Starting point is 00:00:00 all right we're back circling back podcast coming to you live from austin texas my name is will defries to my left david roth hey man big left and right guy you really are um i think this is going to be a fun episode and easy we've got a little twist on it it's gonna be good we have a special guest in the studio today he's getting introduced faster than dylan ever does you might know him as the magic bullet some know him as the worst to ever do it i know him as my good friend Brett merriman ladies and gentlemen Brett merriman happy birthday to uh get rich or die trying it is 20 today just to make everybody feel a little bit older out there how many skips uh according to Dave zero skips except for one one of the best one of the best moments of my
Starting point is 00:01:06 high school career just life in general was when i was on spring break and my buddy and i we were grinding for the first time uh in a very long time with two girls nice grind train sin not a grind train he and i were really kind of facing each other while the girls were facing away. And at one point... Clothed Eiffel Tower? I mean, we weren't grinding them together. These were two separate islands of grinding. Okay.
Starting point is 00:01:37 And they were facing you while you were grinding? We were just in the general vicinity of each other. You guys are getting caught up on some semantics here that don't need to be worried about. And Indy club was playing and in the middle of grinding with these these young ladies my buddy and i high-fived and it was one of the it was one of the cooler feeling things i've ever ever done at club tequila in cabo in uh in playa del carmen that's a great high five that's a that's well done if you'd rank high five. If you can high five to Indie Club. No, we only do fist bumps now in this economy. That's true.
Starting point is 00:02:08 I was saying before the podcast, many men into Indie Club, as good of a back-to-back as I've seen in modern music. You can skip 21 questions. That's fine. But everywhere else on there, it's just good song after good song. P-I-M- pimp that's not one of my faves but i'll i'll let you not skip it okay i'll get mad there's some beats on that when i hear them my face looks like i mean an altoid mango sour well that's a very specific reference
Starting point is 00:02:38 what everyone's not doing mango sours look at these these things, David. I wish this was an ad read because this would be the best sponsor we've ever had. If Altoids wants to get back into the sour candy game, they have a free sponsorship right here. Do you ever do the thing on the back of the bus where you would have to stick your tongue out and put one on and whoever lasted the longest wins? And they would burn holes in your tongue, basically?
Starting point is 00:03:03 You would go home for dinner and not be able to taste? I feel like did that with warheads yeah we were more of a war we were warheads kids like to do wet biscuits brett right yeah weren't you a biscuit guy wet biscuits uh we had i don't understand that we had a general store at the ski area and they sold warheads by the knob yeah they just had massive bags of warheads and so it would be one of those things where it's like all right let's get on the chairlift if you can hold it in your on your tongue for the entirety you win badass do you guys have bosco sticks no uh hold on hold on this is a very midwest thing i feel like someone someone brought these up recently no we didn't have we did not have bosco stick that's not familiar that is an all-time ski resort food bosco sticks they were the original stuffed breadsticks dave i would eat
Starting point is 00:03:44 those yeah i would eat these yeah for sure for sure would man there was nothing better than just absolutely ruining your mouth for the next four days by just mainlining warheads just the sours give yourself ulcers love them your stomach lining perhaps from chugging the uh yeah i don't know a certain salsa from a certain restaurant in the austin area the only time i've actually felt like my stomach might be rotting through was after I drank three lemonade Four Loko original recipes. I think I was like 23 at that point.
Starting point is 00:04:12 I was out of the Four Loko game. And I took three down during the Michigan-Penn State tailgate, and I was never the same after that. You didn't know it at the time, but that was as good as it was going to get. That was like the highlight of life for you. For sure. I was wearing the Nick Saban uh uh like pre-season camp straw hat oh fuck yeah yeah i had i had a nice like branded michigan polo we were just out there just living
Starting point is 00:04:35 living life having a good time nothing like a like a 52 degree tailgate late september mid-10 weather michigan's up against some sorry-ass school that's going to get beat by 30. I have bad luck at Michigan-Penn State games. That's famously where I got swine flu as well. The Little Brother game? Who's the Little Brother, though? Brett. Come on, everyone knows who the king of the Big Ten is.

I would also very much implore people, if you're an Apple podcast listener, thank you. If you're a Spotify person, also thank you. But if you're an Apple podcast, go leave us a review a review you guys mind if i read a couple reviews please one
Starting point is 00:07:09 says a double-edged sword it says this podcast gets five out of five stars but the three hours i spent trying to explain to my wife how maddie b caused 9-11 gets one star you know it's tough three hours is a long time i can't imagine what kind of tangents or wormholes you went down there. There's just not a lot linking him to it. But if you look hard enough, there's stuff out there. Noted user Dylan has been to the Masters commented, the sizzling fajitas of podcasts. You might have to update the ad deck with this.
Starting point is 00:07:39 We are the sizzling fajitas. So happy hours out. Sizzling fajitas is in. Correct. It says the moment, you know, the moment at a Mexican restaurant where everyone's minding their own business. And then all of a sudden a waiter kicks down the kitchen door and brings out a hot screaming dish that just sizzling with flavor. Everyone in that room, even for a second is looking at that dish. That's what it's
Starting point is 00:07:57 like when you tap play on your first episode of a wash media podcast. I've listened to these three amigos since their first episode of the previous podcast pre sizzle squad for all the real ones. Wow. A lot of ups and downs have happened in my life since then, but these three amigos since their first episode of the previous podcast, Pre-Sizzle Squad, for all the real ones. Wow. A lot of ups and downs have happened in my life since then, but these three kings have been a mainstay in the week. Give them a chance to earn your business. You'll like the way they sound. I guarantee it.
Starting point is 00:08:14 That's just a good review. That's a well-done review from start to finish. Can we give that a page in the pitch deck? Like, just that? Why'd you call it the bitch deck? Did I? That's what it sounded like. Well, it's your deck.
Starting point is 00:08:25 I'm sorry. I don't want to talk about it. That's cool Did I? That's what it sounded like. Well, it's your deck. I'm sorry. I don't want to talk about it. That's cool. I just like the review. Can you do another one? I thought it was very heartwarming. Okay, we'll do one more review, and I'm going to do this one because it's about me.
Starting point is 00:08:34 I usually don't do the negative ones, but it's about me, so I'm allowed to do this. It says Will's takes overall. This is from Darby Lunchbox. It says, is Will beta Colin Coward? Example one, Disney adults get too much flack.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Wait, wait, wait. I said maybe we should just be a little nicer to Disney adults overall. Okay, terrible take. Okay, I agree.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Yeah, that's what this guy said. Did you leave this review, Brad? The other one was Game of Thrones, never watched past one episode.
Starting point is 00:09:03 That's not a take. I don't really watch it. Number three says Yellowstone is the worst and then takes his family to a rodeo in Western hats. Yet he grew up in Michigan. You decide. That's not fair. The last one, I hard disagree. I would say that the reason I don't like Yellowstone is because it is a little too far of a departure from a classic Western.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Too far. It is a little too far of a departure from a classic Western. Well, too far. Yeah, you can not like Yellowstone and still enjoy attending a rodeo. Yeah, that's fine. I feel like there's plenty of people at the Fort Worth Rodeo who weren't big into Yellowstone. Do you have cowboy boots yet, though? Nah.
Starting point is 00:09:38 No. I'm not trying to totally, you know. Stolen valor type of stuff? Yeah. I did. I bought a Stetson. I'll be honest. I'm not opposed to getting boots, but every time I go try them on and I'm like forcing
Starting point is 00:09:52 them onto my foot, I'm like, yeah, this doesn't really sound that exciting. Yeah, the four times a year you wear them, you're like, oh, okay, I'm doing it. It's all right. I'm just happy you got some. I did. I have a pair of boots and a pair and i had now i don't wear mine that much anymore no old square toe david what your your boots yeah my steel toes my dudas that's stolen valor i break that is definitely stolen valor uh i break them out
Starting point is 00:10:18 every now and they're good they're good for like a good restaurant you're from texas though you busting them out's different than than if i was just busting them out to go to a good restaurant. You're from Texas, though. You busting them out is different than if I was just busting them out to go to a nice restaurant. That's fair. I just feel like I'm stealing valor. I feel like that when I wear my Western hat.
Starting point is 00:10:31 I do, too. I'll be honest. I don't feel comfortable wearing cowboy boots and a cowboy hat because I know I'm not. I'm not that. The cowboy hat's
Starting point is 00:10:38 a little different. Although I would wipe the floor with you guys in a competition of shooting. Oh. I'm the best bull rider at Watch Media. Best bull rider? Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:10:49 My shoulder would pop out immediately. See, you got the shoulder issue. And the ribs. Dave can't stay on long enough because he's got to get a tanky off. Randy's fat ass is going to fall off that thing every time. Yeah, like two pumps and I'm done. Randy, I think, would struggle with it but
Starting point is 00:11:05 but i like i would put my money on him but i think he wouldn't win they call me mr eight seconds for a reason because you can yeah hey what's a spaghetti western it's a it's a western um where instead of each other, they throw spaghetti and meatballs at each other. It's really messy. That's a more ape. Isn't it a genre of film where in Italy they decided to make Western films? Correct.
