All right, we're back.
Circling Back Podcast presented by Vizzy Hard Seltzer,
the only hard seltzer with vitamin C from Superfruit Acerola.
My name's Will DeFreeze.
It's my left.
David Ruff.
Dude.
Mischief night last night was spectacular.
We toilet papered a couple houses.
We brought Rhodes Man on his first forking adventure.
Did you guys steal slash smash pumpkins?
Because mine was in a million pieces on my driveway this morning.
David?
Was it Rhodes?
It was probably a rodent.
Was it Rhodes?
It was probably an animal.
Animals don't just pick up pumpkins, carry them to my driveway and smash them.
An animal has done that in the past.
At some point in history, right?
Did you see that video of the hippos eating pumpkins?
Yeah.
They were just demolishing those kids.
What's that mouth do?
You see that, Will?
No.
They do watermelons all the time.
It's the first time I've seen a pumpkin.
They've got good jaw strength.
Oh, man.
Yeah. What animal has the most jaw strength oh isn't it like a jag a jag is definitely it's definitely way
up i got the strongest bite there's no way that's the strongest but i mean who knows how for a pound
i mean yeah but i don't want pound for pound like i want why don't you use like you know how like
ants can lift like x amount of what they weigh.
Like, that's not cool because, like, they're not putting up big boy weight.
They're still putting up small baller numbers, you know?
Relatively speaking, that is big boy weight.
It is still pretty cool.
Yeah, but, like, if an ant was in the gym...
I can outlift an ant, yes.
It would be so annoying for him to have to take your stuff off the rack in order for him to go bench.
That's true.
What if...
That would be really scary if an ant became, human sized right let's walk around with a car on his back like it's nothing i
know all right you guys ready for this list talk about like nose tackle just plug the hole man
this says great white shark has the number one bite force in the world really um yeah it also
has a saltwater crocodile up there
the saltwater crocs those are the ones you got to worry about it also has the nile crocodile i wear
mine in freshwater too though it's not a big deal my crocs really the nile crocodile up dude we're
trying to get that flow for bag you know there's between an alligator and a crocodile what one only lives forever
an alligator to see later david a crocodile you see after a while okay
i think it's either over everyone's head or no one's like the crowd's not laughing i'm out here
i'm gonna walk off now walk off like in disgust or like walk off home run like i don't know
probably in disgust okay i don't think that one really hit home you're looking at your notebook
looking at everybody i'm doing the the joker doing stand-up meme you wouldn't get it babe how do you
feel about uh diddy going full joker makeup killed it your boy i didn't see this out of all of your
friends dylan who did joker, who had the best Joker makeup
this Halloween season? It was definitely Dave.
I haven't seen Diddy yet, though. Shout out to intern
Callie. She did it too? Makeup skills.
No, she did it on my... She's only
makeup. Gotcha. Yeah. Makeup
to me? That's stupid. She did your makeup, Dave.
That's a different way of saying it.
Very cool, man. So give us
the next... Is there any dog
or cat on there? sorry sorry man i'm
just yeah yeah where's the jack i i understand yeah not not caring about anything okay so this
says wait a minute is this that is this that website that elon tweeted out last night yeah
the one that he responded to hillary with with the super epic tweets okay topical so we're gonna go
top 10 right now animal jaw strength edition stop screen looking
dude why are you screen looking my guy no number 10 is a grizzly bear at 970 psi pounds per square
inch that's it number nine say say psi as if it was a word to see all right go ahead number nine
spotted hyena i've heard that it's not the one that laughs that nine, spotted hyena. I've heard that.
That's not the one that laughs.
That's a laughing hyena.
Number eight, polar bear.
Polar bears are so dope.
Polar bears weighed in at about 1,200 PSI.
Did you see the video?
This is a new segment of mine.
It's called Did You See the Video?
It's good.
Polar bears, to avoid cracking ice, will just kind of kind of crawl cute it's bad it is it's pretty
funny until they get on their their legs again and then just rip your face off i as much as we're
told that polar bears are extremely dangerous i still don't i still just want to vibe out with
them you know i just want to hug them and cuddle them like we've been taught every time you go to
the zoo like they're playing with a ball in that like like thing of water they're having the time of their lives like around christmas time they're
just crushing coca-colas i know like and it's it's like i worry about diabetes man there's so
much sugar in that it's true it's true uh number six jaguar there it is only on number five
hippopotamus number four american alligator nile alligator saltwater alligator, saltwater alligator, and the number one, great white shark.
I don't know if I believe this list, if I'm being honest.
I feel like there has to be other sharks on there
if the great white's number one.
You know that sharks preexist dinosaurs?
Yeah.
They also existed before trees were even on Earth.
That's how old sharks are.
There were no trees here.
There were no trees.
Sharks were here before trees.
Straight up, no one knows that.
Yeah.
It's facts.
How do they know this?
I'm not a scientist.
You can look it up.
Are you just using Uber facts?
Yeah.
Whatever that site is.
When you have a son who's very obsessed with dinosaurs and books about animals that are that old, you learn a few things.
Hold on.
Are sharks older than trees?
Are sharks?
Yeah.
That was a good hunting and pecking.
The earliest evidence of shark fossils dates back as far as 450 million years,
which means these creatures have been around at least 90 million years before trees
and 190 million years before dinosaurs.
That's crazy.
We know that about trees.
That's fucking wild.
I just think there's a point where like years are in the millions where like we just start to not know
stuff it's like that yeah it's like if you're if you have 500 million dollars is 800 million
dollars even gonna matter like is that gonna change anything and i think that's a little
like that with years a little different hey how do we how do you carbon date tell me that's a cool
fact i'm asking a question about it, though, before I have a take.
I don't know if I can classify it as a fact because I don't know if I believe it.
Gators are also super old.
We have shark fossils, and that's how we date them.
What do we date trees with?
How do we know?
Dave, you're asking the wrong guy.
I don't know how the evidence came to be.
I just know that it's out there.
What if trees were burned off the face of the earth
due to some kind of crazy phenomena
and then the sharks were still living
because they were in the ocean and weren't burned?
And now they just think that the sharks
were around before the trees
because the other trees that got burned down.
A massive state of the universe.
This guy, the big brain on Will.
See, again, big archaeology is out here
just you know
maybe spreading
misinformation
and I'm out here
just asking the questions
that's a cool fact
I share with you
y'all learned something
today and it was a cool one
and you're welcome
bet a lot of listeners
did too
that list actually
went exactly
as I thought it would
yeah it's not that surprising
like all of those
minus the specificity
for the hyena,
it's like, yeah, that makes sense.
Hyenas are kind of cool, man.
No, they're not, dude.
Did you see how disrespectful they are in The Lion King?
Yeah, that's true.
They are jerks.
Did we ever talk about that Scar might have eaten Mufasa?
Dude, what's up with that?
Did you see this?
That guy's viral TikTok.
No.
Because there is a scenario in the wild when the male lion, I guess, or the female lion,
will eat the remains of a dead fellow lion.
Cannibalism is what I'm talking about.
Sure.
And there's a scene where Scar has a skull, a lion skull.
And this is after the death that he orchestrated.
Yeah.
He put a hit out.
He did.
It was an inside job.
Him being on the inside.
Clearly.
And people are wondering,
did he not only have his brother killed,
but did he eat his brother?
Man, I don't even want to think about that.
Scar was a bad man.
I know, Mufasa was a real one, too.
Mufasa.
Scar just a total jerk, man.
Good looking, though.
Insecure.
Good looking.
Scar?
Yeah.
I thought he was a good looking lion.
He had the bad boy swag to him.
Yeah, he had that eyeliner on and stuff.
He's just Rocky.
He was no Mufasa.
He was no Mufasa.
Well, Mufasa, there are different types of attract.
Scar was like Machine Gun Kelly.
Yeah.
You know?
Kind of bending the lines.
I was going to say Pete Davidson.
Kind of frail.
Okay.
Same wave, really.
Kind of frail.
Like Sans Party Tats.
Bad boy shit.
Scar has some tattoos, but he covered them up later in life.
Because he didn't want to go to hell.
Mufasa is like a Henry Cavill hot.
Yeah, exactly.
You know what I mean?
Precisely.
Just different vibes, really.
Yeah.
What's he been up to?
Is he going to be the new Bond?
Cav?
He's in the running.
Apparently, he's in the top three.
That dude is scorching hot.
He's a little old, per my sources.
There's a hot dude in the nude White Lotus.
I'm just going to get out in front of him. This dude's hot. I'm very bummed in the nude, White Lotus. I'm just going to get out and from him.
This dude's hot.
I'm very bummed I didn't start White Lotus last night.
Should I let Bay not watch it or something?
Hotter than Davide?
Let me talk about it.
No one's hotter than Davide.
That was a trick question.
He's a reality show guy.
I unfollowed her.
I can sue the other day.
I can sue?
I don't need her content.
Yeah.
And it didn't work.
So I'm still following her.
Oh.
Yeah.
Interesting fact.
Instagram was like, nah.
That's a great way to end spooky season.
Yeah.
That's like the new Goosebumps book.
Yeah.
The unfollowable.
The un-unfollowable.
Parks brought a Goosebumps book home with him from the library at school,
and I'm so happy.
I was like, dude, I used to read these when I was a kid.
They're still doing their thing, man.
RL's still doing it.
Is he still doing it?
I don't know how old the book is.
It was the one about the abominable snowman.
Dude, our man is still going.
Yeah, RL's alive and kicking.
I couldn't wait to tell Parks. You know what I've always said, wine them, dine them, RL's dine going. Yeah. RL's alive and kicking. You know, man, I couldn't wait to tell Parks.
Hey, man.
You know what I've always said.
Wine him, dine him, RL Stein him.
Yeah.
Hit him with that RL.
Is he related to Ben?
RL needs a new Wikipedia picture.
Win my money.
That show sucked.
Win Ben Stein's money?
Yeah.
We just don't need Ben.
Why is Ben Stein, why was he even a thing? Let's get the most boring guy ever. He was just the't need Ben. Why is Ben Stein... Why was he even a thing?
Let's get the most boring guy ever.
He was just the boring character actor.
I mean, he had his moments.
Bueller.
Like that.
Bueller.
He's not in class.
Just go on to the next guy.
And it's not that big of a deal.
I don't think we need to send the principal to the kid's house.
Yeah, let him skip.
The principal should not trespass either
a principal like crossed a lot of lines yeah

