My name's Will DeFries to my left. David Roth. Headline, Daily Star. A swing and a miss. See where I'm going with this? You follow me?

Swing. Couples reveal how they got into swinging. Like waifu cheated until hubby agreed. That's one way to do it. That's one way to do it. It says here, like a horny waifu had an addiction to cheating on her husband. We hear how swingers got into the lifestyle. She just couldn't stop.

She was addicted to it. Addicted to the game like Jordan and Peyton. I told my girl I'm addicted to swinging. But I was talking about playing golf. I got really into it over the pandemic. I was addicted to swing music for a time in the 90s. Really? When you were swinging?

It was me. You could find me at the the cherry pop and Daddy weren't they calling you the big bad voodoo daddy himself did you recently have that swing installed in your bedroom it's true are you talking about a sex swing oh I don't know I just told you just told me no no no no I we had that I had a heavy bag installed so I could uh we had to find the beam and it was a whole deal damn so bacon hang from it try to bag some heavies what huh well dylan chivery why would you hang from it i don't know why would bae be in my bedroom you got your own bae oh okay oh yeah he'd have a story yeah probably do numbers hey man happy to be here. Looks like you guys had a good trip.

I know we're going to talk about it, but it looks like you had fun. I'm a little envious, but I'm happy for you guys. The Kentucky Derby looked quite lit. Good for you, man. At one point, I was like, Dylan might be envious. And I was like, he got four straight days of the Masters. He'll be fine. You know, I always have that in my back pocket. Dude, they went every day, Dave.

People forget that they went every day. I didn't realize that anytime you feel like you're a practice round and maybe like a thursday no they got thursday to sunday it was every day yeah yeah so yeah i mean i'm i'm okay with the situation but it did look like fun i'm happy for you guys that's all i'm trying to say here i think i think our ducks are in a row i think the 150th kentucky derby might be in the WASH Media universe. Really? Just putting it out there. Just putting it out there. And they're off. That's how they do it.

The most exciting two minutes in sports, David. Yeah. Maybe like the most exciting one minute now that we've got that swing installed. All right. I'm sorry. This is a good show normally. It's okay. Some people enjoy it, and that's good enough for me. That's what I tell people. I'm like, look a good show normally it's okay some people enjoy it and that's good enough that's

what i tell people i'm like look some people like it and when i tell a new person about the show i'm like there's a chance you're gonna like it but there's a chance you're not and that's okay too that's cool that you're on that a hashtag tell a friend about the show you need that sometimes i'm forced into it we need to have people to tell other people about the show so we can continue doing it yeah anyway yeah to all of you who do listen and enjoy thank you for your business we appreciate you very much how you feeling big dog a little banged up shirt your boy your boy uh your boy was a little uncomfortable i had a situation yesterday on the airplane on the way home. I did take the early flight. Just putting that out there. How early?

We were taking off around 7.50 a.m. Okay. I like that. Yeah. And I had a situation yesterday, and I didn't know how to confront it because I think there are social norms when it comes to having a stranger in the middle seat. because I think there are social norms when it comes to having a stranger in the middle seat. And I think you do need to defer to them sometimes. But my guy, instead of putting his stuff in the overhead compartment, he decided to just have it between his legs the entire time

and he had an aggressive man spread the entire flight. So his knee, personal item? I mean, we were, okay. So I should set the table a little bit more. We were on a Spirit Airlines flight. Oh. Ever heard of it? And so not a lot of room in general.

And he had his entire patella on my side of the seat. Patella. The front part of the knee? I believe so. Part of the knee. Patella. We might want to Google this. Knee adjacent.

We might want to Google this. adjacent we might want to google this you could just say knee right look at randy sounds like a guy who's torn his acl you're trying to sound i can't believe y'all don't know what fucking patella is our dog i've heard of the patella tendon i'm more of a more of a just like straight up peanut butter guy yeah i get it i get it a little too much sugar and dude what's up with nutella is that how you say it i think it's under i think it's underrated in amer. I feel like other countries overrate it. Isn't it like crazy sweet? Yeah, but it's just like a hazelnut spread.

Man, I don't fuck with it. Anyway, sorry. Go ahead. Someone do something with hazelnut spread. I was gonna do something with like Nutella friends. I don't know. Okay. Go back to the patella situation. Like, at one point he started falling asleep and he was still manspreading and so I tried to do like a little sneaky like bump of the knee to see ifatella situation like at one point he started falling asleep and he was still man

spreading and so i tried to do like a little sneaky like bump of the knee to see if he would be like oh i'm sorry a sleep spread yeah he was doing a sleep spread and and i didn't know what to do and when i when i did the bump of the knee he rustled a little bit and moved it a little bit but not nearly enough and so i was kind of like contorted the entire flight did he also have something under the seat yeah so he had so much so much stuff in his area that he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't even put his legs together. Who is this guy? I thought the flight attendant might handle it.

They didn't seem to care. You should have like- He had too much fucking shit with him. Press the button and like, just to like, not completely narked on him, but like just to get a flight attendant over and be like, um, hey. I'll do one of these. Can I get a drink? We flew flew allegiant there allegiant incredible experience absolutely loved the airline i will ride for allegiant from here on out until i have a bad

experience uh spirit back i'll ride for most of it except for the fact that they just try to get you to sign up for a credit card the entire time like i don't want to i'm trying to vibe out watching knives out so randy stops telling me to watch knives out and you're you're trying to vibe out watching Knives Out, so Randy stops telling me to watch Knives Out, and you're trying to shove 18% APR down my throat. Like, what's your problem? You watch it? I'm halfway through. The flight ended. It's fine.

Yeah. The way that I felt about the first one was like, okay, that was entertaining. It was a good way to spend two hours. Is that like beef? Oh, wait. I was thinking Glass Onion. Knives Out is better than Glass Onion. Oh, yeah.

I'm sorry. I was watching Glass Onion. Somehow I knew that, even though that's not what you said. I'm definitely enjoying Glass Onion more than I enjoyed Knives Out is better than Glass Onion. Oh yeah, I'm sorry. I was watching Glass Onion. Somehow I knew that, even though that's not what you said. I'm definitely enjoying Glass Onion more than I enjoyed Knives Out. Oh, disagree. But that's okay. I think I vibe with the cast more. It might not be fair. It is what it is. Randy was like, yeah. Your ball.

Randy was like, dude, Madeline Klein's in there. I was like, Randy, chill out. Dave looks like, what's his face? What's his name? Daniel Craig? Is that it? O.D. Craig? I think you look more like, this is going to be,

I think this is actually a big compliment to you. I feel like you look more like him in the Bond movies than you look like him in the Knives Out series. If you get on some tea replacement therapy and just hit it hard, like, you could get there. You could get in his ballgame. I'm trying to hold out until 40.

Okay. So. I will try. Get the good stuff stuff i want you to really bulk up like bezos is yeah bezos is clearly on t therapy right i've been seeing photos of him walking around places like that guy is absolutely shredded on hgh good for him good for him he's doing okay in life did y'all see him at f1 miami no he looked so much hotter than elon did people were comparing the billionaires at f1 miami and like bezos just fucking rocked elon shit elon did not look great elon never looks great he hasn't looked great ever the one time i saw him in person the one jarring thing was i was like oh he's like he he doesn't look good one particular

close-up shot of him that i saw his nipples are just absolutely busting through his shirt we can't nipple shame though i'm not trying to like once you get over the age of 30 your nipples are going through every shirt dylan's very very aware of his nipples i'm a hard nipple guy i understand the struggle i saw him at the gym recently he needs to put he needs to get those things under control dude when i first when i first moved down here and i started wearing performance polos often because i sweat more down here like dylan made numerous comments not about my nipples but just about nipples in performance polos and like I sweat more down here. Like Dylan made numerous comments, not about my nipples, but just about nipples in performance polos. And like, I was walking around the Grand X office

just worried. It's because I'm so nipple aware. Always top of mind. Because I might have, my nipples will absolutely protrude, protrude, protrude through a shirt. And so I look out for them. It's important to keep the chest hair

trimmed and under control. Otherwise, through some of the performance shirts, you start seeing follicle, and you just don't want follicle. But, dude, you have to be careful wearing the performance polo after trimming the chest hair because sometimes you have those kind of harsher, like a little more, like they're like stiffer, and your shirt will actually get caught on them. It's not good.