Starting point is 00:11:34 And they became very entertaining, right? They did. I was confused by that concept for a little bit. Oh, yeah. I thought it was a type of American Western, but yeah, no. I think noted maybe problematic person, Quentin Tarantino, he was always a big fan of spaghetti Westerns.
Starting point is 00:11:50 I think that shows through in a lot of his work. Yeah. Micah probably has to take that he only does spaghetti Westerns. How was Micah yesterday? Actually, can we just get to this weekend, recapping this weekend in fun, presented by our friends over at Rocket Money? Rocket Money.
Starting point is 00:12:04 I've been using rocket money more now than i have really ever and i have to admit i've been enjoying it i've enjoyed it so much that i have forced my wife to get on it so that we can just up our budgeting and then our transparency within our relationship there's so much to to talk about when it comes to rocket money you guys are both on it you know what i'm talking about you know how much those subscriptions always cost most americans think they spend around $80 a month in subscriptions. But guess what the actual total is? It's actually closer to $200 a month.
Starting point is 00:12:30 If you don't know exactly how much you're spending every single month, you need to try Rocket Money. Rocket Money, you just sign into all your stuff. It goes through. It finds all your recurring payments. And it says, hey, do you want this still? Or hey, maybe we can try to negotiate this down for you, David. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:45 I got the email this morning. It was saying you spent this much less last week than the prior right that's that's good to see it's my favorite app for that reason although i don't like what it says is that but that's your personal responsibility correct yeah they're just delivering the tough news that that you're a response it's like co-star for my bankgy town wow wow okay okay rocket money formerly known as true bill is a personal finance app that finds and cancels your unwanted subscriptions monitors your spending and helps you lower your bills all in one place over 80 of people have subscriptions they forgot about like a streaming service you bought just to watch one show on or that free trial that you never even used and rocket money will quickly and easily identify those subscriptions

That's rocketmoney.com slash circling. Again, rocketmoney.com slash circling. Brett, what did you get into again rocket money.com circling brett what'd you get into this weekend well i've started off friday uh a little happy hour at uh you might have heard of this car of american grill i've heard of that yeah high end high end uh or not not high end i would say like high end there's no there's no linen tablecloths here it's just a step above your your texas landing c cattle's i've never been to
Starting point is 00:14:25 that so i couldn't tell you if there was a bottle of wine if if that restaurant transformed into a bottle of wine it'd be like a 37 it would be a two second shelf it would be a two dollar bill sign to a three dollar bill sign bottle more importantly though bread is just uh an absolute regular there. Well, I live basically driver five iron away. Okay. So to be honest with you, it's very convenient for me. Like my five iron or like your five iron? Like 600, 500 yards, but we're talking here. I'd say it's probably 500 yards.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Okay. That's more than a 500. So it's a 300-yard drive and a 200-yard five iron. Like a Dylan Vortex throw. Yeah, something like that anyway um did the lobster corn dogs which are fantastic must have corn dog must must have absolutely must have fritz choked on a corn nut this past weekend that's not no i don't like that yeah it kind of it kind of brought the bit down a little bit for me bring sally didn't like after he got done choking
Starting point is 00:15:23 on it she didn't like my throwaway. Corn nuts. You had to do it, though. I had to. I had to do it. I had to do it to him. I mean, if she thinks you had a choice, she's wrong, you know? So anyway, I did a little carve, some fillets at the table.
Starting point is 00:15:36 I myself did the, oh, I can't even remember. That's sad. Oh, you're bricking this. Yeah, dude. Don't brick your weekend in fun, dude. You're bricking it. I think I did a burger or something like that. Really good burger, you're bricking this. Yeah, dude. Don't brick your weekend in fun, dude. You're bricking it. I think I did a burger or something like that. Really good burger.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Sounds like a panic order. Wow, dude. It was. Well, I go there enough. I'm just like, I don't know what I want anyway. Brett. Oh, go ahead. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Well, I was going to move off of Carve, but if you were. No, no, no. Go ahead. So there's two new restaurants opening. Okay. So there's two new restaurants opening in the Carve complex that I'm very excited about. One, Lingwu Asian. It's dim sum. It's soup dumplings. dumplings i cannot wait i can't wait for that to la popular which is a mezcal mezcalerita
Starting point is 00:16:12 mezcaleria sounds great tequila i'm just saying look out for lantana wait a couple years my neighborhoods it's blown up what does the the the latter sure what which is it a mezcal tasting bar no it's it is i'm confused him him brett describing it this way is doing it a disservice is it a taqueria let me i before i i think it's like a a fusion interior mexican restaurant you're absolutely you're correct i don't want to call it interior mexican one because i think it's going to be a modern take on traditional Interior Mexican food, but that's what it appears to be.
Starting point is 00:16:49 A new twist on an old fave. You've heard about a noted famous Austin bar, Abel's on the Lake. They've closed. It'll be reopening as a high-end Mexican sushi restaurant that will fail. It will fail. Can Austin just chill? They've got austin just chill they gotta relax a taqueria by the way is what la popular is so not a mezcal area there's they're specializing in an extensive mezcal menu is what i'm trying to say okay
Starting point is 00:17:19 happy hour by the way going to be phenomenal five dollar draft beer seven dollar glasses of wine eight dollar margaritas. They'll get you addicted to the Happy Hour, and then they'll end it two months later. And you'll be like, man, they used to have the best Happy Hour. That's sad. It's a good model. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:17:35 There is a Mezcaloria and a Gave bar on Mainer Road. Thank you, Randy. That didn't exonerate you at all, by the way. I'm just saying they're a thing. I said that, not Randy. They're a thing. Exoneration. No jail time. No breaking. That didn't exonerate you at all, by the way. I'm just saying they're a thing. I said that, not Randy. They're a thing. Exoneration.
Starting point is 00:17:46 No jail time. No breaking. I'm selling brick watch for a minute there. So did that. Had a great time. Shouts to Nick. Shouts to James. I thought we were getting off carve. Now we're just name dropping.
Starting point is 00:17:57 That's where we were at carve. Anyway. Saturday, did a little aspirational house driving out in lakeway fun stuff i love doing that loved looking at houses looking at neighborhoods and zillow baiting you know what they call that it sounds like you do zillow baiting right yeah so did some of that went to uh went to an italian place that was closed because they don't have any water oh and so we pivoted did they not get it shipped in from new york no i don't think they're doing stuff like that pivoted uh because it was
Starting point is 00:18:30 late and we went to magianos little italy wow magianos little italy hey no shame in that there is no there is no i've never been to magia but i why do i feel good i feel shame in that what was the order it's the pf changs of the italian one that order? It's the P.F. Chang's of the Italian one. That's perfect. So it's the perfect restaurant, but Italian? You're me, junior year of high school, with your first girlfriend, and you're going to North Park Mall,
Starting point is 00:18:55 going to a nice part of Dallas, and you're going to Maggiano's. When did P.F. Chang's go from being high-end dining to being looked at as like a chain that no one actually goes to anymore? Because growing up, when I heard that we were going to P.F. Chang's, it was like, we are balling tonight. You and me both, man. Same thing with Maggiano's. And then all of a sudden, like somewhere around the senior year of college transition, it becomes like, oh, it's sort of like a –
Starting point is 00:19:23 It's a punchline now. Yeah, it's the live, laugh, love of yeah i mean elevated chains the food is good yes it's very good hard i agree i enjoyed your big lettuce wrap guy right no i know i learned that in college i can't eat the lettuce wraps and definitely don't order them on a date dude i think it's mental disappear for eight minutes it's all all mental. Like immediately, too. I've never had anything hit me that quickly. Well, I got the fettuccine Alfredo. Very good.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Ooh. Nice light meal. Nice, really light meal. A man of culture. Yeah. Then Sunday, I got like a four-mile walk-in. Felt great. And ended actually Saturday and Sunday watching National Treasure 1 and 2.
