All right, we're back.
Circling Back Podcast coming to you live from the Lodge.
Presented by Vizzy Hart Seltzer, the only Hart Seltzer.
With vitamin C and superfruit acerola. name is will defriest to my left david that boy
ralph i will be making an early exit today i've got a heart out i've got to skip the remainder
of the pod to go dove hunting happy september 1st i thought you said you had a hard something else
seltzer busy hard selt Busy hard seltzer.
A hard seltzer is what I was talking about.
Is today opening day or was it yesterday, David?
I thought it was September 1st.
I thought so too, but I'm already seeing pictures on the Grom from some of my friends. They were up this morning.
As if you're not going to get up early and hunt some doves, man.
That's a quick turnaround for the Grom.
I just like, you know, just sitting on top of a cooler,
having a couple of cold beers,
and just blasting some birds with the guys,
listening to some Pat Green.
That sounds sick.
My friend's lease.
My buddy's ranch out in Llano.
I fucking love it, dude.
You know what I always tell people?
If it flies, it dies.
Are you doing Pierce?
Yeah, I'm Pierce. It's kind of a Are you doing Pierce? Yeah, I'm Pierce.
It's kind of a Coach O Pierce hybrid.
Yeah, I'm fine with that, though.
No one knows Pierce, but they will one day.
You know, I did lean back in my chair at Lafitte's Blacksmith,
and I said to Pierce, we need to hang out more.
And you know what we've done since then?
You haven't hung out.
We haven't communicated once.
That's all right.
We'll see him at –
It's weird because, like, drunken, like, we should hang out more.
Conversations usually result in hanging out more. We'll see him at It's weird because like drunken like we should hang out more Conversations usually result in hanging out more
We'll see him on 9-11
Hey noted PGP writer Gnome
He wrote a column one time that his most accurate column
Maybe ever written but you can't be best friends
With someone unless you get blackout drunk with them
Well yeah
That's why I don't really like Dylan
Dylan I don't fucking drink
I don't know what either of y'all are doing right now
no seriously we will see pierce on 9-11 right and that what micah's thing is yep
yep yep can't wait very cool can't wait so um but anyway so yeah i've got a balance to go dove
hunting oh that's okay have you ever been dove hunting well no i haven't i would actually love
to do it uh it's probably the easier, low-maintenance hunts.
Yeah.
I've gone on record saying that my days of hunting big game, they're gone.
I'm not doing that anymore.
If I'm going to be hunting something, it's going to be a dumb bird.
Didn't you kill a rhino and take its horn?
Dude, we don't talk about that.
We don't want to get me canceled.
For medicinal purposes?
Yeah.
I actually went to Africa, and I went on a big hunt and yeah was it with mike i just kill things
yeah one of the softer things about me is i don't shoot anything bigger than a bird yeah i don't i
don't want to i don't like it man i one time i killed that hog and and just a hog and i still
i didn't like that no like yeah so i don't fish why i do not like to
fish well okay you're not doing that because you feel bad for the fish no i just don't like it i
don't like to touch them too hard to go patient enough for it i don't like to be out on a boat
maybe the patience thing is something you need to look further into dylan maybe it's not the
fishing that that's causing this maybe it's just your your life i don't have time for that wait
what is it you're too impatient to work on your patience.
You might have just answered this exactly, but what is it you don't like about fishing?
They're squirmy.
I don't like the worms.
All of it, really.
Oh, really?
When I fish, I hope that I don't catch one because then I'll have to touch it.
Like I said, it's a very soft thing about me.
Yeah, it is soft.
I'll be honest.
It is pretty soft to you.
Bro, I'll teach you how to tie a fly, bro.
I just don't like to fish, man.
Can you actually tie a fly? I don't think you can. Yeah, I can. We're out is pretty soft to eat. Bro, I'll teach you how to tie a fly, bro. I just don't like to fish, man. Can you actually tie a fly?
I don't think you can.
Yeah, I can.
We were out of my buddy's place.
So a few minutes ago, Randy was closing the curtains behind me right here.
Was that symbolic?
And he just, he absolutely rocked me with his giant dump truck ass.
Really?
He just rocked my shit.
Like, jolted me forward.
I was like, oh my God.
And it was just, I turned around and it was just booty meat right in my face.
Is he rocking the shorts that you used to wear to the gym?
I can't tell.
What if Randy shopped at Goodwill and started getting Dylan's old clothes
that Bay donated for him?
That would be so good.
Did you donate those clothes?
I haven't yet, but I'm about to.
Can we bring him into the studio and we can go through him?
One last fit.
A lot of shoes, too.
Well, Dylan, one last fit.
You can walk the runway, strut that ass.
Should I?
We'll do content with it.
Dude, dump that trash bag out for a player.
I want to see what you're getting rid of.
There's some suits in there, man.
That's nice.
Nice suits.
You're just going to get rid of your suits.
Must be nice.
They're not, like, good suits, but they are suits.
Is she making you get rid of all your pinstripe suits?
Your zoot suits?
I've never had that.
His leisure suit.
The ones that drag on the ground?
Your Tracy McGrady draft suit?
My pinstripe suit that I wear when I pull out the Tommy gun.
Let it start singing.
Eh.
Eh, sorry.
Eh.
What does it sing?
A Newfound Glory song?
Back up.
No.
I still choose my friends over you.
We unfortunately did a little session before today's recording
that included some Newfound Glory.
And I have to say, very embarrassed that I used to stand them.
Man, it brought me back to a place when I was like 17 or 18
and just I thought every one of those songs was just like man written about my
life like no one else is just mine i'm the one it brought me back to literally nowhere as i did not
ever listen to that music it brought you back to beating up nerds in the parking lot you put off
never really listened to music vibes okay do you know i was big in rap i was big into texas country
didn't you review donda and you'd never actually listen to it?
People are wondering
I actually have done a listen of Donda
You guys want to hear my takes?
Yeah
Oh
Yes
There are some very good songs on this album
Whoa
Some very good songs
Dude
I actually don't even think
Off the Grid is the best song on the album
That's why I like having you on
Because you're not afraid to go there
Which one do you like better?
I don't know the names yet.
I've only liked them on Spotify
so that they stay there. I'm going to
do the thing that I do with some albums, including
the last two Taylor Swift albums,
where I just cherry pick the songs
that I like the most and make a playlist out of those
and never listen to the other songs ever again.
That's what I do. Because the album's 26
tracks. It's too much.
You don't want to put on shuffle and hear the Donda chant.
Dude, I think Donda chant might be the best song on the album.
It's not.
I'm going to do a live performance of it right now.
Don't.
Donda.
Stop.
Donda.
It gives me anxiety.
Donda.
Wow, it looks like you know every word.
Donda.
Donda.
I'm going to give it another listen through.
I think you should.
But so far, I'm not impressed.
You should blaze one for a player and just listen to it straight through.
Stop.
Okay.
Stop what you're doing.
Okay.
You're not going to blaze one for a player?
I don't think so.
Okay, that's fine.
Did you know there's a tropical storm, Larry?
No, I did not know that.
It's in the eastern tropical Atlantic,
but I just...
Larry is just funny.
I don't think there's anything funny
about big storms, David.
It's not big yet.
It's just tropical.
But Larry...
Don't hate it because it's tropical.
I mean, sorry.
It's not like...
Has there been like a tropical storm, Dave?
Probably David.
David A.
I don't think I've been part of a will at this point.
Hurricane D-Man?
Yeah, Hurricane D-Man has legs.
Hurricane Dave is funny.
Has there been a Dylan in recent memory?
I don't know.
There was Hurricane Chris.
Chris Chris?
Yeah.
What's up, losers?
Pretty good. Look at this guy i i listen to dallas texas uh local radio i'm a sports guy you also listen to buffalo uh local radio because when sometimes we come in
here in the morning breast is in here getting the getting the sabers updates on the stream
brett did something that i i just couldn't do and And what he did is that when he moved away from his local teams,
he got more into them, I think,
whereas I kind of abandoned ship on a lot of stuff.
But it also didn't help that every Detroit team after I moved to Texas
just got terrible.
That's fair.
But to speak to Brett and his fervor for the Sabres, the Sabres are also terrible. And so I respect what he's fair. But to speak to Brett and his fervor for the Sabres,
the Sabres are also terrible.
And so I respect what he's doing.
Have they traded Eichel yet?
Everyone's wondering.
Dude, he's going to be a Golden Knight.
You've got to think.
That's what people are saying.
Man.
