All right, we're back. Circling Back Podcast presented by Vizzy Hard Seltzer, the only hard seltzer with vitamin C from Superfruit Acerola. My name's Will DeFreeze. Go USA. To my right, David Ruff, baby. Yeah, that got me pretty jacked up. That did too.

Couple things right off the top. Fire kits going down right now. Good kick game. Senegal, great flag. Great warm-ups. Who are they playing? Netherlands? With the orange?

Very cool. A little bit of a hypocrisy. Orange looks great on the Netherlands national team. Horrible on Ricky Fowler eight years ago. Yeah, yeah. It's weird that the Netherlands have really found their niche as being a team that can wear it and look cool in it at all times whereas there aren't that many other teams out there who can look that good in a lot of orange facts um second point or just more of an observation

i had to after dropping off my son and my dog today i had to drop drop by a gas station to relieve myself. Number one. And it was a new gas station, and I noticed there's a taco truck there. And since I've got two guys here joining me today that are both from the North, have you ever seen, have you ever lived in a place that had so many taco trucks? Like, any food, as many food trucks,

but also just like every other gas station has a food truck at it no absolutely no and like you're also i've lived in northern michigan we have like three food trucks and all the olds have their minds blown when they're like oh my god a food truck it's just hard to do like you just have to operate in the snow winter months expensive to keep them warm yeah no it's mostly just brick and mortar establishments. Yeah. Shout out to bricks and mortars, though. Yeah, I support both of those things.

One of my dad's favorite things to say when people talk about how his son lives in Austin is he likes to just tell how many food trucks we have down here. It's like his go-to. Yeah. Loves those stats. those stats? It's interesting because I will not eat fast food if it is attached to a gas station. There's just something about it. That's like my elite trait. I don't get that. I don't get that at all. I think I had a bad experience when I was young. Because that's one of the only times I will get fast food is because I'm in a situation where I'm on the road and there's like a McDonald's

connected to a marathon. We did do McDonald's after the Houston meetup, but that was, we were all down real bad. Um, but I have no thought, no second thoughts about doing a tacos from a gas station parking lot. I like to go straight to the source for the tacos. Stu, just like just straight to the, straight to the the place i feel like they have all these places in austin that sell like taco deli tacos at like the at the cafe i'd rather just go to taco deli and get the taco straight you feel like you're losing something in transit yeah but these tacos may not travel they also don't offer my favorite breakfast taco as one of the to-go options at said cafes so that also affects me greatly shout out to the auto best best breakfast taco what cafe are you specifically

referring to oh they have several uh cafe medici is one you know right summer moon coffee there you go makes you feel fine the summer moon have food they do that they have like their pastries and then they have like their taco deli like yeah too many too many coffee shops have pastries and then they have like their taco deli like yeah too many too many coffee shops have pastries and like breakfast desserts and not enough hearty stuff like give me a egg and cheese on a biscuit or something no i feel like hearties is a pretty low tier does hearties have breakfast i don't know that's brett merriman's voice ladies and gentlemen good eye go usa dylan is in denver we shout an ode to nod nod to Dylan and Nick Adams. Yeah, you trying to do Dylan bits right now?

Yeah, I'll be Dylan today. What's Dylan doing in Denver? Appears he's at Red Rocks. He performed at Red Rocks based on, no one showed up for his performance at Red Rocks. He did a one-man show. I think he's just gallivanting. Nice.

That's pretty cool. I feel like I didn't know anything about this trip at all going into it. I was like, oh, okay. Sneaky Denver trip. I don't think they had a ton of stuff on the schedule. I think it was more just go up there, hang out with one of Brittany's friends. Those are the best kind. Yeah.

Hopefully he gets into some mushrooms or something, comes back with a new perspective and just a better attitude overall. I don't know if post-mushrooms Dylan... I don't know what that would spit out. Ideally, a renewed... That's an algorithm I can't figure out right now. Dylan on shrooms? Yeah.

I don't know, help me indeed. I feel like that would break the algorithm hard. You think he's microdosing? I feel like that would break the algorithm hard. You think he's microdosing? CBD at a minimum. Yeah. It's legal there.

He does like doing exactly one CBD. Yeah. That's kind of his thing. Everybody has their juice. That's Dylan's. No comment. What? We were hanging out with Harbs this weekend. Shouts to Har and his dog got into the some some thc gummies by accident and that was just making me think she's okay yeah we've all

been there yeah how how high his dog was all weekend she got into about a quarter of the amount that barrett's dog got into back in the day at ac after ac ACL and that dog was fine. Yeah. Has your dog also been really high at some point, Will? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Man, we got a big week ahead of us. I don't think I know that story.

Okay. Okay. Tomorrow, we'll be doing a little Patreon episode. Oh. Little pre-Thanksgiving patreon episodes hit absolutely different i think today's episode right now might hit a little different because short week like short week shortest of weeks world cup u.s men's national team today motivation's low i'll say it i'll do a beer at 1 p.m i might do i might do one i might do one i'll do only domestic though in honor of our whatever what if they produce that what if they like produce that domestic beer at a factory in

the united states can we be okay with that like a domestic domestic is a american beer if anyone out there i'm not sure if we're going to do a pure worst out episode tomorrow but if anybody has a bad night before thanksgiving story i want to hear it. Email it to worstof at washmedia.com. Or you can go to the Wash Media website, which is washmedia.com. Click on that Worst Of logo. Boom. You can fill out the anonymous form right there. But if you got that story, we want to hear it. But we'll probably be doing some other stuff too. Maybe sprinkling in some voicemails. We like some voicemail sprinkles every once in a while. And guess what? Patrons, they get first access to our Black friday sale not saying what that sale is but they get first access to that black friday sale washed media dot shop things will probably

sell out this week so if there's something you want to get even if you get to pay full price i'd probably go there now and do that uh but patrons get first access like i told you guys don't make it happen some new stuff coming. We have some ideas in the hopper. Did y'all see that drop in the Slack last night from Ricky? He had another drop today that I think you're going to like. Hey, is anybody on the marketing materials? We're dropping toys. We're not doing that.

We're not doing that. Randy, we sold eight. We can't do that. We could do, oh, what? I'll be faithful, though. Has anybody ever... Where are we dropping toys? Look, I appreciate...

It's Santa dropping... It's a war zone thing. As he's going into war zone. Has anybody ever voicemailed a worst of story? No. Or told their story. I just worry that it would just become too... It would be long.

What we've learned is that long voicemails can really wear thin. Can you imagine watching that on YouTube where we're sitting here for 10 minutes just like, oh yeah. No, that sounds like bad radio. It'd be tough. The radio.

Someone can try. I think our voicemail system shuts you off after two minutes either way. Part of the allure of the show is that when someone will, like he'll be a paragraph deep and then like one little detail will come up that's like a major red flag and we'll have to jump down and be like, whoa, whoa, whoa. What? And that's like me being able to pause makes it a little easier. I can place the dramatic pauses intentionally. And we're really bad about listening to the voicemails. Like half the voicemails, at least one member of the show is like, I didn't hear it.

Somehow we've been operating for almost four years now. Shade under four years. Holy shit. And somehow we still do not have a foolproof way of getting these voicemails done. But we'll figure it out eventually. If you figure out everything, there's nothing to figure out wash media is turning four in like two months we got a college degree in washed media holy shit i've been i've been here a lot of than barstool that's weird i'm about i think i think i'm a i think i'm at that point like i'm definitely at the breaking point where i've been at wash media longer than grand

x what's your highlight reel look like? Is it mostly WASH Media stuff or Barstool? Because I've seen a lot of Barstool. It's got to be Barstool, I think. I feel like I got more on-camera time there, whether I wanted it or not. Was most of that positive? Well, you know, it depends on your... Dave, everything's positive.

I see the glass half full. We're just lucky to be alive, man. Just keep living. Good point. I guess I can't really argue against that. L-I-V-I-N-G, Dave. Okay. It's McConaughey for you. Okay. You know what McConaughey would look damn good in? I'd like to see McConaughey's ass in some Muggsy jeans.

Muggsy's are the most comfortable men's jeans on the planet. They're built with proprietary stretch denim. These jeans look stylish, but feel like you're wearing sweatpants. The most damn comfortable jeans around. They are the stretch jeans for men. They were the first to do this for men, really. We know these guys quite well at this point. We've hung out with them numerous times. When you've broken bread with people at Matt's El Rancho, that's when you know that that's a friendship that goes deep. We sat at a top three table at Matt's El Rancho with them,

and we had a good time. Yeah. And the next day we we cured that hangover by crushing beers in the store with them i'll say it's true top two tables top two hey it's either that table or one next to the koi pond on like a date night i don't know if you get that middle table in the middle of uh that center room you kind of feel like you're like it's gotta be outside it's like a koi pond on a date night you like you like inside at matt's oh i mean dude depend like right now if you go to matt's like a koi pond on a date night. You like inside at Matt's? Oh, I mean, dude, right now, if you go to Matt's, I'm not saying outside. I'm just saying Matt's vibe, Matt's is outside in nice weather at one of the two tables I mentioned. In Muggsy's. I'm not going to give a top two table to a two top next to the koi pond.