Starting point is 00:20:08 So pretty good weekend. Are you going to dip into the series at all of National all of national no it doesn't have sally says that there's good reviews it doesn't i don't know it doesn't have nick cage in it facts but there's nick adams in it instead but they said he's actually defending the constitution from being stolen so so natty treasure three is supposed to come out at some point in the next couple years if it ever gets off the development room floor. And they built in the National Treasure 2, which I didn't realize. They built in a plot point that allows it to continue. The president's book, page 47,
Starting point is 00:20:38 that he takes a picture of, but they never actually acknowledge what it is he's taking a picture of. That's National Treasure 3. See, that's the beauty of the National Treasure universe is that they taking a picture of that's national treasure three see that's the beauty of the national treasure universe is that they they deal with weird things that happen in history which i put in quotes so like there's a never and there's never ending twist because they can alter history and suddenly have an entire new plot point you do whatever you want it's genius my wife has gotten me straight up addicted to national treasure stuff i love good
Starting point is 00:21:01 i love it i'm i'm all in i'm all in but uh yeah that was my weekend nick cage is national treasure you know what i mean what that boy get into did you watch pig yet no okay i'll just say i added to my carve uh celebrity list this week who um she's she's an actress that i wow super famous celebrity i forgot her name that is the worst tease ever hey dude thank you for that uh that clarification god i gotta you saw an actress a celeb and i'm sorry yes i and i remember her name and i can't is it mira suvari i don't know if you do remember by the time dave comes back i'm gonna name every female actress no no no sorry dave you can go ahead how was your weekend emma oh i saw dave this weekend and micah dave tell us about your experience with brett and micah i'm glad you remember that

Last week was horrible weather. And if you'll remember, his birthday was last week. So he's got some new stuff that plays well outside but not so much inside. Finally got to break him out, including his little golf cart, little battery-powered golf cart, which he's sneaky good at driving i'm very impressed um i'm still having to do curb watch for him because he will take that thing into a curb if you're not paying attention you're doing a rewatch a curb yes i am
Starting point is 00:22:35 larry david larry david uh oh he's also uh he got the fisher priceball set. Yeah, didn't you almost kill him this weekend, David? Damn. Okay. So we had set it up in the house, and I had shown him just kind of like how to, you know, just some really, really low-impact swings just to show him like that's what you do. Because I don't think we've ever sat down and watched baseball together. Shocker.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Brought it outside. Might have to call CPS if you make him watch those Rangers games from last season, you know what I mean? Come on, man. Shout out to T-Man. We made some moves. Shout out to T-Man indeed. Brought that thing out there, grabbed the bat, put the ball in the tee,
Starting point is 00:23:17 and I'm like, you want to do it? And he's like, da-da. So he wants me to do it. I'm like, all right, here we go. Let the big dog eat. So he runs to the back of the fence. It's probably like 15 yards away i don't i i'm telling you i did not take like a super rip at it but i'll be damned if i didn't smoke one right by his you had to dude buzz the tower and uh happened to be the one his mom was watching from uh the bedroom, and I heard her yell at me from that window,
Starting point is 00:23:48 which is very impressive if you know the setup of our backyard. Like, there's no – she was really not happy. I could hear her saying, oh, my God, David. That's exactly what it was. And I was like, look, I did not expect that. I'm really sorry. Anyway, yeah, so we're working on that angle, the t-ball stuff.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Saturday night, impromptu Matt Salarancho. Oh, yeah. Trip with the DeFrieses. And me. Nice. We out here. Alyssa and I were talking,
Starting point is 00:24:16 I was like, dude, let's just go, it was like four o'clock, we were outside with Rose, I was like, should we go to Matt's tonight? She's like,
Starting point is 00:24:21 yeah. Ten minutes later, Sally texts, seeing if we want to do dinner. And next thing you we're there and i have to say leaving there that is the most crowded i've ever seen it like that room what time did you get there how long did you wait and what time did you leave 5 30 we arrived right around i would say i we probably arrived at 5 10 uh you left right after we got off the phone. Yeah. We waited probably 40 minutes to get a table,
Starting point is 00:24:48 so we probably didn't actually get seated until 6. And when we left just after 7, I can confirm, Matt's might have been the most busy it's ever been. Dude, the last couple weeks. The post-Austin thaw out that allowed everyone to get out, just like the general – I mean, I think a lot of people still didn't have power, so's like well let's go to a restaurant where they do it was a scene in there dude i'm carrying roads out danny amandola was there it was amandola wasn't it
Starting point is 00:25:14 shout out to him that's cool who was he literally took someone he's got his photo on the wall there with a guy from atzal rancho and the reason i knew it was amandola was because he brought a guy over showed him the picture it was like pretty cool right and then walked away and i was like oh that's just you yeah oh okay so amandola gets one we don't very hot yeah i've seen him numerous times in austin he's hot what's like 5 11 amandola he's not tall no he's he's not i got it i have inches on him you don't gross you don't uh if you look at him, you wouldn't immediately jump to, you know, pro bowl wide receiver.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Yeah. Speaking of... I found the girl. Elizabeth Olsen. Elizabeth Olsen? Lizzie Olsen. That's a big get. O-L-S-E-N.
Starting point is 00:26:01 As I look her up. She's a... I think... I guess she's WandaVision? Oh, yeah. She's the, I think, I guess she's WandaVision? Oh, yeah. She's the third Olsen sister. Yeah. Elizabeth Olsen?
Starting point is 00:26:10 Dude, that's really big. Especially if you're like Randy and I and you dabble in the come universe. Yeah, she's very into that. Cinematic universe of Marvel if you're new here. Yeah, a lot of people out there have their. Yeah, she's a car. Mine's in the gutter. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:26:22 Wait, Randy looks skeptical. Why are you skeptical? to put him on horny street but did you tell james about this he's a big oh no oh you should probably tell him he'd been very upset yeah i'm also a little h for elizabeth olsen oh i don't know that i've never seen i've just was like, I know you're like somebody. That's an A-lister, I would say. Really? Approaching, for sure. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:52 My bad. She probably could buy a Lambo. That's all I'm saying. Okay. So she knows AI. Saturday night, she's leveraging the right tools. That's all I'm going to say. Saturday night, stayed in, didn't do anything.
Starting point is 00:27:05 Watched Bellator. First time watching a Bellator card. Really kind of terrible. I'll talk about that on Too Much Dip. Anyway, Sunday. Oh, by the way, shout out intern Craig. Old grand intern Craig. We ran into him and his friends and his girlfriend. Frattest intern we've ever had.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Just a nice guy. I was walking right out of the bathroom, and I had just washed my hands, and I want to applaud Craig for not attempting the handshake because I still had borderline wet hand, and it would have been really awkward. So I apologize for not introducing myself personally to everybody, but, yeah, wet hands. Sunday, Micah hits us with a text. Anybody want to go do exactly one one guinness at kelly's
Starting point is 00:27:47 kelly's irish pub new place we fancy right good point um it's like yeah i'm in turns out they did they were not open so we pivoted brett mike and i went and had uh a bloody and a beer at uh black sheep lodge up the road very cool we did as someone who had to miss that and didn't want to miss it i i do get a small tiny amount of pleasure in that kelly's didn't actually happen you guys had to move somewhere i think kelly's could have escalated the situation i think so too i actually i had i had a dream that if i wanted to go there around 4 p.m i could have shot a text out and you would have been like yeah, we've been here for three hours, and we're not moving so I Went anyway, I did exactly one drink with Dave and Micah and then I went to Kelly's for lunch and
Starting point is 00:28:32 I stayed there for a little bit popped open the lappy at the bar stop doing that dude I'm not gonna go I can't I can't have people at Kelly's Irish pub No that I roll with the dude who's on his laptop there. But I can't do that. I'm not going to be solo bar, no laptop guy. Why? Because I'll just be on my phone. I feel like the laptop gives you a – Why don't you just talk to the boys?
Starting point is 00:28:52 It's Sunday. Talk to the fellas. I didn't have the – it was admittedly a little slower at Kelly's yesterday than normal. Wednesday night it was a C. Who is tending the bar? I don't know. Was it Tom, Pat? Michael?
Starting point is 00:29:10 Irish names? I am. Nope, don't know. Great. Good stuff. Brenda actually was her name. She's from Ireland. Oh, Brenda.
Starting point is 00:29:19 All right. Yeah, and that's Sunday. Just a nice relaxing day. We did some yard work we lost bad news we lost a couple of agave in the freeze that's fine we found we got some babies that were like under our other ones that are thriving and we replanted them we're gonna we're doing we're just seeing if we can salvage you're okay yeah any uh any air conditioner problem no no um the one the one tree that we really had um because we ripped out the big
Starting point is 00:29:46 dead one in the front yard and we got the house um it it broke last year during last year's ice storm and happened to land on my ac unit right we're without hvac for a few days not great but we we were we were sorry to hear that david yeah All in all, great weekend. It's your boy. Hi. Friday night, went to Kanji. It's a restaurant on the east side of Austin. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:15 New York Times has dubbed it one of the best 50 restaurants in America. While I'm not positive it's one of the best 50 restaurants in America, it's a very, very good restaurant. And I matched that jerk chicken button. I learned that if a drink is called rocket fuel. Oh, boy. You got to be careful. You got to be careful drinking that.