us a voicemail on there for our weekly voicemails 888-618-4422 and you know we guys you guys already
know about spooky season but if you're feeling extra spooky today and you haven't dipped into
some of those today's probably a good day to do it great halloween come on go subscribe on youtube youtube.com
circling back and go cop some merch wash media dot shop we got it all over there but before we
get into today's episode let's hear from our friends over at fit bod building a new workout
routine shouldn't take hours of research and keeping things challenging shouldn't mean buying
even more gear and the fit bod app creates a workout routine that adapts as you improve and
uses the equipment you already have.
So you can reach the next level without burning through all your free time or
your cash and getting started and sticking to a program or two of the
biggest obstacles in exercising.
But FitBot just makes it so easy.
It doesn't matter if you're going to the gym,
you're putting a big boy weight like Dylan over here,
or you could just be in a hotel room on a work trip with no actual equipment,
needing some body weight exercises.
Yep, there it is.
I love doing body weight stuff when I'm alone in a hotel.
Just doing push-ups, squats, jump squats.
People under me complaining.
That happened.
That actually truly happened.
Dylan used to skip leg day all the time.
Then he got fit bod and it was like, dude, your legs are tiny.
You got to start firing on these things.
The app will not actually tell you if your legs are tiny.
But it can recommend exercises for you if you want to improve your leg size.
So if you're not hitting a certain group, it's like, yo, player.
Yeah, why'd you work out like a bitch today?
It doesn't say stuff like that.
It's like, you need to get your quads going.
Become Quadzilla.
But it will tailor a workout for you and your desired outcome.
And it confuses your muscles, which is what you want.
Muscle confusion.
Those fibers don't know what hit them.
And they're like, whoa, never done this before.
I have no choice but to grow.
There it is.
All you have to do is add your equipment, pick a fitness goal,
and FitBod creates a routine for you.
So whether you've been missing gym time or you hit a plateau,
a fresh start has never been easier.
The app switches up your exercises to avoid overtraining or burnout,
and your program changes based on your personal progress for maximized results.
A full year of FitBod is less than the cost of a single session with a personal trainer.
Join FitBod today and build a routine that grows with you
without slimming down your wallet.

