveyors of cbd out there. It's a great online marketplace. Go on. They've got gummies. Like Will said, the tincture, that's what we're fucking with now. Like all this stuff, man, just go on and check it out. They do a great job also of explaining the benefits of CBD and what it will and won't do. I know it's kind of hot right now and everybody's trying to get in on it. I got a Bed Bath and Beyond thing in the mail and apparently they're selling it now.

Don't let the fact that it looks like everyone's getting in on it. I got a Bed Bath and Beyond thing in the mail and apparently they're selling it now. Don't let the fact that it looks like everyone's getting in on it and it looks kind of like a hype fad ruin it. Because CBD is, no, it's not going anywhere and it's awesome. And we've been screwing with it for a long time. If you do have questions regarding CBD, they have actually done a very good job on their blog

of explaining some of the questions that I have. An FAQ, if you will. Yeah, so they have like the questions that are answered are like I have. An FAQ, if you will. Yeah. I love FAQs. So they have, like, the questions that are answered are, like, what is CBD? All you need to know. Tell the folks at home. The CBD Buyer's Guide.

How to buy CBD oil for beginners. They also have THC versus CBD oil frequently asked questions. All these things. Is CBD safe for dogs? Things you'd be asking yourself. They can do a better job explaining it than we can. But if you do go there, use Circling for 20 off what's the code circling back circling back 20 off yeah i use it at night it helps me mellow out doesn't get you high the the is so low or

non-existent it does chill you out though and it's great if your body's inflamed like if you had a hard workout your knees hurt that's what i use it for like honestly yeah so because you know me i work out so hard you do i do like eight minutes on the low impact treadmill earlybirdcbd.com circling back for 20 off should we do something that uh people hate that we did like a year ago? We should always do stuff that our listeners hate. So yes, let's get into it. I don't know.

What are we doing? We're talking about ACL lineup. They dropped the ACL lineup on us. Oh, shit. Out of nowhere. I actually had no clue it was even coming out. I didn't either. It hit me out of nowhere. I haven't been impressed these past few years.

And when Dave dropped in the group text yesterday that this had come out i had to change my tune a little bit let me just say after scanning this for about 30 seconds yesterday i decided it's the best one they've ever had like we we may need to do like a south by event before this acl a south by style event yes yes sorry no no that's fine yeah yeah um i don't hate that we've toyed with that idea before i've not just toyed with it i've been adamant like in the past like what we should be doing this it's perfect are you excited for guns and roses i i am like i shouldn't be but i am here's the N' Roses has so many bangers. Yes. They were iconic.

They ruled the world for a time in the late 80s, early 90s. But, dude, they are such a shell of themselves. Axl, Axl, dude, just give it up. This is what we said about Paul McCartney. Give it up. And he shredded it. No, Paul McCartney, though, people... That's so different.

This is why I like talking about ACL. And we're not getting paid to do this This is not sponsored content I wish it was sponsored Then I wouldn't have general admission tickets Weekend one That are a little pricey Let me say this, I like talking about music

I think we have three very different musical tastes I think Dylan's about ready to shit on Guns N' Roses Right? I do not like Guns N' Roses Your thing is you don't just on Guns N' Roses, right? I do not like Guns N' Roses. But your thing is you don't just dislike Guns N' Roses. You don't like anything from that kind of era. You don't like classic rock.

That's fair. That's fair to say. Are they classic rock, though? Yeah. They're a little newer. By now. By now they are. Okay.

Like classic rock when we were in high school, no. They were still only like a... Well, for you. For you, they were like... Probably the soundtrack of your high school years. We're not doing that. Because you're old. We graduated one year apart. You know.

Welcome to the Jungle doesn't get you off? I would attend that show, and I'm sure I would really appreciate it. But I'm not going to go crazy for it, no. You're not going to get in the mosh pit. You're not going to do any mosh pitting. My mosh days are behind me. Have you ever been in a mosh pit? You know I have not been in a mosh pit.

Will, have you? Like a punk show? Are you serious? I've been in a hell of mosh pits. I have too. There's no way you're moshing. I swear. Dude, you will get pummeled.

Dude, I got to get trampled. High school me was in mosh pits every weekend. Not every weekend. A lot. I would go to a lot of punk rock shows when I was younger. Okay. Something that I... And people are going to be like, oh, in Harbor Springs, Michigan.

No, we would drive and go to Grand Rapids. Oh, hell yeah. It's lit. Kalamazoo. Oh, Kalamazoo. You know it's over once you get to Kalamazoo. Actually, I went to an anti-flag show in Flint once. Probably wouldn't do that.

Did you drink the water? Have they figured that water shit out? No. No, no, no. I feel like that's not... People don't make a big enough deal about that. People don't make a big deal about about that did you see the meme going around about like notre dame it wasn't a meme it's just why do i hate it when you say it the right way yeah after after the note after notre dame burned down like they got like billions of dollars and people are just like yeah but there are people

without water over there so like maybe we should think oh and i think you know the states gave a bunch of money too. And multiple. Yeah, no, we did. We pledged money. Let's give it to Flint. And while we're on that, you know what? There's multiple churches that have been burned down. Black churches in the last few months that could use some money for rebuilding.

Maybe we should help our own. Yep. Yeah, okay. Just saying. Just saying. All right, the headliners. Hold on. What were we talking about?

Mosh pitting? I want to ask you all. Have you ever been in a mosh pit dylan dylan is not i said no okay can i say this something that i was at a concert sunday night at acl live you mosh completely different thing no we're up in the balcony great seats though churches you should have mosh great mosh in the upper deck uh uh i did watch a guy record most of the show via phone and post it to his snap. And I was like, dude, did you even have fun at this show? You snapped half of it. And I'm not kidding. He held it.

Yeah, but he got to relive it in bed later that night. Just watching his story. That's tight. Oh, my God. Have you ever rushed the stage? Like had seats in an auditorium or a stadium and then jumped over the balcony and ran down to the floor to the pit. No. Because that was some of the most dangerous, reckless shit I did as a 15-year-old.

No. I can remember doing it at a corn show. There were certain things I wouldn't do. That was one of them. Whenever we'd go to Warped Tour, I always avoided the Dropkick Murphy's mosh pits because it was just a bunch of massive dudes just throwing weight around. I caught a forearm to the temple once in a mosh pit. Dude, it was scary. Dropkick Murphys were just a whole different ballgame.

This isn't fair, but I feel like the Dropkick Murphys have a more reckless mosh pit. It was dudes that literally wanted to fight. Is it like a lot of ex-prison gang dudes? It's what it looks like. Like, it's a crowd that I'm not gonna try to mosh with.

These are guys that shave their heads when they don't need to. Like, they just, before the concert, they were like, no, hey bro, help me shave my head.

What I like about a metal mosh pit is that, yes, it is reckless, but there's always big dudes who, like, manage the mosh pit.