I'll say that. What's wrong with a koi pond? Koi ponds can be gross. It's a three. I'll say this. When I pull up with that Muggsy jean jacket, it doesn't matter if I'm inside or out. I'm putting on a show. Dude, it's over. I brought it back to the read.

It's over. I did too. These are cotton based, so they're breathable, which is big for your nuts. It is. Huge, man. We got kids. Our nuts are huge. And guess what? They got more room for your balls. The fit, they're just great. They're never too baggy, never too skinny, always just right. And over everything, they

represent comfortability and style. Be your best self, Rockin' Muggsies, because you feel comfortable and confident to take on whatever the day throws you. They've got so much good stuff. They've got their swim collection. They've got their jean jackets, like Dave said. They've got some t-shirts that are just tasteful.

Dude, have you seen the new sweatshirts? Uh, no. They're like retro sweaters. I got them pulled up right now here for Davey. Look at those. Vintage Cruz. Go get them. I would definitely wear that. I'm not asking for a gift bag or anything, but I would wear those. Right now, there's a Black Friday

Head to Muggsy.com to take advantage of their Black Friday deals right now. Again, that is Muggsy.com for their Black Friday sale where you can get up to 30% off site-wide. When I saw

that there was some neighborhood chili drama, I had to hop straight into the Google Doc and make some edits. I missed this. I went to bed right after White Lotus, so I did not see this. Well, this was from like three days ago. We somehow all missed this until this morning. Do you want me to explain this?

Please. Let me read you three short paragraphs from our friends over at the Washington Post. Please do. This is paywalled content from the Washington Post, so please no one report me. Recently, a woman posted a thread on Twitter about her plans to make and deliver a pot of chili to her neighbors, a group of young men who,

judging from their stream of delivery pizzas, she thought might appreciate a home-cooked meal. Commenters immediately began feasting on the virtual dish themselves. Some saw it as imposing and presumptuous. Some said, IDK how I would feel if a stranger came to my house with a meal I didn't ask for, one wrote, and what some wondered if they had allergies. Some said, IDK how I would feel if a stranger came to my house with a meal I didn't ask for, one wrote. And what, some wondered, if they had allergies. Some of the critique went further. One accused her of coddling and encouraging man-child behavior. One attributed her generosity to a white savior complex. And why not, some wondered, ask what kind of help her neighbors really wanted before making assumptions. The outrage flowed in the other direction too, with people slamming the critics. But I think the most damning thing that she had happened was that

people criticized her for using carrots in the chili and this is and she didn't even use carrots in the chili so she was just getting fried off the face of the earth even though she didn't even do it are those tomatoes oh those are red bell peppers yeah she's chili looks bomb you would eat this chili yeah yeah um i'm on record as saying that i'm not a huge chili guy i i enjoy it's fine but i don't i don't go out of my i never make my own chili it's just not something i've ever done you ever do chili willies in college dave don't know what that is uh snorting cold vodka no never did that okay no sorry no it sounded like a fast food joint nope i was like it sounds regional but no no something else a nice uh nose chug yeah yeah uh will when you told me about this story i i heard you um just say chili and i thought we were doing a chili story

so when i saw this when i clicked on it, I was taken aback. No. I have to say. And I only talk about Applebee's on a date night at this point. That's true. That's the thing about you. I don't. What is a man-child behavior?

I think that's just where like you probably order. Part of the reason she did this is because she said that these guys were like, she was getting some of their DoorDash deliveries. And so she was getting a lot of pizzas and she was worried about their diet i'm not sure if chili is like what you make in order to fix someone's diet but you know that's i'm not gonna i'm not gonna sit here and criticize you want me to read the original tweet i do several guys moved in next door students i guess and i've gotten two confused door dash drivers for them in the last week uh Uh, and their trash can was completely

overflowing with pizza boxes. I don't think they cook. I am feeling such a strange motherly urge to feed these boys. Yeah. I guess she knows their students. Is she unaware of like the life of a college student? Like where did this person go? But I almost feel like she's very aware of the life of a college student and the people that are criticizing her for giving this food to them if i was a college student and a woman came over that was my next door neighbor with a giant pot of chili that we didn't ask for i'd be like yes please like let me put that in my fridge right now because i would love some free food did the lady who lived or who worked next door at our old office who would always bring us their leftovers did she encourage our man-child behavior yes because she encouraged it to the point where i would loudly

say man what are we doing for lunch today hoping that she would hear so we'd get free food she pulled up with like eight boxes of kfc one time we're like none of us wanted kfc we're like oh i don't want KFC. And then we were just face deep in chicken. We were all just slopping down on some original recipe. Yeah. It was a great day. Yeah.

A lot of assumptions being made about these guys. I don't want to step on a landmine again because I just don't know about man-child behavior, but it is by far one of the more hilarious things I've ever heard. I do like that. Why are people like shitting on this girl for doing an incredibly nice thing? I would love, I would love nothing more than to make fun of this woman right now. But I think she's getting wronged.

Yeah. I think she deserves a redemption of some sort because she's just making a pot of chili for her neighbors. It appears as though she lives in a relatively cool weather place. I don't understand why we're shaming people for making chili for their neighbors at this point. No.

People used to do this all the time. Somebody would move in and they'd bring over housewarming food. Did you get cookies when you moved in, Dave, from your neighbors? Dave gives the gift of gumbo to certain people. That's true. I'm not one of those people. You haven't made gumbo in a minute.

I know that he's done that. In a minute. The more that I think about it, like, Dave. What the fuck's the gumbo, Dave? I'll make gumbo. Can you imagine if you made the gift of gumbo and people just started frying you off the face of the earth for white knighting your friends? Oh, man. Yeah.

I guess I lucked out doing it before the chili tweet here um yeah it's look she thought she was making a lot of assumptions i guess if you are if you're those kids those guys living next door i mean do you think any one of them's like who does she think she is oh we can't you don't think i can take care of myself like that's not how if these dudes are college students that's not how they think. No one thinks like that. If you're a college student and you're, that's the way you think, like you're the most entitled college student of all time.

I was so broke. Like, I was buying $6 bottles of vodka to last the weekend. Yeah. I was gone off that Azteca. Yeah. Oh, Burnett's. I was on that, I was on that Korsky grind. Oh, yeah.

Just McCormick's plastic bottle. It doubled as like you could just clean your drains with it. Disgusting. Yeah. Korsky was $6 for a thing. What was that thing you said, Chili Willy? Chili Willy's? Yeah.

That's where you snort it, right? Yeah. See? Yeah. Dave, were you just not cool? That's also an up north thing, north thing i guess yeah i guess so to be honest i learned that from my buddies that lived in connecticut really yeah so it definitely is probably a in brett's wheelhouse shouts to the dairy and blue

wave um down south we just butt chug bigger fan of the dairy and hatchers great guy the captain um the the have you seen the recipe for this chili i mean i know she posted it i i Great guy. The captain. Have you seen the recipe for this chili? I mean, I know she posted it. Here's the thing. I'm not going to sit here and critique people's chilies. That's not my place. I've never made my own chili.

Has it gotten to that? You said that people were roasting it for having carrots, even though there's not carrots. Yeah, there's no carrots in there. But other than that, it looks like a fine chili to me, right? Well, are you guys chili snobs? Because there's chili snobs out there. I am not one of those people. Chili is like the most unsnobbish food on the planet.

Exactly. That's why I don't get when people are like, it's beef and soup. Because what? Texas chili is no beans. Isn't Dylan really into chili? I can see him being a chili snob. Micah is a chili snob. A chili guy.

I'm a mac and cheese snob, but not chili. I've seen Micah enter two chilis into a chili contest, and he didn't win with either of them. Chili cook-off, right? Yeah. I didn't even vote for his. We don't have Chili Fest. We have Chowder Fest up in Saratoga Springs. I would love to do that. Do you want to go to Saratoga in February with me?

Do Chowder Fest? I would rather go in July. Horses. Golf and golf and stuff i'm not mistaken texas chili does not use tomatoes they don't use beans or tomato paste or beans i don't know about the tomato part but like again like i don't really care if there's beans i don't have a harsh take there get them out of there that's my opinion i don't like beans i mean i don't put i don't put that many beans in my like chipotle burrito bowls but i'm also not like disgusted if there's beans in

something because i'm not a child do you ever get a bowl at the at the lay and you do get beans and by the time you get home the bean juice is is like worked its way through the bowl come on the guy like you didn't drain it properly yeah that's the thing that happens can i ask you guys a question that i'm afraid to ask is chili named more for the ingredients or the weather that it's consumed in i could tell you this man this is not the show to get the accurate answer just not based on the spelling of chili i believe believe it is because of the Chile peppers in there. Probably so.

