Starting point is 00:00:00 All right, we're back circling back podcast presented by busy hard self to the only hard self with vitamin C and superfruit acerola. Yeah, that's a vibe. My name's Will DeFries. It's my right. David, bing bong rough. Men will sit around and podcast instead of going to therapy. That's actually facts. Big facts.
Starting point is 00:00:38 I just wanted the people at home to know, the new thing that distracts me is not Bretttt doing his business not anything that randy's doing no origami it's the male guy who with precision backs up into the spot right outside of our place and he does it very quickly it's really cocky the way that he just slams his car backwards into that parking spot every day at first i didn't like it because i was like hey hey you there's kids out here but now i just respect it and he's got a beard there are some people that could point it that it's a it's a handicap spot as well but i'm not going to be that person to point that out you know i didn't want to say it but yeah all the dogs that listen to this podcast are just whooping it up for day right now
Starting point is 00:01:16 what if we citizens arrest this dude for part how does that work spot you say hey man or woman? I don't know. I started watching Better Call Saul on the flight yesterday. This season or the show? I started season one, episode one on the flight. And I got to say, I don't know what's going on, but I likey. Okay.
Starting point is 00:01:40 I'm going to breeze through. I'm going to crush this entire series. Okay. I'm not going to give you any. I mean, you know, I like the show. No one has to give me any indication. I'm not to breeze through. I'm going to crush this entire series. Okay. I'm not going to give you any. I mean, you know I like the show. No one has to give me any indication. I'm not going to give you anything. Breaking Bad's my fave.
Starting point is 00:01:52 And Better Call Saul, I already know that it's highly acclaimed, and I know that we're in the final season, and so I'm going to let it ride. It's the way they link it. They don't overdo it with the Easter eggs or the storylines that date back to Breaking Bad. But the way they integrate it, it feels seamless. That's all you can ask for.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Dylan's not here, but the juxtaposition. Why does he hate that so much? I don't know. It's something I've never understood, why he hates juxtaposition that much. I don't know. I kind of love it. We got the magic bullet in the building today. that much i don't know i kind of love it we got the magic bullet in the building today over under more or less sunburned than y'all expected out of your boy you less way less
Starting point is 00:02:32 sunburned you like you even wore a white shirt today to really like peacock how burned you are like don't get us wrong you're burned there's yeah there's some red there's only one spot that i i will be concerned about future ramifications. That's my left knee. Oh, yeah. Missed that spot somehow. Were you the driver of the golf cart? I was.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Yep. I was. Classic. Classic move. That's my will to freeze. Doing well with the lefts and rights there. I've been there. It took me a little bit. I hesitated before wondering if you were the passenger or driver.
Starting point is 00:03:03 I drove. Klein was shoddy. And Dave was solo for our golf run. That we will talk about. How did you guys negotiate that? I don't want to talk about it. How did you guys negotiate the riding situation? I don't think it was up to us.
Starting point is 00:03:13 They just know it was. Y'all just got in the car. Oh, damn. Well, I rented clubs. Hey, Dave, bye. I know. Cool. Cool, Dave.
Starting point is 00:03:20 I'm sure you'll play real well by yourself. Had I known that, I would have rolled out and just drank with you all on the course. You would know it wouldn't have been worth it. The last hour, the wind would have just – you'd be like, I'm getting the fuck out of here. Do you like the story I put up where it's just Dave's mouth moving and the wind whipping? Yeah. That's what I was going on over there at Rancho Santa. I put my hand up because I made a mistake last week.
Starting point is 00:03:43 I got Chipotle for lunch before we left town. And I actually realized on the flight to Cabo that I had left my Chipotle sitting in the refrigerator here. And I felt really bad about it. And I opened up the refrigerator today to put something in there. And I saw it still sitting there. And I feel absolutely ashamed about myself. Not to bury Dylan who's not here. Is the pizza still in there?
Starting point is 00:04:05 Dude, now that Dylan's not here, we can at least admit that Dylan only brought the pizza in so he didn't have to recycle the pizza box himself, right? Yeah. It felt like there was something nefarious behind him bringing that up. Recycling pizza boxes is not the most convenient thing depending on how your situation is. I mean, he should just have a giant container you can put it and not worry about it right i'll play the naive one here can you just not recycle pizza boxes like the way
Starting point is 00:04:36 they are in the large uh rectangular orientation no you can we found out that even though we were unsure because at first i was like you can't recycle pizza boxes at all because of the grease. There was a grease involved. Somebody hit us up. Fake news, Dave. I thought you were the one who told me that. No, you were the one. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:51 It might have been me. All right. Well, somebody hit us up and said, that's not true. So the only hard part is like, you know, if it's a large pizza, you probably have to fold the box and do like a modified breakdown. Well, I guess that's my question. Is a pizza box, do you need to break that down further because it's already a flat object i mean you probably should but do you need to no okay yeah it depends on what kind of uh room you got in that bin i don't have a bin i have valet oh well i mean it's most apartment complexes do.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Yeah, my old one did, so I can't really call you hoity-toity or anything. I saw that the trash guys came by this morning, and my neighbor had the trash can just so full that it was iceberging out. Love that. It was shut, and it spilled. A bunch of it spilled, and The guy had to get out. I was like, dude, how many times a day does this poor dude have to do this?
Starting point is 00:05:49 I told y'all, at our place, we have a trash chute. You can throw your trash down there. It's a great, nice little feature. It makes your life really easy being on the top floor. Someone shoved a beach chair down it. Come on. They ruined the trash chute for everybody. Who is throwing a beach chair down a trash chute somebody with just bad vibes can you report
Starting point is 00:06:09 them on that store i don't know who it was i will gladly go no i was gonna report them to my hands oh yeah i said it you don't put your beach chair in my trash chute did you pull it out no dude the the maintenance guys had to do it but it ripped open because it's like metal it ripped open all the bags that people were throwing down they're not realizing that there's a chair in there and so all that stuff ripped and one of the guys looked me dead in the eyes and he looked me dead in the eyes and he said this is the worst day of work i've ever had oh i said i was like dude i am so sorry i told him i was like it wasn't me i promise i don't throw away beach chairs damn dude no if anything you just refurbish it yeah you have to or donate it wasn't me, I promise. I don't throw away beach chairs. Damn, dude. No, if anything, you just refurbish it.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Yeah. You have to. Or donate it. Don't throw it away. Do you guys settle things in the park next to your complex? Hey, we got to take this to the park. Let's go to the park, dog. Yep.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Let's do it. Yep. Yep. We should have gotten in a fight in Mexico. No. No, we shouldn't have. I don't need to to the surface of the pool was too slippery to fight people uh i i fell yes brett did oh you did actually more on that let's let's say let's save that for a couple minutes i think the last almost fight i got into was in cabo at squid row but it was completely justified
Starting point is 00:07:21 it was with it was the news wedding oh is that the guy that sold you the baking powder instead of the no different guy okay um no it was some it was some some tourists and and they were like watching our group of like 30 people who were just like killing it having a great time and they were like watching and i went over to like strike up conversation say what's up and the guy said something really creepy and he was like he said something he's like i was like what are y'all up to because we had this whole upper area reserved and he's like well we're gonna watch y'all's group and he's like then we're gonna talk to your girls and we're gonna we're gonna pick one of them we're gonna pick them off use the word pick off that is and it i was like that is such a creepy way he goes he goes are you gonna do something about it
Starting point is 00:08:00 i was like and there was like five of these dudes and they were pretty big and i was like dude that's really weird and then a couple other guys came over and then i realized like i don't need to get into a fight in mexico because on squid row there's just no there's no good ending is squid row a restaurant or is squid row it's a bar but okay but so it's not like it's not like the vegas strip no when people said when people said squid row i was like oh that's got to be a row of just wild ass bars confusingly named it's just a bunch of dudes who never mind you were squids yeah a bunch of freaking squids bro fucking squids squid row does sound like a cool name of a district not a bar i did go to a cool bar though that is mango deck arriba it was so fun be careful if you go to mango deck that place is dangerous that place uh that they serve just gasoline and cups and the music is bumping
Starting point is 00:08:54 and don's a caduro played on repeat for no less than 20 minutes it should that's what that's exactly what i want when i'm at mango deck oh shout out to the backer connor by the way i saw in the airport and then i saw uh on the beach weirdly enough when we were waiting for our bags at the airport a backer came up to me and he said hey if you make it to mango deck or anything holler wow they were out i'd love to see it yeah i met a guy who i didn't realize was a backer until after the fact, but at the bar right outside the airport. Dude, the airport's just crawling with backers. The airport that's Fisherman's Bar is so cool in the crowd.

