all right we're back circling back podcast live from the early bird cbd studios in austin texas my name is will defries to my right dave ruff good morning let's podcast let's podcast let's get this money i listened to sicko mode on my way in here today so that's weird i'm really hyped did you yeah did it come on random on your i've been i've been on a travis scott kick just kind of running through his spotify just random songs and what do you think my future girlfriend kylie's uh hit rise and shine rise and and Shine. You guys are going to act like I don't wake Randy up with that every morning. She filed for a trademark for Rise and Shine. Yeah, I feel like that one's not going to happen.

Yeah, what are you doing? Do you wake Randy up with her version or do you sing it yourself? Rise and Shine. That's her version. That's pretty good, man. Thanks. Why did she do that for the voice? That's pretty good, man.

Thanks. Why did she do that for The Voice? Someone was filming in her home or her place of work or something, and she was just taking a crib-style video, I think. She was showing them around, and her daughter was sleeping there, waking up. No, no, no, you're wrong. She was on Pimp My Ride. Zibit was pimping her ride, and she was just giving a quick tour i thought that show was done but i guess i'm wrong have you ever seen the tweet that

he did to somebody oh yeah so good that could have been me because i've almost sent a tweet like that or i've thought about doing a pimp my ride tweet but when you think of exhibit like that's you think of that show not his musical uh collection right exhibit he had some bangers but yeah you know i mean yeah dude call what you want to call it he's a fucking alcoholic come on x to the z is it a lot yeah x to the z yeah exhibit i get it i mean this tweet is like yeah he just tweeted someone said at exhibit can you pit my ride then he quote tweeted. Someone said, at Exhibit, can you pimp my ride? Then he quote tweeted them and said, no, bitch.

Shit's been over for a decade. Get a job. That's not even a good tweet. Can you pimp my ride? Like, there's nothing funny about that. He just bodied that poor person for no reason. Well, dude, maybe they weren't

trying to be funny. They really wanted to do a ride pimp. Maybe Alejandra just wanted her fucking ride pimp. Oh, it was a lady, too? A young lady. Yeah. She just got bodied by exhibit we put a podcast

studio in your car someone's done that dude dylan stop stop moving your laptop dude it's blinding me this is weird so the sun is hitting my laptop like directly and i can see the Apple logo through my screen. This is weird. Has that ever happened to you? No. I freaked out over here. Hey, I complimented Will's sweatshirt. It's oatmeal. His response, he didn't say thank you.

He said, straight oatmeal, dog, which is like Will's version of the... Randy Moss. Thank you. Straight cash, homie. Yeah. I enjoyed that a little bit. Man, my favorite part of Monday Night Football the other night, which I'm still for some reason hung up on,

was when they had the one-on-one interview between Randy Moss and Tom Brady, which is actually engaging content. And then they showed about three minutes of it only to show Darnold just talking about nothing. The least engaging person on the planet. I could listen to Randy Moss talk about anything. Anything. Yeah. And especially with Tom Brady.

Like, they're catching up and stuff. I was like, dude, this is great. Like, I'm so glad they did this. And then they cut the interview. And I was like, oh, cool. That was a great 180 seconds. You saw the Jets are mad. Monday Night Football released that footage of him saying,

I see ghosts. I'm seeing ghosts. Make him look weak? I mean, it's a bad look for him. Well, I mean, they mic'd him up. He agreed to be mic'd up. Their argument is like, if they're going to show, I don't know. Le'Veon Bell was like, look.

Because it's an embarrassing moment for him. Yeah, people say things on the sidelines that don't get shown there that are bad, even if they are mic'd up. And they're like, it's a weird move to put one of the bright young stars in that light. But, I mean... I didn't think it was that bad. Get the fuck out of here. Fuck out of here.

They did it with Stafford like a million times, and every single time, it was awesome. The dude had an all-time bad football game. That's the wrong game to be Mike Del Toro. Yeah, right. They probably didn't have a whole lot of footage that was usable. You know what I mean? That wasn't so bad. He's just a kid, and as everyone knows, man,

kids see ghosts sometimes. Didn't we already do this? Yeah. It was spooky season. I knew it was was gonna be bad when like they showed him and it was pre-game and he was doing like the the fake enthusiasm clap going division rival baby yes like dude sally was no one's doing no sally was intensely studying and she heard that she turned around and she goes they need to not mic him up that is bad she's

like that is so bad and canned and corny. That's like Derek Carr level. Like corny and canned. I know the camera's on me. I know I'm mic'd up. I got to say something that makes me look like I'm a gamer. I wouldn't be able to play for that guy. For Derek Carr? He's such a boner.

Yeah. Did you see him die for the pylon and fumble it? It's not the first time he's done that. He did that against the Cowboys. Yeah. Same play. You can't throw the ball across the goal line, dog.

Didn't work like that. Is that the most embarrassing play? No, the unintentional drop when you're coasting into the end zone before the goal line. Yeah, that's worse. Deshaun Jackson has done

like three times in his career. That's the worst. Yeah. Just because it's like, it reflects so poorly on your character. Yeah. Dude, you got it.

No, you like celebrating way too much rise and shine i'm gonna celebrate this sponsor they actually hooked up us the other day with a discount which is huge unintentionally they're called honey you ever buy something online then find out you could have gotten it for less? It's the worst. It's a real kick in the pants. You know, sometimes you can call a company and like beg for them to give you the discount.

They're not going to do it most of the time. And so like just get it while the getting's good. Honey. Sometimes I forget I have this on my computer and I'll just, I'll be purchasing something and then it'll surprise me. Like, hey, guess what, idiot? We just saved you 15% on your order.

Otherwise would not have even thought about it. I was doing some website stuff the other day for Washed Media, the company that we own. Sure. And I was upgrading our plan and Honey popped up and I was like, I didn't even know they had codes for this. All of a sudden, I got 40% off.

40? 40. 40%. Come on. Instead of paying 150 bucks, I paid 40% less than bucks i mean i don't want to do that math someone can do that math pretty good save the company some big money thank you thank you honey shareholders are pleased i'll say that they're all in this room right now honey is a free browser extension that saves you time and money when shopping online it scans the internet for codes and other discounts and then like magic it automatically applies one of the biggest

savings to your car to check out they got them everywhere 20 000 sites like amazon macy's j crew dominoes you trying to get dominoes off they make a fine pie with that revamped crust oh they revamp it like a ago, they started putting the garlic.

First of all, happy birthday. Oh, thank you. We probably should have done that before the eight-minute mark, but whatever. It's what I've come to expect from you guys. But you did celebrate my birthday the other night, so I can't get too upset about it. But thank you. Appreciate you. Yeah, it's my birthday today.

I'm going to get my licks in after this pod. Do you want to tell people how old you are today just to set the record straight? Happy 47th, man. I am officially 36 years old. I was born in 1983. I actually thought you were turning 37 today. Why is everyone saying that to me? Because no one knows how old you are.

Brett thought that. Lauren thought that. You thought that. I thought it so much that in our official washed media pitch deck, I put your age as 36 thinking you were turning 37. Yeah. Well, I'm officially 36 today. Why don't we just all lie about our age?

Like in the pitch deck at least. What do you want to say you are? I'm officially 36 today. Why don't we just all lie about our age? Like in the pitch deck at least. What do you want to say you are? I'm dreading turning 31. I'm dreading turning 33 more than I was dreading turning 30. 33, you're turning to mid-30s. 32, I'm still early 30s. Nobody cares about 30 anymore. I think the real, once you get mid-30s, that's when it gets real.