Headlines.
Headlines.
Headlines.
Ooh.
Ooh.
We're going to do some virtual headlines.
Dude, that sounds great.
Headlines, Dylan. That does sound great. Headlines, Dylan.
That does sound great.
What a intro song.
Shout out, Randy.
Make sure that was Dave's voice.
Randy made that.
He's the DJ.
Right.
Another DJ in here.
DJ's here?
No, you're here.
Oh.
What's up, DJ?
What's up, man?
I don't like that. Doesn't stick? Nah. If you're here. Oh. What's up, DJ? What's up, man? I don't like that.
Doesn't stick?
Nah.
If you're not familiar with headlines,
headlines is something we do
where we write fake headlines
that actually have now turned out to be real
in some circumstances
for certain news stories
that are in the cycle right now.
We like to imagine that something in pop culture
has happened and one of us has written about it. And then we come up with, as a group, funny headlines to go along with it.
And we're, uh, we have fun with it. We used to do a, a B testing. I never liked that.
I did. I love the idea of it. It just never yielded the results clearly, um, that we wanted
to, but it was kind of fun because you're like
you're like oh do i go the funny route or do i go like the obvious route and now we just go the
funny route in theory mine aren't that funny but i have felt better about my headlines than i do
shut up i don't even feel bad for you dude because like you you've had truly the goaded headlines
the last time we did headlines uh we don't we don't tell A-Bomb what to cut for clips.
He featured mine, didn't he?
He gave you like four out of the five, and Dave got the other one.
So I knew that I absolutely bricked it last time.
So I need to start bringing it a little more.
I was just happy to be there.
How's it feel to be the GOAT, Dylan?
It feels pretty good, man.
I had three right before we started recording.
I didn't feel good about it.
I quickly wrote four more.
Okay.
Quickly.
Okay.
So, you know.
Again, I don't feel great about it,
but I am happy to share what I've written.
Have we said what we're doing this week?
Elon?
Elon.
He bought Twitter.
He bought Twitter.
He fired all the people at Twitter.
For 44 billion doge.
He has since tweeted stuff about Nancy Pelosi's husband
to Hillary Clinton from a news site that has been...
Satirical one, right?
I don't know if it's satirical or if it's just...
Just flat wrong?
What some might call fake news.
I believe they've done some satirical stuff, yes.
Okay.
It's satire.
Yeah, I mean, satire is a thing.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
We wouldn't be here without it.
Don't take it seriously.
I skidded out on some rain
the other day.
I'm thinking I have some sad tires
that might need some attention.
I think it's a little different.
What?
Sad tires.
No one's ever made that joke
in the history of the world.
I know.
No one.
People laughing?
No, they're not.
They're definitely not.
You can make them laugh.
Who wants to lead off?
I feel like everyone's scared right now.
I'll jump in.
No, go ahead.
No, you got it.
No, you're ready.
This is classic.
Okay.
I got it.
This is classic.
And if I may,
I don't know why you're cracking your knuckles.
I made the crack noise with my mouth.
You about to play piano or something?
Beethoven over here.
Yeah, what are you doing?
Tickle the ivory.
That's my Beethoven.
Been working on it.
Beep, beep.
Who's got the keys to the tweet?
It's Elon Musk, y'all.
Okay.
Okay.
I got one here.
Elon, go Eloft player,
must spend $44 billion on social media platform just to be crystal
clear 44 billy you just uttered the phrase go eloff player yeah okay i started a little more
conservative a little more toned down for my first one uh this must be the place twitter officially
the property of elon okay. Play on words there.
Not great.
Talking heads tie in.
Yeah.
So I came up with an idea the other night at Brett's Spooky Monster Bash
that I'm going to start a playlist called
This Must Be The Playlist.
And it's just all covers of the talking heads.
It's the 400 naive melody covers
that exist in this world.
Exactly.
It's not a bad idea.
No, it's not.
I would jam it.
If any backers want to steal that idea, feel free.
You got another one, Dave?
No.
Yeah.
Is Elon Musk low-key having a moment, y'all?
I can hate that.
Come on, man.
That's elite daily.
Yeah. I haven't heard from them in a minute. They popped Come on, man. That's Elite Daily. Yeah.
I haven't heard from them in a minute.
They popped up on my Twitter.
You know, like at the bottom of trending now, it'll give you like some options of news.
Well, like look, Daily Mail and Elite Daily, Frankie Jonas.
I didn't know there was a Frankie Jonas.
I got one.
Oh, Frankie.
Unhappy about Elon's purchase of Twitter?
Well, you have 240 characters to complain about, bitch.
That's good.
Why do you come at the character limit?
It's a tweet.
You're just coming at the users.
Yeah.
Yeah, I might do that again later on during this.
Elon clapped back at Hillary in a moment that certainly won the internet today. did it I hate it I hate it I hate that too I mean anytime Hillary gets involved in any of this stuff it
just immediately becomes a little cringy she did a mannequin challenge with Bon Jovi she kind of
crushed yeah a lot of people forget that Bon Jovi was a part of that she kind of crushed it no she
didn't they didn't.
They didn't tell her at the end, like, don't talk to the camera.
It's a mannequin challenge.
Yeah, just be still and shut up.
Yeah.
That's what they should have said.
Also, you should go campaign in the Rust Belt.
We love the Rust Belt.
Just want to say.
Maybe more talking to the common man than spending time on private jets
doing mannequin challenges.
You said it, man.
Elon Musk adds 10th child to his ledger after Twitter acquisition.
Can't stop fucking.
Y'all.
Oh.
Chill out, Dave.
He does fuck a lot.
That's aggressive.
He does.
What?
And he's arguably fucking Twitter.
He did something I've never heard of someone doing before.
He did IVF with his mistress.
Not funny. Yeah, that's not a move you see too often.
What the fuck?
Tesla. Sorry, was that the one that
worked under him? Yes.
What a fucking psychopath. Tesla,
more like Mesla. What an ordeal
this Twitter acquisition was.
It's good.
Okay.
Okay.
The man does have a lot of holdings.
It's him.
Hi.
He's the problem.
It's him.
Musk playing Twitter's anti-hero.
It's good.
Yeah, it's topical.
You get it?
Of course.
Taylor Swift.
Her new album.
Yeah.
I'm still banging that new album, by the way. I just wrote one, by the way. Oh, good. Yeah, it's topical. You get it? Of course. Taylor Swift. Her new album. Yeah. I'm still banging that new album, by the way.
I just wrote one, by the way.
Oh, good.
No market cap?
How Elon's Twitter takeover spooked Silicon Valley, y'all.
Is that a play on no cap?
Musk buys Twitter.
That's it.
That's the tweet.
Okay. That's good. That's the tweet. Okay.
That's good.
See, you said you didn't have any good ones.
That's it.
And then you dropped that.
That's the tweet.
You dropped this, King.
C-suite.
More like C-a-suite.
Musk fires everyone.
Spooky season extended.
