all right we're back circling back podcast coming to you live from our homes my name is will to
freeze on the screen in front of me david ruff i know some people are probably noticing that
i've been drinking a lot more homemade hot coffee i want to just let you guys know I am a subscription coffee guy now
really I told you all this really so like does this you're just getting bags in the
mail and stuff now or are they actually sending you cups of coffee that are hot
no no no that yeah they're sending it what's the reverse of dry ice
hot ice water wet ice they're actually just sending it with a box stuffed full of Brett's excess skin shavings
that they just keep it warm.
That's disgusting.
Oh, my God.
It's so disturbing to think about.
It's Farrah Coffee.
I think it's an Austin brand, but they just send us a bag every two weeks,
and it ends up being the perfect amount because we make a pot of coffee every morning.
So I'm now a subscription coffee guy.
Wow.
I mean, that's I like I like that you're a subscription coffee guy.
That makes me kind of happy for some reason.
If anyone should be, it should be nice.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Dylan, what's your coffee subscription game looking like?
I don't have a subscription, but I have.
I did recently purchase a grinder.
So for the first time, I'm buying a whole bean coffee.
I know that's long overdue as a 36-year-old man,
but I'm grinding finally.
Grind boy.
It's called Real Good.
I'm looking at the label right now, actually.
It's called Real Good Coffee or something.
It's out of Seattle.
It's actually really good.
I'm enjoying it.
Well, it better be Real Good. You know how...
Properly named.
What day?
You know how hard it is for Will to make a clips grinding reference
and me to not start beating on this table?
Dude.
That's all I want to do is do the clips beat.
That song changed
my high school like trajectory all of a sudden i was like wait do i need to quit skateboarding
and get into clips dude but like the young pharrell what you're talking about the grinding
song you don't know the grinding you you would you you absolutely know this song uh the whistle
song yeah i probably just need to hear it to place it but okay the beat
is the beat is like uh it was like a a revolutionary beat at the time in like the year 2002 or whatever
it came out i should tease original group push a tease original group mouse and push a t or the
clips and they were produced by pharrell, the Neptunes, the new label.
Dave, every time you go off on one of these things,
it's a reminder that you know so much more about music than I do.
I don't know any of this shit, man.
I'm so cool, dude.
Yeah, Dave's plugged in.
Dave's like the pitchfork guy of this podcast.
Are you just reading pitchfork reviews of every rap album that comes out these days?
Man, I haven't read an album review in a long time. they still doing those i assume they are oh yeah i could see brett i could see you being big on
pitchfork no dude i see the the problem is i'm not big on albums at all i was i'm too young to
care about albums because we've just been streaming since day one right so like i'm weirdly in the
same boat even though i don't have the same reasoning you do but
i i'm the same way i just i pick out songs i like and i jam them i don't i don't dig deeper than
that usually which is a shame kind of yeah i feel bad admitting that but people like what's your
favorite dave album like i don't know yeah i don't care i i know where you're coming from i mean
streaming stuff has definitely taken away from the importance of albums in my opinion when it
comes to i don't care if a new album comes out as long as I get a few new songs from an artist that I like and they go.
Yeah, like when we were doing four albums, no skips, I was just like, I had to look up the albums that I wanted.
Sorry.
Hey, can I turn back the clock real quick and do a thug plug?
Is that all right?
Dude, get a thug plug off.
It's not on the run sheet.
Yeah, it's not on the run sheet. Sorry. Can someone make an edit real quick to the run sheet so i can do this
dave you probably you probably are already aware of this song but it's a little a little baby song
some to prove it goes real real hard s s u m and then the number two prove it's awesome
that's my thug plug of the year i love that your thug plug is you being like yeah
it's by uh baby and it goes real real hard it goes real real hard uh check it out dog for sure
he's good he's got a lot he's you like that one of the i do i really like uh a number of his songs
i celebrate his entire catalog really hey? Hey, have you guys,
speaking of thug plugs and rap music, have you guys dipped into Hannah Brown's,
uh,
Instagram comments,
uh,
since the controversy from the past weekend?
Is it ugly?
Absolute war zone.
I've never,
I haven't seen anything like it in a long time.
I went into her most recent comments today.
And like we said on yesterday's Patreon,
I went to it from the discover feed when she was clearly on there.
And, uh, yeah, it was, it's a bloodbath.
If you did not listen to our premium pod yesterday,
let me give you a little, just a quick recap.
Hannah Brown was the Bachelorette.
She was on The Bachelor, then she was on The Bachelorette,
and she's still a major player in the Bachelor universe.
She posted on Instagram. Did we figure out if it was a story or a live it doesn't really
matter but she dropped uh she was doing some lyrics and she uh said the word that you're not
supposed to say uh the n-word that is and uh it was a it's caused quite the shit storm and i don't
think chris harrison's addressed it yet which i think is strange. Unless I missed it. And if so, I apologize. We need him to
address it. Once he does,
we can all start to turn the
page and see what's next for Bachelor Nation
in 2020.
Since we're talking hip-hop, I have something
that I'd like to confess.
Although everything about him
makes me really uncomfortable,
Tekashi69 has a couple
bangers. I hate to say it dude
stop i know i'm embarrassed i'm embarrassed but um some of it just goes kind of hard i'm sorry
snitch plugs i might need like i kind of i kind of get it yeah that's good dave that's good i might
need to mute him on my twitter feed i don't i don't want to see his face on my feed ever again.
His existence makes me uncomfortable.
Well, his days are numbered.
The only thing I know about him is that when they'll occasionally post that little video clip on Daquan of him,
and it's him in a radio interview, and he's like, stupid.
I don't know.
It's all I know of him.
I don't know any of his music.
I know he's got a funny meme.
That's about it.
I have him in my death pool.
I'm going to let you get the chance.
He's definitely in my death pool.
His song, Gooba, G-O-O-B-A, Gooba.
If you don't like hardcore, like hard rap, you're going to hate it.
But if you do, if you appreciate it like I do,
you might uh you might
bounce your head to it a little bit i'm a big girl this is such an endearing segment for you
the uh the lyrics are super lazy but it's the beats hard just check it out you guys need i mean
have you guys checked out the the hardest hitting rap to hit spotify this week and uh kendall roy doing l to the og remastered edition unbelievable oh my
god like it hits so hard i was amazed when i was playing it before the pod that it hit as hard as
it did i can't wait to toss that on it does slap can we have a can we have a brief conversation
about a sponsor that we have uh we've had in the past and they're back, baby. Whoa. So is this like a returning
sponsor alert? Oh yeah. And I'm kind of bummed because when we like, just to pull back the
curtain, whenever we have a ad copy, we copy and paste it into our rundown thing and I go through
it. And on this one, it says, uh, it says they want us to go off script and talk about our
experience with it, but it says go off. And then on the next line, it says script.
So I thought you guys were just saying that I needed to go off on this.
And I was like, oh, I can talk about bird dogs as long as you want me to talk about bird dogs.
Let's go off.
I mean, you know what bird dogs are.
They crushed it with gym shorts.
Now they make the most comfortable pants in the world.
They look exactly like khakis, but they're super stretchy and crazy soft.
They got these new pants out.
