Ranchos Hey, we're back. Did you hit the thing? Yeah. We couldn't hear it. We can't hear anything. You guys can't hear anything? Nah, son.

But we're live. Circling Back podcast, Thursday morning. Final show of the week, unless you're a patron. God damn it. That's because Brett turned down the speakers. Yeah, we're good. Yeah, I was doing this to you. I was giving you a little hug in here.

I'll sit in you with the... All right, I promise we're back. I have the headphones on so I can hear everything. And Brett comes in here and it fucks with my studio. What did Brett record? Malin. When? Without you?

Well, I'm Dave. Check me out. That's producer Randall Trimbecky. Hello, David. I'm ready for the weekend, as you can tell. It's not producer week. It's Brett. It's busy.

Messing with myself. studio week. You didn't go through your entire checklist. That's the problem. You skip step, step 18. That's technically not a step. One of my steps isn't to make sure the speakers are working for you guys.

I guess I could add that as my step. I think you should add it as your step. Yeah. No, it's okay. We'll get through it. Dylan shivery. Hey, looking good, man. Hey,

you don't look so bad yourself. I'm in this weird place where like, I'm not hungry yet. I had a decent-sized breakfast. What was the breakfast? I had four eggs. Okay. Just four eggs.

That's it? That's it. Oh. And that was at about nine, like right before I left for work. I'm not like, I'm going to get hungry during the episode. I'm going to be fine. I want to pull through. Just know that it's coming.

All right? I should have had a little snack. Man, if I only had a bunch of snacks out there. I know. Although somebody got back in town and ate all the David bars. not name and names. Do we need to put, like, limitations on his snack intake? I have a theory that there's some people in this office that might take them home,

but I can't prove it. And now everyone's a suspect. I would never do that. Except for Randall, because I don't think he eats them. Office snacks are for office eating. I even told them before you came in, because I tried David Barr, and they're actually pretty good. And there was the last one there. I'm like, I can't take this one.

Or David's going to complain about that all the bars I got on. That did happen yesterday. And I said, I gave him the green light. I said, Randy, it's okay. You can have a Dave Bar. I said, I don't complain. I don't really, I just, I just make note when they go in like two days. I'm like, how?

I said, Brett's probably already had two. And he goes, no, I've only had one. If there's people, you can't, you shouldn't be able to have two in a day. That's, that's egregious. I try to make that rule a long time ago. Like, I just, I just floated it out and it, no one said anything. So like, okay. I don't think anyone's doing two in a day.

I think you're wrong. You think it's, I think you know who it is. That's crazy. Yeah. 200 days a lot. Considering I buy a box of 12, they're a little pricey. It's a Costco play. Let me hear that Maddle Ranchers.

I can't get going until I hear it. Maddo Ranchos. Mattel Ranchos. Now I feel like we've started the show. We need a little Sam Taylor in the ears before we get a little bit of fruit or maybe like a slice of sourdough. Four eggs like... I've been doing sourdough lately. Sourdough.

We're straight up sourdough fam. All my kids aren't, but I am. I'd like to learn to make it. I'd like it if somebody in my household made it, but we're not there yet. We're still buying it from the store. We're still buying the Easy Tiger stuff, which is pretty good. That's what we buy. There's an Instagram account called Inside Texas, and I think they're an On Three, like the Texas On Three website.

Yeah. They posted a picture of Arch Manning from the Manning Passing Academy, and it's clearly AI. He even, like, said, this is funny, this is AI. I have small arms, whatever. And they posted and said, Arch Manning looks jacked. Manning was pictured at the Manning Passing Academy looking more muscular than in years past. We need to do better. We need to do better as a society, as a society identifying AI pictures and not trying to pass them off.

I believe he's 22. Yeah, he's going to continue to get more muscular. Like from the moment, you know, he's, I would be, it would be weird if he didn't add muscle from the time he signed at Texas. Like, that's what, that's what happens when a kid joins a program at 18. He's definitely added muscle. But this is clearly not a real image. And we just need to do better. I don't know.

You can't do that. Bussing with the boys. Do you know the? Yeah, I know what they are. They posted this first. They didn't vet it? They chat, GBTed it. It said make him look more muscular.

And Arch responded, he goes, ha ha, this is AI, whatever. That's how I know for a fact. Oh, so wait, did On 3 or whatever this, what's the outlet called Texas? Inside Texas. They didn't make this themselves? No. Oh, they got fooled. They got fooled.

That's what I'm saying. We got to do better. Okay, I thought maybe it's more egregious and they made it themselves. And we're like, bro, he's looking fucking dick, dead. Yeah, that's a tough look. It's not good. It's not good at all. It's not good at all.

You're worried about your quarterback getting John matured. Brady Quinn comes to mind. Remember when Brady Quinn just decided to just stack on a whole lot of mass? And it was like, oh, this dude's about to take. He was still the same quarterback, you know? And then went on, I think right before the, before the draft, he just, he looked super jacked. And I think it inflated his draft stock a bit. And then he was just not a good quarterback in the NFL.

I don't remember that. but that's interesting because that was what 15 years ago it was a long time ago yeah yeah that was back browns who drafted him dog good good question brown soon to draft arch as we know among other quarterbacks um i think i think if the browns get the number one overall pick and let's assume arch has a good season and he's he's primed to be the number one overall pick which some people are guessing he will be i could see them pulling an eli or because his NIL situation is so strong at Texas, he might stick around. Yeah.

You don't want to go to Cleveland. No offense to the Browns fans. But it's where quarterbacks go to die. You're saying LeBron's going back. I think he should. It'll be his third time there. Yeah, I don't. I think it would be poetic to retire in Cleveland.

For sure. Yeah. Yeah, I know. You just don't really want, well, you say you don't want him to go outside. I don't really care. But, I mean, he went out first round as a Laker. last year. That's like, are they going to, I don't know.

Cleveland was competitive. They almost, I mean, they were, they looked really, really bad in their game seven. I believe it was a game seven. But who, who, what's that roster look like, Donovan Mitchell, James Harden coming back. I don't know. Got that dude from Texas, we got his name. Jared Allen? Yep.

Good player. Yep. Kind of a forgotten Longhorn, actually, in my opinion. Yeah. It's kind of like one of those years because they didn't do much. No. But he was a good player. player in college.