If you work at Twitter, Elon's coming for that ass, y'all.
That's good.
He's firing everybody.
From SpaceX to the space bar.
Don't forget, you only have 240 characters, so be concise.
This guy gets into the real weeds of Twitter.
This guy is in there.
Be concise.
Be concise.
weeds of Twitter.
This guy is in there.
Be concise.
No one's referenced something that I think needs to be referenced.
Your Keylon, me smalls, must start charging $20 per month for blue checkmarks.
Is that really the rumored rate? Dude, yeah.
What's his problem?
$20 a month?
$20 a month for a blue checky.
Man, Twitter's going to come out.
I got one for free a long time ago.
I know.
Can you get grandfathered in?
I don't know.
I saw $20 and then I saw $5.
Someone was saying that they're doing the thing where they float $20
and then when they say, well, it's actually going to be $5,
people are like, oh, that's not bad at all.
It's not bad.
If I pay for a year subscription, can I get it for like $49.99?
I've already planned on not being verified any longer.
If I have to pay for my verification, I'm taking it off.
We'll see.
We can argue about it for the company accounts,
like the show accounts, but personal, I don't really need it.
I'll probably keep it because I'm insufferable.
Who we got? oh knock if you musk can we finally get an edit button y'all
knock if you musk that's what you said dude they have one dude they unrolled it in england is that true i got one
oh yeah it didn't yeah our boy our boy edited his tweet you ready yeah come get this ratio old man
boomers flocked to twitter after announcement of elon's latest purchase wow okay okay god i hope
that's not true i do too just a number of reasons yeah they like free speech though my mom took some
classes at the library about how to use Twitter.
Definitely applies.
I don't have any more.
That's kind of funny.
Wait, what did you just say?
My mom, she took some classes at the local library about how to use Twitter.
Is that true?
That's very true, David.
That is the most adorable thing I've ever heard in my life.
This one's for Nancy.
Nancy, you're the realist.
Oh, this one's actually...
This is bad.
Am I even going to read it?
I'll read it.
Looks like Elon just threw up the bird
to his biggest critics, y'all.
Oh, that's good.
That's not bad at all.
Bird Twitter.
Yeah.
That's not bad at all.
I have two more,
but they're not good.
I don't want to read them.
Let's just end on a high.
Okay.
Well, that means we need a better one.
So this better be good you need
to read both of them from electric cars underground tunnels and spaceships to a place to share memes
must portfolio is fucking out there that that's the longest headline it's long like i said it
wasn't good does that fit in the character limit when you have a link attached to it for sure
for sure you're gonna have to go to what is the thing we used to put it into bitly and stuff yeah bitly bit there's too many plugins
yeah we had hoot suite that like shortened it down to owly or whatever it was like i made us
get on asana to like make sure we were doing our tasks nobody got on it and it lasted a week
no people people used asana for a little bit and the other not media it took me two years of working at grand x before someone told me that slack has an app and
not just a web browser part of it that's kind of on you yeah no it's for sure on me it's for sure
on me i think even i knew that yeah i was signing into like what art into a grand x.slack.co or
something the entire time like a total dumbass.
Give us one more.
Yeah.
It's not good.
Give it to us.
It's really bad.
Give it to us.
Take us home.
It's not even about Twitter.
It's just stupid.
Why don't you just read it and we'll judge it?
SpaceX?
More like Space Flex.
Elon Musk has a lot of money.
That's pretty good.
It's so bad.
Anyway, I'm finished.
Where does the money from Elon's bank account go when the $44 million gets exchanged? How does this work? It's billions bad. Anyway, I'm finished. Where does the money from Elon's bank account go
when the $44 million gets exchanged?
How does this work?
It's billions, sir.
Billion, I mean.
With a B.
How does this work?
All the shareholders.
Escrow.
All the shareholders or something.
A trust account.
I don't know.
The shareholders.
I don't know.
The shareholders.
The shareholders. I mean mean he had to pay
like a premium right for this to happen he had no he had the shares he paid more than the shares
were no no he had to get a john duda premium content pass okay and then he was allowed to
purchase that's where i was confused okay thank you um i did see that he uh so he did as will
mention in his headline he did shit can multiple execs facts and apparently he's he's um firing
them for cause i don't know the ins and outs of that but i will say that means that they will not
be getting the severance packages um that they probably planned on getting.
So I feel like the litigation on this thing is about to just be dirty as hell.
Like the depositions, everything that's going to go into this, and it's going to be like three to five years of just hell.
So get ready.
Hey, get your popcorn ready.
I think billionaires should pay their own fucking severance packages.
It's Bill Simmons.
You know what, Bill?
I kind of agree, man.
Thank you.
We sipping in there, dog.
Yeah, what kind of gas you got in there, dude?
Dude, this is that refrigerator water.
Wow.
Oh, shit.
Straight up filtered shit, y'all.
That sounds good.
Do y'all change your filter all the time in that thing?
In that thing?
No, just in general. Yeah. I don't know. Just in general.
Yeah.
I don't think I do it enough.
I replaced this one when we hooked up the line.
How often are you supposed to do it?
It's not monthly like your air filter, right?
Six months.
Something like that.
Okay.
We'll probably do soon.
Word.
Yeah.
Cool.
Cool, cool, cool, cool.
Very cool.
Hey, that was a fun segment.
Hey.
Yo.
Headlines.
Headlines. We're going. Headlines, headlines.
We're going to do some original headlines.
Dude, that sounds great.
Headlines, Dylan.
That was headlines.
Our friends over at 10,000,
they put out some of the greatest workout gear I've ever experienced.
Yesterday, I woke up and I was like,
you know what?
I'm going to toss on some of these 5-inch inseam 10,000 shorts
and just absolutely flex the quads.
You know what I did?
It wasn't the most high-intensity thing, but yeah, I did some –
You did lunges.
I did some trucking through the neighborhood with old Fritz,
just pushing that stroller around.
I put on my 7-inch inseams last week, and I did weighted lunges,
and it lit my ass and legs up just absolutely lit them
up all right gents listen up okay what what what i'm just sharing my work i'm just worried about
your legs and i'm a little worried about his legs and ass too no they that's why they're
busting you're absolutely filling out these 10,000 shorts lately. I know. I know. Okay.
What?
I'm getting mad thick.
Yeah, but in the good way, dude. I know.
That's what I'm saying.
In the good way.
Just trying to be humble.
Yeah.
I mean, these shorts are next level comfortable.

