Well, we're friends with Brody.

Starting point is 00:01:38 Would you approach Disick? Didn't he punch a mirror one time? I don't know. To be honest, out of everyone you can approach in that crew i feel like disick would be one of the people that might actually talk to you but he's out right like he's not yeah it was blood it was a blood out situation i think courtney finally had enough of his shit and just dumped his ass yeah do you guys know that he's got a clothing brand no do you know what it's called so you don't know what it's called is it hollister it's called talentless that's cool i mean if you're gonna name something you know what
Starting point is 00:02:10 i respect that might as well go full self self-aware with it yeah i respect that a lot we should just rename this podcast no we have i have talent i see a lot of talent myself when i look in the mirror david. Are you okay? No. Okay. Dylan Chivary, ladies and gentlemen. Hey, man. Super happy to be here. You guys look refreshed, looking good.
Starting point is 00:02:32 Dave's sipping that bing bong over there. Look, Brett went to some kind of ranch situation over the weekend. New York City? And apparently he had himself a little time. He learned how to work a shotgun for the first time and he's he's really cocky he's the kind of guy who doesn't pick up his shells oh no way he's so cocky about it um i guarantee you didn't clean that shotgun either by the way no he he probably didn't uh clean up his shells after a rally around the family but he's already talking a lot of booty
Starting point is 00:03:03 chatter he he goes i didn't miss a single clay he's he's like there's no way that's possible he goes okay i went like 98 he sent a text to our friend uh intern klein who has a some he has a ranch his family does and he wants to go he wants to challenge dave and i to a uh a skeet shoot off it's just like he wants to out texas us you can't out skeet me so i guess we're not going to bring our wives on this trip uh yeah he wants to out texas us and i don't think i sorry well appreciate what he's doing it's not a skeetly do competition skeetly b it's not a skeetly b comp i'm not i'm not i'm not a great shot by any means but he came in here with his chest
Starting point is 00:03:46 puffed out this ends with like us actually doing this and brett accidentally like shooting somebody yeah like shooting someone in the arm like does it it just grazes the arm is he gonna dick cheney somebody yeah yeah tell his face shot i could easily see him inadvertently just accidentally shooting someone in a non-lethal way yeah that's just poor discipline you can't you don't shoot if there's somebody right there especially if like their face is within uh mere feet of your shotgun earlier i said dave and i when the proper thing would have been dave and me and it's going to bother me for the rest of this podcast so i just wanted to at least nobody cares the proper way is what you just said but like the respectful way would have been including
Starting point is 00:04:24 me in that conversation as well. He didn't challenge all three of us. You did kind of take that L. That was a subtle L. I'm kind of an outsider these days. It's okay. I'll get back in. We went to dinner.
Starting point is 00:04:36 I want to bring him down a peg or two. That's what I'm trying to say. Gross. Not like that, man. Not everything can be gross. You't like a good monday morning peg joke the second of the morning actually did i miss a peg joke it wasn't really a joke but no i was sending a text earlier to somebody and uh it was trying to auto correct a word i was doing to the word peg and had it actually done that and i would have pressed send without reviewing the text i would have had some splaining to do yeah some would
Starting point is 00:05:10 have been a real lucy ricky situation because your boy would have been splaining yeah emphasis on the former i don't know lucy i don't know the difference between the former and the latter in that situation it's always kind of escaped me. It's okay. Lucy, I'm home. Were your parents big I love Lucy people? My parents were. My dad had every single episode on VHS.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Every single episode. She was kind of bad, wasn't she? I don't know. Lucy? Yeah, she was kind of bad. I mean, yeah. I was more of an Ethel guy. Really? I think it was low-key kind of bad. I mean, yeah. I was more of an Ethel guy. Really?
Starting point is 00:05:49 I thought it was low-key kind of bad. I'm not familiar with her game. You could tell she was a freak, though. Really? Yeah. Actually, the palm trees that Sally and I got married underneath in California were called Lucy and Desi. Not a lot of palm trees out there are actually named. People don't realize that. I think Lucy was a babe.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Do you think? It's hard to say because it's in black and white, like a lot, you know, the show was. But this is in the black and white situation. Megabay. I don't know. Let's not undersell how much of a catch Desi was, though. How many? But this isn't a black and white situation. Mega bang. I don't know. Let's not undersell how much of a catch Desi was, though.
Starting point is 00:06:28 How many? Ricky was hot. How many beers for Lucy? I'd talk to her sober at a bar. Yeah, for sure. I'd be nervous, but I'd do it. Yeah, I'd be nervous. They were calling me Lucille Baller for a time.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Why? That was when I was running point on the ninth grade in the freshman basketball team. I hurt my knee and the coach didn't like me, so I didn't continue playing. I thought you quit so you could join the ski team and talk to girls instead. You would have gone D1 if the coach liked you? No, probably.