How many Golden Knights players can you name right now?
Marchissimo or whatever that dude's name is.
I can name a few off the roster at the end of the season.
I don't know how many have departed since then.
You're not following the offseason roster moves?
How'd their draft go?
I'll put them in the highlights.
I've got to check the melt.
You guys see the Red Wings drafted a dude named Red Savage?
Red Savage?
Yeah.
That's kind of sick.
Yeah.
My sources tell me that he might have been drafted a little too high due to the name.
If we want to talk Savage.
Is Fred Savage doing anything lately?
We were talking about Southeastern Oklahoma, the school, and they had to change their name.
They were previously the Savages and, you know, had to change that.
I think they're now the Savage Storm, which is kind of tight.
Yeah, the Savage Storm.
Damn.
It's not just a storm.
It's a savage storm.
Like, you're outside, and you're like, the wind starts blowing, the pressure drops,
and you're like, whoa, this storm is savage.
Oh.
I am apparently the only one who finds that cool.
No, I just – Or savage just i'm trying to think i'm trying to
think like last night sally was making dinner and she uh decided to uh include some more spice in
the dinner and i told her i was like damn i didn't know i married a savage right and then she started
singing that that song like 21 i'm a savage 21 savage no no the megan the stallion song oh yeah savage something something
something what was she cooking ratchet and i was like don't call yourself ratchet like you're a
savage you're not ratchet she's kind of ratchet no don't like low-key don't call her ratchet what
did y'all have for dinner oh dude what did we have for dinner last night? We had some salmon salads.
The salmon was quite spicy, quite garlicky.
It's a spicy salmon.
And then we added some truff to the salmon at the end of it, I have to say.
A mega truff scene. It was a mega truff scene last night.
Very happy about that.
Dude, we had taco flats last night.
Tea flats?
Yeah.
Shit.
A little overpriced.
Taco fleasies.
A little overpriced.
Dude, I haven't been back since you and I went when I finally found the tacos there that jive with me the best. I need to go back. Dude, I haven't been back since you and I went, and when I finally found the tacos there that jive with me the best.
I need to go back soon.
Your boy had those last night.
Didn't you say you had taco frats?
Yeah, that's what I call it.
Really?
Uh-huh.
Went in there, ordered a Natty Light with a lime.
They do have good drinks.
Uh-huh.
Did you have any drinks?
I had a Spicy Marg.
I tried to do an impromptu trip to, what's our place down the street?
Lupe.
Tortilla.
For some haas.
And Alyssa's like, I don't think it'll work because Rose is going to be,
I'm going to have to feed him a bottle.
And I was like, okay, that's fine.
She could tell I wanted to go.
She's like, why don't you just go and sit at the bar by yourself?
Just go.
And I was like, I don't want to do that.
And I didn't. I would have been like, hell yeah, I'm going to go sit at the bar by yourself? Just go. And I was like, I don't want to do that. And I didn't.
I would have been like, hell yeah.
I'm going to go sit at the bar by myself.
I thought about it.
I really did think about it.
I was like, that does sound kind of tight.
Although it is Tuesday night.
Oh, Tuesday night.
Hey, we got a bunch of programming notes.
You guys ready for this?
Wow, what's going on there?
Small Biz September has returned.
If you guys remember, last September, we featured some small businesses owned by backers,
and we're going to do that again this September.
And being September 1, it's time.
Our first one today is from a good friend of the podcast.
You've heard him on Sunday Scaries before, and you've probably heard us talk about it before.
It's Black Dog River Guides, owned and operated by Fly Fishing Charlie.
It's the premier fly fishing outfitter in the backer family.
Black Dog River Guides is based in Eagle, Colorado
where they offer full and half-day
guided fly fishing trips. They provide
everything from rods to waders to everything
in between. And you can use promo code
BACKER15 at checkout. It'll give you
15% off a guided fly fishing trip
or anything in their shop. They have
awesome shirts, hats, and sweatshirts all for sale
at BlackDogRiverGuides.com
and you can follow them on the Grom.
Dog.
Black Dog River Guides.
Dude, I love fly fishing, Charlie.
I can speak very highly about fly fishing, Charlie, because he is my fly fishing mentor.
He's actually in town right now, and I think we're going to grab some beers this week.
He's not my mentor, but if I were to get into fly fishing, I'd go to him.
If he saw you being squeamish about touching a fish, he would just think so little of you.
And you know what? I think he already does. I'm secure
in my own skin. I don't need to impress
anybody with my masculine. Or your own scales.
Scales!
Like a fish. Right, yeah, I get it, David.
Also, go mash that Fiji
button. You guys ever heard of Stephen Tripoli?
He's a day one backer, and he recently launched
a new food product brand called Fiji,
which is based on a treat his aunt Vincenzina in Italy always used to send their family as a kid.
Made just south of the Toges in the beautiful Hudson Valley of New York,
Fiji products consist of delicious fig and nut bites.
We're big nut bite fans here.
Man, it'd be a real shame if they sent us some fig and nut bites.
I am snacking.
It's perfect for on-the-go snacking.
Dude, no.
And the newest addition to the charcuterie board.
For more info, you can check out the site FijiSnacks.com
or on IG, you can go to at eat Fiji, F-I-C-H-I.
F-I-C-H-I.
Fiji.
Oh, Fiji.
Any relation to Christina Fiji?
A classic Italian treat. I don't know if there is any relation to her. Oh, F-H-I. Any relation to Christina Fiji?
I don't know if there is any relation to her.
I want to try this, man.
Yeah, I do too.
It looks lit.
It sounds dope.
Dude, shouts to Aunt Vicenzia. Please support small business during the month of September.
Like, especially.
You should support other small businesses as well,
but you can also support us by going to patreon.com
slash circlingbackpodcast.
We did a Worst Of episode yesterday.
Have to say, the crank story just got me going. I absolutely love it.
Gross, dude. Yeah.
For me, it was the glasses.
That's the one that I loved.
Don't spoil the glasses story for those at home.
I'm not. That's behind the paywall.
That is in the back
end of the paywall. There's a guy who climaxed
so hard he passed out. Okay, why don't you
just recap the entire thing? You picked the other one?
Couldn't be me.
Dang. Do you know what happened to his glasses?
Yeah, I was here.
That has never happened to anyone.
If you're on the fence about it, we're going to
toss up a free preview of yesterday's episode
on the main feed today
that you're listening to right now. Go check
that out. If you head over to Patreon, you can even get a
yearly subscription for 10% off.
Yes, I said 10% off.
Also, we're doing Happy Hour Live tonight over on our YouTube channel,
youtube.com slash watchmedia.
No clue what we're doing tonight for it, but we're going to be brainstorming today,
so we'll figure out something fun.
Come join us.
Are we going to have the guy from Red Zone on?
Yeah, we're going to have him on to preview the NFL.
Should I get Tim Howard on?
Let's get Tim.
I feel like that would be very good for you and Tim to just talk,
but Dylan and I have got nothing to throw into that.
Hey, man, I watched you in the World Cup that one time.
That's what I would have to say.
You'd probably enjoy that.
Okay.
Also, go follow Circling Backpot and watch media on the Grom.
Leave a review and five-star rating.
We'll read all your reviews from this week on Monday's podcast.
Tell a friend about the podcast.
And, yeah, that's it.
That's it.
Very cool.
Why don't we just get Fly Fish and Charlie on?
We can.
He'll probably be Fly Fish.
He's probably got shit to do, man.
He's hanging.
He's got a cool logo, too.
His logo's all the time.
He's got products on there you can go check out.
Highly recommend if you're up there.
He has made Fly Fishing for me much more approachable.
I'm scared to go out without him at this point, but I'll get there.
I think I'm going to go with him this week at some point.
Before we get into it today, let's talk about our friends over at Vizzy.
The option with something extra always makes your choice easier.
Duh.
And as the first hard sell with antioxidant vitamin C,
Vizzy brings something unique and delicious to the table.
You have to think that there's going to be some Vizzys getting tipped back
during tonight's happy hour live.
Well, yeah.
I will say this.
This is the last week for a lot of people out there of summer.
We still have summer weather down here for about, I don't know,
six more months.
Vizzy season rolls on.
15 minutes.
No, Vizzy season rolls on.
It rolls on.
But being Labor Day weekend, ultimate Vizzy time.
Yeah.
Like, this is your time to absolutely shine with the Vizzy.
If you are drinking Vizzy out there,
please go tag us on the Grom.