Nobody loves you when you're 23 either. In four years, I'm going to be 40 years old. when you're 23 either so in four years i'm gonna be 40 years old ritz fit now in just four years yeah i'll say this like about that shit yeah you're closer to 40 than i am by a little bit nine months or so like getting older sucks but being in your early 30s is fucking tight oh the 30s 30s have been great i think 30s like should be better than my 20s oh yeah, yeah. I'm excited for 27. 27's when shit starts getting real good. That seems like a solid age.

For me, at least. 27, 28, 29? Things are shaping up. I'm psyched for that. 27 is the middle between being young and wild and being more established. There's this little sweet spot in there. It's like young and wild with a little bit of money and like credit cards yeah boom 27 is the age i think when the hangovers become more debilitating like noticeably more like more consistent debilitating hangovers okay

so you just got to be smarter too about what you drink i guess yeah you have to be smarter you can't hang out with 25 year olds anymore that drink a lot of beer and have fun i'm still i you know will i think it's me overcompensating for the fact that one time you said i'm not a beer drinker on the on this very podcast dude it's because one of the first times i ever drank drank with you like you switched from beer really quickly and i was like oh he must not be a beer guy sometimes it makes my stomach like upset on. You did eat an entire pizza right before you switched away from beer, so I shouldn't really overthink it. If I do two IPAs and food, my stomach is in bad shape.

Well, the cool thing about being in your 30s is that doing two IPAs and food, you're going to be hungover as hell the next day. Damn. You got to learn how to pour it right, as Dylan can tell you. Yeah. Yeah, shouts to Klein. Pour it like a rookie. You have to admit, though.

You have to admit. Okay, so Dylan is a beer pourer with a lot of foam, so that doesn't foam in your stomach. Not a lot of foam, but you need to foam it up. You need a good head. You need a lot of that. You need at least two inches of head. Can you at least admit that it's not aesthetically pleasing to look at that much foam?

Agreed. I hate having the beer in front of me with that much. I think your rationale behind this is spot on, and I really like it. Well, I can't take credit for it. I didn't come up with this. Your big brain came up with it. Yeah, beer people came up with it. But yeah, it's true.

It says on the... I think on a Guinness can, it'll tell you how to pour, and it's that way. That's because a Guinness is very... It has a lot of gas in it, like more gas than most beers. Oh, yeah.

You know what I mean? Doesn't Guinness have a ball in it, too? Yeah. Yes. What does that do? What do the cans do? It releases whatever the air is. CO2 or whatever.

Yeah, that makes it the consistency that it is. That is a terrible explanation for it. How far could you it the consistency that it is. That is a terrible explanation. How far could you punt the Guinness ball? You're not getting that. I don't even know what it looks like. You're not getting that

over five yards. You say you're a beer guy. That's like throwing a ping pong ball in the wind. Oh, hey, how was the beer I gave you? The beer was fantastic. Thank you, Brett.

Shipyard Pumpkinhead for those listening. The Shipyard Pumpkinhead beer that Brett brought to me Monday? Or yesterday. Yesterday. For spooky season. thank you shipyard pumpkin head for those shipyard pumpkin head beer that brett brought to me month monday or yesterday yesterday for spooky season which is a fantastic beer good and i will probably can i get that around here yeah central market had it i was shocked they had it okay just a great great beer selection man grocery store uh they had it and you said you weren't into pumpkin beers

and shipyard is my favorite pumpkin beer so what's that out of where's that uh maine wow big maine i think it's portland maine but that's up there portland portland's an oregon dog that's an oregon dude wait so we're doing which one is it so there's i think there is portland like one of those there's 37 portlands probably yeah probably there's probably a portland texas yeah dean portland was that guy from mighty dogs this i don't know if you guys have this in Michigan, but do you remember... Okay, that was underrated. Well, do you know that the side roads or the feeder roads are called frontage roads in Texas? Yeah.

So you'll see signs that say frontage. There was a kid in high school who thought it was just one really, really long fucking road. Like a sidecar for a highway? He'd go, dude, this frontage road is really long. It's like, um... You're probably on the highway, pal. Not one road, buddy. That's a pretty new phenomenon to me.

We don't really have those in upstate New York. The frontage roads. Really? Yeah, it's like... How do you get on the highway? It's just one exit. And it's like a cross more or less like that. Perpendicular roads.

So you just have one shot, one opportunity. I think that's more common. If you had an opportunity, one shot. Also, farm to market. Would you take it? It's FTM. Huh? Like farm to market roads?

They're called like farm to market this? Oh, I have seen those in oh, that's not a thing Where I come from we got ranch roads down here. Yeah when I saw it I was like wait, I think that's so like old-school sounding you've been on Ranch Road 12, bro. Of course, dude What does the Texas State? Okay, I'm just checking bitch Go by Dylan, you know for your birthday. I think I'm gonna buy you a beer Really? Yeah, just send me your Venmo and I'll cover it.

Oh. So I have to pay for it? Yeah. No, no. I mean, I'm not going to go with you. I'll just buy you one. Okay. You're going to e-buy it for him.

Yeah. That's very generous. Yeah, let me know your Venmo. Wow. Yeah, so I brought... Dylan brought donut holes into the stew. Yeah, I made a stop at a little place around the corner from where I live called Bougie's Donuts and Coffee. Where is this located?

Is it actually Bougie? I heard y'all talking about it, but I've never been by. It's 290 and Brody area. Next door to the, it's in that really big shopping center, kind of behind Walmart there. Oh. Yeah. Did you ask them to double glaze? I did not, no. They actually didn't have much of behind Walmart there. Oh. Yeah. Did you ask them to double glaze? I did not, no.

They actually didn't have much of a whole selection. Oh, that's the worst. They only had one kind of whole. You've been encountering that a lot. It was just the basic glazed donut whole. Okay. We mentioned this last time, but I wanted to get chocolate because I think they're heavier, a little bit more dense, and can probably fly farther.

It's completely dependent on the chocolate itself though sure some of those donut holes it's not a thick layer of chocolate i don't think it'll do much so i got the only holes that they offered which is the basic glazed uh here's my concern some of these are not very big i don't know if if i just overestimated the size of a hole dude there's some people make them bigger maybe they just make small holes i'm not trying to like be rude to you on your birthday but that's kind of a you problem no i'm not blaming anybody like you're welcome to go to other places and buy donut holes i'm like i'm not gonna drive all over town looking for big holes like what you should have done you should have gone to central

market last night bought donut holes and let them stay all overnight yeah yeah open them up in your in your place and just let them sit all night. And then you would have had the perfect donut holes for today. You didn't even have to tell us that you did that. Something that we need to consider is we need to have a number of donut holes because there's a chance these things just get destroyed and are unkickable after one. I bought a dozen and I ate one. So we have 11 left.

You're so bad. I'm a bad boy. You don't care i love well i love donuts it's true it's your it is your birthday too so you can eat to your heart's desire i can eat what i want so there's a place down the street that's pretty popular it's right around the corner from youtube kc donut i think it is it's next to uh evangeline cafe oh and their donut holes are probably three times the size of those oh shit yeah and, and so that's what I've been picturing this whole time. Okay.

I'll say this. The donut holes that you brought today, they're bitch ass. Okay. But it's on me. I got to make do with what I got. They're cute little guys. They are. They're tasty, too.

They're bougie. They are not bad. Maybe when I punt it, Dave, you can be on the other end and catch it in your mouth and eat it. Yank. How about you just baby bird it to me? I'll baby bird it. They are not bad. Maybe when I punt it, Dave, you can be on the other end and catch it in your mouth and eat it. Yank. How about you just baby bird it to me? I'll baby bird it. I love doing that.

I got some regular donuts in here too if you guys want one. I ate half of one of those. I feel bad. I can't do sweets in the morning. Yeah, dude. I don't think you should feel bad. I will only eat donuts if I have hot coffee to accompany it.

Because I like the sensation of taking a sip of the hot coffee. I also got an Americano while I was there. How's their coffee? It's pretty good. Is it coffee time? It's coffee time, baby. Okay. Anyway, video to come.