These shorts, they have a no-bounce pocket system for your phone,

Jumped rope yesterday.
Facts.
Didn't have to worry about it flopping around.
My phone, that is.
They've got their session shorts, the interval shorts,
but I don't want to gloss over some of their shirts.
Their long-sleeve performance shirts are just incredible stuff.
If you're out there just absolutely working your
butt off at the gym,
you got some HIIT workouts,
as Dylan would call them.
Some call them HIIT workouts.
No, that's not how you say it, man.
You could be just absolutely grinding at a
spin studio.

What happened?
I don't know.
If you got suspended and you no longer follow me, please go
do so at Will DeFreeze.
Whoa. I just wanted to hit
that add me on the Grom button for the first time in a minute.
This is a little sus.
Elon sus?
Why are all these Instagram users
leaving the platform?
Sorry, I got my wires crossed.
You know what's crazy when elon took over
twitter i gained 10 000 followers really yeah that's a lot it is a lot yeah it's pretty wow
i guess i was getting shadow banned what's been all those boomers that flock to the app people
they were shadow banning my fajita tweets you can't do that no dude i have i told you guys what
my fear tell us man i'm worried i'm becoming the Mika Sina wife.
I'm absolutely obsessed with shredded cheese lately.
And like last night, last night, I did an early Matt's El Rancho dinner where I got
the tacos al carbón that come with a side of shredded cheese.
The shredded cheese side was not even enough for one taco, let alone two.
And so I asked for some more.
Next thing I knew, I was waiting there for 10 minutes.
My tortilla got soggy on one of my tacos
because I was waiting for so long,
but I couldn't eat that.
I didn't want to eat them without shredded cheese.
Where were you?
Mattel Rancho.
You know where I was?
You got to give it a rest.
Give that gut a rest.
You go there so much.
I only went there once last week.
How many the week before?
Maybe twice.
Maybe twice?
I haven't been in a while, actually.
Well, since I went with you.
Brought up.
Brought up, dog.
We were straight mobbing.
We had the most popular table in town.
Yeah.
Which one?
Were you guys in the center room?
Your brother-in-law wore a Justin Bieber hat.
He's got to stop wearing that hat.
No, it was a Bumble hat.
It was a Bieber hat, and it says Drew on hat. No, it was a Bumble hat. What hat was it?
It was a Bieber hat, and it says Drew on it.
Micah gave me a Bumble hat because Micah was famously retiring from dating as he got engaged,
and so he gave me his Bumble hat.
Why did he have a Bumble hat to begin with?
That's a good question.
And then I gave said Bumble hat to my brother-in-law, who now wears that Bumble hat all the time.
And I'm like, dude, why are you wearing a Bumble hat?
Is it ironic because he's often with his wife wife and kid and he's wearing the bumble
hat and he's like oh like when i see he loves the the high crown trucker cap yeah do you think he
owned a von dutch hat absolutely absolutely dude i feel like paris hilton speaking of von dutch is
having an absolute moment right now is she i don't know. She was all over my TL.
Yeah, y'all.
She was all over my TL with her Halloween costumes and stuff.
She's looking great.
Big Paris Hilton guy over here.
I love Paris Hilton.
She's fantastic.
It's hot.
What about Perez Hilton?
I'm out on him.
That guy stinks.
He's the original Dumas.
I don't know.
He got canceled.
He did something.
He did something.
He did something really creepy, I think.
Dumas is really having a moment. Why got canceled. He did something. He did something. He did something really creepy, I think.
Dumois is really having a moment.
Why?
They're putting out merch, and I hate to say, some of it's pretty dope.
By the way, I finally matched that unfollow button on Instagram.
I didn't know what the hell was going on with that. On Dumois?
Yeah.
Yeah, I think I...
Oh, I did too, I guess.
I did too.
They have 200 stories at a time, and I don't want to sift through and find the one interesting
one.
Oh, Dave, they're completely appropriating Grateful Dead culture everybody
yeah everybody everybody is yeah I am why haven't we actually you are too yes just cut my life I
probably will give me a few months why is everyone getting kicked off of Instagram I was hoping you
could tell us I don't have any answer right now they They have since tweeted saying that, and I quote, the Instagram communication account.
We're aware that some of you are having issues accessing your Instagram account.
We're looking into it and apologize for any inconvenience.
Randy, how many followers did you lose this morning?
I found no inconvenience.
Like 30 or 40?
Wow.
I lost about 2 to 300.
That's a lot.
Oh, dude, I went from 10.9 to 10.8.
That's not cool.
See, I'm back up now.
At one point, I had lost about 200.
Now I'm only down about 50.
I don't even want to say it, what happened 31 minutes ago,
because it's so annoying.
But Randy got another gram off while we were recording.
I know.
So last night I was getting into bed,
and I saw that I had a text message from Jared Borslow,
J-Bone, Formula Bone.
And he said something to the effect of,
Randy's going to have an all-time photo dump tomorrow
during the episode.
I just hope you know that.
It's 10 slides.
10 slides. Randy has gotten a know that. And sure enough... It's 10 slides. 10 slides.
Randy has gotten a photo off.
You tag me?
Dude, what if this doesn't perform as well
because people are getting suspended left and right
from Instagram right now, right?
Credit where credit is due.
He crushed his costume.
I didn't know who this character was, to be fair,
so he actually had to explain it to me
and show me a picture of the character.
He really did crush it.
If I knew who he was, I'm sure it was a really good character.
So it's a cartoon character whose hat is so tall that it's never in frame in the show.
It's always out of frames.
You never know how tall it actually is.
And he made sure that in his Instagram that that held true to all pictures,
as all of them are out of frame.
held true to all pictures as all of them are out of frame i've learned this halloween season that fairly odd parents is something that i don't know anything about and rugrats is something that
randy's generation don't know a ton about uh maybe maybe a little younger than randy's sally mentioned
to uh a bomb adam that fritz was going to be a character from rugrats and he didn't seem to know
who that was until he remembered
that he did watch the Rugrats, like, the teenage year series
that apparently existed at some point.
I don't want to see the Rugrats as teens.
Apparently Tommy Pickles has purple hair just like his dad.
Does he have a drug problem?
All right, that's not something we joke about.
Jesus, dude.
What, you think he's gone off those perks?
All those kids, one of them's on drugs.
I mean, statistically speaking.
It is what it is.
I hear Phil's just a total burnout.
Lil's just like trying to get him off of it.
I don't remember their names.
Phil and Lil, dude?
The twins?
I do know some of them.
Twins.
Twins.
Twins.
Twins.
He's gone off that perk?
Possibly.
How long until the Scaries account gets banned again?
This is definitely happening today, right? Dude, Zuck loves banning that account dude what's his problem dude is he just
acting out because of uh meta just blowing up and their stock prices i saw this i don't know
why home depot kind of caught the stray but it was like meta's facebook or uh stock price is now
below home depot yeah that's a completely unnecessary strength for Home Depot.
Home Depot is just out there slinging tools, home furnishings, garden center.
The metaverse might not work, guys.
Should I have not bought that 3-2 in that good part of the metaverse?
Yeah, that was an idiotic move from you.
Good school district, good meta schools.
Yeah, I messed up there, dude.
I know.
You even sprung for the better lawn.
You got that Bermuda grass.
I know.
We were thinking about adding on, turning the garage into like an office, give us more
square footage.
Huh.
I don't hate that move for you.
Meta footage it is.
Yeah.
Have you thought about putting in like a back house or anything for some guests that come
into town?
Yeah.
Yeah.
HOA keeps us from doing that.
The meta HOA. Hoo-ah!
That's what I think when I see HOA.
Hoo-ah!
Someone's just yelling.
Al Pacino.
Al Pacino, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Scent of a Woman, right?
Is that the movie?
When a billionaire makes a-
Creepy name.
Yeah.
Yeah.
When a billionaire makes like a big splash purchase
like buying Twitter or something,
like do you think there's chatter