You can see my chest hair through my shirts a lot. I think it's kind of hot though. Yes. Hot's not the word I ever thought about. Well, your girl disagrees with you. Just a rogue hair. But I think, I actually think Robax. I think Robax polos actually do more for your nipples than other shirts do.

I think the thickness of the shirt is more appropriate for nipples than a lot of other shirts out there.

Hey, while we're on the topic, let's get through some announcements before we get into today's episode.

Tomorrow on Patreon, patreon.com slash circlingbackpodcast, we are going to do touching-based conspiracies. Can we just tell the people which ones we're doing since you guys already know? I have not chosen mine, but I think it would be worth telling the people at home what we're going to be covering tomorrow behind the paywall. I'll start. I'm doing Bigfoot.

And not only that, I'm bringing a guest in who has an in-person encounter with one that's going to tell his or her story. Did that person happen to see Bigfoot at a mid- to high-end steakhouse in Austin, Texas? That's a great guess, but no. Oh, okay. I know he sees a lot of people there. This person is known for that, but no.

Dave, are you willing to share yours just gonna get into the last two weeks of epstein we're going back to the app well it's kind of been hard because you and i are so deep in the epstein game at this point that like i actually would talk about it all the time if we could but i'm worried that people would get annoyed of us talking about epstein and i also worry that if we started talking about it more it would get us even more down the wormhole. Sure. Suddenly we're just like tinfoil hats on. Yeah. Um, we're going to get into the, uh, the contents of his calendar, his personal calendar that the wall street journal reported on a week or two ago. So

buckle up buckaroos. I've not chosen mine. If somebody wants to choose mine and I do it, uh, I'll give you some internet clout. That's huge. Yeah. Yeah. You should do.

Oh, um, did you know that Elvis Presley was in home alone or maybe you need to stop? It's a theory. You need to check it out. I'm so out of that look at the screenshot yeah i did i did can you kill 15 minutes on a podcast tomorrow based on that based on the one screenshot of a guy who kind of looks like elvis presley

yeah i think that's what he's saying oh we've also got listener voicemails thursday go leave a go leave a five-star review. You could do olive oil. And one of the mafia has control of the Italian mafia has control of the olive oil business and sends out fake olive oil. Ooh, mamma mia. I think we've discussed that briefly. I don't know if we've ever done it on that,

but just an idea. I thought you were talking, when you said I could do olive oil, I thought you were talking about Popeye's girl. Yeah, I was like, dude, I'm not going to do that to Popeye. He's not to be trifled with. You've seen those forearms? That's Popeye's Bay.

Real crankers know that Popeye's a real one. We're not using real crankers, man. Popeye's the realest of crankers. He's a big crank yankers watcher. He's a sailor. He's got all of them on a DVR. Smokes out of a pipe he's

fucking swag honestly dude honestly the more you think about it like he smokes a pipe all day and cranks like that's honestly a sick way to make a living on a boat nonetheless he did more for spinach than anyone i got a young player eating spinach big spinach was absolutely feasting back when popeye was on the airwaves he would just pop it into his mouth and just go do you ever get shocked by how much spinach goes into like sauteing some spinach it's just it blows my mind on the airwaves. He would just pop it into his mouth and just go. Do you ever get shocked by how much spinach goes into like sautéing some spinach?

It's just, it blows my mind every single time. Every single time it blows my fucking mind. It's never enough. What is that? You can get an entire thing

like this big and you can put it in one pan and suddenly it's a serving for two people. You could dump a truckload into a pan and you're gonna get

two servings out of it. It makes me feel like if I'm at a restaurant and I order a spinach salad, I feel like I'm getting screwed every single time. I'm like, wait, you should give me a full thing. Damn. Makes you think, dog.

I'm thinking, fool. Makes you think. Hey, we also got some new stuff dropping soon on the Wash Media shop, washmedia.shop. Go check that out and look forward. If you want to get your five-star review of the week read on Wednesday's program by one of these two gentlemen in the room that aren't me,

because I won't be here on Wednesday, please leave one, please leave one. But without further ado, it's time. Recapping this weekend and fun presented by our friends over at rowback back or 20 gets you 20% off everything at rowback. They've been dropping some absolute heat lately.

Heat. Dylan's wearing it right now. I've gotten many compliments on the color of my shirt, and of course, it's a rowback, so it fits perfectly, and it feels great and all that. This is one of those shirts that I never saw come through the office. They were sending him stuff to his house, and he was just keeping it and then giving us the other stuff.

You and Randy are having a little what I call a back off. Here's the thing about... Because Randy's is tight, too. Being the only large shirt-wearing gentleman in this room is that I get first pick of the largest, which is a huge benefit to your board. I might bulk up just to give you some competition. Brett's not a large?

Well, it's Brett. He is, but I get first pick over Brett. Who's got better shoulders, you or Brett? Better shoulders? Yeah. He definitely has wider shoulders. Okay, so he has better shoulders. Okay, sure. Yeah. Do you know what broad means he has he has broader

shoulders than i pop i's got a different different definition for that take your broad don't do that polo sorry i'm gonna stop doing pop i it's a dated reference joggers don't even sound like him they have a women's line out quarter zips women's line check out the women line. I can't speak to those myself because I haven't worn them, but I assume they're amazing because they're rope. Dylan, just tell the people you've tried on the women's line and you like it. You screenshotted that post and sent it to us. Can you imagine how much our swamp ass would go away if we could wear athletic golf skirts on the golf course?

I'd find a way. It'd be so sick. Have I told you all what I ordered in preparation for a sweat season on the golf course i saw it i saw it in a bunch of desire golf comments tell us i brought spray on gold bond oh they've got a spray yeah that's huge so catch me doing this catch me doing that on my butt you can hit your crack with it doing the powder and my lower back i think is the move yeah the powder trying to do the powder and applying that to the parts that need applying is a beating. Not literally.

Not like – You can't do that with the powder, dude. You spray, and that's – now you got my attention. Order two. Just order a book. We'll get a Costco. Well, I'll just – I might have to apply to you. I don't know if I'm okay with, like, giving my boy the spray and then letting him go in the bathroom with it

and coming back out and handing me my spray back. I got to go in with you and just do you. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, Backer20. Best ad we've done in a while. Backer20 will get you 20% off at checkout. Rowback.com.

Somebody walks in the men's locker room and just on your back with your... That's me spraying dave's butt i'll probably handle that myself if i'm gonna do it self-application nope nope then you gotta get your own bottle you can't take another man's sprayable gold bond do you remember that um true life it was like mtv i want to be a bodybuilder or a fitness competitor and they showed the video of the guys. He would live with his dad and his dad would like shave his butt for him.

Yeah. Yeah. That was much more weird. Like now I'm like, okay, I kind of get that. Yeah. But at the time it was like,

dude, what the hell? My favorite dad was a calf implant guy. Yeah. At the very end, he was on the beach, like happier than anyone. Now I'm perfect.

Good for you, sir. Dylan, what'd you get into this weekend? Thanks for asking, Will. My weekend was a good weekend. It wasn't a weekend you had, but I had some good family time. I hung out with my sister, brother-in-law, my two nieces, and my son, and my dad pretty much all weekend.

It was really great. The race. What? Nothing. It was really great. The race. What? Nothing. The Kentucky Derby. I'm not much of a gambler, but the race is about to start, and we're sitting there. My dad's like, you guys want to get some action in on this race?