Starting point is 00:30:31 First thing you said to me at Matt's was, drink rocket fuel, I'm hungover. I had exactly three drinks. Count them. One, two, three. I felt awful on Saturday. Not good. Luckily, I got to cure that with David Mattel Rancho.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Did that shrimp fajita button, because you know I'm on that pescatarian grind. I did not get to watch any footy on Saturday because we didn't have internet and I didn't want to sit there on my phone when my son played. And so it was just tough out there. But we finally got internet back late Saturday. So we're just absolutely feasting right now. And yes, Sunday, I actually, I spent two hours of my Sunday in my bedroom with Randy Trimbaki. Randy, do you have, Randy came over to my place yesterday to do a little, a little filming for me for some Spawn Con coming to an Instagram feed near you. Randy, any, any knee-jerk takes on the DeFries household, Instagram feed near you.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Randy, any knee-jerk takes on the DeFreeze household, my domicile? Very nice place. You keep it quite pristine. Well, we were doing that for you. Thank you. I didn't notice until after you left that You've Got Mail was actually playing on the main television for the entirety of the time that you were there,
Starting point is 00:31:39 but you didn't see it because you were in the bedroom. Classic DeFreeze ambiance. I was working hard in the bedroom. Alright, don't say it like that. Just because you were in the bedroom. Classic DeFreeze ambiance. I was working hard in the bedroom. All right, don't say it like that. Just filming some stuff in the bedroom. It was the first time that Randy's filmed stuff in my bedroom, but hopefully it's not the last. We did some good stuff.
Starting point is 00:31:55 There's a little chair in the corner. There actually is a chair in the corner. Usually there's clothes draped all over it. Everyone's got a chair in the corner with clothes all over it in their room, right? Yeah. Well, it's the Peloton for some people. It's the chair for other people. Does Fritz... Is he like, yo, where's
Starting point is 00:32:12 Home Alone? We watched it every day over the Christmas season. Now it's kind of cut out of life? We sneak in some Home Alone for Fritz Mann still. You know he likes his Home Alone. So we still allow him to do that. But yeah, overall, good weekend. Really sorry to a lot of EPL supporters out there
Starting point is 00:32:30 from teams like Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea. A lot of those teams had trouble getting points this weekend. Manchester City might not even be in the Premier League next year. So who knows? Yeah, how do you do that? Is it like the death penalty of soccer? You just take their name off the schedule? How does that work? I don't know the logistics of it, Brett, so who knows yeah how do you how do you do that is it like like the death penalty of soccer you just like take their name off the schedule like what how does that i don't know the logistics of it
Starting point is 00:32:49 brad but i i really hope we get to find out what are the chances the saudis don't care about financial indiscretions and just sign up for like their super league like the live of soccer just that city being after how bad the other super league went down i just don't see it happening again i've watched an apple tv Apple TV Plus documentary on it. It's very boring, in my opinion. Super League famously fell through the same day that Fritz was born. I forgot about Super League.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Best day of my life. I thought that was going to be a really fun time. That was recent. Sally was like, are you more happy that I'm in labor right now or that the Super League is falling through? I was like, don't put me on the spot. Wow.
Starting point is 00:33:22 Super League existed. Yeah. For a hot it's literally oh yeah one like four days yeah four days holy shit oh yeah good weekend good weekend but hey guys we got a special guest in the studio and by in the studio i mean phoning into the studio nice who's that you guys ever hear this dj bean guy he's gonna talk to us about the grammys but before we do i want to give a special shout out to a new sponsor alert new sponsor new sponsor i'm excited about this my best dylan this podcast is sponsored by groove life a lot of dudes out there they got crappy looking wallets you're out

Let's talk to DJ Bean about last night's Grammy, shall we? Ladies and gentlemen, the Grammys were last night, which means we have to have our resident music expert on the podcast with us.
Starting point is 00:35:56 Of course, we're talking about Brunch's own DJ Bean. DJ, how do you feel about Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album going to Michael Bublé's hire last night? Oh, no. Now, who is it? Oh, it was Dylan that was a Bublé's higher last night. Oh, no. Now, who is it? Oh, it was Dylan that was a Bublé guy that chunked his whole dang song draft, right? Christmas song draft, famously, yeah. Yeah. He brought in a Christmas beef for that one and just totally undid a lot of great things he'd done in previous rounds.
Starting point is 00:36:24 Will, the sad thing is like eight years ago, I actually would have had an answer to that. I would have been going through all of the categories and been like, well, clearly when you consider Buble's previous output, this was a makeup call. The
Starting point is 00:36:39 go-to, the secret weapon to talking about the Grammys, by the way, is call every win for somebody a make-up call. And then say the last thing they put out was better, but the Grammys missed it. Because that's what the Grammys does. I have to get your take on best medal performance. I know this is a category you're an expert in.
Starting point is 00:37:01 You're a big medal guy. Speaking of that that what you just referred to we've got aussie winning for degradation rules uh are we sure that was better than turn style blackout i just i'm not sure okay so everybody was very turn style was like the one of the exciting conversations this year because people typically don't see cool newish bands that they like get nominated for stuff but they were never going to win like ozzy won for best uh metal he won ozzy won best rock album this year and the grammys have this move of ultimately they lean on who have we heard of before and i think that in the foo fighters
Starting point is 00:37:45 documentary dave grohl said that where he's like yo like there's a reason we play at every grammys because they're always like oh shoot we need a rock band are the foo fighters still putting stuff out okay let's get the foo fighters or the red hot chili peppers and they're the rock band so there were some really good rock albums put out this past year. Spoon, I thought, had the best album overall of the year. Lucifer on the Sofa. And I knew they weren't going to win because the Grammys are stupid. But when Ozzy wins over them, it's just clearly, okay, we know who Ozzy is and we don't know who these other guys are. How offended were you by some of the performances last night?
Starting point is 00:38:29 of the performances last night um i thought that a lot of them in particular the uh the hip-hop 50th anniversary tribute wasn't satanic at all and that really bugged me i thought steve lacy was was being uh really really woke by not having any uh devil imagery and i thought that he was a cuck for that one and who else stevie wonder like come on they i didn't see there was no fire there were no like it was just a bunch of musicians up there singing what that is i'm sorry that's soft man i thought we were gonna get a sacrifice from Stapleton, but no. He was actually just playing guitar and singing. Wait, Stapleton didn't have any blood go down his beard last night? No.
Starting point is 00:39:12 It was a big miss. These might as well be our grandmas at Grammys. Yeah. I thought that Stapleton was woke for that one. DJ, you had a viral tweet last night. I would like to be the first to congratulate you on the virality of your tweet. Do you have anything to say to the artist that you might have slighted who actually won the award? Ooh, good question.
Starting point is 00:39:35 Now, this was a song of the year one. So, oh, Bonnie Raitt. Yeah, please apologize to Bonnie. I apologize to Bonnie profusely. I'm happy for Bonnie. That was a fun little curveball that Bonnie Raitt won. In the group text, I had said that I was in trouble. I was in danger of dying if Taylor Swift had won Song of the Year for the 10-minute all too well. Song of the Year famously is a songwriting award. People ask, what's Too Well. Song of the Year famously is a songwriting award.
Starting point is 00:40:05 People ask, what's the difference between Record of the Year and Song of the Year? Record of the Year is the overall production, the whole package. Song of the Year is a songwriting award. You could say what you want about Taylor Swift, and many people say a lot of things, correct and incorrect, about Taylor Swift.
Starting point is 00:40:22 All Too Well, the normal version, is not a well-written song the 10 minute version of all too well is legitimately a horribly written song it's the 1564 chord progression which is the most common chord progression right i've been saying that i've been saying that looped for 10 minutes that is terrible songwriting if that had won a songwriting award i don't know how but i'll tell you what i would have been dead right now well she was also famously nominated with liz rose her co-writer on the uh the song so so you're also putting uh our friend liz on front street as well is that like a pseudonym for some like random friend of taylor swift or based on the grammar website, I cannot confirm or deny whether or not this is a stock photo
Starting point is 00:41:08 and whether or not Liz Rose is just a fake person. Got it. No, Liz Rose was indeed a co-writer of Taylor Swift's up until, I believe, was Red the final album on which she co-wrote? No, that was the dad on that 70s show. And now that 90s show, he's the grandfather. Okay, and then Taylor was 1989. No, he's not dead. He's alive.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Red Foreman? I thought, is Red Foreman not dead? Well, you're the breaking news guy. Yo, is he dead? Is it because Taylor Swift is dead? He's in that 90s show. He's famously on that 90s show right now. That's currently airing.
Starting point is 00:41:46 He's very much alive. You better hope he doesn't die today. If he dies today, it's on you. I hope he doesn't die. Breaking news, Red Foreman alive and well. The haters are furious. Who's dead? What's her name?
Starting point is 00:41:58 You asked who's dead? Who's the wife? I think she's dead. No, no, she's very much alive. She's also on the show. You should watch the trailer for that 90s show on Netflix. We used to. This is bad.