But without further ado, it's time to recap this Cabo and Fun presented by Fitbod. I got long-term fitness goals. It might not look like it now because I'm in the beginning of my fitness journey. But yeah, I do have long-term ones because I want to be able to be tight when i'm older i want to be one of those old jack dudes where people are like why is that guy so shredded right now probably because he
Starting point is 00:10:31 downloaded the fit bod app exactly i want to be able to lift my great grandkids over my head you know what i mean it's not dylan yeah dylan's shredded yeah fit bod's got a cool logo too i just want to throw out that looks like they should be in uh like an f1 their rebrand is just absolutely hitting right now i love it your long-term goals start with short-term results and fitbot has plans that plans your best course to becoming a badass grandparent someday no matter your goals your experience level fitbot finds your next best workout no six-week plans no shortcuts no bullshit fitbot's innovative algorithm learns your goals and experience level and then crafts a personalized training regimen right to you small progress builds exponentially into huge lasting results but there's no skipping ahead fitbots one-of-a-kind algorithm uses data to create a dynamic fitness plan just for you based on everything you just go make it happen

So we got to enjoy the nice beach party where the hotel set out.
Starting point is 00:12:48 They dug a hole pretty much. They dug a canal. They dug a moat. That was a legit moat, and I feel like I didn't utilize the moat enough. I think Dylan was telling them that he wanted mota there, and then they just dug a moat. Just a misunderstanding. That left me here Thursday to do karate with Randy.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Honestly, an entertaining video. When I saw it, I was very happy. So the main event for like Brittany and Dylan, I think was that the bonfire. It was kind of a congregation of everyone that came in. And I don't think I've ever been somewhere, whether it's a wedding, whether it's a restaurant, whatever it would be. I don't think I've ever been somewhere where I had's a wedding, whether it's a restaurant, whatever it would be.
Starting point is 00:13:25 I don't think I've ever been somewhere where I had heavier pours of red wine than what they were doing. Heavier and immediate. Dude, like you couldn't, you couldn't have an empty glass. No, that's the only day that I woke up with a headache because I was like,
Starting point is 00:13:37 yeah, I think I drank like a gallon of red wine last night in about an hour. A toughest scene of the night goes to our friend, intern Klein, who was just killing it, going all white linen, night in about an hour uh toughest scene of the night goes to uh our friend intern klein who was just killing it going all white linen linen up top let him down low and um it was very windy in cabo as it often is on that part but this was like egregiously windy and the poor dude who was pouring drinks he tried to pour it and the wind just took it it was going horizontal and it just it just smoked him i mean he it looked like he was wearing tie-dye from fritz's birthday
Starting point is 00:14:11 party yeah yeah yeah it got everywhere it's like the guy felt really bad and it was just not great uh but before that i uh finally tried the spinach salad and i'm not happy about how i'm not happy about how this went you vlogged it which i would say well i wanted to so my my original intention was i was going to vlog every single step of the process i was going to go through everything and like get on the plane like vlog it and act like i was just going to cabo just to do the salad but i was so tired and out of it when we started going, I didn't even think about it until we actually got to Cabo. But I think you could see it on my face.
Starting point is 00:14:54 I did not want to like that salad as much as I like that salad. Look, as someone who's had it twice now, it's a good salad. It's just when someone asks about my experience at this nice sushi place, it's not my lead. I'm not leading with the spinach salad. That is also correct. Maybe if you're going chronological order, but nobody does that. Yeah, both can be correct in this scenario. It's an amazing spinach salad, but it should not be the number one thing you talk about from that restaurant. It's objectively good, Randy.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Some people are saying it's also subjectively good if we're doing nobu restaurant highlights i need to shout out the blue crab tempura phenomenal is this from the actual restaurant or from the hotel this is from the actual restaurant damn it i showed up late to that dinner as i was uh kind of taking a little power nap and unfortunately i missed out on everything. Damn. Besides the spinach salad and a couple bites. Okay. I should have tried it.
Starting point is 00:15:51 So this, forgive me. What makes it good? Is it coated inside? Is it the dressing? The insane amount of truffle on it. Yeah. Okay. Dylan claims that I say that anytime there's truffle on something, he claims that I say
Starting point is 00:16:01 it's over truffled. That's me. But this was not over truffled. It was good. There's also something different about eating a salad with chopsticks that I kind of enjoy. Yeah, it's less stabby. Right?
Starting point is 00:16:16 Yeah. What's they call in your room the stabbing cabin? All right. No, they were calling me Captain Stabbing. That was a long time ago. Yeah, room 2120 is never going to be the same. Are you impressed I know that room. Are you impressed I know that? Are you impressed I know that?
Starting point is 00:16:28 Yeah, don't tell people my room. Dude, I memorized everyone's room number somehow. I have a funny room thing after the pod. Oh, okay. Okay. Do you wet the bed? No. It's very incriminating.
Starting point is 00:16:42 My room number, since this is the... is my pin for everything basically oh that's weird yeah weirdly enough our room number was our old address number so it was really easy for me to usually when i get to a hotel the first thing i do is i take a photo of my room number just so i don't get lost later in the hotel like let's say that i tied one on at a bonfire where red wine was flowing like salmon of the capistrano red wine was just being poured on your white linen pants did did thursday night go deep like did you take it deep was the bonfire was kind of a bonfire and call it uh the the sheer
Starting point is 00:17:18 amount of red wine ensured that it was not going deep okay not going a little bit of a sleepy situation yeah i also think the fact that we all had to get up at like 4 a.m to get on our flights also kind of caused people to fade a little bit earlier than normal yeah uh we got we had a little cabana pool party the next day and dylan was just absolutely on one yeah that was that was a really fun time that was when i realized i got out there pretty early and i was like man i need to i don't need to sit here and start doing this now so i went i went to the uh they have a spa that you could get like an hour pass for or a day pass convince klein to go to the day spa for an hour and do a sauna cold plunge routine so we call they have like a legit cold plunge it's like 52 degrees
Starting point is 00:18:07 and uh we went and did that and klein is shockingly good at cold plunging so i well he should be didn't he probably took ice baths and shit he didn't want to do it and then he i got in there and he did it and then next thing you know like he's in there like just in the zone like in on another planet well so i opened up the spa that day. I walked up right when they opened. It's a great feeling. I went in and they had, they had set their hot tub temperature way too hot, but I was like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:18:34 It's not too hot that I can't get in, but it's still, it's still felt insanely hot. And, uh, the dude at the spa, he was like, Hey, can I get you like a chlorophyll water or anything? I'm like, hell yeah, player. Let's hook it up. I had the borophyll. So he brought it out to me. And when I stood up to go get it, he looked at my body and he goes, Oh my God, you're so sunburned. And I was like, what? And I looked down and I had had, there was a defined line from the hot tub that I was sitting in. And it looked like I had been severely sunburned to the point where he like,
Starting point is 00:19:03 he checked on me numerous times after saying like, Hey, are you okay? Are you all right? Yeah. Turn a couple of degrees off. Yeah. Finally,
Starting point is 00:19:10 finally he came up to me and he's like, yeah, we had it set much too hot. I'm really sorry for that. They definitely overcompensated. Cause I went back for a final cold punch, hot tub sesh. And it was not hot.
