all right we're back circling back podcast presented by busy hard sell to the only hard sell to with vitamin c from Superfruit Acerola. My name is Will DeFreeze. With me in the studio today, David Roth. This episode is going to be a lot like retail therapy. If instead of a guy who knows a lot about fashion and style, you replace that person with me. People don't realize that retail therapy is not a podcast. It's an opportunity for me to have uninterrupted conversations with Barrett about questions that I have regarding things that I'd like to do in life. It's my workaround for texting Barrett,

which he famously is not a very good responder to texts. One of the worst. I have taken the time and I have made it so that Barrett has to sit down with me for one hour every two weeks to just hash things out. So I'm trying to think how to say this. I know neither of you guys partake in this, but I would pay an undisclosed amount per month to listen to you

and barrett do copious amounts of cocaine and just talk about shit on a podcast it would get too dark too quick yeah it would get too dark right beyond the paywall yeah that would have to be paywall content because there there would be a time where i would unravel and if that was just free on youtube it would be difficult for me to uh to be okay with it floating around on on twitter what if i meet you halfway like what if so you do adderall like you do like an xr adderall or something you do an adderall but you take it like 12 hours prior so you guys get like the back end of it to where like you're kind of coming down and getting a little moody. And then it's just,

you just see what happens. Why don't we do content? Should we just do mushrooms? I feel like mushrooms are having a moment. Some are saying they are. I feel like everyone's doing mushrooms these days. I feel like I- No sponsor alert.

I just didn't think that mushrooms would be something that became so in vogue before weed was legalized everywhere. I kind of thought weed getting legalized would usher it in. We live in Texas. Here's a question I have, actually, for Texans. For, I guess, just everyone in general. Obviously, weed's not going to get legalized in Texas for a really long time. legalized in texas for a really long time does is joe biden who has famously uh said that people will be let out of jail for for certain offenses does this mean they're just gonna like cool the

jets on on charging people with this stuff or there are more court cases just gonna get thrown out believe it is still illegal at a federal level level okay excuse me okay um that being said you're seeing more um daring i'm trying to think of the best word to use uh forward thinking okay communities decriminalize it forward thinking on drug policy at least like saying all right well it's not legal but our officers are going to have discretion they're no longer going to you know cite people or arrest people for small amounts of weed whatever i didn't know we were going to have discretion and they're no longer going to, you know, cite people or arrest people for small amounts of weed, whatever. I didn't know we were going to go into this today, but I started it, so I can't be mad. That being said, I think this is all affected by the chip shortage.

Yeah, that makes sense. And when you factor that in with lunchflation, you've got a real boondoggle. You're to blame for the chip shortage, right? Because you just can't stop eating the chips and salsa. Yeah, well, thanks for bringing that up. I do have a chips and salsa problem, famously. If anyone's out there wondering why we haven't introduced Dylan today yet, it's because he's not here.

So, yeah, I don't think we're telling tales out of school Dylan is having that procedure done where they break your femur and it adds two in up to two inches of height yeah not height and yeah I mean kind of wish he would have waited till you know we take our little Christmas holiday sabbatical. But he's doing it now. So he should be back in about a month, albeit in a wheelchair or a motorized cart. Yeah. I talked to the doctor in the hospital where he's getting his femurs broken and getting them heightened.

I asked if we could have an esthetician come in to bleach his butt right while he was under since i know that he doesn't want to do that and i was actually told by um numerous people at the hospital including security guards who asked me to leave uh i was told that we couldn't do that we couldn't we couldn't get in the room they They claimed COVID protocols. But I think per Sleepy Joe, the pandemic's over. Well, let me say this. I didn't think today's episode was going to be a referendum on our healthcare policy.

But there should be an option when you're getting put under anesthesia to have other minor things done so you don't have to like repay to have something down the road you know what i'm saying so like let's say they're putting you under for no i don't know your teeth if this is taking money out of sally's pocket we need we need her to get as many anesthesia gigs as we can okay well like all i'm saying is i agree with your butt bleached while you're getting your teeth fixed or your legs broken or whatever, you should have that option. If I could get my teeth cleaned while I'm out for a major surgery, I would rather just do it while I'm out. It's like a tag team? Yeah.

Like once one finishes, tags out, other guy comes in. No, let's just let her do it at the same time. The same time? Same time. Just getting spit roasted? Sally gets pregnant again she she goes gets a c-section or something and i i get her to get her teeth cleaned while she's getting a c-section two birds one stone okay you get her to get her teeth cleaned during

a c-section yeah uh only true house of the dragon fans will understand this but uh you've got the wrong guy you've got the wrong guy on the other end i'm talking about ready yikes are you do you have a similar reaction randy that's what i've been saying anyway yeah dylan dylan will be back potentially this afternoon he's not actually having his legs broken no dylan's getting new teeth he lost all of his other teeth somehow yeah what if what if dylan actually just messed up he went to some like cheap bootleg doctor and he came up he came back to the studio and he just had straight up like aggressive veneer teeth i think that might be a possibility i feel like it's something they put in and then they're

gonna have to go back and alter. I don't know. I've never experienced such a thing. If there's one thing on my person that I've always been self-conscious about, it's my teeth. I think there's a lot of people out there like that. Same. I think everyone's more critical of their own teeth than other people are of their teeth. Especially when your wife, my wife and your wife for that matter, have great teeth. Oh, yeah.

And great, very photogenic smiles. And I'm like over here just soft smiling like, hmm. Yeah. When I saw the soft smile coming back into Vogue, I was like, yeah, I need to start soft smiling. No one smiles softer than I do. Do you think you can out soft smile me? No, I'm not very good at it. It makes me look weird.

People also, and this is another thing I'm self-conscious about. I know a lot of people are. People also, and this is another thing I'm self-conscious about, and I know a lot of people are, that people think that when they get photos taken of them, that they always look at their eyes and one's closed and the other one's wide open. Do you ever feel that about yourself? Yeah, but that's because I did lose an eye famously after I secured a dragon. And I was in a fight with the rightful heir to the throne. I'm sorry. Go on.

I didn't lose an eye. I want to say something. That's a good House of Dragons reference. I watch it. He watches House of Dragons. You're going to get an email about that. I watch Dragon Houses. That would be good.

I had Horner's Syndrome. Are you familiar with Horner's Syndrome? Yeah, it's something I struggle with daily. Yeah. It's something I struggle with daily. Yeah. Horner's syndrome is a condition that affects the face and eye on one side of the body. It's caused by the disruption of a nerve pathway. Is this what Bieber has? One of my eyes was always a little more shot.

Doesn't Bieber have some? His is different. Is his more serious? Yeah. I'm not making light of it i mean i don't to be honest i don't know how serious horner syndrome is uh because i was a baby when i had it and so they they remedied that pretty quickly for me oh but it says that it's uh very rare treatment can help but this condition cannot be cured they cured me somehow they did surgery though you're different though i'm bill different right i have two working

eyes now that's right would it change things if you found out that you had some sort of like um implant in your eye like um cochlear if you will maybe uh in your ear cyborg i don't know isn't cochlear your ear probably but what if it was in your ear too i'd be fine with that i i need something in my ear. My ears are so fucking plugged lately. You need to do that candle thing where it clears it out. I think I just need to go to... Yeah, I think I just need to go to a doctor and just have them do that thing where they just spray...

They just take a fire hose to your ears and just put all the stuff in it. You ever done that before? No, I'd like to have that done. Dude, they put a little thing. They put like a little trough against your ear and then they start cleaning it out and then they bring the trough away from your face and you can see all the stuff inside of it that they just washed out from your ear it's absolutely disgusting the color of this stuff is like gross browns oranges deep yeah i can imagine as it's inside of your ear canal

you station tubes should we do like should we do like a video where I go get my ears cleaned out? Tell Brett. Put a pitch deck together. Yeah, we can pitch it. Who should we pitch it to? I've got an ENT that I really like. Okay. I'm just saying.