Starting point is 00:42:10 But we all grow up and everything. Old episodes of like a celebrity died. We would talk about. We'd be like, oh, you hear so-and-so died. And then for the next like 20 minutes, we would just rephrase every single, every which way that that person died. And we wouldn't really further the conversation we'd be like man they're really dead no good that's a good bit bring it back we should see how that plays hey the reason we wanted to have you on we've talked song of the
Starting point is 00:42:41 year well what's gonna be the song of the summer oh i mean i didn't want to prep you but you're good on your toes my man okay now this one this one won a grammy last night so maybe it shouldn't be the song of the upcoming summer but tell you what i'm still feeling i was i was singing this song before we even hit record i'm just into that sam smith kim petras unholy that is a two-chord banger because because mommy don't know that daddy's getting hot at the body shop and that's always adultery yeah you you two are parents right famously brett you as well for all we know high five um who knows that that's good i'm sure that's a dynamic uh when in parenting that's maybe daddy's getting hot and uh mommy don't know about it i feel like you two could speak to it more than than i could
Starting point is 00:43:40 you go ahead well daddy get hot sometimes but mommy normally knows about it in my experience transparency is key in relationships yeah yeah okay so like even at the body shop i i famous when i go to the body shop i i actually mostly dress in carhartt now when i go to the candy shop that's a different story but usually scotty doesn't know right yeah you you took it a different direction i just want to make sure i'm covering all the bases here that's got to be the number one most like tick tock covered song right uh unholy i've seen it everywhere that's a big one but but uh everywhere that's a big one but but uh i know that that the artist formerly known as kanye has been uh let's say temporarily sunset perhaps but the like chipmunk samples are very big where like they'll take i've seen i see like help by the beatles
Starting point is 00:44:44 I see Help by the Beatles sped up. Do you see that? I have seen that. They'll do that. They'll do Abba does the Angel Eyes. They keep thinking about his angel eyes. They'll speed that up, and they'll do the Kanye West thing. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:45:00 It goes by Ye now for anyone who talks to him. Yeah, please apologize to Kanye for calling him something that he doesn't want to be called. He doesn't have access to this platform currently. he's banned from apple podcast he's banned from our podcast wow wow chris stapleton over here uh super woke but uh i i see that a lot and then there's also i saw a song that was happening it was called uh if we ever break up it was really catchy you know that one if we ever break up but call your dad so i looked up what is this song who is the song dude i heard that it's one of my favorites for tiktok i was just telling the guys a few weeks ago that that song is going to be like a hot song on tiktok that's crazy yeah maybe maybe even the song of the summer maybe i've got bad i've got bad bunny un verano sin t that's gonna be my summer i like everything
Starting point is 00:45:49 bad bunny does winners and losers of the grammys bad bunny just seems like a nice guy he does and as much as i hated to see uh trap cake volume two from raw alejandro lose um I love seeing Bad Bunny get up there and mix it up yeah he truly does there was a picture of he and uh Will's Will's pal Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny just seems like I don't know yeah he's he's never doing too much which as a celebrity especially at those things it can seem like you're forcing it like maybe the other person in that picture was. But Bad Bunny just seems like that dude. Did you say that there was a chunk warning in effect last night? Are you saying T-Swift chunked it?
Starting point is 00:46:39 Yo, I have questions about, do they make Taylor Swift stand up the entire award show? Because I get it if like a song is playing and she wants to dance along. That's like a staple of award shows. Not like that. They cut to Taylor Swift. She's dancing. She's having a good time. She's singing the words.
Starting point is 00:46:56 But then sometimes they would cut to her when an award was won. Somebody's up there giving a speech. Nobody else is standing up and she's just standing up and the person behind her is like ma'am you're tall and then i saw when steve lacy was playing she was standing up and she clearly had never heard bad habit before this was clearly the first time she'd ever heard the song didn't know the words didn't know anything and we're just kind of like awkwardly bobbing around and it's like yo you're allowed to just sit down in fact most people are seated during this dj i'm going through some other winners from last night we have you know beyonce um you know we have brandy
Starting point is 00:47:38 carlisle uh we have several girl bosses do you want to rain on their wins at all uh additionally in addition to taylor swift wow famously i uh famously i i don't like any bands made up of uh of of three women for sure definitely not a girl bosses person no uh so i'm a big beyonce person and finally i see that this year people are kind of writing about and putting stuff out there that is the drum I've been beating for years, which is don't take the bait when the Grammys tell you, hey, look how many awards we give Beyonce. Oh, now she's the world record holder for Grammys, blah, blah, blah. The Grammys always screws over Beyonce. They never give her any of the big three awards which is record of the year song of the year and album of the year the only time they've given her one of those awards is 2010 single ladies got song of the year and every other award they've given Beyonce
Starting point is 00:48:37 has been a either genre award which is like best R&B album or like best R&B pop vocal or shit like that, which good for anybody who wins those Grammys, but those aren't the big three. And the Grammys never gives Beyonce her due there. Now, this year, I don't think they really screwed her over because I don't think Renaissance was unbelievable. I think that all the albums nominated for album of the year this year were like good to pretty good, very good ish. I don't think it's an outrage that Harry Styles won for that album, but don't listen to the Grammys when they tell you that they give Beyonce her
Starting point is 00:49:18 flowers because they really don't. Are there theories as to why? I, I really don't know Are there theories as to why? I, I really don't know. I mean, I think that a lot of it is outside of lemonade Beyonce. And again, I say this as a Beyonce fan,
Starting point is 00:49:32 Beyonce doesn't have a lot of amazing albums. Lemonade, I think is one of the best albums of the last 20 years. And then a lot of her other stuff is they're, they're kind of like foo fighters albums where they have maybe one to four amazing songs and then the rest of it is okay to good but the top to bottom elite albums are few and far between although shout out foo fighters wasting light they uh they had a late career great album with uh with that um overall though your highlight of the night what was it and why was it the
Starting point is 00:50:14 roundtable of fans explaining why they want their favorite artist to win oh thank you for bringing that up uh it would have been terrible if we forgot to discuss this that was the worst thing the grammys have ever done and they gave folklore album of the year stop great album perfect quarantine album people are saying uh that was so bad and i don't know what they thought they were going for especially with the different backstories of each of the fans for those of you who didn't see they did a round table for album of the year and had a representative from each artist explaining why my artist better win album of the year i think they deserve to win it and some people had interesting backstories which just made them interesting didn't make
Starting point is 00:51:01 the album interesting like somebody was uh let me think the the abba fan was like abba hadn't put out an album in 40 years you're like yeah cool who cares and he's like my house burned down i don't see what these have to do with each other but now i'm into this person i actually do feel bad i'd called that person a nerd before they uh said their house burned down so shut out that person. You regret the error. Then they cut to... First time hearing of this. Like Adele's fan is like,
Starting point is 00:51:31 Adele is so good. One time I posted a video and she DM'd me. You're like, so she should win album of the year? And then the Coldplay person was like, yo, I come from a big big family i don't have a lot of friends but i do listen to coldplay dude hers was preposterous the whole thing was like yeah i saw coldplay play one time my friend was like you should go and i was like no i just broke up with my boyfriend and then i went and it was like oh okay thanks for thanks for coming on i'm sold
Starting point is 00:52:02 the story is i went to a Coldplay concert one time. So they should have an album of the year. One of my favorite concerts I've ever been to, Coldplay at TD Garden. Very cool. I bet that was a blast. I've never seen Coldplay, but I bet they have all the lights going.
Starting point is 00:52:17 I'm not the biggest U2 fan, but I went to see U2 because you know they're going to put on a crazy show yeah it was the first time i've ever been to a concert that had the wrist lights that light up to the beat of the music i've never done that and they did when they played like paradise and viva la vita it was cool yeah i get it i get it dj do you have any do you have any concerts in the hopper that you're uh you got in the pipeline in your crosshairs? Good question. You went on a bit of a tear last year.
Starting point is 00:52:50 People were saying it was like the Sammy Sosa, McGuire 98 with you and Pete in concerts. Yeah. I mean, I've slowed way, way, way down with concerts. One of the ways in which I feel like everybody got aged in surprising ways during quarantine. And mine was that I went from being a person who stands on the floor at shows, will be like middle of the crowd, maybe even move up a little bit to after when I like the first concert I went back to. I was like, oh, shit. I'm one of the old guys at concerts now.
Starting point is 00:53:26 So I hang in the back or if there's a good mezzanine situation, I'll do that. So a good mezzanine. Yeah. That's kind of slowed down the, the, the rate at which I've attended concerts, but coming up friends of the podcast,
Starting point is 00:53:41 Houndmouth are coming to Portland, Maine in a couple of months. So is Father John Misty. Big fan of that guy. I'd have to chat. Oh, Dead & Co. I know that Will will be attending. Will, are you doing San Fran?
Starting point is 00:53:56 I am. I am. I need to get rid of my Dallas tickets. So if anyone needs Dallas tickets, hit your boy up. What do you think of this move dj of flying in for one night and one night only and flying back after the concert in the morning i have done that before so uh i don't know if i should defend it just because i've done it but i've always enjoyed it so i mean, I thought about doing this for your...