Starting point is 00:19:22 That's on me. I ruined everyone's Spock. It was still fine after the cold punch it's fine yeah the official was talking about how he is going to become a cold plunge boy unclear if he's a cryo but more of a cold plunge yeah the only thing that's really standing in the way is a lack of resources b i don't have a cold plunge c i don't have the will to go just do ice in my bathtub every day so So unless my gym hooks it up with a cold plunge, which there are people in the know that have said there are some gyms
Starting point is 00:19:51 in that franchise that have them. There's got to be one at the notch, right? You'd think. But I think it's probably a liability nightmare, if I had to guess. Like old dudes having heart attacks because they're stinking too fast? If you go hot to cold too fast like people in iceland do you gotta be careful with that well that's the that yeah that's kind of the new way that's what everybody's doing did you know um i'll just go ahead and say it a guy uh a guy we met for the first time i've met him before was on this trip we really enjoyed his company dan not danny regs different dan he did nine minutes in
Starting point is 00:20:26 the cold point he did and sarah he did girlfriend yeah i was very jealous of that i did i was so i was told that not to go over to uh i think his uh general you know body and and life is operating at a higher level than mine so maybe two minutes is good for me. He just absolutely beasted that thing. It's inspiring. Yeah. You feel great when you're done. I was doing two minutes stints. I felt good about it.
Starting point is 00:20:50 What time was your first? I also, before dinner on Friday night, I did a cold plunge right before it, and I just held my face under for as long as I could so that I'd have tight skin on the face for dinner. And I think it worked. I looked hot as fuck. Wow. I didn't know that was a thing so my favorite one of my favorite moments of the trip was that there was a little hot tub that we would go check out and uh there were some people in it
Starting point is 00:21:15 that were enjoying themselves and we decided to just derail their chill sesh by putting nine dudes in the hot tub with them legitimately nine men and uh brett decided to come see us and and join us in the hot tub and he showed up covered in dirt yeah so i was on my way over there with the rest of the group and uh quite quite literally the most slippery surface i've ever experienced in my life do we need to contact the hotel for security footage of brett taking a spill by the hot tub love that and you know what the worst part about it is? It wasn't a quick fall. It was like comedic cartoon, foot out, foot regain, foot out, foot back.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Did you trip over a cactus or something? That would have been bad. No, the landscaping was not – I did fall into the landscaping. It was a slow descent. I did lose my mark, which was a bummer bummer dude men will get into a hot tub together before going to therapy again facts by the i did rinse before i got in the hot tub we made you yeah i thought i was in the hot tub for 17 seconds and then caroline goes hey you can you go get something for me dude your arm like i just noticed you at the
Starting point is 00:22:25 corner of my eye and i didn't think it was you because it looked like a sleeve like you had gotten like a a black sleeve tattoo yeah that would have been tight if brett showed up to cabo with a sleeve tattoo man i tried i tried to get the thigh tap but someone talked me out of it sally told me she's never seen dylan's ass tattoo and i meant to have her show her on the trip and now it's gonna be like i feel like showing someone your ass tattoo on vacation is different than doing it you know when you're in your in Austin the Spartans used to do that dude this I think I'm all in on Spartan stuff this these days not talking to me dude some people were calling me number 301 my dude my old boss used to do the 300 workout dude that, that's sick. How do people know what the 300 workout is?
Starting point is 00:23:06 It's the workout they did allegedly to get in shape for the movie. Did they? Oh, okay. They also probably didn't do the hormones and the dietician and the private chef. The personal trainer. Things of that nature. Can I get everyone's favorite meal from this trip? Brett, you said that your favorite piece of food was the my favorite
Starting point is 00:23:25 blue shell crab uh it tied for first with the upset alert the hot dog from rancho san lucas golf course with ketchup and mustard because one it was free two i was starving it was like well free is an interesting way of putting it when it's included in the price of the overly expensive round of golf yeah oh yeah and then and then rental clubs and then a hat on top of that he did get a hat but he was very he was proud of the hat your boy swiped that car he got the hat dirty when he slipped i felt really bad i was like is that is it pesos is that is that the price in pesos no no no no it's u.s dollars so it was a hot dog at the golf course you're saying no it's probably the uh blue crab timber okay i did see you and caroline did get a wagyu glizzy uh poolside and shrimp uh shrimp nachos okay very good i don't want to call anybody out but the gentleman
Starting point is 00:24:16 who played golf with us um might have gone two two glizzies at the course then a wagyu glizzy at the pool thereafter does not mean he was talking about and it wasn't and it's going to shock people to know it was not dylan and i'd never no one is doing that that's three glizzies in one day that's ballpark within like a three hour those are baller glizzies too very very much so um favorite meal overall was edith's like not necessarily food but atmosphere vibes, drinks were great. Best piece of food was a sushi roll, oven baked. Or no, it was oven baked, but just baked crab roll.
Starting point is 00:24:53 The one that served a little warm. I didn't know I would like. I thought that was just fantastic. And I'm not a sushi guy. My palate, while it does have the juxtaposition, it does not have the sushi palate. I'm not really good at deciphering good from bad, but I know good when I taste it. I had never done Edith's before, and now that I've been there, it's going to be a place that I recommend to everyone that goes to Cabo. It's so fun.
Starting point is 00:25:16 What a cool vibe, dude. It's like you feel like you're in the jungle. If anyone's wondering, the restaurant looks like the i mean we took the photo of uh all the circling back hosts and plus ones we we took that photo in edis and every part of the restaurant looks just as vibey as where we were in the photo that place is tight they serve gas too as in their margin their mexican martinis heat their espresso martinis, the carajos. Yes, the carajos. Oh! I don't know. It was such a nice trip.
Starting point is 00:25:50 I enjoyed myself. I want to... The golf round that we played, Dave, myself, and Intern Klein, one of the coolest courses, like every tee shot, I was like, oh, we should take a picture of this. One after another. Now, the wind was a problem.
Starting point is 00:26:07 As it can be. The wind was a problem. But other than that, beautiful course. Everybody played relatively well. No, we didn't. No. I didn't want to go there. Oh, dude, thank you.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Because it's not like you posted one of my many horrible shots on your Instagram. How did you let that fly? How did you? Did you clear that so deject no i knew he was posting it and i was so dejected and like so just like this is my reality that i don't care put it out there i don't make fun of me are you trying to say that there might be a dave ruff swing journey in in the process i don't know if that's going to happen or it's's gonna be a dave ruff uh golf club sell-off journey because i am uh i've i've never been more down on my it's not since i got competitive high school tournament have i been that down on myself on a course i was it picked up because the last hour was really fun but it was just the worst i i missed i think i missed two fairways off the t
Starting point is 00:27:02 brett can attest the driver The driver was a thing of beauty. It was not the issue. I had a cut going, and it was perfect. It was a shortcut. But I'm so in my head with irons and wedges, which is a real big problem, as you normally have to hit those. So I'm in a bad, bad, bad, bad way. And I've got to figure something out this week.
Starting point is 00:27:22 I've got to get to somebody. Dave needs to go to a peyote doctor. Dude, ayahuasca. That could reset everything. I think we go mental first. Start drinking my piss. Dave, can I see your phone? Morgan Hoffman, anybody?
Starting point is 00:27:34 Dan knows a guy probably. You want to see my phone? Yeah. Let me see your yip swing. Oh. Do you really want to see my phone? No. I was hoping you had videos of your swing no i
Starting point is 00:27:47 don't have them i'm sure these this guy does dave's dave's approach shots from one thing i think i had four four putts now i'm gonna blame the putter those greens were not difficult i admit no they were they were should not you should not have four putters will i could i was i was putting the ball closer to the hole from like 27 feet than four feet. Lag putt game is stupid. Is that the worst part of renting clubs is the putting as the putter? I think so. You're at the mercy of what they give you.
Starting point is 00:28:14 I've only rented clubs once, and it was at Dylan's bachelor party, and I had no touch. I mean, my lines were fine, but I couldn't. I was either blasting it past the hole or putting it way too short. What if you rented clubs and it was a belly putter? I'd be fine with that. Dude, I would love to. I feel like I would love to try one round with a belly putter.