I could use one. Yeah. I could holler at one. Right down there on 34th. You should check them out. Perfect. I'm doing it. Yesterday. The worst there on 34th. You should check them out. Perfect. I'm doing it. Yesterday, the worst I've ever turned to Patreon, patreon.com slash circling back podcast.

Tomorrow, we will be doing listener voicemails. Hopefully, and fingers crossed, fingers crossed that this happens. Hopefully, Dylan's anesthesia or numbing has not worn off by the time we record voicemails. And hopefully, he's like drooling the entire time. So I think if it is too significant he will if it's going to be any kind of an impediment to him speaking on the pod he will be like no guys i really can't and he just won't come in he's because he knows he's just going to get it's just if he does that if he does that i'll be very very upset i'll be very pissed at him for backing out on a time when we could get humor out of it.

So they're not putting him all the way under, correct? I don't know. I think it's local anesthesia. I was going to say, because this is a real opportunity to do like the Dubai was lit video part do, but with Dylan coming out of anesthesia. Just got a camera right in his face. Just seeing what kind of wacky stuff he says. Let's get bread over there. Let's just send bread over there and just hang out there.

Yeah. What's up? I'm here for the Dylan surgery. Like, Oh, are you immediate family? No, no.

I'm a business development guy. I'm actually going to record him. I'm his biz dev guy. Just as important. If you want to get a voicemail in 888-618-4422. Again, 888-618-4422. Again, 888-618-4422.

loaves of bread in uh phenomenal when i heard that we were getting wild grain on board you said you're like oh this is going to be pumped she's she's talked about that before and once i heard that they had the the elissa seal of approval that's when i knew that things were going well there's nothing quite like the smell of fresh, fresh baked bread coming out of the oven, especially on a chilly morning during the holidays. This is not a dream. My friend,

this can be all yours. Courtesy of wild grain. Wild grain is the first to bake from frozen box of artisanal bread. Plus they have amazing rolls, pastries, and even handmade pastas. Wild grain uses only clean ingredients such as unbleached and non-GMO flour. Dylan even likes it.

Correct. And it utilizes a slow sourdough fermentation process that's healthier for you and tastes better than anything you can find in the grocery store. Every item bakes from frozen in 25 minutes or less. Plus, for every new member, Wildgrain donates six meals to the Greater Boston Food Bank and they've donated over 120 000 meals so far this holiday season wild grain is featuring delicious new limited time sweet treats like pumpkin cinnamon rolls oh boy have you made those yet oh yeah we made those sunday morning

those are a problem we had some friends over and we just put those in the oven and guess what i mean they turned out great i feel like it's like 20 minutes in the oven yeah it was easy it doesn't take long easy uh you toss that glaze on there Let them sit for a little bit. I was picking at those things all day on top of the oven. I'm salivating. I was so happy about it. We have some orange cranberry biscuits that I actually am saving for a holiday. Those just sound too decadent and too good. Yeah. No, that's the move. Chocolate avalanche croissants, baby. All you have to do is sign up at wildgrain.com slash steam and choose which type of box you want to receive

and how often. It's even easy to reschedule, skip, or cancel. I was so happy the other day when we got our stuff from Italy in.

Maybe you have some chocolate croissants coming out of the oven and you're like, man, I could really use something to drink with this.

Is it the best part of waking up? Cannibal Corpse coffee in your cup? Mm-hmm. I mean, we've done cannibal corpse before i don't even know why we did the cannibal corpse real or fake it was spooky season three i believe we just decided to name some of the darkest things that we could find from them yeah i just i i knew you know honestly when i was sitting down putting a pen to paper. Shout out to intern Evan. I was like, you know what?

Would this get a reaction out of them? Just me reading these names. And I was like, you know what? It would. And we did it. And I think it was good. But yeah, they've come up in recent weeks as well. I don't know why, but they did. Well, one day ago, loudersound.com published an article that article that said have cannibal corpse just made the most

extreme coffee on the planet this article was written by someone named metal hammer are they is that any relation to former blogger for uh total frat move jack no you don't think i don't think so that's too bad wonder if Jack Hammer ever ate all that burnt pizza. Dude, okay. We gotta talk about that. Dan Rejester. Everyone knows who he is. No call, no show.

The Spookyman Berry Bash or Scary Bash, whatever it's called. I'm at least glad that Dan had receipts for his reason for missing the Scary Merryman Happy Bash. We crushed that. Yeah. I have never seen a pizza that black before it looked like he took a piece of a oven pizza and it looked like he brought it to exhibit on pit my ride it was like make this map black it looked like it said it was uh being cooked during pompeii did he how did he how did he get it out of the like it was volcanic ash i've never seen anything so dark in my entire life yeah he um he said he he was having a few too many delco teenies

or delteenies um and he said yeah it was a tough night woke up to the smoke detectors going off that's i can honestly say i've never done that now i have ordered food and passed out i've been that guy i think i've only done that once or twice once but i've never been if i if i'm coherent enough to get the oven going i'm usually good about staying awake what does it say about me that i think i don't i just don't get hungry anymore when I'm drunk. That's, that's a good sign of maturity. And I have no desire to, if I am hungry, I know the limitations of drunk me. And I know that it's impossible, impossible for me to order something and stay awake for it. There's a, there's no way that I'll ever stay awake for it. So I've just never done it.

Yeah. Yeah. I think, um, I think about, you know, half of weight gain in your twenties, like right after college is from eating late night. I truly, uh, I've not looked at the science, but if they told me that I would believe it. Something I will do with Fritz before he goes to college is I will teach him about nutrition in the summer leading up to when he leaves. I'm going to teach him about, you know, how you shouldn't eat, make your own stir fry for every single lunch every day with a big bowl of rice there

and a bunch of extra teriyaki sauce on that. You count with all the sugar? Yeah, I might've done that and I might've put on 30 pounds in one semester. Yeah, but at least you went on TV. It's true, it's true. Famously. Well, actually, no, I had since lost that weight

and then put it back on from just partying yeah just being super responsible you're in the middle of a cup run yeah yeah you can you can put out some pounds during a cup run it's fine playoffs i can do a cup run of this cannibal corpse coffee oh we're back to the we're back to the coffee uh brutal death meddlers cannibal corpse are the latest to hop on the trend this article says. Hold on, I just lost what I was going to read about this. When they said they wanted the most killer coffee on the planet,

they spared no expense and took no shortcuts to bring this maniacal beast to life. A year went into this project, cupping beans from around the world, tuning down to a diabolical roast level and custom artwork from artist Vince Locke himself. Whoa, not Vince Locke. Do you think when Cannibal Corpse started, when they were just young, little Cannibal Corpse children thinking that they wanted to start this metal band, do you think that they dreamt up having coffee that was organic Bali Blue Moon? That sounds delightful. It sounds delightful it sounds delightful but no they would hate the people that they've become uh lead singer of tool now has like a vineyard and he's like a serious wine guy so there is a precedent there for um i guess maynard yeah Maynard. Yeah. Maynard. Also, Jonathan Davis just launched a pet,

a freak on a leash dog company. And he's not even a dog guy. It's like, it's like edgy dog collars with like fake spikes. Is he allergic to dogs? Didn't I read that recently? I saw that headline. Yeah.

I didn't click it, but yeah, something he doesn't like, or it can't be around dogs. I believe. But yes, freak on a leash. one of their uh one of their hits from the early 2000s and i would love to support a company that benefits somebody who

doesn't like dogs i would love to buy rosie a collar from a dog company i got allergy tested last week and um i got there the talk with the doctor yesterday he was like breaking down the results and he's like, hey, and I want to just say you are not allergic to pet dander, so you can keep your pets. And I just wanted to be like, hey, brother. That was never on the table. Getting rid of never on the table.