Starting point is 00:54:25 Let's see, where was I? I was someplace else. I must have been in LA, because I don't go anywhere. But I thought about doing that for your company party. Oh, yes. Flying in, surprising Dylan. I suppose it would have been a surprise for the rest of you guys as well. No, but Dylan's the one who would have...
Starting point is 00:54:44 He might have broken down crying. Yeah. We'll do this at some point. First time I see Dylan in person, he's going to cry. Well, because... I love that. Because Dylan is not here, do you want to use your parting words to give a message to Dylan
Starting point is 00:54:58 who skipped today's episode when he heard that you were coming on? Is it because he just didn't know what he'd even be able to do with himself he didn't watch the grammy start to finish like the all of us did start to finish i didn't miss a beat i mean really as long as you watch the kim petras in sam smith tribute to satan then that was the that was the only that was the only real part of the grammys everybody else was just being a cuck yeah up until that point i was just like dude there's a glaring lack of of uh you know dark prince worship right satanic worship yeah like bonnie rake got up there and she had red hair and i was like all right finally and then she was like oh i'm so surprised thank you so much i love music and i was like vom heard it before
Starting point is 00:55:46 soy boy what's next for dj bean in 2023 oh man boy is that a good i haven't known what to make my twitter bio because famously i'm between jobs right now. And when I began the between jobs thing, I was like, nice, I'm going to just dink around, make stuff that I want to make. And then when I get back to work, then that'll be that. And now I'm perilously bored and maybe wishing that I'd put a little more elbow grease into having the next job lined up. So your guess is as good as mine. There are some things I want to do, and we'll see if I end up doing them,
Starting point is 00:56:33 but I'll say the best is yet to come. Wow. Well, DJ, I want to commend your hair real quick under the hat. Looks absolutely phenomenal. So from one flow guy to another. You look good, man. My goodness. This was just Brett's way of being able to talk about his own hair.
Starting point is 00:56:50 Yes. Brett, your hair has surpassed mine. I hope you understand that. No, no, no, no. You have the judge's position. My hair is on the way down. Yours is on the way up. And there's no one I'd rather have the best hair at washed media than
Starting point is 00:57:07 than than brett dj just gave my hair best new artist he just compared his head to ryan cabrera's waited all my life to cross the way down i'm just gonna sit this entire one out i saw you save me from us wow wow can i can i say i'm still rattled from will saying are there any other women whose music you want to discredit best thing yo like so i'll get in trouble for this like taylor swift doesn't make music with with girls oh okay she keeps using like she keeps using retread white guys and that bums me out so much. I'm not saying that Taylor Swift has to make music with other women, but there are so many people that she could put on, and I wish that she would. She suppressed that Lana Del Rey feature on Midnight's 3AM edition. Yeah, that wasn't that good.
Starting point is 00:58:02 Taylor Swift is from Pennsylvania. yeah that wasn't that good taylor swift is from pennsylvania isn't she like why did she get oh yeah my favorite meme my favorite meme was when uh she did the look what you made me do music video there was a still of her when like her and all the white girls were doing like the formation type thing you know that shot and it said uh my mommy pennsylvania my daddy pennsylvania you take that pencil with the Vania. I'm from Pennsylvania. Amazing. Well, DJ, thank you so much for joining us.
Starting point is 00:58:33 It's been wonderful as always. Where can the people go follow and listen to you? You can listen to me on the Brunch podcast. Although, I'll tell you what. My favorite podcast is legitimately circling back. So you can check that out Pete and I listen all the time
Starting point is 00:58:49 we'll see what you boys are up to so my plug is to listening to circling back and please join the one of the patreons so you could do the circling back patreon which ultimately I think is the best thing to do but also you could check out the brunch Patreon.
Starting point is 00:59:06 Patreon.com slash listen to brunch where you get bonus episodes. And right now we're doing weekly bonus episodes that, among other things, include recaps of the show Your Honor on Showtime. And I know that it's not the best business model to pigeonhole yourself into the bonus episodes or just about this one show that people may or may not watch. But Your Honor is the most outrageous show in the world. And Pete and I love talking about it. So the best business model is keeping Pete and Deej happy. We love it. We love the patrons. We also sometimes if people don't retweet one of our tweets we'll post those tweets on the patreon to make sure uh the proper eyes get on it because some of our tweets are really good why aren't we doing that yeah it's true i like that it's true yeah all right deej
Starting point is 00:59:59 thank you man we love you appreciate Appreciate it. See you, DJ. Love you, boys. Always good to hear from DJ. I was craving brunch yesterday. Man. Both the podcast and the... Oh, yeah? Yeah. I did a croissant yesterday. Really?
Starting point is 01:00:15 Yeah. Just like a normal croissant? A croissant. What's your favorite pastry, Dave? In croissant. Like breakfast pastry? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:24 Is a donut a pastry? I think so i mean i would i don't really know but like yeah i think so i'm notably a not a big sweets for breakfast feller however i do like the occasional um loaded donut um i do like the the ongoing bit that big cat um your former co-worker has where he posts like he'll post like a big box of donuts and i saw one he posted that had um what looked to be fruity pebbles yeah yeah that's a staple that i felt like that is a a game changer i've never thought about putting fruity pebbles on a donut no i've seen that before and it just sounds amazing i need to try really i'm a scone guy i was always a tricks over fruity Fruity Pebbles guy. No, that's bad take.
Starting point is 01:01:05 Big time. It's a rough take. Trix is so much better than Fruity Pebbles because you get more flavor. I dabbled in both, but what you just said is so incorrect that I'm thinking about just leaving the show right now. Yeah, that's a bad take. Why do you talk... Fruity Pebbles get all soggy and just...
Starting point is 01:01:16 The milk, dude. The milk afterwards. Do you understand the milk doesn't get affected by the Trix? Not to the same level. Dude, Trix is for kids, bro. Grow up, dog. What are Fruity Pebbles for? Grow up. affected by the tricks not to the same level dude tricks are for kids bro grow up dog pebbles grow up for people who are serious about their bodies is fritz into like super sugary cereals yet or no dude he's too young for that shit dude i don't know what kids i think no he gets two eggs every morning that's more than i can eat he eats egg good for him yeah oh dude cheesy are you kidding me that's's awesome. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:45 Expensive, but awesome. Can you explain what's going on with just everything about our next segment? So the main character on Reddit at the end of last week came from the, am I the a-hole forum? There's a subreddit, am I the asshole? Yeah. That subreddit also famously inspired me asking if I was the asshole for towing that person. So I have a personal vendetta with that subreddit now.
Starting point is 01:02:12 So a guy, I don't know his username. I don't want people to like dog some. I'm sure it's already happened. He posted something, and here's what the deal is. He said, since my wife and i have been together i have worked as a manager for a restaurant chain okay that's fine there's i don't think there's any shame in that no there's a David if you do what he does but overall there's no shame in this like yeah i i'm never gonna judge you by how you make your money how you take care of dude you make
Starting point is 01:02:41 good money managing fast food for. McDonald's pays fucking well. I got a neighbor who manages a Thundercloud. He says I'm an extreme. They got good beddies there. They do. 401k match. I know. Whenever I see the sign on the wall, I'm like, fuck.
Starting point is 01:02:54 20-something dollars an hour. He said, I am an extremely passionate aviation enthusiast in my free time. Brett, does that pique your interest? Yeah. As a noted interested in aviation guy, it does. He said, I've spent thousands of dollars on flight textbooks, sim gear, and even built my own A330 setup. I've never actually flown a plane or started flight training, but I have considered it for a long time. Even though my skills are not a career, I still consider myself as adept
Starting point is 01:03:26 or possibly more knowledgeable than the average pilot. All right. I wonder where he's going with this. Then he says, my wife and I were invited to one of her male coworkers'
Starting point is 01:03:38 homes for a barbecue. My wife is a senior software tech for a COVID startup. I don't know why he got so specific. We make our way down the line to the host of the party, a new male hire that she has grown platonically close with. All right. We exchange casual conversation and the host, Greg, asked what I do for a living. My wife chimes in and says he manages a blank insert fast food chain.
Starting point is 01:04:08 It certainly comes with some benefits. I'm assuming she's referring to free food in a voice that implied nothing was wrong with what she said. The reason I paused up there, I thought maybe Brett would chime in with the haven't you people ever heard of closing a G-damn door? You didn't have to. I like where your a G damn door? I was going to, you didn't have to, I like where your head's at, but I was going to leave it. Cool.