Starting point is 00:06:57 I mean, I could have walked on. I had some interest from a few schools. But it's not a big deal. Can you name those schools are you allowed to or uh yeah um like what's the most north carolina oh wow really i thought you're gonna say something else uh yeah i didn't i didn't quite have the grades to to get looked at by duke but coach coach k came to a couple of games i was like hey man you need to study a little harder we can maybe offer you a ride and i was like coach i'm gonna keep doing me you know mj went there north carolina yeah right pd pablo

Starting point is 00:08:30 favorite Dylan is so averse to mushrooms that it makes me like eating mushrooms even more why do you hate mushrooms they're disgusting this is the most third grader take you have it's a slimy fungus like Like, why would I eat it? Watch out for those fungi. Fungies. You think that eating like an animal that was brutally slaughtered on like a mass scale, you think that's less icky than eating a mushroom out of the ground? The texture and the taste is far superior to that of a mushroom.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Dylan is a big advocate of factory farms. I saw him. I was actually at Central market the other day and i walked up to the fish counter and he said yeah do you actually have any uh farm raised it's not true he's like i see that you guys have this free range chicken um do you have any like where like they keep the chickens in like a like on top of each other in tiny tiny cages caged chicken yeah do you have any i just like how it tastes yeah i like feeling i like feeling the struggle of the meat that's so twisted man yeah it's freaking that's what you get with me sometimes though man i'm

I'll get mine out of the way pretty quickly as it was a pretty low-key weekend for your boy. Didn't do a whole lot. Not much to speak of. I think Dave's taking a little siesta while I'm talking about this.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Pretty rude. Also, thumbnail chasing. Not a big deal. Yeah, that's cold. That's a cold-ass thumbnail, actually. Yeah, it did go to home slice over the weekend. It's kind of the highlight. No, that's not true.
Starting point is 00:14:44 Yesterday was the highlight. I went down to San Marcos. My sister. Hell, yeah. Day drinking on the weekend. It's kind of the highlight. No, that's not true. Yesterday was the highlight. I went down to San Marcos. My sister. Hell, yeah. Day drinking on the square. Nice. My little niece lived down there. Went to go visit them.

Starting point is 00:15:08 Weirdly, I didn't go to the frat house, Dave. Those kids are always weird. You didn't pop over and just see what's going on? Those spring kids usually suck. Hey, what's up, Dorn? We may not even take one next year. Hey, fall class 02, what's up with it? Did you all see the story that I had in the rundown today but took out of the rundown?
Starting point is 00:15:24 Why'd you take it out? Well, the headline itself, I was like, that's pretty frat. And then the more I read it, I was like, I don't know. That's not very frat. Can we just share the headline? The headline was that there was a kid who ate a bus seat. Is he alive? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:39 What frat was he in? Well, it made it sound like he ate the whole bus seat, which I thought was kind of frat because pledges do that all the time. It's very frat. But as it turned out, he just gnawed on it and then took a chunk out of it and got fined $200. No cap. That's a terrible story. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:52 I was like, why did the BBC report on this? This is not a good story. I'm not ever going to eat a – A what? I don't care if I was a legacy pledge and I was just so into it. If they made me eat a freaking couch with my pledge brothers,'d be like no i'm not doing it hey it's couch eating season i'm not doing it no you got it no you you you start it and you eat like a ton of the the padding i think that's the move you eat that's where you go with the padding the padding yeah
Starting point is 00:16:19 do you think it affects your gut biome talk about your tum tum issues man i don't feel like that's that foam in there is not going to be yeah but you don't want to be the pledge who takes forever and then you get like the wood framing part of it like you don't want to be that guy yeah you don't need the wood framing because like like that like that hey that fake leather that faux leather you should throw a foam party for your 40th i went to one foam party ever they're awful and it was the most miserable thing i've ever been to in my life. They suck. It's the worst thing that the late 90s ever did.
Starting point is 00:16:49 I went to one single phone party as well. They're filth. I went to one single phone party, and I lost my favorite winter hat at that phone party. It's forever made me hate phone parties. Guess where I lost it? Wait. In the phone. You were wearing a winter hat, so it was cold.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Yeah, it was cold. Hey, people are hooking up in that phone. Oh, for sure. Hands are wandering. In the foam. You were wearing a winter hat, so it was cold. Yeah, it was cold. Hey, people are hooking up in that foam. Oh, for sure. Hands are wandering. For sure are. Under that. I remember being like, damn, dude, I'm in college, and I'm at a foam party. Like, I made it.
Starting point is 00:17:15 And then I lost my favorite hat. Dude, my life is like Van Wilder. Yeah. That's what you would always say. I would always say that. You're like, I'm kind of like the Van Wilder of this school. Yeah, I would. The new pledges come in. What's up? Dorn. Yeah, Dorn. I would always say that. You're like, I'm kind of like the Van Wilder of this school. Yeah, I would. The new pledges come in.

Starting point is 00:17:59 So it's good. Dave's all about it. More on that tomorrow. Anyway, Dave, how about your weekend, man? I'm sure it was really cool. I did not eat pizza. I still have your Zocard. Dude, I've been trying to play my Zocard all 2023,
Starting point is 00:18:13 and I've gotten shot down numerous times. I wanted to play it last night, and Alyssa, my wife, hit me with a, sure you don't want to, she literally goes, sure you don't want to play it tomorrow for the game? And I was like, that's why I married you. Wow.
Starting point is 00:18:28 I can't quit you. She's got your front, your back, and your center, David. She's a real keeper out there. You got to hold on to her as long as you can. We did not eat pizza, but Friday. Are you going to do it tonight? Are you going to do it tonight? I am.