The shock of smart era. Oh, where's he at now? I don't remember where he is, but I know he's had kind of a reassurgents, if you will. Reassurgents as a head coach. Okay. Hey, you can subscribe to our newsletter. Maybe Dylan will do some blogging about, I don't know, do some of that college football blogging. People tend to like that.

Should I do college football? Wash.substack.com. It'll be in your inbox tomorrow, Friday. Friday morning. We usually send it out like, I don't know, depending on who posts it maybe 4.30 a.m. Central, maybe 5.30 a.m. Central. Maybe we throw in like a weird time. I don't know. But that's what we do. It'll be there in the morning for you. And our Patreon, as mentioned earlier, listener voicemails have been recorded. The Haasline has been checked. That'll be in your inbox, in your Patreon box, whatever that is. Tomorrow morning as well. It was a good one. It was a really good one. It was a fun one. If you haven't listened to Roommate Week, you should go check it out. You should definitely go check it out.

It's a good one. It was a fun one. We do a theme, the final Tuesday of each month, we do a theme week. And this week's theme, this month's theme, I guess, was Roommate Week. A lot of disturbing, nothing completely crazy. Nobody like, nobody getting hurt necessarily, but a lot of just behavior that you just... Odd behavior. Very bizarre.

Very bizarre. Almost like showing up to work and seeing that your co-host has the same shirt on. It's not like that at all. No one's fault. Pancho outdoors. This is the big bear. This is the brown bear, I believe it's called. I looked it up. Okay. The shirt that I'm wearing and the one that Dylan's wearing. Dillon's got sleeves on. I don't. It's one of the original shirts. I've had this thing for years now and I love it. Same. They make performance shirts for guys who actually go outside. It's become the go-to for all seasons, probably the best.

best shirt I've ever worn. I say this all the time, but it's true. This is one I wear. I go home and I just hang it back up because I rarely, I rarely get home and think it's dirty. I think it needs to be washed. And I saw it today just kind of hanging on the mirror. And I was like, well, we got a poncho. I read, so I may as well wear it. And look who had the same idea. Did Chee Chee remind you? I reminded myself, I was a big boy this morning. Not only do they have performance shirts like this. They've got great hats, great graphic teas. They've got a denim. the western denim. It's a pearl snap that is like a lighter wash denim that we really like. I think we both have that one as well. Check them out. They fit really well. They've got a regular,

a slim, or a tall, short sleeve or a long sleeve, size small, all the way through triple XL. The fits dialed in. Feels like butter. Perfect little stretch to it. And again, it's just a comfortable shirt. We love poncho. Get up for summer with poncho. Go to poncho outdoors.com slash Steam. Enter your email and get $10 off and free shipping on your first order.

World Cup. We're one in those since Will the Freez graced our little table here with this Team USA scarf. Yes. Took on Bosnia and Herzegovina. last night. Give us the geopolitical breakdown of what happened there. I don't want to. I don't know enough about it, but I know that a tough situation for a lot of folks over there.

How many group chats were being like, dude, could we appeal this last night? How many? I was, I said that. Ours, yeah. I mean, that was kind of the main conversation. And everybody looked it up. Will said there is some precedent, though. He says that, I think,

Ronaldo won an appeal of sorts at some point. I looked it up last night, and based on my overview, the standard is some kind of like, it's a very tough standard, and it doesn't really, really leave any room for, like, a subjective interpretation. Basically, it leaves a lot of discretion to the referee who called it, and it's more, my initial thought, or my reading was, like, they only to overturn a red card on appeal, if it was like they gave it to the wrong player or something like that, not based on what they saw. Did it seem to you like the video review was super quick? He went to the screen, 30 seconds later walks away, holds up the red card.

It seemed quick, but then I realized, like, I don't watch enough footy to, like, know what's quick and what's not. Right. But it did for a red card where the guy's gone for a game and a half, maybe more. Or sometimes in football, they spend a lot of time. It seemed quick. Okay. I was upset. I've never been this passionate about anything soccer related in my life.

I didn't quite understand how, I mean, obviously the guy, he stepped on the guy's foot, turned his ankle, and it, you know, slightly injured him. I get it. It was clearly not intentional. No. Like, very clearly not intentional. By the way, a catastrophic accident was a void. Like, did you not see, I mean, you saw the guy's ankle rolled? Like, that's the kind of like thing, like accident, clearly an accident, that you're like, dude, how did that guy's ankle not like snap?

All that dude's weight. To miss the entire next game. Mm-hmm. And this, he's our best player for sure, right? Best goal scorer, at least. He has been, I believe, the best player. People are like, well, we've got politic. Why is he not best player?

Well, this dude's just as awesome. TNSA is not super, they've got like seven or eight dudes who are all really good. And this guy's really, really good. I was talking to DeFrizy before this. And I was like, is this guy? Who is this guy? Is he like an English Premier League stud? He goes, he's on the, like he's an up and coming talent.

Like he hasn't yet established himself. He says that this World Cup has gone a long way in doing so. So he's going to be like a guy, right? And we got him. So, so exciting. You know how we got him, right? Yeah. birthright citizenship.

Yeah. His mom was visiting from Britain. Britain. Britain. And she was pregnant and was not allowed to get back on the plane to travel home because she was too far into her term. That's how I understand it. And so she gave birth here, thus giving him citizenship.

Mm-hmm. Is that right? Yeah, I think so. Okay. Yeah. It's a great origin story. It is. Like this referee has too much power.

I don't know. This is like my first time paying attention to a situation like this and I'm upset. We're also all soccer casuals. Red card is such a strict punishment too. Not only a game and a half missing, for the whole rest of the game, we're down a player. That's like a power play for the whole rest of the game. That's insane. Yeah.

You're right. you're kind of you're what because there's so many many more you know there's double roughly like the amount of people on the field as like a hockey game so you think of like a power playing hockey where it's like I know it's not a great comp but like imagine like the last five minutes or 10 minutes of a game you're just like in your own zone just getting bombarded I know and like the last we had 10 minutes of stoppage time and to me I told will it's like I wasn't worried but it seems like people I follow a lot of casuals, a lot of ball knowers, they were worried. And like there was going to be this onslaught. And luckily, like, there was, there was some, some close calls. But like,

yeah, that's a long time, by the way, to have, you know, be a man down. And you're also kind of like wondering, like, are we going to get any, are we going to get the ball back in their zone at all? Like, we're not going to see any more goals, aren't we? Happened pretty quick, didn't it? It did. It did. Then we scored two goals, one, of course, called back. for a offside. But like, so I guess the, the ends are like, justified the means. I don't think that's correct there. But like, we clearly didn't struggle as much as we thought we were going to.