But it's also... Where does that come from? The country? What was the first word? Like, where do words come from? Dude. That'd be facts. Look it up.

Where do words come from? How did Chile get its name? It's named after Chile, South America, by local people sympathetic to its cause during Chile's struggle for independence. Oh, that's real funny, Brett. That's the town of Chile, not the... Not the meat-based soup?

You tell I realized about halfway through that sentence that I was doing the completely wrong thing. Whatever. Dave, stop. I know what I said. I know what I said. I don't care either way. I'm not trying to defend chili here, but... Oh, man. What is...

Brad, we're not going to read that. I don't know. It's a surprising history of chili. I don't... It dates back to... 2,000 words on chili. 10,000 years ago. The one thing I don't negotiate with when it comes to chili is my fixings.

What are your fixings? What does that mean? Are you jumping into an ad read? No. no i need i need like i legit need shredded cheese i legitimately need diced white onion are you saying it's the only way it is the only way it's the only i'm not going to enjoy a chili if there's not shredded cheese on top do you like the dollop of sour cream i do but it's not a requirement another requirement that i've recently started milking it or whoa milking in mixing mixing in is diced fresh jalapenos. Hey, man.

You weren't born here, but you got here as fast as you could. Oh, yeah, brother. That's a real tension there. Yeah, man. That's good. Good for you. Good for you.

I think you would like my father-in-law's chili. I like any chili. He usually makes some. We usually bring it back. Maybe I'll bring you would like my father-in-law's chili. I'd like any chili. He usually makes some. We usually bring it back. Maybe I'll bring you the gift of third-party chili. I did give Sally a little advice about her chili last time. She kind of made like a Whole30 chili. Ooh.

And it was good. It's good. It is good. Is it? But I did ask, you know, maybe next time we can do something a little hardier. I think I asked it in a way that did not get me in trouble. But we'll see the next time she makes chili i'll say this whole 30 chili sounds better than hole 2 chili you know what i'm saying

yeah it is okay wow it is go ahead and mark that down we'll clip it put that on tick tock is our official take that she didn't deserve this yeah yeah that's my official as someone who has not has not gone through her timeline to see any prior takes yeah it seems like she was a little bit she did put this out there like why it's like when you do like a charitable act and like you have to like record it maybe that's what we should be critical oh dude wow you're such a altruist um performative altruism that's that's what we should be criticizing yeah actually good point did she have was she a known commodity before this yeah she's got she got a decent little twitter following i also think that like we might be on totally different waves in

general let me see what but i i will ride with her that she got a little wrong here the eve six guy follows her if she wants to bring me chili i will eat it and not put her on blast on twitter for bringing us chili we should have just flamed that lady next door just bringing over jersey mics or whatever they're eating we should have just that would have been like doing such a nice act for us bringing an entire company lunch numerous days of the week. We should probably tip them off that they're wasting a lot of money on food. I think they know. I don't think it matters at the clip that that company was hiring. They were very flush with cash.

Yeah. If you're looking to get hired at a job in Austin, Texas, go look for surveillance companies in Westlake. They're probably hiring. They're growing at a rapid clip. Yeah. Didn't they get bought out? They took on some money? I don't know. Some VC? Some cap? News to me. You know what? They actually did.

No, you're right. If anybody would have known that, it's Brett. They were on the ABJ at some point. Yeah. Austin Business Journal. Which I am a member of. You need your biz dev guy to be abbreviating abj that was a good story to kick off with do you do she's done making chili now if you get flamed on the internet for it no i bet lincoln riley's still making brisket i think she

needs to double down i think she needs to make chili for the other side i dave kind of got off the hook for not making gumbo for the last couple of years for any of us. I just want to make sure that he knows he's on the hook. I'm putting Dave back on the hook. I was pretty devastated when I didn't get a thing of chili from Dave, but I didn't actually... I knew I couldn't actually care because the way that Dave delivered the chili was to people's front doors, almost surprising them. And to do that at someone's apartment complex, further away than the people who had houses, that would just be a waste of time on Dave's part. Yeah, you got to get the date code. It was very spontaneous, spur of the moment deal. I will run it back. I'm not a gumbo expert. I've

never claimed to be, but I do make an adequate gumbo which i think adequate gumbo is better than most things you can mask a mediocre gumbo for me by simply having really bomb sausage in there oh i'll put the most bomb sausage in there you're gonna put your bomb sausage in there for me yeah and dewey sausage summer sausage venison sauce you're just naming sausages yeah sure i'm kind of craving chili now i'll be honest with you yeah yeah like a cold it's a cold ass day out there 39 this morning texas chili parlor is a real fun place to go after a football game it it might be the most sec feeling thing about texas football for some i don't know i have i don't know why i'm saying that like i don't have

an explanation for why i'm saying that but when i'm at texas chili parlor watching a game i feel like i'm watching an sec game at all times it's just fun in there everybody just has like a frat swoop it's either that or like the 2005 rose bowls on it also just no matter what more well i said that earlier oh you did yeah yeah oh you stole his original joke oh or did he steal my future joke i I'm just a pretty, I'm pretty apathetic to the SEC right now based on some previous results. He's apathetic. Well, maybe you should go all in on the NFL because the DraftKings Sportsbook

You know? And so today we have to do White Lotus Wednesday, but on a Monday. Last night I did something I haven't done all season. I watched it the night of and the train keeps rolling. I'm still very happy with what we're seeing on my screen. It's getting better each week. You know what they're doing? I think they're ratcheting it up with the music every episode. So every episode they have the more anxiety-inducing stuff. That was a hallmark of season one for sure. Almost to the point to where you would go somewhere and you would hear it

and you would get an ominous feeling. Like it triggers that. The music, the score in that show, that's what we say in the business, is perfect. Last night was the first night I got that feeling where I'm like, oh, they're doing this. Just to be clear, Brett, you don't watch this show, correct? Correct. Yeah. Tune me out.

Brett doesn't watch any television besides sports. Pretty much. Right now. You know what? I almost tweeted this, but I didn't because I didn't want to be performatively altruistic. I am going to go Yellowstone from the beginning. Dude, everyone's shitting on the latest season. Just let's hold off on that because I got something I want to say about that later. But I'm saying that I am going to do this. And I'm excited about it.

I'm going to go ahead and say this before we get into White Lotus. I'm going to hop into the Tulsa King. He's the king of Tulsa. I didn't know Tulsa had a hierarchy like that. Tulsa King, Sylvester Stallone. Yeah, I thought they were city council. I'm pretty excited about it. People have been telling me it's fun. Okay. So we'll see. Okay. We'll see. You know that, you know, the premise, right? Yeah. He's the King of Tulsa. Okay. What's the premise? I don't know. New York mafia capo, Dwight,

the general man, Freddie is released from prison after 25 years and exiled by his boss to set up shop in tulsa oklahoma realizing that his mob family may not have his best interest in mind dwight slowly builds a crew oh fuck yeah here can i do my impression of the king of tulsa okay i don't know if they have my investments in mind. Sylvester Stallone. Very different actor. Didn't know about the Italian community in Tulsa. It wasn't really... I saw a billboard for this when we were in LA, and I actually thought to myself, Dave, Sly looks great. Yeah, yeah, he does.

I don't know how it holds up in person, but on camera, it looks great. Yeah, as far as the severely photoshopped billboard goes, he looked really good. Okay. So we're on episode four. Last night, if you haven't watched it, obviously just go to the show notes and skip ahead.

Last night we saw a pseudo breakup between Albie and the personal assistant who has moved on to a very slick British guy. Yeah, I need your thoughts on that dude. I think he's trash overall.

I hate him. I think he's trash overall, but he is slick. I know he's an absolute weapon. He's got, yeah, that's what I refer to him to Sally as. Essex, right? He's from Essex in the show? Yeah. Is that any relation to where Tom Hardy's from?

Because he sounds like Tom Hardy. I don't know where Tom Hardy's from? Because he sounds like Tom Hardy I don't know where Tom Hardy's from But like you know If you're a Love Island watcher You know when an Essex person comes out of nowhere Like you can just tell by the accent They all have the same vibe Essex people are kind of built different

Crap he's from Hammersmith Damn Do you know if that's near Essex? It's Fulham adjacent Does that help? Because it doesn't help me at all I mean fulham fulham fulham what did i say you said fulham just fulham okay sorry i'm sorry that's rude i just jumped into that was rude that was rude that's fine that's fine london city limits i don't want you to feel like you can't contribute. I don't watch the show.