Like they got everything. It's just great they have built-in underwear that's just a total
game changer have you guys been wearing yours yes it's my go-to running short you love a pant
that's as comfortable as sweatpants but it doesn't really look or feel like sweatpants it's just
that's how that's how comfortable they are on your skin they're so tight man yeah they get they send us two pairs of uh of shorts and one pair of pants the shorts are
in my rotation weekly not just for like working out and stuff but also chilling like i love i
love the built-in liner i don't like i don't like having to wear underpants with shorts like dude
give me a liner all the perfect shorts to spill like one dollop of barbecue sauce on at a barbecue yeah
it puts out a vibe for sure for sure also i have some inside information because i asked about this
yesterday to a certain uh friend of ours friend of the program who may or not or may or may not
have gotten us this deal um or did this deal with us at bird dogs he says they dry twice as fast as
a regular bathing suit so jump in the water with these things on, and you're coming out dry.
Catch me maybe doing this this weekend.
I'm going to a pool this weekend.
I will be in pool.
Okay.
Well, if you guys want a deal on these things, look no further.
Go to birddogs.com, enter promo code STEAM,
and they'll throw in a pair of nunchucks.
I didn't even know this was part of the deal.
I'm psyched up right now.
Yeah, you heard that right. Nunchucks. They'll give you an actual weapon along with a pair of nunchucks. I didn't even know this was part of the deal. I'm psyched up right now. Yeah, you heard that right.
Nunchucks.
They'll give you an actual weapon along with your pair of bird dogs.
That's birddogs.com.
Promo code STEAM and boom, a free pair of nunchucks with your pair of bird dogs.
You will not take these things off.
I promise you.
Be safe with those nunchucks when you guys have them.
I would love to see some photos of you guys with these,
so please just send them in.
I don't think that's too much to ask.
I've decided that I'm not purchasing from any company
unless they provide me with nunchucks along with my order.
Or any weaponry.
Just general weaponry is fine with me.
I need weapons as a bonus gift.
Yeah.
Do you guys want to talk about Joe Rogan
just getting absolutely paid yesterday?
Do we know the numbers?
Yes.
So here's the deal.
Oh, I didn't know that that i get the inside scoop dave turns out my my buddy was wrong on the numbers he was wrong i didn't want to expose you but
your buddy was wrong yeah which which we've been giving him a lot of shit for in the group text
this morning he's i mean so the deal is a five-year deal for him to go exclusively to Spotify starting in 2021.
And his entire catalog is going to be on there.
He got for five years, he got $100 million.
That's pretty good.
That feels low.
Yeah.
Gimlet got $210 million or something like that.
Yeah, I have the feeling, though, that Gimlet... I think Gimlet got $210,000 or something like that. Yeah, I have the feeling, though, that Gimlet...
I think Gimlet got a lucky deal.
Yeah.
I think they had the right guys in place making that deal
to be like, all right, we're getting paid right now.
To my knowledge, I don't know how Gimlet's deal was structured,
and same with the ringer.
So they're not straight up buying Joe Rogan and all of his IP.
They're just licensing it and getting the exclusive rights.
So maybe that probably does have a big part in all this.
I think this is definitely why he wants to move to Texas.
He said it's because he doesn't like Gavin Newsom, the governor in California,
but he's going to get wrecked on taxes out there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well,
do you think,
do you think he still gets the ad money and everything from these?
They're not going to be ad free podcasts.
Are they?
I,
I,
I kind of would assume that that all goes to Spotify.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Because his,
I mean,
I'm just trying to,
his exclusivity with spotify
just brings people to spotify how comparable is radio to podcasting because howard stern got what
500 million dollars what 15 years ago yeah so i don't know he's the king of media though yeah you
forgot about that he is but it But it's a new era.
Now, podcasting is it trumps radio, right?
In terms of dollars has to.
Rogan is definitely the king of media.
I think podcast media is Rogan going to start bringing in like didn't it didn't like Howard
Stern always have like a bunch of rabbits in the studio running around and stuff.
Maybe Rogan could do that and maybe get some more money out of it.
Hmm.
Not sure.
I'm not sure.
Yeah.
Truly not.
I think I,
no,
that one is,
I think we're on the same page.
I think we're on the same page.
Well,
Oh shit.
That was peak.
That was,
that was on the same level as MTV spring break.
When,
when Howard Stern was on E it was volume mtv spring break when when howard stern
was on e it was volume one high alert of where the parents were in the kitchen once uh 1 a.m
rolled around you had you knew you were safe to throw on howard stern uh and you were just hoping
you were just hoping you caught it on a night where he had some uh provocative guests on that
was just it was usually good yeah he always did. And then Beetlejuice would show up
and kill your buzz for a little bit.
And it was like, oh.
So that's how much a big podcast...
What's a mid-sized one going for these days?
What can we shop ourselves for?
This is ridiculous.
Yeah, Brad, get to work, dog.
Yeah, we're open to a deal.
Well, I mean open to a deal.
Well, I mean, we'll see.
How is there not a meme account out there called Bro Jogan?
Doesn't that seem like a meme account that would just exist and have really shitty workout memes?
Yeah.
I was like, I plead the second.
Let's see.
With the bare arms. Oh, there is a dude with that. There is a dude with the ad. Let's see. Read the bear arms.
Oh, there is a dude with the ad.
He's not doing memes, though.
He's just doing cat and dog stuff and terrible food photos.
So I wouldn't hit that follow button.
The funniest thing for me was immediately after I saw him tweet this,
I went to the Joe Rogan Reddit page just to see how they were taking it.
I have to say,
you'll be shocked to learn they are
not happy with change
on the Joe Rogan Reddit.
A lot of people
really...
I love people who are like,
just get over yourself.
They're like, well, it's been fun,
guys, but I won't be
downloading Spotify. He's lost my business. Oh, like, well, it's been fun, guys, but I won't be downloading Spotify.
He's lost my business.
Oh, okay, dude.
Why not?
Why not?
Dude, I hate Spotify, man.
I hate having all my music conveniently in one place, not taking up room on my phone.
It's just the worst.
I was a holdout.
Remember that?
I was the guy who's still doing Apple Music when all y'all were doing Spotify, and I finally
made the switch, and I am better for it.
I'm still on Apple Music
but I can even admit that Spotify
is the superior product.
Are you on both?
No.
I'm paying for Apple.
I got all my playlists set up over there.
I just haven't taken the time to switch it over.
Dave, there were a lot of negative
sentiments out there regarding his thing, whether it was people worried about his creative control and stuff all. Dave, there were a lot of negative sentiments out there regarding his thing,
whether it was people worried about his creative control
and stuff like that.
But there were a lot of cool fan tributes,
namely Dan Rejester shaving his head
in order to pay tribute to Joe Rogan yesterday.
That was very cool.
That was cool of Dan, man,
to stand in solidarity with Joe.
You know, Joe, if you ever see see him he has the hair transplant scar in the
back of his head yeah he had he was like on news radio and stuff those were he had the plugs oh
so those were plugs on news radio he was that he was bald for that long i believe so yeah so he his
whole thing is like i wish i would have done just shaved it earlier but like he was trying to make
it in tv and you know bald guys short bald guys don't really uh make it as like the the handsome uh supplemental character
on on uh sitcoms he was kind of the playboy of that show I wonder if that show still like holds
up it's a good show man very very smart yeah I we might need to find this streaming somewhere
it's probably streaming on like the cbs
app that like i can't figure out how to sign up for i've been trying to watch mad about you for
like months now but i'm not signing i'm not i'm not come on i'm not paying cbs to watch mad about
you just make that free it came out like 20 no one's watching mad about you in 2020 i know because
no one can figure out how to work the damn CBS app on Apple TV. That's not what.