And we're like, eh, whatever. I'll put like $10 in. Kendall, my brother-in-law, he just picks a random horse. He has no research. He's like, all right, here's one that's kind of middle of the road odds-wise. Let i just added he just picks a random horse he just he has no research just like all right here's one that's kind of middle of the road odds wise let's just go with mage whatever probably not gonna win but i make the race more fun so my dad enters in um we each put i think 10 bucks in he accidentally enters in the the bet twice so we're each in for i guess whatever it came out to and we won and it was very exciting

i'm jealous it was very exciting yeah so that was that was a little highlight of the weekend made little dough what you're you're holding back something dave just say now that i was just thinking about if he used a betting service that may have been a sponsor in the past out of like Antigua and I was just thinking of the the the slogans that they would let us use yeah my don't be a don't be a I think he just has a book like he's like my blank yeah I don't think he's dumb yeah but I think who actually do still owe us money by the way i don't think we're gonna yeah probably yeah yeah thank you for that there's a number of people yeah that was pretty much it it's a pretty low-key family family weekend what that would that boy get into

i just thought about the online betting services from six years ago all weekend uh friday uh we did a little work worked here at the office got out of here about one went and pumped went home my wife sent me a um a recipe that she was served on ig instagram and uh it was for chili's chicken crispers, but in a healthy way or a cleaner way. And to be clear, it was not their original chicken crispers. Like the original, the OG, the ones that don't have any sauce on them. Corn cob, fries, whole deal. Basically, my high school life was centered around eating those chicken crispers on Friday and Saturday. And we made them, and they were bomb. They were're phenomenal and i was air fry no no no not even oh

wow no it's just avocado oil batter them up phenomenal phenomenal um saturday was the day oh i don't want to get too much into this because it's really when it's juxtaposed with will's weekend this this is really lame but uh we've been lucky with roads that he's not been a throw-up guy doesn't puke often now he had acid reflux but not like wasn't like a projectile vomiter type he just had acid reflux as a young young baby but friday night we noticed he was like kind of down a little bit we're like oh what's wrong buddy and we felt him he was a little warm had a little fever like oh so he's sitting here on my lap i'm like what's going on bud doing that whole deal and he puts his hand puts his hand on his stomach and his stomach rumbles he goes what was

that and i was like oh it's your tummy buddy then he just all over me all over me and he goes i swear to god he just goes what happened and i was like oh dude you threw up and i was like it's okay some cute shit threw up a couple times more we're like okay i think lissa called sally oh did did sally say uh fritz just threw up too because fritz threw up this weekend. Oh, wow. That's wild. Yeah, whole squad on their puke shit. Yeah, their puke brothers.

On their puke shit. The disgusting brothers. They're the disgusting brothers. If we ever had a succession podcast, we would have to call it the discussing brothers. That's good. We can just call our segment that. Should we start a succession podcast the second it ends? First in commerce.

Let's do it. Let's put it out there. Yeah, but he was fine. He was fine the next day. I don't know if he ate something, but it was not fun cleaning that up and just being covered in puke. Never a good thing. Saturday, this is when it gets real wild.

Spent about two and a half to three hours in the front yard, hand removing with a tiny shovel Dallas grass, which is a weed that when mowed blends in very nice with St. Augustine, but it's not grass or it's an invasive weed and you got to get it out and it's a real bitch to get out. And I did that for a long time when I filled up my little compost container with it. You're on that compost grind. I was out there with a long sleeve, like under armor. I had a bucket hat on. I was like in full Gardner mode. Gardner Dave was in full effect. Did you get a fit pic? No.

One of my neighbors probably drove by and got one because I looked like a total idiot. But my knees are all scraped up. But it felt good getting out there, getting in the yard a little bit, getting in the weeds, as they say. Literally. Saturday night was just straight up combat sports. A little UFC, a little Canelo fight. May have had some stream issues.

Legal or illegal stream issues. Hard to say, truly. Or urinary. We got it done. Well, that too. Sunday? Sunday was relaxing. I saw Dylan at the gym briefly.

We had a nice bathroom conversation. I saw you and then I saw Dan upstairs. You saw Dan? Was gym briefly. We had a nice bathroom conversation. I saw you. Then I saw Dan upstairs. You saw Dan? Was Dylan taking a hot girl walk on the treadmill? I did a high intensity interval workout. Or as I like to call them, H-I-I-T. And I got after it.

Your boy was doing work. Incline sprints. You know nothing about those. This is the guy who made fun of me for sprinting a while back goes what am i ever gonna sprint again i'm never gonna sprint and now look at him he's doing hiit sprints dude it's a good workout it is good it's great i'll put my shit if you want to try it next time bitch um i'm good and then you know what man i just yesterday was just relaxing i got i had about two hours to to myself because my wife took my son to a birthday party.

I didn't have to go. Took a nap. Haven't taken a nap in a long time. Sounds great. Nap for about – you'll love this – 28 minutes. Nice. It's a good nap, man. You know what?

And I wasn't even mad. I was like, this is perfect. Well, they say you're not supposed to nap for too much longer than that in general. It's a little cat nap. It can affect your sleep cycle too much. That's what they say. A 20 supposed to nap for too much longer than that in general. It's a little cat nap. It can affect your sleep cycle too much. That's what they say. A 20-minute nap is almost prime. Daddy is due for a good nap, actually.

All right, let's get to the main event. Went to Louisville, Kentucky for the Kentucky Derby. 140-night running of it, in fact. We arrived Friday morning, and we did what you do when you get to Kentucky. Immediately had a whiskey tasting. Drank some bourbon. Shout out to Old Forrester. It was very enjoyable. From there, we decided to, we went over to another bar.

Had a little more whiskey. And then it was like, you know what? Let's go take a little rest for a second. So we went back to the hotel. Nap? No. No nap. No nap. We just kind of vibed out for a little bit. Got changed, freshened up a little bit. And we hit the town. We went to something called the Sherby Party, which is kind of like a local block party that they have.

Pretty straightforward situation there. We saw some fire dancers. Oh. Not the most impressive fire dancers I've ever seen, but fire dancers nonetheless. Do they dance with fire, David? One of the dudes put a bunch of gasoline in his mouth and was spraying it out and trying to get it to set on fire. And it took a couple tries. And I couldn't stop laughing at thinking about, do you guys watch Arrested Development?

Yeah. Do you remember when Joe became a magician and he tried to shoot flames out of his suit and only lighter fluid came out? And then he looked at everybody and he said, yeah, but where'd the the lighter fluid come from that's all i could think about the entire time surely this person didn't put gasoline in their mouth i don't know it was it was something very flammable i think i think vodka would have done the trick it was i don't think it was vodka it smelled really bad can i ask a question pertaining to the trip sure when i used two's fellers, you and Brett, uh, posted a bottle of Pappy. Yes. Two bottles, two different bottles. Um, I know that's a, that's a different distillery, but I'm just curious how, um, it was that good because the only times I've had it,

I've had it once and I had to have it with like, I didn't have like a cherry Coke to mix in it. I'd have it straight and it was just a little bit tough yeah i usually cut it with a little bit of uh soda as well when i drink it but we they didn't have any so we just decided to drink it straight and it was fine it was fine i will note that uh the company card was holstered for the pappy tasting that we did that was i that we got i got out in front of that one i said if go order this, just know that we have to pay for this on our own. That's good. I think it was fair. I think it was fair.

And so, yeah, we had a pretty good time on Friday. We did turn in a little early as we knew that Saturday was going to be a very big day. So we closed the night out with some pizza and some Blink-182 Pandora radio with one of the friendliest bartenders I've ever met. What's the Zaz scene like up there? I don't know outside of this one restaurant, but it was one of the most enjoyable pizzas I've had in a really long time. Y'all posted it. It looked great. We had those cut pepperonis that just collect all that grease in there.

I love those. If you had to rate it 1 to 10 after having just one bite, what would you give it? Yeah, everyone knows the rules. What would you give it? Dude, I'd give it like an 8.2. Oh, wow. It's pretty big. That's a good za.

Pretty good. And then Saturday was obviously the day. We really front-loaded the day with our activities in the morning. We arrived at the track. We immediately went to tour everything and kind of go around. We met up with the contacts who brought us there. We got to stand behind Lisa Leslie inlie in line former wmba great major shout out to la sparks uh tall very tall very very friendly one of the goats man

i love that and then we also saw emmett smith in that same little area so we were absolutely cooking right there i'm out not tall i didn't say he said hi to me and i snubbed it i said that was for dylan bitch yeah dude yeah how you gonna deny 10 year old dylan an autograph right in his face i'm not going to dylan no what's your fucking problem so uh you're probably a little bitch about it though i said mr smith can i have your autograph please handed him a football and a sharpie no other other kids were around. Did you take the cap off? No other kids were around. It sounded like he was going to have to sit there and sign for 20 minutes. It was just us.