I want to be here. That's okay. Get out of here, dog. You could put on some headphones and listen to the Wallflowers. Yeah, you could. That's a good bit. That's right. Yeah, I don't want to like the guy, but he was so smooth in how he operated with her

that I'm like, okay, she clearly is very into him. Yeah, and I get it. Albie's a cuck. But the whole time we knew, we knew Albie was going to go up there. I didn't think he would brick it this bad. You're just waiting for him to go up there and make it awkward, and God, he did. That was a, hey, saved you a spot.

So bad. You can't go up there. Dude, I was close to being that guy on vacation when I was in high school. I met this girl from a different school. And I remember getting to the point where it's like, Will, you can't simp for this girl. That's a bad look for you. Did you also get domed up by a prostitute?

No, no. Had my story ended like Albie's did, I think my life would have gone in a much different direction. That also hooked up with your dad a few nights prior? And also was topless in your grandpa's room like also earlier that day or i guess the day before right the grant i was glad to see that this episode featured less of the grandpa as he spikes my anxiety every time he talks i think he's perfect he picks his spots and he nailed every every scene he's any nails

he's gotten less creepy which is nice yes he needed to get less creepy and the way that you and dylan actually supported the way that i don't want to say he's a scene stealer but he does that's a good way of putting he takes his uh takes his opportunities very well um you guys did make me look a little more positively at him but i think i was creeped out by him in the beginning so much that i didn't want to admit that i i enjoyed him a little bit creeped out by him in the beginning so much that I didn't want to admit that I, I enjoyed him a little bit. Um,

this set up a lot of things. We get the, um, the manager Valentina. It looks like she's going to make a move on. What's her name? Where did this come from? The employee. I don't know.

I think it's weird because if you remember, um, who's our guy from season one that we love? Armand. Armand. Yeah. Armand seduced one of his employees. Oh, yeah.

Dylan. Dylan famously put his face there. And now it looks like they're setting that up with Valentina, which you kind of wondered what they were going to do with her. I'm still wondering what they're going to do with her. I've liked her character. She's sassy. She doesn't put up with Valentina, which you kind of wondered what they were going to do with her. I've liked her. I'm still wondering what they're going to do with her. I've liked her character. She's sassy, shouldn't put up with shit.

But at the same time, it's like, what are you doing? What is this? Who's our Armand at this point? Is it the, is it the prostitute?

She's the one causing the chaos. I feel like she's the one where the chaos is going to all stem from at this point because she's definitely, I mean, I told sally last night my theory is that she ends up marrying albie like he saves her brings her back to la yeah or he stays there because he's like out of school and like whatever it doesn't matter i wouldn't hate that i genuinely i love

her character i'll be i would be devastated if she ended up with a dork like Albie, though. Love a lot of things about her. Just the writing. Her dialogue. She's a scene stealer, personally. They're great. Yeah, both of them are good. They're really good. The piano player. Is he dead? I'm assuming he's not going to make it. So, do we confirm that was Viagra?

Well, what Sally told me is that it could have either been an adverse reaction to a drug, like a hard drug, or there's some people that just can't take Viagra because it'll kill you. You ever taken Viagra? Have not. All right. Brett just winked at us. No, I'm just kidding. I just didn't know Viagra could kill potentially.

I think there's some, I think, I don't know. Yeah, if you probably have a heart condition, I'm sure, right? Because it does, it's like the blood flow. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, if you probably have a heart condition, I'm sure, right? Because it's like the blood flow. Yeah. I don't know. Probably not right. We're not in STEM. No, no longer.

We've pivoted to podcast. The last time I took what would be considered a STEM course was probably about 2007. I only smoked STEM. Maybe eight. I smoked the worst weed. Really? Just the shittiest. It's probably fake.

It's pencil shavings from a kid's notebook. You're not even grinding up the stem. You're just lighting the end of the stem and smoking that down. Yeah, I'm boiling banana peels, trying the nutmeg, trying it all. It was very lazy of that girl to go through the purse and grab all the pills and then not just walk 10 more feet down to the water and ask, hey, which one's Viagra? That bothered me.

It also would have maybe tipped off Albie that... She's a prostitute? You know, he would ask, why do you have Viagra? Yeah, but if you're on vacation and you're in the water with a girl and then her friend asks about Viagra... You're not stopping. Yeah, you just kind of act like that never happened. I'm happy for him.

I am too, I guess. But again, he's such a dork. He's a total dork. He's a total cuck. I don't think I thought that before. He absolutely bricked the situation with the personal assistant where he just couldn't help but go up to her. I thought he was after the last episode.

I probably should have. Nice kid, but you knew. You knew when that dude jumped in the pool and was after the last episode. I probably should have. Nice kid, but you knew. You knew when that dude jumped in the pool and was giving her the eyes. We had not seen the last of him. Oh, we had not seen the last of him. What's going on with that guy's uncle? I don't know. That Tonya's running around with now.

I'm not very invested in that. If Tonya cheats on what's-his-face, it doesn't matter to me. I have no concerns. Facts, yeah. Nobody cares about Gregreg no greg needs to get out like he's that guy sucks greg might greg might die on a boat it was a miss even bringing greg back you think this season i enjoyed him i'm so tan i'm thinking he's the dude who's gonna get got though i don't hate that theory i think i mean that's it's that's almost what they're expecting you to think yeah um but i gotta say that was one of the hottest uh hottest parties i've ever seen all those dudes that came up there were just just tens yeah yeah

i like 21 year old tens where did where did they find these guys why can't i find trip friends like that that just invite me to dope ass dinners this i guess i didn't pick up on like that that dude was gay the the main one that was into tanya yeah i didn't either just the way he was talking i was like okay like are you into her into her or you just you you like her style i don't know but then uh once once they had the the party with all dudes then i was like oh yeah oh yeah that makes sense yeah i get it what other storylines we got hey can i let me just interrupt is is the does white lotus season two follow like do you know somebody's gonna die do you know it's at a vacation like this season started off uh with a

scene that was a week in the future which is what they did much like the last right yeah and so in the that first scene you see one of the main characters dive into the water for a final swim on her vacation and everything's great and then suddenly a dead body floats by got it okay so that's what we're dealing with so same similar yeah okay um okay let's talk about the two couples oh yeah call me crazy let's let's hypothetically say dave that this happens to either you or me Oh, yeah. Call me crazy. Let's hypothetically say, Dave, that this happens to either you or me. We're with one of our college buddies who's made a lot of money.

We're hanging out. We're partying. Our wives get kidnapped and go somewhere for a night, and we party. And then your boy from college cheats on his wife in your room, and there's a condom wrapper on the couch. Your wife finds it. I don't think, knowing my wife, knowing your wife, I don't think they're just putting that in their dop kit for the day and calling it good. I feel like I'm getting undressed right there and yelled at. Yeah, that's going to be an immediate conversation. I'm sitting there. I'm like,

how is she not just saying like, what's this condom wrapper? We could solve this problem right now. It serves the show very well because then every scene with the four of them, you're waiting for her to bring it up and you got that music creeping in and that's when the tension gets high. But like, it's such an easy out because you can just be like, oh no, like, babe, the scumbag, the noted scumbag is the one who had sex on that couch. Yeah. The one who you know already cheats on his wife

per the person you were with. Yeah. He was the one who did this. Yeah. Also, Cameron knows that Harper knows. Cameron gave her a look. Like he could tell that something was wrong. And now he probably thinks that Ethan told Harper.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I still have a huge crush on her. On who? Daphne. Daphne. You're a. Mm-hmm. I still have a huge crush on her. On who? Daphne. Daphne. You're a Daphne guy. I'm in love with Daphne.

Like, I'm head over heels in love with her. You're a Daphne punk? Mm-hmm. Thank you. I'm a big Aubrey Plaza guy after this season. Just in general, I think I'm very impressed by her performance. I'm not saying she couldn't do this, but she flipped me. I didn't know. I really didn't know she had by her performance. I'm not saying she couldn't do this, but she flipped me. I didn't know.

Like I really didn't know she had it in her. I didn't either. I had seen her play one character, uh, pretty much my entire life. I didn't really take in a lot of her other work outside of parks and rec have to admit, absolutely have loved her this season. She's been probably top top two for me. Maybe, maybe, uh, Ethan's going to spill. He's gonna spill he's not he is not gonna save camera no no you can't no no i wouldn't no to be honest like there's too much there's too much that could

go wrong like you got to figure that out that's on camera for being sloppy yeah you don't just leave that there yeah you gotta watch this show i probably will at some point it's got a lot of juice yeah i like the first season a lot i really did i enjoyed it i just i missed the wave and like i wanted to let you guys ride the wave and i i paddled over it and just kind of went over i'll i'll get the next set dude did you think we were gonna get a uh Dominic crank scene? A Michael Imperioli? That was such a half-hearted crank. Dude, that's just a guy. That's a defeated crank.

