Starting point is 00:00:00 all right we're back circling back podcast coming to you live from the lodge my name is will to freeze my right david ruff um was there like a gaffe where the president called tim cook tim apple a while back. That sounds familiar. Tim Apple's trending and I was like who the fuck's Tim Apple? The idea of calling him Tim Apple is just hilarious. Yeah, that definitely happened. Yeah. This
Starting point is 00:00:35 rings a bell. But it's unfair because there is Michael Dell. Tim Apple's not that crazy. He should just change his name to Tim Apple. Tim Apple is arguably a better name. Although Tim Cook, it's Tim Cook, right? Yeah. You could be like, oh, dude, just let Tim Cook.
Starting point is 00:00:57 Just let him cook, dude. Okay. Okay. Yeah, I'm sorry. Hey, everybody. Hi, Dylan Chivary. How are you doing? I'm here, too. I'm doing pretty good. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry. Hey, everybody. Hi, Dylan Chivary. How are you doing? I'm here, too.
Starting point is 00:01:06 I'm doing pretty good. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah? I'm doing pretty good. Sick. Yeah, glad to be here, man. It's going to be a good week of content, I think.
Starting point is 00:01:14 The year is wrapping up, folks. Did you see it's podcast week? Is it podcast week again? Hold on, let me check my calendar real quick. No, it is. I'm confirming. Oh, shit. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:22 I have it right here. That's crazy. Finally, man. I finally got here. I've been waiting, yeah. I have it right here. That's crazy. Finally, man. I finally got here. I've been waiting for it. Couldn't come soon enough. Like I said, it's going to be a good week of content. I'm excited.
Starting point is 00:01:33 There's a lot of these companies out there that are just really mailing it in these days. They're like, you know what? It's the holiday season. We don't really need to worry about us. Not us. Not us, man. No, dude. We're here.
Starting point is 00:01:41 We're out here balling. We out here. We'll be going live on Christmas. We will? Nah. We're not doing that? We shouldn't do it. We've got to take the day off.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Should we all sleep in the same place on Christmas and wake up and do presents and stuff? Fort and Dillon's. Let's go. Let's go. I put lights up yesterday. Really? Like outside lights? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:00 How'd it go? Well, full disclosure, I had someone else do it, but it went well. Okay, that's very different. Okay. You literally said, I put lights up. Can I ask what you paid? Randy, run the tape. What'd you pay, brother?
Starting point is 00:02:11 I paid between $5 and $200. Somewhere in there. My guy, my guy who's done it the last three years, is exceptionally cheap compared to some of the people who quoted me at like $1,100. What? Dude, when I was calling around. Now, granted, I called in December, so I was a little bit late. And they wanted me.
Starting point is 00:02:34 I got like $900, $1,100. They were just gouging. So I went to Home Depot to purchase the lights. And I posted the story story you can see it at D chivalry I keep thinking about this reindeer that I did not end up purchasing but it is 10 feet tall what so why didn't you purchase this because it's $200 basically oh and that's a lot of money for something that sits in your yard for you know a month out of the year four weeks out of the year but it
Starting point is 00:03:04 is dope and it is massive and I don't have a big front yard. Does it have lights on it, the reindeer? No, but it's inflatable. Yeah. Oh, it's an inflatable reindeer. It's inflatable, and it is massive. I mean, it's 10 feet tall, Dave. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:21 And probably 10 feet wide as well. It's a big boy. And I keep thinking about it so much that I'll be surprised if I don't go back and buy it. I won't be surprised, but I'll be disappointed if I don't get it. Or if I do get it. The former. Okay. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:03:39 It's so dope. So Sally's mom was at our apartment this morning. And she had not been over to our apartment since we decorated for Christmas. She looked at our tree, and all she said to me was, it's higher than what Dylan rated it. I said, yes, thank you. Oh, man. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:03:56 No one likes my ratings. No one. You know, you had an absolute thick boy on your timeline this weekend that deserves the rating that it got. Oh, the 9.4? Yes. That was one of the best ones I've ever seen. Folks, that's a Christmas tree.
Starting point is 00:04:10 I almost acted up. I almost gave it a higher score. Yeah. But you've got to leave room for improvement. Got to. You can't give someone a 10. I don't know. I've done some backer-submitted beer reviews, and I have to say, they've all been 10s out of 10s.
Starting point is 00:04:24 A 10 means it can't get better. That's the top of the top. Didn't you give a white Christmas tree like a 9.2 yesterday? No, of course not. What did you give that one? Are you talking about Pete Blackburn's? No, I thought it was, wasn't it Debbie, Ross's mom? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:04:41 I'm very confused. Oh, that thread, there's a picture that you're missing in that thread. Because Serena said, oh, look, my tree's fake. And Debbie said, oh, it's okay, so is mine. And she actually included a picture, too. And that one was a really nice tree, but a fake one. Pete Blackburn's tree looks like a Christmas tree ornament that you would put on your Christmas tree. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:04 If that makes any sense. It's totally not my style. I don't hate it. I know that it's some people's style. I agree with you. His tree was not something that I would want in my place, but if I walked into somebody else's place and saw that, I'm like, damn, you're a Christmas person.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Yeah, that's a good tree. You're a Christmas person. Yeah. Yeah, I enjoyed it. Yeah. He has footie on the TV as well. He did have some footie on the TV. Sneaky footie.
Starting point is 00:05:22 He made the classic amateur mistake of sending it to me. The picture was taken during the day. Guys, this is the easiest way to get – I mean, I guess I can't really talk because my rating was tanked by Dylan. But, like, yeah, why are you sending daytime pics? You need the glow. You're better than that. Did he not follow up with the nighttime? Not that I saw.
Starting point is 00:05:40 I'm going to hit him with the Caddyshack, Jeff. Well. Yeah, that's the one. We all – That's the one. We all. That's the one. Thank you, everybody. To pull the curtain back inside my brain right now, I'm getting so many submissions that it's kind of taking away from my Twitter experience a little bit. And I know I brought this on myself.
Starting point is 00:05:59 I can't really complain about it. My interactions are too high. But, I mean, yesterday alone I got probably 60 to 80 submissions, and I just can't do them all, folks. Is this the time when people are putting up their trees the most? People are – Ornaments are on, and the full display is going on. So, yeah, it's time.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Should we do a happy hour live this week and just raid some trees? I don't hate the idea. Just knock a bunch out at once. I don't hate the idea. Just knock a bunch out at once? I don't hate the idea. Yeah. Wow. I think we should. Wow.
Starting point is 00:06:28 We can talk about it off the mic. I think Brett Merriman spelled with a Y because you're merry. That's good. And bright. Something we haven't brought up today, not even before we started recording, is that Brett is doing a cocky move today of wearing the scarf just over the sweater. I'm just not noticing your scarf. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:42 I'm sorry. It's a scurf, actually, Don. It's a scurf. Scurf. Scurf. It's going to be 70. That's why I didn't do anything but the sweater. I'm just not noticing your scarf. I'm sorry. It's a scurf, actually, Don. It's a scurf. It's going to be 70. That's why I didn't do anything but the scarf, Dave. I went light sweater, scarf only, no overcoat. So it's warm in the morning, but versatile in the afternoon.
Starting point is 00:06:58 I respect that. Judge Smale's face in this gif is just next level, like, dick cat. If you want to argue that he's the best character in Caddyshack. He crushed it. I may not agree, but I will listen to your argument and I'll take it into consideration. Well, who's the best what? A great job. Denunzio? Not Denunzio.
Starting point is 00:07:17 It's Denunzio. Is it Chevy? It's Rodney Dangerfield. Fair. Comedic relief. Fair. Pete Blackburn already followed up there. was quick quick on that one yeah and i have to say the tree this went up a point on my rating system which i don't disclose it's a fantastic tree should we get some programming notes out of the way i suppose okay
Starting point is 00:07:40 uh first and foremost this is a weird one for everybody you guys prepared for this brett and i did the undertaking on thursday of switching over our podcast network where we host First and foremost, this is a weird one for everybody Are you guys prepared for this? Brett and I did the undertaking on Thursday Of switching over our podcast network Where we host our podcasts All the hosts that host the podcast are the same But the place where we host the files is different Correct If you're out there and you're listening on something else today
Starting point is 00:07:58 Because this episode didn't show up on what you normally listen to Let us know We want to make sure it's out there on everything you have If you need something else, just hit us with a DM. Let us know when we need to submit it. We just want to make sure that it's everywhere that it can possibly be. So just let us know. There's a bunch of random podcast providers out there that I don't even know about. Okay. Also watchedmedia.shop doing it. So many products, literally hundreds of products on there. Well, we've pared it down a little bit Okay Okay that's fine
Starting point is 00:08:25 Just our best sellers at this point Literally tens of products on there There's still a hundred Okay that works Yeah But we took it down from like 700 I got lost on that On our shop page
Starting point is 00:08:35 There's a lot going on I didn't even know I was like oh shit we have this It took me a long time to find the beanies Which are like really dope Yeah They're super dope You mean the toques
Starting point is 00:08:44 Yeah the toques? Yeah, the toques. Toques. Were you right about that? Somebody called me out and said any winter hat in Canada can be considered a toque. You were in the ballpark of being right. I don't think, I don't know if I agree with them. I'm going to give you a pass. I think you're right enough.
Starting point is 00:08:59 I had never heard the word until this season. Okay. I saw someone use it in a description of something and I thought to myself, what the hell is that? Went and looked it up. What I looked up was what you said. Thank you. So I would have argued that the person who said you were wrong is incorrect. And I think you and I are pretty much – you and I are kind of like we're almost Canadian.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Like we're close. Yeah, we could – I don't know who's actually closer. You're closer than Brett, I think. Well, Brett went to boarding school and stuff, and I didn't. I went to a public school in the north, so... Geographically, I believe you got me. Is a boarding school a thing in Canada? No, I just...