But it's like thinking football, like targeting. And then it's like, all right, for the rest of the game, like you guys are down a player on offense or defense. Hey, really stupid question, by the way. That's why we're here. I'm going to be, I feel embarrassed to even ask it. The next game, because Balagan is out, we can, we can swap. We can put someone else in his place.

Yeah, we're not playing with 10. That would be the worst. I'm a soccer casual, guys. I'm learning on the fly here. I don't know who takes his place. People were like, look, we can still beat Belgium without him. But it would be nice to have. It'd be nice to have it.

Fucking hey, man. Yeah, I just here. I got pissed, man. I was pissed. His fucking ref. You were pissed off in the group chat. He was fucking ref. Yeah.

That was sick scenes. That was very sick. If you paid $2,500 bucks to go to that game last night, you got your money's worth. Polisic still has some juice, by the way. Yeah. Yeah.

I know he's missed some time recently. I think he had a calf a couple weeks ago. Yeah. He was still buzzing. Like he had that goal to go, one of the goals that got called back. He's been like our guy for, I feel like, the last 15 years, you know?

Not that long. Really? Yeah. Okay. How old is Polisic? He was definitely our guy at last World Cup. I think Len Donovan was two World Cups, though, right? He's only 27.

Oh, I'm way off then. Yeah. No, he's still, he's good. He seems to be 100%. I don't, they were talking, the announcers were talking about maybe subbing him out for somebody with, you know, fresher legs who might be more of a defensive posture, defensive player. I don't, I don't really know the merits of that.

I don't know. All I know is I am such a I'm going to say it like they say it, Pochitino guy. Everything inside me wants to say Pocateno. But Pocetino, I'm gonna call him, I'm a call him coach. I fucking love looking over to the sideline

and seeing that dude. Seen the lettuce? Lettuce is there, the shirt. Is it a shacket? Is it not a shacket? We don't know. Is it a fishing shirt? Shout out Bunky.

All right, we got Belgium Monday, July 6th. seven o'clock. Yes, that's right. I did enjoy the Bosnian coach picking up the ball and play for a raft. It was like the ultimate like the manager coming out and doing dust. Kick and dirt. Yeah, just throwing a fit on the sideline.

Yeah. Picking up the Rosenbag, lobbing it like a grenade like that one dude. Yeah, what the hell? So our coaches, we've got, we've got way, we have out oared everybody with our coach. He's Argentinian. He's just, I didn't know much about him. Will gave me a little rundown this morning. Maricio, I fucking love watching a belt-out country roads after the game.

He probably moves on to bigger and better things. Great. I want him to stay here full-time in the States. I want him to coach Austin FC or whatever our team is. I just want him here. I want him to be a part of this. He's beloved. He's already beloved no matter what happens next game.

He's never going to have to buy a pint in these here. I'll tell you that. I mean, they've already kind of exceeded expectations, yeah? People had high expectations for them this year. If they had lost that game last night, it would have been a total Dolphins fan draft night.gift. Okay. So this is probably like the threshold that makes it like a...

You are good enough to make the round of 16. Like you're good enough to make... I really think, like, especially with the pool that they were in. had they not made out of pool play, it would have been a total bust. With the draw they got and the path they've got, like they should, okay, the red card throws a big wrench into this. I think they should beat Belgium, like fully, fully healthy, their whole squad. These things happen, you have to play with that your best players from time to time.

They should still beat Belgium, I think. They lose, no one's going to be like, dude, what a bust. But you're hosting. I'm still holding out a little hope for the successful appeal process a little bit. The Twitter joke last night was we got to get that judge out of Lubbock. Yeah. I don't think he has jurisdiction over FIFA. Yeah.

But he somehow has jurisdiction over the NCAA. Weirdly. Sure. So you could? Who knows? A lot of, you know, Twitter was fun last night. It was great. I had a chance to go watch it at a bar last night.

I said, I'm going to stay home. I'm glad I did I mean to the rest But it was Who gave you that invite? A friend's birthday Okay Amanda

Ah Got any more brain busters No I was just wondering who invited you But not me Yeah it was Amanda She's not invite you to her birthday That's fine Happy birthday Amanda

Uh Fuck man Just scenes I don't want it to end It's gonna suck when I'm still gonna watch After it ends too If it ends

If If I'll be dialed in Now, today, man, I get into the office, I say, what's on the slate? Yeah, I've got access to a computer. I could go look it up. But I want the boys to mix it up. It's been fun having it on here in the background.

Yeah, I'm going to be sad. I'm sad I didn't get to go to a game. But, you know, it's been good. I will follow international footy more closely going forward. So you got anything on Pocateno? Poachetino. Poach, as they're calling him. Big fan.

Okay. This has been fun. Is it a shacket or not? This is easily the most fun. I didn't get a good look at it. I'm throwing that out there for you. You're the shacket guy. Let me look at up.

He pretty much wears the same thing every time. It's he kind of has a Michael Myers look. Let's see. He just looks like a D1 chiller. He just does. He does have swag, dog. I don't really, I don't know. I can't find the look from last night.

Anyway, I'm a big fan. This is the most fun. I've had watching soccer ever. It's been really exciting. Most people have had that, I bet most people watching it because I, when else has been this fun, huh? When else? Yeah, there it is.

Okay. Can you zoom in, Randy? Yeah, don't even ask me. Are you kidding me? Yeah, I can do that. He's got a PK unzip it. There it is. Can we get this guy a poncho?

Yeah, we can call it a shacket. Why not? Sure. Get him some Ticova's to pair with it on the sideline. Oh, that would be too much. Ticova's craft quality Western boots for everyone, from generational ranchers to national team coaches to lifelong cowboys, the first-time boot buyers.

What's going on at MSG?

What's going on at the garden? Is this about Taylor Swift? It's about Taylor Swift. I didn't know she's, that they were getting married there until I think yesterday and you guys were talking about it. It is a bit interesting. Like Alyssa, who's a, my wife is a Swifty. And I consider myself a casual Swifty. I've seen her in concert and really enjoyed it.