Tag me on the Grom.
Tag me on the Grom.
And just make it happen.
Vizzy is the first hard seltzer
crafted with antioxidant vitamin C
extracted from acerola cherry,
a super fruit with 30 times more vitamin C
per cup than an orange.
Just so much vitamin C.
My brain can't even compute
how much vitamin C is in this.
Well, it's 30 times.
So just times 30.
Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
Okay.
You there?
Sorry, I'm rattled right now.
Yeah.
Whoa.
There are plenty of hard sausages to choose from,
but with eight bold and delicious dual fruit flavors
and the antioxidant vitamin C,
Vizzy makes the choice a little bit easier,
and it's a lot tastier.
It never hurts to add some vitamins and antioxidants to the mix.
With Vizzy, you can enjoy a refreshment now with antioxidant vitamin C
and at 5% ABV, 100 calories, and less than 1 gram of real cane sugar per can.
Every sip is more exhilarating.
Can you imagine drinking something with more than 1 gram of real cane sugar per can?
I can't.
Not me.
It's not necessary when there's Vizzy right there in front of you.
Upgrade your hard seltzer to Vizzy.
To find out where you can purchase Vizzy, go to VizzyHardSeltzer.com.
That's VizzyHardSeltzer.com.
Must be 21 or older.
David, we have a story that I think you need to champion right now.
What's that?
Bishop Sicko Mode.
Right.
Yeah, so we talked about this a little bit on Monday.
Too much dip.
Not on here.
But every day, and it seems like every hour more is coming out as the Internet has done their research.
But essentially you have Bishop Sycamore, the, in quotes, school, that was featured on ESPNU in a game against IMG Academy.
Noted powerhouse.
Just a beast of a school.
And in mid-game, you had the commentators start to realize that they had been duped.
That Bishop Sycamore...
They didn't even realize that it wasn't a real school.
They were like, wait, these guys aren't...
They supposedly had a number of
d1 prospects uh that was not the case and the roster wasn't completely filled out and come to
find out they had just played a game uh two nights prior which uh if you're unfamiliar with uh i feel
like football at any level you don't play you don't play two games in 72 hours, let alone 48 hours.
Dave, I didn't want to say anything about this
because I didn't want to offend you on the too-much-dip front,
but y'all were too early on this.
We were.
I'm sorry.
You guys were too early.
Dave's tweet that could have gone mega didn't
because I think we were just too early on it.
Dave, one thing I didn't know until yesterday
was that they were scheduled
to play your Duncanville Panthers this week.
I saw that Monday after we recorded it, and I was like,
dude, how did I not know this?
But, yeah, so they were September 10th.
They're supposed to play Duncanville, which is where I went to high school.
Next week.
Sorry, I said this week.
No, that's okay.
And Duncanville has since canceled said game due to the uh ongoing scrutiny uh bishop sycamore which i mean like i you
probably know the story by now but just a quick rundown like so it started as like an online
charter school christians of faith academy and then they essentially changed it to Bishop Sycamore, which the weird
thing is, like, schools that are named after, like, so you have Bishop whatever, Bishop
Dunn in Dallas, named after a bishop at, like, the local diocese, the Catholic Church or
whatever.
I don't think there is an actual Bishop Sycamore, like, in Columbus, Ohio.
I think they just made this up, just like they've made up everything else.
Is it an actual school or not?
I'm still unclear on that. It's a duplex, right?
Well, it's listed. If you go to
its address, it was
apparently it was
like a library, and then
now it's just like a home, like a house.
Right, I saw that.
No. Is there like a virtual
class angle to it? Are there teachers?
No, there's none listed
And their website, which was down
I went to it earlier
It says it's coming soon
It's still down
Our site is coming soon, yeah
Here's a question
Are all the kids on this team kids?
No, a lot of them are Juco dropouts
I love that
Like some of
Yeah, I mean like some of them are like 20 years old
Like you got Randy at tailback
just putting that
dump truck of an ass
in the backfield
how did they
and they absolutely
got destroyed by IMG
I didn't get to that part
how did they find
find their way
on schedules of other teams
that's what I don't get
there's a marketing company
called Paragon
which is apparently legit
sounds sketchy
and they are the ones
who set up these matchups
like they set up
Duncanville versus IMG
last season
they set up these
nationwide matchups and they work with ESPN to IMG last season. They set up these nationwide matchups
and they work with ESPN
to get them put on.
And they're the ones
getting the blame
because they apparently
didn't do their vetting.
Well, yeah, they must feel
like a pair of goons right now.
Okay.
Dude, they're a pair of gone
off that schedule.
So anyway.
This is such a wild story.
I don't get it.
I can't... It's one't get it. I can't.
It's one of these things where I can't fathom.
It's almost like watching the Elizabeth Holmes documentary or the WeWork documentary.
She's on trial right now.
I can't fathom how many things have to go right in order for this to pan out as long as it panned out for.
It makes no sense to me.
Apparently these players on the football team were recruited by people who were promising them all kinds of exposure and whatnot,
I guess recruiting opportunities if they would play for the team,
which is so strange considering there is no school.
Some of these guys are out of high school.
They're too old to even be in high school.
They have a max preps page, and it just has their record of like last year
it was 0-6, and it doesn't have like a roster.
So I guess that's part of the reason why they couldn't be vetted,
which seems like a red flag to me.
The ESPN broadcast, the commentators, of course,
are given like rosters beforehand so they can learn the names and whatnot.
There were like 18 people on it when they were handed the roster.
That's tough.
That's the size of the Harbor Springs High School football team.
You have guys playing both ways of the ball, on the ball.
Like you have guys just – everybody's just kind of chipping in where they can.
So, of course, IMG Academy, who's an absolute powerhouse,
just wiped the floor with them.
Yeah, and I knew Duncanville was going to cancel.
I think most of the teams on their schedule have canceled.
But I did kind of want to see.
I wanted to see the clown show.
Can I say something a little scummy?
If you're Duncanville, don't you just want to play them
and pad your boys' stats up so they can get all-state and stuff?
It has too much weird negative attention, though.
Yeah, I mean, like it would –
I think you play the game.
If you're one of the kids on this make-believe football team, how scummy do you feel?
I feel bad for the ones who are like...
Absolutely.
Are there kids on this team that were duped into thinking this is, like, legit?
I think all of them.
But, you know, the coach has been fired.
No, the Juco guys can't, like...
Juco guys, like, you have to know that you're doing something wrong
if you're a dropout of, like, a junior college and just playing high school football again.
Right, but they probably thought that it could lead to some kind of opportunity with a bigger school, college.
You're talking about name, image, and likeness?
I know what that stands for.
Oh, I wasn't.
I was talking, like, playing for an actual college football program.
Can I ask a question about NIL? Since you guys are the Too Much Dip sports guys. Sure. Oh, I wasn't. I was talking like playing for an actual college football program.
Can I ask a question about NIL?
Since you guys are the too-much-dip sports guys.
Sure.
My buddy texted me this yesterday, and it's not something I thought about,
but are college quarterbacks paying their offensive lines at this point?
You know how like Tom Brady, like after winning a Super Bowl,
like he'll get his guys like Rolexes and shit like that?
Like if you're a college quarterback, don't you need to pay, and you're getting absolutely paid because you have a better likeness than some interior lineman,
are they going to start chipping off some, breaking them boys off?
I don't know.
Surprising them with a keg in the closet, pizza on the floor.
Leftover from the night before.
Dude, do you remember that night?
I don't know what y'all are talking about.
I don't remember it.
Do you remember that night?
I don't know what y'all are talking about.
I don't remember it.
It's like, I mean, some of them are getting paid like significant amounts of money, but it's probably not.
I mean, there's not enough money to go around yet.
If I'm on the offensive line and I know that my quarterback is making thousands and thousands of dollars, I might not get dirty for him. Quinn Ewers just signed a $1.4 million contract.
Over three years.
Over three years.
Still, you know.
That's a lot of money.
From what I understand, it's autographs.
Yeah, I guess agreement to sign helmets and whatnot, things of that nature.
Yeah.
Yeah, so is Quinn yours?
If you're on his offensive line, you're like, hey, Quinn.
He's going to be handing out schwaps.
Yeah.
He's taking everybody to the dining hall, and they're eating good.
He pulls up with the schwaps.
You know what's on.
Because, dude, if the whole squad's not eating, Quinn's not eating.
Exactly.
Is Quinn even going to play?
What if he stinks? I had that thought, too.