It was a sad crank. That's like your favorite team just lost in the playoffs. I just did say I'm going to get yelled at for it. I matched that follow button on Daphne's IG. How many followers? Let me guess. More than I thought. 488. Smash that follow button on Daphne's IG. How many followers? Let me guess. More than I thought.

488. 684. Wow. Good for her. Uh-huh. You make a living off of that. Pretty impressive. Pretty impressive stuff.

Megan Faye. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Megan Faye. She's in stuff. I'm a big fan of hers. That's like half of marriage conversations, by the way. You're watching a show, and you're like, oh, what is he in? Tanya's gay friend. Alyssa stopped the show.

She's like, I recognize his voice. And then she named some obscure show, probably English. And I was just like, yeah. One of the dudes was in Emily in Paris. Really? Okay. It took me a minute for that. Yeah, that is half the conversation.

Wait, what? I recognize him. Don't look it up. Don't look it up. Don't tell me. I'm going to let it come to me. It's usually Game of Thrones. See, that doesn't resonate with me.

I don't know. That Matt Smith dude seems to be in everything these days. Is that his name? Who's Matt Smith? I don't know. Is that not his name? Yeah, Randy's confirming. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

He's the guy with the... Yeah. The thing. Damon. Damon Targaryen. Of course, you know that. Damon? You know how those Targaryens get.

How do they decide on Damon? I don't know. As opposed to all the other, like, Rahendra and Daenerenerys and there's just damon yeah there's glenn johnny damon yeah these guys like sneaky there's tanner lannister is there i can't i have so i don't know if this is a bit that you guys have been doing for years or if there's actually a tanner lannister is there actually a tanner lannister oh no this is the fratty lannister i was very confused i was like i've

heard this so much that now i'm convinced there's a tanner lannister the funniest thing though is in house of uh the dragon hot d there is a jason lannister i hate that it's just nice it just doesn't he always pays his debts man he just pulls up with a tray full of Schlotzky sandwiches and just goes to town. I couldn't tell if you were doing a one person on here. I thought you were doing a Jason's Deli joke and working in subs. No, no, no. There's levels to it and it's obscure and

I regret it. I regret my actions. Anyway, good show. I'm excited. I thought after episode one and seeing some of the buzz i thought people were going to turn on it um and that has not happened i i am i've been completely happy with this season i'm not i have no takes whether how it stacks up versus season one and i'm not going to do that but i have very much enjoyed it can you turn off randy's mic real quick randy if you don't mind getting off tinder real quick um just playing i'm on imbd uh did you watch the final walking dead last night yeah let's get randy's walking dead review not yet but i think that's the series

finale it is i've yet to watch i refuse to believe walking dead is going away well there's just gonna be another there's like three based on the chart that I saw floating around Twitter about the viewership numbers, they need to shoot that show in the head. Well, they're not. They're spinning out more stuff, and I think there's going to be a movie. Dude, seeing what the numbers used to be versus what they are now was one of the more depressing things I've ever seen. I think zombies are done, right? There was a zombie era for a while, like World War Z. I feel like it went from 2003 to

2015. Yeah, zombies, they had a pretty good little run there. Then it was like dragons and fantasy shit. I'm so glad Dylan's not here to sing a song that none of us want to hear. You know, dragons, though, there's a theory that they once roamed the Earth. Dude, I've thought that. What's up?

I thought, so this is actually, tell us about it, bud. I'll save it for a later conspiracy pod, but Game of Thrones had zombies, idiot. It's true. Yeah. But the Game of Thrones started in like 2010. So they were right in the middle of zombie,

like pop culture. So zombies, zombies played. Zombies did have a moment, y'all. What's late? What's it now i mean but what is what is the cool paranormal fantastical thing yeah i mean dragons pretty much no actually no what replaced zombies was just straight up murders yeah like straight like that's like then we started getting cereal and stuff like that and like actual murders started

replacing people, things that live forever or whatever. Do zombies live forever unless you cut their head off? Is that the thing? Isn't there a wooden stake involved? That's vampire. Who would eat a steak made out of wood? Randy, you got to watch this.

Walking Dead? I need you to watch. I am fully caught up except for last night. Are you really? You are one of dozens of people. I watched the penultimate. I can't believe that. You and KJ might be the only two people I know know so i'll let you know how underwhelming it is

i was actively seeking out spoilers last night i even thought when i saw the series finale was on i was like i can't believe randy's gonna watch this yeah does it i mean is rich still kicking yeah we'll see yes considering he's going to be in the movie. Yeah, I don't like how they did that. It's like you can kind of guess where they're going with the finale. But that's all we have to say about it. Thank you, Randy. What was your Yellowstone take?

Let's move on. Oh, okay. I can issue it after this, Brett. Am I dilloning the rundown right now? A little bit, but you wouldn't know. You wouldn't know based on the rundown. Let me put it that way. Before we get into that,

wow it's where we uh we we've been storing away all of our thanks uh in a bank for the last year and now we get to undo the vault what's the interest rate like on that dude 6.9 percent man wow brett you're familiar with the thank bank it's a good one no i'm not please uh if for for somebody yeah for somebody who's new to this randy is randy is familiar with like well like stuff from 2015 that's true like oh you guys talked about that segment that one he's an encyclopedia of this show. There's a decent chance that Brett's already been on a thank bank. Oh, thank you.

Like, year one, he was probably on a thank bank. He's just, like, not even thinking about it. This is fun. Why don't you go ahead? I'll follow. Well, Dave, you wanted to – I think we're – Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Are we combining?

Yeah. My first thank bank, I just want to say, is Elon Musk. Controversial figure. He's not on my think bank. He is on mine because he has brought Twitter back indirectly based only upon the small rebellion going on in his company and the ensuing, I guess, Friday night, Twitter, was it Thursday or Friday night when everyone was sure that Twitter was going away? Well, I knew it wasn't going away, but it was kind of, everybody knew. That's what killed me though, is that everyone knew that it actually wasn't going away the next

day. It was like Y2K. There are a lot of scenarios. Like, I mean, I have been talking about Twitter enough with people where I felt like I needed to do my research about the different scenarios that could happen that could actually shut Twitter down. There's a really good thread on this. Yeah. So there's a thread of like so many different scenarios that really kind of brings to light like, okay, this is actually a possibility. But I would say that nobody actually thought they'd wake up the next day and Twitter would just be offline. But people knew that there was content to be had and volume shooting to be done. Nobody did a, like, you can find me on this tweet, right? From this company?

Yeah. No. Okay. No, we're not. Don't do that. I'm not bringing back Snap. We don't stoop that low. That was as cringy as I've ever seen people on Twitter being like,

well, if this is the end, find me on Mastodon. And I was like, stop. What is Mastodon? That's a great question. I think it's Slack meets Twitter is kind of what I've heard. I don't have a Mastodon account on account that they are extinct. Some people. I think mammoths are still here

you know what Brett underrated but thank you Elon because that was one of the most fun nights on Twitter we've had in a while people bringing up their greatest hits just some of the all time great tweets saw some stuff saw some trill balling stuff I've forgotten about I was on our

flight to Vegas during that whole fiasco and so i was trying to update on playing wi-fi which was and with a crying child next to me love it not an ideal situation for trying to be on a good twitter night so how did that go hate vegas worst city on earth yeah i don't understand vegas people i know i didn't get it i know i didn't get a bachelor party but like if i had one and y'all were trying to get me to go to Vegas, I would tell y'all not. Can you give Randy a little volume?

Randy still has volume. You could hear him swiping. Randy. Vegas, baby! There it is. Thank you, Randy. There he is. Well, you just missed the greatest hits. You could go back. I can recommend some accounts.

Just go look at their RTs if you're big into RTs. I did. I got enough information that night, but it was tough getting it. Yeah. It was a good night to screenshot tweets, your favorite ones, until you can't. Interesting. I was going to holster this one, but Brett is super, super into talking about this right now, so I'm going to bring it to my first thank bank.

Okay? Yes. I want to thank anyone who is willing to admit that yellowstone sucks and that they're done watching it because you have given me license to also do the same okay brett i want you to know what you're getting into when you start watching this show yeah no i mean it's it's i'm excited i think it's uh you know one of those shows that the aesthetic plays a role in the people liking it so much it's like oh cool probably 90 of the show it that the aesthetic plays a role in the people liking it so much. It's like, oh, cool. Probably 90% of the show.

It's the aesthetic and it just makes people feel like they are cowboys. Right. And Kevin Costner plays a role. So I'm going to dive in. No expectations other than I feel like I'm going to like the aesthetic of the show more than the actual show itself. Like if that thing's in Des Moines, come on. Yeah. It ain't hitting the thing.