That's exactly why.
Everybody wants to be watching it.
Have you seen the fabric on the couches in that show?
It's next level.
Stop.
It's been a minute since I've seen the show.
So this is good news for us.
Oh, I mean, aren't the biggest things in the biggest media news coming out right now is not about television struggling or anything like that.
It's all just podcasters getting paid.
Or not getting paid.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
So, I mean, I don't hate how much podcast news is in the news cycle right now.
Oh, yeah.
Rogan kind of came in and really cut the podcast news cycle from the drama going on in New York.
Damn.
He glucked it, man.
Yeah.
Rogan was just sitting there
and he was like,
this is how I win.
So the Sophia,
half of Call Her Daddy,
she posted an Instagram story
explaining her side of it.
She uses daddy gang
in a sincere tone like three or four different times during
that clip and i don't know why it it irks me like nothing else that i that i've heard it just
absolutely crushes my soul every time i hear her say that it's just so is it because you're in the
daddy gang yeah i'm not in the daddy gang odds but it's so bad. Odds that you put daddy gang, hashtag daddy gang, in your Twitter profile till the end of the month.
Oh, that's good.
That's a good one.
One in nine.
Oh, man.
That's too low because now if I do it, I'm going to be fucked.
All right.
One in nine.
Let's do it. Ready? i'll count it off since i
challenged you okay okay all right one two three eight seven that was so delayed
dude that was unbelievably delayed yeah dylan dylan definitely registered eight in his head
and then went on. Am I?
No, I said it at the same time.
From my end, it was the same exact time, man.
We were synced.
Daddy gang.
One question I have, and Brett, maybe you can answer this,
since you know a little bit more.
Joe does live streams on YouTube,
and he posts you can go watch entire episodes with guests on YouTube.
Like that's not going to exist anymore.
Is Spotify going to, going to do a video feature with him or with everybody?
I guess there's a rumor that Spotify wants to become the YouTube of
podcasting.
Okay.
Now that's,
you're kind of crossing two different streams there.
Um,
but that's,
that's kind of their their uh hell yeah
10-year plan if you will is to make spotify the youtube of podcast which is eventually where i
would like circling back to end up if the if daniel acton co are listening over at spotify
right now just drop me a line but yeah that's uh he's got yeah, he's a lot to do clips, I believe, on YouTube
still, but the full videos would have to live on Spotify if and when they do have that feature.
I think I texted you all this yesterday. I was kind of worried about the capability of Spotify
with video, but they play random fucking videos throughout every single time you put on a song
anyway. So they can definitely do that for podcasts. No questions asked.
Can I tell you something, Will? I don't like that feature that they do that. Because no questions asked can i tell you something will i don't like that feature
that they do that because like if i'm at the gym and i don't want to waste my battery i don't need
a video playing yeah why like why are you doing that spotify like don't don't get me wrong spotify
love you guys like can't wait to do business with you that being said i don't yeah i wish there was
a there probably is a way to turn it off but we're just too old to figure it out eventually we're
gonna get to the point where we're gonna like circling back and just play like those songs play on i have to sneeze so bad right
now i'm fighting through it circling back like this video will just play on somebody's phone
while they listen to the podcast like it like the background yeah and it's going to be tight
it's a good idea it's a good idea yeah and their dynamic ad insertion is going to be next level too.
We'll save that for another day because I don't like dynamic ads.
If we can't just get sold on our own merits,
we need Brett to somehow get in with Spotify and start working there,
and then he can just pull Trig and just buy us.
Shouts to my buddy Matt.
That may or may not be the plan.
That works for me.
Hey, is Joe not going to stack his ads for the first eight minutes of his pod anymore?
Because that's my favorite thing about it.
Same.
As much as I love supporting ads, I kind of know where to start the podcast.
Yeah, that can't be an effective way of getting people to listen to your ads.
I don't know why he's allowed to do that.
It's terrible. I don't know why he's allowed to do that. It's terrible.
I don't know.
I can't listen to the first part
because he's just rambling for eight minutes.
It's ridiculous.
I just don't get how the magic mushroom juice
that he sells has the capital
to buy spots on Joe Rogan.
I just don't understand.
Those have to be five digits of ad space every week.
Yeah.
I read their discounts.
Maybe they get them at a huge discount because of the way they're, you know, at the beginning of the episodes.
I don't know.
10 mil a year on ads alone for Rogan in his current structure is what I read.
I'm surprised it's not more, if I'm being honest.
A little surprised. in his current structure is what I read. I'm surprised it's not more, if I'm being honest. Mm-hmm.
A little surprised.
Because he's doing a lot of pods every single day.
Well, we made, like, what, 12 million last year in ad sales for us?
So I'm just surprised he's under.
Something like that.
11.7?
Yeah, that makes sense.
Yeah.
I mean, good for Joe, I guess.
He could be doing better, but maybe he should just talk to us.
Has he contacted you, Brett, about maybe taking charge of his ad sales?
No. His sidekick did, though, the maybe he should just talk to us. Has he contacted you, Brett, about maybe taking charge of his ad sales? No.
His sidekick did, though, the other guy on the pod.
Jamie.
Jamie.
Excuse me.
Pauly.
I like the idea of Pauly.
Yeah, Pauly.
Yeah, no, he reached out.
He said, if he could have – Dylan already has the exclusive licensing contract to be on their podcast twice a year.
I would love to have Jamie on here.
Jamie would be a great guest, I think.
I don't know.
I feel like he wouldn't be able to say much,
but I would like to talk to him about just like his back story,
how he even ended up with Joe.
That's got to be a great gig, right?
Like I'm sure Joe compensates him very well.
Yeah.
Yeah, Jamie's doing just
fine for himself i think i think jamie's living the life do you think jamie wants to move to texas
or what oh that's a that's a great point will i didn't even think about that i hope not i hope i
hope jamie does not break up i hope that he moves with him if that happens but you know he's
definitely going to move to austin he's there's no way he's going to Houston or Dallas. No. Maybe he'll build like
a bunker, like a big compound out in like the hill country. If he needs an office to record
from, he can use the lodge. I moved this up in the rundown. Are we any closing thoughts on the
rogue man? Congrats to Joee i'm excited to join
you at spotify soon um can we talk about this bald eagle that they found dead in the water
whoa so this isn't some sexy sexy story uh but in maine are you ready for this
in maine someone found a bald eagle face down in the water. There's a photo of it that's kind of sad.
I don't want to see it.
It was found floating face down in Highland Lake.
It's kind of a memeable photo, if I'm being honest.
But I'm not going to be the person that memes a bald eagle.
That's just mean.
But they found it.
And this was written up by Danielle D'Oria.
And she is a wildlife biologist.
Do you guys know anything about loons?
Let me start with that.
I didn't know what a loon was until this morning.
Last time I heard from a loon, it was I Need a Girl Part 2.
Yeah, I used to sea walk to that video.
It was an ultimate sea walk video.