We don't know exactly where we're going to film it. Really? Logistics are getting there. We'll figure it out. We don't know exactly where we're going to film it. Really? Logistics are getting there. We'll figure it out. We'll figure it out. Just keep an eye out. We'll have confirmation this week. That's a promise.

Shouts to Bougie's Donuts and Coffee. I don't know why I'm shouting them out. I actually had to pay for them. Brett, good job getting a sponsor for us. Really? They didn't want to sponsor the donut hole punting challenge? Yeah, I presented it to them. I said, look, we got this punting challenge.

Send them the deck. I got my guy, Brett's going to send you the deck over here in a minute if you can check that out. But no. Yeah, man, sorry. The 48 hours notice, we couldn't lock one down. Couldn't lock down a donut sponsored. Dave's wearing a rowback today.

Maybe they'll take it. They would 100% be down a sponsored donut hole challenge. Yeah, so video to come. How do you feel going into this? I feel less confident now that I've actually gotten eyes on the holes. Because like I said, they're just not as substantial as I thought they were going to be. Are you nervous about your pants being too restrictive? Yeah, you're wearing jeans.

How do you not wear... You've been wearing joggers like a madman lately. And today's the day you wear jeans? Dylan, I'm looking at images of donut holes, and they all look like the ones I have. These are just tiny, tiny donut holes. Yeah, going to a place named Bougie is not the place to get donut holes that you punt. Yeah. I mean, okay.

They're not going to have the hearty blue-collar donut holes that you need. You need some Western New York donut holes. So you might need to fly into Buffalo or something. Johan's, my hometown donut shop, they put those in the ground. I only go get donuts from places that the outside in the in the ground i only go get donuts from places um that the outside in the strip mall like the where it says the name of the place it just says donut that's it so there's not really a name it's just like oh yeah donut that's that's where i get my donuts from we'll see what happens guys okay okay if you say so i think'm not going to go buy other donuts. Okay.

I guarantee no. I might just for me. No other podcast has gotten this much run out of donut holes. No. Central Market isn't very far. We'll see what happens. I don't know. No, you literally just said that you're doing these ones.

So you have to do it. Calm down, Will. Stick to your guns. Bitch. Hey, what's going on over at WeWork? Oh, man. What isn't going on over at we work oh man uh what isn't going on over at we work so we talked about this like was that two weeks ago three weeks ago we had the story about uh some somebody did like an expose on their ceo at the time uh adam newman and just he was like a pun he was like a a silicon valley

character that you would think was too over the top. You wouldn't even believe it. The shit he was actually doing, if that were put into a show, you'd be like, oh, no one's doing this. Well, he was doing it. Anything from just walking around the office barefoot. J-Bone did that at Grand X. Not a big deal. Oh, it was so gross.

Until somebody complained. Oh, we know who complained. Who was it? It was Bosa. Do you want to know who complained? I don't know if it Grand X. Not a big deal. Oh, it was so gross. Until somebody complained. Oh, we know who complained. Who was it? Expose him. Do you want to know who complained? I don't know if it was him. It wasn't him. It was a lady.

I know who it was. I think. Kayla. Which, that makes sense. Oh, yeah. It does. Yeah. Okay, so.

Kayla, we had like an anonymous thing that we could submit stuff to. And I think she submitted like, hey, J-Bone, put some shoes on. So, yeah. He would walk around the i mean he's walking around the office like hitting a heavy bag covered in sweat blaring music blaring rihanna while he was doing it which it's not that weird but then you find out like he uh he like has these weird quotes like he wants to be president of the world and he's dead serious um he thinks he can live forever he thinks he wants to live forever he thinks that's a possibility he wants to like download his like consciousness um the funniest thing though was uh when he laid off a good portion of his staff and then followed it up immediately by having an all hands on deck meeting

in which tequila shots were passed out and DMC from run DMC fame came in and did it's tricky, which I don't know if that song was picked for like, like maybe like the, it was like, you know, business is kind of tricky sometimes. I don't know if that was,

how do you settle on business? I don't know. Cause I guess Reverend run doesn't need the money. I feel like there's better acts to come in post-layoff than DMC. Right, right, right. Did you just call him Reverend Run? Rev Run, yeah. No, I think you called him Reverend Run.

I think you said Rev and Run. I don't know. Wait, what am I doing wrong? Well, I just feel like people don't... Am I pronouncing the D too much? No, I feel like people don't actually call him the full name. Oh. Oh, you said Reverend.

Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, I don't know. But... You're not on a friend basis yet. No, I'm not. I don't know. You got to respect your elders.

He had a really shitty reality show a few years back. Run's House? Was it Run's House? Dude, Run's House wasn't shitty. That was not a good show dude come on i tried are you serious dude he used to write like journal entries into his blackberry while taking a bath it was tight everybody's done that though yeah that's true well have you seen what's happening with their laid off staff now or the staff that they want to lay off yeah so they're not doing

well he stepped down by the way after the the fallout from this um expose he stepped down as ceo but he still owns a huge part of the company. This headline is what caused me to bring up WeWork this morning. It was just that WeWork has reportedly postponed thousands of layoffs because it's too broke to pay workers severance.

They've delayed thousands of layoffs because it doesn't have enough money to pay them severance, the Wall Street Journal reported. The company, which is to be in danger of running out of cash by next month without new funding is planning on cutting jobs to save money so and apparently employees are very concerned about their we work shares that they hold oh buddy which like i want to be like guys that's the last that is the last of your worries do not worry about your shares so they got so this bank soft bank which i don't i'm not gonna i don't work with a bank called soft bank first of all more of a hard bank guy yeah imagine

imagine like going with soft bank it's not the name um man i'd love to read this wall street journal article but uh paywall shout out to them anyway he got this dude got the ultimate golden parachute like so they've lost 39 billion dollars of value from where they were they were they were they came in with like a 40 billion dollar eval right well softbank gave him a 47 so okay it's a little bit of an insider deal there so they came in they bought him out his exit package includes uh almost a billion dollars in stock sales a hundred now he's getting 185 million dollar consulting fee which i could imagine shout out to that dude could be paid the employee's severance that 185 million dollar consulting fee which i assume is cash probably

should go to the employees that are like what the fuck well and that was this dude's whole thing is like he tried to preach preach a communal environment. It turns out he was full of shit, weird. He's getting a $500 million line of credit as well, which is tight. That's more than I have. That's more. Yeah, I just got approved for the Apple card yesterday,

and my line of credit is only like $7,500. Are you really doing it? He said he got duped. It was accidental. I was setting up my apple pay and all of a sudden i i had an apple card and i was like yeah i don't know what just happened like that now i just have another credit card so so uh yeah this dude's not very popular on the twitter right now there's bigger stories out there but this is just uh this is a follow-up and

um i gotta say i don't condone this, but God, I respect this dude for landing on his feet. Yeah, he did okay in this deal. Well, he's also still got four of his properties are leased to WeWork. So we still got the company paying him on top of that just every month. Does this mean we could get a WeWork potentially for pennies on the dollar? You'd think, yeah. Like, have they dropped their prices yet

to match what's going on? No, I think they're still egregious in the Austin area. We've talked about this. We looked into it. Oh, I looked it up, and I was like, is that just an Austin problem? I would imagine it's any, like, hot spot for people. I don't think like little rocks outrageous

tough prices dude you don't have to do sorry for doing a little like that yeah what is that as soon as i said it i i we could get our own space for much less than if you just run a we work yeah yeah but dude you don't have like the cool like tequila shots you don't have the cool clientele around you and stuff i hate other people a bunch bunch of Hansels walking around. Yeah. What does that mean? Wow. Wow. Oh. Hansel.