You know, quarterbacks,
they don't always pan out.
He could be good,
and he's at Ohio State, so he may
never see the field like he's going to,
but that's a real
thing that happens, where there's plenty of good quarterbacks
who don't get playing time.
How many companies are going to go bankrupt because they go all in on some 18 year old they're you know contractually
on the hook for millions of dollars with some kid who's just like riding the bench
it's funny this whole shit's so weird athletic director andre peterson fires back at claims
he's running a scam because as he tells USA Today Sports, I'm not gaining anything financially from doing this.
It should be noted that as of August 30th,
there was an active GoFundMe trying to raise $20,000 for Bishop Sycamore,
which has since been shut down.
It received $140.
The fact that they fired their coach.
He had warrants too.
How do you fire someone of a fake program?
It just doesn't make sense.
I know he
was fired by the offensive coordinator but it's just like you can like oh you got fired from your
fake job well the oc is the guy who started the school right how do you even get paid were they
getting paid for this the coaching staff somebody there's no way to to you would run this fraud
without getting paid and some like what is the point like do you work out a deal with the kids
and say like hey you you can be on our Bishop Sicko Mode team
if you give us 10% of your NIL stuff when you go to college?
It's like a long play.
I mean, that's all on the table.
Just reading through this article.
I've never wanted a 30 for 30 to come out so badly.
Yeah, something's got to – I want to know everything there is to know about this.
Somebody on Twitter said, no chance you. That's good. so badly yeah something's got to i want to know everything there is to know about somebody on
twitter said no chance you that's good there which kind of again it does it does make me feel sad for
some of the kids because like you thought like this is your chance you're getting nationally
televised games which you know 99.5 of the schools in the country don't get and uh you're just
getting clubbed and a lot of these kids are younger than't get. And you're just getting clubbed.
And a lot of these kids are younger than you because you're 20 years old.
I'm going to operate under the assumption that these kids didn't know they were
doing something egregious because I'm a nice guy.
I think most people are not holding them liable.
As you mentioned, the head coach, Roy Johnson, has been fired.
He also –
Rojo?
There's also a warrant issued for him because he failed to appear in a domestic violence case.
Tough scene.
That was eventually dropped to a criminal mischief charge, but the warrant was issued July 2nd and remains active.
Call him Warren Sapp over here.
He also defaulted on a $100,000 loan.
This is getting gross.
Yeah, I feel bad
for the kids, honestly, obviously.
If there's one
sporting event that has not gotten a 30 for
30 that you would want a 30 for 30
made out of, what would it be?
Which sport?
Are there any sporting
major events or things that have
happened in the world of sports that you think
need a 30 for 30? It was Malice at the Palace of sports that you think need a 30 for 30.
It was Malice at the Palace, but that itch has been scratched.
You watched it.
Was it good?
Yes.
You should definitely watch it.
You're going to be pissed off by how the characters from Detroit,
the guy who squared up with a runner test,
and the guy who actually sued the drink.
The worst person.
They are the worst people on the planet.
I would like to watch a 30 for 30 on, like, dirty recruiting.
I think college basketball is where it gets the dirtiest.
Yeah.
I would love to get into the weeds on that kind of stuff.
I find that very interesting.
I would love to see one on the Byrd Junior High 8th grade B team from, like, 1997.
That was the year I was the starting strong safety.
And I tipped that pass that got intercepted and ran back.
And it was just like unbelievable year.
We won like six games.
Wow.
That's sick.
Dude,
you got to think they're going to do that.
Yeah.
It was crazy.
Like,
do you believe in miracles?
Yes.
Parks is playing soccer on the same field where I played peewee football.
Damn.
Does it bring me back?
I go back.
My first real game ever, I housed an interception 60 yards.
People forget that.
Pick six.
People forget.
Not to one-up your story.
Yours was cool.
A tip pass, I'm sure it was really cool.
No, it was fine, dude.
But that was dope.
You were so good at defense that you didn't play it in high school.
Did you?
Did you?
I hurt my knee.
I hurt my...
I blew my knee out.
Rough Island is vacant right now.
I thought it was your back that got blown out.
That came later.
You guys want to hear my...
You know what my 30 for 30 is?
What?
They need...
Dude, do you guys follow sailing closely?
Dude, for sure.
I love Christopher Cross.
The Oracle Team USA, them coming back in the America's Cup,
it's a story that people who watch know about.
They came back from being down 8-1 to win 9-8.
Time out.
Why is it Oracle Team USA?
Because they're spawned, dude.
Why can't it just be team?
I don't like...
Get the bag.
What you got in that bag?
Bag.
Alert.
Major bag.
Alert.
What are you doing before these pause?
Are you doing drugs?
No.
I had two cups of coffee this morning.
I feel like you should at least tell me an offer.
I will turn it down.
I did take an early bird last night.
Really?
Just wanted to put that out there.
Damn.
I didn't know you were a savage.
Dylan, when did you realize that you could throw a football very, very far?
Or hard?
Like, when did you realize you had an arm?
When I was, like, early teens, 13, 14.
Did you guys have the long toss competition in track and field day?
Actually, okay, so my neighbor across the street, he was two years older than me,
and he was, like, a very good pitcher, very good.
His dad was a big leaguer, and this kid was very talented.
And we were throwing the football one day out in front of our house,
and I was just throwing it much farther than he was.
This sounds like a ridiculous story, I know, but that's when he was like,
dude, how do you do that?
I was like, I'm just fucking slinging it, dog.
That's kind of when I was like, I'm fucking slinging it, dog. That's kind of what I was like.
Just fucking sling it, dog.
I can throw the fuck out of a football.
You can.
Yeah, I know.
That's established.
I'm just kind of curious as to how that developed.
Yeah.
Did it translate to baseball?
Could you throw a baseball hard?
Yeah.
Did you ever pitch?
I threw a football better than I threw a baseball, though.
Did you ever pitch?
Yes.
I had a very serious shoulder injury when I was 13.
Is that when you were pee-popping on a handstand and you fell over?
Didn't you say you didn't get along with the coach?
What?
Dude, the coach hated me.
Dude, the coach hated me, man.
Everybody has an acquaintance or somebody they know from their high school
that didn't get on at whatever D1 program because it had to transfer back.
No, no.
I quit our golf team because the coach partially didn't like me.
My coach hated me.
He wasn't stopping me from being on varsity.
He just didn't like me.
We had very little talent come through my high school.
Very little.
I thought you guys were, like, good.
So it wasn't HPO? At baseball, we were good. I thought you guys were, like, good. So it wasn't HBO?
At baseball, we were good.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, at football, we had a running back that went to Baylor.
Shouts to Paul Mosley.
He was good.
Was that back when Baylor was really, really bad?
No one had Paul Mosley getting a shout-out today.
Or is this RG3 Baylor?
No, this is before RG3.
Oh, that was a bad Baylor team.
Yeah, obviously, I graduated in 02, and he was in my class.
Okay.
Yeah, back then.
Damn, 02.
Justin Paul.
We put a guy in the big leagues, baseball.
I just like the thought of like Dylan.
It's like rookie of the year when like Dylan doesn't realize it,
and he just like picks up a football that the guys down the street are throwing,
and they're like, hey, throw it back, throw it back. And Dylan's like a quarter mile away, and he just picks up a football that the guys down the street are throwing.
And they're like, hey, throw it back, throw it back.
And Dylan's like a quarter mile away, and he just slings it.
And they're like, whoa.
And your neighbor's a scout also, and he just walks over.
Hey, son.
It became pretty clear that I could throw it better than everybody else around me.
Yeah.
And that's just facts.
I'm not trying to brag.
It's just true.
I could just throw the fuck out. Did Dennis Quaid throw you a baseball and you just whipped it?
And he was like, holy fuck.
Dennis Quaid.
Nah, man.
Did you and Quaid Dog hang out on the set of The Rookie or no?
We rubbed elbows a little bit.
Who's more famous from their appearance in a movie, you in The Rookie or J-Bone from A Dolphin's Tale?
I need to see a screen grab of him in that movie.
Well, you know what he did in the movie?
No.
There's a scene where there's a swimming scene
and the crowd is supposed to stand up
and either cheer or do something.
They react to something that's going on.
And J-Bone did the most J-Bone thing ever.
And he intentionally stood up early for every take
so that he would be the most noticeable on the thing.
I love that.