Starting point is 00:09:35 No, they go to prep school. I feel like they all have Dave Doe public schools. Just Google Imaging, Toque, gives you a wide array of winter hats, some with the little palm on top, some without. So you're right enough. Well, they're on there. Watchmedia.shop. You lucked out this time, buddy.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Clean it up, though. Sunday Scary Scandal is also still available. But most importantly, guys, go mash that follow button at Circling Back Pod. Just go do it. We got a dope gram off with Dave and Rosie this past weekend. She was having herself a day. Yep. Yep.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Until the bar wouldn't let her have a day anymore. Yeah. What was that about? I don't know. They kicked Rosie out? No, they didn't kick her out. Cut her off. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:14 She was getting a little too drunk. She had a couple holiday beers that were higher ABV than we originally anticipated. Jeez. She had to go. But yeah, go check out Circling Back Pod. Also, leave a review or five star rating this week on Patreon
Starting point is 00:10:27 we're doing Wednesday Bachelor episodes as well as our Friday voicemails and twitch.tv slash watch media are we are we
Starting point is 00:10:35 I don't hate the idea of us finally doing a tree rating for a happy hour live I think we should pencil this in it's probably time it's been a minute
Starting point is 00:10:42 since the happy hour live if there's ever a week for it is this week y'all get to finally raise some trees. Pretty excited to unveil my proprietary rating system. But you have a system. I do. Well, there's already a system in place, David.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Well, I don't. You know, it's kind of like the metric system. You're the metric system. I'm USA. Well, the metric is the superior system. Well, it's not. We use it here. And the world's on the dollar.
Starting point is 00:11:03 It's true. For now. Until it goes entirely crypto. That's my finance minute. Booyah, Jim. I'll be honest. I don't understand why we're not metric system people. It makes sense. I don't get it.
Starting point is 00:11:15 It seems to be the thing that people are doing. It just seems way tighter. It's just measured by tens. It's just tighter to go faster in the car. It's like, dude, I'm going so fast right now. Don't you keep your car in kilometers per hour dude i wish that'd be so that would be really annoying that'd be that's like when i whenever i see someone who like isn't military and they've got like military time on their phone i'm like all right i'll see you at uh 1800 yeah it's like
Starting point is 00:11:38 okay yeah cool dude valor stealer oh we're doing shots sick dude you can count to 24 cool i think i tried to do it like on my Blackberry at one point. It just made it really hard to tell the time. I was like, I can't do math every single time
Starting point is 00:11:49 I look at a fucking clock after one o'clock. Yeah. 1,300 hours. Get out of here. I tried to do battery this weekend with no percentage
Starting point is 00:11:57 to it. That sucks on your phone, you know? Yeah, why would you do that? Because I thought it looked cleaner. And it does, but it's infuriating.
Starting point is 00:12:04 You know? I can't even remember the last time my phone died. I just don't use it enough. Wow. You've got to pull down the thing to see it now. Look at you. Access to all the electrical outlets. Just pull it down, but you can see it.
Starting point is 00:12:15 It must be nice. Dude, it's your boy. I didn't know that. It's your boy. I'm thinking about getting one of those charging pads like Dylan has. How do you not have one? The wireless one? Because I use the cord that comes free with the phone, Dylan. Dude, they're like $9, and they're incredible. Charging pads like Dylan has. How do you not have one? The wireless one?
Starting point is 00:12:27 Because I use the cord that comes free with the phone, Dylan. Dude, they're like $9 and they're incredible. Okay. Get like four of them. I'm sorry. Not all of us own the majority of the company, Dylan. Oh, yeah. That tenth of a percent. I'm going to get the power pad and play the track and field game on Nintendo.
Starting point is 00:12:42 You can do that if you want. That game sucked. I'm thinking Rumble Pack. Yeah, the charging pad. You can do that if you want. That game sucked. I'm thinking Rumble Pack. Yeah, the charging pad. You can vibrate for the first time. The power pad, you just laid it out in front of your TV and then tried to run on it and it never really synced up. It was trash. Can we recap this Christmas party in fun?
Starting point is 00:13:02 Yeah. I've been waiting to talk Christmas party for a while. Mainly because I don't really remember how it ended, so I would like to get some intel from the squad. Well, yeah, so this is presented by Postmates. Let's go. Postmates
Starting point is 00:13:18 is family at this point. If you're like us, you start thinking about what to eat for dinner before you even eat lunch. I'm not going to lie. I've already been thinking about it today, and based on the parking situation where I want to get dinner from tonight, it might just be easier to Postmate it. I love food, but sometimes getting into my kitchen and cooking something delicious to eat doesn't make it onto my to-do list. I'm lazy.
Starting point is 00:13:36 But that's why I've been loving Postmates. With Postmates, you can get food delivered without leaving the house or even opening your front door. With the current state of the world in mind, Postmates created non-contact deliveries. So when you order from local restaurants, everything gets left right on your doorstep. And the app lets you know when it's been delivered. And you don't even have to just get burgers and sushi and stuff like that. You can order anything from toilet paper to phone chargers.
Starting point is 00:13:55 Let's go. Phone pads. Even phone pads. That's big for the squad. At places like Walgreens, 7-Eleven, wherever. All Postmates will do is drop it off right outside your front door. And the only way to do it is just by downloading Postmates on iOS or Android. Find your favorite places and get anything you want delivered within the hour.

Oh, yes. Thank you for asking, Will.
Starting point is 00:14:40 So Friday we had our little annual Christmas dinner, the Wash Media Christmas dinner. This year we went to Perry's Steakhouse. Fantastic. The Merriman Christmas Cocktail Hour, did I get that right? Yeah, you nailed it. MCCH? Yep, MCCH. It was canceled this year, so we just met up at the bar there and quickly found out
Starting point is 00:15:02 that Will was already three-quarters of a bottle of wine deep when he showed up. Nice. So I'll say this. I'll say this. Okay. 7.45 dinnertime on a day when I truly had nothing to do felt really late to me. And so I started getting a little antsy and a little bored. And so what did I do? I was like, well, I'm already kind of getting dressed up a little bit.
Starting point is 00:15:27 I'm feeling a little swanky. I got some Christmas jazz playing. So I decided to pour myself a glass of wine. Well, I finished that glass of wine in like a half hour. And then like, then it was 630. And I was like, okay, here's another one. And then the more I thought about it, the more I just realized I probably didn't eat much after lunch that day. So I was just kind of drinking some glasses of wine on an empty stomach, and I showed up hot. You did. I was in a good mood. Luckily, I was sitting directly across from you at dinner, so I had a front row seat to the Will show, and it was fun. We were flirting with Will at Matt's O'Rancho Territory.
Starting point is 00:16:03 No, no. The infamous. No, no, no, Will. We were flirting with it. You were knocking on the door. No, no. The infamous. No, no, no, Will. We were flirting with it. You were knocking on the door. No, no. Yeah. No, it was fine.
Starting point is 00:16:11 At one point, you got up to, I think, use the restroom, and you stumbled back in the wall. Luckily, there was a pillar behind you or something, and it caught you. I was like, oh, yeah, this is going to be a good one. This is going to be a good night. I think Dave saw it, but when I got up to go to the bathroom at one point, I hooked my foot on Sally's chair, and it really could have gone very poorly. There could have been a seafood tower just flying through the air.
Starting point is 00:16:35 I had a flashback to Matt's El Rancho like five years ago when you – it was like post-Texas game or something. No, I think we went to a crawfish boil. Oh, post-crawfish boil. And there was like three steps that go down to their back patio. And Will like stopped at the top and like looked at us. And we had a table right by it. And we all just kind of were looking at him.
Starting point is 00:16:54 And he starts walking down the stairs. And he just slowly stumbled. It was like a controlled demolition of you. Just slowly stumbled into the metal chair. And it just scraped across the stone. You're one of those people who when you're really drunk, your face tells the whole story. It tells the whole story.
Starting point is 00:17:11 You can diagnose it in half a second. A lot of smiles. Your eyes, man. They don't know what they're doing, really. What didn't help was that I came in hot and I probably could have just had a glass of water and maintained. What did you drink at dinner? Actually, I was told three martinis and some wine.
Starting point is 00:17:29 And then some wine. Yeah. It was almost much worse because there was a mix-up. I know. And you almost had the very rare and never recommended Blanton's and martini. Ooh. Double fist. I accidentally ordered two drinks because they took a long time
Starting point is 00:17:45 to bring our drinks and so I was like, okay, I'll just do one of these. And then you reminded the waiter that we ordered drinks like 20 minutes ago and he was like, oh yeah, I'll go get some more.
Starting point is 00:17:55 And it was like, oh yeah, Will almost just had like straight diesel fuel sitting in front of him and that would have been even worse. Yeah, that would have been bad. What? I was going to,
Starting point is 00:18:04 I need to apologize to Will I feel like this is on me You get around the bullets sometimes Will And it's just We take it And I didn't have the Merriman Christmas Cocktail Hour Had we had the Merriman Christmas Cocktail Hour You would have had some appetizers
Starting point is 00:18:20 And you were expecting We had to postpone it So that's on me For not having the MCCH where you could have had maybe a Christmas ale or a glass of wine instead of like – If I would have had some appetizers in the game, I think this whole night pans out way differently than it did. That being said, the only silver lining of this is that because of COVID and stuff,
Starting point is 00:18:39 we didn't really have the option to go to bars or anything after. So I don't really feel like I missed out on that much. No, you missed the last like 20 minutes, which was just winding down. It was basically us watching Randy box up the leftovers. Yeah. All of them. All of the leftovers. Sally did do a good move, and she did steal some potatoes all gratin for your boy so I
Starting point is 00:18:57 could have him the next day. They didn't have T-bone on the menu, which, of course, T-bone was not pleased. He's literally shaking his head right now. So he has to wait. He's like, you guys don't have T-Bone? And he goes, no, we've got bone-in ribeye or something like that. And Ray's like, okay, I'll have that. He wanted something with bone in it is all he needed, really.