The dog was never going anywhere, my guy. What if you found out that your allergies were all due to your dog? He did say your dog shouldn't. i read you shouldn't have your dog even in your bedroom at night because you know they go outside they get so you're telling me i shouldn't have my dog sleep between the pillows of right right might be a problem but you know how we are this says dogs are bay dogs are bay dude when i'm walking down the street and i see a dog uh-huh i have to bet it dude dude i have to the toughest thing for me is when i'm in uh the security line at the airport and there's like the little tsa bomb sniffing dog and it's like don't pet me and i'm like oh but

you're a dog and that's all i want to do, man. It's just like, Hey officer, can I pet your dog? And then they hold me at gunpoint. I saw an older lady at the airport recently. And she went and she started petting one of the dogs that clearly says like, don't pet me. Like I'm a bomb dog. Didn't say bomb dog, but you know what they are.

Right. And like, it was, everyone was just kind of looking around like, what do we do? Should we do something? Like the, the guy doesn't want to tell her not to pet it.

Cause this lady is really old. It will break her little heart. But everyone else is like, wait, I want to pet this dog too. But like, we know we can't. So like,

like what's, why is this fucking lady doing it? He didn't, he or she did not make an example of this lady. No, no. That's nice. He treated her nicely.

I will say one thing I've learned going through customs in Mexico, they have fun with their dogs, their drug dogs, whatever dogs. They don't mind if you could get down on all fours and take a pic with their dog. They're cool with it. Good to know. Way more liberal with their bomb dogs. I think Austin's airport has more bomb dogs than any other airport I've ever seen. Dude, it's that GSP. It're everywhere gsp that's always right there i think so great

they've stepped up security at the austin airport and i'd like to know why or maybe i don't want to know why yeah i just feel like it's much much more uh i say secure and i i don't know i just there's so many more people walking around with dogs than I've seen at other airports lately. You remember the shoe bomber? No. Richard Reed. It sounds familiar.

He straight up fumbled the shoe bomb. He was thwarted. His attack was thwarted. People don't talk about that enough, but it did happen. He tried to, he had a bomb in his shoe and he tried to light it i respect airport security i respect the processes that we have to go through and i respect all the rules that we have to follow but just because i have tsa pre-check oh the difference between the difference between tsa pre-check and not having tsa pre-check is taking off your shoes

at this point and i just don't think i don't think it makes much of a difference having people take off their shoes or not. I like to wear boots on planes because if I want to bring boots to a trip or something, I don't want to pack them as they take up a lot of real estate and suitcase. That being said, taking off your boot, a full on cowboy boot is a little bit of a pain in the ass, especially when you're standing there, you're trying to like, you don't want to fall. You don't look like an idiot i had a sweat i had like a chunky sweatshirt on one time and they told me to take it off because they had to take off all jackets and i looked at him i was like isn't this a sweatshirt he's like yeah but it's really thick and i was like well i feel like i feel like there's some rules here that i'm not privy

weren't you about to go through the thing? Yeah. Get that little radiation blast? Yeah. And I was like, you can tell it's a sweatshirt. Like, I just don't think it's that big a deal. Wow. Sally does this thing sometimes where, like, it doesn't always have TSA pre-check on there. Sometimes you have to add it yourself and everything. It's weird that she always makes sure that hers is on there. How do you add it yourself?

You have to call them. Give them your known travel number you can't just do like you did with your report card in high school where you just kind of write something on there no just kind of be nice you turn that d to a b there are people out there who are like yeah but the tsa pre-check line at this point is just as long as the regular line no it's not it's just not um former sponsor i still keep up with my clear um yeah i don't do free ads but if i did uh sometimes i would admit that i have clear still yeah i i i use it but not every airport has it and it sometimes i'm like you know i really didn't need this i use it all the time now really like i do you feel bad when you get to go to the front of the line?

Let me just, let me. No, I would feel bad if I didn't pay for it. Can I tell you a story about where Andy and I, when we went to the House of Torment? You may. We can get his take on this. So when we were parking, if you didn't see this video, Randy and I were doing a new video series.

It may be a one-off called Ghost Cucks. We're the cucks in this uh in this video anyway uh we're pulling up to a haunted house house of torment and cars are just lining the streets and i was in my head i'm like oh this is about to be a problem finally find a place to park walk not that far probably 200 yards and get in there and i'm so worried about like the line that i'm ordering tickets as we're walking up on my phone um e-tickets digital tickets elastic i paid i paid for the fast pass because i was like well randy and i are going to be here all night if we don't that's not what he paid for what'd you pay for he paid for the front of the line pass which was the faster fast pass so we would even skip the fast pass people and let me

tell you it's pretty pretty good investment did you feel like an asshole skipping a bunch of kids the second house we went to i mean there's like not that many people there's like 300 houses on the um and i use haunted in quotes because there's like you know 10 people in line and then we just walk up and we're right there and then they just wave us on and you're kind of like they're high school kids and me and randy were old especially me and we're just kind of look i'm looking down at one point i had a gopro on my hat but they told me to take off yeah they're like who are these assholes that not only wore an illegal GoPro in this place, but also skipped everyone in the line? It was allegedly us.

Content kings. We're the cucks of content. If you pay money to skip a line, you shouldn't feel guilty about skipping said line. I know. I started feeling a little class classist me and rain as me and rain sometimes with clear if you don't have tsa pre-check sometimes it doesn't help that much you'll roll through clear if you have tsa pre-check they'll bring you there and they'll do it sometimes they'll just bring you through clear and be like all right go to that other line over

there if you don't have it then you have to go wait just as long as you would have without going through clear doesn't always benefit you if you want to see that. Then you have to go wait just as long as you would have without going through clear. It doesn't always benefit you. If you want to see that video, it's only on Patreon. Spooky Season tier and the Optimized Backer tier. It was a good video. A lot of fun.

Anyway, shameless plug. We talked more about airport security and skipping lines than we did about Cannibal Corpse Coffee. So I think it's time we need to move on to a new segment. I thought you wanted to hear a little bit more about their 2021 song inhumane harvest but like i just it's

depressed it's it's depressing to me that these bands that used to probably like scoff at even drinking coffee because it wasn't hard enough for them like now they're just like starting vineyards is it an irony play no i don't think it is if it it an irony play? No, I don't think it is. If it was an irony play, that would be different. But these guys are just now just cashing in on what they should be cashing in on. They're selling out just as everyone does in life. What's the military guy's coffee company, Black Rifle? Yeah.

The gas station by my house sells a 300 milligrams of caffeine, like just absolute big dog can of black rifle, like espresso coffee. I don't have the balls to try it, but I just want to say 300 seems like a lot. 200 is good for me. 250 getting there.

300 that I'm tweaking. I need to balance that out. I need a perk or something. I just Googled like how much caffeine will make you overdose. And Google did not give me an answer. Instead, they think that I'm like trying to do it. I'm trying to actively not do it. That would be the worst way to try to go.