No, the only only moon i ever cared
about closed down it was on lemon avenue i think in dallas and uh they moved it or something it's
just never been the same so they inspected this dead bald eagle because they could i like i guess
that's just what you do probably because they're a protected species uh they said no metal showed
up on the image but during the external exam a puncture
wound on the eagle's chest was discovered this puncture would could have been due to an adult
loon's beak as a result of its attempt to protect its chick from the eagle a loon's best weapon
is its dagger like bill and it will often attack adverse adversary loons why did i almost say it
was the worst those are the worst kind of loons. You don't want to mess with adversary loons.
Uh,
and it'll just do,
it'll just lunge straight toward the other loon sternum or chest.
And so they have like,
like healed over sternal punctures from fights like this.
And so apparently this thing just launched in the air while it was getting
attacked by a bald Eagle and just stabbed it straight in the chest and took it
down.
I'm not really about taking down america's bird like this but i think we need to put some
respect on the loon name are loons the bad boys bad boys of small to mid-sized birds they might
be what it sounds like to me they might be it's not yeah you said it you said it right put some respect on that bird man so does it have a sharper beak than a woodpecker i assume the woodpecker has a fairly sharp beak
like uh it's just picking wood all day okay i'm gonna yeah maybe they sharpen their beak
when they go home to their nest okay i just looked up birds with the sharpest beaks i don't know how i don't know what half of these are but like let's see a woodpecker has a long
tongue in a sharp beak so i don't know if they're actually longer hummingbirds have needle-like
beaks uh apparently blue herons have razor sharp beaks. I think we need to start, like, not trending towards, like,
fully going over to birds, but I think we do need to think about,
you know, how badass birds are in relation to, like, big cats, too.
Birds out here.
Did y'all see that roadrunner in my neighborhood the other day?
Mm-hmm.
Chaparral.
He was chopping.
It's a chaparral.
Yeah, I mean, it's a roadrunner it's the same thing
pretty much they're all they're all over the place over here man it's tight it's a cool bird
they're fast is that how you slide they need to yeah they can fly okay they have like the
little burst they want to they they prefer to they prefer to run i think they can fly wait
when they do they fly like a quail flies?
So it's like, you know, it's up there for a few seconds and it's back down?
Or do they fly fly?
I said they can fly.
I actually have no idea if they can fly or not.
I assume they can.
But they can sure run.
Why fly when you can just run like a 3-9-40?
Let's see.
It says the roadrunner can run at speeds, blah, blah, blah,
and generally prefer sprinting to flying,
though it will fly to escape predators.
So I think you're right, Dave.
I don't think these things are migrating south for any seasons
or anything like that.
I think they're just sprinting everywhere.
It's kind of tight, man.
I've seen them on golf courses quite a bit they will they will absolutely demolish a snake if they run up on one
really oh yeah kind of badass yeah they're they they are not scared birds are as we said birds
are tight of course the chaparral is the mascot for westlake high school where the lodge is can i be honest i
didn't know that a chap i didn't know what a chaparral was until you guys just said it i've
always seen that on the westlake stadium and things like that but i always just kind of assumed it was
some like bougie ass name for like a a soldier from way back just because they're like i thought
of the word chap and uh i'm just now realizing yeah i'm just realizing now that
they're they're named after essentially roadrunners yeah yeah amazing stuff um
i don't really have i guess you do have to remember yeah you have to remember that birds
are technically raptors and predators if you uh you choose to take that side of history.
Too much to throw.
Is that just because of the feet?
The feet look similar? Is that pretty much the only similarity between the two?
More or less.
I'm pretty sure raptors don't have wings.
Well, actually,
I believe in recent years,
there's a new theory that
dinosaurs did have feathers years there's a new theory that dinosaurs did have feathers
they said more or less
the theory is also that the
dinosaurs that could fly
survived the impact
so those ones did have feathers
and they became birds
dude imagine like soaring
imagine soaring above the earth just like looking down
and being like damn shit's fucked up down there shit what do you do imagine having imagine having the ability to
fly like i'm just gonna run instead i didn't that doesn't make sense to me you know flying is so
tight did we did i ask you guys this question this is kind of a random question but i think
it kind of relates to you know the big big bang uh what is there any natural
disaster that you want to live through that you want to experience more than any other natural
disaster and just have the experience and understand where like what happens and that
kind of thing because i haven't experienced that many and i was thinking about the other day and
i was like there are a couple that like i'd be interested to see what it was like to be on the
ground for it i want to know what an earthquake feels like. Ooh, I can kind of claim
that. I can kind of claim it too. I can't totally claim it, but I've, I've been a, I'm a tremor boy
for sure. Yeah. You lived in San Francisco. Yeah. We didn't, yeah, we didn't, we didn't catch any
like noticeable ones while we were there. There was one, but I was out for that and we were driving.
And so we kind of considered it to be like a bumpy road and not an actual earthquake. But I was also in California for one when I was a little kid.
And I remember being like, what was that? And my dad was like, that was definitely an earthquake.
But I don't, I don't have any like actual recollection of what it felt like.
So I had, I experienced one in Oklahoma city when I was, so I lived at the 15th floor of this building downtown,
and I just felt my bed.
It was like 8 a.m. I was getting up for class,
and I was just kind of lying there looking at my phone,
and my bed started to shake.
And, yeah, it was like a 3.4 or something in OKC,
which some might say is linked to oil and gas activities in the area, particularly
the fracking process, which includes a saltwater injection well.
Some say, I don't know the science.
I'm out of the game, so you tell me.
It was jarring.
I wasn't scared, but I was freaked out.
I think, honestly, I checked Twitter, and that's how I realized what had happened.
This is in like 2012 we kind of went through the tropical storm stuff in in cabo for a little bit
that got pretty loco down there for for the night but it wasn't like it wasn't like devastation so
i can't claim that as like an actual tropical we weren't in danger no we were always fine
what i want to feel a little danger you know yeah
tidal wave sick no tidal waves are not sick that creeps no but this is this is the understanding
that everyone survives it would be it would be ridiculous to experience what it was like i'm not
saying i want to be in a tidal wave i'm just saying like the experience of having that like
thing happening
would just be mind-blowing we're talking mass destruction though even if you survive it like
your town is just wrecked man not good true put me like uh like a hundred miles off the coast of
one of those islands down in uh like papua new new guinea and have a volcano explode like Krakatoa. Give me an eruption. That's like a safe distance away.
That'd be tight.
Avalanche?
We're just shredding down the
mountain in front of an avalanche.
The idea of getting buried by snow
just sounds extremely terrifying to me.
Yeah. When I was a little kid
I remember in my jacket I had one of those avalanche things that apparently they could find you if Yeah. Yeah. When I was a little kid, I remember in my like jacket,
I had one of those like avalanche things that like,
apparently they could,
they could find you if you had something.
And I was like,
why,
why is five-year-old me wearing like an avalanche thing in Harbor Springs,
Michigan?
I don't think I'm going to,
I don't think I'm really in like in danger right now.
Shots of my parents though,
for keeping their head on a swivel regarding avalanches.
A meteor might be tight.
You just see one go across the sky and hits, like in West Texas,
and just has a cool crater, but nothing like happens.
Yeah.
Have you seen the video from the police cam, the dash cams in Russia?
Oh, yeah.
It actually was a problem.
Why does every car in Russia
have a dash cam running
24-7? They record everything
there.