Jerk. He said, nah. Walked off. Hey, man, you stink, buddy. What year was this? I was 10. So this was 1993. This is when they used to do training camp at St. Edwards University in South Austin.

1993. This is when they used to do training camp at St. Edwards University in South Austin. So I'm wondering if this is the holdout year where he held out the first couple games of the Cowboys season. Hard to say. I'm just trying to, for context. They started 0-2, I believe. Yeah, I don't know. Anyway, went on to win the Super Bowl and he went on to become the leading rusher. And I went on to become just extremely heartbroken. Yeah. Sad. You'll be fine. And I went on to become just extremely heartbroken yeah sad you'll be fun and i went on just to never mind come lost a lot of money at the track lost a lot of money at the track what's the damage not too

bad actually not too bad um i walked away with money still in my pocket which seemed to me like it was a win. But I was impressed with Brett's racing knowledge until he went on. He kind of started hitting a little run of bad luck as well. Did he have the little book? No, we had the program, but he also had a full spreadsheet on his phone that he had shared with me prior to the race, to the running. So it was pretty fun. But yeah, we just kind of hung out. to the running so it was pretty fun um but yeah we just kind of hung out uh after we had all of our stuff going on we just uh went back to our seats and and hung out placed some bets enjoyed

ourselves we had a couple mint juleps we uh yeah we just we just vibed out shot to the backers that came up and said what up saw a couple of them good dudes that's sick man we had one backer come up and he was like all pumped about his jacket and he he had this just absolute flex of a blazer on. And then he's like, dude, every other guy here is wearing the same blazer. And we're like, no, he's not. And we start looking around. We're like, oh, yeah, there's one. There's one.

Oh, yeah. Sorry, bud. You look good, though. I don't remember his name, but major shout to you. And major shout to the guy in line at the airport yesterday at 6.45 AM wearing the scary sweatshirt. Yeah. Made my morning. made my morning made my

morning haven't seen one of those in the wild uh outside of that little wood drills one other time so that was very exciting that's awesome to answer your question uh i don't know when things girls do after graduation will be finished so we'll we'll figure that out later then yeah yesterday got home immediately ate two pieces of pizza played my zocard uh since it did reset yesterday and i went to bed. Hope you're taking notes. Respect the terms, David. I have to admit, as someone who will be in New York City later this week, I will be absolutely reckless with my Zocard.

He might need to cut it up when I get home. Dave, you hear that? I haven't had an infraction yet, but I'm just saying. I'm on watch. I don't want to hear it from you. Care to comment on your friend there? There's a glaring lack of za in your weekend and fun, which I know you're hiding something.

Oh, you're hiding something. How many pieces of pizza did you eat this weekend, Dylan? Actually, I did have a couple on Friday. Same transaction? Oh, yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah. Where from?

You can say Papa John's. It was actually store-bought like it was a frozen pizza okay yeah giorno no it wasn't giorno what brand specifically i don't know you're just eating pizza my sister and brother-in-law brought it brought it over are you sure it was a delivery yeah you're doing a giorno playiorno play there, and I'm not going to let it happen. Yeah. That's exactly what I was doing, to be honest. Yeah.

You know a big sausage pizza still counts. Like that's a separate transaction. You know that, right? PSP? I need a PSP, man. You know what a transaction I've made recently that made – I'm still seeing dividends from? Our good friends over at Nutrafol. A lot of people don't realize this, but let me learn you something.

came back from an event that is aside from the the famous horse race that occurred yes is also very well known for just getting fits off, throwing fits. Facts. It's a high-pressure, get-a-fit-off environment. And so you had to, especially since you and Barrett have a podcast that's called Retail Therapy, a lot of pressure on you gentlemen. There was a lot of pressure. If anyone's listened to the episodes leading up to this derby, everyone knows how much Barrett and I were just freaking out. We didn't know what to wear. And I do know that on Retail Therapy, you guys are going to get into your outfits in more detail

and discuss it probably at length. I don't want to do that. I just want to do some snap reactions to what you guys put together and just kind of give my thoughts, and you guys feel free to weigh in as much as you want. Is there any way, Randy, you can pull up Brett's Instagram from last night? Oh, okay. Randyandy off mic says no way and then he starts to pull yeah now's the time for a snarky joke randy jokes back there i like

snarky producer randy yeah i can do that like yeah buddy i think i think i could pull that off where is it give us the fit um for at first glance all three of you guys look fantastic it's what what about second glance uh at first glance all you guys look fantastic yeah there we are um yeah i like a lot of what i'm seeing here all three have sunglasses on that are like good looking sunglasses i don't think you could have paid us to not have sunglasses on as barrett said first thing in the morning or no when barrett and i were walking out of the red carpet which we didn't know we were actually going to do so that was kind of exciting and and not have sunglasses on. As Barrett said first thing in the morning, or no, when Barrett and I were walking onto the red carpet, which we didn't know we were actually going to do,

so that was kind of exciting and also anxiety-inducing. He looked at me and he goes, yeah, I'm going sunglasses on because my eyes are very tired right now. Time out. Did Brett not get to walk it? He could have if he wanted to, but he chose to stay back.

He chose to stay back. What a dumb guy. You know what? He knows the talent. Dude, that was kind of, honestly, that was kind of a big dick biz development guy move i mean like no no that's that's for you i'm gonna go barrett first will second and brett third okay that's close though barrett was a little a little toned down uh for barrett in my opinion his suit hit so hard he was a little

understated the ops are freaking out right now seeing this he looks fantastic no tie um he's got the first button undone he's got the suit on he looks he looks great just for Barrett I expected him to dazzle a little bit more Dylan they hate this they do the shoes that are not pictured in this in this one but his shoes they're not I I assume if they're on a wave that I don't understand yet, if Barrett's wearing them and I don't like – it looked kind of like Doc Martens to me. They were? They were Doc Martens. They were? Okay.

Which, again, I would never do that, but Barrett's on some shit that I don't understand. So I just have to give – I have to just play the dumb card on that one. You know? Are those in? They're in. I just heard of Barrettrett i assume if he's wearing something that it's in so they're probably in in parts of the country or world that we haven't yet caught up to i think they're closer to european right now yeah they're

really hot in slovenia look great um the overall best outfit for me goes to goes to will wow i was not expecting that thank you dylan you look you look great. The ascot really set it off. I was so nervous to wear an ascot in public. The ascot with the sunglasses. And what color is that suit? You know, they say it's light brown, but I would say it's more tan. OK. I would say it's more tan.

Yeah, the ascot itself was a big risk. And I think it paid off. What do you call those shoes? These are Sabas. They're made in Turkey. But Saba is a company out of Dallas. And I've been wearing these for a while you call those shoes? These are Sabas. They're made in Turkey. But Saba is a company out of Dallas. And I've been wearing these for a while. These are actually some of my oldest shoes.

I thought you looked great. Thank you. I love it. No one wore a bow tie. Made me so happy. Yeah, that must make you happy. That's a big bow tie thing. Made me so happy.

The Ascot. I've never owned an Ascot. I wouldn't know how to put it together. But you did it. And it looks great. What I learned is that you just shove it in your shirt. No one says anything. You were so neutral neutral tone and then you hit us with the ascot like pow right in our faces you know yeah i didn't think the ascot was going to arrive in time

and uh they actually sent it uh expedited shipping and uh it got here the day like the day before we left and it was just any time that you have to worry about your ascot arriving oh so the one you originally ordered actually did show up. It did show up. Oh, that's huge. I ended up getting it, which was big for me. Your fit went, it went brazy. Thank you. Thank you.

I appreciate that. And guess what, Dylan? Even though I had fabric wrapped around my neck on an 80 degree day all day, it was light enough that it didn't even matter. I was comfy the entire time. Is this silk, John? I think it was a silk wool blend or something. But like, I mean, it was light as fuck.