It's like he was doing content before content needed to be done yeah it's a good move is he
a member of the screen actors guild he probably is were you you had to be yeah you got to get in
there dog the production crew's like who's this fucking dork that keeps standing up early in our
shot hey this guy that looks like he just walked out of the academy clearance right now, they're like, sir, can you please sit down?
J-Bone!
So you don't have any lines, and you especially don't have any lines
introducing a bone zone?
Yeah.
Sir, can you turn your bone zone bozo shirt inside out, please?
Oh, J-Bone.
Okay.
We had something else come across the timeline this beautiful morning,
or I guess last night.
We had a slap fight with the lads.
Dude, sometimes I don't like the fights that hit my Twitter feed
because some of them it looks like a guy just getting KO'd
and hitting the ground hard.
You're like, oh, God, is he alive?
This one, when this one hit, I was pretty excited.
I didn't know how you guys would react to it
because I know Dylan's a little squeamish about fights sometimes.
We're not going to play the whole fight,
but we're going to play the audio from the beginning of the fight
just so you can hear how British these lads truly are.
These lads are so, what is the word, blimey?
What do you call these guys?
Mento.
Brazy?
They're not brazy.
They're not bussing it.
They're low-key kind of brazy.
Hit play.
Fuck you up, you.
Come on.
Come on.
Fuck you up.
Time.
Yeah, come on.
Pause it.
Time.
Yeah.
Holy shit.
There's a real issue here.
The guy on the left who I've seen speculation that he is uh he's immigrated from poland or something okay
first of all you know it's going to go poorly from the uh for the instigator the guy in the red shirt
because this dude has the most wild ass hair like didn't know what to do when he started balding so
he just cut it into like a modified chuck liddell, the Iceman. It's not great. And the way he holds his fists up and doesn't try to showboat,
you know it's going to end really poorly for the other guy.
Brits love the C word so much.
Yeah, they do.
Why does this look like it's in King's Landing,
like a really shitty part of King's Landing?
Like what is this alleyway?
Yeah.
The only thing that's missing is like a river of poo
It black
Guys wife is
Fuck you up. Yeah, why do they love to see words so much?
Honestly think Americans you start using
It's the worst.
It's the dirtiest word there is, right?
I mean, like, as far as, like,
profanity.
Sure, yeah.
In America.
I don't know if it's the same case in the UK.
You drop that word in America, it's game over.
Oh, okay.
Randy, I'm seeing the cross.
He pointed out. This is apparently an altercation. Oh, there's the slap. Oh, okay. Randy, I'm seeing the cross. He pointed out.
This is apparently an altercation.
Oh, there's the slap.
Oh, no.
See, that's just disrespectful, dude.
That's the Stockton slap.
I'd rather get punched than slapped.
This dude's the third Diaz brother.
Okay, can I...
Based on how these two are fighting,
there seems to be a lot of uncertainty.
Redshirt, you knew when he starts doing this
where he drops his hands in showboating,
it's going to end poorly.
Okay, so I try to avoid... I try to start fights with people, but I'd never try to actually fight.
That's kind of my thing.
If I actually need to scrap with somebody at some point, can I ask you guys a couple
of questions on how I should go about doing this?
My biggest fear of me fighting somebody is getting knocked out on one punch.
Okay.
Okay.
Like, cause if someone's recording it,
I don't want to become a meme
where it's like,
oh, look at this fucking
like,
Narpy-ass podcaster
get clocked in one punch.
So, do I defend with my hands
and just like,
go pure defense?
Or do I need to go out
and like,
defend my face with one hand
and just do like,
a lunge punch?
But I'm worried if I lunge, I'm just going to get...
What's a lunge punch?
I don't know.
I don't have the terminology.
Put your hands up in front of your face.
Do a munching punch.
But like what...
These guys, they think it's cool to drop their hands down low and they're playing no defense.
No!
It's an open shot.
You've got to put your hands in front of your face.
Okay, so I protect the face first and foremost.
But then what's my move after that?
Most guys, most of the people you're going to be in like a regular bar fight with,
they're probably going to try to land like a hard right
because they probably have an orthodox stance,
meaning they lead with their left, jab with their left.
Do you think I'm in a better position as an amateur fighter
with that I'm left-handed so I'm better defended with my left against a right?
You're a match-up nightmare.
You're a match-up problem.
Absolute problem.
My paws are south. Left side. matchup nightmare. Your southpaw. You're a matchup problem. Absolute problem. Yeah, southpaw.
My paws are south.
Oh, yeah.
Left side.
But mainly, you need to just keep your head moving.
You don't want to do what this guy does and just kind of walk right into it.
You got to have a little bit of movement.
Yeah, I just don't know. I feel like I can confidently defend my face and not get one punch knocked out,
but I don't know what I would do after that.
You should probably fight back.
I know.
At some point, I'm going to have to throw a punch.
Touch the chin.
Keep the chin down a little bit.
Hope that your friends break it up.
Nah.
Don't do what this guy did and just kind of put the chin out there in a mocking fashion
because this guy gets – I don't know if you guys – hit play again, Randy.
This guy gets knocked out like two or three different times in this video he uh i gotta give him credit for
getting back up he didn't hear no bell no the fact that he got so knocked out that like the the the
lady filming is like hey guys stop it and then he gets back up and keeps trying to fight and he's
clearly wobbly when he gets up like he's not all there and then he gets watch him he's gonna go in
for the big right right here.
He falls into the ivy.
He just lunges his entire body, and this dude just puts him...
That's so disrespectful to put a man in the ivy like that.
You can't do that.
This dude went to Harvard.
Yeah.
That's the one right there.
Oh, no.
Oh, I hear it coming.
That's the one.
Dude, he's just chopping him up.
Now it just lights out.
It always depresses me when the person falls over,
but their legs are still facing the correct way.
Oh, it makes me think, like think of a quad strain or something.
Yeah.
They're doing one of those stretches where you put your legs underneath you
and then lean back.
You put a man out and do a yoga pose.
You do the rock away.
Lean back.
Lean back.
Yeah.
That's what I'm talking about.
Is that Fat Joe?
I saw a picture of him recently, and I think that he slimmed down a lot.
He did.
Good for him.
He just goes by Joe now.
Does he?
No.
Okay.
He's the grocery store Joe.
Don't even bring up Bachelor in Paradise unless you want to do a whole segment on it.
I kind of do.
I wish Dylan was watching.
I don't have any tips.
It's so good.
There's too much good TV on right now.
Last night Alyssa was like, we're talking about dinner.
She's like, well, what do you have to do?
You can go to the bar there and eat I was like no I want to watch bachelor
in paradise she's like wait are y'all doing that again I'm like no she's like so you're just
watching it I'm like yeah it's sad it's really sad like I was genuinely excited last night for
bachelor in paradise to begin it was a good episode I think 2022 on our patreon might look
a lot different I think we might just end up skipping all the regular bachelor stuff and
only covering paradise we should just do the first all the regular Bachelor stuff and only covering Paradise.
We should just do the first three weeks of every Bachelor or Bachelorette
and then all of Bachelor in Paradise.
Who are your top three power players of Bachelor in Paradise right now?
Ooh.
Ooh.
Kenny.
Kenny is sitting atop the list.
Kenny has, for some reason, become the alpha on this entire show,
and he seems like a nice guy Is Kenny?
I tweeted last night, how is Kenny the most popular dude on this show right now?
So we're really going to talk about the show
For a second
We have until the 45 minute mark
That means we have three and a half more minutes
He's the tattooed guy, he was the boy band manager
He's ripped
He's the toast of the town
He's 40 years old.
Riley came in, stole Catboy's girl, and is now just coasting the rest of the season.
He didn't make a peep these last two episodes.
I got to give it.
Connor is the cat guy, right, from the previous season.
I got to give it up to him for not even trying to confront Riley.
Like, Riley literally came in, took his lady on a date,
and next thing you know,
they were sleeping
in a bed together.
Who knows what happened?
Not for me to speculate.
We all know what happened.
What they choose to do
behind closed doors
with a camera in the room
is their business,
not mine.
But yeah,
he knows that
wouldn't have ended well.
The guitar at the campfire guy
is not going to do pretty well
against Riley,
who's by far, he's top three ripped guys on Paradise
Of all time
He got even more ripped after his season
Oh yeah he did
Absolutely yoked
Oh my gosh
Grocery store Joe and Serena
Put out premeditated vibes to me
Not by them necessarily
But I almost feel like the producers were like, no, you guys
should probably get together.
And everyone's acting like they have this beautiful thing.
I don't really see much chemistry between them still.
I'm rooting for him.