Starting point is 00:19:07 I don't have that dog in me today he's going for it he's not doing great he's taking all the shots he's having a Trevor Lawrence first half can I give you my take
Starting point is 00:19:14 on the menu I wouldn't want to be you in the second half that player I thought the menu was fun I thought it was good I didn't think it was great
Starting point is 00:19:20 but I did enjoy it and it was a nice way to spend a Friday yeah the sous chef scene did – what was your reaction? Yeah, fast forward to 24 minutes if you don't want to hear any spoilies right now. 24 minutes is where I can guarantee that we will be done talking about the menu. I kind of knew what was about to happen.
Starting point is 00:19:39 I was very responsible of you just now. I kind of – the buildup was there – was such that I was like, either this guy's gonna do it to himself or uh tom ridley was gonna do him oh man i was not expecting it and uh jaw on the floor facts i'm gonna i'm gonna keep a ranking of movies for myself this year that's my fun ranking and i think i think the menu is currently the number one in the power fun just fun just fun like yeah not i'm not talking like best movie if you have a movie of the year whatever though i'm talking like that was fun we had a good time what was the line you said last week
Starting point is 00:20:14 about going to brown and he's like did you go to college yeah i went to brown you have student loans no you're gonna die tonight i was like fuck yeah dude yeah definitely kill the people that don't have student loans i actually agree with that it was kind of a cosmic gumbo we were saying that as we were watching sure uh john leguizamo possibly my favorite character well that and the food the food critic was great too the food critic the food critic couple was my favorite they were they were dynamite what's the young lady's name that was a queen's gambit that actress? Anya Taylor-Joy. She's great. Also, final season of Peaky Blinders, final couple.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Bloody crime scene. They're doing the thing because she's very hot right now. She's trending upwards. She's talented. If you go do a rewatch of a Peaky Blinders episode on Netflix, they have Cillian Murphy. Tommy. Tommy!
Starting point is 00:21:07 And her behind him even though she's not really in the entire series that much important character the last couple seasons but it's like I see what you're doing you're capitalizing on this and that's what the Golden Globes are doing as well she was nominated for a Golden Globe for her work in the menu out of everyone in that movie I don't think she
Starting point is 00:21:24 was far and away better than anybody else in that movie i don't think she was far and away better than anybody else in that movie like i thought it was a very good ensemble cast food critic give it to her give her the fire she was good what else did i do this weekend oh i know i brought the uh the fam we linked up with uh will's fam plus barrett, plus Sally's friend, whose child I misnamed. It's okay. Dave heard the name. I did. Dave took a shot downfield when we first sat down at the dinner.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Did you Quinn you? And said, so how old is... Do you want to say? I said, how old is Chad? That kid's name is definitely not Chad. Is it close? No. It's Chad. Is it close? No. It's Jack.
Starting point is 00:22:07 And Sally, I think Sally realized what happened, and she tried to, like, step in and be like, Dave, Jack is blah, blah, blah. Like, she said something, and I could tell she was, like, subtly trying. She heard and didn't know if her friend had heard. And I was like, I just, like, I was like, look, straight up. I just beefed your name. I thought your kid's name was Chad. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:22:27 What's up, Chad? Dude, it's hard remembering kids' names, though, because like adults and stuff, like you've seen them on Instagram and stuff. If you're golfing with somebody that you just met, you can write their name on the scorecard. It makes it real easy to remember these things. That's how you remember people's names?
Starting point is 00:22:40 Playing golf? 100%. 100%. Yeah. Clark's got the green hat on i'm so bad about forgetting someone's name one second after they tell me what it is yeah and when it's a baby and you can't even confirm what was your name because when when the old you know baby you can't associate like personality with their identity because they don't really have much of one yet it's like just a little baby wow they don't i bet you don't forget beautiful baby's names
Starting point is 00:23:06 i certainly do not you got that rolodex oh yeah yeah we went to el rancho and we had a great time good really good food it was good it was like high quality uh no i went skinny marg and then i switched over to pacifico damn i thought you'd been looking hella trim lately. You beefed it. You're in a cutting phase. And then Barrett and I, we'll bail. We went to Kelly's. I know.
Starting point is 00:23:33 You bailed, too. I'm upset I missed it. I kind of had to. You know what? You know what? I'm not going to give any other info, but none other than Dan Register came by for a quick beer before he went out. Formerly of Sup's Dog.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Correct. Right. Old Danny Regs. So that was it. Yesterday was a big stay in, watch some football. Hey, Dan, go ahead and plug your podcast, man. Sup's Dog. All right, cool.
Starting point is 00:24:01 I'm sure people are going to be lining up to listen. Was that it, say, by the brunch? I want to say that was in florida i think it was said by the brunch okay that concludes my weekend can you beat that can you be that lit weekend no your boy broke dry january on friday night didn't feel good about it was uh feeling a little lackluster before heading out to dinner with some friends and uh decided to make a coffee and then i saw in my liquor cabinet i had this coffee liqueur and i was like you know what i'm gonna make a little nitro glue no it's called mr black this is non-spa. I will say I did get the bottle for free from Mr. Black. They sent it to me probably a year and a half ago. It's made, it tastes just like cold brew,
Starting point is 00:24:51 but it has way less sugar than most other coffee liqueurs out there. Is this an ad read? No, I'm telling you guys, this is gas.