Dave, you just don't see that. I got a Barrett question. You don't see that. I noticed Barrett was silk wool blend or something. But I mean, it was light as fuck. Dave, you just don't see that. I got a Barrett question. You don't see that. I noticed Barrett was wearing a belt. Yes. So I wonder, and this is probably a question for Barrett, but Barrett is the first person to tell me like, oh, if you have a tailored suit, you don't need to wear a belt.

Even if you're going to like a wedding or something, it's optional. I'm just wondering what went into the process of him going belt. It looks great. Barrett always looks great. I think he said that he might have needed the utility of a belt or something. It's optional. I'm just wondering what went into the process of him going belt. It looks great. Barrett always looks great. I think he said that he might have needed the utility of a belt.

Okay. I think that might have been it. Like, it wasn't a stylistic choice as much as it was need to wear a belt with these pants. Okay.

Because I made a comment about that. I actually like wearing a belt. I like having a belt on. My suit is the first suit I've ever owned without belt loops and which was anxiety inducing that's sick like barrett in a group of 10 guys like he's

not like he's not gonna jump out like oh that guy's fucking killing it but he looks fucking good oh yeah that makes sense great i love barrett's suit if i could swagger jack barrett like i kind of wish barrett was like more like i wish he was more distant from me in life so I could get that suit that he wore and wear it to other things. All right, let me get to Brett now. The bolo tie is something that you don't really see at the Kentucky Derby. You don't think bolo tie when you think Derby. You think bright colors and you think bow ties and big hats.

A bolo, you don't see that. Yeah. I thought from the waist up, Brett looked as good as anyone out there. Oh, no. I think he fucking crushed it. The bolo was a trending topic. He did. People were loving it.

It went like his suit coat. His coat was great. The sunglasses, he had a great hair day. He looked handsome as fuck. He looked hot. From the waist down, front room, he just bounced right back to him, I thought, a little bit. Wow.

Dude, he's not even in the room, and you're going to drag him? I know, I know. I didn't love the pants-shoe situation on Brett. And I own these pants, and I love these pants. Do we need to get him in here to defend himself? I believe uh from a sponsor i'm not dogging the pants i actually wore the same pants over the weekend but i just think with that outfit they didn't quite fit okay so brett looked so hot brett looked so hot he did look so hot he looked so hot that a girl came up to us a good-looking girl i will add a girl came up to us and she said okay i have a question for you guys she was hammered hammered she goes i have a question for you guys we were

like yeah she goes are you guys from um and i was like what's she gonna say i hope she says washed media right now and then she started to say a word that started with an s and i was like she's gonna say sunday scaries and then she goes, are you guys from Summer House? The second she said that, Brett goes, I know exactly who she's talking about. There's a dude on Summer House who looks like Brett. Is this when y'all were in a part of the... We were at our seats. Okay, so this is well-to-do people were around.

Is it Kyle? Yes, yes. So like, for example, like... You weren't in the MPL. We were there because they put us there, which was an awesome thing. And we were, and like, the seats were incredible. So there were other people there who could afford those seats.

Ask the mystique who's around. Kind of. The area that we were in for that part, you could tell that there were some people there that might have been people people. Like famous. Brett's shoes, and I don't know the brand. They're loafers. Probably call on.

He's got to shine those up if he's going to wear them to an event like this. They're beat up. They look like he. Probably call on. He's got to shine those up if he's going to wear them to an event like this. They're beat up. They look like he's done some walking. I thought he got brand new ones. Wasn't he? I don't think those are the ones, though. Interesting. He needs to shine those bad boys up or just go with a new shoe altogether.

Hey, the Summer House thing is really funny. I'm not familiar with it, but I just looked up their cast. You could find three people. It's Kyle. Brett's three people. It's Kyle. Brett's Kyle Cook. It's Kyle. Will's Luke Galbranson. And Barrett, Amit Newman.

So Barrett was actually placing a bet for one of his buddies when this happened. But yeah, it was immediately Kyle. And the girl was very confused. OK. But it was hilarious. Yeah, I see it. It was hilarious. That guy's got a – he's jaw-gaming.

It's crazy. Having said what I said. Crazy. Brett looked really hot. He looked good. I just would have gone with some different choices waist down if I were Brett. I think – I saw numerous women fall in love with Brett. He looked great.

They just looked at him. They were like, yo. Not trying to take anything away from him. Can I ask a style question at large here? Did anyone pull off the sport coat like up top with the nice shorts on the bottom because i saw that in miami at the f1 quite a bit the one okay that's so yes a lot of people were doing that we did see a famous person doing this if you're famous the rules don't apply are you ready for the famous person that we saw doing this look. Which genre of fame are they?

Sports? Entertainment? He's on a famous television show. Oh, my God. Elijah Wood? Could be anybody. Uh-huh. Could be anybody, huh?

Was it Jerry Seinfeld? It was not Jerry Seinfeld. Have you guys familiar with Shark Tank? Yeah. Mr. Wonderful. Yeah, a little bit. Mr. Wonderful had a table in front of us, and he was rocking the seersucker top, seersucker shorts. Here's the thing.

When your nickname is Mr. Wonderful, you wear whatever you want. It didn't matter. It didn't matter, dude. He was loving life. This pic goes so fucking hard. Yeah. Shout out to, I think it was Louisville Woman Magazine for taking this photo of us. At what point did you decide you weren't going to smile for this?

I did a mixture. I told myself before we went on the red carpet, I was like, well, when people go on the red carpet, they hit different poses. So you need to do different things. And so I went all in. You guys look legitimately famous. Oh my God, I bricked the red carpet.

I bricked it. What do you mean? I did such an amateur move on my first ever red carpet. Oh, you took a picture of the cameras. No, no. I asked Barrett. Barrett actually did it first, and I was like, I'm going to do it. Well, we had downtime. They weren't snapping photos of us

when we took photos of them. We were waiting for the dog to stop getting interviewed. What did he have to say? It was so ridiculous. We were between a dog and Gretchen Whitmer. So they have X's. I'm going to learn you something here about red carpets that I didn't know. They have X's marked on the red carpet

for where you're supposed to stand in front of. Obviously, the Xs are not on the ground because then you'd see them in all the photos. Well, I'm an idiot. And when they said, yeah, stand in front of the X, I walked up to the X and a photographer looked at me, he goes, yeah, you need to back up. And I was like, yeah, that makes sense. That makes sense. Oh, you like right in front of the X. The X is right in front of them. So I went and stood like three feet away from it. And I think I heard Barrett laugh and I was like,

man, I just bricked my first ever red carpet. They didn't tell us that we were going to do this, but when they offered it to us, we were like, well, we can't not do it. Absolutely. It's not your first ever red carpet. I can have to remind you about a Friday's in Corpus Christi. You're right.

You're right. Dave's correct. We opened up a Friday's there. Not a lot. The ops don't like talking about that, but it happened. I bet you Barrett was thriving in this environment. He just seemed like a guy who'd really appreciate

being on a red carpet. I was very much looking to him for what to do. I was very nervous of what to do. So I was looking to Barrett the entire time, just hoping that he could get me out of it. He didn't, and Barrett's got that swag though.

He's got that pretty boy swag. Fuck yeah, he does. So he made it easy on me. But yeah, it was an interesting situation. Those are my, those are my opinions. I mean,

do whatever you want with them. Do you have any coronation takes, Dylan? I didn't catch a ton of the coronation. What do you think, what do you think King Charles is fit for the coronation? Heylan uh i didn't catch a ton of the coordination what do you think king charles is fit for the coronation he was doing a lot uh glaring lack of megan markle which i guess this

was known going in that she wasn't going to be there dave were you having a full-on coronation party at your house no because i know alyssa's a royals person we recorded it because she didn't want to get up at 4 30 or i got up for it up for it. Did you really? I couldn't sleep. Couldn't sleep. I woke up and watched the entire thing. Yeah, we did not. But I was having fun with the people who thought Meghan Markle was there in disguise. And then someone pointed out like, no, this is actually this human.