They look out for high school kids like me if they see themselves in exactly like if somebody starts getting too rough they'll go in there and like dude check your shit so like it's self-policing crowd surf no i was always scared of crowd surfing because i saw too many people just get dumped yeah i crowd surfed like i think just once just once and i always wonder man well if you crowd surf we used to go to like pretty hardcore shows if you crowd surfed all the way to the stage and then security brought you're a wild man Will if you crowd surfed we used to go to like pretty hardcore shows if you crowd surfed

all the way to the stage and then security brought you down I always was scared that they were going to kick me out of the show no they just they just let you go back

they just bring you to the back yeah yeah alright headliners Guns N' Roses Mumford & Sons Childish Gambino

The Cure Cardi B Billie Eilish, Tame Impala, Robin. Honestly, I love it. Dude, I'm sneaky getting out for The Cure, man. Dude, The Cure is going to be incredible. I'm going over there. They're my number one on the entire lineup of who I want to see.

Should I know who Tame Impala is? I keep hearing his name. I can't tell you the names of any of their songs. Is this a one-man DJ guy? No. Is this Martin Skrillex Part 2? Yeah. No, no, they're not.

It's a band? It's a band. Okay. Okay. Is this going to be one of those things where this person doesn't actually exist? Yeah, I don't know. Shout out to my boy, Tyler Childers,

who I've been on from the jump. Guy's super talented. Wow, ground floor. I have. I actually saw him with you.. Guy's super talented. Wow, ground floor. I have. I actually saw him with you. He's way up here. This sounds like, actually, I kind of want Dave to just read about what Tame Impala is in the voice of, what's it called from Saturday Night Live?

Stefan? Stefan. Give me your lappy. Okay, just read the first. Actually, I'm going to go back. Just read the first line of the Wikipedia. I have it... I have it highlighted on my laptop.

So here you go, Dave. Let's hope this delivers. Yeah, I hope it does. Okay. Tame Impala's Australian psychedelic music project led by multi-instrumentalist Kevin Parker, who writes, records, performs, and produces music. Wait, it is just one guy I guess it is, yeah Okay

I'll be honest My only experience is like Tossing mine on Spotify Because I've heard people talk about Tame Impala And just being like Oh, that's a band Do they do vocals?

I mean, what's going on here? You're asking questions to the wrong guy What does it mean if you have a music project like is this like for shits and gigs just an ongoing project he's never gonna it's not like a career it's just a hobby yeah just some side work casey musgraves is on this and she's not one of the helpers she's the first one listed dude how about gary clark jr austin like low-key legend, just not getting the nod from ACL as like one of the big dogs. Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. My favorite people, and I'll make mine quick.

My favorite people that I want to see are The Cure, Robin, Weekend 2 only. Who's Robin? She sings a lot of heaters. Really? She was kind of big in the 90s and lately had a resurgence. Billie Eilish, I'm not real familiar but she's hot right now.

I want to see Gary Clark Jr. bad. Honestly, I'm going to 21. I don't know. I'm not going to go to 21. I'll see 21 Savage, Tyler Childers,

Casey Musgraves, yes. Gary Clark Jr. Casey Musgraves' show is going to be the most packed. It's going to be awful because I'm assuming she's not on the biggest stage. show is going to be the most packed it's going to be awful because I'm assuming she's not on the biggest stage

Childish Gambino will be cool it's going to be awful Childish Gambino will be very good he backed out last year so like he might need to earn my

he already is kind of earning it with that movie that I talked about Lil Uzi Vert might be fun nah man I'm good Bruce Hornsby no one's talking about that

yeah I tweeted that it's going to turn into just one big Pacific Life summary. Did that go viral? It didn't, but real one's new. I'm going to wear my new hat, though, to ACL this year. Okay. Look out for Will and his new hat. I might get a beaver skin flat brown by that point.

Who knows? I feel like you'd sweat through that. You'd definitely sweat through that. You think I'm worried about that? Dude, I'm kind of bummed you already bought tickets because I definitely want to go weekend two. I can't. I've got a golf trip.

Ooh, TFM. It's like a Texas golf trip. It's not like... I want to go. It's not like the Ireland trip. I don't know which weekend, but I want to go. I'm going weekend two because I want to see Robin. I don't really care about seeing Cardi.

I think she'll bring it, but... Cardi. I think Robin will be... Is it Robin versus Cardi? That's... about seeing cardi i think she'll bring it but cardi i think robin will be is it robin versus cardi that's i think robin is going to fill in for cardi b weekend too oh oh yeah they alternate yeah all the uh the ladies the wags and uh that i hang out with they want to go see cardi so i'll probably get dragged to that also and it'll be entertaining don't sleep on mumford sun's doing doing their thing they were opposite lcd sound system a few years ago and part of me i mean lcd sound system is like one of my top three bands

so i wasn't going to leave there but mumford and sons on the opposite side i was like shit these guys are bringing you're the most mumford guy no that's kind of surprising that you opted for lcd and i don't i don't listen to them they they try a little yeah but you look you look mumford it looks like i would be a really big Mumford fan. It absolutely does. People who complain about us talking about ACL lineup, we're basically just music in general. We're just giving music takes. Yeah.

We don't need to chill. We're going to Bruce Hornsby. Oh, a thousand percent. I'll be there with Mike. Micah better go. He'll go. He'll be there. Micah's... No one loves Hornsby more than Micah. Maybe Duda. Duda and Micah. Duda and Micah should go together.

That's all I got on that. It's exciting. It's a good lineup. Can I ask a... Don't they always... Haven't they, the past few years, they've been dropping someone later in the day? They did Jay-Z later in the day.

Didn't they do... Two years ago. I thought they did that with Paul McCartney last year. I don't think so. We shouldn't be on like I'm good with this lineup. They don't need to do anything more for me. I'm happy. Can I ask a music festival question? Explain Stagecoach to me.

Because a lot of people that I follow were at Stagecoach. I think it's Country Coachella. Is it Country Coachella? It looked give me, if you don't mind finding a lineup for that. I'm doing it right now. I think it's Country Coachella. Is it Country Coachella? It looked... Give me... If you don't mind finding a lineup for that.

I'm doing it right now. Because it looks like a soft music festival. Where they have Coachella, I believe. Oh. It looks like a safe music festival. Let me rephrase that. Where you can go and you can still get music festival fits off. Like, oh, look, I got this bandana on.

I'm very Western outdoorsy. But at the same time it's like you're a stage coach you're not like in the grime of like a coachella or like a lollapalooza is all blues even around anymore it's definitely like they had like they had my boy luke bryan cole swindle or is it cole swindell it's swindell they had brett michaels this year okay which is big um wait this is where little nas x and billy ray came out isn't it did they i don't know dude um yeah there's some controversy there's some some country acts luke combs uh kind of speaking out against that song because i think it's kind of mocking country music i don't know if you saw

this song combs he was also old town road oh they're saying like yeah i feel like we're kind of being made fun of a little bit and to that i say man maybe just don't take yourself so seriously yeah that's ridiculous dude chill out it's a fun song it's it's there's not going to be a new genre made made by this you have to you have to allow yourself to be made fun of to have to enjoy it gets country will seal of approval wow well that's hey what dylan what what what is this what is this about i hear you're going to the uh live music uh capital of the world this weekend who said that dan dude you got you got got real mad for a second. I didn't get real mad.