Yeah, that's a little weird.
I feel like it's only a matter of time
before we have that here.
I mean...
Oh, thanks, Randy.
Randy notes.
It's the law.
He's pretty sure.
He always told,
he always tells us stuff.
Then he immediately backs out of whatever he tells us.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Notice that per Randy,
it's the law.
And then next message.
I'm pretty sure.
All the time.
Uh,
tornado tour.
I think,
uh,
with all of us living in Texas onas on the southernmost tip like just you
know tornado alley at the very very bottom not even really in it uh tornado is a real possibility
yeah oh definitely we're definitely going to experience that at some point together
yeah they're scary yeah i've been in warnings i've never actually luckily i've never been
a part of one but they they scare the living piss out of me, man.
I've always had a fascination and just been creeped out by them.
How desperate are we in quarantine right now?
Yeah, you're chasing right now all the time.
We're so desperate in quarantine that we're talking about how we want to be a part of natural disasters.
Just get me out.
Yeah, the headless parrot did buy four storm chases. So we do have to experience at least four of them.
Oh, for the storm chasing podcast?
Storm chaser chasers?
Series.
Oh.
Storm chaser chasers.
Ah, okay.
Okay.

It's time for Sports Minute.
Hey, let me kick off the Sports Minute with a hypothetical.
Or not really a hypothetical, but a what if.
What if at the beginning of the universe forming forming what if mike breen was there and it's like it's just like pops up he just goes i just feel like that didn't happen like in the beginning there was breen
Bang Big bang
Universe with a long three
Bang
Universe with a long three
That's so stupid
Who's lobbing that up?
Was there a bounce pass involved before that long three?
Or what?
Nobody knows, it's part of the existence
We don't know
It's part of the existence. We don't know. Interesting stuff.
It's a wild ride.
We got a big one.
Neil deGrasse Tyson when he was playing in high school.
Womp, womp, womp.
Okay.
Neil deGrasse.
Sorry, Brett. I just called you Randy.
That's awesome.
Can I compliment Brett's lighting today?
Your ambiance back there is sick.
Yeah, he's kind of killing it with that.
The focus is truly on Brett right now.
It's pretty amazing.
Sports.
Sports.
We had some news drop right before the podcast
that Eli Manning, Peyton Manning, Jim Nance, and Andy Roddick
have a new whiskey coming out.
Brett, can you give us some details on this real quick?
I sure can.
It's called Sweeten's Cove, which apparently is a nine-hole golf course in Chattanooga, Tennessee,
that they all own part of now.
They bought it outside of Chattanooga.
And it's this little nine-hole, $25 like muni that apparently is just this tight track.
So long story short, the tradition there is to take a shot of bourbon before the first tea.
So they were all doing it one day and they said we should have our own bourbon.
They bought a bunch of barrels outside of Chattanooga, Tennessee of 100-year-old aged bourbon
or something like that, 13-year-old maybe.
Big difference. And now they have their aged bourbon or something like that. 13-year-old, maybe. Big difference.
Now they have their own bourbon company.
Super premium. $200
for a $750.
Damn.
What's these guys' connection
to Chattanooga,
Tennessee?
Peyton.
Yeah, he's a big Tennessee guy.
Well, you went to college there. Peyton. Yeah, he's a big Tennessee guy.
Well, he went to college there.
Okay.
From Louisiana.
Hey, is Coach Duggs an investor?
Maybe.
No word on if Coach Duggs is an investor.
You have 50,000 people watching that stream.
No, there were more than that.
I can't believe he left Tech after one year. That's a major insult to the good people of Lubbock
he keeps bouncing around like that
after one year he's going to get a bad reputation
he's got to chill somewhere
late Kevin vibes for sure
I can't tell you how much
I want to try this bourbon
just so I can say that I did
it sounds like
the most unnecessary thing ever
but at least they didn't form another tequila company
because there's too many tequilas.
Every rich celebrity is just like, you know what?
I want a tequila brand.
Let's do this.
I want tequila brand.
Kate Hudson just dropped the vodka.
Kate Hudson did?
Yeah.
I'll probably try it.
I'll try.
I love Kate Hudson.
Yeah, I support her in all of her endeavors.
I will definitely.
She's fantastic.
She is fantastic.
I blame Entourage for the celebrity influx of liquor sales and liquor companies popping up.
I'll be on one.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That tequila started as a fictional brand right and then it
became a real one or was it the first co-branded kind of like promotion of something
i don't know that's i've always kind of wondered that and i'm sure it's very very easy to look up
we could probably just ask jr hickey and he could probably explain the entire like history of it to us. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.
Um, the rock has a, has a tequila out now too,
called like Terra Mana or something. I mean, come on.
I'm not drinking tequila. I'm not to sound like I'm pretentious,
but I might sound like that right now. But like the rock doesn't put out like
vibes of somebody that I want to drink tequila from.
I drew the line at Clooney.
Because, dude, Casamigos is really good tequila.
This is non-spawn.
The Mezcal stinks, though.
I haven't tried it, but you would know.
I was in a liquor store, and I was looking up all these different Mezcals,
trying to see which one I should get bang for my buck.
And the Cosmigos one had hands down
the worst
reviews of any other one.
Hey guys, somebody
keeps ringing my doorbell. I'll be back in 30.
Hell yeah.
Do you guys think it's
Enzo?
Is Enzo...
It's like, dude, Dave, what up, dog?
Are you taking a walk with Randy today or anything?
Like, we doing anything?
Dude, the Casamigos Mezcal, was it...
Was it Bucciaross we were talking about that with?
Yeah.
You're talking about how the label, like, the bottle is so sick.
That's why I bought it.
Plus, Casamigos, it's a good tequila brand.
It just stinks, man. I'm sorry, Dylan. I'm it. Plus, Casamigos, it's a good tequila brand. It just stinks, man.
I'm sorry, Dylan.
I'm sorry.
It's all right.
Yeah, I remember looking it up and just being like, wow, George would not like to see the Mezcal snobs rating this tequila.
That being said, I never know whether or not to believe these people.
These are just random people most of the time just like complaining online about the acidity
or some random bullshit.
And they're people just like us.
I think, Dylan, you should just start an Instagram account
of just reviewing Mezcal.
Just sniffing.
We also have the match this weekend.
There we go.
We have live golf.
Again, I have higher hopes for this one
just from an entertainment value perspective
than I did with the Skins game.
And it's probably just because I want to hear
from all these people more than anybody else
in the Skins game.
I didn't really care about hearing much from them,
even though we heard a grand total of nothing.
But I think my hopes are not going to get met by this match.
No chance.
Who's with who?
Peyton and Tiger, right?
And Tom and Phil?
I want Tom and Phil in this.
I don't know.
If that's the matchup, I want Tom and Phil in this. I don't know. If that's the matchup, I want...
Look, I...
I am not...
I might not even watch this.
I am so not excited for this at all.
I don't really care to watch amateurs play golf on TV.
I don't care how famous they are.
It just doesn't do anything for me.
See...
I don't know, man.
Amateur is different than, like,
two of the greatest in their craft, though.
Like, two quarterbacks who... But they greatest in their craft, though. Like two quarterbacks.
But they're at football.
I know.
I think Tom is actually a pretty solid golfer.
I don't know about Peyton.
Peyton is as well.