You got TMZ reporting that she's building a huge castle and a garden inside MSG for the wedding. Everything is trending towards this being the place they're doing it, which fine. Get married where you want. But like my wife is saying like this could be like a smokescreen. It could be like bait the media and then go get married somewhere else. Okay. Well, why MSG? What's the?

She's a big New York fan. She loves New York. She does love New York. She's not a New York City native. But she's moved there. She's a Knicks fan. She's proven herself to not be a casual. If you go back, she's been a Knicks fan for a while.

She was there when they won the championships. She was there for that run sitting in Howard next to Howard Lutnik, his seats. He was there last night, by the way. That's your favorite cabinet member, right? Howard Lutnik. He was there. Nutlick. Yeah, Nutlick, dude, you got his ass

Oh shit, dude No recovering Um I just don't I'm not I'm not one to tell somebody where and how to get married You thought they'd go to like A castle, a real castle

Or yeah, like Como Something I feel like Como's played out for For celebs at this point What? Como? No Only casuals go to Como I said for celebs

Not for casuals Can't catch me there. I'm too elite. You're too elite. I feel like Taylor Swift would be every, I mean, how many people have gotten married in Como now? Italy even, just Italy. Kanye and Kim got married at the Medici, the Medici castle in Florence. I feel like they would do, I don't know, some crazy palace, real palace and not build one inside MSG.

Are the seats cleared out? You don't know the answer to that, but I mean, let's speculate here. The seats inside MSG, there's a reason for them to be, you know, there, right? I don't know how it works. Otherwise, you have very little real estate with which to work, you know? How easy is it to get the seats out of it? I don't know. You know the old, like, high school style where you could, like, push them in, they roll out.

Yeah. They're like collapsible seats. I don't think MSG has seats like that. The Knicks owner famously has that place rigged up with all sorts of eavesdropping equipment. That story was big around the time of them. Nick's playoff run. So I don't know how easy it is to get stuff in and out of there. It's just weird.

It is. I mean, like, okay, if you told me, like, back to Como and Italy in general or English country, saw it, whatever, that would make sense. That would be what I thought, like, because she has that, like, vibe. I'm going to go get married at some. Or Nashville. Historic place. Oh, Nashville's chuggy. Does she live there?

I thought she lived in New York City. I don't know. I don't know where she lived. I thought she lived in Nashville. She was just a Knicks fan and traveled to games. Well, let's find out. Talk amongst yourselves. I'm just wondering, like, she has enough money.

Can they just unscrew all the seats and then just put them there? They can do whatever they want. They can do a small demolition and then build it back. That's how they remove seats. they get a drill out and just... Yeah. Yeah. All just drills.

Higher, yeah, get the, get a team in there. I think, I think those things are on massive rollers that they can just manipulate. Oh, so I don't know. And I... She's got a place in Nashville, Rhode Island, New York City, California. Okay. She's got a lot of places. I don't know.

I'm not one that, again, last thing I need is, um, Swift Nation to come after me for wondering if, if getting married in an arena like that is a little... It's just not. It's just not an exciting place to get married. I'm sure they're going to make it look real, real nice. Oh, it'll look dope. Don't get me wrong. But you're still like, you're in a, I mean, you're in a basketball arena at the end of the day.

It's just weird. Like dudes were drawing charges there like three weeks ago. Not exactly picturesque. Yeah. That's right. There's probably still confetti on the floor in there. Now it ended in San Antonio. Still.

Still, though. Yeah. All right. Well. Okay Just trying to look at some images here to see Okay I don't know if it was a real account

It was like NBA Central Dunk Central 2.2 million followers Jalen Brunson and the next starting lineup have reportedly been invited to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey's wedding Come on So yeah I assume

I mean that's dope I mean to be dope if they were at my wedding So that Rick Rubin is moving his White Party Oh, really? Because it was the same weekend. Is it because he weirds everybody out? Maybe just me and... And he's like, oh, I don't want my guests

to have to choose between my party and Taylor Swift's wedding. Sure, dude. No one's picking your party anyway. You're not skipping the wedding. I don't know. Come on. If you had an invitation to both of those events,

which one are you going to? Dude, you can network. You can network working at the white party. You can't do that at the Taylor Swift. wedding? Come on. I feel like... That's like... The clientele there is just as strong.

There will be more athletes there, ex-athletes and athletes that I would want to rub shoulders with than artists and musicians. Right. You give the athletes from the Kelsey side of it. Patrick Mahomes, Brittany Mahomes will be there. Your favorite? I don't know if I want to... Jackson...

Jackson... Jackson... Jackson ain't going. No, he's not going to, but, you know, He's got a job. I think he's doing commercial real estate out there in Kansas City. He got them in there. He's doing TikToks we talk about.

No, his LinkedIn was going around the other day. He's got a job. Really? Yeah. That surprises me. Good for him. There's not that much money on TikTok anymore.

You could just be using TikTok for real estate. That's right. A lot of people do that. He's an influencer of sorts. There's a lot of money in TikTok real estate, D. Yeah, there is, man. but, you know, the way of the future is streamers, man. It's all about streaming now, man, kickstreams, all that.

What's going on with Chud the Builder guy, man? Not a good dude famously. No. No, that guy stinks. Yeah, not a good guy. What do you think about clavicular's nose? Man, I haven't seen much on him. What's he up to?

Oh, let me check the rankings. Because I haven't seen him, I bet he hasn't jumped. He might have jumped one spot. You know you got to check in on the chat rankings. Oh, God. Oh, no. This is not good, David. Keep going.

He's down to eight. He's dropped two. That's not great. ASU frat leader dropped four or dropped one. What happened to ASU frat leader? Dude, he's not been in the top for a while. Maybe that just means that someone jumped him. Not necessarily something happened.

What do we have to do to get you into the Chad world? Yeah. Like, do it as a bit, but like you need to get on this ranking. I think I'm twice the age. I know, but there's room for an old, like an unc Chad. Unch Chad. That could be you. That's my name.

Yeah, that's true. Dylan Latham is rising. Yeah, he's the, he's the crymaxer. Yeah. I think about him more than I should. I think about him at the gym when I'm, like, when I'm after, if I go sauna and I shower and I put clothes on and I'm still sweating, I think about that Dylan Latham kid and how like, like, my hair's still wet.