You kind of did. You had this angry voice. I just had to correct him. Well, Dylan has T over 1400. Was it Dan that said that? I don't remember. It was definitely not me. It was Dan.

Why would he say that? I think people in Nashville would ride for it over Austin. Not as the live music capital. They do have a ton of live music. It's the country music capital of the world. Country music, yeah. That's what it's called. Will, I'm sad that you weren't here to rip the Bachelorette,

the Nashville draft Bachelorette. Dude, I only saw a little bit of that. What the hell? I mean, Dylan had the right take. I hate, I'm sorry, Dave. Dylan had the correct take. There's no way that that should have ever been on their radar. Yeah.

It wouldn't have been on my radar, and I'm a guy who watches football. Exactly. Like, you would never think, like, ooh, let's check to see if there's any events there. Yeah. I don't know. You just find a weekend that everyone's available and you book it and you go. But it seems like the kind of thing that you would realize the week of when you're Googling things to do in Nashville. And then all of a sudden you see, like, oh, the NFL draft is there.

Even if the NFL draft, if I knew it was going to be there, I wouldn't assume it's going to take over the whole city. Same. Because it doesn't seem like a big spectator event to me. Same. I agree. Nevertheless, a funny video. Yeah. Yeah, I wish I could have been there. I would have loved to cover that on Peach. That would have been like, right, so in my wheelhouse.

What's that? It went down for a couple hours. It's back. Should we move on? Yeah, probably. Do you have any closing thoughts? What's the furthest you'll ever travel to go to a music festival ever? A festival or just a show?

About 12 minutes. Because a festival, dude, I only go to, I don't do festivals. I only do ACL because it's right here. Festival, I will never go to any festival unless it's like ACL right in my backyard. That being said, I could see myself traveling to go to a concert of someone I want to see who I'm not sure I'll ever get to see again. I mean, last year for ACL, I lived, not even kidding, a 10-minute walk from Zilker Park where ACL is.

Where we're currently recording, you can hear the music from where we are and i i just went one i had a three-day pass i went one day because i was like you know what i'm good i just this is not my thing really but there's like there's a concert in san francisco in november that i'm like kind of thinking about going to who uh block party they were a band i got really into in high school. And the music these days isn't as good. But the reason I'm thinking about doing it is because, one, I love San Francisco. And two, they are playing the album, like my favorite album from them, their first one. They're just playing their concert.

They're just doing the entire album. I wish Green Day would do that with the Dookie album. It'd be awesome. Even though it's like 38 minutes long. That's what I'm worried about. That these guys, they have a short album. Yeah. It's's a short one so i'm not sure how to go my dream my dream nostalgia tour would be weezer and green day and weezer plays the blue album and green day plays dookie i hate we and that's it and then we get the fuck out you don't put you don't put off weezer vibes

those bands do like you said you remember when you told me that my buddy put out the vibe of a guy who likes vampire weekend yes i told i told him that my buddy put out the vibe of a guy who likes Vampire Weekend? Yes. I told him that. I was like, this was said about you. And he just laughed. He's like, who was it? Brady.

Oh, what did Brady say? Oh, man. No, he was like, that's really fair. But you don't want to be that guy. No, that's fair. The Weezer guys in my high school were just kind of losers. Do you think, do you think, how many bands that you were really into in high school do you still follow?

Hardly any. I'm only asking because I'm curious. Do you think that you, because for the most part, I don't follow those bands. Like in their new music, a lot of them

are still making music. Is it because they've gotten worse or have I grown out of it and am I just so different now that I, my tastes have changed? I am I just so different now that I, my tastes have changed. I feel like my,

I feel like my, how much new music I devour hasn't changed. Like I still look for new music and listen to new stuff, but I think more than anything in compared to high school, I go back and I listened to like classics more. Yeah. And like, I don't know,

like just off the top, like the band and like CCR and people like just off the top like the band and like ccr and people like that i feel like across canadian ragweed but now i also listen i listen to a lot of jazz when i'm like working or taking like a long drive or something like that and so okay i don't do every that's something i do everyone knows that yeah i know but just seeing you say it it i don't i don't like listen to anything that i used to listen to in high school but just seeing you say it it i don't i don't like listen to anything that i used to listen to in high school besides literally maybe who i just said so in college i listened to a lot of the red dirt the texas country stuff and not that tyler childers is red dirt or anything i mean he's from like west virginia right but it's red dirt he's it he's in that genre like he's got the

i i don't i'll lump him in there. There it is. And I've seen him live. And I acknowledge that like, okay, yeah, he's, I would have liked him five years ago, 10 years ago, whatever. But I can't just get into it now. And it's weird. Yeah, I just don't, I don't listen to a lot of that stuff. Like I'll go back and listen to the classics like Will said. Classic Cory Morrow. Keen?

Keen, yeah. Keen's probably one of the bigger ones. Robert O. Keen. But new acts in that genre, you have to really, really catch me. And he's good. And I'll probably see him at ACL. I think he's one of... I think he is up there with the best that have ever done this genre of music.

That's pretty high price. It is. I know. But that's how high on Tyler Childers I am. I gave him a chance because Sturgill Simpson produced or helped produce his album. So it's like, okay. This guy's got cred. He has a really great, unique voice.

Definitely. Just really catchy melodies. Seems like a wild man, too. Yeah. They're from Kentucky, man. Is it Kentucky? Yeah, they're backwoods. too. Yeah. They're from Kentucky, man. Is it Kentucky? Yeah, they're backwoods. Okay.

Yeah, they're from Kentucky, not West Virginia. Sorry. I mean, look. Come on. Same fucking thing. Yeah, but it is red dirt. Red dirt is not just about

where you're from. It's just... If your dirt ain't red, don't talk to me. It's just a style of music. Do y'all have red dirt up in Michigan? No.

Yeah, not surprised. If Tyler Childress keeps going at the trajectory that he's in like he's gonna be up there with your like luke bryan here we go i knew exactly where this was going yeah i mean that's just how it is like uh wait he's got he could be like a blake shelton level fame you know what i mean can we stop somebody had a funny response to your your photo your vacation will photo and it was this looks like a Blake Shelton album cover and it absolutely does really good critique

I don't know what a Blake Shelton album cover looks like but I assume it's what you posted yeah yeah the one in you in the hat yeah

okay that is correct that was fun we should do more music talk I like music you know what I actually might wear to ACL this year because of his

moisture wicking properties oh here we go a rollback polo maybe a roll You know what I actually might wear to ACL this year because of its moisture-wicking properties? Oh, here we go. A Roback polo, maybe? A Roback tee. No, I'm not going to go polo. Okay. Oh, I'm sorry. Shut the fuck up, Don.

I'm just going to go with the tees. Jesus. Our friends over at Roback, they got polos, quarter zips, performance tees, hats. Are you wearing your Roback hat right now, Dave? Yeah. It's backward, though. You know what they are. They fit great.