Starting point is 00:19:15 Big bone guy. What'd you go with? I got the pork chop. I know you did. It was incredible. I know you did. It was hilariously large. Yeah, I left over his last night, and it was two full-ass meals.
Starting point is 00:19:25 It was fantastic. So we put up a poll on Twitter asking who was going to come through with the most drip. It's between these two. No offense to you, Will. You looked great. No, no, no, no. To be honest, to be honest, I mailed in my fit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:40 Brett had on a high-end. It wasn't a tacky Christmas sweater. It was clearly a Christmas sweater. It was a Dalet. Excuse me? It was a Dalet. What does that word mean? It's made in Norway.
Starting point is 00:19:56 It's Norwegian. It's Norwegian. Okay. Shout out to Victor Hovland. Yes. Dave had on a sport coat. They looked sharp. Davevland. Yes. Dave had on like a sport coat. They look sharp. Dave looked sharp.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Yeah. Brett looked like he was there to wreck a Christmas party. Yes. And that was the difference. Like if we were going solely on like who looked like the sharpest, most bespoke person there. Yeah. It's your boy Dave. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:18 But when Brett came through with that sweater, I couldn't believe my eyes when I walked up to the bar. Yeah. Looked great. I was very happy about that. Looked great. He was wronged in the poll though because he was sharing with Randy. I couldn't believe my eyes when I walked up to the bar. Yeah, it looked great. I was very happy about that. It looked great. He was wronged in the poll, though, because he was sharing with Randy. I know.
Starting point is 00:20:28 I didn't know how to... There's no other way to do it. I didn't know how to structure it because I didn't want to leave anybody out, but at the same time, I was like, you know, you can't do five voting options, so I was like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:20:37 I'm going to combine these two, and Brett took it home. I had to deliver. You know, I was going to run back to the turtleneck, but then I was like, oh, somebody's going to wear turtlenecks, and nobody ended up wearing them. Did we go no turtlenecks across the board?
Starting point is 00:20:49 No turtleneck across the board. No turts. I'm fucking embarrassed. No turts. I know. But when I found that Christmas sweater, it really just is a sweater. It wasn't cold enough for a turtleneck, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:03 It was pretty chilly. I need sub 50. Yeah. Was it? It was pretty chilly. I need sub-50. Yeah. Was it not? I feel like it was like 52. Yeah. Look, I got a code, okay? Anyway, the rest of my weekend, I just hung out with Parks.
Starting point is 00:21:14 COVID, stayed home, didn't do much. Just chilled, put up. Well, we had Christmas lights put up. We enjoyed that. Stop saying that you put up your own Christmas lights. Took Stella on walks and just chilled. That's pretty much it. Well, I did something similar to what you did, only apparently I didn't go as hard.
Starting point is 00:21:31 I showered at like 5.30 for some reason. And I could have just put on like my sweats that I normally just hang out around the house in and then change. I just got all the way dressed up and I was like ready to go at 6 o'clock. Yeah. And Alyssa's like, you're going to just hang out? What? We should have had the MCC. Yes.
Starting point is 00:21:50 I was so excited for it. I texted Brett the night before, and I said, Brett, what's the RSVP list looking like, and what can I bring? And then I get a text later that night that just says it's canceled, and I was just. Oh, Brett, I wouldn't have got a cocktail before going to the restaurant. You're joking. Oh, no, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:22:04 I thought you were the one that was up in the air on it. I was kind of up in the air. Everybody was. And I was like, ah. I had not given you any kind of indication one way or the other, which is pretty classic. But so I hung out, and I was like, you know what? I'm dressed up.
Starting point is 00:22:20 I'm feeling good. I've got my loafers on. I'm going to pour a drink. And you know me. I've dabbled into the world of bourbon lately. No, you're a bourbon guy. Well, you know. And I poured one up.
Starting point is 00:22:34 And then I realized if I have another one, it's going to be a problem. So I think I ate a kind bar or something. Oh, yeah. You were much more responsible. I should also mention that in my drunken state, accidentally put the meal on my card I love that you did that my own credit card oh thank you Dylan yeah odds you don't remedy this come on dude you just wanted the points I swear it was just a natural like reach for the card I always use situation.
Starting point is 00:23:05 What's the Venn diagram of points guy and bourbon guy? Oh. Oh. I feel like there's a lot of bourbon guys who are really into points. New driver every December guy in that same – like has to have the latest stuff guy. Latest and greatest? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Like – Yeah. I'm trying to think of the right way to put it that's it we'll come back to that yeah we can we'll workshop it yeah saturday um went and did uh there's a new spot called easy tiger it's not new but it's a new location highly recommended if you're visiting austin south lamar area. It's essentially all outdoors. They have a sick view of the Greenbelt. That is Greenbelt, right? Yeah. I never know. You're correct.
Starting point is 00:23:51 And it's a good spot. Good beer list. Good coffee. Really good food. And I had a couple beers. Had a Bloody Mary. You got a gram off. I got a gram off. That's a hot gram. What's that called? The Irish coffee? That's what I was drinking there.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Good for you. Oh, yes. Irish, I remembered. Oh, David. I do remember it was an Irish coffee. Yeah. There's a knock on Easy Tiger, though. What?
Starting point is 00:24:14 It's a pretty egregious knock, if I do say so myself. They don't have TVs. You know what? I don't mind it. I don't mind it. You need one on mute somewhere. The only reason I don't mind it is because I one on mute somewhere. I don't, the only reason I don't mind it is because I've, I've just kind of ignored football this year. Why? Uh, because, uh, Michigan
Starting point is 00:24:32 is, uh, 30 point underdogs to Ohio state. If that tells you how that season's going, uh, the lions just fired everybody. And so that's very chill as well. Stafford went off yesterday and, uh, watching Texas ain't as fun as it used to be. So I've just kind of taken a step back. That's who I am now. You just enjoy spending time and paying attention to your friends and family. Exactly. As opposed to being stared at the TV guy.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Exactly. No, they could use a couple there. Even if you're watching a footy game with a beer on a Saturday morning. It's a perfect spot for that. They have a cool little, I don't know if that with a beer on a Saturday morning like it's a perfect spot for that they have a cool little I don't know
Starting point is 00:25:08 if that's a beer garden what do you call that little area right across the way a beer garden it's just got picnic tables and a tree
Starting point is 00:25:15 or two a lot of dogs beautiful oak a lot of dogs a lot of beautiful babies beautiful too or so I hear yeah
Starting point is 00:25:24 I wasn't there. Yeah. Yeah, you didn't show up. You didn't even like respond saying like, no, I'm out. Yes, I did. I said, I'm sitting this one out. I must have not gotten your text. You should go to the Apple store.
Starting point is 00:25:33 That's because we went to go see Hayley and Kendall down in San Marcos. That's why I didn't go. Shout out to the listener that did a drive-by. What's up, Will? On our way out. Yeah, I got gassed up twice on Saturday. Very cool. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Very cool. Let's go. Yeah. Shout out to the dude at Matt's All Rancho as well. Wow. Yes, I joined Dave at Easy Tiger. I decided that, you know, I had not had a hangover like that in a little bit.
Starting point is 00:25:54 And so I decided that it would make sense to have kind of one of those lethargic afternoons where you just sit at a bar and nurse beers for a little bit. And that's what we did. Very much enjoyed it. I will say, I probably didn't need to have more beers at that point, a bar and nurse beers for a little bit and uh that's what we did very much enjoyed it uh i will say i probably didn't need to to have more beers at that point but it felt good and then uh yesterday just had a trademark sunday woke up watched a little f1 i know dilly was online i watched some
Starting point is 00:26:18 f1 yeah very fun entertaining f1 day uh and then sally won. She really solidified herself as wife of the year yesterday by just, she just made my favorite coffee cake. She made some chai tea and I was just sitting there chilling, just having a Sunday on the couch. It was just perfect. Very happy. Guess what I did yesterday? What? I did a roast in the instant pot. Like a pot roast? Oh yeah. I did a roast in the Instant Pot. Like a pot roast? Oh, yeah. What'd you put in that pot roast?
Starting point is 00:26:46 Carrots. Onions. Big-ass piece of meat. You got any picks? Bone broth. You don't have to send the picks out, but I would like to see it, because you know how much I like pot roasts. I didn't take picks. I don't want to see picks anyway.
Starting point is 00:26:57 I wasn't going to show you. Don't you microwave your pot roast? Mm-hmm. I put it in the toaster. He boils it. But it's that time of year, man. Yeah. You know I jump the gun every single year on my pot roast.
Starting point is 00:27:14 I might have to get one off tonight. Yep. I might go to the store right after this. Might roast some pot. Very chill. Freaking drugs, man. Hell yeah, let's go Dude that's sick
Starting point is 00:27:26 Anyone else do anything tight this weekend? Man I went to a new spot Shuts to Meanwhile Brewing Company In East Austin Brand spanking new It's cool Very cool Is it a beer garden?
Starting point is 00:27:38 Good atmosphere We'll see about it It's a brewery Brew pub But they don't have It's not a pub Because they're food trucks So it's just a brewery, brew pub, but they don't have a pub because they're food trucks, so it's just a brewery with an extremely large seating area.
Starting point is 00:27:51 You had good weather yesterday for that. It was about as good as you can get. Caroline and I hit the range, which means I hit the range. She had swing sticks? She filmed me. I was going to say, what's her handicap? No, you made her film you? What's wrong with you?
Starting point is 00:28:07 I'm on a swing journey, Will. Everybody knows that. At the Kaiser range? Yeah. Oh, God. I'm going to buy you a tripod for your iPhone for Christmas. It's on my Christmas list. I'm not joking.