Starting point is 00:28:35 Yeah, I would anchor that shit all day. Adam Scott looks hot doing it, but he might have other factors working for him outside of the extended putter. He's very handsome, but as Dylan points out correctly, his head's a little tiny. Is Dylan's head three times the size of Adam Scott's? Dylan has such a bigger... It's at least double the head size. We can measure that.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Like, if I put one of my ball caps on Rhodes, that's what it would look like if Adam Scott put on one of Dylan's caps. That's what it looks like when I put one of Dylan's hats on. Looks like a little baby. Yeah. What did you guys do Saturday morning while we were chopping it up on the course? I put on one of Dylan's hats. That's what it looks like when I put one of Dylan's hats on. I look like a little baby. Yeah. I'm a baby. What did you guys do Saturday morning while we were chopping it up on the course? I went to breakfast.
Starting point is 00:29:12 And my wife got sunburned at breakfast. Oh, wait. We did come back from golf. Everybody was red. Yeah, I just latched myself onto Drew. And he and I just decided to drink our duty-free tequila in the hotel room while watching some footy. Whoever told me that, I don't remember who it was. It was Dylan.
Starting point is 00:29:27 We got a $30 bottle of tequila in the duty-free on the way out. That saved us hundreds of dollars. Not that we didn't spend that. Oh, boy. Bring your credit card to Cabo. Cabo is so fucking expensive. It could be the resort that we went to. I just love it. but Cabo is so fucking expensive. It is. I love the resort.
Starting point is 00:29:47 I just love it. I just, I just love the town. That's the one thing I feel like I missed on was we did go to Edith's, which is in town town, I guess, but like one to do like a random lunch at like a place that isn't super touristy. I'm not trying to go full Bourdain,
Starting point is 00:30:02 but you know what I'm saying? Just like to get like an authentic feel. It's not like hotel resort food anthony bourdave over here may he rest in peace shouts to the goat we were talking uh we're talking a big game about the kentucky derby we had a little we threw a kentucky derby party at the sports bar at the resort really cool by the way loved our little friday night powwow after everybody got back from dinner there yeah we uh during the derby we all decided to play some big boy bats and then i will be collecting venmos because i've already venmoed you dog you did you did i've been moody the second that uh mo donagal got fifth i hit you with that venmo there's they call them no mo donagal i think brett knew brett didn't even place my bet because he knew
Starting point is 00:30:44 that mo donagal was the one horse i didtt didn't even place my bet because he knew that mo donagal was the one horse i did because that's that's one thing i have done before is taking people's action and not placed it and they've won and i've been like so no i placed everybody's action i thought about that after i was like yeah brett knowing that he's the one horse like he could have easily just been like nah i'm just taking those 50 bucks if you if you threw it if you threw like a date a stack on it i might have thought about it because i really didn't like that horse i really didn't like him on the rail but no i it she's in there yeah do your derby research before the uh before they figure out the starting position hey also anybody hit anybody get the no no that horse that's the the i think it's the longest shot 81 to
Starting point is 00:31:22 one right 80 to one 80 to one and he was in you do the math in the form he was in the also eligibles so like i didn't even think he was gonna run like literally didn't think he was gonna run so is this horse like a verified amateur or what professional like damn this our derby talk out horny real quick. No, he is a legit. He's also the son of Teen Ice, my favorite horse of all time, who beat Pharaoh at Saratoga. Dude, I've been saying that.
Starting point is 00:31:53 To ruin his streak. Dude, Dave and I were just talking about that before the pod. I will say, though, if you go back and look at the form, he does have the best late speed number on the entire form. I've noticed that, too. Dylan went all in on the horse that just was slopping it up dylan loved that horse so much dylan was tanked at the pool on saturday scream just screaming that how much he loves the slop it's like dude dylan everyone at the pool can hear that your horse loves the slop and was born in the slop
Starting point is 00:32:20 i could never own a racehorse for a number of reasons but main main one being like i would feel bad at like when my horse didn't win i'd be like man it's all right dude yeah dude like no you're you're still a good horse like i could alissa and i were ordering drinks at the bar at the pool and i could hear dylan screaming from the top of his lungs from like had nobody in particular yeah from 50 feet away oh he was born in the slop yeah that was the frequent one born in slop he was it wasn't a sloppy track i don't know where did dylan yeah that's what i told i was like man it's actually a really nice day at churchill today i think that's probably an issue for your horse if he's born in the slop any closing thoughts on the trip glad it happened i had a blast uh i think i think
Starting point is 00:33:02 everybody had fun i'm very happy for dylan and britney i think they had fun i'm a tick tock star had a smile on his face the whole freaking time he did he did i'm glad to see he did that hey shot you will be a tick tock go follow circling back pod on tick tock we're just going viral like left and right i think dave had fun i know jay bone wants like a million likes and views and stuff like that but i kind of love the 25k view to uh 50k view range it feels more authentic yeah it kind of feels like yeah anything above that it's like oh are they juicing these numbers yeah it's like what's yeah what's going on there like yeah but when you get consistently in the 20 to 50k that's when it's like okay no their engagement is just sick my highlight was watching f1 in the stk restaurant before the our flight stk in the cabo airport
Starting point is 00:33:46 everybody was fixated on that race cabo airport doesn't need an stk and and also i've never watched f1 without the audio before and it sucks it sucks it's not fun it's not the same because mainly because i don't know what's going on. Facts. I do have one last question here. How did leg wrestling happen? I'm a big fan of leg wrestling. Mainly because I'm usually pretty good at it because I have pretty strong legs. You do have a stout or lower body. Everybody knows that.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Yeah. And so at the pool, we were kind of buzzed and bored. And I was like, you know what? Let's do some leg wrestling. And I thought I could take Dylan. And Dylan, he was cheating in the beginning. But we finally got it under control. But Drew and Dylan was the main event.
Starting point is 00:34:30 And before that, much like I did before Dylan's big putt, I thought Dylan was going to make the putt, which is why I wanted to go live in Las Vegas. In this scenario, I thought that Dylan was going to lose to Drew, which is why I wanted to go live for it. And so I decided to go live for it. And sure enough, yeah, Dylan got absolutely smoked. Yeah absolutely smoked yeah really yeah that doesn't surprise me at all that's too bad yeah drew wasn't going to lose to uh drew was my mvp of the trip drew also said uh when we did the
Starting point is 00:34:56 breath holding contest that he would pass out before he lost the breath holding time i was willing to and uh i feel and I feel like an outside factor caused me to bring my head up. I'm just going to say that right now. It was just the will to live. Somebody was yelling at Will that it was over. Yeah, I was told when I was underwater that it was over and that Drew had lifted his head out of the water
Starting point is 00:35:16 and then I lifted my head out. No, but I feel like that's cheating. I feel like you shouldn't actually tell someone that's in the contest that it's over. Call me crazy. I was the referee. I clearly did not say it was over no it wasn't it was not me you're right you're right if i could do it all again i would say that you know no brett needs to call out everything officially yeah instead i had drew's wife cheating got the name so who won drew did
Starting point is 00:35:40 two for two and yeah because i was i was told that he lifted his head up. So I held my head down for an extra 10 seconds to make sure, and then I brought my head up, and he was still down. Let's be clear. What Will was doing is not cheating, which is the slap splash. Trying to get in people's heads. That is gamesmanship. Oh, okay. You know what?
Starting point is 00:35:58 That kind of evens it out a little bit. That's an interesting move because the more you move, the more oxygen your body uses. So I did one so i did one i did one i brought my hand out of the water to try to flick it up and make it sound like someone's head was going up uh but then after that that took so much energy that i was like i have to conserve the rest of the time i'm pretty good at holding my breath i'm not it was all impressed in that competition.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Well, my parents lived in a condo that had a pool at one point. And all summer, I would just do breath-holding contests with my boys. So I got pretty good. Damn, that was a great summer. Yeah, dude. We were just getting chicks left and right. I will say I'm surprised nobody, the volleyball court went untouched. Well, the issue with the volleyball court is that the net was about four feet high.
Starting point is 00:36:45 Also, low-key funny moment, when we checked into the hotel and did the whole White Lotus orientation, they said, don't go in the ocean or you'll die. And I was like, oh. Okay. Yeah. And I was like, why? They're like, animals, rip currents, waves, you're toast.