I could not be happier with the fit. Oh, they fit like a glove, Will. Like a glove. They fit like they're custom-made just for my body, but they're not. They're for everybody. Like a glove that just allows you to move around and throw weight around. It's an athletic fit, but it doesn't feel like it's all over you on the golf course. I mean, we wore them two golf tournaments at the golf course ourselves.

I've worn mine just out. Matt's El Rancho, get a fit off. Using CB20, you can get 20% off at Roback.com. That's R-H-O-B-A-C-K, Roback.com. Real quick on Roback. You know they've got the dog. That's like their logo. It's the Rhodesian Ridgeback.

I've had people who were unfamiliar, and they were like, did you get shirts made with like Randy? I'm like, no, it's not a custom Randy. I don't hate getting custom Randy shirts. I don't either. Hey, happy birthday to the big guy. Happy birthday to the Rand man. Gosh.

How old is he? He's one. He's Uno. Seven in dog years, though. I don't believe in that. Did he have a good birthday, man? Yeah, what did he do? Did he get a cake? You're always Seven in dog years, though. I don't believe in that. Did he have a good birthday, man? Yeah, what did he do? Did he get a cake?

You're always 17 in your hometown, Will. Did he get a cake off? We got him a cupcake from a dog bakery in Westlake. You didn't go to Wolfgang Bakery on South Lamar? No, we went to the one in Westlake. Oh, there's one in Westlake. Wolfgang? Wolfgang.

That's funny. That's where we actually get rosie uh uh what's it called groomed yeah really they groomed there they do they do a good job uh but like it's an absurd place it's it's so yuppie scum we should talk about this i don't know why we didn't think of this before but like this is what i've become now i'm i am the the insufferable dog owner. But you know what? He deserves it.

Anybody that has a problem with that feel free to you know get your content elsewhere. I don't care. It's weird though looking at yourself in the mirror and just knowing and I say this because I did this

knowing that like I bought a dog cupcake and gave it to my dog on her birthday. What's worse than the dog the dog cupcake or putting the tiny my dog on her birthday what's worse than the dog the dog cupcake or putting the tiny birthday hat on your dog dude we can't do the birthday hat rosie will eat that

dude okay so randy was good with it and then he kind of caught on to what we were doing as like really really like trying to get photos yeah and then he just kind of walked over and just started doing the he starts swiping at it and he gets it off his head and it like stuck on his snout it's just they don't even know they don't even know what birthdays are i don't know what's going on you don't think no i mean why why is my dad putting this weird hat on me and give me a cupcake sally's sister gave their dog a cheeseburger for for its birthday and started eating it and all of a sudden they were like oh like i hope the dog doesn't choke because it was just like mowing a cheeseburger. So for Rosie's birthday this past year, Sally was like, why don't we just get her a cheeseburger?

And I was like, no, it's too much. I'm scared to give Randy stuff like that because we've been lucky with his bowel movements are just so consistent that I'm afraid one cheeseburger might completely rock up his GI tract. I mean, I'm introducing sardines into his diet now have you started introducing like probiotics to Randy or anything it's hey I'm gonna give it

unsolicited unspawned is Randy optimized he's optimized the Nulo dog food that we give him it has the probes in it

that's good that's good it's good for the gut your gut health is like your most important thing I bet Dylan's gut health is trash I don't pay attention to gut health this segment I don't really know gut. Your gut health is like your most important thing. I bet Dylan's gut health is trash. I don't pay attention to gut health.

I don't really know what the hell gut health is, so I don't really pay attention to it. You put out the vibes of doing this. Yeah, you have a trash gut. This segment is brought to you by the American Gut Association. The only thing I do for gut health is I occasionally have a kombucha because they just taste so good. Dude, I would love to get in your guts and just see what they're all about. Get up in my guts, player. You haven't checked your microflora? don't know what that is david oh my god dude this is so aren't you embarrassed you haven't checked your microflora what is my what is it what is michael

it's the opposite of macroflora dude come on it's just it's just a smaller version you haven't even peeped your biomes i haven't peeped them i hate to ask you this but dude you have it guts we're not doing that anymore yeah we are no that's the last time we're doing a guts throwback we're throwing it to Mo

dude I bet you were what whoa whoa whoa wild and crazy kid I watched believe it or not I did watch that show how bad did you want to be on wild and crazy kids

so bad but like with the mentality of like I could do this so easily. I always thought that I could just smoke these kids. There are little nerds on there, man. I could smoke all those kids. You think? Yeah.

I don't know, man. Little nerds from the 90s? Dude, 90s nerds were the best. I feel like people were the least athletic looking in the 90s. The early 90s Like if you were a kid under the age of 15 in like 1993 You were unathletic looking as fuck Did you see the viral tweet about Like it had like a pair of like

Ugly ass sneakers That were like untied and really clunky I think they were Osiris actually Were they your sneakers? And it just said I mean they could have been But somebody said like This just ran the mile in gym class wearing cookie monster pajama pants

it's like yep i know exactly the kid in high school that did that yeah should we talk about vacation will now hold on i want to keep talking about gut biome i don't yeah we know why you don't honestly i know we do it like every six months but anytime the conversation slides into like nickelodeon early 90s talk i get really into it yeah i just start my my mind right now is just racing with like guts hey dude takes guts is something that i think about a lot which is the show that slimed you uh that's the dylan show uh that was uh what was it called david something with dare in the title double dare double double dare double dare i That's the Dylan show. That was... What was it called? Something with dare in the title? Double Dare.

Double Dare. I went hard on Double Dare. I always wanted to get slimed. Do you remember when Nickelodeon, they went all in on sliming? When the awards, the kids awards, they'd have Leo out there, and he would be out there like,

I'm getting slimed, dude! And they would slime his ass. Yeah. And that was the big draw. Some celebrity would go out there and get slime. Should we slime like one of us

at the next event we throw? You want to slime us? I think we should have a dunk tank. A slime tank? But you fall into slime. Or Gak. You can't fall into Gak.

You might get stuck in Gak. It's like quicksand. Gak is the new quicksand. We don't want to die at this event. Yeah. Have you ever shoved your fingers in some Gak?

Of course. It's hard to pull out. My stomach is talking right now. Is that at this event. Yeah. Have you ever shoved your fingers in some gack? Of course. It's hard to pull out. My stomach is talking right now. Dude, is that you? Yeah. Yeah. If your speakers just blew out at home, I'm sorry. Dylan's stomach is going wild.

He's barking. Loco. It's your gut biome. It's talking to me. Dylan. Dylan. Dylan, feed us. Dylan.

Dylan, we don't have the proper nutrition. That's not what they're saying. What accent is that? That's my stomach accent. It's the gut biome. Yeah, it's the gut bi proper nutrition. That's not what they're saying. What accent is that? That's my stomach accent. It's the gut biome accent. Hello, Dylan. You've deprived us of nutrients all these years. Your chickens are coming home to roost.