Let me just tell you that. Yeah. It's the same friend who had the Arcanarcus cook. You know what? It's really funny you say that because it absolutely is.
Starting point is 00:29:36 I mean, that's just how it works, Dave. We don't make the rules. The universe does. Dave, you burn regs, which is even lower than mid. Dude, you're a Reggie guy? I've been calling you Reggie Miller behind your back, dude. I don't discriminate, man. I'll smoke whatever.

Now, I'm going to go ahead and tell you, this story has a happy ending.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Nova was found. However, however, this clouded leopard either tried to escape or had some help because there was a hole cut in the fence of her enclosure and it was tampered with is what i'm telling you and this it's not the first time this has happened and i read this morning that somebody was tampering with a monkey's cage so we don't know if this was like an inside job type deal or what but something's going on and i don't like it i don't like you messing with the animals what was the exact type of animal that did escape a clouded clouded leopard which is a beautiful animal is there any i saw on reddit uh that they found a whittled down toothbrush uh in the clouded leopards you know cage a shank
Starting point is 00:33:48 yeah and uh that maybe had been whittling away at the at the the side wall for a little bit maybe the monkeys were able to escape and they used a knife or some kind of like wire cutters to free this cloud leopard because they have thumbs as we know so they're able to maneuver such a tool you're so hyper aware of which animals have thumbs and which ones don't it's not many do you understand how important thumbs are yeah i have two of them yeah not if you not the flex and if you didn't your life would be if you didn't you wouldn't be able to goose eugene i wouldn't make excuses about it though you know because i'm different you would just grind harder exactly exactly my favorite part of this story um other than the content we are no doubt going
Starting point is 00:34:35 to get out of it is um they looked all day and then they found her like right outside of her of her enclosure didn't they say that i don's just hanging out. She's like, I'm right here. The weirdest thing about the entire thing in the beginning was when they said that it was not a dangerous situation. It clearly felt dangerous. Here's the thing. Was it a juvenile cat? No.
Starting point is 00:34:55 No, I don't believe so. But it is considered a non-dangerous animal because it's not aggressive. That being said, even though this animal, which ranges from about 25 pounds to 50 pounds i think nova was around 25 to 30 wow it's a supernova i don't i understand why they had to close down the zoo because even though i do believe that i could take it i could take a clouded leopard no doubt i don't want to get that i don't really want to get fucked up like because i'm gonna get some scratches and it's gonna ruin my day probably my week maybe even the entire quarter are you
Starting point is 00:35:29 sure you could take a cry of leopard yeah why 25 pounds that's a vicious 25 that's a fast 25 pounds 50 pound one like all right look out of everyone to question you here, Dylan. Okay. Very interesting that he's questioning you here. The cheat is much larger. Jackie Chan or Claude Leppard, which one are you more confident against? Jackie Chan. Doubling down on Jackie?
Starting point is 00:35:58 What? He's a senior citizen. No, he's 68. Aren't seniors like technically 70? I mean, maybe they moved to the retirement age. I don't know that was 69 might be so um and that's not a knock on jackie it's just that you know your skills slip after 65 so you think a clouded leopard could kill jackie chan oh that's a fun look i don't want to see that happen, but I'd watch. I'd probably illegally stream that fight.
Starting point is 00:36:30 Maybe we can get Dazon to do it. If you work at the zoo and you show up to work and it's like, hey, by the way, don't go in yet. There's a leopard. Bro, Nova's gone. There's a leopard out the cage. Like, that's an exciting day at work, you know? It's like, oh, this is going to be different. We get to track down this leopard.
Starting point is 00:36:49 It's like being in a Jurassic Park on, like, the smallest scale. Right. Yes. It's like you're, like, if I sit in this office all day, I know I'm going to be just fine. Instead of velociraptors, it's a cute little clouded leopard. But you still have, like, a really small chance that you're sitting in that office, and you look through the window, and you just see this leopard see this leopard like hey you guys hear nova got out of the cage yeah yeah it's a serious situation the dpd i don't know why i said it like that dallas police um
Starting point is 00:37:15 provided some infrared drones to help find uh that's sick it's pretty sick is that necessary no no but it's when that one cop was sitting there he's like oh hold on dude we got remember we got those infrared drone dude we can finally use the infrared drones let's go out there let's go to the zoo right now yeah sounds like they need us how'd they catch it it was just sitting there i don't know if it was it wasn't like anybody before it was like it was just i leaned up against the wall smoking a cig drinking a lemon chill will ask did it kill anybody before they found no i think we would know if i was if i was the twitter admin for the uh dallas zoo and we we safely captured this like you gotta you gotta
Starting point is 00:38:00 talk a little smack toward the cincinnati time, right? Be like, hey, see how you handle your animals, guys? Dallas Zoo doesn't have the best record, as Dallas police had to put down a gorilla named Jabari that escaped there 15 years ago. Should we free Jabari from heaven? Okay. Should we make Jabari live again, sure? We missed that. Yeah, I think that was pre-Twitter, unfortunately.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Yeah, Jabari's name name gone but not forgotten shout out to the dude on twitter said we need a name how else are we going to print it on a shirt that's a good point it's a good point man if we're going to make these shirts will's going to get a hundred dollars i do i do need to get my crisp c note for coming up with a cincinnati harambe shirt but nova's safe and um i don't know it's it's weird i don't really like that there are people trying to steal these exotic animals which zoo um houses or housed uh valerio our our dear friend who wasn't that nolan's was it i don't know because i bet they kept quiet on on twitter it was new orleans i think he's still doing his thing out there valerio yeah what you think like escaped or you think valerio's back no i think he's still at the zoo like you can go visit he's probably like
Starting point is 00:39:18 this is the best behave he's ever been because he got that he got that taste of blood as he did kill like 18 alpacas and now he's like you know what i just he only he only killed nine okay okay he only killed nine animals at the zoo i can't believe they kept him alive i mean i'm actually impressed also an emu and three foxes you say that uh no an emu and three foxes as well 160 pounds yeah the layer doesn't fuck around dude that's when people hear when people saw a clouded jag or a clouded leopard i think they immediately went to like a cat of the jaguar stature it's much smaller valerio and real ones already know who valerio is but valerio chewed through stainless steel wire barrier on the roof to escape. That's how he got out.