I'm like, oh, dude, I'm kind of just like, like, these aren't tears in my hair. It's just sweat, but like I'm low-key, like moisture maxing my hair. I haven't thought about Dylan Latham since we did the segment on him. We talked about him recently. We looked at the Chad rankings. Was Dylan gone? He was his top 10. Yeah, he's been a top.

Dude, he's a guy who's firmly in the top 10. He's a contender. My Algo misses him completely. He's a contender. Ever since his climaxing. That's probably for the best. It would be weird if he was still popping up in your Algo. Yeah.

Will any Chad's beat the Taylor Swift wedding? No. Probably not. Unfortunately. I still worry about Clive, man. Why are you so worried about clav in particular? You know, I just think he's emotionally fragile

and he's going to get bullied. It's true. I mean, his nose, people were bullying for a nose that it was too small. It didn't look great when I looked at it. He looks very weird.

Well, like he's like a day removed from the nose job. I feel like you have to give it some time. I'll give it some time. He might as have taken off like a few weeks. I know it's tough to do in the world of kick streaming.

Is that what they are? Their kick streamers? The kick streamers, yeah. Okay. I'm going to take the, I guess, the opposite opinion of everyone else

on this podcast. I think women should be able to do her what they want and get married where they want and I support Taylor Swift and anything she does. He's ally hunting. You're ally farming and it's transparent and it's almost like condescending towards women in general that you're farming so hard.

Look at Dave trying to back against the wall. I don't hate the Madison Square Garden. It's a very famous venue. I feel like my back is not against the wall. She's a big New York girl. She has two songs at least. I can think of Ralph Madd. Welcome to New York.

And then be my N. Y when Hollywood hates me. She loves New York. So if she wants to be married in like maybe the most famous new venue in the world, I think she should be able to, David. I don't think it's the most famous venue in the world. Name of the other one. Coliseum Rome.

Okay, that's not a venue anymore. It's not. Taylor Swift doesn't, are you saying that they wouldn't allow Taylor Swift to get married there? I don't think they would. Didn't somebody try to do something there recently in the last couple years? That sounds right. Was it a, was it a show, a concert?

Was it Kanye? Was it UFC, was it? Oh, it might have been. That would make sense. Wait, was there like a Conner fight? Did Connor fight Floyd and the Colise? No. That's stupid.

Come on. But a UFC does sound very familiar that they were trying to do a fight there. Even more, yeah. Coliseum was an old venue. You can't book it out right now. Still a venue. Try to think of a more famous venue. Everyone knows.

Selling out Madison Square Garden is a big deal. What's the, what's the, what's the big? amphitheater or the big theater in uh australia oh the the sydney one yeah the uh really famous that you guys can't think about it i think it's called sydney opera house but yeah that's pretty famous yeah that's more famous than msg i don't think it is you guys didn't even know its name he he got it dorn got it yeah you dumb of all people no offense i'm sorry i didn't mean that randy oh god not allowed to disagree with randy today i guess No, no, not true.

I would like to see it. Someone say what's more famous in Madison Square Garden venue? We're going to look at it up. What is the most famous? Oh, yeah. Let's see what Google AI has to say. Wembley Stadium, the Coliseum, of course. MSG is one of them.

It's just also a little chuggy. It's just kind of like, come on. Why not go do, what's the one? What's the stadium? The Rams plan? SoFi? Dude, SoFi, it's fucking sick.

It is sick. Go get married at SoFi. Go do Arrowhead. Arrowhead. While whilst not a domed stadium, it's got the history, man. Arrowhead's dope. That's on my list. I'd love to go there, not get married there.

I'm already married. We go renew our vows at Arrowhead. It doesn't do much for me. Really? It's fine. It's nice. They've got a great fandom, though. Like, watching the game there.

No, for sure, for sure. She really was bawls. know or she'd go get married with the cotton bowl that's what's all caught cotton bowl too yeah they ever try to move that game get you a corn dog on the way out get you a corn dog go ride the ferris wheel yeah it's a love story get you some deep fried butter yeah get you a fried oreo hoss get you some uh fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich which was gas by the way no surprise yeah it's not a shocker yeah fried they have fried coke how did you eat that do you did i didn't i didn't i didn't Then they just take the syrup and just, I don't know how they do.

They probably just mix it with batter and just pop it in. I don't know if I need fried Coke. I don't. Maybe fried Diet Coke. I'm not sure if there's anything worse you could put in the body. Is there anything dumber than getting fried Diet Coke or fried Coke? You're like, dude, can you fry the Diet Coke? I mean, I just, I draw the line.

I'm watching my sugar intake right now. All right, well, we'll monitor. Sydney Opera House. What did Trump say about Diet Coke? Did he say I've never seen a thin person drink Diet Coke? I think that was Charles Barkley who said. Is that Charles Barclay? That's funny, but not true.

Like, dude, so many people drink Diet Coke. I forgot who said that. I drink Diet Coke. John Daly's drinking like six a day. You know you can't drink that many. It's a lot. I've shut. My intake in the office is calm down a little bit.

There was a, it was getting to the point where I was doing four or five a week. Once I loaded them up here, I was like, I got to chill. I'm probably in three a week right now. It was a tweet from Donald Trump. I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke from October 14th, 2012. That's a good tweet. Unfortunately. Unfortunately, you do have to hand it to it.

We were talking about it, of course, I had a recording of the video. He posted Twitter today. He doesn't post Twitter very often anymore. He's mostly just living over there on truth social. So you know when he comes to Twitter, he's got something. He wants everybody to see. And it was an AI video of himself as a doctor. And his patients were giving testimonials about their Trump derangement syndrome.

And it was like Rosie O'Donnell, Julia Roberts, O'Pie Goldberg, Robert De Niro, who Ranny looks like. A little bit. It didn't get traction. It was just kind of funny. If I was an elite level hacker, I think I would hack into True Social and Blue Sky. and just mix it up so that their feeds were going on each other's stuff and just watch watch the internet burn for a second that'd be quite fun can i tell you something in 2014 the rome city council tried to offer the coliseum as a wedding venue former italian minister of culture dario francescini and cultural heritage officials quickly rejected the idea

they said the plan was bizarre and permanently banned the actual legally binding wedding inside the ancient monument i love that they're like do this is bizarre. That's a, we need more of that in public. There's not only a bad idea that we're not going to do. It's just weird.