No offense to our Midwest. We got nothing but love in Des Moines, come on. Yeah. It ain't hitting the scene. No offense to our Midwest. We got nothing but love for Des Moines. By Des Moiners. If that was, if it was in, I'd say if it was in Austin, it probably wouldn't hit, but it would probably hit.

It would probably hit. Yeah. Unfortunately. Yeah, it probably would. Or Diffie. Like City Encroachment on people's farms going out. Yeah, it would.

It totally would. I finished season two and then when, season four is currently out and I was like, you know know what there's a lot of hype for season four so much hype that i'm impressed that people watch season three and i watched the first episode of season three and was just like okay i remember every single reason that i hate this show it is preposterous then the guy hook up with a wolf or something in season one dude they hook up in front of wolves all the time it's like what's going on okay kind of bad like in a vacuum that

statement's badass like i would like i would also want to hook up with the scene itself is how alpha is that it's cringe oh really it's not good i hate this show i feel like there's a lot of uh yeah i think the thing i've this is you see like oh spicy that's how he's um it feels like based on the previews and whatnot there's like just gratuitous murder to keep people in kind of like oh like oh that's surprising the amount of bullets that fly around like in this show on a daily basis is just wild just feels like a lawless area so people are just gifting blenders like each other like they would make they would be making the news for this kind of stuff in a big way on a national level.

Like a lot of murder? Just a lot of murder, yeah. A lot of explosions. Things blowing up everywhere. We're at a ranch. Tannerite? I get that. I have been told that they got their helicopter budget back

for season four. That they? They lost the helicopter budget for a couple seasons because I think it was just tough, but... It's in the shop? They had to start taking the King Ranch Edition trucks everywhere instead of the helicopters. Okay, so they used to fly around the helicopter in...

The camera was on the copter, not in the copter pointing down. You know what I mean? They just didn't fly in helicopters anymore in season two and three. They were just flying commercial. That's just a big drop off. Just not the same.

Yeah. Yeah, I have no desire to start it. But, Brett, just because you know this season sucks, there's no reason to not start it. No, I don't have an opinion. I'm not like a review reader letting season sucking make my decisions for for me i want to watch the show for the aesthetic and the cultural relevance okay well said um i'm gonna i'm gonna pivot a little bit mind my think bank entry here uh i got a dm from a listener this is a cool d. I'm not going to say his full name, but his name's Griff. We'll say that.

I can remember around ninth grade when I was a summer camp counselor going to the one spot with Wi-Fi and screenshotting articles so I could read them later. Started reading some PGP stuff around sophomore year of college, and I got really into touching base right before it went under. I was living in my fraternity house when y'all started circling back around Christmas time.

And I anagrammed it. I have a thank you. You're just going to skip mine? Oh, I didn't know you had it. I thought you didn't know what the thank bank was.

dave where they were trying to charge me eleven hundred dollars for a crack in a windshield wow were you with hunter biden congrats to his daughter naomi for getting married this weekend anyway um and they and after a few strongly worded emails they they waived it. They waived everything. I was happy to pay what it cost to replace a crack in a windshield, which is like, I don't know, $400 tops. It's not $1,100.

No, it's not $1,100. And they were trying to charge me for the days the car was out of service. And I was like, I can get fucking Safe Flight over here and fix a windshield in an hour and a half. We're not getting charged days for cars out of service for a cracked windshield. They also wouldn't provide evidence. So we don't take pictures of minor cracks. That's us. in an hour and a half. Yeah. We're not getting charged days for cars out of service for a cracked windshield. They also wouldn't provide evidence. So we don't take pictures of minor cracks.

That's good. You never want to take pictures of minor cracks. That's very true. Very true. Thank you, Avis. Is this a snake draft? Can I go next? You can.

Sure. You're on a roll. I'm thankful for Lane Kiffin. Oh, God. This is subject. I was going to say, you might have a big tune change soon. This is subject to about a week from now. We don't do politics. We don't do college football.

Why not? Dude, stick to sports. No, no, do it. This is your thing. Thankful for Lane Kiffin. I just want to say what he's done in three years at Ole Miss. Turned the program around. Just really thankful that we have such a good guy at the helm of the Ole Miss

Rebels that, like, the program, the facilities, the NIL, he's just done such a great job. And he said as much himself, he needed Ole Miss more than Ole Miss needed him. He said he's had quite the character change over the last three years. So I just want to say how in the, like, I'm sure he's not gutted for another job right now trying to sound like he's not a, I used to be a piece of shit. The city is rallied around him. The team is rallied around him.

The recruiting. He is just such a bright light in the Oxford, Mississippi community that I just, I want to thank him. I hope he hears this breath. And moving forward, he will. Yeah, bro, hey, King. Yeah, he hears this breath. And moving forward, he will. Yeah, bro. Hey, King. Yeah, he will absolutely be just such a gem for that Oxford community.

This is going to be a great clip when he's gone. Can't wait. That's what I said. I said subject to change. Yeah. But reserves the right to amend. What you got for us, Dave? 27th.

You know, I just want to thank i want to thank randy and brett how them look they obviously scream and them all day but but oh hot take alert child abduction in overton texas that coincided really, really creepily with the siren. It really did. They do a lot of stuff behind the scenes that doesn't come to light. Just do the facts. A lot of the new studio, which we all love. I mean, Randy was running point on the wood.

Did a good job there. Randy ran point on pretty much everything. Yeah. In terms of the new studio. I mean, obviously, Randy has not taken the studio wireless like we wanted. We're not doing studio 2.0 yet, but one day we'll be completely wireless and we'll be a wire in the studio that you guaranteed, right? Yep.

Thanks, man. That's the wireless Randy guarantee. He's shaking his head. You can only get that from Randy. Actually, he's nodding his head. Like, yeah. Randy also, I want to give a big thank randy for moving his desk over once that we both have more space where we can just kind of create content and uh just have a lot of elbow space with one another

No, and Brett, thank you for picking up a couple rounds on Friday night. I did a real scumbag move, and I didn't pick one up. We left. Well, Harb's left, and then you left. And then by that time, I was very drunk, and I didn't need any more. So thank you for that. I had a real good round pick up on the golf course in Vegas this this week hell yeah yeah it was it was a good one for i don't want to pour dave out here

but it went me harbs me harbs oh you had numerous opportunities yeah this is on me i'm even willing to venmo there's also uh which i know there's like a Dirty Bills round in there too, which I don't even remember who that was, but that was Harbs. And those are three Miller Lights at Dirty Bills. Again, we went to Dirty Bills at like nine o'clock. Okay. No, earlier than that.

It might've been eight o'clock. It was early. We were the eighth people in Dirty Bills. Do you know anybody there? No. Nice. We weren't the eighth people, Dave. Nobody was coming up to us buying from us. Okay.

I'm going to give a special thank you. Thanks, Brent. To somebody in this, another person. Yeah, I thank you to both Brent and Randy. Dave, you're right. You're welcome. Yeah. I'm going to give a special thank you to someone also in this room, David Ruff, for remembering

the names from White Lotus this season and making it so we can actually do that segment somewhat credibly instead of like last week where we had no credibility at all. Yeah. You know what? I get embarrassed when we talk about a show. It happens in Game of Thrones because Game of Thrones, there's a lot of characters. But this, there's not an excuse.

We're good. We nailed it. This is a snake draft, right? Yeah, you're right. A snake thing? Yes. I'm going to give a special shout out to someone I've never met before. There is someone whose username on Reddit started with the word asteroid.

And she uploaded every single episode of Love Island UK to Reddit this year. And she did it even while on vacation. And she made my life really easy all summer while trying to watch Love Island UK. So I'm going to give a special thank you to the Asteroid Reddit user from the UK. Thank you. Okay. You helped Dylan and I out so nicely. So that's the only way you can watch that show?

There are other ways, but she uploaded everything in crisp HD quality. Was it encrypted? And she did it in a timely fashion. Did you have to unzip it? I did not have to unzip anything. It was on a file hosting site where you could either download the file yourself and watch it, or you could just watch it from that site and press a play button. No ads. Really? Perfect. Perfect person to stalk on the internet. Okay. Okay. Okay. Shouts to Asteroid. Shouts to Asteroid. Dave, you're up.

Ooh, I'm pretty much out. I've got no one else to thank. No, thank you. You know what? Let's thank Dylan. Let's thank Dylan. Why are we thanking that silly little bitch? You know, he's not here today,

and he tends to be the most sentimental of the lads, so he's probably going to be upset that he's not here for the thank bank. Maybe he can tweet out his thanks. I just want to thank him for his new TikTok venture that he's absolutely going to do. I'm not going to tip off what it is now.