And like, this is the person who it is. It was so funny that the rumor was flying around that that was Meghan Markle in disguise. I was like, there's no way she would do that. How about you just don't go? Why would she just not go? I want to go, but I want anybody to know I'm there. The biggest story was Prince Harry, what he was going to be doing. He sat a couple rows behind.

He sat with some relatives. And he seemed to have a smile on his face the entire time, yucking it up, having fun. Which is, I think, for him, that's the move. Whether you like him or not, you can at least acknowledge the move for him is to smile and look happy the entire time while everyone else looks a little miserable. And I think he did a good job there. So she didn't go... Because she hates his family. Just because of the whole... Yeah. Too many ops. The rift. Yeah.

Well, then King Charles... And then their son, Archie, it was his birthday. And so Archie stayed back in California. And King Charles... I have an article pulled up from the New York Post. And it says, King Charles made a post-coronation birthday toast to his grandson Archie and said wherever he was. Yeah. Which is a little bit of a slight. Yeah, certainly.

If I'm Archie and I grow up and start to become aware of the whole situation at hand right now, I might be going up to my father and being like, hey, why didn't you bring me to grandpa's coronation? That seems like a big deal in my life, even if it's like something

that you're not into right now. On my birthday, nonetheless. It's just a long flight with the baby. You just think Harry didn't want to deal with this? Yeah, it's like, dude. You think Megan was like, no, babe, you just go. You just go. It'll just come back yeah come back later here's here's the ipad some headphones yeah try to take try to just enjoy yourself get photos coronation's weird as

fuck so who is that guy i don't know the carl havoc looking dude dude he was dripping he was oh i was talking when i said charles havoc here i was just talking about charles getting all the shit put on him oh i'm gonna hit him with the crown and stop how many pims cups did you have dude i like pims cups dog they were good they are good i'm just curious if you had any in celebration a british mojito a 5 a.m pims cup is charles just like a total dick bag he's people like him like he's a bag of dicks no because well did you see the shot of him pulling up in the little uh buggy thing and he's just like pouring someone out he looks so pissed off about the whole situation you know what it's his day man uh i

think that i think the vibe on him is that he's generally kind of a grumpy person i don't seem very happy what's with his fingers too i think he's just old, dude. He's old, and he did, back when he was having an affair with his now wife, he did state that he fantasized about being her tampon. Yeah, I don't know how that relates to his fingers, but yeah, I do remember that. No, no, no. What are you supposed to do when you're getting the crown put on you? You can't just have a cheesy fucking grin on your face the entire time. I feel like you have to just boldface it you have to be a stoic strong figure i was talking about

how he was he was talking to someone inside his buggy thing i didn't see that call that and he's just like i don't think it's like is it a he looks so put out well he's a king of england you gotta do whatever the fuck when i hear when i hear buggy i think of like oh god dude that's what people some people call shopping carts, buggies. Yeah. British people in parts of the country, other parts of the country. Really?

Country. Yeah. Parts of the country called. I'm not, I'm not questioning you. I'm just saying like, I'm insulting the people that are doing that. Randy, you,

where you're from. Randy says, no, I feel like that's only a British thing. No, they call it a trolley. This is what they call it. A book,

but, but buggy. Yeah. I do think they call it King Charles. Maybe like in the East Coast. A carriage, Dylan, a carriage. A carriage. A fetch for the carriage.

This one's for Archie, whatever he might be. There are people out there who call it a buggy that I want to hear from on some way. Email Dylan at washedmedia.com. No, don't. Just tweet me. You want to hear from me. I'll probably give you a like on Twitter and I won't respond, but I want to know that you're there. You appreciate their presence on the TL in your mentions.

Do you think Katy Perry killed it? I didn't watch her, actually. I missed her part. I didn't watch. So I didn't watch the whole thing. I tuned in as like the archbishop of something was doing some type of sermon just before they crowned him. Okay. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, I feel like this one didn't i feel like it should have felt more special and just in general like i feel like we have we've never seen one of these in our lifetime and i thought i thought it would kind of be like this like it was just kind of like you know what he looks depressed like who cares anymore and then it got memed into oblivion which i think reduces the uh the prestige saw some people commenting about turning a side piece into a queen or something which is you know it is what it is his side piece who famously right the tampon thing which we mentioned already yeah yeah yeah that was

a side piece at one point then he got married to her dave and now she's uh queen of england full circle queen consort, of course. I didn't like the part where he was sitting there at the feast and was like ordering his uncle around, like bossing him around and making him be like pour him wine and stuff. Like his uncle, who's a little person. And it was just weird. I didn't care for that. And then, I don't know, man. Just me, personally.

What's his name? Jaffrey? What is it? What? King Jaffrey? Only Will understands this. Jaffrey. Thank you, Randy.

Only real got fans, though. You don't have to do them like that. Randy helped me land that plane. King Jaffrey. Yeah. Of course. Yeah, of the got franchise. Yes, exactly.

Jaffrey. Big fan. King Jaffrey. That guy franchise. Yes, exactly. Big fan. King Geoff, that guy sucks. Sucked. He's dead now. Spoiler alert. Dude, I'll say this. I'll say this. Kate Middleton?

What's up? She's always been fine. Was Pippa there? What's up? Pippa wasn't there. I'm Pippa. I'm getting an invite to that. I made it two weeks where Pippa was there. Pippa's there. Pippa was there. Pippa. pippa wasn't there uh i'm pippa i'm getting an invite to that there's two weeks where pippa was there pippa was there pippa pippa yeah pippa was everyone's hall pass for like a

week after the uh the wedding she's still mine she was bad oh yeah the middleton family's got great genes i ain't talking denim are they mugsy i said i wasn't talking denim so i mean now you've made it weird your boy was racking up pippa violations i was just straight up talking about my health dang yeah she's i was taking so many shots i heard they started calling me scotty pippa dude she stole the show at their wedding pippa pig over here it was the pippa show. Sorry, I need to chill out. You do need to chill out. Dude said Pippa violation. What's your problem, David?

I don't know. You can tell I don't have a lot of knowledge on this topic because I'm just lobbing stupid grenades into it. I did something reckless this weekend. Did you lose them? I brought a pair of sunglasses to the derby that I shouldn't have brought to the derby.

What I should have done was not do that because it would have been a huge mistake. I brought some glasses that I bought for a special occasion one time, and I was at risk of losing them the entire time. And what sucks is that losing sunglasses right after you get them is the worst feeling in the world. Whether you break them, you have to throw them away,

whatever it could be, someone could push you in the lake and suddenly they're at the bottom of Lake Austin, which is famously just a damned river. But ever since we got our Shady Rays, we don't have to worry about that. Shady Rays makes high-quality sunglasses that are just as good, or in our opinion, even better than expensive ones.

And Shady Rays are a fraction of the price. They're durable, and they're built to tackle all of life's adventures. Their styles are timeless and on point, and they make you look good. And these things are polarized lenses, crystal clear vision, strong sun protection. What else do you need? You know how to stay polarized. Yeah, glare. Guess what, buddy?

Hey, buh-bye. You're out of here. Buh-bye. I wore them driving in today i wore them uh out in my yard on saturday i pretty much wear them all the time my faves well they have a lost and broken replacements program so if you break your loses uh the pair the second you take them out of the box they'll send you a replacement pair no questions asked no questions asked if you're not they're not happy unless you're happy That's why they give you 30 days to try them,

and if you don't like them, you can exchange them or return them for free. With every order, the Shady Rays Impact Program also works with nonprofits worldwide to make an impact on the lives of children and young adults, like building play sets for pediatric cancer patients and creating adventures for young adults with cancer and MS. You're making an impact together with them. Go make it happen.

last season just had nine so i'm making an assumption but you know what happens when you assume i'm pretty sure there are 10 i'm gonna i'm gonna check that because you're making a you and me seven did eat nine famously that yo that's facts trying to buy us some time that's facts whatever it's episode seven tailgate party are you a little bummed that they didn't actually go to a tailgate like that would have been sick to see their tailgate fits i'm not gonna lie the the title of the episode did confuse me a bit i was kind of excited to see like tom rocking like a peter millar like suede vest or some shit yeah their tailgate parties probably look different than the ones that i've been to where did tom go to college do we know where tom went to college

there's not some guy peeing between the trucks. I don't know. No. No one's jumping through folding tables. Can you imagine like Roman getting thrown through like a table? Sidewalk slammers. Do you remember what happened at that Bill's tailgate? I think it was. You have to be more specific than that.