Starting point is 00:37:01 Ooh, animals. There's sharks there, Dave. It's shark season. Mako. Also giant giant squid i asked the waiter at nobu about the giant squid fucking squids which have been rumored in the sea of cortez perhaps really he didn't know much about it okay he just he didn't have any intel on the giant i asked him if i could get the i think what's is there off menu giant squid i'll pay market price for you like what the fuck's your problem yeah he didn't he didn't enjoy I asked him if I could get the... Is there off-menu giant squid? I'll pay market price for it. He's like, what the fuck's your problem? Yeah, he didn't enjoy it. See, I asked one of the waiters at the pool for a giant squid,
Starting point is 00:37:31 and he pointed over to Brett. That's not true, dude. The service was terrible. Did I break any fits? No, I don't want to say anything. Dude, you got it. Can we just post your fits to our Instagram where people can vote brick or not brick?
Starting point is 00:37:44 Sure. I thought they were good. Let's do it. Can I tell you, I don't want to give it away., you got it. Can we just post your fits to our Instagram and people can vote brick or not brick? Sure. I thought they were good. Let's do it. Can I tell you, I don't want to give it away. No, I'll just give it away. There was one that I posted that people, there were a couple people who responded, but I didn't think you bricked it.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Which one? It was the golf course. Oh, I was wearing my Cabo shirt. I had no issues with it, but two gentlemen in the direct the direct messages did so that said i bricked it said oh brick brett brick this one huh how do you break a white polo and and blue shorts i don't know somebody somebody didn't like my fit the last night the you got wrong you got wrong there dave you got wrong there ever listen it goes it's an everlane
Starting point is 00:38:23 polo and let's go this is this is like this polo looks like better on you thanave you got run there ever listen it goes it's an everlane polo and let's go this is this is like this polo looks like better on you than anything you look jacked in it yeah you look great you show up to the restaurant i'll let you they look swole right now yeah i did fitball right before the dinner can i ask a question to you guys please is the piece of plastic in your wallet doing enough for you it's doing a lot right now people have been wondering because with the secured chime credit builder visa credit card you can start building credit with everyday purchases and on time payments. I love being on time because of credit builder members can increase their credit history with no annual fees or interest. And having a good credit score can mean getting better car
Starting point is 00:38:58 loan rates or renting apartments easier, or just bragging rights around the dinner table. If you know me, you know, I like asking people their credit score around the dinner table. I have a contest with all my in-laws of who has the highest credit score. And I've had a couple of hard inquiries lately, which isn't great for me. That's tough. Maybe I just need to, I just need to start rolling with chime even more.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Cause I don't really even understand how that all works. It's very confusing. Well, so all you need to do is continue your credit journey with chime. Sign up takes only two minutes and it does not affect your credit score which is big get started at chime.com slash steam again that's chime.com slash steam the chime credit builder visa credit card is issued by stride bank and a pursuant to a license from visa usa chime banking or chime checking account and 200 qualifying direct deposit required to apply
Starting point is 00:39:45 for a secured chime credit builder visa credit card regular on-time payment history can have a positive impact on your credit score impact score may vary and some users score may not improve but without further ado let's talk spartans dave oh we do not have brett merriman in the building anymore he's got business to take kind of left in the middle of your ad read. Yeah, instead of just walking like behind us, he just sprinted out in front of the cameras, which seemed a little aggressive. I don't have to use the gents room.
Starting point is 00:40:13 The Will show. I saw this tweet. I saw this tweet this morning when I woke up and it made me smile. And then the real one, Cat Pat, forwarded it and really solidified that we need to talk about this today. Hat tip, Cat Pat. Yep.
Starting point is 00:40:24 This is from a guy named Will Blunderfield nice name i don't hate it i don't hate it and it shows him uh with his wife or girlfriend or you know partner i don't know what they are i don't know what they classify themselves as gal pal and uh he pig stitched it with a photo of him hanging out with the boys and there's eight of them i mean and they're all naked yeah it's blurred so um but yeah this is uh eight men uh arm shoulders arms on shoulders just dong out it's kind of like a photo you'd take it like the pool on a cabo trip but instead of wearing swimsuits you're not i have no problem with this it looks like they pool on a Cabo trip, but instead of wearing swimsuits, you're not. I have no problem with this. It looks like they're having a good time.
Starting point is 00:41:06 This just looks like the boys hanging out. Well, so he explained why he's doing this. He said one of the unfortunate conditions in life is that men are in most instances de-energized by sex, while women are frequently energized by it. Men have to be more careful around their frequency of ejaculation, whereas women do not. I didn't know women ejaculated. One other potent way for men to maintain their masculine polarity and power is to erotically bond naked with other males without ejaculating, as the Spartans did.
Starting point is 00:41:33 In parentheses. Did not know the Spartans did that. No, that was kind of their secret to success. That's why they were able to hold off the Persian military for so long. He says, this will keep your prowess high and take your male polarity strong. As he said, iron sharpens iron, which will make you more attractive to
Starting point is 00:41:50 and attracted to very highly feminine women. Hashtag polarity. Ooh. So I thought Spartans were like badasses that were just all killing people and stuff. And instead, they were just hanging out with their dongs out together.
Starting point is 00:42:04 Yeah. It's just locker room talk. hanging out like after the big war after the big battle you know spartans like man we gotta blow off some some steam let's just let's just hang out and not ejaculate together nude don't clip that how do we know how do we know that that's what they were doing like are there reports of this we know what did anybody like follow up like hey man like where'd you get this information from no look it wouldn't shock me this is there's some weird shit back then not that this is that weird but
Starting point is 00:42:35 it's odd it's not i mean there's a lot of stuff ancient greece ancient rome uh you know can i ask a gross question things went on can i i'm gonna ask a question that's talking about a topic that i don't really want to go too deep into no pun intended but when he says that in most instances yeah men are de-energized by sex is that like the is that what people would call um i don't want to say it post not clarity pnc no i think maybe he's talking about you know like the old rumor in like rocky this is a thing like you know women weaken the legs oh like how fighter like how fighters will abstain for like a long time which i don't think the science backs that up i think that there might be like a testosterone release um i don't know i'm talking shit i don't know but what if you have
Starting point is 00:43:24 like but what if you've gone through like a couple of herpes outbreaks in the last two weeks and you had an NFT coming out, that's going to change the fight game forever. And that guy's defense, he did not specify they could have been a top deck herpes, which are much more common in lieu of the, the lower deck, the download,
Starting point is 00:43:40 the downstairs her. Is the fighter who said that, is that a famous fighter? I don't know. I don't know. I don't think so. I only saw that clip last night and I was shocked. That was a UFC fighter, correct?
Starting point is 00:43:51 Yeah, I think so. I'm probably going to look like a moron here, but no, I was unfamiliar with him. Even if I have the right kind of herpes outbreak, not that there's a wrong one. Let me rephrase that. Let me rephrase that. It's like going into firehouse subs. Even if I have the more ideal of the herpes outbreaks, not the better. Let's say I have a more ideal herpes outbreak.
Starting point is 00:44:10 I'm still not shouting it into a microphone on television just because I know that people will not realize that I had the more ideal one as opposed to the less ideal one. Are herpes, is herpes, the herpes virus, the firehouse subs of venereal disease it might be are you saying that the cosmo bartender might is that what he was talking about does he actually just have herpes instead just a really bad euphemism how did we make friends with any bartenders on the trip um probably man i don't know. Did we really even, they didn't like us very much. No.
Starting point is 00:44:48 What is polarity? We were a very low maintenance group. Is polarity just like, so we're, we're abstaining while the women, like where are the women getting energized? If we're the ones not given the energy for sex, you know what I mean? You're talking about the property of having poles or being polar. I just don't really understand. There's definitely polarities there.