I like everything about grocery store Joe I like.
His demeanor, he's just, he's like fun Chicago guy.
He's got the Chicago accent, which everybody knows I'm a big fan of Chicago.
I've never had a big take on Kendall, his ex.
But they brought her back last night,
and she came in with one of the worst opening lines I've ever heard to somebody.
She looked at grocery store Joe and said,
Hey, butthead.
Did we just do a butthead on ABC?
So that was clearly like a little inside joke between them when they dated,
and now it's just – and she went with that in front of everybody.
If it wasn't an inside joke,
it was the most cringy thing
I've seen on this,
on Bachelor in Paradise
this season alone.
But butthead...
That's what Parks calls me.
Butthead while being
a vintage insult
can be funny
in a certain
correct situation.
But in that one,
it was like,
this is weird.
He's sitting with his new girl
that he's kind of,
you know,
interested in
and you come up all cute
and go,
oh, hey, butthead.
What?
Don't do Joe like that.
No, don't call him a butthead on Natty Tell.
Dylan, you should binge watch the show.
Natty Tell.
You're like, hey, Dylan, binge it.
I don't want to binge.
There's been like six Eppys.
I don't want to binge it.
Dude, we're binge boys now.
Because there's too much good TV on right now.
Dude, it's binge worthy.
I woke up in binge mode.
Are you expecting me to put
Love Island UK aside
for this? I am.
No? No, no. Do them both. You need to binge
Love Island UK. You don't do Warzone anymore.
You got plenty of time. I just started two different
series. Wow. Has Dylan changed since
he got engaged? Different. He's completely different.
Dude, all the cheating in Warzone, it's just like,
we can't compete. You want to fifa no hell no somebody pointed out that they match you up
they put you in lobbies with people of your skill level there's no way that's true and if we're just
really bad because we've gotten so bad i feel like we're just we're playing with a bunch of
professionals all the time we just get slaughtered out there it's really ugly do you think it might
have anything to do with the fact that you're old?
Yeah, absolutely.
You might not be as good at video games?
Absolutely.
I've had that thought about you.
That's a fair thought to have about me.
But, yeah, something's going on, man.
Can't compete anymore.
All those dubs I got.
That's the VIP minute.
God, I got so many dubs, man.
Many solos.
Can I tell you guys something that just happened to me that was unexpected?
What year did I move down here?
I guess it was six years ago.
I don't fucking know, Will.
Maybe seven.
I just got a text from my old boss asking for a password.
What?
It's like, dude, I don't know the password, my guy.
What the hell? How would I know the password, my guy. What the hell?
How would I know the password to this account?
So they've stayed logged in this entire time.
They finally got logged out.
I think they finally got logged out and they're like, oh, fuck, we got to hit Will up.
We got to reach out to Will.
I have that moment like once every week with some account, whether it's like Hulu login or something, where I'm like, oh.
Oh, no.
I don't remember that.
Luckily, I'm on good terms with my old boss.
Like, we're boys.
So I don't feel bad.
He shouldn't feel bad texting me about this.
But, I mean, I want to be like, dude, it's been seven years.
You might just have to create a new email account.
It's over, player.
Yeah, like, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, my guy.
Can you tell us what it was for?
What platform?
An email account.
Oh.
A customer service email account.
As I used to be a customer service specialist.
Very cool.
I specialized in servicing customers.
Okay.
How do you service them?
Custom.
It's custom.
Custom tailored service.
That's sick, dude.
Speaking of things that should be custom tailored, but they don't need to be.
You guys hear about these public wrecks?
You crushed that, man.
Dude, I killed that.
Yeah, I've heard about them.
You all know about your normal pair of lounge pants that you're going around in.
Dylan probably knows better than most.
The length is never quite right.
It's just like you have your favorite pair of sweats,
but they're your favorite pair of sweats to wear around the house.
You don't want your friends to see you in them
because they're just going to make fun of you on your podcast for the next two years.
Again, this doesn't have to be about me.
You can just go to the copy and just read what's going on there.
I mean, you know as well as anybody.
It's kind of frustrating sometimes to run out to grab a coffee, walk your dog,
and you just have this tattered, gross, nasty pair of sweats on.
Okay.
They have your high school baseball logo on the thigh.
They have your number that's kind of fallen off on the other side.
I need some Bishop Sycamore gear.
Again, this feels personal.
I need it now.
Can we just start making Bishop Sycamore gear?
There's another media company that's already beat us to the punch on that.
That makes sense.
Is it The Ringer?
Got to think of one.
Those fuckers always beat us.
I think they should make their own gear.
I like The ringer.
But luckily for you guys out there that are wearing these tattered, terrible sweatpants,
you got to go check out Public Rec.
They make leisure wear in waist and inseam sizes because comfort starts with a better fit.
And take it from me, I'm a guy with some weird measurements.
I'm not afraid to say that I'm a 34-29.
You're built different.
I'm truly built different.
And when you can choose all your stuff on this site, it just makes it so much easier and so much more comfortable. Their
clothing is great for lounging at home, looking sharp for work, heading to the bar or anywhere
that pants should be worn. And yes, these are sweatpants. They have the all day, everyday pant
that comes in waist and inseam sizing. So they fit short Kings, tall Kings, and everyone in between.
They have everything you want in clothing made from breathable, stretchy, moisture wicking fabric.
You can wear them 24-7 and they'll look
brand new. I've got two pairs
of these at home and I have to say, I've worn
them numerous times and you can't tell that I've worn
them all the time. They're not tattered.
Dylan?
I love mine, by the way,
okay? You look good in them. You saw me
at the gym yesterday. I was wearing mine.
I noticed that booty was
popping. Thank you.
You know they offer these in nine different colors,
one for each day of the week and even then some.
Damn.
You spill some mustard on them when you're at a ball game or something?
No problem.
You can just go home and put on another pair.
I hate when I spill mustard on myself at a ball game.
I agree.
It's the worst.
Dude, you're just eating that hot dog,
and suddenly you just got mustard all over you.
Glizzy gang.
Where you at?
These are always the top choice in our rotations.
These fit so well.
They're not sloppy.
These are so crisp and clean cut
that you just mistake them for actual pants.
It's beautiful.
And as the world's opening back up,
make sure you get the clothes
that are as flexible as your life is.

Dude, I got to interrupt the rundown.
I got a message on Slack from Dylan.
I don't think we're going to do this.
We're not going to make Bishop Suckamore gear.
Okay, hold on.
No, we're not going to do Bishop Dickamore.
Like, what are you doing would you
stop why would we make that the camera will show that i was not typing anything to dave just now
you're doing it on your apple watch or whatever all right come on man hey maybe they were funded
by a guy named jeff bishop nobody knows there's a hundred people googling that name that's a
that's a joke for one. That bull is raging.
Dave.
We had a really cringy video across the timeline.
This had nothing to do with lad fights,
but it was probably one of the most viewed videos in a minute on the timeline,
and it was someone stopped at a traffic light in Los Angeles,
and surrounding them was a bunch of characters from a live-action movie,
Cinderella, starring Camila Cabello.
And it raised the question,
is getting caught in a flash mob the most cringey thing that can ever happen to somebody?
I've seen this video on the TL a number of times,
and I refuse to watch it because just the still frame of it is cringing out.
No, you need to watch it.
You owe it to the pod and to the listeners to watch.
I need your real-time reaction.
Is it as bad as I think it is?
Yeah.
Yeah, it is.
But you know who's in it, though?
The wickedly talented.
Adele Nazeem?
Adele Nazeem.
Adele Nazeem.
She's in this.
Okay.
Does that change your mind?
She is wickedly talented.
Well, I am wickedly just offended by this video.
You know, I discovered Camila Cabello.
I'm essentially the Simon Cowell for Camila Cabello,
even though Simon Cowell did technically discover her.
You know, I've seen Wicked before live.
Really?
Uh-huh.
She wasn't in Wicked.
She was on X Factor in 2012.
Nice.
No, but Nadel Nazima was.
Is.
She wasn't in the one I saw.
It was a different production.
So you didn't see her wait who did
you go to wicked with my ex-wife really yeah when we were married where was it where was it you're
not going to broadway shows with your ex-wife now my ex-wife i believe it was at bass concert hall
oh great venue it is a good venue shots of lance uh defying, a fantastic number they did in that. It's a fantastic song.
Did they do Radioactive?
Defying Gravity.
I love John Mayer.
Shut up, dude.
I'm talking about Nadelna Zima.