Like, why would you even think of this? We need more of that. Okay. I knew there was something. That can't be what I was thinking of. I thought it was UFC. That sounds way too familiar. Is the chat know anything?

Chat. Whatever it was, it was just rumored to be happening and then shot down. They did. They had a $150 million fee to use a landmark. Okay.

Okay. Dude, this was going to be where Elon and Mark Zuckerberg fought. That was it. That was the rumor. Oh, okay. Okay. All right. Boy, what a insanely, what a stupid use of the Coliseum. That would have been. Zulc and Elon, which was never going to happen. That would have been a disgrace. We've seen Elon. We know what Elon looks like. That would have been a disgrace. He's not putting off the vibe. I mean, no. I would have watched. I mean, yeah, everybody would have watched, but like, it would have been the shittiest thing ever. Elon would have gotten destroyed. He could train for two years straight.

He'd get up all the training in the world. He's getting, he's getting worked by Zuck either way. No, he outweighs him by, what, 80 pounds? Let's say he slims up. He's going to have to slam up if he's training. Like, he's not, it's going to be terrible. No. God, I forgot. That was a, that was an ongoing subject on this show.

Was it this show or circling back or touching pace? I don't remember. Sheesh. Elon is 6-2 And Zuck's what 5-9? 5-8 1-85 to 200

Who's 185 to 200? Elon? Yeah. No way. He's got to be north of 200 right? He's got that big old chest. He's a large,

he's not in great shape. And Zuck is 5-7. Dude, Elon's 250. That dude's sloppy. He's tall, too. If Elon trained, we're talking what? 5-7 versus 6.

2. Okay. If I had told you that... Talking about 100 pounds difference. All right. In 2012, if I had told you that there would either be a UFC fight, there would either be a combat sports fight in the Coliseum or in the White House lawn. In addition to responding with Opa Gangham style, how would you have responded? Before knowing, this is before... This is in a pre- Trump's first term. Yeah. So you don't know...

You don't know what Trump's all about yet. They're still gangam style. Obama just... won the second term i would say that the colosseum fight would be more likely yeah yeah okay because it would make sense too gladiators and such that you could see like it's unbecoming of the of the of the historical landmark but like i could see how money you know they'd want to do it there gladiators whatever white house lawn actually is your winner sheesh this episode is sponsored by better help Have you checked out the 2026 State of Stigma report?

I haven't. Checked it out. We talked about it a little bit already. We talk about mental health more openly now, but asking for help can still feel hard and BetterHelp's latest research confirms it. Better Helps 2026 State of Stigma Report surveyed 2,000 Americans and revealed that 85% of Americans believe getting support is wise, yet 74% say society discourages people from doing so. That's a problem. shit. Yeah, we don't like that. Well, here's the deal. We know that there's that big gap between believing in mental health, excuse me, and actually seeking it.

I got to get my boy back in here. I don't want people to see that while we're doing the show and think. this is just like a UT Homer pod though. I would rather than think this is like a, this is like a, that feels neutral to you. Dave, you, do you hate Texas? A minute. You hate them. No, I hate U.T.

I want people to know. I don't want people to like, see it on a clip and be like, oh, well, I'm not going to give, if I'm a cactus, I'm a square toe. I'm in the mafia. And I see a clip. My, it's pretty funny. Oh, these are just a couple Texas fans. I see your point.

Now they might, you could say maybe they think that when we've got. got this, this Dion jersey, but this is an autograph. I guess the arch one is too. But this is Deon. He's a 49er, Falcon, cowboy. Let's get a, let's get a collection going. We'll rotate them in. And we'll rotate them.

It might be Arch one week. Might be prime the next. We got the Guinness out there. We can get Will DeFries to sign the Guinness jersey. Maybe we'll do a Will Hammond for Squirtos. Maybe we can get Pocitino to sign his fishing shirt or a shirt. or a shacket. We'll rotate them in if we have them.

But at some point, Arch has got to come back for a little bit. No, it's my dog. That's his dog, David. We just need to frame them. Maybe. And maybe not have them in the studio necessarily. Maybe I take it home. I would have no problem when you're taking the archer and home.

You just don't want it in here because you hate Texas like that's true. Yeah. No, I just don't, I just don't want it to be like, I want us to be, I want everyone to feel represented on this show. Dave is like... Everybody knows I'm a Pac-12 guy. Dave is like Dylan's dad, but instead of rooting for every team in Texas,

he roots for everyone except for University of Texas. I do love that. Oh, okay. Don't get me going on. I almost forgot about it. Now the football's coming back, I'm going to have to face it again. Who's he rocking with this year?

The teams that are in Texas, Dave. Okay, but who... He's got to narrow it down to one. I mean, he's Texas above... My dad's not a big college sports guy. Actually, you know what? He's not really a sports guy in general. He's a casual observer and he'll get excited if one of his team is doing well,

but he's not really emotionally invested in sports as a whole. But if he had, if I, like, got to his head, pick a college team. Like, it would be Texas. Okay. Yeah. What are his ties to Austin? He's lived in Austin for like 50, plus. years.

Outside of that, though. Yeah. He grew up in the Houston area, Galveston, Lamarck. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm a bit familiar. Yeah. And then he made his way to Austin.

He wasn't born here, but he got here as soon as he could. That's right. Okay. That's fine. I think there's a lot of people. There's a lot of casual college football fans will root for whatever.

That'll be like, oh, yeah, the Texas team will pull for them. You know. I guess he did grow up. Unless it's your blood rival, though. He did grow up closer to college station than he did Austin. But, come on, he's all this time in Texas or in Austin.

Yeah, so if you're new here, my dad, he will pool for any team that is in Texas. How is the squirrel situation? I'm going to see him Saturday, and I'll get a follow up on it, and I'll let you guys know. I'd love to know. Yeah. I'd love to know if the, because to be clear, to set the stage, Dylan's dad is a squirrel problem. Not an infestation, but there's a lot of squirrels in his yard. He doesn't want so many in there.

So he's humanely relocating them and maybe tagging them in a fashion. Yeah, he has acquired some white spray paint to mark their tails so he knows if the same ones are coming back. Why does he just get like a GPS collar? I don't know, Dave. Because he's a boomer and that's just like a lot of tech for him to figure out. Okay. Okay. You know?