Wow. Wow, Brett. You got to do it, man. Who are you trying to get crazy with? Don't you know I'm loco? Oh, podcasting. Ever saw the second one? I didn't either.

That would be hilarious if they did a third and Hansel had a podcast. Oh, podcasting. Ever saw the second one? I didn't either. That would be hilarious if they did a third and Hansel had a podcast. Like that would be, wow. That would be a thing that happens. She's called wow. Wow, with Hansel. Have you guys subscribed to the Office podcast where it's just Jenna Fisher and what's her face? Just recapping episodes?

No. I hope people are listening. I imagine it's pretty popular. It's like the number one podcast out there right now. Is it really? Yes. So it's going well. It was, they released a nine second teaser for it.

And then like, I don't know. I mean, my fear, do you really need to watch it? Listen to this? No, no.

My fear for Jenna Fisher though, was like, so she did a blades of glory. And then I really, and I know she had a show maybe last year, maybe earlier this year. And I don't know how it did, but I didn't want her to like not have a career after the office. Yeah. And I don't know how it's going for, I'm sure she's doing really well. Probably Lord knows she's doing better than I am, but, uh, I'm hoping this podcast takes off for her. I'm not going to listen. She's doing better than I am But I'm hoping this podcast Takes off for her She's doing fine

She's doing fine Even without the pod I kind of have been giving her shit For still sucking the office teeth Which She's got those residuals coming in She's doing really well But if somebody offered me thousands of dollars

After Circling Back ended And was like hey we want you to recap circling back episodes with dave and dylan i'd be like yeah let's do that oh you would yeah it seemed a little sad to me yeah i'm just like trying to just but if i need the cash i'm doing live like you know magic that we captured way back in the day it'd just be sad it's like uh it's like showing up at a uh corporation who just laid off 20% of its staff and doing It's Tricky 30 years after the song dropped. It's exactly like that. I mean, it truly is the same thing.

It's tricky, though. You know what? I'm going to give one episode a listen, actually. I'm going to go against everything I just said. I'm going to check it out. I'm not going to subscribe, but I might end up subscribing. Is it her and Angela?

Yeah. They're like I to subscribe, but I might end up subscribing. Is it her and Angela? Yeah. They're like IRL best friends, I think. You know Angela, actually a former Baylor great. What sports did she play? Kevin went to SMU. Kevin's frat. Oh shit. Was he in a frat? 35 corridor represent.

He was just tailgating on the boulevard. He was a frat. I think he was a theater guy. Well, that makes sense. He's an actor. He could have been a frat. I don't know if he was a frat. I think he was a theater guy. Well, that makes sense. He's an actor. He could have been a frat. I don't know. You're saying theater guys can't be frat? No, definitely not. It looks like he could take down a case of beer pretty easily.

Kevin spilling his chili is still the most sad thing I've ever seen on that show. Yeah. I felt so bad for him. Let's just talk about The Office the rest of this episode. Should we just recap Office episodes? Yeah. Let's do bad for him. Let's just talk about the Office of the Rest of this episode. Should we just recap Office episodes? Yeah. Let's do the dinner party. Okay.

That was fucking funny, man. Yeah, let's do it. Dude, that was funny. That one part. Dude, that was so funny. Dude, Michael was like, I love this TV. Remember when Jim looked at the camera all weird? Oh, dude.

Oh, my God, dude. Dude, he was all of us. It's like he knew what was going on, and everyone else didn't, so he looked at the camera. In? Oh, dude. Oh, my God, dude. Dude, he was all of us. It's like he knew what was going on, and everyone else didn't, so he looked at the camera. In that moment, he was all of us. Like, it was tight. I mean, is there anything else with his boy work shit?

No, I don't know. I'm sure we're going to get dismissed as, like, dirty socialists, but, I mean, come on. Dude, sign me up. A dirty socialist? Sounds good. That would work. I mean, he mean he did i get it he sold his stock he owned that and he built the company up to getting that eval but the 185 billion dollar consulting fee all i want in life if nothing else is just

to at some point be paid as a consultant that's all i want that That is $850,000 for the 2,000 employees that are going to be laid off. You did the math. I looked at an article. Shouts to the Bloomberg article. You didn't have to admit that. We would have accepted that you did the math. Bloomberg free, no paywall? At least part of the article is free.

I'm now on a Vox article. Imagine paying for content. Imagine paying for content that's not spooky. Yeah, it's true. It's true. Or like all voicemail. Yeah. Yeah, or just like tight.

Like newsworthy content. Okay. You don't have to pay for this episode because it's free and presented by Public Rec. I like these pants. I wore some last night. I don't have to pay for this episode because it's free and presented by Public Rec. I like these pants. I wore some last night. I don't like these pants. I love these pants.

I'm Ash the Forest Green Button. I'm on a Navy. Dylan, you're the perfect case for this, okay? Yeah. Think about your favorite pair of raggedy old sweats. I know you have a lot. Okay. This could be maybe even like gym shorts too, like basketball shorts.

Okay, we don't have to go into all that. In your case, you were doing it way too often. Now there's a pair of pants that can do both. Introducing the all-day, everyday pant from Public Rec. These things close the gap between a stylish pair and a comfortable wear. They do feel like just lounge sweatpants when you have them on. I'll be honest, I was a little shook when I put them on for the first time and realized how comfortable they were.

I wasn't expecting that that the waistband sneaky is what does it yeah and you know your boy likes an elastic waistband oh i need it out of here style comfort versatility typically you can't get all three at least not in a pair of pants because somewhere along the way someone decided that comfortable just meant baggy that's no longer true. Nah. These things are tailored. They're great. Not exactly good to look... Sorry, I just...

I said not exactly good look to wear around town when you're just walking around in like giant sweatpants. Brett, you got something to say? Dylan, what happened the first time you put on these pants? Thank you.

You asked the exact question I was just about to ask. Well, yeah, thank you, Brett, for asking. So I got them in the mail and I wanted to try them on. I had dinner that night with my family real excited for it

but I had to try the pants on because I came you know you get something in the mail it's real exciting you gotta try it on see how it looks see how it feels they were so comfortable and looked so good that I didn't take them off I didn't plan to but I ended up wearing them to dinner that night they're shit they're incredible

I changed into some last night and my wife looked at me and she goes are you going somewhere i'm like yeah downstairs to watch uh basketball yeah yeah yeah that's huge that's a true story it's a true story well public recs all day everyday pants are the most versatile stylish and comfortable pants you'll ever own.

Do you want to hit the thunder or what? I don't. Do the organ at least. Oh, no, do the door. Do the door, the creaky door. I can't do it. This is what it sounds like going into the apartment. This is weird because this place is like brand new.

This is me crawling out of bed last night trying to figure out what apartment's haunted. This place is brand new. Brand new. No one else has lived in there. Or so I thought. No. So, dude. thought. No, so dude. Okay, so let me pull back the curtain a little bit. I know I'm a part of spooky season.

Yeah, this is probably more fitting for spooky season. We can't hold on to it. We have all these stories. And I believe the place that these people are coming from. That being said, I've never truly been a believer that ghosts are going to infiltrate my life. Until? It's the classic, it's never truly been a believer that ghosts are going to infiltrate my life. Until? It's the classic, it's never going to happen to me. Okay?