Starting point is 00:45:06 These guys definitely have poles. Should we start recording naked or at least bottles off? When Dylan gets back, we need, we need to be all in on this. Why don't we do a bottoms off? We can just, uh,
Starting point is 00:45:18 poo bear. Yeah, we can just poo bear. No one's going to know. There's a crew of dudes. I think at the lifetime gym, I think they're younger. I think they think it's funny to walk around poo bearing it is funny tell me one scenario where
Starting point is 00:45:29 it's not funny i don't want to laugh but i'm like okay i know what you're doing you're you're wearing like a button down with nothing else dude it's never enough and funny like you have slides on the poo bearing calling it poo bearing is much better than what we called it growing up which we just called shirt dicking yeah poo bearing sounds a lot more innocent yeah people don't turn their heads as fast when you say poo bearing as opposed to shirt what's more jarring in a poo bear is it the front or the back oh it's the front so hang on for sure i think the back's kind of funny like it's kind of funny i had two two herpes outbreaks two in this in this training camp people don't know what we're talking about go look it up we'll talk about it on this training camp. People don't know what we're talking about. Go look it up.
Starting point is 00:46:07 We'll talk about it on Too Much Dead. I just need to know what about his NFT is changing the fight game forever. Didn't he say two NFTs? Maybe. Multiple NFTs. I don't know, man. I thought everybody was kind of out on NFTs, except for Brett. What if the new PG—you know how netflix is doing that pga tour show
Starting point is 00:46:25 yeah what if we found out like all the golf boys were actually just hanging out naked together all the time like the actual golf boys like bubba yeah like those ricky yeah like when they were in cop when they were in baker's bay whenever they were doing that whole run like they were just actually naked behind the scenes the entire time swinging i don't know how this came up on the trip but i did boldly declare that i've never swung a golf club nude i also don't know how this came up on the trip, but I did boldly declare that I've never swung a golf club nude. I also don't know how that would come up on the trip. And the more I think about it, I've probably practiced my swing nude in the shower,
Starting point is 00:46:54 but I don't think I've ever actually swung a golf club. Oh, yeah, you know how dudes be. Dudes will practice their golf swing in the shower before going to therapy. That's absolutely correct. Dudes rock. Randy's going to get so annoyed when after this episode, I ask him to go through
Starting point is 00:47:08 and just pick out all the reasons that men don't go to therapy and do a super cut. Yeah, men will just listen to the Circling Back podcast instead of going to therapy. Men will watch the season finale of Curb six months later on the plane ride home oh you did
Starting point is 00:47:26 i did oh can i give a recommendation i've already given it to every single person on the group trip i looked for it on the american airlines wi-fi app thing and it was not on there make or break on apple tv plus which follows around a bunch of pro surfers is one of my favorite shows that i've watched in such a long time i don't know if it's like actually a good show or it's just very pleasing to the eye to watch it's like 100 foot waves yeah but it's just like dude it's better than i like it more than that because it's it's just scorching hot people surfing and being tight in really beautiful locations with all the drone photography you would ever need it's like going it's like a restaurant that's all atmosphere i'm fine with that and now like i now it has i'm having the effect that uh a lot of people felt when drive to survive came out now
Starting point is 00:48:12 i'm going to start recording like surfing events on television because i'm invested in these people's personalities that will make there's a certain faction in the uh discord the too much dip discord that's into the surfing stuff i'm in you should get in there and mix it up that can be your next uh account twitter account i haven't seen what uh shredding pipe bro yeah i was trying to think of what it would be like bombs out the back boys yeah that's good that's good i'm gonna i don't see i i hesitate to say anything because i have not i have one episode left and it's the finals so i don't know who actually won the competition for this season of what they did.
Starting point is 00:48:47 So I'm very excited to go do it. It was Bodhi. Don't say Bodhi, dude. He's dead. He wanted the ultimate. Did he actually die or did he come back in the new one? No.
Starting point is 00:48:56 Okay. You mean the remake? Yeah. The BMX remake? It was like motocross. Oh, it wasn't actually about surfing? I don't think so. I didn't see that.
Starting point is 00:49:04 I had a principle. I saw like saw like one rotten tomatoes thing about the remake and it was enough to be like yeah i'm just not seeing that yeah it was not well received what are we talking about these dudes these spartans you know it would be well received if you got a solo stuff in the mail okay sign me up there's nothing quite like the feeling of gathering around a warm fire on a cool evening i mean growing up in northern michigan dave we'd have bonfires all the time but the issue with the bonfires was that they were inconsistent they made you smell terrible they were just smoke everywhere and then you'd run around to the other side of the fire and you'd be like why is the smoke following me what's going on yeah why aren't there smokeless fire pits out here and i need like an even distribution of the smoke and the heat well guess what they

One of my pledge brothers during Pledge Ship passed out. We all read a thing in a fire and he passed out with his boots close to the fire. He woke up in the morning and his boots melted. The bottom, the sole of his boot melted.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Oh, I believe it, dude. That's scary. Yeah. That's frightening. He was okay. It didn't burn his actual feet somehow, but it, dude. That's scary. Yeah. That's frightening. He was okay. It didn't burn his actual feet somehow, but it was hilarious. Was it because he took too much toad venom? It was.
Starting point is 00:51:34 Hey, real quick, before we do the toad venom story that you need to introduce in the way that I asked you to. When did... Okay, so we have an old sponsor. They're not on the pot anymore a suit a luggage company away yeah yeah love their stuff yeah it has the little battery charger yeah that pops up if you need it to they made me take it out before i put it up in the overhead bin and i i have never heard that before i don't know why they do that i wonder if it's because
Starting point is 00:52:01 they if they're loose they'll they'll fly out the flight. See, I left mine in a hotel room, so I no longer have my portable charger. Yeah, it was a terrible move by me. I still use that suitcase because I actually love it. They're great and they're very popular, as I learned over the weekend. Yes. I've learned that the green color has gotten much more popular, which has made it much more difficult to find mine at baggage claim. Yeah. I need to put like
Starting point is 00:52:25 a circling back sticker on mine oh yeah we should just cover it in stickers yeah hey that's it dave can i ask you a question hey what's up man this russian oligarch ate what i tried i wish dylan was here dude no one loves my aziz more than dylan dylan when my fajitas showed up at the table on saturday night's dinner i just went oh my god it's a weirdly good aziz and dylan was he was laughing for an hour dude the bus ride home from uh from dinner was just was just like half the half the bus just doing like aziz and normal everyday situations like aziz getting his dry cleaning or something it didn't make any sense we were very drunk yes um yeah this is okay this is a story that was brought to my attention by some twitter users um and apparently these
Starting point is 00:53:20 russian oligarchs i don't know if you've been following this story um at least five oligarchs have died in mysterious circumstances in the 10 weeks since the invasion of ukraine okay interesting okay um now we've got billionaire alexander subotan subotan a former executive for russian energy giant luke oil has been found dead in the moscow suburb of mystici he was reportedly undergoing an alternative medicine treatment for a hangover when he died. Okay. According to the Telegram channel MASH, he had visited a shaman who specialized in performing a treatment
Starting point is 00:54:00 involving a poisonous toad. How bad is your hangover if you're going to shaman? That's the question. This sounds like a moral hangover. How into it did you get last night that you have to go to a shaman? This is like a two-week bender, and you're reassessing your entire life. I know I complain about my hangovers too much, and I know that I've pretty much made an entire podcast living off of complaining about my hangovers,
Starting point is 00:54:24 but I've never gotten to the point where I'm like, oh, God, I got to go to this shaman to get some toad venom. They made an incision on the skin, dripped toad poison in there. And after vomiting, the patient allegedly got better, the outlet reported. They also called spirits, sacrificed animals, and bathed in cock's blood. Like, I'm going to assume that means chicken right i feel like they could have just put chicken but this is the daily star so i don't know if that's what they call it across the pond um yeah man i i would just love to know like what was the moment was he like oh dude my i just got this anxiety i gotta go i gotta go get that toad venom drip well in this it says that putin himself indulges in uh deer antler remedies for his hangovers like vj singh yeah if deer antler spray hang like cures your hangover i'm definitely
Starting point is 00:55:14 willing to do that i'm already willing to do deer antler i would do deer antler i don't i heard it didn't actually do anything yeah i had a i had a someone that's close to me who started using it wasn't it a guy on the tigers no it was a someone someone i'm related to my marriage and they started they started using it and i was like dude i don't know if that works did did they have gains they claimed gains they did claim gains i mean i'm interested by the deer antler spray especially for hangovers i'm not opposed to it yeah so people are wondering now like all right was this like a poisoning was this a hit or was this dude just down so bad that he literally went to a shaman and got that venom drip said his heart ached the owner decided not to call an ambulance
Starting point is 00:55:56 and they gave him like and they put him to sleep in the basement and there he died well that's you'd never do that the person who didn't call the ambulance when his heart was aching i think i think they've got that's what we call manslaughter yeah like that's kind of on you player well i don't know if this guy was a good guy or a bad guy but man so he died hung over you can actually he actually showed that like, I think, if you just Google, can you die of, if you Google, can you die of, what do you think the first things are that show up? I thought hangover would be on the top 10 list. It's not. I bet it's like marijuana overdose. It says boredom, a broken heart, laughter, old age.