He might be good, too.
If my memory serves me correctly in watching the Pebble Beach Pro-Ams,
I believe that Peyton has a pretty silky smooth little swing.
I could be wrong.
These things are just,
they're like fed lines about like shit talking lines.
I don't know, man.
It just comes off a little hokey to me.
Maybe I'll tune in.
Who knows?
I'm sorry.
You're going to tune in.
It's on Sunday afternoon.
What else do you have to do?
Yeah, I mean, I probably will.
That's going to be on at least one of your tvs around the crib yeah i'm also i'm also completely over phil no he doesn't he doesn't
move the needle for me at all anymore even if he's in like a you know in contention on a sunday
i just still i i just don't i don't want to watch him on TV. He's top candidate for having the most canned lines going into this to talk trash.
Yeah.
Like he's definitely got things in his bag that he's going to bust out and try to like whatever.
He's probably got a bunch of cash in his bag that he's going to try to like pull out on TV just to flex on people.
Yeah.
And has Tom Brady ever really been considered like an elite conversationalist or trash talker?
No, his entire social media brand is based on like production value and like Mimi stuff and funny stuff.
But it's not because he's like an engaging figure who's like you actually hear from.
I mean, is that fair?
Yeah.
I like Tom Brady, though.
I like him.
Yeah, I think you're right.
Like his interviews aren't something that I'm looking forward to seeing
in postgame and things like that.
Oh, man, Dave's got the look on his face of a guy who just got his D kicked.
I'm starting to worry about you, Dave.
Yeah, I thought you might have gotten got.
Sorry.
So it's the lawn guy, and he was just asking what he wanted mowed
or what I want mowed, and then he brought his dogs,
and one of them's a pit,
and the other's a bull-mastiff-pit mix,
and they were just walking around the yard off-leash,
and they were really sweet, but I was like, holy shit.
And Randy's trying to get out the door, and I'm like, nope, we're not doing that.
And I'm wearing this shirt, and he saw that I was a Cowboy fan,
so he wanted to talk about the draft.
And I was like, yeah, man.
And finally, I was just like, dude, I'm on a call.
I'm so sorry.
But yeah, sorry about that.
Do you want to bring him up?
Alyssa's doing a call, a Zoom call, so she couldn't do it.
So I had to hop out.
But yeah, man.
Do you want to bring him up?
We can talk about the draft if he wants to hop on.
Are we still doing the sports minute?
Yeah, Dylan just pooh-poohed
the match completely and said that he's not even going to watch
it this weekend, so that segment went really well.
Are you serious?
You're not going to watch?
It doesn't do anything for me. I'm sorry.
I would much rather watch
a Sunday round on
pretty much any professional tournament than this.
Oh yeah, man. Be nice if we can all
watch that, Dylan, but these are uncertain times.
Why don't you respect that? You're right, Dave.
You're right. Dave, I said that Phil's going to come
in with too many bits. He's going to come in
locked and loaded with a million different things
he's going to do, and it's going to just reek of doing too much
the entire time. That's my only fear.
You're absolutely right. Yeah. I think think it should be better i hope that they learn
from what happened last week on uh on the skins game so no laying up dropped a pod with one of
the guys who's on like the production crew for like the coverage and i listened to a little bit
of it last night and it sounds like from a production standpoint,
this is going to be really, really good.
Perfect.
Like they're going to not step on the players
doing the fun and easy banter and whatnot.
But you know, it's alternate shot, Dylan.
So that's kind of cool.
I did not.
That's good.
Also, did I see that they're playing one of the holes
with just one club?
Seven iron or a hybrid?
I don't know.
Are they playing 18?
Is that a stupid question?
I don't know if it's a stupid question,
but it kind of sounds like a dumb question.
I feel like they would play.
Thanks for your honesty, Will.
Yeah, I'm not really sure, but it probably is.
I hope that doing bits doing
bits is good like i'm glad they're doing alternate shot and they're not doing like best ball or
something like that because alternate shot puts way more pressure on the guys that you know on
brady and manning and so we actually get to see them have to like pull a shot out of their ass
in clutch situations can i give you the lowdown, Will? The format?
It's a two-on-two event, obviously.
It's match play with two different formats on each nine.
So front nine, it's four ball, so best ball.
And the back nine is modified alternate shot.
Each player will tee off to start the hole.
Okay.
Then each team will determine the best drive and then play alternate shots,
switching off which player hits the next shot until the balls hold.
It's an interesting way of putting it.
Lowest score will win the hole, obviously.
Okay, thanks.
All right, that's fun.
Dude, it's interesting how they made the lowest score win the hole.
It's crazy, man.
Shout out to the golf website I just looked at.
Dude, I don't know.
It'll be fun. It'll be a lot better than the skins game yes are we building in handicaps do we know hope not that will be i
don't think so that will take a lot of casual fans out of it if they start if they did that
they need to just make this straight up yeah tom br Tom Brady apparently is an eight, but I don't know if I believe that.
I don't know if I do either.
But I'm also not going to doubt it.
So the front nine is basically just Tiger versus Phil.
And then the back nine is where it's like – because it's like – I don't know.
Unless you're netting handicapped stuff, Tom Brady is not going to beat Phil Mickelson.
Can we get someone to call in maybe sick
and then we can get Michael Jordan in there?
Dude, how do they not get MJ in there?
You got to think if this started happening pre...
He's not going to turn that down.
Pre-Last Dance,
they probably didn't even think about that.
Now it's like,
shit, we need Jordan.
Just him talking about
wanting to take some swings after winning his sixth championship was just like, how, we need Jordan. Just him talking about wanting to take some swings
after winning his sixth championship was just like,
how do you not get that guy for your celebrity golf event?
Dude, man.
I would pay to watch that.
Sorry, Randy's so tweaked out right now.
He smells these dogs,
and he's just pacing around this room right now
trying to get out there,
but I can't let him out
because they would just demolish him.
I just feel like bringing your dogs to work to mow someone's lawn
just isn't the move.
Yeah, I mean, it was cool to meet Oreo and Buddy.
Oreo.
But I can see how somebody might be intimidated by them because I'm not kidding.
He told me that the Mastiff mix was like 110 pounds and he was absolute unit.
I was like, dude, you can't just have this on the porch when I open the door.
Yeah, you can't be doing that.
There are certain jobs that you can't just bring your dogs to.
And I think mowing lawns is one of them.
I don't know, though.
I've never mowed one, so I'm not not really sure but it just feels like not all right so you're gonna like there's gonna
be a bunch of like mastiff pit bull mix poops in your yard that you have to go pick up he's
gonna throw all those in your in your uh garbage thing on the side of your house
dude there's absolute those things are gonna drop some absolute bombs on my
my yard oh my god He's using it as fertilizer.
So what channel?
This is on like five channels, right?
This is like the whole TNT, TBS.
Bleacher report kind of situation.
Yeah.
I don't hate that. I don't hate it. We'll figure it out.
Not too worried.
I'll watch it. Whatever. I'll watch.
So Justin Thomas is going to be out there on the
course kind of doing the bones thing the walk-alongs with the guys that'll be that'll be
good get some commentary from j i like jt i know y'all are out on him i i've turned around on jt
i used to not like him and now i like him this this could be a very big turning point for me
dave this could either make me absolutely hate him or it could make me love him if he plays his cards right. I have a feeling it's going to go one way over the other, but
this is a big turning point for JT. I'm really hoping, I'm hoping that my expectations are
exceeded here, but they couldn't have gotten someone with a little bit more personality?