Starting point is 00:28:18 I kind of want one for home. What are you going to do with it? What are you filming? I don't know. Just for happy hours or something like that. I feel like we could structure something where I could, like, look better on camera. After Dave got his ring light, I've just been in my own head that I look like shit. Because you sit on the floor.
Starting point is 00:28:34 If you knew the court situation of my living room, it's not great. I'm not sure what our apartment was thinking when they installed the outlets, but they didn't do a good job. Oh, do you want to talk about my apartment real quick? I mentioned this before the pod. Someone parked at my spot yesterday. Got home from the grocery store. So now they're at the tow yard trying to get it back? No.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Out of the Christmas spirit, I decided to throw them a bone, left them a note on their car saying, hey, if you could please remove it, it would be great. But out of the giving season, I decided to let this person live. You gave the gift of no tow. Yeah. I gave them the gift of not having to pay a bunch of money to get their car back. You saved that person $400.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Now, how much is it? It's probably about that. It's two something these days. And they make you pay. I don't know if they still do this. They make you pay in cash only. How is that even legal? They're the scummiest of scumbag.
Starting point is 00:29:21 No, that's like restaurants when they tell you that they don't take American Express. They take American Express. They take American Express. They just don't want to eat the extra percentage. Is it the same thing? No. It's like a dollar. Isn't it like a dollar? But it's like, you know, when you go, like, I mean, Brett knows this from being in New York.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Like, all these bodegas and stuff, they'll be like, no. No Amex. Or they'll say, like, oh, no, you have a minimum. Yeah. Yeah. They don't have minimums that is not a thing if credit card companies knew that these that places do that like they can get it actually removed from their their system so if anyone ever tells you when you're hung over wanting a gatorade dylan that you can't get your gatorade because you don't have five dollars
Starting point is 00:29:57 you can get that gatorade you just go care and be like i'm calling visa right now bitch yeah damn dude don't do that I've never done that I made my own queso yesterday too That was solid Out of Velveeta Out of Velveeta Yeah just to be clear here It was fantastic
Starting point is 00:30:14 I Yeah I just didn't want you to like Act like you were making like a Bob Armstrong No no no It was It was trash queso That was phenomenal I will say this
Starting point is 00:30:22 Velveeta Queso absolutely slaps. Oh yeah. It's so good. Oh yeah. Caroline juiced it up a little bit. She did some onions. She did some garlic in there too. It slapped. Then we did burgers.
Starting point is 00:30:38 I don't really do burgers on my stove a lot. I'm usually a grill guy. But our grill closed at 6 last night. So I had to stove top them. I'm usually a grill guy, but our grill closed at 6 last night, so I had to stove top them. Pretty good. I don't hate the stove top burger every once in a while. I can deal with that. It's fine. I don't have a cast iron skillet, though.
Starting point is 00:30:53 So there were like cheap skillet, target skillet burgers. You need a cast iron skillet, though. I know. I might have one I can give you, Brett. No kitchen is complete without a cast iron skillet. Iron?
Starting point is 00:31:07 Can I give an unsolicited recommendation? Industry. You guys ready for this? No, not industry. Industry is actually better than I thought it was. But I will say, the best episode of television that I have watched all year, and I'm reserving other takes on this because it might be bigger, is the surprise episode of Euphoria that they dropped.
Starting point is 00:31:23 One of the heaviest things of television I've ever seen. One of the best acting jobs I've seen out of two people that are sitting there and just acting their dicks off. Amazing performances. If you are into Euphoria... I thought that show was trash. This show is overwhelming, and it's a lot, and it's
Starting point is 00:31:39 kind of this outlandish show about kids in high school that definitely don't live like their kids in high school. But the holiday episode that they dropped was incredible. Really? It's very, very, very, very heavy. They paid for some serious Twitter promotion as well. Dude, it's good. Because they are popping up on my TL.
Starting point is 00:31:56 It's very good. I was shocked. I watched it after hanging out with Dave on Saturday, and Sally was like, are you all right? I was like, this is emotional, Sally. I had to put the headies on. Damn fool. Listen solo.
Starting point is 00:32:07 Just an unsolicited recommendation out there. Okay. Yeah. But also industry. Oh yeah. Industry's been fun. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Industry's been fun. One of the horniest shows I've ever watched. I started watching that Alien doc that Dave recommended. You need to stick it out until the end
Starting point is 00:32:22 because there is the last 20 minutes are absolutely compelling. I fell asleep with 30 minutes to go so I can't wait to stick it out until the end because the last 20 minutes are absolutely compelling. I fell asleep with 30 minutes to go, so I can't wait to finish it tonight. You've got something to look forward to. I've got an hour left. I fell asleep about 20 minutes in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:35 They're out there. I mean, it's all but confirmed. It's called The Fun Phenomenon. Yeah. Did you watch it on Amazon? Yeah. $5 rental. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:49 I was surprised by that. I wasn't ready for that. Did you buy it? I own it now. Why? I don't know. Because Dave only pays $20 for his rentals, dude. Will, how did you not get mixed up in Bodega?
Starting point is 00:33:01 Speaking of Bodega, is Bodega a tweet? Because I don't subscribe to even remotely acting like I would ever like to live in New York or anything like that like the person who wrote that is so New York
Starting point is 00:33:12 that I don't even want to involve myself with them like what's their problem why are they acting like you can't buy all that shit everywhere like I see the CVS around the corner yeah
Starting point is 00:33:22 have they ever been to the fucking Valero by my apartment? You can literally buy anything there. I don't know anything about this. Don't act like your bodegas are so special. The Valero by my apartment has everything I would ever need in life, including burger supplies. This tweet did very well for her. But it also sparked a bodega debate on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:33:39 I was trying to follow it, and I was like, man, this isn't for me. I don't know. What is the actual definition of a bodega from someone who's lived in New York? Oh, here we go. Ooh. I don't know how you exactly – you know it when you see it type of thing. I'm going to classify a bodega as a very tightly packed corner store where the door is always open. There's one guy that works the counter every single day.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Who knows you. Yeah, maybe that's what – to have a bodega, you need to have somebody at the counter 24-7. That's the same guy. He's a doorman who you know. Like there's no shifts at the bodega. It's the guy. So the Valero – our Valero is essentially a bodega because the guy who I talk to there, I talk to him every single time I'm there.
Starting point is 00:34:28 He's the guy. He's the guy. A Hispanic-Spanish-Latin mini-mark, kind of like a 7-Eleven, but usually smaller and more like a liquor store atmosphere. I don't know what that means. Commonly used term on the East Coast, especially in New York City, where you will find many of these. The word came from the actual Spanish word for grocery store La Bodega. There you go.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Thank you Urban Dictionary. Yeah I just feel like the word's thrown out a lot. It's like a cool thing for like if you move from your Midwest town to like Brooklyn. It's like you can
Starting point is 00:35:01 low-key buy weed at some of them too. Low-key? No you're thinking a half-baked. Dylan, New York now though you can like you can Uber-key buy weed at some of them, too. Low-key? No, you're thinking a half-baked. Dylan, New York now, though, you can Uber weed to your apartment now. There's apps for that.
Starting point is 00:35:11 It's crazy. It's not like it used to be. And Bodega is another qualification. It can't be a freestanding structure. It has to be in the bottom of a building or a corner. Ooh, like at the bottom of an apartment building? Isn't that just everything in New York? Yes, 100%. Basically, there's no-
Starting point is 00:35:26 Unless you're a hot dog, or a glizzy stand on the street. Yeah. Thank you for correcting hot dog to glizzy. I don't know why I said hot dog. What a stupid word. You freaking idiot. Oh, there's always a cat, too.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Yeah. Oh, yeah. Good call. That's a good call. That makes sense. I think I nailed that. Yeah. I mean, I should.
Starting point is 00:35:43 You probably did. There's probably going to be some New Yorkers that come at you. And they're going to be like, oh, Brett's not a real New Yorker. They're going to be like, you can get bagels. No, that's a bagel shop, not a bodega. Bodegas are like jewel pods and Gatorade and cats. Boner pills. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:58 There's usually like weed, you know, like bongs. Not bongs, but like bowls on the counter, too. Sick. Yeah. Very chill. They're like 50 bucks. You're like, that's not $50. I'm not going to buy this.
Starting point is 00:36:10 I'm going to go to a head shop. Yeah. Hey, this holiday season. I didn't start it there. This holiday season. You guys remember this? May your home be filled with joy. May your butthole be as clean as fresh, driven snow.

Starting point is 00:38:23 Ooh, is that a new segment? Welcome to the doghouse? It is today. We need DMX to just bark us into this. Hoof. Hoof. Hoof. I mean, I don't...
Starting point is 00:38:36 Yeah, where do you want to start? How do we start this? What's the pet clone situation here? People be cloning pets. Dylan, I'm glad you asked. Was watching Sunday Night Football last night and then a commercial popped on and this woman appeared with
Starting point is 00:38:49 her pet, Chloe. She was a dog. But Chloe was very old and she basically said, well, Chloe's going to die soon. So I still want Chloe after she dies. So instead of doing, you know, like a taxidermy thing, which would have been weird, or
Starting point is 00:39:05 burials, she cloned her. This isn't really a new development, right? People have been cloning their pets for a minute. Is that correct? It's hard to say. I know Clooney's been around for a minute, but I didn't know there was a commercially viable... George Clooney?
Starting point is 00:39:23 This has got to be the first... I mean, they're marketing now. Yes. Like, I didn't know. I knew the technology was there, like, at least 15 years ago. You guys are way more in tune with the status of pet cloning compared to me. I've seen it happen before. I've seen it happen before. But if they're, like, actually offering this service, that's a development.