Dude, I think I overdosed on coffee one time. You just didn't. I think I was close. No. Yes. I swear to God. I don't have any explanation for what happened then i had so much that i had nearly had a panic attack and it messed up my uh my stomach for the next three days this is the sunday scary's origin story this is it was from central market i will at them as they made the

worst iced americano of all time and i think they put like 12 shots of espresso in it on accident. That would be a lot. I have a friend who is an attorney, and to do his daily duties, he is a triple shot guy. He is a red eye with three shots of espresso. That's disgusting. And I don't know how he does it he's got to wean himself off he won't shout out dj bean big wean fan loves wean loves wean um yeah i'm i

stop at one shot of espresso if i'm doing the red eye and red eye for me is only a cold weather thing not to like keep talking about airports but i did something the other day that i thought you might like because you know drinking a beer at an airport it's a dicey situation you leave yourself feeling a little bloated you worry about having to pee mid-flight you're talking to the guy i went to i went to the least busy cafe i could find at the airport in detroit i went up and instead of getting like a full coffee i just got a shot of espresso i kept the liquid down i took the idea of a tummy ache coming out of there and i just had this little tiny paper cup dude walks up while i was grabbing the cup off the thing when they called my name and he was

like what do you do with that just drink it well yeah yes sir i'm butt chugging it yeah what else are we doing coffee enema it's so tiny i'm like yeah it's a little weird it's a little weird but i don't wait and it was in a paper cup they put they just put it a little tiny paper cup do you remember we took another jackhammer story god we need to just have dan we should have dan yeah we should just have dan on today um we took we went to a coffee place i don't know what we were doing and dan ordered and he ordered like i think he just ordered an espresso but he didn't realize it was that he thought he was getting like coffee with espresso and when they brought it out and handed him the tiny little espresso glass he had

that he was so defeated i could see him being defeated on that just you know dan's a large guy he's got a manly beard, good shape, and he's just sipping his little espresso. I think I was with you for this. I think you were too. I think it was right before numerous people were let go from a former company of ours. That's probably right.

Dave, what is Do We Need This? Is this related to Do You Know It, a game show podcast? It's a lot like that. No, this is a segment segment and this is something that hit the tl somebody was uh tweeting about it that's on twitter and uh it's from ad week so this is they probably paid for this to have this talked about but it's from our good friends at tropicana you fan of tropicana you know juice I don't drink much orange juice these days, but when I do, I'd be lying if I said it wasn't Tropicana. I have no issues with them.

No, if I'm going name brand orange juice, Tropicana is probably one of the first ones I'm going to. We live in a city, though, that has very privileged orange juice at a lot of the grocery stores. Like, H-E-B has that fresh stuff that's just too fire yeah you even like so heb is not like the high-end grocery store right the central market is that it's their high it's the central market is the the whole foods version of heb but i feel like you can get nearly everything at central market or that you can at central market at heb you can get the fresh squeeze you can definitely Central Market at H-E-B. You can get the fresh squeeze at H-E-B. You can definitely get that fresh juice, which is good. But anyway, they are now offering

what is being described as a mimosa machine. It is the latest in a series of orange juice stunts, which I've always said we need more of those. Yeah. It's essentially a pump sprayer that screws onto a 12-ounce bottle of Tropicana. You could probably make this at home and save yourself the time this is so dumb the nozzle features three settings will whisper spritz shower is it is this okay this is both simultaneously smart and stupid at the same time like i kind of want to just

experience at one time they're gonna drop the scary's bag they should drop the scary's bag actually this this is something you can get behind should we have brett start doing live like we got a lot of mid-episode drops yeah we've got a lot of tasks for brett after uh 33 minutes of this podcast yeah it's like yo tropicana gotta go camera in front of dylan uh coffee orange juice uh the not yeah so the device allows users to regulate the dosage and frothiness of the juice dispensed into the bubbly so i haven't had a mimosa in a while i do like mimosas but sadly i don't i don't go to brunch as much as i used to yeah i just try not to drink like early these days right the um for lack of a better term the sunday fun day kind of goes away a little bit when you have kids that's fine fine

you're still having fun you're just not having it with alcohol that being said when it comes to the orange juice that you want in your mimosa do you have like a preference like i i could understand you don't want pulp some people see i don't mind i don't mind it either but i i've seen that done like nope can't have the pulp but is there like a thickness that you're looking for are you down with that thickness i just want as little as possible like i want it to essentially taste like a a flute of champagne had like a little just dot dropped in. It's not because I'm trying to get like absolutely lit.

But what I've found is that the combination of these two will often lead to heartburn, often lead to an upset tummy, something of that nature. And what I want is just kind of some, some champagne with a little bit of orange flavoring in it. Um, since we're doing a bougie pod today, did you see that, uh, our, our favorite restaurant, Austin Jeffrey's brought back the martini cart? How'd you find that out? They, one of those Austin food accounts, one of the 55,000 did like a whole write-up on it. The

martini cart is back. Didn't really understand why I had to be gone. Looking back, like there's a lot of things during the pandemic that probably we'd like back, right? No, there were some concessions made during the pandemic that, you know, they blamed on the pandemic, but like- Martini cart never really made sense. If a waiter's still coming to your table and handing you food,

a waiter can come to the table and make a martini. And let me be clear, I'm not even getting a martini all the time i just like to know that i could and i could have it done table side via cart yeah table side anything as everyone knows circling back is in it but if they're doing table side martinis for the longest time as it's the only way you can enjoy. Exactly. And then they don't do them. There's always going to be that vacancy there for me. Yeah, exactly.

Do they charge more for a martini cart martini at restaurants than a regular one? There's like a built-in cart maintenance fee. That makes sense. Yeah. You probably just don't notice it because it's an expensive ass restaurant in the first place. Upcharge. Are we going to go through the list of the best restaurants to make out in did i send that i sent you that didn't i you just tagged circling back yeah actually i kind of would like that we could do that after an ad read i actually tried uh

tagging dylan in that yesterday because eater austin eaters obviously is a very famous website. E-A-T-E-R. Not the one that Dylan goes to. They put out a list of the best restaurants in Austin to make out in. Yeah, I just... Or most in. For sure. You can be nude in Austin, right? Yeah, I was actually out by Hippie Hollow yesterday. Isn't it just kind of...

Isn't there certain parts you can be nude in or is it all of austin there are nude beaches because like i used to see topless women walking around barton springs all the time i'm gonna work and i was like this feels aggressive the first time i saw just a pair of out in the wild breasts dude dave in austin just driving chill with the language. All right. Or as Randy would say, hammers. Okay, dude. Yeah. Show some respect. Okay.

If we're going to be like Randy, we'll say swangers. Bloodhead. Chill out, dude. No, I remember just, it was actually driving from our first studio, which was in a house near Zilker Park and all that stuff. Yeah, it's jarring. Just walking by a crosswalk, there's somebody top off. And I'm like, huh.

Forgot about that why not when's the last time you made out at a restaurant probably when i was sally was simply my girlfriend and not not someone that i was married to or engaged to sure yeah you're still putting forth effort yeah it's been a minute it's been a minute since i've made out in any restaurants sure nothing wrong with that though now i just want a martini let's go get steaks and martinis for lunch um how what would dylan do if he came in after his surgery and you and i were just sloshed sloshed on martinis and smelling like a steakhouse probably the same thing that alissa does when she has like a girl's night or a girl's weekend and I

go out and buy like a big old steak and like a bottle of wine. She's like, oh, thanks for doing this when I'm not here. Sally used to go to Tulsa for two weeks at a time for school. And when she would go to Tulsa, she'd stay with her friend. They would always have a good time. They'd always, you know, make good dinners and stuff like that. But she'd FaceTime me around bedtime every night. And she'd be like, what'd you have for dinner? I'd be like, oh, it's not, I had like halibut with some roasted vegetables, blah, blah, blah. Other nights I'd be like, oh yeah, no, I reversed seared a filet for myself. And she'd be like,

you literally never do this when I'm home ever. And I'm like, well, yeah, it's, it's just, it's different when you're here. It's the added pressure of cooking for two.

Yeah. Cooking for two is not always the best. If you mess something up when you're just cooking for yourself, nothing matters. But she would always kind of treat me like I was doing something like to intentionally spite her. And that's just not the case. Right. That's not what I was trying to do.