So last night, Sally and I, we settle into bed and we turn on the new Jenny Slate stand-up special on Netflix. Okay. Okay? It's a different stand-up special. She does her normal stand-up, but she also has a lot of other footage from her childhood house with her sisters and her family in the in the stand-up uh she mentions that her house that she grew up in was haunted and that it kind of still affects her and i was like oh that's interesting like it actually affects her so sally's like do you believe in ghosts and that

kind of stuff and i was like not really like i don't really think big deal well i guess they heard me talking shit because around 5 a.m this morning a little before 5 a.m i hear a loud crash in my apartment i thought somebody was breaking in that that was my initial reaction that would be most people's initial response to that yeah sally jumps up she immediately goes to the door and i'm like don't go to the door so she's the alpha no she's close to the door okay she's close to the door and i was like don't go to the door like let's fucking handle this and so rosie gets up and starts kind of like looking around like what's going on i'm freaking out and sally looks and she goes your golf bag fell over and i'm like okay like that's weird my golf bag which stand. And I'm like, okay, like that's weird.

My golf bag is sitting outside of our bathroom door and outside of our bedroom door. And it's a Callaway golf bag, major shots to Callaway. And it was standing up on the kickstand. What do you call it? The legs. The legs. Like the legs are out. It's a sturdy tripod.

And somehow this bag fell over at five in the morning. Wood floors? Wood floors. See, sometimes if you stick the legs out too far and then you set it down, it can do the splits a little bit, you know? I've had that happen. It happens.

But I imagine that it's been there for a while. It's been there for a while. It has the rubber sole, basically, on the end of the legs. Yes. It's strange. Never once have I had this bag fall over, whether I'm on the course, whether it's like anywhere. It's never fallen over before.

And had I walked into my apartment, it slammed the door and it fell over. I'm like, okay, I guess there's some type of justification for this. Instead, there was no no there was nothing and so i haven't i i've been up since about 4 45 couldn't sleep after that i woke sally up about 5 45 and i was like hey do you think our place is haunted and she was just like are you seriously waking me up right now to talk about our place being haunted um first of all it's very disrespectful to do to your clubs you have nice clubs. Yeah.

You want to bring that epic off the floor? No, I haven't even hit the new wedges that we got with our faces on them. And now they've, they've just been, yeah, that's a problem. Now they're just sitting on the floor. Um, you got to think gravity had something to do with this. Um, and plus wood floors. I'm trying to look for the uh logical explanation right uh that being said i think the only reasonable explanation for this to have happened is that

you have some kind of poltergeist honestly yeah so in your apartment which like i said before the pod at least it's an apartment complex so it's's not like this house that you're tied to. Let me ask you this forever. Your apartment building, you're the first occupant of that unit, right? Correct. It's brand new. Correct. What was on that property before they built that apartment complex?

It's hard to say. Is it? I don't know. I have no clue. I'm not familiar enough with the area to know what was there beforehand. I can't recall what used to be there. So the first, when we toured the apartments, the first apartment we went into smelled like someone died in it.

What? It smelled so bad that we went back down to the front office and we were like, hey, we're not complaining, but this is just some advice. You probably shouldn't let anyone go in that apartment until you figured out the smell like it's so pungent that sally and i we loved the layout of the apartment it was probably the best one but we were like we can't do this because we i'm not positive the smell will go away don't you have a weird neighbor our neighbor our neighbor moved out our sketchy neighbor moved out maybe he was doing some kind of ritual entirely possible he brought something in from another

dimension and it's looking for the neighbor the neighbor moved out and now it's just like well what's will up to he's like trying to get in my bed he maybe he just tripped on the golf clubs when he was trying to go into my bedroom and ask me questions about my neighbor he probably saw your epic flash in the bag it's like oh shit this guy means business i want to cop this thing and then he just actually knocked over your bag is he a lefty it's hard to say man that's a good point i think most poltergeists are left-handed why it's just how they are i don't know because like because in the afterlife you switch it like flips it's just upside down i've never i've never expressed that i don't really believe in ghosts on spooky season and it just

freaked me out like last night was the first time this spooky season that i've said no i'm not really a ghost guy and then two like a few hours later my shit's all i i wouldn't be that worried about it because golf bags fall down i know you say yours has never fallen but that combined with the fact that it was on a wood floor like i don't think that's that crazy to think that that thing could have just fallen on its own it doesn't make sense occam's tas Taser. Simplest explanation is the probable explanation. I'm more of an Occam's Blazer guy. Isn't it Occam's Razor? I thought it was Razor.

Occam's Taser. Wait, what is Occam's Razor? Occam's Blazer is a P-groove song. It goes pretty hard. I want to look this up. The simplest explanation is most likely the... Occam's Razor

is a principle from philosophy? Okay. Was it funny? I thought this was like a physics thing. Dylan's always had a soft spot for philosophy. That was Kant. What? Chekhov's gun.

Occam's taser. Is that a real thing? I was a phantom guy. Chekhov's gun? No, Occam's taser. No, it was just a joke. It's the razor. It's a problem-solving principle that states

entities should not be multiplied without necessity. Is this what you're going for? Yeah. It's the simplest explanation is probable or whatever. Whatever the wording is. I will never forget the fact that you said Occam's Taser. And then Will said Occam's Blazer. Well, that's a song.

Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. Hey, Will, I'm getting an unknown call right now. I don't understand. Dude, you better answer. It's the ghost, dude. Dude, answer and see if it's the ghost.

Answer. Answer. Is it Will's ghost? I'm all set. Thank you. So it wasn't my ghost. Okay. Ooh, but what if your ghost works at the bank?

Yeah, what if my ghost just cold calls people? I don't understand this Occam's razor. Yeah, I don't know where he's trying to go with it. Can someone mansplain Occam's razor to me right now? It's the fact that the bed probably slipped on the wood floor and gravity took over. Suppose there exists two explanations for an occurrence. I'm reading this from Wikipedia, by the way. Okay.

In this case, the one that requires the smallest number of assumptions is usually correct. Another way of saying it is that the more assumptions you have to make, the more unlikely an explanation. The simplest one is most likely the correct one. So I'm assuming there's a ghost in my apartment that tipped over the bag. To me, that's the simplest explanation. Yeah. What else could it be? It's the simplest explanation yeah what else could have i that's it's the first thing i thought of yeah to be fair like to be fair i did have that moment last night

that we talked about last week of like what i do during a home invasion which is no one ever wants to go i do want to say major shouts to me for telling sally to get back in bed because i was like yeah you only want to go lock the door or anything it's to the bedroom yeah i'll to be fair to not to throw shade in my apartment complex the bedroom door doesn't really stay shut like so even if you lock it someone can just push it open i'm not locking my bedroom door all that often you said you didn't call micah no that's a thing you know micah would have been sprinting up to your your place yes you know micah yeah someone i sprinting up to your your place yes you know micah yeah someone i don't know if it's a tweeter on the subreddit they were just saying

that they were laughing out loud at the idea of like me being held hostage by someone that broke in my place and then micah just like bursting down the door and busting down the door i was like yeah that is actually a really great idea like the kool-aid man exactly micah would kill for any of us yeah it's just the kind of guy he is that sucks about an apartment because there's only one exit so like you couldn't um i don't know what floor you're on but it's not like you could jump out your window my window is an all-time bad window to jump out of it's three stories up yeah that's a breaker the only like underneath it is just pure pavement it's just a moat with gators and stuff. I don't even have a porch.

Mike is on the first floor. Yeah. He backs up to that courtyard. He's got two exits. He's good. Yeah, he actually does. Man, have you thought about setting up a cam? The first thing I'm going to do is have a seance.

Oh, I don't... Saison? No. So I might have a saaison during my seance. You're just going to start drinking? Dude, how did we not come up with that? Saison, Saison. Pretty good.

Remember when KJ thought of that beer at Hard to Saison? Yeah, that's good. That's really good. That's really good. That's really good. That KJ guy. I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm definitely going to do a little more research.