Starting point is 00:39:41 Oh, yeah. In the cloning world. Shots to Viagin Pets, non-spawned. Do you want to guess how much a dog cloning is? By the way, what we're saying is you can clone your pet so you have a genetically identical pet again. Yes. The same pet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:57 But it just keeps living. Yeah. You don't put it in a chamber and then all of a sudden another four-year-old Rosie runs out. No, no, no. You have to do the puppy thing still. The whole big thing. But to clone your dog, Dylan, what's it going to run you? 25K is my guess.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Will? Oh, 30K. Dave. I think I said 35 before the pod. I'm sticking with it. Dave is the winner by default because it's $50,000 to clone your dog. To clone your cat, it's $35,000. And to clone your horse, Dylan, $85,000. What about to clone your human?
Starting point is 00:40:34 Yeah, can we get another homie? Everybody wants that. There can only be one. Is it? Okay. The technology has to be there. Is it ethics where it comes down to the human thing, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:47 OK. So I just have so many questions because I don't understand how this actually works. My questions are mostly about what this leads to in the future. Well, but the more immediate question I have is, OK, so say I cough up 50 grand and I'm like, all right, I need Rosie volume two. Yep. I assume I bring her in somewhere and they extract some DNA from her in some way or another. And then what? So there's a test tube that like Rosie grows in.
Starting point is 00:41:13 I think at some point it has to be a dog is impregnated. Okay. I think. They inject the egg. You can't just like grow it in a, you know, artificial incubator. I know. That's what I don't get. Or maybe I'm wrong. I don't just grow it in an incubator. I know. That's what I don't get. Or maybe I'm wrong.
Starting point is 00:41:27 I don't know shit about this. So the brochure says this. Step one, get a cell culture from your pet, and you select a donor cell. So presumably you take DNA, you select a sperm or an egg, and you figure it out that way. Or you select an egg. What? He's looking at me. I don't know uh step number two can
Starting point is 00:41:47 you clone trees with a splinter cell okay what what happens okay what happens when this is available for humans right because let's say dylan let's say it already is let's say someone okay i'm here's i'm going with this let's say someone tragically loses their child you know but has their dna sitting around you can can extract DNA whenever you want, right? Yeah, maybe you can. In preparation for a preemptive measure, like in case something happens to my child, let's collect the DNA and I can have this kid cloned.
Starting point is 00:42:16 I'm with you. Yeah, but that's fucked up. It's crazy. I'm saying that's what it's going to lead to, right? No, I know. Have you seen the Black Mirror episode where someone loses their relative, but then they have their consciousness downloaded so they're still talking to him and shit? That might have been the No, I know. Have you seen the Black Mirror episode where someone loses their relative, but then they have their consciousness downloaded, so they're
Starting point is 00:42:26 still talking to him and shit? That might have been the last one I watched. It rattled me, and I was like, dude, we can't be going down this road. We are. We are. We're on it, baby. There's no way that they can ever make it legal to clone humans. It's gonna happen. I don't know. It's gonna happen.
Starting point is 00:42:41 We already have a population problem. Why do we need more humans? I feel like China is very well advanced. China. Do you want to know part of their marketing strategy? For pets who have died unexpectedly. And they're just like, oh yeah, come by. Swing by with your refrigerated dead pet. That's what I'm saying, man.
Starting point is 00:43:01 You can easily do that with humans as well. Let me just go ahead and I'll say I would not be Even if I had the funding I would not partake in such a thing Are you talking dogs? Humans too obviously I mean it's just like
Starting point is 00:43:15 It's just weird You gotta let life run it's course There can only be one You compare it to the old one you're like rex would have never done that you wouldn't chew that up you know i just don't know like it's not going to be exact right because the the you have your pet's dna and whatever donor so yeah it's not gonna be exact just like twins that are genetically identical or still have different personalities and they don't look exactly the same and shit like that.
Starting point is 00:43:49 And twins. Yeah, thank you, David. How did it take so long to finish? He's just doing jokes all the time, man. How long did it take us to get there? People had us doing twins before the 44-minute mark. Yeah. We've been doing this 44 minutes?
Starting point is 00:44:04 Yeah. Sheesh. Dude, the boys are running today. I've got that kind of like two-day hungover energy going. Yeah? Where it's just kind of just like... Oh, it's going to hit you like tomorrow. No, tomorrow's going to be the day when I feel great.
Starting point is 00:44:15 See, Tuesday's usually the day. Whoop said my recovery today was 98%. I'm 96. So I'm going to go hard on the pellets. I've got a really dumb question. Yeah, okay. Has a human ever been cloned? Ooh. Do we know of? Do you want the official story or I got a really dumb question. Yeah, okay. Has a human ever been cloned? Ooh.
Starting point is 00:44:25 Do we know of? Do you want the official story or do you want the real story? Yeah. I want the real story. Do you know what the internet's going to tell you? Epstein didn't kill himself.
Starting point is 00:44:33 Brett Merriman. Yeah, didn't run. No, Brett, that's his quote. Yeah. That's as drunk as I've been in Austin. I'm sure, like, tests have been done. I mean, sure, it's been done.
Starting point is 00:44:44 It's been kept under wraps, right? Yeah. It's technically possible officially according to genome.gov. I'm not believing the.gov site. I'm not believing the.gov site with this stuff. No solid scientific evidence that anyone has cloned human embryos. But it's possible. Right.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Again, if you look at an emerging superpower and closed-off society such as China, I think you will find that they have done – they may not have actually cloned a human yet, but they have attempted to. Okay. As have we probably. Yeah, definitely. Right? I mean, we're not above cloning a human.
Starting point is 00:45:23 How would you feel if you were a clone, you know? It's like, damn. On your 10th birthday, like, guess what? You're in a, you know, identical to another person that's already been alive. That's just weird. Dude, you know we probably already are because remember we gave our DNA for a sponsor? And remember they lost mine? Yeah, you're a clone.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Yeah, I'm, yeah. Yeah, there's a two-month-old Dave just walking around. There's a little D-man out there. Crawling, I should say. Just getting it. Got a mustache already. This story can somewhat get parlayed with our other dog story today, which is about a dog named Buddy. Generic, but cool.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Well, I wouldn't call Buddy generic to his face, because Buddy looks like he will fuck you up. Buddy will fuck my dope up. The first English cream of treater I ever met was named Buddy, and he was a dope dog. I apologize to all the Buddies out there. Well, a California man ended up in a brawl with a bear to save his best friend, a pit bull named Buddy. Sorry, the Fox News ad just started blasting music.
Starting point is 00:46:17 It happens, man. He said Buddy was playing outside Caleb Benham's Nevada County home the day before Thanksgiving when he heard a growl and saw a bear had his dog in his mouth. What? A bear. What kind of bear? A big one. Okay. What's the location on this?
Starting point is 00:46:36 Nevada County. I think that might be in Sacramento. Hard to say. It's in California. But he said, I heard a growl, looked about 75 to a hundred feet down and the bear was dragging him by his head. Honestly, the only thing I could think about was that I needed to save my baby.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Benham did save buddy by running out and punching the 350 pound bear in the face. He said, I just ran down there, plowed into the bear, tackled it and grabbed it by the throat and started hitting it in the face. And the eye until it let go. Even after the heroic rescue,
Starting point is 00:47:06 Benham was worried that he might lose Buddy. The nearest veterinary hospital was closed due to a positive COVID-19 case. So instead, he took his beloved pet to Motherlode Veterinary Hospital in Grass Valley, according to News 9. They have a video of this dog after, and this dog's face got really messed up by this bear. Do I want to see it? I mean, the dog is alive, but you can tell that it's been mauled by something. Oh, yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:47:29 It'll be fine. If you know that cloning's out, I just... I don't know if I have the balls to go punch a 350-pound bear in the face if it's got rosy by the head. You know, I'm wondering if... He said he tackled the bear. Can I just say no one's ever tackled a full-size bear? All I'm saying is that I want to witness. Yeah, I've got some questions.
Starting point is 00:47:52 There's no one around to dispute what he's saying. He's got a pretty valiant story going on right now. I tend to believe it, obviously. I do too. Because it's, you know, someone could, like, you know, get in there and really look at the injuries and be like, oh, this wasn't a bear. But I'm sure he wouldn't lie about this.
Starting point is 00:48:07 You want some little lesson in geography, Will? You were right. It is in California. But it is right on the other side of Reno. So it's right near the border. I believe it's in the Tahoe National Forest, TSM. Ooh, good little spot. It's just a bunch of dudes at Tahoe just parked up.
Starting point is 00:48:22 It's tight. Listening to panic. What kind of bear do we think this was? Black bear. If it's black, fight back. If it's brown, lie down. If it's white, good night. That's what they say.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Just keep that in mind when you're approached. Most likely brown, too. They'll fuck your day up. Kodiaks? Grizzlies? Kodiaks are big boys. That's why he says lie down. Kodiak's the second biggest, right? Didn't your day up Kodiaks Grizzlies Kodiaks are big boys that's why he says lie down Kodiak's the second biggest
Starting point is 00:48:47 right didn't Ted Cruz the Kodiak guy I'm not gonna I'm not gonna answer I don't have I think a Kodiak bear is the second biggest bear
Starting point is 00:48:53 okay wasn't Kodiak Black the dude that had a really sick song come out a while ago yeah he had the the steel drum vibe to it dude
Starting point is 00:49:01 no song is delivered less than that after that first beat came out the beat was so hot it. Dude. No song is delivered less than that. After that first beat came out. The beat was so hot. Have you checked out Transporting yet? It's got the Ghetto Boys beat. Check it out. Okay.
Starting point is 00:49:12 You'd like it. What's the most aggressive animal that could attack your dog and then you feel comfortable going and trying to save that dog? Can I? Because I don't know if a bear is, I think, out of the realm of possibility for me feeling comfortable. Unless my dog is clearly dying or dead, then I'm going to do what I – I'm going to step in. I mean this.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Any animal. I co-sign what he is saying. Okay. Like I'm going to risk it all for the dog. Yeah. I know. I'd like to think that, but I don't know. I think I would have to grab something of size in order to make sure that I had like something equipped to hit this bear with.