around all the other billionaires?
Like, all right, who's going to outdo him?
No.
No.
I feel like this is actually some succession shit,
what Elon Musk has actually done here.
Has so much money.
When is that coming back?
Spring?
Hard to say.
It hard.
No, I think it's not too far off.
Q1, Q2-ish? Sure. Definitely not Q3. spring hard to say it hard no i think it's it's not yeah it's not too far off q1 q2 ish sure
definitely not q3 you're speaking business terminology right yeah early 2023 i'm seeing
here david oh okay that's exciting okay okay do you guys mind if we do something real quick that i
i need to do you want to circle back something? Can we circle back on circling back?
Will you mute me real quick?
I want to use the tissue.
I would love to.
Man, it would be too bad if I forgot how to unmute him.
Oh, no.
Where'd Dylan go?
We talked last week about a king cobra named Houdini who escaped from a Swedish zoo.
And I can say he has crawled back into his terrarium.
He came back?
Slithered back.
A venomous 2.2 meter, 7 foot king cobra that escaped from its home in the Swedish zoo has returned back home by itself,
bringing a happy ending to an over a week long disappearance saga.
He got homesick or what happened there he
must have dude he was like i gotta get back in there he's like all right my big day out i'm
kind of hungry kind of want to sleep in my own bed it's like when you're a little kid and you
like pack a backpack like you're gonna run away and then you get to the end of the street you're
like this is a bad idea i don't know where to go i'm eight yeah it's like oh like i have to go hunt
for my my mice like it was kind of nice when you know your mom's like you oh, I have to go hunt for my mice? It was kind of nice when...
Your mom's like, you got to do your homework.
You're like, I'm not doing shit.
I'm out of here.
And you pack your little backpack.
I'm moving out.
You're gone for seven minutes.
You brought one shirt.
Some crackers.
Some Umbro shorts.
Some animal crackers.
Some Swiss cake rolls.
This isn't going to last me.
Wait a minute.
How long is a Swiss cake roll going to last you in the wild?
I made it all the way to Taco Bell.
Oh, yeah.
I don't have any money.
Okay, little baby.
I have no money, no bones.
I'm not supposed to do that.
You got to have bones, man.
Got to have bones, man.
Got to.
So this was in Sweden, huh?
What?
You think he was so cold outside, he was like,
I'm going to go back to my terrarium.
It's nice and cozy in there.
I don't know.
What's the sweetest weather right now?
You got to think it's chilly.
I bet it's chilly.
Late Octobes.
Probably crispy.
Oh, yes.
50s?
Oh, that's crazy.
They're just living in that 50-degree range with six degrees on either side.
Dude, 50 with the sun is so much different than 50 with clouds.
Cobras like it warm.
I know that.
It's facts.
Are there snakes in any cold weather
climates at all?
Yep.
You never seen the ice snake?
The Arctic python?
Yeah.
It's the only thing that can kill a polar bear.
There's no way, right?
They're all...
You used to call yourself that back in the day.
They're cold-blooded animals.
The white snake?
There's no such thing as a snow snake, per Google.
Snakes are not active in winter
and are certainly not looking to bite.
That's good news, y'all.
When did snakes first hit the scene?
We learned about sharks earlier.
How old are snakes?
Why don't you tell us?
I don't know this answer.
You got to think it's after sharks.
Snakes are thought to have evolved from terrestrial lizards
as early as the middle
Jurassic.
That's millions of years ago.
174.1 million years
to 163.5 million years ago.
Damn, I would have guessed Pangea.
It may have been Pangea back then.
Super continent. Yeah, because you know the continents have slowly
drifted apart over the years yeah it'll drift we should get them back together how
we're eventually going to collide with like north korea at some point right
oh yeah things keep going the way they're going no like literally like oh yeah fight over resources is looming be weird man
isn't like california like gonna separate at some point yep that's see that's scary big big
old earthquake there's gonna be a day that we wake up and it's like san francisco god they don't have
the votes to do that they tried just gonna float away dude it's gonna happen to some major city at
some point we're all to be on notice.
I've been hearing about the big one since I was a little kid.
And it did occupy real estate in my head.
And the few times I've traveled to California,
I always kind of think about it.
Like, ah, big one. Yeah.
What if I'm here for the big one?
I would like to experience just a mild earthquake.
See, I'd rather be...
I've experienced a mild one.
OKC.
Oh, yeah.
That's right.
Yeah.
But Dave, if you're not there during the big one,
you can say when the big one does happen,
like, oh, man, I went there one time.
That's true.
That's crazy.
See, we went to San Diego one time.
Yeah, dude.
That could have been us.
God, dude.
The Golden Gate Bridge.
I actually drove over that about 12 years ago.
And now it's closed down.
That was my desktop background.
That could have been me.
Man, my heart goes out.
Indeed.
Yeah, I want to give thoughts and prayers to everyone who was affected by the big one.
I hope the big one doesn't happen later today or something.
We just get straight canceled.
That would be tough.
happen like later today or something we just get straight canceled that would be tough yeah that'll be like the the time we tweeted out that headline on the tfm account oh my god schedule dude yeah
i forgot about that that was terrible the worst timing imaginable yeah if you're running a small
to mid-sized media company and a tragedy happens make sure to go look at your scheduled tweets
for those who don't know what we're talking about there was a terrorist attack in paris
and several hours after the fact excuse me a scheduled tweet went out on the tfm account
that said something along the lines of paris takes its latest l and then followed by something else
france takes its latest france takes its latest L. And it was just like.
Like, oh, man.
And it was about something totally different, obviously.
Bad luck, though.
Yeah, you got to check that cue.
You know, we learned a lesson.
Or y'all, I'm saying y'all, I'm distancing.
I think that was a J-Bone joint.
Dave and I had nothing to do with it.
It was a J-Bone joint.
Okay, I wasn't going to name names.
But yeah, it was definitely him. J-Bone. He handled, I wasn't going to name names, but yeah, it was definitely him.
J-Bone!
He hailed it well.
No, he hailed it well.
Here's why.
Unsurprisingly, with the F1 driver costume the other night.
He was rocking the, did you notice the gloves he had?
No.
They were Shenandoah Shine.
Oh, really?
Delph sent him some gloves, some driving gloves.
Shout out Delph.
That's sick.
Yeah, for online driving. I guess you wear gloves
when you online drive. Is that a thing?
Yeah.
He was twitching, right? Randy probably knows.
Randy knows everything about Jared.
Yeah, they're
besties for the resties.
Yeah.
I'm glad the snake found its way home,
unlike the cobra in
Grand Prairie.
People say it's still slithering up the side of I-20.
Some say.
I'm not slithering, right?
It's probably dead.
Every day I'm slithering. I'm slithering.
Every time.
That's my snake.
Do it again. Dude, it's like a snake's in here
it's crazy
that's wild
it's so crazy
Dave's a
assassin
I'm like a flirty one
like a bashful
like
it's the same thing
you're just doing my snake
no it's a little different
no
your snake talks though
no he doesn't
you don't
yeah about the azaleas and shit remember though no he doesn't you don't yeah about
the azaleas and shit remember you're just silent you just don't speak you're flirty don't speak
you do it all with your eyes i know what you're thinking you've pulled that's not that is that
how it goes that's my least favorite no doubt song dude no doubt she was dating the guitar player or the bass player
now she's married to blake shelton yeah she went from one musician to uh another musician
you you celebrate his entire catalog don't you shelts yeah yeah he's really good man
i like that song he's got about uh the creek some publication gave him the sexiest man alive recently ridiculous blake shelton yeah
he's like a six yeah okay he's got the height he's tall he's got he's got the height for sure
and he's got that thing that a lot of people like in a in a guy and that's the ability to
play terrible music yeah that too yeah i sometimes i wonder why women are so attracted to him and
then i remember that he's a six foot five uh rich musician with a uh prime time slot