A guy was performing an act. What was the act? A generous act, but an act that i don't i don't know it's not important doesn't relate to the eating something yeah like a glizzy no a lot of people at derby eating cheesecake on a stick okay i'll fuck with you like when we saw it someone someone said like man it's pretty early in the day for a cheesecake on a stick and i was in my head i was like not really there's a lot of food you can put on a stick. In my head, I was like, not really. There are a lot of foods you can put on a stick. I'm sorry. It was the Lions fan that was doing that.

Oh, yeah. What was he eating? Shout out to the Lions. Probably it's prey. Oh. It's a predator. Big cat. Anyway.

What's up? This is my favorite episode of the season and i need to i need to give it some time to set in potentially my favorite episode of the series i the season i thought that there was a lot of moving parts here i did enjoy it i don't i don't know where it stands for me i can't get on board with the full series part but i appreciate that you liked it that much because i'm kind of jealous you liked it that much. Episode three, The Passing of Logan, was the only episode in the whole series that I've gone back and immediately rewatched because I enjoyed it so much. Really?

I was hoping when I got in this morning you would not watch it yet and then I would watch it again and enjoy it because I'm going to watch it again this week. to watch it again this week and again we talked about this last week because they do it often it entirely it takes place nearly uh the bulk of it in one setting yeah in their tribe triplex which is i don't know a phrase that i kendall threw out he called it a triplex triplex everyone else did and i have not heard that but it makes sense i guess it's a three level yeah it's a sick a sick house very cool levels to this it's great to see tom get a backbone finally and like go off on someone that's long overdue that was such a satisfying scene yeah seeing him go in on shift for the first time seeing him tell he called it like it was and I don't think he was inaccurate in a lot of this. She has been just treating him like a doormat for way too long. Do you think his gift was well-received?

It was a bad call. Dude, I thought it was kind of swag. Scorpion paperweight? You put that on your desk, it's kind of a power move. You know, their venom is the most valuable liquid in the world david yeah i felt like octopus cum was or something that's number two oh yeah it's hard to get it out do octopuses actually i don't know will i thought it was ink it's a squid ah octopus might have it too i don't know i didn't think squids oh whatever you know we're not going to get right answer we're not gonna get the right answer you can't even look it up

no yeah i thought that was an interesting choice i i don't know what i was expecting but i wasn't expecting a scorpion and uh some lucite can can y'all remind me quickly who nate is her ds no uh he was the guy that she was knocking the bottom out of when they were when her and tom were kind of on the fritz he yeah he was who is he professionally he worked um with the i don't remember the character's name the bernie sanders super left wing uh did did i get the politico did i get the vibe last night that kendall was offering him a job as like an anchor or something or was i completely misinterpreting no as someone who doesn't understand the plot of the show from a business perspective so please do not let me talk more about it last night was an all-time business lingo that i don't

understand episode all of them are for me i'm dumb so this the election's about to go down um the candidate that nate works for n, like specializes in apparently now like regulatory work and essentially the way they're now trying to tank the deal is by tying it up in, uh, antitrust and, you know, spooking, spooking, um, investors and saying, well, we don't want to get into bed with if, if this is, you know, potentially going to be a regulatory issue. So he is trying to, he knows Nate has the contacts and has the power potentially to make that happen should his guy win the election, which it looks like it's going to. So he's basically saying, hey, our network, our media network that is very influential our network our media network that is very influential will be very nice to your guy for x amount of time if you make this happen or a year or whatever he said okay it's very very

i got the vibe that he was like okay i was very confused i have to admit that i was also very tired from uh drinking all day the day before the kentucky derby but like yeah i for a second i thought he was getting offered a job and i was like oh that actually could make sense for him a little political uh analyst job at atn i'd take that well no i probably wouldn't but but yeah it's it's dirty i mean this you assume this is how it actually goes down being the influence that media companies have on elected officials and it's just kind of crazy to think about how accurate that actually is yeah that's what i love i feel like this is like i feel lame saying this but i feel like i'm getting um i'm getting i'm peeking behind the curtain if you will into what what how this stuff actually goes and he's that this stuff doesn't all happen in one

room during one cocktail party but i mean like the influence that a news organization can have on the mindset of its viewers is, as we've seen all over the map. I'm starting to realize how true that actually is. I always just kind of thought it was like, whatever. People make their own decisions either way, but Succession? It's been hitting. It's been an

excellent season so far. It's been hitting. Do you think Roman's wiener shots are going to get spread anywhere? Do you think Roman's wiener shots are going to get spread anywhere? Do you think Jerry's going to take those? I don't think it comes to that. But she definitely has him in a vulnerable position. Roman sucks.

He's on tilt. His dad just died. He's still acting out, but man, you don't talk to Jerry like that. Jerry's low-key. They've always talked shit to each other like that. That's part of their dynamic is that they are like very – She's been down ass for so long. She put her foot down.

She's about to get paid. Yeah. She has a lot of shit on them. Mattson, Cousin Greg. Love the idea of it. I don't love Mattson, but I like the idea of Cousin't love mattson but i like the idea of cousin greg firing people for mattson dude this is how uh timely is the zoom firing like i mean like every other week we get stories of like mass layoffs over zoom and some clueless you just make greg do it see so sorry

doing it yeah some bumbling sweet c-suite person does it oh man um possibly my favorite scene tom and okay so shiv and tom was the best scene but a close second was kendall versus madsen um when they had that because it was so awkward kendall's delivery is so awkward you're wondering what what he's about to say how hard he's about to go into this, how hard he's about to expose. Because there's still a lot of people at the party, a lot of influential people, as we know. So him pointing out that like, oh, yeah, your numbers in India

are a little bit inflated, a lot of bit inflated, actually. That's a big deal. Yeah. And the fact that, is it Eb ebba yeah yeah that she's sitting right there and madsen knows that she's the one who told him it's just it's tense man it's so tense good really good i knew something was gonna happen because madsen's a piece of shit you see how he treats people and talks to people. He sucks. I think I liked him at first, and I do like his character, but he sucks.

I think now we're going to see the siblings maybe link up in theory, but you've got Kendall pulling Frank aside and them being like, hey, we need to tank the deal. We need to buy Gojo. There's only one crown. So it's just, it's great. That crown line was hard. It was hard.

One head, one crown. Kendall's still got some bars. It may take him a while to get there, but he can deliver. He's still my GOAT, dude. He's my favorite character in like everything. Yeah. dude he's he's my favorite character in like everything yeah i don't look love uh shiv still feeding him inside information that's gonna bite her in the ass i think she i think she's realized she backed the wrong horse like really she put a she put a bet down on uh

there we go two fills two fills as well to win he didn't i didn't i didn't put bet down on, there we go. Two fills? Two fills as well. To win? You didn't? I didn't put one down on two fills, though. I did hit show. Hit show. That's a good name. Good looking horse, too.

Well, I drew it out of a hat. At the end of the red carpet, they had two girls there, and they had a hat with all the horses' names in it. And then on camera, you got to pick one out, and I got hit show, and I was like, well like well okay those gray horses are so good looking yeah my ex-girlfriend's mom told me to never bet on a gray horse and for some reason it's always stuck with me but i don't know why i was listening to her she doesn't know anything about horse racing yeah what the fuck fucking ohio fucks that listening to her yeah i don't know uh underrated possibly properly rated uh the tier two storyline of connor

yeah and uh the pending election and they like back and forth on him trying to get a dope ambassadorship he had well a kick on oman dude like she like he can't make her do that he's so thirsty for validation the way he dismissed uh slovenia and slovakia no he doesn't want he slows dude i get it granted i only knows I only know about Slovenia because of number 77. He wants a country with nukes, man. Slovenia is a beautiful country. No, I thought all of his requirements were fair. I did think he slighted Slovenia a little bit,

but I still think that he had some fair requests. He wanted some power. If you're going to back out of a presidential race in order to make one guy win, you need a power a power country i'm not saying you get like england or something like that he wanted north korea he would have taken north korea oh yeah north korea he's he's such a diplomatic plate different diplomatic plates babe he's such a loose kid you can go anywhere you can hit someone with your car you party you can drive on the sidewalk it's actually it's not a selling point oh Oh, that was a good one.