Spray paint. is very boomer friendly. It is. It is. That is really funny. I really, the best case scenario is he finds out a squirrel that he dropped off, like, in two towns over, somehow made its way back. Yeah. They just love his yard so much.

I don't even think a squirrel, I don't think a squirrel could survive traveling half a mile. I don't think squirrels are smart enough to not get either smoke. by like a hawk or a vehicle or a fox or whatever else a number of predators a cat do they have the instinct to make the way back to an origin point that that would be my my up to i bet up to a point like dogs like a dog dog yeah no dogs got that i bet dogs have a much better sense of smell than a squirrel yeah i don't know ma'am you might find one uh i don't know squirrel that's hops in the right truck the bed of a truck and you know god when he started singing goodbye to texas university and right in my face when texas was down to that guy i forgot who they ever been playing man he's just pushing your

buttons i was like dude we're not doing this i shut it down real fast i wish cha chae would have been recording that i'm gonna have cha chae record next time you all watch a game together dude i i have do you pace are you a pacer no i just get real quiet are you hands and face guy What's your like? It's fourth and two. Texas has got the ball at the 50. You know, there's 42 seconds left. I sit on the couch like this.

Okay. Edge of the couch, hands together. I'm a surrender cobra guy. I'm hands through my thinning hair. Are you? Yeah. It's just edging when it comes to fucking UT football. I have some stuff about squirrels if you want.

Give us some squirrel takes. Here's some squirrel stuff. It says to ensure squirrel does not return wildlife experts recommend relocating it at least five to ten miles away. Oh. That's about how like the magnetic fields and stuff they can find their way. But however,

this practice is highly discouraged as relocating squirrels often struggle to adapt, face territorial attacks from other wildlife, and have a very low survival rates. So your dad just might be like it. That checks out. Throw them away. What?

Yeah. You can't put them in a different outdoor environment and they can. No, they're going to have to compete with other squirrels who aren't going to like. They're territorial and shit? Oh, yeah. They're all,

They're all chasing the same nut. My dad was only taking him about two miles away. Oh, then they can come back. Five to ten's crazy. I think I'm going to get him an owl for his birthday. Fake owl? Yeah. Yeah.

You didn't even have to be a big one. Just put it on the fence. A little guy. Yeah. Kind of tight. Can you give him a real one? What if you got him a real one? And he's got to take care of an owl, and I just don't see that going well.

It'll take care of itself. Yeah. It's eating the squirrels. Oh, like one that lives outdoor. Yeah. Yeah, not a cage. Not an inside. Will it come back?

Is that squirrels eat? You're not going to get that answer from me. Yeah. Yeah, if he's good to it, like if it's a plentiful environment for feeding, he's got the tree. He probably take good care of it. Give him a little owl box. Ows are so sick. Yeah.

It's a top five urban bird. Dude, they're stealthy. They fly silently. We've talked about this. Yeah. They come visit me on my chimney. Say what's up. That's how they sound.

I know you guys are jealous of how much of a Disney princess I am. It's fine. We've got those cardinals in our backyard. Cardinals are sick, too. They hop around. It's supposed to be a good omen when they show up. Really? Yeah.

Still waiting. Sorry, man. I need a BlueJ situation as well. There's so many more up north than there are. down Dallas. We had them in Dallas. Well, I'm saying even when I lived up in North Austin, there was a bunch of them up there.

Really? I haven't seen a single one down here in South Austin. What's going on with that? I don't know, man. Huh. We'll continue to track that as well. We'll continue to have fun this weekend, this holiday weekend. Yes, we will.

This weekend. There's a crazy event happening. I like to turn up. Brod, there's a crazy event happening. We had the party and it was lit. I got yelled out by a prostitute. Let's just go have fun and they'd go with it. Little more, girls.

Oh, thanks for asking. Just got some family time coming up for this 4th of July. We're off Friday. We'll be here and just going to link with the fam. Like my sister and brother-in-law, my nieces are staying with my dad for a couple nights. We'll be over there. with them. Probably going to go swimming at some point on Friday.

Be watching a little footy if it's on. Monday night, USA, but you're in a footy all weekend, I reckon. Yeah, I think so too. Yeah, I just pretty low-key family weekend, man. I haven't done anything really exciting for Fourth of July in a long time, actually. I don't know. Are you ashamed of this country? No, I'm not. I'm not ashamed of this country. I just haven't had big plans on the Fourth in a while.

It's kind of a shame. You got any big plans, Randall? I am actually trying to do the exact opposite and have zero plans actively. This is three weeks, have been fleek ends, as the fans have been saying it. Like, people are just thousands of people have been calling them fleek ends. But after a bachelor party, then like a week and a half in Europe, and then another wedding. And then Megan had a bachelor party in the weekend. We were just trying to stay in and do absolutely nothing all week.

Probably just hang out at our pool. Might go downtown to Autorium Shores for the fireworks, but otherwise I'm trying to do as little as possible as weekend. Just relax. Well, that sounds correct. That is the Fourth of July. That's how I want to celebrate 250 is by relaxing. I can see the semblance of a stash coming in.

Thank you. Thank you. I'll probably trim this up over the weekend. And then it'll look darker and it'll look better. Okay. What's Davey got? Heading to our annual Houston trip, actually north of Houston, spring area. To go to my wife's uncle's place, their family convenes there every fourth.

And they got a nice pool sitch. Oof, maybe the first year with two boys in the pool. Roads can swim at least, so I don't have to like, but Sammy's going to want to do everything Rhodes does and Rhodes jumps off stuff. It's going to be a whole thing. But I'm looking forward to it. It's always a blast. He always, uh, it's got the Blackstone.

It's got the, got the, the big Traeger smoking these meats. A lot of that. Oh, my God. Man, we have my, my, my offset, not that, sorry to jump into your weekend and fun. My offset, smoking just been out of a ranch for years. I miss it so much. I'm waiting. It's such a bitch to move that I'm waiting to like, I own a place and get roots.

And so I can remove it there. I mean, it requires, like, equipment to move this thing. Why don't you get Jason to help you? Who was the one you locked in a car? What happened? That was Brett. That was Brett. Okay, yeah.