Starting point is 00:49:45 Cast iron steel. If we're in the North Pole. I'm not bringing my dog to the North Pole. Exactly. But like if a polar bear has Stella in his mouth, I'm probably not going to approach that. Because Stella would go. Stella, you go. You're just like.
Starting point is 00:50:00 Even though she kind of looks like a little polar bear. Yeah. Oh, white and shit, you know. You crouching? I was thinking how dope Stella would look in the North Pole. Yeah. She'd be cold, but she'd look tight. She'd have a little, like, red cross jacket, flak jacket on.
Starting point is 00:50:14 Drinking Coca-Cola out of a glass bottle up there. It doesn't seem like the move to drink Coca-Cola on, like, the North Pole. Wouldn't you want something a little warmer? They do it in the ice cave. Like hot cocoa on fire. Dude, they love the cold, though. I want something a little warmer they do it in the ice cave like hot cocoa the fire did they love the cold though don't you know that that's true they wouldn't live there if they didn't they love it how do they open the bottles they actually they get they get hot out there they like lay out on the ice to cool down because the way their fur is yeah climate change wild that's like you ever see somebody with a siberian husky in austin
Starting point is 00:50:43 yeah they should feel bad about that yeah oh one of my good friends had a husky and like that dog if it was it was a blizzard outside that dog was like uh get me out there i want to sleep yeah let's go like this is this is my day yeah this is pretty much the thing you got me for yeah one time i just walked out and like almost tripped over it because it was just laying there and it looked like a mound of snow because it was just completely covered in snow i was like this dog is chilling so hard right now literally and figuratively can i say figuratively. Can I say Nevada County looks beautiful? This guy's backyard looks dope just from his photo with the dog. But, I mean, damn.
Starting point is 00:51:15 This is second week in a row we've had an animal saved from the grasp of a deadly animal by a person. It was the gator, remember? Oh, yeah. That little pupper last week. Ooh. You got to fight one. Your dog is in the grasp of a gator in water or a bear.
Starting point is 00:51:38 Brown bear. Gator. Gator. Not even close. Really? If you can hold its mouth shut, what if it's already got the dog? So you're having to like... Because I still want to deadlift the mouth away. Especially the size
Starting point is 00:51:49 of the gator from last week. What I'm about to say could be completely wrong and not factual and not even feasible. But I feel like I could get on the back of that gator and manage to get the dog out way easier than punching a bear in the face. But if I'm on the back of that gator, I'm just wailing on its head.
Starting point is 00:52:06 The bear, you're not taking the bear's back. No. If you can control a gator's mouth, then it's... You control the gator. You're fine. There's more weapons on the bear, too. They have claws on every little paw pad. It's just like a big left tackle.
Starting point is 00:52:23 Bears are nimble. With teeth and claws. Whereas I feel like a gator, you can stunt that and kind of pin it some way. It just seems way easier. But I do worry that a bear would kill you, whereas a gator might just bite your hand off. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:37 And that would suck, to not have a hand. But having a dog would be sick, but no hand would be tough. It would be harder to walk the dog with just one hand. But you have that story that you get to tell. Like Chubbs. No, I don't want to tell that story. Damn alligator bit his hand off. I'd rather tell the story of having two hands.
Starting point is 00:52:54 It sounds more convenient. That's a lame-ass story. No one wants to hear a story about how your hands didn't get bit off. What if I have a scratch on my knuckles because I punched a bear in the face? I don't go up to people in bars and be like, see these two hands? Yeah, nothing's ever taken it. Yeah. It's not a cool story. Can I say the face. I don't go up to people in bars and be like, see these two hands? Yeah. Nothing's ever taken it. Yeah. It's not a cool story.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Can I say that I don't mean to victim blame. I would never do that. No one's flexing their stump. Check out this stump. Yeah, I don't want to victim blame, but this pit bull absolutely started this. Yeah. This pit bull was flying a little close to the stump.
Starting point is 00:53:24 He's like, I'm not afraid of this fucking thing. The photos of the pit bull just make it look like a badass dog. Yeah, this pit does not fuck around. This thing has probably taken out like six coyotes, some feral hogs. I'll tell you what though, he comes across another bear, he's probably not going to approach it this time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:40 I'm not the type of person that says that all pit bulls are nice and they have a bad reputation because I think they do have a reputation for a reason. We're going to hear it now. You are going to get DM. Well, as somebody who had their dog viciously attacked by a pit bull and it cost me thousands of dollars, I think I do have ground to stand on.
Starting point is 00:53:58 I do think most pit bulls are very, very nice, but I do think they have a mean streak. Some have a mean streak. It wouldn't surprise me if this dog had gotten aggressive. I'm not saying every pit bull is aggressive, but as someone who has had a pit bull attack their dog and cause mayhem, I don't have the sympathy that I used to have anymore. I see.
Starting point is 00:54:20 I think that's fair. Justified. That being said, I will still pet pit bulls if someone has one at our dog park. I'm like, oh. Their aggression is the fault of humans because humans have bred them and they've changed the genetics, basically, the genetic makeup of these dogs to be aggressive because they're fighters. I've met pit bulls that are just absolute sweethearts. Oh, there are a ton of great pit bulls out there.
Starting point is 00:54:39 Yeah, of course. What happened with this Austin drug bust? I should say Nice UT students, right? Some former Former UT students got busted with lots of So we ran off on the plug, Dylan
Starting point is 00:54:57 Lots of Lots of drugs And cash, too Cash money They were distributing With like intent to run an empire, it looks like. That's more acid than I've ever seen in a drug post. I didn't think acid was cool anymore.
Starting point is 00:55:12 Oh, gosh. Oh, it's cool. Apparently. Are people just doing these, like, wild-ass drugs just so they can come from their own home? Yeah, because you're doing acid at concerts and stuff. I'm pulling up the story, folks. I've got it pulled up. They pretty much were exclusively hitting up UT students.
Starting point is 00:55:32 So they probably had no shortage. I wonder how the COVID-19 ongoing global pandemic has affected their business. Are you all ready for the numbers here? Yes. As a result of the operation, authorities seized 12.88 pounds of marijuana, 261 grams of methamphetamine, 3 grams of fentanyl, 42.24 grams of cocaine, 24 units of LSD, 749.99 grams of THC edibles. Nice. Let's go. Let's go. 287.18 grams of Adderall, 131.25 grams of Xanax, and 28.06 grams of hydrocodone pills.
Starting point is 00:56:14 Codone, however you say that. Hydros, dude. Codone. And approximately $9,230 in cash. Hydrocodone is just like Vicodin, right? It's like you get your wisdom teeth out. Pop a hot drug or two. What's up with the fentanyl? Yeah. That's the one you're like,, right? It's like you get your wisdom teeth out, pop a hot drug or two. What's up with the fentanyl?
Starting point is 00:56:26 Yeah. That's the one you're like, all right. It's like, okay, guys. You're asking to get the book thrown at you if you're dealing with fentanyl. There's the tears for me. It's like, all right, you got a bunch of weed gummies, big deal. The picture of all this stuff laid out is dope, though. I do have to admit. Drugs aren't cool, but the picture's cool.
Starting point is 00:56:45 You think some intern was like, his job that day was to make the presentation look tight? No, I've always thought about this. So, like, you know how they always have, like, they take a flex photo to show, like, oh, look how much we got? I would love to be the person that gets to set those up. Dude, in Mexico. You see what they do in Mexico, right? They bring the person they just arrested, they bring the drug traffickers out to pose behind the shit.
Starting point is 00:57:07 Yeah. And there's just like all the press there taking pictures and you're just kind of, you're the dealer and you're like, all right, yeah, fuck.
Starting point is 00:57:13 It's kind of tight. All right. I kind of want to just set the pick up and stand there and be like, yeah, we just did this. Nope.
Starting point is 00:57:20 LSD, little to the left. Dylan's a photographer. Yeah, we can't get the fentanyl in the portrait mode. Is there any way that we can... Can you move that a little forward? They had a bunch of weed chocolates that looked like gold bars. They looked kind of cool.
Starting point is 00:57:36 Like Willy Wonka bars or something? Yeah. Damn. And it's stacked up. People are just wild. The graphics that always end up in these pictures, whether it's on the acid tabs or anything, there's a designer there that's
Starting point is 00:57:49 doing good work making these things. What's up with that, though? You already know that it's a weird drug, so why do you put all the psychedelic shit on it to make it blatantly a weird drug? You could probably just make it look normal and be like, no, that's some Altoids over there.
Starting point is 00:58:05 The people who come up with names for weed strains are some of the most creative people on the planet. It's great. They're awesome. It's great. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:13 What is it? They just take the name of the street they grew up on and add a color for their favorite animal? Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, there's got to be
Starting point is 00:58:23 a system they plug it into and it spits out something Just really What it's like your spirit animal And like No it's like your favorite color In your spirit animal Yeah
Starting point is 00:58:30 So your boy My weed strand would be Green pelican That would do That would hit though I'd smoke that That would hit That would hit
Starting point is 00:58:38 Let's go Dude give me that green pelican Dylan and I I'm ripping blue wolf all day Blue wolf Blue wolf might Dude, give me that green pelican. I'm ripping Blue Wolf all day. Blue Wolf. Blue Wolf might just make you go to bed. No, you do that before skiing.
Starting point is 00:58:56 That removes all fear from your body. That's got a recipe for me falling asleep before the movie even starts. Kodiak Orange. You just get awesome with it, man. There's like an animal and a color. We're going to do an engagement hack from the circling back Twitter later. Yeah, this is probably going to happen. What's your weed strain? Mine's a little coconut.