He doesn't have much, does he? Dude, I think he does. Compared to a lot of those guys, he'll give you a good quote.
Apparently, he knows all those dudes fairly well.
He'll be able to give you insight on if he knows Tom Brady's game
and Peyton's game a little bit.
That'll be cool to hear him be like,
Oh, yeah, dude, no, Tom has the shot.
I've seen him hit it.
I don't know.
This could be really humiliating and emasculating for tom brady though because like i mean he's like if he
goes out there and like what if he what if he just starts thinning shots what if he just starts
blading them out of the bunker like we need that's humiliating we need pro tracer on every amateur
shot that there is also i absolutely need that i bet jt's doing this because he and tiger are
pretty tight i think i believe that they're reasonably good friends, if I'm not mistaken.
I could be incorrect on that, but I think that they have a good relationship.
They do.
And then you got Charles Barkley doing commentary like he did for the first match,
which I don't need it, but I'm not mad about it.
Makes sense.
I'll take that.
That's a win for me.
You guys got any other sports?
No.
Parks is trying to get me.
Are you going to buy something?
Are you copping a dinosaur again?
Another dinosaur, dude.
This isn't about spending money.
He just wants me to set something up for him on TV,
and he's just not giving up we have hella distractions today did you guys already
discuss the espn last night no i don't think we should i think it's going to bring us down too
much and we got more to get to i think we just move on i'll watch i'll watch it's honestly i
watched the i watched it the moment the ninth inning and and it's the first time I've gone back and watched it.
How'd that feel?
Very, very sad because just remembering all the players on that team
and how likable that team was and, like, so many good dudes,
Kinsler, Beltre, and Wash.
It just made me so sad knowing what was going to happen
and it's just like dude i love i love those guys kinsler and beltray elvis oh elvis was so happy
oh god damn it hurts i remember where i was for that which i shouldn't because i was not a rangers
fan but i was just sitting there and i was like oh my god you got to be kidding me. I felt so bad for you guys. Yeah, it hurt.
It still hurts.
One of those people who were there say that they could hear pools running the bases.
That's how quiet it was there.
It's terrible.
Let's not relive this, guys.
Let's move on.
Let's not do this to ourselves.
Or to yourselves.
Not me.

I mean...
Welcome back, Alert.
If you can make mailing stuff easier, I'm on board with you.
Let's put it that way.
Oh, yeah.
I guess we have...
We kind of have a combo platter to finish this out today.
We've got...
I mean, so the Texas bars are reopening.
Are we... Are there any other... how many other states have bars reopening oklahoma pots possibly georgia florida
i know oklahoma i know at the same time yeah 25 indoors outdoors
unrestricted for at least for a bar uh i won't be getting out this weekend but i worry about
the amount of people like who are going to go out just for the novelty and just to say they were out
that first night and they're going to post grams which i'm not hating on the gram would never do such a thing but i just think
it's going to be the lines are going to be backed out into the streets and it's just potentially
going to be a uh a problem in the next two weeks i'm worried about the unrestricted outdoor zones
and how many people are going to try to take advantage of that dude it's just not going to even be worth it it's not going to even if you didn't have to worry about
a virus going around like it's just going to be so crowded and packed and like idiots who haven't
partied in forever like it's just going to be obnoxious i mean if i'm 20 if i'm like 23 when
this happens like i'm probably like fiending to get back out there and don't care
but 10 years later uh bar hopping will has kind of taken a back seat and i have zero need
to go do this yeah this isn't so much about bars but i just i'm fiending to just step out and just
get away from the house and do just pretty much anything um bars a bar that's 25 filled that's actually that that's
kind of my scene so i would love to be there that's a good point it's kind of the dream yeah
yeah that's the dream man i hate packed bars but i just i just want to do something i don't i don't
care what it is i'll just get me out of here all right so like i don't know what to believe anymore
about all this i don't either
are people gonna be outside with their beers are they people gonna be having masks on and like
beers in their hands standing outside if i can't go to the grocery store without taking a mask off
why can i go to a bar and like sip a beer they say the outdoors is about as safe as you can be
that's the that's the only thing.
Okay.
I'm about to be this guy.
I just heard something this morning that they're saying now that six feet might not be enough, and if you're outside,
the wind can take your 18,000, 2,000 particles of saliva in 18 feet.
It's just like, dude, at some point, what are you going to do?
I mean, one person sneezes and we got a Zach Morris timeout situation happening.
It's like, all right, who did that?
You're getting out of here.
First sneeze, I'm leaving.
If I'm in a restaurant, the dude next to me even like chokes on something and coughs,
I'm just throwing deuce.
I'll throw down a $20 bill and I'm leaving.
Okay.
If we're allowed to go into
restaurants and bars now,
does that mean we don't have to wear a mask?
I know we kind of talked about this already.
Don't have to wear a mask in a store?
Like the grocery store?
Because if you're in a bar, and some of them obviously are inside.
Most of them are.
You take your mask off to drink whatever you're sipping on.
I don't get it.
Employees, like the wait staff, they're going to have gloves and masks on.
I don't – I mean, obviously that does not extend to the patrons
because you can't eat or drink with a mask on.
Okay.
There's a problem with the oak, boys.
No outdoor seating?
The oak, no, there is.
So that's where I ate my burger last night.
It came grilled chicken sandwich.
It was outdoors.
Got it to go.
They brought it out to my table.
I sat there and ate it outside.
Now, the problem with the oak is that inside,
people are whooping it up on a Monday night.
Oh, nice.
Tuesday night.
They're literally catching the fever.
They are literally catching the fever.
Keeping it real goes wrong.
We've all just been caged animals
for the past two and a half months.
And Dave's theory is right.
People were buckled at the bar
on a Tuesday
oh man that gives me anxiety
dude you know what I haven't been
I haven't been legitimately hung over in
over two months and I haven't really enjoyed it
like I don't know if I want to go back
I don't want to go back to like
going and dropping
$60 on drinks at a bar
because I ordered like three old fashions
and then feeling like death the next day.
It's been fun just drinking Vizzy's at home
or Pacifico's at home,
whatever I've been drinking.
Yeah, but our going out, Dave,
is now a restaurant with the squad
and we call it a night by 10 o'clock.
We're group dinner people.
That's our going out.
And that i do miss
i don't know when the next time i'll go to a busy bar is like like one that's like packed
because i have no need to go there normally and now with all this stuff like it's going
to be months from now that i'm very interested in your experience when uh
when you actually see the oak with like a line outside like what you're what you're gonna
feel like you're gonna like go full documentarian on it. It was jarring, to say the least.
So what I did was after our live happy hour, happy hour live, whatever,
I called in the takeout order and went down to pick it up and just sat outside.
And they brought it out to me.
But you could see inside through the windows.
It's bad, Dave. It's bad.
Was a Papa shop machine going or what? That doesn't seem very COVID friendly.
Sorry, you guys, I lost audio for a second.
Cause my sister called me and so I can't hear anything. Sick.
My question was not important.