Starting point is 00:56:44 Who's Googling if you can die from old age what a stress dementia shock fear depression i thought hangovers would come up quick maybe google has like the the kid filter i mean like if you get so dehydrated and then i feel like your body just naturally kicks back i think the best remedy for a hangover and something that we did a couple times in mexico is just get with the boys and go dongs out and just hang out and not ejaculate. I hate what I'm about to say, but chilling with the boys does cure a hangover pretty quickly. Dude. Yeah. Sally was so excited to get me away from Drew. I'm pretty sure she booked us on a different flight home so that Drew and I didn't sit on the flight pounding cocktails the entire time.
Starting point is 00:57:22 That one beer I had yesterday was fantastic. I had one single glass of wine at the at the sdk in the airport go wine midday wine red wine at that i felt like we were at a steakhouse if there's a time to get midday red wine it's a steakhouse i didn't want to burp from beer on my entire flight and i was like what's the least maintenance drink i can get right now i don't like patting myself on the back i don't do that but zero p's on all flights really no tinky breaks amazing the young lady i was traveling with might have had one might have and she sat down she's like i can't believe that i'm the one who had to use the bathroom and not you i was like well that is insulting but true i'm pretty cocky on these flights uh when when i'm on the window seat
Starting point is 00:58:11 you know how like if you're on the window seat and you have a stranger in the aisle they'll be like hey just let me know if you need to get out like they'll kind of give you a courtesy thing i'm always like no i'm gonna be fun don't worry about me i'll be here this entire time uh dude next to me on the flight there who was in the window, first flight, just absolutely blue chunks. Oh, that's good. He was throwing up in the barf bag, and I felt so bad for him. He was just dripping sweat. And at first I was like, oh, no, this dude's sick, like have like a virus.
Starting point is 00:58:38 Maybe he had too much toad venom. He had a bottle of Dramamine. So I was like, oh, this guy just has trouble flying. Dude, did you see the absolute house that we sat next to on the flight yeah dude that guy was huge dude was huge like i saw him i saw him in the airport earlier and i thought to myself that guy needs to play rugby like he's just he was one of the most built tall like just like just tall strong dudes i've seen in a long time he was down. He was going to a wedding and he was trying to plug his phone in on the flight and our row did not have working plugs.
Starting point is 00:59:11 And so he had to plug his phone in to the row behind us and have the cord go through up. Yeah. I felt bad for him, but when Sally pitched that we go to the row behind us in order to solve the problem, his life was completely turned around. And then he played a game on his phone the entire flight. The young lady next to me on the flight home cross-stitched the entire time. It was very impressive. I respect people who don't do what I do on flights, which is either sleep, watch movies the entire time, or drink. I did Curb and then a BBC wildlife documentary about Patagonia.
Starting point is 00:59:46 It was absolutely sick. There's a condor in Patagonia. And to see if it's a good time to fly, they pluck a feather. They let it go. And the heat rises and they can get more lift. Oh, that's tight. So if it rises, then they fly. How sick is that?
Starting point is 01:00:07 Damn. I was looking around to see like are y'all watching this let's just leave this girl's cross stitching usually when i'm trying to fly i just like whip it out with the boys yeah cocks it's a vibe you know what else is a vibe? Vizzy. The one thing missing from our resort this weekend was Vizzy. I would have loved to be poolside at the resort just cracking a Vizzy because it would be an absolute vibe. Because everyone knows that Vizzy Hard Seltzer made with antioxidant vitamin C is a big vibe. As the first hard seltzer with antioxidant vitamin C
Starting point is 01:00:40 and bold and delicious dual fruit flavors, Vizzy Hard Seltzer passes the vibe check. They just launched their first nationwide mimosa hard seltzer pack and busy has taken the classic oj and champagne duo to a new level by creating a hard seltzer inspired by the classic cocktail their busy mimosa hard seltzer is made with real oj and it's going to come in four delicious flavors strawberry orange pineapple orange peach orange and pomegranate orange we ordered mimosas to the pool on Saturday morning. When they arrived, I was like, get this out of my face.
Starting point is 01:01:10 This has no antioxidant vitamin C from the superfruit acerola in it. I kind of like when the mimosas are served in a can because I feel like I can regulate my intake a lot better. Oh, yeah. As opposed to like they're just pouring it up and next thing you know. Well, these things, I mean, they have other variety packs out there too their watermelon hard seltzer they got their classic flavor combinations like pineapple mango black cherry lime strawberry kiwi blueberry pomegranate as you guys know already busy hard seltzer the seltzer that passes the

Yesterday, last day of the trip, last morning of the trip,
Starting point is 01:02:32 I wasn't sure I was going to even get up and do it. And then after I did it, I just had this thought like, I feel so much better than I did when I got here. It's amazing. God dang it. It's amazing, dude. It's all I want. It's all I want in life.
Starting point is 01:02:44 Dude, I thought I had it made with my steam shower. Now I'm just begging for it. It's amazing, dude. It's all I want. It's all I want in life. Dude. I thought I had it made with my steam shower, and now I'm just begging for it. The boys are just plunging. Just Wim Hoffing. Do I need to hit up my landlord and ask him to put in a cold plunge? You absolutely do.
Starting point is 01:02:54 Like, hey, dude, can we turn this extra bedroom into a cold plunge room? Hey, Brett's underselling how bad I played. Like, I cannot find... I mean, if you saw his video and you slowed it down like one of our, quote, friends did and sent it to our group text.
Starting point is 01:03:07 That's messed up. Did you? Yes, the club face was going one way and the ball went the other, which is difficult to do. You were sleeping. You were kind of sleeping at the pool mid-afternoon after the golf round. And I don't know if Brett knew that you were like right behind me when he walked up and he goes, he comes up and he goes, dude, we got to fix Dave. He was broken on the course today. And he was saying it really loud. I was like, dude, shut up. Dave's right behind me when he walked up and he goes he comes up he goes dude we gotta fix dave he was broken on the course today and he was saying it really loud and i was like dude shut up dave's right behind me no i heard you he's gonna punch you i didn't actually i heard you did you
Starting point is 01:03:32 hear how much i deflected from it i was trying to be a good friend dude there i it was absolutely warranted and it's like i think it's the closest i've been to crying on a golf course dylan there dave i've been there the first time i played with my brother-in-law my father-in-law and my other brother-in-law i played in mexico with them the first time i wasn't they weren't my in-laws then they were just you know sally's family i had the yips on the course and i'm pretty sure i shot 120 and it got to the point where i like i hit one bomb drive and my father-in-law looked at me and he goes we're playing wolf he looked at me he goes you know i can't pick you oh and i was like yeah i get it that is i understand that is that cuts deep so i got home and i i threw i threw my clubs into the wall i was so angry i get it you can't get out of it either and it's more frustrating when you're playing in mexico and
Starting point is 01:04:20 you can't figure it out because it was a it was a fun round we were the concession stations were leaving us you know feeling great yeah client ate two hot dogs yeah as you do i can't talk shit on that i ate like six tacos they weren't huge hot dogs in his defense i could have easily housed two but i was too busy uh berating myself in my head anyway let's talk about cocaine so as you guys know we're we're an espresso company now. We purchased an espresso machine for the new office. Non-spawn. It's getting underused. I'll say that right now.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Anytime we talk coffee, you know it's non-spawn. Yeah, no one sponsors us. I also have one at home, and I love ordering the pods in the mail and getting them in the mail. But now I'm kind of bummed because I've never gotten any cocaine in the mail. but now i'm kind of bummed because i've never gotten any cocaine in the mail uh swiss police say an investigation is underway after workers at an espresso warehouse in western switzerland found over 1100 pounds of cocaine with a street value of over 50 million dollars as they unloaded coffee beans that arrived by train old gene love cocaine did he is that Old Gene loved cocaine. Did he? Is that?