I couldn't design a more perfect man, physically speaking.
You didn't just ignore me?
I didn't ignore you.
You guys ignore me.
I didn't ignore you.
I was talking about Chris Hemsworth.
No way.

Oh, don't even get Randy started.
Keep his mic on.
Yeah, don't.
Randy's pissed right now.
He wants to bring back Cum just to yell at the Thor movies.
That's Cinematic Universe of Marvel.
Yeah, you can actually find that on Patreon.
Patreon.com slash Circling Back Podcast
which, you know, I will say to all our
patrons out there, thank you guys so much for riding
with us. But I gotta say, there's a
lot of things out there that I subscribe to that I completely
forgot I subscribed to. There it is.

on subscriptions? Because 80% of people have
subscriptions they forgot about.

but it's a necessary one.
It holds me accountable.
Expensive week.
These guys were formerly known as Truebill,
and the app shows all your subscriptions in one place
and cancels what you don't want for you.
Rocket Money can even find subscriptions
you didn't know you were paying for.
You may even find out that you've been double for a subscription and to cancel a subscription all you have to do
is press cancel and rocket money takes care of the rest i actually have a subscription and they
didn't uh they didn't cancel it for me because i still wanted it you know what they did do
they got me a cheaper price that's awesome yeah to a failing newspaper oh i think you know what i'm talking about i believe
i do yeah yeah um we used it at work recently saw some recurring things that uh we had going

good idea last time uh during its debut i talked about a cocktail um halloween themed cocktail a
pumpkin old-fashioned have you had one yet uh i have not but it's not too late today's halloween you can
have them i think it's seasonal so i mean i think it goes through fall pumpkin pumpkin does go
through october you're right you can still you're not doing pumpkin in december if you're doing
pumpkin pie at thanksgiving there's no reason why you should be able to do a pumpkin what was it
old-fashioned you you envision a cornucopia There's a pumpkin in there. And that's like fat.
Or at least a gourd.
Can I share a pumpkin anecdote?
I did something shitty at Brett's Spooky Bash.
Did you throw his pumpkin off the balcony?
No, but we were there.
Did you take a dump in his pumpkin?
And I reached into his fridge
and I saw he had like one pumpkin head.
You did not.
And he said that those beers were in play,
but it was his last one.
And I cracked it and started drinking it.
And Alyssa's like, hey, the Uber's here.
We got to get back because the sitter needs to leave.
So I'm like, I pounded like as much as I could.
It's not the most poundable.
It was very good.
And I left it.
Damn.
And he probably had to clean up and notice.
It was like, who the hell did this?
And it was me.
It was your boy.
You just got pumpkin cucked.
Damn.
David Roth the pumpkin cuck.
Our boy.
Yeah, that's right.
He didn't deserve that.
No.
He had a good party.
The spread at that party was very impressive.
The cheese ball, by the way.
Dessert cheese ball from our friend Randy over here.
There was a moment.
Pretty good.
There was a moment when I walked in and I thought, I saw the cheese ball and I thought,
oh no, Randy bricked the cheese ball. And I got, I saw the cheese ball, and I thought, oh, no. Randy bricked the cheese ball.
And I got really nervous.
But then once I tried the cheese ball, I started to be a little more understanding of the cheese ball.
Did you know that it was in the shape of a skull?
Yeah, that's why I was worried.
Because it was in the shape of a skull, the integrity of the cheese ball did not live on as long as I think we would have wanted it to once people started dipping in there.
Right.
It also didn't help that the dipping things were bones.
They looked exactly like dog treats, which, Randy, I mean, how would you review your cheese ball performance?
Oh, I think it was amazing.
I think it was ahead of the party.
I saw anyone's talking about it.
It's true.
It's true.
It's very true.
We're talking about it. I've seen a lot of booty chatter on Twitter about it, actually. A ahead of the party. I saw anyone's talking about. It's true. It's true. It's very true. We're talking about a lot of booty chatter on Twitter about it.
A lot of booty chatter.
I don't remember much from that party because I blacked out.
Yeah.
But I do remember that cheese skull.
It's a good ass cheese skull.
Dylan, what are you doing with the space bar?
This one is space related.
Okay.
You're not going to go back to the bar?
No.
Let me tell you about the Rosette Nebula
it's a massive star forming area
in the constellation
Monoceros, the unicorn
the nebula is a huge cloud
of gas and dust that resides
near a big molecular cloud
and is
intimately linked to an open cluster
I don't know
it's just a bunch of letters and numbers.
It doesn't matter.
Anyway, NGC 2244.
Okay, that's the one I thought.
Are you familiar with that one?
Yeah, it's molecular.
It stands for knocking a cap.
Its stars were created 5 million years from the nebula's materials.
This nebula resides 5,219 light years away from Earth
and is 65 light years in radius.
Can you show us the Rosette Nebula, Randy?
What's interesting about it is it looks just like a skull.
Oh, I see.
I don't love it.
Isn't that spooky?
Some of that doesn't look just like a skull.
Yeah, it does.
And as today is Halloween, I thought it was actually,
and also we just talked about Randy's cheese skull.
Now, can I ask you a question?
Everyone's talking, well, just to be clear,
everyone's talking about Randy's cheese skull.
Is this what it actually looks like if I'm looking through my telescope,
or did NASA do the thing where they touch it up and add color to it?
This is not viewable through your telescope,
I don't believe.
You've never seen my scope.
This image, I believe, is from the James Webb telescope,
which of course-
Oh, Jimmy.
Of course, it's imagery that you don't have access to, Dave.
So you can only see this skull from our vantage point on Earth.
So if you're on the other side of it,
what does it look like from there?
From where?
Or is it just a floating skull?
It is 5,219 light years away.
Yeah, you get it.
Do you know how far a light year is?
No.
Is it older than sharks?
Do you know how far a light year is, Dave?
Pretty freaking far.
The distance light travels in one year.
So it's 5,200 of pretty far pretty far the the sun for
example is about eight minutes it's like it takes eight minutes for the light to get to earth so
what's the next step here do we investigate this skull just imagine if you're an alien and you're
cruising through you know space and you look to your right and like there's a floating skull
you're probably not going to go
over there uh that's i would immediately go over there very spooky this should be on the mantle at
the skull and bones house at yale or whatever they should like worship this right before the
kid from dawson's creek like gets in a gunfight with the other dude people aren't ready to talk
about that the first half of the movie the skulls is maybe one of the best first halves of the movie
of all time.
Skulls is a fun movie.
It goes a little off the rails,
but the beginning of that movie
is so good.
It's up there with like,
there's probably a list
to be made out there
of all time movies
that start really, really good
and then end up sucking.
I hate that part
when they get all like the new,
what do they call them?
Associates,
the new initiates
or whatever. Pledges. Pledges. And they get them in there and they line them up and then they make
them eat like uh i don't know like ice cream cones that are stuffed with lard and have dips
sprinkled on them like that's not cool yeah don't do that crazy yeah don't do that they're just the
whole half the movie's just telling them that they're fucking the worst pledge class ever
they fucking suck you'd have to get everyone's interview and sometimes the the actives would
just make you pound like yeah like a whole you know fifth of like really cheap like plastic
bottle bourbon i like the part where i throw up everywhere yeah it's not good and then there's
that part where they made that kid go get a taco cabana at like 1 30 a.m and it was like 40 worth
and they never paid
yeah so the poor kid who probably doesn't have any money because he doesn't have time to work
because he's awful pledging skull and bones yeah yeah i heard joshua jackson was doing method acting
and he ate an entire recliner before they started taking
is that pacey yeah yeah should we do so that's probably a good time we're doing a full uh
dawson's creek rewatch on patreon full rewatch should we do the laguna beach one
i don't recall oh like the actual laguna beach show uh yeah because everyone knows laguna beach
is coming back it's going on netflix not just on Paramount+. Dude, absolutely.
It is such an entrancing show to watch in this day and age now.
Why?
Just because it's so staged.
There's no way these kids are just walking around
doing the things that they're doing.
Yeah, it does kind of feel like you're watching an actual show.
Yeah.
I had some time to kill during a nap of fritz's uh probably like a year ago and what i found
myself doing was i was just watching season one of laguna beach on paramount plus and the memories
that flooded back from high school for me were just through the roof you guys were in college
at that point which one was ryan cabrera in uh the hills was he the hills probably
the hills you remember him shittiest hair oh yeah shittiest hair of all time what was he thinking
with that it's not good it was a different time what's his hair look like now probably like shit
same same shit i think he's maybe positioned himself as a like he like got in like the ashton kutcher investment fund i don't know about good but oh yeah what are you finding dylan um he has like a modern version of what he used to have
back then he still bleaches it it's not good bleaching it and it's not just because oh my
he just slicked it back yeah Yeah. He has like a...
He's like a total idiot.
He looks like...
Who's the guy in The Boys?
There you go.
Yeah.
He and Cole Campbell have similar hairstyles.
It's not good.
All right.
Oh, it's time, baby.
Are we done with the skull?
Yeah, it's cool, man.
It's just creepy.
It's spooky.
And it's today's Halloween. And's just creepy. It's spooky.
And it's today's Halloween.
And it's very far away from here.
Space bar.
Space bar.
When did they release this?
Space bar.
It's been around for a very long time, actually. No, no, no.
But when did they release this image?
I mean, it had to be in the last few months, I guess.
Do you think they held it for spooky season?
Like, just to get a little bit more buzz?
Maybe make the space bar? Just like Will did with that one show? The other for spooky season like just to get a little bit more buzz maybe make make the space
bar just like will did with that one show other for spooky season stranger things you guys heard
of it just like that actually people a lot of people are still applauding me for that move yeah