Starting point is 00:59:14 Ooh, I bet you that's good. Don't tell Ty that. He's going to start trying to fucking. Oh, damn. It's going to be really annoying when he's just sitting there just trying to sell weed on the side. And he's like, I got that new green coconut, or that little coconut. Wait, what was yours? Green pellet green pellet dave's is instead of pina colada it's pina colada it's just a little otter that's smoking weed are you you're not the otter though are you i'm no otter you're you're the most ottery of the four yeah i kind of have
Starting point is 00:59:41 two spirit i'd be good you get the otter in there for a weed name, too. Otter. What animal is Brett? Pink Otter. Pink Otter. I'm burning on that all day. I think you just want to burn, dog. Dylan has yet to turn down one.
Starting point is 00:59:56 Let's go. I'm a golden retriever, Dave. It's fine. I did it. I was going to say like a stork. What? Stork? Oh. Why does it sound like What? Stork? Oh. Why does it sound like Klein?
Starting point is 01:00:07 I don't know. It's his reaction. Maybe he's stork. Maybe Klein's a stork. He's not that storky. Are drug dealers like thriving in the pandemic? Are they struggling in the pandemic? I heard for a while in like New York City that it was really hard being a drug dealer
Starting point is 01:00:19 because you couldn't, when they had to stay at home orders, it was like you had to be, have proof that you were out doing something. And if you're a drug dealer going house to house, you got a bunch of drugs on you and the cops stop you. It's kind of evident what you're doing. It's a dead end industry because everything's getting legalized slowly. Yeah, Oregon guys are just like, fuck. I'm trying to sell loud Ansem shrooms and I just can't even do that anymore. No, they got plenty of time.
Starting point is 01:00:45 They're all going into it. Yeah, they're going for it. It takes like two years in full to go from weed getting legalized in a state to actually having dispensaries up and running. Fucking red tape. Yeah, the Oregon dudes, they have a financial opportunity. They're like, ah, yeah, we took investment. We had a little place above a coffee shop to sell shrooms.
Starting point is 01:01:02 They're growing up. I'm happy for them. That's beautiful. Yeah. You'll love to see it. Should we microfinance Oregon dispensary pluses? It seems like it would just distract us from our media company. Why do the dealers always have so much cash on them?
Starting point is 01:01:18 Like, just put it away somewhere. You know? They can't put it in the bag. Well, where do you put it? It's dirty money, man. Put it in the freezer. Don't keep it with the drugs. Put it somewhere else. put it in the bag. Where do you put it? It's dirty money, man. Put it in the freezer. Don't keep it with the drugs. Put it somewhere else.
Starting point is 01:01:27 Have your – Put it in the floorboards? Have your sister put it under her mattress or something. I don't know. Yeah, let's get some accessories into crime as well, Dylan. They don't have 10 grand in cash right next to the fentanyl. What were you doing? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:01:39 What if you went and saw your sister on Saturday like you did and then she found out that you were stuffing drug money in her mattress? Wouldn't you feel a little guilty there? Like hollow out a bedpost or something and put it in there. I don't know. That's not an option. I'm just saying. It's a lot of work.
Starting point is 01:01:53 Put it in the walls. Don't keep it next to the six-pound pile of cocaine. Not everyone has a wife who will just clean money for them like Walter White over here. Yeah, car wash is the likely. How much does cocaine cost, like for a gram? No, you're asking three of the most wrong people in the world. Yeah, do you really think you're going to get the right answer here? How much does a pound of marijuana cost?
Starting point is 01:02:13 I have no clue. No one's buying pounds. Dilly, if I went to a drug dealer right now and asked him for a small amount of weed, he could be like, that's $500. And I'd be like, man, that seems like a lot, but here you go. I just want to point out, 13 pounds doesn't sound like a ton to have. Oh, it is. If you're a distributor, though.
Starting point is 01:02:32 Is weed kind of on the outs, though? They're like, yeah, we have it. I'm wondering if the ability to get it from your buddy in Colorado is really kind of impeded on there. But I do think that you can get weed illegally from a drug dealer for way cheaper than you get it at a dispensary. Got it. Okay. So I do think that you can get weed illegally from a drug dealer for way cheaper than you get it at a dispensary. Got it. Okay. So there's still a market. Because now that it's legal in Michigan, I asked somebody, I was like, so are just weed dealers not a thing up here anymore?
Starting point is 01:02:52 What's the deal? And they're like, actually, no, you can get it cheaper. But if you just want to do it right and easy, then you might as well just go to a dispensary. It's like going to 7-Eleven. I'm going to have a – give me a pen and some gummies. God. I still don't know if they sell weed and pens and gummies at 7-Eleven. When they do, buy all the 7-Eleven stock because not only can you then get underage booze, you can get legal weed.
Starting point is 01:03:13 Shouts to the one on Filo Street. What's wrong? What's going on right now? I don't know. I'm implicating my bodega. What are you Googling? I said street value, pound of marijuana. Doesn't it depend on the city?
Starting point is 01:03:25 Well, yeah, but there's got to be a ballpark. I just want a ballpark figure. I'm not trying to actually go out and buy one. Supply and demand. Isn't 40 a gram pretty much standard? You buy in bulk, though, the price goes down. How many ounces are in a pound, Dylan? 16 ounces.
Starting point is 01:03:41 16? 16? 16 ounces. 16. So as of 2014, a pound of marijuana, if you were buying it street value, in the state of Texas would cost you around $5,300 in 2014. Okay. After the math that I just did here.
Starting point is 01:03:57 I could be wrong. I'm not a big math guy. Remember when Nate Newton got popped with like 50 pounds? Yeah. Tough scene. He made it out okay. I don't know if he ever did any time. He seems like he should.
Starting point is 01:04:12 I mean, that's a lot. I don't know. Good stuff, man. Yeah, don't do drugs, kids. Yeah, that's a takeaway. Try everything once, but the bad ones. Don't do those. Don't do the real bad ones. Instead of doing that, maybe mix in some multivitamins.
Starting point is 01:04:28 Ooh. Do you guys know what's in your multivitamins these days? Will they pop with some multivitamins, too? Dude, sign me up. I would say that I need a multivitamin plug, but I got one. It's ritual, baby. This is one plug I won't run off on. Hey, sugars, GMO, synthetic fillers, artificial colorants, not to mention animal byproducts like sheep's wool and gelatin from hooves and hides.
Starting point is 01:04:53 All are ingredients you might find in a multivitamin, but Ritual isn't your typical multivitamin. Ritual's clean, vegan-friendly formula is made with key nutrients and forms that your body can actually use with no shady extras. They used to call Dylan, or sorry, Brett the shady extra. Thank you for switching that up. I appreciate that. I didn't, I was, my brain is so used to doing that to you that it just naturally went there, even though I was thinking of Brett. Yeah. We've been taking these things. I truly enjoy it. If there's ever a time in my life when I've thought that I need to be taking a daily multivitamin, it's definitely during the pandemic when I need to get my health the best. And the second I pop one of these things open and have that minty smell just hit me, I look forward to it every single time I do it.

I got a couple things for you. One, real quick, just this is in light of the other two. What is it, Las Vegas County, California?
Starting point is 01:06:40 Was that what we were talking about? Vegas County. Nevada County. Nevada County, California. The site of the Donner Party. Remember that? You ever hear about the Donner Party? As in Donner and Blitzen, like the reindeer?
Starting point is 01:06:52 That's what you're saying, the Donner Party. I was like, that's what we all just like to head up on. Not one of the reindeer. 0 for 3 for the three of you. It's the ill-fated expedition where people were up in the mountains and they ate each other. You remember that, Dave? Whoa. It was in like the mountains and they ate each other. You remember that, Dave? Whoa. It was in like the 1800s.
Starting point is 01:07:08 Oh. Yeah. They were trying to survive. Why did they do that? They were trying to get somewhere and they got caught in the winter. They didn't have any like Pop-Tarts on them? No. They got caught in Nevada County, California.
Starting point is 01:07:20 Interesting. Donner Lake. And they started catching bodies. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah, they were eating cannibalism. I'll catch your body, bitch. Come on, man.
Starting point is 01:07:31 Dylan. Did anybody survive? Yeah, 40-something of the 80-something. Oh, that's quite the expedition. Yeah. Okay. Yes, I'll take the A.C. Slater news, please. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:08:31 Mini movie. I shouldn't have any respect for Mario Lopez after the abomination that was the Saved by the Bell reboot that I made it 10 minutes into. Oh, yeah. Dude, so bad.
Starting point is 01:08:39 Dave and I were thinking about doing like a one-off Patreon episode where we talked about the Saved by the Bell reboot. After watching for 10 minutes, I just was like, yeah, we're not doing this anymore. This is a complete waste of time. Presented by Kentucky Fried Chicken, of course.
Starting point is 01:08:52 Yeah. You think he's going to give her the 12th herb and spice? What's that? You mean like his penis? What do you mean? You know, they say that there's 11 herbs and spices in KFC's chicken formula. Yeah. He is going to give her the 12th.
Starting point is 01:09:08 Right. I know. I got it. Sure. The 12th being whatever you want it to be. His penis is like I said. Well, it says he has a recipe for seduction. Seduction. Which cares what's in, is it proprietary? Can I go get that off allrecipes.com right now?
Starting point is 01:09:21 Seduction, if it goes well, usually culminates and penis comes out at some point. You know what I mean? Yeah. Do you think- Pen 15 is the 12th. Culmination. No seasoning. Do you think big fried chicken, I'm thinking the KFCs of the world,
Starting point is 01:09:38 you think they have something out for the air fryer industry? Or are they in support? Because all fryer, like a rising oil lifts all... What? Like rising tide lifts all ships type of thing? Rising oil because it fries. I was trying to make a... The oil has done something here.
Starting point is 01:09:55 They're going to start air frying at KFC? Or do you think they're like, fuck, these people are going to air fry at home and it's almost as good as what we're doing in store? No, because it's a beating. As much as I like the stuff out of our air fryer, it doesn't compare to the stuff we get. There will always be people who prefer
Starting point is 01:10:07 just going and picking out food as opposed to cooking it. Yeah. Always. The whole effort thing. Yeah. And honestly, like, you've got to clean up the air fryer afterwards.