They're gasping for air. Just let me know when y'all are done. We can move on. It's the biggest threat next to climate change, Dylan. Your stomach is trash. Gut biome Dave. It's a new character. It does not have legs, though.

No, it's not going to work. I'm glad we workshopped it, though. We at least know now. All right. Vacation Will time. Should we talk about vacation will real quick Cabeza watch vacation will

back from Mexico Dylan said on the podcast about like like once a year for six weeks I just leave town yeah and that was I guess

he's just gone that was these past two weeks yeah I guess he just told us he's going to San Francisco in like another two weeks I know

yeah for a long weekend we got a long weekend in uh what is it like three three weeks away Memorial Day weekend yeah I went last year I loved it it was the best have you been defrauding the company yeah for a long weekend. We got a long weekend. And what is it, like three weeks away? Memorial Day weekend, yeah.

I went last year. I loved it. It was the best. Have you been defrauding the company? Yeah. No. Are you laundering money? I'm actually doing this on the cheap.

It's great. Good for you. Yeah, thank you, thank you. Todos Santos, Mexico. Our North of Cabo. Donde is that? Our North of Cabo in the Baja Peninsula. Okay. I love the Baja. Dude, the Baja of Cabo in the Baja Peninsula. Okay.

I love the Baja. Dude, the Baja goes hard. Were the Baja men there? It's kind of frustrating to fly into Cabo and not go to Cabo. Because you're just driving and you're like, shit. I want to go play golf. I want to go to douchey bars. Why did y'all choose Todos Santos?

I didn't choose it. My friends had it. It was essentially like a joint bachelor-bachelorette party. And I know some people out there are like, oh, you can't do that, blah, blah, blah. Oh, I'm pretty sure we've all had that take on this pod. Yeah. Or I have at least. It was awesome.

It was so much fun. We were chilling the most. At one point, I was like, am I too chill right now? But did it get wild? It got wild. I had one night where I might have taken it a little too far. I had to be pretty much brought back to life.

Adrenaline shot? Sally went, right? Yeah. Sally has to keep an EpiPen on her just in case Will gets too wild. She saw my eyes

start shutting down a little bit at dinner and then so we had to bring me back to life. We've seen that look before. Yeah, for sure. My eyes are very telling when I get hammered.

They brought in Melisandre to bring Will back to life. Wake me up. Don't, you're not gonna, come on. No, I get it. I'm looking at you for some support. I get hammered. They brought in Melisandre to bring Will back to life. Wake me up. Dylan, you're not going to. Come on. No, I get it. I'm looking at you for some support. I get it.

I was just thinking about the time at Matt's El Rancho when Will passed out sitting up at the table with the sun up. I get tired, dude. If I day drink, I get tired. This came up recently. Actually, over the weekend. The time that we went to Matt's El Rancho and you stumbled into the metal chairs outside and like

fell and the metal chair that's very heavy like did that really loud drag but it was a slow drag because you just slowly fell

yep I tripped on the stairs and fell into a metal chair and some nice man sitting at his table on a Sunday night got to come over and help me up do we need to talk to you

about your drinking no okay my day drinking at like crawfish boilsils and stuff though, that sun, the sun drink combo, it can get to me. That's why I don't do it anymore. Try not to at least.

Yeah, I don't know. Like, as far as joint bachelor, bachelor parties go, I don't think it's for everybody. But when you've got a group of friends like the people that I went with, it made sense. And now I'm like, I'm not think it's for everybody. But when you've got a group of friends like the people that I went with, it made sense. And now I'm like, I'm not gonna shit on the idea anymore. I can understand why people would.

But it's hard to say. Wait, what did y'all do on Saturday? Did y'all split up? No. We never split up. Y'all had a co-mingling Saturday? Like gender co-mingling? Yeah. Cause you realize... So if anyone's ever... Oh shit, dude. You didn't realize it's for the boys.

Dude, Sabado SL4 Por... The Ninos? For the hombres. Oh, Ninos to be the kids. Hombre is a good word. Yeah. Why did Trump stop using that? Not to get political. Bad hombre? Bad hombres.

The more I watch Veep, the more I... Did you run into any bad hombres down there? No, bad hombre bad hombres the more i watch veep the more i like do you run into any bad hombres down there no not bad bad hombres so just to give a synopsis of toto santos it's an hour north of cabo and you drive it feels like longer you drive it's a long ass drive and you're really in the middle of nowhere on the coast if that makes me nervous like if you go into town you you feel totally safe and everything. It's fine. You can walk into any restaurant or bar, enjoy yourself. They've got ice cream shops. It's not like

a really Americanized town, but if you don't speak any English, you can get around it. Did you go to any super Mercados? No. I did go to a fish market. I went to a vegetable stand that had some of the freshest, best looking produce I've ever seen. Was it organic? It was. And. I went to a vegetable stand that had some of the freshest, best-looking produce I've ever seen. Was it organic?

It was. And then we went to some bars and restaurants in town. But the coolest part about Todos Santos is that there are just beach bars that you go to that just have seats that face the water, and you can go swimming right in front of it, and the waiters are just coming to you like another round, let's do it. And it's not expensive. That's one issue I had with Cabo where we,

the part of the beach we were in, you couldn't get into the ocean. Yeah. Like the surf was too rough and there were rocks. This is definitely head on a swivel territory. Like you had to be careful. Like part of me didn't want Sally to go in. Cause I was like,

I don't know if she can handle these waves crashing. wow i don't want anything to happen to her i don't like it when she rides bird scooters because it scares me oh that's sweet so so you just go to like essentially like the move is just going to these bars and just like drinking on the beach for the day did y'all catch any party waves uh with our bodies yes you body surf did some body surfing love a good body dude did you wear body gloves? Peak body, I wish. I forgot my entire suit. It was a bummer.

People, so I posted on Instagram, and Sally's sitting on the ground on the Instagram while everyone else is sitting in chairs at this bar. You got roasted for it. Had a lot of people clapping back at it. Either right before that photo was taken, maybe even while the photo was being taken, I offered up that she could have my seat.

And she said, no, I'm actually really comfortable right here. Just saying. And actually, the people next to her, they're the ones that took her seat. Oh, shit. Yeah, she went and got drinks for everybody. Name names. Oh, shit.

So at the bar, you can see in this photo, I was holding a tamarind margarita. I don't even know what tamarind is. Okay. Sally told me I had it at a wedding one time and I really liked it, so that's why she got it for me. What was in the margarita surprised me, even though it shouldn't have. A worm. They put it in the margarita?

Yeah. Alive? The concerning thing is that... No one wants that. Worms, per our research, are mainly supposed to be in mezcal. And in this drink, there was no mezcal. So what we decided was that this wasn't an intentional worm in the margarita. It was a worm that was attached to the tamarind that they put into the margarita.

What is a tamarind? I don't know. It looks like a brown pea pod that's oversized that tastes actually really good. And so I almost ate the worm. Thinking you're supposed to or thinking like oh it's good luck no i think i was supposed to like oh this is a good luck i should eat eat the worm but then once we started googling it i was like i don't know if this is an intentional worm but then everyone told me i was gonna have bad luck for like six years if i don't eat the worm did you eat the worm i did not eat the worm you didn't do odds on the worm no it, it was like... I'm not eating the worm.