I don't like teasing stuff, but I think we should. I think we should force his hand here. Absolutely should. Let's just say it's holiday themed. It's something that you guys are well aware that dylan does yeah what if what if he just instead of doing that on twitter he started doing it on tiktok and there's a really good chance this blows up and we never hear the end of it from

dylan but i just want to ground floor thank him preemptively for doing that it would be humorous in a small way like it would be like four percent humorous if it just completely failed no but it would it would be it would be great if it just blew up and he got a really big head because that's sad that's how we think but it is how but that's why i said like four percent like i don't want it to fail but if it did it'd be kind of funny yeah no you're right there is some comedy in that yeah um kind of like i don't know, an article, satirical article about the founder a week later. That went- It got 3,000 reads.

That went straight by. Maybe up to 3,000 by now. I'm going to thank the reader, and this ties into our earlier conversation about Twitter. The listener Twitter follow that went ahead and just tweeted out Dylan's Deez Nuts tweet on the final, the in quotes, final night of Twitter, just, just to do it. And it did numbers and blew up and it's just, it's, that was a great bit. So shout out to you. I want to thank Dylan for going viral on that, because I have gotten a lot of followers from just recycling that tweet and people thinking that it's actually mine. Yeah. We should honestly make that a thing where we set a calendar

notification and we just, one of us tweets it out anytime like one of the accounts is struggling like any of them just just fire off a tweet too much dip losing followers because landry posted another tech highlight reel then we got to just run the dylan tweet just yeah run it back i just want to thank lane kiffin again stop dude i Dude, shut up. I want to thank specifically Grizz from Twitter, Mirdakis from Twitter. He retweets. And Clint Riddle from Twitter. Those guys are just – they like all my stuff, and thank you.

I see your work does not go unnoticed. Shout out Chris Clarkson. Is it Chris? Yeah, shout out Chris. The number one retweeter in Washington. He's that dude. Is that Grizz? No, Grizz retweets though.

Grizz, dude, he retweets. He's one of one retweeter in Washington. He's that dude. Is that Grizz? No, Grizz retweets, though. Grizz, dude, he retweets. He's one of my favorite Twitter accounts because he backs up what his bio says. He says he retweets, and when you go to his profile, he certified retweets. He does. That's all he does. He does. He retweets. Chris Clarkson, 91, on Twitter.

That dude. He's big into gambling Twitter. So hit him up. He wants to be a guest picker one day. It's no gamble. Isn't Chris Clarkson the lead singer of... You know him, Romans? No, man.

Thank you. I'm not really going to bail you out here. Thank you to Nickel City, a bar on the east side of Austin. Not one of my offices. I don't have any office space running out there. You can't have a laptop open at Nickel City. No one of my offices. I don't have any office space running out there. You can't have a laptop open at Nichols. No, no, no.

You can't. The best wings I've had outside of New York. Okay. That's a big statement there, Brett. They're a Buffalo Bills bar and they backed it up with their wings.

I just want to say I appreciate it. Did y'all get snow in Saratoga? We got a dusting. Is that where Dylan is? Maybe. Saratoga is a little out of the lake effect. Yeah, it's south. Harbor Springs got some dumpage.

You got some dumpage in Harvey Springs? We're not doing Harvey Springs. Three to four feet in some parts of Buffalo. Harvard didn't get three to four, but it got some significant... There was a Hamburg, New York, got 78 inches. How many inches?

78. I'm going to thank all the backers at the meetup who bought me shots despite me having one rule for meetups, which is that I only do one shot. There is one backer who bought a shot who I'm going to give a little less of a thank you to, and it's a dude who just got me a shot of straight vodka.

Don't do that. That was mean. That's not cool. That was gross. That was gross. How aggressive was the dude from Essex's order at the bar? What did he get again? It was gin and tonic,

a Jaeger, and a Red Bull? It was just like, dude, you're doing a little too much, my guy. Yeah, what's up with the gin and tonics flowing on that show last night?

They almost ordered three with Albie. Yeah. Too many. Too many. I'm going to also give a special shout out to anyone who has sent

Dylan a mug because it makes him really happy. I don't know how this happened, but Dylan just is obsessed with his mugs and his coffee now. Yeah. I also want to give a special shout out to anyone who sent Dave and I mugs. Yeah. Just a little note.

If you want Dylan to have the mug, we don't assume that it's his. Now, he might, but you have to put attention, A-T-T-N, Dylan. I'm a big care of guy. C slash go sure and be very specific because you know otherwise

Will and I are gonna be like oh okay I guess it's your mug and we're gonna be passive aggressive about it for probably the next day or two I've got only one mug sent to me

and I have to say out of all the mugs that have been sent to this office this mug is my favorite hands down mug that we've gotten not even close

I bet on them. What are those? 10,000 to one?

I put on, I think it's 20 much to win 4,000. Why wouldn't you? You got to sprinkle. Yeah, you got to. You understand what I mean by sprinkle? You got to sprinkle a little bit. You got to sprinkle. The world was wondering, did you run into our man at the Cosmo Bar?

So bad news. Bad news. I didn't even get the opportunity to. The night that I was going to was a night where I ended up coming down with a slight stomach issue that sidelined me until yesterday. And so not only did that cut the vacation short, we came home two days early, which is why we're recording today. But it also solidified that I was not going to be able to make it to go find our friend, the Cosmo bartender. I was in his presence. I could feel it.

I could feel a different kind of buzz going throughout the entire casino, but I did not get to see him. I wanted to introduce him to Fritz. Something I did do, Dave, is I took a photo in front of a very famous landmark in the Cosmo. I took this photo because there's another... I took a photo with my son, as it means a lot to me, but the previous photo that was taken of me there was with a good friend of ours, Flounder. He's patting me on the back while I throw up into a trash can. Have we released that photo?

No, and now I took a photo with Fritz in front of the exact same trash can. Really? Yeah. You've grown so much in that time. I don't think I've seen that photo. Flounder's also wearing a velour tracksuit. There are many photos with him in that tracksuit that have not seen the light of day. I was walking, I looked over and I saw the trash can.

I thought, oh, Sally, can you get a picture of me in front of this trash can? And she was like, what, what are you doing right now? Nice. Yeah. That's a, that's a good photo. One day, maybe one day. Yeah. Going back into the, the, or going back into like the, the whole like scenario of being at that same hotel of Dylan's bachelor party where I stayed, there were some moments

that I just wanted to sprint out of there and not look back. Yeah. Did the white Lotus music start kind of, yeah. I stepped in the high rollers lounge and like the white Lotus music started playing and I was just like, I got to get out of here. Did you gamble at all? Nope. Not $1. Nothing. Good for you. Sally was going to put down a bunch of world cup bets for me, but she informed me on the plane ride home, oh, I never did that. I thought, oh, I really hope that none of the teams I gave you win anything. Oh, damn.

You want to update on Senegal, Netherlands? Nil-nil. Okay. Great game to record during. Hey, thank you to everybody out there. Well, let's talk real quick about this thanksgiving in front in front i messed that up uh presented by our good friends over at early bird cbd early bird gummies are a recreational hemp product that contain around two and a half milligrams

of natural thc and around 12 and a half milligrams of cbd in each gummy these are formulated for fun and to make you feel good. If there's ever a time to stock up on some early bird, it's right before Thanksgiving. Are you kidding me? You're at home with the fam, and you're just like, oh my God, I'm tired of answering these questions. I need an early bird just to chill out a little bit.

Just absolutely vibe on the couch. You're done with your meal at night, and you're feeling like real bad about yourself pop an early bird i bet i bet you'll start feeling a lot better real quick this will be a big a big part of my thanksgiving break and i want to thank early bird because i've been all in on them and it definitely my sleep quality has improved that is facts i track it dave does track it i'm big in the weeds in the analytics. And shout out to early bird, man. It's the best.

Big in the weeds. Do you still have a whoop or is it the Nubit ring? Whoop. It is the whoop. Whoop. Okay. That's good, Brett. I couldn't give a straight face.

Last night we were sitting on the couch finishing White Lotus and Sally looked over at me with just dread on her face and she said, I need an early bird. Sundays will do that to you. We got her an early bird, and she slept like a baby last night. She even told me this morning, I was zonked. Not zooted. She might have been zooted when she fell asleep, but she zonked out.

I realize, by the way, this Sunday Scaries hits worst with the 60 Minutes, and PFT tweeted about this, realized my pavlovian response it's the 60 minutes ticker yeah yeah that is a trick we've known that for years okay yeah and that's where early bird comes in fantastically go scoop some earlybirdcbd.com promo code backer this is a new promo code for the circling back podcast so if you've already used our promo code before you know that it's a single use code if you didn't load up now's the time go to earlybirdcbd.com use code backer for 20 off this is a single use code but it's a new code so if you've already

Saturday at 3 in Pflugerville, which is just a little burb right outside of Austin. And I might try to go to that. I'm from the Pflugerville. Really?