You only have so much free time. And also it's expensive to buy two pieces of halibut. Absolutely. That is a lot. That's not what I was trying to do. You only have so much free time. And also, it's expensive to buy two pieces of halibut. Absolutely. That is a lot. That is a big part of it. Like, when I'm not cooking for two, I like to still pay for, I like to still act like when I'm at the grocery store, I've already allotted, I've mentally spent that money already at the grocery store.

So if I need to buy something nicer to get to that amount for my supermarket sweep, I'm going to spend that money on something a little nicer for myself. Completely understand. To put a bow on it, we don't need the Tropicana Mimosa spritzer. I don't know. We don't need a... I don't need froth level on my orange juice. I once went to a bar. It was a hotel bar at a very nice hotel that we could not afford to stay at but somebody said if you're near the hotel go pop in we went and popped in and we ordered some drinks at the bar sat down and the guy brought over a bunch of stuff for

martini and he was like spritzing things in the air i was like what what's going on he just had wasteful he just had these like essential oils that he was putting in the martinis what and now that i think about it i kind of want to be at a place and have the guy with a spray bottle of orange juice and just be doing like vibes it's kind of like when you think you have a ghost in your home and you burn sage yeah it's like that only with spritzing i think it's just for vibes i I'm kind of okay with it. Speaking of mimosas, are you a, are you a believer that different alcohols, um, affect your mood and your, your behavior differently? I am because I can, like I said, don't brunch that often anymore, really ever. But back in the day, like at 28, 25 25 my prime going out time being like two or three mimosas deep and then like doing like a big sundae was like as good as it got oh the head buzz that

you'd get the head to walk out of there feeling invincible champagne kills me later on i'm feeling it that night and the next day but compared to like just drinking like a beer like if i were to drink three beers as opposed to three whatever mimosas it's completely different i don't actively try to drink any sparkling wine or prosecco or champagne at this point. I had an experience where something might have happened with my stomach. And the only thing I could trace it back to was some champagne that I had drank. And so since then, I've been avoiding it. I don't want to poop myself. Did you poop yourself? I didn't poop myself, but I was on poop yourself watch,

which is not a good place to find yourself. No, but at least you had the awareness to put yourself on a watch. So you're like, conditions are favorable for me crapping my pants. We are going to talk about this show in a little bit, but I actually identified pretty well with a scene in White Lotus the other night

when Christopher Moltisanti's dad farted and then said that it was because of the Prosecco. I thought to myself, yeah. Bubbles. It makes sense that you'd be gassy. Yeah. I was like, that's exactly what happened. That's probably a thing. I might have been in a similar situation on vacation in Italy when this struck. So I very much

identified with this. Worst place to do it on vacation, man. In European toilets, not it no dude we even talked about brett's toilet at his apartment you guys use that thing i did i did of course i did like yeah i was there for more than 30 minutes yeah but the issue the issue with you is that you're not a sit-down pier like no like your boy no it might be one of the lowest toilets i've ever experienced oh he's got a low toilet dude it's like the lowest toilet ever so knees are above yeah oh yeah you're below yeah yeah your knees are not at 90 degrees that's

interesting because you're oh 5 11 ish where's brett that's taller than you some people say i'm 6 2 what's brett 6 1 6 2 he's taller than dylan uh i don't know whatever that floppy haired he's isn't right like 5 10 he's not 5 10 that's he might be 5 10 i think dylan's 5 10 too i think i'm the tallest person in the company well let me say this the low toilet throws me off and as someone who just replaced a toilet seat in his uh bathroom i did that kind of some manly shit um it was sliding yeah you just needed oh sally just did this for us yeah it's very easy it's not it turns out you don't need to watch like a youtube video to replace a toilet seat yeah you just kind of screw something on it's

like the training wheels of home improvement i knew it was easy because sally not only got the package in the mail that day but installed it that day and i thought huh like usually this kind of thing sits around for a couple days in our place like the cardboard box doesn't get recycled for a while bang bang bang all done very impressive yeah that's not something you can wait around on but yeah no i didn't notice that but again i did not sit low toilet that's a low toilet guy okay sorry i didn't want to i didn't know we were going to expose him like this today. No, I mean, I'm sure with that... He would rather expose him for that than something else in that same genre. Yeah, that's true.

That's true. Hey, so at Brett's party the other night, I was chilling there. And I was talking to my wife. Sure. And she was holding a glass of red wine. And as I was telling a story to somebody, my hand went over and I hit her glass of red wine. And I didn't spill it everywhere. But a bunch spilled down.

It spilled on me. It spilled on the carpet. And I didn't realize this until Monday after the party. But I looked down and I had spilled red wine all over my shoes. Oh, my God. And I got bad news. I was not wearing our friends over at Rothy's that night. Which I'm partially glad I didn't because I didn't want to have to wash them the next day. But I was devastated to realize that I can't just wash the shoes that I spilled that red wine on.

And it bummed me out because Rothy's are goaded when it comes to this. Weren't you wearing a, oh, I don't know. We'll kick that around later. Yeah, I wear these at the gym every day, every time I go. They're my – now, I used to be just for certain days, like leg day or if I'm going to be doing some kind of modified deadlift, but I don't really do much of that anymore. But they're so comfortable. I'm wearing them.

We've talked a lot in the past about eating meat, maybe even smoking meat. Sure. There are some people out there that are only meat smokers. maybe even smoking meat. Sure. There are some people out there that are only meat smokers. They only smoke meat. It's for meat smokers only. They have an Instagram account. There's other people out there that maybe don't even like cooking their meat at all. It's more bioavailable in their minds.

Our friend, Mr. Raw Meat Experiment, who we've talked about numerous times on this podcast, he took a little hiatus from posting for a while. But as I made a note of, I think it was even just last week, I said, no, he's commented on his most recent post saying he's still here. He's just not into it right now.

And I got bad news. He's been suspended. He got run? I don't like that. He got suspended. And so now he has a new one called Raw Meat Experiment 2 that's got 3,300 followers. He was suspended at 150K.

Do we know why? Now, I know there is precedent for Instagram to, oh, I don't know, randomly suspend an account and not really tell them why. And then three days later be like oh that was actually just our bad and give you nothing else he says he was deleted 150k by big grill he said you're in her dms did he say big grill he said big grill hell yeah he said you're in her dms i'm getting kicked off instagram for eating raw meat at whole foods we are not the same. Ooh. Um, Whole Foods owned by Amazon. Correct. Amazon, Jeff Bezos.

Jeff Bezos controls the world. Yeah. Do you think he got tired of this dude just parking his little ass right outside of Whole Foods and eating raw meat every day? If I'm Whole Foods, I'm very conflicted when it comes to this guy because I'm like, well, one, I'm glad that he's doing it at Whole Foods because we're getting free publicity from this guy. Sure.

But two, he's also eating like random raw foods outside every single day until he gets sick or dies. Which to our knowledge has not happened. He has not claimed to have gotten sick yet.

And he has not claimed to have died. Part of me is happy that his account got suspended because i think that's what we needed in order to get him back in the game he went a few months without posting anything and he he was seemingly very upfront and honest about not eating raw meat on instagram for a little bit he just kind of said like i don't know just kind of not feeling it right now i respect that hey do you think part of this is like a ploy, like just to get some buzz?

No, because I think giving up 150,000 followers for that, it would be a miss. It would be a bad ploy. Sunday Scaries has gotten suspended twice at this point. Neither time with any reason. Last three months. Both times it got brought back without any reason at all. Both times it was suspended. No post was taken down.

There was no post that was pointed out as the reason. I truly have no idea. And him getting his or having his account taken away in the way that it was has now added more layers and more question marks to this. I have gone on Instagram and asked for any contacts that people might have at Instagram. I have been put in touch with people and I've talked to people at Instagram who have tried to help me with certain things to give me some answers. I have to say, Instagram might have the most unapproachable support team I've ever seen in my entire life. Not only are they impossible to get ahold of, like you, you just straight up can't get ahold of them. But even if you have somebody at that works at the company, they don't even know where to go. They don't know what to do.