Starting point is 01:04:29 Cool. I just want to explain myself. Okay. He very quickly, he says, I very quickly corrected her and told him that I am a pilot. My wife already knows how insecure I am about my job and how I'd rather be introduced by my hobby. I've earned the title of pilot through my 500 plus hours on,
Starting point is 01:04:47 on and SIM and thousands of dollars put into my craft. I think it is incredibly disrespectful for her to not acknowledge my skills and training just because I don't have a title of pilot on an overpriced piece of paper. It doesn't mean I'm not a pilot. I think it kind of does. Yeah. It's like saying I'm a doctor. No, see, I'll actually, overpriced piece of paper doesn't mean i'm not a pilot i think it kind of does yeah it kind of does pilot it's like saying i'm a doctor no see i'll actually i'm gonna roll with this guy and say
Starting point is 01:05:10 that the piece of paper is have not having his name on a piece of paper you know what that doesn't make it like i don't think that's the differentiator here but what doesn't make him a pilot is that he's never flown a fucking plane yeah you gotta get in the air like in the air you can i can hear the case that he knows how to do it all. And hey, I've even flown planes on my own. I've done some solo flights. If he actually had that, then I might hear it. But to say like that, no, you're buddy.
Starting point is 01:05:34 Gotta get in the air. Buddy. Gotta get in the air. He continues. I laughed it off with Greg. That's probably how it sounded. This is the most disrespectful part. Told him under my breath that my wife was often forgetful,
Starting point is 01:05:47 which I'm sure he's realized just from working with her. All right, dude. Like, dude, you don't need to be shooting strays at your wife right now. There's like four of them in this one. The wife is just getting clipped. He seemed to brush it off casually. At this point, I'm fuming, but I don't go much further than exchanging some nasty glances with my wife for the rest of the night.
Starting point is 01:06:07 As we pack into the car to leave, the argument starts. She feels as if I don't deserve my title as pilot because I'm not professional. I told her she is completely insensitive to the work I've done, and she will never understand what it's like to study so much. Didn't need to say that last part. Just going to let you know now. Yeah, she is. What is she, a software developer? She probably has no clue what it feels like to study.
Starting point is 01:06:26 Oh, you know. Sounds like – She's currently on the couch as I type this. Am I really the asshole for being – asking to be respected? She definitely paid for that couch. 100%. Dave, I know your hobby is you play a lot of golf, and you've spent thousands of dollars on your equipment, on courses, on shoes, on just everything.
Starting point is 01:06:48 I mean, I think you're a paying member of the Nest, no laying ups kind of subscription thing. I've got the certificate to show that. Are you going to have Alyssa start introducing you as a professional golfer? Actually, yes. After reading this, I am. Because if what he described is the standard,
Starting point is 01:07:05 if that's where the bar is, then I've got a lot of things I could be. I was just thinking the same thing. I like to punch the heavy bag at the gym. Yeah, you like heavy. What? You see Kendra Scott's heavy bag? Big content guy.
Starting point is 01:07:18 I'm also a boxer. Sure. You're a hockey player. I was born to be a hockey player. Yeah. famously plays hockey on tuesday mornings and thursday night sometimes even thursday nights sometimes even sunday mornings sometimes even sunday mornings i think what he could have what he needs to have done if he could go back he could say hey next time when people ask i mean yeah i don't mind you saying i manage a restaurant but say my true passion lies in aviation that's what you could have said and then that's going to open up a lot of questions like oh how many flight hours have you logged and you're gonna have to explain that you've never actually
Starting point is 01:07:53 flown a plane and that's on you that's tough i that's like if you even if you aren't introduced by your hobby a pilot the follow-up is going to be, how do you answer that question? Like, oh, who do you fly for? Yeah. This says, how much would you guys guess it costs to become a professional pilot? That's a very expensive... Like an average. To be honest, the answer that I just found, compared to other professions that you have to pay to go to school
Starting point is 01:08:18 for, it's not a crazy amount, but... Flight school this summer that I wanted to do it was like eight grand for the summer, basically level to do it was like eight grand for the summer basically level one so this says now i'm questioning what i have here there's a lot of different avenues for pilotry this says like in total all costs everything like when you're done it says that it would cost 96 000 to become a pilot when starting with no previous experience at all but if you already have a
Starting point is 01:08:44 certificate a private pilot certificate it'll be like 75 grand in total does that sound like it would be right i have no clue well again a lot of different ways that you can get into that in school this might be somebody who's trying to fly for like like delta or something like that versus someone who's just trying to get a private pilot's license because i can't imagine it would be 100 grand like embry riddle for, for example, is an aviation school. It's college. So you can do... I am not a pilot.
Starting point is 01:09:11 The closest I've become is I got to visit Miramar that one time, and that's it. I was essentially in Top Gun. That was a pretty cool trip, though. I essentially flew a fighter jet. You basically shot down that Chinese spy balloon You guys see this? He's the first confirmed kill for an F-22
Starting point is 01:09:29 That's aviation guy talk there So if you're this guy You have to become a pilot now You have to quit your job You gotta double down A restaurant And you have to Post a picture as a follow upup like who's the asshole now
Starting point is 01:09:46 with a piece of paper outside a pilot's window or in the air ideally yeah this guy needs he needs to go do this he needs to finish his stuff he needs to get get his piece of paper and he needs to make this happen even if you're flying for like fedex who stole dave's groove life wallet i think that would be a better i think that would be a better gig than flying commercial flights right oh well i'd rather fly boxes you're i mean less stress i guess um but your hours usually suck i've also yeah like you're flying it like hey how's taking off from 2 a.m sound all the time i had someone tell me that they they only did uh food delivery instead of uber because they were like yeah i don't have to deal with drunk people in my backseat
Starting point is 01:10:28 it's a great idea completely understand that i was like oh that makes a lot of sense it's like i make a little less but i also don't have to clean my car and worry about stuff it just smells like food every once in a while i still can't get past that he had he threw in this the um that the guy hosting it was a new male hire that she has grown platonically close with this guy's got insecurity there is oozing out of his pores is this our man greg yeah but so greg needs to go become a pilot and ideally greg if you want to really double down become a fighter pilot no greg is greg is the co-worker oh sorry yeah the husband needs to go back to school ideally in an engineering field or mathematical physics kind of related then become a fighter
Starting point is 01:11:11 pilot for the navy and then he's a badass i think that's that's option b it's top gun three probably easier yeah and that's just to be become a pilot an actual pilot, and start flying. Have to at this point. This guy's just looking for a little bit more juice in his life. He needs a little bit more action. He's got the juice. What if he becomes a pilot and then slims down and really improves his self-esteem? Do we know his body fat percentage?
Starting point is 01:11:42 No. I mean... You want to know if he's a hot guy i'm just saying something tells me i need a hot boy hotter as a pilot yeah dude the second you get your pilot's license you go from being you go up one single point at least i think pilot gives you a point maybe a point one point two i could i could i could justify 1.5 i could if you hear a dude if you see a 6 on the street and then you hear that he's a pilot after, he's immediately a 7.5.
Starting point is 01:12:09 It's a pilot. It does add points. I mean, fighter pilot adds points. Points, points. But fighter pilot changes everything. That's different. Nothing's the same after that. Yeah, this guy's just begging to steal valor right now.
Starting point is 01:12:21 Hey, give me your valor. You probably think you can land a jet aircraft carrier. give me your valor you probably think give me that uh a jet carrier i drink your vala up well shout out to this dude shout out to his family i think she's gonna leave her husband for greg she's going to leave if he continues with this mentality then she is going to leave him all-time cloud chased by this abby girl by the way who posted this interaction she goes the woman dash me dash was too stunned to speak acting like she is the the wife confusing yeah i thought it was her she waits as she waits uh four tweets before clearing this up that this is not my husband four tweets after 17 and a half million views 1.2 million views 1.1 million views
Starting point is 01:13:08 and finally the truth comes out this is not her husband yeah i watched dunkirk the other night i'm actually a veteran now did you really watch it no i've watched it before though it's really good yeah i watched it it's a good movie that was the first war movie that came up in my brain technically you're paid to light candles. That's kind of true. I'm a candle influencer. He's the fire starter. Twisted fire starter.
Starting point is 01:13:31 Yeah. I'm a prodigy when it comes to candles. Dave and I just had a lot there. Are you even a prodigy anymore? Are you guys ready? I knew it. For the biggest Sunday in sports, DraftKings Sportsbook, an official sports betting partner of Super Bowl 57,

Starting point is 01:15:52 Yeah. She left him. Some might say he left her when he chose to come back, but. Randy, if you don't mind. I'm going to let go, Jack. I want to see what all the hullabaloo is about here. What? Are we playing the clip?
Starting point is 01:16:05 Why does he look like a robot? He looks to me in the photo. So for people that aren't watching at home, Tom Brady posted a photo where he is sitting on the side of his bed. He's got his hand covering his junk. He's wearing a pair of brown tighty-whities, I would say. He looks objectively shredded and pretty good in it. And yeah, it's your classic thirst trap if you get this from tom brady are you firing back a nude like me specifically yeah yeah i'm not even close i agree i agree if you get this from tom brady
Starting point is 01:16:37 it's like oh shit i'm shaving i'm about to f tom brady i'm shaving all my body hair and what do you think of the move to cover the piece? Strategic? Well, he did put it on Twitter himself, and so I think I understand it. That being said, if you got it, flaunt it. There's no... I know you can't show nipples on Instagram if you're a young lady.