He went all out, as he does for his monster bash.
Incredible spread, like I said earlier.
Whose costume was your MVP?
Provided alcohol.
You can't go wrong with Barrett Dudley.
He did good.
He was the king of Halloween.
Yeah.
It's really fun going to dinner with him before in your costume.
He was, what's the guy's name?
Beetlejuice.
Beetlejuice, thank you.
He was Beetlejuice and he was perfect.
You would know Beetlejuice, I don't know if you've seen it,
but the person who plays Beetlejuice is Michael Keaton.
Now, you probably know Michael Keaton more from the founder.
Yes. Ray Kroc from the founder. Yes.
Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonald's.
He absolutely crushed that costume.
Laura did a great job, too, as the other character in the movie.
I don't remember her name.
Lydia.
There it is.
She looks like Wynonna Ryder.
Yeah, she does.
Sunday, we went to Little Bay's little school festival thing.

It was a good one.
Really good one.
What'd that boy get into?
Is that me?
Do you know who it is?

thrown off i i guess i didn't really do shit this weekend other than brett spooky bash we went to
dinner before full full costume,
people coming up to Barrett
wanting to get pictures with him like he was a celeb.
One guy came up, as soon as he walked in,
he's like, yelling from New York, man, you're killing it.
And the whole rest of the dinner was spent like,
why did he tell us he was from New York?
I guess people go hard on Halloween in New York.
He's like, look, this is coming from a New Yorker.
Yeah, that doesn't mean anymore.
I know.
It's like, what am I missing?
That's just New Yorkers just throwing that out there.
He also had a backwards Kangol hat, which was pretty sick.
Yeah, didn't really do anything.
Surprise, surprise.
But I did have a great time at Brett's party.
And I apologize for leaving
half of a pumpkin head
hopefully somebody came up
and drank it

The Verde's done something special down here in Austin.

They got me on board.
Football.
The beautiful game.
I didn't think it was possible.
Joga bonito.
Did they ever get Micah on board?
No.
No, they did not.
I would love to get Micah to a game.
But yeah,
they fell to LAFC
in the Western Conference
Finals.
I watched that on
television yesterday
in the comfort of my own home.
It was devastating.
What was the problem?
Just
like
getting the ball
to the midfield?
They laid an egg, David.
They laid an egg.
They couldn't get it
out of the zone?
Drayusi kind of laid an egg,
but I'm not going to be mad at our best player.
There's a lot to look forward to as a Faraday fan.
Exactly, exactly.
Some of the young talent.
I went on a straight taco tour this past weekend.
Your boy hit taco flats on Friday.
Went two hard shell tacos
because I'm just built different at this point.
I was trying to talk down on hard shell tacos. I was, yeah different at this point i was trying to talk down

uh in terms of costumes obviously barrett's in the running uh if i knew who randy's was i'm sure
it would it would have been good one right he deserves credit um brett did a great job uh oh i mean whaterson brett i was describing like brett and barrett
are people that and dave dave and uh alissa i think are these people too they just have the
halloween gene i don't i don't have it uh i'm just so impressed with everyone's everyone's
costumes in general but brett looked just like Wooderson from Dazed and Confused.
He was hard to look at just because of the way his hair was in his face.
Yeah, it was a little emo.
You know when he does emo, Brett?
It was like that.
But he nailed it.
It was really good.
But yeah, not too much.
It was a pretty straightforward weekend in Austin, Texas for the squad.
And so, yeah, I'm excited tonight.
I'm excited tonight to go take Fritz out in his costume and see how he reacts to everything.
If I had to guess, I bet he's going to get really shy and not want to do anything.
Which hood are y'all hitting?
I don't know.
I don't make plans.
I just follow the rules.
I hear that, man.
Yeah.
You know how it is, man.