Starting point is 00:40:06 Yeah, he's different. Yeah. He's different. He just wanted to take fools out. He did. Valerio's essentially like the El Chapo of this operation. And all the other ones are just the posers. That's a great comparison.
Starting point is 00:40:21 So you think it would be like an exotic animal collector that would be trying to let these animals out of the zoo? Maybe somebody who wanted to sell it on the black market. Man. Why? Okay. If you're going to cut the hole in, why don't you just put like a bone-in ribeye right there
Starting point is 00:40:40 and just lure it out right there? Do you want the names of the alpacas foxes and the emu that it fell victim to valeria i would like to know the name this is going to be sad the alpacas were noel michia alexandria daisy and little melody emu was named elmo and the foxes were copper rusty and maggie may r.i.p to oh man i don't know which one hit me the hardest you got for some reason because you know the foxes probably put up a decent effort if they were together dave no it was it was a losing battle it was a lost cause but you know you don't fuck around the fox if you see one i can take a fox but i don't want to fight fox is like the size of a beagle you know they're very fast
Starting point is 00:41:19 and if they're in why you gotta do beagles like that it's not a threat we got a lot of beagle listeners out there that are just like looking at the screen right now. If a fox is attacking me, like I'm not that concerned. I'm like, come on, man. You should be.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Rabies and whatnot. I'm just gonna like kick them. A fox? I don't know, man. Foxes are cute, man. Yeah, but you can tell how... They're sharp little bastards. They're very fast.
Starting point is 00:41:40 You can tell their teeth are just gonna... The point is, I don't really wanna walk into any of these animals point is i don't really want to walk into any of these animals like i don't really want to run into it if i'm at the zoo and while i'm not necessarily scared of a face-to-face with the clouded uh what is it clouded leopard like the it's just gonna be i'm gonna have to wear band-aids and stuff because it's gonna get its licks in before i uh put it put it down with a power bomb what's up you're gonna power bomb the
Starting point is 00:42:06 the clouded leopard yeah maybe moonsault i started looking at images of this clouded leopard like if i'm being honest they kind of just look like big cats they're cute and i don't mean big cats i mean like a big cat yeah it's a beautiful animal facts what i need to get i need to get a better idea for the range of predatory cats out there like i'm not very good with the size like i can't identify immediately the the size of a cat if you guys say the name i don't know the difference between like a jaguar and a leopard so a jaguar is like the pit bull of the cat family like it's not the biggest so they're all over the world it's right it's not as big as a tiger obviously that's good yeah but like it's stout it's thick and it's it's got a
Starting point is 00:42:51 a very strong bite badass everybody knows the rules it's slim thick too with the cute ass cute straight up dumper yeah jags are sick man well if i were a big cat what kind would i be the clotted leopard okay that makes sense not threatening q no you know what i'm gonna give you more credit you'd be a links a links oh good god no man i don't know if i give them links dude just give me links man i don't have a lot to live for right now like i got these dave's uh oh yeah because they got the beard dude dave's a puma. I'll take that. A puma.
Starting point is 00:43:32 Bro, the Puma Kings, if you were playing soccer in third grade and you had Puma Kings, you were a player. Yeah, dude, I am a Lynx, David, because they got the beard and everything, you know? Like, thank you, David. He was trying to wrong me by calling me a clotted leopard. I also said that's a beautiful animal earlier. You don't think I got love for your shit? said that's a beautiful animal earlier you don't you know i got love for your you hear about this beautiful animal out of tennessee who was just getting absolutely wild in the precinct oh okay we've switched stories here it's a hard pivot i'm sorry i did it's to be honest this would normally be a headline story if we didn't have like you know big cats escaping from zoos yeah it seemed that
Starting point is 00:44:08 they uh tell us about it what happened will uh i don't know where to start uh there's a lot of information here none of this is uh for the for the the ears of children so if you have any small children in the room now's a good time to ask them to leave um small tennessee police station has been rocked by allegations of wild sexual misconduct after a married female officer allegedly had steamy romps with six yes i said six male co-officers including illicit on-duty liaisons according to reports you guys want me to read more there's a lot of information yeah okay bear with me here as uh i'd like to just get all the information out and we can do with
Starting point is 00:44:45 what we will. Officer Megan Hall and her fellow law officers allegedly engaged in wild sex capades that included sending dirty pictures, taking her top off at a Girls Gone Wild hot tub party. Girls Gone Wild. Who's doing Girls Gone Wild themed porn? What else are you supposed to do at a Girls Gone Wild party?