Starting point is 01:16:59 Correct. But I don't know if Meta has any regulations against moose knuckles. Bulge? Yeah. I don't know if Metta has any regulations against Moose Knuckles. Bulge? Yeah. I don't know what Tom... I don't know what his stance would be on something like this, but I am just team,
Starting point is 01:17:14 if you're going to post this kind of pick, you've got to show us the stencil. He did put it on the gram, too, which I thought was just on Twitter. He hard posted the thirst trap. Did he really? I might need to see the booty, though. He it was just on Twitter. He hard posted the thirst trap. Did he really? I might need to see the booty though. No, he's got his hand covering it, so we don't know.
Starting point is 01:17:29 He didn't hard post it on the gram, but he did IG story it. Cocky. I have to think that's one of the big, one of the all-time swipe up stories on Instagram. Okay, so you can sort, when you do this and you have people DM you, you can into your dm requests and you can sort it by followers what number of followers do you think is the highest oh response to him i'm gonna guess 10 10 figures like like dozens of millions of followers um like yeah right like somebody with like 35 million followers can be in there like yo hey tom you're saying the hypothetical person who's sliding into tom's dms correct person's followers oh yeah i
Starting point is 01:18:11 mean i is tom not the most eligible bachelor right now in on the planet no i wouldn't say he is he's got he's got baggage he's got baggage like kids yeah who's more who's got he's got an ex-wife he's got baggage i think there's better i think there's more eligible bachelors more eligible than tom uh i might need to call me it's like harry styles does he count is he the most who is like because he's got that olivia wildeck right now you don't want to deal with that that's still messy they went to the same gym a couple days ago yeah per du mois for some reason this says like the uh how awkward that was so fuckward what was what's harry doing in the gym he's trying he's trying to maintain his
Starting point is 01:18:53 perfectly tiny arms left i get it he's perfectly probably better i think he was sick last night during his performance actually physically sick i thought i thought it was sally said she's like he sounded way better at his actual concert. He sounds awful on this. I think he had COVID. It must be hard because the stage was spinning. It was famously spinning. How do you guys feel about Greg Abbott's
Starting point is 01:19:15 most recent tweet regarding social media? I haven't seen it. It said, announcing today a statewide plan to ban TikTok. Texans, especially our state agencies and employees, must be protected from having sensitive information shared with the Chinese Communist Party. We cannot ignore this security threat.
Starting point is 01:19:34 Greg's got to get his numbers. C-P-U. This stinks, Dave. I thought he already... No, he banned it from people with government-issued phones, right? I don't know. I would understand that i'd be okay with that but you can't stop me from sitting on the toilet scrolling scrolling the talk that's just what i do i have not researched this but i just here's the deal i assume you are giving up
Starting point is 01:20:00 some uh privacy when you download an app like tic tac you you are tic tac not tic tac these kids and their tic tac her tic tacs uh that being said i wonder i wonder what's at play here i wonder if um big silicon valley big american tech in an effort to thwart the rise of tiktok which is happening i i think it's i don't know if it's um eclipsed to google for like um users searching stuff but it's getting there and i'm wondering if there's like a behind the scenes there definitely is lobbying effort to like get stuff like this done and i wonder how much of it's rooted in actual national security uh and how much of it is like well we just want to get rid of tiktok so instagram and google and things can thrive yeah i think for a
Starting point is 01:20:52 company that employs like i don't know tens of thousands of people in the austin region it's kind of a weird flex for abbott to to cancel them but i don't know like like what what can tiktok take and give to the chinese that they don't already have yeah yeah well i guarantee i guarantee there are apps out there that we have on our phones right now that are probably more destructive to our personal information than tiktok like the like the guy who bought the 12 dollar um for sure nft of himself yeah yeah i uploaded dozens of photos of myself to this app there's gonna be to be like a hologram you that commits a horrible crime. Yeah, you know what? I'll be really pissed if I get deepfaked by the Chinese.

As long as your stroke game's good, you don't care if you get deepfaked. You get deepfaked by the deep state. It doesn't... It just doesn't matter. You're the next L.A. show. You're the next Lee Harvey.. show. We're still going to send five balloons.
Starting point is 01:21:45 You're the next Lee Harvey. Taiwan's going to blow up. It's just, it all doesn't matter, Dave. I'm a nihilist at this point. Oh, wow. I'm going up to Alex Jones next time I see him at Carver
Starting point is 01:21:54 and just be like, let's talk, man. What would Alex Jones say back to him? We've got to get, no, TikTok's not the real problem if you look at what the National Security Agency
Starting point is 01:22:01 has already done for years. It's really good. Yeah. You should try the burger at Carve. Their happy hour is actually pretty respectable. A lot of good wines on tap. Do you ever feel like a little gross from the wines on tap because of the tubes? Yeah, I'm not a big fan of tubes.
Starting point is 01:22:20 My tubes. That's pretty much all I got. my tubes pretty much all i got uh that's why i think everybody should move to rick talk my platform where you do dad stuff what if it was just every video is a rick roll never gonna give you you just never know when it's gonna actually come in rick talk yeah it's like for it's like home improvement tiktok but exclusively no that got canceled after the Pam documentary. Way to go, Brett. You start that yet, Dave?
Starting point is 01:22:49 No, we started it the other night. I didn't finish it, though. What's up? We started the other night. Watch the ending. And I do plan on watching it, but we started it after 10 p.m. after two Matt's margaritas,
Starting point is 01:23:01 so it lasted about three minutes before I fell asleep. Been there. Anyhow. That's like seven ejaculation jokes in one podcast. Those are low numbers for us. Don't be perverted and call it ejaculation, dude.
Starting point is 01:23:20 Can we take Tom Brady off the screen? They brought my filet out. It was a little overcooked. I had to send it back. I don't feel good about doing it, but dude, if I'm paying that kind of money for a good steak, I'd like it cooked the way I ordered it.
Starting point is 01:23:30 I feel so bad for the, the bartenders at carve. Like if I sit at the bar and just hanging out, that place has more stuff sent back than any restaurant I've ever been to by a mile. And it is, it's alarming. How do you think that's because they have particularly bitchy customers?
Starting point is 01:23:45 Or do you think that it's because... It's the clientele, our particularly awful members of society, that send back perfectly good meals and drinks, too. It's like, shut the fuck up. Is it the 1%? It's a glass of wine. Oh, sorry. Well, Nick Adams tweeted 17 hours ago,
Starting point is 01:24:01 I eat my steak rare or medium rare, all caps, never medium. If there's no red, I'm sending it back to the kitchen every single time. You know, he had a breakfast the other day. What was his breakfast? It's like a 24-ounce T-bone. He ordered a Randy, like three eggs. I think it was four eggs. Well, he said his alpha male sundae is breakfast, mass, a foursome with the boys,
Starting point is 01:24:27 and beef ribs courtesy of Mario. The left hates this. The left doesn't want to see you have a foursome with the boys. When he ends a tweet with the left hates this, that's when I know it's a banger tweet. That's his tell when it's a banger tweet. That's like if I would give a That Awkward Moment screenshot to a remote writer for one of their columns,
Starting point is 01:24:47 that's when he knew that I believed in that column. Beef ribs courtesy of Mario. Dude, shout out to his butcher Mario. It's his butcher, dude. Oh, okay. Everyone knows that. I didn't know if there was some noted rib maker. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:25:01 Well, Brett's famously the opposite of that. He's actually the rib taker-outer. Are you on a rib donor list yet? You got to get that thing repaired. I don't think. Well, Brett's famously the opposite of that. He's actually the rib taker-outer. Are you on a rib donor list yet? You got to get that thing prepared. I don't think you want my ribs. My ribs are... No, but you need someone. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:12 Maybe I can ask you if there's a Manson family member that can donate it. Probably. I think I'm conflating two things. You are, but people get it. Yeah.

It's just it's a genius play It is a genius play. It's an engagement hack every single time. Yeah. Well, somebody said hope you exercise It's a lot of food and he clapped back with I've got 36 holes with the boys after mass. It's great He's gonna burn so much. That's so much golf to fit in after mass mass it's gray he's gonna burn so much that's so much golf to fit in after mass i don't how's he fitting in 36 after mass you gotta you gotta start earlier than that
Starting point is 01:26:10 you can't fit 36 if you think mass ends at 11 and by the time he gets to the course it gets warmed up it's at the earliest it's noon he's gotta get 36 in yeah it's it's right and if he's especially if he's going to a mass which is you know predominantly a catholic situation oh yeah it could be it could be 1230 before they get out.

Starting point is 01:27:00 I'm more of a dancing with a dark guy. Me too. Shout out Bruce Springsteen. I feel like that song has been overshadowed by Courtney Cox's appearance in the video and the dancing, but that's an objectively great song. Subjectively a great song as well. Subjectively as well, Randy.