I've never seen anything like it. Um, man. Yeah. I guess I've never had to, Oh, actually that's not true. Back at the, uh, the previous company. I mean, some of the accounts might have gotten paused or in a little bit of trouble for something and i can remember we were like having to reach out to people who didn't weren't even affiliated with it that just had better contacts there because the people we thought we knew at instagram just weren't helpful it's crazy like this guy didn't do anything illegal he didn't do anything that would justify getting your account kicked off all his uh content was original it makes no sense that you just get crazy like this guy didn't do anything illegal he didn't do anything that would justify getting

your account kicked off all his uh content was original it makes no sense that you just get suspended is there is is the thought and the only thing i could think of is that they were like this is dangerous to public health he's promoting something that and claiming it has one effect on the body which it doesn't i don don't know. Maybe they're saying, you know, he's promoting a dangerous thing, eating raw meat, which I mean, I think most people would say, oh, you should definitely cook your meat. Otherwise you could get sick. Or is this just big food? I mean, okay. So his account got suspended, right? If you search raw meat experiment, which I just tried to do, nothing comes up besides raw meat experiment to his thing shadow ban no not a shadow just a

full ban full ban but kanye who's been putting out stuff has gotten post marked with uh you know the thing that says um sensitive content this photo may contain graphic or violent content like he's out here putting out his stuff and claiming to get suspended from these things you can still go to his profile you can still look at everything he's posted you can still access his stuff it makes no sense to me that instagram operates and like will just completely delete an account from their site but then they quote unquote suspend kanye and his shit's still out there. Yeah. I guess it shows what their priorities are.

I don't think they even have like any rhyme or reason for anything at this point. None of it makes sense to me as somebody who's been affected by this. Yeah. I mean, that first time it happened, we were all like, weren't you out of town? Were you out of town for both of them?

No, I was though. The, unfortunately the first time that Scaries got suspended, I was about two martinis and a bottle of wine deep at Brett's anniversary dinner at Carve. Right. And I was buzzed enough that I didn't realize what was going on,

so I didn't take any screenshots, nor did I know what was going on. But then when this happened two months later, the exact same process happened. Now I'm at the point where I'm like, okay, if it gets suspended again, I'm not going to worry about it because I'll probably have it back in two days. Yeah. It's still not helpful for us. I still have five contacts in my DMs that have offered to help and done stuff, but even

no one else has even been able to offer me an answer as to why it was suspended in the first place. Interesting. Well, whoever runs that meat smokers only account should be on watch. Yeah, they got to be careful. Got to be real careful. I want raw meat to come back. If him getting his account taken away

means that he's back and trying to build that following again, I'm not going to be too upset about it, but I will ride for him saying that he should just get his old account back. I can't explain why I enjoy eating this man. Oh, that sounded weird. You're taking it one step further.

Why I enjoy watching this man eat raw meat. But there's something about him. He just looks really likable and approachable. He is likable, dude. Granted, I rarely finish the video because I don't really care to see him finish whatever, the porterhouse or whatever it is. But man, I need him back.

I like that content option out there. I like him because he's, he's not, he's not like a negative person. Everything he does on there is positive. He's just trying to slunkers. He's trying to inspire people to, to drink more slunkers,

which I, yesterday, my diet consisted of mainly slunks, cooked slunks, but slunks on the less. See, I need to up my slonks. You told me yesterday you're not an egg guy.

No. When did that change? When they started giving me tummy issues when I was younger. I've never been a huge egg person. I don't avoid them in the sense that I refuse to eat them. But if I have the option to get something without egg in it, I'll probably go for that option most of the time i do like a good poached egg though dude sure poached very good i can't poach an egg i can't do that with uh i can't do it in the in

the boiling water with the vinegar and stuff that's too much work for me it's just scary i'm normally doing uh is quick scramble just for convenience a fry. I do a fried egg out of laziness. Yeah. And even then, you got to whip it up with the fork or whatever. If I'm at a hotel that knows how to do a good egg, I'll eat some eggs there. Deviled eggs. Underrated app. It's a difficult thing for me to say, Dave.

I don't think I had one until like 10 years ago. I have a group text that we talk about deviled eggs. So I think we are... Of course you do. We're overrating them. It's just three of us. Is that all that you're talking about is deviled eggs? Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. Anytime we're at a party where deviled eggs are being served, we take a photo and we drop the deviled eggs in there. Okay. But we're dev a party where deviled eggs are being served, we take a photo and we drop the deviled eggs in there. Okay. But we're deviled egg stands. So I think I'm too partial to deviled eggs to be able to weigh in on something like that. I love them.

I'd love to mock you for that, but we also have a group chat with a couple guys that's just weather and meat smoking. Yeah. Well, I have pizza. You do have a pizza one. Pizza porn, which is just my friend group from high school, and it's keeping us alive. Yeah. Sometimes I'll even send photos of my pizza to you so you can pass it along to the group text that I'm not even in.

I will never misrepresent someone else's pizza for my own pizza. No, I just want them to know that I'm eating pizza. I'm playing that card, baby. The one pizza that has made waves in that group chat lately was actually from a favorite pizza in Austin, Texas. I sent one of those and people were like, this might be the perfect pie. It's a good spot.

It's a good spot. If you are visiting Austin and looking for a quick, not a sit down place, although there is a little bit of seating, not much, it's more like a bar, tiny, tiny little spot.

If you're on West six and you're looking for a slice, that's a good spot. Dave, do we have any White Lotus Season 2 takes? I took too long to watch this, and I apologize. I wish I would have watched it on Sunday night when it dropped so that we could talk about it Monday. But I did watch it last night. We didn't have internet last night for about two hours, and all we wanted to do was watch White Lotus Season 2, and we did

the thing where you go on the app and you have to go through a whole text conversation with the support person while they check your stuff. And finally we got there, and finally I got to watch something that I should have, like I said, should have watched on Sunday night. White Lotus last season was one of my top three shows of

the year. Yeah, I have nothing negative to say about season one. Really good. It was everything I wanted out of something. Yeah, just strong performances, great cast. Connie Britton, Sydney Sweeney, other guy. Those are the first two you named, not Armand. That's right.

Shout out Shane. Shane. the first team name not armand that's right shout out shane shane i i love the concept of the white lotus so much that it would take a lot for me to not still be like watch it they can have a total they could lay a total egg this season they could go straight up true detective season two on us right now i saw some people trying to make that comparison because there is a little bit of negative um out there after one one episode my only thought when i was watching it so it's it's in sicily or as last year it was hawaii it's the same resort white lotus five star resort and like there's a lot of italian early on and so you're reading subtitles some people they just cannot it wasn't that much i it felt like a lot i was actually probably too early birds deep when i was watching it so

maybe i was overthinking it you told me before there was a lot of of subtitles and then when i when i finished the episode i thought okay there wasn't nearly as much as i thought there was okay well good um other than that i have i have no issues with the show. Now, it did take a little bit of time to get into the plot and who the characters were. I think we're at a point with television where the shows that release weekly are at a disadvantage to the shows that you can just start binging. Because if there's anyone out there talking negatively about White Lotus after one episode, shut up. you got to let this transpire you got to give it at least two episodes before you bail out of all the dynamics that have unfolded thus far on this uh premiere episode from season two out of all the dynamics and groups that are at the hotel which one are you most interested in right um we've got the the the grandpa son grandson dynamic where they're going to go see his where his grandmother was born in italy we've got the couple's trip that is two couples which is

i'll get into that in a second and then we have uh the character arc from last year yeah um there will be spoilers in this so we there is it starts off with a with a floating body in the sea yes and like you know so obviously it's built around like okay who is it and then they allude to more bodies they did the same thing they did last year where they said one week prior essentially they show something we go one week prior um you know i don't think i needed any characters coming back for season two and there's just two to my knowledge uh tanya and greg right i don't know i'm not gonna i'm not gonna operate under any names right now as i know nobody's name but he is much more of a dick in season two like Like, he just kind of seems like an ass. I'm very interested.