I don't... When I go to Mexico, I try not to eat like worms and stuff because like I don't know what's... I don't want to get like some kind of like weird shit. I don't really eat worms anywhere now that I think about it. Yeah. I'm a big worm guy. Yeah.

That makes sense actually. Have you ever... What's the... Have you ever eaten insects? No, why would I? Grasshoppers, crickets. I've never done that. People do it. Good source of protein yeah down there

and like in foreign countries apparently they're really prepared really well that's just something i can't do not into it man it's not that different than like a crawfish i mean it's probably healthier than like the b-dubs i had for dinner the other night it's actually a lot different than a crawfish let me amend that sorry okay especially since you just eat the whole thing i would assume and the crawfish you just take the meat out of it yeah but it's less work and you get more bang for your buck. I don't think so. The grasshopper? Don't want a grasshopper in your mouth?

You don't have to peel off a shell, I mean. Yeah, you just chop that shit. The legs and the crunchiness and the eyeballs. That's one of the few foods that I will refuse to eat. Get out of here, David. They sell cricket protein powder. True story. You liar.

Have you ever seen Shark Tank? No, look it up. You watch Shark Tank? Look it up. There was an entire presentation of Shark Tank where the guys were just doing cricket shit. That's weird. true story you liar have you ever seen shark tank look it up you watch shark tank look it up there was an entire presentation of shark tank where the guys were just doing cricket shit that's weird yeah they just take golf polos and they grind them up and serve them what are they gonna think of next you know yeah it's crazy you know i'm saying dave yeah yeah it's no way of knowing

no no really do you guys want my toto Santos official rating? Yeah, I do. Would you go back? Let's start there. I would go back. I'm not rushing back. It was really awesome and I enjoyed it while I was there. But looking back on it, I'm not like, oh, I can't wait to go back. I definitely want to go back to Cabo before I go back to Toto Santos. Still haven't been to Cabo, man.

I will go back, though. And if you're going to Cabo and you're looking for a day trip, go check out the Hotel San Cristobal in Todos Santos. If I don't get a beach vacation off in 2019, you might as well just put me to sleep. Yeah, see, I just knocked mine out. It's been too long since I've been to the beach, and it's not sitting well with me. I got to go, Dave. Do you hear me?

Do you hear me? Why don't you get on the Port Aransas or something? Dave, I gotta go, Dave. Do you hear me? Do you hear me? Why don't you go down to Port Aransas or something? Dave, I'm talking real big. I knew I was chilling on my beach vacay when I was getting massive acid reflux

from all the lime juice I was taking in. Because between the ceviches and the margaritas, just so much lime juice. Man, speaking of lime juice and being at the beach, every time I go to the beach

and I have some kind of limey drink, whether it be a margarita or even like a vodka soda whatever and i get the lime juice on my hands be careful with that because it can really burn your skin that's you know that lime juice on your skin if you leave it there plus the sun it'll just cook you it's a bad burn bad that's a true story wash your hands after you make your drinks this actually makes sense given something that happened on the trip i get i break i it starts getting real itchy and then i get bumps everywhere and they just burn

that's the thing that happens to dads they're cutting up limes for the you know memorial day weekend for the margs and the next thing you know they're in the pool and they're like what the fuck you know what happened i got a rash it's it's from the sun i got a buddy who has a scar on his stomach from lime juice it was sitting there and he was laying out in the sun. That sucks, but at the same time, it's a chill-ass scar. It's like, yeah. It's cutting up lines. Until you tell the story behind it. Yeah.

There are better scars. It's like you're in a knife fight in an alleyway. I mean, you're talking about lime juice. Yeah, dude. Yeah, I was making marks. Shit hit the fan. Just lost sight of things. Man.

Lost track of time, son. Dave, get me to the beach is what I'm saying. I'm not your travel agent. Maybe you should. I'm not. I can set you up. Hey, do I see some bulls in a parade in the distance? Because I think Dave Against the Machine is here.

Is that what you're seeing? What a segue that was. I like that. Did we just go to Pamplona? Because there's a bunch of bulls just running down the street right now. What Will was talking about, this next segment is called Dave Against the Machine. And Dave's got some kind of political take he's going to share with us, I believe. Zach Dave LaRocca.

Y'all done messed up. Me? Who are you talking about? Just y'all in general. I'm back on my bs oh shit i i used to be really really into politics high school i was a poli sci guy in college i was very into that's a tight thing to say that i used to be into it it's a tight thing unless you want to make money uh true true but know, not necessarily the best thing

and then pivot into media, but whatever. Something's going on in Texas that it piques my interest, not because we have a sponsor, Early Bird CBD. Shout out to them. And not because I'm a big pot guy. Big weed guy, Dave. I'm not.

Dave the weed guy. But, you know, Texas is so far behind in so many things. What gets them on nerves is how Texas likes to puff out their chest. And they, you know, we like to put come and take it stickers on our truck. We talk about how we're, you know, small government, blah, blah, blah. Live free or die. I know that's New Hampshire, but whatever. It's the same shit here. We like to think that we're one thing, but we're fucking not. And there's

a bill in the, and this is local to Texas, but other states are going to go through it. And I'm talking about legal weed and not just legal weed. Actually, I'll dial it back. Decriminalization, like reducing penalties for people who are caught with like an ounce or less and there's a bill that's it's i don't even think it's going to make it to the house or it's not going to get set for a hearing and this is in texas but it passed the the texas house and it's basically a it's going to take you know something a penalty for an ounce or less and make it so it's like uh not going to fuck your life up not going to put you in jail it'll be a fine it's a step in the right direction right um and then you might have seen me tweet this yesterday so our lieutenant governor dan patrick who is a one of the one of micah's

biggest foes so our old producer micah like so this isn't the ex-coworker of our future co-worker scott van pal this is a different Dan Patrick. Different Dan Patrick. Okay. So he tweeted, you know, criminal justice chair at John Whitmire is right that HB 63, that's the name of the bill, is dead in the Texas Senate. I join with those House Republicans who oppose this step toward legalization of marijuana. I don't get that into things, but when there's something that i don't know what the other side of the argument is and it's been debunked and it's it's so rooted in myth and just propaganda it just pisses me off

old school mentality dan patrick is such an absolute clown he's the go look i'm not even going to go into it we should have micah on just to flame him for an entire podcast but he'll probably do it on mine and micah it's so annoying to me that like the the revenue that this state could uh you know has to gain from legal pot yeah recreationally or medicinally like we're gonna miss out on that and we can't even fund our schools and that's true as somebody whose wife is in the education system like she's a teacher she's's not in high school or anything. That'd be weird. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. As someone who's, his wife is a cheerleader. Oh dude, she's playing softball. Okay. It just pisses me off. It's like, dude,

who's still buying into this shit? And these are the people we vote into, into office. And I say this, if you're thinking about moving to texas because you think it's like tight and like austin's tight dallas houston cool towns keep in mind these are the these are the clowns that we vote into office here that's it there are hella clowns and there are forward-thinking republicans on this

but dan patrick's not one of them and unfortunately there's people uh like this guy he shouted out john whitmire who's um the criminal justice chair which is an important position for this um this shit's not even going to get brought to hearing so it's not going to happen uh i don't know it just pisses me off and i and it's funny because i used to be anti-legal weed when i was in like high school because i was like oh dude i just hated stoners yeah that's what it was and uh i guess all the propaganda kind of worked on me back then but now i'm like dude why do we care why is there so much bad information out there about this

dare used to like harp his weed is like the uh gateway drug gateway drug and like now it's just whole squad legalizing it that would you know joe biden you know you're familiar with this guy that was his yeah i think so he has said before that he believes that marijuana is a gateway drug. Like, look into his record on prohibition. Oh, I don't think he has a nuanced take on it. I'm glad that Michigan decided to legalize it. Are y'all recreational or medicinal? I think it actually is currently recreational.