She is wickedly talented.
Who's Billy Porter?
Tell me that song's not really good.
You can't.
I've never heard the song.
Are you shitting me?
I've never seen Wicked.
Randy, have you heard it? Randy hasn't either. Will've never heard the song. Are you shitting me? I've never seen Wicked. Randy, have you heard it?
Randy hasn't either.
Well, fuck no.
I don't like musicals.
Everyone knows that about me.
I do not like musicals.
I don't go to musicals.
I hate musicals.
I don't like them.
Do you remember when you went to the Elton John movie with us?
We all went together and you were like, I can't believe that was a musical.
You were so mad.
Dylan walked out punching air that there was music in the movie about Elton fucking John.
Okay, what you're saying is so wrong that you know it.
No, it's not that far off.
Yes, it is.
You were mad that it was a musical.
You're right.
I thought it was going to be a movie with music in it, not a fucking thing where actors break into song at any given moment.
No, you're right.
That's a musical.
Dylan's correct here.
I'm 100% correct. What they needed to do in
the Elton John movie was to
just have it be like the Queen movie where you were
reenacting actual cool performances
rather than making it... Thank you, Will.
Someone has a big brain in here. When you start going to
alternate universes in order to do their stuff,
it's just stupid. I don't think the size of your brain
actually has any indicator of how smart you are.
I was just shocked that I went to the Elton John movie
and there was music in it.
You know what I mean?
Okay.
I couldn't believe it. You're moving the goalposts.
No, I'm not.
Obviously, I expected there to be music in it, but to be an actual musical, which is
a genre of film, look it up, was a surprise.
Hold on.
I'm looking up genres.
The Queen one was not a musical.
The Queen one was also a terrible movie.
So was the Elton John one.
Elton John was better than the Queen movie.
I disagree.
Much better acting.
And you didn't have a...
I wasn't distracted by the...
Just whatever the guy's name is.
What's the dude's name?
His underbite?
Yeah, I couldn't get past it.
It was aggressive.
I like...
What's the name of the guy that was in the Rocketman movie?
Kim Jong-un?
Kim Jong-un's your boy.
Different one, Dave.
Karen Edgerton.
Yeah, him.
Nobody would have gotten that.
Dude, he's phenomenal.
He's good.
He's phenomenal.
Kingsman movies are, I'll say it, goated.
Never seen them?
I know I should.
Dude, they're the most pound for pound,
the most entertaining movie series out there right now.
Have you seen The Pest?
I have seen The Pest.
Doesn't hold a candle to The Kingsman.
If The Kingsman surrounded your car and did a flash mob, would you be cool?
How have you not seen Kingsman at this point?
Every time I'm scrolling YouTube TV, Kingsman is on.
Every single time.
You've got to watch Kingsman.
You have to.
I know.
Don't watch it on YouTube TV.
Rent it for $23 on Amazon Prime instead because you don't want commercials.
I kind of like commercials.
It kind of breaks it up.
I can look at my phone, check the TL, see if there's any fights on there.
It's the only action movie I've ever seen end with an anal joke.
Okay, spoiler alert.
It has nothing to do with glasses or anything.
Now I'm going to be watching this movie and just thinking about the anal joke at the end.
The way that they ended the movie, I was just in shock.
I was like, wow, they went there.
Would you rather be caught in a flash mob?
I will not.
No.
The answer is no.
Okay.
Fuck.
If you've ever been in a flash mob, I don't like you.
If one of my friends approached me like, hey, we're organizing this flash mob.
You want to be in it?
I would stop being friends with that person.
Unless it's for a charitable cause.
I still...
Nothing to support that much.
So say last Friday,
say that we were at your party and Beyonce
scheduled a flash mob.
Why'd you say it like Beyonce?
Because it's Beyonce.
Say Beyonce scheduled a flash mob
for your engagement party. Are you ghosting
her for the rest of your life? I'm taking the ring back.
Time out.
Is it Beyonce?
Are you cutting your finger off if you need to?
Is it his actual fiance?
Or is it Beyonce Knowles?
No, it's Bey-once.
Okay, I didn't know we were going with that.
No, I'm not saying that Beyonce...
It would have been weird if Beyonce would have made an appearance at Dylan's party.
I thought so, too, but I was like, that's a pretty big gif.
She's A-list.
Yeah.
Yeah, Beyonce was not there at my engagement party. Did you invite her? No. You know, I thought so too, but I was like, that's a pretty big get. She's A-list. Yeah. Yeah.
Beyonce was not there at my engagement party.
Did you invite her?
No.
Kind of a miss.
Dude, when me and my homies roll through, we do a cash mob.
Really?
What happens?
We just like talk about how much cash we've got on us.
Usually it's not a lot.
It's a cashless society.
Wow.
I hate that. I'm like, ah, dude, I'm sorry. I don't have any cash. Do you have Venmo? Oh, you don't because it's a cashless society. Wow. I hate that.
I'm like,
ah,
I don't have any cash.
Do you have Venmo?
Oh,
you don't?
Oh,
man,
my val gets you next time.
We've all been there.
Thinking good thoughts
for the valet drivers.
Are we going to watch
this Flash Mom?
No.
Good.
Everyone's already seen it
besides you.
We're a little late on it,
but that's what we do.
I'll say this.
No one had James Corden's thrust game being as good as it is i want my life it's not a good thrust dude he had
decisive thrust james corden is not funny i want my life to eventually end having never watched
this video so thank you for now what happened to james corden is what happens to people all the
time now that he's like got his own talk show and stuff like that he has just had people around him
that laugh at every joke that he does at this point, and so his bar for humor
has gone down. Old James
Corden, I don't know, you guys probably,
Dylan, not only has he not
seen this show, but he will never watch this show.
It's a show called Gavin and Stacey,
and it's a UK slash Wales
show, Welsh, and he's
legitimately, he's great in it. It's a
great show. How do you know about
this show? Because our Welsh friend told us to watch it, and it was a very good recommendation from our Welsh friend. Well, he's great in it. It's a great show. How do you know about this show? Because our Welsh friend told us to watch it,
and it was a very good recommendation from our Welsh friend.
Will's got Welsh friends.
Hey, shouts to Jordan.
I don't have, I wish I did.
I don't know anybody from Wales.
Dude, you should have made friends with him at our wedding.
He was right there.
He and I went in the plunge pool together the morning of our wedding.
There was a plunge pool?
Were you in the pineapple?
I was in the pineapple suite. together the morning of our wedding. There was a plunge pool? Were you in the pineapple? I was in the pineapple suite.
Sweet.
Swag.
That's sick.
Yeah.
There was this fucking annoying ass fucking guy that was working at the resort.
He had a mustache.
He wore a Hawaiian shirt under his coat all the time.
And he just wouldn't give me the fucking pineapple suite.
So you know what I did?
I fucking killed him.
Wow.
Mm-hmm.
He's dead.
Sounds like the plot of a show.
Guys, all right.
I think it's time.
I think we need to do our own flash mob.
I know I said I don't like you if you do them.
I've completely flipped on flash mobs.
I think we should do one and make it really epic.
Dude, for sure.
Dude is going to be in town next month.
What are we going to do?
Wheel him out?
We're going to wheel.
He's going to be out there in his boot.
Hopefully, he's probably not going to be walking that soon.? We're going to wheel... He's going to be out there in his boot. Hopefully he's...
He's probably not going to be walking that soon.
Did you see the recent review that Internet Party got?
I like...
Something I enjoy doing is going through...
Crippled pervert.
Yeah.
It said a former Big Ten track star and a crippled pervert.
I just love the idea of calling him a crippled pervert.
Is it time?
No. Is it time? No.
Is it time?
Are we done?
Are we finished?
No, we're not fucking finished.
I wasn't done with this flash mob.
Hey.
They stopped traffic.
You guys hear that?
Oh, I do now, yeah.

They do.
Yeah.
It's a Dylan Spash.
I believe it's called the Trapper Keeper.
Okay.
You guys used to rock with Trapper?
I feel like you were too cool for a Trapper Keeper.
You're like, no, I'm not doing that shit.
They were ultra swag back in the day.
I had some, for sure.
Did you ever have the lame teacher that was like, you have to have a three-ring binder,
and it has to be this size exactly.
I mean, just let me put the stuff where I want to put it.
A three-ring binder.
They have three rings.
That's the thing about them.
Did you ever have to punch holes in your notebook, like your paper?
Oh, yeah.
And like, it's just beating.