I'm very interested in the potential for a love connection between her assistant and Michael Imperioli's son. Correct. I'm very happy about that and how that's going to unfold. I very much like Valentina. I've since pulled up their names. Valentina is the manager at the hotel. She is seemingly scorched earth. And I think she's going to turn out to be a hilarious character as the season goes on. Yeah. I think going in, you see like, oh, this is the manager of the resort and you're assuming it's going to be an Armand style character. So you're

looking for that level of, and it's, and you don't get it because i think it's a slow build for this character and she's speaking predominantly in italian um in this episode she speaks english to the guests but you know you're trying to figure out like wait is she gonna be she's gonna be something she's she's very blunt she's a good character yeah but it takes a little bit. We have Haley Lou Richardson as Portia, the personal assistant that you just referenced. She looks exactly like Zoe Deutsch. I can't get over how much she looks like Zoe Deutsch in this show. And I don't know if Zoe...

Is Zoe Deutsch even that popular that other people think of this? Or am I just thinking this because I follow Jimmy Tatro on Instagram? You know, I'll be honest. I had to look up zoe deutsch to see what she looked like but she does look a lot like um this character yes correct i think out of all the dynamics that have that have been put out there for us i'm most excited to see how the couples thing transpires and i think it's because i think that's the period of our lives that we're closest to at this point. We did see that dude's hammer.

Okay. I'll ask what everyone's asking. Was that a fake penis? Yeah. That thing was huge. Yeah. Huge. Yeah.

Big hang down. Like. When I saw before the show that there was, you know, sex, nudity, all that. You know, kind of thinking, okay. Kind of imagining, and as they're introducing the characters, I'm maybe thinking, oh, what if it's this person? Maybe I'd like it to be this person. I mean, didn't expect it to be that. A lot of man meat.

A lot of man meat. I wonder how many people have actually watched the show, because I feel like it came back with less fanfare than I expected it'll pick up it'll pick up i think it's tough when it's not the same cast yeah and usually i'm not a fan of this but i think season one was done so well that in season two started off in my opinion like it feels like the same show just with a different cast like i know that sounds like a very like matter of fact statement but it doesn't feel that much different whereas like true

detective when they come back with a totally new cast totally new plot line totally new whatever it's just different like this is essentially the same setting it's just different people yeah um and i think you mentioned this a minute ago the The couples trip idea, especially when the SIG UDS have really no relationship whatsoever, that's not a good idea. I think any couples trip, I don't think you should do one other couple. I think if you go on a couples trip like this, you have to have two other couples there. Three's a good number. Sally and I tried to make trip friends in Italy at the hotel that we were staying at.

It was very White Lotus of us trying to do it. we completely failed twice you fumble it two different couples fumbled the friendship two different couples were like nah fuck these people yeah it didn't feel good we made couple friends um when we were in mexico and the guy ended up he like works for pirelli tires and he's like goes to all the F1 things and I got his number and I've I always I'm like oh should I text him like you know when there's F1 Austin and I just I just haven't texted him we we saw Troy we saw a couple sitting at a restaurant uh we had already seen them at our hotel numerous times we hadn't talked to him yet but they were sitting next to us at the restaurant and they were so close to us and we had we'd exchanged

glances so many times over the last couple days that we knew that we had to eventually say something and we finally did and then it it came to light that we did not have a ride home from the restaurant and they were like oh well we have a car that's going to come pick us up we can just split that and instead of paying them for that we just said like let's go get a drink at the hotel bar we'll get you guys a drink for taking us home uh we had seemingly had fun. Thought we had fun, at least. We exchanged phone numbers. No. And then when we texted them to get a drink the next day, they did not respond.

Just nothing. Just nothing. They straight ghosted us. Even like the next day, they weren't like, hey, sorry. We were down pretty bad. No. Never heard from them again. Luckily for us.

Luckily. No, we saw them before we sent the text message, like that day. Okay. I made a joke as I was leaving the pool. Tried to. You were wearing a white bathing suit. Tried to be the funny. No, I was not wearing a white bathing suit.

Okay. No. I can't wear white bathing suits. Slick back hair. Seems aggressive. It is. Yeah. I don't have trip friend in me, I guess.

It doesn't, I don't mean this as an insult, but it doesn't take a lot to make a trip friend. Like as long as you are normal, you know what I mean? Like some similar, although the, all I could think of is that we were about, I think I was like eight years older than them and Sally was six years older.

All I could think of was like, maybe they just think we're the old annoying people, but like, dude, you're on vacation at a hotel with no one to hang out with. Like, wouldn't you rather have people six years older than you to go out for drinks with?

Then like, just go talk to your significant other for the millionth time. Were they married or just dating? Everyone was on their honeymoon. Both, both couples we were trying to hang out with were both on their honeymoon. That's probably why they're still in the honey. They're literally in the honeymoon phase. So they're literally, they're wanting to just hang out with were both on their honeymoons. That's probably why. They're still in the honey... They're literally in the honeymoon phase, so they're probably...

They're wanting to just hang out with each other. Not that you and Sally don't want to hang out with each other, but... No, no, man. You get, you know... You kind of start wanting to branch out. Not like in a weird way. I think Sally wanted to hang out with other people more than I did. You're like, babe, let's just go home and watch a movie.

She's like, no, let's go to downtown Cabo. Let's go do something aggressive. Yeah, I think she was tired of me more than anything. Yeah, trip friend is a risky thing. I do like that concept though. I've always been interested by it. It's worked out for me before. Didn't you also, weren't you wearing a bathing suit

that had an upside down pineapple on it? Do you think maybe you put off the wrong vibe? Yeah. I'm trying to think of like the outfit that I wore one of the nights. Like, did I wear the shirt that shows my nipples either of the nights that I talked to these people? Linen often shows nips. Linen's going to show nip. I did worry that I insulted them one, one time. Uh, there was a large group of people underneath our hotel room one night and they were talking until like three in the morning about really douchey stuff. And I was like, yeah,

we were up till like three last night because these people wouldn't shut up. But Lois talking about like how they take trips to the Alps and stuff. And it got kind of quiet after that. And I was like, yeah, these people might have sat in on that conversation. Oh. I don't think they did, though.

Because I was looking at them. I bricked my trip friendship. You really did. Fuck. Dude, I'm sorry to hear that, man. I'm a little surprised this is the first that's coming to light. I was worried about talking about it too close to the trip because they knew what I did for a living.

And so I didn't want them to listen to the episode right right after and then be like wow so he just threw us under the bus that quick i think about that a lot when somebody friend distant relative somebody on this side of family like finds out what we do here and they're like oh i'm gonna give it a listen and then i always monday morning as soon as you intro me, it hits me. I always start thinking like, oh no. Don't make a cum joke in the first few minutes. They'll probably drop off after like two minutes anyway. So if you can make it through that,

just don't make any cum jokes. No, that is something that goes through my head. And then after the episode, it continues. I'm like, all right, well, if they went start to finish, what are they thinking about that episode? And it turns out it's one where we just we made one of the members of the show do like a bad christopher walken impression just because it was is this why is this why dylan's dad thinks that we like aren't an actual business um well he does now now he saw the office true yeah he was very dude he was very stoked on us at the company party.