I'm not sure of the actual logistics of it. It's going to happen everywhere. But before dispensary, it takes almost two years for dispensaries to get off the ground so like even if you travel to michigan right now like some people go to colorado they're like oh i'm gonna go hit the dispensaries like you can't get that experience in michigan yet you will eventually but i believe also the townships are the people that vote on it so like there's no way that harbor springs springs michigan is going to let people sell weed downtown harper springs there's just no fucking way it's just too small town yeah that makes sense um it's kind of like how nap so napa when you know

they don't they don't allow it to be sold inside or there's no dispensaries in napa yeah and i think that's the they don't want any competition for the the wineries that makes sense but yeah right outside of all they just don't want people getting crossfadederies. That makes sense. But right outside of Napa. All they just don't want people getting crossfaded in Napa. Oh, shit. It's like, dude, they're already getting drunk enough here. People are saying a lot of people do that anyway, though. Yeah, I mean, I just brought it from the dispensary I went to in the marina.

It's going to happen everywhere eventually. You have to think that. Oh, no, absolutely. You're right. I agree with you. I don't understand why anyone would stand in the way of this. I don with you. I don't understand why anyone would stand in the way of this. I don't either. People our age, they'll vote Republican

just straight ticket. And then a year from now when they see like, oh wait, why are all the people standing in the way of this? It's like, well these are the people you put in power, man. Yeah, dumbass. I don't know. It's just infuriating these are the people you put in power, man. Yeah, dumbass. I don't know. It's just infuriating.

The ratio on his tweet last I looked was so bad. My thinking has always been like, if you don't vote, you don't have to take responsibility for anything dumb that happens in office. That's why I don't vote. That's a great way of looking at it. I'm just kidding. Just kidding, guys. People get really mad about that. Yeah, I vote.

Don't worry. I don't know it's just dave against the machine i just i it's so crazy to me like i'm out of politics and then i look and i see someone like say something like this and it's just like dude this is so dumb it's so antithetical it drives me saying that you don't watch Veep. I know. Because as someone who enjoys politics, meaning you, not me, you would find so much humor in the stupid, absurd accuracy of some of the things that they do. You have to start it, dude.

Please. Everybody loves Veep. How many seasons have there been? Seven. This is the final season. Two episodes left. And this season has been... Last season sucked. This season has been absolutely remarkable. Let me get in on it.

It's so good, dude. So good. I've been watching way too much TV lately. Did you know that at DFW, they're actually... This is DFW, the airport. Dallas-Fort Worth. They will... That's the one that you said on the other podcast that you really liked. No, it's not it. Your favorite airport.

It's not my position. I said Love Field is the best airport, which is also in Dallas. Dallas proper, though. If they find CBD and they test it and there's even a trace amount of THC, like even if it's under like the, you know, whatever they say it is, 0.03, they're arresting people. Arresting? Yeah.

100%. You're shitting me. Swear to God. That's fucking stupid. There's a story, I think it was NBC5, DFW did a story, like a 71-year-old grandmother. That can happen to anybody. I know.

She's going to be in the... Well, she's going to have a felony. Yeah. That's a felony? Yeah. Stay clear of DFW. To possess CBD oil with a trace of THC's a felony? Yeah. State clear of DFW. To possess CBD oil with a trace of THC is a felony, is what you're telling me. Because the law is murky between the federal and state.

So it's like anything with THC. And their whole thing is, like the TSA is saying, we're just following the law here. And can you imagine if you have like some CBD balm or something and you're going to go on a dope golf trip and you come back and next thing you know, you're in a cell at DFW.

You got to let the dust settle. What are we doing? God. I know. That's fucking stupid. I know there's more. That's ridiculous. That is absurd.

I know there's more pressing issues out there, but it's just like, dude, it angers me. When I see something this dumb, it just makes me so mad. Angry Dave. And I don't like being mad.

I don't like you mad, Dave. I want you happy. Being mad's not fun. Mad for what? Should we do something that's not mad and do something that's fun? A.K.A. this weekend in fun? Yeah, let's lighten the mood here. It's presented by Eisenhower's in Austin, Texas.

Honestly, there's a decent chance I could find myself at Eisenhower's this weekend. Kentucky Derby on Saturday? Are you serious? Is it Derby Saturday? Are you serious? Like, come on. If you're coming to Austin, just make sure to go to Eisenhower's. It's always a blast.

It's always friendly. They've got great drinks and cocktails. They've got cold beers. What more do you need these days? They've also got great live music. Just check it out. It's our favorite Rainy Street bar. I will kick this off as I usually do.

Do it. I will not be at Eisenhower's this weekend. That is because Friday morning I am departing for Nashville. Nash Vegas, is that what people call it? Nash Vegas? Anytime people put the word Vegas after something that's not loss, I don't like it.

So I will be in Nashville this weekend. I'm bringing the sticks. We're supposed to get around it. The problem is the weather looks to be total shit. Nice. Good, good. I hate to say that, but we but we're gonna find no matter what dylan does this thing where like once a year he just goes on vacations i will be vacation dorn i will be missing zero episodes of circling back or mail-in for that matter but yeah i'll be

in i'll be in uh nashville all weekend shots my buddy mikey getting married in a few weeks big ups mike uh it's gonna be a great time. These are my day one high school boys. A few college guys mixed in, but it's going to be so much fun. I can't wait. What's the optimal amount of time between your bachelor party and getting married?

There ain't opinions on this. At least two weeks. You need a full week to recover. Mine was one week before my wedding. One week. Mine was was two and then my buddy grant decided to have his the next weekend so i had basically back to back uh so yeah we're gonna be uh just hitting restaurants and bar hopping and uh just taking in the city i've never ever spent any time this is an interesting choice for a bachelor party i've heard bachelorette parties

yeah and maybe that's why maybe that's why he chose it i don't think so i think they're all I haven't really spent any time in Nashville. This is an interesting choice for a bachelor party. I've heard bachelorette parties. Yeah. And maybe that's why he chose it. I don't think so. I think they're all pretty much spoken for. Nashville's tight. I have no need to go there right now just because it feels so... It felt so Austin-y when I was there. Okay.