I'm proud. Sure, thanks. You're not from there. You're from Northern Michigan. Harbor Springs, actually. Battle of the Springs coming 2023. I've got a pretty low maintenance Thanksgiving. This year is a little different.

I'm only doing one on actual, one actual Thanksgiving on the day of Thanksgiving, because in the past we've done lunch at my in-laws and then dinner at my parents. And it's basically the same meal twice, just cooked differently. And I feel like I never really get to fully enjoy either meal because either I'm either full for the dinner or I'm worried about being full. So I kind of, this frees me up. My parents are picking up a smoked turkey. They're not doing it this year. Just picking up a smoked one from a noted barbecue joint, Pecan Lodge in Dallas. Great spot. And I'm very, very excited. The real heroes out there are the ones that have to pack in two Thanksgivings in one day. Yeah. don't know how you i've never done it before i have no desire to do it

i feel like i'd be second guessing everything like wait these these potatoes are really good should i go all in on these right now or the potatoes tonight gonna be even better i lean protein in that scenario and and you're leaving a lot to be desired but it is what it is uh of course on thanksgiving um i will there's no doubt i will be um disappointed as i'm sure the giants are going to come into town and just all the good mojo the boys have rolling out of sunday we didn't do any favors this weekend no yeah you did y'all won that game yeah but we we might have riled them up a little bit it's gonna be about the bounce back oh yeah yeah you did fucking dan campbell dude watch out for these lines are these boys good didn't Y'all won that game. Yeah, but we might have riled them up a little bit. It's going to be the bounce back effect. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

You did. Fucking Dan Campbell. Dude, watch out for these lines. Four wins. Are these boys good? Didn't I tell you they were going to win seven games? I don't know. They look good. Yeah.

They stomped them out yesterday. And that's it. Oh, yeah. Since we didn't really do it this weekend in fun, I just want to say, this weekend in fun. I just want to say under three soccer practice

in quotes soccer training goes about as well as you think. Yeah, I can't imagine it would. 18 months to three months and it's not like

an organized game. You go out there on the little turf with them and they do drills. They do drills. And it's yes, it's hilarious

but it's also like what are we doing yeah i mean i'm probably gonna put first to that you should it's it is fun it's fun but like was that was that rhodes's first sporting event yes okay he's got kind of a swing on him if i remember correctly like a golf swing he's got something okay yeah he's got a pdf that he learned it from yeah i can lend it to him right he's right yeah he's chasing lag with brett he's been falling here his first his first birthday party yes i got him what do you got brett i'll be out of town uh this upcoming weekend in atlanta doing thanksgiving with some friends over there i wanted to be out of Austin, out of home,

first Thanksgiving without the kind of the parents thing is going to be weird. So I figured go to like a neutral site. I like that move for you, Brett. I'll be making my dad's mac and cheese. Oh, yeah. Which is bomb. And I will be watching World Cup soccer.

And probably drinking a lot of bourbon and wine and getting fits off in the process. Love to hear that. Sounds perfect. Are there beans in that mac and cheese, though? No, absolutely not. It would be weird, wouldn't it? Nobody does that.

Nope. Not in Texas. No, hell no. Not in Texas. Used to do some cut-up hot dogs in mac and cheese, though. Remember that? I know that move. We were in Las Vegas this weekend, like we talked about,

and we started talking about the pronunciation of the word that is spelled C-R-A-Y-O-N. We don't need to get into that pronunciation here, but some people say crayon, some people say crayon, some people say crown. Oh, that's disgusting. And one of my brother-in-law's friends from a table over at the dinner just yelled over to me, Move to Texas. We'll teach you how to talk. And I couldn't stop saying that all night. I really enjoyed that for some reason.

We'll teach you how to talk. Wow. What's your deal, bud? You taught the world how to eat too? I think they did. Yeah. Texas famously. Well, man, that's going to be, I'm happy for you. Exciting. Exciting stuff. I will be back on Sunday. You should do an impromptu meetup. We've got a lot of listeners. ATL? Just you.

Okay. Rhett and Buckhead. Actually, I might get an actual drink with Ricky. You better. I know I am. I was just going to say, you got to go hit up Ricky Propper. I'm still not convinced he's a real person and not like an AI. I can confirm.

I talked to him on the phone, but when we had a Zoom call with Ricky, he didn't use his camera. A little sus. Hey, speaking of Zoom calls and cameras, we did from 10 to noon a baptism class on a Zoom call Saturday. 10 to noon? Well, it was supposed to be 10 to noon.

It only went like 45 minutes. That's a long Zoom. It was like eight couples and then like the lady from the church and she was like she you know she was looking for participation and she would be like so what what was your um favorite part of the video like and it would just be dead silent dude i can't even imagine i was like so i was on screen sitting next to a list so we used the same device and i would like slide out of frame because i was just like oh i couldn't do it i couldn't do it i don't anyone out there whose

job relies on just zoom call after zoom call every day dude good for you i guess i'm glad there's people in the world that can take those jobs and not leave them to people like me i was i was acting like so roads was running around, and anytime she asked a question, I would fake like he was doing something, and I would be like, oh, yeah, oh, oh, oh. Oh, my God. Yeah. Oh, no. Also, I was pretty hungover at dinner. Yeah, what does a baptism class entail, I guess?

It's just kind of getting you ready for the sacrament. Right. You just dunk them? What, Raman? Like a dunkaroo? Dunkaroo? Something like that. Yeah.

Don't say dunkaroo. Yeah, it's a little dunkaroo. They're lots of fun for me and yous. Really good. Real ones now. Snack dessert. Sneaky. It is.

They said they opened at three. The online ordering system was offline until after four o'clock. Ah, that's too good. Devastating. Russian hackers. I was waiting there all day for it. Yeah. Waiting all day for Indian food.

What kind of soup? It's like a tomato based soup with a lot of Indian spices in it. I had it one time and it stuck with me and I was just desperate for it last night. Never got it. Had to go to Central Market and get the pre-made soups. You know what my issue is with chili? And it's not that I don't like chili. What a callback.

It is the... It's a good circle back. It is the... Just a spoonful of ground... I think ground beef is the least aesthetically pleasing meat. That's why brisket chili is hit. Yes, exactly. I love a brisket chili.

But just the ground beef, I don't like when ground beef is very chunky and you bite into it and It's a chunky piece. That's it. That's it. I'm not too good for chili. I still will eat it. When it's done right, it's awesome.

But that is my issue and I apologize. Circling back chili cook-off video. Can we do it? Yeah, we could. Okay. I'd lose. Who's going to sponsor it? Who are you selling it to?

I mean, probably we could just do it. I feel like Solo Stove would want that. They could. Oh, yeah. It's great Solo Stove weather. I'm going to have a parting thought today for everyone out there. I do think some chilies will be made this weekend for people. If you're eating chili at someone else's house this weekend,

be a good house guest and clean your spoon off yourself with a sponge. Don't leave that with somebody else to clean off because there will be hardened cheese on there and you don't want the host to have to scrub your hardened cheese off of your spoon you're saying hardened hard what yeah you sure yeah what what chili is a lot of hardened cheese when you put the cheese on there and it gets all melty in the chili yeah and people start eating it some of that cheese will stick on the spoons and if you're not careful it'll linger there for a long time. It will harden, and it'll be very hard for the host to get off when they're doing dishes later that night.

Or, if you're a host out there, kill the environment and use plastic spoons. It'll make your life easier. Hey. Kill you in the name of chili. Or just do this method, tried and true. It's great for the host too.

If there's a bowl in there, get a little dish detergent, squirt it in the bowl, turn the water on, fill it up so where it's like the soapy water, and then just put the spoon in there. And then the host will take care of it later on. Yeah, and then tell them you're letting it soak until somebody else cleans up the entire situation. Oh, it's in there. It's soaking, so it's easier to clean.

Have you been hanging out with Sally? No way. Yeah. There might be some dude named like Otis or something who, uh, sends in an email about people soaking dishes to the mail-in soon. Oh, I'll yeah. I, I, I, uh, am the, what's it called? The, uh, I was gonna say the purveyor, but that's not it. The overlord? No, the curator of that email. So, yeah, I'll look out for that one. Very cool.

We went like almost an hour and a half today. Good for us. I kind of want to get there. Like let's, let's, we have, should we go full hundo minutes? We have another.

You guys doing pies or pumpkin? Pumpkin. Okay. I think we're picking up some pecan pies as well. Sure. That's a good idea. We're straight up pumpkin. Yeah, we're gonna do pumpkin and then pick up some pecans. You know what though?

My parents, they'll mix in a tiramisu. Shout out to the cheesecake at Carbone. Best thing on the menu. Good atmosphere. Better Italian food other places. Oh, interesting. Okay. I do want to try a Carbone at some.