Yeah. Didn't – again, with Roman, the way he talked to his brother, it's just like – that was really weird, man. Yeah, but I mean he's been having that kind of pent up for a while to be like, get the fuck out of this election. You're kind of making all of us look a little bad. Yeah, Roman's got to tighten it up. Rupert Murdoch would never let one of his kids run for president. No. He wouldn't.

That's just not how it would work. So that almost is inaccurate to me within the show's accuracy. He just lets them run ruckus records. Ruckus records. Ruckus. I can't believe Dylan doubted that I didn't know about ruckus records, dude. I didn't know about it. Tom was so tired in that episode.

He crushed it i think every single character at this point besides well okay actually we know kendall's had an episode i thought where he was like stand out uh i thought the living plus episode kendall like what that was that was his best episode of the season uh romans was right around the time that the dad died i thought he crushed that when he like told matson like dude our dad just died you made us come yeah i thought that was his coming out party tom and shiv they had theirs last night yeah and i love i love that this was tom's episode tom crushed this episode i got another tom and shiv question how far along is shiv it hard to say i think all of this um all these episodes are really back to back to back to back

in terms of the actual timeline of it just because they haven't even had his funeral yet so this is all this is all very quick i'm just i'm wondering like uh at some point tom might notice or have questions they're not i don't think they're even close to that point yet i i'll look into this but again it hard to say say that last part again like how how like how how far along do we think shiv is like do we think that she's she's got to tell tom man well dude i don't think last night was the opportunity we first learned that shiv is 20 weeks into her pregnancy okay so that's what i'm surprised wow yes i was expecting her to blurt it out during that fight.

I was too. I'm fucking pregnant. Running inside or something, you know? No, if you know anything about the Roy kids, they internalize everything until they can't anymore. Facts. That's facts, yeah. Did you have any worries about Tom jumping off of their balcony?

No. No. Not really, no. That would have been a twist I wouldn't have seen coming. I mean, it wouldn't have made sense, but I was just like, uh-oh. No, we've had one big death this season. I don't think we're going to get another one.

Do you think we'll have any deaths? Who's going to succeed? It'll be Kendall, right? Sneaky Jerry. Jerry's not a terrible pick. Jerry works her way to the throne. Kendall is the choice for me because he's just like the underlying main character

of the entire show. It needs to be Kendall. It needs to be Kendall. Anything else and I'm going to be unsatisfied. If you could have a prequel of any of the characters in the show, who would you choose? Oh. Probably Logan.

Yeah. Yeah. It's Logan. But man but man that's gonna be tough casting i saw i saw a tweet one time saying like if you if you took logan's origin story from like growing didn't he grow up in scotland based on those episodes when they went over there yeah like if you took if you if you did that and like did that all that it could be really really interesting and i and i kind of agree there's not a spinoff that i wouldn't watch i think the other people are too young for a spin-off because you'd have to have like a younger looking version of them which would i'd be annoyed that we didn't have jeremy strong the entire time i would watch a jerry or a carl or a frank spin-off now that i thought about it now that we've talked about tailgate party now i can't figure i want to know where all these people

went to college i want to know where the Roy kids spent their 18 to 22 years. I'm going to guess Ivy. It's a wild guess, I know. That's crazy. Dude, you're loco for this. I'm crazy. They hate this. They hate this.

You guys want some wheels breaking news? Yeah, what you got? We had two stories, but we're running relatively short on time today, so I figured I'd just combine them into what they deserve to be. Much more bite-sized stories. No pun intended. Do you guys want to start with pasta, or do you guys want to start with a worst weekend story? Ooh, let's do pasta.

Okay. Okay. We've all heard about lunchflation. Well, yeah. What else is going on? Oh, mamma mia, Dylan. Italy calls a crisis meeting over surging pasta prices. Are you aware of this?

It's not good. It's not good. Why is pasta going up? Italy's industry minister, Adolfo Urso, called on Thursday for a crisis meeting over prices for pasta, the country's favorite staple, after they jumped more than double the national inflation rate. Are you guys ready for how much of a price increase pasta rose year over year?

17.5% in March. What? Pasta inflation, man. Yep. Yep. Something to think about. Is this due to fertilizer from Russia? Yes.

I've only read the first two paragraphs dave okay i hope we could just do some it's a really culturally sensitive mamma mia jokes and stuff you know i haven't noticed this at restaurants in austin but i think based on the prices that i saw at restaurants in louisville kentucky um austin is operating at a different level than a lot of other american cities at this point we're like new york pricing at this point really yeah we had lunch there and when we all sat down and looked at the menu we were like damn i wish this was like like it was at home just felt free yeah it was like oh beers here are four dollars instead of like seven dollars wow a twelve dollar sandwich instead of a twenty one dollars uh correct dylan yeah yeah um when when we go over the charges on

our account from this trip, I think you're going to be surprised by how small these charges actually were. Yeah, Brett was kind of saying something similar. He said, yeah, we barely spent any money. So thank you for that. Dylan. That's great. Dylan, would you like to hear anything about a worst weekend story

of a woman who had to survive five days alone? Yeah. had to survive five days alone um yeah an australian woman was stranded for five days in the australian bush you ever been to the australian bush um no comment no i haven't sorry i haven't ever been to australia um a 48 year old woman uh survived five days stranded in the bush in australia by eating sweets and drinking only a single bottle of wine. She low-key went goblin mode there. Ooh. Lillian Ip set off what was meant to be a short trip on Sunday,

traveling through a dense bush in Victoria State, but she hit a dead end after taking a wrong turn and her vehicle became stuck in the mud. Miss Ip, who doesn't drink, only had a bottle of wine in the car as she was planning to give it as a present. After five nights stranded, she was discovered by emergency services on Friday as they flew overhead as part of a search. Did she stay back at the car as you try to backtrack and walk back? I don't know.

Civilization. It says that she used great common sense to stay with her car and not wander off into the bushland. I think that makes sense. At least, yeah, when you're in Australia, you don't want to sleep outdoors if you can help it. So sleeping in the car is probably the right move there. She had an incredible quote when she was found. An incredible quote. Was she gone off that red?

I don't think the one bottle of wine lasted for five days for a complete buzz of that sort. I would have had it all in one day but when she was finally found uh she said quote the first thing coming in my mind i was thinking water and a cigarette that's fine and then she said thank god the police woman had a cigarette that's right i like that she was just i need to burn right now how many how many cigs did she burn through yeah waiting how about that cop just low-key keeping a pack on her? Swag. Swag. I like that. Yeah, Brett and I might have... Did y'all burn? Might have had one. Darts? Might have had one.

That sounds awesome. We had one. The opportunity presented itself and we thought, you know what? Let's do it. And I can say, tastes like shit. Did you guys swing through the Louisville Slugger factory there? No, no. We were close to it. We were very close to it. That's cool. We got to see the Louisville Slugger factory there? No, no. We were close to it. We were very close to it.

That's cool. We got to see the Louisville Bats Stadium. Okay. That's a good name for a Louisville team. Pretty smart. Pretty smart. Do people there say Louisville? Louisville.

Louisville? The way that I was always told to do it was Lou-ville. Louisville. Okay. Act like there's not even an I there. Louisville. Low energy is lowest energy is best. Kind of like there's not even an I there. Lou-val. Lou-val. Lowest energy is best.

Kind of like you have peanut butter in your mouth. Lou-val. Lou-val. Lou-val. Sick, dude. Can you say Coca-Cola without letting your lips touch? Coca-Cola? No, do it without trying to let your lips not touch.

What? Do it again. Just not do it without even thinking about it. Coca-Cola? Yeah, your lips don't even touch doing it anyway. Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola. Coca-Colaola why is that a thing i don't know okay should we get out of here yeah crazy bye you