Starting point is 00:45:01 She even had oral sex with two officers at La Verne, the Tennessee police station. The steamy shenanigans in which Hall bragged about the size of one partner's genitals in a claim to be open marriage not only led Hall to be canned, but led to the firings of Sergeant Lewis Powell, Officer Juan Lugo, Sergeant Ty McGowan,
Starting point is 00:45:21 and Detective Seneca Shields, according to December's internal investigation. Two officers just got suspended. They just got suspended. One guy's a real winner here. She talks about how big his hang down is. Did they name him specifically?
Starting point is 00:45:38 Yeah, this says that the extracurricular trysts took place at hotels and parties, at other officers' houses, and on a boat, while Hall was accused of performing oral sex on Powell and Shields while on duty at the police station and the police gym. This shouldn't be a... This consenting adults, what they choose to do behind work doors in their place of work is their business. And if, as she claims, their marriage is truly open... I mean, it's the most open I think I've ever heard. He's also major,
Starting point is 00:46:08 major cuck vibes here. You know what? Hopefully he's getting his. The only thing I didn't like about the story is that like all on the TL, they were posting him. I'm like, dude,
Starting point is 00:46:18 don't do it like that. The article is interesting because it's the most doxy article I've ever seen with a story like that. They are not being sensitive to anyone's identity whatsoever. Pictures, full names. It's wild. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:33 I mean, yeah. I don't even want to read some of the things that are being said in this write-up from the New York Post. Give us a little taste, though. Dave, do you want to read this first paragraph right here? Come on, Dave. What you got? Do you want to read that first paragraph? No. Yeah, I don you got you want to read that first paragraph no yeah i don't either i don't either my man i want to read it no no you don't i want to read this does say that uh the word cuckold is actually used in the column which you don't see very often it's very impressive stuff from
Starting point is 00:46:58 these but important to note none of these none of these people are from texas so there is no texas cucks no that's can only be there's only one of those. Much like Highlander. Yeah. I just don't understand. You can just – why would you do this with your coworkers when you can just go to a local grocery store and walk around with an upside-down pineapple in your car? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:20 Probably – do you think she had a pineapple in her patrol car? That would be a nice touch. The biggest issue here is that they were doing it like on clocked in. It's our taxpayer money hard at work. I know. Whenever I see watch media employees hooking up with each other, I always request that they clock out beforehand. We got our biz dev guy posting bottomless shotgun pics.
Starting point is 00:47:41 That is true. What the fuck's that? That is true. That dude's so thirsty. God. Fucking. Has Randy posted it on Instagram during this episode today? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:47:51 I'm not even going to look, man. No. If you hear that one of your boys is, you know, getting a little on the side from, like, you're a cop, hypothetically speaking. You're in the force. Like, are you like, oh, maybe I'll dip my pen in the company ink if literally everyone else here is? I don't think so, man. I don't think i am either it's kind of gross i don't think i am either girls gone wild why are they doing the girls gone wild uh hot tub parties what does
Starting point is 00:48:14 that consist of they're about two decades too late on that theme they all dress like never too late for a girl's no it is it is what t-shirt contest when's the last time you saw a wet t-shirt contest going on those are a thing of the contest when's the last time you saw a wet t-shirt contest going on those are a thing of the past man no the last one i saw was in 2019 our kids will never know the joy i haven't been on like a college spring break trip in a long time but i they might still go on they probably did i witnessed one in 2000 you were actually stuck in arizona during this time but i did witness one in uh in cabo san lucas 2019 was it heat uh it was fun at least i mean like we weren't we weren't like you't up in the front row or anything,
Starting point is 00:48:47 but we were on the perimeter of the bar that was doing it. And I mean, the crowd was wild for it. It was pretty lit. Did the girls go wild or what? No, I didn't see... No, to be... I want to stand all the young ladies in the competition right now as none of them bared it all.
Starting point is 00:49:04 What did they win, free drink tickets? Yeah, they got like a $1,000 bar tab at Squid Row. Great. Cool. Cool. You're going to get framed for coke and have to spend $500 to get out of jail. Definitely didn't happen to somebody I was on a trip with.
Starting point is 00:49:19 I was with Dave and Dest in Florida one time, and he did a wet trunks competition. It was a twerk it was a twerk competition no it's a wet no get it right if you're gonna do it dude it was a twerk off he got second place who got first there's only two of us flounder flounder i'd be so happy if i saw flounder get first i'd vote for him of Of course. No offense. How am I going to explain to my kid that there are no more wet t-shirt contests? Like, how do I do that?