It's a great question though. Like you got to think Papa shots,
not particularly sanitary
in these uncertain times you're right you're right i mean we're okay if we're not going to
go to bars this weekend let's at least talk about what we are going to do this weekend it's time for
this weekend in quarantine and guess what we're sponsoring this by liquid iv right now oh hell
yeah dave just talked about those hangovers i do kind of miss them partially
because my liquid iv intake was just skyrocketing but for me i mean as a guy that's you know started
working out more liquid iv is just in the rotation day after day whether it's acai or lemon lime or
something else i don't care passion passion fruit slaps all of them go hard every time i have one
i'm like oh i think this is my favorite one then i I move on to the next one. I'm like, ah, dude, I think this is my favorite one.
It's just hard to say. But if you're not familiar with liquid IV, it's an easy,
healthy solution for dehydration. One stick of liquid IV and 16 ounces of water hydrates you
faster and more efficiently than water alone. And each serving provides as much hydration as
two to three bottles of water plus vitamin C, B3, B5, B6, and B12.
If you're dehydrated, try Liquid IV's fastest, most efficient way to stay hydrated.
We all use this regularly, and that is not a stretch at all.
My cupboard is absolutely stocked with it.
It's a nice mix-up when you're working out just to taste something different than just cold water.
Absolutely. And if you're, if you sweat a ton, like I do, then, you know, you got to get those
electrolytes back. You got to get hydrated. So liquid IV is very, a very good friend of a guy
who runs outside now, like myself. They're also doing good during this, uh, this uncertain time.
They're donating 2.3 million
servings in response to covid19 products are being donated to hospitals first responders
food banks veterans and active military they're on a mission to change the world we got to support
that uh right now liquid iv is available nationwide at target whole foods and costco or
you can go get 25 off when you go to liquidiv.com and use code circling back at checkout.
That's 25% off anything you order when you use promo code circling back at liquidiv.com.
Get better hydration today at liquidiv.com, promo code circling back.
And like I said, you can also find them nationwide at Target, Whole Foods, or Costco.
All right, Dylan, start us off.
What are you doing this weekend?
Friday night, of course, we have the happy hour, which I am excited. I get really excited for
those, man. They're fun. I will have parks Friday and Saturday. And we've got a little text going
on between me and my two sisters and brother-in-law. We might try to get a swim in somewhere.
Most places are still closed, unfortunately. But if some are open, oflaw, we might try to get a swim in somewhere. Most places are still closed, unfortunately,
but if some are open,
of course, we will take
necessary precautions, but we want to go
swimming. I want to step out and
I need to catch some sun,
get some color, and just do something
active outside of the crib.
Hopefully, that happens.
Then, Sunday, I guess I'm going to watch that
golf shit. don't know
that's pretty much all i got come on come on i'm doing the same with the golf shit
is that sunday sunday baby oh hell yeah i'll be doing that um also i I'm going to be seeing my parents for the first time since Christmas.
Really?
So, yeah, I'm headed up there.
Going to go say hi to the fam.
We'll be fun.
So I may be doing a live stream from Duncanville, Texas, Friday night,
which has never been done before.
Can we get your parents on?
Maybe.
Don't give my dad any ideas.
Trust me, he would definitely pop on.
That's scary.
I'm thinking about my parents coming on,
and I don't know if I want that to happen.
Just don't let them read the comments.
Yeah, one negative comment about either of my parents,
and I'm like, I'm going to go find somebody in the comments section
and beat the piss out of them it would take heavy block hand yeah
it would take nothing to make me do that any big plans in the little d uh no not really at all
gonna gonna maybe swim so that's cool gonna gonna get in the pool see if randy's so randy's randy's
taking a liking to the standing
water like our we got a little creek that fills up when it rains and randy's been jumping in there
to cool off you probably see me on at dc rough posting stories on instagram i'm interested to
see if he uh likes to wants to jump in the pool because he's been in there but like he's not like
a water dog that like is just loving it swimming with everybody. So we'll see how that goes.
Dave, Rosie and Randy need to squat up because they're standing water dogs only.
Not trying to get a swim off.
Yeah, Rosie just likes to paw at the water and just sit in it and just cool off.
That's his play.
Yeah, nothing else.
I mean, I've got a similar weekend, guys.
I don't have much brewing.
Friday night, happy hour live. Go subscribe on YouTube. And then Saturday,
Sally's working all day, so I'm just solo. I don't know what I'm going to do. Bundesliga.
Dave, maybe we can catch some of that. We can maybe text about it and just get in there.
But yeah, I don't know. Maybe take Rosie somewhere. And then Sunday,
we're heading out to Sally's parents' house
for her dad's birthday.
We're having a little pool action out there.
I don't know.
Nothing major.
Nothing crazy.
Just enjoying ourselves.
Hanging.
Sounds like Saturday's for the boy.
Saturday is for the boy and Rosie.
It's very exciting stuff.
Hey, if you go to Zilker at all, let me know.
I will, Dylan.
I will say this.
If I'm going to Zilker this weekend, it will be Sunday morning because it's too damn hot outside.
And I went last Sunday morning from 10 to 11, and I will say it was a very pleasant dog park experience.
Yeah. Maybe we can link, and I'll bring it was a very pleasant dog park experience. Yeah.
Maybe we can link and I'll bring homegirl, man.
I really want to meet homegirl.
There was a girl at the park the other day
who was just blasting System of a Down
while laying in her hammock.
It didn't do a lot for me.
Kind of took me off.
I was just like, what are you doing?
That's not a park vibe.
No.
I always hated System of a Down.
I did too.
I thought people that like, not everybody that liked them,
but I just thought that like there was something wrong with people that liked them as much as they liked them.
I was just like, what?
There are so many better bands out there.
Chop Suey, like I hated that song.
I might be wrong in System of a Down fans though,
because I haven't,
I've only listened to that,
like one or two songs that they are known for.
So I'm not going to go too deep on that.
Big game.
Big game.
Yeah.
Uh,
doing,
doing some of the same that you guys are doing kind of all,
all three of y'all hanging,
seeing some old friends.
Um,
yeah, that's kind of just lowall. Tanyan, seen some old friends.
Yeah,
that's kind of just low-key. Litty.
Tight.
Well,
we went long today, guys.
We could have gone longer, too. I apologize again.
I apologize again. I feel like I was gone for 20 minutes. You weren't.
Yeah, we had a
distraction-filled day between the homie trying to
get TV set up rosie
started whining about two seconds in so i've just been petting her the entire episode
and uh and dave's dave's draft expert showing up with his two pitbulls you know we we appreciate
you guys listening and uh bearing with us during this trying time i think it was one of the most
distraction filled episodes but i think we did a good job of covering it up i don't feel too bad
about it literally i literally am trying to go back inside, and he goes,
what do you think about the draft?
I'm like, dude.
I'm getting a pot off right now.
I just got a text from someone that I haven't heard from in years saying,
I just saw you on TV.
So shouts to bird dogs.
Our fire.
Yeah, no one's texted me about that no one even though i'm
with you in the screenshot i am not i have not gotten one person reaching out to me about that
ad i feel like jay bone dude i got bumped yeah you got bumped that's okay you got a lot of you
got a lot of play in the original ad so you should feel happy about that i still haven't seen it on
tv yet but i haven't been watching the golf channel. So obviously that's why.
Same.
All right,

let's get out of here.
We'll be back Friday.