I didn't lock him in a car. Something happened there. It was in the back of a U-Haul. He's locked up. He's locked up. He's locked up. Yeah, he rode back there. I forgot why he rode back there.

He had to hold something in place or something. I don't remember. Well, I did pay him for it. That's going to be a huge beating when you have to do it. I know, I know. I just miss, like, waking up early and getting that thing going. You need that for football season. I know.

I know. Football. Yeah, I'm going to be, we're going to be doing that. And, you know, I was a little bummed initially. The fourth fell on a Saturday. That wasn't like a shocker. You can just, you can look at the calendar and load that years out. But still, it was kind of like, eh.

But we're, we're out of office. Most people are out tomorrow. So we still get our little three-day weekend. So we'll be good. But yeah, we're heading out. Got to do that. God, the whole weekend's going to be kind of just looking forward to Monday night for a little USA action. Yeah.

I wish, oh, man. We couldn't land a fourth of July game. But that'd be two, that'd be two on the nose. That'd be too powerful. Yeah, what are y'all doing? Yeah. As much as I love our fans and they showed out last night, dude, have you watched any of Mexico? No.

Dude. They're going crazy. Mexico City was- The Mexico City shit's, first of all, their stadium is tight. I'll put that venue up there over MSG. Oh, it's sick. The mountain, when you first saw that, did you not think, all right, this is not real? It's sick.

It is beautiful. Yeah. They go crazy. Their elevation, there's crazy high. Yeah. Like, surprisingly. Yeah. But yeah.

They like soccer more than we do. Yeah, you got to give it to them. You do, in fact, have to hand it to them. So, look, we're going to be doing that. It's going to be low-key. I'm going to still be online. I'm going to try to twill. tweet. I'm going to tweet through it. We're going to have fun.

Hey, we got Rangers, Tigers opening up a little three game set, four game set. Fuck yeah, man. First place, Texas Rangers. Why not? First place, Texas Rangers. Yeah, 43 and 42. A.O. West is a little pillow fight. They're coming on, huh? Ah? Sure. And no, well, they, yeah, they ran off like five or six in a row. And their division is just, their division is like just a bunch of teams that are uh noa con concert goers just pooping their pants so okay okay we're gonna get your comments ready big dog i do i do uh very very quick ones this is randy's comments of the week we'll get a jingle one day comments of the week

maybe i'll just use that all right uh very quick one here chance says I heard one time Randy had a burger so good he spanked all five guys by our bottoms. That did not happen. But it would. Zach, Randy driving me nuts, not even five inches, not nine five in,

8 a.m. haircut makes up for it. So I'm sorry. So people are liking the 8 a.m. No. I guess so. I guess. I guess.

Thanks, I'm sorry. You know what? You're maximizing your haircut. Yeah. Because you know what I mean? You're getting an extra. you're getting more of a day paid for it got it at 8 a.m.

We had that whole day as opposed to paying for it after work. And you only get a few hours of that brand new haircut. That's true. And I get him off. I get his, his styling too, you know, because then I have to style it the second time.

And they're smart. Smart. You don't style it as well as your, as your guy? I mean, he, I don't know. It's just the fresh,

the fresh one. You go to a good barber, good hairdresser. They'll like do the, put the right stuff in, the pomade that you have to heat activate with the blow dryer. Shit, I'm not doing it home.

I'm not pulling out the blow dryer at home. I am. You are? But I also say that I think my hair looks best two weeks after a haircut. Yeah, you got to give it at least. I think you need at least eight to ten days and let it fully set. It looks good walking out the door and then two weeks later when I'm doing it myself. Dylan's a big proponent of that second week on the haircut.

Yeah, my window starts one weekend. One weeks one to three on prime. He actually refuses to get his haircut. in the States. That's right. Actually, Brett used to fly home. Fly to New York to get his haircuts. Speaking in New York, yeah.

That's actually true. He did that. That's true. Jeff says, does it really matter if the doo-do bag is in the recycling bin? They'll figure that out at the recycling center. It's the principal. I don't even know if they will.

I think it's just rude. It's rude. It doesn't go there. Wait, read that comment again? It says, does it really matter if the do-do bag is in the recycling bin? They'll figure it out at the recycling center. No, they won't.

Who's they? Will they? I got to imagine. You can they go through every piece of trash? Somebody say it all goes in the same place. That would have been a better argument, Jeff. Either way, it's disrespectful. It's disrespectful.

We love the illusion of recycling. Yes. Yeah, exactly. And then my favorite is from Drew. You know it smell crazy in Dylan's terrarium. Okay. Thanks, Drew. Thanks for tuning in, Drew.

That should be a new sag. Dylan's Terrarium? Yeah. I don't think so. Why? Why not? Why not? Give us one good reason.

That could be your Wash Weekly. Because I hate it? That could be your Wash Weekly. Go-to. The Terrarium. No. It's just shit you're into. No, we're not doing it.

I guess I'll start it. I'm going to start writing Dylan's Terrarium by day. Maybe I'll start that. Look for Wash Weekly. I'll be looking for it. Okay, I look for it. But that is it. That was my favorite.

one. All right, run it back. We're going to skip running back this week. No, I don't run it back. It's a short one. I'll do one. I'll give you one. Dave was in the bathroom doing a onesie and changed the TP. That is true. I think that was from Monday. We were talking about the toilet. Nobody called me out. I accidentally put the TP on underside. Yeah, I noticed.

And when I noticed it, I was like, ah, fuck it. Will does that sometimes on purpose in here. He said it's a kid play because kids can spin it and it won't come down. A lot of people, cats do that too because a cat will just bat the toilet paper. But we don't have kids or cats in here.

Yeah, we famously don't have kids in. We have Randy. Adult idiots in here. I've never, never once unraveled the toilet paper in this bathroom. I still want a T.P. Will's house and I can't believe you didn't let me. I can't believe you didn't let me.

Look, I will get, I am not going to stop you. You know I don't think it'll go well Although it will make for some incredible mail-in banter Here's the thing, now I can't even do it Because then if their house gets tepeeed Everyone's going to assume it's me Nah, no, I just do it Maybe I'll wait for like

Their kids get a little older Just hire some local punks to do it Ooh, I could Hire some cool team Get on their little electric bikes And they just go around like as mad max Just teetting their house Exactly right