Starting point is 00:49:50 Are we sure they're thinking that they might still go on, Dave? I mean... We all saw one three, four years ago. Lots changed. COVID. Yeah, this was pre-COVID. The COVID-ended wet t-shirt contest? It may have, yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:03 It was the final nail in the coffin yeah i don't know it did feel weird knowing about like all the girls gone wild stuff you know after the fact like it did feel a little weird to be watching a wet t-shirt contest i also had my wife directly next to me while it was occurring as well but it's almost better to watch it it's better to watch it with your yeah hey babe you want to get up there we'll never forget this it's better to watch it with your wife than to uh than to have your wife later find out that you were watching a wet t-shirt contest i think though i think i'd rather have it transpire the way that it did for me neither are ideal if it was uh if it was like 1 a.m and you're staying up late and it's like 1999 maybe you're watching howard stern oh and that girl's gone

Starting point is 00:54:37 what david something we didn't talk about in our weekend and fun all there were three children all believe, under the age of two, very well behaved. That's what we do. Very un-like. That's what we do. We were expecting Rhodes, who did not nap that day, to just be on one.
Starting point is 00:54:57 They were all sitting down at their end of the table, having a great time. What were they talking about down there? Just eating queso. Wet t-shirt contest. Rob a boy. That's awesome. Yeah, I'm sad I missed it, man.
Starting point is 00:55:10 Yeah. It was fun without you. I'm sure you would have made it more fun. Of course I would have. Fun follows me around. Don't do that. You know who's not having fun? The skinny.
Starting point is 00:55:24 Man. Yeah, diabolic. You skinny yeah diabolic you hear about this you hear about this mob boss who got captured uh kind of i tried to do some research on twitter but it was all in italian and i can't i famously can't read italian and i didn't want to take the time to translate i think one of the more toxic traits about me a lot of guys out there if i'm being honest is that we just absolutely love hearing about mob stuff, cartel stuff, just all of it. All of it. Yeah. And when I saw this morning that a mafia boss was arrested
Starting point is 00:55:51 after 30 years. On the line. Yeah. Matteo Messina Denaro. He was sentenced in absentia? What does that mean? Oh, in 1992 for a murder of two prosecutors and other crimes, but he was recently apprehended in a Sicilian hospital.
Starting point is 00:56:08 So, Dave, this guy was the top dog in Italy right now, right? Technically speaking? Boss of all bosses. This is big. This is a big time. Arrested in Palermo, which is, of course, from White Lotus. They were in Palermo for a bit. Yeah, also a known, very known Sicilian town.
Starting point is 00:56:25 Yeah. Right. That too. How are you on the run for 30 years? Italy's not that big. When you have people, I mean, like this guy, the little I read on him before the show, bad dude, turns out.
Starting point is 00:56:43 Scary guy. If you're willing to kill prosecutors and i mean this dude was killing women and children as well like this guy's a this is not to be trifled with so i imagine there was a lot of people scared to give his whereabouts but i gotta say his mugshot from his driver's license it's a hard pick it's a pretty hard pick he's got a deep plunging what appears to be v-neck sweater or uh sweater vest he's got the the full white cotton turtleneck flexing and then the the dommer he's got some dommer glasses i gotta say like he's rivaling the doms dude he's looking good damn what's it what's the life term in absentia is
Starting point is 00:57:22 that like you're not there so so they just sentence you even though you're not there? Sure. And then when they find you, they're like, all right, we're just going to do this. Well, no, absentia is also a Sicilian town. That's what I thought at first, but it was not capitalized. No, I quickly moved on. You got it right. Okay, that makes sense.
Starting point is 00:57:40 So he was convicted of a bunch of stuff. Yeah, the bombings in 1993 in Florence, he left 10 people dead. This dude was out here just being an absolute wild man. Yeah, this dude, he's very similar to Escobar. Trying to get the dude's name. You're not afraid to take some civilian casualties to... Noted bad dude, Escobar. Yeah, you kind of get the scent like if you watch
Starting point is 00:58:05 only like american mob cinema you're like oh yeah they just you know they're killing each other they try to avoid the heat don't go after sicilians a commercial jet remember that escobar yeah yeah not good well uh yeah this dude it says he they kidnapped in 1993 a 12 year old boy josepe de Matteo. Hopefully he's not kidnapped anymore. To pressure his father to stop revealing mafia secrets to the authorities. Oh, yeah. Definitely read the final sentence of the paragraph when you do that.
Starting point is 00:58:37 That is not how you want to find your 12-year-old son. That's depressing. Yeah, fuck this guy. They got him, though. You know what? Will's out on this guy. Yeah, I'm officially out now. What the hell?
Starting point is 00:58:51 Like, this is just another opportunity for another guy, though, right? This guy's darned. There will be a power vacuum. Fuck. Like, what's the move now? I was going to say he crushed his arrest fit, but after seeing all this like i don't want to make light of anything he did have a good he did have a good name diabolic that's very superhero ask like or like you know superhero movie villain ask diabolic they also called him the skinny
Starting point is 00:59:18 skinny just hated sugar yep he saw you he saw you eating something in the office he was like yeah you know how much sugar's in that he was in really good shape but i heard it dude like dude that you know that uh that gobble glue you're eating right there you know what sodium's in that all right fuck off man yeah i heard one of his boys was drinking a sprite in the airport after a bachelor party and he roasted him how much sugar content was in it it was only like 68 grams i can't believe how much is in that anyway dude yeah the more you read about this guy the more you realize that like the mafia movies don't go hard enough for probably a good reason like this is dark dark shit isn't isn't that against code like mafia code to like like other family members to get them involved and getting hurt?