Pull out the blueprints. the forensic team there man i am considering posting in our apartment like thing saying hey is it did anyone have anything supernatural happen around 4 45 this morning missed out on the blueprints if i really wanted to say that i feel like we've infiltrated your brain it's bad I'll shut up and listen thanks man do you think maybe your place was built by gozer worshippers gozer again?

gozer the gozerian again with the ghostbusters deaf ears I'll keep you guys posted I'll have an update on Tuesday's spooky season here's another thing I'm sorry is this a false flag to drive up

hype for spooky season no this is another thing I made my apartment a little spooky last night for the first time I never do Halloween stuff I bought some seasonal gourds yesterday at the grocery store and I set them up and sure enough where are they set up right next to the golf bag I think these are potentially seasonal gourds yesterday at the grocery store and i set them up and sure enough where they set up right next to the golf bag i think these are potentially haunted gourds i'm

gonna take a photo of the entire situation when i get home and i will post it on the story i think that's a good idea yeah i will let everyone know the exact scenario and everything that happened there's apps you can download that'll like record white noise and stuff uh and just you can download that'll record white noise and stuff. And you can go back and listen to see if there's anything overnight. Okay. Because I had a buddy who moved into a house that he believed was haunted. Because he went to bed. He lived there by himself. And his shoes were moved to the outside of his bedroom door.

Like, perfectly placed. Which is really fucking creepy. Fuck that. I know people who lived in a really old home in Houston. like perfectly placed which is really fucking creepy fuck that I know people who lived in a really old home in Houston and they would at night

they would hear like furniture shifting upstairs while they were all downstairs and they would go up there in the Chernoff like it would be all in different places

yeah stop moving furniture yeah if I'm a ghost like the last thing I'm gonna do is move someone's furniture or maybe it was downstairs when they were upstairs

sleeping yeah I hated I'd be like I hated moving ghost, the last thing I'm going to do is move someone's furniture. Or maybe it was downstairs when they were upstairs sleeping. I hated moving furniture in the actual life. Yeah. I don't want to do that in the afterlife. Exactly. Maybe they were interior decorators and they were appalled at how they had the house set up. The feng shui or whatever. Yeah, the feng shui was all fucked up.

Is that right? Is it feng shui? Feng shui. The final concern I have is that, and we'll end on this up is that right is it feng shui feng shui the final the final concern i have is that and i'm gonna end on this is that uh rosie since she was a puppy barks at like light so if there's like a light on the wall a reflection off someone's watch the sun reflecting on someone's phone she's just fixated on it it's it's the old it's the old owner's fault he did some stuff with her as a puppy that breeds that kind of behavior. It's not good. Now I'm wondering if she's just barking at ghosts.

I was about to tell you, until Rosie starts doing weird shit, I think you're fine. She's doing weird shit. Oh, no. It was especially bad yesterday. What was she doing? Really? Yes. Don't make that up.

Just add to your story. Yesterday, when I was outside, and you guys know i was outside for a long ass time oh yeah because i had i had a bad scenario oh yeah i was outside with rosie played for about an hour and uh i didn't even like play with her much she was just chasing shadows the entire time this guy comes out maybe i have to interview him maybe he's the culprit he comes out he's like man she really likes chasing those shadows and i was like like, yeah, it's weird. He's like, yeah, I've never seen dogs do that so diligently. Wow. Just saying.

Dude, Occam's Taser, I'm telling you. It's probably that. Might be the blazer, too. Yeah. Dylan's an Occam's Taser guy. Occam's Glazer. Oh, man. Oh, donut holes.

Yeah. No, like Jay Glazer. Oh. Right. Man, that's a scary story, holes. Yeah. No, like Jay Glazer. Oh. Right. Man, that's a scary story, Will. Sorry. We had to talk this out. No. I don't feel good about it.

Look, this is your safe space, man. Should we have a little fun now instead? Is it time? Yeah. Yeah, I'd like to have fun. Let's do this weekend in fun. Okay. I will start.

Okay. I will start. So Friday, Parks has a little Halloween school festivity thing. It's called Spooktacular. Can we go? Yeah. You can. How are we not doing a live pod from there?

You know, a bunch of grown men going to an elementary school with recording equipment. It's just kind of a weird look, I think. You have a son there, though, so that legitimizes us. Still. You can go. It's a fundraiser. You got little things you can buy tickets for. Are they going to do a cakewalk?

They're going to do a cakewalk. What's a cakewalk? You want to know what a cakewalk is, bitch? It's the biggest beating. Dude, a cakewalk is tight. What's a cakewalk? All right. So they're like, there are numbers in a circle. Okay.

And basically, they play music. And everyone, you pay like, you know, a dollar or two to walk around the circle. And when the music stops, you find a number and you stop on it. And then someone will say, number four. And then you win a cake. People make the cakes from home. And I was always weirded out by that because I was like,

I don't know who made this fucking cake. Yeah, that's fair. Cakewalk, bitch. That's fair. There's definitely some people you don't want cake. Like some parents that you look at as a kid

and you're like, I don't want cake from you. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. Like I've been to your house and played with your son. Your kitchen is disgusting. We can get our faces painted.

We can decorate pumpkins. You should get your face painted. Get full Joker makeup. Might do that. Will you ask them? You should get your face painted. Get full Joker makeup. Might do that. Will you ask them? Do that for the homie. Just like, and just make them take

like an hour to do it while all these kids are just waiting around trying to get like sailboats on their face and shit. That'd be bad. You're going to get a long horn on your cheek, aren't you?

No, I'm not going to get my face painted, period, David. I could see you doing that. Jerk. Okay, so Saturday. Is there a dunk tank? Sorry, last question. I could see you doing that. Jerk. Okay, so Saturday. Is there a dunk tank? Sorry, last question. I've gotten many questions about this spooktacular festival. I don't think there's a dunk tank. I think it's too cold

to have a dunk tank going. It's going to be pretty cold Friday. Okay. That's fair. I just love dunk tanks. They're so much fun. Of course you do. And then Saturday, my family's having a little birthday celebration for your boy. I will be driving to San Marcos where my sister and brother-in-law live.

Whole squad going. You're celebrating your birthday in San Marcos? You've been going down there a lot lately. No, I haven't. I have not. Shut up, Dave. We're going to have a little birthday dinner, a little birthday celly for me. And then I'm waking up Sunday and I'm playing golf with Kendall, my brother-in-law.

Can you disclose where you're going to dinner? I'm always curious where people go to eat in San Marcos these days. We are not going anywhere. My sister is cooking, I believe. Oh, really? Yeah. Got chicken fried steak for you? Shouts to Haley.

I think we're doing lasagna. Ooh. What? You might get a lasagna off. Dude, that's tight. Pretty pumped about that. Yeah, and then golf Sunday.

Can't wait, man. That's a weekend for you. A real solid weekend. Tight. What about you, Dave? I don't know. I think I'm going back to Deville Friday.

Old dunk, huh? Yeah. We'll see. TBD, but we'll be playing golf if I go up there. I'm playing golf either way. Some golf will be played.

That's all I'm saying. If I go up, I might try to catch a Duncanville game. Okay. I don't think they have a home game this week, but I would go. I would go check it out. And then, God, Cowboys bye week. That sucks. We need it.

No, dude, embrace it. I just... Embrace it. Let's get healthy. You're right. Let's get healthy. Let's get healthy. Big win, big dub Sunday night.

You might have rather had the bye week after last week's game, not this past week's game. Why? Recover. I wouldn't want a bye week after a bad loss though because yeah well there's two i guess there's two schools of thought gotta get that mo back yeah yeah but now you have the mo but then you have a bye week is the mo halted it's true it's true they get the giants monday night when they're back so i feel good about that yeah you should based on the first game of the

year yeah i think you should feel again i feel good about the jets game of the year, yeah, I think you should feel okay about that. Then again, I feel good about the Jets game. Fair. I'm seeing ghosts out there. Hey. Yeah, man. So could be low-key. Good chance of that. Either way, I'll have a good time.