Starting point is 01:05:29 This also notes that the cocaine seized has an 80% degree of purity, and its market value is estimated at 50 million francs. Is this Heisenberg? I don't know. Like, that's good shit, right? What was he doing? I don't know. 80% is like 93, 94%. That's what he was doing for the meth?
Starting point is 01:05:41 That's what Jesse got to at the very end. But this is some straight- up Breaking Bad shit, right? 80% sounds good. I don't really know. I don't really dabble. I've got a family. I'd like to continue doing this. I don't really dabble.
Starting point is 01:05:59 80% sounds good. Dude, these days, too many stores out there, people's cocaine or whatever, being like laced with fentanyl or just other stuff that you don't want in your system. Yeah, what's the other 20%? This was quote destined for the European market. It's probably baking soda. In Breaking Bad, where did they have that underground lab that they had? Was that underneath the Pollo place? No, it was under the laundromat.
Starting point is 01:06:32 The laundromat. That's it. That's it. I think there was also the chicken farm out there. Okay. But yeah, the laundromat was... I'm imagining that the Nespresso factory looks exactly like the lab that they were cooking in. Oh, I don't want to give it
Starting point is 01:06:45 don't nope don't do it dave don't do it i i honestly kind of regret saying that i'm i started uh i know better call saw last night because i'm worried that a bunch of backers are going to reach out with spoilers please don't do that all i'm going to say just wait the good thing for me the good thing for me is that my memory is so bad that if someone gives me a spoiler i'll probably just forget it let's just say you're going to get origin stories that you're going to like. I can't wait. I can't wait. There's even like a little like, I mean, they drop a little bit in even the first episode
Starting point is 01:07:11 with Mike. Did Mike, I think Michael go down. I know he was appreciated by Breaking Bad fans, but he might go down as like, like one of the best, one of the best. Would you call him? He wasn't a co-star supporting cast yeah he was he was a good supporting person but he was like supporting the support even at times he was so good and i think i read this could be wrong but that they wrote when people responded
Starting point is 01:07:37 positively maybe this was saul one of the two they wrote more they didn't plan on them being this big of a player but the response was so good that they wrote more. I'm really excited to get into this series, David. Dude, Bob Odenkirk's so good. I don't know why it's taken me so long. I mean, same reason I haven't seen Shrek. I don't know if I've ever seen Shrek all the way through. Is Mike Myers?
Starting point is 01:08:04 Yeah, baby. Shrek is jellic, baby. I can't know if I've ever seen Shrek all the way through. Is Mike Myers? Yeah, baby. Shrek is Jellic, baby. I can't get past that. Randy, have you... Randy's like dying over here right now because we've never seen Shrek. I'm made of green, baby. Oh, yeah, baby.
Starting point is 01:08:14 My donkey, baby. Yeah, donkey's talking. Is that your bag, baby? Oh, does that donkey make you Randy, baby? Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. Like, Randy, have you ever seen... Does your microphone work randy
Starting point is 01:08:25 nah it's not working sorry uh go uh have you seen lion king all the way through like are you a lion king guy have you seen aladdin and stuff like that because i feel like there's probably a lot of stuff that you've never seen before now he says he's never seen lion king or aladdin no he said he said he's never seen it before i don't know there's just like i'm not unless fritz is wanting to watch it i'm just not really watching that many animated movies that aren't pixar these days we just throw on bluey stop doing that i love this i love this song it's but when that comes up on the on the playlist i i crank it up and i'm like looking in the rearview mirror to see if he's reacting i'm like and he's just looking at me i watch it drive fuck i watch a soccer podcast on youtube and
Starting point is 01:09:12 there's one person that fritz loves watching talking to the microphone on there and it makes no sense to me but whenever it's a lad yeah it's a lad gary neville it's and uh he but every time he's talking to the mic fritz like turns his head and like looks at him and starts watching it so i think fritz is just going to grow up an absolute lad football bruv there are worse things i thought i saw an english soccer star at the resort that we were staying at in the gift shop and i was so convinced it was him but i'd literally seen him playing in a game the day before that he would have had to get it immediately on a flight and fly to cabo that's a long flight i just didn't think he was doing
Starting point is 01:09:46 that something i didn't really consider when anytime i've traveled to mexico is how being in texas obviously it's a border state how accessible it is compared to like people i was talking to those people from pittsburgh that were really nice that were there on that company trip and they were like yeah like we don't like people from the the northeast they go to bermuda because the flight's not bad like nobody's going to cabo because it's like an all-day thing it's easier for us to fly from austin to cabo than it is for us to fly from austin to like new york easily it's not a bad it's a great problem to have yeah yeah when i talk to like my buddies who like live out east
Starting point is 01:10:24 or something it's like no they would never like going to cabo is very inconvenient for them to especially flying home were you at the hot tub when that man from nantucket came through there's a squirrel right underneath you in the window and i thought it was in our office and i started freaking out he heard he heard the boys were nuts out i thought there was a i thought we're gonna have another dinner roach thing like we did the other night what just a cockroach flying into into drew we watched that thing we watched it scale down the face of that mountain or that those rocks that cliff and the next thing you know is on drew's shoulder and the entire table's freaking out he had one in his hotel room the next morning did you know that no so he went from getting
Starting point is 01:11:04 pelted with a cockroach at dinner the night before, and he was going to the bathroom the next morning, and a cockroach just crawled out. Maybe this is his origin story. Dude, it might be. He's going to be in the cinematic universe of Marvel soon. Dude, he's Roach Guy. Roach Guy.
Starting point is 01:11:17 We should start calling him the Roach. He would hate that. Yeah, he would hate it, which means we have to start doing it. Anyway, so these guys are selling Coke. Yeah, so if you're getting any Nespresso in the mail lately keep an eye out they do include two free uh like sample things every time which i appreciate and then around valentine's day this year they sent us a box of chocolate who nespresso oh they included a box of chocolate in our shipment that's pretty nice it was way too many it was way too much chocolate.
Starting point is 01:11:46 It's still in a drawer. I've been eating it every night and I can't get through it. I thought it maybe was for mocha to drop into your coffee, but it doesn't melt when you put it in the coffee. It doesn't melt fast enough, so it doesn't really work. I thought it was like a mocha thing. I would have tried the same thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:00 That's not weird at all. My brain told me that when it was making the coffee and it went on there it all melt and become this beautiful chocolate goodness so wait is there any i guess if the cocaine's 80 pure then like it's not mixing with the espresso but i'm just kind of thinking like what does that do what is what what what dimension is that adding to the uh to the experience of using the? I think we should start a coffee cocaine company. Should we do like they're doing with workout supplements, just over-the-top names? We just do over-the-top drug names for our coffee. I'd be fine with that.
Starting point is 01:12:38 Delete that part. Yeah, delete this, Randy. We got to keep this for our proprietary. New mission statement needed now. Everyone clear their schedules this afternoon. We got to keep this for proprietary. New mission statement needed now. Everyone clear their schedules this afternoon. We got to meet on some stuff. Randy, you're our mule. Think of how many drugs you can fit in that luscious booty,
Starting point is 01:12:56 that bodacious booty of his. I don't want to think about that. Well, you are right now. Yeah, I kind of am. All right. A lot of drugs. I think it's time. Everyone, we are right now. Yeah, I kind of am. All right. Probably a lot of drugs. I think it's time. Everyone, more stuff tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:13:09 See you beyond the paywall. Patreon.com. So I circled back podcast. Too much dip today. It's going to probably be Dave and KJ. Dave and KJ show. All right, let's ride. Bye-bye. you