Get out of here.
I'm not punching holes.
Hey, we got a lot going on right now.
Hey, backer 20.
What's the Stussy one?
Backer 20.
But right now, it's still sweat boy season down here.
So we're still rocking the men's short sleeve performance polos.
Okay?
We're going to be doing that for the next two months at least.
But luckily for all the people out there, yeah, they have game day polos.
They do.
But college football season can't come here soon enough, and guess what?
It's here.
Guess what?
It's here.
Yeah.
Go out and get some.
They got the Ann Arbor.
They got the Hilltop, the Pony.
You've got to think that's SMU.
What's the Blue Tick?
Who are my Blue Ticks?
Is that the Tennessee Smokey?
Maybe.
They even have a Bevo.
They got the Cameron.
The Dookies.
And for all you guys up there
in New York City, the Boston area,
they even got the QZs when it starts to get crisp
out there for you.
Yeah, it's always athletic tee season, by the way.
You gotta keep that body tight. You gotta work out.
Always. Like we said,
backer 20 gets you 20% off everything

up the cart. Make it happen.
Dylan, what are you doing this weekend?
Thank you for asking, Will.
Friday, I don't have much going.
So I have parks for like the foreseeable, like a week straight,
because his mom is going out of town.
That's your son, right?
So excited to, yeah.
I always get really excited when I have so much time ahead of me with my son.
Very happy about that.
Saturday, nothing Friday.
Saturday, however, I will be going to the ranch with Parks, with Fiance Bay, and with Lil Bay.
We're staying one night out at the ranch, get some family time in.
Brittany has not stayed at the ranch yet.
She's been out there, but not for an overnight yet.
Wow.
I've even stayed overnight. Oh, overnight.
This is a big trip.
The family's excited. Bay's even stayed overnight there. Overnight. This is a big trip. The family's excited.
Bae's excited.
Little Bae.
She went out there, too, before.
She had a fun time.
Does your family address her as Bae?
They call her Brittany.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is that her name?
Uh-huh.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, Brittany.
Tell her she can accept my follow requests on Instagram at any point.
She did.
Shut up. She thinks I'm like a listener or on Instagram at any point. She did. Shut up.
She thinks I'm like a listener or something.
And I will be watching a lot of football.
Wow.
Mr. Sports over here, huh?
Because guess what?
It couldn't come soon enough, and it came.
Gross.
And so Texas has maybe a tough game this weekend.
Louisiana Lafayette.
Upset alert?
What's Texas ranked right now?
I don't know if it would be much of an upset.
They're ranked pretty similarly.
I think 19 preseason
polls. What's that line at now? It was 8.5.
Was it?
You're not going to believe where I'm putting my big boy
stat. Give me Louisiana.
Come from the Lou and I'm proud.
Anyway, that's all I have.
Pretty excited for this weekend.
Completely different Lou.
What about you guys?
I don't know.
You should get guys to sit down and watch the Elton John movie as a family.
You should.
At the ranch.
The musical, the surprise musical.
The opening scene where he's got the wings.
And this was like immediately like, oh, this is a musical.
What the weirdest thing about when we were doing that is that you were wearing Joker makeup the entire time.
Dave, what are you doing this weekend?
Going back to Duncanville, Texas.
I got some interviews about the Bishop Sycamore thing.
I've got some stuff lined up.
Did you apply for their head coaching position?
I'm actually their starting quarterback, really.
That's why I was asking Dylan when he realized he could throw
because I was like, is it ever going to hit me?
How old were you?
Is there a chance at 37?
You thought I was going to say 36.
I was hoping.
I was like, maybe there's still hope for him.
It turns out there's not.
Yeah, we're going up there.
Scheduled to play a little golf, see some family.
We're going to do our first Rhodes pool day.
Very excited about that.
Rhodes is my son.
All Rhodes are leading the pool.
Rhodes Carter.
They do.
And Randy will be joining us, my dog.
Not the human who does the stuff over there.
I was going to say, might need to take some water out of the pool
if Randy's dump truck ass
is going to be jumping in.
That's very true.
Damn.
Damn.
Remember the Kurt Cobain tidbit
that he dropped on us?
That was a fun one.
We lost Kurt and Randy
on the same day.
Literally the same day.
Just a net positive for everybody.
Kurt had to die so Randy could fly.
Mm-hmm.
You think it's funny?
You think suicide's funny, Randy?
God damn it, Randy.
Yes, I mean, you know, fairly low key.
We'll see about it.
Maybe I'll hit my favorite watering hole in the Duncanville area, the one.
Catch me at Mudhook.
Probably with KJ.
We'll see.
I haven't invited him yet, but we'll link up.
I usually try to avoid the water on those holes.
Can't shoot a 79 if you're going in the water.
Actually, I did.
Actually, funny enough, I did.
What hole?
10.
Ah.
Did you pull a pipe?
No, I didn't.
Pulled a 4-iron trying to lay up, and your boy caught it.
What are you doing?
Oh, you don't lay up with a 4-iron there.
That's too much heat dog who's
your cat a seven next drew should have drew sabotaged you nah it was me okay it was me i
was i was doing a little punch punch four keep it low trying to just run it up there i actually
didn't even i didn't even catch that much of it i just hit it terribly damn yeah different was
that your stomach no might have been mine.
I don't have big plans this weekend.
It's a holiday weekend for those out there.
We do have an episode scheduled for Monday because we're dumbasses and we scheduled ads on it.
So that's really tight.
What are we doing?
Yeah, shouts to national holidays that we don't celebrate.
And then, yeah, I don't really have much going on.
I think Saturday, getting together with Sally's family, we're going to do a little pregame tailgate situation.
Might have a pop.
It's going to be Fritz's first tailgate.
Pretty excited for that.
I'm pretty aged for Saturday football.
You were right, Will.
It could not get here sooner.
Yeah, I'm going to post up on my couch for the entirety of Saturday afternoon.
And then your boy's getting some sushi.
Sush?
It's been a minute since I've had some good sushi in my belly.
Grab some sushi.
Where at?
Uchiko.
We got some friends in town.
We thought we'd do a big.
Yeah, it is.
I'm really excited.
It's going to be nice.
I prefer Uchiko to Uchi.
I'll say it.
Dude, catch me getting that A5 Wagyu.
I'm different.
Dude, you should try the salad there.
It will completely change your life.
I will not be ordering any salads at Uchiko.
I'll be ordering fish and as much sake as they will serve me.
Are you going to do the hot rock?
I don't know.
I think that might be overrated.
Yeah, I think it's overrated.
That's such an Austin Hardo move.
Yeah, hot rock's overrated. It's a scene.
It's the bottle service of rocks.
It's just underwhelming because you overcook the really nice meat.
You cook it on a rock.
Well, and like they don't give you enough.
It's basically like you're putting a piece of deli meat on there.
It's not thick enough.
A little capicola.
Oh.
You need to steam it.
What?
I'm going to bring some capicola in and I'm going to steam it. What? You're not going to... I'm laughing at you.
I'm going to bring some Capicola in and I'm going to steam it.
Don't steam Capicola.
I guess they do have that Italian deli meat thing.
That's just more anti-Italian bias.
I'm so tired of it.
I mean, I had a New York Italian from Thundercloud Subs on Monday.
Good, right?
I mean, it was actually pretty legit, but the entire time I was eating it,
I was like, am I going to get E. coli from this?
You have a history of diarrhea?
I do.
Shots of sweet green.
Why you got to put them on Front Street like that?
Because he was open about it.
He was open about it.
I wouldn't tell people if he wasn't.
I mean, I was one of the most down bads I've ever been.
I still can't eat a low taste.
It's really upsetting.
That's a life changer.
I think I sneaky have, like, the toughest stomach around.
I never get sick from anything I eat ever dude stop setting yourself up
where's wood i gotta knock on it it's not this table yeah i don't think we have any wood anywhere
there's no wood anywhere in here no actually hey don't speak so never mind found some you got it
yeah the baseboards are wood i got some in the car on my wheel oh you've been gripping it
The baseboards are wood.
I got some in the car on my wheel.
Oh, you've been gripping it?
Damn, are you gripping grain?
I'm truly gripping grain.
We can go now.
Yeah, we don't have any breaking news today.
Brett is still out.
He'll be back.
Ooh, is he going to be able to match KJ's?
Brett comes back.
Today's Brett's two-year anniversary with WASH Media. Wow.
Congratulations, Brett.
Yeah.
Shall we?
Bye. To you