Starting point is 01:00:05 Because this guy... It's the new ways, man. They don't abide by that. This guy was all in on just taking in people's family members and killing them. Yeah, that's against code. I've watched enough American-made mafia movies to know that you don't touch family members. Well, this guy's got his hands all over them. This guy did the opposite.
Starting point is 01:00:22 He heard what you said and said, Hey, man, I i appreciate that but i'm gonna do the other thing damn he played by his own rules i think he did i think that's what made him mafia boss that's why he's so diabolic what's the end goal when you're a mafia boss is it to is it to control the government behind closed doors or is it just to make as much money as possible or both yes i don't know get that get like some uh some snow leopard money some clouded some clouded uh leopard money to where you can like start doing exotic pets and you don't just like you don't just keep sneaking into the zoos like we have to with wire cutters
Starting point is 01:00:56 oh watch me do you got a new pot yeah where were you on friday what i wouldn't want to ask where i was thursday night screw this guy i mean no what i mean no where were you 10 days ago exactly 10 days ago washington dc that green comet that you warned us about are you i couldn't see it i couldn't see it either i was pretty disappointed i'm not sure that you had the right time because i had the right time Because I had the right time There was some time zone confusion going on in the group text When the green comet was making an appearance So I went out at both times
Starting point is 01:01:32 I saw 1118 eastern bro Yeah I saw 1118 central No you didn't I did But I couldn't see it I went out at both times So it doesn't matter I think the city lights were too bright for us to see it anyway
Starting point is 01:01:44 Even if we had a clear shot at it without a telly. You got to have a telly, dog. What? I wonder if Brett tried to see it. Wasn't Brett out at the ranch? He would have been in the perfect place to look at a whatever. It's probably a question for him. He's not on the show, so he can't answer that.
Starting point is 01:02:00 So I shouldn't have brought him up. Well, our next chance to see it is about 10,000 years from now or something like that. So maybe we'll see that the next one. Yeah. Will we see that or a Chainsmokers threesome first? Who knows? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:12 Have you guys ever been double teamed by the Chainsmokers? No. Because it turns out there are people out there who definitely have. Did we not talk about this already? Or was it just in the office? Probably just in the office. It sounds like a group text thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:22 So it turns out the Chainsmokers, they've had threesomes with their fans um i as a fan of the chain smokers can go on record saying that i've never had a threesome with uh drew or alex you you are the most likely though because you did famously interview them yeah i am best friends with the chain smokers great interview it's a good interview gained a lot of insight i used to make concert posters for them which people don't talk about enough in my opinion uh and yeah i i am definitely a good candidate in terms of wash media and uh our adjacent personalities here at this company i definitely think i'm the top dog for most likely to have a threesome with the chain smokers for sure the thing i found most interesting is that there's're explaining this, they're like, oh, so in Europe, when you get a hotel room, they push the beds together.
Starting point is 01:03:12 And my thought was, you're the chain smokers. Why are you guys sharing a room? Why not just get separate rooms? I feel like you can swing it. They did swing it, David. Yeah, it seems a little too convenient. It's like they... First of all, why do they even reveal this information?
Starting point is 01:03:31 It's just a little bit... Yeah, if you have an accidental threesome with your boys, that's something you don't talk about. And like you just exchange glances when everyone says like the word threesome at like brunch one day. You're like... Yeah, not us.
Starting point is 01:03:42 Told everybody. I'm not built for that kind of stuff i just don't get like yeah why were they sharing beds in europe it just doesn't make a lot of sense these had to have been early days the chain smokers i know they stay in their own room i feel like if you're touring europe i said that weird if you're touring europe you've got enough you got enough to spring for the uh separate rooms right if you're already at like a tour a world tour status maybe just get the other one or maybe they didn't want to and you know what that's what what they choose to do behind closed doors doing is their business sure sure if you're in a threesome with a chain smoker it's like which
Starting point is 01:04:22 one you like focusing on? Probably Larry. Drew. The cable guy? Do you think the person who is the third part of the threesome is like, oh, jeez, you guys smell like cigarette smoke. Yeah. He's been smoking literally all day long. He's like, I can't breathe in here. Can we go to a different room?
Starting point is 01:04:43 It's the black, blue, black blue black long pop is drew still doing the vocals can't you smoke in congress now i don't know are people still listening to them like i'm surprised that they're this in the news cycle these days like are they that popular anymore i feel like their last album was a flop coffin flop right you guys see this yeah you guys it's just hours and hours have you guys ever seen this show of bodies falling out of coffins interesting all right i'm i'm gonna throw up before we hey that was fun shut up you don't have to shut up we're ending on a high, Dylan. I like that polo. Thanks, man.
Starting point is 01:05:27 I got it from our good friends at Roback. Backer 20 for 20%. There was a scenario today where I was wearing all Roback to work. I ended up changing that scenario today because I'm wearing a different pair of shorts. But at one point today, I had the Roback shorts on. I had a Roback t-shirt. And then I had the Roback QZ on top. I'm supporting the squad, too. You are.