That if I'm going on vacation, I want a bigger departure from where I currently am. It's just fun being in a different city with your boys. Oh, for sure. You could go to Columbus, Ohio with your friends, and it's going to be fun. I'm not poo-pooing the bathroom over there. I went to a wedding there a couple years ago, and it was one of the most fun weddings I've ever been to. I can't wait. Like I said, I haven't spent much time in Nashville.

I can't wait to see it. It's going to be fun, man. I'll be back Sunday. Dave? I'm very excited for this weekend. Are you? Friday night, we have hopefully what will be a pivotal game in the Stars Blues series.

Stars are down 2-1. We played a night. I think we're going to even it up at home. Then we're going to have a big-time game six. Or I guess it'll be a game five in St. Louis. Our stars, man. Our stars. Yeah, I'm getting chirped at.

The St. Louis crowd really likes to chirp. Oh, man. That's weird that people from St. Louis would be totally insufferable by their sports teams. Crazy. Well, you know, I don't hate them. I kind of feel bad for them because, you know, their football team did recently leave town. I don't hate them I kind of feel bad for them because their football team did recently leave town I don't feel bad but yeah, if they beat us

hopefully they can go on and win their first Stanley Cup ever I got bullied by Cardinals fans when they beat they didn't just beat the Tigers in the World Series they smoked them well don't talk to me about losses to the Cardinals no no no, I know they smoked us to the point

you don't have to talk shit you should be celebrating right now and it's just like rubbing it in my face yeah like this isn't fun friday night got some peeps coming in town we're gonna we're gonna hit the bars well i think you'll be a part of that bores i'm sorry i'm missing out on that by the way i would i would like to be a part of it it's cool dude you got your vacation just shout shouts to queen can we name him or no? No, no. Okay. Shouts to him and he's bringing someone too?

Plus one. Shouts to him and it's plus one. Dude, I know, you're going to be... What's the plus one doing Saturday? You're going to be spinning people around the dance floor.

I almost said the dance floor. You know me, Dave. For some reason, when I think of Nashville, I think of Shania. Shania Twain. Let's go girls. And I just think about you just getting ready and putting that on.

Don't drop a let's go girls on us, Will. Let's go girls. I feel like I'm doing it. When you hear that let's go girls, you know the dance floor is about to get crazy. That means it's about to get lit. Yeah. I probably won't be doing much dancing, Dave. Really?

I'm not much of a dancer, man. I can, I just choose not to do it. I want to dance with you. Although, some people call me a heartache on the dance floor when I do get out there. So, you never know. That's what they invented dancing for. It's so weird not to be a dance person. Once I get enough drinks with me, I love being on the dance floor.

Occasionally, I will... Are you serious? Occasionally occasionally the mood will strike me and i'll just be in the zone and i'll just i'll put on a show for everybody yeah i'm sure but it's not too often never seen this show like i said not too Dylan's out there pee popping on a handstand pee pop um so saturday i've got no plans it'll probably be uh one of those days where I'm like, I want to go catch nine or walk on or maybe just go hit some balls. I think we're in too hot to golf territory for your boy. Not yet. That means you're done. Not yet. It's sweaty out there.

We have another three or four weeks. Okay. Okay. Okay. I'm not going to abide by that this year. I'm going to play no matter what. My wardrobe is getting me to the territory where I can go later and later into the season. Yeah, dude, they can't.

The moisture wicking fabrics. I should just retire. What just happened? I can't talk. I don't know. What just happened? Just move on. What are you doing this weekend?

It's a hard work day. Dude, you never mess up like that. Well, I did. Just what are you doing this weekend? Just somebody put me down. Me, as you said, bars, beers. Babes. Babes, buzzed, everything.

Cornell, Hofstra. We're doing that Friday night. Should we make like a res? Is Sally in town? We should make a res. Don't do a res without me. No, no. Should we do, should we get Sally and Alyssa?

They go do something, then we go do our thing, and then they meet us later? Yeah. Unless she's got plans. We could, we could iron this out. See, we, I'm your boys getting,

he's doing some dog sitting this weekend. Okay. Uh, with actually for Lily's dog who was on the mail-in podcast, Sally's sister, we're doing some dog sitting. Uh, and so I don't like, it's going to be kind of a weird weekend.

Like I don't, I'm not doing it at my place and I'm also not really wanting to stay at their place. So I'm going to be spending time there and then going home and then coming back late. I don't know. I've done a lot of sleeping outside of my bed lately. I'm going to try to sleep in my bed all weekend. Not on the couch like I usually do. Hey!

Marriage. Saturday, like literally nothing. Like nothing. Those are the best. I don't have a lot on the docket. I haven't had time. Like, being out of town, like, you kind of... The weekend after vacation, you really just don't want to do anything.

The weather's going to be trash, too. Is it? It's supposed to be. I do plan on having some beers and stuff. We should get a resi on the books, though. Dude, like, the 10-day forecast does not look great. It's the same every day. It's basically...

It's thunderstorms. Yeah, like, chance of storms, like, every day. Sunday is supposed to be nice. One sun icon in the middle of all the clouds and lightning. Hey, all my friends north of Dallas, Prosper, Sanger, up

in that area, stay safe. They had some Nados roll through. Little tornadoes, some twisters. Oh, Nados. Some big twister. High activity day. Southern Oklahoma. North, North Texas. Be careful out there. A lot of convection in the air.

I'm going to watch our stars this weekend for sure. God, I hope we even it up. We need this couple. This podcast needs this couple. I got faith. I don't need to do much this couple. This podcast needs this couple. I got faith. But yeah, I don't really... I don't need to do much this weekend. I don't have a need inside of me

to go do a bunch of shit. I feel you, man. I just want to thank everybody for indulging political day. Day against the machine. I just... I feel bad... Whatever, I don't want to get into it.

All those years I was like super anti-pot and it was just based on it was just based on emotion and not liking a certain demo of society that was really into it and now I'm like I have no problem with people smoking weed I don't know why anybody would

yeah like I don't want to get into it let's get into it let's start the pot over people if you're listening out there those generations are over. People, if you're listening out there. Those generations are phasing out, though. If you're listening out there. Imagine being like, sorry, imagine being like 24 and being like, well, we gateway drug. Like, how cool is that dude, you think?

Like, you think that dude's fucking out there slinging it? I don't think so. No, he's not slinging shit, Dave. Dude's at home fucking crank corner all day. Yeah. Sounds tight, actually. No, he's not slinging shit, Dave. Dude's at home fucking crank corner all day. Sounds tight, actually. Yeah, that's not bad. It's chill. What were you going to say, Will?

What about your birth certificate? You know I have a German birth certificate. It's pretty tight, actually. So if you ever run for president,

is that going to be an issue? Are people going to be like... No, I legit could not be president. Why? Because you were born in the other country, but you're a dual citizen. Yeah, but I was not born on U.S. soil. Man, dude, that's a big blow for Dave 2028.