I'll have a good, fun weekend. Hopefully I got some stuff to recap. Maybe a high school sports minute on Monday. Maybe. Okay, great. It's exciting. weekend hopefully i got some stuff to recap maybe a high school sports minute on monday maybe okay great it's exciting yeah it's really not but thank you though will your boy's got a weekend your boy's got a weekend um friday night going out on a little date night with sally we're going to a restaurant that has like a pre-fixed dinner menu kind of thing.

We're going to get a date off. I'll be honest. I'm not happy with the pre-fixed menu. They switched it on me after I made the reservation. So, I mean, I asked Sally, we want to cancel. They're not doing Wagyu beef anymore. We're getting lamb belly or something. Have you ever had lamb belly?

Only pork belly. I've never had lamb belly. Lamb belly is good though. We're going to find out on Friday what lamb belly tastes like. Didn't tell you. Saturday morning. Saturday and Sunday are the days. Going to a Premier League fan fest.

You guys have RSVP'd, right? I've told you numerous times on this very podcast. You know I'm going to be there. Okay. I'm very excited for that. I'm going to use Saturday as my kind of test the waters day. See what it's like. If it's too busy, too many people, I'm going to bow out and regroup for Sunday.

But if you're down there, holler. I'll be sipping beers. It's going to be beer sipping weather. That sounds like the opportunity for craft beer guys to go crazy. Yeah. I mean, I don't know what the deal is. I don't know if they're going to have all the games on and stuff i don't know what they're gonna have like i just i don't know the whole scenario i need to look up these other fan fests that they've done and see i want to see the

venn diagram of craft beer snobs and uh soccer fans oh it'll be there i'm excited to see how many portland timbers jerseys there are are they doing this because of the fc austin like just to kind of like put some hype there I'm not sure I don't think so because it's English

you know it's all England they broke ground on that by the way see that no it's big but it should be fun

they're gonna have the trophy there that's all I care about for some reason what's the trophy called I don't know I don't think they have like a name for it

it's probably a really corporate name honestly it's probably like probably a really corporate name, honestly. It's probably like the Barclay Card Premier League trophy. The FedEx Cup. Yeah. All right, that's already been taken. But it's tight. And then Sunday night is the night.

I usually don't like going and doing stuff on Sunday nights. And this Sunday, I'll be going to a sushi restaurant in Austin with Micah and Sally and Sally's sister. And we will be watching a sushi chef break down a 180 pound bluefin tuna. Big tuna. Might not sound electric, but I think it's going to be absolutely electric. They're doing sake tastings during it. They're going to have some, they're going to be passing the tuna out prepared in different ways.

I'm very excited to see what this is all about. I've never, I've never seen 180 pound tuna get broken down before in front of me. Are they going to distribute all 180 pounds of that thing to the guests? It's hard to say. I looked up photos from the old breakdowns that they did and it looks like there's a lot of tuna being passed around.

That's a lot of meat to go around. That's like someone breaking me down and serving me. You could feed a small village with that. If you're offshore and you catch a tuna, how is it to like and you're like dude i got 180 pounds of tuna so do you just go where do you go to get that broken down like you you know a deer processing place like they'll they'll do that for you like a meat market but where do you take a tuna i'm sure my anglers out there will let me know i think you take it to that uh the meat market at in seattle pike place market they just throw it around you just walk up there and you just throw that thing to the people behind the counter 180 pounds that's a pretty you'd have

to have like goat man or something well it might take a couple of you to lift that thing and and chuck it back there but you can do it yes that's where you're supposed to take it why don't it be so great to have that much tuna like just in your fridge oh oh protein for day just fillets chop it up. You might get mercury. I'm just going to town on that shit. You know? Yeah.

It's tuna time. That'll be fun, man. I'm excited. I got a lot planned this weekend. I'm going to try to not... My goal for this weekend, after these last few weekends with Brent, is to not be hungover.

Don't let Brent near you. I've had two straight weekends with two straight days of hangovers. And I don't want that. FanFest sounds like a wild card. Yeah, but it's early. It starts, like, doors open at 6 a.m. So, like, the games will be done at 2. I'll be fine.

If we're at FanFest, Will, at like 4 o'clock or 5 o'clock on Saturday, there's no promises. Oh, shit. You and I might be going to that men in blazers meet up at a rustic tap yeah it could be a problem for you yeah that could be a problem for my dinner resi on saturday my resi's right down the street no i think it's friday oh okay all right well then we could have major problems hey brett you want to go yeah i'll go. Friday morning, we had discussed possibly playing golf. I don't know if that's still on the table or not. I can't remember what happened. It's going to be cold.

It's going to be like 57, which is perfect. No, but like there's potential rain. If we're playing in the morning, it's going to be in the 40s. If there's rain, we're not playing golf, but it was discussed. Friday afternoon, I officially scheduled my Department of Public Safety, like sit in line and wait for my license stuff. Fun. So I'm going to be there Friday afternoon.

Enjoy. Which I'm psyched for. And then Will and I think maybe do the Rustic Tap thing. Yeah. I think that's going to be in the cards for Friday night. I don't fanboy for a lot of stuff, but I'm a big Men in Blazers guy. They're good dudes. Yeah.

So I kind of want to say what up. So that's kind of that plan. Saturday, Sunday, pretty wide open for me. Are you going to do the Hey, I'm a podcaster too thing? No. Are you going to wear a blazer? No.

You have to wear a blazer. No, I'm not going to wear a blazer. Do they wear blazers for public meetups? They always have blazers on. They own the brand. That's cool. They're very good at wearing blazers. You want to do this weekend? You want to wear a blazer? I'm going to book a ski trip. Okay. They own the brand. That's cool. They're very good at wearing blazers.

You want to do this weekend? Wear a blazer? I'm going to book a ski trip. So am I. Really? I think that's the plan, yeah. We got to pick a date, dog. There's two weekends that have been, I think, like A and B right now.

The third weekend of January, the third weekend of February. Okay. Let's go. Let's go. Let's do it. I'm ready. Okay. Let's go. Let's go. Let's do it. I'm ready. Okay. I'm ready to fucking do it.

At some point this weekend, I'm going to listen to the three-hour Joe Rogan, Edward Snowden podcast. Hell yeah. I'm pretty fired up about that. It's going to be an interesting one. Three hours. It sounds fantastic. Yeah, I thought so too. But yeah, that's really it. I'm going to probably drink a couple beers.

That's the plan. It's going to be a cold weekend, so I'm psyched about that. Yeah, I am too. Cold front blowing through Friday. Oh, yeah. Very exciting. Will, what are you concerned over there? What are you doing?

No, I'm just getting some more information regarding uh brett and my happy hour on friday okay is it you have a look in your face like oh no it's good okay it's good we're good i think it's it's it's friday the 25th friday is the 25th here we're go. It's Friday. Starts at 6 p.m. It's perfect. I'll go straight to dinner. What time is your resi? 8. Oh, boy.

That's a good time for an advance. I apologize in advance, Sally. If we missed the resi? Yeah, we might miss. Who cares? Sally might. I've already paid for it, which is a problem. I have my money. Hey, Will, I have some breaking news.

Oh, we haven't done this in a little bit. You were gone on Monday. Thanks for just not telling us you were not going to be here. Yeah, just straight up ghosted. So do you guys a little choose your adventure here? Do you want to go MLB, Charles Barkley, or Hyperniche Saratoga Friends? I kind of want to hear

about the Saratoga Friends. Yeah, I can't explain why, but I want Hyperniche Saratoga Friends. Hyperniche Saratoga Friends. Yeah, I can't explain why, but I want Hyperniche Saratoga Friends. Hyperniche Saratoga Friends, sure, great start. Shouts to my buddy Christian, who is a listener to this podcast. I was at his wedding in May, and he just passed the bar today, the New York State bar. Huge. Congrats, Christian.