Starting point is 01:10:15 It's kind of a whole deal. It's a total scene. I thought it was like, that was the thing about it. You would throw like a piece of tinfoil down, you're good. Yeah, but it's fine. Okay. You could just go down to KFC. I haven't had KFC in like a piece of tin foil down here good yeah but it's fine okay you could just go down to kfc i haven't had kfc in like a decade never been a kfc guy the only fried chicken we had available to us
Starting point is 01:10:34 in northern michigan was kfc and so kfc was something that we ate did you do original the original recipe not sure i have no clue actually the time in my life that i remember eating it the most was when they came out with the bowl that had the mashed potatoes, a bunch of chicken in it, corn. Smokable. Jeez, it was dope. No, there was no smoked chicken in there. It has nothing to do with this. It was fried chicken, not smoked. I buy it by the pound. Dude, we get it.
Starting point is 01:10:55 Were you a part of this drug bust? $5,300. Are you the plug? I'm still here. I didn't get arrested. What do you think, bitch? Well, you should probably delete this. What was the bail? Oh, man. I want to make a joke, but it's got spoilers in it. So I can't.
Starting point is 01:11:11 Damn, dude. Spoiler, dude. Not going to do it. Not going to do it. You guys have done a very good job of not spoiling Game of Thrones for me. So I appreciate that. I'm not going to spoil other stuff for other people. There's that wedding.
Starting point is 01:11:22 Dave, are you familiar with Hood County? Crack my back. Am's that wedding. Dave, are you familiar with Hood County? Crack my back. Am I? Yeah. Dylan, are you familiar with Hood County? No, but I was raised
Starting point is 01:11:31 in the hood. Okay. Okay, you're from Austin. That's a neighborhood from Austin. Didn't you drive a Camaro? A neighborhood in Austin. It was a Corvette, bitch.
Starting point is 01:11:40 There was a 28-year-old man who's now deceased, Dave, at the hands of what appears to be a mountain lion. Mountain lion with hands. Wait, where's Hood? The claws. Southwest of Fort Worth. South of Mineral Wells, Lake Granbury area.
Starting point is 01:12:00 Driven through there many a time. Yeah. Maybe a little bit off 281. Yeah. That's how I go to Wichita Falls. Mm-hmm. You go through HICO? No.
Starting point is 01:12:10 I go through Mineral Wells, though. HICO is where they say Billy the Kid's buried. I don't think it's true. Mm. So. Unfortunately, Chris Whiteley is now buried there. Okay. He went missing on Thursday.
Starting point is 01:12:22 Or, excuse me, he went missing on Wednesday in the early morning hours, and so they went searching for him on Thursday. They found him dead in a nearby wooded area, and then the preliminary results from an autopsy determined that he died from a wild animal attack. Give us your theory. Possibly a mountain lion. You think it was a squash? I think this is the first confirmed Sasquatch killing
Starting point is 01:12:45 in North America. Well, it's not confirmed. What's your evidence? None, as of right now. I just have a hunch, Dave. And if we've seen, hunches are hot on the streets these days. Hey, Brett,
Starting point is 01:12:55 Sasquatch believers question. Yeah. What's your theory about why we don't have, like, skeletons? You think they're, like, intelligent enough to bury their shit or whatever? I think there's partially –
Starting point is 01:13:08 Skeletons, not their actual shit, Will. Some people do that. So you think a dead Sasquatch is going to bury his bones? No, his friend. His boys are going to come do the thing. They do like a whole funeral thing. They put him in just like a big Yeti coffin. That's good. It works. That. Yeah. They put them in a, used to like a big Yeti coffin. Okay.
Starting point is 01:13:26 That's good. Nice. It works. That's good. I subscribe to the same thing. Like, I've never seen a, you know,
Starting point is 01:13:34 like a bear skeleton, right? You don't come across like apex predator skeletons. You don't come across. Yeah, but they're there. They still make the news.
Starting point is 01:13:42 Yeah. You know, like we found a brown, yeah, oh, cool, a ton of brown bears who pass away. We know about those already. Yeah. But if we found a Sasquatch skeleton, that would be huge fucking news. Yeah, it would, yeah, it would break the case wide open. It would be the Kraken.
Starting point is 01:13:56 I'm just wondering where the, some of the, what are you Randy Travis in here? The wood ape is what you're saying, Dennis. Yeah. So the Texas Wildlife, Parks and Wildlife Commission or whatever, they have said, no, it's not a mountain lion. There we go. Tarrant County Coroner, they had two coroners look at it, and I think they both concluded mountain lion.
Starting point is 01:14:16 It was a wild animal of some sort. Two coroners like Jalen Ramsey? What do you mean? Coroner. Oh, I thought you meant coroner. Yeah, they had Jalen look at it. He just locked it down. They put it on his island.
Starting point is 01:14:32 Hood County Sheriff Roger Deed. That's just, I mean, what a Hood County sheriff. Dickie Deeds? Oh, hey, Roger Deed. I think that's Dave's food. Oh, that's my food. He advised residents not to interfere with the process of locating the animal. Sounds like back in the day they would enlist the help of the community.
Starting point is 01:14:52 Now they're like, no, but you don't want people out there going through the woods trying to find a deadly animal that's already killed one person. Dave, you timed that food so well. I'm really proud of you. Actually, two minutes early. I'm timing that food so well. I'm really watching. It's a good thing, Will. Actually, two minutes early. I'm just saying. You know this is like a week after they've confirmed the one in Dallas County. Mountain Lion.
Starting point is 01:15:11 On Rowlett, T-Man's area. Yeah. They saw it on a game cam. Like, yeah, that's a Mountain Lion. And that's, I don't know what the distance is, 100, 150 miles. Yeah, Mountain Lions, they've always been a Texas thing. It's not like new to the area, right? North Texas, there hasn't been one confirmed in many, many years. Yeah. Mountain lions, they've always been attached to this thing. It's not like new to the area, right? North Texas,
Starting point is 01:15:25 there hasn't been one confirmed in many, many years. A lot of people don't think that they exist at all out there, but they do. Those people are fucking wrong.
Starting point is 01:15:34 Also, back to my burying bones thing. Okay. That wouldn't hide anything. We could just dig them up. I mean, we do that with other animals
Starting point is 01:15:40 all the time. Like fossils. Parks could have explained that to us. He's super into that shit. I'm just wondering where the hell the bones are. I am too. Dylan, I am too.
Starting point is 01:15:48 Because I'm out here digging up bones, and I don't see them. You got a point. I want to believe it more than I think I do. It would be exciting. But I can't wait for you all to watch the last 30 minutes of Phenomenon. The Phenomenon.
Starting point is 01:16:03 Man, the part about where they were basically doing research on the nuclear weapon facilities. Mm-hmm. Huh. Huh. That's wild. Huh. Just wait until you get to Zimbabwe.
Starting point is 01:16:16 That's all I'm going to say. Looks like I have to start watching Phenomenon. One friend of the program, Zah, at Barstool Sports, he was at the school. Are you serious? I swear. Yeah, he tells the story. He was one of the kids at the school. Are you serious? I swear. Yeah, he tells the story. He was one of the kids at the school.
Starting point is 01:16:28 Okay, don't spoil it for them. You're fucking kidding. No one doesn't know the story. Yeah, nothing more. Don't spoil it for these guys. Can we get him on the pod? I can get him. I don't know if he'll come on the pod,
Starting point is 01:16:36 but I can certainly touch him. Oh, yeah. Dude. That is... That's what's of interest. Yeah. Woo. Sheesh.
Starting point is 01:16:45 Great ending. Good breaking news. Thank you. Dave's what's of interest. Yeah. Woo! Sheesh. Great ending. Good breaking news. Dave's pumped up right now. Brett finally delivered on the breaking news. Dude, when you see this, you're going to... I'm excited. I'm excited. I'm telling you. What's it on for the people out there?
Starting point is 01:16:56 I'm asking for me. Amazon. Okay. Cool. You can rent it. You don't have to purchase it forever. That's good to know. Well, all right, guys. I had fun. I had fun as forever. That's good to know. Well, all right, guys.
Starting point is 01:17:06 I had fun. I had fun as well. That was a good episode. We'll be back Wednesday with our double feature, free episode of the morning, Bachelorette in the afternoon. Let's go. And it sounds like we're going to do a nice little triple feature with the Happy Hour Live on Wednesday night. So if you guys want to start sending in your tree photos, send them wherever. Maybe, I don't even know the best way to do this.
Starting point is 01:17:29 There's going to be a fuck ton of tree photos. I'll put it that way. Just DM them to one of the accounts. I will run through and see what we got. Also, Christmas Villages. If you got them. You're only going to pick the best. Not too hot on us, right?
Starting point is 01:17:39 Why don't you calm down? We don't need too many Christmas Villages. We'll do like the 12 to 15 best of the best, and then we'll throw in the clearly worst of the worst, just for some comedic reasons. We'll even rate your nativity scene. Yeah. Is it nativity scene or nuttivity scene? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:17:56 Just wondering. On a scale of like Nate Robinson, who got bodied to a more successful Nate. I thought you were going to tie that to... Who's the most successful Nate? I don't know. It might be him. Nate Dogg.
Starting point is 01:18:08 Rest in peace. Nate Dogg, yeah. Oh, yeah. Shouts. Yeah, that's all I got. Nate. Not many Nates out there, it turns out. Does this count Nathans too?
Starting point is 01:18:17 No, just Nates. I don't have time for Nathans. Yeah, you do. Okay. You probably got plenty of time for Nathan's. It's a glizzy joke, Will. Let's get out of here. It's time to go.
Starting point is 01:18:29 Should we go? Bye.