You got to get stoked for the boys. He's very surprised. He said he was very complimentary. He did mention, I don't know if I've told this on the pod, he asked if we purposely say things that high school kids in California say, because I think Dylan, some of it might bleed over into his family life because Dylan say what you want about Will and I,

no one will wear out a word or a saying quicker than Dylan. Dylan's the reason for that. Go to go to, it had a 24 hour run and it was maybe even less than that because he, he absolutely put that stamp into every episode we did that week oh we could bring up so i could be at a bar ordering uh a miller coors product molson course product and he'll be like yeah but is it goated it'd be like dude it's not even relevant to the conversation we're not on the mic yeah like you

don't have to keep saying goated yeah like this has nothing to do with if something's good or not i'm just ordering something from a restaurant people often ask they're like oh you know if you do like an ama with one of the wives or something like oh is it tough because he's always doing like circling bat bit back bits at home and like if you're wondering if we do i mean they they we it definitely bleeds over significantly i try not to have it bleed over but when i was in michigan talking to one of my buddies he was telling me he was explaining something to me about his job and in the middle of the conversation you know how sometimes when you're talking to somebody you'll say like oh yeah oh for sure yeah yeah at one point i just went oh that's facts oh yeah and i was like why did i

just say that's facts like he he doesn't do this in his normal life like he works for a tech company like he's not sitting around saying that's facts with his boys just embarrassing yeah i'm 38 yeah too old to be saying facts am i 38 or 30 i'm 38 dylan's 39 yeah right right just wanted to be clear oh it's time for this weekend of fun presented by our friends over at draft kings hockey fans it's finally time to hit the ice again and thanks to draft king sportsbook an official sports betting partner in the NHL, you're in for the season of a lifetime.

Dave, what are you getting into this weekend? I'm so glad you asked there is a new ish a new location of a barbecue spot in south austin that just opened up it's going to be paired with a micro brewery at some point randy i think that's not happening for a while but um randy and i have had our eyes on it dude i i swear to god randy barbecue randy has given us such tabs on this place that i thought that randy might have had some type of skin in the game randy has equity he discloses to him like he's doing video work for them behind a dinner yeah that would be he's probably he's doing video stuff on the side which i would have no issue with but this place is fun because uh

the first time i ordered it when i went to pick it up i didn't realize this at the time uh it was their first location was in a bowling alley okay so i had to actually get out of my vehicle and go inside the bowling alley and hang out there for a minute which was lit it was league night tuesday night um but now they've got a new spot. So I'm going to try that Friday. Hopefully that's the plan. I'm going to be the, I'm going to go to this spot at some point.

And I'm just going to say that I like the bowling alley more. I like the idea of getting barbecue in a bowling alley. It plays well. And it does sound crazy, but like they don't, they obviously don't have the smokers on the outside. That would be difficult to have a smoker inside of the bowling alley just get a hood fan is you'd have to have quite the quite the hood fan i'm not even sure if those really do anything for being clear anyway

the one in our place does not no the one if my landlord's listening i'm not complaining and we don't need it replaced the one in every apartment i've lived in is it's just it's just like a noisemaker dude our pandemic apartment that we lived in like that thing was great it sucked everything out of there just siphoned out the smoke yeah it knew it knew who was living there and it just took after you couldn't let down the siphon that's the sound of it saturday i'm playing golf weather permitting i think we're going to be fine overnight storms that's fine should soften up the course make it a little bit more gettable yeah dude it's a gettable course for sure it's definitely gettable um playing golf some friends friends of the show you know them

very aware and uh i'm looking forward to it because we were supposed to play last friday and we got straight up rained out we did and we And we got pitch decked out. Yeah. But that's okay. That's a good problem to have. Yeah. Sometimes Friday golf has to get canceled because of work. Yeah. I thought I would be playing when we started Washington media and like, all right, we're going to do our own media company and it's going to be around podcasts. I thought I'd be playing way more golf than I am. Yeah. That being said, I did have a child and I've got a dog at home, so it does make it a little bit more difficult, but I'm excited.

I haven't played since my trip. My handicap's up to like 10 and a half now. I'm not playing good golf, but I'm hoping the break that I've had in the last couple of weeks will do me some good. I'm not going to touch a club until Saturday. I'm on a golf sabbatical right now. I haven't played since I was at the White Lotus Resort in Italy. Okay.

Italian golf, not that great, apparently. Yeah, I looked at the websites of some of the places that we thought about trying to play over there when we had some free time, and I'll be honest, I was not into it. You should do a video series where you and a few of your friends go play golf. Call it Tour Sauce. I think we should do like a you should do like a video series where you just like you and a few of your friends go play golf like call it like tour sauce i think we should do that we could do like

scandinavia it's really good shout out dj shout out if i can figure out how to download this out of my ipad that's gonna be my programming on the plane tomorrow there's definitely a way and i'm surprised how do you not know that i'm not you should know that and i should i am not paying for youtube premium if that's the only way i can do this i'm not i'm just simply not doing it i think that's the only way to really consume uh long form video content on youtube is by paying for premium i'm not gonna do it i got a big weekend lined up i'm going to the west coast go to the left coast going to los angeles california wow i got a wedding on saturday leaving tomorrow staying at a hotel i was staying at two hotels

that i've never even heard of nor have i done any research on them i don't think there are any white lotuses though okay very excited uh we're doing two italian dinners in a row. Okay. I like that because one, you know, dinner one allows you to play your Zoc card if you choose. Dinner two, you can really get out there and taste maybe the handmade pasta or whatever. See, here's my issue though. Here's my issue. Dinner one is like the nicer restaurant and dinner two is not. So I'm worried.

Like, do I need to go all in the night before? Do I need to get like crazy? Do I need to get the in the night before? Do I need to get crazy? Do I need to get the Asabuco? How do you say it? Sure. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty bold.

We'll see. I didn't know LA was known for their Italian food. Don't really have anything to do in LA besides go to this wedding. So I'm not mad about it. What do you do to kill time in LA? I think people just burn. You go down to the beach? I guess.

What's the close beach to LA? Huntington Beach? I don't know. We're going do to kill time in LA? I think people just burn. You go down to the beach? I guess. What's the close beach to LA? Huntington Beach? I don't know. We're going to be in like Burbank, Hollywood area. So I don't even know if the beach is in play. You can maybe go check out Jay Leno's motorcycle collection or whatever. Oh, yeah. You guys hear about this?

That's Bill Simmons. It's not Jay. I can't do it. He's probably got one too. Jay's got all the classic cars. He does have those. He's probably going to, no, Jay's got all the classic cars. He does have those. He's got his own show. Triples.

He got, I think he got a little wrong when they brought him back to replace Conan again. I don't think that was a Jay initiative. I think that was an NBC initiative. Uh, yeah. Conan did get wronged. Conan got wronged.

Conan got wrong. Jay. I just don't think it was totally jay's fault he couldn't get out of the game he tried it he braided it had to get back in the game needed him it needed a guy who made um somewhat good jokes and all denim if anyone has any stores nothing wrong with all denim no if anyone has any stores in the wrong with all denim. No. If anyone has any stores in the Hollywood Burbank area that I should go hit or something, I don't want any restaurant recommendations because I just don't care at this point. There is a hot topic in the Burbank mall. Perfect.

Perfect. I'll do that. Hit that. I'll do that. Yeah. I don't really know, but that's not a bad thing. Having too little to do during a wedding weekend in a different city is not a bad problem to have. No, that's great. And like I said, I don't know anything about LA, but you can say you've done it.

I like LA. I'm just not very good at LA. The last time I was there, the only time I was there, we flew into there for your wedding and then drove down to... Where was your wedding? Newport? Laguna Beach, dude. Laguna Beach, sorry.

The rest is still unwritten. Yeah. Rewatch coming soon. Maybe. Maybe. All right, Dave, it's been fun. Dylan will be back for voicemails airing tomorrow. Patreon.com slash circling back podcast.

But until then, we'll see you then. I don't know what that means bye you