Shouts to Christian, great dude. Thanks for listening, player. He's the guy who got us, for Grimmson's gift, the embroidered golf shoe bags. Oh, that's a good one. It's a great gift. Very good gift. So, shouts to Christian.

Congrats on passing the bar, buddy. In Charles Barkley news, Charles Barkley had a quote last night. You guys see this? No. No? He said the jerseys, like a player's jersey, can only be worn by three types of people. Oh, no. Oh, yeah.

Here we go. Somebody who's actually played before, little kids, or hot women. So not drunk white frat dudes? That's pretty funny. Nor drunk white like uncles. Yeah.

Not just like hard fives either. Is he getting some pushback? Yeah. Yep. Oh, whatever. Is he getting some pushback? Yeah. Yep. Oh, whatever. Some pushback on Charles on that one. The reason I don't wear that kind of thing is, I mean, there's numerous reasons,

but one of the main ones is shoulder hair. Oh, yeah. No one wants shoulder hair sticking out of their Barkley jersey. I have a few stragglers. I have a few stragglers. Just wait, Brett. Do you all have shoulder hair? Dude.

I don't have shoulder hair. I just have a couple that pop up once in a while, so I just rip them out. Shoulder hairs are definitely like, oh, I'm getting old. I don't think I've worn a jersey since I was nine, so I think this is fine for me. I definitely have since I was nine.

Oh, I wore one less than a year ago. Where'd you wear it to? Mav Spurs, their last game in San Antonio. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's 100% okay. Yeah, look, I get I'm not a hot lady or a little kid, but you think I'm not wearing that dirt jersey? Come on.

Come on. Oh, Chuck. Take it back. I wore a Carter Beaufort number 41 jersey to a Dave Matthews concert. Okay. Hey, what's the MLB news? I didn't actually do that. That would be aggressive.

That would be. MLB news is David Ross is now the Cubs manager. Ah. Okay. Which I think is a good pickup. I've liked him on ESPN and as a player. I don't know about a manager thing. It feels very Aaron Boone when the Yankees got him where it's like,

oh, he's good on ESPN. Let's hire him. Like John Rudin, same thing. Gabe Kapler? Isn't Gabe Kapler kind of weird? He's a psychopath. Yeah, he's a juicehead. He's an absolute health nut.

Who is he? Phillies. Yeah. He got camp. Okay, yeah. Sorry to anyone out there who's yelling at their radio right now. I haven't been following baseball much lately, especially Gabe Kapler. Yeah.

I think we're going to have a World Series on our hands, though, guys. Yeah, I really liked it. Because I think the Astros have to be heavily favored, right? So you've got to like that the Nationals picked up game one. Yeah, give me all the Nats. Nobody beats Garrett Cole. No, literally. Also, he's, didn't realize this,

he's free after this year. Yeah. It'd be a real shame if he came up I-45. To all the people out there who are like tweeting out the photo of like the Tigers rotation

with Anibal Sanchez and Scherzer and Verlander, fuck off. It's not like these guys didn't do anything in Detroit. We went to two World Series and yeah, we got smoked in both of them. But it's not like we sucked with them. We were the best team in baseball with them a couple years without winning World Series.

Like, fuck off. I got really mad last night. Did you? Had it been Verlander versus Scherzer last night, that would have stung a little bit. Scherzer didn't have it, have stung a little bit. But... Scherzer didn't have it, but he battled, man. Fuck him.

He's the only person on the Nats that I'm not cheering for. Everyone else, I'm in. This double eye color thing is... Sexy? Wild. Yeah. Can't get over it. There's a lot of dogs that have that, I feel like.

Yeah, but he's the only person I've seen with it. I know that it exists. Other people have it. Speaking of dogs, have that, I feel like. Yeah, but he's the only person I've seen with it. I know that it exists. Other people have it. Speaking of dogs, can I give you a strange coincidence? You know how I found Enzo Sunday? My dad found a dog yesterday, as did my sister. What? Yes.

All three rough households. It is spooky. It's getting too spooky. It's too spooky. Come on. Fuck this. I was on the phone with my mom. She's like, hang on.

Your dad just took Sophie for a walk, and there's another dog in the backyard. And he's like, yeah, I found this dog on Streets Westridge. So he's like, it's a tiny dog, a 10-pound dog. So he just carried it home. It had a tag and got it to the owners, who, by the way, were less than grateful. Said one word, said thanks.

Like, okay, dude. But yeah, my sister texted me last night a photo of a golden that she found. Very strange. Owner came and got it as well. So all three dogs have been placed back in their homes. The case of the wandering dogs. What's going on, man?

I don't know. But if that's the haunting and it's just you find dope dogs, that's tight. my haunting is just a dude like throwing my golf clubs on the ground and yours is just dogs showing up at your place like that you got a good ghost i don't want to know what dillons is gonna be this is like comparing schedules for like middle school it's like oh yeah what do you have like second hour it's like oh fuck my schedule sucks what do you think my ghost what do you think my ghost would do, Dave? Man. Something with bleach? No.

Okay. That's aggressive. He's got a baseball rolling down the hallway. Yeah. The Eastons in the closet are just like flying into the other. That would creep me out, man. I think Dave, it's like his last name.

They're just kind of attracted to that. Rough. Rough. Rough. Rough. Yeah. It makes you think. It makes you think. Hey, I'm going to do Popeyes today. Really? Wait. Whoa. Rough. Rough. Yeah. It makes you think. It makes you think.

Hey, I'm going to do Popeyes today. Really? Wait. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Okay. Whoa.

Starting this weekend at fun a little early. Are you sure you want to do that? Yeah, I'm positive. It's midweek. I saw a tweet that had the word Popeyes in it, and my brain-stomach connection just clicked. So I'm going to do Popeyes today. I haven't done it in six months oh so you've done it before okay yeah you know what you're getting into i know what i'm getting

into i don't think i'm gonna do the sandwich i just want the tenders uh shout out to the listener who called the pipeline i couldn't play your your voicemails but it was him eating popeyes for the first time okay and like one of them you could literally hear him like chewing the chicken that sounds like dylan's nightmare he was just like, oh my God. He was talking with his mouth full saying how good it was. It was uncomfortable, but I respected it. I couldn't play it just because it would have creeped out Dylan. But shout out to you.

I saw a tweet that said the sandwich was coming back. They keep doing this shit. It seems weird that they wouldn't put that same tweet on their Instagram. So now I'm wondering if it was even from them. I've never done the gravy before, Will. I think I'm going to do the gravy today because of your endorsement of it. You should.

You want to get loco? Yeah, let's go loco. Get a jalapeno pepper on the side. Okay. Slice it and just kind of squeeze it all over the chicken. Really? I'm assuming you're going to get spicy. I do get spicy chicken tenders.

Squeeze it on there. Adds a little bit more kick, obviously. Jalapeno juice will do that. I'm looking on the Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen, which is not the best at. They should probably just get at Popeye's. Yeah. Someone commented that the sandwich never even made it to Anchorage, Alaska to begin with. Shrug emoji.

And TBH, that's some serious bull. Haven't y'all heard of inclusivity alaska likes chicken sandwiches too dang hashtag did us dirty yeah and they're going through a rough time they have a the climate in alaska right now is all fucked up you heard about this well not just in alaska not just in alaska they're like 50 degrees above normal for the last five months that's a little that's a little scary crazy look at like alaska climate the last five months. That's a little scary. Look at Alaska climate the last six months. It's downright scary,

to be honest with you. Shout out to everybody in Alaska. Jesse. Should we get out of here? Yeah. He is up there now. All right. We'll holler at you guys on Friday.

Dude, he had to peel that sweat. Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave. It's been like two weeks true whatever let's get out of here bye Bye.
